Chapter 500: The Gannan Incident
At this moment, Yuan Dong, commander of the new Fourth Division, and Peng Tianqiao, chief of staff, were studying Jiang Haoran's telegram at the headquarters.
This Peng Tianqiao is also a veteran of Mahuiling, who was also a staff officer under Liu He, who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy less than two years ago, and became a prisoner in the Madang Battle for the first time, and because of this coincidence, he met Jiang Haoran, and since then he has begun the glory of his life, a small staff officer without any background, in less than two years, he jumped to the chief of staff of the division, which may be rare in **, but for the 40th Group Army, this situation is too much, including Yuan Dong, Yin Donglai, Xu Biao, Su Peng and so on, abound.
Yuan Dong said: "Chief of Staff, what do you mean by the general seat, the second detachment of the New Fourth Army was notified earlier that it was incorporated into the 40th Group Army, then it is considered our people, and it is less than two minutes, and we are ordered not to have too close contacts with them, isn't this a bit of a contradiction?" ”
"Hey, Master! You don't know this, didn't the Eighth Route Army fight a hundred regiments battle a few days ago? This guy must have stimulated the chairman of the committee a lot, so the chairman couldn't allow the 650th Regiment of the New Fourth Army to hide behind us, and organized them into the second detachment, making it clear that he wanted them to go to the front line to be cannon fodder. When the chairman pouted his buttocks, we couldn't see what ★ shit he was going to pull, so it was right for the head seat to distance himself from the New Fourth Army at this time, so as not to get burned. ”
"Rub, damn it, these people above can toss, this devil has just stopped, and they have started fighting and calculating each other again, isn't it still a cheap devil in the end?" Yuan Dong scolded.
"Yes, so, in order not to cause chaos to the general seat, we still keep a little distance from the New Fourth Army, I think they may pass from our defense area tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so let's go to the 200th Division, this general seat doesn't let us strengthen the contact with friendly forces, take this opportunity to hide!" Peng Tianqiao Road.
"Hey, Chief of Staff, your idea is good, a few days ago I also called Commander Dai of the 200th Division, saying that I would go to them one day to have a drink and drink, just right!" At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly came in to report that Fang Liqing, the commander of the 13th Division, had come to visit the division commander and chief of staff.
The 13th Division, which was subordinate to Wu Huawen's 75th Army, was stationed in Gao'an at the moment, and it could be said that it was at odds with Yuan Dong's Fourth Division, forming an offensive posture against Nanchang.
At this time, the strategic layout was that the 75th Army was the first line of defense, and the defense area was on the Gao'an line, while Du Yuming's Fifth Army was on the Shanggao line, which was the second line of defense.
Therefore, Fang Liqing's arrival Yuan Dong did not feel abrupt, and there was a lot of communication between them, after all, once the war started, the two troops would be interdependent comrades-in-arms.
Yuan Dong and Peng Tianqiao hurriedly got up to greet each other, and after a short time, Lieutenant General Fang Liqing, the commander of the 13th Division, entered the headquarters with a haha, and politely greeted each other, and Fang Liqing explained the purpose of this visit.
It's been almost a year, and the Japanese army just can't come out of Nanchang City, and the soldiers are about to find out what is wrong, so Division Commander Fang pondered that he wanted to hold a military confrontation exercise, first, to collect the soldiers' hearts, and secondly, to let the recruits feel the war in advance, so as not to pee their pants on the battlefield.
Division Commander Fang took a fancy to this mountainous area between Fuzhou and Ji'an, and planned to arrange the battlefield for military exercises here, so he wanted to ask Yuan Dong to be accommodating, temporarily evacuate the deployment in this area, and make room for them.
Brother troops train soldiers, this is a good thing, Yuan Dong has no reason to refuse, plus the Gao'an area is close to the front line of the Japanese army, it is indeed not convenient to engage in military exercises, don't be careless and let the enemy take advantage of the loophole, this joke is a big joke, so Yuan Dong readily agreed.
After Fang Liqing left, Peng Tianqiao asked, "Isn't it difficult for us to leave when they come?" ”
Yuan Dong said: "They practice theirs, we go ours, there is no conflict between the two, however, I still have to remind Commander Fang that the 650th Regiment of the New Fourth Army may pass through our defense area in the next two days, and we must pay attention not to hurt the friendly troops at that time!" ”
"Okay, I'll arrange this!" Peng Tianqiao Road.
In the 29th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1940, on October 14, the 650th Regiment of the New Fourth Army, more than 13,000 soldiers, received an order from the 40th Group Army, went to Quzhou to return to the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, and when passing through the junction of Ji'an and Fuzhou, it was ambushed, and after a night of fierce fighting, more than 13,000 soldiers of the New Fourth Army, only a battalion commander led more than 1,000 people to break through the encirclement and return to Jinggangshan, and the remaining 12,000 people were all killed. Chen Min, commander of the 650th Regiment of the New Fourth Army, and Luo Tingyu, secretary of the Jiangxi Prefectural Party Committee, were also killed in this battle.
When the news reached Jiang Haoran's headquarters, in fact, the battle had just begun, and after discovering that the ambush had been found, the commander of the 650th Regiment immediately reported the situation to the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, only saying that it was ambushed by the new Fourth Division of the 40th Group Army, because the terrain chosen was more suitable for ambushes, and the New Fourth Army did not expect to be attacked in the defense area of friendly forces, so it was not prepared at all, so that the first machine guns, artillery, and mines were swept and bombed, and half of the huge casualties were caused in the first round.
The regiment commander Chen Min reported to General Su with certainty that it was Jiang Haoran's Fourth Division that attacked them, because he found the figure of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team in the opponent's camp, although when the battle broke out, it was close to dusk, but they were absolutely not mistaken, dressed in camouflage, full of paint, and holding AK47, Jiang Haoran's Snow Wolf Special Combat Team was undoubtedly Jiang Haoran's Snow Wolf Special Combat Team.
And Mr. Su was also out of reach, so he could only quickly report the situation to his superiors, and after several turns, he finally arrived here in Zhuang Fuguo.
Zhuang Fuguo angrily rushed into Jiang Haoran's headquarters, accusing him of harboring evil intentions, taking good care of the New Fourth Army on the surface, but secretly doing dirty deeds, and being a complete villain.
This call made Jiang Haoran inexplicable, but when Zhuang Fuguo explained the situation, Jiang Haoran suddenly understood that he had fallen into the trap carefully laid by Dai Li, and this "Southern Anhui Incident" may not have happened after he killed Shangguan Yun, but history has not changed because of this, and the "Southern Gannan Incident" of the same nature was still tragically staged, and he was unfortunately involved, and even indirectly acted as an executioner.
Soon, Jiang Haoran called the headquarters of the new Fourth Division in Fuzhou in front of Zhuang Fuguo, and the deputy division commander informed him that the division commander Yuan Dong and the chief of staff Peng Tianqiao had already gone to the headquarters of the 200th Division in the afternoon, and they had not yet returned, and as for the battle in the defense area, it was only the 13th Division of the 75th Army conducting exercises, and it was definitely not arranged by their new Fourth Division without authorization.
