Chapter Eighty-Three: Evacuation of Headquarters in an Accident
Who can get drunk with me? Pray for god-level guidance! 】
After four days of anxious and anxious waiting, the two fighters sent to the secret camp of the headquarters to report the situation rushed back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Panting, he reported to Yu Chenglong: "The two secret camps in the headquarters have been discovered by the devil's reconnaissance plane!" By the time we arrived, the devil's bombers had already begun to bomb the two secret camps, causing heavy casualties among the troops, and almost all of the secret camps were destroyed. But the main leaders are still fine, and the commander-in-chief told us to come back and report that they will move to us according to the planned route, so that we can get ready! ”
"Are you coming back from the direction of Tianyao Ridge? Did you find anything on the way? Yu Jackie Chan was anxious.
"I came back from the direction of Tianyao Ridge, and I didn't find anything suspicious on the way." The two fighters replied.
"Go rest first, and then return to the team." Yu Jackie Chan said.
"It seems that the devil's army has not yet reached Tianyao Ridge, and at this current rate, it will take at least three days to reach the two secret camps of the main team. It seems that the devil doesn't want to fight us hard in this cold weather, he just wants to drive us out of the secret camp and freeze to death and starve to death in this mountain. I think the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief will not be in danger for the time being, so we will send a few more people to meet them, and the rest will pay close attention to the direction of Tianyao Ridge. Yu Chenglong said to Political Commissar Kim.
"That's all there is to it. This hellish weather is getting colder and colder, and I was expecting it to be warmer this winter, who knew it would become so cold all of a sudden. It looks like it's going to snow, so maybe it can be warmer. Commissar Jin looked up at the sky and said.
After another three days, the soldiers sent out to meet the corps came back and reported that the General Political Commissar, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Chief of the General Staff were moving to the secret camp of the Fourth Brigade with all the officers and men of the four brigades, and that they would arrive in two days, so that Deputy Commander Yu could be ready.
Sure enough, it snowed heavily that night. Commissar Kim was busy preparing the meal for the third day in anticipation of the arrival of the large army. Yu Chenglong continued to deploy in the direction of Tianyao Ridge. Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian was busy preparing dry food, and he had to get up early to personally greet the troops.
"Let's go. Take good care of the General Political Commissar, the Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of the General Staff, Captain Xiao, and the Captain of the Sea Brigade and the wounded. Don't stop on the road, it's too cold, let the fighters hold on! Yu Chenglong instructed Deputy Captain Zhang.
Deputy Captain Zhang also felt that the situation was urgent, made a little preparation, and set off with people overnight.
When I woke up the next morning, there were still snowflakes in the sky. The fighters who went to follow the reconnaissance of the Devil Brigade came back and reported that the devils had arrived at the secret camp of the headquarters, but they still pounced in the air, and they had not yet determined the direction of pursuit, but they were stationed near the secret camp of the headquarters and saw that there were planes of devils cooperating with the actions of the ground troops.
Yu Chenglong asked the two soldiers who came back to rest, and sent two groups of four people to continue to follow the devil's team to reconnoitre.
When it was almost dark the next day, the officers and men of the corps braved the heavy snow to arrive at the secret camp of the Jackie Chan Brigade one after another, and Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang were busy arranging for batches of soldiers to arrive. Yu Chenglong led the General Political Commissar, the Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of the General Staff, and Director Xunyang into his brigade headquarters secret camp. The brigade headquarters became the temporary headquarters of the headquarters, and more than 30 people were squeezed in at once, and most of them could only sit on their beds.
Seeing the tragic situation of the large army frozen, hungry, and injured, Yu Chenglong did not dare to ask more about the situation when the troops were bombed. It's just that Captain Xiao, who arrived later, told him that many weak and injured brothers were frozen to death on the road, and the situation was very miserable. Yu Chenglong didn't say anything, just sighed, and took Captain Xiao to the secret camp to visit the brothers, and rested very late.
The next day, General Political Commissar Qin Gang presided over an enlarged meeting of the military leading group of the Anti-Japanese Union Manchurian Corps, and more than 20 people crowded into the temporary secret camp of the headquarters, some sitting, some standing, and some squatting on the ground.
"Today's meeting focused on two issues: first, to summarize the lessons learned from our forced evacuation from the headquarters camp; The second is to discuss and determine the plan of action for the lower part of the corps. Last night, I had a preliminary discussion with the commander-in-chief, the chief of the general staff, and Director Xun, but it was still very immature. The situation is already too serious for us to hesitate any longer. Now, I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to share our thoughts first, and then we will discuss them. General Political Commissar Qin Gang stood on the ground presiding over the meeting, his expression was solemn and serious, and his tone was tragic and desolate.
The commander-in-chief extinguished the cigarette, squatted up from the kang, and said with the same serious expression: "Regarding the first question, I am mainly responsible!" At that time, I didn't think too much about it, and the reason why the enemy planes were able to discover us was that the secret camp was discovered by fire and smoke during the day, and the other was discovered by organizing troops to train in an open area during the day. No matter what the reason is, it's all my fault, I didn't expect the devils to send planes to reconnoitre, and I didn't expect that the Tianyaoling devil team had just withdrawn, and the enemy's planes came so quickly. In addition, when the devil's plane came to bomb, the hasty order to shoot at the devil's plane was also the main reason for the heavy casualties this time, and the comrades hated this little devil's plane too much! If they had all been hiding in the secret camp, the casualties might not have been so great. Another is the objective reason, the weather is too cold, and a number of wounded froze to death when the troops are transferred, especially the seriously wounded, and I am mainly responsible for all this, and after the radio station contacts the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee, I will ask the higher authorities for punishment. ”
"The lesson is profound! But the most important thing now is to prioritize how to defend against the enemy. Now that the devils have gone to our secret camp, I believe that they will soon discover our diversion route and follow us in a decisive battle. General Political Commissar Qin discussed with us that the idea was to set up defenses in the direction of Tianyao Ridge and in the direction from which we had transferred, and once the enemy came to attack, we would first block them for a while, and then retreat while fighting. The wounded and infirm were evacuated out of the mountain first. If you run further into the mountains, it is estimated that you will either starve to death or freeze to death. The first destination of the retreat was still Xinglongzhai. When you go there, you will first get food and supplies, and then contact the provincial party committee to determine the final direction of transfer. The devil came from afar, and now he is a tired army, we can stop them, let's retreat to Xinglongzhai again, and the devil will not think of it. That's basically what a few of us think, and we want to hear your opinions. ”
"I'll start with a few words." Captain Xiao stood up from the side of the kang and said, "Originally, we were ordered by our superiors, and we didn't have much right to speak. But since I want everyone to participate in the discussion, I will also share my opinion. One is to discuss the forced evacuation of the camp, which I don't think is necessary. If we want to say that we are responsible, we are all responsible, the last time we defended the big stone and small stone mountains, we suffered a big loss from the devil's plane, why didn't we accept the lesson, and we also enlarged the eye soup, that is, to underestimate the enemy. To put it seriously, it is that they do not understand the operational policy of the provincial party committee's 'concealed rest and recuperation', and they are so happy that they want to train the team to fight with the devils. If there is a problem in the guiding ideology, the responsibility should not be borne by the commander-in-chief alone, but by everyone. Entering the secret camp at the same time, why didn't anything happen to Yu Chengchan's team? They also passed on so many times to us, and also sent people to remind us many times, explaining that their brigade was in the right direction. Speaking of which, I have to say something that I don't like to hear, didn't the provincial party committee say that you formed a five-person group? Did Deputy Commander Jackie Chan participate in these ideas? Did you ask for his opinion? Does this conform to the principles of the organization that you are talking about? Besides, the purpose of the devils is to drive us out of the secret camp and drive us to the mountains to freeze and starve to death! We can't fall for the devils, we should think of a foolproof solution, withdraw to a safer place, and then try to develop. I don't think it's appropriate to pull the team to Xinglong Village, it's easier to let the devil make dumplings, it's just a fluke, don't you have to run to the mountains? Can we, scarred, tired and weakened teams, outrun the devils? No matter how anxious you are, you have to have a long-term plan, and you can't take care of it! If you say something wrong, please criticize the chief! ”
Captain Xiao's words made the atmosphere of the meeting a little tense. Everyone whispered to each other, and opposition and discontent quietly swelled.
"I think what Captain Xiao said makes sense, we have to come up with a more secure and safer plan of action. It's a bit adventurous to go to Xinglong Village, in the winter, there is nowhere to hide, there is nowhere to hide, and our two legs can't run the devil's horse team and car. At this critical moment, Deputy Commander Yu has rich experience, so let's listen to his thoughts. Li Baozhong, the political commissar of the new brigade, said.
Captain Hai of the Second Brigade, Political Commissar Shi of the Fifth Brigade, and others all expressed their support for Captain Xiao's opinion and disagreed with the plan of the headquarters.
"The responsibility for this forced transfer lies mainly with me, because we did not understand the intention of the provincial party committee well, there was a problem in the guiding ideology, and I accept the criticism of the comrades. As you have said, it is not appropriate to discuss this issue in depth at this time, but as long as everyone can seriously accept this lesson in their thinking, our goal will be achieved. As for Comrade Yu Chengchan's failure to participate in the formulation of our preliminary battle plan, I think that the correct mention is due to our weak organizational concept, and we originally wanted to bring it out for public discussion, but we did not solicit Comrade Yu Chengchan's opinions in depth before the meeting, and I take full responsibility. I also apologize to Comrade Jackie Chan here, please forgive me! Since everyone has said it, and the commander and chief of staff and I also want to hear Comrade Jackie Chan's opinions, you can tell you about it, and we will take it seriously. General Political Commissar Qin Gang said, and nodded to Yu Chengchan.
Yu Chenglong also stood up, without any expression on his face, and his tone of voice was not happy: "My consistent style as a person is to resolutely carry out orders, even if there are different opinions, we will not discount our actions, because our goal is the same, that is, to fight devils and establish a new China!" As for the first issue raised by the General Political Commissar, I will not talk about it, because it is no longer meaningful, and we have made fewer mistakes in the past? The key is to really take the lesson. As for the current plan of action for the next step of the troops, I also discussed with Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang, and basically reached a consensus. ”
"You ghost boy, don't say it yourself, use other female comrades as guns! Well, Commissar Kim, you can talk about it. The commander-in-chief squatted up from the kang, lit a cigarette, and eagerly urged Jin Yunji to speak quickly.
"The opinion we discussed was that the troops would rest in the secret camp for a few days, and the devils would not be able to find us for a while, and this heavy snow helped us a lot. In addition, we have sent two groups of scouts, and the movements of the devils are under our surveillance, and if the situation changes, we will get information, and everyone can stay here for the time being. Of course, you can't stay for too long, there are traces left by the transfer of large troops, and sooner or later the devils will find here. ”
"What we mean is that the troops will move after a short rest, but the direction of transfer is not Xinglongzhai, but the newly built secret camp of our brigade, where there is a relatively sufficient food reserve, enough for us to use for the winter. The leaders may still remember that when Comrade Jackie Chan and I went to the detachment for a meeting when winter was about to begin, Deputy Commander Yu said that the team's thinking was not stable enough, and it would take a while to lead the team to assemble, and the General Political Commissar approved it. In fact, it was an excuse, because the secret camp had not been built at that time, and the food and materials had not been transferred. I didn't report it beforehand, so I couldn't say it at the time, so I had to do that. Deputy Commander Yu had already foreseen it at that time, saying that our policy at that time was likely to lead to today's results, and he had already made preparations in advance, and now it seems that he was not wrong in foreseeing. As a party member, I didn't report this matter to the organization in time, and I accepted the organization's handling, but considering the situation at that time, if I had reported, the secret camp would not have been built, and we would really be flying around like headless flies today. Without saying too much, how to deal with it is the organization's business. Our idea was that after the troops had rested for a few days, the first and third brigades would be transferred with the wounded first, the second and fifth brigades would be transferred with the second batch of supplies, and the fourth brigade would select 50 elite soldiers to stay behind to contain the devils, lead them in another direction, and go around with them in the mountains until they were dragged down, and then go to the secret camp to join the large army. Political Commissar Jin blushed with excitement, and wanted to go on, but was stopped by Yu Chengchan with his eyes.
"Good! I said that there is no endless road, this plan is feasible, I support it! The Chief of the General Staff, who had been bowing his head in contemplation for a long time, raised his head and said.
"It's a safe plan, and I agree. However, the fact that the four brigades had privately built secret camps did not report to their superiors was a serious mistake. Even if it wasn't reported at the time, it should be reported afterwards. Such a serious violation of the principles of the organization should be thoroughly inspected and dealt with by the organization! Xun Yang, director of the Political Department, stood up and said at this time.
"What is private construction, you have worked in our brigade, and it has long been a practice for the original Anti-Japanese Allied Army Manbei Corps to build a new secret camp before the winter. In the past, all the teams did this, but before the other teams had time to start, the team was reorganized, and we were just one step ahead, how did it become a private building? If there is a mistake, it is also mine alone, and it has nothing to do with Commissar Kim. She was going to report that I had stopped her. If you want to be punished, you will punish me! Yu Chenglong stared at Director Xunyang and said.
"Deputy Commander Yu is right, this is not a private construction, it turns out that we did this, everyone knows it. It's just that you should tell us that Commander Fang and I are so unreasonable in your eyes? If that's the case, we really need to reflect on it. Okay, let's discuss the opinion of Political Commissar Kim. "General Political Commissar Qin Gang came out to play a round.
"I agree with the plan of the Big Four. It's just that the task of containing the devil is left to our second team, and my injuries are almost healed. Deputy Commander Yu has been tired a lot in the past few years, and he can't carry all dangerous tasks alone. Captain Haiqing said loudly.
"I also agree with the plan of the four major teams, but the task of containing the enemy cannot be handed over to the second team, your injuries are not yet neatly resolved, I will lead the first team to complete this task." Commander-in-Chief Fang Tianzhu also stood up and said.
"Thank you all for your kindness! If the advantage is that our four brigades are the most suitable, we are not only familiar with the terrain of the mountains near and far, but also familiar with the road to the new secret camp, and we are the longest rest and the least sick and wounded of all the teams, and we are the most suitable to take on the task of containing the enemy. In any case, Commander Fang can't go in person, isn't the one who is the deputy the one who charges into battle? Leave this task to us! Yu Chenglong looked at everyone.
"Okay, let's stop arguing, let's settle it like this! Commander Fang and Chief of Staff Yang were responsible for drawing up a concrete plan of action for the next step, and Director Xun and the political commissars of each brigade did a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, dispelled pessimism, and lifted up their spirits. Deputy Commander Yu will work so hard, just put forward any requests, and everyone will work together to meet you. You must know that more than 50 people went to contain 3,000 devils and the Jing'an army in this bitter winter, and they were unobstructed, and the difficulties can be imagined. The devils are like wolves and tigers, eager to swallow us in one bite, if they knew that they were chasing the river dragon in front of them, they would not all be desperate. Especially in this cold and freezing winter, it is neither conducive to hiding nor escaping, and you will accept the double test of the devil's pursuit and the harsh winter. You must fight wits and courage with the enemy, not fight hard, and give full play to your wisdom and bravery, and give full play to our long-term expertise in drilling deep mountains and old forests. I and all the commanders here, as well as all the officers and men of our Manchurian Corps, hope that you will meet us safely, and make new contributions to the great cause of resisting Japan in the future, and we must not disappoint the prayers of our comrades! General Political Commissar Qin Gang was very excited to speak, and after a short pause, he announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked everyone to go separately to prepare.
Speaking of conscience, Yu Chenglong praised General Political Commissar Qin's personality and ability. I just feel that he is too dogmatic and even a little pedantic in directing the decisions of his superiors. There are very few signs of tolerance like today, and hopefully he will learn from the lessons.
Yu Chenglong felt that he would have a chance to have an in-depth talk with Political Commissar Qin in the future. But at this critical juncture of life and death, he couldn't care about this, and hurriedly went to seriously discuss with Political Commissar Jin and them the plan to contain the devil, preparing to face more severe challenges.
Fifty men went to contain 3,000 ferocious Japanese devils and the Manchurian army, this plan was bold and risky. All the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Manchurian North Corps silently prayed for them! But Yu Jackie Chan is full of confidence, and he is determined not only to contain the devil, but also to drag him down!
