At present, the garrison of Meixian County is indeed empty, all the main forces of the military subdivision have gone out, and even the fortress garrison regiment of Gaochu has been dispatched, and now there are only more than 1,000 militiamen of the county brigade left in Meixian, but these militias cannot be compared with the regular army in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.

Once the Osaka Division was really desperate, bypassing Pu County, and driving straight to Shaqiaogang, the situation was really troublesome.

"The garrison of Meixian County is indeed empty." Wang Husheng nodded, and said, "Otherwise, transfer the garrison regiment back." ”

"No, the troops on this side of Qingniuling are already very tight, and if the garrison is withdrawn at this time, then this battle will be very difficult." Xu Rui scratched his head and asked Wang Husheng, "Old Wang, why don't you send a telegram to the head of the military department to see if you can borrow a regiment from the Soviet-Chinese Military Region?" A regiment is not enough, but a battalion is also okay. ”

Due to the emergence of Xu Rui, the history of the New Fourth Army's War of Resistance has changed.

At this time in history, the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army were still active in southern Jiangsu, but in this time and space, due to the appearance of Xu Rui, a traverser, it led to a series of butterfly effects.

The first and second detachments have now created the Southern Jiangsu and Central Soviet Military Regions.

At this time, the numbers of the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army had been diluted and replaced by such divisions as the Southern Jiangsu Military Region, the Central Soviet Military Region, and the Southern Anhui Military Region.

The Dameishan Military Sub-district founded by Xu Rui is one level lower than the Central and Southern Anhui Military Region, but it is not subordinate to the Central and Southern Anhui Military Region under the leadership of Gao Hanting, but is under the direct leadership of the Military Headquarters of the New Fourth Army, which is a special case.

Gao Hanting's troops were hit hard by Okabe Naosaburo some time ago, and now they are resting in the Lujiang and Wuwei areas, and it is impossible to go north to help in a short time, so Xu Rui thought of borrowing troops from the Soviet-Chinese Military Region.

"Borrowing troops from the Soviet-Chinese Military District? I'm afraid not. Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "Old Xu, you may not know that the current pressure on the Soviet-Chinese Military Region is by no means smaller than that of our Dameishan Military Sub-district, and even more so, and the Soviet-Chinese Military Region is now not only facing the all-out sweep of the Japanese puppet army, but also facing Han Deqin's arrogant provocation, which is also very tight!" ”

"But after all, the Soviet-Chinese Military Region does not have an area that must be defended, and there is more room for maneuver than ours." Xu Rui said, "And as far as I know, the Soviet-Chinese Military Region led by the two commanders Zhang and Li has more than 20,000 troops, almost ten regiments, so it can't even be drawn out of a regiment, right?" ”

Wang Husheng said: "I can only try, but I don't dare to pack tickets." ”

"You have to borrow soldiers." Xu Rui said hesitantly, "I know that you can do it, Lao Wang." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui turned around and walked away, not giving Wang Husheng a chance to talk more at all.

"This guy." Wang Husheng could only smile bitterly and shake his head, and then went to send a telegram to the head of the military department.

(Dividing Line)

Wang Husheng's telegram asking for help was soon sent to the military headquarters, which then the head of the military department forwarded it to the Soviet-Chinese Military Region.

When the telegram from the head of the military department came, Commander Zhang of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region was convening a meeting of the commanders of more than a dozen regiments of the military region to discuss how to deal with the provocation of the Han Deqin group.

Speaking of this, we must first talk about the current situation in Jiangsu.

In less than a month, Nanjing, southern Jiangsu, and central Jiangsu fell one after another, and what is even more absurd is that the Nationalist Army also gave up in the central Soviet region, which was temporarily beyond the reach of the Japanese army, so there was a large number of vacuums.

The Nationalist Army had withdrawn, but the Japanese army had not yet arrived, and as a result, the Huidaomen Organization took the opportunity to rise up and took over these counties, forming de facto independent kingdoms, these large and small independent kingdoms either took refuge in the devils or were loyal to the national government, they were nominally local governments, but in fact they were independent kingdoms.

Under normal circumstances, neither the government nor small Japan would allow such a situation to exist.

However, after the loss of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan broke out one after another, and the Nationalist Army and the Japanese army fought in the Xuzhou Battlefield and the Wuhan Battlefield for many years, and they did not care about cleaning up these large and small independent kingdoms, as a result, the New Fourth Army made a move, and the Second Detachment of the New Fourth Army crossed the river to the north at this time, suppressed a large number of Huidaomen armed forces, and created the Soviet-Chinese Military Region that surrounded Gaoyou Lake covering more than ten counties such as Tianchang, Gaoyou, and Baoying, and the troops also developed to nearly 20,000 people!

When the Battle of Wuhan ended, Little Japan and Chairman Chiang looked back, ho, almost all the entire central Anhui and Soviet regions had become the territory of the Communist Party. It was necessary to suppress the limelight of the Communist Party, so Chairman Chiang acquiesced to the Soviet People's Army and the Chinese People's Army taking the initiative to stir up friction and seize territory.

Jiangsu's Nationalist Army had reached a tacit understanding with the Japanese army, and began to exert pressure on the Soviet-Chinese Military Region of the New Fourth Army from the north and south, and among them, Han Deqin's 89th Army was the most diligent, because the attention of the Japanese puppet army was now basically concentrated in the Dameishan Military Division, and there were not too many troops to sweep away the Soviet-Chinese Military Region.

In order to meet Han Deqin's 89th Army, the Soviet-Chinese Military Region specially convened this meeting.

In the conference room, Commander Zhang of the Military Region was conveying the instructions of the Yan'an Party Central Committee: "Chairman Mao instructed that we must resolutely fight back against the military provocations of the Kuomintang diehards and never tolerate them, so we must not only fight Han Deqin, but also make him feel pain, and dare not provoke him again in the future." ”

Deputy Commander Li added: "Everyone should not have any doubts, let alone be afraid of a break in the united front, because it is the Kuomintang diehards who take the initiative to provoke friction, and if the united front really breaks up, it should be the Kuomintang that will bear the consequences, and it will never be our Communist Party. ”

Commander Zhang finally said: "Okay, the instructions of the Party Central Committee have been conveyed, and Deputy Commander Li has already explained to you about the battle plan. Seeing that no one spoke, Commander Zhang said again, "Okay, then the meeting will be dismissed and everyone will go back to prepare." ”

More than a dozen regiment commanders turned around and left, but Chief of Staff Luo of the Military Region walked in.

Commander Zhang said: "Xiao Luo, aren't you going to Tianchang County to inspect the work of the masses? ”

Chief of Staff Luo said: "Yes, but I temporarily received a telegram from the head of the military department, and I came back again. ”

While speaking, Chief of Staff Luo handed a telegram to Commander Zhang, and Deputy Commander Li next to him also came over and read the contents of the telegram next to him.

"Borrowed soldiers?" Commander Zhang frowned and said, "Borrow troops from us at this time?" ”

At present, the Soviet-Chinese Military Region is also very tight on troops, and it is true that not too many troops can be deployed.

Commander Zhang put down the telegram and asked Deputy Commander Li, "What do you say?" ”

"The pressure on the Dameishan Military Division this time is indeed very great." Deputy Commander Li said, "Although they just annihilated the Iida detachment in Huangnipu two days ago, the Kumamoto Division and the Osaka Division are still complete, these are two main divisions, adding up to more than 50,000 devils, and there is also a whole tank wing. ”

Although Deputy Commander Li did not say it explicitly, the implication of his words was already obvious.

Chief of Staff Luo also said: "I also agree with the deputy commander's opinion, the industry in the Dameishan sub-district has already begun to take shape, and the pharmaceutical factory and coal chemical plant have already been built, and once these two factories are completed and put into operation, the contribution to the war of resistance of our entire New Fourth Army will be immeasurable. ”

The Dameishan Military Sub-district is now connected with the Soviet-Chinese Military Region, so Commander Zhang and several of them are very familiar with the situation of the Dameishan Military Sub-district, and Chief of Staff Luo even led the cadres of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region to visit Dameishan not long ago, and he was deeply impressed by the industrial zone hidden deep in Dameishan.

Commander Zhang said: "Since both of you agree, then let's lend him troops, anyway, when our second detachment first arrived in southern Jiangsu, we also received the favor of Xu Rui, the little guy, if it weren't for the batch of ordnance he provided, our second detachment probably wouldn't have been so smooth, let alone today's situation." ”

After a slight pause, Commander Zhang said again: "However, is the strength of a regiment enough?" ”

In terms of military affairs, Deputy Commander Li is an expert, and both Commander Zhang and Chief of Staff Luo have set their sights on Deputy Commander Li.

Deputy Commander Li said: "Some time ago, I took the time to study the situation in Dameishan, and the key target chosen by Commander Xu should be the Kumamoto Division, as long as the Kumamoto Division is defeated, the Japanese army's sweep of the Dameishan Military Division will also collapse, in order to defeat the Kumamoto Division, the main forces of the Dameishan Military Division have been assembled on the Western Front, which has led to the emptiness of Meixian, and it has to borrow troops from our military region, so it ......."

After a pause, Deputy Commander Li continued: "If it is only to assist in the defense of Meixian, one regiment is enough, but if we want to cooperate with the main force of the Dameishan Military Division and participate in the operation against the Kumamoto Division, then the more the merrier, even if we transfer all the dozen regiments of the entire Soviet-Chinese Military Region, Commander Xu is afraid that it will not be too much." ”

"That's what I said." Commander Zhang said angrily, "More than a dozen main regiments in the whole military region have been transferred over, so do you still want our Soviet-Chinese Military Region?" Couldn't it be given to Han Deqin in vain? Really. ”

After thinking about it, Commander Zhang turned back to Chief of Staff Luo and said: "Chief of Staff Luo, I think so, you will lead the special service regiment of the Military Region to Meixian, and we can't help with the attack on the Kumamoto Division, but it is okay to help friendly troops defend Meixian, and also, after the troops arrive in Meixian, they must obey the arrangements of the Dameishan Military Division." ”

"Okay." Chief of Staff Luo said, "I'll set off now." (To be continued.) )
