Chapter 200 Tens of thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers and righteous soldiers were dispatched according to orders
The team blocking the Japanese 11th Army in the third theater was a ragtag army, and Xiao Yifei secretly shook his head when he listened to their briefing.
The three divisions of this army are smaller than those of ordinary armies, and their weapons are even more backward, and they do not even have heavy mortars. The tactics adopted by the army in the face of the Japanese 11th Army offensive were to get out of the way, harass and flank. Fortunately, the Japanese army was inconvenient to march because of the barrier between Poyang Lake and the big river, perhaps because they were worried that the national army would adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, and did not dare to advance quickly, but gathered together and marched step by step.
It seems that the Japanese army has learned the lesson near Changsha and is worried that it will be in trouble due to the disconnection of the logistics support line in the area south of Nanchang. This is called being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of grass ropes for ten years.
It has been so many days since the Japanese 11th Army was dispatched, and the team is still staying near Jinxian County. One division of the miscellaneous army of the national army is on the north side of Fuzhou, and two divisions are in Dongxiang.
Since the Japanese army has crossed the Fuhe River, if the logistics support is in place, it will take at most one day to attack the Xinjiang River. The two divisions of the Nationalist Army in Dongxiang will never dare to block head-on in the face of the Japanese attack, and will definitely get out of the way.
Xiao Yifei was very calm, but Boss Dai was angry.
Boss Dai looked at the military commander and whispered, "What did Commander Gu ask for?" According to your style of play, Yingtan will soon be lost, and the main force's resistance on the Eastern Front will lose all meaning. ”
The army commander sighed and said, "Boss Dai, we also want to stop the enemy with all our strength according to Commander Gu's deployment!" But we were fighting with the Japanese army, which had planes on top and tanks and heavy artillery on the bottom, with burning sticks. If we forcibly hold back the enemy head-on, we can't report back to you here right now. ”
Boss Dai's eyes were prominent, and he said sharply: "The military commander has the responsibility of supervising the generals, and if your department does not resolutely block it, I will report to Chongqing and shoot you on the spot." Liao Lingqi of the 58th Division of the 74th Army fought so bravely, because the newlywed failed to arrive at the battlefield in time, the principal shot him to death, if you don't strictly follow the deployment of the war zone to do a good job of the anti-war and shoot you, without the principal's order, Commander Gu can enforce battlefield discipline on you. ”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the army commander's forehead instantly, and the three division commanders all lowered their heads.
Xiao Yifei sighed lightly and said: "After analyzing various intelligence, the plan of the Japanese army's operation has changed many times, and the final decision to open the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line is also the idea of the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata and the commander of the 13th Army, Shigeru Sawada, and it is the decision of the head of the ass commander. The task of the 11th Army was to respond, and the main attack was the 13th Army, and the 11th Army did not make up its mind to strictly implement the orders of the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, so that the 11th Army would not move forward. However, the 11th Army had crossed the Fuhe River, and although it was blocked by the Poyang Lake wetland on the north side, it was unobstructed on the south side. If your troops do not rely on the mountain on the west side of Dongxiang to build fortifications to block the attack, the Japanese army will soon pass through Dongxiang, leave you behind, and attack Yingtan directly. If Yingtan is lost, I think all of you will be court-martialed. The strength of everyone is very clear in their hearts, don't say that your army is not as good as the Japanese army, even the 74th Army is not as good as the Japanese army, during the battle of Shanggao, the deputy commander of the 58th Division of the 74th Army, and now Zhang Lingfu, who is already the division commander, personally went to the battlefield with a gun, led the team to a bloody battle, and when he crossed a trench, he was injured by the little devil hiding in the trench, and now the leg is lame. Commander Wang Yaowu almost took the death squad to the battlefield once, and I took him to take the death squad to defend Changsha City. Take Boss Dai as an example, he once led a small team out of the East Ganqu at night to attack the Japanese army, encountered the Japanese army's encirclement, and fought desperately to get out of the encirclement. Generals, we are all bloody soldiers, and I am not qualified to give you orders, but I can remind you that victory belongs only to the brave. In order to defend the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, Boss Dai and I came in person, we will not ignore your life and death, and make unreasonable demands on you, we will fight with you and resolutely beat the Japanese army back to the west of the Fuhe River. ”
The eyes of the three division commanders and army commanders lit up, Xiao Yifei's name was like thunder, Xiao Yifei sat there, it was equivalent to the Dinghai Divine Needle, Xiao Yifei said that he would fight with them, they immediately felt like they had been beaten, and their spirits instantly rose.
The army commander nodded again and again and said, "Okay, I will immediately order the team to go to the west side of Dongxiang, to build fortifications on both sides of the railway line according to your instructions, and resolutely resist." ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Very good, but I suggest that the fortifications must have depth, and only one is easy to be broken by the Japanese army, and three must be built." As soon as the Baita River breaks, Yingtan will be directly exposed to the Japanese attack, so your unit must be prepared for a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Baita River. ”
The commander whispered: "In case the Japanese army comes by boat along the Xinjiang River, our rear road will be cut off." ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "Xinjiang has its own troops to hold it, and your department doesn't need to consider the Japanese army in the direction of Xinjiang." ”
The commander nodded and said, "Okay!" Since you have an arrangement, then we will give it a go with the Japanese army. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Very good! With this attitude, we have any hope of victory, and our troops will launch an attack on the Japanese army further west of your department. In the direction of Xinjiang, I will let the local armed forces and the New Fourth Army hold it. I hope that we can cooperate happily and succeed in forcing the Japanese army back to Nanchang. ”
After the meeting, Xiao Yifei and Boss Dai met with Chen Yugeng together.
Xiao Yifei personally made a cup of tea for Chen Yugeng, looked at Chen Yuliang Genglang and said with a smile: "The leader of the Jiangnan Qinghong Gang came to the front line in person, Xiao Yifei admired. ”
Chen Yugeng laughed and said: "Seeing you young people killing enemies on the battlefield, I will be enthusiastic when I think about it at home, I don't need to say anything, my 5,000 men and horses will arrive in half a day, I came first, my big apprentices Kuaishou and the Mountain Tiger are also here, and our food and accommodation expenses are solved by the Qinghong Gang." Assign tasks to you! I declare that I will do everything you want. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Very good!" You are too polite, we can't talk about orders or not, everything is discussed. On the east side of Poyang Lake, the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army will send a team to monitor, and if a large force of Japanese troops comes to Jingdezhen, we will all have to block it in that direction. You send a team of men and horses to monitor the Xinjiang River, and never let the Japanese army kill along the Xinjiang River. ”
Chen Yugeng nodded and said, "Okay!" I promise not to let the Japanese army come over from Xinjiang, and even if all the 5,000 righteous soldiers are exhausted and I die in battle, I will not let them come. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "The purpose of our coming is not to die, but to let the Japanese devils die, once the Japanese army is found on the Xinjiang River, you must immediately report to Boss Dai, and Boss Dai will notify me again." If the Japanese were on the ship, the dozens of guerrillas I brought with me would have been able to wipe them all out. If we come along the river, we will find a way to mobilize troops to block it. Your task is not to fight a war, but to provide logistical support and intelligence gathering to grasp the movements of the Japanese army. ”
Chen Yugeng frowned and said, "The purpose of my visit is to kill devils, how can you let me hide behind?" ”
Xiao Yifei said with a smile: "There are opportunities to kill devils, intelligence and logistics support work is extremely important, if we can do a good job, we can better kill devils." Besides, we also have to have reserves, and we can't just fight them all out as soon as we come up. When you need it most, I will naturally let you take the righteous into battle to kill the enemy. ”
Boss Dai hugged his fist at Chen Yuliang and said with a smile: "Military commander Dai has seen Old Man Chen. ”
Chen Yugeng also hugged his fist at Boss Dai.
Boss Dai smiled and said, "I'm also in the rear, and General Xiao won't let me personally lead the troops to kill the enemy." We are in Yingtan, how about waiting for General Xiao's dispatch? ”
Chen Yugeng nodded and said, "Okay!" I obey the little brother's arrangement. ”
After Chen Yugeng left, Dong Ying came in and handed the telegram to Xiao Yifei, and after Xiao Yifei read the telegram, he handed it to the boss.
Xiao Yifei said with a smile: "Very good, Commander Li's men and horses have arrived in the mountainous area on the west side of Dongping, and informed them to leave a part of the team to move on that side, and monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and the main force will further cross the Le'an River to the south and reach the area of the Dongda River, a tributary of the Xinjiang River, to closely monitor the movement of the Japanese army in the direction of the Xinjiang River." ”
After Dong Ying left, Xiao Yifei looked at Boss Dai and said with a smile: "There is Commander Li's team on the north side, you can always rest assured now, right?" ”
Boss Dai nodded and said, "I know that you are confident and never fight unprepared battles." Commander Li's troops are guarding the northern front, and I am absolutely relieved. There are many rivers and mountains on that side, which is not convenient for the activities of large troops, and even if the Japanese army wants to come from that line, it can only be a small force, not more than one brigade. ”
Xiao Yifei said: "I will immediately take my people to the direction of Jinxian, first give the Japanese army a dismount, and let the Japanese army think twice." ”
Boss Dai nodded and said, "Brother, along the way, you must pay attention to safety." ”
Xiao Yifei Lang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I fought the Japanese army, and the Japanese army didn't know where I fought." We're in constant telegraph contact with each other, and if you need to send ammunition and supplies, you'll have to arrange it! ”
Boss Dai nodded and said, "I promise you that it will be delivered as you request." ”
