Chapter 921: Crazy August

Step by step, Wang Liang has been planning for a long time.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Li Huan felt extremely uncomfortable, but he was helpless.

"Division Commander Li, your soldiers, take them well." Wang Liang continued the routine.

Li Huan smiled bitterly, at this time, if he objected to it, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism, "Commander Wang, I am no longer the commander of the 66th Division, I am not worthy of being the commander of this division, nor am I worthy of wearing this military uniform." They are good soldiers, so please take them with you. ”

With that, Li Huan took off his military uniform and strode away.

The back of the single shadow, reflecting the sunset, is really a bit bleak.

"Send the division commander!"

One of the officers shouted and fired a shot into the air, followed by the soldiers.

Li Huan is not a bad person, he is just a failed division commander.

He had tried to fight for some rights for the soldiers, but he had failed for various reasons.

Later, he began to become cowardly, incompetent, and numb, but he still retained a trace of the bottom line in his life and work, so he was respected by the soldiers.

Li Huan left, and Wang Liang naturally took over the remaining soldiers of the 66th Division.

"Brethren, I know that some of you really want to join the ranks of the New Fourth Army, and some of you go with the flow because of a moment of brain fever. I hope you can think carefully before making a decision, our New Fourth Army has strict military discipline and equality, here, you may be criticized for making a small mistake, here, cadres have to serve the soldiers, here, without superior living conditions, it is good to be able to eat and be able to eat...... Think about whether you should stay or not. Those who stay are welcome, and those who want to go home are welcomed. But there is one thing, you are absolutely not allowed to be a traitor in the future. Otherwise, I will not spare you! ”

Wang Liang climbed onto the oil drums erected by the soldiers and gave a speech emotionally.

If necessary, you still have to say it, and you have to make it clear, otherwise it will be too late to cry if something goes wrong in the future.

Of the 1,500 soldiers, there were less than 50 people who chose to lead the way, and most of them were captured and wanted to go home.

In this way, Wang Liang quietly annexed the 66th Division, claiming that the 66th Division was defeated by the Japanese army, and the original officers and soldiers were scattered and lost.

In this battle, the 7th Division captured 1,800 rifles, 86 boxes of grenades, 132 submachine guns, 37 light and heavy machine guns, 55 mortars, 678 shells, and more than 100,000 bullets.

Another 1,465 recruits joined the 7th Division.

For a time, the Seventh Division became a military force in the Jiangbei region that should not be underestimated.

After this battle, the Japanese army in the Jiangbei area was no longer able to launch a large-scale sweeping campaign in 1942, and the situation in the base area was very good.

At this time, Wang Liang received a telegram and immediately rushed to Yan'an to take up the task of defending the opening ceremony of the North China Japanese Soldiers' Anti-War Group Congress and the North China Japanese Anti-War Group Conference and the Anti-Fascist Friendship Games.

The amount of information is a bit large, so let's introduce them one by one.

The anti-war movement of the Japanese in China was a special struggle of the Japanese people against Japanese militarism that took place on Chinese soil.

A group of enlightened Japanese soldiers, residents, and Japanese prisoners of war, under the active leadership of China's ** people and Japanese revolutionary fighters, broke away from the Japanese army, established an anti-war organization, and resolutely joined the ranks of the Chinese people's anti-Japanese struggle, that is, joined the ranks of the world anti-fascist united front, turned their guns, and struck a blow at the Japanese fascists.

From August 15 to August 29, 1942, the North China Japanese Soldiers' Congress and the North China Japanese Anti-War Group Conference will be held in Yan'an for 14 days. The first five days were the Japanese soldiers' congress, and the last nine days were the anti-war group congress.

The meeting was attended by a number of anti-fascist countries, including India, North Korea, the Netherlands and India, the Soviet Union, and the Nationalist Government.

After the conference in August, there will be a friendly sports competition in September, in which each delegation will send a sports team to compete in individual sports (mainly military sports).

The main purpose is to enhance the friendship between the countries and relax in the midst of their busy schedules.

With so many representatives from so many countries attending the meeting, the defense work naturally became the most important task, and several leaders gathered together to discuss it, and finally decided that Wang Liang, who had just fought a beautiful battle, would carry it out.

The chairman said that Wang Liang, this kid has a hand in fighting, is bold and careful, and is a general.

So Wang Liang received such a telegram.

There is no way, Wang Liang naturally carried out the task assigned by his superiors. Simply packed up, handed over the troops to Sun Xiangyu, and took a few backbones to Yan'an.

Wang Liang, Ou Xiang, Shui Sheng, Harrier, Cao Jiawei, Wei Dayong, and Liu Rui set off in a group.

August 8, 1942.

The junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

With the support of comrades from northern Shaanxi, Wang Liang and his entourage were able to smoothly cross the Yellow River and enter Shaanxi.

Shaanxi is definitely a magical place, and the devils just can't attack it.

The Japanese army successively launched five divisions, three brigades, and 40,000 or 50,000 troops, three times that of our army, and with the cooperation of the air force and artillery.

However, until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army failed to occupy half an inch of Shaanxi.

Shaanxi, on the other hand, became the rear of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Why is that?

The reason lies in our mother river, the Yellow River.

The Yellow River from Fugu to the south to the gate of Hancheng Yu, is rushing in the canyon between Shaanxi and Shanxi, pouring thousands of miles, falling from the sky, the roar is shaking, and the force rushes ten thousand.

The danger of the spout of the pot is rare.

The Yellow River is at the gate of Yu, out of the canyon, stretching the width of dozens of miles, such as the sea and the tide, the quagmire, the swamp is spread around, the flow is unfathomable, from ancient times to the present, it is the taboo of the military crossing.

The aggressive Japanese army quickly advanced to the east bank of the Yellow River on the eastern border of Shaanxi, and had to stop its advance.

The Japanese army had adopted numerous tactical methods to attack Shaanxi, first using the air force to bomb our defenders indiscriminately, so that the Eighth Route Army was unable to fight back, and then using armed boats to force the crossing to occupy the ferry, and the follow-up troops quickly landed, and the automobiles and armored troops immediately drove in.

But it's all useless.

The Eighth Route Army built strong fortifications in the mountains, equipped with powerful firepower, and when the Japanese ships crossed to the middle of the river, they gave the enemy a head-on attack and fired mortars at the enemy troops on the opposite bank.

Not only that, the Eighth Route Army also crossed the Yellow River in a roundabout way, interspersed, and attacked the enemy from behind, so that the Japanese army could not care about crossing the river and suffered unspeakably.
