On the wine table, the chips were staggered, Han Xin and Cheng Tiger were drinking, Han Xin raised the wine glass and said, "Brother Cheng, I respect you!" โ
"Haha, okay, it's done!"
The wine glasses of the two collided together, Han Xin put down the wine glass, although the amount of wine was good, but as soon as he drank the wine, his face was already flushed, and he muttered: "Brother Cheng, to be honest, give me the new group, don't you regret it?" โ
Cheng Laohu was stunned at first, then looked at Han Xin's face, thinking that he was drunk, smiled and waved his hand: "Brother is drunk, come, eat some food!" โ
"No, Brother Cheng, I'm not drunk, I want to know your answer!"
Seeing that although Han Xin's face was red, his eyes were still clear, Cheng Laohu nodded, put down his chopsticks, and said: "Brother, to be honest, at the beginning, I was a little unhappy, I am a good new group, good brothers, why should I listen to you, what kind of onion are you?" โ
As soon as he spoke, Cheng Laohu poured himself another glass, drank it in one gulp, and continued: "But now I know, my choice is not wrong, I see the changes in the brothers, and now they don't even notice themselves, they are no longer the same as before."
One by one, they all exuded vigor, and their eyes revealed hope and pride, which was completely different from the trembling and guilt and self-blame when I was a bandit under my hands.
Why, because they know that they will fight for their homeland, for the tens of millions of compatriots behind them, for future generations, they are all good! โ
Han Xin looked at Cheng Laohu silently, watched him say what was in his heart sincerely, saw that his wine glass was empty, and after pouring it full, he raised it and said, "Brother Cheng, I still have to respect you for this cup!" โ
"Good!" Cheng Laohu drank it all again, and then laughed and said: "Brother, since you have drunk wine, if you have anything in your heart, say it happily, don't be bored in your heart, don't be happy!" โ
"Brother Cheng, I'm going to leave tomorrow, brothers, I'm going to the battlefield!"
"Isn't this nonsense! This is not the day you are waiting for! Cheng Huhu waved his hand unconcernedly.
Han Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Cheng, I won't hide it from you, the Japanese army is well-equipped and has extremely high tactical literacy, but on the other hand, our army is ...... On the battlefield, it is definitely much more terrifying than you think, and that is a living meat grinder.
It can be said that no one dares to say that comrades, including me, will survive this rush to the battlefield. โ
Cheng Laohu was silent, he knew where Han Xin's worries were, although the soldiers of these new regiments had been training for several months and had been fruitful, but in the past, they were all petty fights, and they had never experienced the cruelty of the battlefield at all.
Pulling up to fight with the Japanese army at such a moment's notice, everything is unknown, Han Xin really treats these soldiers of the Black Tiger Village as brothers, so he will say this.
The atmosphere was a little oppressive for a while.
Han Xin and Cheng Lao Hu each drank with their heads bored, and after a while, Cheng Lao looked up suddenly, looked at Han Xin in a daze, and suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled: "But, isn't there still you!" I believe that the battle under your command is far less tragic than we imagined! โ
Han Xin was stunned, and then he was grateful for being trusted by others, yes, with me, even if I am Japanese, what is there to be afraid of, it seems that it is still the soul of the future generations, so that I am too preconceived to fear the Japanese.
Little Japan, fuck you!
Thinking about this stubble, Han Xin suddenly relaxed, and drank with Cheng Laohu again.
โฆโฆ
Time flies.
The new regiment followed the main force in early August, and the whole regiment was mobilized, and by mid-September, it finally arrived at the front line of the Anti-Japanese War - the area around Pingxingguan, where fighting had already broken out.
Pingxingguan is the warning position of Yanmen Pass, the dividing line of Hengshan Mountain and Wutai Mountain, and guards the highway of Wei County and Dai County.
On September 23, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Sakagaki Division attacked Pingxingguan and Tuanchengkou from Lingqiu and Hunyuan, but were frantically resisted by the 33rd Army and the 17th Army of the National Army.
On the 24th, other units of the Nationalist Army rushed to reinforce under the orders of Yan Xishan and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army.
On the 25th, Lin Biao led the 115th Division and Han Xin's new regiment, and finally arrived at the battlefield.
In the afternoon of the same day, the divisional headquarters operations conference room:
Lin Biao took the lead in standing up, still with his previous restrained character, and said to the point: "This Taiyuan battle, the battle of Pingxingguan is very important, and now the national army has exchanged fire with little Japan, but the two sides have shown a stalemate situation."
Therefore, at this time, rescue and subsidy supplies are very important, and after my observation these days, it is very likely that the Japanese convoy will pass through Lingqiu. โ
"Commander, you mean we set up an ambush in this Spirit Hill!" A cadre road.
"Not bad!" Lin Biao nodded, and Nie Rongzhen, the deputy division commander on the side, continued: "Well, this method is feasible, and there is more than one Japanese transport team, from the geographical point of view, it is very possible to pass through Lingqiu and Caijiayu, I suggest that an ambush should also be set up between Caijiayu and Xiaozhai Village, and the Japanese army fighting in the rear must not get any supplies." โ
Lin Biao nodded, and agreed with Nie Rongzhen's opinion, and then insisted: "But I think it's more likely that the transport team will pass through Lingqiu, and they will even send baggage troops to escort them all the way, and I am ready to personally lead the three main regiments to ambush here, what do you think?" โ
"The main force of the division headquarters is limited, and it also supports part of the 17th Army, if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be no main force available in Caijiayu." A cadre asked.
The scene was silent for a long time, and finally Lin Biao made a final decision: "In this way, the scale of this Caijiayu transport team will not be too large, since there is no main force, it is better to send two regiments." โ
"No, it should be three regiments, and there is a new regiment you forgot? I'll lead the team myself. Nie Rongzhen stood up with a smile, Lin Biao's face darkened, this new mess, not to mention it, is okay, and it will be angry when it is mentioned.
But he didn't say much because of his calm and introverted personality, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, since everyone has no opinions, then it's decided, comrades, in the first battle with the Japanese army, we must fight beautifully and play the majesty of our Eighth Route Army." โ
"Yes!"
โฆโฆ
The new regiment, the order has been issued, Han Xin was a little surprised, it was actually General Nie Rongzhen who led the team, not Lin Biao, more or less, Han Xin felt less awkward.
In the final analysis, he still has a lot of criticism for Lin Biao with the memory of later generations, although he also knows that Lin Biao in this period is just a pure hot-blooded soldier.
Letting go of the thoughts in his heart, Han Xin immediately summoned the whole regiment to a pre-war mobilization meeting.
"Comrades, the sword has been sharpened for so long, it's time for us to show the sword, how about it, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers shouted in unison, with the cadres above the company level of the new regiment at the front, and the platoon commanders at the back standing in a row.
Han Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing!" But as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, I would like to ask, how much do you know about your enemies, that is, the Japanese? โ
"This ......"
Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, big eyes and small eyes, completely out of mind, this has not seen the Japanese yet! What can be understood.
Han Xin had already expected it, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will tell you about the characteristics of the Japanese army, as well as the establishment of the Japanese army." โ
After Han Xin finished speaking, the memory of the Japanese army's military establishment in the history of resistance against Japan in later generations quickly poured into his mind.
(To be continued)
Addendum: We often say that it is the "anti-Japanese" war and the "anti-Japanese" national united front, because after the war between China and Japan began in 1937, Britain and the United States and other countries did not pay much attention to it.
At that time, according to the agreement of the Axis powers, once China declared war on Japan, it meant that China declared war on Italy, Japan, and Germany at the same time, and such pressure could not be stopped.
Therefore, if you can't declare war, you still have to fight, and it becomes a "war of resistance", if you fight me, you will resist, and if you don't fight, I will not resist.
