Chapter 16 The regular army flew high, and the Southern Route Army returned with a crushing defeat. Section I.
Command of the 56th Regiment of the 686th Army. Regiment Commander Xu Yaodong, together with Fu Gui, commander of the first battalion, Liang Desheng, commander of the second battalion, and Fang Dawei, commander of the third battalion, gathered around the combat sand table to discuss how to carry out the offensive on the two fronts in the southwest. Regiment commander Xu Yaodong took the baton, pointed to the small chess pieces of Tanliang Town on the sand table, and said to Fu Gui, the commander of the first battalion: "Do you see it?" This is the main destination of your 1st Battalion's attack, and after you succeed here, you will join the 2nd Battalion here. Xu Yaodong pointed to Leyuan's Longzhai Village, and Fu Gui quickly wrote it down in his notebook while looking at it.
"The offensive line of the Southern Front, from here to here, and here, and here, and here, and here, understand?" Xu Yaodong first pointed to the small flag of Longcheng, then to the small flag of Dadeng, then to Liangyou, Tanliang, and then to Longzhai Village, Fu Gui was still recording quickly. When he finished writing it at a fast speed, he immediately closed his notebook and replied loudly, "Understood!" Then, pointing to the small flag on the sand table, he said loudly: "The offensive route of the southern front, from Longcheng to Dadeng, then from Dadeng to Liangyou, and then from Liangyou to Tanliang, advance at full speed along the national highway, and after occupying Tanliang, join forces with the second battalion in Longzhai Village." Xu Yaodong nodded, and said to Liang Desheng, the commander of the second battalion: "Your second battalion, from here to here, from here to here, and then here, and then here, and then to join the first battalion, understand?" Liang Desheng, the commander of the second battalion, recorded quickly in his notebook. After memorizing, he closed the notebook and replied loudly, "Understood!" Then, pointing to the small flag on the sand table, he said loudly: "The offensive line of the Western Front, from Xicheng County to Longtou, and then from Longtou to the Southern Regiment, from the Southern Regiment to Putian." Then cross the gooseneck pass from Putian to Longzhai Village and join the first battalion. ”
"Good! You can say that again! The task of encircling and suppressing the 'Turkish Communist Party' this time was undertaken by the 686th Regiment of our regular army. What does this mean? This shows that those local tyrants can't handle it and want our regular army to go out; This shows that Commander Bai attaches great importance to and trusts our 686th Regiment. So......" Xu Yaodong walked up to the two of them and patted them on the shoulder, "You two want to give me a good performance and show your face for my 686 group, understand?" ”
"Understood! Tuanza. We will never disappoint your expectations of us, and we will fight hard to win glory for the 686 regiment! The two of them stood upright. Keep your chest high.
"Good! It's up to you. Go back and get ready, and I'll let you know when I'm coordinating with my allies. ”
"Yes!" After the two saluted. Turn and walk out of the room.
The location of the Security Corps. Guo Lian's office. Guo Lianzheng was thinking about who to send to lead the team to participate in this encirclement and suppression operation. This person must not only be able to fight, but also be familiar with the situation in the Tanliang area, and more importantly, know how to improvise. I think about it, but I can't think of anyone.
"Report!" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Guo Lian lay on the chair, his eyes fixed on the door.
The door opened, and a person came in, and Guo Lian saw that this person was none other than him. It was the leader of the special operations team of the Secret Bureau who said good things about Mo Tong last time, what was it called? Guo Lian couldn't think of it for a while.
"Ruan Shaoxiong, head of the Special Operations Team of the Secret Bureau, meets with Head Guo!"
"Ahh Nguyen Shao Hung. Team Leader Nguyen! Guo Lian finally remembered this in his mind, and was about to ask him what he was doing, when the phone on the table rang, Guo Lian had to sit up, leaned over and grabbed the telephone in his hand.
"Hey! That one? Yes! It's Stationmaster Xiao! Looking for contemptible people...... Good...... Yes, Team Leader Nguyen has come to my office...... Good! That's it. After speaking, Guo Lian hung up the phone.
At this time, why did Xiao Yazhi call Guo Lian, and what intentions were implied? Since the end of this encirclement and suppression operation meeting, Xiao Yazhi feels that how can she be absent from the Secrecy Bureau for such a big anti-bandit operation? How can you stay out of it? It's hard to imagine for her and the Secret Service. Didn't the Nanjing Traffic Police Corps of the Military Command participate in the combat operation this time? Why does it have nothing to do with the Longcheng Station of the Secret Bureau? There's a reason for that. In 1946, after the death of Dai Li, the head of the military command, the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government, that is, the military command, was changed to the Secret Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, and Mao Renfeng served as the director, and this Dai Li's period, the creation of the traffic police force, is not a traffic police on the road, but a relatively independent special operations force, specializing in the suppression of bandits and other combat tasks, especially for the encirclement and suppression of the Communist guerrillas, until later, the military command was abolished, the Secret Bureau was established, and the traffic police force also maintained a relatively independent system, and the Secret Bureau did not have much to do with it. It is not subject to the Secrecy Bureau. Although the traffic police corps is the establishment of a regiment, but the war has reached this day, how can there be so many people in this so-called Nanjing traffic police corps in Longcheng, at best, there are only more than 300 people. This operation only sent more than 100 people, led by a captain surnamed Meng. Xiao Yazhi knows very well that the 686th Regiment of the regular army and the Nanjing Traffic Police Corps are all arrogant and arrogant, and they look down on the local armed forces, and it is almost impossible for the Secrecy Bureau to intervene. Because, in this extraordinary period, in their eyes, there is only themselves, and the rest of the armed forces are nothing more than a rabble and wine bags and rice bags in their eyes. Therefore, Xiao Yazhi thought of the Longcheng District Security Corps, not only because the security regiment belongs to the local armed forces, but more importantly, in the process of encircling and suppressing the communist bandits, they have cooperated many times, and they still need and use each other. Xiao Yazhi not only did a lot of work before and after the formulation of the operation plan, but also did a lot of work on the issue of preventing intelligence leakage and cracking down on the underground party, and also sent a special operation group to participate in and monitor the entire operation at the beginning of the operation. This time, she specially sent Ruan Shaoxiong to the security regiment, wanting to use the platform of the security regiment to give full play to the role of the Secret Bureau.
Guo Lian stood up, greeted him, and said to Ruan Shaoxiong: "Team Leader Ruan, sit down!" Ruan Shaoxiong asked: "Our stationmaster Xiao wants me to ask you, who will the security team send to lead the team to participate in this operation?" ”
"It's you, Team Leader Ruan, who cares, right?"
"Of course! Of course I care, after all, I want to fight side by side with him! ”
"! I still can't make up my mind, I don't know who to send? Guo Lian has his own little abacus in his heart, what he thinks about is how to grab merit when the war is going well, how to preserve his strength when the war is not going well, and this person who leads the team must be brave. I have to be able to play tricks again, this person is hard to find! is hesitating and has nothing to do.
"Head Guo. I think there's one person that's a good fit. ”
"Who?"
"Mo Tong!"
"No, no, no! This kid lost all his good friends to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu just removed him as a company commander, this kid is quite brave in battle, but his brain is too rigid, no, no! Guo Lianzhi shook his head, but he knew in his heart that except for him. Who else can you turn to? A couple of other bastards, damn it, weaker than him!
"Head Guo. Naliangyou Town is far away from Nanliang County, and it is even farther away from Longcheng, and sooner or later it will have to fall into the hands of the guerrillas, this Mo battalion commander. No! This Mo Lian Commander. Although he lost his good friend, after all, he brought back dozens of people for you, and it can be regarded as preserving a little strength of the security regiment, which is better than being wiped out by the guerrillas. As for Company Commander Mo's combat ability, it has been proven after several anti-bandit operations, may I ask Regiment Commander Guo, who else in the security regiment can fight better than him? ”
"Team Leader Ruan, that's reasonable. Indeed, there is no one in our security regiment who can fight more than this Mo Tong. Yes! Let him lead the team, but, Brother Ruan, I see that all of you in the Secret Bureau are human elite figures, this Mo Tong's brain is not enough to live, you can help me watch a little, okay? ”
"No problem!" Ruan Shaoxiong got up and replied.
"Someone!" Guo Lian shouted to the door, and the guards came in, "Go!" Call Company Commander Mo to me. ”
"Yes!" The guards responded and went out to find Motong.
After a while, Mo Tong came to Guo Lian's office and was a little surprised to see Ruan Shaoxiong.
"Why is Team Leader Ruan here?"
"It's not that brothers don't get together!" Ruan Shaoxiong said with a smile.
"Mo Tong! Lao Tzu listened to the recommendation of Team Leader Ruan and decided to crack down on bandits this time, and you will lead a company in our security regiment to participate, you have to give Lao Tzu a long face! ”
"Yes!"
"However, when I say long face, I want you to learn to improvise, not to work hard."
Tuanzuo's words made Mo Tong puzzled, if you don't play with your life in a war, what kind of war will you fight? He looked at Ruan Shaoxiong suspiciously.
"What Regiment Commander Guo means is that the gang of people in the 686th Regiment are very horizontal, and they don't take our local armed forces into account at all, and if they want to fight, they must rush to the first place, and they don't need to charge the big head, and when the war is successful, we can take advantage of being more familiar with the local situation, seize the first credit, and when the war is unfavorable, preserve our strength and retreat." Ruan Shaoxiong said. Hearing him say this, Mo Tong also understood, it turned out that the long face that Tuanzao said was like this!
"Haha......" Guo Lian laughed, "Damn! I said, if the Lao Tzu Security Corps has a group of talents from your Secret Bureau, why can't they win the battle? Mo Tong! Learn a little more from Brother Ruan. ”
"Yes! Tuanza. ”
"That's it! What I want to say, Team Leader Ruan has finished helping Lao Tzu, you go down and get ready to go. Guo Lian waved his hand to them in satisfaction.
"Yes!" The two retired.
Leyuan Guerrilla Corps Headquarters Station. Mo Yun, Lin Yifan, Xie Weijie, Qin Gang and others sat around to discuss the deployment of the anti-encirclement and suppression operation. Mo Yun said: "According to the information provided by the underground party organization in Longcheng, the enemy's current encirclement and suppression campaign launched a pincer offensive against us from the southwest two fronts at the same time, with an unprecedented scale and a large number of troops, and two battalions of the 686th Regiment of the enemy's regular army taking the lead. When everyone heard that the situation was grim, their faces couldn't help but become serious, and it seemed that a vicious battle was about to begin, "However, don't worry too much, as long as we grasp it properly, there is no problem in winning this anti-encirclement and suppression victory." When the comrades heard the commander say this, they felt like they had taken a reassuring pill, and they held their breath and listened quietly to Mo Yun continue, "Comrade 'Lily' has made it very clear in the intelligence, you might as well take a look." After that, he took out a note from the folder on the table and handed it to Lin Yifan, Lin Yifan read it and handed it to Xie Weijie, and Xie Weijie handed it to Qin Gang after reading it. After reading the intelligence analysis of the operations on the two fronts in the southwest, everyone's hearts suddenly brightened, and we could not help but admire the underground party comrades for their conscientious and responsible work, meticulous and in place, and even the strategy of breaking the enemy for us to think of it.
"How? This 'lily' comrade is not simple. ”
"Isn't it simple to say, it is not an exaggeration to call our party's outstanding underground workers!"
"Yes! It is precisely because our party has a large number of comrades who have sacrificed their lives and died for the cause of the people's liberation, who have worked diligently and conscientiously to fight in the hearts of the enemy, that we have been able to win victory after victory! I propose to salute them! Mo Yun said affectionately.
Everyone stood up in unison, turned to the direction of Dragon City, and solemnly saluted.
Mo Yun beckoned everyone to come around, spread out the map on the table, pointed to the map, and said: "This is the direction of Tanliang, from Dadeng to Liangyou, Liangyou to Tanliang, Tanliang to Leyuan, it is the southern line of the enemy's attack, and it is also the direction of the enemy's main attack." The strategy of the Tanliang Brigade against the enemy is to lure the enemy deep, intercept layer by layer, and then concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy when the enemy becomes the end of the strong crossbow. ”
"I think the strength of the Tanliang Brigade is not enough to deal with so many enemies!" Xie Weijie couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Yes! The small strength of the Tanliang Brigade alone was not enough, but they had made full preparations, and one of the most important tasks was to mobilize the masses. They have been inspired by the process of emancipating their good friends that there is no battle that cannot be won only by closely relying on the masses and mobilizing the masses to plunge into the revolutionary struggle. To this end, they went deep into the villages and villages, did a great deal of propaganda and mobilization work, and at the same time strengthened the military training of the mass armed forces and militia organizations, and made sufficient preparations for military struggles. If this is done properly, I don't think it's a problem to defeat a seemingly formidable enemy. Lin Yifan waved his hand and said confidently.
"Lao Lin is right! According to the situation reported by the Tanliang Brigade at ordinary times and the information we have, their preparations have been done very well, and there is nothing to worry about, and when the enemy becomes the end of the crossbow, we will send a squadron to assist them, and if necessary, the 11th squadron of the reserve will also be used, so as not to worry that the enemy on the southern front will not be broken! Mo Yun said that everyone was full of confidence, as if victory was just around the corner.
"The problem of the southern front is solved, and the problem of the western front is much easier. As the saying goes: 'One man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open', as long as we deal with the enemy flexibly, delay the enemy, and hold the key passes one by one, don't look at the map, Xicheng County to my Leyuan, a short distance of only more than 30 kilometers, but these nine roads and eighteen lanes really have to be completed, to reach my Longzhai Village, the enemy's skin has also been taken off. Therefore, our specific plan is to use the third squadron to drag the enemy near the dragon's head for as long as it can, and then transfer the second squadron to attack and harass the enemy all the way, and set up an ambush at the gooseneck pass to block the enemy and start a decisive battle with the enemy. After assisting Tanliang in the direction of success, the 1st Squadron quickly returned to the division's gooseneck pass. In case it still doesn't work, the reinforcements from our reserve squadron 11th squadron or Tanliang are enough for the exhausted enemy to drink a pot. Let's see, how about this?
