Chapter 831 - Confidentiality must be observed
The head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters could not make decisions on his own, and they did not know what to do with Sun Weiguo's battle plan.
Mr. Zhu and Vice President Peng sent a telegram to Yan'an in the name of the chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and they wanted to ask Chairman Mao's opinion so as to make a judgment and deployment.
The head of the headquarters did not give Sun Weiguo an accurate answer, but the head of the headquarters asked Sun Weiguo to submit them a detailed battle plan.
After receiving such a reply from the head of the General Headquarters, Sun Weiguo was inevitably a little depressed, but he still immediately submitted the entire battle plan to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters through a telegram from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
After making these reports, all Sun Weiguo could do was wait, and he also knew that this matter was very important, and even the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters might not be able to make a decision.
At one o'clock in the afternoon of September 17, 1938, Sun Weiguo left the Jinchaji Military Region Headquarters with Political Commissar Shen Wei, and he returned to the division headquarters of the Honorary Second Division of Pingding County.
After returning to the division headquarters, Sun Weiguo immediately summoned Qin Xianliang, commander of the Honorary First Regiment, Xie Hui, chief of staff, Ge Haifeng, commander of the Honorary Fifth Regiment, Chen Yang, chief of staff, and Liang Weifeng, commander of the special service battalion directly under the division headquarters.
After the five officers received Sun Weiguo's summoning order, they immediately began to assemble in the division headquarters, and after Sun Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong talked, Sun Weiguo took them to the conference room, and at the same time, Wang Youhua led the guard squad to completely seal the conference room tightly, and no one was allowed to enter.
"At present, the head of the headquarters is still considering whether to agree with my battle plan, but the little devil troops have begun to mobilize, and the Japanese army has a division and brigade and a brigade unit has begun to assemble on the front line of Baoding, it seems that they are preparing to launch an attack on Fuping County and Laiyuan County, and the time is too late, we can't wait for the order of the headquarters. From now on, what I say can be recorded, but it must be kept secret, and those who violate the order will be subject to military law. ”
Sun Weiguo came to the conference room, he looked at Qin Xianliang and the others, Sun Weiguo's face was full of serious expressions.
After coming from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division in Pingding County, Sun Weiguo, political commissar Shen Wei, and chief of staff Zhao Lerong held a brief meeting.
At present, there is no deputy division commander in the honorary second division, so division commander Sun Weiguo, political commissar Shen Wei, and chief of staff Zhao Lerong naturally become the three giants of the division headquarters.
Sun Weiguo was in charge of training and commanding operations, Shen Wei was in charge of ideology and military quartermasters, and Zhao Lerong was in charge of drawing up combat plans and educating officers.
The division of labor among the three men was orderly, and the troops of the Honorable Second Division were condensed into combat effectiveness in a short period of time under their leadership.
It can also be said that the achievements of the Honorary Second Division today are not only due to Sun Weiguo alone, but also to Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong.
Of course, the greatest credit is given to all the officers and soldiers of the battle, without them, even if Sun Weiguo and the other three have great abilities, they will not be able to give full play.
"Yes, Commander." After hearing Sun Weiguo's order, Qin Xianliang and the others immediately stood up and replied.
Sun Weiguo pressed his hands downward, he motioned for Qin Xianliang and the others to sit down, and then Sun Weiguo began to give orders.
Sun Weiguo took Qin Xianliang's Honorary First Regiment, Ge Haifeng's Honorary Fifth Regiment, and Liang Weifeng's Mechanized Special Service Battalion as the vanguard troops, and Sun Weiguo asked the vanguard to set off immediately after dark, and the vanguard troops entered Jingcheng County in Hebei Province through Pingding County, and then went to Meng County through Jingcheng County, and marched north after entering Meng County, and entered Wutai County before 18 September.
At present, Wutai County is under the control of the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Sun Weiguo asked the vanguard troops to build fortifications as soon as they are stationed in Wutai County and wait for the order of the division headquarters.
This time, Sun Weiguo began to mobilize troops without receiving any orders, which violated the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army, and once the above was investigated, the consequences would be very serious.
But for Sun Weiguo, he didn't have any choice at this time, if he didn't go to Wutai County now, then even if the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army agreed to Sun Weiguo's battle plan, then it would be too late.
After returning to Pingding County, Sun Weiguo had already been reported through Wang Kunyao of the Intelligence Section, and the troops of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army and the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade began to assemble in Baoding.
According to Sun Weiguo's judgment, these Japanese troops must have assembled to launch an attack on Fuping County and Laiyuan County, so Sun Weiguo had to quickly dispatch troops to carry out operations.
The Japanese troops dispatched a large number of troops this time, and it was certainly not a problem for them to capture Fuping County and Laiyuan County, and it would be difficult for the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to contend with them.
Once Fuping County and Laiyuan County are lost, Wutai County will become the last pillar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and if even Wutai County is captured by the Japanese army, then the Japanese army's operational plan to destroy the core area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will be completed, and the Japanese troops will also bring a certain degree of losses to the Jin-Chahar-Hebei Military Region at that time.
Sun Weiguo must let a part of the troops be transferred to Wutai County immediately, and now the troops can take action to occupy a certain initiative.
But once the deployment of the Japanese army is completed, even if the Honorary Second Division is ordered to transfer by the headquarters, it will be too late.
"Commander, have you really thought it through?" Qin Xianliang, the head of the First Regiment of Honor, looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said worriedly.
Sun Weiguo mobilized troops without receiving an order this time, which violated the greatest military discipline of the Eighth Route Army, and once the headquarters investigated it, Sun Weiguo, the division commander, would not be able to keep his position.
"I've thought it through, I'll bear all the consequences alone, and you can just carry out the task. You must remember that you must rush to Wutai County before the 18th, otherwise once the Japanese react, they will definitely send troops to intercept you, and it is even very likely that they will besiege you. ”
Seeing Qin Xianliang's worried expression, Sun Weiguo said with a calm smile on his face.
Sun Weiguo had already made up his mind about this matter, even if the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was removed from his post after the war, Sun Weiguo also admitted it.
He knew that if he didn't make good use of this opportunity, it would be completely impossible to get such an opportunity again in the future.
"Division commander, we will definitely rush to Wutai County before the 18th." Qin Xianliang immediately stood up, and he saluted Sun Weiguo and said.
Ge Haifeng, the head of the Honorary Fifth Regiment, also stood up immediately, and he also made a statement.
Although they knew that Sun Weiguo had violated military discipline and issued a combat order, they still did not hesitate to carry it out.
Qin Xianliang and Ge Haifeng are both old subordinates who have followed Sun Weiguo for a long time, they know that Sun Weiguo has no selfish motives when he makes any deployment, Sun Weiguo thinks about how to eliminate more little devils, and how to protect the troops of the Eighth Route Army.
