Chapter XXVII: Meetings (2)
The Independence Brigade is already showing signs of splitting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The root cause is not on him and Zhang Cheng, but on the top, and the above actually moved this kind of mind at this time, how can this not be chilling?
"We have convened this meeting today to discuss our next tasks." Zhang Cheng directly brought the topic back, and he must not deviate from the direction of the meeting.
Some things are not as simple as one-size-fits-all, not to mention, the cooperation between him and Gao Zhisong has always been close, there is no suspicion, and he also regards Gao Zhisong as a trustworthy big brother.
"The first thing is the reorganization of our brigade, Chief of Staff Gao Zhisong is in charge, and Regiment Commander Liu Zhongming assists in the work." "The second thing is that a lot of people have died, and there are a lot of new recruits who have been added, so we have to count the people who have died so that we can pay out the bereavement benefits." Zhang Chengdao.
"Yes, we'll do it as soon as we get back."
"The third thing is to cover the safe transfer of more than 100,000 people who have escaped from Nanjing to the rear, which is the top priority of our current work."
"So many people are transferred at once, and there are also sufferings, so we will carry out it in batches and times, and the temporary management committee will also participate in this matter, docking with our work, and the escort task is mainly completed by a supplementary group."
"Yes!"
"Plus, there's an appointment here."
"Zhao Feixiong!"
"Here!"
"You are hereby appointed as the commander of the supplementary regiment of the independent brigade, which was originally supplemented by four regiments, reduced to two regiments, and its capable personnel are assigned to other regiments."
"Yes!" Zhao Feixiong excitedly accepted the letter of appointment, of course, this letter of appointment was signed by Zhang Cheng privately engraved the radish seal, and he waited for Shangfeng to recognize the procedure.
"Commander Zhao, the next task for you and the supplementary regiment is to maintain law and order along the Yangtze River, as well as to protect the safety of the hundreds of thousands of people who escaped from Nanjing here. Of course, there is also the distribution of people's daily necessities in cooperation with the temporary management committee. Zhang Cheng announced.
"Humble and understandable, please rest assured Deputy Commander Leng!" Zhao Feixiong was disewt, and his dark face was flushed with excitement.
"Sit down."
"Yes!"
"We evacuated a lot of the wounded in Nanjing. Now that we can't return to the original army, many brothers are wounded and participate in the battle, at this moment, we should have found a place to rest and replenish, but. The Japanese are now eager to get rid of us and then hurry up, so we can't rest now, we have to let the Japanese dispel this idea so that we can have a good rest, how can we make the Japanese dispel this idea, it's very simple, it hurts them, and it is enough to beat us not to have this thought. Zhang Chengdao.
"So, we have to do it with Ben!"
"Lao Zhao, don't be rude. Didn't we come out to play a small book? ”
"That's what I said, since Ben doesn't let us live in peace, then let's not let them live in peace!"
"Yes, as long as it's a small book, no matter how hard or tired we are, we are not afraid."
Of course, Zhang Cheng wanted to fight this battle and eliminate the 13th Division, and the independent brigade could also get a rare opportunity to rest and recuperate, whether it was in the theater or withdrawing to the rear, it was much smoother.
Not to mention, there are still more than 100,000 people in tow, and it will take at least a month for these people to be safely moved to the rear.
The Japanese will not give him a month.
Once the waterway is opened, the army will inevitably cross the river directly, and when the time comes, it will be the enemy on its back, which is by no means what it wants to see.
This battle must not only be fought, but also fought quickly, and must be resolved quickly, and the army must never be given a chance to increase its troops.
"Regarding the demobilization and resettlement of disabled servicemen of the Independent Brigade, although the government has certain arrangements for the demobilization and resettlement of disabled soldiers, the government's arrangement is nothing more than to give you a settling-in allowance, and then, and then there is no more, this is not to say that the government is untrustworthy and unjust, in fact, speaking of which. There's no way around it. Our country is poor and weak. We have to fight wars and develop the economy, and the money above is often not enough, and we have to find someone to borrow money, so we have to find our own way, since everyone joins the independent brigade, it is our own brothers. Brothers work together, and their profits are broken, and I think they can always think of a way. Zhang Chengdao, "Chief of Staff, what do you say?" ”
"Zhang Cheng, you think very far-reachingly, I'm ashamed to be the chief of staff."
"As for me, this is a precautionary measure, and I plan to become a war service regiment, mainly to house demobilized soldiers who we have nowhere to go. There are also some industries to be engaged in as a guarantee for everyone's future life. Zhang Chengdao.
"War Service Corps?"
"This war service corps has two main functions. The first is to provide the brigade with all kinds of logistical support materials, including procurement and transportation, and the second is to operate the brigade's industries, such as sheltering disabled soldiers, operating invalids' farms, brigade children's schools, factories, and so on. Zhang Cheng explained.
"So good?" "This treatment is not even the Central Military lineage?" Will people be jealous of doing this, can the above agree? "Isn't this about self-reliance?"
"Zhang Cheng, is this step a little too fast?" Gao Zhisong also felt that Zhang Cheng's pace was too fast, and if he continued like this, he would have to fall on his heels sooner or later, and there would never be any more local 'warlord' forces above.
Zhang Cheng did this, did he want to build his own small force gang?
This is the most taboo thing for the one above. Can he agree to do that? Zhang Cheng also noticed the look of opposition in Gao Zhisong's eyes, this is a good thing, why should he oppose it, is it because he is afraid of opposition from the top?
Lao Jiang, yes, I can't get around that person in whatever I do now, now my wings have grown, but my wings are not yet full, this matter is not suitable to be talked about publicly, and I can only do it secretly first.
"Well, I just have such an idea, it can be regarded as a brick thrower, if you think it is feasible, we will directly give Shangfeng a suggestion, we will pilot it, if Shangfeng does not agree, feel that it is not feasible, then do not implement it for the time being." Zhang Cheng turned his head and took the words back.
This can be regarded as a temptation, Zhang Cheng was silent in his heart, he was a little too hasty, so he should do it first, and then talk about it later, and wait for his wings. It's full, even if Lao Jiang knows, he can only acquiesce.
Even if this matter was in the past, Zhang Cheng did not continue to ask, and the meeting continued, mainly turning to the military aspect, and Liu Zhongming introduced the situation of the Japanese army in Jiangbei.
"It is not an easy task for the army to land from the north shore, but the heavy artillery on their ships is huge, if we are still concentrated on the north coast of the river, we will inevitably encounter fierce artillery bombardment, just such a small place, hundreds of thousands of people, once the fight starts, the casualties will be extremely heavy, if we take advantage of the situation to occupy the Wuwei area, then not only can there be more places to resettle refugees, we also get a rare depth of maneuver, this is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." Zhang Cheng explained. In order to open up the communication line between the north and south of the Jinpu Road, the Japanese army drew up an operational plan for a joint attack between the north and the south, and each sent two main divisions to the south and north along the Jinpu Road from the north and south directions.
This central point is Xuzhou. The army in North China could not hold back for a long time, so they rushed south and occupied most of Shandong at once.
Not to be outdone, the Central China Front immediately moved north, and the main force of the 13th Division landed at Pukou, quickly occupied Quanjiao, Chuzhou and other places, and then went north along the Jinpu Road.
At this time, in the face of stubborn resistance from the Chinese side, although the 13th Division was menacing, it was unable to capture the city like the North China Front.
Originally, it was planned that the Southern Front Army would have another division, that is, the Ninth Division would cross the river from Wuhu and advance north along the Huainan Railway through Yuxikou.
It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and just when the Ninth Division was ambitious and ready to make another war exploit, it was entrusted by Zhang Cheng to Nanjing City.
The Ninth Division fought in Nanjing, not to mention the loss of troops, and I am afraid that even the original battle plan could not be carried out.
In this way, the Japanese 13th Division became a lone army, and compared with the historical situation, the pressure on the Fifth Theater was less, and now the offensive posture of the 13th Division has been contained.
Judging from the situation on the battlefield, although the 13th Division is now in an offensive posture, it is actually suffering from the enemy on its back, and if this situation cannot be changed, the situation of the 13th Division will become more and more dangerous.
At that time, not only will the plan for a joint attack between the north and the south drawn up by the base camp be completed, but even it will be in danger of being destroyed.
"Brigade seat, counselor, this is the sand table we made according to the situation in Jiangbei, everyone see. The blue area is the area controlled by our National Revolutionary Army, and the red area is the area controlled by the Japanese army. It's just such a small piece where our independent brigade now controls. The radius is less than 20 kilometers. Liu Zhongming pointed to a small piece of the sand table like a big ear and explained.
"Lao Liu, you have been tinkering in Jiangbei for a week before you have laid this little territory?" Marin smiled, a little sarcastic.
"Ma Lin, don't say that, it's not easy for Regiment Leader Liu, at least before we came, he had firmly controlled this territory in our hands!" Gao Zhisong reprimanded.
"In fact, our sphere of influence extends far beyond the blue areas on the sandbox. Brother has sent people to sweep the villages and towns around us, all the traitors who have taken refuge in me have been eliminated, and a joint defense and early warning system has been established, as long as the Japanese army steps into our sphere of influence, we will get the news immediately and respond quickly, I am not mistaken, Brother Liu? Zhang Cheng asked with a smile.
"Or is it so good that you know it so quickly?" Liu Zhongming smiled, "I actually learned this from the Communist Party." Their rural approach is really very effective. ”
"Since it works, we might as well use it. But there is one rule, those who disturb and hurt the people, catch one and punish one, we are not devils. ”
"Yes, no one dares to violate the military rules you set!" It's not that no one dares to commit it, but the person who committed the foul has already been executed several.
