4th Round: Fight for the Heavy Artillery Regiment
Xu Da nodded and said: "Whether to say it or not is my business, whether to go or not is your business, everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. I think you're a bloody man! I won't say much else, I hope you cherish yourself. When do you need me, say hello to Commander Sun, let's come again, it's really a sea of fire and a mountain of swords, and we are also open-minded. ”
Han Xing nodded, took Xu Da's hand tightly and said, "What you have done has already been shown in the battle. As a modern person, I have also traveled to Liaocheng in this era, I say from the bottom of my heart, you and your air force are all good, and I thank you again! ”
Xu Da and the others got on the plane, one after another, took off from the airstrip, and then flew into the distance, gradually flying away.
There were only a few 96-1 fighters left on the airfield, and like a few children who no one cared about and no one cared for them, they had to be very lonely and pitiful.
With them, Han Xing didn't feel anything, just a sense of fulfillment, but they all left one by one, and Han Xing's heart felt empty and lost his attachment, as if the era he had stayed in had faded away, and this world that did not belong to him was clear again.
The southern expedition was hard, and all the soldiers had a three-day holiday, a rest, and a private affair at home. However, the high-ranking officers of the Southern Expeditionary Army and the important members of the special office could not rest, and they had a series of things to study during these three days.
The next day, a meeting of cadres at the special agency level was held in the conference room of the special commission. Fan Zhuxian originally had the right to make his own decisions, but he thought about it carefully and didn't do it.
He took into account that now it is not what it used to be, and the power of *** has become stronger and stronger, and it has gradually become the backbone of the anti-Japanese resistance. Then there is the contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which seems to be calm, but under this calm, a new round of storm is brewing. In addition, the Southern Expeditionary Army is a force to be reckoned with, and although it should be disbanded, their opinions must be listened to before they are disbanded.
Present at the meeting were Fan Zhuxian, Zhang Weihan, Li Shuchun, Wang Jinxiang, and Han Xing, and these people have constituted the highest leadership level of the party, government, and military in Liaocheng. Everyone else still has a position, that is, Han Xing, the identity is really special, now the Southern Expeditionary Army no longer exists, Han Xing is actually a grass people.
At the meeting, although Li Shuchun and Wang Jinxiang did not speak, from that kind of look, they looked down on Han Xing. That means, why do you come to the meeting, which onion are you?
Fan Zhuxian saw that everyone had arrived, and he said, "Before the meeting, I will announce the appointment. Stand up, everybody! ”
After several people stood up, Fan Zhu first took out a letter of appointment from his body and read it: "This order! In view of the outstanding performance of Han Xing in the Southern Expedition, Han Xing was appointed deputy commander of the guerrilla in the 6th District of Shandong Province. Jiang Zhongzheng"
When they heard Jiang Zhongzheng's name, all the people present stood upright.
Han Xing has an identity, and he is not so worried in his heart, otherwise, this meeting will really not be able to sit down.
Zhang Weihan thought to himself, this appointment, I don't know how Fan Zhuxian entrusted favors, took relationships, and moved up and down. Fan Zhuxian is really a master of the alliance of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he knows that as long as he holds Han Xing in his hand, he has the capital to speak on the central side and on the *** side.
But Li Shuchun was a little jealous, he didn't know anything about Han Xing's promotion in advance. It seems that Fan Zhuxian did not pass the line between himself and Shen Honglie, and directly overstepped the level to do this.
And Wang Jinxiang is not only jealous, he is simply angry. This Han Xing used to be just a small secretary, far below himself, as soon as the Japanese came, as soon as the war began, how many days did it take, how could he actually climb above his head. I'm so angry!
After announcing the appointment, everyone sat down, and Fan Zhuxian said: "Now the first topic is, how to arrange the heavy artillery regiment of the Southern Expeditionary Army? ”
As chief of staff and commander of the second detachment, Wang Jinxiang did not understand some military matters, and he knew that if the air force was gone, if the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and Japan started a war, whoever mastered the heavy artillery regiment would be the boss. Why did Fan Zhuxian ask him to come to this meeting, I'm afraid this is also the meaning, Fan Zhuxian knows the strength of the heavy artillery regiment, this is to make him speak.
Therefore, Wang Jinxiang opened his mouth and said: "What else is there to discuss, the Southern Expeditionary Army is a whole, and the heavy artillery regiment of the Southern Expeditionary Army naturally has to be placed under the command of the Guerrilla Command." When the time comes, our artillery will bombard them with a bang, how energetic! ”
One vote in favor.
Li Shuchun, as the director of Shandong Province in Liaocheng, of course knows a little about military affairs, but he is more political. He said slyly: "This is also a simple matter, when the Southern Expeditionary Army went out, it was a whole, and when it came back, it was also a whole, militarily it belonged to the Liaocheng Guerrilla Command, and politically it belonged to the Liaocheng Special Administration, which is not the private property of any detachment." ”
Li Shuchun said that this sentence was quite vicious, and he pointed the finger directly at the 10 detachments. Two votes in favor.
At this time, Zhang Weihan's situation was quite passive, and he was in a situation of weak strength in this meeting, but for this heavy artillery regiment, he had to fight on the basis of reason, if the heavy artillery regiment was fought over by Wang Jinxiang's side, if he didn't fight Japan, he would put it aside first, and the important thing was that if he was an enemy, it would be troublesome, and that possibility was very great.
Therefore, Zhang Weihan was patient and said unhurriedly: "The heavy artillery regiment is composed of two parts, one part is the mortar battalion of the 10th detachment, and the other is the heavy artillery battalion of Hou Dashan. When he was in Wharf Town, it was also Chief of Staff Han who took a lot of effort to bring in a helicopter formation and withdraw these heavy artillery pieces one by one, otherwise they would have all been blown up long ago. At the time of the expedition, there was no such organization as a heavy artillery regiment. I mean, the 10 detachment has experience in managing artillery, it is better to have the 10 detachment manage the heavy artillery regiment for the time being. ”
Zhang Weihan's meaning is very clear, at least half of the heavy artillery regiment is 10 detachments, and the other half was finally created during the Southern Expedition, which has nothing to do with the original establishment of the Southern Expeditionary Army. The management of the heavy artillery regiment by 10 detachments was not excessive.
One vote against.
Everyone's eyes are looking at the former chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the current deputy commander of the guerrillas, if Han Xing supports Wang Jinxiang and his gang, the heavy artillery regiment will definitely be useless if it belongs to the 10th detachment. If Han Xing supports Zhang Weihan, then the shape becomes quite delicate.
Han Xing stood up and talked about his theories endlessly.
Han Xing said: "The heavy artillery regiment can't just watch the battle be happy, but it is quite troublesome to manage. First of all, it is a transport, such a heavy howitzer, who transports it, a bare mule and a horse will definitely not work, then it has to be towed by a car, without a car tow, it is a dead thing, and the position cannot be transferred, let alone enter the position to play a role. The second is the manufacture of shells, now there are no shells for the heavy artillery regiments, they have to be remanufactured, who will make them, only the arsenal of the 10 detachments can make them. And then there is good steel used on the blade, who fights the most often, I think it is 10 detachments, if the 10 detachments have a heavy artillery regiment, then we will add a strong military force to the guerrilla corps in Liaocheng......"
Han Xing said such a big set, but he didn't say anything important, that is, there will be a major incident in Liaocheng next month, if the heavy artillery regiment is left to the guerrilla corps, it will be the enemy, and if it is left to 10 detachments, then a heavy artillery regiment will be added to the anti-Japanese forces.
Fan Zhuxian interrupted Han Xing's words and said, "Deputy Commander, don't say anything so quickly, say it one thing at a time." You first talk about howitzer towing, who can do this with car traction? ”
Han Xing said: "Only the design department of the Industrial Bureau can design the towed car, and after the design is completed, it will organize the production of the machinery factory in the special area." ”
Fan Zhuxian interrupted Han Xing's words and said, "Okay, okay, I know, only you can do this, right?" ”
Han Xing nodded and said, "Guarantee that the design and production will be carried out for a month, so that the howitzer can run everywhere." ”
Fan Zhuxian asked Wang Jinxiang again: "Chief of Staff Wang, can you do this?" ”
Wang Jinxiang was at a loss, he didn't even understand the drawings, how could he talk about design! Besides, it is designed with the donkey's lips against the horse's mouth, and the factories are all in the hands of Han Xing, if Han Xing gives him a stumbling block, he doesn't know where to fall!
Fan Zhuxian originally wanted to ask Li Shuchun if he could think of a way, but when he saw Li Shuchun lowering his head, he looked like he was full of fat, and in addition to eating and drinking pockmarks all day long, he was tempted, and he didn't even think about technical things, so he didn't give Li Shuchun this problem again.
Fan Zhuxian said to Han Xing again: "Why can artillery shells only be manufactured in the arsenal of 10 detachments, and can't the arsenal in our special area be manufactured?" ”
Han Xing shook his head and said, "Yes, the arsenal in our special area can't make it. ”
Fan Zhuxian sighed, Han Xing is the chief engineer and chief designer of the two arsenals, he said that if he can build it, he can build it, he said that if he can't build it, he can't build it. As for why, I don't know how to do it, how do I know?
When Zhang Weihan heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart, this Han Xing is really good! Obviously, the technical power of the two factories is in his hands, but he said that one factory can be built, and the other factory can't, who is fooling!
It seems that this Han Xing is deliberately pushing the heavy artillery regiment into his 10 detachments.
Fan Zhuxian is also a veteran of politics, and he doesn't want to complain about the heavy artillery regiment, so he said to Wang Jinxiang: "Chief of Staff Wang, can you think of a way to deal with the howitzer shell?" ”
Whoever Wang Jinxiang knows, he knows Li Shuchun. Does he know what type of howitzer shell is? He knows where the howitzer shells are in the warehouse? Does he know who cares about these howitzer shells?
So Wang Jinxiang looked at Li Shuchun with a call for help.
Fan Zhuxian asked Li Shuchun again: "Director Li, can you think of a way to get howitzer shells?" ”
