Chapter 737: We Defend Guangxi

He Wenyuan said: "This is also Commander Wei, who has killed the enemy on the front line of resistance against Japan for many years, and is our Guangxi Zhuang family." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is Engineer Zhang, is our Guangxi Miao family, Southwest Associated University high-achieving students, don't look at him young, has built several dams in our Guangxi, experienced. One helps you fight against Japan, and the other helps you build fortifications, how? ”

Wei Guoqing, who had a riot with Wei Baqun, later participated in the Baise Riot, and later moved to fight thousands of miles, went to the Jiangxi Soviet District, participated in the Red Army University to study, with excellent grades, became a teacher after graduation, participated in the anti-encirclement and suppression, the Long March, the War of Resistance against Japan, in 1943, and the commander of the First Army Division of the Huaibei Military Region and the secretary of the first prefectural party committee of the **** Huaibei District. He led his troops to fight in the east area of Jinpu Road in Huaibei, and repeatedly thwarted the sweeps of the Japanese puppet army.

Originally, in history, in 1944, after Peng Xuefeng died in battle, he served as the deputy commander of the Fourth Division, but history has changed, and his life trajectory has also changed.

In Guangxi, guerrillas from various places and veteran officers from other regions need to be tempered and trained into regular troops. He served as commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in Guangxi and went all out to reorganize the army. Over the past year, the army has become very combat-effective.

In recent years, the guerrillas in the southwest have obtained a large amount of American equipment, which has been modified and has begun to produce standard weapons. With weapons and equipment, the entire Guangxi army has become an army, but it is still raised in the deep mountains, silently opening up base areas, and no one knows.

Wei Yunsong was noncommittal to the two talents recommended by He Wenyuan, but just asked the three of them to sit down and watch the tea, and between the conversations, he only wanted He Wenyuan to donate grain and grass.

When He Wenyuan saw him like this, he didn't talk about donations, only about his talents.

Seeing that the words were not speculative, Wei Yunsong diverted the topic and said, "May I ask Commander Wei, do you have any peace views on the battle for the defense of Guilin?" ”

Commander Wei: "In the battle of Guilin, take the initiative to attack, destroy the railway, and hold it for three or four months, and you can wait for the change of the situation. ”

Wei Yunsong said: "Hold on for three or four months? Can't do it. Not to mention the current person, the deputy chief gave me 50,000 people, and I can only keep it for a month. According to the experience of the Russo-Japanese War, it is estimated that 1,500 people will be lost in one day, 40,000 in 30 days, and 5,000 people will be left to break through. The deputy commander only sent a 31st Division of the 31st Army, a 170th Division of the Forty-sixth Army Recruit Division, and artillery units to serve as the defense. The defense of Guilin was weak and the city was vast, so it could not be defended. ”

He Wenyuan said in his heart: "The rumors are really true, these guys really have a negative attitude." Guilin is not good, Guangxi is not good. ”

Commander Wei: "What if I send 10,000 guerrillas to contain the Japanese army on the outside line?" ”

Wei Yunsong said: "Guerrillas? Isn't it a militia group? The guerrillas did not have good weapons and poor military qualities. Can the guerrillas beat the Japanese? ”

Commander Wei: "As long as it drags on until the beginning of next year, the situation will change a lot." At that time, your Guilin will not need to be defended. ”

Wei Yunsong said: "The situation has changed greatly? Can you tell us a thing or two? ”

Commander Wei: "We have received information from Chongqing, Tehran, Cairo, Moscow, and Washington, D.C., that the world situation is now brewing changes, and many allies will launch attacks on Japan and Germany in the short term. The allies attacked, the Japanese were attacked from both sides, and they would inevitably withdraw their troops from us, and Guangxi was not important to Japan. Believe me, the anti-fascist situation in the world will change very quickly. ”

Wei Yunsong didn't believe in his big set, and he didn't know where the names of these places he said were at all, and he didn't know how to do it, and said: "If you continue to fight like that, my defenders will be exhausted." ”

Don't speculate, Wei Yunsong didn't mention the fortifications of the city.

Because He Wenyuan could not say that Commander Wei was a cadre of the New Fourth Army, Wei Yunzhen thought that he was just a veteran, and he didn't look down on him, and he was not even interested in listening to his views on the battle.

The three of them took their leave. Before he got in the car, Wei Yunsong sent an adjutant to ask He Wenyuan to go back, saying that he had forgotten to say something. He Wenyuan returned to Wei Yunsong's office, and Wei Yunsong said: "Chairman He, what about the factory we co-founded?" ”

He Wenyuan said: "The factory is located in the mountainous area north of Guilin, more than ten miles away from here, and the Japanese ghost will not go there, so we ignore him and continue to produce." ”

Wei Yunsong was not at ease and said, "How can a Japanese ghost not go?" They occupied Guilin, and naturally requisitioned the factory. Our factory produces soap and soap, and half of Guangxi uses our goods. Will the Japanese ghost come to catch this chicken that lays golden eggs? ”

He Wenyuan said: "Commander Wei, you mean, you can't hold Guilin?" Even for the sake of our factory, you have to defend Guilin. We, Commander Wei, have analyzed that it will not be long before the Japanese ghost boy occupies Guangxi. ”

Wei Yunsong: "I'm still not at ease. In this way, I sent a battalion of troops to guard the factory. They need to evacuate, and they can still help. Li Bai and the others have shares in the factory, and I can't afford to have an accident in the factory. ”

got into the car, He Wenyuan said: "The superior's speculation is indeed true, Wei Yunsong and others will be greedy for eighty or ninety percent of the military spending, and only take one percent of the military budget to defend the city." This is trying to make a fortune. ”

Commander Wei: "Leave them alone. We do our own thing. I have 20,000 troops in the north of Guilin, echoing the guerrillas in Hunan, and it is still possible to drag the devils for several months without leaving the front line of Guilin and Liuzhou. ”

He Wenyuan said: "I'm really in a dilemma. Looking at these corrupt officials, it stands to reason that this matter should be poked out and let them spit out the money. But if you do this, you will inevitably be unstable, and a big war is imminent, so you don't dare. ”

Commander Wei: "It seems that the army here is not able to cooperate at all, let alone rely on it. In such a situation, the only way to do this is to consume the Japanese. We shifted the battlefield to the north, to Jeonju, and destroyed the railroad. The lines of communication are all gone, how to transport troops. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Our layout is along the main transportation routes, and there are our people all over the state and in Hung Yen. The good news is that the Hunan guerrillas annihilated more than 4,000 people in the vicinity of Hengyang in more than 20 skirmishes. The Japanese army's baggage is not guaranteed at all, although there are several elite divisions and regiments, and there are many veterans, but the combat effectiveness has declined very much. Originally, there were heavy losses in the defense of Hengyang, but now it is even worse. “

Commander Wei: "I'll pull the team over now." Even if this Japanese is the elite, even if we are mosquitoes, we will bite him all over the head. ”

He Wenyuan said: "I'll prepare the logistics. The key to collecting **** rout soldiers is medicine. This is the experience of the Hunan guerrillas. The amount of medicines consumed in the previous stage was too large. ”

Commander Wei: "I have already moved the pharmaceutical factory, it is safe. According to the order of the Southwest Bureau, our unit must not fight a war of annihilation, no positional warfare, only a mobile war and a guerrilla war, and the goal is to consume the enemy in large quantities. ”

He Wenyuan said: "If the troops in the southwest are half well equipped in the northeast, we can wipe out hundreds of thousands of them." Of course, the Japanese army here is elite, a lot of veterans. It's a pity that the enemy can't be destroyed in large numbers. ”

Commander Wei: "According to the analysis of the superiors, at the beginning of next year, the situation of the war against Japan will undergo tremendous changes. Do you think it's possible? ”

He Wenyuan said: "I'll tell you the truth, I haven't seen Mr. Lu for a while. I'd love to talk to him and find out. I know that he put forward this idea and handed it over to Yan'an for discussion, and there must be a reason for him. I believe that by now, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Chongqing all know this idea. But no one will believe that we can do it. ”

Commander Wei: "I think it's possible. We have developed 100,000 people in Guangxi, and the mass base is very good, and there are already 10 million people. There are also 100,000 in Yunnan, more than 100,000 in Burma, and even tens of thousands in Guizhou. Extrapolating from the southwest to the whole country, our strength is very large. It is possible to fundamentally change the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Okay, turn Guangxi into a big quagmire and let the Japanese fall into it." We have promoted Comrade Lu Zuofu's model of social transformation in the southwest, and now it has blossomed in an all-round way. We have cultivated a large number of local cadres and mass bases, and we have a large amount of food and materials in our hands, and we are confident. ”

As a result of the discussion between He Wenyuan and Commander Wei, he left Engineer Zhang in Guilin to assist Wei Yunsong in defending the city. Secretly, Engineer Zhang and the guerrillas who remained behind acted together in the battle to defend the city.

He Wenyuan stayed on the front line in Liuzhou, Guilin, to organize production and prepare for future battles. Commander Wei returned to his troops and prepared to fight along the railway.

Recently, Dong Zhentang's troops in Hunan will fight guerrilla attacks from southern Hunan to northern Hunan, and Commander Wei will fight guerrilla attacks along the railway lines in Guangxi.

There is still some time left in the big war. According to intelligence, it will take half a month for the Japanese army to attack Jeonju. Quanzhou, in the south of Yongzhou, is the first city in northern Guizhou and the first town in Bagui.

Commander Wei led two people, took a train, and headed north to Quanzhou. The carriage was almost empty, except for a handful of soldiers, who drank at one end of the carriage.

Although Commander Wei went to the southwest, he had close ties with the New Fourth Army holders. When he was in the New Fourth Army, he also studied the navy. He knew that great progress had been made in the construction of the Navy in the Northeast, and aircraft carriers were about to enter service. It would be great if I could go to Dalian now.
