Chapter 468: Turning to the Northeast

In his impression, the 79th Division was considered a very active unit in the third theater of operations against Japan, how could it get out of the way this time and retreat in the direction of Jinhua?

However, the devil's strength this time has exceeded 10,000, and Liu Tianshu can't help but be careful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Send a telegram to Deputy Detachment Commander Zhang, let the first regiment stay in Gucheng, once the Japanese army moves south, it will resolutely resist for twenty-four hours, and then transfer south to catch up with the main force of the detachment, and the main force of the detachment will advance to the southeast with the second regiment as the vanguard, and go southwest from Guangde into the Tianmu Mountains." After staring at the map and thinking for a while, Liu Tianshu resolutely decided to give up his plan to go south from Liyang, and decided to directly enter the Tianmu Mountain area, and then pass through Tianmu Mountain and rush to Linchuan in the southeast.

Even the Japanese army in eastern Zhejiang has arrived, if you insist on advancing eastward and going south from the eastern edge of Tianmu Mountain, I am afraid that you will be besieged by devils, and if the enemy of Hangzhou forces to the west again, I am afraid that you will be in trouble.

After receiving the order from the detachment leader, Deputy Detachment Commander Zhang and Tong Guijie immediately commanded the troops to rush to repair the fortifications in Gucheng and prepare to block the Japanese troops in the north and east.

After the 2nd Regiment arrived at Gucheng, it immediately rushed to the southeast and rushed to Xiaoyu Village in the northwest of Tianmu Mountain when it was dark.

When the 1st regiment received the order of the detachment and learned that the main force of the detachment had safely entered the Tianmu Mountains, it immediately evacuated Gucheng that night.

When the first regiment stayed in Gucheng, although the Japanese heavy troops were approaching, they did not launch an attack on the first regiment in Gucheng, and even the planes did not come to attack it, which made Deputy Detachment Commander Zhang wonder for a while.

When did the devil become so obedient? However, since the devils don't take the initiative to attack, there is no need to provoke the devils. Having received an order from the detachment, the regiment quickly moved south.

However, on the second day of entering Tianmu Mountain, the second regiment, which was walking in front, was stopped by a force from the third theater.

After receiving Xie Pingcai's report, Liu Tianshu discussed it with Political Commissar Jiang and called Xie Pingcai back, telling the Second Regiment to be on guard and not to open fire on friendly troops without authorization.

The friendly troops in front were not very numerous, and they were only a regiment, but they held the pass, and at the same time set up machine guns.

After rushing over on horseback to the chief of staff, Political Commissar Jiang reported the situation to the military headquarters via radio.

Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Xiang learned that the seventh detachment was stopped by the troops of the third theater in the northwest of Tianmu Mountain, and they couldn't help but be very anxious, you know, after the seventh detachment withdrew from Gucheng and went south, the Japanese army immediately occupied Gucheng, and at the same time arranged heavy troops there, blocking the road for the seventh detachment to go north, if it could not enter the Tianmu Mountain area to western Zhejiang, it would be in the encirclement of the main force of the third theater.

You must know that Ningguo, not far to the west of the seventh detachment, is in the crowd of the two divisions in the third theater.

As for the troops of the Third Theater operating in Tianmu Mountain, they are not the main force.

Commander Ye asked Liu Tianshu's seventh detachment to exercise restraint, and at the same time he urgently contacted the third war zone and asked the war zone to agree to the seventh detachment to cross Tianmu Mountain to western Zhejiang.

When Chief Gu heard the report of his subordinates, saying that the New Fourth Army wanted to get the theater to agree to the seventh detachment to pass through Tianmu Mountain to western Zhejiang, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Inform Commander Ye of the New Fourth Army that the newly formed Fourth Army, which was transferred to the Third Theater by the Military Commission, does not have the structure of the Seventh Detachment, which is a regular force that is not recognized by the Nationalist Government, and the Third Theater is not responsible for its provisions. His spirit of spontaneous resistance to the Japanese invaders can be understood as a member of the party-state, but any of his actions must not affect the strategic arrangement of the theater. The geographical location of Tianmu Mountain is very important, it is a barrier to defend southern Anhui and eastern Jiangxi, and no civilian or illegal armed forces are allowed to enter the area without the permission of the war zone. Otherwise, it will be dealt with as a rebel army. ”

Now Liu Tianshu's seventh detachment, the north is the heavy Japanese army, and the other three sides are the troops of the third theater, which is really self-defeating.

When Commander Ye received a call back from the Third War Zone, he couldn't help but be angry, he didn't expect the War Zone Commander's Department to reply like this. Yes, the Military Commission gave the new Fourth Army the number of only four detachments, but now it is to fight the aggressor, is it still wrong for the troops to grow and develop in battle?

Just when Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Xiang were thinking about countermeasures, Liu Tianshu also rushed to the small mountain pass.

Seeing the arrogant and arrogant appearance of the Nationalist government troops guarding the mountain pass, the soldiers of the seventh detachment were eager for the detachment commander to give an order and directly surrender the weapons of these people.

What is the seventh detachment? The little devil is a character who trembles when he sees it, but unfortunately he is now bullied by a few small soldiers.

Seeing Liu Tianshu and Political Commissar Jiang coming, he hurriedly greeted the chief of staff.

"Chief of Staff, how are the negotiations with friendly forces?"

"The detachment commander, the political commissar, and the defenders said that without the order of the commander's department, not a single soldier could be allowed to enter the mountain." Xiang Chief of Staff was a little ashamed.

Liu Tianshu listened, but nodded silently, and after Jiang Jinyong comforted him, his eyes also revealed melancholy.

The defenders refused to let them go, and judging from the report of the reconnaissance brigade, the Nationalist government forces operating in Tianmu Mountain had blocked all the roads in and out of the mountain pass.

As for to the west, it is even more impossible, Ningguo can have troops of two divisions in the third theater of operations.

At this moment, a call back from the military headquarters arrived, and the seventh detachment was temporarily stationed in place, waiting for instructions from the military headquarters.

The next day, the military headquarters called and asked the seventh detachment to stop entering Tianmu Mountain and not to have friction with friendly forces.

In order to avoid the deterioration of the situation, the central authorities decided to let the Seventh Detachment advance northeast along the west side of Tianmu Mountain, and reach the area of Changxing and Huzhou through the east of Guangde.

Although in this way, the Seventh Detachment can be said to have taken a V-shape, the Central Committee believes that the Seventh Detachment can overcome difficulties and complete this arduous task.

Looking at the reply from the military headquarters, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong glanced at each other, and had no choice but to summon cadres above the group level to convene an emergency meeting, at which political commissar Jiang conveyed the instructions of the superiors.

Hearing that in order to avoid friction with friendly forces, the entire detachment had to turn around and advance in the northeast direction, several regiment commanders showed anger on their faces, and as for Deputy Detachment Leader Zhang, he was even more angry.

"Detachment leader, these guys in the war zone are really not things, don't they want to use the hands of devils to eliminate us? The entire Tianmu Mountain is just such a small team, as long as the detachment leader gives an order, our three regiments promise to disarm them all. Ou Biaofei said angrily.

"That's it, detachment leader, our seventh detachment has fought countless fierce battles with devils and destroyed so many enemies, but I didn't expect the war zone to treat us like this. Otherwise, we'll push our way and see who can stop our seventh detachment. Xie Pingcai also said.

Liu Tianshu heard that the two regiment commanders were talking more and more disagreeable, and his face suddenly sank: "What, they all have lost their temper, and they don't even listen to the orders of their superiors?" The theater has the considerations of the theater, and the military department has the plans of the military department, and what we have to do is to strictly implement the orders of the military department. Who was our seventh detachment afraid of? Didn't we go to western Zhejiang just to fight devils? There are no devils in Tianmu Mountain, since the war zone does not let us go to Tianmu Mountain, we will go to Taihu Lake. I don't believe that without Zhang Butcher, I can't eat live pigs? ”

Although the order of the military headquarters made Liu Tianshu feel a little aggrieved, he also knew that now was not the time to make friction with friendly troops, but fortunately, according to the report of the reconnaissance brigade, the devils in eastern Zhejiang retreated to Jiashan, and there was only one brigade of the Japanese army in Changxing, and the devils in Wuxi also retreated.

"Everyone, don't talk about it, listen to the detachment leader." Jiang Jinyong raised his hand and said.

"Tong Guijie, your regiment as the vanguard, set off in two hours, must arrive at Si'an Town south of Changxing before dawn, according to intelligence, we have an anti-Japanese armed force there, I have let the people of the reconnaissance brigade who rushed there get in touch with them, after you get there, immediately control Si'an Town, build a position to prevent the Japanese army in Changxing from going south, Xie Pingcai, your troops followed a regiment to quickly go north, and immediately advanced east after arriving at Si'an Town, and captured the Japanese stronghold of Zhujiaxiang, forty kilometers west of Huzhou, The two companies of the mortar battalion of the artillery regiment cooperated with the first and second regiments respectively, and the third regiment, the infantry battalion of the artillery regiment, the field hospital, and the logistics department, followed the actions of the second regiment, and the third regiment and three battalions were responsible for the rear. Let's go back and prepare. Liu Tianshu flipped through the notebook in front of him and gave the order for the troops to move expressionlessly.

Since the above requirements must not have friction with friendly forces, there is not much need to stay here, and it is also beneficial to go north, Changxing and Huzhou each have two Japanese brigades, and there are famous and wealthy places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if Huzhou is defeated, not only can the influence of the troops among the masses be expanded, but also supplies can be raised.

However, it is 150 kilometers away from Huzhou, and it is 90 kilometers away from Si'an Town.

Two hours later, the 1st Regiment of the 7th Detachment quickly moved out, and the troops, led by the guide they found, immediately rushed to the northeast, and then the 2nd Regiment also rushed to the northeast.

The detachment directly under the detachment, as well as the logistics, hospital, artillery regiment and other departments, naturally moved more slowly because of the large amount of materials, but on both sides of the entire marching ranks, the guard battalion sent troops to be on alert, and the troops of the Third Theater guarding Tianmu Mountain did not receive instructions from the Theater Commander's Department and did not dare to make any moves after discovering that the Seventh Detachment suddenly turned around and headed in the northeast direction.

In fact, the officers and men of these units, when they stopped the seventh detachment from entering the mountain at the mountain pass, had a very tough attitude on the surface, but in fact they were already frightened and uneasy in their hearts.

At dawn, the first regiment finally arrived at Si'an Town and joined Yue Daihe, the deputy captain of the reconnaissance brigade guarding there.

"Captain Su, this is Comrade Tong Guijie, the head of the first regiment of our detachment, and this is Su Yajuan, the guerrilla leader of the New Fourth Army who is active in this area." Seeing Tong Guijie coming, Yue Daihe immediately pointed to Su Yajuan and introduced Tong Guijie.

Tong Guijie didn't expect that the guerrilla leader of the New Fourth Army who was active in Si'an Town turned out to be a heroic female comrade. (To be continued.) )
