[Anti-Japanese Iron and Blood King] Chapter 959: South to Northern Henan (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

As soon as Ma Zheng's words fell, the entire conference room exploded, which was too shocking. www.biquge.info Looking at this posture, this commander of theirs was preparing to fight to the death with the Nationalist Government, and many cadres, including Political Commissar Luo, were anxious, worried that their young commander would be dizzy and make irreparable mistakes.

Immediately, Political Commissar Luo said in a deep voice: "Commander, are we waiting any longer, now the southeast of Jincheng and most of northern Henan are the territory of the Japanese and the Nationalist Government, and we are blatantly entering and occupying the front line of Jincheng like this, I am afraid that it will cause new friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." ”

Xu Yinghui also said: "Yes, Commander, the Central Committee has repeatedly issued orders and reaffirmed that all ministries are resolutely not allowed to have friction with the troops of the Nationalist Government, and everything is subject to the anti-Japanese national united front, and we are violating discipline by doing so." ”

Ma Zheng shook his head and said, "Don't wait, if you wait any longer, something big will happen in southern Anhui." Lao Luo, the matter in southern Anhui is far from as simple as you think. The contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in southern Anhui have reached the point of irreconcilability, and they cannot be resolved in a few words. As a matter of fact, as early as last year, the two sides had been at loggerheads, and since the New Fourth Army developed behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu, it had been in constant trouble with the Kuomintang diehards, and even large-scale battles broke out. ”

"Well, I have also heard about this matter, but I only heard it roughly, I only know that in October last year, the Kuomintang diehards besieged our New Fourth Army in order to recover the Huangqiao army occupied by the New Fourth Army, but due to the strategy of dividing and attacking together, the troops were scattered, and the troops directly attacking Huangqiao were insufficient, and the Kuomintang troops did not support each other, and the above reasons led to the failure of the attack and heavy losses. The New Fourth Army successfully held Huangqiao with inferior forces, and then occupied Jiangyan, Hai'an and other places. As for the details, I don't know, because there were very few relevant reports at that time, and the Party Central Committee did not do any propaganda about it. Political Commissar Luo said.

"Hehehe, this is politics, and it is said that war is a continuation of politics, and this is not false at all. At that time, out of consideration for the separate interests of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, all the newspapers in China did not report much on the battle of Huang Qiang, and I also learned the truth about this incident from some other sources. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "At the beginning of last year, in accordance with the instructions of the central government, the New Fourth Army began to concentrate on the development of northern Jiangsu and southern Anhui, and cooperated with the New Fourth Army to open up the first and second detachments of the fifth column of the Eighth Route Army in northern Jiangsu, Huang Kecheng's first and second detachments, and the fifth detachment of the New Fourth Army, respectively, arrived in the area north of Lianshui and the west bank of the Grand Canal, forming a favorable strategic situation with the New Fourth Army's troops in northern Jiangsu. ”

As early as the time of reorganization, Chiang and Gu demarcated defense areas for the New Fourth Army, but the defense areas they demarcated were very narrow, which was not conducive to the operation and development of the New Fourth Army. Therefore, very early on the New Fourth Army decided to develop outside the defense zone. ”

As early as May 1939, Commander Chen of the New Fourth Army sent Ye Fei to lead the Sixth Regiment to Jiangyin, Wuxi, and Changshu areas, and the Maoshan anti-Japanese base area of the New Fourth Army also had a certain scale. Chen and Su then decided to send troops north to cross the Yangtze River and develop to the north bank of the Yangtze River. After several months of operations and development, by the end of November, several main forces of the New Fourth Army had reached northern Jiangsu and controlled the Yangtze River crossing, and the New Fourth Army crossed both sides of the Yangtze River and occupied a favorable situation. ”

Before Ma Zheng's words fell, Political Commissar Luo said: "Comrade Chen Yi is a talented person, and the struggle situation of their New Fourth Army is not much better than ours, and it is not easy for them to gain a foothold in southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, and southern Anhui. ”

Ma Zheng smiled bitterly: "The problem is here, the Jiangsu and southern Anhui regions are Han Deqin's territory, and Han Deqin had a whole group army in his hands at that time, what does the New Fourth Army have, thousands of guns, more than 10,000 personnel, such a force dares to grab territory with him Han Deqin, isn't this nonsense." Therefore, when Su Yu led the New Fourth Army into northern Jiangsu, there were many frictions with Han Deqin, although the scale was not very large, but it seriously hindered the development of the New Fourth Army. ”

On September 30 last year, Han Deqin concentrated most of his forces and attacked Huangqiao from Hai'an, Taizhou and other places in three ways. After many battles, a total of 12 regiments of the main force of the Han Deqin Division, all of the 16th Security Brigade, one regiment of the Third Security Brigade and one regiment of the Fifth Security Brigade, totaling more than 11,000 people, resulting in the death of Li Shouwei, commander of the 89th Army of the Han Deqin Division, Weng Da, commander of the 6th Independent Brigade, and several brigade and regiment commanders, and captured more than 30 divisional, brigade, and regimental officers including Sun Qiren, commander of the 33rd Division, Miao Ruilin, commander of the 99th Brigade, and chief of staff of the 117th Division, as well as 600 junior officers. ”

"During the campaign, more than 3,800 long and short guns, 189 light and heavy machine guns, 3 mountain guns, 59 mortars, and a large amount of ammunition and military supplies were also captured, and the New Fourth Army won victory."

In just a few days, more than 11,000 people below the commander of the 89th Army of Han Deqin's department were defeated by the New Fourth Army, and the commander was killed in battle. The New Fourth Army pursued the victory and occupied Hai'an, Dongtai and other places. While the Battle of Huangqiao made the New Fourth Army gain a firm foothold in northern Jiangsu, it also led to a growing gap between the New Fourth Army and Han Deqin's headquarters, and now it has come time to have to break out. ”

Ma Zheng's words were so shocking that Political Commissar Luo didn't speak for a long time after hearing it. Ma Zheng also knew that Political Commissar Luo and the others needed to digest everything he just said, so he didn't urge him to express his position.

After a pause of about ten minutes, Political Commissar Luo finally sighed and asked: "Then we don't need to ask the Central Committee first, after all, it is not possible to work hard with the Kuomintang, if there is no authorization from the Central Committee, I am afraid that it will be ......"

Ma Zheng looked at Political Commissar Luo and said: "No, if there are other things, it's okay to say, but only this matter we can't ask the head of the Central Committee, if something happens, I will carry it alone, we will only make it difficult for the chairman to do it, I think we will do this first, and I will carry it alone if something happens." ”

"Fart, I'm the political commissar of the Suicha Military Region, isn't it a slap in the face for me Lao Luo when you're alone, besides, this matter is also for the party and the army, not for you and for my personal welfare, how can you let you bear it alone, if something happens, my Lao Luo will bear it with you, or the old rules, I guard the house, you command the battle, it's feasible?" Political Commissar Luo said loudly.

"Okay, let's do it, tomorrow I will go south to meet Gao Shuxun in southern Hebei, ask his troops to get out of the way, and let us go south!" There must not be a little negligence in this battle with the First War Zone, otherwise we will suffer a big loss. Ma Zheng said.

"Yes, Wei Lihuang is not easy to mess with, and the first theater is the elite of the Kuomintang, although the local miscellaneous army accounts for more than half, but the actual combat effectiveness should not be underestimated." Political Commissar Luo also reminded.

"Hehehe, what Lao Luo has to do now is a situation, a situation of sweeping Henan to dominate the Central Plains, whether to fight or not depends on the performance of Lao Jiang and his dictatorial government!"

Then Ma Zheng said again: "Now our army is really strong and strong, and after these days of rest, the combat effectiveness of the troops has risen by more than a step, and it is time to pull it out for training." If Lao Jiang doesn't know each other, I, Ma Zheng, don't mind eating one of his group troops, anyway, Pang Bingxun's old boy is not a good thing, just eat it, as long as it is eaten cleanly. ”

Luoyang. 1st Theater Command.

Wei Lihuang, commander of the First Theater of Operations, sat in his office chair and read the newspaper absentmindedly, feeling extremely heavy.

The situation in southern Anhui is getting out of control more and more, and today the First Theater also received an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, which asked Pang Bingxun's 40th Army to immediately move eastward and be ready to flank Han Deqin's Ministry at any time.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the commander, the 40th Army is in an emergency!"

"Read!"

"Yesterday, more than 1,000 people from Ma Zheng's headquarters of the communist army suddenly went south and blatantly invaded Boai last night, and an infantry battalion of our army stationed in Boai was disarmed, and the communist army is still increasing .......its troops," the adjutant said slowly.

"What, Ma Zheng's department went south, he doesn't know how chaotic the situation is now, it's really chaos. Call Liu Yi to me, I want to ask them if there is any news from the military commander, go quickly. Wei Lihuang said angrily.

"Yes!"
