Chapter 30: Sing a good show
When the Japanese army was deployed, Ma Zheng sat in the car and hurried leisurely, and the place he was going to this time was the headquarters of the 120th Division, the purpose of which was to transport a batch of weapons and equipment to the 120th Division.
After the troops made several large fortunes in a row, Ma Zheng found a very serious problem, that is, the arsenal they built could not be placed. If it is put outside, it is easy to be bombed by Japanese aircraft, and those miscellaneous weapons Ma Zheng can't look down on, rather than staying on Hades Mountain to occupy a place, it is better to use them all and send them to the 120th Division, so that the division headquarters can be uniformly transferred to all units.
Another problem is that the size of the unit is not small, and there are more than 3,900 soldiers in the field hospital and other departments. According to the calculation of soldiers, it is equivalent to a reinforced regiment of the Nationalist Government or equivalent to a second-class brigade, and according to the regulations of the Eighth Route Army, military units at the regimental level should set up political commissars.
However, the problem is that the current Chanan guerrilla detachment does not have many decent political cadres, not to mention political commissars, and even does not have a qualified instructor, which is very detrimental to the development of the troops.
What's more, the composition of the troops of the Chanan guerrilla detachment is very complicated, and most of them have had the experience of being bandits, so whether it is for the future of those fighters or for the sake of rallying the combat effectiveness of the troops, it is necessary to ask the higher authorities for instructions and dispatch political commissars. Because of this, Ma Zheng felt that these things had to be communicated with the head of the division headquarters.
The road from Yama Mountain to the northwest of Jin is not far or close, and it only takes half a day if you go to Datong, but considering that the first brigade of the independent mixed group still has two tank brigades intact, Ma Zheng decided to take the line of Fengzhen, Liangcheng, and Qingshui River, and then go south to Zuoyun and Youyu into the northwest of Jin. Although it takes more than half a day, it is relatively safe.
In order to ensure that they were not bombed by Japanese planes along the way, Ma Zheng ordered all the soldiers to change into Japanese military uniforms, and of course the equipment was also replaced with Japanese standard equipment, all 38 big covers and crooked handles.
In addition, a lot of horses were captured in this battle, and the cavalry squadron was expanded to 170 people.
It was very safe along the way, and I didn't encounter the little devil's plane, although I encountered a few small strongholds, but I saw the outfits and equipment of Ma Zheng and others and let them go directly.
At about seven o'clock in the afternoon of the 30th, the convoy finally arrived near Chenjiayao and contacted the troops who came to meet it.
During this period, because of the dress of Ma Zheng's department, there was almost a misunderstanding, but fortunately, Ma Zheng and others revealed their identities in time, so they did not go off the rails.
At the headquarters of the 120th Division, Division Commander He, Deputy Division Commander Xiao and others were anxiously waiting for news, when Director Guan ran in and said, "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”
Master He hurriedly got up and asked, "Where have you gone?" ”
"It's outside the village, good guys, there are more than thirty big trucks, and there is only one battalion of soldiers in charge of escorting, and there is also a cavalry battalion, which is really a big deal!" Director Guan said in admiration.
"Let's go, let's go!" Master He said with a smile with a wave of his hand.
Outside the village, Ma Zheng was directing the soldiers to unload their goods, when he suddenly saw dozens of torches surrounded by several gray figures walking towards him.
From a distance, I heard a hearty voice say: "Crazy horse, it seems that your kid has made a lot of money!" ”
Seeing the familiar face, Ma Zheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello chief!" ”
"Hey, no, when did you kid become so well-behaved and know how to salute?" Master He said in surprise.
Ma Zheng laughed and said, "Isn't this exciting to see you!" ”
To be honest, Ma Zheng's heart was very excited at this time, as for the reason, only he knew the reason, because the predecessor of the army when he first joined the army was led by this division commander He, and now that he saw a living person, he was naturally very excited.
"What is there to be excited about seeing me, I am excited when I see you, tell me how many good things you brought this time?" Master He asked with a smile.
"There were 7,699 rifles, 85 light and heavy machine guns, and a little less ammunition, only 200,000 rounds. In addition, there are half a cart of medicines, silver dollars and calligraphy and paintings. Ma Zheng replied.
"Good guy, you kid has really become a landlord and an old man, let's go and go back to the division to talk." Saying that, Senior Commander He took Ma Zheng's hand and walked towards the division headquarters.
At the headquarters of the 120th Division, Ma Zheng told everything that happened after the troops were dispersed by the Japanese army, and when he learned that Ma Zheng actually used a large group of bandits who had been temporarily recruited to defeat the first brigade of the independent mixed army, and attacked Fengzhen County twice in a row, and more than 4,000 little devils died in their hands, and all the people in the division headquarters were stunned.
"Horse madman, tell me honestly, how many soldiers and horses does the Chanan guerrilla detachment have now?" Master He asked again.
Ma Zheng touched his head embarrassedly and said: "It's not much, there are more than 3,500 wounded people thrown away, and there are more than 400 wounded soldiers in the hospital to recuperate." ”
"That means you have 3,900 people now, right?" Master He asked loudly.
"It should be!"
"Good boy, Lao Tzu has more than 10,000 people in one division, and there are nearly 4,000 people in one guerrilla detachment of your kid, no wonder he is so confident in fighting Sakai, hahaha!" Master He said with a smile.
"You have beaten the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and the little devil will definitely continue to fight back, what are you going to do next?" Master He continued to ask.
"The little devil's counterattack is expected, it doesn't matter! Anyway, Hades Mountain has been built into a turtle shell, and if the little devil wants to gnaw hard, he will only break his front teeth. Besides, it is not our style to be beaten passively, so I plan to disperse the troops to the line of Sumushan and Daqingshan in the next step, and firmly control the counties of Xinghe, Fengzhen, and Shangyi. Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.
After listening to Ma Zheng's words, Master He nodded and said: "Are you very strategic, these mountains are located at the junction of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, if you gain a firm foothold here, you can threaten Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province in the east, cut off the Pingsui Railway in the south, and go straight to the hinterland grassland of the little devil in the north." It's just that such an important place, the little devil will definitely let you occupy it so easily! ”
Ma Zheng smiled and said: "If you don't let Zhan conquer them, you will be subdued, the little devil has a limited strength, and it will stop for a while if you beat it hard." ”
"By the way, I heard that you captured more than 300 devil wounded this time, what are you going to do with them?" Master He asked again.
"I plan to use these devil wounded to sing a good show with the little devil!" Ma Zheng said mysteriously.
"Oh, what kind of play, how to sing?" Master He asked with interest.
Ma Zheng pointed to a military map spread out on the table and said: "Chiefs, please see, this place is called Daqing Mountain, there is iron and coal on the mountain, the most important thing is that the terrain here is dangerous, there is only one road up and down the mountain, but the terrain on the mountain is flat, which is very suitable for people to live." I'm going to take this place, and then transform it into a second Hades. ”
"What does that have to do with these Japanese prisoners?" Master He asked.
"Of course it matters, I will let these Japanese prisoners dig coal and iron in it, and then disclose the news to the little devil, what do you say the little devil will do?" Ma Zheng said.
"With the urine nature of the little devil, he will definitely send troops to attack Daqingshan!"
"Yes, that's what I want. The terrain of Daqing Mountain is much more dangerous than Hades Mountain, even if no one stops ordinary people, it is difficult to go up, as long as I transform it a little, even if the little devil comes to a division, it will be in vain. ”
"You kid don't want to replicate this fight, do you?" Master He asked with a smile.
"That's not it, the little devil is not stupid, he won't be fooled continuously."
"And what are your intentions?"
"There are so many Japanese devils in the Suicha area, if I attract all the little devils to Daqingshan, then other places will naturally be empty of troops, and when I want to fight that place, isn't it up to me? Once you have laid the ground, your influence will naturally go up, and if you have a reputation, you will naturally have no shortage of soldiers. Ma Zheng said with a smile.
"It's a good shot to leave the mountain, I'll see it!" Master He said with a smile.
