With a large amount of gold in hand and a large order from the United States, the dog began to get nervous on Tuesday.

After rapid development, the Wu Mu Army expanded a considerable territory in the Yangtze River Valley: the guerrilla areas of the Wu Mu Army on both sides of the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang to the west to Hukou in the east or the joint guerrilla areas with friendly forces were densely packed; The transport corridor from Dangtu to the Fifth Theater of Operations has been unimpeded; The devil's plane basically no longer threatens the Wu Mu army, and the Wu Mu army's flying thunder makes the devil fearful.

Everything is ready, only Tuesday is the dog. Therefore, the Wu Mu Army purchased food and materials more aggressively, and then exported a large number of munitions: the New Fourth Army needed a large number of gun grenades, porcelain canister grenades, porcelain canister mines, first-aid kits, Western medicine, medical equipment, as well as special 4 and 8 javelin flying mines and launchers, grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, ......; The Fifth Theater was stronger than the New Fourth Army, and in addition to the same materials as the New Fourth Army, it also purchased a batch of Foguang Flying Thunder, Heavenly Rain Flying Thunder, and Meteor Flying Thunder, and a large number of salt, grain, and supplies were taken care of by the Wumu Caravan; The Third War Zone, the Ninth War Zone, and the Sixth War Zone are all more generous than the Fifth War Zone, and they have all recognized the purchase of the big killing weapons such as Foguang Flying Thunder and Tianyu Flying Thunder, and the heavy artillery that Wu Mu Army has reequipped has also been snapped up by these war zones.

On Tuesday, the dog saw that the more than 200,000 Wumu troops had no fighting all day, but their hearts were empty, of course, they were also worried that the troops would lose their fighting spirit because of the long-term lack of fighting, so they decided to find something to do for the troops!

On Tuesday, Gou privately communicated with Zhao Dahu, Xiang Qingyun, Zeng Qi, Shi Jilun and others, and everyone was actually worried about this problem, so they held another staff meeting decently.

The General Staff Committee decided to reduce the size of the troops, reduce a number of veterans, and divert a number of troops.

Although the Wumu army has been fighting for many years, it has always paid close attention to the cultural education of soldiers, so after a short period of training after the soldiers are discharged, many people can enter the arsenal of the Wumu army as skilled workers, and those with a low level of education can also be incorporated into the Wumu caravan; He also asked Wang Laodun to set up an infrastructure brigade again to improve the infrastructure of Xishan, repair and expand factory buildings, staff dormitories, and barracks, build and widen roads, strengthen bridges and sluices, and strengthen and improve permanent fortifications; For the health soldiers with a skill, after training in the general hospital, they will be enriched to the township health centers, which can improve the medical and health level of the surrounding people, and secondly, serve as a reserve force for the epidemic prevention force; For the retired cooks, they were incorporated into Zhou Yuzi's food factory; Other officers and soldiers without special skills were placed in factories to serve as auxiliary workers...... In short, soldiers who have served for more than five years or over 28 years old have been resettled, and a total of more than 30,000 people have been resettled, which has greatly strengthened the local strength of Xishan.

As for the Jiangbei guerrillas, because the Wumu Army has strong combat effectiveness and good treatment, the troops have expanded rapidly, and the living space has become small, but there are large areas of territory around it, the New Fourth Army, and local armed forces are entrenched, and the Wumu Army is not good at making frictions with the Chinese, and some are tied up; after Lu Yaohan coordinated with all quarters, he diverted some troops to form joint forces with other units, and formed various "coalition forces" with various names, which not only expanded the activity space of the troops, but also prevented other troops from causing contradictions.

Because Tan Zhenlin's Maoshan base had been changed to **, it was lost by **, and then recaptured by Wu Mu's army, so Tan Zhenlin's department had to fight along the shores of Baohua Mountain, Danyang, Changzhou, and Taihu Lake, and after Wu Mu's army regained the lost ground, Tan Zhenlin's position was very embarrassing. Therefore, on Tuesday, Gou proposed to Tan Zhenlin that Wu Mujun provide equipment and some combat troops to assist Tan Zhenlin's troops in opening up the guerrilla area of the former Jiangsu-Shanghai guerrilla brigade as a base and expanding to Suzhou, Wujiang, and Jiaxing.

Zhao Chongshan was assigned to lead the team to Tan Zhenlin's department. On Tuesday, Zhao Chongshan was given a reinforced battalion, 1 heavy machine gun company, 9 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 1 mortar company, 9 90mm mortars, 1 light flying thunder company, 9 meteor flying thunder launchers, 1 police communication company, all German-made barge guns, Zhao Chongshan asked Shu Jintang to open the back door to get 100 gun grenade launchers, and then reported to Tan Zhenlin with full personnel.

When he arrived at the New Fourth Army, Zhao Chongshan discussed with Tan Zhenlin and other leaders of the New Fourth Army, and reorganized his subordinate units into nine fire platoons, each platoon had one heavy machine gun, one mortar, and one Meteor Flying Mine launcher, and assigned them to each main regiment to enrich the firepower of each regiment.

Tan Zhenlin is a veteran of the battlefield, and he first occupied Changshu with 1 brigade.

According to Zhao Chongshan's suggestion, the early reconnaissance touched the devil's stronghold, and there was a devil's brigade headquarters in Changshu City, 1 transport squadron, 1 artillery squadron, and a battalion of Wang's puppet troops stationed; 3 infantry squadrons control the surrounding towns, each devil squadron commands 1 battalion of the puppet army, most of the devils are stationed in the big market town, and the puppet army is supervised and led by the devils, with squads and platoons stationed in small strongholds, and 12 heavy machine guns are sent to various important strongholds.

Zhao Chongshan asked to participate in the preliminary battle, and Tan Zhenlin also wanted to see Zhao Chongshan's true ability, so he approved Zhao Chongshan's request.

In order to fight the first battle of the New Fourth Army, Zhao Chongshan adopted relatively conservative tactics and concentrated the strength of the whole battalion to attack 1 squadron of devils and 1 battalion of the puppet army.

Zhao Chongshan's deployment was to attack three adjacent small strongholds with one company, and the other two companies were responsible for reinforcements.

Zhao Chongshan's three platoons infiltrated the periphery of the three strongholds overnight.

The devil supervisor of a stronghold is very dedicated, and he gathered the puppet army early in the morning and went out**, and was shot dead by a sniper of the New Fourth Army who was close to the lurking.

The other strongholds immediately took alert when they heard the gunshots, and only then checked the situation, and the snipers of the New Fourth Army attacked and killed the devil's supervisor, and then the troops quickly charged and bombarded with guns and grenades.

The small gun grenade can only kill and injure enemy soldiers, and cannot damage pillboxes, turrets and other fortifications, but the scene caused is very shocking, which makes the puppet soldiers tremble; After the troops approached the turret, they began to fire large high-explosive grenades, which produced an artillery effect, and the puppet soldiers were unwilling to substitute the devils as dead ghosts, so they immediately surrendered their guns.

When the devil's stronghold heard the explosion, he judged that it was the main force of the ** army, but he actually asked his boss for help and couldn't hold it.

Then Zhao Chongshan was not polite, and ordered 1 company to monitor the devil's stronghold, and the other 2 to pull out 8 devil's strongholds in a row, and besiege the devil's stronghold.

Devil reinforcements arrived, and were blocked by Zhao Chongshan's troops relying on the occupied turrets and strongholds, and the devils of 1 squadron were surrounded in the stronghold, Zhao Chongshan launched a big killer - meteor flying thunder, and 4 combined meteor flying thunder launchers launched 6 rounds of flying thunder in one breath, and the devils in the stronghold were killed and wounded, and the soldiers of the New Fourth Army took the opportunity to rush into the stronghold.

Zhao Chongshan's subordinates were equipped with a large number of shell guns, so they did not fight hand-to-hand with the devils, but only used the shell guns to kill the remnants of the devils, and occupied the devil's stronghold cleanly.

As soon as Zhao Chongshan occupied the devil's stronghold, Changshu's devil reinforcements arrived.

A squad and an artillery squad of the devil's transport team rushed over with 2 companies of the puppet army, with a total of 2 infantry guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 9 grenadiers, 9 light machine guns and more than 100 rifles.

Zhao Chongshan arranged for two platoons to guard the three turrets in front of the devils, and fired at the devils with 15 guns and grenades, three captured grenadiers, and two light machine guns.

The shell guns pressed the puppet army 60 meters away, the rifles were specially aimed at the devil's officers and soldiers to shoot, and the gun grenades and grenadiers used the strong fortifications and condescending advantages to focus on the light machine guns and grenadiers of the devils, and the orderly firepower allocation effectively stopped the devils' attack.

But after all, the devil's infantry artillery and heavy machine guns are far away from the artillery towers occupied by the New Fourth Army, and they are very powerful, and the reinforcement troops of the New Fourth Army are under great pressure. Therefore, Zhao Chongshan followed the advice of the deputy battalion commander sent by the New Fourth Army, and the reinforcements withdrew from the peripheral artillery towers and retreated to the two flanks.

The devil's target is in the central stronghold, and he rushes forward to kill regardless of it. Zhao Chongshan had long been in the central stronghold.

As soon as the devils set up their positions, a group of puppet army routs appeared behind them, and suddenly attacked the devil's artillery position and heavy machine gun position, and the dense gun grenades and grenades killed the devil's artillery and machine gunners, and the dead and wounded escaped, and soon occupied the devil's fire position and used the captured heavy machine guns and infantry guns to fire at the devil.

The devil couldn't fight anymore, so he had to take cover and withdraw to Changshu City alternately. The puppet army was not so lucky, and had to surrender obediently under the encirclement of the New Fourth Army.

Tan Zhenlin saw that Zhao Chongshan had won the territory of 1 squadron and 1 battalion of puppet troops with the strength of one battalion, so he recognized Zhao Chongshan's command ability, and also greatly praised Zhao Chongshan at the battle summary meeting. Zhao Chongshan immediately kicked his nose in the face, and proposed to take the lead with the main forces of each regiment and fight some beautiful battles to deter the puppet army in small strongholds and create a big momentum for the later seizure of the base area.

Tan Zhenlin was well aware of these tactics, and ordered Zhao Chongshan to make a detailed battle plan, and then Zhao Chongshan formed an advance detachment.

The advance detachment takes the 9 firepower platoons brought by Zhao Chongshan as the core, and then 1 infantry company, according to the layout of the puppet army stationed in the stronghold, the characteristics of the tactics are simple and rude: close to the stronghold to shout, order the puppet army to kill the devil to supervise the surrender of the gun, if the puppet army dares to have a little disobedience, immediately bombard it with meteor thunder, and then break through the turret, but basically let a part of the puppet army escape, go back to do propaganda for the New Fourth Army.

After several battles, the advance detachment of the New Fourth Army became famous. So much so that the other units of the New Fourth Army all waved the banner of advancing into the detachment, put the fake flying thunder launcher made of bamboo tube outside the turret, and then shouted a few times, most of the puppet army would kill the devils and supervise the surrender of the guns.

As a result, Tan Zhenlin's troops quickly established guerrilla zones of varying sizes in Yangcheng Lake, Wujiang, and other places, and infiltrated the south bank of the Yangtze River to the north and the north bank of the Qiantang River to the south.

After gaining a foothold on the eastern shore of Taihu Lake, Tan Zhenlin was very dissatisfied with the shape of the guerrilla zone: the long and narrow form of the guerrilla zone and the base area lacked strategic depth, and it was inconvenient for the troops to communicate with each other and it was not easy to concentrate troops, so he ordered all units to infiltrate and expand into the Kunshan, Qingpu, and Songjiang areas to increase the thickness of the Wujiang and Yangcheng Lake base areas, and at the same time ordered Zhao Chongshan's advance detachment to cross the Qiantang River and march to the line of Shaoxing, Shangyu, Yuyao, Cixi, Fenghua, and Ningbo, and the other two brigades followed suit.

Zhao Chongshan was ordered to cross the Qiantang River, intending to make a situation with the deterrent power of his powerful firepower. Unexpectedly, most of the troops in this area are devil troops, and there are very few puppet troops, and the tactics of deterrence and intimidation are not good, so they can only fight with real swords and guns.

On Tuesday, of course, the dog would not let Zhao Chongshan take the risk alone, and sent a special combat battalion of Duanmu Changyan and a section of the Wuxing garrison brigade to cross the Qiantang River to echo Zhao Chongshan, and establish contact with Li Jinglong's department in the Zhoushan Islands.

Li Jinglong's department is also very uncomfortable now, and the devil navy has strengthened its defense against the Zhoushan Islands, established several naval bases, and constantly swept the bases of Li Jinglong's department. However, Li Jinglong's troops were far away from the base areas, their equipment was aging, and their ammunition supplies were scarce, and they were increasingly unable to support a large number of supplies. On Tuesday, Gou even took advantage of the New Fourth Army's guerrilla zone passage to transport a large number of Foguang 2 Flying Thunder, Tianyu 2, and launch racks from Hangzhou Bay to Li Jinglong's unit, and Li Jinglong's accumulated materials were also transported back to the Xishan base area in large quantities.

Tuesday's charity of the dog was rewarded. So Tuesday Dog devoted himself even more to his "charity": he ordered the guerrillas adjacent to the friendly army to form a group of battalion, company, platoon-level firepower units, mainly equipped with rain and meteor mines, stationed in friendly defense areas, with friendly troops providing food supplies and Wu Mu Army providing fire support for friendly forces.

For a time, the guerrillas of the Wu Mu Army became a sweet spot, and all the troops invited the fire units of the Wu Mu Army to station, and many puppet army units in the surrounding area heard that the fire troops of the Wu Mu Army were stationed, and immediately killed the devil to supervise and take refuge in them.

Ouyang Cheng came to report that his Sichuan-Hubei-Hunan instructor was transferred to the expeditionary force on the Sino-Burmese border, and all of them were replaced with American-made equipment.

Lu Qingyang came to report that his instructor had been assigned to the Sixth War Zone, stationed in Changde, and planned to send Tong Jingya, the liaison adjutant, to the Southern Jiangsu Garrison Command to be responsible for the procurement of logistics materials.

On Tuesday, the dog received two telegrams, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: In the past few years, so many brothers who have fought side by side in life and death are on different sides, and there will be many brothers in the cruel battle on the battlefield, never see each other, no, I want to meet these old brothers.

So, Tuesday Dog discussed with Zhao Dahu and others and decided to go to Changde to meet with the Brotherhood.

According to Tuesday's dog orders, Shu Jintang prepared a batch of weapons and equipment for He Laifu, Ouyang Cheng, and Lu Qingyang: He Laifu's department 20 4-mounted Foguang 3-type flying mines, 30 4-mounted Tianyu 3-type flying mines, 100 4-mounted meteor flying mines, half each of Type 1 and Type 3, and 10 times the ammunition;

Ouyang Chengbu 10 8-mounted Foguang 1-type flying mines, 40 8-equipped Foguang 3-type flying mines,

20 8-pack Tianyu 1-type flying mines, 40 8-pack Tianyu-3 flying mines, 50 times the ammunition;

Luqing Yangbu 10 8-group Foguang 3 type flying mines, 20 8-group Tianyu 1 type flying mines,

40 8-pack Tianyu 3 flying mines, 10 times the ammunition; Each unit also has 1,000 first-aid kits and 1,000 cans of green ointment. In addition, on Tuesday, the dog also brought some Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, Taihu whitebait, crab roe siu mai made by Wang Yu, and sauce elbows made by Zhou Yuzi, and flew to Hengyang on a US military plane.

Tuesday's dog visit to Hengyang was a big event, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, Sun Lianzhong, Luo Zhuoying, Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Wang Yaowu and others came to visit, which made Tuesday dog tired.

On Tuesday, Gou Suo asked Lu Qingyang to go to Changde to meet Ouyang Cheng and He Laifu. Everyone was grateful for the concern of the dog on Tuesday, and the dog on Tuesday was not a child, and after instructing him to kill the enemy bravely, everyone was drunk and dispersed.

Tuesday Dog returned to Hengyang, Tong Jingya has received a lot of ** bigwigs for Tuesday Dog and received a lot of "gifts". On Tuesday, the dog knew that Jing Yukun arranged the corresponding "return gift", which was nothing more than a first-aid kit and green ointment.

Tong Jingya reported again, and another distinguished guest came to visit, but did not report the identity of the visitor.

On Tuesday, the dog hurriedly went to the inner living room to receive him, but saw that the chairman of the committee was sitting there, and Dai Li was accompanying him.

Tuesday Dog hurriedly saluted, and the chairman of the committee was kind to Tuesday Dog, and asked Tuesday Dog to take a seat.

The chairman of the committee was extremely satisfied with Tuesday Dog's sincere and fearful attitude, and praised the recent contribution of Tuesday Dog and Wu Mujun to the war of resistance, and then sighed: "If I have such a good general as Wu Mu, why worry about the immortality!" ”

Tuesday the dog was startled, although he did it on his own, after all, he obeyed the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and nominally he was still a ** part. As the leader of a country, the chairman of the committee put aside the hypocrisy and politeness, and the open and honest Wu Mujun is not subordinate to the status quo of **, which makes Tuesday Dog's hypocrisy look stingy, but some small actions of the national government do make Wu Mujun difficult to accept, but he has to cooperate with **, and finally Tuesday Dog still decided to confess his position.

On Tuesday, the dog hurriedly stood up and replied seriously: "Report to the chairman, although Zhou Wumu is a bastard and stubborn, he is really forced to do so!" However, Zhou Wumu promised to resist wholeheartedly, and did not have any political ambitions, and his heart of loyalty to the country can be learned! ”

The chairman sighed: "Wu Mu doesn't have to explain, I understand your situation!" My Huaxia has fallen apart in recent decades, and finally formed a unity in form, in fact, there are still many factions, intrigue with each other, and deceit, you have also suffered a little in it, some cold, I understand, I understand! But it's also difficult for me, in order to maintain a situation of unanimous resistance, I have to tolerate, coordinate, and balance, and sometimes I have to be a villain, rectify it, and even play with power, it's not easy! However, the situation will be better, we have now completed the formal unity, give me time, and we will slowly reach the spiritual unity! Wu Mu, help me and let the Chinese nation truly unify! ”

On Tuesday, the dog was moved by the sincerity of the chairman of the committee, and swore a solemn statement: "For the reunification of the Chinese nation, Zhou Wumu is willing to smear his liver and brains!" ”

"Good! Sure enough, you are a loyal and brave person, I didn't misread you! I intend to give you the number of the group army and improve your status, so as not to be splinted in the various forces! The chairman of the committee was in a good mood and immediately sealed the official and made a wish to show his sincerity in getting close to him.

"This ......" Tuesday Dog hesitated, not because Tuesday Dog was cunning, but with Tuesday Dog's habit for many years, every major event is always decided by a staff meeting, so he had to reply to the chairman bluntly: "Report to the chairman, according to Wu Mujun's rules, such a major matter must be discussed and decided by the staff committee, and his subordinates dare not undertake it alone!" ”

"I understand, I understand." The chairman of the committee obviously looked a little lost, but he continued to talk: "In our camp, I am most worried about two forces, one is your Wu Mujun, the other is **, I know that your Wu Mujun has no political ambitions, and I can rest assured, but ** is different, they have clear political propositions, and they are political propositions to subvert the social order!" Therefore, the communication between the government and ** has been very difficult, and now in the environment of unanimous resistance, although the same bed and different dreams, after all, it is still the same goal, and it is difficult to say to what extent the communication will be in the future, you have to grasp the proportion! ”

"Yes, Chairman!" On Tuesday, the dog finally understood, it turned out that it was because he was too close to the New Fourth Army, so he hurriedly explained: "The subordinates lack political consciousness and just want to resist with one heart, so all the anti-Japanese forces are considered friendly forces, and in the future, we must consider the problem from a political perspective and pay attention to grasping the proportions of exchanges with friendly forces from all walks of life!" ”

At this time, a young man who was the same age as Tuesday Dog walked into the house, and Dai Li hurriedly stepped forward to introduce that this was the eldest son of the chairman of the committee, who was preparing to organize a "youth army".

On Tuesday, the dog hurriedly said that Wu Mujun was willing to donate 10 Foguang 3 flying mines with 10 times ammunition to the Youth Army, 30 Tianyu 3 flying mines with 10 times ammunition, and 100 meteor flying mines with 10 times ammunition; 30 heavy machine guns, 100 light machine guns, 500 Qiguang submachine guns, 1,000 Qiguang rifles, and 300 people were transferred from the Wumu Military Academy to join the Youth Army......

After the chairman left, the dog felt a big loss on Tuesday and became a philanthropist himself! (To be continued.) )
