On Tuesday, the dog went to the headquarters every day to preside over the regular meeting, and then went to the troops to inspect it, and most of the time Wang Yu made some delicious dishes to entertain the heads of various departments or meritorious officers and soldiers.
On this day, Zu Jing personally sent a telegram: I am very relieved to hear that Wu Mu has finally become a generation of famous anti-Japanese generals! Meet today! Cai Tingkai
Tuesday Dog held the telegram and cried with joy, this is the person he admires and admires the most, his old chief, mentor, elder, since Tuesday Dog was released from prison, because of Commander Cai Jun After several twists and turns and lost contact, finally got the news, how not to teach people to be excited!
Zu Jing reported General Cai Tingkai's situation in recent years to Tuesday Dog: Commander Cai returned to China since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, first appointed by the chairman of the National People's Congress as a special senator of the base camp, and then injured his left leg in a car accident in Hong Kong to recuperate; after the fall of Guangzhou, he dealt with devils in Guangdong, and this year he was appointed by the chairman of the committee as commander-in-chief of the 16th Group Army. During this period, Cai Tingkai's original wife Peng Huifang died in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and married Ms. Rossio in July this year.
On Tuesday, the dog was overjoyed, and Dai Heng called back: I have been looking forward to the news of Engong for a long time, and I am anxious to visit Engong, looking forward to it! Foolish next week, Wu Mu is courteous
Cai Tingkai called back: Wait for the letter!
On Tuesday, the dog informed Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, He Laifu and others of Cai Tingkai's news, and everyone cheered and went back to prepare for the Jin meeting ceremony to greet the old chief!
Cai Tingkai arrived suddenly, which is the reason why the senior generals must keep their itinerary secret. However, on Tuesday, the dog was ready to meet with the old commander at any time, and he immediately ordered the senior officers of the various departments on standby to report to Xishan, on the one hand, let everyone have a glimpse of the demeanor of this veteran anti-Japanese general in the "1.28 Battle", and on the other hand, he also showed the old commander his achievements.
In Tuesday Dog's private residence, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, and He Laifu, Cai Tingkai's old subordinates, visited the old chief first, and washed the dust for the old chief. Cai Tingkai was embarrassed to see that these old subordinates had now become cadres of the Anti-Japanese War!
Wang Yushi launched his means to offer all kinds of delicious food, Cai Tingkai was full of praise, but as the topic entered the war, these soldiers didn't know how to eat, so they just used all kinds of tactical tactics as accompaniment to wine and food, and drank with pride!
In the evening, it was an expanded family banquet, Zhou Yuzi, Mr. Wang, Zeng Qi, Wang Yu, Wang Ziwei, Hu Zhaoyue also joined in, Cai Tingkai saw that Tuesday Dog, Zhao Dahu and others had a happy family, and he was even more happy, and he was rarely drunk.
Next, Cai Tingkai inspected Wu Mujun's troops and arsenal. Heavy artillery units, armored units, air defense units, cavalry units, sailor units, engineering units, infantry units, communications troops, medical and health units, all available; Qiguang submachine guns, Buddha light flying thunder, meteor flying thunder, javelin flying thunder, motor speedboats, grenade machine guns, heavy shotguns, long shotguns, short shotguns, clay pot lime mines, unheard of, as well as a large number of Western medicine, green ointment, which is eye-catching; Sweat medicine, soul-breaking incense, poisonous mushrooms, and stun bombs are unexpected......
After a few days of visiting, Cai Tingkai praised Tuesday Dog and others, and at the same time secretly praised Tuesday Dog and others for their independent anti-Japanese resistance and non-dependence on the national government. In fact, Cai Tingkai came this time with the entrustment of the chairman of the committee to incorporate Wu Mujun, and promised that Tuesday Dog, Zhao Dahu, and Zeng Qi were all lieutenant generals, and others such as Shi Jilun, He Laifu, Xiang Qingyun, Ouyang Cheng, Liu Maoer, Lu Ao, Wan Zixiong, Liu Qinghe, Qi Yuankai, Wang Laodun, Liu Chenghai, Wang Yilang, Li Haiyang, Ke Hua and others were all awarded the rank of major general; Wu Zhen, Wu Lei, Wu Ting, Wang Huankai, Li Jinglong, Niu Daojia, Zu Jing, Dai Heng, Wang Ziwei, Ma Qinghan, Shu Jintang, Tong Hai, Wu Dalang, Wang Danyue and others were awarded the rank of colonel......
On Tuesday, Gou, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, Zeng Qi, Xiang Qingyun, and Cai Tingkai privately studied a set of statements, and replied to the chairman of the committee with the phrase "Wu Mujun is in the adjustment stage, and I am afraid that the matter of awarding the title will cause a personnel dispute, so it is not appropriate to incorporate it for the time being, and we can discuss it after Wu Mujun's internal rectification is completed." not only rounded the face of General Cai Tingkai, but also prevented Wu Mujun from being absorbed.
The leaders of the various units have arrived, and they have brought their own troops to show off. On Tuesday, the dog introduced Cai Tingkai one by one, and all the leaders expressed their sincere respect for General Cai Tingkai and presented gifts: a sweaty and bloody horse, a senior staff officer of the anti-war soldiers, a pair of liger puppies, a Japanese car, a pistol for the devil general, and a pair of German binoculars......
The women also had gifts for Cai Tingkai's new wife, Rosio, and asked General Cai to forward them: silk and satin, jewelry, and perfume......
Cai Tingkai came to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the 26th Group Army this time, and by the way, he transferred to the Wumu Army base area, so he had to take up his post as soon as possible, familiarize himself with the troops, and guard Guinan, the only sea passage controlled by the ** squadron.
On Tuesday, of course, the dog wanted to support the old commander, and ordered Wu Lei and Wu Ting to each bring a battalion to follow General Cai Tingkai to take office, as well as 300 cans of green ointment and other medicines.
Wu Lei and Wu Ting's headquarters are all elites drawn from various troops, and they are super luxury equipment. Wu Lei commanded the fire battalion: an artillery company, 9 Type 92 infantry guns, 21 Japanese 1.5-ton trucks, an anti-tank anti-aircraft company, 9 anti-aircraft machine guns, 21 Japanese 1.5-ton trucks, a heavy bombing company, 1,000 high-explosive, grenade meteor flying mines, 54 large vehicles; a transport company, 20 trucks; The guards are all strange light submachine guns.

Cai Tingkai got this heavy gift, and went to the 26th Group Army to take office and increased the bargaining chips, don't look at the small two battalions, the firepower is not inferior to one division of other troops, and the mobility is super strong, it is the only reserve in the first combat sequence.
On Tuesday, Cai Tingkai was still excited to see off Cai Tingkai, and after a fierce battle with the two wives all night, he was still in good spirits the next day to preside over the regular meeting.
In view of the fact that the guerrilla brigades were very tired from continuous operations, and at the same time the production of raw materials was basically maintained on the Xishan side, the large-scale raiding operations of the guerrilla brigades were suspended, and the combat units entered a rest; The recruits of the guerrilla brigades can be trained, garrisoned, and fought in rotations according to the training process, so that the soldiers of the unit can become veterans as soon as possible, and then carry out tactical improvement training; The major brigades of the Xishan Garrison Detachment stepped up training and entered various guerrilla areas to participate in rotational battles according to the situation; The field detachment has many technical arms and a long training cycle, so it is necessary to pay close attention to training, and then conduct more exercises according to the set tactical subjects; In view of the approaching winter and the dry season of the river, the hydropower generation will be reduced, and the factories should seize the time to produce, especially the rope factory, weaving factory, garment factory, match factory, pharmaceutical factory, and equipment factory, which will decide whether to stop production after entering the winter depending on the power supply; Thermal power plants should actively reserve coal to ensure the supply of electricity to explosives factories, soap factories, bullet factories, repair factories, raw material factories and other arsenals in winter; Tong Hai organized the Wumu caravan to reduce the supply or increase the inventory of matches, soap, fishing nets, knives and other commodities, and raise prices or clear the inventory as the situation depends; All units are ready to cooperate with the harvest of evening grain, do a good job of security and vigilance, and at the same time assist the common people in harvesting, drying and storage; The Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department prepared money, and after the harvest, grain prices were lowered, and the prices of chickens, fish, meat, and eggs were low, and a large number of agricultural products were purchased, so as to prepare for the Chinese New Year while improving the food of the troops......
With the arrival of the harvest season, the special operations units of various departments that have been fully rested have become active again: reconnoitring and judging the weaknesses of the nearby devils: headquarters, warehouses, transport teams, artillery towers, strongholds, and roads, preparing targets, as long as the devils send troops to grab food, the special operations forces will attack and defend them; The alert troops and garrison troops planned operational plans to block the devils' traffic and prevent the devils from stealing food.
Xiwei Shouzao is also in full swing planning a grain grabbing plan to ensure the military rations of the troops in East China, Central China, and South China, of which both sides of the Yangtze River are important grain-producing areas, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region is the grain-producing area in East China, but the Wumu Army and its affiliated guerrillas in southern Jiangsu and Jiangbei are extremely difficult, so Xiwei Shouzao decided to suppress the Wumu Army with the main force of the 13th Army, and strive to plunder some grain, mainly to entangle the Wumu Army and prevent it from destroying the grain collection plan; Other garrison units looted military rations on the spot, mainly in Zhejiang, the vicinity of Shanghai, Jiangbei, and northern Jiangsu.
What Nishio Shouzo didn't expect in the battle for food was that although the Wu Mu Army was neither under the control of the China government, nor was it like the New Fourth Army and the China government, the Wu Mu Army was not isolated, and had close cooperation with the New Fourth Army and the China Government Army.
Liu Chenghai, Liu Mao'er, and Liu Qinghe all sent troops, with the special operations units of various ministries as the lead, and other troops followed up, wantonly occupying the county towns, strongholds, and artillery towers of the devils, plundering weapons, equipment, ammunition supplies, and killing and injuring the devil's soldiers.
When the devils could not bear the harassment and transferred their troops back to defense, the Wu Mu army disappeared without a trace in an unimaginable way and speed that the devils could not imagine, while the New Fourth Army and the government army of China took the opportunity to seize a lot of food. Although the devils grabbed some food, they also suffered many casualties among soldiers, and lost a lot of cars, horses, and equipment. For Wu Mujun, it was just a warm-up before the war.
The Devil's Thirteenth Army began to occupy the territory first, and then supervised the common people to harvest the grain and hand it in. However, before the devils occupied, the Wu Mu army had arranged for the common people to destroy bridges and roads, hide carts and boats, and the devils collected a large amount of grain but could not transport it back!
Wu Mujun took the opportunity to attack the devil's temporary grain station, and then organized the people to grab the grain and collect it. The devil is in the light, and Wu Mujun is in the dark, so after half a month, the devil has suffered a lot of casualties, but he hasn't gotten much food. As for the grain depots of the Wumu Army, they were all in the core base area of the Wumu Army, and the garrisons with heavy firepower and the peripheral troops attacked and harassed, and the devils could not even occupy the edge of the base area.
Under the guidance of the special operations units dispatched by the Wu Mu Army, the Third Theater also launched guerrilla warfare, raid warfare, and sabotage warfare, which not only caused heavy losses to the Devil's garrison troops, which were short of troops, and intercepted a large amount of grain, but also took advantage of the situation to pick up many railways and bomb Devil's airport. Gu Zhutong has fought all his life, and he has never been so easy, and Ouyang Cheng, who was invited to plan the battle plan, was worshiped as a god by the officers of the Third War Zone. Of course, Wu Mujun and the Third War Zone have always been fair trades, and Gu Zhutong gave Wu Mujun more than 100 tons of fuel, 10 heavy trucks, and 20 tons of explosives, compensating Wu Mujun for more than 300 casualties, and more than 500 meteor mines, javelin mines, and other ammunition losses.
With enough food, Wu Mujun exchanged for brewing equipment, and began to brew a large amount of alcohol and acetic acid, which were sold to the New Fourth Army and the ** troops in Jiangbei in exchange for coal, grain, and medicinal materials.
Wu Mujun made every effort to build a military industrial base, develop various factories, produce various military materials for the anti-Japanese forces, and also exchange a large amount of gold, silver, various materials and raw materials, and at the same time integrate various industries of Wu Mujun.
