[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 466: The situation is sinister (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Although what Ma Zheng said is very reasonable, everyone also believes that it is difficult for a little devil to take advantage of him with his ability. But out of concern for him, Yun Jian still couldn't help but say: "No matter how good your reasons are, but I, the political commissar of the military region, still have the right to oppose your plan to send troops, if the commander is still the commander of the original small guerrilla detachment, or the obscure little officer, I will not say anything." It doesn't matter if you die or are captured, at most our Eighth Route Army has lost a junior officer. ”

"But now you are no longer as simple as a small front-line officer, commander of the Suicha Military Region! Lieutenant General of the National Government Army! China's number one warrior! The Japanese army regards you as the biggest enemy, and the people at home are your national monument to the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance. Every success you have can bring unparalleled confidence and the belief that the anti-Japanese resistance will win to the country and the nation, and regard you as a hero who can turn the tide. ”

"So you must not have any accidents now, if it weren't for the fact that Shandong really needs a senior leader who is decisive and has excellent command ability to clean up the mess, otherwise the Party Central Committee will definitely not transfer you to the south, in a sense, your existence is no less important than the role of five divisions. Therefore, I will not agree to your plan, and I don't think the Party Central Committee will agree to it either. ”

Yun Jian knew that Ma Zheng was a maverick, and it was generally difficult to change what he decided, as long as he decided that it was right, then even if the bigwigs in Yan'an objected to it, it might not make him change his mind, so during the period of serving as the political commissar of the military region, Yun Jian has always been very cooperative with Ma Zheng's work and opinions, and rarely faces him, especially in such a large-scale meeting to oppose Ma Zheng's opinions.

But this time it was different, it was a matter of Ma Zheng's own life and death, so Yun Jian simply brought Yan'an out. But despite this, Yun Jian was still not sure if he could say Ma Zheng.

Before Ma Zheng could speak, Xu Yinghui, chief of staff and minister of military intelligence, on the side, said: "Commander, political commissar, don't quarrel, I know the whole story of the Japanese army's public security and suppression operations in Shandong. From a professional point of view, this time the Japanese army fought very beautifully, the four divisions of the Japanese army launched an attack on the Kuomintang Sulu theater and our base area at the same time, skillfully coordinated, and controlled the rhythm of the battlefield very well, and in just three months, the anti-Japanese forces in Shandong were defeated, and some of these things are worth pondering! ”

"Oh, Lao Xu, you are engaged in intelligence, we have few sources, and our knowledge is relatively narrow, tell me your judgment!" Yun Jian said in a deep voice.

Xu Yinghui nodded and said: "The reason why the anti-Japanese forces in Shandong were defeated by the Japanese army in such a short period of time is that in addition to the objective fact that there is a huge difference in strength between China and Japan, in my opinion, the intelligence of the Japanese army is extremely accurate. Some time ago, our intelligence officers intercepted a telegram from the Japanese 12th Army to the headquarters of the North China Front, reporting that they had defeated the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement and suppression operation in the Taixi area, and even wounded Li Yu, the commander of the Shandong Column, and were chasing Li Yu and Guo Hongtao, the ******** of Shandong. ”

What does this mean? This shows that the Japanese army not only knew the personnel establishment of our Eighth Route Army in Shandong, but also had a clear understanding of their movements. This is very unbelievable, you must know that the seat of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government changes from time to time, and the troops below rarely know that the provincial government will be stationed in that village tomorrow, and the Japanese army knows that they can know their exact location, and also send elites to encircle and suppress it, this matter is chilling to think about. ”

Ma Zheng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Do you suspect that there are spies in the senior headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong?" ”

"Well, the Eighth Route Army in Shandong is different from our military region, we have big cities like Guisui, Baotou, and Jining as our support, and it is relatively simple for the Japanese army to find our command center. However, the anti-Japanese forces in Shandong did not even have a decent county seat, and their stations were generally in the mountains or villages. I know Comrade Guo Hongtao, the ******** of Shandong, we have worked together in Yan'an, I know him, he is a very capable person, he will not be unguarded against the Japanese, but even so, he still did not escape the siege of the Japanese army, so I suspect that the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government are likely to be mixed with Japanese spies. ”

Then Xu Yinghui continued: "Therefore, I think it is inappropriate for the commander to go south this time with only a thousand people. Therefore, I suggest that the commander bring more troops with him when he goes south, and at the same time reduce his contact with the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and it is best not to contact them until he has the strength to protect himself. ”

Xu Yinghui's words shocked everyone, they all knew that the situation in Shandong might not be good, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult and dangerous. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed a bit unsafe for Ma Zheng to only take 1,000 people south this time, and they have spoken out against it here.

Ma Zheng thought about it and felt that what Xu Yinghui said was very reasonable. However, leading 1,000 men was the best number of troops he had come up with after carefully synthesizing all the information, and it would be difficult to carry out his work after going to Shandong, and if he had more, it would be easy to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

"The strength of the two battalions is indeed a bit small, so let's transfer the veterans of one battalion from the integrated first division, plus the original two battalions, and combine them into one regiment. If we send 300 more people from the special operations brigade to the south, we will be able to protect ourselves with these troops. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "Comrades, it's not that I don't want to bring more troops, but there are too many blockade lines of the Japanese puppet army along the way. From Tianzhen to the south to the Luxi area, it was the defense area of the Japanese army, and after careful calculation, it was most appropriate for the troops to go south to be controlled under 1,000 men, and no more than 2,000 men at most. Moreover, the target of the concentration of troops in the south is too large and easy to expose, and a regiment has reached its limit. ”

"Commander, who are you going to take with you, senior officer?" Yun Jian asked again.

"There is no division-level military and political cadre, and two brigade-level officers are bringing, namely Xu Weiguo, commander of the second brigade, and Xie Wensheng, commander of the ninth brigade." Ma Zheng said.

"Xu Weiguo is an old man in our military region, and he has been following the commander before, so it's okay. But Xie Wensheng has just joined the military region for less than a year, and he was still a member of the 61st Army of the Jinsui Army before, will there be a problem in going south on his behalf? Yun Jian said.

"It's okay, although Xie Wensheng was born in the Jin Sui Army and has been a prisoner, but this person is indeed a man, bloody and has a good command level. What's more, Xie Wensheng is from Shandong, and it is said that his clan is still very powerful in Shandong, so I will think about taking him south, this guy in the province always wants to avenge the old governor Li Fuying. Ma Zheng said.

"What about the weapons and equipment, do you want to bring some assault rifles?" Yun Jian asked again.

"No, the weapons and equipment are mainly based on the standard equipment of the Japanese army, and the special combat teams have also changed back to the old equipment. Although the new equipment is huge, but the caliber of ammunition is different, it is difficult to replenish, when you first arrive in Shandong, it may be difficult to produce your own ammunition for a while, it is better to bring some good supplementary equipment! Ma Zheng said.

"What the commander said makes sense, Japanese-made weapons are not bad, let's just Japanese-made weapons!" Yun Jian said.

Xu Yinghui said: "Commander, I recommend a person to you, this person's name is Wang Dechuan, the leader of the third group of our Military Intelligence Department, a native of Shandong, has a very good set of intelligence, the commander can take him and his team to the Shandong region, with him, it will not take long to set up an intelligence network in the Shandong region." ”

"Well, I'm short of such talents! Let him report to the headquarters of the military district tomorrow! Ma Zheng said.

"Okay!"

"Commander, in addition to the intelligence network, I suggest that you also bring a batch of medical personnel from the military district, after all, this time you will go south to the mountains and the road, in case there is any discomfort!" Yun Jian said.

"Medical staff don't need to bring it, just have the health workers of the army there, but you have to bring some special drugs in case you need them." Ma Zheng said.

Subsequently, at the suggestion of everyone, Ma Zheng readjusted his plan and reported it to Yan'an. (To be continued.) )
