Chapter 419: Counterattack (4)
Tojo Hideki got up and left, he didn't believe how powerful Yan'an would be at all, in his heart, everything was because of Ishihara's wrong strategic command, if he let himself command, it would definitely be a different picture, thinking about it, Tojo Hideki's heart resentment was like a tide constantly surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ishihara sighed as he watched Hideki Tojo leave, he knew that his judgment was hard for others to believe.
Anan is a very self-aware person, he knows Ishihara's talents, but he can't believe that the legendary Freemasons will support Yan'an, he looked at the back of Tojo Hideki, turned around and asked, "Ishihara-kun, what is the basis for what you say?" ”
Ishihara shook his head and said, "Think about it, in the weapon intelligence we have now obtained from Yan'an, those weapons have not yet appeared in other countries, and we all thought that they were provided by the Soviet Union at the beginning, but from the conflict between us and the Soviet Union, many new weapons of the Soviet Union have been exposed, but there are no weapons in Yan'an, especially the whistling heavy artillery, there is not even a shadow, if the Soviet Union uses Yan'an as a testing ground for weapons, then it can now be determined that the experiment is successful, and these weapons should be equipped by themselves." , but what about reality? So I judge that the Soviet Union is definitely not a funder of Yan'an. I'll continue to let the intelligence agencies find out about this. ”
The others nodded as they listened, feeling a shadow loom over them. If it is really Europe and the United States that are supporting Yan'an, what do these people want to do?
- Nanchang
"How's the battle going?" Gu Zhu, who hurried back from Huangshan, hurriedly asked at the headquarters, and Chen Yi immediately said, "Two days ago, the Japanese army in Jiujiang suddenly dispatched in large numbers to our Nanchang, and has now exchanged fire with our army. However, Jiujiang is above the Yangtze River, and Wuhan and Shanghai are approaching at dawn, so it is difficult to say when we will transfer troops to attack if we find that our army is empty. ”
Gu Zhutong nodded and said, "This is a plan of the Japanese army, the chairman of the committee has already called, asking us to help the Ninth War Zone, if Changsha is lost, the overall situation is unimaginable." ”
"But... But now it is difficult for us to protect ourselves in the third theater, and..."Chen Yi took a step forward and said in a low voice, "The New Fourth Army has just announced its reorganization, and it is said that the speed of reorganization is extremely fast, and the momentum is not only lower than before Huangshan, but it is getting higher and higher, especially in the past, they still had some scruples, not that we did not accept the source of troops in the territory we allocated to them, but now everyone will not refuse to come as long as they are willing to resist Japan, and their strength has increased rapidly." ”
Gu Zhu Tongxi said, "Isn't this a good thing? I don't believe that Dai Li and the Chen brothers will not send people to infiltrate, and we will all know what happens in the New Fourth Army at that time. Besides, what is the difference between a soldier without a weapon and a farmer? ”
Chen Yi stomped her feet and said, "I thought the same way at first.... That, I also sent people in, only to know that it is not the same thing at all, the newcomers are said to be three months of recruit training at the beginning, military training during the day, politics at night, and also learn to write, the recruit training of this big head soldier is like a non-commissioned officer cadet, every day he says why the poor have always been poor, why the country is not rich and strong, why do the Japanese dare to beat us, so that those who go in are excited to howl like wolves, I sent a few mud legs, only a few days, I wrote a letter to me to disconnect! ”
Gu Zhutong smiled and said, "Look at you, don't you know how demagogic the Red Party is?" You have to send those who are well-off, preferably those whose family members have been harmed by the Red Party. ”
Chen Yi said helplessly, "Sent, three of them were sent back, their New Fourth Army has its own set of screening methods, and it is very simple, that is, to hold a grievance meeting, saying how miserable he was persecuted by this society, how exploited by the landlords, where did those people say anything, doesn't this mean that they forged their identities and were thrown back with bad intentions." ”
Gu Zhutong shook his hand and said, "Let Dai Li and them do this kind of thing, what we have to do now is to find a way to support the Ninth War Zone, do you have any ideas?" ”
Chief of Staff Huang Baitao said in a low voice, "Gu Gong, I'm thinking, this task of rescuing the Ninth War Zone can be said to be extremely difficult to do, this mountain is high and the road is far away, in case of failure, the chairman of the committee will definitely blame us and others, if Changsha is preserved, the credit will not be ours!" ”
Huang Baitao was originally a herald under the Beiyang warlord Li Chun, and later successively took refuge in Zhang Zongchang, Xu Yuanquan and others, and finally defected to Jiang Zhong, which can be said to be a miscellaneous card in the miscellaneous cards, he knew that he was not a descendant of Huangpu, and there was no backer, his position was unstable, and his life was difficult, so he only relied on his military exploits to gain a firm foothold, so in the war, the war was to be the first, and the retreat was also cautious, and he fought to the death. At this time, he was the chief of staff of the Third Theater of Operations, and in the Battle of Huangshan, he commanded properly and was gradually trusted by Gu Zhutong.
Gu Zhutong nodded and said, "That's true, but you can't help it, you have to save it." ”
Huang Baitao squinted his eyes and pointed to the south and said, "Isn't this a strong army?" Let them go, if we have merit, we will sell them a good, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
Gu Zhutong's eyes lit up, and he immediately reacted to who Huang Baitao was talking about, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I will immediately give the order for the Youth Army to set off, which is the closest unit of the Youth Army to Changsha?" ”
Huang Baitao immediately said, "It's Hu Lian's department, the youth army has money and people, and it is developing rapidly, this Hu Lian has a small 20,000 people in one division, and it is in Ji'an, and it was transferred to prevent the Nanchang war." ”
Gu Zhutong snorted and said, "Then let Hu Lian be the vanguard, isn't Hu Lian said to be the best at fighting defensive battles?" Then let him fight, and it can be regarded as a good use of people..."
- Donghai County
After a series of explosions, the city gate of Donghai County was blown into countless sawdust, and then, the fire of the machine guns turned to the head of the city, the charge horn sounded, the New Fourth Army in the trenches jumped out of the trenches like a fly, and a cloud ladder stood on the city wall, and the soldiers first made a grenade, and then flew on the wall, and within half an hour, the Japanese military flag in Donghai County was lowered.
Lin Sanhu and Chen Yi put down the binoculars together, Lin Sanhu nodded at Chen Yi and smiled, "The soldiers of the New Fourth Army are really well-trained, and this battle is fought cleanly!" ”
Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's been so long, and I finally fought a decent battle, and I finally spit out a bad breath!" Let's go ahead and follow the plan. ”
Lin Sanhu nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Then let's go to the city first, hold a pledge meeting, and raise the banner of our Red Party in northern Jiangsu!" ”
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's make the East China Sea a new beginning for our New Fourth Army." I have already sent a telegram to Comrade Liu Dake, and now we will act separately from Comrade Liu Dake, and Liu Dake, Gao Jingting, and others will attack Chaohu Lake, open up the Chaohu base area, and then develop in the direction of the Huai River, and when we can connect them, the entire Huai River valley will be our base area. ”
——
Outside the city of Donghai County, a group of New Fourth Army stood neatly on a plain, a strong heavy machine gun, a mortar, antiaircraft gun, and battle defense artillery were placed in the forefront, the bayonets on the rifles flashed dazzling under the sunlight, the blue sky and the red flag were constantly rolling in the wind, everyone looked at the temporary high platform, and the surrounding people looked at this unit curiously, not knowing what these people wanted to do.
Chen Yi said loudly on the high platform: "Comrades! Comrades!! Your commanders and fighters and political commissars should have told you a lot, time is urgent, I will say it simply, the War of Resistance has been fought for three years, we have countless relatives and friends fell on this war, why do we gather here, not because our Chinese are as warlike as life, but because the devil is as fierce as a ghost! Who of us doesn't have parents? Who doesn't have a wife and daughter? Who wants to be ravaged by the enemy? Comrades!! Grab your steel guns, clench your fists, and drive little Japan out of China and back into their womb!! I command!! ”
"Huh!" All the New Fourth Army stood in unison.
Chen Yi said sharply: "The New Fourth Army - go to war!" ”
"Bang bang" With the sound of footsteps, the troops began to pull out, Lin Sanhu came to Chen Yi's side and said, "According to our agreement, then we will part ways like this?" ”
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Lianyungang will ask you 115th Division, our New Fourth Army will directly attack Huai'an and Yancheng." ”
Lin Sanhu said hehehe, "I have fought a lot of battles since the Jinggangshan period, but this is the first time that this port has been fought, if I remember correctly, this should be the first time that our entire Chinese Red Party army has attacked the enemy's port city, right?" I think there will be a lot to gain. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help asking, "I want to ask, do you have any plans?" Although this Lianyungang is not big, there are also Japanese warships, and there will be Japanese naval aircraft, how are you going to fight this battle? ”
Lin Sanhu pointed to Jiang Cheng who was walking over and said, "Isn't this our 203 here?" ”
Jiang Cheng looked at the two of them pointing at him, talking and laughing, and walked over with Li Qian and asked, "Two leaders, what are you talking about?" So happy? ”
Lin Sanhu took out a handful of soybeans, handed them to Jiang Cheng and said, "Speaking of Lianyungang, Chen Yi is worried that our 115th Division will not be able to take it." ”
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "This must be taken down!" Although the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu is not much, but due to the existence of the canal, the Japanese army in Beiping and Shanghai can come to reinforcements at any time, so it needs a place to attract Japanese firepower, this Lianyungang is an important port in northern Jiangsu, if we take it, the devil will not have to fight with us, this can attract firepower for us to liberate other cities, and secondly, it can be regarded as supporting the frontal battlefield. ”
Chen Yi hurriedly pulled Jiang Cheng and said to Jiang Cheng, "This Lianyungang is not easy to fight, there are warships!" We are all rifle, machine gun mortars, and the battleship may not be able to fight, so my opinion is that it is best to fight, and if we can't hit it, we can also change the way. ”
Lin Sanhu waved his hand and said, "No!!" No!! Just beat him, hehe, have you forgotten that unit? ”
Chen Yi reacted immediately, he waved his hand and said, "That drone is good, but when the devil counterattacks, our drone can't fly over the sea." ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, General Chen Yi, don't worry, I've already arranged it, as long as I can take Lianyungang, I don't have to worry about things on this waterway." ”
Chen Yi still looked worried.
Lin Sanhu said: "Chen Yi, your New Fourth Army and the 203 comrades are still a little less contacted, and you will know later, if it weren't for our Marxism not believing in ghosts and gods, then I would definitely think that the 203 comrades are immortals." ”
Chen Yi said helplessly, "Okay, then I'm looking forward to your good news." ”
Chen Yi took the first division of the New Fourth Army (Ye Fei) and the second division (Su Yu) to Huai'an, and the direction of Yancheng was attacked by Peng Xuefeng with the fourth division, while Lin Sanhu took the troops of the 115th division and turned to Lianyungang, and the battle was about to break out.
Lianyungang was lost during the Battle of Xuzhou, when the Japanese army attacked by sea and land, mobilized a large number of warships and aircraft, bombed Lianyungang indiscriminately, and the defending generals General Zeng Xigui and General Wan Yi fought desperately and bloody battles with the Japanese devils in Sunjiashan, Dongxilian Island and Damajian and other places, and repelled the Japanese attack several times. It lasted for more than nine months before it was lost because of the lack of ammunition and food.
Because Lianyungang is located between Shandong and Jiangsu, facing Liandao, backed by Yuntai Mountain, the port conditions are good, and there is a railway, it has become one of the most important strongholds of the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu, stationed here is the 21st Division, the division commander Ojin Junping.
The 21st Division was established after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, with only three infantry wings and one wing each of engineers, artillery, and heavy personnel, and at this time in Lianyungang was an infantry wing, but there was also a brigade of marines and some naval warships.
After reading the information, Lin Sanhu sat down in front of the map, ate soybeans, Wang Bingzhang said to Lin Sanhu, "We finished fighting here in the East China Sea, Lianyungang must have received the news that we have a large group of people and horses, but they should not have figured out our specific situation, so our staff suggested that we fight Mussels first, we already have guerrillas in Mussels, and the situation is relatively familiar, Mussels only have a squadron of devils, we will send one or two regiments first, Mussels are in an important position, the Japanese army will definitely not give up, and will definitely reinforce, Let's go back to help! In this way, Lianyungang will be easy to fight in the end. ”
Lin Sanhu nodded and shook his head and said, "Fighting Lianyungang is different from fighting inland cities, we have to consider the naval and air forces of the Japanese army, 203, if we take Lianyungang, how long will it take you to ensure our safety on the sea?" ”
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "The slowest will not be more than a week." (To be continued.) )
