The large conference room at the Phoenix Mountain base.

The generals and colonels of the military headquarters of the New Second Army gathered together to listen to the briefing by Ye Zhuhan, chief of the intelligence section.

Ye Zhuhan reported to the leadership about Du Ziqi's meeting with Zhang Fenglan, the liaison officer of the New Fourth Army, and the special commissioner of the Yangtze River Bureau of the Communist Party of China, and said:

"The special task force established by the special service in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has grown rapidly while the Japanese army is empty, and the total strength of the army has now reached more than 15,000 people. Around the Spring Festival, under the planning and command of Dai Li, the Beilu Movement launched successive attacks against the Japanese puppet army, wantonly sabotaged railway and highway communications, and blew up arms and materials, greatly deterring the arrogance of traitors and traitors, and achieving remarkable results. ”

"However, the expansion of the Beejord is not a good thing for us...... After the assassination of Chairman Chiang in the western part of Zhejiang, the Nationalist Government began to suppress us from all sides, and the Secret Service was the vanguard. In Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places, the secret service has launched an all-round suppression of our intelligence department, and a secret stronghold near Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing was recently cracked by the Japanese army, and four intelligence officers were arrested. ”

When Ye Zhuhan said this, his face became extremely ugly.

"Is there any evidence?"

Wu Ming regretted it as soon as he asked.

The intelligence front is full of swords and swords, but everything is underground, and many intelligence agents are single-line contacts with each other, and the depth of concealment is unimaginable to ordinary people, how can people seize the handle?

Dai Li is an intelligence genius, not in the land of western Zhejiang, the intelligence department of the New Second Army and the secret service led by Dai Li are fighting with each other, which is tantamount to an axe in the class.

However, if he can't grasp the handle, Wu Ming can't threaten Dai Li, a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, which is really a headache.

Ye Zhuhan looked resolute and said, "Junza, we will work hard!" ”

Wu Mingzhi said that Ye Zhuhan and his colleagues in the intelligence department were no wonder about this matter, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's continue to talk about the New Fourth Army!" ”

Ye Zhuhan held a breath in his chest, and decided to make a good plan after he went back, and he must save face from the secret service, but he still reported unhurriedly:

"Judging from the information fed back by Director Du, the New Fourth Army is in dire need of weapons and equipment, lack of medicines, and extremely difficult conditions! However, after all, the New Fourth Army was a journey of a hundred battles, and its officers and men were strong-willed and brave in combat, and they were particularly good at guerrilla warfare. As long as there are enough weapons and equipment, once the New Fourth Army penetrates deep behind enemy lines, it will be a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable! ”

Ye Zhuhan paused, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: "By the way, the CCP has informed us of some information, and the actions of the secret service against us should come from Dai Li's handwriting." Dai Li, he ......"

"Okay, I've got it!" Wu Ming interrupted Ye Zhuhan's words. Chiang Kai-shek had an accident during his inspection of Mao Liangwu, and Dai Li's deliberate suppression of the New Second Army in accordance with the old Chiang's will is also the proper meaning of the question. Thinking of this, Wu Ming looked around: "I convened everyone here to discuss the upcoming cooperation between our New Second Army and the New Fourth Army. How can we train our troops and fight against the Japanese puppet army without harming our interests? Let's hear it! ”

"I'm not opposed to cooperating with the New Fourth Army to fight devils together, it's just-"

Long Shaogang frowned: "After more than half a year of continuous operations, all the officers and soldiers are already exhausted, and at the same time, the new recruits have only been assigned to each company, and a lot of training has just begun. The vast majority of the current troops are recruits, and it would be murder to send these recruits who have not undergone rigorous training to the battlefield! ”

"Yes! The old dragon is right! ”

Zhang Dongning echoed: "Since the weapons and equipment supporting Xuzhou were sent to the train, the reserves of the whole army have basically bottomed out. At this time, if we send a large force to fight, I am afraid that the logistics will not be able to keep up. However, if only a small force is sent, it is likely that the desired effect will not be achieved...... Furthermore, how did the food and ammunition pass through the Japanese blockade? ”

The questions that Lao Long and Zhang Dongning talked about were real, and the generals in the hall all frowned and thought carefully when they heard it, and many people looked at Wu Ming.

Wu Ming turned his head to look at the chief of staff who was eager to try: "Ziran, what do you think?" ”

"I think what Deputy Army Commander Long and Chief of Staff Zhang said makes sense...... At this stage, we do not have the ability to launch a large-scale battle with the Japanese army, whether it is the officers and men of the troops or the logistical supply. ”

Dai Ziran stood up and analyzed in detail: "I think we can think about it from another angle...... Since the New Fourth Army is good at guerrilla warfare, we can also dispatch small units to go deep behind enemy lines in the form of companies and platoons to join forces with the New Fourth Army to carry out raid and harassment operations. ”

"Small forces deep behind enemy lines?"

Zhang Ying furrowed her brows, trying to think about Dai Ziran's opinion.

The reason why the New Second Army repeatedly defeated the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield was that in addition to the officers and men who dared to fight hard with their lives, sophisticated weapons and equipment and perfect logistics and supplies were also very crucial. However, if you go deep behind enemy lines and stay away from the rear supplies, you may encounter the Japanese army anytime and anywhere, which is not easy for the New Second Army.

Dai Ziran continued: "In the early stage, we can organize elite troops, in the form of special detachments, go deep behind enemy lines, and work together with the New Fourth Army to fight against the Japanese puppet army, sabotage railway and highway communications, seize ammunition and food supplies, and gradually establish a consolidated base around the mountains and lakes. After the base area is built, we can rotate the troops, and when it grows stronger in the later stage, we can completely let the various base areas be connected together, and the special detachments can gather into a large brigade and regiment-level formation to carry out operations, cooperate with the frontal battlefield, and effectively strike at the enemy! ”

"Wonderful!"

Zhang Dongning clapped his hands and said to Wu Ming appreciatively: "Ziran's idea is good...... The small force is short and capable, has a high degree of flexibility and mobility, and attacks the Japanese puppet army in the occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the form of special operations, which can not only protect themselves, but also play a good role in striking at and weakening the enemy, and the requirements for logistics and supply are not high! ”

"The best part of it is the rotation...... This will have many advantages, as it will not only enable the officers and men of all units to get sufficient rest and recuperation, but also be able to continue to fight and sharpen all units in a difficult environment, which will be very beneficial to the growth of the troops! And in this way, it can also quietly expand the establishment and hide a surprise army behind enemy lines! ”

Long Shaogang nodded again and again: "Ziran's idea is really good!" ”

Dai Ziran glanced at Wu Ming gratefully.

This kind of system of sending small units to go deep behind enemy lines and rotate them was originally discussed by Wu Ming and Dai Ziran, but now Zhang Dongning and Long Shaogang are all due to him, and Dai Ziran can't help but feel a little frightened and ashamed.

And so it was settled.

In less than half a day, the news of dispatching a small force to cooperate with the New Fourth Army quickly reached the ears of officers at all levels throughout the army.

Luo Yuming, the commander of the new Second Division, and Yang Sixian, the commander of the New Third Division, didn't have the heart to eat, and waited in Wu Ming's office early, looking restless.

After lunch, Wu Ming basked in the sun outside for a while, and then returned to the headquarters, and in the corridor he heard a fierce confrontation between the two division commanders.

Luo Yuming's speech was a little ugly: "I said Lao Yang, our new Second Division is wearing the original old number, I think you were also a member of the new Second Division, and you don't want the honor of the army to be lost, right?" This time, a small force was dispatched to attack, and it was simply contracted by our new second division, who made us the first division in the world! ”

Yang Sixian stopped hearing this, this is a master who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he has long wanted to lead the new third division to compete for the position of the first main force. Seeing that Luo Yuming was so ashamed, Yang Sixian snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Old Luo, you are so thick-skinned, it is estimated that the bullets of large-caliber sniper rifles cannot penetrate them...... The new Second Division is the old foundation laid by the military seat, and it also has the credit of the officers and men of our new Third Division. Now you take all the credit for yourself, are you ashamed? ”

Luo Yuming stared at Yang Sixian with his eyes, his mouth bulging like a big bellows, and roared angrily: "You...... Lao Yang, your mouth is really damaged! Isn't your grandson convinced? ”

"I really let you say it right, Lao Tzu is not convinced, our new third division is not convinced by your Lao Tzu's first damage in the world, and his tail is about to go to the sky."

Yang Si first pulled his neck and sneered.

"Don't talk nonsense, the combat effectiveness of our new second division is the strength of your new third division, whether it is combat exploits or training results, your new third division is not enough!" Luo Yuming was extraordinarily proud.

"Whew-"

Wu Ming stood at the door and coughed lightly, and the room, which was still arguing fiercely, suddenly quieted down.

Wu Ming pushed open the door, and saw Luo Yuming and Yang Sixian affectionately hooking their shoulders and backs, and the two looked up at the map on the wall and pointed, as if they were discussing the war fiercely.

Wu Ming ignored the two ruffian leaders, sat back in his chair by himself, reached out and touched it, and found that there was no water in the teacup.

Yang Si first snatched the teacup, carefully replaced it with new tea, brewed it with boiling water, and respectfully sent it to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming pushed the water glass, as if he had just seen the two of them, and asked in surprise, "Hey, why are you two here?" Is something wrong with the troops? ”

"No, nothing at all!"

The two of them shook their heads.

Luo Yuming grinned with a pair of big white teeth and asked with a smile: "Military seat, we have heard that you are going to send a small and capable army into the Japanese-occupied area to fight with the New Fourth Army." Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, our new Second Division is an old unit led by you, with excellent military quality and first-class fighting will, and will definitely be able to successfully complete the task! ”

Yang Sixian patted his chest and said: "Military seat, the backbone of our new third division is separated from the new second division. As long as you give us the task, we will complete it with quality and quantity! ”

"Go, go, you've fought too many battles, and you're proud of the enemy, right? Do you think this sortie will be easy? ”

Wu Ming's face sank suddenly, and he stood up and reprimanded loudly: "Fight behind enemy lines, you can't carry heavy weapons, you may encounter the Japanese puppet army at any time, and you may be betrayed by your fellow countrymen...... The troops that go out to fight not only must have excellent military quality, but also have strict requirements for the commander's ability to adapt to changes in battle. It's ridiculous. ”

"Okay, you two guys don't go back quickly, train the soldiers first, don't wait for the order to be given, but you will be sloppy and ......"

Luo Yuming turned around and left, Yang Si was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Junzao, what do you mean...... Our division also has a part? ”

"I didn't say that!"

Wu Ming scolded with a smile: "But if the task falls on your head, your new third division will not perform well, see what you have to say!" ”

"I promise not to disgrace you!"

Yang Si grinned first, and then slipped away.
