Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 175

In the past, or the previous political commissars, Liang Daring would not have this procedure at all, whether it was when he was a guerrilla in the past, or after he was later expanded into an independent regiment, he Liang Daring had the final say on major and minor matters, but now, Liang Daring felt that it was necessary for Shu Tongwen to also talk to the brothers below, because he was the political commissar of the Qingyang Independent Regiment.

Shu Tongwen nodded, stepped forward and said: "Comrades, let me add, our purpose is not simply to break through, but to attract the attention of the Kuomintang army, as much as possible to attract the Kuomintang troops from all directions, so that the main force can break through smoothly, so we must exert great strength, we must make Shangguan Yunxiang believe that we are the main force of the New Fourth Army"

After Shu Tongwen finished speaking, Liang boldly waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

After all the officers left, Shu Tongwen took out a letter from his jacket pocket and handed it to Liang Daring, saying: "Old Liang, this is the suicide note I just wrote haode, and there are several relics of mine in it, if I die, please find a way to find my parents, and give this letter and a few relics in the envelope to the two old people, so that they can leave some thoughts." ”

Speaking of zuihou, Shu Tongwen's expression was inevitably a little gloomy, and his tone was a little low.

In front of the people just now, Shu Tongwen didn't show it, but in front of Liang Daring, there was no need to hide it, tonight's battle, the Qingyang Independent Regiment shouldered a very dangerous task, the whole regiment plus a battalion of the teaching corps that had just been added, more than 3,000 people, Zuihou can stand out half of it, it is already a very good result, the biggest possibility is that the whole regiment died on the way to break through.

As the political commissar of the regiment, Shu Tongwen decided to personally act as the commando captain and act as a pioneer for the whole regiment.

Commando Captain, this is even more dangerous, the probability of death is more than nine out of nine, and it is a miracle to survive

Shu Tongwen didn't expect a miracle to happen to him, so he wrote a suicide note early and packed some belongings together, so that he wouldn't even have time to leave a word for his parents when the matter came.

Liang Daring didn't reach out to take the envelope, but asked with a glare, "Ah Wen, are you Yu?" ”

Shu Tongwen's guard was quick and said, "Regiment commander, political commissar, he will personally act as the commando leader." ”

"Clean nonsense" Liang Daring said angrily, "I, the regiment commander, are not dead yet, where is your turn to be a political commissar to be a commando captain?" ”

Shu Tongwen was not anxious with Liang Dada, and said with a smile: "Lao Liang, you are the regiment commander, your position is in the regiment headquarters, you have to be responsible for commanding the whole regiment to fight, and I, the political commissar, usually have to take care of everything, but when it comes to fighting, there is nothing to do, just be the commando leader." ”

"Fart, let's talk about it a long time ago, the regiment commander is in charge of the war, and the political commissar is in charge of life, don't you be more and more ruined."

"Old Liang ......" Shu Tongwen wanted to say more, but Liang was bold but impatient, and yelled at Wang Xiaomao, "Xiaomao"

"Yes" Wang Xiaomao hurriedly stood upright.

"Look at the political commissar" Liang Daring snorted and said in a deep voice, "Don't let him go anywhere"

"Yes" Wang Xiaomao agreed, and immediately stood in front of Shu Tongwen.

(Dividing Line)

Shangguan Yunxiang called Zhang Wenqing to the headquarters and scolded a bloody dog.

To put it mildly, Shangguan Yunxiang's group army performed really badly, two armies and six divisions, nearly 80,000 people, besieging the New Fourth Army less than 10,000 people, fierce fighting for seven days and nights, no progress not to mention, in yesterday afternoon's offensive, the 79th Division also let the New Fourth Army fight a counterattack, but was eaten up a regiment, Zhang Wenqing is also the commander of the 79th Division, Shangguan Yunxiang of course has to find him.

"Zhang Wenqing, how did you do it?" Shangguan Yunxiang glared at Zhang Wenqing and asked angrily, "Zhan Zhongyan's 40th Division, Tang Yunshan's Division is weak in combat effectiveness, after all, after they withdrew from the Jiujiang and De'an battlefields, they haven't replenished their weapons and equipment much, but your 79th Division has been replenished four times, why is it like this?" , you tell me what the hell is going on? ”

After the 79th Division withdrew from the Jiujiang and De'an battlefields, it did replenish four times before and after, but the weapons and ammunition replenished each time were extremely limited, all plus one, that is, the ammunition reserve for a medium-scale battle, however, even such a pitiful ammunition was also stolen by the battalion commanders below to sell for money, Zhang Wenqing also wanted to manage this chaos, but he was powerless to stop it.

In the final analysis, Zhang Wenqing could not change the military salary, and without the military salary, it would be impossible to stop the officers and men from selling arms.

Some people slander that the Communist Party buys weapons and ammunition from the national army, but that is pure nonsense, the Communist Party is so poor, where can it have spare money to buy weapons and ammunition from the national army? It is really ironic to say that most of the arms sold from the Nationalist Army fell into the hands of Little Japan, then changed hands to the puppet army, and then fell into the hands of the Communist Party.

It is precisely for this reason that the national army in the battlefield behind the enemy line can only sell itself after selling out of weapons and ammunition and having nothing to sell, and defect to the puppet government of Wang as a puppet army, while the Communist Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army cannot defeat the Japanese army, but by eating the flesh of the puppet army and drinking the blood of the puppet army, Zuihou has grown stronger little by little.

Because of the lack of food and salary, the national army not only sells weapons and ammunition in the battlefield behind enemy lines, but also sells weapons and ammunition in the national army, which has long been an open secret, but Shangguan Yunxiang pretended not to know, and he had to blame Zhang Wenqing for yesterday's defeat, Zhang Wenqing didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't just say that his mother's soldiers had already sold ammunition, right?

Shangguan Yunxiang scolded for a long time, and he was also a little tired, and when he was about to drink saliva, a fierce gunfire suddenly sounded outside.

The gunfire came very suddenly, and after it rang out, it never stopped, and there was a lot of more and more intense jiashi, after a while, there was even a faint explosion sound, Shangguan Yunxiang and Zhang Wenqing's faces changed suddenly, and the two of them almost rushed out of the front-line headquarters with their front and back feet.

Shangguan Yunxiang's front-line headquarters was built on a high ground, and when he looked down condescendingly, he saw that a fire had bloomed in the northwest direction of Maolin, and there were dazzling ballistic tracers shuttling under the night sky.

To the west of Maolin, Tang Yunshan's division was in charge, and soon Tang Yunshan sent a messenger to report that it was violently attacked by the main force of the New Fourth Army, and asked Shangguan Yunxiang to immediately send reinforcements from all directions to reinforce it, Tang Yunshan even made it clear without blushing that his troops would hold out for half an hour at most, and if the reinforcements did not arrive after half an hour, the division would collapse.

"The main force of the New Fourth Army?" Shangguan Yunxiang held the telescope in his hand, and the expression on his face was a little uncertain.

It is not surprising that the main force of the New Fourth Army will break through the encirclement, the New Fourth Army has no other troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it is too far to transfer troops from Jiangbei to Maolin to rescue, first, the road is too far, and second, it will have to pass through the blockade line of the Japanese army in the middle, and it is too late at all, so the main force of the New Fourth Army trapped in Maolin has only one choice to break through, if they do not break through, Shangguan Yun will feel strange on the contrary.

However, what puzzled Shangguan Yunxiang was that the New Fourth Army actually chose to break through to the west?

It stands to reason that the New Fourth Army should choose to break through to the east, because east of Maolin is Tao Guang's P Army responsible for interception, and although Tao Guang's 28th Army also participated in this operation, it was not very active, and the blockade of the New Fourth Army was not very strict.

The New Fourth Army did not choose to go east, but chose to go west, do they plan to return to Yunling?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunxiang's face sank suddenly, most of the rear hands of the First Group Army were arranged between Maolin and Ningguo, so even if the New Fourth Army broke through from Maolin, as long as they continued to walk in the direction of Ningguo and Liyang, they would still not be able to escape from Shangguan Yunxiang's palm, but if the New Fourth Army chose to return to Shiyunling, the situation would immediately become delicate.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunxiang couldn't hold his breath anymore, and immediately asked Zhang Wenqing to rush back, commanded the 40th Division and the 79th Division to quickly reinforce the first division, and strictly ordered Zhang Wenqing to block the New Fourth Army no matter what, and never let them return to Yunling.
