Chapter 104: Garrison Chao County

As soon as it was dawn, Xue Ru had already left the riverbank, and there was an explosion on the side of the Yangtze River, and more than 20 boats and rafts were sunk. Although everyone felt that it was a pity, Xue Ru couldn't help it, that kind of small steamer and patrol boat couldn't face the big warships of the Yangtze River Fleet. Besides, Xue Ru has no fuel and no navy, and these people who operate small steamers can only be regarded as able to sail.

Therefore, after all the troops landed on the shore, Xue Ru ordered the special combat team to blow up the boat by the river, and the troops entered Hexian, where Song Xilian and they were waiting for Xue Ru.

When Xue Ru arrived, the senior generals of the provisional army, the officers above the brigade commander were all there, and seeing the personnel so neat, Xue Ru was stunned: "Everyone, it's not noon, why haven't you rested?" ”

Song Xilian said: "We also want to rest, you see, this is an order of the military committee." ”

Xue Ru took it and looked at it, but didn't say anything, he felt as if Chiang Kai-shek had already made arrangements, otherwise how could there be such a fast speed. As soon as the troops arrived in Hexian, the order was given. Put down the telegram and said, "What is Commander Song going to do?" ”

Song Xilian smiled: "This is inevitable, it seems that we have to leave, and we can only cooperate with you on the battlefield in the future." ”

Xue Ru nodded: "No way, but we will always see each other again." ”

The Military Council ordered that the 36th and 51st Divisions immediately march towards Xinyang, enter the Jiangxian area, and be reorganized into the 1st Theater after receiving repairs. Yu Shiji was still the commander of the 74th Army, and he was already waiting for the arrival of the two divisions in Jiangxian County.

The 36th Division went to Luoyang, Henan Province with Song Xilian to replace the commander of the 71st Army, and the 36th Division and the 88th Division were combined into the 71st Army. It was a division formed by the merger of the 87th and 88th, which was included in the 71st Army, with Song Xilian as the commander. Xiao Shanling returned to Wuhan to make other arrangements. The Snow Fox Corps was temporarily placed under the command of the Third Theater of Operations, stationed in Chaohu, repaired and waiting for orders, and the temporary army number was revoked.

This is inevitable, since it is a temporary army, it can be revoked at any time, and they are also temporarily formed in Nanjing.

Xue Ru has no opinion on this arrangement, she may also have an opinion, and the important thing is that it is useless to have an opinion. Xue Ru arranged for these people to rest, and asked Xiang Wenbin to go to Chaohu to contact the local government and security forces to arrange a station.

said to Wu Yuzhao: "Contact Commander Xue and ask what's going on, why did we stay and garrison Chaohu." ”

Xue Ru actually didn't have anyone on it, and he didn't know some of the decisions of the military committee, and the order did not come from the third theater, but the military committee. The only person who can ask is Xue Yue, besides, Wu Yuzhao's younger brother is still by Xue Yue's side.

Wu Yuzhao said: "I think something is wrong, why didn't we have an order, but stationed in Chaohu." I asked Yu Qiang to see what was going on. ”

Xue Ru nodded, she didn't understand, it stands to reason that Snow Fox is now the strength of a division, and the 36th and 88th Divisions were organized into the 71st Army to enter Shangqiu, which was to enter the first war zone. The 74th Army entered Jiangxian County and was included in the Ninth War Zone, but it stayed in the Third War Zone, and the Third War Zone had no combat mission in Jiangbei.

Around Hefei, central Anhui and Huaibei are the places of the fifth war zone, and in this way, Snow Fox has become a three-way army. What to do with your own military salaries and food? This can be done from the local government, but what about weapons and ammunition? Who to go to? In this battle, from Nanjing to the present, the snow fox has also run out of ammunition and food, and must be replenished, otherwise there is no way to fight.

Chuxian, Quanjiao, and Pukou are the 3rd Divisions of the Japanese Army, and Taizhou and Yangzhou are part of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. You really have to think about it yourself.

She had to figure out what that meant as soon as possible. Listening to Wu Yuzhao's words, he nodded and said, "After arranging the station, contact the Third War Zone and ask how to solve our supplies and get replenished as soon as possible." ”

"I understand, I'll do these things quickly, this arrangement, you see if it will work, the first regiment is stationed here in Hexian, you can monitor the Japanese army in the direction of Quanjiao, the second regiment is stationed in Hanshan, the third regiment is in Wuwei, and the general team is stationed in Chaohu, so that you can monitor the situation along the Yangtze River."

Xue Ru smiled: "Are you very greedy?" ”

Wu Yuzhao was also happy: "That's no way, we have nothing here, and if we don't have any territory, we won't starve to death?" ”

Xue Ru nodded: "I don't know much about these, you can study and decide with the deputy corps." ”

Wu Yuzhao understands better than Xue Ru that although there is no warlord division on the surface of the unified anti-Japanese war, the garrison of the troops is also their own territory, and the money and food must be solved locally.

On the day Xue Ru arrived at Chaohu Lake, he dealt with the banquet of Li Danian, the magistrate of Chao County. She wasn't used to that, so she just dealt with it. Li Danian did not be too polite, these central army units are not local armed forces, do not need too much interference from the local government, and have no right to manage people.

Now is the time of war, of course, the status of the soldiers is different, the Snow Fox Brigade is even more famous, and it is a good thing to have such a strong unit in Chao County.

The number of Snow Fox is very special, there are few troops with strange names as numbers, and the Central Army is all unified numbers. This unit must have a great background, so Li Danian also took the Chaoxian gentry and celebrities to a banquet for the first time.

Everyone is very curious about Xue Ru, a peculiar character. However, she is a little girl, and if she says that she doesn't drink, others can't do anything.

The troops stopped for three or four days in a row, and everyone was busy with the regimental turnaround, and there were too many things to solve, and the troops were stationed in two or three counties.

Xue Ru said that Wu Yuzhao was greedy, that is, he stationed one regiment in Hexian, and then stationed two regiments separately in Hanshan and Wuwei. With the addition of Chao County, the Snow Fox Corps is equivalent to controlling the places of four counties.

Although the army is not in charge of the place, and this place is under the control of Hefei, the army has its power, and the local government generally does not dare to provoke the army.

There is money and food from four counties to support a snow fox corps, and it is no problem. In the past few days, Xue Ru has nothing to do, the biggest feature of the Snow Fox Corps is that although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs, and they are all departments, and they are completely an independent military organization, and each department has someone in charge.

Xue Ru didn't take power, let others do it, and each regiment was just training the army on its own, and Wu Yuzhao was basically in charge.

Soon, Wu Yuzhao reported that Commander Gu Zhutong of the Third Theater said that the supply money and food of the Snow Fox Corps would be solved locally and go to Shen Zhongliang, the mayor of Hefei. Weapons and ammunition, the Wuhan side will supply them, report the necessary reports to the theater command, and the Wuhan direction will be shipped. Jiangbei is the place of the Fifth War Zone, and if there is anything, you can also discuss it with the Tenth Army of the Second Army.

There is nothing wrong with this reply, it is decent, and Xue Ru can't find a problem, but it always feels wrong, but I don't know what's wrong. had to ask Wu Yuzhao to report the list to the theater command.

There is no battle plan, which makes Xue Ru very strange, there is no battle plan, and there is no garrison time, can he stay in Chao County all the time?

I studied it with Wu Yuzhao and Xiang Wenbin several times and didn't understand. In fact, Xue Ru didn't remember that Chiang Kai-shek adopted a passive defense, not an offensive strategy, and at this time it was the Japanese army attacking Xuzhou, not the counteroffensive stage. As long as the national army can hold the existing area, it is good, how can it formulate a counteroffensive plan.

The Japanese army was also in the stage of campaign repair, and did not carry out military operations, so of course there was nothing to do. The war was not as simple as Xue Ru thought, one battle after another, until it was over.

It was this kind of passive warfare that led to the Eight-Year War, and if China had taken the initiative to counterattack, how could it have been fought for eight years. Every attack was attacked by Japan, and these things could not be understood by crossing over, so Xue Ru was very strange.

There were Japanese troops in Quanjiao and Chuxian, and there were not many troops. The number of the 3rd Division is quite large, but it is scattered to various places, and there are not many of them, and each county town is only at the brigade level. The strategic location is the wing, and the headquarters of the 3rd Division is in Yangzhou.

If he could attack, Xue Ru believed that he could recapture Chuxian and Quanjiao without much effort. But she didn't move, so what if she took it back? Once the Jinpu Road is threatened, the Japanese army will inevitably counterattack, and the Snow Fox will not be able to defend it. The most important point is that it is not replenished with weapons and ammunition, and Snow Fox is not able to fight.

When he first came here, Xue Ru, who had nothing to do, began to wander around, and there was a small car, which was not bad. But it didn't take long to get tired of it, and besides, it was the middle of winter, and there was nothing to see. Although it is not cold in northern Anhui, the grass is dry and the wood is yellow, which is not interesting, Xue Ru began to ponder.

, I asked several times, and the reply given by the theater was that there was no way, and the armies everywhere asked for replenishment of materials and ammunition, and if they couldn't solve it, they could only wait. There is no war for the time being, and there is no need to rush.

Xue Yue did not call back directly, but Wu Yizhi told Wu Yuzhao through Wu Yuqiang that Snow Fox stayed in Jiangbei because Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying said that Snow Fox was fighting continuously and needed to be repaired. The military council made this decision, and Snow Fox stayed in Chao County to recuperate and train.

As to why Xue Yue was like this, Xue Ru didn't understand, and he couldn't ask. After more than 10 days in a row, New Year's Day had passed, and as the Spring Festival of 1938 was approaching, the troops entered a state of calm. There was nothing to do except train every day, and everyone began to celebrate the New Year.

This Zhang Luo is another important thing for the New Year, and Xue Ru finally encountered the biggest problem, that is, she has no money. Chao County and several surrounding counties only provide food and military salaries for snow foxes, but they cannot have other expenses.

In the headquarters of the Chaoxian Corps, Xue Ru looked at the ceiling and was at a loss. She thought she had a lot of ways to get money, but now she didn't have any way. Earn? What are you kidding, you can't say when the troops will leave, and you don't know where you're going. Is it possible to open a factory and a store here to make money? Besides, this area is also a fallen area in the end, isn't that what I prepared for the devils?

However, if you don't have a penny, you can't let the soldiers have a good year. After thinking about it for two days, he said to Li Wenxiu: "What time is it today?" ”

Li Wenxiu said: "Seven." ”

Xue Ru nodded, on the 7th and 31st, there are still more than 20 days to go, and he should take some action and get a sum of money. said: "Notify Dai Zong and Wei Ming to come over." ”

The two directly subordinate brigades and the general team are in Chao County, and the other three regiments are no longer here, so Dai Zong and Wei Ming hurriedly ran over, and they didn't want to fight in normal times, but this time they were really boring. Hearing that the captain was looking for them, the two of them hurriedly ran over. Seeing that Xue Ru was the only one in Xue Ru's office, the two of them were very disappointed, and at first glance, it was not a war. Because there is a battle plan, the chief of staff is there every time.

Looking at the appearance of the two people, Xue Ru said, "What's the hurry? Have you completed your training mission? ”

Dai Zong said: "It's almost over, the main thing is that the special combat team has just been expanded, and the new team members are not good yet." ”

Xue Ru said: "Then you stop training first, and I'll give you a task." ”

The two of them immediately widened their eyes, and sure enough, there was a task. Xue Ru said: "Wei Ming, send your scouts to find out the situation of Quan Jiao for me within two days." ”

"Yes." Wei Ming hurriedly stood up: "Captain, are you going to fight the whole pepper?" ”

Xue Ru nodded: "Yes, we can't always wait like this, let's do it right away." ”

Wei Ming mastered the Fifth Squadron in the Special Operations Brigade, that is, the reconnaissance squadron, and hurriedly left to arrange for the investigation of Quanjiao's situation. Xue Ru said to Dai Zong: "Your people choose reliable ones, lurk in Quanjiao, and when the time comes, they should cooperate with the outside and capture Quanjiao." ”

"Understand" for the special combat team, there is no need to even say tactics, they understand in a word, and they nod their heads again and again.

Xue Ru said: "You bring a radio station into the city, and when the time comes, the radio will contact and determine the time, your task is mainly to find a foothold and arrange the people lurking in." This time, we're giving the devil a center to bloom. ”

"Don't worry, we'll do it." Dai Zong said: "About a few days? ”

Xue Ru said: "Not necessarily, it mainly depends on you, I'll help you think of a way, Quanjiao has a security team that is a traitor team, they are your hiding place, and if you understand him, you can get in a lot of people." ”

Dai Zong said: "The captain is cunning and cunning, I understand what to do." ”

Xue Ru glared at him: "Poor mouth, be careful, protect yourself from mistakes, this operation is up to you." ”

Dai Zong just likes the captain, he never gets angry because of these little things, and he talks to these subordinates very girly. smiled and said, "Camp Commander Xiao didn't look for you, right?" ”

Xue Ru was stunned for a moment: "Isn't he in Hexian?" What are you looking for me for? Dai Zong smiled: "Camp Commander Xiao inquired about you, I thought he could come to you." ”

"Shut up, what's the matter with you" Xue Ru said: "Hurry up, hurry up, Wei Ming comes back, you have to act quickly." ”

Dai Zong always felt that Xiao Yong's efforts were in vain, and the captain didn't seem to care about him. Don't say much, stand up and salute and run out.

Xue Ru smiled and picked up the Dazuo command knife, which was the command knife of the chief of staff of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Xiao Yong was criticized for wanting to capture Gu Shoufu alive so that the first squadron suffered too many casualties, and the blood tiger battle flag was not obtained.

It is said that he was very depressed, and the trustee handed the knife to Xue Ru, and the two never talked much again. He seems to be deliberately avoiding himself, why is he still asking others and not daring to see himself? Thinking about this operation, I still talked to him, I didn't want to talk about emotional issues at this time, but I was still very happy that someone liked it, and I gently put down the knife and sighed.
