Chapter 171: Chaoxian Incident (7)

Liu Ziqing was originally in the advance team, and he knew very well what the combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army was, and he knew even better what his own security regiment was like. Originally, when he heard that Snow Fox had withdrawn from the army, he also wanted to retreat. But Zhao Fengzao also arrived, and also brought a security regiment from Quan Jiao, ordering him to attack.

Zhao Fengzao can't wait to eliminate the New Fourth Army, he is the commissioner of the Fifth Inspectorate District, but there are two sets of institutions in each county, there are three institutions in the Japanese occupied areas, one for the Nationalist Government, one for the CCP secret, and one for the Japanese army.

Only his government does not listen at all, why? Zhao Fengzao knows it himself. The CCP's institutions are rooted in the people, and their military can also connect with the people, and those secret officials serve the people wholeheartedly, and of course they are loved by the people.

Zhao Fengzao's subordinates are all rich men and gentlemen in the countryside, and they are safeguarding their own interests, which is unpopular, of course, it is normal.

Although there are four counties in name, what can really be commanded is only the two county towns of Hanshan and Quanjiao, and the county has been basically controlled by the CCP, Chaoxian is in the hands of the snow fox, this time they made the Fan Tiezhu matter, if the snow fox is no longer pursued because of an ordinary person, if the CCP hands over the people, then it can't be beaten.

After he arrived, he saw that sure enough, Snow Fox retreated and immediately ordered Liu Ziqing to attack. He also led Quanjiao's security team to attack from the other side. No matter how angry Zhou Ming is, in terms of military ability, it is still no problem for the Eighth Regiment to fight a security regiment.

Although there were many people in the security regiment, it was a pity that they could not defeat others, and they were put into the town by the Eighth Regiment to surround them, and most of Liu Ziqing was defeated and eliminated at a very small cost. When Zhao Fengzao heard that Liu Ziqing was so incompetent, he was furious and led one of his regiments to attack.

Just when the two sides were fighting in full swing, Xiao Yong led two squadrons to kill. This time the eighth regiment is not good, firstly, the combat effectiveness of the snow fox is very strong, and secondly, the equipment is also very different, *, pistols, machine guns, and the powerful firepower made Zhou Ming suffer a lot of casualties at that time.

Wu Xiaozhong said: "Regiment commander, let's withdraw, and join up with the high commander's people, it won't work like this." ”

Zhou Ming also knew that his decision had finally brought losses to the troops. Lujiadian couldn't stay anymore, and decided to retreat in the direction of Wuwei, and the other troops of the commander had already arrived in the Tuqiao area of Wuwei, and they would have entered Chaoxian County tomorrow, but they couldn't wait.

He ordered a retreat, this time Xiao Yong was even more angry, he thought that he could have attacked it at once, ended the battle quickly, and the snow fox still had a task. But the eight regiments on the opposite side can really fight.

Xiao Yong knew Snow Fox's combat rules, no matter what the situation, casualties were not allowed to be exchanged for victory, so he did not dare to force an attack. The battle became a stagnant state for a while, and sent people Liu Yuanshan and Dai Zong to report, asking for another team of people. The fighting has already begun, so it can't be stopped, otherwise what will happen to the casualties?

Zhou Ming suddenly retreated, and retreated in the direction of Wuwei while fighting. This time, Zhao Fengzao was very happy, and immediately rushed into Lujia Town from the other side. He is not a snow fox, the goal of the snow fox corps is Fan Tiezhu, of course, it is to bite the eighth regiment to pursue, but Zhao Fengzao did not pursue, he knows that this is the base of the nest resistance guerrillas and the advance team.

Arrange for Liu Ziqing to kill people everywhere, and arrest and shoot the families of the so-called rebellious parties. Feng Renyan was also dumbfounded, Xue Ru was too much, and on the contrary, he had already sent a telegram to ask the high commander, and he also promised to arrive as soon as possible and make an appointment to meet Xue Ru to have a good talk. After all, according to the instructions of the central authorities, the fourth detachment must obey the command of the military headquarters.

According to the spirit of the central government, it is to consolidate to the south, attack to the east, and develop to the north, and will deal with the snow fox in the future.

Feng Renyan felt that this was not bad, because the two sides reached an agreement on this matter, and with the combat effectiveness of the Snow Fox and the ability of the four detachments, it was not difficult to open up the anti-Japanese situation in the central area.

But Xue Ru actually agreed to withdraw from the army on the surface, and instructed Liu Ziqing and Zhao Fengzao to attack. Zhao Fengzao, who is an expert who has always been an expert, and he can't wait to eliminate all the CCPs. With him involved, it can't be any better at all. Zhou Ming and the others retreated, and Feng Renyan came to find Zhao Fengzao.

"Commissioner Zhao, let your people stop arresting the family members and CCP personnel of the nest resistance, Snow Fox has already agreed to negotiate a settlement with the New Fourth Army." Feng Renyan said with a strong suppression of anger.

Zhao Fengzao's face was also very ugly: "County Magistrate Feng, pay attention to your identity, I am the commissioner, and you have no right to give me an order." I'm rescuing the Snow Fox personnel, the New Fourth Army suppressed the soldiers of the National Army, and they had to shoot him, they were the ones who provoked the incident first, how could it be our fault? County Magistrate Feng, don't think that you can keep you with your uncle, I have reported to the provincial department and asked the New Fourth Army to release Snow Fox's people immediately, otherwise, Snow Fox will wipe them all out. ”

Feng Renyan really couldn't say it, he didn't understand that Fan Tiezhu was just an ordinary person, why Snow Fox had to say that it was their person. Zhou Ming also had to deal with him, in fact, it was easy for the two sides to take a step back. This made Zhao Fengzao catch the reason, on the one hand, under the banner of Snow Fox, on the other hand, he is indeed his boss in terms of authority, if it weren't for his uncle's reason, I'm afraid Zhao Fengzao has ordered himself to be arrested, right?

He couldn't help it, in three aspects, he said that he didn't listen to anyone, and he couldn't control anyone, not even his cousin listened to him. Feng Renyan was also angry, and simply stopped caring about this.

Xiao Yong's mood in pursuit had changed, he originally wanted to save Fan Tiezhu, but at this time, he wanted to eliminate the Eighth Regiment and ordered to pursue in the direction of Wuwei.

The sound of gunfire came, the first squadron leader Zhang Dele was startled, and Xiao Yong was stunned: "Report, Deputy Xiao Brigade, we are surrounded." ”

Xiao Yong was startled, this time it was broken, according to intelligence, this is the main force of the four detachments, they are so fast, I didn't expect to be surrounded by them here. He had only two squadrons of four hundred people, and the eighth regiment itself outnumbered himself, and immediately shouted: "Find a place and go to the defense." ”

Xiao Yong didn't know what this place was, he was just pursuing, there was a small mountain stream on the side of a low peak, and the terrain was quite dangerous.

The two squadrons immediately went on the defensive, and the people who surrounded them were four detachments and seven regiments, and they were also the strongest combat strength of the four detachments. Because Gao Jingting was able to fight, there were many captures, and the weapons of the four detachments were better than those of the other detachments.

Xiao Yong They have strong combat effectiveness, but their numbers are several times lower than the other party, whether it is the military spirit or the will to fight, they are not against the Japanese army, and their natural mood is different. Besides, the snow fox fights with a plan and moves, fights quickly as soon as it comes into contact, and then withdraws, instead of pursuing it for such a long time, it is surrounded by experience.

For various reasons, Xiao Yong was in a predicament. Besides, the weapons of the snow fox were not suitable for such a battle, and they were counter-surrounded by the seventh and eighth regiments and pressed on this hill.

Xiao Yong was in a hurry, the casualties of the forced breakthrough must be too great, he was surrounded at this time, but he calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no way to explain to Xue Ru, these were two squadrons, so he had to order the soldiers to stick to it on all sides, and wanted to wait until it was dark to break through. Although he can't report the news, Liu Yuanshan should send someone to reinforce him, and he can understand it.

The attack around was not strong, but it just pressed Xiao Yong and them here, and Xiao Yong didn't know why. This place is a small village called Shijian in Wuwei, and Zhou Ming is reporting to Gao Jingting at this time.

Gao Jingting frowned and walked on the ground, he was also angry, but he understood better that he couldn't eliminate these snow fox armies. It is said that the Snow Fox is very strong in combat, and it is no problem for a general team to fight against a Japanese wing, but looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem to be very powerful.

But there are no vain soldiers under the fame, and Snow Fox's achievements again and again are not blown, and if the war is completely started, it will also give the Fifth War Zone an excuse to exterminate itself. The four detachments' efforts to develop eastward will inevitably be disrupted, and now, according to the instructions of the military headquarters, the loss of the Dabie Mountain base area has already made him feel uncomfortable, and the plan to expand eastward and develop northward will be hindered again, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to handle.

Li Weixian said: "Commander, I think it's better to talk to Commander Xue, and the two sides should settle this matter peacefully, and don't expand it, which is not conducive to our development." ”

Dai Jiying said: "Chief of Staff Li, this is a matter of political stance, if you compromise, what will you do in the future? There's nothing wrong with Head Zhou, isn't it just a small town that doesn't move? It is necessary to break the blockade of the national army and expand outward in order to have development. ”

"You ......" Li Weixian said: "Deputy Commander Dai, we have to treat it differently, Snow Fox must be different from other Kuomintang troops, this time mainly because of that Fan Tiezhu." ”

Gao Jingting said: "Don't argue, why did Zhou Ming shoot Zhang Chong?" That's the crux of the matter. ”

Wu Xiaozhong said: "Haven't we been doing this all the time in Dabie Mountain? The High Commander also executed quite a few such people, right? Gao Jingting's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he glanced at Wu Xiaozhong coldly, how could he not understand what Wu Xiaozhong meant by this sentence, and his heart was angry: "Don't argue, Zhou Ming is suspended for inspection, Zheng Benchu is the acting head of the regiment, Huang Yigai takes over as the director of the Political Department, the eighth regiment plus all the people, merge with the Chaokang guerrillas, and expand into the fifth detachment, Zhang Kai is the chief of staff, Feng Wenhua is the deputy detachment leader, this is the decision of the Jiangbei Command, implement it." ”

At this time, the reorganization of the troops was announced, and everyone was stunned for a while, especially Zhou Ming, who was supposed to be the leader of the detachment, but he was suspended. "Why?" he asked. ”

Gao Jingting said: "I don't need to explain to you, this is the fourth detachment, or I have the final say, bring Fan Tiezhu to me, and I will go to Chao County." ”

Li Weixian said, "Commander, this is too dangerous, isn't it?" We didn't see Xue Ru, this person can't see through it. ”

Gao Jingting smiled coldly: "When has Gao been afraid, it's not that he hasn't faced the Kuomintang's butcher's knife, and when I was away, I was commanded by Deputy Commander Dai." ”

Dai Jiying hurriedly stood upright, he looked down on Gao Jingting's style very much, the four detachments were the party's army, just like Gao Jingting's personal, he didn't discuss with others at all, and made a big deal out of it. The dismissal of the regiment commander and the reorganization of the troops, although there was an order from the Jiangbei Command and should also be studied and decided by the party committee, but he decided it alone, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was not revealed, but he agreed and asked: "What about the snow fox in the encirclement?" ”

Gao Jingting smiled: "Surround first, if they don't break through, don't attack, wait for me to come back." ”

Gao Jingting didn't say anything more, looked at Fan Tiezhu, who was still tied up, and said: "I'll take you to see Xue Ru now, you be honest, if you don't be honest, I'll shoot you now, come here, go to Chao County." ”

Chao County, in the Snow Fox Corps Headquarters, Xue Ru's face was angry, Liu Yuanshan had never seen Xue Ru have such a big fire, and the people in the corps headquarters did not dare to come out, it turned out that the young lady's anger was so terrible.

She used the fastest speed along the way, in order not to delay the journey, after seeing Jiang Zhongnian and Xiao Minghua, as well as Hao Yunfei from the secret path, she didn't say anything, just let them follow, and then galloped back to Chao County.

Xue Ru didn't know about the four detachments, but he only knew that Gao Jingting was shot in the end, as if it was a wrongful killing of the ultra-left line, and he didn't know anything else. is also worried that they really killed Fan Tiezhu, if Fan Tiezhu is a normal person, Xue Ru is not worried, but unfortunately he is not, such a talent is dangerous. also understands Xiao Yong and Dai Zong, once they come up with a temper, Liu Yuanshan may not be able to restrain them.

After all, Liu Yuanshan has not established such a high prestige, the New Fourth Army is not an eighth regiment, Xue Ru doesn't remember, it seems that there was a conflict that broke out in Chaoxian and Hanshan, and there were no fewer dead on both sides, and this conflict also left hidden dangers for the later Battle of Huangqiao.

The New Fourth Army annihilated two brigades of the Nationalist Army at Huangqiao, and two major generals died, which became the main problem of the New Fourth Army in later generations. After the reform and opening up, the open atmosphere of freedom of speech has led to different voices in the previously one-sided statement.

The New Fourth Army is not like the Eighth Route Army, which is all a good evaluation. It is said that they have no achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and they have done nothing other than grabbing territory, engaging in civil war, and creating friction, so most people think that the Southern Incident and the elimination of the New Fourth Army deserve it, and it is right.

Xue Ru thinks that no matter what you say, it actually has a political position, and if you say it objectively, Xue Ru doesn't know whether it's right or wrong. She just wants to fight the devil and doesn't want to participate in these, so she has always maintained the independence of the snow fox. Although she knew that if she fully surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek, Snow Fox would develop and grow, and she would have everything, but she didn't want to get close, and the closeness to the CCP in her heart made her also inclined to the New Fourth Army. But the ultra-left line scared Xue Ru again, so he tried his best not to provoke both sides and avoid them.

But in this era, Xue Ru can't avoid it, and now he is really involved. The last time he forced back the advancing team, Zhao Fengzao took advantage of this matter. Xue Ru understood, but there was no way.

Liu Ziqing ambushed the snow fox, and originally agreed with Feng Renyan that the two sides would not interfere with each other, but the matter of Fan Tiezhu came out again, and now I am afraid that the whole world knows about it. How should I solve it, should I rescue Fan Tiezhu by force, or ignore him?

In this position, Xue Ru already understood that it was not Fan Tiezhu's business alone, and from Wu Yuzhao, Xue Ru already understood why Snow Fox was divided.

Wu Yuzhao and Lan Xun Zhou can't see Xue Ru's self-motivation, and no one is left behind in fighting devils, but they can't let them all be gods and angels, and their personal honor and status must also be changed, otherwise those military merit medals will be useless?

No matter which political party, which person, or which group realizes the great ideal, it must also have personal value embodiment and self-pursuit.

In fact, Xue Ru is not the same, every time the national government is promoted, Xue Ru also cares very much in his heart. She can't do it without being happy with things and not being sad with things, imagine how many people can do it?

That is, Xue Ru's indifference disappointed Wu Yuzhao and them, Snow Fox's combat exploits are obvious to all, and the number of people is close to eight or nine thousand people in a division, but Xue Ru is only a colonel, or temporary, how can his subordinates rise. On the contrary, Xue Ru did not want to expand the army, and always wanted to reduce, which was tantamount to being unmotivated.

Wu Yuzhao, Lan Xun Zhou, and Xiang Wenbin were not disappointed, so they finally chose to leave. Indeed, it didn't take long for the 45th Independent Brigade to be included in the regular sequence of the Central Army, Wu Yuzhao became a major general, and Lan Xun Zhou was promoted to colonel.

This time, if Xue Ru ignores Fan Tiezhu, he has maintained the relationship between the two parties, and he has not offended anyone, but he will also lose the loyalty of everyone in Snow Fox. At the critical moment, all the squadron leaders and captains of Snow Fox agreed to attack because of Fan Tiezhu, that is, they all understood that this was Snow Fox's military heart to gain and win the loyalty of the soldiers. What can Xue Ru do? She can only support, that is, openly make enemies of the CCP, and completely stand on the side of the Kuomintang from then on.

She was very entangled along the way, and she rushed into Chaoxian tiredly, with a guard platoon given by Bai Chongxi behind her, as well as Sun Zheng and Jiang Zhongnian.

Seeing that the young lady came back so soon, Liu Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, didn't care about letting Xue Ru rest, and hurriedly reported the situation, no one knew that Xiao Yong and they were surrounded. Xue Ru's face was ugly, and she circled back and forth on the ground.

"Report" Jin Baili came in: "Commander, Xiao Yong's two squadrons were surrounded by the Seventh Regiment and Eighth Regiment of the New Fourth Army in Shijian. ”
