Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (43)

Wu Wannian left without a fight, which made the noble election of Taihu Lake shocked and angry, how well he usually said, sincerely united and watched, and when the catastrophe came, he still left. Gao Guixuan knows that Wu Wannian can go, but he can't go, it seems that the two battalions of the Japanese puppet army, one squadron, will have to carry it independently! I've been burying my head in the map for a long time, struggling to think about what to do.

There was silence in the entire command headquarters, the silence before the big war, the staff tried to keep their voices soft, not daring to disturb the contemplation of the noble election, at this time, the mentality of the commander, or it would decide the life and death of everyone present.

Jiang Chunyang handed Xu Weiyi a cigarette, and said with a wry smile: "County Magistrate Xu, if you don't leave, it is estimated that Wu Wannian will not leave, as soon as you leave, he will not only walk cleanly, but also happily." ”

Xu Weiyi took the cigarette and lit it, and also smiled bitterly, and said: "I also know that this is the result, but if you don't go, you can't go, if you don't go, he will let Tao Taiping lead his troops to meet the enemy first, what is the difference between that and serving the tiger with meat." His idea is very clear, if you can't merge, you will die. If I am in Xuqiao, Tao Taiping can't help but face the battle, and the outcome can be imagined. ”

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Chunyang laughed: "This Wu Wannian is really a grass coward, and his mind and mind are all compared with Yang Xiuqing back then." ”

"Where can he compare to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, the long-haired king of the east set up Hong Xiuquan, forced Xiao Chaogui to death, killed Feng Yunshan, divided the fossils to Wei Changhui, and took the long-haired family into the hands of the heavenly father. This Wu Wannian just played a little trick. Xu Weiyi said: "When I left Xuqiao, I still thought that he thought I was redundant, and I would leave if he sent me away, and if he wanted to annex Tao Taiping, he would let him annex, as long as he could stay and break the enemy with the Taihu National Army, I didn't expect that he would do this." ”

"He'll be back." Not far away, the noble election raised his head from the map.

Jiang Chunyang and Xu Weiyi both turned their heads to look over.

"Wherever he goes, it's our group seat." Gao Guixuan said: "Whether it is Su Song or Wangjiang, if there is a telegram from Tuanzao, he will definitely rush over." ”

Jiang Chunyang and Xu Weiyi both laughed, this is the reason, Mo Di is the commander-in-chief of the six counties, if Wu Wannian dares to disobey his orders, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mix in this place. It's just that how to solve this current problem, the enemy is far away in Huaining, and Taihu Lake has only one battalion's combat strength, and in the face of two battalions of the founding army and a Japanese squadron, the strength is not enough.

"The first word: etc. The second word: boil. Gao Guixuan said: "Wait until the regimental seat is reinforced, and stay up until the regimental seat is reinforced."

"The question is how long this is waiting, how long is this staying!" Jiang Chunyang's worries are really not at all certain.

"Don't worry about the deputy seat, the regimental seat won't ignore us, I'm afraid that at this time, he is even more anxious than us, maybe he already has the wisdom bead in hand, and he has already transferred troops to punish the general." Gao Guixuan was not sure in his heart, and he could only say this at this time, on the surface, he was comforting Jiang Chunyang, but he was actually comforting himself.

Xu Wei had never seen Mo Di, but he had also heard some of Mo Di's deeds, and knew that this was a very wise commander, and the reason why the six counties of Anqing had been able to maintain the current situation was not unrelated to the strength of this person. Since he returned to Qianshan in May, he has fought twice with the Japanese puppet army in Anqing, and each time he has not let the Japanese puppet army get cheap. The battle of Qingcao Lake, the old and young in Wangjiang County all know that Wu Wannian has transformed for this, and the pheasant flies on the branch to become a phoenix. Wu Wannian, who annexed Tao Taiping, has more than 600 people, and it can be regarded as the number one in the six counties of Anqing West.

Jiang Chunyang listened to Gao Guixuan's words, nodded, and said: "Battalion Commander Gao, I think, fight hard, we can't fight the Japanese puppet army, and Boss Mo won't agree to our hard fight." According to my understanding of Boss Mo, we still have to prepare to leave first, if the Japanese puppet army arrives at Taihu Lake and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, our best choice is to take the test with 36 strategies, and take the walk as the top. ”

Gao Guixuan shook his head, nodded again, and said: "What the deputy seat said makes sense, we must have two hands to prepare, fight or go, but even if we go, we must walk in an orderly manner, and we can't learn from Uncle Liu Huang to withdraw from Xinye City." Can the deputy seat help me with this, I am responsible for the retreat preparations of the Taihu party, government and military organs, I have to think about how to fight the enemy, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything. ”

"Aren't you ready to withdraw? Why still fight? Xu Wei couldn't understand it, and interjected and asked.

Gao Guixuan smiled and said: "County Magistrate Xu, you don't know our regimental seat, he won't give up so easily, even if he wants to go, he has to follow the rules and have trade-offs, he won't let the Japanese puppet army get a Taihu County so easily." These days, I have to accurately grasp any movements of the Japanese puppet army and report to the regiment in a timely manner. I also have to be ready for battle, and if I think I can fight, I must be able to strike immediately. ”

Xu Weiyi nodded his head and admired: "Such a use of soldiers can be described as accurate, no wonder there is a legend in Huaining that if you want to eat devil meat, there is only 176, with Commander Mo, the reputation of the 176th Division will naturally spread far and wide." ”

The preparations for Taihu Lake were carried out in an orderly manner, and the actions of the Japanese puppet army were also clearly displayed in front of the noble election under the supervision of the reconnaissance troops, and at the same time, they were also reported in front of the invincible.

"Telegraph to Wu Wannian's department, when the strong enemy is coming, Wu Ministry's ability to judge the situation and avoid its edge, is very good. Next, a small-scale harassment force should be immediately organized to return to Xuqiao as a company, and after the Japanese puppet army arrived at Xuqiao, they should immediately carry out harassment, with the aim of pulling away one or two companies of the Japanese puppet army and dividing its strength. If the Japanese army did not divide its troops, it would increase its harassment, and the large army followed up with the tail of the Japanese puppet army, and attacked the Japanese puppet army with the Taihu noble electoral department. "Mo Enemy's first order was given to Wu Wannian, who was on the run.

"Telegraphed to Hao Wenbo's department, immediately reinforcing from Shipai, from Lashu to Shikouling to Jiangtang, with great fanfare along the way, to make a regiment specifications. The purpose is to divide a part of the enemy, and if the enemy divides his troops to attack, he will quickly retreat and not engage in a head-on confrontation with him. If the enemy does not divide his troops to meet the enemy, he will carry out a flank attack on the Japanese puppet army with the Taihu noble electoral department, "The object of the second order is Shipai Hao Wenbo." After the development of Shipai's Hao Wenbo during this period of time, he also has two battalions of men. In the battle of Wanhe, Hao Wenbo's prestige was played, and a large number of Japanese weapons were captured, which greatly increased the strength of Hao Wenbo's Huaining Garrison Brigade, and the Ninth Guerrilla Brigade made him a member of the national army.

After receiving Mo Di's telegram, he immediately understood Mo Di's intentions, and on the same day, he held a swearing-in meeting with the county magistrate Hu, held a departure ceremony, killed the rooster, invited the Dao Gong, and made a miasma, and the squire representative of Shipai also toasted the victory wine, lest others not know that he Hao Wenbo was preparing to go west to Taihu Lake. Hao Wenbo's subordinates are much more formal than Wu Wannian, he was originally a soldier, and he also paid attention to military appearance and discipline, lined up in line, and looked decent. Leaving one company to garrison the stone plaque, he personally led five companies to beat gongs and drums, and went around the Anhui River into the Changhe River and headed west.

Seeing these two telegrams from Mo Enemy, Gao Guixuan knew that he would not leave Taihu Lake, and he would definitely fight with the invading enemy again. Sure enough, Mo Di's telegram arrived, allowing him to closely grasp the enemy's movements, and the troops were ready for battle, Qin Guosheng of Qianshan had already rushed to Taihu Lake with a guard company, and Ouyang Jin would also be reinforced, and he and Luo Wei would also arrive as soon as possible. If this group of Japanese puppet troops does not know the current affairs and does not know how to advance or retreat, they must wipe out this group of Japanese puppet troops in Taihu Lake and let them die on the shore of the Long River.

Wu Wannian, who had retreated to the area of Susong Gaoling, received a telegram from Mo Di, knowing that he had to follow Mo Di's wishes, and that he could have this day because of Mo Di's blessings, and now he is still working under Mo Di, the commander-in-chief of the six counties, and some things cannot be done too much. He found Tao Taiping, handed them the telegram of Mo Di, and pretended to ask the deputy of the Tao team if he had any suggestions, Tao Taiping knew the subtext of Wu Wannian very well, and said: "Shangfeng's order, you must follow it, I think that you can let the three companies go to the task alone, and the three companies can fight separately and carry out harassment." If the enemy divides the troops, if there are few people, you can concentrate three companies to eat them, and if there are many people, take them in the direction of Susong, and take them as far as they can. If you can take away a battalion, the opponent of the high battalion commander in Taihu Lake will be one less battalion, and even if you take away a company, you can also make the high battalion commander have one less company of opponents. ”

Wu Wannian glanced at Tao Taiping in surprise, this person has such a sense of the overall situation, it is rare, Wu Wannian said: "Very good, I think the second battalion can be sent to carry out this task, the deputy commander of the second battalion Tao has fought with the other party, he is more familiar with the other party's situation, and he can know himself and his opponent." Zhi obviously wanted to squeeze Tao Taiping, but he didn't expect Tao Taiping to completely agree, and said righteously: "Soldiers are proud of dying in battle, and Tao dares to disobey his fate." "Hearing Wu Wannian's respect, this Tao Taiping has changed his sex!

Coming out of the headquarters, Tao Taiping went straight to the sixth company of the second battalion and found his cousin Tao Shaoping. The sixth company of the second battalion was unsociable, hanging far away in a corner of the barracks, Wu Wannian also knew that it would take time to completely eat this group, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he let them make a small group.

This is a gentle hill, the mountain is covered with tall masson pine, and the pine needles on the ground are covered with a thick layer. The soldiers gathered the pine needles together and spread mats on them, which was quite comfortable, but the house not far away was covered with dust because of the burning of pine needles, which fell on the ground, blew onto the trees, and sprinkled on people's clothes.

Under a huge pine tree, the two muttered for a while, only to hear Tao Shaoping reply loudly: "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely recruit all the old brothers of the garrison brigade back, and let them re-raise the banner of the Wangjiang garrison brigade in the area of East Gaoshi of Qingcao Lake." ”

Tao Taiping nodded and said, "You divide the brothers in your hands into two parts, half of them go to Qingcao Hudong with the old brothers of the garrison brigade, and say that they are damaged in battle, and the other half is brought back, and ask Wu Wannian to replenish them." ”

Tao Shaoping cracked his mouth and smiled, the eldest brother in his own family, he really has a way!
