Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (12)

Hao Wenbo gathered his men and horses in the courtyard, a full three hundred people, usually scattered everywhere is not too obvious, the strange smell gathered together is quite choking, the thin monkey originally wanted to get close to listen to it, but was smoked out of two hundred meters away by the strange smell. I only heard Hao Wenbo shouting excitedly, the content is very single, very single, but very appealing, Hao Wenbo said, with the help of the 526 Brigade, it will definitely be able to eliminate the pursuers on the other side of the river. And told his brothers very brightly that the reason why it took ten days and half a month to painstakingly lure the devils to this place was to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Taking advantage of Hao Wenbo's morale, the thin monkey asked people to buy four big fat pigs from a nearby farmhouse. When the four big fat pigs were carried into the yard, followed by a pig killer with a butcher's knife, Hao Wenbo's subordinates had a fine light in their eyes, this attraction was three points stronger than Hao Wenbo's mobilization, and some quasi-deserters who had made up their minds to leave at night regardless of Hao Wenbo's tongue and had to leave at night were also moved by the upcoming pork, and they would eat and leave before leaving.

Hu Guanghan also stood below to listen to the agitation, and when he saw the men and horses of the thin monkey driving the four pigs in, he proudly said to the people around him that it was he who brought the people of the 526 Brigade to Shangshipai. It is precisely because of his wise actions that he has these four big pigs, the fragrant and fat pork for a while, and the meat and fishiness that have not been seen for half a month. The people around him looked at him with reverence, and those who were usually called "Hu Laohan" also changed their names to "Brother Hu".

With a lot of chopping wood and boiling hot water, Hao Wenbo's Ninth Guerrilla Brigade finally washed away the stench of its body, changed its clothes, and washed its clothes without changing clothes, and sat around the fire to bake clothes wearing only a pair of underwear. The strange smell in the barracks gradually faded away, replaced by the fresh smell of pig-killing vegetables. Pork is cut into palm-sized pieces from skin to fat to lean meat, and directly into the clear soup, and the whole piece of tofu is put into the pot and thrown in a handful of salt to become delicious.

The lean monkey, who often eats meat, is not interested in large pieces of meat, so he fried the pork liver, fried the pig's large intestine, made soup from the small intestine, stewed the head meat, marinated the scalp, cut the pork belly in white, and braised the tail joint...... Thinking that it was to save meat for his brothers to eat, Hao Wenbo looked embarrassed, and he must let the thin monkey eat a large piece of meat, until the thin monkey let him drink a mouthful of the fresh soup stewed from the pig's skull, he never mentioned the large piece of meat again, sat next to the thin monkey, and for the first time ate the pig offal so appetizing, and praised while eating: Lao Guang is Lao Guang, eating in Guangzhou, and it is worthy of its name.

Unconsciously, Hao Wenbo was already intoxicated. He is too tired, this half a month, every day to live in fear, tonight with the thin monkey in charge of vigilance, he can no longer control the physical and mental exhaustion, three glasses of old wine down the throat, plus delicious dishes, the wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk.

After a good meal and a good night's sleep, the 9th Guerrilla Brigade at dawn was completely different from the previous day, looking new from the outside in. They are all young people, they recover quickly, and as long as they have enough flesh and enough sleep, they can have enough physical strength.

The thin monkey couldn't sleep so well, he came to last year's old position early in the morning, only to learn that Hao Wenbo's fortifications that he had repaired for a day yesterday were completely deceitful and deceitful, and he dug a useless trench to resist the enemy on the position, but instead filled in some useful deep passages. What a false shot! The thin monkey shook his head and sighed, the more the fortifications on this side are repaired, the more the enemy on the other side will not dare to cross the river. Therefore, in the eyes of the thin monkey, the fortifications here are not used to deceive people, but to be done in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise, a reconnaissance plane flying from Anqing Airport can be seen at a glance. It's not difficult to fool people, but it's not so easy to fool planes.

The migrant workers who came to repair the fortifications came, and they began to work hard to grind foreign workers, and the thin monkey did not let them continue to do yesterday's useless work, but restored some of the old fortifications in the past, at least to make the plane look like that. Looking at the other side of the river from a distance, the appeasement army in yellow clothes also began to build fortifications, and the thin monkey knew that the other party was repairing fortifications, indicating that they would not attack, and the first thing the other party wanted to attack, the first thing should be to make wooden platoons, or make pontoon bridges, not to defend on their own side.

Back at the temporary headquarters, Hao Wenbo had already gotten up, and yesterday's wine had turned into physical strength and a look of spirit. The operator, seeing the thin monkey coming in, stood up and handed him a telegram. This is a real telegram, if it is fake, Mo Di told the thin monkey in the telegram that Ouyang Jin's first battalion and Zhong Dingnai's third battalion have set off, and they can rush to the Pingshan mountain area behind the enemy at noon, as long as the enemy in the east of the river dares to cross the river, they will attack from behind the enemy army as soon as possible, and strive for a successful blow. The defense of the west of the Anhui River was to be handed over to the Ninth Guerrilla Brigade and the Assault Company of the Guard Battalion; although it was a feint, it was necessary to attach importance to it, and it was necessary to make a real show and do it, not only to attract the enemy east of the river, but also to lure out the enemy in Wangjiang. Shi Chong's division and Wu Wannian's division adopted the method of harassment and warfare, stagnating the marching speed of the enemy army in Wangjiang, and the second battalion of Gao Guixuan and Zhong Liangzhong's firepower company had already rushed to set up an ambush, and they had to take the enemy troops on the Wangjiang side in one fell swoop. The center of this battle is still Shangshipai, and Shangshipai's acting will determine the two major posterior moves of reinforcement and counterattack, which must be paid attention to.

After reading the telegram, the thin monkey handed it to Hao Wenbo while drinking porridge, and said, "I'm afraid that I'm going to tire Chief Hao to accompany us to perform a good show!" ”

Hao Wenbo first saw that the second battalion was not coming, and knew that he had been calculated unconsciously and had become a part of this plan, and he was a little unhappy, and then he saw that he was the easiest part of this plan, but it was also the most meritorious link, and he was not happy. After reading the whole plan, Hao Wenbo was very appreciative of Mo Di's move, and said to the thin monkey: "You have only one regiment, and you can fight such a strategic battle, and when we attack Anqing, we have more than one regiment, so we can't fight such an orderly battle." Mo Tianzong lives up to his name! ”

The thin monkey smiled and said: "Commander Hao has an overreputation, we have not only one regiment, one regiment and three battalions, and one brigade guard battalion, plus the Ninth Guerrilla Brigade of your department and a county standing brigade of Wu Wannian, the number is not less than one brigade. With so many people, they can't take the two squadrons and two battalions of the puppet army of the Japanese army, and they are embarrassed to say it. ”

Hao Wenbo also smiled: "It's just that our Ninth Guerrilla Brigade is a complete supporting role, with 300 tired soldiers, 300 burning sticks, and the total number of bullets is less than 1,000 rounds. ”

"Don't worry about that." The thin monkey said: "Director He Degui of the Political Department of the 1056th Regiment has sent a baggage brigade and a pack horse team to deliver bullets, go south along the dive, and hand over to our department at the mouth of the long river. ”

"Seriously!" The bowl in Hao Wenbo's hand fell to the ground, and the remaining residual porridge was sprinkled on the upper of the shoe, so he took the thin monkey's hand, shook it vigorously, and kept saying: "That's good, with bullets, Lao Tzu will run one step further, and he will not be raised by his mother's biological parents!" Chief of Staff Hou, you just watch me, I can't do anything else, I must play this scene well. ”

After that, Hao Wenbo ran out like a fly, and not long after, there was a shout of the first squadron of the Ninth Guerrilla Brigade setting off to repair the fortifications.

The thin monkey breathed a sigh of relief, Hao Wenbo finally got on the road, and then it was up to Shi Zhong and Gao Gui to choose!

Shi Chong's work also began with the search for Wu Wan.

He was looking for Wu Wannian, and Wu Wannian was also looking for him, and the Wangjiang County Complete Brigade was divided into two factions after overturning a Japanese motorboat in February, one faction was Tao Taiping and the other faction was Wu Wannian. Tao Taiping is more inclined to let the Japanese puppet army occupy the county seat, occupy the countryside by himself, and go to the county seat every once in a while to fight the autumn breeze of the Japanese puppet army, and the life can be very nourishing. Wu Wannian did not agree with Tao Taiping's opinion, believing that the sacrifice of the people in the county town was not the work of the anti-Japanese people, and that it was necessary to organize and fight to the death against the invaders. For this purpose, Wu Wannian sent personnel to Taihu Lake, hoping to find Mo Enemy and be able to get Mo Enemy's incorporation, he knew that only by standing with the regular army could he increase his strength and achieve his goal.

In Taihu City, Wu Wannian's people knew that Shi was going to find them, and they sent it to the door as soon as possible, feeling like they had found an organization.

The two sides hit it off, Mo Di reported to the 176th Division, and gave Wu Wannian the establishment of an eighth guerrilla brigade, with Wu Wannian as the captain, as for Tao Taiping, he just didn't know that there was such a person, the Wangjiang County Garrison Brigade, whether it was divided into two or two brands and a group of people, and it was up to Wu Wannian to decide. The only one who could help him was Xu Weiyi, the county magistrate of Wangjiang County, who was directly ordered by the Anhui Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and became the rightful magistrate of Wangjiang County.

These have not yet been determined, Shi Zhong has already settled in Wu Wannian's defense area, and with the arrival of Zhong Liangzhong's firepower platoon, the battle plan has begun to be implemented.

Shi Chong's original plan was to let the Japanese puppet army reinforced by Wangjiang leave Wangjiang, and he took advantage of the situation to launch a night attack, attack the wounded barracks and infirmary of the Japanese army, and wipe out those Japanese soldiers who had no combat effectiveness. However, his opinion was denied by Wu Wannian, Wu Wannian thought that this move was inappropriate, although the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army deserved to die, but they could not die like this, some actions would anger the Japanese army, they would definitely send a large number of troops from Nanchang to carry out retaliatory killings on Wangjiang, and at that time, it was the people of Wangjiang City who suffered.

Zhong Liang also thinks that in such a battle, it is better to clean up the Japanese puppet army that went out of the city first, and then say, he has never fought with the puppet army in Nanjing, and he does not know what the combat effectiveness is, so it is better to be cautious and not to underestimate the enemy too much.

The two sides unanimously determined that Wu Wannian would be responsible for the movements of the Japanese puppet army, Shi Zhong would be responsible for disturbing the enemy, and Zhong Liang would move closer to Gaoguixuan to form a joint force, and it would be best to clean up the reinforced Japanese puppet army in one fell swoop.

In Wangjiang City, there was chaos, the Japanese Fujita Brigade was very troubled in order to reinforce, and there was only one squadron of soldiers that could be used to fight, and it was not easy to select a squadron in this squadron with combat effectiveness, and this squad of 54 people was not so much a reinforcement as a supervisor to supervise the accompanying Jianguo Army.

The Qian Kun Regiment of the Founding Army was the first founding army that was reorganized when Wang Jingwei arrived in Nanjing, and actively prepared for the establishment of a puppet government, which was adapted from the appeasement army in southern Jiangsu, and this group of appeasement troops was not like soldiers, but more like businessmen, and the reason why they were willing to leave their hometown and come to Wangjiang was only because they heard that business in the Wangjiang area was easy to do, and they could sell all kinds of goods in southern Jiangsu to Wangjiang and sell them at a good price. So big bags and small bags were set up on the streets of Huayang, one person and one stall started business. These people are very business-minded, pay attention to commodity morality, sell high and buy low, but they are not bullied, and for a time, they actually made the market prosperous in Wangjiang. Such a group of people who are not fighting wars and eating food, but prefer to let them go to the soup and fire, and their enthusiasm can be imagined. Since he came to be a soldier, he couldn't help but go on the expedition, and finally let the soldiers of the second battalion of the Qiankun Regiment pack up the 38 big cover like a flat shoulder and embark on the journey. The soldiers of this battalion looked listless, only blamed themselves for their bad luck, and drew a sign, the other two battalions could continue to do business in Wangjiang, but they wanted to go to Shipai. As for why they went and what they were going for, the soldiers of this battalion did not know at all, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with them.
