Chapter 8: Guerrilla (25)

Water is good water, the water of the Xiangjiang River originates in Guilin, converging Xiaoshui and other tributaries, and has become like a big river. Tea is good tea, Yunnan Luo Jinlun brought good Yunnan black tea, aged old tree Pu'er. He walked from Kunming to Hengshan for more than half a month, and it was very hard. "We've been building roads all the way." Luo Jinlun said: "There are always very few cars in Kunming, and the roads are not developed. ”

Everyone is very unfamiliar with Yunnan, a place far away from the emperor of Tiangao, only knowing that Lu Han organized a group army from the south of Caiyun to the war-torn anti-Japanese front line, expressing the determination of the whole nation to fight together. The 60th Army, composed of the Yunnan Army, held the front line of Chenwafang and Yuwangshan for 27 days during the second phase of the battle of Taierzhuang in Xuzhou, and it played some momentum and suffered heavy casualties. Chen Zhongshu, commander of the 542nd Brigade, Dong Wenying, commander of the 1078th Regiment, Chen Haoru, acting commander of the regiment, Long Yunjie, commander of the 1080th Regiment, Yan Jiaxun, commander of the 1082nd Regiment, Mo Zhaoheng, commander of the 1083rd Regiment, and Huang Yunlong, deputy commander of the 1081st Regiment, were killed in battle; More than half of the battalion, company, and platoon commanders were also killed or wounded, and more than half of the whole army was killed or wounded, and the troops could only be reduced to five regiments after the war. Regarding the heroic battle of the Dian army, Long Yun said very proudly: "The country is free and equal, and only blood can be exchanged." "The Sixty Army fought bravely, and the people of Wangdian continued to work hard." Brigadier Chen Zhongshu said before his death: "For decades, the Japanese have deceived me too much, and this time I went out to resist Japan, I have made arrangements for my family, and I have vowed to repay the country with my determination to die." It is also like Hong Zhong Da Lu, echoing in the Chinese sky.

Colonel Liu Jing nodded and said: "The Japanese army occupied Guangdong, in a vain attempt to open up the Guangdong-Hanzhou line, the Japanese navy completely blockaded the Beibu Gulf of Guangzhou Bay, the Soviet Union and the United States could not enter the port from the sea, and the French occupied Vietnam was afraid of offending the Japanese, and did not agree to dock ships, so they could only dock in British Burma, and then pull it to Kunming through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and then send it from Kunming to Guiyang by land or to Chongqing by water on the Yangtze River." Most of the cars of the party-state have been concentrated on this line, and the heavy transportation can be seen. ”

Luo Jinlun looked at Liu Jing very agreeably, this polite and polite person, it is estimated that he was born in intelligence, and this kind of secret can only be understood by the intelligence system, and said: "I have walked along the Guikun Highway this time, and I have a deep experience, all the military management along the way, the vehicles are constant, and the road is overwhelmed. ”

Liu Jingzhi really did intelligence, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Does this road have landslides every year?" ”

Luo Jinlun nodded and said, "This road has a collapse and a waterway, if there is a problem with the Yunnan-Burma highway, it will be troublesome." ”

Mo Di nodded approvingly: "This highway has become the lifeline of material transportation, if we can't ensure the smooth transportation, I'm afraid that our front line will be more difficult." ”

Zhang Zhinong knew Mo Di quite well, and said with a smile: "That's not hard for you Colonel Mo, I heard that your 1056 regiment is basically all Japanese weapons, and most of the armaments are captured from the Japanese army, and it doesn't matter if there is no supply." ”

Mo Di smiled and said, "It's still related!" The Japanese army is not a wooden man, and the armament is at our disposal. In order to be able to get captured from the Japanese, our losses were also quite large. The most important thing is that every time it comes to a battle, it will shrink back, and every time it is necessary to consider whether the operation can be recouped with consumption, whether the expenditure and income can be balanced, and whether it will lose money. Once there are concerns, the results of the battle will be greatly reduced. ”

"Hehehehehe!" Zhang Zhilong laughed and said, "Are you fighting a war or doing business." ”

Everyone laughed along, fighting a war has become a business, and we have to consider these issues, this battle is really difficult to fight.

After laughing, Liu Jingzhi asked Luo Jinlun again when the rainy season on the Yunnan-Burma line is generally and how much impact it is estimated on the transportation work. Seeing him so solemn, several other people also became serious. Luo Mianlun also carefully described the situation of the rainy season and the impact on traffic. Finally, Liu Jingzhi said: "Tomorrow when we arrive at the school, we will make a proposal on this issue, point out the crisis faced by the Yunnan-Burma Highway in the rainy season, and come up with a solution. ”

Mo Di looked at Liu Jingzhi, who was slightly older than himself, thirty-six or seventeen years old, but much more mature than himself, he just saw the problem happening, he had already reached the stage of solving the problem, it was not a master who found the problem, he was able to propose a solution, of course, the most important thing was to solve the problem.

"Strengthen the roadbed before the rainy season comes." Liang Cailin said: "The rainy season in Guangdong every year is also very terrible, storms and rains, so every year around the New Year is the time to concentrate on road repair, first repair the road, and the heavy rain can withstand it." ”

"I think the most important thing is to recognize the importance of this path." Liu Jingzhi said: "Many people think that the use of Yunnan-Burma road transport is only temporary, and then we can negotiate with Vietnam to enter the port from Haiphong, and then transport it by rail to Kunming or transport it to Nanning by road." Some people even believe that it is impossible for the Japanese army to stand on its feet in Guangdong, and as long as Commander Yu Hanmou of Guangdong counterattacks in the spring, the Japanese will certainly be able to drive the Japanese out of the mouth of the Pearl River, and at that time, the Yunnan-Burma Highway will no longer be used, and a large amount of manpower and material resources will be used to repair a temporary road, which will not be able to be drawn. A few days ago, the Guangxi Air Brigade blew up three Japanese warships on Weizhou Island, and when the news came, the whole city of Chongqing marched, believing that the tense situation along the southern coast would change accordingly, and that the Japanese army had lost its superiority in the south and could not take the initiative to attack. ”

"Colonel Liang, you are from Guangdong, but I want to talk about the current offensive and defensive situation in Guangdong, and whether you can drive the Japanese out of Guangdong." Li Shigui said: "In my opinion, this is not very likely, if we can get out, there is no need for the Guangdong side to send personnel to participate in this tour cadre class." Guerrilla cadres, guerrilla cadres, are not behind enemy lines, what guerrilla can be fought. In fact, we have been fighting guerrilla warfare for nearly a year last year, but it was very difficult, with fewer and fewer personnel, narrower and narrower areas under our jurisdiction, and more and more people switched to the appeasement army. He came to Hengshan from northern Jiangsu, all thanks to the blessing of winter, the water volume of the Yellow River decreased, and the water froze into ice in many places, so he smuggled from northern Jiangsu to Li Benyi's Mingguang Supervision Area, from Mingguang to Taihu Lake, and after crossing the Yangtze River in Wangjiang, he entered the fourth war zone and came to Hengshan.

Liang Cailin shook his head a little distressedly and said: "We fought very hard, in early October last year, the Japanese 21st Army attempted to land in Daya Bay and capture Guangzhou. On the 20th, the Japanese 18th Division launched a full-scale offensive, our defense line was broken through, and the defenders retreated. On the 21st, the Japanese army captured Shahe and occupied the urban area of Guangzhou. The Japanese 104th Division advanced north of Guangzhou and captured Taipingchang; On the 23rd, Conghua was occupied. The 5th Division, in cooperation with the navy, captured the Humen Fortress on the 23rd; On the 25th, Sanshui was captured; On the 26th, he fell into Foshan again and arrived in the southern suburbs of Guangzhou on the 29th. At this point, the Japanese army took control of Guangzhou and nearby important places. After that, under the leadership of Commander Yu, we fought a desperate battle with the Japanese army invading Guangdong, but we used all our strength to fight the Japanese army with all our strength. The main reasons for this are the following three points: First, after the Battle of Songhu, most of the main forces of the Guangdong army went north, Zhang Da led the 62nd Army, Zhang Ruigui led the 63rd Army, Li Hansoul led the 64th Army, Li Zhenqiu led the 65th Army, Ye Zhao led the 66th Army, and Deng Longguang led the 83rd Army. 2. The Japanese army was well-equipped, and the three divisions and the navy and air force marched at the same time, and the momentum was menacing and unstoppable. Third, the coast of Guangdong is too wide and the coastline is too long to defend, and the Guangdong Navy led by General Chen Ce is completely unable to defend our thousands of miles of sea frontier. Therefore, in the future, how to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines has become our main task of delaying the enemy and destroying the enemy, otherwise we would not have sent me to participate in the guerrilla cadre class. ”

Liang Cailin's words were like a heavy blow, hitting Mo Di's heart, and Mo Di suddenly shouted: "Oh no! ”

Liang Cailin asked, "What's bad?" ”

"The coastline you just talked about reminds me of a problem." Mo Di said: "You know, Guangxi has no coastline, starting from the mouth of the Beilun River, there is Vietnam, this side is Guangdong, and it has nothing to do with Guangxi. ”

Liang Cailin nodded, he knows this geographical division, Guangxi does not have a developed maritime area, the entire coast belongs to Guangdong, Chen Jitang, who was once in Guangdong, is a person from Malu Town, Beilun River, Wu Jianxiong, deputy commander of the 63rd Army, is a native of Fangcheng, the commander of the 63rd Army is Zhang Ruigui is a native of Qinzhou, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, Xiang Hanping, who is the only one who exists in Guangdong, is a native of Hepu, and Deng Longguang, the commander of the 83rd Army, is a Mao celebrity. However, this area was the weakest defended, and if the Japanese landed at Zhanjiang or Qinzhou Bay in Guangzhou Bay, it could be said that it would be like no one.

"Traditionally this is not the jurisdiction of the Guangxi army." Mo Di said: "Although after the establishment of the Fourth Theater of Operations, the two Guangxi and Guangxi have been deployed in a unified manner, but the area is still very distinct, and the southernmost defensive line of General Mo Shujie of our 175th Division is in the Nanxiao area of Datang, and Xiao Dong, not far away, belongs to the management of the Guangdong side, which is the biggest weakness in South China. ”

Several people present were frightened by Mo Enemy's words, if the Japanese army sent another offensive team consisting of three divisions to land from Qinzhou, or from Nanning, it would not be more difficult to open the Hunan-Guizhou line than from Guangzhou. In Guangdong, there is also a Nanling Ridge in northern Guangdong like a barrier, and in Guangxi, once it breaks through the foothills of the 100,000 Great Mountains, it is the Hunan and Guizhou Great Corridor, where the Japanese army's mechanized operations are very useful.

Liu Jingzhi clenched his fists tightly, knocked on the table a few times rhythmically, and secretly made up his mind that he must report the importance of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and must not place too much hope in Liangguang, unless the entire Beibu Gulf is assigned from Guangdong to Guangxi and defended by Guangxi, otherwise, it will be easy for the Japanese army to land in the Beibu Gulf.

Of course, everyone knows that it is completely impossible to assign Qin Lian to Guangxi, although Yu Hanmou has completely surrendered to the central government, but he is still a warlord in his bones, a warlord who owns land, and it is impossible to take such a big advantage for the Gui family.
