Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (23)

"One division, 8,000 people, not to mention people, even if it is 8,000 pigs, it will take manpower to kill." Jiang Chunyang's words made Mo Di laugh, this politician, who became the deputy head of the regiment, also opened his mouth and closed his mouth to kill people, and he really decided his head.

"These people don't necessarily have to die, most of them are peasant disciples in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is natural for them to serve as soldiers, but they are soldiers who help the Tao, Liang Hongzhi's soldiers, and Wang Jingwei's soldiers in the future. Liang Hongzhi's government is not worthy of its name, but Wang Jingwei's government is very different, and your old Jiang moved to Wuhan and then to Chongqing, in the eyes of the common people, it may not be more orthodox than the old Wang in Nanjing. Mo Di smiled and said: "The relationship between us and them should be different from that of the Japanese, and it is best to let them know this, there is no need to beat them to the point of fire and fight hard with us, then the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Jiang Chunyang nodded and said, "I'll discuss with the Political Department to see how to take a political offensive against Liu Zuoxin." ”

Mo Di shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's find an opportunity to beat them once first, so that they can understand that coming to Anqing is not a good errand, and then they will be obedient." ”

Jiang Chunyang laughed: "Boss, you are really insidious, politics combines with military, military promotes politics, the so-called slap rewards a fruit, that's what you say!" ”

In Qianshan City, because Ouyang Jin's first battalion and Zhong Dingnai's third battalion have left, there is only one guard battalion left, and if the guard battalion is sent out again, this place will really become an empty city. However, it is not possible to send out the guard battalion, and if you do not go out, you will not be able to understand the enemy's dynamics, and if you do not understand the enemy's dynamics, you will not be able to grasp the situation in a timely manner, and you will fall into passivity.

He Degui, the head of the Political Department, came up with an idea to issue guns to the baggage brigade, equip the baggage brigade, become the garrison force of the hidden mountain, and liberate the guard battalion. Mo Di feared that doing so would reduce the number of people doing business, which would lead to income difficulties and make his economy difficult. He Degui told Mo Di that because the 123rd Battalion was stationed in Gaohebu, Taihu Lake, and Zongyang, all kinds of expenses could be raised locally, and the expenditure was reduced a lot, and there was little pressure on logistics. On the other hand, the current Qianshan, the business has been on the right track, the income is very stable, just resell the materials of Anqing to the Lu'an area of Yuexi Huoshan, you can make a lot of money, and you don't have to worry about the income at all. On the other hand, it is also a good thing to involve logistics personnel in some military operations, at least so that they will not forget their military status, and in addition to earning money to make ends meet, they also have the responsibility of defending their families and the country.

Jiang Chunyang agreed with He Degui's opinion very much, thinking that there was a guard battalion to investigate outside, and all kinds of information were well informed, and the hidden mountain would be much safer, so that the enemy would not know about it when he hit the door. In the absence of other alternatives, Mo Di also agreed with He Degui's opinion and asked Shi Chonglian and Thin Monkey Company to move in the direction of Anqing.

The national army is moving, the Japanese army is not idle, on the day of the departure of Shi Chonglian and Thin Monkey Company, the Japanese puppet army in Anqing also went out of the city, and their destination was Gaohebu. Gaohebu is the north gate of Anqing leading to Jianghuai, and it is also the throat of the southwest Anhui region that leads to the river and the sea. The most important thing is that this place is too close to Anqing, and the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly. This was the first large town occupied by the Japanese army after entering Anqing in June 1938, and with the westward advance of the Sixth Division, the Japanese army in Anqing was seriously underprotected, and could only send a squad of Japanese troops to garrison. A squad of more than a dozen people, how can they be Yang Kezhi's opponents, guerrilla ambushes, piecemeal, and soon a squad will have no bones. In March, taking advantage of the New Fourth Army's transfer of Yang Kezhi to Feixi, Liu Maizai sent a company to Gaohebu in the empty city to take a big advantage. How Liu Maizai's soldiers were Huang Tianhua's opponents, Ruan Dongsheng made a cannonball, Ouyang Jin succeeded in a strong attack, a company of the appeasement army was half dead and half surrendered, and Gaohebu easily fell into Huang Tianhua's hands. In April, Huang Tianhua returned Gaohebu to the New Fourth Army, and until the withdrawal of the New Fourth Army in July, it was always in the hands of the New Fourth Army. Anqing's Kiyono Naoyuki Osaku couldn't help but cook without rice, so he could only watch the New Fourth Army roll around in Gaohebu and feel uncomfortable. Now the situation is very different, with Kazuo Aoki's 130th Wing, and Liu Zuoxin's Sixth Division of the Appeasement Army, the number of people is very different. The first step is to take Gaohebu, cut off the passage between Qianshan and Tongcheng, and divide Anqing into two, to the north, you can clean up Tongcheng's Qin Zhenyuan, and to the west, you can clean up Qianshan's invincible, which is really a wonderful move.

This time the Japanese puppet army combination is a puppet regiment and a Japanese squadron, killing Ouyang Jinying in Gaohebu, and it really responds to Liao Lei's prediction, in the future, we will face a combination of a small number of Japanese troops and a large number of puppet troops. After replenishing sufficient personnel, Liu Maizai's 28th Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Second Army of the Appeasement Army became a standard regiment of 1,300 people, with three battalions and nine companies, plus a machine gun platoon and a guard platoon.

It's just that on the march, Liu Maizai, who has the rank of colonel on his shoulder, followed behind the captain of a Japanese squadron with the rank of Shaozuo, nodding his head and waist, very incongruous, Liu Maizai is tall, the Japanese are short, Liu Maizai is bent back, the Japanese are holding his chest, Liu Maizai is wearing a mighty big-brimmed hat, and the Japanese are wearing obscene narrow and small dung yellow military hats, and a fart curtain-like hat hanging. The most funny thing is a translator wearing a black cardigan and a Japanese army trousers, wearing a Japanese military hat, between the Japanese and Liu Maizai, I don't know if the level is not up to par or what Liu Maizai said is too local, and the translator is so anxious that he sweats.

"Taijun, Commander Liu said that it is best to divide the troops and attack together." The translator is in the choice of words and sentences: "According to intelligence, there is only one battalion of the 48th Army in Gaohebu, that is, there are only about 300 people, and we have more than 100 excellent imperial troops and more than 1,300 fully armed imperial troops to deal with the other side's 300 or so people. Sun Tzu said, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is multiplied, the enemy can fight, if it is few, it can escape, and if it is not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. ”

He was shaking his head here, and he was proud that he had translated a large passage of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he was not wary of the Japanese coming: "Sun Tzu? How old are you to have grandchildren? Even if you have grandchildren, how big can that little bastard be? He can be trusted! ”

Fortunately, Liu Maizai can't understand Japanese, otherwise it would be strange if he had to laugh out loud.

The translator had no choice but to introduce Sun Wu, a great military artist during the Warring States period, and the Japanese understood this time and said: "Sun Wu, I know that in the Imperial Military Academy, I studied his works, but I didn't know that he was your grandson." ”

The interpreter almost vomited blood, and it was not easy for the Japanese to understand that calling someone a certain son was an honorific title for him. The Japanese finally understood and said, "My name is Matsushita Jiro, and according to your statement, I should be called Matsushitako, is that what you mean?" It seems that we Japanese are more polite, not called Zi, called Jun, Matsushita-kun is better than Matsushita-ko. ”

The translator nodded wildly, but his belly was dark: Your name is Matsushita Jiro, which is the second son under the pine tree, and it is more appropriate to call Matsushita-kun than Matsushita-kun.

After learning a passage of "Sun Tzu's Attack", the Japanese rejected Liu Maizai's suggestion and said: "Since our strength is much higher than that of the other side, there is no need to engage in any conspiracy, advance in a grand manner, and let the other side retreat in the face of difficulties." ”

Liu Maizai thought about it and didn't squeak anymore.

The distance from Qianshan to Gaohebu and from Anqing to Gaohebu is roughly the same.

The marching speed of the two sides is also roughly the same, the thin monkey even marched towards Gaohebu under the scorching sun, they did not go fast, from Qianshan to Gaohebu more than 30 kilometers, one day is enough, and Gaohebu can still catch up early in the morning. Liu Maizai and Matsushita Jiro, who set off from Anqing, were also sweating profusely from the sun, they took the big road, and the width of the road showed the viciousness of the sun, and when they saw the shade of the trees, they immediately ran over, and they never wanted to come out again.

A little after noon, the Japanese puppet army passed the Moon Mountain, and the Thin Monkey Company had not yet arrived at Gongling, however, the secret post arranged by Ouyang Jin in the Moon Mountain had already transmitted the news of the Japanese puppet army's transit to Gaohebu by walkie-talkie, and Ouyang Jin also transmitted the news to the regiment headquarters in Qianshan at the first time.

The headquarters of the 526th Regiment, with the arrival of the telegram, immediately consciously entered the wartime state, Jiang Chunyang was a little confused, and kept repeating a sentence: "Sooner or later, it will come!" He Degui stood quietly aside, he opened his mouth a few times, and swallowed the words back, he knew that his combat level was not too high, and he wanted to say his thoughts, but he was afraid of disrupting the invincible train of thought, so he was hesitating.

Mo Di saw the telegram and pondered for a while before saying to Lan Guosheng, who was standing aside, "Tell Ouyang Jin to find an opportunity to fight a guy, and then withdraw from Gaohebu." ”

"Withdraw from the High River Port? Give up the high river port to the enemy? He Degui's eyes widened: "Wouldn't that just satisfy the Japanese." ”

"The enemy army is huge, and we can't stop it with one enemy and five." Mo Di said: "Since you can't stop it, don't stop it at all, the Japanese army has occupied Gaohebu, and we just want to play with them." ”

"Tuanza, I have a suggestion." Lan Guosheng said: "We still have a large number of * in Gaohebu, whether to let the battalion commander of Jinyang be buried in the barracks, there are many Japanese puppet soldiers, and they will definitely choose our old military camp to be stationed, and after they settle down, send someone to ignite the * at night, which should have some effect." ”

Mo Di smiled and said: "The idea is good, it shouldn't have some effect, it is very effective, but this is the second step, the first step is to find a place to block the enemy army that is coming, without a fight, in front of the people, we can't explain." ”

Jiang Chunyang nodded, Mo Dou's idea was exactly what he needed, and he immediately ran away when he saw the ghost shadow, which was really not the style of the 526 regiment.

"Inform the thin monkey to set up camp in the area of Niuxingling, and wait for the battalion to be withdrawn from Gaohebu." Mo Di said: "Tell Battalion Commander Luo Wei that Zhong Liang's heavy firepower company will set off immediately to reinforce Gaohebu, and in addition, his own spy company must also be ready to go." ”

Qin Guosheng took a look, this is the boss's family background, take out all the family background, it seems that the battle of Gaohebu is not trivial.
