Chapter 10: Anqing (49)

Ou Shounian was dismissed from his post and sent to a special class at the Chongqing Army University for further study, but in fact it was because he bailed out some people in the AFS who shouted too loudly with slogans, which touched the most sensitive nerve of Chongqing's old Chiang. Because of the Yun Yinglin incident, the old man of the 19th Route Army conducted a comprehensive investigation, and finally burned the fire to Ou Shounian's buttocks. Mo Di knew that he was not coming back to liquidate himself, but because the 48th Army was in an extraordinary period, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief, at least Yun Yinglin would not take that road, as for what to do next, how to do it, take one step at a time. What was even more unexpected was that Wei Gaozhen, deputy commander of the 527 Regiment, was actually implicated and dismissed from his post and transferred to the Northwest Guerrilla Cadre Training Class to study for half a year. Mo Di knows that Wei Gaozhen has always swayed from side to side, was born in the army, is very smart, and served as a lieutenant platoon commander in the Tan Zhanrong Department of the Ningwu Army in his early years. , when the Wuwei Army entered Hunan Province, he actually returned to his hometown Jingxi and became a bandit to sit and investigate. After being appeased, he went to Donglan County with the Seventh Army to attack the Red Army, and was criticized by the army commander Liao Lei for his slow and delayed the fighter, and he fled back to Jingxi in a fit of anger and returned to his old business as a bandit. After that, he joined the Xiangdu peasant Red Guards to attack Xiangdu County, formed the "Anti-Japanese Eighteenth Army to Save the Country", and was reorganized into the Third Wing of the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou Border District Guerrillas, and served as the deputy commander-in-chief and the first captain. After the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party negotiated cooperation to resist Japan, Wei Gaozhen led his troops to accept the reorganization of the Kuomintang, served as the head of the Eighth Independent Regiment of the 21st Group Army, and went to Anhui to resist Japan. This time the purge, Wei Gaozhen was actually among them, which made Mo Di sigh, the world is impermanent, nothing more than that. It's just that in this way, there are fewer people in the six counties in the west who can lead the army, and I am afraid that it will be more powerful. One Jiang Chunyang, plus one Li Shengzong, is not as good as one Wei Gaozhen.

The new commander of the 48th Army did not lack the space for too long, and it was quickly determined that Su Zuxin, the former commander of the 135th Division, would serve as the commander.

For this appointment, everyone has no opinion, and unanimously agrees that it is worthy of virtue and ability, and everyone expects it. Although Su Zuxin is not from the Baoding Department, he only graduated from the Guangxi Army Primary School, but he has been active in the Guangxi military circles, and he has been in every link in the history of Guangxi wars in the past 20 years. He served as a platoon commander under Lu Rongting, a company attached under Ma Xiaojun, and then a company commander of Huang Shaohong's department and the battalion commander of Wu Tingyang's second column of the "Dinggui Thief Alliance". When attacking Shen Hongying, he killed Zheng Youwen, the commander of the Shen Division, and made military contributions to the unification of Guangxi by Li, Huang and Bai, which can be said to be the original team of the Xingui department. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, as the commander of the 135th Division, he adhered to Mingguang in the southern section of Jinpu Road and played a miracle. After the Great War in Guinan, the generals of all armies were punished, and those who were dismissed were dismissed, and Su Zuxin could still be removed from his post and retained, which shows that the task was completed impeccably.

So that everyone didn't expect that yes, Commander Su refused and was unwilling to take his position. The reason is very simple: due to the loss of Nanning, the people of more than a dozen counties in southern Guizhou were still ravaged by the Japanese army, and if the Japanese army was not beaten out of Guangxi, they would not leave Guangxi for a day.

At the reception banquet between Li Baicheng and Wei Yongcheng, Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan had some new understanding of the war situation in Guangxi, and only then did they know that they had been in eastern Anhui for more than a month, and the war situation in Guangxi had changed a lot.

Zhao Guolong used a tactic of pulling the bull's nose in the area of Lingshan in Qinzhou to bully the Japanese 22nd Group Army very lightly.

After the end of the Guinan War, the Japanese army established the 22nd Army in Nanning, leaving the former 18th Division commander Na Na Chengichi as the commander of the 22nd Army, under the jurisdiction of Major General Shiota Dingshi's Taiwan Brigade, Lieutenant General Sakurada Takeshi's Guards Mixed Brigade and Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito's Fifth Division. After a major battle, this army suffered serious losses, and after the war, it was not replenished by a single person, and it was really a remnant army. It is really difficult for a strong man to hold a large territory of Guinannuo with such a remnant army, not to mention that around them, there are also many Chinese troops, such as Li Yannian's Second Army, Gan Lichu's Sixth Army, Li Hexuan's 46th Army, Wei Yunsong's 31st Army, Deng Longguang's 35th Army, and Cai Tingkai's Yuegui Guerrilla Headquarters.

Among the many Chinese troops, the vast majority of the generals had a defensive attitude, and only the new 19th Division began to take the initiative to attack with a difference.

"The Japanese can't be allowed to swagger through the highway from Qinzhou to Nanning." Zhao Guolong said.

"I agree." It was the deputy division commander Kan Weiyong who voted in favor: "Even if you dig and dig the road to bury a few*, it will add some trouble to the Japanese!" ”

The division commander Qin Zhen did not agree very much, he believed that without the order of the peak, he should not fight privately.

Zhao Guolong knew the concerns of the division commander, as the commander of the first division, he took obedience as his duty, and fought privately. So it took two hours to draw up a battle plan. The plan is roughly divided into three parts: First, to harass the enemy, with a combination of small units and local guerrillas, to harass along the Yongqin Highway, Guitai Zeng Zuohu, Nameng Chen Xianghua, Tunmao Luo Huaguo and other guerrilla organizations are not weak and flexible in combat, provide them with guns and ammunition, let them plunder the Japanese material convoy along the road, and all the materials obtained belong to them. The purpose of this was to get the Japanese army to send troops to wipe out these guerrilla forces. As soon as the Japanese army is dispatched, the new 19th Division will have a chance. The second is traction, with the 56th Regiment of Gan Litian taking over the attacking Japanese army, pulling in the direction of Lingshan, trying to make the attacking Japanese army completely leave the Yongqin Highway and become a lone army. The third is to encircle and annihilate, with the 55th and 57th regiments as the mainstay, set up ambushes in suitable locations, and take down the Japanese army in one fell swoop. If the attacking force is large, the towing time should be extended, the traction area should be expanded, and the enemy army should be consumed in time and space, and finally the result of annihilating the enemy should be achieved.

It shall be submitted to the division headquarters in writing, and the division commander shall declare it to the army commander He Xuan. Qin Zhen looked at the plan and said to the deputy division commander and chief of staff beside him: "I will report it immediately, as long as the military department approves it, we will implement it." ”

As a graduate of the third phase of the Baoding Military Academy, He Xuan, who was a classmate of Bai Chongxi and Ye Qi at the same time, had a good sense of combat, and immediately approved the combat plan of the new 19th Division, and asked Feng Huang, commander of the 175th Division, to fight together with the new 19th Division and strive to achieve results.

From March to the end of April, under the arrangement of Zhao Guolong, the harassment operations were repeatedly effective, and Zeng Zuohu, a peasant from Guitai, took the lead in firing the first shot, and after three consecutive days of robbery on the road leading from Fangcheng to the Great Temple, the Japanese Taiwan brigade was enraged, and sent a squadron of Japanese troops with a shortage of quotas to carry out a "sweep" to Guitai from that day, and Zeng Zuohu immediately led more than 10 people, including Zeng Jiao, Zeng Defen, Zeng Shanji, and Zeng 16 of Louxiang Village, at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the same day. Drive into the dense woods on the hill across the river from Wangxian Bay, which is 1 km away from Guitai, and ambush it. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army entered the ambush shooting area, and Zeng Zuohu immediately ordered the attack to begin. The Japanese army was suddenly attacked, and they were confused for a moment, and quickly judged that this was just a small group of civilian armed forces, and organized fire to return fire. After more than ten minutes of fighting, Zeng Zuohu immediately ordered a retreat to the mountains. More than 100 Japanese troops frantically pursued, and plunged into the ambush circle of the 524th Regiment of the 175th Division.

Next is Chen Xianghua of Zhushan Village, after the Japanese army occupied Xiaodong, Chen Xianghua mobilized the villagers to have money to contribute, guns to guns, grain to produce food, and make a strong contribution, on November 30, 1939, a Zhushan anti-Japanese self-defense force with more than 40 people, and served as the captain, after the end of the Guinan Campaign, Cai Tingkai, commander of the Guangdong-Guizhou Guerrilla Command, appointed Chen Xianghua as the captain of the fourth team under the fifth brigade of the anti-Japanese guerrillas on the South Guangdong Road. Under the leadership of Chen Xianghua, the fourth team was active along the Yongqin Highway. Zhao Guolong asked Zhang Shuxiong, the leader of the plainclothes team of the new 19th Division, to cooperate with Chen Xianghua with a battalion of brothers, and took the initiative to attack the Japanese stronghold in Shuirongtang, Xiaodong Town, and intercepted the Japanese automobile team at Xiaodong Daworm Ridge. Since Nameng Xiaodong is a necessary place for the Yongqin Highway, the Japanese army absolutely cannot allow any problems in this area, and the Taiwan brigade sent an infantry wing to be stationed in Xiaodong to patrol the highway every day. Because of the elusive operations of Zhang Shuxiong and Chen Xianghua's troops, the Japanese army's infantry wing, which was lacking, was exhausted, and the small troops sent by the new 19th Division continued to be ambushed by the Gan Li Tianbu three times, and suffered serious losses.

The victory of taking the initiative to fight made He Xuanle dance so hard that he almost couldn't find the north, and the biggest fun in every day was to report to the fourth war zone. To say that He Xuan is a person, with high IQ and low EQ, emphasizing military affairs and ignoring politics, in the case of a loss of troops in the country, only he Guinan wishes victory every day, which is really eye-catching.

In the middle of April, He Xuan's good luck came to an end, and He Xuan, who had tasted enough of the sweetness, was no longer satisfied with the small achievements of capturing three or eight large covers and five branches every day and destroying two enemies.

This time, it was the Tunmao Anti-Japanese Zhuangding Regiment that struck.

Luo Huaguo of Tunmao Village followed Sun Yat-sen in his early years, and also served as Huang Mingtang's secretary, and resigned from public office in 1938 to return home to live idlely, and was quite prestigious in the local area. After the Japanese army occupied the Yongqin line, they went out to rob, burn and kill, arrest people and build roads, and on the other hand, they sent traitors to move around, asking the masses to surrender to the Japanese and be "obedient to the people". At the time of the national crisis, Luo Huaguo quickly organized an anti-Japanese strong regiment with more than 480 participants, and personally served as the head of the anti-Japanese strong ding regiment, with two brigades. After its establishment, the Anti-Japanese Zhuangding Regiment immediately carried out guerrilla activities in the vicinity of Xiaodong and Bancheng, and often attacked small groups of enemies who entered the village to rob. It has played a great role in defending the fleeing masses, protecting the production of the masses behind enemy lines, suppressing traitors who engage in sabotage activities, and maintaining public order behind enemy lines.

On 20 April, the Zhuangding Regiment, which had already engaged Xiao Dong's Japanese army for the sixth time, immediately retreated to the ambush point laid by the 525th Regiment of Huang Bingtian of the 175th Division. Huang Bingtian laughed happily when he saw about a squadron of Japanese troops running behind the Zhuangding Regiment, and once again checked his firepower configuration, just waiting for the Japanese troops to enter the urn.

When Wong Bingtian's first shot rang out, the Japanese pursuers did not withdraw as usual, but quickly occupied the high ground on the left and attacked the 525th Regiment. Just as Huang Bingtian was about to outflank the Japanese troops in the opposite position, he found that a follow-up unit of the Japanese army, a complete Japanese infantry brigade, had appeared in the direction of Xiao Dong.

When Huang Bingtian was about to withdraw, he found that the troops had been touched by the Japanese army.

There was a fierce battle between the two sides. Huang Bingtian relied on his familiarity with the terrain and fought and walked, and after suffering serious losses, he withdrew from the battle, and the 525th Regiment suffered serious losses.

After this battle, the previous achievements were wasted, and the Fourth Theater issued an order to transfer He Xuan to the headquarters of the 16th Group Army, and Zhou Zuhuang was appointed commander of the 46th Army, taking full responsibility for guerrilla operations on the front line of Qinyong.

In guerrilla warfare, small victories are turned into big victories, time is exchanged for space, offense is used for defense, operations are guided, fierce flames are curbed repeatedly, stubborn enemies are repeatedly defeated, morale is boosted, and the spirit is booming. Mo Di did not remember when Chairman Chiang said this in the telegram, but the chairman was right, guerrilla warfare should not be greedy for merit, but should accumulate steps to achieve thousands of miles.
