Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (33)

On June 21, Japan established the headquarters of the 11th Army in the country and appointed Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, commander of the 2nd Division in the northeast, as commander of the army. He wrote in his report: "After arriving at the battlefield in Central China, I learned from the reports of the advance officer Miyazaki, the head of the special affairs department of the Central China Dispatch Army, Major General Harada, and the head of the Hangzhou office, Hagiwara Nakasa, that the front-line troops of the Dispatch Army had been executing prisoners in large numbers under the pretext of food difficulties, and that it had become a bad habit. During the Battle of Nanjing, as many as 40,000 or 50,000 people were slaughtered, and many people plundered and raped the citizens. His thinking was very consistent with the Japanese army's base camp to defeat China and occupy China, so he was given the opportunity to be promoted beyond the ranks, and at the same time, it also made Shunroku Hata and others very dissatisfied.

Dissatisfied to dissatisfied, Okamura Ninji presided over the attack along the Yangtze River has been clear, under the jurisdiction of the 6th, 9th, 27th, 101st, 106th and a mixed brigade Hatian detachment, the strength is strong. Campaign target, Wuhan.

In order to form a coordinated operation with the Yangtze River attack line, the North China Front formed the Second Army with the Japanese troops trapped in the Yellow Flood Area, and replaced Nishio Shouzo as the commander of the Second Army by King Minoru of the Higashikure Palace, and led 170,000 people of the 3rd, 10th, 13th, and 16th Divisions to maneuver long distances to Shouchun and near Zhengyang Pass, using the Huai River as a supply line, and breaking through along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountain.

For the first time, the Yellow Flood showed its strategic role, and it caused so much trouble for the build-up of the Second Army of King Minoru of the Eastern Rimiya that preparations along the Yangtze River were completely in place, while the offensive on the northern line of the Dabie Mountains was delayed. Of course, it is not only the Yellow Flood Area that is causing trouble, but also Xu Ping and his gang entrenched in Wolf's Den Mountain.

Gong Qingyuan had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and his intelligence and reconnaissance troops were constantly bringing the news that the Japanese army was assembled in three ways, one was the 13th Division that had been washed away by the Yellow River to Shou County and the 16th Division that had retreated to Tianjia'an. The second route was from the Huaibei area, which crossed the Huai River, which had a large water volume, and entered the 3rd and 10th Divisions in the Zhengyangguan area of Bengbu. The third way is to use a fireboat from Nanjing to enter Chaohu Lake along the Misu River and assemble in Hefei the headquarters and directly subordinate troops of the East Jiuer Palace.

"None of the roads is small, and we can't move any way." Gong Qingyuan sighed, helpless.

"Then don't gnaw." Xu Ping said.

"If you don't gnaw, it's a waste!" Gong Qingyuan said unwillingly.

"Waste is waste." Jin Tongxuan's attitude was very clear: "We don't need to hit stones with eggs, the Japanese are not something we can finish fighting, the old men of the Military Command Bureau don't understand the situation, let us resist it, and we don't want to think about it, can we compare with the Japanese army with one army." We can take down one army of the Japanese army, so many troops in Lanfeng, we don't go directly to Tokyo! ”

Xu Ping also smiled, his army finally had a little appearance after piecing together, claiming that there were 5,000 men and horses, but in fact, there were less than 3,000 on the Wolf's Den Mountain, and some of them were in the hands of Song Erhu and part of them were in the hands of Yuan Doushu. With this 3,000 people to block the 170,000 army of King Minoru of the Higashikure Palace, you will know what the result will be with your toes. The Military Unification Bureau is also similar to the Central Military Commission, as soon as it opens its mouth, it is blocked, and it is as damn blind as it is. However, so many Japanese soldiers have passed by, and if they don't get some benefits, they are quite unhappy, and they must find a way to get a little cheaper, and they don't pluck their feathers, that's not Xu Ping's style.

"The Japanese will not always maintain a large unit, and there will be times when they are single, can we knock out one or two small units of him and make a little cheap." Xu Ping proposed.

"It should work." Gong Qingyuan thought about it and nodded.

"Can't do that!" Jin Tongxuan loudly denied.

Both of them set their eyes on Jin Tongxuan, Jin Tongxuan was so anxious that his face flushed, and said: "If we hit their small unit, we will attract their big unit, our wolf's nest mountain, but it can be cleaned up without a few strokes of his large unit." Even if we want to fight, we will have to wait for his large unit to go out before we start to pack up their logistical supply lines. In my opinion, the Japanese army has two supply lines, one is along the southern line of Jinpu Road to Bengbu, and the other is to Hefei by water. ”

Qin Jishi, who was sitting idly while saying this, also nodded, he rarely participated in military discussions, but as one of the main leaders of the Wolf's Den Mountain Base Area, he had to sit here and listen to other people. Seeing him nodding frequently, Gong Qingyuan smiled and said, "Lao Qin also nodded, he must agree with Xiao Jin's words, Lao Qin said your opinion." ”

Qin Jishi said with a smile: "I heard you say that the Japanese army's assembly this time is intended to make a road from Lu'an to Wuhan, echoing the Japanese army advancing westward from the Yangtze River. ”

Gong Qingyuan laughed: "It makes sense, it makes sense!" Lao Qin is also an expert. ”

"Verbal experts only!" Jin Tongxuan choked out: "Degree? What is Degree? Is it a degree to kill ten people or to snatch five carts of food? Is our degree the same as that of the Japanese? This level of certainty is very unreliable. ”

Xu Ping nodded and said, "Tongxuan has a point, we can't take risks. First, the Japanese won't stay here for long, and secondly, we won't have to eat without grabbing. ”

At the meeting, it was decided that when a large number of Japanese troops were gathered in this area, they would not show their heads, and that would be the time for us to start when the large Japanese army moved westward.

However, people are not as good as heaven, people don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you, early the next morning, Liu Qinglong made a phone call to the military headquarters in a hurry: "The Japanese on dog days actually came out to grab food!" Does the boss fight or not? ”

"Hit!" Xu Ping replied casually, the Japanese actually dared to come out to look for death, and they were sorry for themselves if they didn't fight. As for the decision discussed yesterday, it has long been thrown away.

This sentence: "hit" scared Jin Tongxuan enough, and he hurriedly called Liu Qinglong's department and asked what the situation was. Only then did Liu Qinglong have the opportunity to explain the situation, and the 16th Division had managed to climb out of the Yellow Flood Area.

The 16th Division is the division and regiment with the greatest influence on the Yellow River embankment, and as the vanguard of the pursuit, it has been chasing the Chinese army back and forth, and it seems that it is about to catch up with the Chinese army, but it did not expect the water of the Yellow River to come up from the sky and arrive in front of it in the blink of an eye.

The 16th Division turned around and ran, but the water seemed to be deliberately embarrassed with them, where they ran, the water chased where, how they chased the Chinese army before, this time they let the water chase a reversal, ran day and night, finally ran out of the range of the water, woke up, the water arrived again, ran like this for 20 days, ran to Huainan, no longer a soldier, the army is not an army. In Tianjia'an, the local people thought they were refugees and gave them a bowl of gruel before they were relieved. When the supplies and armaments from Bengbu were delivered to Tianjia'an, the ferocious features of the 16th Division were fully exposed. A few days later, they found that no one came to stop them, and they became even more Bengali, and the looting range spread to the periphery, and the striker came under Liu Qinglong's nose in the area of Kongdian Luqiao, and then Liu Qinglong's request was given.

"It's okay to fight, but you have to let the other party know that it was the local people who killed them, not us." Jin Tongxuan said.

"Why?" Liu Qinglong asked incomprehensibly.

"I don't want them to know that in their rear, there is such a force as us, we have to take advantage, we must take advantage of it secretly!" Jin Tongxuan said.

"Hehehehehe!" Liu Qinglong laughed.

After laughing, he was dumbfounded, how to secretly take advantage of it became his problem.

Summoned his subordinates to ask for advice, Zhao Xueliang, the leader of the first squadron, scolded as soon as he heard it: "I said captain, you are really stupid, the Japanese army is a squad, since the above agreed to kill, we will kill." Kill them and bury them on the spot, so that the devil will know who killed them. ”

"The problem is that the devil has lost a team, will a team be sent to find it?" Liao Mingxin, the leader of the second squadron, was a wounded soldier transferred from the 48th Army, and was previously a deputy company commander of the 173rd Division, a native of Binyang, Guangxi, and a graduate of the Nanning Military Academy. Shangfeng was worried that the Japanese would fight more and more, so we swallowed our anger, and even if we were killed, they would not know who killed them. ”

Liu Qinglong nodded, Zhao Xueliang also suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Fuck, you southerners still have a lot of flowers and intestines, and we northerners don't know so many twists and turns." ”

"Captain, leave this devil squad to our squadron, we will definitely use the means of refugees to clean them up." Liao Mingxin said.

Liu Qinglong nodded and said, "There are many wounded in your squadron, and there are only about a hundred people who can go into battle, so you have to deal with them carefully." ”

"No problem! Sure to win. Liao Mingxin said confidently: "Even if I beat it with a wooden stick and hit it with a stone, I will also kill this group of devils." ”

"Okay then, you go and prepare, kill this group of Japanese devils this morning, one less, I'll find trouble for you, if one of our soldiers dies, I'll also find trouble for you." Liu Qinglong spoke crisply, more and more like an officer.

"Yes!" Liao Mingxin replied loudly and left the headquarters.

Zhao Xueliang followed out and asked curiously: "Old Liao, Lao Liao, what trick do you want to use to kill this group of Japanese?" I don't really use rocks and sticks! ”

"I'm stupid!" Liao Mingxin replied: "I first hit them in an ambush, put them all down with snipers, and then let people strip all the Japanese devils, then get out the bullets on their bodies, and then smash them with wood and stones, and the ghosts can't see that we did it." ”

Zhao Xueliang stopped, his grandmother's, this trick, buddy, I will too!
