Chapter 10: Anqing (19)

After receiving Luo Wei's battle report, Mo Di just confessed: hand over all the prisoners to Zhao Jin, and Zhao Jin led his troops to retreat to Shipai to form the first battalion of Hao Wenbo's department. After that, he never gave orders to Luo Wei again. Luo Wei knew that the boss was avoiding suspicion, the so-called not in his position, not seeking his own politics, meddling too much, the subordinates of the 526 regiment had no opinions, and the above had opinions after all.

Receiving Jiang Chunyang's victory, Huoshan's Zheng Cangrong was happy to jump high, this is his first victory after taking over the position of division commander, with Luo Wei Zhong Ding Nai's two battalions, resisted Wang Zhanlin's two pseudo military camps plus a Japanese squadron, and won a complete victory, and finally Wang Zhanlin only led more than 200 people from the south to bypass Caizi Lake to reach the Lujiang River, and he was not embarrassed. As for Zhao Jin's department, Li Shengzong, the commander-in-chief of the six counties of Anqing, was even more happy, and he was angry that Wang Xianlin had taken away a battalion, and even a Zhao Jin descended from the sky, not only filling up Hao Wenbo's establishment, but also greatly increasing his strength. As for Hao Wenbo, Mo Enemy's words are holy words, not to mention one battalion commander, even two, he will accept all the orders.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Mo Di, he was pulled to the military headquarters by Ou Shounian less than three hours after the war, and Ou Shounian's words scared him a lot.

Ou Shounian said very solemnly, "Tianzong, I officially inform you that from today onwards, you will temporarily serve me as the director of intelligence in the military department, not a formal appointment, your appointment will be issued by the Interpretation Department, as for what position is appointed, I am not sure." It's just that before the official appointment is issued, you first arrest the intelligence work of the military department. As for the development of the work, you should first connect with Tang Ruru, director of the Intelligence Department of the Group Army Headquarters. ”

Mo Di nodded, followed the staff officer to the post that belonged to him, only to find that this was just an empty courtyard, and there was not even a table, let alone other equipment, and looked at the staff officer who led the way with an inquiring eye, only to see the other party said lightly: "Director Mo, I am only responsible for leading the way, I don't know anything else." "Turn around and leave.

Just when Mo Di was in a daze, I saw Yun Yinglin walk in with a group of people, carrying office furniture on his shoulders, holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone, mounting the map on the wall with all hands and feet, pulling up the telephone line, and quickly making the appearance of a combat readiness organ. Yun Yinglin said: "You call your guard company to help, and I won't send you another person here, and all kinds of expenses will be allocated by me here, and you can just let people go to me to get it." I know you have the radio, so I won't tune it out! ”

Mo Di wanted to ask something, but Yun Yinglin waved his hand, interrupted him, and continued: "Two things, both are big things. First, the Japanese army attacked Qinzhou Bay and had already occupied Qinfang. Second, Zhang Yichun, commander of the 48th Army, was transferred to the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, and the post of army commander was held by deputy army commander Ou Shounian. ”

Mo Di's mouth opened hugely, completely closed, the first was expected, the second was unexpected, Ou Shounian's ancestral grave was smoking, he was promoted to two levels in two months, from the division commander to the army commander, and he came down from the regiment commander, and he didn't know where to go for two months.

"Don't look like that." Yun Yinglin said with a smile: "When the Japanese army landed in Qinzhou Bay, the 26th Group Army in Lingshan naturally became important, and Chief Cai was reused, and our army commander naturally rose. ”

Mo Di also smiled, this is the reason, the so-called people in the court are good officials, it has been since ancient times.

Yun Yinglin left, Mo Di made a phone call and called Qin Guosheng over, knowing that Ou Shounian actually used his boss and guard company like this, Qin Guosheng also smiled and said to Mo Di: "Just treat it as a pastime!" ”

The radio station was moved, the antenna was raised, and the intelligence office of the 48th Army was officially opened to the public, and the first thing was reported to Tang Ruru to learn about the war in Guangxi.

Soon, the process of the Japanese landing operation in Qinzhou Bay was presented in front of the invincible.

November 15, typhoon, huge waves. The Japanese ships departing from Hainan braved the strong winds and waves, and after a little tidying up on Weizhou Island, the troops were divided into two routes and killed in Qinzhou Bay. The commander-in-chief was Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the 21st Group Army, and led the 5th Division of Jun Imamura and the 7th Taiwan Mixed Brigade of Shiota Dingqi, with the support of the 2nd Fleet and the 3rd Combined Air Force of the Navy, to divide the troops into two routes: the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division landed at Qisha in Fangcheng, the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division advanced along the north of the Qinzhou River on the other road, and the 3rd Taiwan Mixed Brigade landed at Lanwei in Qinzhou Bay. The road along the Qinzhou River was blown by the typhoon and rushed all the way in, until the steamer could not move forward before the infantry was lowered from the ship, the sky was drowsy, and it was difficult to argue with the ground. After swaying all the way in the wind and waves, the Japanese soldiers who vomited with yellow faces and blue lips and weak limbs collapsed on the ground as soon as they came ashore, and they rested for three hours before they regained their breath.

The defenders of Qinzhou were a regiment of the 19th Division, and they did not estimate at all that in such a stormy and rough weather, there would be Japanese ships visiting, let alone that the Japanese army would choose this weather to land, and the most unexpected thing was that the direction in which the Japanese army appeared was not the front, but the rear. The unprepared defenders fled by seizing the road, Longmen Port was lost, and the city of Qinzhou fell.

The defenders of the defense city fought vigorously for a while, but the defenders of only one regiment were too lonely and could only retreat to the 100,000 mountains behind them and let go of the gate from the defense city to Qinzhou.

"Fangcheng is Chen Jitang's old nest, and the defense is so sparse!" Mo Di said to Qin Guosheng with a smile.

"It is said that the defense of Qinfang will not be so sparse." Qin Guosheng said: "First, the bad weather is not enough to take precautions, second, the people in the Qinfang area are simple and have never worshiped martial arts, and the most important thing is that the Japanese army has been spreading the illusion of landing from Guangzhou Bay, so that the defense of the two provinces has focused on Zhanjiang and ignored the Qinfang. Cai Tingkai's troops and Ye Zhao's troops were basically deployed in the Xinyi area of Lingshan, and there was only one provisional division in the long Beibu Gulf. ”

"You have a point." Mo Di said: "Nanning is in danger, the current Nanning defense line, only Su Zuxin's 135th Division is stationed, and the nearest reinforcement is also the 170th Division of Guixian, I am afraid that the 135th Division will be lost before the arrival of the 170th Division." If the Japanese army occupies Nanning, then moves north, hits the Liuzhou Fourth Theater Headquarters, and then goes north along the Xianggui Railway, and then attacks the Japanese army in northern Hunan to the north, I am afraid that the Guangdong-Hanzhou line will be lost. ”

Qin Guosheng shook his head and said: "The Japanese army should know that Guangxi should not be occupied, but should occupy Guangxi, but I am afraid that the price paid will be greater than the occupation of Shanghai." All of us in Guangxi are soldiers, as long as an order is given, all of them will take up arms and fight the Japanese to the end, the Japanese army is powerless to march in northern Hunan, and there is no need to fall into the quagmire of Guangxi. In my opinion, the Japanese army occupied Nanning with ulterior motives. ”

"Ulterior motives! No, in your opinion, Guangxi is a monolith, in the eyes of the Japanese, Guangxi is a piece of soft tofu, our main combat forces in Guangxi are here, in the forefront of the Yangtze River, most of the people left in the rear are militia groups that have not experienced combat, there is more security, the national war is insufficient, you really have to face the menacing Japanese army, I am afraid that you have to transfer troops from the periphery, not to mention that this is the fifth division, the fifth division that once swept through North China, you can't be careless. Mo Di shook his head, disagreed with Qin Guosheng's opinion, and said seriously: "To occupy Guangxi, you can not only go to Guilin and enter Hunan to open up the Guangdong-Han line, but also go from Liuzhou to Yishan and pass through Liujia to enter Guizhou and enter the hinterland. It can be said that as long as Guangxi is occupied, the Japanese army will be able to turn half of the occupied rivers and mountains into most of them. In my opinion, the target of this attack on Guangxi is Guangxi, and concentrating forces to take Guangxi is the most important task of the Japanese army at present, so our struggle with the Japanese army in Guangxi will be a life-and-death battle and will be very cruel. ”

Qin Guosheng didn't agree with Mo Di's opinion, but he couldn't refute it, and walked away with his head down. In his opinion, the Japanese army's choice of this time to attack Guangxi was definitely a drunkard's intention. The Japanese army knew Guangxi very well, and Guangxi's manpower, material resources, and military capabilities were obvious to all, and as an attacker, it was completely impossible to take Guangxi without three to five divisions. It would have been possible to gather the three divisions of the 21 st Group Army of the Japanese Army, but at present, the 18 th Division has been mixed in Guangdong, and the 104 th Division has been scattered in Hainan and western Guangdong, becoming defenders. However, this attack on Guangxi was only a newly transferred Fifth Division and a mixed brigade from Taiwan, and although it had a huge fleet, it could only patrol the waters of Qinzhou Bay, and its artillery fire could reach as far as 10 kilometers inland, and it could not reach the shore and could not help. The Japanese have always been extremely far-sighted, and they will never let such a fleet do useless work, and there must be other schemes.

In the end, Qin Guosheng couldn't get the point.

There was silence in the intelligence department, everyone was silently busy with their own business, and occasionally a pencil fell to the ground, making a gentle crashing sound, which could also attract everyone's attention.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually turned west, the sun shot from the roof of the west wing, reflecting the lobby brightly, the confidential officer came over with the latest translation telegram, handed it to Mo Di, Mo Di glanced at it, and said to Qin Guosheng, who was contemplative at the door: "Guosheng, what you said makes sense, it does mean that you are a drunkard." ”

Qin Guosheng raised his head, ran to Mo Enemy's side and picked up the telegram, the content of the telegram was very simple, after occupying Qinzhou, the Japanese soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to the north in the direction of Xiao Dong, all the way around the 100,000 mountains, and advanced to the Ningming area, it was obvious that the purpose of the Japanese army on the latter road was to cut off the Sino-Vietnamese highway from Vietnam to China, and cut off an important international supply line for the War of Resistance.

Qin Guosheng was still shaking his head and said: "Compared with the transportation volume of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, our Sino-Vietnamese highway is nothing, even if the Japanese army cuts off the Yonglong Highway, there is also a road from Longbang to Jingcheng, and there are still a large number of manpower roads, it is not an ordinary difficulty to completely cut off the connection between China and Vietnam." The Japanese will not be so scheming. After saying that, he sat down dejectedly.

Seeing that Qin Guosheng had already gotten into the tip of the horns, Mo Di ignored him, used a pencil to outline the offensive line of the Japanese army, and then marked the troops near Nanning one by one, who could mobilize and who could not. The Japanese army attacked from two directions, and the command department could only put one dozen and one, and it was speculated from the usual practice that the white commander of the Guilin camp would definitely concentrate his forces to block the road in Nanning, and as for the road in Longzhou, it should be secondary.
