Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (26)

Mo Di really didn't agree to go to the * in the barracks tonight, he didn't expect to bring trouble to the people of Gaohebu, but he just felt that this was a one-step killing move, and if he wanted to use it, he would use it at the most critical time, the so-called good steel was used on the blade, four hundred catties * two large water tanks, the power was extraordinary, this was his own killer weapon. On the other hand, although the Japanese puppet army lost more than 100 people in the Battle of Nanwazi, it did not hurt its muscles and flesh compared to a team of 1,500 people, and it still needs to be further encroached on, peeling and cramping step by step. Mo Di secretly made up his mind that in the summer of 1939, he spent time with this gang of devils and two devils in Gaohebu, as long as he could knock out some of the Japanese puppet army piecemeal, and finally activate the two big *, and get rid of two-thirds of the more than 1,000 Japanese puppet army, it would be considered a success.

When he handed over the battle plan to the headquarters of the 176th Division in Lu'an, the division commander Ou Shou Nian was happy, and proudly said to the deputy division commander Zheng Cangrong that as long as the 176th Division has an invincible enemy, it will not worry about no achievements, and everyone else is focused on defending the territory, and only he wants to kill people.

Zheng Cangrong nodded.

Zheng Cangrong, 45 years old, from Guilin, Guangxi. He studied in Guangxi Army Primary School, Wuchang Army No. 3 Preparatory School, and graduated from Baoding Military Academy No. 3. He experienced the whole process of the rise of the Xingui system in Guangxi, served as a platoon commander in the model battalion of Ma Xiaojun, served as a joint attached to Bai Chongxi, served as a staff officer of Huang Shaohong's Guangxi Thief Army Headquarters, and served as the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 15th Regiment of Yin Chenggang of the 8th Brigade of Zhong Zupei of Li Zongren's 7th Army during the Northern Expedition. After that, he served in the military academy, and in September 1934, he was admitted to the second special class of the Army University for further study. In August 1937, he graduated from Lu University, just in time for the Battle of Songhu, and served as the colonel, deputy director of the staff office, and the director of the major general of Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army.

After Li Pinxian disbanded the 11th Group Army and took charge of the 21st Group Army, Zheng Cangrong was transferred to the 176th Division as a major general and deputy division commander. His arrival brought a happy message: Division Commander Ou Shounian had made many military exploits during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and he wanted to make further progress and take over the post of deputy commander of the 48th Army. Everyone knows that Zhang Yichun is not suitable to be the commander of the 48th Army, and the reason why he has always occupied this position is because of Liao Lei's solid fate. Now that Liao Lei has retreated to the second line, Zhang Yichun will be washed out of the 48th Army sooner or later, and the position of the army commander is Ou Shounian. Being able to serve as the commander of the 48th Army, known as the Yellow Eel of Jiagang, in his thirties, Ou Shounian feels very enjoyable when he thinks about it. After Ou Shounian left, the position of the division commander left behind did not need to be Zheng Cangrong's, Zheng Cangrong's Fuzheng completely achieved Li Pinxian's goal of directly managing the 176th Division, the 176th Division is too strong, with Tan Heyi's bravery, Zhou Xiong's wisdom, invincible ability, Qin Zhenyuan's ruthlessness, and Yang Chuangqi's stability, it is too wasteful not to be included in the account.

At present, the state of the 176th Division's division headquarters is basically in the era of passing on the help and leading, the lieutenant general and division commander Ou Shounian let go of everything, the major general and deputy division commander Zheng Cangrong is concerned about everything, the major general chief of staff Yun Yinglin is left and right, and the director of the political department of the major general Tan Heyi does not help each other. Deputy Chief of Staff Li Shang, Chief of Staff Zhou Xiong, and others did not participate in the speeches of the commanders, but drew a map of the situation between the enemy and us on the map, deduced possible future events, and soon came up with a battle plan and handed it to Chief of Staff Yun Yinglin.

Chief of Staff Yun Yinglin took the draft of the battle plan, glanced at it, and said with a smile on the side: "Mo Tianzong has the ability, and his combat power is the first of the three regiment commanders of our division, he will not only fight, but also lead the troops, the other two regiments of the three regiments are full of numbers, and the 526th regiment is overnumbered." Our staff believes that we can let Wei Gaozhen, deputy of the 527th Regiment in Yuexi, lead a battalion to Qianshan to support the Mo enemy, and Qin Zhenyuan of the 528th Regiment in Tongcheng will move to the Liantan area, ready to support the Mo Regiment at any time, so that the Mo Regiment can take the Japanese puppet army in Gaohebu in one fell swoop. ”

Ou Shounian turned his head sideways and looked at Zheng Cangrong: "What does Deputy Division Commander Zheng think?" ”

Zheng Cangrong thought for a while and said, "Deputy Wei Tuan can be reinforced, and Qin Tuan had better not move." Seeing Ou Shounian looking at him with inquiring eyes, Zheng Cangrong continued: "There is a squadron of the Japanese army in Gaohebu, although there is a squad eliminated, there are more than 100 people, and Liu Mai's more than 1,000 people are not badly damaged, and their strength is still there. I think Mo Enemy means boiling frogs in warm water, slowly conditioning the enemies in Gaohebu, so that they can reduce little by little. If we come up with a posture of attacking Gaohebu with great fanfare, the Japanese army in Anqing will also be reinforced. In the Anqing area, there is a brigade headquarters of the Japanese army, a short 130 wing, and a neatly staffed 6th Division of the Pacification Army. Therefore, time can only be exchanged for space, and small victories can be accumulated into big victories, and the idea of the invincible regiment commander is correct. ”

Ou Shounian nodded and said, "Tianzong went to Hengshan to study for a few months and came back, and the battle became more and more like the Red Army on Jinggang Mountain back then!" In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, I had a lot of dealings with my uncle (General Cai Tingkai) of the 19th Route Army in Fujian and the Red Army in the Shanghang area of Longyan. Deputy Division Commander Zheng can face up to the situation and make accurate judgments, which is very good, and I can rest assured that the 176th Division will be handed over to you. ”

Zheng Cangrong smiled and didn't make a sound, Ou Shounian was born in the 19th Route Army, everyone knows it, and the relationship with the Communist Party has always been very close, so he is different, he has never had any friendship with the Red Party, but he has also seen them as a military academy researcher by the Xiangjiang River. The Red Army in his eyes is very different from the Red Army in Ou Shounian's account, that is, a group of desperate and poor people, who have no other characteristics except that they are not afraid of death. As for the guerrilla warfare skills, there was not a trace of them on the banks of the Xiangjiang River, but after the Red Army evolved into the Eighth Route Army, it did show its excellent side. In the north, in Shanxi, Chahar, Hebei, Shanxi, Hebei, and Luyu, they truly embodied Mr. *'s assertion that "a spark can start a prairie fire", and in the enemy's rear, in the vast Japanese-occupied areas, and in Wang Kemin's North China security area, a large number of anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines appeared from scratch, beating the Japanese North China garrison army and Qi Xieyuan's puppet army to the point of a mush. In today's North China, large and medium-sized cities are under the management of the Japanese puppet army, but the vast countryside has long become the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army, and even the cities in the north have mostly become the world of the Eighth Route Army at night. Thinking of this, Zheng Cangrong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had been against them for more than ten years, and he didn't exterminate them, but wanted to learn combat skills from them, which was really the biggest joke in the world! If I go back to the military school, I really don't know how to answer this question with my students.

Seeing that the division headquarters had basically formed a resolution, Tan Heyi, director of the Political Department, also put forward his own viewpoint: To the west of Anqing, there are six counties: Huaining, Qianshan, Taihu, Wangjiang, Susong, and Yuexi. Among these six counties, there are the 526th Regiment and the 527th Regiment of our army, as well as Wu Wannian's Eighth Guerrilla Brigade, Hao Wenbo's Ninth Guerrilla Brigade, and Tao Taiping's Wangjiang Garrison Brigade. It is better to unify the armed forces of these six counties, with Mo Enemy serving as the joint commander of the six counties, and uniformly deploying the struggle against the enemy in the six counties of Anqing.

Tan Heyi's proposal immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the division, and everyone thought that this move was very suitable for the current Anqing strategy. At present, it seems that Dabie Mountain has become a relatively stable jurisdiction behind enemy lines, and an anti-Japanese base area in Dabie Mountain, with Lihuang County as the center, has been formed. In this area, the Macheng Mall in the west is accompanied by the Pinghan line, which is a place of many battles between the enemy and us, and the Seventh Army is held in this area, and the Yingshan Huangmei line in the southwest is guarded by Yang Sen's department. The emptiest thing is the east, up to the Huainan Yellow Flood Area, down to the Wangjiang Yangtze River, defended by the 48th Army, which is really a bit thin. Mo Dehong's 138th Division guarded the south bank of the Yellow Flood Area, and was also responsible for the security of Lihuang. The 176th Division of Ou Shounian was even more scattered, from Lu'an to Wangjiang, Tongcheng, Shucheng, Huoshan, Lujiang, Zongyang, Lu'an, and six counties in Anqing, a county could only be half a regiment. If we can unify the armed forces in some localities and form a joint force, the key to fighting and winning in this region will we be able to do so.

Zheng Cangrong stood up very politely, pulled Tan Heyi to his side and sat down, this is not only brave, but also strategic, it can be seen from this proposal that he is a person who simplifies the situation in Anqing with one mind, and his approach is very helpful to the long-term struggle against the enemy in this area, and how to persist in fighting in this area for a long time is the focus of the work of the 176th Division. Zheng Cangrong immediately regarded Tan Heyi as a confidant, thinking that at least he was a sibling who could be relied on and trusted.

Wen Yinglin, as the chief of staff at the division level, is indeed a bit inappropriate, because Wen Ke, the chief of staff of the 176th Division, was delayed from his post before he was pushed up, and it was completely Liao Hua, a general in Shuzhong, who was the vanguard. He was the last person to react to Tan Heyi's proposal, or did Deputy Chief of Staff Li Shang poke him in the arm before he came to his senses and was the first person to express his opinion on Tan Heyi's proposal. Tan Heyi's statement is more complicated, long and short, from the inside to the outside, from the west to the east, Wen Yinglin is a little unable to catch up, but when he heard that he was going to be promoted to an invincible official, he agreed without saying a word!

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, Mo Di couldn't cry or laugh a little, the joint commander of the six counties, and the joint headquarters was located in the Anglican Church of Meicheng Town, Qianshan County. People didn't give one more, they didn't give one more money, they just gave such a fictitious title, and they wanted to let themselves unite the six counties of Anqing West into a monolith, and the idea above was really a bit naïve. Jiang Chunyang was very interested in this false title, and told Mo Di bitterly that he couldn't think about fighting and killing people all day long, and wanted to think about something more advanced, such as politics. War is a continuation of politics, an economic need, a means rather than an end, killing for the sake of politics is a leader, killing for the sake of the economy is a giant, killing for the sake of killing is a butcher. Mo Di laughed and scolded: I'm not a butcher!

It's not the end! Jiang Chunyang's face is teachable, the commander of the six counties, can mobilize the armed forces of the six counties, and can also independently develop the forces in the six counties, what kind of situation is this, it is completely a monopoly of one side! Xu Ping still has to be headed by Li Benyi in Mingguang, and he doesn't account for as many as six counties, and now he directly gives you the sphere of influence of the six counties, you can't make good use of it, don't say anything else, first establish the Qianjiang garrison brigade, and establish the Susong complete brigade, as for Yuexi, it's not bad to get a garrison brigade to become a reserve source.

Seeing Jiang Chunyang's spittle, Mo Di replied: This is established, that is established, you don't want to think about how much it costs to build a garrison brigade, I am not a giant, let alone a leader, I am just a small infantry commander, you kid don't want to open a dye shop with a small bottle of dye.

Jiang Chunyang immediately wilted like a frost-beaten plantain, once politicians encounter economic problems, most of them do not have a very good way, and those who can fool others to tighten their belts and make revolutions on Jinggang Mountain are not ordinary politicians.
