Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (58)

After listening to Gong Qingyuan's unrival opinion, Li Benyi pondered for a moment before solemnly saying to Gong Qingyuan that there is never a perfect battle, and they all have a certain sense of gambling, and they should strike decisively when the general situation is dominant, and some small details can be ignored. If you look ahead and look backwards, you will miss the opportunity. Imagine that if we are a regiment and the opponent is also a regiment, it is appropriate to consider more in all aspects, but we are two regiments or even more than two regiments, with an overwhelming advantage, and the consideration of the problem should be simpler, because in the face of absolute power, all tricks are false. The commander of an army, the general of a division, the school of a regiment, and the captain of a company have completely different ways of thinking. As a commander, he can plan a war, as a general, he can command a battle, as a colonel, he can undertake a battle, and as a captain, he can charge ahead, as for the ideology, it should not be considered. Taking the Central China Battlefield as an example, the 11th Army fully dominates the Central China Battlefield, while the division and regiment level can only assume campaign responsibility, and as for the brigades and wings below, they have completely reduced to war machines. Some people say that this is the ass that determines the head, and some people say that it is not in its position and not in a certain government, in fact, in a simple sentence, it is the limitation of thinking. This way of thinking also fully shows that the level of thinking of Mo Enemy is still stuck at the point of commanding a regiment, his vision is limited, his realm is limited, and he still needs to hammer at the regimental level for a period of time. Li Benyi told Gong Qingyuan that he ordered the 412th Regiment to send a battalion to Sanhe to monitor whether the Japanese troops in Feixi were dispatched, and at the same time called Mo Zhongqing, deputy commander of the 528th Regiment of the 176th Regiment, to assist in the defense of the southern line of the Lujiang River. At the same time, the 138th Division was ordered to supplement the regiment, and after Liu Qinglong's 413th Regiment left Wanfo Lake, it took over the defense of the garrison and became a follow-up unit. Such a layout, in Li Benyi's opinion, is already five fingers picking up snails, and nine out of ten are stable.

Gong Qingyuan did not agree with Li Benyi's evaluation of Modi, but thought that Modi's thinking was higher, he was based on strategy, but he did not despise it in terms of tactics, and the most important thing was that Modi's combat grasp was far higher than Li Benyi's. Gong Qingyuan is not so bored that he directly feeds back Li Benyi's opinions to Mo Di, the angle of observing the problem is different, the starting point is different, and the landing point is different, and it is not impossible to seek common ground while reserving differences. In Gong Qingyuan's view, Li Benyi's statement is reasonable, but it does not have guidance for this operation; from a theoretical point of view, there is no doubt that the 138th Division defeated Wang Zhanlin's regiment, but Li Benyi did not specify how the operation was carried out, how it was carried out, where to start, and how to tear it apart. Gong Qingyuan also knew that these specific tasks should be completed by him, the chief of staff, but the question was that in the current situation, how would the battle unfold if he knew what he had already done but did not know who he was? Do you want to sacrifice the old tricks of the national army to fight, first knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and then see the son and fight.

Mo Di belongs to the people who are most opposed to the traditional combat methods of the national army, and the so-called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger means that regardless of 3721, they will first attack a certain target, and then see the opponent's reaction, and see the opponent's reaction. The biggest evil consequence of this practice is to turn the initiative into passivity, start to take the initiative to attack, and then passively meet the enemy. There are not many requirements for the early stage, but with the change of the battle situation, the more serious the degree of passivity, if the opponent is stronger, the combat method changes slightly, even if it is three times that of the opponent, it will be dragged down by the opponent, and finally dragged to death. Looking back on the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the two sides fought many times in Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Hubei, Henan and Anhui. In Jinggangshan, * took advantage of this combat method of the national army to face the national army troops ten times larger than the red army, fanning the wind and lighting fires everywhere, causing the national army to run in all directions, exhausted and exhausted, and repeatedly returned in vain. Judging from countless examples, the offense is ineffective and the defense is weak, and this way of fighting is really humiliating wisdom.

In the next few days, the report of the reconnaissance company made the enemy situation in Lujiang more clear, and the first battalion of Wang Zhanlin's regiment was stationed in the military camp in the east of the city in Lujiang. Through reconnaissance, it was repeatedly confirmed that Wang Zhanlin was not in Lujiang, and it was Ni Daohong's nephew Cui Yuanhuan who commanded the command in Lujiang. There is a small Lujiang and three sets of government teams, one is the government team appointed by the National Government, one is the team appointed by the Nanjing puppet Wang government, and one is the Tonglu Party Committee of the Red Party. The Party Committee of the Red Party Tonglu went underground, and the Secretary of the Party Committee was Liu Renkai of Caizihu, Liu Renkai was extremely good at disguise, and had already become the leader of the independent guerrilla brigade of the 176th Division. As for the Lujiang county magistrate appointed by the government, he returned to Chongqing the day after Wang Zhanlin took office, and after the 138th Division moved to Lujiang, the appointment letter for the post of county magistrate fell to Wei Jiebo's head.

Who is the real county magistrate, the competition in this land has been half a year, in the first half of the year, Wang Zhanlin has the upper hand, in the season of the Qingming Festival in 1941, whether Wei Jiebo can borrow the prestige of his ancestors, take back the ruling power of Lujiang, it is still unknown.

Sun Cheng's men saw Wang Zhanlin at the Jieqiao Wharf on the edge of Chaohu Lake, this wharf is not far from Shengqiao, and the third battalion of the Lujiang Garrison Regiment is guarded. In order to strengthen the bearing capacity of the wharf, the Japanese engineering unit in charge of the construction actually used the railroad tracks to pile deep at the bottom of the lake.

The road from Jieqiao Wharf to Lujiang is very busy, and the carts are constantly pulling the materials from Lujiang to the wharf and sending them away, and then transporting the berthed materials back to Lujiang for distribution to various places.

The reconnaissance company was busy for a few days, but it couldn't figure out where the second battalion of Wang Zhanlin's garrison regiment was stationed. Some people think that it is divided into parts, responsible for the security of Lujiang City, and some people think that it is incarnated as a garrison, responsible for the security and maintenance of the boundary bridge to Lujiang Road, and some people think that the second battalion is stationed in other areas of Lujiang, Lujiang has a vast area, not a county seat and a line of Shengqiao. Mo Di believes that if he does not find the second merit of the Lujiang garrison regiment for a day, he will not be able to launch an attack on Lujiang City for a day, because he will not be able to know where this army is, and it may become the most important variable city in the Lujiang offensive and defensive battle. Gong Qingyuan told him that no matter how strong a battalion is, it can't make big waves, and Mo Enemy gave him a blank look, if he is in the 176th Division, the opponent with this kind of thinking will die and have no place to be buried, because the 176th Division Field Supplement Regiment not only has three battalions, but also has a guard battalion that is stronger than any battalion, and its strength is far above that of a combat battalion.

Under Li Benyi's intensive arrangement, the attack on Lujiang was in full swing on the first day after the Qingming Festival.

The reason why I chose to do it on this day is because of the influence of Jiangxi's high victory. In the battle of Shanggao in Jiangxi,

The 34th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Nanchang was scheduled to be transferred to North China because the 33rd Division was scheduled to be transferred to North China, and asked the 33rd Division to cooperate with him in sweeping the main force of the Chinese army around him, but due to the serious non-cooperation of the two divisions, the 34th Division rushed headlong into the encirclement of the four Chinese armies. On April 5, the Qingming Festival, Luo Zhuoying reported to the Central Committee that 12,520 Japanese soldiers were wounded and 14 were captured. The victory in the Battle of Shanggao was the first comprehensive victory on China's active defense on the battlefield, which demonstrated the good fighting qualities and correct combat command of Chinese officers, embodied the fighting spirit of all officers and men who marched forward courageously and the heroic spirit of treating death as home, and demonstrated the national integrity of the Chinese military and the people of uniting as one and hating the same enemy, as well as a high sense of national self-esteem and pride. The victory in this battle dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and greatly boosted the Chinese nation's anti-Japanese fighting spirit.

Chongqing's commendation of Luo Zhuoying of the 19th Group Army deeply stimulated Li Pinxian, commander of the 21st Group Army. Dabie Mountain needed a victory to show the central government that the war of resistance behind enemy lines had been fruitful, and at the same time to prove that the political and military effects of local campaigns were not necessarily inferior to large-scale group campaigns.

Li Pinxian telegraphed Li Benyi, took Lujiang, and proved himself.

The day before the Qingming Festival, Liu Qinglongbu arrived at Wanfo Lake.

Seeing Liu Qinglong, Mo Di strengthened his opinion, the Liu Qinglong in front of him was very different from two years ago, less sharp back then, and a lot more sleek, and friction with the Red Army in Mingguang all day long, which made Liu Qinglong's mind mature. Seeing Mo Di, Liu Qinglong was very excited, opened his mouth and closed his mouth Mo Boss, Mo Di interrupted him with a smile and warned him that the future boss is Li Benyi, don't call someone else's boss in front of the boss. Liu Qinglong laughed and told Mo Di that he couldn't call Li Benyi the boss, that guy was rigid, he had an opinion on calling the teacher, and he had to add a pronoun in front of it, otherwise he wouldn't agree. Mo Die smiled bitterly, Li Benyi, he is really a soldier, no wonder he is valued by Shangfeng.

Following Liu Qinglong's division, Mo Di and the 138th Division headquarters drove directly to the northern mountainous area of Yefu Mountain under the leadership of the reconnaissance company, and the road from Lujiang River to Shengqiao passed through the canyon in the middle of Yefu Mountain, the width of the canyon was about 500 meters, and the mountains on both sides were not high, but it was a good place for ambushes. The task of Liu Qinglong's department was to wipe out the third battalion of Wang Zhanlin's garrison regiment, which had reinforced Lujiang, at the foot of Yefu Mountain. This task is not difficult, a regiment ambushes a battalion, Liu Qinglong thinks it is very simple, a battalion plugs the head, a battalion cuts off the tail, a battalion blocks the waist with a blow, and a charge can call it a day. Mo Di looked at the terrain, the advantages of this place are too obvious, if a regiment can't take a battalion in this place, there is no need to be a soldier to eat food.

As expected, less than ten minutes after Liu Qinglong's troops took office, Wei Jiebo's 414th Regiment quickly launched a strong attack on the military camp of the Jianguo Army in the east of Lujiang City, and for a while, the sound of guns and cannons resounded throughout Lujiang County.
