Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (18)

has been the regiment commander for several years, and has been in the position of deputy brigade commander for so long, Mo Di has long figured out the number of ways to carry people in a sedan chair. In the telegram drafted by Qin Guosheng, the First Battle of Qingcao Lake and the First Battle of Wanhe were explained in detail, and the content was very objective and detailed, without praising anyone, let alone any subjective contribution. However, in the attached merit form, Mo Di did not hesitate to give the first credit to Hao Wenbo, because of Hao Wenbo's arduous seduction in the first ten days, this combat opportunity was created. The second merit was also given to Wu Wannian without hesitation, and it was precisely because of Wu Wannian's foundation in Wangjiang that he was able to have a full view of the behavior of the Wangjiang Japanese puppet army, and to plan and then act, and under the leadership of Wu Wannian, he found the embankment between Qingcao Lake and Chihu Lake. It was able to annihilate the reinforcements on the Wangjiang side in one fell swoop, and the terrain advantage was a great contribution. As for the 526 Brigade Guard Battalion and the 1056 Regiment, they just did their job, they are professional soldiers, and no matter how many Japanese puppet soldiers they kill on the battlefield, they should be. Luo Wei, commander of the guard battalion, Shi Zhong, deputy of the battalion, Hou Quan, chief of staff, and Zhong Liang, commander of the heavy firepower company, performed outstanding performance in this operation, and it was recommended that they be commended.

In the subsequent telegram of suggestion, Mo Di proposed that a regional joint security mechanism be set up in several counties south of Dabie Mountain, and that Wu Wannian's Eighth Guerrilla Brigade be stationed at Wangjiang Partridge Mountain and be responsible for guerrilla operations in the area of Wangjiang and Susong. Hao Wenbo's Ninth Guerrilla Brigade was stationed in Shipai and was responsible for guerrilla operations in the Huaining and Anqing areas. The 1056th Regiment is stationed in Qianshan and is responsible for guerrilla operations in the area of Qianshan Taihu Lake. Mo Di took the guard battalion and the second battalion of the 1056th Regiment to sit in Taihu Lake and coordinate the military operations of Qianshan Taihu Lake and Songwangjiang Huaining.

On the same day, the report was approved by Ou Shounian, commander of the 176th Division, and forwarded to General Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, commander-in-chief of the guerrilla operations in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border region, chairman of the Anhui Provincial Government, and commander of the provincial security forces.

Liao Lei took Mo Di's first telegram to read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became, he had a lot of ideas about Mo Di's capture of one hundred and seven appeasement soldiers, if this puppet army could be transformed into our army's subordinates, wouldn't it be possible to solve the problem of insufficient resources of our army in one fell swoop. At this time, the staff officer handed him Mo Di's second request for instructions, and Liao Lei applauded loudly after reading it.

As chairman of Anhui Province and at the same time the supreme military governor in charge of the Dabie Mountain area, since the beginning of the year, he has carried out a series of drastic reforms; in the area of administrative management at the grassroots level, he has implemented new policies and hired new people, promulgated the "Outline of the Organization for the Protection of Armor in Counties, Districts, and Townships in Anhui Province in Wartime," abolished the original joint security of townships and towns, and established a system of integrating politics, education, and public health, stipulating that the township head should concurrently serve as the principal of the local school and the head of the self-defense team, and the county head should concurrently serve as the principal of the central school and the head of the county self-defense force. If each county establishes a guerrilla brigade and uses a regular brigade or regiment-level military unit to carry out military coordination in the region, it can attack and retreat, and can be gathered and divided.

"Mo Tianzong! Wei Shidong and Zhou Jingsheng once said that this son is really Guijun Xiao Zhuge , which is true. Liao Lei exclaimed.

Zhang Yichun, the commander of the 48th Army beside him and the director of the Anhui Civil Affairs Department, said with a smile: "Yan Gong wants to entrust the heavens with a heavy responsibility? "He is a member of the 48th Army, and Mo Di is a subordinate of the 48th Army, and everyone has the heart to protect the calf.

Liao Lei shook his head and said: "Tianzong is still young, and he is already a colonel in his less than a year, and he still needs to be beaten again." A few years ago, Xia Xucang (Xia Weizi) wrote that Tianzong and Haidaicheng (Hai Jingqiang) Zhong Zhiping (Zhong Jizi) designed to push Zhou Jingsheng out, and they did a very decent job, and the Guangxi Military Government also took advantage of the trend and appointed Jingsheng as Xia Xucang's senior staff officer, and forcibly turned a fishing town on the bank of the Taohua River into a general on the anti-Japanese battlefield. The central government's dismissal of Jing Sheng was a trumped-up crime, and Tianzong actually designed to be recommended by Huang Wume (Huang Weizi), a proud protégé of the commission, to be reinstated, and Degong Jian Gong naturally enjoyed it. In time, this son will achieve more than you and me. ”

Zhang Yichun nodded and said: "He went to Hengshan to study in the cadre class for several months, and Anqing became more and more constricted, especially during the Suizao War, the Seventh Army was withdrawn, and only the 48th Army remained in the Dabie Mountain area, which was extremely empty. Gao Jingting of the New Fourth Army was ready to move again, and repeatedly proposed to return to Dabie Mountain, the situation was critical, and I really didn't have a good night's sleep. After all this battle, I finally have a little comfort, at least I can get a good night's sleep tonight. ”

Liao Lei pointed at Zhang Yichun and laughed, and said: "Brother Jingbo (Zhang Yichun) is too worried, Gao Jingting can't go back to Dabie Mountain." You must know that our Colonel Mo Tianzong is a cautious eye, none of the people under him are easy to get along with, Xu Ping of Mingguang, Huang Tianhua of Qianshan before, how can there be a weak person. Gao Jingting was in the hands of Mo Tianzong, and the loss was not small! Not to mention anything else, just losing one Yang Kezhi removed half of Gao Jingting's country. He is now in addition to a chief of staff Zhan Huayu and a commander of the Ninth Regiment Gu Shiduo are his own people, the new head of the Seventh Regiment Qin Xian'an and the head of the Eighth Regiment Zhou Mingjun are all biased towards Dai Jiying. It can be said that after leaving Yang Kezhi, Gao Jingting lost the possibility of returning to Dabie Mountain. ”

"Hehehehe, I don't know if this is Tianzong's unintentional work or his intentional action, if it is an unintentional work, it is fine, if it is an intentional action, his layout is too deep!" Zhang Yichun sighed.

"It should be an unintentional work, when he left a force in Hefei, he didn't expect that there would be a Gao Jingting to grab land with him. If you can calculate this step a year ago, it will not be Xiao Zhuge , but Guiguzi. Liao Lei also smiled: "It's just that we didn't expect that the army left by Tianzong in the Bengbu area of Hefei at that time would have such a great effect, nailing the New Fourth Army to the south of Hefei and unable to penetrate to the north at all." If it weren't for Huang Tianhua's concession to Zhang Yunyi, I am afraid that Gao Jingting would not be able to enter Feidong now. ”

"Yes! Huang Tianhua's concession is really a bit too big, Zhang Yunyi's influence in the Guangxi army is greater than we imagined, but it is a pity that Huang Tianhua's talent has taken a big advantage in vain for Huang Jikuan (Huang Shaohong) in Zhejiang. "Zhang Yichun is a little pity.

"Zhang Yunyi's influence in the Guangxi military is limited, Huang Tianhua is a special case, his reverence for Zhang Yunyi is completely due to his second brother Huang Guangguang, Huang Guangguang is a graduate of the Nanning Military Academy, Li Mingrui's right-hand man, after the Baise Incident, he served as the head of the Red Seventh Army, and died in the battle of Chang'an City by the meltwater, they have friendship." Liao Lei sighed and said: "But I don't believe that Huang Tianhua will surrender Zhang Yunyi, but after all, it is not appropriate to continue to stay here, it is okay to go to Huang Jikuan, where is not to fight the Japanese, but gold will always shine." It's just that Tianzong has one less capable regimental deputy, and the current Jiang Chunyang can't be compared. ”

"I heard that Tianzong has taken a fancy to Yang Kezhi and wants Yang Kezhi to be his chief of staff, why don't you agree?" Zhang Yichun regretted it after asking: "Alas! As long as the New Fourth Army is still in Anhui for one day, it is estimated that this Yang Kezhi will not hold any military position, right? ”

Liao Lei smiled and didn't answer, don't doubt the use of people, don't use suspicious people anymore.

After receiving the telegram from the 176th Division, Hao Wenbo couldn't help but be overjoyed, ran to find the thin monkey, and said excitedly: "I finally have my own defense area!" ”

The thin monkey took the telegram in Hao Wenbo's hand, and looked at it hastily, the meaning was very clear, and the land of Huaining was handed over to Hao Wenbo to move. After congratulating him, the thin monkey said: "It's okay this time, even if I am a guest in Shipai, finally someone will take care of the meal!" ”

Hao Wenbo paused for a moment and laughed: "Okay, okay, I invite you to eat dragon and phoenix tribute noodles, top snow tribute cakes, and horse-mouth wheat fish, and I will let the brothers go to Matang to fry fish now." ”

Huaining County is located in Anqing City, known as the capital of Anhui County, Shipai is the largest market town in Huaining County. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been an important distribution center for agricultural and sideline products in southwest Anhui, with merchants gathering, goods like springs, and it is the first of the towns in western Anhui. It is not only economically developed, but also beautiful, with a gathering of humanities, known as the "hometown of opera". The sparkling water of the Anhui River not only fed the Hui Opera of the "Father of Peking Opera", but also nurtured the famous local opera Huangmei Opera; "Liyuan Jiazi, no stone (stone plate) does not form a class". Yang Yuelou, the initiator of the "Four Great Hui Troupes" in the Qing Dynasty drama industry and the "master of Chinese opera", was born here, and a large number of celebrities in Huangmei opera art were born here. The "hometown of opera" is constantly silk and bamboo, and the yellow plum is fragrant in Huangmei's hometown.

Being able to legally station in this place, Hao Wenbo was so excited that he didn't know why, from now on, listening to the Hui dialect, tasting silk and bamboo, life can be described as colorful. It's just that the thin monkey beat him back to the prototype with an inopportune word, and the thin monkey said: "This is the closest to Anqing, the devil will come early, don't be blocked in the pear orchard by the Japanese." ”

Hao Wenbo smiled and said, "Don't scare me, the closest distance from Anqing here is also a hundred miles. ”

"The Japanese only have lap legs, no scuds, but it doesn't delay their arrival in the morning and evening." The thin monkey pretended to be mysterious and said: "If they use a small fireboat to go up the Anhui River at the mouth of the Anhui River, they can reach Shipai in half a day." ”

Hao Wenbo exhaled a rough breath, held it well, and finally held back a sentence: "Little Japan, I'll fuck your mother!" The elegance on his face before was gone, and it became extremely hideous.

Thin Monkey Dale, he can't understand Huangmei Opera, he doesn't understand the Hui dialect, he doesn't understand the beauty of this, it doesn't matter if he has to listen to it or not, Hao Wenbo is different, for him, being able to listen to Huangmei Opera is the real enjoyment, more profound enjoyment than eating pork.

After sending away the thin monkey and his assault company, Hao Wenbo was really not happy, with a station, enough guns and ammunition, and enough men and horses, the question was how to feed himself and his brothers. asked the thin monkey before, and the thin monkey told him that the 526 brigade has a military salary, and as a major of the 526 brigade, he can't miss the dozens of oceans every month. Before the Gui army sent troops, there was an agreement with the central government to pay military salaries with the ocean, even if it was with Yingyang, Guangxi people recognized Yingyang, and called Yingyang lace, in the eyes of the common people, a piece of lace and a piece of Guangyang's market value is about the same. If you die on the battlefield and pay a bunch of fiat currency, maybe the parents in your hometown will burn it as paper money.

No matter what kind of currency, the thin monkey has money every month, but Hao Wenbo can't do it, the guerrilla brigade, the top will give you a formation, self-raising, self-fending, and can allocate you three guns and two bullets, even if it is a performance. How to survive is already the top priority of the Ninth Guerrilla Brigade. There are several roads to choose from, the first way is to learn from the New Fourth Army to fight local tyrants, and select some wealthy local businessmen who have economic dealings with Japanese businessmen to label them as traitors and collect their family property as their own. Another way is to learn from the national government's cofferdam fish farming, develop the economy and make profits, this practice is too slow, I am afraid that the fish will starve to death if they are not raised. What to do? Hao Wenbo sat in the headquarters and couldn't say a word, at this time, let alone let him go to listen to Huangmei Opera, even if the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang came in person, it is estimated that he is not interested.

When he was running out of ideas, the guards came in and reported: The magistrate of Huaining County is here!

Hao Wenbo, who was ignorant, didn't understand what the guards said, and asked the guards to say it again, only then did it be determined that it was the county magistrate of Huaining County who came, Hao Wenbo thought puzzledly, Huaining County Government is in Anqing, why did the county magistrate come here! Hurriedly greeted him. When he walked to the door and retreated, he suddenly had a thought in his head, since he had the county magistrate, his own supplies would be settled. He put on his hat on the table, tied his belt, patted the Browning pistol on his waist, and walked out with his head held high.
