Chapter 4: Turning to War (15)

As soon as Yu Qian's 48th Army set off, the Japanese planes reported the situation to the headquarters of the Central China Front. The new commander-in-chief of the Front Army, General Shunroku Hata, knew with agility that the 48th Army of the Gui Army, which had suffered a big loss to his 18th Division in Anji Xiaofeng, had left this area, and the time had come to occupy this area while he was in a hurry.

Immediately telegraphed to Sadao Ushijima, commander of the 18th Division stationed in Hangzhou, to send troops west to Lin'an and occupy northwest Zhejiang.

Early in the morning, there were carrier pigeons flying from Hangzhou to Lin'an, bringing the news that the Guchuan Infantry Brigade of the 124th Brigade of the 18th Division was heading west to Lin'an, to Commander Xie Yousheng, who was smoking a lot of cigarettes.

Seeing that the smoke bubbles were about to burn, Xie Yousheng didn't care about burning his eyebrows, and asked people to send the urgent mail to the main house and hand it over to Huang Bamei, who had just fallen asleep.

Huang Bamei was in a hurry, rolled out of bed with a bone, put on her clothes three times and twice, and ran to the county government with her hair scattered.

Seeing that Huang Bamei, who had messy hair like a madman, was about to break in when she came to the gate of the county office, and the guards platoon Zhao Guolong's people almost didn't shoot her, but fortunately, the gate post of the Loyal and Righteous Salvation Army on the side knew that this was their deputy commander, so he let people in.

Mo Di got up early, wearing a loose Tang suit, practicing boxing in the yard, three nine in winter, three times in summer, it was a habit he developed since he was a child, and when he saw Zhao Guolong's people come in with a woman with a cloak, his first reaction was to find the county magistrate Lu Daren to beat the drum and call for injustice.

Seeing Zhao Guolong's people walking towards him with a woman, Mo Di overturned his previous thoughts.

"This is Huang Bamei, the deputy commander of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, and this is our Commander Mo." Throwing down two sentences, Zhao Guolong's people left, leaving the two Mo Enemy and Huang Ba Mei looking at each other in the courtyard.

If Mo Di was surprised that the woman in front of her was so anxious, and she actually went out of the house with scattered temples, then Huang Ba Mei was completely disappointed. Look at the generals under him, Xu Ping and Xu Le brothers are all clothes racks, with long figures, and sturdy bodies, even if they are the chief of staff Huang Tianhua, they are also a talent, Confucian generals. On the whole, their boss is invincible, how can he be better than Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty, Pan Mei in the Song Dynasty, and Yang Yuchun in the Ming Dynasty! It's really better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to be famous than to meet, when Mo Di appeared in front of her, she couldn't react a little, she knew, there was also a legend of Li Yuanba, and she had heard the story of Pei Yuanqing, but she didn't expect the person in the real story to appear in front of her. In front of the tall Huang Bamei, Mo Di was as short as half a head, a thin face, except for a nose bridge that can be called straight, and the rest are difficult to comment, especially the protruding eyes, with intermittent eyebrows, extremely obscene......

The two sides looked at each other for a while, but Mo Di broke the silence, flicked the placket of the Tang costume with his fingers, tidied up the sideburns that were messed up by the exercises, and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Huang came to the county office early in the morning, and I don't know what to say. ”

"The matter is urgent, and the little woman is unkempt, which makes Captain Mo smile." Huang Bamei brushed her hair with her hand, handed over the urgent letter in her hand to Mo Di, and said: "According to the urgent report from the inner line in Hangzhou, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army sent the Guchuan Infantry Brigade to attack Lin'an, because it was necessary to wait for the supplies sent from Zhapu, and it was planned to set off in the afternoon. ”

"An infantry brigade, no more than fifteen hundred, is slightly less than the number of those who attacked Tianhuangping." Mo Di said to himself: "Deputy Commander Huang, do you have any way to inform your internal line, as soon as possible to find out what other units are fighting with this infantry brigade, whether there are tanks and heavy artillery, and whether the enemy knows that there is still our 1056th Regiment in Lin'an." ”

Huang Bamei shook her head and said: "We can only receive the news from the internal line, and we can't pass the message to him, the carrier pigeon is not very reliable, if it falls into the hands of others, for us, the loss will be great." ”

Mo Di nodded and asked, "Deputy Commander Huang, if the Japanese set off in the afternoon, how can they arrive in Lin'an?" ”

Huang Bamei thought for a while and said, "If you walk, there is a burden to drag down, about tomorrow evening." If the baggage is transported by a small boat in Nantiaoxi, it will be faster. ”

"Is there a ship from Hangzhou to Lin'an?" Mo Di asked.

"Yes, there is a river from Tianmu Mountain to Hangzhou through Lin'an, called Nantiaoxi, below Lin'an, you can take a small boat with a carrying weight of two or three thousand catties, the Jinxian Lake and Huijin Pavilion along the way are very beautiful, it is the place where Hangzhou literati and ink writers often go to go in spring and autumn." Huang Bamei is very familiar with this road, because they sell salt, from Zhejiang to southern Anhui, basically they take the waterway first and then by land, the waterway capacity is cheap, and they are the first choice for the peddlers' pawns.

Mo Di smiled and said: "This is easy to do, today, the 1056 regiment will all return to Lin'an, in the afternoon, the 1055 regiment will also come to Lin'an, plus the 1038 regiment and your loyal national salvation army, our troops in Lin'an are almost 3,500 people, more than 3,000 people against the infantry brigade of more than 1,500 people, the odds of victory are very high, if the Japanese do not know that there are three of our regiments in Lin'an, thinking that there are only you, you can clearly say, Shengzhu is in hand, Deputy Commander Huang, you can rest assured, there is any news to inform us as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Mo Die's relaxed expression, Huang Bamei also felt a lot more relieved, the so-called letting the wind and waves rise, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai is nothing more than that. The invincible in her eyes also became taller, and it turned out that there was Li Yuanba, who didn't dance a sledgehammer, and he was also very coordinated when he looked like Pei Yuanqing and danced a goose feather fan.

I wanted to open my mouth to talk to Mo Di about the Xu family brothers, but I felt that it was inappropriate to say this kind of thing in front of the enemy, so I swallowed the words again when they came to my mouth. After a few words of gossip, Huang Bamei said goodbye and left.

This woman, unusual! Know the priorities, know that the military situation is like fire, not just a big bubble of smoke in your eyes. Mo Di looked at the back of Huang Bamei's departure, and nodded frequently, in comparison, she was much more reliable than her husband who smoked ghosts, and it was only because Xie Yousheng was involved in the relationship with the military commander that she sat firmly on the throne of the commander, if you rely on your strength and ability, where will it be the turn of the smoking gun.

Huang Tianhua from Banbianting sent a telegram, saying that all the supplies had been shipped, and he would also set off for Lin'an with the 1056 regiment, and at the same time received a telegram from Qin Zhenyuan, and the 1055 regiment had also left for Lin'an.

Qin Jishi worries about the accommodation, Xie Yousheng arranges the meal, and the only thing to worry about is the Japanese who come from the east. Mo Di cleaned himself, changed his clothes, and walked to the streets of Lin'an, he has a habit, every time he goes to a place, he loves to watch the local customs and customs, and likes to taste local snacks, and most importantly, he is dressed in a military uniform, rarely wears a military rank, and carries a Mauser M712 on his back, small and not outstanding, and is often ignored by the people around him, even if he can see that he is an officer, he thinks that at most he is an inconspicuous lieutenant company platoon commander, and he is definitely not a domineering colonel.

After eating a bowl of bacon and dried bamboo shoot noodles, Mo Di secretly screamed good, and put the bacon into the noodles, the saltiness of the bacon was combined with the lightness of the knife-cut noodles, and the crispness of the dried bamboo shoots was just right. There are dried bamboo shoots in his hometown Baishou, and there are more delicate dried bamboo shoots, which is the innermost layer of bamboo shoot skin, thin as silkworm wings, tender as a feather coat, made into dried bamboo shoots, and it is a fairy dish. Baishou also has bacon, compared with Lin'an, a little more flavor, a little less sweet, if in the hometown market, open a bacon bamboo shoot dry powder, I am afraid that the business will also be very good, unconsciously, a strong nostalgia permeates the heart of Mo Enemy, out of more than ten years, he is a little homesick.

When he came to Li Benyi's regiment headquarters, Li Benyi had just finished breakfast, and he was a very solid soldier, enjoying and eating with the soldiers, and never engaging in specialization. Seeing Mo Di walk in, Li Benyi smiled and said, "Why don't you come early, I just put down the bowl, today's breakfast is good, it's porridge and big steamed buns." ”

Mo Di smiled and said, "I've eaten it!" ”

"Is there anything wrong with coming here early in the morning?" Li Benyi asked.

"I want to know what your Seventh Army is going to do with your regiment, it won't be like this forever with four or five hundred people, there is no replenishment, no money and food, and it is thousands of kilometers away from the army division headquarters." Mo Di said.

"Why do you think about this so early in the morning?" Li Ben smiled.

"The Japanese are about to arrive, I can't leave, the military headquarters ordered me to delay in Lin'an for five days, and after five days, withdraw to Huizhou." Mo Di said: "I got the news that the Japanese who set off from Hangzhou this time are only a brigade of about 1,500 people, and to be honest, I don't pay much attention to this person, and it is inevitable that they will be eaten." The problem is that if we eat the Japanese, the Japanese will definitely report and retaliate, and if I leave in five days, I will leave you here, and I will not let you suffer again. Our Wei Junzuo said that he wanted to take you away, that is, he didn't understand you, I know that you guy, without the order of the 7th Army or the 171st Division, you will definitely not leave. ”

Li Ben nodded, lowered his head and did not speak, this matter, he was indeed a little embarrassed, the 171st Division did not give Li Ben a regiment to distribute telegraphs, the previous contact had to rely on the Lin'an County Party Department, some words were embarrassed to use other people's telegraphs to say, it was very embarrassing, but one thing Mo Dou said was right, without the order of the peak, Li Benyi would rather the whole regiment be wiped out than leave the northwest of Zhejiang, he is a dead-eyed person.

Mo Di told Li Benyi that the Japanese estimated that they would come to Lin'an by tomorrow evening at the latest, and there were two integrated regiments, 1055 and 1056. He will definitely wipe out all these Japanese in the local area, and after a while he will drive to see the terrain along the way and formulate a plan to destroy the enemy. Although he and Li Benyi are good friends and brothers, the 1038 Regiment does not belong to the same formation as himself after all, not to mention that the 1038 Regiment has few people and is not of much use, so Li Benyi and his 1038 Regiment will not be considered in this operation.

Hearing this, Li Benyi was furious on the spot. He slapped the table and stood up, and said sharply: "Tianzong, how can you be like this, between us, how can we distinguish between you and us, at the big, we are all Chinese soldiers, and at the smallest, we are all Bagui's children." When we don't wear it, the circumference will ask you to give us a supplement, and between us, there has never been a distinction between you and me. With the battle, how can we be without us, our regiment must participate in the war! I immediately went to the county party headquarters and reported to the military headquarters. ”

Mo Di smiled and said: "If you join the war, you will join the war, don't say so many impassioned, the telegram will not be fought, and the news of us in Lin'an will be spread, and the Japanese will not take the initiative to send them to death." I'm worried that you won't be able to go to war without a military order, and you won't be able to explain it to Shangfeng. "Mo Enemy said this, his heart has long been happy, his 1056 regiment has to walk all day today to return to Lin'an from Banbianting, Qin Zhenyuan's 1055 regiment also has to walk all day today, in order to come to Lin'an from Yu Qian, if you can rest for a day tomorrow, the combat power of the two regiments will be greatly improved. The most suitable for combat is the 1038 regiment, which has rested for a long time, but if they do not take the initiative to ask for battle, it is not easy for them to give them combat tasks.

Seeing the passionate Li Benyi, Mo Di smiled, it's not that your brothers are thinking about you, it's that you are too upright, the so-called please is not as good as agitating generals, it's you.
