Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (2)

Knowing that the battle of Sanqiao was a complete victory, Kazuo Aoki fled in a hurry, and the former enemy headquarters in Meicheng was boiling, Tan Heyi smiled and said to Mo Di: "Should we also move the nest and go to Sanqiao to have a look." Mo Di nodded, it should be too much, his own troops are basically concentrated in the three bridges except for Zhong Dingnai's department, and after the battle, it is impossible not to want to see it. Zhong Ding's Naibu has also joined forces with Long Yingyun's department in Yueshan, if nothing else, he will also arrive at Huangdun tomorrow, and when the time comes, the wild supplement group will be together.

Jin Tongxuan hurriedly asked the personnel of the staff of the Field Supplement Regiment to hurry up and pack up, leaving the Wu Tinghuan battalion in Meicheng to maintain the normal operation of the headquarters. From today, the field replenishment regimental staff was separated from the former enemy command and returned to the correct position of the regimental staff.

From Huangdun in the east, to Sanqiao in the west, and to Wangtang in the south, nearly half of the 176th Division gathered. Gao Guixuan moved from Zhan Jiafeng to Chengjiawei with the wounded brigade, and joined Jiang Chunyang's department, the two sides saw each other, and did not feel sadness from it, and came out with a complete battalion, after several fierce battles, the battalion commander was seriously injured, and also injured the eighth company commander, killed the ninth company commander, and only one seventh company commander was busy up and down. The soldiers also suffered considerable losses, with a battalion of nearly 400 men, less than 100 unwounded, and only half able to breathe. Fortunately, Zhang Changwu took the intact company of men and horses to help the commander of the seventh company, otherwise, just taking care of the wounded could drag down the noble electoral battalion.

If the noble selection camp can still operate normally, then Zhao Jinbu has completely collapsed.

Three battalions of Zhao Jin's department, more than 1,000 men and horses, Cao Jiabang battle, they sacrificed the most, more than half of the casualties, sacrificed up to 400 people, and Deng Jiumao, the commander of the third battalion of the third detachment, was martyred. Gui Chuanpeng, the commander of the third battalion of the second detachment, had a bad face, and although the casualties of his troops were not large, he did not particularly agree with Zhao Jin's approach. In his opinion, as a guerrilla force, they should not take the initiative to attack and take the lead, and following the Japanese army to pick up the bargain is their way of fighting. Zhao Jin had gauze wrapped around his head, and a piece of shrapnel grazed over the left side of his head, and if it was closer to a centimeter, he would go with Deng Jiumao as his companion. He was talking to Gui Chuanpeng and telling Gui Chuanpeng that in the six counties of the west, don't put yourself in a subordinate position, as a native of the six counties, you should regard yourself as the master of this place. Like the 11th Tour, the Wild Supplement Regiment is a self-raising army, and most of them are Guangxi people who have come from afar, and they are still able to fight to the death, and we, as the masters, have no reason not to take the initiative to fight. Gui Chuanpeng thought about it and followed Zhao Jin around the three battalions, but the huge injuries still made him not excited.

Wei Zhigao, who was also chasing after him, sacrificed much less, and basically there was no loss, because there was no frontal conflict, and the battalion commander Pang Fengqing was a very righteous man, so he asked the battalion medical team to rush to Zhao Jinbu as soon as possible to assist Zhao Jinbu in dealing with the wounded.

Ouyang Jin's casualties were not large, most of them were people from the third company, Lao Boliang, who were killed by the plane and injured by the aerial bomb, Huang Yingyi was also cut by shrapnel with two wounds, and he walked with a limp, his company was not in the front, it was not the main target of the plane, and the loss was not large.

Nong Ruyong was rebuilt, and the three companies of Zhong Liang's department were slightly damaged, as several consecutive battles, this damage was acceptable, because all the Japanese weapons and ammunition were replenished conveniently, Zhong Liang's department was counting the materials, and now the conditions have improved, although the clothes on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers will not be stripped again, but the backpack armed belts and leather shoes still cannot be let go.

After Zhang Shenghu and Liu Wukui returned to the establishment, they also brought a company of Guan Shanyue, and Luo Wei stayed in Guan Shanyue's company, chatting with Guan Shanyue, chatting about the field supplement regiment, talking about the 176th Division, talking about air defense, and talking about fighting planes, and became very good friends. When Shi Zhong saw his battalion, it suddenly became a large battalion of six companies, and said to Luo Wei with a smile: You brought people here, you must take care of the food. Luo Wei patted Shi Chong's shoulder and said, I'm worried that when I transfer them, you will be reluctant.

In the previous battle in three small rivers, the dead fish floated downstream, and some people had already picked it up, and when they saw that the war was over, they disemboweled the fish and carried it up. The people of the surrounding villages, who can do things, have come, on the side of the nearby mountain, dug a few big pits, dragged the Japanese over and buried them deeply, it is now late autumn, it doesn't matter if they are not buried for three days, after the New Year, the south wind turns, if the corpse is not buried deeply, there will definitely be a plague.

For the martyrs who sacrificed, the attitude of the people was completely different, they tried their best to raise coffins, found a piece of feng shui treasure, and begged the master of Guanyin Cave in Duxiu Mountain to come and bury the martyrs solemnly. Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why do you need to return the body of horse leather, why bury bones in mulberry land, there are green mountains everywhere in life.

Just when the Buddhists and local people were dealing with the aftermath of the martyrs, Tan Heyi and Mo Di and his party arrived. Tan Heyi and Mo Di immediately rushed to the scene to express their gratitude to the local people for their Buddhists and Taoists, and also personally offered incense to worship. Tan Heyi delivered a eulogy to the dead soldiers, saying that on the day of victory, a memorial hall will definitely be built, so that the brothers who shed their last drop of blood for the anti-Japanese war will receive thousands of years of incense and be admired by all the people. Mo Di was shocked when he heard this, this matter, no matter whether Tan Heyi was just talking or not, he had to do it, this was a blood oath in his heart.

Tan Heyi and Mo Di went to Gao Guixuan's camp for the first time to visit, Gao Guixuan's injury was very serious, one leg was already black, and the medical officer said that because of the hemostasis, this leg was useless. Gao Guixuan was very open-minded, and said to Tan Heyi and Mo Di that there are two legs, and it doesn't matter if there is one less, but they can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy. Tan Heyi asked people to send Gao Guixuan to Meicheng first, and then to Yuexi Tangchi, where they were disposed of by the division hospital, and if they really amputated their limbs, they would have to leave the army. The work of the three battalions of the 526th Regiment was all entrusted to the commander of the seventh company, and as for Zhang Changwu, he was temporarily assigned to the Field Supplement Regiment and was directly under the General Staff.

Coming out of Gao Guixuan, Tan Heyi and Mo Di went to Zhao Jin's office accompanied by Jiang Chunyang, Wei Zhi, Gao Jin, and Tongxuan.

Zhao Jin's military camp was full of wounded people, with the help of the medical team of Pang Fengqing's camp and Zhong Liang's camp, the goosebumps* sound that made people hear before basically disappeared, Zhao Jin and Gui Chuanpeng sat in the house silently and smoked, until they heard movement outside the door, and when they looked up, Tan Heyi and Mo Di had already walked in.

Zhao Jin knew Mo Di, and immediately stood up, pulled Gui Chuanpeng, who didn't know the situation, and introduced: "This is the Mo Di Regiment Commander of the Ye Supplement Regiment, and this is the Commander of the Third Battalion of the Second Detachment of the Eleventh Tour, Gui Chuanpeng. ”

Gui Chuanpeng hurriedly saluted, this person was not from the regular army, and the military salute was chaotic and crippled.

Mo Di replied with a salute, pointed to Tan Heyi and introduced: "The two of you have come to see it, this is General Tan Heyi, deputy commander of the 176th Division." ”

Zhao Jin and Gui Chuanpeng were very taken aback, as soon as the war stopped, the division and the elder arrived at the battlefield where there was still the smell of gunsmoke, which was really moving. Stand upright and salute. Zhao Jin is a standard military posture, and at first glance he is an old martial artist, which is not the same thing at all compared to Gui Chuanpeng.

"If it weren't for your all-out efforts to hold back the second brigade of the 130th Wing of the Japanese army, once they formed a joint force at the three bridges and attacked our army, our army would have lost all its previous achievements, fell into passivity, and even lost." Tan Heyi said: "I will report the exploits of the 11th Tour to the Anhui Provincial Guerrilla General Headquarters and repay the merits of the soldiers. I have heard of the deeds of Battalion Commander Deng Jiumao, and the great deeds of the martyrs will be commended by the government. ”

Jiang Chunyang told Gui Chuanpeng that all the ministries had sent some supplies over, asked him to take inventory, and arranged dinner by the way, so that Tan Shizuo, Mo Tuanzuo, Deputy Wei Tuan, Jin Shenzuo and others could dine here together. Gui Chuanpeng hurriedly ran out.

"Director Jiang took Camp Commander Gui, I have something to say to Deputy Zhao Tuan." Jin Tongxuan asked.

Jiang Chunyang nodded and said, "I discussed with Shizuo and Boss Mo all the way, the loss of the second detachment of the eleventh tour this time was too great, and the third battalion commander Deng Jiumao must be supplemented." I propose that Zhang Changwu lead the subordinate into the second detachment and join the third battalion, and Zhang Changwu will serve as the commander of the third battalion. ”

"Zhang Changwu? But the former Sergeant Zhang of the Lujiang Police Station? Zhao Jin asked.

Jiang Chunyang nodded: "He rebelled on the battlefield when we attacked Xiaoshi this time, joined us, and then recruited more than 400 puppet troops in Duxiu Mountain, and fought bloodily in the subsequent interception and was wounded bravely." ”

"Needless to say, Director Jiang, I've heard of him, this is a man, with him, there is a suitable candidate for the Shipai police chief!" Zhao Jin said with a smile: "To put it mildly, he is not a little stronger than Deng Jiumao." ”

"There are only more than 100 people under him, and the rest of the insufficient personnel will be recruited in Shipai." Mo Di said: "Tell Commander Hao that this time, I thank him." ”

Stayed in Sanqiao Huangdun for one night, and the next day, each returned, Zhang Changwu knew that he was assigned to Zhao Jin's department, and he was very satisfied, Zhao Jin was the same as him, and he also came from the founding army anyway, and everyone had a history and could understand each other better.

All the other ministries returned to Meicheng.

Unbeknownst to all of them, they were able to triumph thanks to a telegraph battle the night before.

After eating dinner in Zhao Jin's department, he returned to the temporary headquarters prepared by Shi Chong, and before he could sit down, he received a telegram from the 48th Army, which believed that now that the Huangdun army was gathered, it was just right to take advantage of the situation to go east to Anqing and take Anqing. The military headquarters can telegraph the 138th Division's Yan Junlongye Supplement Regiment stationed in Lu'an and the He Shusheng 412th Regiment stationed in Shucheng to go all out to reinforce the south, with the 528th Regiment of Zhou Mengxiong of the 176th Division of Tongcheng and Yang Chuangqi of the chessboard as the north road, the Modi, Wei Zhigao, and Zhao Jin Divisions as the west road, and the Yueshan Longyingyun Zhongding Nai's Department as the forward.

After Tan Heyi saw the telegram, he was also moved, thinking that the current situation of the Anqing army was weak, and it was a good time to take Anqing. Mo Di felt that it would not be a problem to take Anqing, but he couldn't see what the benefits of taking Anqing were. What is not beneficial, Mo Enemy will not act rashly. Jin Tongxuan thought for a while, looked up several times, wanted to say something, and endured it again. Mo Di saw Jin Tongxuan's expression and said, "If you have any opinions, just say it, let's refer to it together." ”

Jin Tongxuan nodded, he was afraid of Tan Heyi's presence, if it weren't for the presence of the acting division commander of the new official, he wouldn't have spoken so much.

"Anqing, you can't fight." Jin Tongxuan said.

"Why?" Tan Heyi asked.

"Not only can't you fight now, but it's better not to fight in the future." Jin Tongxuan said.

"Tell me what you think." Mo Di nodded, not to fight Anqing, it was exactly what he wanted, he didn't find a reason not to fight, and he didn't know if his chief of staff could say one, two, three.

"First, at present, Anqing's military strength is not superior, it does not mean that it will never be superior, although we can take Anqing, who dares to say that we can occupy Anqing for a long time. Second, if the military department has the intention of occupying Anqing for a long time, then it is necessary to make preparations for long-term operations, increase troops and materials, and form a grinding plate. Third, it is impossible for the Japanese army to abandon Anqing, which is the throat of the Yangtze River and an important town in Central China, and will definitely concentrate its forces to recapture it. Our 176th Division is not an opponent, and a 48th Army is not an opponent, or it will drag the entire 21st Group Army into it. Jin Tongxuan said: "Fourth, and the most important. At present, we have crippled and destroyed the Japanese puppet army in Anqing, and blocked them in Anqing City, so that they could not leave the city and could not show the public. Except for one Anqing City, the entire West Six Counties is ours, if you don't go out of the city to attack me, I won't attack the city to find trouble for you, everyone is safe. If the business is done well, we can maintain this state with the Japanese puppet army in Anqing, and we can ensure the safety of the six counties in the west for three to five years. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Mo Di's face, the purpose of this battle is not as Jin Tongxuan said, to be able to fight for three or five years of peace in one battle, why not, instead of taking the initiative to attack the city and find nothing to do, it is better to stop and recuperate.

Tan Heyi also understood Jin Tongxuan's words, and he knew that as long as he insisted on Jin Tongxuan's set, his next life in Yuexi would be better.

Several people discussed for a while, and talked back and forth with the military department on the phone many times, Tan Heyi believed that although Kazuo Aoki was repulsed, the various units of the 176th Division also suffered a lot of losses, and they were afraid that they could not fight again. The military department emphasized that the 138th Division could be fully reinforced, and it would definitely be able to play triumph again. Tan Heyi called again, believing that if this move attracted a large number of Japanese troops, not only would Anqing be difficult to protect, but the six western counties would also be lost, and the Japanese army could find a way to attack Lihuang from the six western counties, and the good situation in western Anhui would be wiped out. Only then did the military department cancel the previous proposal, no longer cause trouble, and agreed to retreat with the whole army.
