Chapter 8: Guerrilla (21)

In late January, Zhao Guolong and other brothers who went home to visit relatives returned to Guilin one after another, and Mo Di woke up to the fact that the original leisure days were coming to an end, and the first class of traveling cadres to Hengshan was about to start.

I'm leaving Guilin tomorrow, and I'll have to have a drink the night before. Zhang Xiangpu was naturally the east, he had a bad time during this time, the Japanese planes bombed Guilin every three or five times, and two of his industries were bombed by the Japanese planes, and the losses were not small. The greater losses were due to the bombing, and the number of merchants who came to Guilin to buy goods was significantly reduced, and some of those who did business in Guilin also planned to move west to Guizhou. Everyone basically agrees that sooner or later the Japanese will open up the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, followed by the Hunan and Guizhou lines, and Guangxi is in a catastrophe.

Xianggui Hotel is a very stylish restaurant at the west gate of Wangcheng, with three floors and magnificent decoration. When Mo Di walked into the door of the hotel, he heard Hai Jingqiang say in an extremely dark tone: "Dog, it's been blown up so many times, and this restaurant hasn't hurt a single tile!" Mo Di couldn't help but smile and said, "If it blows up, we can only go into the pearl cave tonight to set the table." Hai Jingqiang smiled and said: "This proposal is good, in the summer, I will arrange to go to the big wind tunnel on the wind cave mountain to set up a banquet, the wind is blowing cool, to ensure that you will not sweat when eating dog meat hot pot." Mo Di shook his head, this second generation of officials dares to do anything.

The box of the first Tianzi of Xianggui Hotel, the window is facing the city wall of the royal city, the city wall made of large stones in all directions is in full view, looking at it from afar, it is the Duxiu Peak in the royal city, surrounded by the city wall of the four directions, a pillar in the south sky is more majestic. In the box, Mo Di became the natural guest of honor, Zhang Xiangpu naturally sat in the main seat, this is the position to pay, no one will rob him, and the people who sat around the round table were naturally Wei Yunsong, Zhou Zuhuang, Zhong Songhai, Jingqiang and others. There were also a few tables in the hall, and Zhao Guolong sat in a bunch with Wei Yunsong and the entourage.

"You really don't bring a car to study for four months?" Wei Yunsong asked, he knew that the most surplus of the invincible troops was the car, and he also liked to rob the Japanese car, and he was also very good at using the car, unlike some friendly troops, who captured the Japanese car in addition to burning the fire.

Mo Di shook his head and said, "I'm here to learn, not to set up music." What I mean is that when I get to Hengyang, I will go to Hengshan by myself, and Zhao Guolong and his gang will go back to Anhui first. I'm an ordinary officer, and I take a bunch of people to study, and those who don't know think it's going to fight in a group. ”

"I saw Ling Yun today, he also went to Hengshan for training, he brought more entourage than you, got a car, and prepared to drive from Guilin to Hengshan tomorrow. The entourage sat in the car, pulled supplies, and pulled a lot of gifts, saying that he was going to study, which was a bit of a greeting gift. Zhong Ji said: "Tianzong, you should also prepare some, otherwise everyone has something, and you are empty-handed, which is not very good-looking." ”

"That's it, I have things there, ready-made, no need to buy them, Hongqinglong's things, go and ask for them at any time." Zhang Xiangpu said.

Mo Di shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to have anything to do with them, I don't need to do anything with them after I finish studying, I don't need to do any classmates." I studied at the Guilin Military Academy for more than a year, and after I left, I never contacted any of my classmates, and it was only when I returned to the military academy this time that I learned that half of them had died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. ”

Everyone knows that when Mo Di was in the military academy, he was misunderstood by his classmates because he had too close contacts with Japanese instructors, and there were many people who criticized him, and there were many people who did something to him. It is completely impossible for a person with this kind of experience to let him go to do any greeting ceremony.

"Then I'll send you something!" Zhou Zuhuang said: "Have any of your entourages learned to send and receive newspapers?" ”

"Yes." Mo Wei nodded.

"Then it won't be troublesome, I don't have to give you a telegraph operator." Zhou Zuhuang said: "We got back a batch of very good telegraph machines from the United States this time, using storage batteries, with small hand-cranked generators, the machines are not big, the power is not small, and they are easy to use. Our 16th Group Army was given a batch, and I told Xia Xucang (Xia Wei) today, and he agreed to give you one, on the condition that after you return from your studies, you will send me a regiment commander who can fight guerrillas back. ”

Invincible Daxi, this thing is what he likes, this time he didn't bring one with him, he already regretted that his intestines were green, and his study in Hengshan would not end until May, and there were still four months, in these four months, if he couldn't get in touch with the outside situation, wouldn't he suffocate him to death. Hurriedly thanked Zhou Zuhuang and told Zhou Zuhuang that the guerrilla regiment commander was ready-made, and after he went back, he would let the deputy regiment commander Huang Tianhua out and let him report to the 16th Group Army, whether to use it as the regiment commander or for something else, whatever, just a condition, first get the rank of colonel.

Zhou Zuhuang laughed and said, "If you can get Huang Tianhua, my telegraph will be too worthwhile!" The colonel has no problem, he must nail three stars to Huang Tianhua's shoulder. ”

Wei Yunsong asked Mo Di, how could he be willing to release Huang Tianhua, this is a wise general.

Mo Di said: "I know that because I don't have a military academy degree, it is estimated that I will have to suffer for many years on the rank of colonel, and I can't delay these brothers because of me." As long as there is good development, I can't stay there. Xu Le was a major general under Huang Jikuan (Huang Shaohong) in Zhejiang, Xu Ping was a major general under Dai Yunong (Dai Lianzi), and Li Baicheng also became the colonel. ”

Wei Yunsong nodded and said, "Tianzong, you really don't have to say anything about your treatment of the brothers. ”

"yes!" Zhong Jijiao said: "I met Li Baicheng in the 176th Division, he is my old watch, when he was recommended to Tianzong, he was still a small lieutenant, and in more than a year, he was already the commander of the colonel. In my hometown, now in addition to me and my brother are major generals, the next is Li Baicheng, my uncle has repaired a family tree for this, built an ancestral hall, and put an unknown number of wines! ”

Wei Yunsong picked up his wine glass and said to Zhou Zuhuang: "Your brother's trick is accurate enough, I knew that I could go to Huang Tianhua, and I am willing to give it to the five transmitters." This time you take advantage of it. ”

Zhou Zuhuang drank it all and said: "This Huang Tianhua is indeed a talent, I only received the news two days ago, because he sent troops to Huaining Gaohebu to drive away the Japanese puppet army occupying Gaohebu, and at the same time the New Fourth Army occupying Huaining was also driven away, completely disrupting the position of the New Fourth Army, and Yang Kezhi who was preparing to fight with Liu Qinglong in Hefei was transferred back. ”

"Huang Tianhua entered Gaohebu? When did this happen? Mo Di asked in surprise.

"At the beginning of the month, the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army marched to Hefei at the request of Dai Jiying, do you know this?" Zhou Zuhuang asked.

Mo Wei nodded. He had read a lot of information in Zhou Zuhuang's office in the past two days, and knew that because of the narrow territory and the difficulty in raising provisions, especially in winter, it was even worse, and after the merger of the Jiangbei Column and the First Column of the New Fourth Army, the troops expanded rapidly, and the pressure in the original area was already great. Therefore, the New Fourth Army decided to expand its power to the periphery, even if it was a Japanese-occupied area, leaving the cities to the Japanese army and the vast countryside as its own. In Anhui, a huge belt of the Yellow Flood Zone pressed the New Fourth Army in a narrow area, with the Yellow Flood Zone in the east, the Gui system in the west, and Xu Ping and Li Benyi in the north.

Yuan Doushu of Feixi bore the brunt of the attack, and was caught off guard by Yang Kezhi and fled to Feidong. When Yang Kezhi was preparing to receive Feixi and Hefei, Liu Qinglong's assault brigade appeared, and at the same time there were vole troops, with the cooperation of Liu Qinglong and voles, Yang Kezhi suffered a big loss, a regiment went in, was knocked out almost a third, and returned to Shucheng.

Gao Jingting was shocked, and immediately ordered Zhou Junming's eighth regiment and Zhan Huayu's pistol regiment to reinforce, Zhou Junming's eighth regiment had just set off from Lujiang, and received news that Huang Tianhua took advantage of the situation to occupy Huaining and took out a frame to attack Tongcheng. Faced with the enemy on both sides, the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army was taken aback, and the Gui Department and Xu Ping actually helped each other so much, which was completely unexpected by the New Fourth Army. Zhang Yunyi proposed that he could not fight again, and if he fought again, it would arouse the fighting spirit of the Gui army, and if he didn't get it, all the base areas in Chaoxi would be lost. Xiang Ying believed that the main force of the Gui army was all in the area of Yingshan and Huoshan to resist the enemy, and only a small number of troops remained in Anqing. Chen Yi and Su Yu were asked to lead the first column to reinforce Tongcheng, join forces with Gao Jingting, eliminate Huang Tianhua, take the counties under the jurisdiction of Anqing, and at the same time take the area north of Chaohu Lake in Xu Ping.

Chen Yi has been in Jiangbei for a long time, and often heard the name of the 1056th Regiment of the 176th Division of the Gui Army. Being able to sell so many armaments to themselves, not to mention their own equipment. According to Cao Yufu, political commissar of the Seventh Regiment of the Fourth Detachment, who sent the equipment, although this regiment is only a regiment, it has the main force of seven battalions, and it can fight with a Japanese infantry brigade at any time.

One insisted on fighting, the other refused to execute, Xiang Ying was in Jiangnan, so anxious that he stared, and finally Zhang Yunyi compromised and proposed, the south and the north to fight, the south and Huang Tianhua to make peace, and then send people to the north to fight Liu Qinglong.

As a result, Yang Kezhi was transferred back from Hefei to negotiate peace with Huang Tianhua. Mo Di said with a smile: Yang Kezhi will not leave Shucheng, his seventh regiment is the strongest regiment, if he leaves, the seventh regiment will not be Liu Qinglong's opponent, it is estimated that there are other people negotiating. Zhou Zuhuang asked who it was estimated? Mo Di said, as long as it is not Zhang Yunyi, if it is Zhang Yunyi, let alone let Huang Tianhua withdraw from Huaining, it is okay to withdraw from Qianshan.

Zhou Zuhuang nodded and said, Zhang Yunyi is still very prestigious in Guangxi!
