Chapter 510: The Southern Anhui Incident as promised
Chapter 510 The Wannan Incident came as promised
One month passed in the blink of an eye. The main divisions and field columns that had been reorganized successively gathered in Taiyuan City and moved into the camp that the headquarters had just opened for them outside the city. Of course,
These newly reorganized troops had just entered their new military camps when they received an order personally issued by Liu Hua from the headquarters regarding the formation training of various troops...
Although, in this era, there is no army in China that pays special attention to the formation training of the troops. Even the so-called review troops only look at the military appearance of the soldiers, and there is no such thing as walking in a straight line. However, from
Later generations of Liu Hua knew clearly that having the troops train in goose-step was not only a matter of military image. More importantly, goose-step could cultivate the sincere unity of an army. More importantly, neat goose-step would
It can very well show the true momentum and high morale of an army to everyone and yourself...
As a result, just after each unit entered its own camp, an order issued by Liu Hua himself was sent to the hands of commanders at all levels: "Order, one week later, each main division will pass its own training,
Deploy a main battalion of troops (must be a reorganized battalion) to participate in a military parade that the headquarters will organize in the near future to test the combat effectiveness and training level of each unit. At that time, Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee will personally visit the venue to review everyone
At the same time, the Field Army Headquarters will also make specific evaluations based on the performance of each unit. There will be certain rewards and penalties for the first place and the last place. I hope that the commanders of each main division will pay attention to it... Northeast
Field Army Commander Liu Hua..."
Ever since, following Liu Hua's order, the military camps of the main divisions outside the city immediately began to ring with loud slogans from the soldiers... One after another, the troops began to conduct the minimum formation training in battalion units...
Under the supervision of commanders at all levels, these soldiers who had undergone certain preliminary training, in a very high period, in less than a few days, trained the entire queue to be almost as pure as fire. And each main force
The division, on the day before the last time to arrive, conducted its own competition to select the strongest representative team to participate in the official military parade that will be coming in the near future...
On this day, when Commander Liu Hua and two political commissars were walking back and forth among various military camps outside the city, conducting inspections, the sound of a roaring three-wheeled motorcycle engine reached their ears.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the communications staff officer of the headquarters stabbing a three-wheeled motorcycle. He rushed past the inspection of the sentry and quickly rushed towards his location...
"Squeak..." A sharp braking sound reached everyone's ears, and the three-wheeled motorcycle suddenly stopped in front of Liu Hua. Immediately afterwards, the communications officer took a folder and quickly jumped off the motorcycle.
, ran in front of the two people, saluted, and reported anxiously...
"The commander, political commissar, and chief of staff asked me to send an urgent message. It was from the central government. Something happened in the New Fourth Army..."
"What? Something happened to the New Fourth Army... Come on, show me..." As he spoke, Liu Hua, who looked anxious, had already snatched the telegram from the hands of the communications staff, and quickly browsed it. In less than half a minute,
Liu Hua's expression immediately changed. Then, he handed the telegram in his hand to the political commissar beside him, and said at the same time: "Political commissar, let's go back to the headquarters first. We have something big to do..."
After saying that, Liu Hua walked quickly towards the direction of the headquarters with his thoughts in mind. You must know that in later generations, the Wannan Incident has always been a very big injustice. I originally thought that because of myself
With the arrival of the new year, there will be some small side gestures in this unjust case. However, I still have too much amnesia. During this period, I was busy with the reorganization of the army every day, and I actually forgot such an important thing...
"Chief of Staff, how is the situation now? Has the central government sent any other specific information?" In reply to the headquarters, Commander Liu Hua came directly to a huge map that had just been hung up by Chief of Staff Li Qing.
, asked with an anxious look. And this huge map is the map of Anhui Province in Central China that rarely appears in the headquarters...
"The situation is not optimistic. After the Party Central Committee sent us a warning telegram, I immediately ordered all ministries to immediately start collecting various intelligence in the southern Anhui region. The various marks on the map now are all our investigators. Just now
The latest results of the investigation..." As he spoke, Chief of Staff Li Qing pointed to various red and white arrows on a map hanging on the wall.
"It seems that the current *** troops have formed a huge encirclement around the main force of our New Fourth Army. As long as the *** troops launch a sudden attack and the *** troops have sufficient strength, our New Fourth Army will
It is difficult to escape the fate of being completely annihilated..." Looking at the various *** troops that had formed an encirclement, Commander Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh...
"What, *** launched a surprise attack? How is that possible? Commander, isn't this the time for the national and united front? *** Chiang Kai-shek, dare to go against the general rule of the world and destroy the united front when the little devils have not been driven away.
, become a national sinner?" Just after Liu Hua finished speaking, both political commissar Luo Ronghuan and chief of staff Li Qing had a look of disbelief on their faces. They couldn't help but exclaimed.
…
"Haha, a national sinner... Political commissar, chief of staff, in this troubled world, as long as there are troops and territory, even if you are a national sinner, you will still be the president of the country. Besides, this Chiang Kai-shek is not a good person to begin with.
I think back then, when Chiang Kai-shek launched the revolutionary rebellion, he did many things that were unworthy of the people, killed too many revolutionaries, and how many innocent people died in his hands. However, the position of president is still that of this charlatan.
In the hands of Chiang Kai-shek..." Liu Hua couldn't help but sneered and said to the two people in front of him.
"But, Commander. Our main force of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, plus the New Fourth Army headquarters, has less than 10,000 troops at full strength. Why would Chiang Kai-shek deploy so many troops to encircle and annihilate our New Fourth Army? Even if Chiang Kai-shek wanted to
To encircle and suppress our ***, they should also target our Eighth Route Army troops. After all, we pose a greater threat to them..." Chief of Staff Li Qing still asked with a trace of doubt on his face.
"Chief of Staff, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't dare. As the saying goes, the entire North China region has been completely occupied by our Eighth Route Army troops. The total strength of the Eighth Route Army has also increased from less than 50,000 at that time.
, developed to the current one million people. A full one million army, plus the little devils in the Jiangnan area, who are eagerly watching. Chiang Kai-shek simply does not have the ability to launch an attack on us. As for why the New Fourth Army should be encircled and suppressed, the reason is very simple, Chiang Kai-shek
He was afraid of the speed of our Eighth Route Army's expansion. He was afraid that the Jiangnan area where he relied for survival would once again develop into the base area of our party. If the New Fourth Army once again developed into the current Eighth Route Army, then Chiang Kai-shek would really lose
At that time, even if the Japanese army is defeated by us, Chiang Kai-shek will only have half of his country left. Do you think this Chiang Kai-shek can tolerate us developing in his rear?" Slowly, political commissar Luo Ronghuan
From Liu Hua's words, he discovered the most fundamental reason. Then, he said to the Chief of Staff Li Qing in front of him.
"Commander, Political Commissar, nearly 10,000 New Fourth Army commanders and fighters are now surrounded by the *** army. Are we just going to watch our comrades being wiped out by the *** troops... Commander, Political Commissar
, No matter what, we must find a way to rescue these troops..." Chief of Staff Li Qing said...
"Chief of Staff, what day is today?" Liu Hua did not answer immediately, but asked Li Qing in front of him anxiously...
"Today is January 5th. Commander, what can I do?" Although he didn't know why the commander asked for the specific date, he still replied subconsciously.
"January 5th...there is still one day..." Hearing the chief of staff's answer, Liu Hua murmured to himself. Then, his eyes lit up, and he continued to ask: "Chief of Staff, our Taiyuan City is about 30 kilometers away from Wannan
The current specific location of the New Fourth Army and how far it is in a straight line. If a forced march is carried out, can it be reached in five days..."
As for the time limit of five days, Liu Hua clearly remembered that historically, the entire Wannan Incident lasted seven days of fighting. If the troops he sent could arrive at the battlefield within five days.
Then, with the combat effectiveness of the special forces, we should be able to rescue many comrades who were captured by the Japanese army, or who were surrounded by the Japanese army, and even those who were captured by the Japanese army.
General Ye Ting, who is under house arrest, may be rescued...
"Commander, if each member of the special force is equipped with a war horse, according to their marching speed, they can arrive at the battlefield and participate in the battle within four days..." Although I don't know why the commander in front of me set the time as five days
However, Chief of Staff Li Qing, who trusted Liu Hua and looked at the map, reported the most detailed data immediately. Then, he looked at Commander Liu Hua in front of him expectantly...
"Okay, order the special operations brigade to temporarily cancel the plan to advance northward. At the same time, order the logistics department to equip each member of the special operations group with a war horse and rush to the battlefield in southern Anhui where a battle may break out at any time as quickly as possible. Rescue the victims.
The *** army is heavily surrounded or captured soldiers. At the same time, if possible, launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the *** army and knock down their command structure. Since the *** troops are unkind, don't blame us
Communists are unjust..." Commander Liu Hua broke the pencil in his hand and ordered to the chief of staff in front of him with a firm look on his face...
"Commander, I'm going to deliver the order right now..." As he spoke, Chief of Staff Li Qing hurriedly wanted to run out...
"Well, there is one more thing. I order Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations brigade, to come to the headquarters before setting off. I have an important task to give him..." Liu Hua nodded and said...
In less than a few minutes, Liu Xiaogang arrived at the headquarters. Looking at Liu Xiaogang in front of him, Liu Hua did not hesitate at all, and immediately based on the memory in his mind, in future generations, the *** troops in the Wannan Incident
The locations of the various levels of headquarters were pointed out one by one to Liu Xiaogang, who looked incomprehensible in front of him.
"Captain Liu, I just carefully observed these places on the map. They are very suitable for use as the headquarters of the army. Therefore, after you arrive with the special operations brigade, it is best to divide the troops into two groups. Some of the team members will immediately go
The attack was responsible for responding to the troops besieged by the Japanese and the captured soldiers. As for the other part, it was to raid these highlands, find the enemy's command structures, and destroy their headquarters. In addition, in the process of destroying the enemy's headquarters
, Capture these senior *** officers as much as possible, and wait for our base later..." Liu Hua ordered with a confident look on his face...
"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission... Time is tight, I will set off now..." After saying that, Liu Xiaogang rushed out of the headquarters with an excited look and ran towards his station...
"Commander, to deal with these *** reactionaries, why don't you just kill them instead of capturing them for a waste of food?" Looking at Liu Xiaogang leaving, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said to the confident Liu Hua in front of him.
He said with an angry face.
"Political Commissar, just wait. When the time comes, as long as these *** army commanders can be captured in our hands. Even if the New Fourth Army suffers heavy losses, we will make Chiang Kai-shek pay a price for his own actions.
The price of satisfaction. In the southern Anhui region, Chiang Kai-shek has assembled a total of 80,000 *** troops. How many commanders above major generals must there be among them? I believe that Chiang Kai-shek does not have the guts to lose a dozen or even dozens of soldiers at once.
General..." Facing the political commissar's question, Liu Hua replied with a smile on his face.
At this moment, the four combat squadrons of the special operations brigade, with more than a thousand members, had already mounted the war horses newly equipped by the logistics department. With all their equipment, they quickly rushed out of Taiyuan City and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Inside... And the target of the special operations brigade, no surprise, is directly aimed at the southern Anhui area hundreds of kilometers away...
"Commander, the special operations brigade has set off under the leadership of Captain Liu." Back at the headquarters, Chief of Staff Li Qing reported directly without having time to take any rest.
"Well, then we will just wait and see what happens here, waiting for the special operations brigade to give us good news. In addition, the political commissar, immediately report our plan to the central meeting point and submit it to the *** for filing. I believe, Chairman
After understanding our action plan, he will definitely agree with it..." Liu Hua nodded and continued to order...
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, the *** army in southern Anhui, as happened in history, on the evening of January 6, attacked various units of the New Fourth Army in the encirclement.
A sudden and violent attack was launched. In this way, the seven-day Southern Anhui Incident, with extremely cruel and fierce fighting, began...
During these three days, more than a thousand members of the special operations team worked almost non-stop. On the second day of departure, they passed by a war horse that marched day and night. Due to the long period of rapid march, it lost its combat capability. However,
, the team members without their war horses, their belief in rescuing friendly forces has not weakened at all. After spending two hours to rob a convoy from the Japanese army, more than a thousand team members, except for some team members, still
In addition to riding on war horses and patrolling back and forth around the convoy, the remaining team members took turns entering the carriages to replenish the physical strength consumed by the long and urgent march.
Finally, in this way of marching, just as the evening of the fourth day of departure was approaching, a faint sound of gunfire reached their ears. And the team members who heard the sound of gunfire,
In just a moment, as if being hit with a stimulant, the tired look on his face was immediately wiped away, and then a look of excitement appeared...
An hour later, as the sky became darker and darker, just when the soldiers could vaguely see the lights of fire appearing several kilometers away, the entire convoy stopped at the command of captain Liu Xiaogang...
"Political Commissar, ask the soldiers to first drive all these large trucks to the woods next to the road and hide them. By then, there must be many wounded among the New Fourth Army troops we rescued. Now we are just in the area controlled by the Japanese army.
These trucks will make it very convenient to evacuate the wounded..." Liu Xiaogang ordered as he looked at dozens of large trucks lined up on the road.
With the assistance of more than a thousand soldiers, large trucks were quickly driven into the dense forest next to the highway. Looking at the nearly a thousand special forces members who had gathered in front of him, Liu Xiaogang's
A bloodthirsty smile slowly appeared on his face. Then, he gave a loud order to all the commanders and soldiers in front of him...
"Comrades, on the way, everyone kept asking me what the goal of our operation was. Now that we have arrived on the battlefield, we can tell you. Right in front of us, the *** army, amidst Chiang Kai-shek's orders,
A total of 80,000 troops were assembled, and regardless of the agreement on the National Common Front, they brazenly provoked trouble and launched an attack on the first-level New Fourth Army headquarters of our nearly 10,000 New Fourth Army troops. Today, our special operations brigade was ordered to command
According to the commander’s order, there are two tasks in coming here.”
