"Commander, good news, Captain Wang and others succeeded. This is the victory telegram sent by Captain Wang just now. Our second and third brigades successfully attacked. The little Japanese's headquarters was destroyed by us..." Just as Commander
When Liu Hua, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu and the three people in the weekly report were discussing the current distribution of enemies and enemies in the Mengshan area, Deputy Captain Liu Xiaogang rushed over with excitement and said...
"Wang Ping and the others really succeeded... Come on, show me the telegram..." Unexpectedly, as the planner of the entire campaign plan, Commander Liu Hua also grabbed the telegram from Liu Xiaogang's hand with excitement and began to read it seriously.
Reading... "Okay, good job. Lao Yang, our advance detachment has prepared the second gift for our Anti-Japanese Alliance. It will be delivered to you in a moment..."
"Commander, what kind of gift is it that makes you so excited..." Looking at the excited commander in front of him, Yang Jingyu asked...
"Let me tell you, just now, the 23rd and 2nd brigades of my advance detachment successfully attacked the Japanese forward command post. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese command post was successfully occupied. As for the Lieutenant General Commander Little Devil,
In the process of avoiding artillery fire, he was suffocated to death by his guards... I think, if nothing else, this must be the first lieutenant general among the little devils who was suffocated to death by his own guards.
Commander..." Liu Hua said with a smile and handed the telegram in his hand to Yang Jingyu...
"Commander, this is true... I can't believe it, I can't believe it. The advance detachment actually took over the enemy's headquarters, and also eliminated a Japanese lieutenant general, a major general, and several colonel officers..." Look.
After understanding the contents of the telegram in his hand, at this moment, Yang Jingyu's face can only be described with two words: surprise and shock...
Finally, in everyone's expectation, two hours later, the figures of nearly 3,000 commanders and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd brigades who had returned from victory finally appeared in front of everyone... looking at them carried on the shoulders of the soldiers,
Boxes of seized ammunition and weapons seized one by one. Thousands of anti-union commanders and fighters who came to greet them immediately came forward and took the weapons and ammunition from the shoulders of the soldiers.
"Report to the commander, chief, that the second and third detachment of the advance detachment have successfully completed their mission, please give instructions from the commander. In addition, commander, these are the command swords, epaulettes and guns of the commander of the Little Devil Division and the chief of staff. In addition, we
Within the enemy's headquarters, several operational maps that had not been destroyed and some important documents were also found..." Wang Ping quickly came to Liu Hua, Yang Jingyu and others, and reported loudly...
Unexpectedly, just as Wang Ping finished speaking, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu took the lead, took several maps from Wang Ping's hand, and began to read them carefully... Then, he looked at the people around him with an excited look on his face.
said…
"Commander, great, these maps are the defense maps of the Japs in the Mengshan area...With these maps, we can clearly know the deployment of the Japs in the Mengshan area.
.Similarly, you can also easily find the enemy's weaknesses and then carry out a breakout...Commander, I suggest that we hold an enlarged military meeting immediately to discuss the next combat objectives of the anti-alliance and advance detachment..."
In the end, the Shimenling Meeting, which was a turning point in the development of the Anti-Japanese League and the advance detachment, was successfully held under the proposal of Yang Jingyu and others... The most important topic of the entire meeting was to focus on one issue. The Anti-Alliance and the advance detachment
, in the next actions, the two troops will immediately break out of the encirclement to find and establish a new anti-Japanese base area. Or they will fight on the spot to break the enemy's encirclement and suppression of the Mengshan base area and continuously expand the base area in the Mengshan area...
"Commander, I suggest that we break out of the encirclement immediately and find a new base..." Zhou Baozhong expressed his thoughts with a sure look on his face...
"Tell me your reasons..." Regarding Zhou Baozhong's suggestion, Liu Hua did not raise his head and asked in a low voice. As for his eyes, he was still looking at the several military deployment maps of the Japanese army that had just been captured in front of him...
"Commander, comrades, my reason is very simple. Although, after the counterattack at night, we cut off one of the little devil's arms. However, around us, there are still enemies with a bonus of 100,000 yuan... And we, two
The total number of these troops is less than 10,000... No matter in terms of strength or firepower, there is no comparison with the Japanese army. Therefore, I think we should break through immediately before the enemy can react to avoid
Conduct a head-on battle with the Japanese army..." Zhou Baozhong replied affirmatively...
"Old Zhou, I want to correct you now. The total strength of our two armies currently exceeds 10,000. According to the news we just received, after several hours of mobilization and education by our anti-resistance alliance, our army
Among the more than 5,000 captured Manchurian soldiers, nearly 3,000 have voluntarily joined our resistance alliance and fought with us to fight the Japanese. Therefore, the total strength of our two armies has now reached more than 13,000.
..." Yang Jingyu said with a smile...
"Commander, even if our total strength reaches more than 13,000 people, there is no comparison between us and the Japanese army. What's more important is that these 3,000-odd Manchurians who have just joined our resistance alliance are
Army soldiers. Because they have just joined us, only God knows how high their combat effectiveness and attachment to our resistance alliance are..." Regarding the future development direction of the army, Zhou Baozhong did not care that Yang Jingyu was his commander. He went straight to the point
retorted…
"Lao Yang, Comrade Zhou Baozhong is right. Only God knows the combat effectiveness of the three thousand Manchurian Army soldiers and their sense of belonging to our army. However, I have a way to improve the combat effectiveness of this unit in the shortest possible time.
, and at the same time, let them feel that joining the Anti-Japanese Alliance is the wisest choice in their lives... You must know that this method was the most commonly used method for treating prisoners of the Communist Army during our Agrarian Revolution, and it was very effective.
Obviously..." Facing the two people arguing, Liu Hua raised his head and said with a smile on his face...
"Commander, what is the solution?" In an instant, the eyes of the two people focused on Liu Hua at the same time. After all, if the three thousand Manchurian Army soldiers could really be turned into real anti-alliance soldiers, it would take a full two-year life.
The establishment of a main force group... This has to make Yang Jingyu and Zhou Baozhong, who only have 5,000 combat troops at this moment, feel excited...
"Xiaogang, tell the two leaders how we changed the prisoners after the breakout of Xiangxi and turned them into real Red Army soldiers..." Liu Hua nodded and said to Liu Xiaogang in front of him. Then,
Continue to pay attention to the map spread out on the table in front of you...
"Yes, Commander...the two leaders, the situation is like this. At that time, we had a total of two steps. The first step was to launch a complaint campaign to make them realize that the Red Army is the people's own team. Only by joining the Red Army
is their only way out. The second step is to rely on fighting and constantly win the war. Let them understand that only by following our Red Army can they win the war, see hope for the future, and increase their sense of identification and belonging to the army.
Feeling..." Liu Xiaogang said.0….
"Complaint campaign, continue to win the battle... Okay, this is a good way, why didn't I think of it... Lao Zhou, please notify me immediately, we can't win the battle for the time being, but we can start the complain campaign first... Liu Xiaogang
Comrade, can you lend me some people to guide us and launch this complaint movement..." Yang Jingyu, who has rich experience in political work, immediately discovered the benefits of combining the two steps. Then
He said with excitement...
"Chief, there is no problem...Wang Hong, go and gather all the cadres and soldiers from our advance detachment who have experience in political work and hand them over to Commander Zhou..." Liu Xiaogang immediately ordered...
"Lao Yang, Comrade Zhou Baozhong. Have you ever thought about how even if we get these soldiers to voluntarily join the Eighth Route Army through a grievance campaign, but then we start to break out and retreat... what will this make these recruits think?
Therefore, they must go through fighting. Without fighting, these recruits will never become real Eighth Route Army soldiers..." Just as Liu Xiaogang finished speaking, Liu Hua suddenly said...
"Commander, what do you mean..." Yang Jingyu asked with a confused look on his face...
"Look at this map. Although we are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops. However, after the battle at night, we destroyed almost all the mobile units of the Japanese army. More importantly, we also destroyed
After losing their command structure, think about what kind of situation these 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops will fall into in a short period of time after losing their command structure... The Japanese army can be said to be well-trained after all. However, tens of thousands
The Manchurian Army troops are not that high-quality... By then, if we can concentrate our forces and strive to eliminate another 10,000 to 20,000 enemies... then they will inevitably withdraw after losing 30% of their troops. By that time, the Japanese and puppets will
The army's encirclement and suppression of us will be defeated by itself..." Pointing to the map in front of him, Liu Hua analyzed...
"Commander, you mean that we stay here and don't break out..." Yang Jingyu was the first to react and said...
"Why should we break through... Although we are inferior to the Japanese army in terms of military strength and firepower. But with the destruction of the Japanese army's command system and the complete annihilation of mobile units, the initiative of the entire campaign is already in our hands. That is
, Our enemies have hundreds of thousands of troops, but they can only watch us helplessly and eat up their troops distributed in the vast Mengshan area bit by bit, but there is no way..."
Seeing everyone listening to his explanation with rapt attention, Liu Hua continued...
"More importantly, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has been operating in the Mengshan area for several years. Both in terms of mass base and understanding of the local terrain, it surpasses our enemies. It can be said that now the enemy is
They are in the open, while our resistance alliance is in the dark, and may launch an attack on them at any time. The last one is the current morale of the troops. After the victorious counterattack at night, the morale of the soldiers can be said to be very high...
.Facing such favorable conditions for us, why should we make a breakthrough?"
"Okay, well said... Comrades, what the commander said is great. As the deputy commander of the field army, I completely agree with the commander's suggestion. We are in the Mengshan area, under the leadership of the commander, and the little devils
Carry out the most resolute struggle. In the end, through our efforts, we will defeat the enemies surrounding us in one fell swoop, smash the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression of us, and expand the Mengshan base area..." Yang Jingyu said with certainty...
"I agree...I also agree..." With Yang Jingyu's speech, in the subsequent show of hands vote, there was no longer any doubt. Even Zhou Baozhong, who had always had a breakout attitude at the beginning,
, after listening to Liu Hua's explanation, his eyes shone brightly, he changed his mind without any hesitation, and cast his vote...
"Commander, the vote was unanimous... We will stay in the Mengshan base area, and under your leadership, we will continue to fight against the Japs..." Seeing the commanders in the conference room all raising their right hands, Yang Jingyu said...
"Okay, thank you comrades for your support. Next, I will tell you the specific combat ideas in my mind. According to various information we captured, the Japanese forward command we eliminated today was the 22nd Japanese Army.
The division headquarters of the division also destroyed the Matsuda Regiment of the 22nd Division... Therefore, I decided that in the next battle, we will have a total of two combat targets..." Pointing to the map in front of him,
Liu Hua continued...
"The first combat target is the logistics base of the Japs... One hundred thousand Japanese puppet troops, the amount of ammunition and food they consume in a day is absolutely an astronomical figure. Therefore, as long as we destroy their logistics base, these one hundred thousand
The enemy who is short of food and ammunition will inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, we must first destroy their logistics base and keep the various strategic materials hoarded by the little devils in the logistics base for our own use..."
"As for the second strategic target, it is these two places. According to the map, the Japanese army stationed a brigade of Kwantung Army troops and a Manchurian Army integrated division in the Xiaolonggang area, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people. In addition,
A total of one infantry regiment and one division of Manchurian troops were stationed in Guzi Temple, with a total strength of more than 7,000 people... And the Japanese troops stationed in these three places, the logistics base, Xiaolonggang and Guzi Temple, all belonged to the Japanese Army.
The 22nd Division. We destroyed their division headquarters, and then it was their troops’ turn..."
"I believe that without unified command, the enemy will definitely fall into panic. More importantly, the complex terrain of these two places is very conducive to our attack. At the same time, as long as we can completely annihilate the defenders in both places,
With the army, we can achieve our set strategic goals and ultimately disintegrate the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression..." Liu Hua introduced one by one.
"I think it is possible. The terrain in these two places is complex. More importantly, these are two isolated armies. We are fully capable of resolving the battle before their reinforcements arrive... However, Commander, the Japanese army's logistics base is at
Where?" Yang Jingyu asked...
"This, Lao Yang, we have figured out for a long time... Through the interrogation of the two captured Manchurian Army division commanders, we learned that during the half-year battle, all the ammunition and supplies they needed were shipped from Baishan County. According to
According to their account, a large amount of combat materials have been hoarded throughout Baishan County. The garrison strength is about an infantry regiment, totaling more than 4,000 people..." Liu Hua pointed to Baishan County south of Mengshan Mountain and said...
"Attack the county seat? Commander, do we have the ability?" Yang Jingyu once again showed a look of doubt on his face...
"Of course we have the ability, Lao Yang, but don't forget, we now have 18 mountain field guns in our hands, and as for mortars, there are even more. What's more important is that we also have elite
Special Operations Brigade... I believe that with the assistance of the Special Operations Brigade, there will be no problem in capturing Baishan County. However, there is a problem that needs to be solved by the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and that is the transportation. How can we talk about the large number of military personnel in Baishan County?
Bring the supplies back..." Liu Hua replied confidently...
"Leave this to our Anti-Japanese Alliance... The commander just said that the Mengshan area is the foundation of our Anti-Japanese Alliance. Here, we can find tens of thousands of people to help us carry these supplies. There will be absolutely no problems..."
Yang Jingyu also answered confidently...
"Okay, when the time comes, we will divide our troops into two groups. I will take the advance detachment and make a surprise attack on the Japanese logistics base in Baishan County. Lao Yang, immediately organize the masses to assemble in Baishan County. The more the better, after we capture the entire county
, start moving immediately. Try to move all the weapons hoarded by the Japanese army in the county back to the base area, without leaving even a single shot or bullet for the little devils..." Liu Hua ordered...
"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission..." Yang Jingyu replied...
"Comrades, this is the first big deal between our two armies after they join forces, and it is also the one that will cost the little devil's life. Therefore, I hope you can continue to work hard and fight this battle well. Tell me if you have the confidence to take the
"Xiabaishan County..." Liu Hua glanced at the commanders at all levels in the conference room and said...
"Yes..." a roar sounded in the conference room... Every commander was gearing up, looking forward to the battle...
"Very good, after the meeting, everyone has a good rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning... Lao Yang, we can keep in touch with each other through the radio at any time... The meeting is over..." In this way, it was a meeting related to the life and death of the advance detachment and the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
It ended like this... Through the convening of the meeting, every commander of the Anti-League League deeply remembered their young commander Liu Hua... At the same time, it also confirmed that in the next period of time, the Anti-League troops would
