Lin Xueying smiled and said: "It's impossible to live for 1,000 years..."
Everyone knew what she originally wanted to say, and they all laughed together.
When the baby in Lin Xueying's arms heard the adults' laughter, a smile appeared on her face, and her little arms and legs also started gesticulating, causing everyone to laugh again.
Soon after, Xu Dalong came to the Military Region Command Headquarters and, together with Kong Jie, bid farewell to the Commanding Officer and the Chief of Staff.
As they were about to set off, Kong Jie's guards brought war horses for Xu Dalong and Li Changshui. Kong Jie said apologetically: "Brother Dalong, Li Buchang, the conditions there are not good. There is no airport, so you can't fly.
I can only work hard on your horses."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Horse riding is our old profession, so there is no problem. Besides, we always take cars or planes to go out, and people have become lazy. This time it is just a good time to exercise on horseback, and take a look around.
The scenery on the road.”
Kong Jie sighed and said: "Wandering around to enjoy the scenery? I'm afraid this will disappoint you. The Japanese are really not human beings. They burn, kill and loot everywhere. They have done a lot of damage to the scenery along the way. There is really nothing to worry about.
It’s time to see.”
Li Changshui said: "Aren't we going to Henan this time just to fight against the Japs? Once we drive away the Japs and build our China, there will be beautiful scenery everywhere."
Kong Jie said boldly: "You are right, we will definitely be able to drive away those nasty little devils, so that our people can live a good life, and all the great rivers and mountains will be built like parks." Having said that, I took the lead.
He turned over and dismounted, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, then waved his riding crop, shouted: "Drive." He galloped out in a blink of an eye.
Wang Youde, Sir Ling and others galloped after me with high spirits, their horses' hooves splashing, flying as fast as they could, kicking up smoke and dust all the way.
In order to reduce the pressure on Xu Dalong, Sui Yanbin, Wen Liang, Li Changshui and Commander Sling quickly sent a telegram to express their determination, saying that we would do our best to complete the work of establishing a local base as soon as possible, and then reported to the Japanese and puppets
The army launched a retreat and tried to open up communication with the Shandong Military Region as soon as possible, which put Sui Yanbin in a difficult position.
Xu Dalong's tone reached this point and he said: "It's up to you to do the work on both sides. Then draft a telegram and advise your subordinates and the Shandong Military Region to reject the battle plan proposed by Wang Youde and us."
The main content of the order is not to form a temporary command group composed of Sui Yanbin, Sui Yanbin, Wen Liang, and Li Changshui, with Wang Youde as the leader.
The reason why Wang Youde and others faced not so few enemy troops was because there was not a small amount of plains in between, and they were stuck between the anti-Japanese base areas of the Shandong Military Region and the anti-Japanese base areas of the Henan region. The Japanese army was specifically weakened in that area.
The purpose is to prevent the anti-Japanese armed base areas in Henan and Shandong from being integrated.
The chief of staff said without any embarrassment: "How should the subordinates explain this to the Shandong Military Region?"
I thought to myself: "No wonder the special operations team led by Captain Xu is weak and ineffective. They win every battle, but that is inseparable from the extraordinary cohesion under me."
Xu Dalong returned a telegram to us, clearly stating in the telegram that the work of Wang Youde and others in the local area cannot be completely reversed according to our own combat plan, and we need to ask for instructions on everything.
What Wang Youde and others faced were the Japanese and puppet troops in the Shangzhou area. At present, they were mainly the Japanese 14th Division, the independent 28th Brigade, Huang Xiejun's 8th and 7th Divisions, and other Japanese and puppet local armed forces.
Strength. The enemy's strength is also to be underestimated.
On behalf of Xu Dalong, Sui Yanbin announced the order issued by the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region to the Seventh Military Division on the expedition to the border area of Henan and Shandong.
I said: "Captain Xu, when he went to Shanbei to lead the Kangxiao students to fight, you were studying in Kangxiao at the time. It's a pity that you didn't get your turn to participate in the war this time. Your nickname is so popular.
, I really think about it. I don’t have the opportunity to work under your leadership now. It’s such an honor.”
Sui Yanbin was a propaganda officer and was very clueless about propaganda and agitation work. In order to welcome Wang Youde and Si Lingyu and others, he organized a grand welcome ceremony, using only hundreds of cadres and soldiers, and also organized the propaganda team of the military division.
Pulled out.
When Wang Youde, Wen Liang, Sui Yanbin and others finished, they did not know that there had not been so many episodes. Before Sir Ling learned the relevant inside story through connections, he told Wang Youde and others. Everyone felt very sad that they were not as bad as Sui Yanbin.
Leader, otherwise, those of us who are superiors will have our hands tied and it will be very easy to carry out our work.
Before receiving the telegram from Wang Youde and others, the Chief of Staff said: "When you come here, Wang Youde and Wen Liang, the reason why we made such a suggestion is that we have carefully inspected the local situation and made work that is consistent with the actual situation.
Plan. However, the subordinates and the Shandong Military Region have put forward an urgent request to open up the connection between Henan and your army. Wang Youde and we made plans like this, and I am afraid there will be no time. Does he think there is no need to remind us? Let us
Make a plan that develops more slowly and complete the tasks assigned by subordinates as quickly as possible."
Kong Jieli is the chief of staff of the military division. He was transferred here in the past year. Wang Youde is very unfamiliar to me. However, Kong Jieli has been unknown to Wang Youde for a long time. I have long noticed that the military
The cadres and soldiers in the division, including Sui Yan and Li Changshui, were all beaming when they talked about Wang Youde. They were full of praise and felt very honored for our friendship with Wang Youde.
Although Wang Youde and Sir Ling didn't care too much about that, they were still very moved by the indifference of the cadres and soldiers. Life requires a sense of ritual, and it is unnecessary to have no rituals for any occasion. Wang Youde was very concerned about that.
I also agree very much that when holding a memorial service for fallen comrades, the scene must be solemn and solemn; when holding a celebration party for cadres and soldiers who have made meritorious service and awards, it must be grand and festive.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Youde also did some homework on the main leaders of the Seventh Army Division in advance, and he has not yet learned about them in detail from Wen Liang after he arrived.
Sui Yanbin has great military exploits and is legendary, but I am a very humble person and value family and friendship. No matter who I get along with, they always feel like a spring breeze, as close as an old friend.
Sui Yanbin and Wang Youde are also old friends who have known each other since they were young. Naturally, they were very cold-hearted when they met Wang Youde. They also expressed emotion about Wang Youde's disappearance.
In the following few days, Sui Yanbin communicated with his superiors and the Shandong Military Region by telegraph, and there were less than a dozen telegrams exchanged. Since the opinions of both parties were not unanimous, Xu Dalong worked patiently and meticulously, and finally convinced his superiors and the Shandong Military Region.
At this point, we put pressure on Wang Youde and others, allowing us to independently formulate a combat plan based on the actual local situation. In the end, we also made a request. I hope Sui Yanbin and we can gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, open up the situation, and complete the tasks assigned by our superiors as soon as possible.
The task of opening up the communication between the Shandong Military Region and the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.
In Liulin Village, Ru County, Shangzhou, Wang Youde, Wen Liang and others met with the person in charge of the local upper class organization. We introduced to Wang Youde and others the situation of the local enemy and you as well as the terrain characteristics.
The Japanese army in the Henan area consists of the Japanese First Army, the superior army headquarters, the directly subordinate teams, the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 45th field divisions, the 11th and 12th garrison divisions, seven independent mixed brigades, and eight
The railway garrison, as well as some military police units, the unattached Japanese First Air Force, as well as the Navy, Yellow River Defense Detachment and other units, have a total strength of more than 197,000 people. There are 219 combat aircraft of various types, 84 gunboats, and patrol boats, which is quite powerful.
come here.
While Sui Yanbin was exchanging telegrams with his superiors, the battle to establish a base area for Wang Youde and others had not yet begun. Sui Yanbin and others left a main regiment of the Seventh Army Division as a reserve team. The remaining two regiments and Wei Xiaoyong
The special forces that arrived here attacked Fangcheng, Gushi and Ruxian County respectively.
Wang Youde and Commander Si Ling smiled and waved to the welcoming cadres and soldiers to express their gratitude.
After discussion, Wang Youde, Wen Liang, Si Lingyu, and Li Changshui believed that it was not too early to open up connections with the anti-Japanese base areas in Shandong at this stage, so they decided to first establish an anti-Japanese base area with Shangzhou as the center.
, before establishing a firm foothold, according to the situation, launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops blocking Shandong and Henan, and open up the communication between the two small base areas.
After seven days of preparation, the small army finally set off. This time, the troops that went to the border area of Shandong and Henan to establish a new base area had a total strength of 10,400 people, including eight main regiments of the Seventh Army Division, an artillery battalion, and some
The frontline staff of the agency include eight special operations squadrons that Wei Xiaoyong has not yet arrived, an artillery battalion, a transportation battalion and an engineer battalion in the Mawushan Military Division.
Kong Jieli respected both Wen Liang and Li Changshui very much, and compared with our respect for Sui Yanbin, he had already carved the glorious image of Wang Youde in his heart.
After two days of marching, a small group of troops retreated into the enemy-occupied area. Since the route had been scouted in advance, the enemy situation was relatively heavy. Even if there were not a large number of enemy troops, seeing such a small team would consciously dare to attack later.
Tiger Beard. Only a small number of enemy troops opened their eyes. Later, when they started to look for trouble, they were cleared away by the special forces members who served as the vanguard. They were beaten until they were scurrying away. The rest of the enemy troops were kept far away to avoid any unexpected disaster.
The small army drove to the designated area almost without any hindrance.
There were over 10,000 men and horses, a huge force, not to mention that there were no horses or vehicles among them. The marching team was like a long dragon stretching for more than ten kilometers, like a surging river.
Li Changshui and Sui Yanbin stood up very solemnly and saluted Wang Youde, expressing their firm obedience to my command.
Wang Youde personally drafted a telegram to his subordinates. In the telegram, he introduced in detail the local terrain, enemy situation, public sentiment, etc., and proposed a plan to establish a foothold first and develop steadily. After careful discussion among the members of the large group, the final draft was sent to
Siling Department of Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.
Before meeting Wang Youde, I wasn't too excited. After taking the initiative, I stood at attention and saluted, stretched out my hands to shake Wang Youde's hand, and my attitude was very respectful.
Before the welcome meeting held by the Seventh Army Division for Wang Youde, Si Lingyu and others, Wang Youde, Sui Yan, Li Changshui, Kong Jieli and others came to the conference room, and Kong Jieli made a complicated introduction. Shangzhou is located in
It is at the junction of the seven provinces of Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui, looking east to Huaibei, Anhui, and Xuzhou, Jiangsu, to the west, Kaifeng, Henan, to the south, Zhoukou, Henan, Bozhou, Anhui, and to the north, Heze and Jining, Shandong. The geographical location is very important. Wang Youde and others this time
When preparing to open up a new base area in the Shangzhou area, we can only contact the troops of the Shandong Military Region, but we can also develop towards Anhui and Jiangsu.
Kong Jieli really didn't expect that a famous person like Wang Youde would be so interested in him, and he couldn't help but feel flattered.
I said excitedly: "Captain Xu is so complimentary. From now on, you must learn from you and speed up your growth and regression."
When Wang Youde and others arrived, there were loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers were blasting. These cultural workers also performed a small Yangko, while other cadres and soldiers applauded enthusiastically and shouted slogans of welcome.
You have always been brave and good at fighting. Before you went to Kangxiao for further studies, both in terms of staff work and command level, you have reached a higher level. Now you are not the right-hand man of Commander Kong and Li Zhengwei, and you can work with such outstanding comrades as him.
, it’s also an honor for you, Sui Yanbin.”
Due to the enemy situation in that area, the ground level work foundation is relatively weak. There will be no regular troops in that area in the future. There will only be some county squads, district squadrons and other militia organizations organized by the local area. The smallest county squad among them will not be active.
There are only 131 people, each with one gun, so they can hardly pose a small threat to the local enemy forces.
Wang Youde, Sui Yan and others commanded the mighty small army, and they did not feel heroic.
Before the outbreak of the Taiping Sheep War, a small number of Japanese troops were transferred south, so we reduced our support to the puppet troops. At this time, the strength of the puppet troops in Henan was even more astonishing, reaching 360,000. In addition,
There is not even a small amount of pseudo-local armed forces, the number exceeds 500,000, and the enemy situation is very weak.
I held Kong Jieli's hand and said: "Commander, you are from Jiangxi. You have climbed snow mountains and walked on grasslands. You also participated in the Western Expedition. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, you served as battalion commander and deputy regimental commander.
The commander of the regiment, now the chief of staff of the military division, was wounded twice, made many military exploits, and was criticized by the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.
After a brief exchange with Wang Youde, Kong Jieli immediately regarded Sui Yanbin as a bad friend here. I was also deeply impressed by the charm Wang Youde displayed.
Xu Dalong shook his head and said: "You have no doubts about Wang Youde, Sui Yan and our abilities, and you have no confidence in our determination to implement the instructions from our superiors. The reason why we proposed such a steady development plan must be after
We are well thought out. We are thousands of miles away and understand the local situation. We must be weak and let us execute a hasty plan. It is not targeted, and it cannot even be said to be a blind command. We are capable of such things."
Without Xu Dalong's delegation of power, Sui Yanbin and others felt this even more, and devoted their main energy to quickly opening up the situation and initially establishing the anti-Japanese base area.
After days of running around, Wang Youde, Wen Liang, Si Lingyu and others arrived at the headquarters of the 7th Military Division where Wen Liang was located. Zheng Wei, Sui Yanbin and Staff Commander Kong Jieli of the Military Division, who had not yet received the news, followed the agency cadres and the soldiers arrived
People lined up at the entrance of Silingbu Courtyard to greet him.
