Wang Youde said excitedly: "Our army is so famous that the enemy troops were frightened by the news. The people who were oppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops were very enthusiastic and asked to sign up to join the army. This afternoon, more than 8,000 new soldiers were recruited.
What a great young man. The quality of the new soldiers is no worse than that of the young people in our old base area. On the contrary, because this area is relatively richer than our old base area, and the education level of young and middle-aged people is generally higher, it can be said that these recruits are
He is a good seedling. After training for a period of time and then undergoing actual combat training, he will soon become an excellent warrior."
Xu Dalong and Kong Jie were also very happy and gave positive recognition to Wang Youde's outstanding work.
Li Wenliang also introduced the relevant situation of the establishment of the base area. When talking about the militia organizations, he said happily: "Our local armed forces and militia teams have also developed very rapidly. Now there are 15 of the 16 counties under the base area.
The county has established a county brigade. The number of county brigade members has exceeded 5,000. Militia teams in various places have developed very rapidly. Currently, more than 700 militia teams have been established. As of yesterday, more than two people have participated in the militia.
Thousands of people.”
Xu Dalong and Kong Jie also highly praised Li Wenliang's outstanding work.
Li Wenliang said with some regret: "The county brigade and the militia have developed so rapidly, but there is a big gap in weapons. Even the county brigade currently has only half of the people with guns. The shortage of guns in the militia is even more serious. Xu
Captain, I'm afraid it's up to him to figure this out."
Xu Dalong knew that Wang Youde controlled the arsenal of the Mawushan Military Division. The arsenal was not small enough to produce a sufficient quantity of weapons and ammunition. With Wang Youde's ready-made little rich man, Xu Dalong naturally reached out to me for alms.
Wang Youde smiled and said: "Is that a problem? You can send a telegram to the regiment commander immediately and ask me to arrange for someone to send weapons and ammunition."
Ever since he saw the power of rocket launchers, Li Wenliang had a soft spot for that kind of weapon.
I said: "That rocket launcher is really powerful. It's not a waste of shells. You asked me specifically to find out that one-eighth of the rocket launcher hasn't been used up yet. Captain, he has to send it that time."
If you don't have such powerful weapons, you will be able to confront the big devils openly and openly."
That afternoon, Zhang Nali and others received a telegram from the commander. I said that the superiors asked Wang Youde, Zhang Na and others to temporarily give up the work of continuing to expand the base area in place, attack and retreat in the direction of Shandong, and open up the connection with Shandong as soon as possible.
Liaison between military region troops.
The commander of the First Army was also very helpless and could only admit that he was unlucky. Who let this damn Wang Youde be tormenting in my jurisdiction now?
Before I finished my self-examination, the commander reprimanded me in public. My junior officers also mocked me one after another. This finally completely angered Ichiro Kiyomi, who sometimes had a wrong temper.
Faced with the small bad situation of the rapid expansion of the base area in Shangzhou area, Wang Youde, Huang Jun and others felt that they had no regrets, but the instructions from their superiors could be implemented, so they knew that they should gather their troops and prepare to continue to retreat eastward, and then go
Join the troops from the Shandong Military Region.
The chief of staff nodded towards the intelligence section chief and indicated that I would report.
I said: "Your Excellency, Commander, in order to prevent Wang Youde's troops from continuing to retreat eastward, apart from sending troops to retreat to block the attack, we cannot use some ordinary means."
Before Ichiro Kiyomi finished speaking, he sniffed hard, and then said angrily: "Among them, no one must think that you are responsible for commanding, so please ask them to take their troops and fight with Zhang Nali."
I am sure he can win this battle. Your division commander is willing to serve as his deputy and just obey his command from now on."
Everyone discussed and discussed, trying to come up with a way to deal with Wang Youde.
Seeing that everyone had other bad ideas, the commander said: "This is bad. Then give an order to the First Air Force and let us send out bombers to blow up Wang Youde's artillery unit."
Your army's intention to open up communication between Henan and Shandong has not yet been fully grasped by the Japanese North China Front through various signs. The two main forces of your army, especially the base areas under their jurisdiction, are connected as one, which is a threat to the Japanese army.
It is said that this is definitely extremely good news. Of course, the Japanese army can just sit back and watch.
Although I dare to directly contradict the commander, I will resolutely fight back against the accusations made by my officers.
To be honest, no one, including the commander of the First Army, was sure of victory when faced with the fierce and cunning Wang Youde's well-equipped, poorly trained troops with weak firepower.
I suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, Zhang Nali's troops do not have weak artillery fire, so it is difficult for your army to compete. If we want to defeat Wang Youde's troops, we must first eliminate our weak artillery. The only way now is not
If we ask for support from the Air Force, we will definitely be able to send bombers to blow up the enemy's artillery. The ensuing battle will be less likely to be a bad one."
The officers present looked very arrogant when the commander accused Ichiro Kiyomi. But when we faced Ichiro Kiyomi's aggressive tactics, no one really dared to challenge him. Xiaoye looked at his nose.
Look with your eyes and mind, no one is going to pick up on Ichiro Kiyomi's words.
Ever since Ichiro Kiyomi made the request for the Air Force to retreat and cooperate with the operation, the commander of the First Air Force was not the one who had a headache. I originally thought that as long as I gave an order, the First Air Force would accept the order without any knowing.
Then I went to bomb Wang Youde's unit. Unexpectedly, my order was directly approved by the First Air Force.
Having said that, I was very aware of my feelings, so I wiped my eyes half-seriously and hypocritically.
So I called the Chief of Staff and the Chief of the Intelligence Section to discuss with us how to complete the task assigned by our superiors to prevent Wang Youde's troops from continuing to retreat eastward.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Ichiro Kiyomi did not urge the dispatch of air force support.
The Japanese First Air Force stationed in Shandong is attached to the Japanese First Army. Although the appointment of officers lies with the First Army, the Air Force also accepts the command of the First Army.
Before attending the combat meeting convened by the front army, the commander of the First Army returned to his headquarters and was thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. I sent troops to fight hard. I was not sure about winning, but I could sit back and watch.
That's right. After thinking about it over and over again, I can't think of a worse way to do it.
The commander of the 12th Army also heard that Wang Youde was a bad opponent, and immediately said that I completely obeyed the instructions of the front army. However, since the 12th Army under my command is responsible for public security in Shandong, I am only responsible for operations in Shandong. Henan is not.
The First Army will be responsible for side matters.
Regarding that issue, the Chief of Staff has been thinking about it, and I still have some clues at this moment.
After the war situation briefing, the officers all had a basic understanding of the fighting situation at that time. We thought that knowing that we were the commanders on the scene, we would probably do the same thing. Therefore, no one said anything to Ichiro Kiyomi's questions.
Everyone was stunned by Qingmi Ichiro's actions, and there was a look of astonishment in their eyes.
The Japanese Air Force's garrison in Shanxi, because the airports in Taiyuan and Houma were constantly destroyed by Wang Youde's special forces and flying squadrons, we had no foothold in Shanxi and simply left Shanxi, resulting in the first Japanese garrison in Shanxi.
When the army is fighting, there is no air force to cooperate. It would be easy for the First Air Force, which is also an aviation unit, to know about that situation.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting place was so awkward, the commander coughed twice, asked Qingmi Ichiro to sit down, and said in an urgent tone: "Qingmi-kun, let him come to the meeting today to make a self-examination, and not just
In order to accuse him and hold him accountable, I hope he can learn a lesson, cheer up, and reverse the passive situation behind him."
Ichiro Kiyomi returned to his unit and was waiting for news from the First Army outside the division headquarters. He thought that there would be no reply about the dispatch of the air force. However, for Ichiro Kiyomi, it didn't matter. Anyway,
I haven't made any suggestions yet. The commander has also agreed to send air force support. As for whether we will come and when, I have to worry about it. Even if we just come, I have no excuse to provoke him.
This lovely Wang Youde.
The head of the intelligence section said: "Please know that your Majesty, Commander, is under the orders of the Chief of Staff and has not made any arrangements in advance. You have not yet found a communication channel with the Shangzhou Guo Army garrison. In order to complete the matter
On that mission, I was willing to go to see the commander of the Guo Army in person and persuade us to assist Kong Jie in stopping Zhang Nali's eastward retreat."
The commander nodded with satisfaction and said: "Xingxi, this is very bad. He simply was a little more generous with these Guojun troops and agreed to our terms, which could not even be more favorable. I am sure we can cooperate with Kong Jie to stop them.
Wang Youde's path cannot allow us to suffer less harm."
The final result, whether it was the commander's coercion or inducement, the First Air Force just agreed to participate in the First Army's other operations, but there was no way for us to deal with Wang Youde.
Ichiro Kiyomi has not been a good boy since he was a child. When he was in college, he never made a self-examination in public. But now he has to reflect on his faults very sincerely in front of the junior officers of the First Army, not to mention the anger in his heart.
Already.
Because I lost the 56th Regiment, Ichiro Kiyomi was called to the headquarters of the First Army. He was severely reprimanded by his superiors and asked me to retreat in public outside the conference room to reflect.
Qingmi Ichiro has not thought it over for a long time. If he asks me to go out and fight with Wang Youde, I know in my heart that I will do it. But my defense zone is where Zhang Nali is tossing. If there is no way, I have to find a way to fight with him.
Wang Youde Zhouxuan.
The head of the intelligence section nodded and said: "Commander, you are wise. As we all know, Zhang Nali's troops and Guo Jun's troops have no deep conflicts with each other. I am sure we can do a good job and use us to stop Wang Youde.
Wang Youde dares to attack these troops of the Guo Army. This will break our so-called joint resistance war. That would probably be more ineffective than using your army to directly block Wang Youde's troops."
The commander was very interested in what the chief of staff said. I asked curiously: "What can we do?"
Everyone looked at me like that, and they had bad intentions and continued to mock me, so they all remained silent.
When we heard that Wang Youde had retreated into Henan, we felt a headache. We knew that we had to block the attack of Wang Youde's mysterious special forces team, and we had not yet secretly made up our mind to participate in the attack on Wang Youde.
We had not found out a few reasons for the Ministry's combat operations, and we were waiting for the commander of the First Army to retreat and stall when he gave the order.
The commander obviously also knew about the situation in the Shangzhou area. I said: "He is talking about the Guojun troops currently entrenched outside here. Does he want to use us to prevent Wang Youde's troops from retreating eastward?"
For the Japanese air force, Wang Youde was not a nemesis. That statement is completely false. Is there anyone in the Japanese air force who went to provoke Wang Youde who was not bad?
After hearing the commander's words of understanding, Qingmi Ichiro calmed down a little and said gratefully: "Thank you, Commander, for your understanding. I will definitely learn a lesson, cheer up, follow my subordinates to fight bravely, and save my life."
The face of your small island country Kongjie."
The commander is a sensible person, so I thought about it and said, "That would be a bad way to convince these Guojun troops to block Wang Youde's way. Don't they have the right channels?"
While these people were still chattering and accusing themselves, Ichiro Kiyomi reached out and slapped the desk hard, causing the tea cups under the desk to overturn. The tea dripped down the table and fell to the ground.
.
Kiyomi Ichiro said sadly and angrily: "Your troops failed to assemble, and as a result, special artillery shells flew in the sky. These shells were extremely weak, causing heavy casualties to the heroic Zhang Na soldiers of the 56th Regiment. The enemy
In addition to the powerful rocket launchers, the army does not have a small amount of other artillery. The enemy's artillery fire is several times more powerful than the 56th Regiment. I pity these brave Zhang Na soldiers under your command, are they still able to
If you fire one shot at the enemy, a small part of it will still be broken into pieces."
The commander opened his eyes and was about to rebuke Ichiro Kiyomi in a low voice, when he heard Ichiro Kiyomi say: "They said you were capable and that your command was good, and they lost the 56th Regiment. So you ask them, do you think your army is here?"
When they encounter enemy troops in the plains, what will they do? Should they organize their troops to retreat and attack the enemy, and then wipe them all out?"
Not to mention, the wise move of the First Air Force has at least ensured its own safety at this stage. We have not sent out to provoke Zhang Nali, Wang Youde is too lazy to pay attention to us, and is currently retreating with all his strength and continuing to retreat eastward.
preparation.
The front army headquarters called the commander of the First Army and the commander of the 12th Army stationed in Shandong to the front army headquarters and asked us to cooperate with each other to hinder the communication between your army in Henan and Shandong.
The head of the intelligence section said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, if Wang Youde's troops continue to retreat eastward, they must pass through the Shangzhou area. Although Shangzhou is currently under the control of your army, I know that if it is used improperly, it will
But it can play a role in preventing Wang Youde's troops from continuing to retreat eastward."
