"Oh? Ask someone to send them directly to the division headquarters!" Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows and keenly captured the unusual information. It must be Boss Han's old subordinates who came to ask for directions! About ten minutes later, a military vehicle came
He stopped at the gate of the division headquarters! At first glance, Jiang Qiang was indeed an old friend. He immediately walked up with a smile and said: "Haha, Commander Chen, what kind of wind has brought you here! Come on, come on.
, please come inside!" "Haha, Chief of Staff Jiang, we meet again!"
Chen Yannian stretched out his hands with a smile on his face, Jiang Qiang shook them tightly and said, "I've taken the liberty to come to visit you this time. If you have any trouble, please ask Chief Jiang for help!" "Haha, we are all brothers. Let's see if you can tell me this.
It’s been half a year since we last saw each other. Brother, I miss Brigadier Yun, Commander Li, and all the friendly army brothers very much! Today, Captain Chen is here in person, and I must let my brothers treat me well as a landlord!
"
Jiang Qiang smiled and led Chen Yannian and others to the reception room of the division headquarters, chatting and laughing. "Thank you, Chief of Staff Jiang, for your hospitality! I am really flattered!" After taking a seat, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
Chen Yannian got straight to the point and sighed softly: "Alas! As the saying goes, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. This time you come here really out of necessity!" Jiang Qiang knowingly asked: "Captain Chen sighed so long and short, there must be something difficult to solve.
Are you worried? We are all brothers. If Commander Chen has any trouble, just ask!" "Then thank Chief of Staff Guo Jiang in advance!"
After Chen Yannian clasped his hands and thanked him sincerely, he returned to the topic and said: "Chief of Staff Jiang, you should know that Governor Han was escorted to Wuhan by Commissar Chiang, right?" Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "Yes, I do know! For this matter
I have sent telegrams to the commander of the theater many times, Chief Li, asking him to intercede for Governor Han! But now, I have not received a definite reply!" Chen Yannian said: "Hey, since Governor Han was escorted to Wuhan with Dao, we
Everyone in the Third Route Army began to panic!
It has been half a month now, and there is still no news about Governor Han, but all kinds of rumors are spreading. Brothers, it is really like a year!" Jiang Qiang's expression dimmed, and he nodded: "It's completely understandable! Chairman of the Committee this time
I have made up my mind, Governor Han may be in trouble!" Chen Yannian sighed: "Who says otherwise? If Governor Han really has three strengths and two weaknesses, our Third Route Army may not know what will happen!"
Jiang Qiang immediately asked: "Captain Chen, we are all brothers, let's open the skylight and speak openly! I want to know what you think of Governor Han's arrest, and what are your plans now?" "This!
"Chen Yannian did not expect Jiang Qiang to speak so directly, and many of the prepared remarks were completely useless! Chen Yannian pondered for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Chief of Staff Jiang is quick to speak, so I am covering up!
Governor Han retreated without a fight, abandoned Jinan without firing a shot, and later abandoned Tai'an, Laiwu, and the canal defense line one after another! To be honest, most of our brothers are very heartbroken and angry about this, and everyone is very angry.
Emotion! When the country is facing a crisis, shouldn’t we soldiers stand up and defend our country? At this critical moment, we run away from the battle and even set up troops to rob and torture the people. Is this still what humans do? Especially when we later
I heard that the Japs were burning, killing and looting all the way, causing many inhumane massacres in Shandong! We were all very sad and angry, and many brothers even wanted to do the opposite and pull out a team to kill the Japs!"
Jiang Qiang said with emotion: "This is completely understandable! Governor Han was wise and confused for a moment. The little devils have already arrived at the door of his house. He still wanted to preserve his strength, so that he ended up in this situation! As the saying goes, there must be a reason.
There are results, otherwise the Chairman would not have dared to use such blatant tactics to detain Governor Han to Wuhan for trial!" Chen Yannian said with a face of shame: "Yes, this is the fundamental reason why we can only act in a hurry! We are in the wrong.
!We are indebted to the Shandong folks!"
As a member of the Third Route Army, Chen Yannian naturally did not want to see his big boss prosecuted by military law and then the Third Route Army disintegrated. However, standing on the basis of national justice, he did despise Han Fuju's actions! Chen Yannian revealed his true feelings, and Yang Fan secretly nodded.
He nodded, patted Chen Yannian on the shoulder and said: "Commander Chen, don't be sad! As long as I am here, the anti-Japanese banner of Shandong will not fall."
Chen Yannian nodded and said: "I absolutely believe that Chief of Staff Jiang has this ability! Therefore, I am here to throw stones and ask for directions for my brothers! Now that our Third Route Army is in dire straits, our brigade sent me to discuss with Chief of Staff Jiang.
, if something happens, can you accept our 243rd brigade?" "Haha, I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!"
Jiang Qiang immediately nodded and laughed, holding Chen Yannian's hand with both hands and saying: "The door of our Asian Liberation Army will always be open to the brothers of the 243rd Brigade. As long as you are willing to come, I, Jiang Qiang, will never treat my brothers badly!" General Han Xin, the more soldiers, the better.
, how could Jiang Qiang refuse these brother troops to come and join him? "Haha, then it's settled!"
Chen Yannian looked excited. In fact, they had had such an idea as early as the Texas Defense War. However, at that time, they were both in the Third Route Army and under the jurisdiction of the Korean boss. There was no way to directly change jobs! But today is different from the past.
Boss Han is already a prisoner and may be executed by the Chairman at any time. Naturally, their 243rd Brigade can justifiably come to Jiang Qiang!
In the original history, after Han Fuju was executed, Sun Tongxuan, commander of the 12th Army, became the commander of the Third Army, and Cao Fulin, commander of the 55th Army, became the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The 56th Army was removed because its commander Gu Liangmin was Han Fuju's relative, and the 22nd Division belonged to it.
It returned to the 12th Army, and the 74th Division returned to the 55th Army. "I am very happy to fight side by side with the brothers of the 243rd Brigade again! On behalf of the 80,000 Asian Liberation Army brothers, I welcome you!"
Jiang Qiang was naturally grinning from ear to ear. This wave of operations directly absorbed six to seven thousand veterans. After a few months of hard training, they can become a tiger and wolf army! Next, Jiang Qiang began to discuss the details of the 243rd Brigade.
Come here to defect, after all, the Japanese army is now wreaking havoc in Shandong!
And the 243rd Brigade is more than 300 kilometers away. Even if they move forward without any hindrance, it will still take three or four days to reach Gaomi! After careful discussion, Jiang Qiang decided to use the ant method of moving.
The helicopter brigade was used to transport troops directly. For this reason, Jiang Qiang spent a lot of money to purchase 6 transport helicopters from Shanghai! "What? Chief of Staff Jiang, you mean to use planes to transport troops directly? A round trip only takes 2 hours.
And you can transport 1,300 people in one trip? Chief of Staff Jiang, do you have planes?"
After hearing Jiang Qiang's plan, Chen Yannian was immediately dumbfounded. He couldn't imagine what kind of scene this was! "Haha, Captain Chen, come with me and have a look and you'll know what's going on!" Thoughts direct actions, and they also
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Jiang Qiang immediately stood up and said to Liu Qiang: "Contact Jiao County. If there is no war, let the flying team come back. I will be of great use!"
So far, not only have the Japanese attacking troops in Jiao County stopped their offensive, but they have also been urgently discussing how to deal with the sudden appearance of the helicopter flying brigade. The Japanese attacking troops in Anqiu and Gaomi have also had to suspend their offensive after being repeatedly frustrated and suffering heavy casualties! Now it has been
It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon and there was still an hour or two before dark. According to the usual style of the little devils, night battles are usually not carried out at night! Therefore, this battle will not be fought for a while. Jiang Qiang can use this time to take care of the second battle.
The 243rd Brigade moved back.
The 243rd Brigade is currently stationed in Jinxiang County and has an independent defense area. As long as the organization is well organized, there is no need to worry too much about side problems. "Okay, Master, I'll do it right away!" Liu Qiang immediately took the order and left.
Soon, Jiang Qiang made a special trip to take Chen Yannian to the special operations brigade base. "Oh my god, Chief of Staff Jiang, you have such aircraft and tanks. It's incredible! How did you do it?"
The magnificence and prosperity in Zhaoyuan County were already shocking enough. Now seeing dozens of imposing heavy tanks and helicopters in front of him, Chen Yannian was completely dumbfounded, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes were full of horror.
!"Haha, it's a joke! These are all the things we have accumulated with great difficulty, and we are currently training!"
Jiang Qiang raised his brows proudly, patted Chen Yannian on the shoulder and said: "Captain Chen, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. We'd better start taking action now! If it's convenient, can I send you back to Jinxiang County immediately?"
"Convenient! There is nothing inconvenient! Haha! Mr. Yang, I have never flown on a plane in my life. I never thought that today I can realize my dream!"
Chen Yannian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart was full of shock and joy. He felt that this move was the right one. With such a strong backing, would he need to be afraid in the future? "That's good! Liu Qiang, this
The task is left to you! You have full authority to handle the matter of the brothers from the 243rd Brigade joining our Asian Liberation Army!" Although Jiang Qiang wanted to transport the 243rd Brigade back to Zhaoyuan County in one step and contribute to his Asian Liberation Army, he still needed a bite to eat.
Just eat it in one bite, and you don’t have to do everything yourself!
What's more, as the leader of the Asian Liberation Army, Jiang Qiang must be very strong. If he acts too eagerly, he will be looked down upon! "Promise to complete the task!" Liu Qiang accepted the order happily and was not afraid of the task given by Jiang Qiang.
Many, I am afraid that I will be idle and have nothing to do, because every good thing done represents a heavy credit and resume! In order to keep it secret and not cause panic, Liu Qiang drove a helicopter to a place near Jinxiang County when he was a child.
In the wild.
"Oh my god, what kind of plane is this? It can park directly in the wilderness?" "It's incredible! Chief of Staff Jiang is really a very good person, he makes people's jaws drop every time!" At this time, I received a telegram.
Yun Qichang had been waiting nearby for a long time. When they saw this strange plane landing directly in the field, everyone was dumbfounded!
According to the time calculation, they originally thought that Chen Yannian would come back by car, but they never dreamed that he would make a grand debut in this way! "Brigade seat, this is Liu Qiang, the guard battalion commander of Chief of Staff Jiang, and he is here on behalf of Commander Yang this time.
Let's discuss the reorganization with you!..." Chen Yannian jumped off the helicopter and ran to Yun Qichang in great excitement. He happily recounted the harvest of the trip, his words full of pride! "Brother Liu Qiang, we meet again.
,Haha! Nice to meet you!"
Yun Qichang quickly stretched out his hands and shook hands with Liu Qiang warmly to say hello. After a while of greetings, he got to the point. "What? Is it really possible to transport all of us directly to Zhaoyuan County by plane? How is this possible?
!" After listening carefully to Liu Qiang's words, Yun Qichang was dumbfounded again, feeling that his brain was completely exhausted!
Chen Yannian nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Traveler, I have seen these with my own eyes, and they can never be faked! Without further delay, Mr. Traveler, please order the brothers to gather here in batches as soon as possible!" "Damn it,
Rather than being a deserter and being scolded by others, or being recruited as cannon fodder! It's better to join one's own brothers to fight against the Japs! Brigadier, please give the order!" At this time, Zhao Tingbi, who was standing aside, grabbed his military cap. He had really had enough these days.
Bird's breath, I have long thought that I could fight the Japanese with real swords and guns in another place! "Well, let's do it! Brother Liu Qiang, please contact your army's flying brigade immediately, and I will assemble the troops right away!" Yun Qichang happily patted him.
Got off the board.
"Okay! Our teachers have always been looking forward to Brigadier Neng Yun fighting side by side with all the brothers!" Liu Qiang nodded happily, and then sent the news back to Zhaoyuan as quickly as possible. After receiving the exact news, Liu Qiang nodded happily.
, the intensive troop relocation project was officially launched, and 21 transport helicopters arrived in Jinxiang County in less than an hour. After more than ten hours of continuous transportation, it was not until about five o'clock the next morning that all the officers and soldiers of the 243rd Brigade were transported back
to Zhaoyuan County. "What? The 243rd Brigade is missing?"
It was not until ten o'clock in the morning on February 20 that the commander of the 81st Division Zhan Shutang received the news that all members of the 243rd Brigade were missing and no one could be seen! Zhan Shutang was immediately confused. Now the Third Group Army is almost complete.
After catching the street rats, they retreated to several small counties close to the border of Henan. It was no longer possible to retreat further! "Is it possible that they went to fight the Japanese? Why are these guys so restless? Send them a telegram immediately and ask them to
They must withdraw and wait for orders from the summit!"
After thinking about it, Zhan Shutang could only think of one possibility, that is, Yun Qichang led his troops to fight for the Japanese devils, because now the Third Army was filled with resentment! "What? How could such a thing happen?
?Immediately pass on the order, all units should strengthen their precautions, and this kind of thing must not happen again!" Sun Tongxuan, commander of the 12th Army, quickly got the news, and the whole person was extremely angry. This was the first time in so many years that the entire army had disobeyed.
Order to escape!
But they didn’t know that all members of the 243rd Brigade had arrived in Zhaoyuan County, more than 300 kilometers away. A group of people were enjoying the delicious food and spicy food. They were so happy! Jiang Qiang was with Yun Qichang, Chen Yannian, Zhao Tingbi and others.
After a long talk, a decision was made on the spot to retain the current staffing of the 243rd Brigade, but to change its name to the 5th Brigade of the Asian Liberation Army! If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Yang Fan also decided to let the 5th Brigade, which has prospered, be trained for a month.
The training requires not only a complete change of uniforms, but also new training subjects! Although the 243rd Brigade's combat effectiveness is not bad, it has to be compared with whom!
The Asian People's Liberation Army's standard equipment, military technology and combat concepts are shortcomings that Yun Qichang and other old-style officers have never been exposed to. These subjects must be made up for! "Brother Jiang, are you free now? We have a distinguished guest at home.
!" As soon as Jiang Qiang said goodbye to Yun Qichang and others walked out of the military camp, Yu Yanluo called!
"Okay! I'll be back soon!" Jiang Qiang immediately nodded and replied, looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Since Yu Yanluo has spoken, no matter who is visiting, he has to go and socialize. "Brother Jiang, you are so
You'll be back soon!" After walking out of the military camp, Jiang Qiang took the car directly back to where he lived. As soon as he parked the car, Yu Yanluo came up to him with a smile on his face. Jiang Qiang smiled and joked: "Miss Yu, what?
Does this make you so happy?"
Yu Yanluo smiled and said: "I am mainly happy for Brother Jiang. With the addition of a powerful force, the strength of our Asian People's Liberation Army will definitely increase a lot! Congratulations to Brother Jiang, congratulations to Brother Jiang!" Who would still dislike soldiers these days?
How many generals are there? Especially now that Jiaodong is under a comprehensive siege by the Japanese army, it is the time to recruit people! "Haha, this is called raising a recruiting flag, and you will have people who can feed you!"
Jiang Qiang smiled proudly, and then asked: "Didn't you say that a distinguished guest came to your door?" Jiang Qiang nodded solemnly and said: "Wang Zhijun, the military liaison representative of the Yan'an regime in Zhaoyuan, came to visit you and said that he had something important to discuss with you.
Discuss! He is waiting for you in the living room!" "Oh, I understand! You go do other things first, leave this matter to me!" Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked quickly to the living room.
After entering the room, Jiang Qiang smiled apologetically at Wang Zhijun and said: "Representative Wang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long! Things have been complicated recently and I really have no time to spare!" Wang Zhijun quickly stood up and clasped his fists with his hands and said: "What are you talking about! Chief of Staff Jiang
I have a lot of things to do on a daily basis and shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country during the Anti-Japanese War. I am taking the liberty to pay you a visit. If I have any trouble, please forgive me!" "Haha, Representative Wang is very polite! Please take a seat!"
Jiang Qiang waved his hand, and after sitting down, he asked straight to the point: "Representative Wang, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?" So far, Jiang Qiang has not officially joined the Yan'an regime, but he has always given care to the Yan'an regime.
But there were quite a few, transporting a large amount of advanced radio stations, telescopes, weapons and equipment, first-aid medicines and other war supplies! Therefore, the Red Party regime has a very good impression of Jiang Qiang and has long listed him as a key research target!
Wang Zhijun quickly replied seriously: "That's right! Recently, the Japanese army launched a crazy attack on your army's defense area, causing heavy casualties and military pressure to your army! Our army successively regained Fei County and Lanling County, and established an anti-Japanese defense system behind enemy lines.
In the base area, although the armed forces are still very weak, our army can coordinate and contain the Japanese attacking troops at any time!..." In July 1937, part of the main force of the Eighth Route Army went to Shandong. Before that, anti-Japanese armed forces had broken out in more than ten areas of Shandong.
The uprising was led by the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China with Li Yu as secretary.
In late September, Xiao Hua, deputy director of the Political Department of the 115th Division, arrived in Leling, established the Military and Political Committee of the Hebei-Shandong Border Region, and organized more than 10,000 local armed forces into the Eastward Anti-Japanese Advance Column of the Eighth Route Army. By the end of the year, the
The plain guerrilla base areas centered on Ningjin and Leling. Armed forces from all over the country were organized into the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army. Zhang Jingwu was the commander-in-chief, Li Yu was the political commissar, and Jiang Hua was the director of the political department. It must be said that the Red Party regime was very good at conducting the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines.
, not only greatly suppressed and consumed the effective strength of the Japanese army, but also effectively cooperated with friendly forces in operations.
During the eight years of arduous war of resistance, the red regime continued to expand the war of resistance behind enemy lines and gradually grew up bit by bit! "Haha, thank you so much for your generous help! I accept this sentiment!" Jiang Qiangpo
Moved, he nodded and smiled at Wang Zhijun, and then declined politely: "Your army is also in a very bad situation now. The Japanese army is currently too powerful to confront them head-on!
Although our defense area has been besieged by two divisions of the Japanese army, we can still withstand it for now! Please protect yourself first, and when the time is right in the future, we can unite together and drive the little Japs out of Shandong!" Just like that!
Wang Zhijun said that at this stage, the red regime's base areas behind enemy lines are still very weak. It is okay to engage in guerrilla warfare, but if they fight head-on with the Japanese elite divisions, it is completely equivalent to an egg hitting a rock! So Jiang Qiang will never ask them to cooperate now.
To support them, it would be very helpful if they can have such a positive attitude!
Wang Zhijun solemnly said: "Chief of Staff Jiang has shown great kindness and deep friendship to us. Our army will not sit back and watch your army fight alone! If necessary, please ask Chief of Staff Jiang to speak up. No matter how great the sacrifice is, we will not hesitate to do so."
"Thank you very much! Please rest assured, your army. Although the Japanese army is gathering heavily, our Asian Liberation Army is not a soft persimmon! If it is really a matter of life and death, I will not be polite to your army! Haha!"
Jiang Qiang quickly clasped his fists, and then said with great pride: "Your army braved hardships and went to the occupied areas to fight the anti-Japanese guerrilla war. It is really admirable. If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to ask!" He reciprocated the favor!
Li, Jiang Qiang made a heavy promise! "Okay! There is no need to divide each other to defend the territory during the war of resistance. Chief of Staff Jiang is a national hero of the tiger generals of the time. I believe that Chief of Staff Jiang will definitely lead the Asian Liberation Army to once again severely inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army, and ultimately win a complete victory!"
Chief of Staff Jiang is busy, so I won't bother you any more!" The goal was achieved, and Wang Zhijun stopped being verbose and stood up to say goodbye in a sensible manner! "Haha, Representative Wang, go slowly! Come visit me often when you have time!" Jiang
Qiang personally sent Wang Zhijun to the gate and waved goodbye.
At this time, Zhuang Taobang came over: "Jiang Qiang, come here, I have something to discuss with you!" Jiang Qiang nodded immediately, and then followed Zhuang Taobang to a study room. Zhuang Tao took out a copy
He handed the telegram to Jiang Qiang and said, "Look at this first!" Jiang Qiang glanced at it and found that it was a telegram from Gu Liangmin. The main message was that Han Fuju was hanging by a thread and only Jiang Qiang could save him. Please ask Jiang
Qiang must lend a helping hand! In addition, the message also mentioned that the Third Army was now facing a critical situation of collapse. After Cao Fulin put on the hat of the former enemy commander-in-chief, he began to exclude Gu Liangmin and coveted his 22nd Division and 74th Division!
After Jiang Qiang put down the message, he pondered for a long time and said: "I am also very embarrassed about this matter! Zhuang Tao, you should stand high and see far. I really want to know what you think I should do?" After thinking about it, Jiang Qiang
Qiang simply passed the blame to Zhuang Tao, because it was a dilemma. No matter what he did now, it would leave people with a scandal, so he might as well listen carefully to Zhuang Tao's thoughts.
