The only one who can be associated with Hexi is Ma Jiajun.
"That's right." Vice Principal Luo nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Ma Jiajun just attacked one of our transportation teams, took away six trucks of military supplies, and killed more than forty of our comrades.
This is unbearable, and the central government decided to launch punitive military operations against the Ma Jiajun."
Xu Rui said excitedly: "It should have been like this a long time ago."
However, Xu Rui still failed to go to Hexi.
Just after the guards left, an urgent telegram was sent to Mr. Zhu's home.
The telegram was sent by the Yellow River Defense Headquarters. Commander Xiao of the River Defense Headquarters reported an emergency to the central government, saying that the Japanese First Army in Shanxi was going to make a big move recently. Not only was the 16th independent mixed brigade stationed in Linfen
Large-scale assembly, the cavalry group stationed in Baotou has also completed its assembly and is preparing to cross the Yellow River and go south.
This sudden situation immediately disrupted the arrangements of the Party Central Committee.
The importance of the war against Japan immediately overshadowed the self-defense counterattack against the Ma Jiajun.
In the final analysis, the conflict with the Ma Jiajun is just an internal conflict. Although the Ma Jiajun is full of malice towards the Eighth Route Army, they are Chinese after all and have made great contributions on the anti-Japanese battlefield. Ma Biao's 1st Cavalry Division was on the battlefield in Henan
They fought very bravely and tenaciously, and severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese devils.
What's more, although the Ma Jiajun is fierce, it cannot threaten Yan'an. Once the Shanxi Japanese army breaks through the Yellow River defense line, it can immediately threaten the survival of Yan'an. Therefore, Chairman Mao, Boss Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou immediately changed their minds and postponed
To punish the Ma Jiajun, first repel the Japanese invasion in Shanxi and then consider other things.
However, such a big matter certainly requires a collective decision.
…
Let’s talk about Xu Rui and Vice Principal Luo later.
They were speechless all the way, and soon they arrived at Mr. Zhu's house in Yangjialing. When they walked into the cave, they found that the smoke inside was so thick that people could not open their eyes. It was difficult to see clearly what was going on inside, and then they discovered that Chairman Mao was...
Boss Zhu, Vice Chairman Zhou and several other people were sitting around the short ones on the pit.
Xu Rui estimated that these big guys were probably members of the Politburo Standing Committee.
It seems that this matter is quite serious and has alarmed the entire Politburo.
There was a map on the low table. By the light of the gas lamp, Xu Rui recognized it at a glance as a map of the Hetao area.
The Hetao area? Xu Rui couldn't help but was slightly stunned. Didn't he say that he was going to the Hexi Corridor to attack the Ma Jiajun? Why are he studying the defense of the Hetao again? Has the plan changed? The little devils in Shanxi are going to launch an attack on the Yellow River defense line? Speaking of which, in San
In the two years from 8 to 1939, the Japs did attack the Yellow River defense line many times.
The atmosphere in the cave seemed very solemn. All the bosses present were frowning, and they did not even notice the arrival of Vice Principal Luo and Xu Rui. This was also the case. In comparison, the threat from the Japanese army in Shanxi was greater than that from the Ma Jiajun.
, among the several big guys present, some even advocated abandoning the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, breaking it into pieces, and fighting guerrilla warfare.
As for the reason, it is that the little devil's fighting power is too strong, so he can only be outwitted, not head-on.
After a while, Vice Chairman Zhou saw Xu Rui and Vice Principal Luo. He immediately stood up and said, "Eldest son Luo, and Comrade Xu Rui, you are here."
Vice Principal Luo quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Xu Rui immediately stood up and saluted the big bosses one by one.
"Comrade Ruiqing and Comrade Xu Rui, are you here?" Chairman Mao greeted Xu Rui with narrowed eyes, then turned to Boss Zhu and said, "Boss, it's up to you to deal with this matter."
"Okay." Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "Comrade Xu Rui, the central government has already made a decision to let you lead the Langya Brigade to the Hexi Corridor to launch a punitive military operation against the Ma Jiajun, but right now
Just now, the River Defense Command sent an urgent telegram, saying that the Japanese army is preparing to launch a large-scale offensive against the Yellow River defense line."
After a slight pause, Mr. Zhu continued: "This time the Japanese army invested more troops, but the troops that Yan'an can deploy are very limited, especially the Japanese cavalry group in the direction of Baotou. It is even more difficult to implement a blockade, because Yan'an
Now there is only one special agent cavalry company in total."
Hearing this, Xu Rui understood that the central government planned to transfer their Langya Brigade to Hetao.
Boss Zhu asked again: "Just one question now, how is your Langya team's riding skills?"
If you want to send the Langya Brigade to deal with the Japanese cavalry, you naturally have to find out whether the Langya Brigade's riding skills are acceptable.
Xu Rui laughed and said: "Boss, let me tell you this, our Langya Brigade is not a cavalry. If we simply compete in riding skills, we will definitely not be the opponent of the cavalry. But when it comes to fighting on horseback, the most powerful in the world
The cavalry may not be the opponent of our Langya Brigade, let alone the Japanese cavalry."
What Xu Rui said is basically true. The development of a cavalry's riding skills requires a basic foundation.
The riding skills of many cavalrymen are developed slowly over many years of training with war horses. Only when people and horses are very familiar with each other, and with certain skills, can they become an excellent cavalryman. Although the Wolf Fang Brigade also briefly
I have trained in riding skills, but I don’t have my own war horse, so there is no comprehensive training, so it is impossible to grow into an excellent cavalryman.
But in a cavalry fight, good riding skills will never guarantee victory, because in the final analysis, riding skills are only the foundation. If you want to kill the enemy, you have to rely on killing skills. To give a simple example, the riding skills of European knights in the Middle Ages may not be better than those of the Mongols.
Poor, but they were completely beaten by the Mongolian light cavalry on the battlefield. The key is that the Mongolian cavalry can shoot from horseback.
At that time, the mounted archery of the Mongolian cavalry was the best and most unsolvable killing skill.
Nowadays, when it comes to killing skills, which army can compare with the Langya Brigade? Because the killing skills of the Langya Brigade were basically brought over from the 21st century by Xu Rui.
It is for this reason that Xu Rui dared to speak harshly.
"Oh, wow." Mr. Zhu said in surprise, "You are quite crazy."
"Boss, I'm not arrogant." Xu Rui said in amusement, "Without diamonds, how could I dare to take on this porcelain job?"
One of the leaders couldn't help it anymore, and immediately stood up and said: "Comrade Xiao Xu, I need to remind you that the Japanese cavalry group stationed in Baotou is not one or two cavalry regiments, let alone one or two squadrons, but
There are two entire brigades, do you know how many cavalry there are in the two cavalry brigades?”
"I know." Xu Rui replied simply, "The Japs' cavalry regiment has two formations. One is the regiment directly under the division. Because it is an auxiliary force, it generally only has two cavalry squadrons under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of about three hundred.
Yu cavalry is a field cavalry regiment, which generally consists of four cavalry squadrons, with a total strength of about 700 cavalry."
After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued: "The Japanese troops stationed in Baotou are the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade, which have four cavalry regiments. If the cavalry and artillery units are added, the total strength is about 3,500.
More than a hundred riders."
"Hey, you know a lot." The commander was stunned for a moment and then said, "Since you know that the Japanese cavalry group in Baotou has more than 3,500 cavalry, how dare you make such big claims?"
Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "The chief misunderstood, I didn't say that our Langya Brigade can eat up the Japs Cavalry Group stationed in Baotou in one go, but the Japs can't eat us either, so if the stalemate continues for a long time, the Japs will only
The more we fight, the less we fight, and we become weaker and weaker, but we will fight more and more, and the more we fight, the stronger we will become. Victory will eventually belong to us. After all, Chahar and Suiyuan are our Chinese territory! The people living there are also
They are our compatriots."
"Well said!" Chairman Mao stood up and said, "This matter is settled. Comrade Xu Rui will lead the Langya Brigade and the headquarters special cavalry company to Hetao to fight against the Japanese invaders!" After saying this, he said to Xu Rui again.
Rui said, "Comrade Xu Rui, you are also aware of the situation in Yan'an. Except for the headquarters special agent cavalry company, we really cannot mobilize more cavalry for you."
"Chairman, I think the cavalry company should stay to protect the Party Central Committee. The Langya Brigade is enough." Xu Rui paused here, then turned to Vice Principal Luo and said, "I would like to borrow someone from Lao Luo.
.”
"Borrowing someone?" Vice Principal Luo was confused, "What did you do? Who did you borrow?"
"Chen Hui." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "I think this guy has a very good mind. Please let me be your chief of staff."
Although Xu Rui knew that Shen Zhiyue was a military spy, it was difficult to expose him without evidence. After all, he was pretending to be a progressive student, and he pretended to be quite similar. If he rashly said that he was a spy, who would believe it?
?So it is better to find a way to take him to the Loop. This way, it will be easy to deal with him again.
In short, no matter what, this time bomb cannot be left by Chairman Mao's side.
"That's no problem." Without waiting for Vice Principal Luo to speak, Chairman Mao agreed directly, and then said, "But the cavalry company still has to be given to you. I forgot to tell you that the commander of the special agent cavalry company, Comrade Ma Fei, is
He is a native of Baotou and is familiar with the local customs and topography of Baotou. Having him as your liaison will also facilitate your work in the Hetao."
Chairman Mao has already said this, so Xu Rui will not say more. Besides, it would be hypocritical.
Mr. Zhu finally said: "In order to facilitate your work, the central government will give you a designation of the Chahar Independent Regiment, which will be temporarily led by the Jinsui Base Area. Do you have any objection to this?"
"Resolutely obey the organization's arrangements." Xu Rui stood at attention.
"Smelly boy." Mr. Zhu smiled and punched Xu Rui's chest, then continued, "Now I will settle the account with you for stealing dates. Hey, you boy, don't run away. Come back. Come back to me."
Ha ha."
PS: I would like to inform you again that the Ma Jiajun episode has been temporarily cancelled.
