Before Xu Rui put down the phone, Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said: "Old Xu, you are so bad. You have already caused Fu Zuoyi such a big loss, and you still want to extort benefits from him. When he finds out in the future
I have suffered a loss and been tricked by you, how can he break up with you? Be careful that he gets jealous with you."
Xu Rui shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Do you really think Fu Zuoyi is a loser? Do you really think he will give us all the captured Japanese weapons and equipment?"
"What do you mean?" Leng Tiefeng was stunned, "How dare Fu Zuoyi play tricks on us too?"
"That's right." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "However, I don't care about the thousands of mortars and dozens of mortars they captured. This time I go north to Kulun. If I talk to Zhukov
Well, our Chahar Independent Regiment will be equipped with all Shui Lianzhu Cavalry Rifles and Russian-made artillery."
Leng Tiefeng hummed slightly and asked again: "When do you plan to leave?"
Xu Rui said: "I'm afraid I can't leave now. The Battle of Wuyuan has just been fought. Baotou's defense system and the anti-Japanese democratic government have not yet been established. If I leave at this time, maybe Fu Zuoyi will really give birth to something different."
With this kind of thinking, no matter what, Baotou is the second largest city in Suiyuan."
"That's true." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said.
Xu Rui added: "But I hate these things the most. It would be nice if Lao Wang was here."
Xu Rui liked fighting and leading troops, but he did not like construction and was not good at it. Whether in Dameishan or later in Shanghai, Wang Husheng was responsible for construction and Xu Rui was responsible for fighting.
Leng Tiefeng said: "This is not easy, just apply to Yan'an to transfer Lao Wang here."
"You think I didn't apply?" Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said angrily, "But the chairman didn't say anything, so I didn't dare to ask more, but in my opinion, this matter is probably a scam."
"This is actually normal." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "After Lao Xu left, only Lao Wang could still control the arrogant soldiers of the Songhu Independent Regiment. If Lao Wang also left,
Are those people still trying to shake things up? Especially that Shi Changqing, he is simply a lunatic. He will even scold you when his temper gets angry, let alone others?"
When Leng Tiefeng mentioned Shi Changqing, the image of Shi Changqing immediately appeared in Xu Rui's eyes.
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since he left Shanghai, and it has also been three months since he was separated from these brothers from the Songhu Independent Regiment. He really misses them in his heart. He doesn't know if these guys caused any trouble after retreating to the Dameishan base area.
Are you in trouble? Have you been punished by the organization? Also, have you fallen behind in training?
…
Dameishan, New Fourth Army headquarters.
Several chiefs were having a meeting, and the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn.
The No. 3 chief of staff, as the chief of staff, said seriously: "There are various signs that the Japs have changed their tactics. They no longer deploy as widely and comprehensively as before, but instead focus on defense and take the initiative. This change of the Japs,
It caused us great passivity, many base areas were poorly prepared and suffered heavy losses."
Before this, the Japanese in Anhui adopted the cage tactic, which was to dig blockade ditches around the Dameishan base area in an attempt to trap the Dameishan base area through the blockade trenches. However, from the actual combat effect, it was very poor, and the blockade ditches were repaired for a long time.
However, it failed to achieve the blockade intention at all, and instead restricted a large number of troops to the blockade line.
And because the blockade is too long and is fortified everywhere, even if it is undefended everywhere, the New Fourth Army can easily eat some of them by concentrating its forces. With such tactics, the New Fourth Army has achieved great results, expanding from 9,000 to 100,000 troops.
The required weapons and equipment were basically captured in this way.
It should be mentioned here that when he was in Shanghai, Xu Rui purchased a complete set of art equipment from the United States that was enough to equip three divisions. However, these equipment were basically used up in the two Songhu battles. Later, the Songhu Independent Regiment
Many soldiers retreated to Damei Mountain empty-handed.
In short, in one sentence, the cage tactic also needs to be supported. If there is no security support such as "giving the Chinese people enough dignity", and if there is no support from the majority of the gentry in the Japanese-occupied areas, the cage tactic is a joke and can be easily defeated.
, the prison policy implemented by the Japanese in central Anhui was riddled with holes by the New Fourth Army.
However, this situation changed two months ago.
Just two months ago, China dispatched the General Headquarters of the Condemned Army to reorganize the Japanese army in central Anhui and rebuilt the Twelfth Army with the Sixth Division as the core, and the division commander of the Sixth Division, Yamashita Tomofumi, concurrently served as the Twelfth Army.
The commander of the Twelfth Army, this old devil put great effort into forming a Yinlun force when he first took office.
For a long time, the biggest problem faced by the Japanese army when facing the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army was its lack of maneuverability.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Japanese army is actually far superior to the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army. Except for a few troops such as the Dameishan Independent Regiment and the Songhu Independent Regiment that can fight against the Japanese, most of the other troops are unable to confront the Japanese.
Yes, but there is one thing between the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army that little devils cannot compare with.
This thing is to have a pair of iron feet that can't run bad.
With these iron feet and familiarity with the nearby terrain, the Japs who can only maneuver along the road cannot catch up. If a small group of infantry is sent to pursue along the path, it is easy to be ambushed by the opponent, so the Japs are trapped.
In the dilemma, neither this nor that will work. When attacking, it seems to be completely disorganized.
However, Yamashita Fengfumi solved this problem perfectly.
Yamashita Tobumi's solution is to form a bicycle mobile unit! That is, the Silver Wheel Unit!
First of all, the speed of bicycles is much faster than walking. No matter how fast the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army can run, they will never be able to outrun bicycles under the same conditions. Finally, and most importantly, bicycles have much lower road requirements than trucks and pallets.
There are many small roads that cannot be passed by trucks and pallets, but bicycles can pass easily.
Relying on this Yinlun force, the Japanese army in central Anhui quickly reversed the unfavorable situation. Even Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang suffered at the hands of the Yinlun troops. They lost several county towns in a row and the troops suffered heavy losses.
Today's meeting is to discuss how to deal with the Yinlun troops of the Japanese.
The No. 2 leader said: "This old devil Yamashita Fengwen is really powerful, and the Yinlun unit he created is also very powerful. I'm afraid other units are no match. For the current plan, we can only let Dameishan Independent Regiment or Songhu Independent Regiment
We are going to deal with them. I propose to launch a raid in central Anhui and use this as bait to lure the old Japanese Yinlun troops to come and sweep them away. Then the Dameishan Independent Regiment and the Songhu Independent Regiment will ambush them halfway and eat them!"
Chief No. 1 nodded: "I think it's okay."
The other chiefs also nodded.
Chief No. 3 added: "But there is still a question. Comrade Wang Husheng, the leader and political commissar of the Songhu Independent Regiment, has received a transfer order from Yan'an and will go to Yan'an soon. After Comrade Wang Husheng leaves, who should be sent to take over Songhu?
The leader of the Shanghai Independent Regiment? This unit’s combat effectiveness is strong, but its tempers are also quite high.”
Chief No. 1 said: "We need to send someone who can control the situation."
The No. 2 leader said: "What do you think of Comrade Chang Yunfeng? Comrade Chang Yunfeng is an old revolutionary and an old comrade. He has a tough style and a strong will. He is known for his courage to fight tough battles."
Chief No. 1 did not speak. He had left the party for a long time and was not very familiar with the history of comrades in the party, so he had no right to speak.
Chief No. 3 said: "It seems that Comrade Chang Yunfeng is suitable."
No. 2 and No. 3 agreed, and No. 1 acquiesced. The matter was settled, and then No. 1 and No. 3 took the lead in formulating the battle plan, while No. 2 returned to his office.
As soon as he sat down, the guard came in and reported that Wang Husheng had arrived.
The No. 2 leader then ordered Wang Husheng to come in.
Wang Husheng came in quickly, stood at attention and saluted and said: "Wang Husheng, political commissar of the Songhu Independent Regiment, has been ordered to report and ask for instructions from the chief."
"Sit down." Commander No. 2 waved to Wang Husheng to sit down, and then said, "Xiao Wang, how is the mood of the troops and the training situation?"
"Everything is fine." Wang Husheng said, "I just feel that the head of the military department is a little partial."
"I've heard about this, haha." The No. 2 leader laughed, "Especially the First Battalion Commander Shi Changqing said that I only judged my family background and looked down on their comrades who came from the National Army..."
Wang Husheng said quickly: "Chief, actually..."
"Xiao Wang, you don't need to explain." Chief No. 2 interrupted him, "I can understand that the comrades of the Songhu Independent Regiment are eager to fight, but as the saying goes, good steel must be used on the blade, and your Songhu Independent Regiment is more
It is a sword that cannot be unsheathed easily. Once it is unsheathed, it will inevitably shake the mountain."
Wang Husheng immediately heard the implication of the No. 2 leader's words, and asked excitedly: "Chief, are we going to fight a big war?"
"Yes." The No. 2 leader nodded and said, "The military has decided to launch a major combat operation. Your Songhu Independent Regiment and Dameishan Independent Regiment will be the main attack, striving to severely damage or even completely annihilate the Yinlun troops of Fengwen Shanxia."
"Great!" Wang Husheng said excitedly, "Brothers have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
The No. 2 leader pondered for a moment and then said: "I have something to inform you in advance. The transfer order from Yan'an has been issued. You will be transferred to the Anti-Japanese University to study in the next few days."
Wang Husheng let out a cry and was stunned.
In fact, he had known that he would be transferred to Yan'an, but he didn't know that it would be so soon. Wang Husheng was very happy when he thought about seeing Xu Rui again soon, but when he thought about it, he thought about being separated from the brothers in the Songhu Independent Regiment, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The No. 2 leader added: "But before you leave, I hope you can cooperate with Comrade Chang Yunfeng in the handover work and don't have any emotions."
Wang Husheng stood at attention and said loudly: "Don't worry, chief, I promise to complete the task!"
