After Xu Rui and Wang Husheng completed the downsizing of the troops, they reported it to Yan'an that night. After receiving the telegram from the new regiment, Yan'an immediately forwarded it to the National Army Command. In any case, it is now the second time that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party
During the cooperation period, Xu Rui's troops were transferred from the 18th Group Army to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and had to report to the National Army Headquarters.
"The newly formed first regiment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces?" Chairman Chiang took the telegram and said with a frown, "Hasn't the Anti-Japanese Alliance been wiped out by the Japanese Kwantung Army? Several major leaders have also disappeared for a long time, right?
He Yingqin nodded and said: "It is true that the organized resistance forces no longer exist."
Chen Cheng cheered and said disdainfully: "It is a common method of the Communist Party to replace others with others."
After a pause, Chen Cheng continued: "Commissioner, we cannot recognize this new first regiment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, otherwise in a year and a half at most, this new regiment will become a brigade, and then a whole division.
After a year or two, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces will really become a group army in the true sense."
Bai Chongxi sneered and said: "It seems that if the headquarters does not recognize the designation, the Communist Party will not secretly expand their troops. If nothing else, in the establishment list of the headquarters, the 18th Group Army only has three jurisdictions.
There is only a Category B junior division, but if you ask around now, they already have more than thirty divisions."
Chen Cheng was immediately speechless, thinking, the CCP is so good at pulling troops, and I am helpless.
Chairman Chiang waved his hand and said: "At present, the Japanese army is marching south from Siberia after their great victory over the Soviet Union. The entire Chinese nation is facing an existential threat. It is a low period when the military morale and morale are urgently needed to be boosted. Therefore, at this time, morale can only be
Don’t let the drum break, and reply to Yan’an. The headquarters recognizes Xu Rui’s new regiment and will pay the troops according to the standards of a Category A regiment, but it will never recognize the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and let them do what they want!”
…
Tonghua County.
When Wang Husheng found Ximen with the telegram, Xu Rui was inspecting the city defense.
Tonghua is the gateway to the Changbai Mountains, but this does not mean that as long as Tonghua is captured, everything will be done, and the new regiment can leisurely transfer to Changbai Mountains, because the old devil Yamashita Fengwen will definitely send heavy troops.
Pursuing them, the Japanese would not give them any time to calmly manage the Changbai Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area.
Therefore, this time must be fought for by the new group themselves.
Therefore, we have to leave an army to stop the Japs in Tonghua!
Xu Rui has also selected this unit, which is Lin Wei's fourth battalion. However, the stakes in Tonghua's gains and losses are too important, so Xu Rui has to come and inspect it in person. After inspecting the entire circle, Xu Rui discovered that Lin Wei
His defensive deployment is simply impeccable. It seems that he really studied hard in the youth training camp.
In particular, Lin Wei creatively set up two flanking fire points on the solitary peak outside the west gate, which is even more powerful, because these two flanking fire points can be combined with the fire points on the hills on both sides of the canyon, as well as the permanent fire points on the west gate tower.
Fixed firepower points and forming a tight cross-fire network will severely restrict the Japanese infantry's attack.
Even if the Japs brought in heavy artillery, it would be useless because they were blocked by mountains.
However, Xu Rui still gave his advice: "Xiao Linzi, your defense deployment can be said to be impeccable, especially the two flanking firepower points on the solitary peak.
The peak is located relatively far forward, so it is easy to be attacked by Japanese infantry."
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "If you want to defend this solitary peak and fully utilize the two flanking firepower points, you must do two things well. First, you must store enough fresh water on the solitary peak. Second, you must store enough fresh water on the solitary peak.
Second, on the steep slope facing the Japanese on the west side of Gufeng, a triple line of defense must be built, and this triple line of defense must be connected with the Tibetan Soldier Cave on the back of the mountain through trenches."
"I understand." Lin Wei took out a small notebook and carefully recorded the three points Xu Rui said.
While the two people were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded behind them. Looking back, it was Wang Hu coming up, panting and angry.
Xu Rui asked: "Old Wang, aren't you convening a meeting with comrades from the Political Department? Why are you here?"
Wang Husheng waved his hand and said: "Old Xu, you must have never imagined that Chairman Chiang actually recognized the designation of our new regiment and said that we would pay according to the standards of the Class A regiment."
"Really?" Lin Wei said in surprise, "The sun really comes out from the west."
"Chairman Chiang is worried that our new regiment will not be able to hold on and the Japanese will be wiped out. In this case, the determination and morale of the officers across the country will be severely damaged." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "But Commissar Chiang
Chang Zhen thinks too much, our new group will not be defeated so easily."
After a pause, Xu Rui waved his hand and said loudly: "As our new regiment completes the reorganization work, the Northeast Anti-Japanese War is about to usher in a new situation. Not only will our new regiment not be defeated by the little devils, but it will
The forests, seas and snowfields of Changbai Mountain have created a solid anti-Japanese base area."
What Wang Husheng admires most about Xu Rui is that no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how great the difficulties are, Xu Rui will never bow his head and admit defeat, and will always think of a solution. He immediately echoed loudly: "Old Xu, you are right.
, our new group will definitely not be defeated by the little devils, the fun has just begun!"
"But military struggle still requires logistical support." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Old man, has the meeting of the Political Department on building a secret camp been over?"
"It's finished." Wang Husheng nodded, "And we are already starting to build the secret camp."
Xu Rui asked again: "Has there been any reply from Yan'an? Are there any anti-Union soldiers living in the Soviet Union?"
As a time traveler, Xu Rui actually knew that the Anti-Japanese Alliance was not completely wiped out. Instead, a unit moved to the Soviet Union during the most difficult time and was incorporated by the Soviet Red Army. However, the Soviet Union did not report this matter.
to the Chinese Communist Party, so Yan'an did not know that the Anti-Japanese Alliance actually had a force remaining in the Soviet Union.
Xu Rui knew about this, but he could not tell Yan'an directly. Instead, he could only vaguely speculate that it was very likely that the remnants of the Anti-Japanese Alliance had retreated to the Soviet Union, so he suggested that Yan'an ask the Soviet Union if there were really any soldiers of the Anti-Union Alliance who were wandering.
Within the Soviet Union, let them return home immediately to fight the war.
The reason Xu Rui wanted to mention this matter was, firstly, because the thousands of soldiers transferred to the Soviet Union were all elite veterans. If they could get this group of veterans, the new regiment would be stronger, and secondly, because the Anti-Japanese War back then
A large number of secret camps were built in the Changbai Mountains, and a large amount of food, medicine and even weapons and ammunition were stored in the secret camps.
If we could know the exact addresses of these secret camps from the surviving soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it would be a great help to the new regiment's anti-Japanese struggle! In the final analysis, as I just said, military struggle requires logistical support as the basis.
, without solid logistical support, no matter how elite the army is, it cannot last.
"I was just about to tell you." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "Yan'an just responded, saying that they had asked the Soviet Union and there were no anti-Japanese soldiers transferred to the Soviet Union. For this reason, the chairman also specially encouraged us to let
We should not be discouraged because we are fighting alone, we must stand firm in Changbai Mountain and open up the situation!"
Xu Rui's face immediately darkened when he heard this, and Lao Maozi really refused to admit it!
Historically, Lao Maozi did not disclose the matter until he could no longer hide it after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time and space, the Soviet Red Army suffered a huge defeat in the Far East and suffered serious losses in troops, so it was even more impossible to admit it! The Soviet Red Army had been transferred to the Soviet Union.
Although there are not many veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, they are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, which is particularly important to the Soviet army at this time.
However, through this incident, Xu Rui also completely dispelled his illusions about the Soviet government.
If you, the Soviet Union, are in the first grade of junior high school, don’t blame us, China, in the fifteenth grade. When the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future, we will be able to take back the Transkhinggan Mountains, Sakhalin and other areas that originally belonged to China from the Japanese. You, the Soviet Union
Don’t even think about taking away this 1.5 million square kilometers of territory from us Chinese!
Wang Husheng sighed and said: "If we can't find the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, we won't be able to find the secret camp. It seems that we can only build the secret camp on our own."
Xu Rui hummed and said: "Build it by yourself, build it by yourself. Mao Zedong once said, self-reliance will lead to adequate food and clothing!"
"Yes, be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing!" Wang Husheng nodded, and then said with a grimace, "But Lao Xu, I just asked the fellow villagers in Tonghua City, and I heard that bandits are very rampant in the Changbai Mountains, so the people in the mountainous areas are very
Unfortunately, almost all the landowners and their wealth have been wiped out by bandits, so we are afraid that we will not be able to raise much supplies."
Xu Rui frowned immediately after hearing this. This was indeed a problem.
Although the New Regiment brought hundreds of tons of supplies with them when they evacuated Fengtian, most of them were ammunition and not much food. What they thought at the time was that it would not be too late to collect food after arriving in the Changbai Mountains. It would be a few months anyway.
It was just the autumn harvest, and the number of troops was now much smaller, so Xu Rui thought there should be no problem.
However, Xu Rui ignored one issue, which was the security of Changbai Mountain Area.
Xu Rui didn't expect that the public security in Changbai Mountain was so bad. The bandits were so rampant that they almost wiped out all the landowners and wealthy people in the mountain. This gave the new regiment a problem, where to get food?
Digua suddenly said: "The landlords and wealthy people don't have any food left, so let's rob the bandits!"
Wang Husheng's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, but Xu Rui shook his head and said: "No, most bandit dens are hidden in deep mountains and old forests. It is too troublesome and time-consuming to rob them. What we lack most now is time! Because Tonghua has the most
Just stay for half a month. If we can't build the secret camp within half a month, we will be in big trouble."
