Seeing Gao Hanting happily counting how to divide the spoils after the Feit City was captured, Xiao Huadong couldn't help it anymore and said: "Commander, the Feit City hasn't been conquered yet, and you are already thinking about how to divide the spoils?
Besides, Feicheng is heavily guarded by little Japs, so how can it be so easy to fight? I don’t agree.? .??`"
"What, you don't agree?" Gao Hanting said he would fall out, he immediately glared and said angrily, "Xiao Huadong, please understand clearly, you are only the political officer, I am the military officer, okay? On the political level
You have the final say on matters. I have the final say on military matters. I will attack this fat city without your consent or disagreement."
Xiao Huadong didn't expect that Gao Hanting would fall out at once, and said with a wry smile: "Commander, calm down, this Feicheng is really not that easy to fight. Not only should our four detachments not fight, you should also dissuade Lao Wang and let them form an independent group."
Don't fight either, it's obvious that you'll get killed, we can't fight this kind of battle."
After a pause, Xiao Huadong continued: "It is true that our New Fourth Army wants to resist Japan, but we cannot resist Japan in this way."
Gao Hanting's anger came and went quickly. He grinned and asked, "Old Xiao, so as long as this battle can be won, you won't stop it?"
Xiao Huadong said angrily: "The key is that we can't win this battle."
"That's what I've been waiting for." Gao Hanting slapped his thigh and said cheerfully, "Old Xiao, you are really wrong. As long as the independent regiment is willing to join forces with our four detachments, there is a real chance to capture Feicheng!"
"Is there really a chance?" Xiao Huadong was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Commander, are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious." Gao Hanting touched his chin and said, "Whether this battle can be won or not depends on whether the independent group can penetrate into Feicheng first. Although Lao Wang only said a few words in the telegram
, but I can see that their independent group has a way to give the Japs in Feicheng a center to bloom!"
Xiao Huadong said disapprovingly: "It's just a bombing of an arsenal or something. How can it be considered a central flower?"
"Don't talk about blowing up the arsenal, even just creating a riot." Gao Hanting said, "As long as the independent regiment successfully creates a riot in the city and makes the little devils get into trouble first, my four detachments can
Surround the Japanese from all sides, take advantage of the enemy's instability and tear open the city defense. As long as the Japanese defense is broken, the rest will be easy."
Hearing this, Xiao Huadong couldn't help but feel a little excited. As Gao Hanting said, if they could really tear open the city defense while the Japs were unstable, they would really have a chance to take Feicheng. Since the adaptation, their four teams, large and small, have
Having fought dozens of battles with the Japs, Xiao Huadong had a good idea of the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves.
The number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Feicheng seems to be quite large, with a total of 20,000, but nearly 10,000 of them are puppet troops, and the remaining 10,000 are small Japanese. The main force is the Feicheng garrison brigade, but this Feicheng garrison brigade
The regiment is different from the Kawaguchi detachment. It is a temporary unit, and its combat effectiveness is not even the third rate of the Japanese.
If the Independent Regiment can really create a riot in the city and attract the attention of the Japs, if the four detachments can really tear through the city defense with lightning speed before the Feicheng Japs and puppet troops can react, then with the combat effectiveness of the four detachments
, there is a real chance to win Feicheng, I am not sure about it, but I am half sure about it!
At that moment, Xiao Huadong said: "Commander, we only have half a chance at most."
"Half a chance is still less?" Gao Hanting laughed and said, "Old Xiao, don't forget, Feicheng is a piece of fat! If you want to eat this piece of fat in your mouth, how can you not take some risks?"
Xiao Huadong insisted: "This is not a little risk, it is a huge risk."
Gao Hanting said happily: "To say that the risk is high, can it be greater than when we made a surprise attack on Wei Lihuang's headquarters? We were not even 10% sure about that surprise attack, and we won it in the end? It's a pity that Wei Lihuang is like this
The old boy was alert enough and actually changed his headquarters in advance, so he couldn't catch him.?"
"This is different." Xiao Huadong said quickly, "At the beginning, we had no choice but to fight Wei Lihuang, so we had to go all out even if there was only one ten thousandth chance, but now..."
"It's the same now." Gao Hanting said loudly, "When you are a soldier fighting, you have to put your head in your waistband to make a living. You may die one day. Is there any sure-win battle in this world? How can a war be without risks?
?This matter has been settled like this. You can call Lao Wang later."
"It's settled?" Xiao Huadong said, "Commander, should you ask the head of the military department for instructions?"
"What are you asking for? What is there to ask for?" Gao Hanting said disapprovingly, "The head of the military headquarters is far away in southern Anhui and has no understanding of the actual situation in central Anhui. What's the use of asking for permission? Don't let the head of the military department disagree in the end.
If you fight, you are disobedient on the battlefield, unorganized and undisciplined. But if you don't fight, I will regret it for at least half a year!"
Xiao Huadong said: "But Commander, is it appropriate for us to launch such a large offensive without telling the military? This is not about dispatching a battalion to ambush the Japs' transport team, nor is it sending out a regiment to attack a county, but
Is it unreasonable to dispatch the entire detachment to attack Feicheng without asking the military headquarters for instructions?"
Gao Hanting thought for a while and said: "Then let's send a correspondent across the river to Wannan and report our plan to attack Feicheng to the head of the military department in person."
"What?" Xiao Huadong said, "Send a correspondent? When the correspondent crosses the river and arrives in Wannan, the battle is over. Since we have to report to the head of the military department, why not just send a telegram to ask for instructions?"
"The radio station is broken, please give me a ball." After Gao Hanting finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Gao Hanting's back, Xiao Huadong immediately understood that Gao Hanting's move was actually a disguised form of killing first and then showing off. This worked for enlightened leaders, but for some more eccentric leaders, this trick may not work.
Gao Hanting's impression in the mind of the military chief was not good to begin with. After this matter is over, the situation will only get worse.
But there is no way, once Gao Hanting decides, even the nine bulls will not be able to pull him back.
Shaking his head, Xiao Huadong walked into the communications office and sent a telegram to Wang Husheng.
(Dividing line)
Almost at the same time that the four detachments received the text message, the headquarters of the commander of the third war zone and the Wuhan camp of the National Army also received the text message from Datong News Agency.
The Ministry of Education and the Wuhan camp caused an uproar, and its effect was comparable to an eight-magnitude earthquake!
However, Wan Xiangyun, deputy commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, who had just returned from an inspection in western Zhejiang, did not know yet.
Seeing Wan Xiangyun walk in, Gu Shutong, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, glanced sideways at him, and then said to the adjutant standing opposite the big table: "Adjutant Sun, read the message from Datong News Agency."
"Still reciting it?" Adjutant Sun said in surprise, "Mr. Sir, I have already recited it six times."
"Then recite it for the seventh time." Gu Shutong said calmly, "I want to hear it again."
"Yes!" The Commander-in-Chief has an order, so what else is there to say? Adjutant Sun immediately unfolded the document, picked up the copied Datong News Agency briefing, and read aloud, "The first anti-mopping up operation in the Dameishan Anti-Japanese Base Area was successful.
Victory." At this point, Adjutant Sun paused, because this was the title.
Wan Xiangyun's ears immediately stood up.
It turned out to be a briefing about the anti-mopping operations of the Dameishan Independent Regiment? But I don’t know whether the Dameishan Independent Regiment lost or won this anti-mopping operation? It should have lost. With the strength of the Kawaguchi detachment, the Dameishan Independent Regiment
The group had no chance at all. Yes, the Dameishan Independent Group must have suffered a loss, and a big loss!
Adjutant Sun paused for a moment, then continued reading: "A few days ago, the Japanese invaders' Kawakou detachment invaded in large numbers. However, our base army and the people were united and after ten days of fierce fighting, we have defeated their offensive and wiped out all the invading enemies."
After reading this, Adjutant Sun stopped reading and closed the folder.
Wan Xiangyun was still waiting for the next step, so he couldn't help but ask: "Adjutant Sun, is this the end?"
"It's over." Adjutant Sun spread his hands and said jokingly, "This text message, including the title and text, is only five or six words long. It is concise and clear to the extreme. This is a real text message."
Wan Xiangyun grinned, and tried to make fun of her a few words, but couldn't make fun of him.
Because the content of this text message had shocked Wan Xiangyun, he even suffered from intermittent mental lapses. Since the temporary No. 79 Brigade rejected his kindness and insisted on going to Jiangbei and defecting, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wan
Intermittent thinking lags began to occur frequently.
Gu Shutong glanced at Wan Xiangyun coldly, and then said quietly: "Dameishan Independent Group and Wannan Independent Group are both independent groups, but how can the gap between independent groups be so big? One
The independent regiment has been huddled in the fortified city all day long, but has it ever made a decent attack?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Xiangyun's face immediately turned red.
Gu Shutong continued without mercy: "But the other independent group is attacking from all sides. If the little devils don't provoke them, they will still go back to provoke the little devils. No, the little devils will free their hands.
We gave them a big sweep, but in the end, they were crushed and all the invading enemies were wiped out. Beautiful, well done!"
Wan Xiangyun's thinking finally recovered from the lag, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Because strictly speaking, Wan Xiangyun bears a great responsibility for causing the remnants of the temporary 79th Division to cross the river to join the Communist Party. If he hadn't had a bad idea at the beginning, he carried out this operation in the name of sheltering the remnants of the temporary 79th Division.
By appropriating the actual military exploits of the Temporary 79th Division, the remnants of the Temporary 79th Division would most likely not be angered and would not cross the river to join the Communists.
