Feicheng serves as the advance base for the Japanese Central China Front troops to move north to Xuzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that any action that occurs here will affect the progress of the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party sent a large number of intelligence personnel to Feicheng, and the Kuomintang's Renaissance Society also went there.
Feicheng dispatched the most elite intelligence team.↗,
Therefore, the battle in Feicheng had just begun, and the spies of the Fuxing Society were immediately alerted.
The spies of the Fuxing Society are indeed powerful. Not only did they penetrate deeply into the Japanese, they also penetrated into the puppet army's Wanzhong Security Division to a considerable extent. Previously, the independent regiment relied on the recruitment of the puppet army's Wanzhong Security Brigade to enter the city. Although it was successful,
It was hidden from the spy of the little devil, but it was not hidden from the spy of the Fuxing Society spies.
Elder Mao of the Feicheng Station of the Fuxing Society quickly made a judgment that was close to the facts based on the clues he collected, and then quickly reported it to the commander of the Third War Zone.
That night, Wan Xiangyun happened to be in charge of the Third War Zone Commander's Department.
After receiving the telegram, Wan Xiangyun did not dare to neglect and hurriedly came to see Gu Shutong.
It was already past one o'clock in the morning and almost two o'clock in the morning. Gu Shutong had already gone to bed, but the adjutant woke him up. Gu Shutong walked out of the room sleepily, while putting on his shirt, he frowned and asked: "Lao Wan."
, what’s going on? You’re not letting anyone sleep this late at night?”
Wan Xiangyun whispered: "Maintain, Fuxing Society Feicheng Station, urgent call!"
"Fuxingshe Feicheng Station?!" Gu Shutong's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this.
As early as yesterday, the spies of Fuxing Society Feicheng Station had smelled something strange, and immediately reported their findings to the Chief of the Third Theater District. In the telegram, the elder cat of Fuxing Society Feicheng Station also attached
His judgment: Dameishan Independent Regiment will launch a major offensive in Feicheng.
Gu Shutong's first reaction after seeing this telegram was to spit out a mouthful of tea.
Gu Shutong also said to Wan Xiangyun, this old cat is also a veteran on the secret front, why is he acting so frivolously?
In a word, Gu Shutong simply didn’t believe that the Dameishan Independent Regiment dared to attack Feicheng. Are you kidding me? Feicheng is an advanced base heavily guarded by the Japs. How many men and how many guns does Xu Rui’s Dameishan Independent Regiment have?
More than a thousand people dare to attack Feicheng? Are you not looking for death?!
However, after yesterday's telegram, a second telegram was sent from Feicheng Station of Fuxing Society today, and the call came after one o'clock in the morning, which shows that the situation is very urgent!
Could it be that what the old cat said is true?!
At that moment, Gu Shutong stretched out his hand and said, "The telegram is here, bring it."
Wan Xiangyun quickly handed over the telegram from Fuxing Society.
After Gu Shutong read the telegram, the expression on his face immediately became very wonderful.
Compared with yesterday's vague tone, in today's telegram, Lao Mao's tone was very certain. He said with certainty that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had launched the Battle of Feicheng a quarter of an hour ago, because it was only a quarter of an hour before the battle started.
Zhong, so the situation of the battle is still unclear, but Lao Mao made a bold judgment that the Dameishan Independent Regiment will definitely win this battle!
The reason why Lao Mao dared to make such a judgment was that the Dameishan Independent Regiment planned and acted later, while the little devils in Feicheng were unprepared. In addition, the Dameishan Independent Regiment seemed to have obtained the puppet army's Wanzhong Security Division.
The specific situation of the assistance from the 1st and 3rd regiments is not clear.
After a long while, Gu Shutong put down the telegram and asked Wan Xiangyun: "Lao Wan, what do you think?"
Wan Xiangyun said: "Chief Commander, this old cat is Director Dai's best confidant, and he is a very famous warrior on the intelligence front of our party. Since he dares to say this, he must have the confidence."
Wan Xiangyun is a cunning person. He only pointed out Lao Mao's background without showing any tendency. In this way, if the facts are inconsistent with Lao Mao's judgment, he will not be held responsible in the end.
But Gu Shutong is also a human spirit, but he will not let Wan Xiang Yun go so easily.
Gu Shutong said: "Don't give me a bad look, I'm asking for your opinion."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Wan Xiangyun could only bite the bullet and said: "General Manager, I think that Lao Mao's judgment is reasonable. According to Xu Rui's character, he can definitely do such a thing as beating Feicheng!"
"That's not what I'm asking. Xu Rui has always been so bold. As long as he has that strength, he would dare to attack Nanjing, let alone Feicheng!" Gu Shutong shook his head, and then asked, "I think
What I want to ask you is, how trustworthy is Lao Mao’s judgment? Can the Dameishan Independent Group win?”
Wan Xiangyun said: "Well, in fact, not only Feicheng, but also the Japanese-occupied areas are not very vigilant. At least at this stage, their vigilance is very low, so Xu Rui may really have a chance."
"That's what I think too. After the fall of Nanjing, the little Japanese became arrogant and arrogant to the point of no end. It's time to give them a little pain." Gu Shutong agreed, and went on to say, "Xu Rui was at Datong News Agency back then.
Xu Rui blatantly threatened the Japanese army in his text message. Many colleagues in the headquarters and the theater scoffed, thinking that Xu Rui was just using his words. But I didn’t think so, but I didn’t expect that Xu Rui’s revenge would actually come.
So fast and so hard, how dare he attack Feicheng?!"
Wan Xiangyun couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this.
Please, were you one of the people who sneered at me back then?
However, on the surface, Wan Xiangyun dared not reveal what he was thinking.
Gu Shutong walked to the big chair and sat down, stroking his chin and said: "Oh my god, if Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment really takes Feicheng, it will be a blockbuster. It will not only destroy the Japanese
If we are blown to pieces, I am afraid that our entire war zone will be disgraced, so what should we do?"
Wan Xiangyun rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Chief Commander, I have an idea. Not only can it save our Third War Zone from being passive, but it can also make you, Commander-in-Chief, look great in front of the committee members and the people of the country."
Gu Shutong's heart was moved, but he waved his hand and said: "Forget about the scenery, as long as I can not be scolded by the committee, I will be satisfied."
Wan Xiangyun said: "Chief Officer, didn't Lao Mao say in the telegram that puppet troops were involved in the Battle of Feicheng, and that Luo Feng's puppet army, the Second Wanzhong Security Brigade, was probably also involved? This Luo Feng is
A former battalion commander of the 88th Division, most of the officers and soldiers of his Second Wanzhong Security Brigade were remnants of soldiers who had broken out of Nanjing, so..."
Gu Shutong knew the name Luo Feng, and he was even on the must-kill list of the Fuxing Society's anti-traitor team.
Wan Xiangyun continued: "The commander-in-chief can definitely tell the above that our Third Theater Command has actually already secretly contacted Luo Feng's puppet army Wanzhong Security Brigade and prepared for an uprising. This Feicheng battle was actually fought by our Third Theater Command.
The war zone was launched, and Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment just happened to be there, what do you think, Commander-in-Chief?"
Gushu Tong couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this. If this was true, wouldn't the great success of recovering Feicheng fall on his Gushu Tong? Oh my God, this is a provincial capital, this is a provincial capital
What! Since the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the National Army has never regained a provincial city?
Based on this merit alone, he deserves to be awarded the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun!
But after thinking about it, Gu Shutong said with concern: "But Xu Rui and Luo Feng may not be willing to cooperate?"
Wan Xiangyun said: "Luo Feng is easy to handle. He was originally just a small battalion commander of the 88th Division. When the time comes, the commander-in-chief will just give him the position of brigade commander. From battalion commander to brigade commander, what else can he do?
Dissatisfied? It’s difficult for Xu Rui to handle, but it’s not impossible. It’s just that the main seat may need to bleed a little.”
Gu Shutong said: "Tell me what you think and I will think about it."
Wan Xiangyun said: "Beizhi has also done some research on Xu Rui's character and found that although this person is tough by nature, he is also very practical. It is probably difficult to silence him with commendation orders, power-on commendations, etc., so I always
If it can give him practical benefits, then what is the most practical thing? Of course it is the army."
"Army?" Gu Shutong said with confusion, "What do you mean?"
Wan Xiangyun smiled gloomily and said: "Chief, didn't the Wannan Independent Regiment have an internal strife yesterday? If Xu Rui hadn't sent his cavalry battalion to help, Wang Yi, that bastard, would have led the Wannan Independent Regiment to join the Japs.
Although Yang Banan has the situation under control now, he still owes Xu Rui a huge favor."
Gu Shutong said with horror: "Lao Wan, you mean... to let the Wannan Independent Regiment accept the command of Xu Rui?"
"General, why don't you want to take a longer term?" Wan Xiangyun said gloomily, "Why not just reduce the Wannan Independent Regiment to a battalion, and then integrate it into Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment? On the surface, we are
You suffered a loss, but you actually drove a nail into Xu Rui’s army!”
Comrade Gu Shu came to his senses and praised repeatedly: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Lao Wan, I really have you, your brain is very useful, this is what I like about you!"
Wan Xiangyun smiled flatteringly and said, "I'm not cultivated by the chief."
Gu Shutong snorted slightly, and then said: "But how should the committee and the headquarters explain it? Launching such a large offensive operation without reporting it to the committee and the headquarters cannot be justified in any case, right?"
Each theater of the National Army nominally enjoys the right to launch campaigns, but in fact they must report to the headquarters, especially Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Especially for joint operations, they must obtain the permission of Chairman Chiang. Otherwise, they will inevitably be attacked.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has always regarded military power as taboo.
Wan Xiangyun said: "Let's just say that it was launched in advance because of intelligence leakage, so it was not reported in time."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Gu Shu Tongzhaojie said, "Now let's see if Xu Rui can win Feicheng."
After saying that, Gu Shutong burst into laughter. He had never thought that one day he would be so eager for Xu Rui to win Feicheng!
Wan Xiangyun said: "Then I will send a telegram to Yang Banan now. This time, he will act as a special envoy to negotiate with Xu Rui, and at the same time announce the promotion order of Luo Feng from the Chief Executive Department."
