At the same time, the news that the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army had recovered Jiujiang had also spread back to Dameishan.
However, when the news reached Dameishan, Wang Husheng, the political commissar of the Dameishan Military Division, and several group leaders were not there. They were accompanying two distinguished guests to visit the industrial zone in the mountain.
These two distinguished guests are Cherev, the Soviet minister to China, and Colonel Stilwell, the American military attache to China. Oh, no, it should be Brigadier General Stilwell now, because when he returned to China last time to report on his duties, Stilwell had already been replaced by a colonel.
He was promoted to brigadier general, and the U.S. Department of Defense was moving him back to China to serve as the commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.
Wang Husheng took Cherev and Stilwell to visit the industrial zone. His intention was actually very clear. He hoped that through Cherev and Stilwell's reports, the Soviet government and the U.S. government would know that China's resistance force was not limited to the National Army.
The armed forces behind enemy lines under his leadership actually also played a great role.
Yes, the armed forces behind enemy lines at this stage are still very weak and are not yet strong enough to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. However, they are not without some potential. For example, in the Dameishan Military Division, not only the size of the troops is swelling like a snowball, but the combat effectiveness is also increasing at a rapid rate.
Strengthened and established a military industry.
Wang Husheng hoped that through such a display, he could win military assistance from the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union.
In the final analysis, there are only interests between countries. If the same assistance is more effective and can defeat the Japanese, then what reason does the U.S. and Soviet governments have for not providing it? After all, they do not seek all assistance, but just want
A very small part of it is military aid.
A convoy of four three-wheeled motorcycles entered a deep mountain along a mountain road with nine roads and eighteen turns, and finally stopped in an open space for more than a dozen trucks to park. Cherev and Stilwell
After getting off the car, I looked up and saw a high cliff standing in front of me, which was forty or fifty meters high.
Under that high cliff, there is a military restricted area.
Wang Husheng came over, pointed to this high cliff and said: "This is the ghost town, our factory is hidden in it."
Stilwell praised: "The choice of this industrial area is really ingenious. Even if the Japanese army sends out a group of bombers, it will not pose a real threat because horizontal bombing is not accurate. If they use dive bombing, haha, the bombers will dive down."
It’s easy, but it’s impossible to pull it up again. Not bad, it’s really good.”
Cherev also said: "If you want to carve out a factory area on the hard mountain wall, the amount of work will probably not be small, right?"
"Fortunately." Wang Husheng explained, "Because this is a karst landform, the limestone will soften when it encounters water, so it is not too difficult to dig. Moreover, we have sufficient labor force. Thanks to Chairman Chiang's digging of the garden entrance.
, more than half a million people came in at once, fortunately we have enough projects to do."
This was also Wang Husheng's little idea. While showing off himself, he also did not forget to slander Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
Wang Husheng's irony is quite effective. At least Stilwell's thick eyebrows have become a frown.
It is no exaggeration to say that Stilwell had a very negative view of Chairman Chiang's decision to blow up Huayuankou. He felt that as a leader, he should not issue such an order at any time, and it made Stilwell unable to do so.
What is tolerable is that the breach of the Huayuankou embankment cannot fundamentally prevent the Japanese attack. This is completely a stupid approach that kills one hundred enemies and damages one thousand.
However, Stilwell didn't want to discuss Chairman Chiang too much and said, "Wang, can you show us around?"
"Of course." Wang Husheng happily agreed, and just as he was about to take the two of them into the factory, another three-wheeled motorcycle came speeding along the mountain road. After arriving at the parking lot, the driver suddenly turned the handle of the car, and his crotch
The three-wheeled motorcycle made a creaking sound and swung its tail to a sudden stop.
Wang Husheng turned around and saw that it was Xu Ye from the guard camp.
"Political commissar!" Xu Ye jumped out of the car and shouted loudly, "The regiment leader has news!"
Although the Dameishan base area has been upgraded to a military division, Xu Rui was dismissed from his post for killing prisoners. Now his official position is the cooking squad leader. The commander of the military division is temporarily held by Wang Husheng, so the officers and soldiers of the entire military region are still
According to the old rules, Xu Rui is called the leader.
As soon as Wang Husheng heard this, he immediately left Cherev and Stilwell returned.
"Where's the telegram? Where's the telegram?" Wang Husheng said eagerly, "Give me the telegram quickly!"
Wang Husheng's heart has been hanging since he last received the telegram from Xiao Taohong, because Xiao Taohong was unclear in the telegram. He only said that Xu Rui had killed Okamura Neiji, and he was also injured, but the extent of the injury
Whether it was serious or not, Xiao Taohong did not elaborate in the telegram. If you care, you will be confused. Wang Husheng will inevitably have random thoughts.
After reading the telegram and confirming that Xu Rui was fine, Wang Husheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, the four regiment leaders He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, He Shuya, and Gao Chu also came over. Cherev and Stilwell did not regard themselves as outsiders and followed them.
Cherev also asked: "King, is there any news about Mist Xu?"
The reason why Stilwell and Cherev came to Dameishan this time was actually for Xu Rui. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at the Dameishan Military Division, Xu Rui had already gone to Jiujiang. Because of this, Shi Rui
Diwei and Cherev were very sorry, especially Cherev. Since he was about to be transferred back to China, if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to see each other again in the future.
However, Cherev did not know that two years later, he and Xu Rui would become comrades in the same trench!
"Minister Cherev, General Stilwell, and Lao Xu have news." Wang Husheng said with a smile, "He just led a remnant of the Sichuan Army to raid Jiujiang and took control of Jiujiang."
"Jiujiang? The headquarters of the Japanese Eleventh Army?"
"God, God, Mist Xu occupied Jiujiang?"
Cherev and Stilwell were stunned, their faces full of disbelief.
He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, He Shuya and Gao Chu also looked at each other in confusion. They were already very familiar with the leader's style, but they still didn't expect that after leaving Damei Mountain, there would be no independent group.
The regiment commander was actually able to create such a big disturbance in Jiujiang with just a Sichuan Army company.
The leader is the leader after all, and he won’t let the little devil stop wherever he goes!
As a result, a unique military intelligence seminar was held in the parking lot of the Dameishan Industrial Zone. In addition to political commissar Wang of the Dameishan Military Division, four regiment commanders and a guard company commander, the Soviet Union stationed in China attended the meeting.
Minister Cherev and Brigadier General Stilwell of the United States stationed in Wuhan, this is probably the first meeting between China, the United States and the Soviet Union in modern China, but the level is a bit lower.
"What a big deal! Absolutely a big deal!" Chereev pointed at the map with a pencil and said with emotion, "Mist Xu is going to give the Japanese army a center to bloom and encircle them on all sides! This strategic concept is the ultimate
If it becomes a reality, the outcome of the Wuhan Battle will be reversed, and the Chinese government may even turn to a strategic counterattack!"
Stilwell said: "However, this still requires the full cooperation of the National Army. The combat effectiveness of Xue Yue's first corps is okay, but the combat effectiveness of the other three corps is not worth mentioning, so Mist Xu's grand strategic concept is probably difficult to
It can be fully realized, and I personally am cautiously optimistic about this concept."
"Prudent? Prudent." He Guangming used a curse word that Xu Rui often said, but it made Stilwell, an American, confused. "Prudent? Prude? What the hell?"
But He Guangming continued: "Isn't this obvious? If the Japanese army in Central China is compared to a snake, then Jiujiang is its seven inches. Now that the regiment leader leads the Sichuan army to control Jiujiang, it is like strangling the little devil.
Seven inches, it’s very difficult for the little devil to even move now, how can he still play with it?”
Wan Zhongshan nodded and said: "I very much agree with Lao He's view. When large corps fights, they actually fight for logistical support, and Jiujiang is a munitions transfer station for the Japanese army in central China, especially the five Japanese divisions fighting on the south bank of the Yangtze River. All the
All military supplies depend on the transportation of supplies from Jiujiang. Now that the Sichuan army controls Jiujiang City, let alone the Japanese army in the north of the Yangtze River, at least five Japanese divisions on the south bank of the Yangtze River have been cut off from supplies. How can it last long?"
Wang Husheng said, "I'm just afraid that Jiujiang City won't be able to defend it."
Cherev and Stilwell also nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Jiujiang's position is so important, it can be said that it is directly related to the life and death of the five main divisions on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Therefore, it is completely conceivable that the Japanese army in Central China will mobilize heavy troops to counterattack madly.
Xu Rui only had one Sichuan regiment in his hands, and it was temporarily formed from prisoners of war. It was extremely difficult to defend Jiujiang.
However, just as Wang Husheng finished speaking, He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan and Gao Chu all said "cut" at the same time.
He Guangming curled his lips disapprovingly and said loudly: "Political Commissar, you think too highly of the little devil. You don't even look at who is guarding Jiujiang. He is our regiment leader!"
Wan Zhongshan also said: "The regiment commander is here in Jiujiang, so the little devil has no chance."
Gao Chu even said: "It's not that I underestimate the little Japanese. As long as the regiment commander is here, the little Japanese can't even transfer a division to come up, but it still won't work. Therefore, the good show of blooming in the center and being surrounded on all sides is set. Now
It just depends on whether the National Army is strong enough. If the National Army is strong enough, it will definitely be enough for the little devil to drink this time."
Listening to the discussion of the three regiment leaders, Cherev and Stilwell exchanged glances without leaving any trace. They both saw a strange look in each other's eyes. This Xu Rui was not only great at fighting, but also more capable at leading troops.
He has a way of doing it. The leaders of the main groups under his command have so much confidence in him!
However, at this time, He Shuya, who had been silent, said: "However, the strategic concept designed by the team leader is not without flaws!"
Everyone's eyes fell on He Shuya's face. The 3D floating fighting mobile game "National Master" adapted from Tiancan Tudou is now in public beta. Book friends who want to play please follow the WeChat official account to download and install it.
