Dameishan base area, military division headquarters.
Wang Husheng had been busy all day. He dragged his tired footsteps back to the headquarters. After washing, he sat down at the desk again, preparing to review the documents that had been accumulated for several days. Wang Husheng was now carrying the commander of the military division and the government on his shoulders.
There are so many official duties that I have to handle every day, and I am so busy that I can’t bear to eat anymore.
Wang Husheng had just finished reviewing the application for allocating funds to the Propaganda Department to establish a literary and art propaganda team when there were sudden footsteps outside the office. When he looked up hurriedly, he saw Xu, the commander of the first company of the security battalion directly under the military division headquarters.
Ye, holding a telegram in his hand, rushed in furiously.
"Look at you." Wang Husheng said angrily, "You are already a company commander, but you are still very frizzy."
Xu Ye, however, seemed not to have heard anything and gasped: "Political Commissar, the commander just sent back a telegram. He is going to lead the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army to break out from Jiujiang, and he also asked us to do a good job in responding!"
"What, is Lao Xu finally going to break through?" Wang Husheng immediately jumped up from his bed after hearing this, grabbed the telegram from Xu Ye's hand, and said, "Give me the telegram quickly."
To be honest, during the few days Xu Rui was trapped in Jiujiang, Wang Husheng never had a peaceful night's sleep.
Although Xu Rui's ability and tactical command ability are unparalleled, after all, he is fighting against the Japanese in Jiujiang, not in the Dameishan base area, and the unit he is commanding now is also the Sichuan Army. After all, it is not an independent regiment. Although the Sichuan Army
It is also a capable unit, but there is still a long way to go compared to the old independent regiment.
Therefore, it is definitely false to say that Wang Husheng is not worried about Xu Rui's safety.
If he hadn't considered that his ability was not good enough, and the military division really couldn't do without him, Wang Husheng might have already led the three main regiments to southern Anhui and crossed the war zone to meet Xu Rui. Or that the Dameishan military division could do it
Wang Husheng would be without him, but Xu Rui would definitely not be without him!
Xu Rui is the founder of the Dameishan Military Division and the soul of the Military Division!
Now that news of a breakthrough has arrived, Wang Husheng can finally take a breath.
After hurriedly reading the telegram, Wang Husheng said urgently: "Quickly, notify Commander Qiu immediately, Commander Iron and the Decepticons are coming to the headquarters for a meeting. Hurry!"
Xu Ye agreed, turned around and flew away.
Watching Xu Ye's figure go away, Wang Husheng withdrew his gaze and read the telegram in his hand again and again. After calming down, he realized that Xu Rui's breakout plan was really unbelievable. But then again, since the independence group became
Hasn’t Xu Rui been doing this since the day he joined the army? Hasn’t he been doing this since he came here?
What Wang Husheng didn't expect was that before Qiu Feng, Tiegang, and Decepticon arrived, the other two guests were alerted first and came to the door themselves. These two guests were the American Attaché to China, Steve Smith.
Brigadier General Wei and Chelev, the Soviet Minister to China, never left because they did not see Xu Rui.
Of course, the reason why Stilwell and Cherev did not leave immediately was not entirely because of Xu Rui, but also because the two of them wanted to carefully inspect the Dameishan base area, because they discovered some interesting things in the Dameishan base area.
In particular, the youth training team founded by Xu Rui aroused great interest in the two of them.
Or to be more precise, it was the youth training team's courses that aroused great interest in the two of them.
Neither Stilwell nor Cherev expected that there would be a true military school in the guerrilla base area of the army, and the courses taught by this military school are the most cutting-edge courses in the world today, such as infantry
Artillery coordination, infantry-tank coordination, even air-ground coordination, etc.
There is also the theory of large corps and deep operations. This is a cutting-edge theory in Frunze and West Point Military Academy. However, I did not expect that in a mountain ravine in China, in the base of the guerrillas, in an extremely simple military academy, it actually
They are also teaching these cutting-edge military theories, which cannot but arouse their interest.
Therefore, Stilwell and Cherev temporarily stayed as guest teachers of the youth training team.
Today, Stilwell and Cherev led the youth training team students to conduct sand table operations as usual, which lasted until about 11 o'clock in the night. Just as they were preparing to return to the guest house to rest, they accidentally saw the guard company commander Xu Ye
Wang Husheng came out of Wang Husheng's office with an excited expression. One of these two people was from the KGB and the other was a graduate of a military academy. They were both professionals with extremely keen senses of smell. They immediately smelled a strange smell in the air.
Thinking back to today, Chairman Chiang had just issued a general retreat order, and the Nationalist Government had actually lost the Battle of Wuhan. The two people immediately made a judgment that news about Xu Rui, who was trapped in Jiujiang, had returned, and
If nothing else goes wrong, Xu Rui should be leading the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army to break through.
Immediately, the two of them came to the headquarters uninvited and in a hurry.
Both Stilwell and Cherev believed that Jiujiang was in a certain death situation. In the past few days, they had been conducting war games with the students from the youth training team, hoping to use their own abilities to win this game.
The dead chess pieces were moved, but after working for several days, the results were indistinguishable and they all ended in failure.
So the two wanted to know how Xu Rui broke the situation?
When the sentry guarding the door saw that it was Stilwell and Cherev, he did not stop them and allowed them to enter.
(Dividing line)
The fate of Xu Rui and the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army affects the concern of many people.
In addition to the soldiers of the Dameishan Military Division, the one who is most concerned about the fate of Xu Rui and the soldiers of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army is none other than Xue Yue, deputy commander-in-chief of the 9th Theater and commander-in-chief of the First Corps.
At the same time that the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army launched a breakout campaign, the headquarters of the First Corps also began to move out.
Before leaving, Xue Yue walked into the war room for the last time. Looking at the empty war room, Xue Yue felt sad. The battle of Gao'an should not have had this result, and the battle of Wuhan should not have had such a result. However,
With such a leader and such a government, he has no ambition but is helpless.
Suddenly heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and Xue Yue knew it was Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi without turning around.
"Maintain, it's time to get on the bus." Wu Yizhi walked behind Xue Yue and sighed, "There are less than six hours left before we leave Liangke, but we still have to travel dozens of miles, so don't get lost halfway.
If the Japanese reconnaissance plane discovers it, and then attracts a group of Japanese bombers, it will be a serious problem."
Xue Yue said calmly: "It's just a death, what's the big deal?"
"What the Chief said is wrong." Wu Yizhi said, "You are not only responsible for the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Ninth War Zone, but also the safety of the entire country and the entire nation!"
Hearing this, Xue Yue shook his head and sighed: "Chief of Staff, take another good look at your hometown in Jiangxi. I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in this life. Maybe if I leave today, I will say goodbye forever..."
Wu Yizhi was silent when he heard the words. From Xue Yue's tone, he could hear the deep sadness and desolation.
In fact, Xue Yue is indeed very depressed at this moment. This anti-Japanese steel head, who has always been known for his strong will, is indeed in a huge depression at this moment, because the result of this Wuhan battle has made him have a negative attitude towards this country and towards This nation has lost all confidence. He feels that China may not be able to win.
Xue Yue is a soldier. He doesn't know much about politics and doesn't want to get involved in politics. However, Xue Yue can still understand the basic rise and fall of national power.
Little Japan is indeed a small country. In order to support the Sino-Japanese War, the government has indeed been on the verge of bankruptcy. However, Little Japan has a strong industrial base. As long as the frontal offensive is stopped, Little Japan's national strength will be restored immediately in less than two years. , and immediately had the ability to launch another round of all-out attack!
This is not the case in China. After losing the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it first lost 70% of its fiscal and tax sources.
After losing large tracts of territory in Northeast China, North China, East China, and Central China, China lost nearly half of its territory and more than half of its population. As a result, China's war mobilization capabilities were greatly weakened.
What made Xue Yue feel most desperate was the incompetence of the Nationalist government. The country was already like this. Most of China was almost burned red by the flames of war. But Wuhan, which served as the camp, and Chongqing, the accompanying capital, were still feasting and feasting, so much so that the people on the front line After meeting, the National Army soldiers laughed at themselves: The front line is tight, the rear is tight!
"Let's take a good look." Xue Yue sighed, turned around and walked out of the war room.
Wu Yizhi followed him out and said: "Maintainer, there is something else."
Xue Yue got into the jeep and sat down. He closed his eyes and asked, "Is it about the Sichuan Army's 799th Regiment's breakout?"
"I really can't hide anything from you, Chief." Wu Yizhi sat next to Xue Yue and said with a smile, "Before dismantling the radio, the radio team received a telegram from the 799th Regiment, saying that they were ready to break out. Breakout The time is set at midnight. Judging from the time, there should already be results over there."
Xue Yue sighed and said, "I hope they can break through successfully."
Wu Yizhi shook his head and said: "I think that the possibility of their successful breakout is very small. No matter what, they have already defended Jiujiang for seven days. They only have one regiment of troops. How many more will be left after seven days of defense?" People? What’s more, they have been compressed by the Japanese in Beicheng District, so it will be even more difficult to break out."
Xue Yue shook his head and said: "No matter what, the 74th Army must move forward from De'an."
"Don't worry, Chief." Wu Yizhi nodded and said, "Commander Yu has sent a regiment north to Fengxin County."
"A group?" Xue Yue suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a frightening cold light, but then it dimmed, then he closed his eyes and said nothing more, but just told the driver, "Drive."
