Let’s go back and talk about the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army.
At dawn, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army rushed to Mazu Mountain, twenty miles southeast of Jiujiang. Mazu Mountain belongs to the boundary of Gutang Town. Gutang Town belongs to the guerrilla zone of the New Fourth Army's water guerrillas. There is an underground party organization here.
Long before coming to Jiujiang, Xu Rui had already established contact with the underground party in Gutang Town through the New Fourth Army headquarters.
The leader of the Gutang Town underground party is a local primary school teacher, Zhou Wenli, who wears glasses and is polite and polite.
"Is this Commander Xu? My name is Zhou Wenli, just call me Xiao Zhou." Zhou Wenli recognized Xu Rui at a glance and stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Rui warmly.
The traffic officer sent by the military highly praised Xu Rui, and Zhou Wenli was deeply impressed.
"Commander, he's just a small cooking squad leader." Xu Rui smiled and shook hands with Zhou Wenli.
Zhou Wenli shook his head and said: "Commander Xu is joking. Who doesn't know that the head of the military department did this out of love for you. It won't be long before you are reinstated. Oh no, you are in Jiujiang again this time."
Having achieved such great military exploits, when you return, you will be reinstated immediately, and you will still be your commander."
"Then I accept your good advice." Xu Rui said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, let's make a long story short. How did you do the thing I asked you to do last time?"
"Commander Xu, don't worry, everything has been done." Zhou Wenli first gave a piece of information to Xu Rui, and then said, "This Gutang Town can be regarded as an old revolutionary base. The mass base has always been very good. The little devils have invaded
After Jiangxi, our party organization has made great progress in Gutang Town. The enthusiasm of the villagers is very high, and I don't even have to do work."
I have to say that Xu Rui is really far-sighted.
Long before the start of the Jiujiang Defense War, Xu Rui had already foreseen today's situation. He not only planned a breakout strategy in advance, but also arranged a proper place for the wounded. This place was the fortress in Gutang Town, where the Sichuan Army's Seventh Army
The wounded members of the 99th Regiment and the Guard Brigade will stay in Gutang Town to recuperate.
Wait until these seriously injured people recover from their injuries before deciding whether to stay or leave.
This is also the meaning of the question. In Jiujiang, if Xu Rui abandons the wounded, then there is only one way waiting for these wounded, which is death! Xu Rui cannot do such a thing anyway, because it is not the same as
His beliefs as a soldier were in serious conflict. If Xu Rui did this, his beliefs would be gone.
So when he was in Jiujiang, Xu Rui would never abandon these two hundred wounded people!
But after breaking through the siege and arriving at Gutang Town, the situation immediately changed.
For a team with a total number of only about 500 people, bringing along 200 wounded people is too much pressure. The presence of these wounded people will seriously affect the team's mobility, not to mention these seriously injured people staying in Gutang
Recuperating in the town can not only avoid the pain of being displaced, but also get better care.
In another time and space, most of the wounded in the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army were placed in this way.
Don’t underestimate this arrangement. A veteran is a kindling. Many times, when a veteran recovers from his injuries, he can raise a guerrilla force in the local area. One guerrilla force may be insignificant, but a hundred, a thousand or even
The total number of tens of thousands of guerrillas immediately becomes a decisive force!
After Zhou Wenli finished speaking, he turned around and waved, and hundreds of villagers came out of the woods carrying stretchers and picked up the seriously injured members of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army and the Guard Brigade.
Neither Zhao Baishi nor Gou Ligui said anything about Xu Rui's arrangement.
Because neither Gou Ligui nor Zhao Baishi can do better than Xu Rui.
According to their approach, these two hundred wounded people would have been abandoned in Jiujiang long ago. They would have either become prisoners of the Japs, or they would have already fired grenades and perished with the Japs.
After delivering the wounded, Xu Rui said to Zhou Wenli: "Secretary Zhou, the Japs' pursuers may catch up at any time. Once the Japs know that we left the seriously wounded in Gutang Town, not only will these wounded be in danger, but the fellow villagers will also be in danger."
There will also be trouble, so we have to move immediately, so let's just let it go."
"Okay." Zhou Wenli nodded and said, "Anyway, don't worry about the wounded."
Xu Rui came over and whispered: "Secretary Zhou, these wounded soldiers are all good soldiers. While they are recuperating, you should take the time to do more ideological work for them. When they recover, don't let them return to the army. Finally,
Let them stay in your guerrillas, they are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles."
If there was a chance, Xu Rui actually wanted to take these wounded people back to Dameishan, but at the moment he was really unable to do so, so he could only take advantage of the guerrillas in Gutang Town.
As the saying goes, the meat is still in the pot when it is rotten.
Zhou Wenli's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and then he nodded repeatedly.
Over there, Zhao Baishi and Gou Ligui also said goodbye to their respective wounded.
Immediately afterwards, the troops left Mazu Mountain and continued southward. However, when the officers and soldiers of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army wanted to throw away the stretcher, Xu Rui stopped them. Instead of letting the stretcher be thrown away, Xu Rui ordered the Sichuan Army soldiers to throw away the stretcher from the field.
A lot of straw was piled into the straw pile, and nearly two hundred straw men were tied up, and then the Sichuan army soldiers carried the straw men on stretchers and marched.
Of course, these scarecrows on the stretchers were all covered with quilts and well disguised.
After all this was done, Zhao Baishi and Gou immediately knew what Xu Rui's intentions were.
Xu Rui clearly wanted to pretend that the seriously wounded were still marching with the army. On the one hand, it was for the safety of the two hundred seriously wounded so that the Japanese would not detect their whereabouts and retaliate. On the other hand, it was also to deceive the Japanese and make them
The commander seriously misjudged the marching speed of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army!
It must be admitted that Xu Rui is really an expert in tactical deception!
After placing the wounded, the soldiers of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army felt much more relaxed. However, Xu Rui suppressed the marching speed and did not let them go. As a result, they only walked less than 20 miles in two hours. At ten o'clock in the morning,
The roar of aircraft engines suddenly sounded in the sky above our heads, and then, two Japanese reconnaissance planes pierced through the clouds.
After discovering the marching column of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, two Japanese reconnaissance planes immediately swooped down.
Fortunately, Jiujiang is surrounded by large broad-leaved forests. Xu Rui immediately ordered the troops to evacuate and hide in the forest. Upon seeing this, the Japanese reconnaissance planes decisively pulled up the air and began to conduct surveillance.
(Dividing line)
The intelligence detected by the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft was quickly fed back to Itagaki Seishiro's headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Commander." A signal soldier hurriedly walked in and nodded to Seishiro Itagaki who was standing next to the map. "The aviation reconnaissance team reported that they discovered the whereabouts of the Sichuan Army near Yingpan Mountain!"
"Yo Xi." Kame Ueno waved his hand and motioned for the signal soldiers to get down.
After the signal corps went down, Kame Ueno quickly found Yingpan Mountain on the map, then pointed at Yingpan Mountain, turned to Seishiro Itagaki and said: "Commander, please look, Yingpan Mountain is here, about forty miles away from Jiujiang!"
"Yingpan Mountain? Forty miles?" Itagaki Seishiro narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and added, "The remnants of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army broke out at about one o'clock in the morning. It is now 10:30 in the morning, and it took almost nine hours to reach Forty Miles."
Although it is night, the intensity of the march is really unflattering."
"The marching speed of the Sichuan army is indeed a bit slow." Ueno Kamehao nodded and continued, "However, an army of only about 500 people carried nearly 200 seriously injured people, and it was also marching at night.
Traveling 40 miles in nine hours is almost at this level. After all, the physique of the Chinese army cannot be compared with that of the imperial army."
After a pause, Ueno Kamefu said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, with the speed of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, the Imperial Army has every chance to catch up with them and bite them. Why not order the 55th Infantry Regiment to speed up and catch up?"
After all, it seems inappropriate to follow them from such a distance. If they get a boat to cross Poyang Lake, it will be troublesome."
"There is no chance." Itagaki Seishiro said, "The Jiang Defense Detachment of the Navy's Third Fleet has entered Poyang Lake and will soon block the west bank of Poyang Lake. Even if the Sichuan Army's 799th Regiment obtains a ship, it will never have a chance to cross the lake!"
"Sodesnai." Ueno Kamehao suddenly said, "So, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army is really a turtle in the urn. No matter how hard it struggles, it is impossible to escape from the palm of your hand, Commander."
When Itagaki Seishiro heard this, he laughed with great satisfaction.
Before the laughter subsided, another signal soldier came in and reported that the 56th Infantry Regiment had arrived at Mahuiling Town.
After the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army broke through from Jiujiang, Seishiro Itagaki organized his troops into two detachments. One detachment was based on the 55th Infantry Regiment and was far behind the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army.
One detachment, with the 56th Infantry Regiment as the main force, rushed to Mahuiling Town and set up a net to wait.
After receiving the report, Ueno Kamefu immediately picked up a small red flag and planted it on Mahuiling Town.
Then after taking a few more glances at the map, Ueno Kame suddenly discovered that not far south from Yingpan Mountain was Xingzi County. His face changed slightly and he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Xingzi County is extremely empty right now. Do you want to start from there?"
The 56th Infantry Regiment will dispatch an infantry brigade to urgently return to defend Xingzi County?"
"Xingzi County?" Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and said, "It's just a county, don't pay attention. What's more, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army has now become a lost dog, so they will never have the guts to attack a county. After all, they don't
We know that the imperial army only has one infantry squad in Xingzi County!"
After a slight pause, Itagaki Seishiro continued: "What's more, if the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army really captures Xingzi County, it will be a good thing for the imperial army, because Xingzi County is surrounded by water on three sides.
The army only needs to block the north side, and the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army will be unable to fly."
