In fact, there was no need for Tang Kaishan and the others to look for him, Li Mutang came to him himself.
However, coming with Li Motang were the 98th Division and the 108th Division of Xia Hanzhong's 79th Army, and the 15th Division of Wang Xiyuan's 73rd Army.
Wan Xiangyun's 32nd Group Army only has three armies and seven divisions in total. In order to attack Feicheng this time, one guy dispatched three main divisions. It can be said that it was a big fight. But then again, after passing
After two consecutive battles, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan, it was difficult to find another fully-equipped division among the more than two hundred divisions of the National Army.
The 32nd Group Army has three corps and seven divisions, with a total of more than 50,000 people. This is the number after it was stationed in the Dabie Mountains. When it first entered the Dabie Mountains, the 32nd Group Army even had less than 50,000 people.
Thirty thousand people were, at best, the strength of an infantry corps before the Battle of Songhu.
This time, the 32nd Army dispatched a total of three divisions with nearly 20,000 troops. The Army Chief of Staff Li Motang served as the former enemy commander. The 73rd Army Commander Wang Xiyuan and the 79th Army Commander Xia Hanzhong served as commanders.
Deputy Commander, the former enemy headquarters is located in Sihe Township in Shu County, only twenty miles away from Qipanzhai.
When Tang Kaishan led more than 20 bandit leaders from the Feixi Eighteen Villages to Sihe Township in an aggressive manner, Li Motang's former enemy headquarters had just been settled.
Li Motang received Tang Kaishan and his party at his temporary headquarters.
"Master Tang, and all the masters, I'm really sorry." Li Mutang said with a smile, "Because we have just arrived, and the headquarters has just been established, everything is still in a mess, you see, even the mouth is hot
There is no water, I’m really neglecting you, I’m neglecting you all.”
Xia Hanzhong and Wang Xiyuan sat nearby and watched with cold eyes.
If Xia Hanzhong and Wang Xiyuan want to follow the wishes of Xia Hanzhong and Wang Xiyuan, they should directly arrest and kill the more than 20 bandit leaders Tang Kaishan, and then forcibly integrate more than 3,000 bandits from Feixi Shiba Village. Then everything will be fine. From now on, Fei
There are less than 20 groups of bandits in the west who are robbing homes and houses, but the 32nd Army has an independent division.
However, Li Mutang firmly opposed this and insisted on negotiating with Tang Kaishan and others.
Xia Hanzhong and Wang Xiyuan could only obey. After all, Li Motang was the former enemy's commander.
Li Motang was good at dancing and was very good at dealing with people. Unfortunately, Tang Kaishan didn't like this at all.
Tang Kaishan said coldly: "Chief of Staff Li, I, Old Tang, always go straight to the point and don't like to beat around the bush, so don't blame me for having a bad mouth. We are here today only for one thing."
Li Mutang laughed and said: "Master Tang, please speak. Li is all ears."
Tang Kaishan looked back at the more than 20 bandit leaders standing behind him and said, "I hope Chief of Staff Li can return the batch of arms that originally belonged to us."
Li Mutang was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Master Tang, I don't understand what you mean."
Tang Kaishan hummed and said, "That batch of munitions you intercepted at Fengshu Pass should be ours."
"Ah?" Li Motang was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't understand the logic of the bandits, but Xia Hanzhong next to him was furious, "You want arms? Okay, ask me if I have the gun in my hand."
promise."
After saying that, Xia Hanzhong pulled out the Browning pistol from the holster and aimed it at Tang Kaishan.
Tang Kaishan has traveled around the world for so many years, so of course he would not be frightened by Xia Hanzhong with just a few words.
At that moment, Tang Kaishan turned his head and glanced at Xia Hanzhong, and said sadly: "So, your 32nd Army is not going to hand over this batch of arms?"
Xia Hanzhong said coldly: "You are about to die, and you still want arms?"
Tang Kaishan raised his chest to face Xia Hanzhong's gun and said, "How about you try shooting?"
Xia Hanzhong's eyes narrowed suddenly, and Leng Sensen said: "Do you think I don't dare to shoot?"
After saying that, Xia Hanzhong is about to shoot and kill. He is considered a veteran who has experienced many battles. What kind of scene has he never seen? Will he still care about the threat of a mere bandit?
However, just when Xia Hanzhong was about to pull the trigger, a figure stood in front of him.
"Who are you?" Xia Hanzhong looked coldly at the figure standing in front of him.
"I'm nothing." Lei Xiang faced Xia Hanzhong's gun and said forcefully, "I am Lei Xiang, the newly formed Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, deputy captain of Feixi Independent Brigade of Dameishan Independent Regiment!
It has been some time since the Dameishan Independent Regiment was upgraded from a regiment-level unit to a Dameishan military subdivision. However, this is an upgrade within the CCP system. The National Government and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs will never recognize it. On the organizational list of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, it has always been
There is only Dameishan Independent Regiment but no Dameishan Military Division.
In fact, the Nationalist Government did not even want to officially recognize the Dameishan Independence Group.
However, due to the great influence of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, in the end they could only hold their noses and acquiesce. However, the Nationalist Government would never recognize the subsequent upgrade of the Dameishan Independent Regiment from a regiment-level unit to a military division. In fact,
, the military regions and military subdivisions established by the Communist Party in North and Central China will not be recognized by the National Government.
Therefore, on the organizational list of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, there has always been only the Dameishan Independent Regiment.
"Feixi Independent Brigade?" Xia Hanzhong said coldly, "Why have I only heard that Dameishan Independent Regiment only has three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion, but I have never heard that there is such a number as Feixi Independent Brigade?
"
Lei Xiang smiled slightly and said: "Then you have heard now that this is an army that has just been formed."
"The army has just been formed?" Xia Hanzhong said, "Have you obtained permission from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs? If you expand armaments without permission from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, it is a serious crime and should be punished by firing squad!"
Tang Kaishan and other bandit leaders were frightened by Xia Hanzhong, but they were not afraid of the thunder.
Now Lei Xiang is no longer the little bandit leader he used to be. After following Xu Rui for so long, he has already seen the big world and received a lot of knowledge. He calmly replied: "This officer's memory shows that
It's not a good idea to come, but it doesn't matter. I'm telling you the same thing now. According to the six agreements reached during the Chongqing negotiations, our Communist Party's armed forces will not accept the command of the National Government and will go deep behind enemy lines to carry out an independent resistance movement. Therefore
, our Communist Party’s armed forces do not need permission from the Ministry of Military Affairs to expand their forces.”
"Are you teaching me a lesson? Boy." Xia Hanzhong said coldly, "Believe it or not, I will kill you right now."
Lei Xiang was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Then you might as well shoot, but I think it is necessary to remind you that our leader is a man who must retaliate, so you can imagine the consequences of killing me.
"
"Are you threatening me? I didn't want to kill anyone at first, but after you said that, it seems that it's really impossible not to kill people today." After Xia Hanzhong finished speaking, he put down the Browning pistol, first pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet.
Load the gun, and then put the black muzzle of the gun against Lei Xiang's head again.
Xia Hanzhong really had murderous intentions.
Because at this time, frictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were continuing on various battlefields, and Wan Xiangyun's 32nd Army was already eager to take action against the Dameishan Independent Regiment.
Lei Xiang was not afraid and stared at Xia Hanzhong coldly.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Motang stepped in to smooth things over.
"Okay, brother Hanzhong, calm down and leave this matter to me, okay?" Li Motang first pushed Xia Hanzhong to the next door, and then walked back, but ignored the thunder and said to Tang Kaishan and others
More than 20 bandit leaders said, "Everyone in charge, I have something to say from the bottom of my heart. I wonder if you want to hear it?"
Tang Kaishan ignored Li Motang, but Xiao Tianhu said coldly: "If you fart, hurry up!"
Xiao Tianhu is Lei Xiang's sworn brother, and he is venting his anger on Lei Xiang's behalf.
Li Motang was not angry and said with a smile: "That's it. What I said before in Qipanzhai is still valid. If all the leaders are willing to bring their brothers to join our National Army, our 32nd Army can immediately provide an independent division."
No., in addition to a chief of staff assigned to the group army headquarters, the rest of the division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders and other positions will be filled by your leaders and your brothers."
After a pause, Li Motang continued: "In addition, the group army headquarters will also provide the independent division with a full set of weapons and equipment, and I can also assure you that you will be given at least half a year of training time. Within half a year, the group army will
The headquarters will never assign any combat mission to the independent division."
If it were yesterday, Li Motang would never have been able to provide this condition, but it is different now. Now they have just seized a large amount of Japanese weapons and equipment and ammunition in Maple Au, so the 32nd Army already has a surplus of weapons and equipment.
It can be used to equip independent divisions. Of course, the prerequisite is that the bandits in Feixi accept their recruitment.
As soon as he heard this, Lei Xiang knew that something bad was going to happen most likely.
After all, these guys are still bandits, and they are all profit-oriented!
At present, the Dameishan Military Division can no longer provide any other benefits except the empty designation of an independent regiment. The benefits that the National Army can give them, in addition to the designation of the independent division, include the weapons and equipment of an entire division. Two clicks.
After a comparison, these bandit leaders couldn't help but feel moved.
As expected, after hearing Li Mutang's words, the eyes of many bandit leaders present began to flicker.
The master of Shuanglongzhai, Iron Rooster, who was always good at calculations, even pulled Tang Kaishan to the side of the hall and started talking in a low voice. However, Tang Kaishan's voice soon became louder and he cursed: "Iron Rooster, you fucking
Just this little eye-catching? The National Army bribed you with so few benefits?"
Tie Gongji's face turned red after being scolded by Tang Kaishan, and he was even more angry inside. He's the boss of the family, so why are you scolding me like you're lecturing your grandson?
At that moment, Tie Gongji was furious and said: "Tang Kaishan, a wise man is a man who knows the current affairs! You don't want to live a good life, but don't stop everyone."
