Shigetori Shigetori was only half right. Wan Xiangyun was indeed unwilling to fail and indeed transferred the main force of the 32nd Army to Feixi. However, it was not the 30th Army who made the surprise attack on Feixi Town and ambushed the Japanese transport team.
The troops of the Second Group Army were the newly formed Feixi Independent Regiment of the Dameishan Military Division.
Almost at the same time that Naosaburo Okabe and the others knew the news, Wan Xiangyun and the others also found out.
It has to be said that Dai Li is still somewhat capable. After the Fuxing Society Operations Office was reorganized into the Juntong, the combat effectiveness increased greatly. The Juntong spies lurking in Feixi Town captured Feixi Town at the first opportunity, and the Japanese transport
News was reported that the team was ambushed, and it was determined that it was the work of Feixi bandits.
After receiving the report, Xia Hanzhong and Wang Xiyuan were immediately furious.
"Damn it!" Xia Hanzhong said angrily, "We fought fiercely with the Japs in Feixi for a whole day and night, and finally disabled the little Japs in Feixi, but in the end we let these bandits take advantage, which is annoying
, so irritating!”
"The advantages of our Thirty-Second Army are not so easy to pick up." Wang Xiyuan said fiercely, "Whatever they eat, they have to spit it out!"
Li Mutang frowned and said, "Should we reflect more on why a group of bandits from Feixi were able to capture Feixi Town without a single blow, and then quietly ambush the Japs' transport team, while we used three divisions of troops?
, but failed to capture Feixi Town, and instead allowed the Japanese to be defeated?"
"I disagree with what the Chief of Staff said." Wang Xiyuan said, "If it weren't for the Japanese reinforcements arriving, we would have captured Feixi Town long ago. Also, if it weren't for the unreliable independent brigade you created.
, gave way to the Feinan stronghold, how could our three main divisions be defeated? As for these bandits, if it weren't for the Japanese reinforcements going to Badou Town again, or if it weren't for the Feixi defenders asking us to give up in the previous battle.
Even if they are disabled, they still want to capture Feixi? Just dream!"
Wang Xiyuan said this very rudely, almost placing all the responsibility for Feixi's defeat on Li Mutang.
Li Mutang was not easy to get along with either. He said coldly: "I heard a saying that losers will always make excuses for themselves, while winners will always look for their own shortcomings. From Commander Wang, I seem to
I somewhat understand why our 32nd Army failed in the battle at Feixi Town."
Wang Xiyuan said angrily: "Li Mutang, what do you mean by this?"
Li Mutang sneered: "Commander Wang, isn't what I said the truth?"
"Li Motang, please stop throwing dirty water on me." Wang Xiyuan said angrily, "The reason why Feixi lost this battle is because you Li Motang misemployed people and commanded poorly. You have nothing to do with our 73rd Army.
Relationship! Our 73rd Army has already tried its best, and it is impossible to do any better."
Li Mutang said: "So, your 73rd Army's defeat is justified?"
Wang Xiyuan said: "That's not because you from Li Motang stabbed me in the back."
Li Mutang said: "Wang Xiyuan, please be careful when you speak to me. Who belongs to whom? We are all members of the party-state!"
"Don't do this." Wang Xiyuan said coldly, "Don't think that we don't understand your little thoughts. Isn't it that you tried so hard to recruit Feixi's gang of bandits to lure them as your reinforcements?
Lest you have no soldiers to use? It's just a pity that these bandits are really useless and can only do bad things."
Li Mutang said: "The bandits in Feixi were muddy and could not climb the wall, but they finally captured Feixi. Your 73rd Army is the elite of the party and state, but the Japanese defeated them in Feixi. Doesn't this mean that you 73rd Army are the elite of the party and state?"
Are the three armies worse than dirt? It seems that Commander Wang is quite self-aware!"
Wang Xiyuan became anxious and said angrily: "Li Mutang, can you say it again and try?"
Li Mutang sneered and said, "So what if I just say it ten times?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Wan Xiangyun frowned and said, "As a senior general of the party and state, he curses like a common man in the street, and he is not afraid of being laughed at if he spreads the word."
Xia Hanzhong also stopped Wang Xiyuan, who was furious.
Wan Xiangyun continued: "At present, most of China's rivers and mountains have fallen. Our Thirty-second Group Army is alone behind the enemy and is ordered to defend the Dabie Mountains. The situation is really dangerous. One of you is the chief of staff of the group army, and the other is the commander.
It is even more important to unite sincerely and tide over the difficulties. How can we criticize each other and create divisions?"
Li Mutang quickly adjusted his mood and said: "What the president said is absolutely true. He is humble and reckless."
With Wan Xiangyun coming forward to change things, Wang Xiyuan said nothing more, but the account with Li Mutang had already been recorded.
Wan Xiangyun added: "What Chief of Staff Li said just now is right. We do have a lot to sum up in this Feixi defeat. However, brother Nishihara is not wrong either. Our 32nd Group Army's
It’s definitely not easy to find something cheap. Whatever they eat, they have to spit it out!"
Li Mutang asked: "Chief, what do you mean?"
Wan Xiangyun smiled coldly and said, "We'll attack Feixi Town again! Let those bandits spit out all the benefits that should belong to us!"
Li Mutang frowned slightly and said: "But, Chief, this is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the entire nation is united in facing the outside world. It doesn't seem good for us to provoke friction like this, right?"
"The Chief of Staff is wrong again." Wang Xiyuan said coldly, "We are only dealing with the bandits in Feixi, not the Communist Party's troops. How can we provoke friction?"
Li Mutang said: "But this group of bandits has been integrated into the Dameishan Independent Regiment and even has a designation."
"Being incorporated by the Dameishan Independent Group? Do you even have a designation?" Wang Xiyuan said, "Has the party-state recognized it?"
Li Mutang smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it is impossible to admit this, but the Communist Party has always done this."
"The Communist Party has always done this, so we have to acquiesce?" Wang Xiyuan said, "Chief of Staff, I don't know if you just said it casually or if you really think so in your heart. If you really think so, then I have to doubt you.
Regarding your political stance, are you the Chief of Staff of the 32nd Group Army or the Chief of Staff of the Dameishan Independent Regiment?"
As soon as Wang Xiyuan's big hat was taken off, Li Mutang didn't dare to say anything more.
Wang Xiyuan added: "Besides, what if it provokes friction? The Communist Party's troops are just friendly forces in the civilian world. When the Anti-Japanese War is over, sooner or later it will still have to be resolved. At present, the Japanese army is no longer able to launch a frontal attack. We
The National Army took this opportunity to eliminate the Communist troops."
"Nishihara is right!" Wan Xiangyun made the final decision, "That's it!"
After a slight pause, Wan Xiangyun added: "In this battle, the 73rd Army and the 79th Army are still responsible for the main attack, and the 49th Army is responsible for protecting the flanks."
(Dividing line)
In Feixi Town, the fighting has ended. The last small group of Japanese who resisted have been eliminated. The bandits of the Feixi Independent Regiment have begun to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing the trucks and flatbeds blocking the entire road, the bandits of the Independent Regiment were extremely excited.
A bandit leader excitedly climbed onto a truck, pulled out his bayonet and slashed the tarp twice, then tore off the cracked tarp, immediately revealing stacks of large wooden crates underneath.
He immediately climbed into the carriage and used a bayonet to pry open one of the wooden crates, only to see grenades neatly placed inside.
"My dear, they are all filled with melon grenades!" The bandit leader immediately shouted excitedly, "My dear, all the grenades in this car are filled with melon grenades!"
"Shut up, you big boss, call me the leader, call me the leader!" Tang Kaishan climbed onto the truck, slapped the bandit leader on the back of the head, and then said with a smile, "Damn, you little devil.
The melon grenades are good stuff. Come here, unload these grenades for me and bring them all back to the village."
After Tang Kaishan finished speaking, a dozen young men swarmed forward and began to unload the wooden crates.
Just as he was halfway through unloading, Lei Xiang came over and quickly stopped him: "Brother Tang, stop unloading, put it back!"
"Don't unload it?" Tang Kaishan said blankly, "If you don't unload it, how can you take it away? How can you transport it back to the village?"
Lei Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Tang, together with the materials seized in Feixi Town and this batch of arms, do you know how much the total is?"
Tang Kaishan really didn't know, so he immediately asked: "How many are there?"
"It's thousands of tons at least!" Lei Xiang said, "If we transport them all back to Qipanzhai, it will take at least two days and tens of thousands of people. But our independent group only has less than 2,000 people in total. It's even worse.
Unfortunately, we don't have time at all, because Wan Xiangyun's 32nd Army is back again."
"The 32nd Army is back again?" Tang Kaishan said, "What do they want to do?"
"What else can we do?" Lei Xiang said coldly, "Of course he is jealous because he knows that we captured Feixi City and ambushed the Japs' transport team, and got so many benefits!"
Tang Kaishan said angrily: "You want to hit our autumn wind?"
Lei Xiang sneered and said: "I'm afraid it's not just a simple attempt to defeat our Qiufeng, Wan Xiangyun probably wants to wipe out our Feixi Independent Group as well."
"Still want to destroy our Feixi Independent Group?" Tang Kaishan said coldly, "That depends on whether he has such a good mouth!"
Lei Xiang said: "If we don't have these supplies, we can leave at any time, but now that there are so many supplies, we may not be able to leave in a hurry. We have no choice but to fight with them in Feixi Town!"
"Fuck you." Tang Kaishan said, "Are we still afraid of them?"
Lei Xiang added: "So we won't unload these supplies yet. We will load them into trucks and drive into the town to hide them. After repelling the 32nd Army, it will not be too late to transport them back to the village."
"Okay." Tang Kaishan nodded and said, "I will listen to you."
