Immediately after the Feixi Incident, the Funing Incident occurred.
If the Feixi Incident was an emergency caused by Wan Xiangyun's greed, then the Funing Incident was an organized, premeditated and serious military provocation planned by the Supreme Command of the National Army. Its ultimate goal was
It eroded the New Fourth Army's base area in northern Jiangsu and finally eliminated the first detachment of the New Fourth Army led by Commander Chen Yi.
After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army shifted its focus from the frontal battlefield to the battlefield behind enemy lines, determined to do its best to encircle and suppress the guerrillas behind enemy lines led by the Communist Party, and to clean up the security situation in the occupied areas. In order to achieve this strategic goal, the Japanese government secretly reached out to the Nationalist Government.
He received an olive branch and proposed to cooperate with the National Army to jointly suppress the Communists.
On the surface, Chairman Chiang sternly refused, but in fact, he believed that the time had come to wipe out the Communist Party, and instructed the National Army in various battlefields behind enemy lines to take over the Eighth Route Army, the base area where the New Fourth Army was founded. The reason was also quite high-sounding: the Communist Party's border areas were limited to Shaanxi and Gansu.
Ning, there are no border areas in other areas.
Xu Rui tried his best to curb the provocations of Chairman Chiang and the National Army by severely attacking Wan Xiangyun's 32nd Army, but in fact, Xu Rui's efforts did not achieve what he hoped to see.
As a result, Chairman Chiang did not give up the idea of suppressing the Communist Party, but became even more crazy!
The Nationalist Army suffered losses on the battlefield in central Anhui, so they wanted to make up for it on other battlefields.
Soon, the Kuomintang army launched simultaneous attacks on four battlefields: Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Shanxi, southeastern Shanxi, and northern Jiangsu.
In the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, southern Hu Zong sent troops to occupy more than a dozen counties including Chunhua, Zhengning, and Ningxian; in Shanxi, Yan Xishan's troops launched an attack on the anti-Japanese desperate column; in the mountainous area of southeastern Shanxi, Shi Yousan and Zhu Huaibing's troops
They even cooperated with the Japanese and puppet troops to launch a raid on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army; the Soviet Union's Deloitte Department also captured Funing.
At the beginning, the Communist Party repeatedly made concessions. In order to maintain the anti-Japanese united front, the Communist Party did not hesitate to abandon five counties in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. In Shanxi and the southeastern Shanxi battlefield, the Communist Party also repeatedly made concessions. However, the Communist Party’s forbearance did not win the victory of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang.
The goodwill of the army actually made the National Army become more aggressive.
It was against this background that Han Deqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater of the National Army and commander of the 89th Army, boldly ordered to take over the New Fourth Army's northern Jiangsu base area. When the New Fourth Army sternly refused, Han Deqin dispatched
Three armies, including the 89th Army, with nearly 30,000 troops, invaded Funing County.
Funing County was an important military town in the northern Jiangsu base area at that time.
It just so happened that the batch of donkey skins purchased by the Dameishan Military Division from the Central Shandong Base was detained when they were passing through Funing Town. Also detained was Xiao Yanyue, the Logistics Minister sent by the Military Division to purchase donkey skins.
When the news came back to the Dameishan Military Division, Leng Tiefeng was immediately furious, and Xu Rui was also furious, because this batch of donkey skins was of great importance to their Dameishan Military Division. It is no exaggeration to say that these donkey skins can
Whether it can be transported to the Dameishan Division in time will directly determine whether the Langya Brigade can train a group of masters within half a year!
And if the Dameishan division cannot cultivate a group of masters within half a year, once Oluhara Junsi comes with a special operations brigade composed of ninjas, the trouble will be big! At that time, the Langya brigade
Not to mention having the upper hand, being able to draw a tie is already a blessing.
Therefore, as soon as they received the news, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng rushed to northern Jiangsu with the Langya Brigade, not even bothering to eat the family reunion dinner.
It is more than 600 miles from Meixian to Funing in northern Jiangsu, but the Langya Brigade only took two days and nights to complete the journey.
At noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Rui, Leng Tiefeng and more than a hundred people from the Langya Brigade rushed to Yancheng County, northern Jiangsu, and met with the Northern Jiangsu Military Region Headquarters stationed in Yongfeng Town, Yancheng County.
The North Jiangsu Military Region was established by Commander Chen Yi and the main force of the First Team of the New Fourth Army.
After nearly a year of development, the Northern Jiangsu Military Region has four divisions, the number of troops has grown to more than 20,000, and the control scope of the base area has also expanded to ten counties. Although the momentum cannot be compared with the Central Jiangsu Military Region created by Commander Li Yu
Comparable, but even worse than Dameishan Military Division.
"Commander Chen!" Xu Rui stood at attention and saluted Commander Chen Yi.
"Are you Xu Rui?" Commander Chen Yi came up to greet him and said in return, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age."
"In front of Commander Chen, how can I dare to call myself a hero? I'm just a brat at best." Xu Rui chuckled, and then took a serious look at the legendary commander in front of him.
In Xu Rui's mind, Chen Yi is a legendary coach.
Marshal Chen Yi's military talent is not the most outstanding among the top ten marshals of the Republic, but he always made outstanding contributions at critical moments for the party, especially after the main transfer of the Central Red Army, he insisted on staying in the south to lead the guerrilla war.
At the most difficult moment when he was seriously injured, he wrote a magnificent and popular poem.
How does it feel today to be beheaded?
Starting a business is hard and full of battles.
I'm going to Quantai to recruit old troops.
One hundred thousand banners kill Yama.
This poem can be said to vividly show the handsome man's style.
But in fact, at this time, Marshal Chen Yi was about to be forty years old, and his forehead was still green.
"Kid?" Marshal Chen Yi chuckled and said humorously, "You are implying that I am old and should leave the revolutionary stage to you young people, right?"
"Uh?" Xu Rui could only scratch his head when he heard this.
"Xiao Xu, your Langya Brigade arrived just in time." Compared with Commander Li Yu, Commander Chen Yi was much more humorous and more easy-going in front of Xu Rui. He put his arms around Xu Rui's shoulders and said familiarly.
, "As early as in southern Anhui, I have heard about the name of your Langya Brigade. They said that you went straight into the enemy's millions of soldiers as if you were in an uninhabited land, and beheading the enemy chieftains was like searching for something. Just listening,
I feel like my blood is boiling."
Xu Rui quickly said: "Commander Chen, it's not that exaggerated."
"Of course I know it's not that exaggerated. There are no martial arts masters in this world who can fly over walls and walls." Commander Chen Yi chuckled and continued, "However, your Langya Brigade is a special force that is very good at special operations. This is not the case."
It is an indisputable fact. In past battles, your Langya Brigade has repeatedly created miracles on the battlefield. This is also a fact."
Xu Rui did not deny it this time, but just smiled. This was also a change brought about by him after traveling through time.
In another real time and space, during the Second World War, only a few military powers such as the German Army, the US Army, and the Japanese Army had special forces. As for China, let alone the formation of special forces, even
I don't even know what special forces are.
But now, regardless of the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, due to the emergence of the Spike Force, special forces are no longer unfamiliar things. Now the Communist Party's Eighth Route Army and various anti-Japanese base areas of the New Fourth Army are trying to form special forces, and they are all dispatched to the Dameishan Military Division.
A telegram came in, asking Xu Rui to send one or two Lang Ya to serve as instructors.
Commander Chen Yi's Northern Jiangsu Military Region was no exception and also sent a telegram to the Dameishan Division.
Xu Rui's visit this time gave Coach Chen Yi a first-come-first-served opportunity.
Commander Chen Yi said: "Xiao Xu, to tell you the truth, our Northern Jiangsu Military Region has also selected more than a hundred masters with martial arts background from all military regions to form a special force. However, we always feel that this special force
What are the shortcomings of the army? You just happened to be here this time. This is a rare opportunity. You have to give me some guidance no matter what."
"Commander Chen, of course there is no problem with this." Xu Rui agreed readily.
"Okay, cool." Marshal Chen Yi said happily, "As for the donkey skin, you don't have to worry, our Northern Jiangsu Military Region will definitely do our best to help you get it back."
Xu Rui immediately became energetic and lowered his voice and asked: "Commander Chen, have you decided to fight?"
"I'm afraid we can't escape this time, we have to fight." Marshal Chen Yi nodded and said, "The Party Central Committee in Yan'an has also given instructions, asking us to resolutely fight back against the provocation of the stubborn troops. Just yesterday, Mr. Peng from Taihang Mountain
We have already commanded the main force of the 129th Division and completely annihilated the three divisions of the stubborn Shi Yousan and Zhu Huaibing."
"That's great." Xu Rui said, "These die-hards should be severely attacked!"
"You're right, you can't be polite to the die-hards." Commander Chen Yi added, "However, Han Deqin came with great force this time. He mobilized three armies and nearly 30,000 people, but our troops from the Northern Jiangsu Army
They are still scattered in various counties, and it will take a few more days to complete the assembly, so you have to wait a few more days."
Upon hearing this, Leng Tiefeng's face immediately fell.
If Xiao Yanyue is detained for one more day, he will undoubtedly be in more danger.
Xu Rui saw the worried look on Leng Tiefeng's face and said, "Commander Chen, let's do this. I'll take the Langya Brigade to feel out Han Deqin's bottom first, and if there's a chance, I'll rescue him directly."
"You want to rescue people directly?" Commander Chen Yi asked worriedly, "Isn't this too risky?"
After a pause, Marshal Chen Yi added: "The die-hards of the Kuomintang are already at odds with us, and Han Deqin is even more reactionary. If he knows that you went to his lair, Xiao Xu, I'm afraid...
I won’t let you go easily, otherwise we should wait until our troops from the Northern Jiangsu Military Region are assembled and go together?”
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Commander Chen, please don't worry, we will be careful."
Seeing that Xu Rui had made up his mind, and considering the past glorious achievements of the Langya Brigade, Commander Chen Yi nodded and said: "Since you have made up your mind, Xiao Xu, I won't say any more. It just so happens that Luzhong Military Region
The Flying Tigers are also in our Northern Jiangsu Military Region, so let the Flying Tigers go to Funing with you so that we can take care of each other."
