Chapter 1440: More confidence
Guo Zhuocheng wants to compete with the Central Army in the current territory, understand the combat effectiveness of the Central Army, see their equipment, and at the same time test whether they can transport materials from that time and space in 1991 and make good use of them.
"Report!" Just when Guo Zhuocheng was thinking nonsense, a figure appeared in front of Guo Zhuocheng.
Guo Zhuocheng looked up, smiled, and said, "Hehe, it's not fun to fight, right?" ”
Chen Peng put down his saluted hand and said, "The fighters have some opinions. They say you've kept us lurking for so long, and you're having a lot of fun, but we can only stare dryly. When you finally gave the order, we thought we could do a big job, but we didn't fight them a few times, knowing that we could kill them, and you also ordered to bombard them with artillery, which didn't make us unhappy? Song Jun said he didn't shoot any of the officers. ”
Guo Zhuocheng said with a smile: "These officers are all treasures, if they are caught, they can be exchanged for money, and they can be exchanged for our captured Red Army soldiers, where can they be killed by you as targets?" Okay, don't be a mother-in-law. Go and do things quickly, select people from the whole army to form a special operations unit, except for me, Luo Xi, Sun Xingguo, Sheng Guozhen, you can choose whoever you want. I just want the result, regardless of the process. ”
"Yes!" Chen Peng saw that Guo Zhuocheng had given the task, and immediately stood up and saluted.
Guo Zhuocheng is very clear about the ability of Chen Peng and others, and there is no need for him to interfere in the formation of special operations forces.
Luo Xi couldn't go to the special operations unit because he wanted to form an artillery unit, and this time the 44th Division was annihilated and captured 15 intact artillery pieces, and more than 30 artillery pieces were enough to form a good artillery battalion.
Sun Xingguo couldn't go to the special operations unit because Guo Shucheng needed a guard with enough skills to use his sensitive hearing. It can nip assassinations, sneak attacks, and so on in the bud. And Guo knew that he would have to leave his job often. To go to the era of 1991, there had to be someone to replace him when he left.
Although Chen Peng is stronger than Sun Xingguo in terms of overall situation, Sun Xingguo has always stayed by his side, he understands and understands his intentions better, and it is easier to maintain the continuity of command. Moreover, in Guo Zhuocheng's view, the significance of forming a special operations unit now is very important, and it can completely defeat any army today. Able to undertake any dangerous mission, and in the future, he can also show his might on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
After Chen Peng left, Guo Shucheng asked Chen Xiaoqi to bring paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. At the beginning of the letter, Guo Zhuocheng directly stated his identity, and frankly admitted that he was the "culprit" who annihilated the four regiments, including the 44th Division of the Gui Army, and then directly offered to do a big deal with them. The business consists of two main items:
First, the two sides exchanged prisoners, that is, the Gui army handed over their captured Red Army, and the special task force handed over the captured officers and men of the 44th Division. Second, Gui Jun assigned Guanyang County to the Einsatzgruppen to gain a foothold here. In return. The Red Army pledged not to take the initiative to attack the Gui Army, and to block any third-party military forces that wanted to enter Guangxi from Guò Guanyang County.
Of course. At the end of the letter, Guo Zhuocheng also threatened the other party, if the Gui army was unwilling to make this deal, Guo Zhuocheng would not care about doing it himself, and achieved these two goals: to recover the captured Red officers and soldiers and occupy Guanyang County.
At the end of the letter, the frequency of the radio station that could be used for communication between the two parties was also indicated, and a deadline was set for the other party's reply: 12 noon on December 2.
After writing it, Guo Zhuocheng handed the letter to a captured company-level officer, announced on the spot the release of this officer, who was related to Commander Xia Wei, and sent someone to escort him to the Gui army's position. The other party also tearfully promised to bring the letter, and said that he would persuade Commander Xia Wei to accept Guo Shucheng's conditions.
Although he had not seen the contents of the letter, he could guess the general meaning of it.
Guo Zhuocheng smiled, and after letting people take him out, he took Sun Xingguo to comfort the troops and visit the wounded and sick.
Although the battle to annihilate the 44th Gui Army was brilliant, the losses of Guo Zhuocheng's troops were very small, and the wounded and sick inside were mainly those Red officers and soldiers who had been sheltered before, and there were also many wounded soldiers of the Gui Army.
Just when Guo Zhuocheng looked at the painful expressions of the wounded and thought in his heart whether he could bring some medicines from the era of 1991, especially anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, Chen Xiaoqi hurriedly ran over and handed him a sealed telegram marked with the word "extremely secret".
Guo Zhuocheng walked to a place where no one was, tore open the telegram envelope, and took a look at the contents inside, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The telegram was sent to him by General Peng personally in the name of the commander of the Third Army Corps of the Red Army, and the content was that he agreed with Guo Zhuocheng's battle plan and that he could decide the actions of the troops on his own, and at the same time strictly ordered the special task force not to hand over command to anyone without receiving a clear telegram from the head of the corps, and not to accept any order that violated the action plan of the commander of the special operation team.
Guo Zhuocheng knew that this was the sword of Shang Fang given to him by President Peng, which eliminated possible interference from all sides for him, and gave him more autonomy by assuming the possible accusation that he exceeded his authority and did not act according to the organization's assistance.
In the telegram, Mr. Peng ordered him to announce the telegram to the relevant cadres, and if necessary, it could also be made public.
While the special task force was resting and recuperating and cleaning up the seized materials, the artillery on both sides of the Xiang River was still rumbling in the distance, and the Red officers and men who were lagging behind were still fighting fiercely with the Kuomintang-Party Central Committee-Army, the Gui Army, and the Hunan Army. The Red officers and men were trying their best to break through the blockade of the Kuomintang troops, trying to open the blockade that had just been established by the other side, so as to catch up with the main Red Army, which had already left.
On the one hand, the Kuomintang army sent strong troops to chase after the main force of the Red Army that had fled in a hurry, and on the other hand, it left a large number of troops desperately to block and resolutely prevent those Red officers and men who had been cut off from breaking through the encirclement.
However, the Gui army, which was storming the back of the Red Army, suddenly withdrew, ran away as if its butt was on fire, and soon disappeared without a trace. The frightened and undecided Red Army soldiers were inexplicable and did not know what was going on behind the scenes. Some of the troops were a little stronger, and seeing that there was no threat from the Gui army behind them, they transferred all the troops after the break to the front and attacked the central army or the Hunan army in front, hoping to take advantage of this favorable opportunity to open a gap and break through the encirclement to catch up with the large army.
On the other hand, the troops that were slightly weaker, or had already run out of ammunition and food, and had no strength to fight a battle, judged that the front was still full of dangers, and that there was a gap in the rear, they constantly did not transfer the rearguard troops to the front to fight the Central Army or the Hunan Army, but instead turned the direction and moved their troops in the opposite direction along the gap left by the retreat of the Gui Army.
In the eyes of the commanders of these troops, the reason why the Gui army retreated at this critical moment must have encountered some problems, and some people heard the sound of artillery and gunfire on the side of Matouling, so they concluded that there should be their own friendly troops here, and they should move closer to them first, and then say, no matter what, they will take a breath first, and if it is really not possible, they will go back to fight guerrillas.
What they didn't expect was that when they returned like this, they were really crooked, and many people joined up with Guo Zhuocheng's special task force.
Guo Zhuocheng, who received the report below, also found that it was not time for his troops to rest, and there were still many Red Army soldiers in danger waiting for his troops to be rescued. He believed that if his army could take advantage of the current chaos of the Gui army to attack, perhaps it would really be able to rescue many Red Army soldiers who were in a desperate situation along the river, greatly increase the proportion of Red Army soldiers in his own troops, and improve the purity and combat effectiveness of the troops.
Although his troops are now very tired and in need of rest, although there are still many soldiers in his troops who have not yet fully returned to their hearts, many post-war matters have not yet been dealt with, and even the newly captured Gui army is in danger of rebellion, but for the sake of the future, Guo Zhuocheng decided to let go.
Therefore, he immediately ordered Zhuang Zongquan and Chen Peng to lead the elite troops to sneak to the riverside by taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was still unclear about the results of the battle at Matouling, and asked them to do their best to rescue the predicamented Red Army by harassing a strong enemy and attacking when encountering a weak enemy.
Chen Peng's work of selecting capable soldiers to join the special combat team was carried out by the Song army.
After sending off those troops, Guo Zhuocheng himself had no choice but to put down other tasks and go all out with some backbone members of the Red Army to deal with the things that must be done after the war, such as cleaning up weapons and ammunition, escorting prisoners to places where they can be controlled, screening out hidden officers in the ranks, and eliminating those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble......
Guo Zhuocheng hoped that Zhuang Zongquan and Chen Peng could contact the Red 34th Division, because this division had super combat effectiveness and a very firm will, and in history they were completely annihilated in the Xiangjiang Campaign, and only a few of the thousands of troops escaped from the enemy's encirclement, and most of the officers and soldiers died heroically.
What he didn't know was that because of the arrival of the seven of them, because of the victories of the troops he led at Gulingtou and Matouling, the Red 34th Division did not suffer as much enemy pressure as it had encountered in history.
On the way to Gulingtou to support the 18th Red Regiment, they received a telegram from the central authorities, ordering them to abandon support for the 18th Red Regiment and directly cross the river to catch up with the main force of the Red Army.
After receiving this order, they naturally did not drill into the enemy's encirclement again, but resolutely attacked the junction of the Gui Army and the Central Army, and rushed all the way to the edge of the Xiangjiang River regardless of sacrifice.
Although they inevitably encountered the interception of the Kuomintang-Party-Central Army and the pursuit of the Gui army in the rear, they were forced to divide their troops into two routes, one way bravely broke through the position of the Central Army-and forcibly crossed the river, and all the way left to desperately block the pursuit of the Gui army.
