"Ladies and gentlemen, today the commissioner proposed to convene an emergency meeting, and I agreed."

Han Deqin looked at the people present and said, "Commissioner Meng is not only responsible for the distribution of materials, but also represents the commission. Commissioner Meng, please speak. ”

Lecture?

The title of the special observer in the chairman's chamber still has a little effect.

Meng Shaoyuan was also not polite, and cleared his throat: "Everyone, Meng Shaoyuan is young and ignorant, his virtue is shallow, and his speech is arrogant and presumptuous. Today, I would like to start by not talking about the distribution of materiel. Rather, it is the situation in northern Jiangsu as a whole. Chairman Han, it is really rude to say this in front of you. ”

"It's okay, Commissioner Meng can say whatever he wants." Han Deqin looked very polite.

Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Northern Jiangsu is a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. When I was in Shanghai, I knew many people from northern Jiangsu who went to Shanghai to beg for a living, and the one who often shaved my head was Xinghua. When I talk about my hometown, I am always full of pride. He always said that when he was old, he must go back to his hometown in Xinghua to care for the elderly.

It's a pity, it's a good place, since the Japanese came in, it has been ruined. In particular, Yancheng and Funing are important towns in northern Jiangsu, but unfortunately they fell into the hands of enemies. The occupation of these two cities by the Japanese army directly posed a huge threat to Wuhan, and the fall of Haizhou made the situation in northern Jiangsu even worse. ”

Speaking of this, the words suddenly changed: "However, even in such a bad situation, our military and civilians in northern Jiangsu, under the leadership of Chairman Han, rose up to resist the war. Chairman Han personally led the security brigade to carry out a counterattack against the remaining Japanese troops in Tianshenggang, Nantong, Rugao, Dongtai and other places, digging roads and destroying bridges, resulting in the cutting off of the 200-kilometer transportation line leading to the rear of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was forced to organize an armed fleet to switch to waterway transportation. Due to the destruction of the rear lines of communication and the repeated attacks on the strongholds, the Japanese army was forced to divide its troops, which was equivalent to providing the most direct support to the front line! ”

This can be regarded as Han Deqin's proud work, and when he talked about it in front of everyone, he couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.

Meng Shaoyuan finished filming his sycophants: "Chairman Han has jurisdiction over the 89th Army, the 57th Army, the 8th Army Guerrilla Corps, the 5th Guerrilla Corps, the Hongze Lake Water Guerrilla Corps, and the provincial and county security teams, with a total strength of no less than 100,000 people.

We, the military and the people of northern Jiangsu, are united in our hearts and minds, and are willing to fight to the death against the Japanese army to the end under the leadership of Chairman Han, even if the land of northern Jiangsu is full of blood, we will not hesitate to do so. If the Japanese army does not withdraw from northern Jiangsu, the resistance of our northern Jiangsu will not end for a day. Especially the people in Yancheng, Funing and other places, are looking forward to it, waiting for Wang Shi's recovery! ”

Han Deqin and others suddenly realized.

This Commissioner Meng spared such a large circle, it turned out that he was instigating Han Deqin to recover Yancheng, Funing and other places!

Han Deqin had been preparing to do this for a long time, and tens of thousands of troops had already formed an attack posture against him, but he was unable to make up his mind because he was afraid of the knock-on consequences of defeat.

Now, it is rare for a person in charge of distributing supplies to suggest a military operation proposal to him.

However, Han Deqin had other plans in mind.

Meng Shaoyuan was nominally there to oversee the distribution of supplies, but it was more than that. He was sent by the Chairman's chamberlain, and he may have been tasked with some other task.

For example, if you look at the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in northern Jiangsu, whether Chairman Han actively launched an attack on the Japanese army in accordance with the instructions of the chairman.

After the Japanese occupied Xuzhou, everyone knew that the next target was Wuhan.

How to fight in northern Jiangsu, and how far can it go? What kind of support can the anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu, with Huaiyin as the center, give to Wuhan under the leadership of Chairman Han?

I'm afraid, this is another purpose of Meng Shao's original northern Jiangsu, right?

Han Deqin just never thought that Meng Shaoyuan was completely playing a psychological tactic and letting him think of the chairman of the committee.

Since Meng Shaoyuan is officially a special observer in the chairman's chamberlain, every word he says will naturally be associated with the chairman.

At this point, I am afraid that Luo Liangjian, who gave him the task at the beginning, did not think of this at all.

Han Deqin "figured out" this point, and became cautious in his speech: "What Commissioner Meng said is reasonable, I have long wanted to fight with the Japanese with real swords and guns, but at present, the situation of the enemy and us is unclear, if we act rashly, we will lose our troops and lose our generals." The situation in northern Jiangsu is only afraid that it will be reversed, which is exactly what the Japanese want to see. ”

"Chairman Han is far-sighted, which is also the main reason why the chairman of the committee appointed you to sit in Jiangsu." Meng Shaoyuan mentioned the "chairman" intentionally or unintentionally: "However, Director Hou and I mobilized all the intelligence forces and figured out the military deployment of the Japanese army in several cities, and we all agreed that we were completely sure of fighting a battle in northern Jiangsu!" ”

Commissioner-in-waiting? Hou Yongsheng?

Several people's eyes fell on Hou Yongsheng.

Everyone knows that he is a person from the Central Investigation Section, although the Central Investigation Section also has intelligence personnel behind enemy lines, but this kind of military intelligence work behind enemy lines is generally the responsibility of the military commander?

Hou Yongsheng was also very proud: "Don't dare, Commissioner Meng found me, we agreed to share information, everyone took out all the information they got, and once they analyzed it, it will naturally be clear." ”

He didn't dare to say more, for fear that if he said too much, he would reveal his stuffing.

Meng Shaoyuan also knew this: "Chairman Han, the main force of the Japanese army is in Funing, 2,200 Japanese troops. Yancheng, 1,000 Japanese troops. Dongtai, 800 Japanese troops. These three cities, with a total of 4,000 Japanese troops, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army can be ignored for the time being. The detailed deployment of the Japanese army in various cities will be presented later. If Chairman Han is the best and the Japanese army rushes to the battle, victory is assured. ”

Han Deqin listened carefully and said, "That is what I said, but once the battle starts, the Japanese Army's Matsumura Brigade, Sato Wing, and Japanese Marines can be reinforced at any time. In case of a stalemate battle, I am not falling into my own prestige, and it is easy to be surrounded by the Japanese army, and at that time, what should I do? ”

"Then they have no way to reinforce them!"

"What does Commissioner Meng mean by that?"

"Carry out an all-out operation in the entire southern and central Soviet Union!" Meng Shaoyuan's voice raised slightly: "Chairman Han's 100,000 troops are all thrown into battle. With Huaiyin as the center, he ordered all guerrillas and security regiments to sabotage the communication line of Longhai and Jinpu and attack the Japanese army. Japanese military columns and telephone poles were all targets.

In the Matsumura Brigade, Chairman Han can mobilize all eight security regiments and put on a counteroffensive posture against Xuzhou, so that it will not dare to easily come out. The Japanese marines ordered the Hongze Lake Water Guerrilla Corps, as well as the newly incorporated Xiao Fugen, to hold them down. The goal is not to annihilate how many Japanese troops there are, but to fight them guerrilla warfare and stop them from attacking! ”

Li Mingyang suddenly asked: "Then what about the Sato United, as well as the Japanese troops in other places in northern and central Jiangsu?" ”

He is a veteran, who participated in the Xinhai Revolution, the War to Protect the Law, the Second Revolution and the Northern Expedition, and Meng Shaoyuan did not dare to make a mistake against him:

"Then I'll have to ask Commissioner Li."

Li Mingyang was the administrative inspector of the Ninth District, the guerrilla commander of the Fifth Theater, and the guerrilla commander of Sulu-Anhui.

He listened to Meng Shaoyuan's words and said lightly: "Fighting for the country, that's duty, and I don't have much to say." But if I were to deal with the Sato Wing and the Japanese troops in northern and central Jiangsu who came up one after another, I couldn't catch it. I, Li Mingyang, died on the battlefield, and I can be regarded as serving the party-state, but I am afraid that Chairman Han's major event will be ruined. ”

There is some truth to that.

Once Han Deqin makes a move against Yancheng and Funing, the Japanese troops from all over northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu will flock in, and the land of northern Jiangsu will inevitably fall into a scuffle.

"Look, everybody." Meng Shaoyuan came to the map: "Under the wise leadership of Chairman Han, most of the Japanese troops in various places are contained by guerrillas, and their strength is not too strong. As soon as they are out of town, we fight, hit and run. The Japanese army will advance again, and we will fight and run again. In this way, the pace of the Japanese army is bound to be seriously hindered.

And I have also ordered that the guerrilla forces in northern Jiangsu under my command will all attack the Japanese army as long as Chairman Han makes a move here. Even if the Japanese army has three heads and six arms, it will probably be overwhelmed in the face of the general offensive of the entire northern and central Soviet Unions. As a result, the Japanese army in Yancheng, Funing and other places will become lone for a period of time! ”

"And the guerrillas of the Central Union." Hou Yongsheng knew that this was a golden opportunity for himself: "I have asked my superiors for instructions, as long as Chairman Han makes a move here, our guerrillas will all be dispatched, and for the sake of the anti-Japanese war, we will not hesitate to fight until one soldier is killed, and when necessary, I, Hou Yongsheng, can personally go to the battlefield to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army!" ”

"Director Waiting's courage is commendable." Han Deqin politely praised: "Commissioner Meng's suggestion is indeed feasible, and this battle can be fought." However, Commissioner Meng said that there is a force to deal with it, but he has not specifically said it. ”

"Please advise Chairman Han."

"The Sato United that Commissioner Li just mentioned." Han Deqin said slowly: "Although the Sato Wing has not fought head-on, I have also heard that it is the elite of the Japanese army, and the combat power is relatively strong, so let the guerrillas fight them?" Even if it is a harassment war, I am afraid it will be difficult to slow down their progress, and if this point is not handled well, this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was waiting for him to ask such a sentence: "Chairman Han, I have also taken into account the Sato United, in fact, we still have a force that has not been used." ”

"Oh, why don't I know?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "Has Chairman Han forgotten that the Fourth Route Army is also under your command?" ”

Han Deqin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled and said, "Commissioner Meng seems to be joking with me, right?" ”
