Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (1)

What happened in distant Europe was much more powerful than a butterfly in the Caribbean, and the impact on China's war of resistance was far beyond Yichang. In Guinan, the commander of the Japanese 22nd Army, Lieutenant General Seiichi Kuna, reacted even more strongly to this, he already had a premonition that his work in Guinan was about to be completed, and he wanted to leave this place and return to Manchuria, to Japan, to Fukuoka Kurume, Kyushu, because Nanning was already very hot in June.

On June 22, the Vichy government of France was established and an armistice agreement was signed with Nazi Germany, and the territory of the French Third Republic that had been occupied by Germany was naturally administered by Germany, and the unoccupied areas were administered by the newly established Vichy government, and a large number of overseas colonies of the French Third Republic were also brought under the rule of the Vichy government, including Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos in the Indochina Peninsula.

As allies of Nazi Germany, Japan, Germany, and Italy were preparing the "German-Italian-Japanese Triple Alliance Treaty", and the Japanese militarists, who felt super good, believed that Germany's victory was Japan's victory, and that Germany's major victory in the war with France in Europe would also allow the Japanese army to gain French interests in Asia.

Therefore, on June 25, 1940, under the command of Lieutenant General Seiichi Kuna, the 5th Division of Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura and the 41st Wing of the 9th Brigade of Major General Kawagen 7th Brigade Masao Fukuyama entered Vietnam from Pingxiang.

After getting the news of Chen Zhengxin, Mo Di, who had retreated to Macheng, was so shocked that the hairs on his back stood up, gasped, and kept saying: "I see, I see!" ”

Jin Tongxuan asked Mo what was going on, and Mo Di told him that the Japanese troops in South China entered Guinan, and after occupying Nanning, they would not go north, not because they were short of troops, but because they did not want to enter the hinterland of Guangxi at all, and the purpose of occupying Guinan was to have a springboard on land from which to enter French Vietnam.

Jin Tongxuan thought about it according to Mo Enemy's thoughts, and also said in amazement: "Half a year ago, the Japanese army launched the Guinan Campaign, did the Japanese already know that the Germans were going to attack France in May? And it was also certain that the Germans would be able to achieve victory! If this is the case, the Japanese plan is too long-term. ”

Tang Ruru also came back to his senses from his surprise, crouched on the map and looked at it seriously for a long time, then took out his notebook, flipped it forward, and wrote down a few numbers very seriously, and then said to Jin Tongxuan with certainty: "Tianzong is right, Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, the intention is Pei Gong, the Japanese occupy Guinan, and the main purpose is indeed Vietnam." I have always wondered what the Japanese had to do in the occupation of Guinan. The land of Qinlian is not fertile, Nanning is a city, and it is not rich, occupying such a place, not only can not obtain most of the supplies, but even the self-sufficiency of the occupying army is insufficient, and it also needs naval transportation to be able to wear and eat. Some people say that the purpose of the Japanese army's occupation of southern Guizhou is to open up the Hunan-Guizhou line and enter Hunan, but I have always held a negative opinion on this, and it is better to join the Fifth Division to join the South China Front Army in Guangdong and attack the Yuehan-Han Road together to achieve victory. Vietnam, Vietnam, hehe, the original target was in Vietnam. Tianzhong, you still have the foresight, and you have already seen some clues. ”

Mo Di shook his head and said: "I only see some appearances, and I don't see such a long term, who could have known that the Germans would attack France in May." ”

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean the Japanese don't know." When Jin Tongxuan said this, he smiled and continued: "Since the Japanese have known for a long time, it means that Germany should have been prepared earlier and will attack France in the near future. It's ridiculous that Britain and France have been kept in the dark, still appeased and nurtured traitors, and instigated the German army to occupy Northern Europe, but they didn't expect that so soon, the fire would burn to their butts! I didn't expect that the French Third Republic established by Napoleon was so useless, and it was cleaned up by the Germans in less than a month. ”

"Hahahaha!" Mo Di and Tang Ruru both laughed, Jin Tongxuan, the way to look at the problem is really interesting.

"Yes, France is not as good as Poland." Tang Ruru said: "Poland also carried out several decent counteroffensives, France!" Hehe, the Maginot Line, hehe, the Ardennes Mountains, hehe, the Maas River, hehe, the most imposing is the Dunkirk retreat. ”

Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan didn't pay attention to Tang Ruru's feelings, but invariably put their heads on the map, and at the same time set their eyes on Guinan, and after two minutes, they all raised their heads together, and Mo Di said: "The Japanese army in Guinan will definitely change." Jin Tongxuan said: "There should be a cheap advantage." ”

The lyrical Tang Ruru looked at Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan like a ghost, these two are too boring, except for the military thinking full of heads and taking advantage of losses, they don't have any emotional intelligence at all!

The Battle of Zaoyi lasted nearly two months, and it can be said that the Chinese battlefield was wounded and bone-wrenching, and the Fifth Theater was even more scarred, and all the group armies under its jurisdiction were waiting to be fed. The Central Military Commission was quarreling every day, and while striving for merit, it was also shirking its responsibilities, and the Fifth Theater scolded the Third Theater and the Ninth Theater, and the Japanese army had withdrawn a large number of troops from these two theaters in order to attack the Fifth Theater, so why didn't they take advantage of the situation to attack and scold the commanders of these two theaters, Gu Zhutong and Xue Yue, speechless.

Mo Di and the others followed the Seventh Army back to Macheng, where they were treated like VIPs and had a good meal for two days. The Seventh Army was very polite, and put on new clothes for the soldiers of the 48th Army who came to help in the battle, and replenished the ammunition with each cannon and each cannon. The Li Baicheng Artillery Regiment and the Qin State Guard Company that helped in the battle this time did not have a single battle loss, only the joy and aftertaste of the full battalion. At the end of the preparation, Tang Ruru and others bid farewell to the Seventh Army, Tang Ruru returned to Lihuang, and Mo Di, Wei Yongcheng, Li Baicheng and others returned to Mabu. The reason why he was in such a hurry was because Wei Yongcheng got unofficial information that all group armies would have to be reorganized, and the 48th Army would also have to be reshuffled.

Wang Zanbin, deputy commander of the Seventh Army, personally saw off Mo Di, as the old commander of the 44th Division, as the old boss of the 48th Army, Mo Di respected Wang Zanbin very much. Wei Yongcheng was full of spirit, and he published several articles in the Dabie Mountain newspaper about the 48th Army's battle against Dahongshan, and the people of the 48th Army were full of questions, in addition to the artillery regiment, which other unit appeared in the war-torn Dahongshan unknowingly.

ordered a live sheep in a famous mutton restaurant in Macheng, and Wang Zanbin personally guided him to make a red stewed mutton with the flavor of southwest Guangxi. Present at the banquet were Tang Ruru of Quanzhou, Wei Yongcheng of Wutong, Mo Tian of Shoucheng, and Li Baicheng of Funan. The attaché Wang Zanbin brought was Yan Sengwu, the infantry commander of the 172nd Division, a native of Anji Sulu in Nanning. Yan Seng Wu fought very well in Dahong Mountain this time, and Mo Di and Ling Yun each led a guerrilla group, cooperated with each other, cooperated with each other, and formed a very good friendship. But there was another person who surprised Mo Di and Tang Ruru, and it turned out to be Yang Zanmo, chief of staff of the Seventh Army.

"I'm not an uninvited guest, am I?" Yang Zanmo said with a smile.

"I called you here, not quickly!" Wang Zanbin smiled and said half-truthfully: "Calling you and Shaodian (Yan Seng Wuzi) can be regarded as a trip for you at the same time." ”

"Where is Yang Dashen going to go to Gao?" Tang Ruru asked, Yang Zanmo has been in the position of chief of staff in the past ten years, and is a well-known professional chief of staff of the Gui Army, and Tang Ruru, who is also a major general, is unceremonious, and his mouth is Yang Zanmo's nickname.

"Go to him." Yang Zanmo pointed at Mo Enemy.

"Where am I?" The second monk couldn't figure it out.

"Yes." Wang Zanbin explained: "You Yu (Yang Zanmo) was transferred to the 48th Army as chief of staff. Tianzhong, are you welcome? ”

"Of course!" Mo Di pulled Li Baicheng with his left hand and Wei Yongcheng with his right hand, stood up together, saluted Yang Zanmo, and said, "Welcome to Yang Sen." ”

Yang Zanmo sat down one by one and said, "If you are not on the scene, everyone is a brother, and you don't have to salute at every turn." I am not very familiar with the 48th Army, and when I get there, I need a few more helpers. ”

"The Department of Political Affairs is at the disposal of the staff at any time." Wei Yongcheng said as an oath.

Tang Ruru is the head of the military intelligence department of the group army, with the rank of major general like Yang Zanmo, not so polite, let everyone sit down, in his opinion, in the 21st Group Army, the 7th Army is the favored eldest son, the 48th Army is the younger son who is angry, transferred from the 7th Army to the 48th Army, the position remains unchanged, this is not a high promotion, asked: "How can Brother Youyu be the chief of staff of the Seventh Army not to do it, but to go to the 48th Army to be the chief of staff?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Zanmo to answer, Wang Zanbin opened his mouth first: "The forty-eighth army, it's about to disperse!" Ou Shounian left office for a few months, Su Zuxin was absent for a long time, and Zhang Yichun was unable to support himself. In this major adjustment, Mo Dehong, commander of the 138th Division, was first promoted to deputy commander of the 48th Army and commander of the 138th Division, and then Youyu was transferred to the post of chief of staff. Even if Su Zuxin is not in place for a long time, Zhang Yichun has to take care of the affairs of the Anhui Provincial Government and the 21st Group Army, and with Deputy Division Commander Mo and Chief of Staff Yang, the 48th Army will not be empty. ”

"Oh!" The enemies nodded in unison.

"Because Mo Zhikuan (Mo Dehong) has to take care of the affairs of the 48th Army, he transferred Shaodian (Yan Seng Wuzi) to serve as the deputy commander of the 138th Division." Yang Zanmo said: "From now on, everyone will work together in the same army!" ”

Wei Yongcheng took the lead, and everyone applauded together, welcoming Yan Seng Wu to enter the 48th Army. In this Dahongshan operation, Yan Sengwu's ability is obvious to all, and it is unanimously believed that as the deputy commander of the 138th Division, he is capable enough.

"What about Long Yanwu, the deputy commander of the 138th Division before?" Mo Di asked.

"Long Yanwu is a little troublesome, I knew it before I came to the inspection team." Wei Yongcheng said: "Tianzong knows him? How's the relationship? ”

Mo Di shook his head and said: "There are two friends, the last time I went to eastern Anhui, he received me in Lu'an, very polite, I owe him a favor." ”

"Oh!" Wei Yongcheng said: "In mid-April, an infantry brigade of the 133rd Wing of the Ozaki Brigade of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army led an infantry regiment of the National People's Republic of China to the north along the Huainan Road in an attempt to capture Shou County. After Zhao Kuocheng, the Ninth Provincial Security Regiment stationed in Shou County, learned about it, he immediately reported the situation to Long Yanwu. Long Yanwu ordered the Zhao regiment to hold on to the city, and he led his troops to move to Zhoujiazhai in Jiuligou, on the outskirts of Shou County, to command and respond. The Japanese army surrounded Shouxian City on three sides, southeast, north and south, and covered the siege with heavy artillery fire, and the battle was extremely fierce. Mo Zhongqing, chief of staff, suggested to Long Yanwu that while the enemy was attacking Shou County with all his might, the 412 Brigade should attack the enemy's flank and back, and attack inside and outside, which would definitely break the enemy's main force. Long Yanwu did not accept it, saying: It is necessary to make the Zhao regiment and the Japanese army consume, so that the Japanese army will run out of ammunition, and we can wave our army to the north and capture the enemy chieftain alive. The fierce battle lasted from morning to noon, and the Zhao regiment was alone, and all the officers and soldiers of the department were killed. Long Yanwu only attacked at this time, and the Japanese puppet army waited for the attack with defense, and waited for work at ease, and Long Yanwu was defeated. After the incident, Yan Renyi, the commander of the Anhui security and the director of the 10th District Administration, brought the lawsuit to Chief Li Pinxian. Commander Zhang Yichun came up with an idea and transferred Long Yanwu to Yan Renyi as the commander of the 12th guerrilla column. ”

"Hah!" Li Baicheng's eyes widened: "The other party who was sent to the lawsuit was his subordinate, and this is not to be rectified to death!" ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Wei Yongcheng also nodded and said: "So I asked Tianzong just now, if he has a good relationship with Long Yanwu, I want to find a way to transfer him to other places, even if he is transferred to eastern Anhui to replace Yun Yinglin to preside over the Ninth Guerrilla Column and practice with Zhang Yunyi, it is good that the Twelfth Guerrilla Column will be angry with Yan Renyi." ”

Mo Di nodded and said, "This person is not bad, if you can help, you can help." ”

"Okay, I'll be active, and strive to change him to the tenth tour column, and now we are separating the military and the government, Li Benyi can't hold two positions in the fifth district, or be a commissioner, or be the commander of the tenth tour column, so let Li Benyi be the commissioner, and Long Yanwu will be the commander. Originally, he wanted Xu Ping to take over as the commander of the Shiyou Column, but he was the commander of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army in Eastern Anhui and the major general of the military command, so he had a headache. Wei Yongcheng said.

"You let Long Yanwu be the commander of the Ten Tours. Li Benyi is a tiger general, and sooner or later he will have to return to the army. Yang Zanmo interjected: "As for Xu Ping, it is best to serve as the commissioner of the fifth district in the future, he has a tiger skin of a military commander, and he is suitable for this position." ”

Hearing Yang Zanmo's arrangement, Mo Di was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it again, this was not the best arrangement for Xu Ping. Yang Zanmo is really capable of anything!

A delicious banquet, expanded the team, and also introduced the chief of staff of the 48th Army, Mo Di wanted to ask, how would he arrange his next step, the words came to his mouth and swallowed, it was good to be idle like this, sometimes, there are some things, the natural will come, should not come, want to ask for it.
