Chapter 8: Guerrilla (8)

"After I served as the chief of staff of the 31st Army, I learned that Tianzong had fought several battles at the front of the very standard, and Commander Wei Yunsong spoke highly of you, thinking that if brigade and regiment-level officers had your sense of combat, our victory would come much faster." Zhong Ji said sincerely: "After returning to Guilin, I made a special trip to visit the chief Zhou Zuhuang who was idle at home, he was dismissed after the Great War in Xuzhou, and now he fishes by the Taohua River every day, otherwise he will go to Nengren Temple to eat fast, and make a look of ignoring the world and seeing through the red dust." After the last Japanese bombing, Chen Enyuan asked him to go out of the mountain to guide Guilin's air defense, but he refused, saying: Sooner or later, it will be blown to pieces, and it is serious to evacuate as soon as possible. I went to visit him with a few colleagues, and he was so happy that he made sake lees fish for us to eat, and drank himself high. He also thinks highly of you, believing that you are the only brigade and regimental commander who fights with his brain, and if every brigade and regiment commander has your operational mind, it will be much easier to fight the Japanese. We feel that he has experienced this blow and become very depressed, and it is estimated that he will never enter the army again, which is a real loss, he is not yet fifty years old, it is the year of the fight, and it is a pity that he has become a fisherman on the Peach Blossom River in this way. ”

"Hehe, Chief Zhou was the head of my regiment when I was in the army, and he and Chief Zhong Zupei and Chief Li Zongren were classmates of Guilin Lu Xiao, and they were the senior brothers of the first phase of Baoding, and they had a very high reputation in the army. In this defeat in Xuzhou, the central government slapped the board on the buttocks of Chief Zhou and Yang Junchang of the 171st Division, and also involved Deputy Commander He Weizhen of the 31st Army. Mo Di said: "I am not familiar with Division Commander Yang, Deputy Army Commander He had contacts when he was the commander of the 173rd Division in the 48th Army, although he did not receive the medal, but at least he was promoted, only Chief Zhou, wiped to the end, kicked out of the military circle, I am not worth it." ”

"Shall we help him?" Zhong Ji proposed.

"Okay, as long as I can help, I will help." Mo Di asked excitedly, "How can I help?" ”

"Let me think about it, when I go back after drinking, I will make a call to Hai Jingqiang, he is recruiting soldiers in Xing'an Santai, let him come back, and we will discuss it." Zhong Ji said.

Mo Di knew that there was no good plan for this person at present, and he didn't ask again, he knew that if he wanted to make Zhou Zuhuang make a comeback, there was only one way, which was to build momentum, build momentum for Zhou Zuhuang, and spread his reputation to the ears of the upper echelons again, and shape him into a heroic image who could fight well.

Although he knows this truth, Mo Di doesn't know where to start, so he can only wait for Hai Jingqiang to come back and see if the three stinky generals can top Zhuge Liang.

Hai Jingqiang is really a master, I heard that Mo Di had a month's rest time in Guilin, without saying a word, he contacted the Sixth Branch of the Central Military Academy in Lijia Village, and introduced Mo Di to Lieutenant General Huang Wei, the director of the branch, and let Mo Di become a guest instructor, specializing in teaching the tactics of attacking and cooperating with the Japanese army, for a month.

Huang Wei is a first-term student of Huangpu, and he understands me, a native of Guixi, Jiangxi. He is Lao Jiang's disciple, a real protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he holds important positions. While serving as the director of the Guilin Military Academy, he also served as the commander of the 18th Army. During the Battle of Jiujiang, he led his army to Jiangxi and was summoned by Chiang Kai-shek on the way. When summoned, Chiang Kai-shek gave him a photo as a souvenir, and changed Huang Wei's name "Wu I" to "Pei I". During the Battle of Wuhan, he deployed the 11th Division and the 67th Division in the area of Nanxun Lude'an from Jiujiang to Nanchang, and led the 18th Army and other troops to intercept and block the Japanese army one by one in Mahuiling, and launched a fierce battle, and won a great victory in Mahuiling. In his opinion, Mo Enemy is in the northwest of Zhejiang, Jinpu South Road, Bengbu Surprise Attack, Hefei Battle, Shipai annihilation of the enemy, Huang Mei Chengwei, is the only team commander who has not been defeated on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. I also know that this is just a trainee who has not obtained a graduation certificate from the Sixth Branch of Guilin, because he has not obtained a graduation certificate, he cannot get President Jiang's Zhongzheng Sword, and he will not be able to climb the steps of a general. Let a student who has not graduated teach regular students, this contrast is a bit big, Huang Wei couldn't help laughing.

Huang Wei alias nerd, is famous in the Battle of Luodian during the Battle of Songhu. It was still late September 1937, when Huang Wei took over as the commander of the 67th Division of the 18th Army and led his troops to resist. In the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Huang Wei's headquarters held for a week, and in the end, the three regiment commanders under his command, one was killed in battle and two were seriously wounded, except for one telegraph operator in the division headquarters, even the clerks and cooks took guns, and after the war, they were reorganized, and the living people could not even make up a regiment. Afterwards, many people said that Huang Wei's command was rigid and stiff, and he would only use his life to fill it up, and the reputation of "nerdy Huang Wei" fell. Mo Di is completely different from him, Mo Di's 1056 Regiment killed countless enemies in the battle of Songhu, but its own losses were very small, and when the brother units suffered heavy losses, they could turn one into two, and with their own strength, they set up the structure of the 1055 Regiment. In addition, a Xu Le's Northwest Zhejiang Garrison Brigade also evolved, and a Xu Pingwan East Loyal Salvation Army was expanded. The most important thing is that in the Shipai Battle and the Huangmei War, the 1056 Regiment judged two teams, which could fight skillfully and viciously, and this kind of unit was unique. To be able to let Mo Di come to the military academy and talk about how to annihilate the enemy while protecting himself, Huang Wei is also full of expectations.

Mo Di is the person who is most shocked by this matter, he has thought of countless tricks, but he did not expect that he would go back to Lijia Village, where is a very painful memory for himself, because of the relationship with Instructor Gangtian, he did not have a friend there, not even a classmate who was willing to talk to him more, that place left others may be glory, but what was left to him was unbearable, he never imagined returning to this place again, let alone thinking that he would return to this place one day, and standing on the podium, Express your thoughts, strategies and tactics to your heart's content.

Mo Di knew that there were not many such opportunities, and he had to take advantage of them.

"Gui Junzhiqi is saying!" This is the first lesson of Modi, this lesson attracted all the students of the Guilin branch, before it was an elective, a small classroom of forty people was arranged for Modi, Hai Jingqiang also mobilized some students to support the scene through personal relationships, so as not to let Modi be cold. After hearing this proposition, the people who came almost squeezed the classroom, which was not beneficial to themselves, and changed to a large classroom, a large classroom of 100 people. When I arrived at the large classroom, I found that there were still more and more people, so I had to change to the canteen hall again, move the dining tables, and finally settle the people. Although there were no seats, they were all standing, but everyone's enthusiasm was not a lot, and even Huang Wei was standing below, looking at Mo Di with interest.

"Speaking of Qizheng, we must talk about the Seventh Army and the Forty-eighth Army of Qi, and at the same time, we must also talk about the commander of the Seventh Army, Commander Zhou Zuhuang, and the commander of the Forty-eighth Army, Commander Wei Yunsong." As soon as Mo Di spoke, Hai Jingqiang and Zhong Ji, who were standing on the side, couldn't help laughing, this guy wants to start overturning the case for Zhou Zuhuang from here.

"Tomorrow, you go to General Wei Yunsong and ask him to come to a class, which echoes Tianzong's class." Hai Jingqiang said to Zhong Ji that Zhong Ji was the chief of staff of the 31st Army, and Wei Yunsong was the commander of the 31st Army.

Zhong Ji also heard Hai Jingqiang's meaning, and said: "When the time comes, Chief Zhou Zuhuang will have to show his head, right!" ”

Hai Jingqiang said: "Even if the Songhu War is finished, Chief Zhou will not show his head, and he must show his head in the Xuzhou War, and Tianzong can't let him go." ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhong Ji laughed, and when he saw the student next to him looking at him with a disgusted look, he knew that he had disturbed their class, so he stuck out his tongue and lowered his head.

Mo Di didn't pay attention to the conspiracy and tricks of the two lost friends, but just said according to his own train of thought: "The first to enter Songhu was the Seventh Army, and the commander of the Seventh Army, General Zhou Zuhuang, with the 171st Division and the 170th Division, took over Hu Zong's position in Songhu in the first time, and the 48th Army at this time was attacking the Japanese position in the form of a flank attack......"

In the mouth of Mo Enemy, the Seventh Army of Steel is the real division of steel, and the leader of this division of steel is Zhou Zuhuang, what kind of chief officer has what kind of troops, in the Songhu line, in the south of the Jinpu line, in the dangerous place of Huaibei, the reason why the Seventh Army of Steel is like a Dinghai God Needle, is because there is a commander Zhou Zuhuang. After Zhou Zuhuang was dismissed, the Seventh Army regressed greatly in the Battle of Huangmei, not only could not reach the combat effectiveness of the 31st Army, but was even inferior to the new journey of the 84th Army, the reason was still the lack of army commander Zhou Zuhuang.

The invincible fool was not only recognized by the majority of students, but even Huang Wei couldn't help but nod his head in agreement, the commander of a unit is the soul of this unit, and a unit that lacks a soul will be difficult to win the battle.

Under Zhong Ji's flickering, Wei Yunsong was ready to go to the military academy to talk about his strategy in northwest Zhejiang, and he led the 48th Army to fight the cold in Anji and Xiaofeng to endure great hardships, and finally blocked the pace of the Japanese army's westward advance, but was once dismissed from the post of commander of the 48th Army by the Central Military Commission, which was a shame in his life, and he just wanted to find an opportunity to tell it.

Just as he was about to go to Lijia Village to vent his dissatisfaction, someone came to report, a fisherman who claimed to be Lieutenant General Zhou Zuhuang and asked to see him.

Wei Yunsong's ass jumped up and rushed out, and when he walked to the door, he saw Zhong Ji walking in with Zhou Zuhuang, Wei Yunsong smiled and said, "Brother Jingsheng, this is the wrong door!" ”

Zhou Zuhuang said with a smile: "If I don't come, I'm afraid that Brother Shidong will go to the wrong door." ”

Both of them were born in 1891, and their qualifications were similar, and they usually called each other brothers.

"What's wrong with me?" Wei Yunsong asked in surprise.

"Dressed brightly, this is going to Lijia Village to take classes, right?" Zhou Zuhuang asked.

Wei Yunsong nodded and said, "Tianzong is there to release Gu, and he talks about you and me every day, I can't go if I don't go." ”

"I know the tricks of the heavens, this is to force me to appear! If Brother Shidong shows up again, it will be difficult for me not to show up. Zhou Zuhuang said: "Tianzong has good intentions, Zhiping (Zhong Jizi) and Yuming (Haijing Qiangzi) are even more fueling, if you follow the trend like this, what will I become!" I'm afraid that either Chief Li will come forward or Chief Bai will come forward and ask me to come out again. I don't have an opinion on them, I have an opinion on the Central Military Commission, that's why I faded out of the military circles. Fighting life and death, I have fought and done my part, and I am worthy of the public of the Republic of China. ”

Wei Yunsong smiled and said: "It seems that you are not confused, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, I originally wanted to talk about how much I have been wronged, but when I heard you say this, I was relieved, in the face of the suffering that the country is suffering, what can we count as a little grievance." Respecting the students, let's go to the military academy together, and our two army commanders will talk to the cadets about our strange and righteous use and our responsibilities for the rise and fall of the motherland. ”

Zhou Zuhuang was so excited by Wei Yunsong's words that he threw the broken straw hat on his head to the ground and said, "Just go, I'm still scared!" ”

Zhong Ji snickered all the way, ran out to arrange the car, and then called Director Huang Wei of the military academy, and only said one sentence: Wei Yunsong and Zhou Zuhuang couldn't help it.
