Chapter 8: Guerrilla (2)

At this moment, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is not as bad as Li Pinxian expected, on the contrary, it is in a friendly state, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a honeymoon, although the time is short, but the relationship is good. On November 2, the Military Command Department of the Kuomintang Government sent a telegram to Zhu De and Peng Dehuai to commend all the contributing troops with the loyalty and courage of the Eighth Route Army and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army. Basically, everyone believed that the civil war in China was over, and that when everyone worked together to defeat the Japanese, a democratic and united country would be established.

Unconsciously, 20 years have passed, and it has been proved that Li Pinxian is right, no one will give up the vested interests in their hands, and the blood of the three-year civil war has once again stained the land of China. Ten years ago, the mainland changed its flag, and another 10 years have passed, and I wonder if a democratic and united republic has been established. Mo Di on Hong Kong Island put down the Parker pen in his hand, picked up the cigarette in front of him and smelled it, and put it on the table again. Mrs. Zhou took the invincible manuscript, read the last page, and said, our family was in Tongcheng at the time, and it was also a small rich family, and then the New Fourth Army came, I saw the Hu Jiting Hu chief you said, they made land reform, and all the land of our family in the countryside was confiscated, and we also had two shops in Tongcheng, which also became public property, and the family couldn't go on, so I packed up and went to Lu'an, and my father got an errand in the Lu'an government, and then he has been living in Lu'an. The New Fourth Army acts, unlike the National Army, they are very extreme, they only care about how they live, never think about how others live, if they don't do what they ask, they will come up with a lot of ways to deal with you, and even instruct some hooligans to come to the door to find trouble, our shop in Tongcheng is to let those gangsters force them to transfer out at a low price.

Mo Di smiled and said: "Fortunately, my family was forced to come to Lu'an, otherwise, how could I find such a good wife as you in Lu'an, and we have been through ups and downs for twenty years." ”

Mrs. Zhou also smiled, people are forgetful, twenty years is a long time, the memories of the past have long faded, and she changed the topic and said: "It's good for me to meet you, I still have such a piece of land and such a house in Hong Kong, if I stay in my hometown, I am afraid that life is not as good as our present." A few days ago, Mrs. Tang Ruru asked me to go to tea, Cheng Siyuan's daughter Cheng Yueru, that is, the big star Lin Dai, came back from the United States and met a boyfriend, who was the fifth son of Yunnan Wang Longyun, Long Shenxun, and the fifth son of Long was treated. Yueru asked a few of our elders to give her a staff officer and look at each other. At the tea table, there were a few people from Guangxi who had just run away from the mainland, and I heard them say that the mainland first engaged in three anti-five anti-ops, and then engaged in public-private joint ventures, and now they are engaged in *. Since the public-private partnership, the mainlanders no longer have any private property, and even if we don't sell the land and shop in our family back then, we will have to confiscate it all after that, and we will not give you a penny, and we will give you a capitalist's hat, and we will trouble you twice in three days. ”

"Hehehehe, in front of Lin Daxing, we dare to call our elders, in front of the fifth prince of Long, I can only be commensurate with each other, he is a generation older than us." Mo Di did not answer Zhou's words directly, but talked about him left and right, he knew this political situation very well, Hong Kong's newspapers reported it every day, but he felt very distant, as if it had nothing to do with himself, and told the students Tang and Song poems every day, Chu Ci Han Fu, and enjoyed it.

Mrs. Zhou walked behind Mo Di and gently massaged Mo Di's neck, Mo Di was lying on the desk for too long, and the back of his neck often had a sense of rigidity, and he was nearly fifty years old, the years were unforgiving, and the most important thing was that in the war years, he was repeatedly traumatized and hurt his vitality.

Enjoying the gentleness of his wife, Mo Di leaned on the back of the chair and squinted his eyes, the so-called gentle township is the hero's mound, and it is really such an environment and such a life, and he gradually forgot the iron horse Jingo of the year, if he didn't want to record the story of the year, Mo Di actually gave birth to an unbearable mentality.

1938, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, is the most fierce year of war on the land of China, this year from the first day of spring began to fight, until the end of the year, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Lanfeng, the Yangtze River North and South Armageddon, Dabie Mountain Blockade, the Yellow River burst, the Japanese bombing......

After the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, the 6th Division entered Wuhan and began to fight south along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, hoping to open up this main artery of the railway. On November 9, Linxiang fell. On November 12, Yueyang fell. On November 13, Changsha caught fire. After the fall of Yueyang, the commander of the Changsha garrison was drunk, and Xu Quan, the director of the provincial security department, mistakenly believed the rumors, thinking that the Japanese army was coming, so he decided to take Xu Kun, the commander of the second garrison regiment, as the command, and set fire to the buildings in the city late at night on the 12th, causing a tragic disaster, until the embers were not completely extinguished until the 16th. A total of 50,000 houses were destroyed and more than 20,000 people were killed or injured in the Changsha fire. In response to the Japanese attack, the Nationalist army also adopted the method of attacking by attack, and on the Guangdong-Han line, on November 16, the Xianning was restored. In Anhui, taking advantage of the departure of the Japanese Second Army, Lu'an Hefei was empty, and on November 15, Ou Shounian sent troops to recover Lu'an, and Xu Ping ordered Liu Qinglong to occupy Hefei. On November 24, Guangdong Yu Han Mou Ke regained Conghua. The Japanese army wanted to open up the Guangdong-Hankou line by force, but it was difficult to achieve it in the near future.

The Japanese were well aware that the offensive of the ground forces could be suspended, but the war must be continued, and while using so-called peaceful means to induce Wang Jingwei to defect to Japan, the head of the Chinese section of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, Akira Kagesa, and Takeo Imai went to Shanghai with the "Guidelines for the Adjustment of Sino-Japanese Relations" and handed them over to Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping for secret talks to discuss the specific conditions and methods for Wang Jingwei to defect to the enemy and treason, in a vain attempt to use the Chinese to rule China and achieve the goal of colonization. At the same time, the bombing of China will be intensified to maintain the continuity of the war. With the relocation of the Japanese airfields to Wuhan and Guangzhou, the bombing range was much wider than before, and many cities that were not within the bombing range in the past also received air strikes. On November 8, Japanese planes bombed Changsha and Hengyang, and on the same day, 18 Japanese planes attacked Chengdu for the first time. On November 19 and 20, Yan'an was bombed. On November 23, Japanese planes bombed the Hui area of Xi'an, killing and injuring more than 120 Hui people. On December 2, 19 Japanese planes bombed the city of Guilin, burning fiercely, killing and injuring thousands of civilians. On December 29, Guilin was again heavily bombed by Japanese planes, and the urban area was almost completely destroyed.

The bombing on December 29, Mo Enemy was in Guilin, for this bombing, it can be said that the memory is still fresh, according to Mo Enemy's words, the density of the bombing is higher than the Songhu War, and the rock on Duxiu Peak has also been cut off a layer.

After coming out for more than a year, Mo Di finally got a chance to go back to Guilin, one is to go back to visit relatives, and the second is that the family gave him a family affair, asking him to go back to get married, twenty-eight years old, no matter in which era he belongs to the older youth, in the countryside is already a husband and father, if the marriage is early, the son is already very big. The third and most important reason was that after receiving a notice from the Fifth War Zone, Mo Enemy participated in the first anti-Japanese guerrilla cadre training course held in Nanyue in February 1939.

The time when I received the notice was November 28, and it was actually Wei Yongcheng who sent the notice, and last year in Guilin, the colonel and deputy director of the Political Training Department in the Fifth War Zone, although they were on the front line of resistance against Japan, they never met.

Wei Yongcheng told Mo Di that several people who ate dog meat outside the West Gate last year were on the front line of resistance against Japan, Hai Jingqiang Hai Boss has been in the General Staff, serving as a colonel and senior staff member next to Chief Bai, after the Battle of Xuzhou, the Seventh Army was adjusted, Hai Jingqiang went to the 170th Division 1019 Regiment as the colonel commander, and after the Japanese army landed in the South China Sea, Hai Jingqiang also returned to Guangxi. Zhong Ji's military rank is the highest, after he joined Rong from the Army Academy, as a protégé of the Son of Heaven in the fourth phase of Huangpu, he immediately won the post of major general and brigade commander of the 391st Brigade of the 131st Division of the 31st Army, and then served as the chief of staff of the 31st Army. Speaking of Zhong Ji, Wei Yongcheng is a little sour, everyone else is going up, the little major of the year is invincible and carried the rank of colonel in one year, and he is still a colonel who walks in place, strictly speaking, it is a bit of Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it is not as good as a year.

At the beginning of the year, he was transferred to the Fifth War Zone and served as the colonel and deputy director of the Political Training Department. After the Japanese army occupied Anqing, Li Pinxian established the Fourth Army Corps, and he was transferred to the Fourth Army Corps as the director of the Political Training Department. Unexpectedly, the Battle of Wuhan was over, the Fourth Army was canceled, he couldn't go back to the Fifth War Zone, and wanted to follow Li Pinxian back to the Eleventh Group Army, but he didn't have a suitable position, and he was extremely depressed. Therefore, he received the messenger to send a notice to Mo Enemy and made a special trip to relax.

"You are good, the sesame seeds are blooming and growing, this time I will go back to Nanyue training, and I will definitely use it again." Wei Yongcheng said.

"Hehe, get the peak cultivation! Invincible is toothless and unforgettable. Mo Di said with a smile that he really did not expect that he would get this opportunity to go to Nanyue to participate in this cadre training course jointly organized by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

As early as the end of '37, General Zhu De of the Communist Party suggested a training course for guerrilla cadres, and the Central Military Commission also held a two-month short-term training course on a trial basis in Luojia Mountain, Wuhan, and invited Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying, and Ye Ting of the Communist Party of China to give lectures and make reports. It's just that the military situation was urgent at that time, and no one could calm down and take classes well, so the training effect was very poor. Wei Yongcheng said: "With the fall of Wuhan and the loss of Guangzhou, China has lost most of its rivers and mountains, and the national government will not see most of its rivers and mountains fall into the hands of the enemy, so guerrilla warfare has once again been put on the agenda." ”

Only then did he know that on the eve of the fall of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek convened an emergency military meeting of senior generals in Wuhan, at which he said: "If we want to expel the enemy and destroy the enemy, we must use guerrilla warfare to disrupt the enemy's rear, restrain its movements, disrupt the enemy's transportation and communications, and reduce its strength in order to assist the regular army in its operations." Lao Chiang knew very well that when it came to guerrilla warfare, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party were masters. Zhu De, as commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army, became a guest at the meeting. After Zhou Enlai and Zhu De agreed, a proposal was formally submitted at the meeting for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to hold a training course for guerrilla war cadres. Chiang Kai-shek accepted this suggestion at that time and demanded that a plan for the training of guerrilla cadres be drawn up immediately. After the meeting, Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying promptly studied and formulated the outline of the education plan for the guerrilla warfare cadre training class, which Zhou Enlai handed over to the meeting for discussion and decision. The meeting decided to hold a training course for anti-Japanese guerrilla cadres in Nanyue at the Bible School at the foot of the Tianzhu Peak in Hengshan, the former site of the Southwest Associated University Faculty of Letters.

The Nanyue Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Cadre Training Course is a short-term training course, with only the class headquarters, divided into an academic affairs office, a general affairs office, a quartermaster office, a medical office, and a political department. The targets are mainly officers at and above the battalion level of the units in various theaters and middle-level staff members of the high command. After graduation, all armed forces select and send officers with good combat cultivation and combat experience to participate in the training, and after graduation, they still return to their original units, and then they set up separate classes to train grass-roots military backbones such as company and platoon commanders. For example, among the 1,046 cadets in the first phase, most of them graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy and later changed to the Nanjing Central Military Academy, and some of them were graduates of the advanced research class, the Baoding Military Academy, the Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall, the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and other military academies in other places. All theaters and group armies selected and sent officers with experience in guerrilla warfare to become the cadets of the first batch, and they were unbeatably on the list.

Zhao Guolong took a squad of soldiers as his entourage, and the others stayed at the regimental headquarters of the 1056 Regiment, Mo Enemy gathered the commanders of the three infantry battalions of the 1056 Regiment and the brigade guard battalion, engineer battalion, and baggage battalion together, and told them that in the days of their absence, everything would be under Huang Tianhua's command, especially the troops directly under the brigade, and all actions must be subject to Huang Tianhua's arrangement, and if they dare to disobey, they will be sent to the brigade headquarters to follow the brigade commander Ma Weixin.

The latter punishment was a bit scary, and everyone was unanimous and resolutely complied with it.
