Chapter 13: Changing Guards (19)

Li Benyi's plan is very practical and unkind, he doesn't treat Mo Di as an outsider at all, and it was originally the same, the two have been brothers for more than ten years, and there is no need to hide some things too much. In his battle plan to the military headquarters, Mo Di led the 176th Division Field Supplement Regiment and the 138th Division Field Supplement Regiment to be responsible for the Japanese puppet army on the Shengqiao side, and Zhou Mengxiong was responsible for blocking the reinforcements coming from the south, and he personally led most of the 138th Division to prepare for a big battle with the Hefei Fifth Division coming from the south on the south bank of the Longshu River.

In Li Benyi's view, Mo Enemy should have a certain chance of winning against the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Shengqiao with two regiments, after all, this Japanese puppet army was frustrated at the foot of Yegong Mountain, not only lost the soldiers but also lost all the baggage, and Chaoxian did not replenish it in time. Mo Enemy is recognized as a master of guerrilla warfare in the 21st Group Army, and he will definitely not pull up a team to storm Shengqiao, and he will definitely fight so that not only his own people cannot understand it, but even the Japanese puppet army at Shengqiao cannot understand it. As for the northern front, there was an integrated regiment of Wei Jiebo, plus two battalions of the 412th Regiment led by Li Picheng, and then Liu Qinglong combined the troops in his hands with some prisoners to form two battalions, led by Zhao Xueliang to participate in the battle. The most important thing is that there is also an artillery regiment of Li Baicheng on the northern front, with more than 2,000 people, which is an easy and unused treasure of the 48th Army. In this way, there are ten whole battalions on the south bank of the Longshu River, almost 6,000 people, as long as the Hefei side does not pour out of the nest, these 6,000 people will definitely be able to fight with them, and even be able to completely annihilate the invading enemy. Even if the fifth division of Shen Xiru of Hefei Fang was killed, with these 6,000 people, although they could not completely annihilate the enemy, they could still make the other party not be able to cross the Longshu River one step.

After receiving the combat order, Zhou Mengxiong was a little worried and asked Mo Enemy, if he wanted to reinforce some of the people himself, the Japanese puppet army in Shengqiao added up to more than 1,000, although there was no artillery and no poison gas, but it should not be underestimated. Mo Di shook his head and told Zhou Mengxiong that if he said that he had enough manpower, his own wild supplement regiment was a large group of 2,000 people, and even if there were three companies left in Yuexi, there were still more than 1,600 people here. Together with the 1,200 people of Xie Qi's department, there are nearly 3,000 people. With three enemies and one, if you can't win, you can't afford to lose this old face. If there is anything that is lacking, it is the absence of artillery. However, this problem is easy to solve, a telegram to Yuexi, asking Liao Cannon to send a platoon, two infantry guns, only one car, can be pulled. From Yuexi to Tongcheng to Lujiang to Shengqiao, there are roads all the way, and the infantry artillery from Yuexi can come later and first. Zhou Mengxiong shook his head and sighed, and said bluntly that Mo Enemy's family has a great cause, a poor and backward Yuexi, and let him govern so many belongings, if he is allowed to occupy a big county like Tongcheng, I am afraid that the 176th Division will not be enough for him to see. Mo Di laughed and told Zhou Mengxiong that Yuexi is a blessed land, a treasure land, beautiful mountains and rivers, the people are industrious, there are no internal and external troubles, and they can live and work in peace and contentment. Zhou Mengxiong thought about it, although Tongcheng Qianshan is rich, but there are occasional wars, even if a small battle is fought, it will not be able to heal the wounds for a year and a half, and Yuexi is different, this is the only county in Anqing Prefecture that the Japanese army has not reached. Thinking of this, Zhou Mengxiong felt a little envious.

As soon as they said go, the two first battalions were one part, led by Xie Qi, the two second battalions were one part, led by Jin Tongxuan, and the two third battalions were one part, led by Yao Yutian, chief of staff of the 138th Division. As for Mo Di, following Shi Chongying's action, Qin Guosheng, director of the Political Department, once again acted as Mo Di's adjutant.

Starting from Kongcheng to Lujiang, the whole journey is forty kilometers, and Mo Di plans to set off early in the morning, strive to get there in one day, and camp on the road, which is not a good idea. Knowing that the Mo Enemy Department set off today, Wei Jiebo also left the Donglu Camp early in the morning, and asked Yan Kuan, the police chief of Lujiang County, to temporarily take charge of the security of the Lao Green Camp. Yan Kuan knew that Mo Enemy led his troops over, and he was very excited, and took all the prisoners in Lujiang Prison to Donglvlin, and did a day's cleaning, not to mention the light of the windows, not even a single weed on the road.

The East Green Battalion is a standard battalion, and the Qing army has three battalions under its own jurisdiction, about 2,000 people, and the houses here are also built according to this specification, compared to the invincible troops of nearly 3,000 people, the resettlement work is a bit more difficult to do. When Yan Kuan was in a dilemma, Liao Cannon arrived as the vanguard. Liao Cannon smiled and told Yan Kuan that there was no need to worry about accommodation, the 176th Division Field Supplement Regiment had its own tent, and the East Green Battalion had a big playground, so you could camp at will. When you come to eat, you should prepare early, come from Tongcheng, eat dry food at noon, don't eat dry food at night. Yan Kuan told Liao Da Cannon, don't worry about this, as soon as the county magistrate heard that it was Chief Mo who brought the troops over, he knew that the little devil in Shengqiao couldn't stay still, and the grain that had already been returned to the warehouse would be allocated tomorrow, and he also deliberately killed ten pigs today to give Chief Mo the wind.

Liao Dacang smiled, his own boss is different, Wei Jiebo has been here for more than half a month, and he can't even eat bran vegetables, and as soon as his boss arrives, he will directly kill ten pigs. Although it is evenly divided, there are not many taels per person, but it is not the intention of others.

Mo Di didn't know that Lujiang killed pigs for a banquet, and was laughing with Shi Chong that he had no foresight, and the livestock and carts that were sold for half a month were bought back yesterday at a price much higher than the selling price, which was really a loss. Shi Zhong also told Mo Di with a smile that the horses captured last time were all pack horses, not war horses, so even Mo Di's mounts were not left, and all of them were sold. Next time, if you can capture the Japanese army's oceanic horses, why do you have to leave a few for the commanders to travel. Mo Di smiled and said, there is no need to travel, the brothers can walk, and I can also walk. In general, the troops will keep ten or eight horses to communicate, but the enemy department does not have it, because their walkie-talkies have been distributed to the company, and the companies can basically keep in touch with each other within 20 kilometers, but sometimes they will string strings with the little devils, and everyone talks with chickens and ducks, and it is also very fun. It's just that each company will reduce its combat strength by three because this walkie-talkie is too heavy, about 40 pounds, one person carries it, which is considered a load, and there are two people who carry a hand-cranked generator. The walkie-talkies of the field supplement regiment were all captured from the Japanese army, which was much stronger than the 15W wireless transmitter manufactured by the Hunan Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory. All the telegraphers use the Guibei native dialect to talk, not to mention that the Japanese do not understand, even the Chinese, and the vast majority of them do not understand.

The night has ended, the lights in the East Green Camp are brilliant, and at the forefront is Xie Bi, who set off from Kongcheng, and under the arrangement of Liao Cannon and Yan Kuan, they set up tents on the playground. Xie Bi couldn't figure out why he arrived at the earliest, not only could he not choose first, but he had to live in the tent. Ouyang Jin told him that this was to allow the later ones to be placed as quickly as possible. The first battalion of the 138th Division Field Supplement Regiment did not have tents, so they could go to the barracks to settle down, and after Zhong Liang's third battalion arrived in a while, let them go to set up tents again. As soon as Xie Bi heard this, he immediately understood that the 176th Division's field supplement regiment, from top to bottom, just looked at the overall situation, and threw himself, the field supplement regiment, out several streets.

Looking at it again, the Liao cannons, who came earlier than them, set up their tents in the most inconvenient corner of the playground, just so that the later brothers could settle down earlier. I saw the hot water that Liao cannons boiled for the two brothers in the first battalion, the bath buckets prepared, and the steaming hot baths of the three big baths. Xie Qi blushed a little. Xie Bi asked the first battalion of the 138th Division to wash first, and then the first battalion of the 176th Division, and when the first battalion of the 176th Division was washed, the first battalion of the 138th Division was responsible for re-boiling hot water for the later brothers. Hearing the order, the barracks suddenly burst into jubilation, not because there was water to bathe, but because of the order of Deputy Xie Tuan, Deputy Xie Tuan is a native of Xinyi, Guangdong, "washing" and "death" are not distinguished, and the order is: "The first battalion of the 138th Division Field Supplement Regiment died first, the first battalion of the 138th Division Field Supplement Regiment died, and the first battalion of the 176th Division Field Supplement Regiment died." The brothers rejoiced and said, "We will not die!" ”

Half an hour later, Yao Yutian's third division from Luting also entered the Donglu camp, Zhong Liang didn't say a word, the whole battalion camped on the playground, and after watching Yan Kuan take the third battalion of the 138th Division Field Supplement Regiment down, Yao Yutian found Xie Bi and said, We also have to find a way to get the tent, otherwise, it will be too embarrassing. Xie Bi said that his field supplement regiment is not like the regular army, not like the guerrillas, and even inferior to the militia. Yao Yutian believes that the reason why his field supplement group has become like this is mainly due to relying too much on the materials allocated from above. At the beginning of the establishment of the field supplement regiment, it was clear that the food was self-raised, and the ordnance was mainly captured, but as a result, he occupied a Huoshan that was much richer than the 176th regiment of the field supplement regiment, but he lived much worse than others, which was entirely caused by his own inability to live. This time, with the 176th regiment and the field to make up the regiment, not only to learn how the other party fights, but also to learn how the other party lives.

After another half an hour, Jin Tongxuan's troops, who had set out from Gaoqiao, also arrived at the Donglu Camp, this time there were enough barracks dormitories, and there was no need to build tents, and soon, the brothers of the two battalions were settled. The brothers of the third battalion of the 138th Division Field Supplement Regiment boiled the water to the point that it was hot, and when Jin Tongxuan's troops were all washed, the invincible troops who set out from Tongcheng arrived.

At the same time as Mo Di arrived, the county magistrate Ling Qianfeng also appeared at the gate of the East Green Battalion.

"Eat first, eat and then take a shower." As soon as I walked into the barracks, I heard Mo Di say. He knew that the first echelon had arrived for almost two hours, and the Liao artillery department, which had arrived early, had already had a drum in its stomach. If they don't arrive, they won't eat first, and they'd rather be hungry than boil the pot.

The most convenient barracks were left to the guard battalion of Shi Chong, three down and five divided by two, the guard battalion put away the luggage, and returned to the canteen, where it was already boiling and surging.

Seeing Mo Di and Ling Qianfeng walking in with Xie Qi, Yao Yutian, Jin Tongxuan, and Yan Kuan, they only heard Qin Guosheng shout: "Stand up." All the brothers of the 176th Division and the Field Supplement Regiment stood up in unison, and the brothers of the 138th Division and the Field Supplement Regiment were a little inexplicable, hesitated for a moment, and stood up in twos and threes. I heard Qin Guosheng shout again: "Lizheng." When the brothers of both regiments heard the order, they stood up at the same time, and the barracks became solemn.

"Hello sir!" Under the leadership of Qin Guosheng, everyone greeted the invincibles in unison.

Mo Di waved his hand and said, "The brothers have walked for a day and worked hard. Thank you County Magistrate Ling, thank you Director Yan for the reception banquet, drink a big bowl of wine, eat a large piece of meat, this kind of treatment, we haven't enjoyed it for a while. Everyone listen to the password, stand upright, salute, thank you County Magistrate Ling! ”

A thunderous voice suddenly sounded in the barracks: "Thank you, County Magistrate Ling!" ”

Ling Qianfeng was a little moved, his hands were raised, as if he had surrendered, and as if he was saluting, and kept saying in his mouth: "It should be, it should be, it's polite." "Rao was born as a literati, and he has become poor at words.

Mo Di took Ling Qianfeng, Xie Qi, Yao Yutian, Jin Tongxuan, Qin Guosheng, and Yan Kuan to sit in the chief, Ling Qianfeng sat on the main seat, pulled Mo Di to the guest of honor, and said: "Let me sit in this seat today, starting tomorrow, if I come here again, the two of us will have to change positions." Mo Di laughed, but no, this is the master of Lujiang in front of him, but the master of this Donglu Camp, for the next period of time, should be himself. He didn't know what Ling Qianfeng meant, in Ling Qianfeng's opinion, the commander of the garrison of Lujiang was best invincible, because only invincible could he be at ease in this place of four battles, and others might not have this ability.

Mo Di knew that he was just a passer-by in Lujiang, and no matter how he was arranged, he would not be arranged to this place, it was too rich here, and it was a bit of a waste to hand it over to a wild supplement group.

The reception banquet did not last long, Mo Di only gave each soldier one or two drinks, very momentary, you can't drink and make mistakes, if Luo Wei is there, I'm afraid that there will be no one or two. After a day of walking, I took a hot bath, and as soon as I was full, I was tired. Soon, the seats were dispersed, and there was a playground in Nuoda, leaving only the invincible table.

Ling Qianfeng asked the sentence he was most worried about: Head Mo, if you say a heart-to-heart word, are you sure about Shengqiao?
