Chapter 13: Changing Guards (44)

Early the next morning, the Type 94 six-wheeled truck left Meicheng and headed for Tongcheng. There are a lot of things in the car, it is a gift from Li Benyi and others to Mo Di, Mo Di went to Tongcheng to prepare for the construction of Tonglu No Garrison Headquarters, the Garrison Command has never been the same system as the regular army, Li Benyi is in Mingguang, and there is also a guerrilla column commander title, so he can return to the regular army. If the enemy is gone, it is difficult to say whether he can return to the regular army. With his invincible talent, he will be wronged in the garrison in the future, and it will be wasted.

At the Yujing Wanhe ferry, the car waited for a while before the smooth transition, and then went to Yuantan, the chessboard, and walked out of the jurisdiction of the national army. There are no more than ten miles, which is the horse temple, which is a three-regardless area, which belongs to the sphere of influence of the Gaohebu garrison regiment.

Mo Enemy came from afar, someone had already informed Liu Jin, the head of the Gaohebu garrison regiment, Liu Jin greeted him early in the morning, and took three battalion commanders to buy 30 catties of fine pork in Gaohebu, and also let go of a sheep. When Mo Di arrived at the horse temple, it was the time when the mutton tasted.

Not far from the chessboard, at Lesheng Bridge, I saw someone checking the car in front of me, which startled Sun Cheng. When I got closer, it was Sun Quan who was leading people to show off his might, Sun Cheng was suddenly happy, stopped the car, stretched out his head and shouted: "Brother Quan, which song is this singing?" ”

Sun Quan glanced at Sun Cheng who was driving, and then looked at Mo Di who was sitting next to Sun Cheng, first straightened up and made a report: "Sun Quan, the commander of the second battalion of the Gaohebu Garrison Regiment, has seen Chief Mo. ”

"Brother Sun was promoted to battalion commander, I haven't congratulated him in person, this time, I must make up for it." Mo Di opened the car door, walked down, stretched out his hand to Sun Quan, and said, "If my guess is right, this is specifically to block me, right?" ”

Sun Quan held Mo Enemy's hand with both hands, bowed slightly, and said: "It's not a block, our group seat said, Chief Mo is coming from afar, we must meet thirty miles away, otherwise, it will be rude." ”

Mo Di smiled and said: "Thank you, this has arrived, should Battalion Commander Sun complete the task and leave." ”

"Of course." Sun Quan ordered the people he had brought with him to retreat. Sun Quan didn't have many people, about 20 people, and he also drove a car, which was a Nissan 80-year-old rabbit. Take the lead and open in front of the head.

Sun Quan didn't go to sit on the old rabbit, but asked Mo Di to get in the car, stand on the pedal outside the door of Mo Di's car, and chat with Mo Di while walking. The pedal outside the door is not difficult to stand, the pedal area is not small, the back is the trunk, the body can lean on the trunk, the left hand can also grasp the front rearview mirror, the right hand from the door window into the car, carrying the door, is very stable. Half of the head sticks into the cab, so as not to delay chatting. I heard that some doglegs are particularly accustomed to standing in this position, and as soon as the car opens, the wind blows up the cardigan of poplin material, revealing the shell gun with red tassels inside, which is very handy.

"If you are promoted to battalion commander, your salary has risen, right?" Mo Di asked with a smile.

"There is one more bar on the shoulder, two stars are missing, and I don't know if there is more money and less money." Sun Quan said.

"Why?" Puzzled asked.

"During this time, Anqing made a fuss about military salaries, and we could only pay living expenses, not military salaries." Sun Quan said: "I am single, and I feed the whole family one by one, and I am not hungry to nothing, and those who rely on military salaries to eat are guilty." ”

"How can you do it if you want the horses to run and not give grass to eat?" Mo Di said: "Anqing won't even be able to afford your military salary." ”

"I've heard that it's not that I can't afford it, it's that I don't want to send it." Sun Quan said: "There are two garrison regiments under the Anqing Garrison Headquarters, one is the Liu Mai Garrison Regiment of the General Shop, and the other is the Liu Jin Garrison Regiment of our Gaohebu. ”

"Hehe, Liu Zuoxin is going to plan to make a plan, this is to learn from the national army, so that you can become a field supplement group!" Mo Di said: "It's just that Gaohebu is too small, and it's a bit difficult to raise a regiment." Huaining is a place, rich in Shipai, Shipai is Hao Wenbo's territory, Zhao Jin ate and drank spicy food at that time, and he would not let the garrison of Gaohebu eat a little residue. ”

"Yes." Sun Quan said: "So, in the past few months, we have started to set up cards on several roads leading to Meicheng, Tongcheng and Anqing, collect tolls, and get a marine police team to collect ship taxes. The day before yesterday, I also had a fight with someone because of the toll collection, the convoy went from Hefei to Anqing, first collected it at the intersection of Tongcheng, and then collected it again at the intersection of Anqing, I didn't do it, I wanted to play a scoundrel, I happened to be there, and I almost didn't shoot the kid down. There are waterways and dry roads in Gaohebu, as long as the black heart is harvested, the income is not bad, the Guanqiao Post is much worse, there is no military salary, and some people run away every day, I heard that there are less than 300 people left in a regiment of Liu Mai. Originally, there were not enough people in our regiment, so we ran a little half from the main store, and we are now full. ”

The 21st Group Army was really able to raise its own food and salaries, and the only thing that the 21 st Group Army was able to raise its own food and salary was its own field supplement regiment, and the other units basically existed in name only. Liu Zuoxin wants to learn from Li Pinxian, but I'm afraid it won't be easy.

While chatting, the five-mile journey was in a blink of an eye, and the rabbits in front stopped at the entrance of Mamiao Village, and they had to serve as a vigilance. Sun Quan continued to drive into the village with the ninety-four style six wheels, and stopped at the gate of the Wang family ancestral hall.

Someone had already reported that Liu Jin came out with the first battalion commander Zhang Ning and the third battalion commander Zhang Defu.

Mo Di got out of the car, and said with a smile with both hands: "Brother Liu's battalion is the head of the Hebu garrison regiment, Mo failed to congratulate him in time, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”

Even if you are promoted to the post of the Peaceful Founding Army, although the difference between the regiment commander and the battalion commander is said to be one level, it is a chasm. If Liu Jin had to bow his head in front of Mo Enemy before, then after becoming the head of the Gaohebu garrison regiment, the gap was significantly shortened a lot. Judging from the shoulders, Mo Di is the colonel of Ermaosan, and Liu Jin is the lieutenant colonel of Ermaoer, but everyone has entered the class of regiment commanders, and they feel basically equal. If Mo Di still regarded Liu Jin as a subordinate before, then today, he has regarded Liu Jin as a colleague on the same level as himself. Even if it's a joke, it's reciprocal, and the title becomes brother.

Liu Jin laughed and said: "Whether it's the battalion commander or the regimental seat, I'm only in Gaohebu, there are a lot more people, and there are a lot more guns, but the money is too small, and I can't make ends meet." In the past few months, I have been wanting to talk to Brother Mo, and I want to learn how Brother Mo runs the Wild Supplement Group, so that I can get some grain and grass back to feed the more than 1,000 people under him. ”

Mo Di shook his head and said: "To raise soldiers, you have to learn from the Red Army, people don't pay a penny, and people are fighting more and more, and when they start fighting, one is more desperate than the other." ”

"Can't learn!" Liu Jin said: "The Red Army belongs to the Boxers, rushing forward with slogans, invulnerable, and proud of death. I'll just learn to make up for the group. ”

The fragrance of mutton has already spread outside the ancestral hall.

There were five people sitting at a table of eight immortals, and Liu Jin took his three battalion commanders, plus Mo Enemy. Liu Jin came to greet Mo Di, but he couldn't be open, so he chose the horse temple not close to Gaohe Port to pick up Mo Di.

"How is your uncle?" Mo Di asked Zhang Defu.

"It's good, I can eat and drink, and I married a house-filler." Zhang Defu said with a wicked smile: "Although I was lame before, at least I could walk, but now when I get up in the morning, my feet are soft." ”

"That's your aunt is amazing, she can absorb soil when she sits on the ground, and Old Man Zhang has sucked yang energy." Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Since Old Man Zhang married this little concubine, he has gone to bed early and got up late every day, which has become the story of Gaohebu. ”

"Now the business of Houde Building is very good, not to mention the daily income, at least more than half a bucket." Sun Quan said: "There is a way to be full of warmth and lust, and it is understandable for Old Man Zhang to fill the house." If I had as much money as he had, I would marry him three or five times and not sleep for a week. ”

"You pull it down, just your little body, you don't sleep for a week, I'm afraid that in less than two months, you'll be finished." Seno scrapes the bones, how long can your bones be scraped. Zhang Defu said: "I went back to celebrate the festival in the middle of July, and told my uncle to let him be temperate, so as not to make him have another bag of clothes for burning sacrifices in the middle of July next year." ”

A few people laughed.

Wine is good wine, food is good food, but unfortunately Mo Di has to rush in the afternoon, so he can only order it until now, and he can't let go of it. However, Liu Jin didn't want to wronged himself, so he gulped down.

It can be seen that Liu Jin has something on his mind, and Mo Di casually said a few words, and Liu Jin said what was on his mind: "Brother Mo, I'm not afraid to tell you that the situation in Anqing is not good." Li Guishi returned from Lujiang, and the Japanese army went to Nanchang again, not only the troops were tight, but even the financial resources were also very tight. The headquarters of the Japanese army in Nanjing, in order to win the battle in Changsha, can be said to have poured all the power along the Yangtze River, if the battle of Changsha can be won, it is fine, if it cannot be defeated, I am afraid that the life of Anqing will be even more sad. ”

Mo Di learned in Meicheng that yesterday, September 7, 1941, there was a fierce shootout in Dayun Mountain, Changsha. Located a few kilometers north of the Xinqiang River, with an altitude of 960 meters, Dayun Mountain is one of the important forward positions of the Ninth War Zone. Stationed in Dayun Mountain is the 306th Regiment of Bai Zhanghui's 102nd Division of Ou Zhen's 4th Army, and the commander of the 306th Regiment is Liang Cailin, Mo Di's old classmate in Yougan's class. Since he changed his guard to Dayun Mountain, he sent a company every day to attack the rear of the Japanese army and destroy its transportation facilities, mainly in order to obtain the strategic materials of the Japanese army.

In order to prepare for the "plus operation" and cover the concentration of its main force to the north of the Xinqiang River, and to occupy a large river crossing area, the Japanese 11th Army ordered the 6th Division, which was originally garrisoned in the Yueyang area, to sweep Dayun Mountain and remove the threat from this flank. On the morning of September 7, the 23rd and 45th Wings of the 6th Division, with the support of aviation, launched an attack from Zhongfang to Yanling and Zhanjiaqiao on the north side of Dayun Mountain. Its 13th Wing attacked the west side of Dayun Mountain and engaged in a fierce battle with the defending 102nd Division.

General Ou Zhen found that the 40th Division of the Japanese Army in the Xianning area of southern Hubei was moving to northern Hunan, and judged that it was a change of defense with the 6th Division, and the Japanese army's attack on Dayun Mountain was a routine offensive before the change of defense. So he ordered Zhang Deneng's 59th Division to reinforce Bai Huizhang's 102nd Division, trying to hold back the 6th Division, and at the same time reported to the Ninth Theater Command. Commander Xue Yue, commander of the theater, sent Yang Sen's 27th Group Army to coordinate the operation, and Yang Hanyu's 20th Army attacked the Japanese army from Tongcheng to the west, and took advantage of the Japanese army's change of defense to deal a blow.

Liu Jin told Mo Di that the Battle of Changsha was by no means as simple as it seemed, and the Battle of Dalongshan was just the beginning, because more than 20,000 Japanese troops were withdrawn from Anhui and Jiangsu to assist in the defense of Jiangxi, and the purpose was to allow the 13th Division and the 33rd Division stationed in Jiangxi to withdraw the Abyss Detachment in Nanchang, the Araki Detachment in Anyi, the Pingye Detachment in Ruichang and the Jiangteng Detachment to go to northern Hunan to help. Since August, the Japanese army began to plan this operation, which is by no means as simple as a local conflict in Dalongshan, and next, the Japanese army will definitely break through the Xinqiang River and kill Changsha.

In order to support the Battle of Changsha, the last grain of Anqing was transported and the last penny was taken, and now Anqing can be described as an empty city, and if the 48th Army is interested, it can be taken at any time.

Mo Di smiled and said, "What are you going to do with it?" Transferring food from Lihuang to raise Anqing? ”

Liu Jin laughed, this kind of thing, someone may do it, but it is by no means invincible.

Mo Di told Liu Jin that he would propose to the military headquarters of the 48th Army that Liu Jin's Gaohebu garrison regiment be brought under the banner of the Tonglu No Garrison Command, so that Liu Jin would have great autonomy. Liu Jin was overjoyed, he knew that in Anqing, it was the world of the 48th Army, and the Peaceful Founding Army and the Japanese army could not play Su Zuxin, especially after the Seventh Army moved eastward and added a 173rd Division, the strength of the National Army at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain increased greatly, and the initiative was all in the hands of the National Army. In April and May, the two major battles in Lujiang ended in the defeat of the Japanese puppet army, and it is foreseeable that if the Japanese puppet army wants to take the initiative to fight again, the result will be the same.

Farewell to Liu Jin, Xiao Liulun continued to go north, in Sun Quan's people led people, exempted from two charges, saved a lot, at the exit, Mo Di took some gifts to the brother who kept the card, it was a comfort, asked, how much does a truck charge, the brother who kept the card said that there is no score, happy to collect less, annoyed to charge more, anyway, there is a gun is the king of grass, if you have the ability, don't go from here next time. Mo Di shook his head, and at half past five in the afternoon, the car arrived in Tongcheng.

Zhou Mengxiong, the head of the 528th Regiment of the 176th Division stationed in Tongcheng, accompanied Wei Jiqing, the county magistrate of Tongcheng County, to greet him outside the city. Tongcheng County, which supports a 528 regiment, is already overstretched, but I am afraid that I will not be able to give your department too much support.

Mo Di knew that he had somehow added an institution, an obviously redundant and duplicative agency, and handed over the responsibility of supporting this institution to the county below, no wonder County Magistrate Wei was angry. He smiled, didn't answer, and followed Head Zhou and County Magistrate Wei to the courtyard they had found. Let's settle down with food and shelter first, and then talk about other problems.
