Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (10)

Mo Di's wishful thinking did not come true, and the candidate for the chief of staff was determined above, but no one was sent, because the appointed chief of staff of the 1056 regiment turned out to be Zhao Guolong. After Zhao Guolong, who sent the silver dollar back to Guilin, handed over the money to Zhang Xiangpu, he received a notice from the military department without any ideological preparation and entered the Pingle Campus of the Sixth Branch of the Central Military Academy to study. During his studies, he concurrently served as the chief of staff of the 1056th Regiment, and at the end of his studies, he served as the chief of staff of the 1056th Regiment.

"People are not as good as heaven!" Commander Mo sighed, it was really unexpected, and it seemed that no one could be sent, so he had no choice but to adjust Qin Guosheng to the commander of the guard company.

Luo Wei suppressed a smile and said to Mo Di: "Boss, Guolong is the chief of staff, which is more suitable than others, and ordinary people in our regiment really can't get in." Although Guolong said that his position was the commander of the guard company, his military rank was major, and it was okay to serve as the chief of staff, and he could be promoted to lieutenant colonel if he adjusted it. Among our brothers, we must count Guolong who is cautious and moves in everything, and if he can study in the military academy system this time, he will definitely become a wise general in time. ”

Mo Di stayed in the headquarters of Taihu Lake for four days, and all kinds of intelligence had basically been gathered. Li Songde left for Yuexi the day after the arrival of the guard battalion, and the previous brigade headquarters became the headquarters of Mo Di, and every day Mo Di took Luo Wei and Gao Guixuan Qin Guosheng and others to stay in the empty command headquarters, and they were both commanders and staff officers and recorders, and they were very busy.

Hao Wenbo's guerrillas in western Anhui suffered considerable losses in the Battle of Anqing, and most of the original Ninth Guerrilla Brigade was killed or wounded, and the newly established Ninth Guerrilla Brigade after the merger of the two sides was only more than 300 men and one battalion. Peng Wu's 2nd Battalion retreated to Yuexi immediately after the battle, leaving only the 9th Guerrilla Brigade, which numbered about 300 men, to fight around Shipai. There is no base area, there is no supply supplement, and he is chased by the Japanese puppet army, so he can only rely on robbing houses and houses, and living with a full meal.

"This Hao Wenbo is really a rat into the bellows, and he is angry at both ends." Qin Guosheng habitually holds a hard-shell scroll to speak, according to him, it will not be wrong to speak like this, it is somewhat set in tone, and it will not deviate from the topic. Sometimes a little too clear-eyed, but very much appreciated by Modi, he said: "Hao Wenbo is the proud disciple of Zhu Yanqiu, the boss of the Anhui Youth Gang and the old man of the Alliance. After Liu Zhenhua became chairman of Anhui Province, he secretly arrested and killed Zhu Yanqiu on the grounds of destroying tax revenues. Hao Wenbo was also imprisoned for five years until he was released after the Battle of Songhu. After being released from prison, Hao Wenbo organized a civilian armed force, mainly composed of members of the Youth Gang, to operate in the Wuwei Lujiang area. During the Battle of Taierzhuang, in order to compete with Gao Jingting's fourth detachment, the Fifth Theater incorporated it into the first special task force of the 13th Guerrilla Column. Because of a conflict with the detachment leader Zhu Liang, this guy actually pulled the team away without authorization. The Japanese puppet Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui appeasement troops in Anqing City learned the news that Hao Wenbo had taken the team and went it alone, and sent personnel to contact Hao Wenbo on a single line. Although Hao Wenbo is unorganized and undisciplined, and the grass king has serious habits, he has great national integrity and cannot embark on the road of rebellion and defection to the enemy. At the same time as the Japanese puppet appeasement army, it also made contact with the 176th Division and was organized as the third detachment of the 11th Advance Team. He made a plan, pretended to agree to take up the post of commander of the First Division of the Founding Army, and decided to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the surrender of the puppet Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui appeasement troops to Anqing to launch a strong attack on Anqing. Although the attack on Anqing did not achieve the expected goal, Hao Wenbo, the commander of the first division of the Founding Army, became a thorn in the side of the appeasement army. The 176th Division was far away in Lu'an, and it couldn't give Hao Wenbo much care, so he was given the establishment of the Ninth Guerrilla Brigade and left him to fend for himself. In the past ten days, Hao Wenbo's department has been sleeping in the open air, which is really hard, and the deserters are more than one day a day, not to mention being attacked by the Japanese, as long as there is a heavy rain, this team will be scattered. ”

"Inform him and let him go to Qianshan, the guard camp has come to Taihu Lake, and there are enough camps for them to live in." Mo Di said.

"He passed through Huangdun on the way to escape, and Deputy Jiang Tuan sent someone to wait for him there, contact him, and ask him to go to Qianshan, but he refused, probably because he was afraid of being adopted by us." Qin Guosheng said.

"Co-optation? I really look down on his 300 people! Mo Di smiled: "We do our best, he doesn't know the hearts of good people, let him go." Now that it has been recruited, there will still be a position of battalion commander, and if there is another battle, it is estimated that there will be no position for company commander. ”

"Totally." Qin Guosheng said: "According to intelligence, the pursuit of Hao Wenbo's department was a Japanese squadron in Anqing and a battalion of the Appeasement Army, which has been following Hao Wenbo's department unabated, and is currently facing Hao Wenbo's department across the river from Shangshipai. According to Shi Chong's news, the Japanese puppet army in the Wangjiang area also had abnormal movements, and if the estimate was good, it should be to attack Hao Wenbo's department. ”

Qin Guosheng was a cadet who was added to the 526 Brigade after the Battle of Hefei, graduated from the Guilin Military Academy, and served as the deputy company commander of the guard company with the rank of second lieutenant, entirely because of Zhao Guolong's appreciation. As soon as he arrived at the guard company, he occupied the first position in the intelligence and communications platoon with his sensitivity to intelligence, and then became deputy company commander and then company commander, but no one dared to have any objections.

"Don't let the enemy form a flanking attack." Mo Di said: "Hao Wenbo doesn't believe us, but we can't help but take care of him, as a team that dares to fight the Japanese face to face, we have the responsibility to help him." Let's talk about the situation in Wangjiang. ”

"There is a Japanese infantry brigade in Wangjiang, the captain is called Fujita Hou, who is a remnant of the soldiers who returned from Nanchang, the battalion is full of wounded soldiers, and there are not enough soldiers, and there is less than a squadron that can fight." Qin Guosheng said: "The founding army has placed a regiment here, a full regiment, with more than 1,000 people, and the regiment commander's surname is Qian, called Qian Kun. ”

"Hehe, the Founding Army? I don't know how strong it is! Mo Di said: "Wang Jingwei's troops should still have some combat power!" ”

Luo Wei and the others all shook their heads, they had never had a face-to-face battle with the puppet army, and they didn't know their depth.

"Is there any news from Wu Wannian in Wangjiang?" Mo Di asked.

"Yes." Qin Guosheng continued to open the scroll in his hand and said: "In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Wangjiang formed a private army from the Qing Gang, called the National Salvation Army, and the boss was called Tao Taiping. Since the addition of Wu Wannian, a person from Wuwei, the National Salvation Army has changed a lot, with more than 300 people, and its weapons have changed from knives, guns, and sticks to those made in Hanyang and Gongxian, and it has grown into the number one force in Wangjiang County. Xu Weiyi, the magistrate of Wangjiang County, adopted the method of recruiting an army to incorporate the National Salvation Army into the county standing brigade, with Tao as the captain and Wu as the deputy of the team. It is said that this Tao Brigade Captain has a good relationship with the New Fourth Army and has a close relationship. ”

"Oh!" Mo Di asked thoughtfully, "Do they fight the Japanese?" ”

"Hit." Qin Guosheng said: "In February this year, the Japanese army in Anqing City sent a fleet of ships up the river and turned into the Huayang River at Huayang. At that time, it was the Chinese New Year, and many people were washing their belongings by the Huayang River, and the Japanese army actually opened fire brazenly. One person was killed, eight were wounded, and the people fled to the shore in fright. In a fit of rage, Wu Wannian ignored Tao Taiping's obstruction, laid fishing nets in the lower reaches of the Huayang River, entangled the returning Japanese ships, and bombarded the riverside with iron sand with a gun, causing the Japanese troops to swim and flee in panic, and the motorboat was burned. ”

"Hehe, yes, it's a team that dares to compete face-to-face with the Japanese!" Mo Di said appreciatively: "I don't care who they have a close relationship with, as long as they fight the Japanese, they will be our allies." Very good, very good, Hao Wenbo has the strength of one battalion, Wu Wannian also has the strength of one battalion, plus our two battalions, I don't believe that I can't take care of a regiment of the appeasement army. ”

Unfolding the map on the table, Mo Di took a closer look at the geographical location of Taihu Lake Wangjiang and Shipai, and put the paperweight in Qianshan, where there are still two battalions that can be used as his reserve force.

The first step is to get in touch with Hao Wenbo and Wu Wannian.

The second step is how to use the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppet army to clean up this group of Japanese puppet army.

In the third step, it would be great if the Japanese reinforcements in Anqing could be transferred out and the two battalions in Qianshan could take advantage of it!

Ordered the thin monkey to be responsible for contacting Hao Wenbo of Shipai and revealing the news of the Japanese puppet army's attack on both sides. At the same time, he asked Shi Zhong to contact Wu Wannian in Wangjiang, and only said that the commander of the 1056 regiment, Mo Di, greeted him and asked him to gather at Taihu Lake when he was free.

"Regiment Commander, I'm worried that Hao Wenbo won't accept our kindness and ignore the Chief of Staff Hou." Qin Guosheng said worriedly.

"It shouldn't be, the enemy is current, I believe that Hao Wenbo will not be rigid to this extent." Mo Di said: "He can play the trick of marrying one woman to two families, which shows that he is not a stupid person." He was afraid of being co-opted, and he was always worried that others would take over his team, which would affect his free time. We didn't accept him, it was a good intention, and if he didn't accept our kindness, then we had to let it go. ”

"The so-called sins made by heaven can still be forgiven for their own sins and cannot live, is that what it means?" Qin Guosheng said.

Luo Wei immediately interrupted Qin Guosheng's words and said, "Stop, stop, they are friendly troops, you can't say that." Those who can storm Anqing should have paid for life and death a long time ago, but they are just short-sighted for a while. ”

"Hehehehehe!" Mo Di smiled: "Like us, they are also part of the anti-Japanese resistance, even if they die on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese resistance, it can be regarded as a good death." ”

Hao Wenbo can accept his kindness, Mo Di doesn't care, he has already made up his mind, if Hao Wenbo insists on not joining forces with him and wants to leave Shipai, he will let the second battalion of the noble selection pretend to be Hao Wenbo's department, lure the Japanese puppet army who came to encircle and suppress it to concentrate in Shipai, and then let Ouyang Jin and Zhong Dingnai outflank him, and if he doesn't pack up this group of Japanese puppet troops who dare to leave Anqing, he will not let go.

When he said his thoughts, Gao Guixuan smiled and said, "Boss, should we put the battlefield on the west bank of the Anhui River where we fought side by side with the Sichuan army last time, fight across the river from the Japanese puppet army from Anqing, and then let the first and third battalions outflank from the east." ”

Luo Wei also smiled and said, "If there is really a confrontation across the river, we don't need one battalion and three battalions, just our guard battalion, it is enough to deal with them." ”

"Don't think too easily." Mo Di reminded: "At present, the most important thing is to find out what the strength of this group of Japanese puppet troops is, whether there is artillery, whether there is poison gas, we have to find out their intentions on the east bank of the Anhui River, whether to attack independently or wait until the reinforcements from Wangjiang arrive and then attack from both sides, we must know the other before we can start." ”

Mo Di knew that his subordinates were not mature enough, and they needed to be guided and pointed, patiently expressing their own opinions, not only saying what they were but also saying why. The three of you say a word, and an independent battle plan is presented on Qin Guosheng's file. In the plan, Hao Wenbo's troops were not taken into account at all, and the Hao Wenbo unit that lured the Japanese puppet army out had already completed his mission, and whether he could make any more achievements depended on whether he was on the road! The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a war of nationalities, and all units and units needed to cooperate sincerely against the enemy, especially behind enemy lines, and form superiority in strength through joint operations, which was one of the magic weapons for victory.
