Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (9)

When Luo Wei arrived at Taihu Lake, it was already evening, and Luo Wei arrived at the same time as the order of the Quanxu Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Chen Zhengxin was appointed as the head of the special mission directly under the 46th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. The appointment and dismissal of posts above the regiment commander are the responsibility of the Quanxu Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which means that once you become the regiment commander, you can be regarded as entering the archives of the Ministry of Military Affairs. As for the post of commander of the guard battalion of the 526 brigade, it was appointed by the 21st Army itself. The appointment of the 21st Group Army came later, with Luo Wei as the battalion commander, Shi Zhong as the deputy battalion commander, and the thin monkey of the daimyo Hou Quan as the chief of staff. The three of them still served as the commanders of each company, and Nguyen Dong Thang and Wei Qicai were dismissed from their posts and arranged separately by the 46th Army.

A dazzling transfer took the guard battalion by surprise, followed by a stack of congratulations. The most surprising thing was Ruan Dongsheng and Wei Qicai, they knew what this adjustment meant, and they would follow Chen Zhengxin back to Guangxi to open up another new world, Chen Zhengxin told them that each of the three of them could take ten people away, that is, take thirty people away, which would be the team of the 46th Army Special Service Group.

Ruan Dongsheng was very cunning, and asked Chen Zhengxin to beg Mo Enemy and ask to take away Liao Shanmin, the deputy company commander of the Thin Monkey Company, with this person, plus the two of them, the three battalion commanders of the special service group were basically settled, as for Zhong Liang of Shi Chonglian, he was more suitable than Liao Shanmin, but it was estimated that Boss Mo would not let him take away.

Luo Wei was inexplicably promoted to battalion commander, and he was also surprised, and in addition to surprise, he secretly asked Chen Zhengxin why he didn't take Shi Zhong and the thin monkey away and let them also be promoted to battalion commander. Chen Zhengxin told Luo Wei that firstly, Boss Mo also wanted people here, and secondly, he did not know the details of the 46th Army, if the 46th Army still did not use the old routines of the past, and used people to fill in the war, the ability of the special service regiment to fill in the trenches was not necessarily comparable to that of ordinary infantry regiments. Luo Wei immediately understood Chen Zhengxin's painstaking efforts, and swore to Chen Zhengxin that he would definitely take the guard camp well, so that the brothers could all survive in this chaos.

While welcoming the arrival of the guard battalion at Taihu Lake, the dinner also added a theme, which was to give food to Chen Zhengxin, Ruan Dongsheng, Wei Qicai, Liao Shanmin and 40 brothers. is very generous, one person takes ten people, which is considered a team. Because of Ruan Dongsheng's departure, the artillery company was abolished, and most of the main gunners of the artillery company were taken away by Ruan Dongsheng, and the others were disrupted and added to other companies. Mo Enemy knows that in the next situation, he should focus on movement operations, and the relative role of artillery companies will not be too great.

There were originally six companies under the guard battalion, and there were five companies left in one artillery company, Zhao Guolong's guard company, Slender Monkey's assault company, Shi Chong's reconnaissance company, Luo Wei's spy company and heavy fire company.

Luo Wei asked the brigade headquarters to appoint Zhong Liang as the commander of the heavy firepower company, and reformed the heavy firepower company, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was eliminated, and the crutches became the main weapon of the heavy firepower company, and the 30 crutches and 30 grenadiers constituted the main force of the heavy firepower company. I don't know if the fighters of the heavy firepower company have a soft spot or are dissatisfied with their weapons, but each of them chose a southern fourteen as a matching gun, and the full-leather * was carried on his waist, but he was also angry.

Shi Chong's reconnaissance company is equipped with the Southern Sixteen pistols as standard, and there are also some cold weapons such as crossbow arrows and daggers, and even Mo Wei never knows what new things Shi Chong's reconnaissance company will come up with.

The Skinny Monkey's assault company is equipped with a Mauser M712 automatic pistol as standard, except for a standard 10-round magazine, all of which are 20-round long magazines, and the wooden box of the pistol is connected to the handle of the gun, which is a very powerful assault gun. In order to ensure that there were enough bullets, the assault company carried 200 rounds of ammunition per person, and the company's baggage squad had more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition alone.

Luo Wei's spy company was rather chaotic, with a detoxification platoon, mainly based on red-headed bullet spray canisters, a platoon platoon, equipped with ten sets of flamethrower guns, and a baggage platoon, mainly to solve logistical problems for the detoxification platoon and arson platoon. Each person comes standard with a small Browning pistol. This platoon is the real killer weapon of Moji, he has suffered from poison gas bombs, and he is also very keen to use this weapon.

Arrived at the same time as Luo Wei and the rest of Zhao Guolong's guard company, Zhao Guolong was not there, and the deputy company commander Qin Guosheng was in charge, this company was completely Mo Enemy's private soldiers, except for Mo Enemy, no one could be transferred, and even the former Deputy Commander Huang and the current Deputy Regiment Commander Jiang did not dare to order the call. An intelligence and communications platoon, a full-time guard platoon, and a baggage platoon. There were not many regulations on the weapons that the soldiers of this company carried, and each of the full-time guard platoon had a 38 cavalry gun with a bayonet, and as for the intelligence and communications platoon, some of them were good at penetrating the Yang at a hundred paces, while some did not even let go of the gun.

With the arrival of the five companies, Taihu Lake immediately had confidence, and at the banquet, the second battalion commander Gao Guixuan said to Luo Wei: "With your arrival, I can finally have a good night's sleep tonight." A camp guarding one side, this kind of thing is really not done by people. , I don't dare to sleep to death, I open my eyes and close my eyes. ”

Luo Wei said with a smile: "Originally, the guard work should have been done by us, and your combat troops should be mentally prepared for battle." ”

The thin monkey also joked on the side: "Camp Commander Gao has spent a few months in Taihu Lake sitting in the north and facing south, and he is used to it, and there are more of us all of a sudden, I am afraid that we will rob you of your income." ”

Gao Guixuan laughed and said: "Don't talk about this, it's okay, I'll be angry when I talk about this, I don't make as much money as your guard battalion, I will be soft-hearted when people give me a little meaning, such a big Taihu County, I don't have much input, and I can't collect any extra money." Okay this time, you are here, Taihu County will hand it over to you, get more money to come back, and I can take the old man into the city to eat two more meals of meat. ”

"You are all good people, and we are suitable to play the evil people!" Shi Zhong said coldly.

"Okay, okay, you don't know this person Camp Commander Gao, he is righteous and full of blood, and it is really difficult for him to let him collect money." Chen Zhengxin on the side said: "This matter is thin monkey, and the market shops in Taihu Lake have to be handed over to you to take care of." I estimate that in the future, when you are behind enemy lines, there will be fewer and fewer supplies from above, and more of them will need to be self-raised, and if you don't know how to find money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even survive. I suggest that each battalion should set aside one to engage in the economy, get money, get food, and manage supplies, after all, survival comes first. ”

Mo Di nodded, fighting guerrillas, I am afraid that the noble choice is the worst among these people! However, officers like Gao Guixuan are the most numerous in the Gui army, and it is natural for soldiers to eat food, when has there ever been a saying about self-funding. I was trained in Hengshan, and in the final analysis, the most important thing is how to survive behind enemy lines, only by surviving can I kill the enemy, if I starve to death, talk about annihilating the enemy. It is just how to annihilate the enemy, how much to annihilate, how much to destroy, and how to get the enemy's all-out retaliation if he destroys too much, and how to find a fit between killing the enemy and feeding himself is the question that every guerrilla officer really needs to consider.

"Have a good meal today, tomorrow Shi Zhong will put the reconnaissance work on the Wangjiang side, in the end, what tricks the Japanese puppet army has made in Wangjiang must be in our grasp." Mo Di casually ordered: "The guard Lian Qin Guosheng wants to strengthen the collection and sorting of intelligence, I want to know the situation of Hao Wenbo, and I also want to know the situation of Wu Wannian, whether these two troops can become our help or will become our constraint." ”

The wine was still drinking, the lively atmosphere was escalating, Mo Di left the drinking ground early, he knew that on such an occasion, there would only be two results, one was to get himself drunk, and the other was to leave by himself, so that the brothers could have a good time. Drunkenness is terrible, the hangover of the day before yesterday still has a shadow today, and the best way is to choose to leave.

As soon as he left, Li Songde immediately followed. Out of the barracks, there is silence outside, the eighth day of the lunar calendar, the first quarter moon hangs high in the western sky, the light moonlight sprinkles the clear shadow on the earth, there are no clouds in the sky, the stars are dense, some stars are sparsely embellished in the sky is very conspicuous, the Milky Way is far embedded in the middle of the sky, a faint white. Under the shadow of the moon, the shadows of the two were stretched very long, and the leather shoes walked on the bluestone pavement, making a gurgling sound.

"The 1051st Regiment can still organize men and horses to cooperate with the Ninth Guerrilla Force to fight together, is it replenished and in place?" Mo Di asked. He knew that when he left Qianshan in November last year, the situation of the 526 Brigade was quite bad, the three infantry battalions of the 1056 Regiment still had about 1,000 people, and the guard battalion directly under the brigade had as many as 500 people, while Wei Gaozhen's 1051 Regiment had less than 800 people.

"Nope." Li Songde shook his head: "The number of people has not increased, but the guns have been replenished, and the brigade commander listened to Huang Tianhua's advice and asked Peng Wu's second battalion to replenish the guns and ammunition of the national armament to the other two battalions, and all of them were switched to Japanese weapons." Oh, their Japanese weapons were still sent by Huang Tianhua from Qianshan, and compared with the other two battalions, the second battalion each had a base number of Japanese-style ammunition, which was considered the most powerful combat unit of the 1051st Regiment. ”

Mo Di nodded, I see. It is estimated that the entire 48th Army is similar, if there are guns and bullets, I am afraid that it will be transferred to the front line of Suizao long ago. The yellow eel of Jiagang turned into a straw rope, and in the first battle of Huangmei, the 48th Army has been reduced to a weak brigade!

"Chief of Staff, what's your next step?" Mo Di asked very directly.

Li Songde was asked too suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he hesitated for a moment before replying: "What can I do?" When you come back, I can go to Yuexi, the brigade commander is in Yuexi, and the brigade headquarters should also be moved to Yuexi, as the chief of staff of the 526 Brigade, it should be in Yuexi. ”

"Brigade headquarters! Hehe" Mo Di smiled and said, "According to what you said, should I, the deputy brigade commander, also be in Yuexi." ”

Li Songde laughed twice, not knowing how to answer.

Mo Di did not continue this topic, and said: "Tomorrow you will go to Yuexi to help me solve a problem, Huang Tianhua is gone, and Jiang Chunyang is the deputy head of the regiment, should I be assigned a chief of staff, I can't let a deputy brigade commander and regiment commander also be the regiment chief of staff." ”

Li Songde still kept shaking his head and said, "Who do you say will be your chief of staff?" ”

"Whatever." Mo Di replied: "If it is not my expectation, the last person who can be replenished by the 1056 regiment is this chief of staff, after that, Shangfeng will not give us any more supplements, and let us fend for ourselves!" There is one one, and one more is better than one less. ”

"I can only ask." Li Songde said: "You have also seen that as a descendant of the brigade commander, Wei Gaozhen's regimental replenishment is still so difficult, not to mention the 1056 regiment, you understand." ”

"I understand." Mo Di said: "Actually, I don't want to stretch my hands to my superiors, after all, it is not my style to ask for people and things, as long as I am willing, whether it is Hao Wenbo of Shipai or Wu Wannian of Wangjiang, they can become my supplement, the problem is that I can't make the 1056 regiment too big, a guard battalion is already very out of line, and then a super large regiment, what will others think of me." ”

Li Songde stopped and looked at Mo Di blankly, he knew that Mo Di was not bragging, he could do it completely, he was in the southern section of Jinpu Road before, and as a result, he separated a Xu Ping and went out, and also had a super large regiment, making the 1056th Regiment an absolute outlier in the 176th Division. In the next battle behind enemy lines, the biggest problem for Mo Enemy should not be how to deal with the enemy, but how to control his own development, otherwise, excessive expansion will really make it difficult for Shangfeng.
