Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (30)

In the eyes of the New Fourth Army, the Gui Army is no different from the Central Army, they are both former enemies of life and death, and now they want to kill the enemy side by side with them, which is really a bit incomprehensible. However, for Chen Zhengxin's troops, they are more acceptable, they had a friendship in Qipanling last time, if it wasn't for Chen Zhengxin's action, this time it would not be more than 200 people to go back to replenish, but more. Not all people have a good impression of Chen Zhengxin's troops, and there are exceptions to everything, for example, Hu Jiting, director of the Political Department, is one of them, he did not participate in the last Qipanling battle, and he was a cadre who was directly appointed from the detachment headquarters this time. As a young cadre with veteran qualifications and a full-time political cadre, he has views on Yang Kezhi's approach.

Seeing Yang Kezhi returning to the headquarters of the Seventh Regiment with a drunken body, Hu Jiting frowned unconsciously, this regiment commander of the same age as himself had only been with Gui Jun for a few days, and he didn't learn anything else, he learned to eat and drink first. The most unacceptable thing is to eat and drink secretly, and still drink like this, step by step, and don't want to think about what kind of impact and consequences will be caused among the cadres and soldiers. Political Commissar Cao is not here, and it is my responsibility to talk about him well.

After making up his mind, Hu Jiting pulled off his shirt, walked in front of Yang Kezhi, and said solemnly: "Commander, I have a question I want to talk to you about." ”

Yang Kezhi raised his head, glanced at Hu Jiting with drunken eyes, and said with a smile: "I was also about to tell you, but it happened that you were in front of me and told you that this time, we will definitely be able to fight another beautiful battle and strive to get back an artillery unit for the detachment." ”

"I'll talk about this later, the Japanese can fight slowly, the artillery battalion can be built slowly, and there is a more serious problem that must be solved immediately." Hu Jiting was also very excited when he heard that he could build an artillery battalion, but he knew that the guy in front of him was active and eloquent, and he would soon be led by him if he didn't grasp his own issues, so he grabbed the conversation.

"Director Hu, you're wrong! At this stage, our greatest task is to fight the Japanese and eliminate them. In order to achieve this goal, we have reconciled with our opponents who have been fighting for ten years, and there is nothing we can let go. How to destroy the Japanese, first you have to have guns, then you have to have artillery, there are no guns, there are no cannons, and you rely on people to fill up, that is stupid. Although Yang Kezhi was very drunk, he didn't speak chaotically.

"I know this, regiment commander, we will definitely eliminate the Japanese, but this is a protracted process, Comrade *'s "On Protracted War" I have read it carefully, and I have also written about my experience." Hu Jiting explained: "None of us know how long this time will be, so it is more important to maintain the ideological nature of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army during this lasting time......

Without waiting for Hu Jiting to finish speaking, Lin Yingjian, the chief of staff on the side, took over the conversation and said, "Director Hu, do you want us to sit down, and then listen to you slowly, you look at the regiment commander, he is already crumbling." ”

Hu Jiting fixed his eyes and saw that Yang Kezhi in front of him was completely unstable, the whites of his eyes were rolling, and he knew that it was completely in vain to tell him at this time, and the ghost only knew what he said after he woke up.

Perhaps sensing that Hu Jiting was looking at him, Yang Kezhi danced his hand and said, "This problem is very serious, wait until my alcohol strength has passed." He staggered to the side of the marching bed and sat down, and as soon as he fell, he heard a heavy snoring.

"Why do you drink like this?" Hu Jiting glanced at Yang Kezhi with a heartache and annoyance, and turned his head to look at Lin Yingjian, who was already sitting in a chair.

"Huh!" Lin Yingjian said with a smile: "The Gui army is really not like a soldier, they are full of nonsense in the combat headquarters, as soon as they raise their wine glasses, the battle plan will come out, the more wine they drink, the more exciting and perfect the plan will be, and when the battle plan is determined, our regiment commander will be like this!" ”

Hu Jiting couldn't cry or laugh, this is not the army at all, it is the bandits of Liangshanbo, and the bandits of Wagangzhai. A little curious, he asked: "What kind of combat plan can we come up with in the end to make our regiment commander drink like this!" ”

Lin Yingjian shook his head and said: "Gui Jun's group are all masters, and this plan is the same as when we beat Liu Zhenhua on Dabie Mountain." ”

"How can it be the same, our opponent on Dabie Mountain is Liu Zhenhua, the pig, the current opponent is the Japanese, the Japanese! You know, not at all a grade of enemies. Hu Jiting said loudly.

"In their opinion, the Japanese are not as good as Liu Zhenhua." Lin Yingjian said: "Liu Zhenhua at least has the right time and place, the Japanese don't have any bullshit, just rely on the guns in their hands." These guns are not very majestic in front of us, and they are similar to burning sticks, 38 rifles? People have,*? Only the logistics troops are equipped, crooked? People are all on crutches. ”

"Underestimate the enemy! Too light the enemy, the Gui army is too light on the enemy, and the arrogant army will be defeated. Lao Lin, you are the chief of staff, you should put forward your own point of view. Hu Jiting was in a hurry.

"I proposed, I think, our second battalion has been fully mechanized, and each soldier has a hundred rounds of ammunition in his hand, so he can do it freely." Lin Yingjian said proudly: "Deputy Huang Tuan of the 1056th Regiment said well, don't want the bullets in the hands of the small weapon, if you win the battle, there will be enough replenishment, these Japanese are just sending us supplies, and if you don't have what you have, you will be punished." ”

Hu Jiting opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't say a word, and your opinion was even more contemptuous.

In fact, Huang Tianhua did not have the light enemy that Hu Jiting imagined at all, on the contrary, he attached great importance to the dynamics of the Japanese army. The news brought back by Shi Zhong was very detailed, and it was also very clear that the armed escort of the Japanese army could not help but make him pay attention to it.

Mules, horses and carts are all collected in Anqing, there are a lot of them, and the cattle and carts are driven by local people, and ambush operations will inevitably hurt them, but after all, they are their own compatriots, how to try to avoid reducing the casualties of the people, is the first problem that Huang Tianhua wants to solve.

It is not easy to solve the second problem, the Japanese escort team has a lot of people, there is even a brigade, it is obvious that this escort brigade is not only an escort, but also sent itself to Qianshan Taihu Lake as a supplementary soldier. A Japanese infantry brigade had a maximum of 1,500 men, and at least 800 men, and judging from Shi Shizhong's report, it was a small supplementary brigade of about 800 men. In addition, there were soldiers of the Japanese baggage troops, no less than two hundred.

There is a third question, if the ambush is successful and the things are robbed, will the common people who are driving the cattle be implicated.

Chen Zhengxin also sat on the side and smoked a cigarette, and the five company commanders under his command did not say a word, except for Luo Wei, Shi Chong, and Slender Monkey, the heavy fire platoon was upgraded to a company, and Huang Tianhua brought the unformed artillery company of the 526 Brigade and merged it into Chen Zhengxin's guard battalion.

After a long silence, the commander of the artillery company, Nguyen Dong Thanh, put forward his opinion and used artillery to break up the Japanese army before cleaning them up.

Wei Qicai, commander of the heavy firepower company, emphasized hard fighting.

The skinny monkey said that it can be harassed along the way and weakened a little bit.

Their opinions were all denied by Huang Tianhua's analysis one by one, Chen Zhengxin was anxious: "This is not good, that is not good, it means that the day is coming soon, they must rush to Yujing tomorrow, the cattle are walking slowly, the Japanese will come out of Gaohebu early in the morning, at most in the morning will go to Qipanling, we don't have much time." ”

"Early in the morning to Qipanling?" Huang Tianhua looked at Chen Zhengxin with some emotion, and said, "Our attack can't wait until that time, we have to start before that. ”

Soon, a complete battle plan appeared in front of everyone.

It's just that Yang Kezhi didn't know about this, they just received the task of entering the valley two kilometers behind the location of the previous ambush of the Aoki Wing at Qipanling before ten o'clock in the afternoon, and waited for the Japanese convoy to enter and ambush.

It was not yet dawn, it was raining, and Chen Zhengxin's department, which was gloomy and wrapped in a Japanese army-style raincoat, had disappeared into the rain and fog. Huang Tianhua, who saw them off, came back from the entrance of the village and saw Yang Kezhi standing at the door of the headquarters, and hurriedly said hello: "Head Yang is early, have you eaten?" ”

Yang Kezhi smiled: "I still have the same wine from yesterday until now." How? Camp Commander Chen: They set off early in the morning? ”

"yes, they're going to do a little bit of preliminary work." Huang Tianhua said: "If you don't eat, you can eat with me, and I didn't eat either, I'm quite nervous." ”

"You're going to be nervous too! Yesterday I heard you say it so easily, as if these thousands of devils were all washed clean and waiting for you to kill. Yang Kezhi smiled.

Huang Tianhua shook his head: "Nervousness is certain, my Taoism is not enough, and I will be nervous as soon as I fight." It's still good for our regiment commander, the more he fights, the calmer he is, and he won't be nervous. I can't do it, I couldn't even eat breakfast before, and I didn't settle down until I sent them away. ”

A pot of porridge, two pieces of cake, and Yang Kezhi and the two of them ate very fragrantly, while eating, while introducing the details of the battle to Yang Kezhi one by one, Yang Kezhi only found out after listening to it that the original Gui army was fighting, and Liu Zhenhua Wei Lihuang was very different, they paid special attention to the changes in the battlefield, all kinds of plans were quite complete, all kinds of possibilities were considered, no matter what kind of situation appeared on the battlefield, they would strive to know in their hearts. In this kind of war, it is difficult to lose, and even if you are not good, you can get out of it all. On the other hand, looking at his own battles over the years, every time he has either lost his simplicity or is too self-righteous, and the most important thing is that his opponent is Liu Zhenhua and others, and their war theory is basically still in the era of cold weapons, not much stronger than Seng Lingqin back then. Fighting with Liu Zhenhua, I feel that the other party is like a bear with infinite strength but surprisingly stupid, and he is a clever hunter. After changing to the Japanese, the situation is very different, the Japanese are not bears, poisonous snakes, tigers or wolves, they are more cunning and fierce than themselves, and they have more combat skills, and it is too difficult to deal with them. On the other hand, the Gui army in front of them, they have gone to the next level, and they have to be more cunning than the Japanese to win in this battle of wits and courage. Yang Kezhi knew that he had to learn from Gui Jun and strive for greater victories.
