Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Regarding Li Zhigao's suggestion, the military commander shook his head and said: "The political commissar always looks at problems comprehensively and from a long-term perspective. He insists that we only use five-watt radios, which must be due to his necessity. We still follow the political commissar's request.  , wait until they reach Southern Jiangsu before turning on the high-power radio. Since they are calling on the radio, it means that the political commissar and the others should not have any problems at least for now. "

    Having said this, the army commander sighed slightly and said: "I don't know what the situation is like on the political commissar's side? The entire Third War Zone's troops in southern Anhui were attracted by them, and there were not many troops around them. I was really worried.  They were worried. Fortunately, we insisted on keeping Li Huilan, hoping that she would use her proficiency in radio communications to help the political commissars and others escape."

    "I still know Li Huilan's abilities. With her here, the entire military deployment in the third theater will not have any big secrets to protect. At least the political commissar and the others will not be ambushed. The political commissar insisted on not retaining female operators because he was worried about being surrounded.  It¡¯s inconvenient for lesbians. We insisted on keeping Li Huilan behind his back. It seems that we made the right move.¡±

    Li Zhigao seemed a little helpless towards the commander's persistence.  He opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.  The military commander had been suppressed for too long and almost lost his sense of autonomy.  Although the political commissar has always respected the military commander since arriving in Wannan, he also dared to delegate power to the military commander.

    The commander of the army now has the authority and authority to take charge of the combat operations of the entire army.  After the troops were divided, the political commissar repeatedly emphasized that the military commander was solely responsible for all actions of the military headquarters and the main force, and no one was allowed to interfere.  The military commander was given full trust and rights, but it was a pity that the military commander himself had a personal problem.  It's just that this kind of thing is something that he, as a subordinate, cannot say.

    As the chief of the operations section, Li Zhigao chose to remain silent on this matter, but he could not choose to remain silent regarding other matters within his scope of responsibility.  There are some things that need to be said: "Commander, according to the time calculation, the first echelon is estimated to be close to the destination now. Is it time to contact the troops in southern Jiangsu? Let them send capable personnel to take over.  us."

    "There is also the Army Commander. Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou is following the first echelon. With Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou following the command, there shouldn't be any big problems. It's time for you to take a rest too. You haven't slept a wink for two days. This is a critical moment.  "Come on, don't be exhausted. You can take a rest, we'll take care of you."

    Regarding Li Zhigao's suggestion to take a rest, the army commander shook his head and said: "Compared to the political commissar who put himself in danger, there is nothing wrong with me taking a short rest. When the troops are safe, won't there be plenty of time to rest? No.  It¡¯s just a while. Go tell the second echelon and ask them to hurry up and prepare. They must complete the boarding within half an hour after the first echelon¡¯s ship returns.¡±

    "The political commissar used his own safety to buy us time, and not a single second can be wasted. After the fleet returns, according to the original plan, all ministries must board the ship in order. Order the New Third Regiment, which covers the entire army, to do a good job  In preparation for the battle, before the entire army has boarded the ship, if there is an enemy attack, whether it is the Japanese army or the third theater, no matter how many troops there are and what kind of equipment they have, they must complete the cover of the entire army.  mission.¡±

    Hearing the commander's words, Li Zhigao frowned and said: "Commander, haven't the main forces of the Second Guerrilla Zone been attracted by the political commissar to the junction of Jingde, Ningguo and Jingxian County? In addition to the Second Guerrilla Zone  Besides, there are no large groups of enemy troops around us. Are you worried that the Japanese troops in Wuhu will take advantage of the second guerrilla zone to move south? "

    "Probably not. The Japanese 15th Division on the line from Wuhu to Nanjing is very dispersed, and concentration of troops cannot be completed in a short time. Although the main force of the second guerrilla zone has now gone south. But if the Japanese army is dispatched,  Their return speed will not be too slow, and the Second Guerrilla Zone still has two divisions in Jingxian."

    "The Japanese troops have come in too few and will not work. If there have been more troops, Nanjing and Wuhu will be empty. In addition, it will take time to mobilize and gather troops. Southern Anhui is too close to southern Jiangsu, and the little devils will not be so stupid.  , redeploying too many troops from the periphery of Nanjing."

    "Although this place is close to enemy-occupied areas, it is under the jurisdiction of the Third War Zone after all. If the Japanese army sends troops, they will not hesitate at all. Our troops are weak and we are indeed no match for them now. But there are still more than 100,000 troops in the Third War Zone.  I don¡¯t believe it, the Third War Zone will just ignore them when they send troops?¡±

    Regarding Li Zhigao's words, the army commander shook his head and said: "Although the 15th Division and the Third War Zone are opponents, there is no difference between them in terms of destroying us. If the Japanese troops from Wuhu and Nanjing are dispatched,  The Third War Zone will definitely not participate in the war, and may even make way for it, so we must be a hundred times more careful to deal with all possibilities."

    Regarding the commander¡¯s speculation, LiZhigao didn't answer.  He knew that the commander's worries were definitely not unreasonable.  Although the two militaries will not openly join forces, there is still the possibility of forming a certain tacit strategic understanding.  If it doesn't work well, the Japanese troops on the front line in Wuhu may even be dispatched.

    Thinking of this, Li Zhigao shook his head and said: "Commander, I think as long as we act quickly, there is still hope that we can all cross Nanyi Lake before the Japanese army is dispatched. As long as we cross Nanyi Lake and join up with the southern Jiangsu army  , I think even if the Japanese army deploys in large numbers, there will be nothing they can do for us.¡±

    "Commander, I will go to the New Third Regiment to take charge, and you will command the second echelon of troops to board the ship here. As long as we act quickly, even if the Japanese troops in Wuhu and Ma'anshan are dispatched, there will be nothing we can do. What I am most worried about now is not the ground  There are many river branches around Nanyi Lake, which can become natural positions for us to use. Even if the enemy on the ground attacks, we can delay it for a while. "

    "We don't have any anti-aircraft weapons. Once the Japanese army dispatches a large number of aircraft to carry out air attacks on us. When the troops are crossing the lake, they are on the unobstructed lake. Once the Japanese army dispatches aircraft to carry out bombing and strafing, we are afraid that we will suffer casualties.  It won¡¯t be any smaller.¡±

    Regarding Li Zhigao's worries, the army commander nodded deeply and said: "It is precisely because of this concern that I ordered the troops to speed up their operations. Although Nanyi Lake is not big, the lake is not small either.  . We don¡¯t have a motorized ship on hand, so it¡¯s very dangerous if we encounter an enemy plane.¡±

    "But as you said, we don't have any anti-aircraft weapons and can only be bombed passively. But no matter what, the losses are still a small number. As long as most of the troops can break through, we can only accept some losses.  Fortunately, the number of Japanese aircraft deployed in Nanjing is not large, and most of them are concentrated in Wuhan and Anqing. They are busy carrying out air strikes in the rear area and will not use too much force to deal with us. "

    At this point, the commander looked at the surrounding situation, gritted his teeth and said to Li Zhigao: "If the first echelon goes well, it should be almost ashore now, and there won't be any big problems. Let the second echelon find it."  Several boats piled with reeds are arranged crosswise among the fleet. Once the Japanese aircraft arrive, these boats piled with reeds will be set on fire and the boat owners will be given more compensation. "

    "Although we can't do anything about the Japanese aircraft, we can still reduce the losses a little. It's better to reduce the losses a little. I heard that the political commissar and his Northeast Military Region have established an air force. Last year, they actually fought a battle with the Japanese aviation force. We have achieved success.  achieved considerable results.¡±

    "It will be great when our New Fourth Army can have its own air force like them. In future battles, we will no longer be helpless against the Japanese planes. Watching our comrades under the bombing of enemy planes  , it was a waste of money, but we were helpless.¡±

    "Even if there is no aviation force, even if we can have some anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, it will be fine. It's a pity that we don't even have an anti-aircraft machine gun, and we don't even have enough heavy machine guns that can shoot anti-aircraft fire. There is no other way except being passively bombed. Only  Hopefully we can go smoothly today.¡±

    Looking at the sky in the distance, Li Zhigao was about to speak when his topic was interrupted by the Chief of Staff of the New Third Regiment who hurriedly led someone there.  Seeing the commander and Li Zhigao, the chief of staff of the New Third Regiment said quickly: "Commander, we have just received reconnaissance personnel sent by the southern Jiangsu army to look for us."

    The man brought by the chief of staff of the New Third Regiment was obviously known to the commander.  Seeing the visitor, the thick cloud that had been shrouding the commander's face since he broke up with Yang Zhen dispersed a little, and he even said excitedly: "Why is it you, Xiao Zhang? Didn't you stay at the Jiangnan headquarters as a reconnaissance officer after the main force from Jiangnan went north?"  Staff officer? How did you find yourself here?"

    "You appear here, where are your troops now? What is the situation in southern Jiangsu now? What are the movements of the Japanese troops in Wuhu, Ma'anshan and southern Jiangsu? Have they been dispatched, and how many troops have been dispatched? How is your contact with Jiangbei?  ? Can Jiangbei raise enough ferries in a short time?¡±

    After hearing the commander's series of questions, Zhang Tao, the reconnaissance company commander of the Jiangnan Command who was sent out by the southern Jiangsu army to conduct reconnaissance, said quickly: "Commander, our southern Jiangsu army received an order from the political commissar to take over the main force. In addition to leaving some troops behind,  All the Japanese troops in southern Jiangsu and the remaining base areas have been dispatched now.¡±

    "The main force has now arrived at the northwest shore of Nanyi Lake. It has encountered the Japanese troops dispatched on the Wuhu front line and is currently engaged in a fierce battle. Our commander and political commissar have been unable to contact the military headquarters on the radio, so they sent me  Come find the main force.¡±

    "Commander, you are very worried that the political commissar cannot contact you. We have received orders to find the main force at all costs and cover your withdrawal to southern Jiangsu. We are on the phoneI kept calling the military headquarters, but there was no response from the military radio station.  Commander, the political commissar is very worried about the delay in being able to contact you.  "

    Regarding this person's words, the military commander could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "The Communications Section does not understand the political commissar's method of using low-power radios to transmit signals over long distances. The political commissar has repeatedly asked us not to use high-power radios, so we can only  I heard the other party¡¯s call on the radio and couldn¡¯t answer.¡±
