Large conference room at Phoenix Mountain Base. The generals of the New Second Army¡¯s military headquarters gathered together to listen to the briefing by Ye Zhuhan, the chief of the intelligence section. Ye Zhuhan reported to the leadership the meeting between Du Ziqi, the liaison officer of the New Fourth Army, Zhang Fenglan, and the special commissioner of the Yangtze River Bureau of the Communist Party of China. He also said: "The special task force established by the Secret Service in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas developed rapidly while the Japanese army was deploying troops everywhere. It has grown to a total strength of more than 15,000 people. Around the Spring Festival, under the planning and command of Dai Li, the Rangers launched successive attacks against the Japanese and puppet troops, wreaking havoc on railway and road transportation, blowing up arms and supplies, and greatly deterred the traitors. The arrogance of the traitors has achieved obvious results. " "However, the expansion of the Einsatzgruppe is not a good thing for us After Chairman Chiang was assassinated on the border of western Zhejiang, the Nationalist Government began to suppress us from all aspects, and the special agents We are the vanguard everywhere. In Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places, the Secret Service has launched an all-round suppression of our intelligence department. One of our secret strongholds near Nanhu in Jiaxing was recently cracked by the Japanese army and four intelligence officers were arrested. We suspect that the military commander is behind it. "My hands and feet." When Ye Zhuhan said this, his face became extremely ugly. "Is there any evidence?" Wu Ming regretted it as soon as he asked. The intelligence front is full of swords and swords, but everything is underground. Many intelligence agents have single-line connections with each other. The depth of the secrets is unimaginable to ordinary people. How can anyone catch the clue? Dai Li is an intelligence genius. Not in the land of western Zhejiang, the intelligence department of the New Second Army and the Secret Service led by Dai Li would be tantamount to playing tricks on each other. " However, without grasping the handle, Wu Ming could not threaten Dai Li, the poisonous snake hiding in the dark, which was really a headache. Ye Zhuhan looked determined and said: "Military seat, we will work hard." Wu Ming knew about this. No wonder Ye Zhuhan and his colleagues in the intelligence department waved their hands: "Okay, let's continue talking about the New Fourth Army." Ye Zhuhan was holding back something in his chest. After taking a breath, I decided to make a good plan after going back to save face from the Secret Service. However, I still reported unhurriedly: "From the information fed back by Director Du, the New Fourth Army is extremely short of weapons and equipment, lacks medicine, and the conditions It is extremely difficult, but after all, the New Fourth Army is a journey of hundreds of battles. The officers and soldiers are strong-willed, brave in combat, and are especially good at guerrilla warfare. As long as they have enough weapons and equipment, once the New Fourth Army goes deep into the enemy's rear, it will be unstoppable. Ye Zhuhan paused, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. : "By the way, the Chinese Communist Party has informed us of some information. The Secret Service's actions against us should be Dai Li's handiwork. Dai Li" "Okay, I understand." Wu Ming interrupted Ye Zhuhan. An accident occurred during Chiang Kai-shek's inspection of Maoliangwu. Dai Li followed Chiang Kai-shek's will and deliberately suppressed the New Second Army, which is what the title meant. Think of it. Here, Wu Ming looked around: "I called everyone here to discuss the upcoming cooperation between our New Second Army and the New Fourth Army. How can we train our troops and fight against the Japanese and puppet troops without harming our interests? Everyone, let¡¯s hear it. ¡°I am not opposed to cooperating with the New Fourth Army to fight the Japanese, but¡ª¡ª¡± Long Shaogang frowned: ¡°After more than half a year of continuous fighting, all the officers and soldiers are already exhausted. At the same time, the new recruits are assigned to various areas. Company, a lot of training has just begun. At present, the vast majority of the army are new recruits. If these recruits are sent to the battlefield without strict training, it would be murder." "Yes, Lao Long is right." Zhang Dongning agreed: "Since After the weapons and equipment to support Xuzhou were delivered to the train, the entire army's reserves were basically exhausted. If we send a large force to fight at this time, the logistics support may not be able to keep up. But if we only send a small force, we may not be able to achieve the expected results Furthermore, how do grain and ammunition pass through the Japanese blockade? The problems Lao Long and Zhang Dongning talked about were real. When they heard this, all the generals in the hall frowned and thought carefully. Many people looked at Wu Ming. Wu Ming turned to look at the eager man. Chief of Staff: ¡°Zi Ran, what do you think? " "I think what Deputy Commander Long and Chief of Staff Zhang said are reasonable At this stage, whether it is the officers and soldiers or the logistics supplies, we do not have the ability to launch large-scale operations with the Japanese army for the time being. " Dai Ziran stood up and analyzed in detail: "I think we can think about it from another angle Since the New Fourth Army is good at guerrilla warfare, we can cooperate with it and send small groups of troops to go deep behind enemy lines in the form of companies and platoons to jointly attack The New Fourth Army launched a raid and harassment campaign. " "A small group of troops went deep behind enemy lines? "Zhang Ying frowned and tried to think about Dai Ziran's opinion. "The reason why the New Second Army repeatedly defeated the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield was that in addition to the soldiers' courage to fight hard with their lives, sophisticated weapons and equipment, and complete logistics supplies were also crucial. But If they go deep behind enemy lines and away from rear material supplies, they may encounter Japanese troops at any time and anywhere, which is not easy for the New Second Army. Dai Ziran continued: "In the early stage, we?You can organize skilled troops, in the form of special detachments, to go deep behind enemy lines, work with the New Fourth Army to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, destroy railway and road transportation, seize ammunition and food supplies, and gradually establish a solid base around mountains and lakes. After the base area is established, we can rotate the troops. When the base area develops and grows in the later stage, we can completely connect the various base areas into one, and the various special teams gather into large units at the brigade and regiment level to carry out operations, cooperate with the frontal battlefield, and effectively attack the enemy. " "Wonderful" Zhang Dongning clapped his hands and said to Wu Ming appreciatively: "Zi Ran has a good idea A small group of troops is short and skilled, with a high degree of flexibility and maneuverability, and uses special operations to attack the Japanese in the occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The puppet army can not only protect itself, but also achieve the purpose of attacking and weakening the enemy. It does not have high requirements for logistical supplies.¡± ¡°The best thing among them is the rotation There are many benefits to this, and it can not only allow all departments to The officers and soldiers are fully rested and can continue to fight, and the various units are tempered in a difficult environment. This is very beneficial to the growth of the army, and it can also quietly expand the establishment and contain a surprising force behind the enemy lines." Long Shaogang Lianlian Nodding: "Zi Ran's idea is indeed a good one." Dai Ziran glanced at Wu Ming gratefully. "This system of sending small groups of troops deep behind enemy lines and rotating them was originally discussed by Wu Ming with Dai Ziran. Now Zhang Dongning and Long Shaogang was all credited to him, and Dai Ziran couldn't help but feel a little scared and ashamed. The matter was settled in this way. In less than half a day, the news of dispatching a small group of troops to cooperate with the New Fourth Army quickly spread to the ears of officers at all levels in the army. The commander of the new second division, Luo Yuming, and the commander of the new third division, Yang Sixian, were not in the mood to eat. They were waiting in Wu Ming's office early, looking restless. After lunch, Wu Ming basked in the sun for a while before returning to the headquarters. In the corridor, he heard a fierce exchange between the two division commanders. Luo Yuming's words were a bit unpleasant: "Lao Yang, our new second division is under the original old designation. I think you were also a member of the new second division. You don¡¯t want the honor of the army to fall by the wayside, right? This time a small group of troops is sent to attack, so our New Second Division will be contracted. Who makes us the best division in the world?" Yang Sixian couldn't help hearing this. This is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. He has long been He wanted to lead the New Third Division to compete for the position of the first main force. Seeing Luo Yuming's boastful words, Yang Sixian snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Lao Luo, you are so thick-skinned that you probably can't even shoot a bullet from a large-caliber sniper rifle. Wear The new second division is the old foundation laid by the army, and the contributions of our new third division officers and soldiers are also among them. Now you take all the credit for yourself, are you ashamed? "Luo Yuming stared at Yang Sixian, his mouth bulged like a big bellows, and roared: "YouOld Yang, your mouth is really damaging, aren't your grandsons not convinced? " "You are really right. I am not convinced. Our New Third Division is not convinced that you, me, are the best in the world. My tail is almost up to the sky. " Yang Sixian scratched his neck and retorted. "Don't talk nonsense. The combat effectiveness of our new second division is as strong as your new third division. Whether it is combat merit or training results, your new third division is not enough." Luo Yuming was very proud. "Hey¡ª¡ª " Wu Ming stood at the door and coughed lightly, and the room that was still arguing fiercely suddenly became quiet. Wu Ming opened the door and saw Luo Yuming and Yang Sixian hugging each other affectionately. They looked up at the map on the wall. Pointing and seeming to be discussing the war fiercely, Wu Ming ignored the two soldiers and sat back on his chair. He reached out and found that there was no water in the tea cup. He grabbed the tea cup, carefully replaced it with new tea, brewed it with boiling water, and respectfully handed it to Wu Ming. Wu Ming pushed the water cup and asked pretending to be surprised: "Hey, you two." Why is this one here? Did something happen to the army? "No, nothing happened at all." The two shook their heads. Luo Yuming grinned and asked with a pair of big white teeth: "Military seat, have we heard that you want to send small and skilled troops into the Japanese-occupied areas to cooperate with the New Fourth Army?" Combat. Don't worry, I dare not say anything else. Our New Second Division is an old unit led by you. It has excellent military quality and first-class fighting will. It will definitely complete the mission satisfactorily." Yang Si first patted his chest and expressed his position: "Military seat, our New Third Division The bones of the division were separated from the New Second Division. As long as you give us the task, we will definitely complete it with quality and quantity." "Go, go, go, you have fought too many smooth battles, and you are too proud to underestimate the enemy, right? Do you think this attack will be easy? " Wu Ming's face suddenly fell, and he stood up and reprimanded loudly: "When fighting deep behind enemy lines, you cannot carry heavy weapons. You may encounter Japanese and puppet troops at any time, and you may also be betrayed by your fellow villagers The troops who go out to fight must not only have excellent military quality.Hard, there are strict requirements for the commander's ability to adapt to the situation in battle. Do you think that if you win the qualifications, you will get military merit? It's so ridiculous. "Okay, you two guys, go back quickly and train your troops first. Don't wait for the order to be issued and you will have diarrhea" Luo Yuming turned around and left. Yang Si was stunned for a moment and asked: "Military seat , you meanour teacher also has a role? "I didn't say it." Wu Ming smiled and scolded: "But if the task falls on you and your new third division does not perform well, let's see what you have to say." "I promise not to embarrass you." Yang Si grinned first and then ran away. .
