Phoenix Mountain Base, New Second Army Headquarters. After receiving the call back from Nanjing, Wu Ming shook his head, smiled, and threw the telegram on the table. "Military seat, how did the Chairman respond to our suggestion to strengthen Guangdong's defense?" Dai Ziran asked with concern. "Hey, all I have to say in the telegram is that my dog ??has a rat. You can see for yourself." Wu Ming raised his head with a look of helplessness on his face: "The two main divisions of the Guangdong Army dispatched by Chairman Chiang have already arrived in Hunan. It won't be long before they arrive." Arriving at the Wuhan front line. Our previous warnings were in vain. ""Thishow could they do this? What a bunch of idiots." Dai Ziran laughed angrily as he put down the telegram. "Since North China and the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all lost, Guangzhou is actually It has become the most important portal for the import of materials across the country and the most important transportation line for China to receive foreign aid. Such an important place was ignored by the big guys in the Military Commission, which really made Dai Ziran dumbfounded. "Forget it, forget it, it's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, let it go." Wu Ming waved his hand. "In this reply, in order to relieve the huge pressure on Wuhan, Chairman Chiang ordered us to attack key cities in the Japanese-occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and specifically mentioned the need to build momentum." Dai Ziran pointed to the telegram and asked: " "What should we do?" "Let's fight according to the established policy It is already October. The one million troops in the Ninth Theater and the Fifth Theater and the Japanese Central China Front have been fighting around Wuhan for more than four months. Both sides have We are exhausted. It is our turn for the New Second Army to take action." Wu Ming looked at his watch and asked, "Are all the officers who are leading the attack behind enemy lines here?" "They are all here. They are on their way. In the large conference room, Deputy Commander Long explained the tactical essentials of guerrilla warfare, and Chief of Staff Zhang gave additional explanations on logistics and supplies." Dai Ziran followed Wu Ming to the conference room and introduced as he walked: "This group of company and platoon leaders Some squad leaders have been specially trained in guerrilla warfare in the past few months, and the military logistics department has also issued corresponding weapons and equipment. Each of those bastards is waiting for you to give them a lecture. After that, they will go behind the enemy lines and go straight to the kid's asshole. When Wu Ming walked to the door of the large conference room, the officer on duty shouted: "Here comes the military seat." This time, although the New Second Army sent out only thirty companies to carry out the attack, the officers sitting here plus There were five hundred non-commissioned officers. The large conference room was packed. When they heard the call, the officers and non-commissioned officers stood up in unison, tensing up and straightening their backs, paying attention to Wu Ming. " Everyone, please sit down." Wu Ming strode to the center of the rostrum and looked around at the many young faces in the audience. Long Shaogang nodded to Wu Ming: "Military seat, please say a few words to the brothers. They have been waiting for you for a long time. "Okay." Wu Ming took the microphone unceremoniously and said loudly to the five hundred officers and non-commissioned officers in the audience: "Brothers, this mission is very dangerous. There are no support from brother troops around you, and there are no sufficient guns and ammunition. There is no fire support from artillery and other heavy weapons, and there are no ordinary people who support you wholeheartedly. "What's more, from the moment you enter the enemy's rear, it will be difficult for you to have a hot meal, and you will be surrounded by Japanese troops at any time, and you may be attacked. Betrayed by a traitor. If any of you are afraid, you can bring it up now. I will never embarrass you. "Are you afraid?" The officers responded in a neat and loud voice. "Okay, you are worthy of being a soldier of our New Second Army." Wu Ming took a deep breath, looked around and asked: "Deputy Commander Long and Chief of Staff Zhang will tell you about the specific strategic and tactical arrangements and logistics supplies. "But, I won't be verbose here, I'm afraid you might find me annoying." The officers and non-commissioned officers all had smiles on their faces. "The people sitting here are basically outstanding company platoon commanders and sergeant squad leaders selected from each division. When we first decided to send you behind enemy lines to conduct guerrilla operations, Deputy Commander Long was very reluctant because you are the lifeblood of our New Second Army. , is the blood and skeleton of the New Second Army. It is because of you that our New Second Army can repeatedly defeat the Japanese invaders and create a great reputation." Wu Ming changed the topic: "But, I still insist on sending you out, because. Your task is to take root behind enemy lines and gradually develop and grow. Only if you develop behind enemy lines can the New Second Army left behind in Quzhou have a chance to breathe, and our fellow villagers in western Zhejiang can live a stable life. " "This time we will. A total of thirty companies have been sent out, and I hope you will soon develop into thirty battalions, and have more than thirty regiments of militia as your backup support force." Wu Ming coughed lightly, and then said: "Half a year ago, We sent a group of troops into the enemy's rear, and they opened up a vast guerrilla zone from scratch. They have ample room for development behind the enemy's rear. This time, you go to support them. I hope you can turn the guerrilla zone into something like them.They formed solid anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, which were like nails that made it difficult for the Japanese army to move forward." The officers and non-commissioned officers listened with enthusiasm and looked at Wu Ming intently, with eyes full of reverence. "After you arrive in the Japanese-occupied areas, the specific details will be announced. Your superiors and I don't care about the battle. In fact, it's beyond our reach and we can't care about it. " Wu Ming smiled brightly and pointed to the radio station and radio placed on the rostrum: "This time, the military headquarters will equip each of your companies with one radio station and three radios. When we launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in the future, the military headquarters will use Phoenix Radio stations issued orders. " "Yes" All the officers and non-commissioned officers replied in unison. After the meeting, when the officers and non-commissioned officers who were about to go out for the expedition went back to prepare for the expedition, Wu Ming left the main military generals to hold a small meeting. Dai Ziran introduced Chiang Kai-shek to the attending generals and colonels. "Everyone, please look at the map." After the staff hung up the map, Wu Ming picked up his baton and pointed at the map: "The Battle of Wuhan has reached its most critical moment. Although the Nationalist Government has an absolute advantage in military strength, it has also achieved tens of thousands of victories. Such a glorious victory as the Jialing Victory was expected to be defeated in a short time under the joint attack of Japanese aircraft and artillery. Taking into account all aspects of the situation, it is now time for our New Second Army to show off its power.¡± ¡°When our New Second Army retreated from the Pinghu front line in mid-to-late November last year, the Chief of Staff buried weapons that could not be evacuated in many places east of Hangzhou. Equipment, now these companies deep behind enemy lines can resupply a batch on the spot. " Wu Ming moved the baton in his hand on the map and continued: "However, the border area between Jiangsu and Anhui is temporarily a blind spot. Although our troops operating behind enemy lines plundered a batch of Japanese-made weapons and equipment during the Battle of Xuzhou, But it is far from meeting the needs of development base areas. " "Now, I plan to conduct a series of large-scale raids on the Beijing-Shanghai railway line to seize in one fell swoop the guns, ammunition, food, medicine and other materials supplied by the Japanese army to the Wuhan battlefield. " Long Shaogang and others nodded repeatedly. "Seizing Japanese military supplies can, on the one hand, equip the gradually expanding anti-Japanese forces behind enemy lines on the spot, and on the other hand, it can weaken the Japanese army's continuous combat capabilities, effectively support the Wuhan battlefield, and reduce the huge pressure faced by the Ninth Theater. Pressure can be said to kill two birds with one stone. "Military seat, this plan is good, but the Japanese Guards Divisions drawn from the mainland have been stationed in Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places. The Guards Division was established to protect the Emperor of Japan. It must be quite powerful. I don¡¯t know¡ª" Zhang Ying looked a little worried and hesitated. "Zhang Ying, you don¡¯t know that although the Guards Division is known as the Japanese army¡¯s combat power, First, they have been guarding the Japanese emperor's palaces and royal officials in Tokyo, Kyoto and other places all year round, but they have little actual combat experience. If you look closely, their combat power is probably not as good as the Second Division, Sixth Division, and Seventh Division we encountered previously. Waiting for frontline combat troops. " Wu Ming explained patiently: "To take a step back, even if the Guards Division is strong, they are too spread out. A force of less than 25,000 people has to defend five or six major cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. In the city, the mobile strength that the Guards Division can produce is only two regiments. "According to the intelligence we obtained from the Japanese-Puppet Reform Government of the Republic of China, of the two regiments, one is stationed in Chang'an Town in eastern Zhejiang to protect the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway line, and the other is stationed in Wuxi to inspect Beijing-Shanghai Line, the gap is so big, can't we find an opportunity for a sneak attack? " Zhang Ying scratched her head in embarrassment. Wu Ming is absolutely right. The Japanese army massed heavy troops and put them into the Wuhan battlefield. Due to the unfavorable battle situation, troops were transferred from the rear many times. The troops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are now extremely empty. Wang Jingwei is still there. In Wuhan, the National Government is resisting tenaciously. The situation of the Sino-Japanese war is still unclear. The Japanese army can assign few puppet troops. After the deployment, the Japanese army, less than three divisions, has to undertake the defense tasks of many counties and towns. At the same time, it also needs to dedicate some troops. Although the Japanese-occupied area seems to be vast and the Japanese army appears to be extremely powerful, a closer analysis shows that it is an empty frame of a foreign power and cannot withstand much trouble. In mid-October, although the Phoenix Radio Station It will continue to broadcast normally as before, but some trivial local news will be broadcast every time, such as the price of food in a certain place has increased, the price of vegetables in a certain place has dropped, the pig stocking rate in a certain place is good, or It's just missing person notices, etc. These news are generally short and don't sound like much to ordinary people, but through a specific password, you can get the information you need. Under the bright moonlight, there is silence in the middle of Guzhu Mountain between Changxing and Yixing. On a small hill called Pailing, there were trembling figures, but no one spoke loudly. Even if they occasionally saw an acquaintance opposite, they would just nod lightly and continue to lead their people to sit down silently. Fifteen days later, people kept coming. The area around Pailing gathered together, including troops of hundreds of people, as well as scattered groups of ten or more than twenty people.??Squad. On the night of the third day, more than 3,000 people gathered in the entire Pailing and surrounding areas. Lan Feng, a man of the She ethnic group whose ancestral home is Changshan, holds the official position of captain and commander of the First Special Agent Company in the New Second Army. He is twenty-four years old and is the cousin of the guard battalion commander Lei Yan. He was among the first batch of soldiers selected by the guard regiment to go out behind enemy lines. When he was an officer, he was attracted by the regiment leader Lu Kuiyuan at a glance. During the half year in the Japanese-occupied area, Lan Feng completely abandoned his high profile as a soldier king and became one with a group of farmers and mountain people. Relying on the prestigious reputation of the New Second Army, he was strongly supported by the common people. In addition, he was good at building relationships and led a group of farmers to fight traitors and divide their fields. Soon the army expanded from a company to a regiment. The officers and soldiers of the special agent company he led They all became officers, and Lan Feng was directly promoted to regimental leader.
