Chapter 175
If it were the past, or the previous political commissars, Liang Dadan would not have had this procedure at all. Whether it was the guerrillas in the past or the later expansion into the independent regiment, Liang Dadan had the final say in big and small matters. But now, Liang Dadan felt that it was necessary to let Shu Tongwen talk to his brothers below, because he was the political commissar of the Qingyang Independent regiment.
Shu Tongwen nodded and stepped forward and said, "Comrades, I will add that our purpose is not just to break through, but to attract the attention of the Kuomintang army, and to attract the Kuomintang army from all directions as much as possible so that the main force can break through smoothly. Therefore, we must use a lot of effort and must let Shangguan Yun believe that we are the main force of the New Fourth Army."
After Shu Tongwen finished speaking, Liang waved his hand boldly and said, "Go."
After all the officers left, Shu Tongwen took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liang Dadan, saying, "Old Liang, this is my suicide note, and there are several relics of my own. If I sacrifice, please find a way to find my parents and hand it over to the two old men. It is also possible to leave some thoughts for them."
At the end, Shu Tongwen's expression was inevitably a little dim and his tone was a little low.
Shu Tongwen did not reveal it in front of the people just now, but there was no need to hide it in front of Liang Dadan. In this battle tonight, the Qingyang Independent Regiment was responsible for an extremely dangerous task. The entire regiment plus a battalion of the teaching corps that had just been added, with more than 3,000 people. In the end, half of them could be extended. The biggest possibility is that the entire regiment died on the way to break through.
As the political commissar of the regiment, Shu Tongwen decided to personally take on the commando captain and act as a pioneer for the entire regiment.
Commando captain, this is extremely dangerous, the probability of death exceeds 99%, and it is a miracle to survive
Shu Tongwen did not expect a miracle to happen to him, so he wrote his suicide note early and packed some of his belongings together so that he would not even have time to leave a few words for his parents when things were about to come.
Liang Dadan did not reach out to pick up the envelope, and asked with his eyes wide open, "Awen, are you Yu?"
Shu Tongwen's guard spoke quickly and said, "The regiment commander, the political commissar, he must personally take charge of the commando."
"Clean nonsense" Liang Dadan said angrily, "I am not dead yet, so where is your turn to be the commando leader, the political commissar?"
Shu Tongwen didn't dare to talk to Liang and said with a hint: "Old Liang, you are the regiment commander, your position is in the regiment headquarters. You have to be responsible for commanding the entire regiment's battle. I, as a political commissar, have to take care of everything, but when it comes to war, nothing is going to happen to be the commando captain."
"Fuck, we've agreed long ago that the regiment commander is in charge of war and the political commissar is in charge of life. Don't be more ruthless than the times."
"Old Liang..." Shu Tongwen wanted to say something else, but Liang Dadan was impatient and shouted at Wang Xiaomao, "Xiaomao"
"Without" Wang Xiaomao quickly stood up.
"Look at the political commissar" Liang Dadao groaned boldly and said in a deep voice, "Don't let him go anywhere."
"Yes," Wang Xiaomao agreed and immediately stood in front of Shu Tongwen.
(Split Line)
Shangguan Yunxiang called Zhang Wenqing to the headquarters and scolded him bloodily.
Speaking of which, Shangguan Yunxiang's Army did not perform well. Two armies had six divisions, nearly 80,000 people, besieged less than 10,000 New Fourth Army. They fought fiercely for seven days and nights, without any progress. During the offensive yesterday afternoon, the 79th Division also asked the New Fourth Army to fight back, but a regiment was eaten. Zhang Wenqing also served as the commander of the 79th Division. Of course, Shangguan Yunxiang had to find him.
"Zhang Wenqing, what did you do?" Shangguan Yunxiang stared at Zhang Wenqing and asked angrily, "Zhan Zhongyan's 40th Division, Tang Yunshan's 40th Division has weak combat effectiveness. After all, they have not replenished weapons and equipment since they retreated from the battlefields of Jiujiang and De'an. But your 79th Division has been replenished four times, why is this the same?, tell me what's going on?"
Zhang Wenqing was in a difficult position. After the 79th Division was withdrawn from Jiujiang and De'an battlefield, they did replenish four times, but the weapons and ammunition were extremely limited each time, and all of them were added, which was the reserve of ammunition for a medium-sized battle. However, even such a little bit of ammunition was made to steal the battalion commanders below to sell them. Zhang Wenqing wanted to take care of the chaos, but he was unable to stop it.
After all, Zhang Wenqing could not afford military pay. Without military pay, it would be impossible to stop officers and soldiers from selling arms.
Some people slandered that the Communist Party bought weapons and ammunition from the hands of the National Army. That was pure nonsense. The Communist Party was so poor that it was so poor. Where could there be spare money to buy weapons and ammunition from the hands of the National Army? It was really ironic that most of the arms sold from the National Army fell into the hands of the Japanese, and then turned to the puppet army, and then fell into the hands of the Communist Party.
It is precisely for this reason that after the national army on the battlefield behind enemy lines sold all their weapons and ammunition and had nothing to sell, they could only sell themselves and defect to the Wang puppet government as puppet army. Although the Communist Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could not defeat the Japanese army, they relied on eating the meat of the puppet army and drinking the blood of the puppet army, they finally grew stronger little by little.
Due to the lack of food and salary, not only the Kuomintang troops on the battlefield behind enemy lines sold weapons and ammunition, but also the Kuomintang troops in the Kuomintang-controlled area also sold this. This was already an open secret, but Shangguan Yunxiang pretended not to know and insisted on accuse Zhang Wenqing of yesterday's defeat. Zhang Wenqing didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't just say that my damn soldiers had sold the ammunition long ago?
Shangguan Yunxiang cursed for a long time, and was a little tired of scolding. Just as he was about to drink water, fierce gunshots suddenly sounded outside.
The gunshot came very suddenly, and after the sound came, it did not stop again, and it was becoming increasingly fierce. After a moment, there was even a faint explosion sound. Shangguan Yunxiang and Zhang Wenqing's faces changed suddenly, and the two of them rushed out of the front line command center almost back and forth.
Shangguan Yunxiang's front line command was built on a high ground. Looking down from a high point, there was a fire in the northwest direction of Maolin, and dazzling ballistic tracers shuttled under the night sky. The two of them had experienced many battles. When they saw this situation, they knew that fierce battle broke out in that direction. Judging from the roar of shells and the explosions, some artillery soldiers even participated in the battle.
The Tang Yunshan Division was responsible for the west of Maolin. Soon Tang Yunshan sent a correspondent to report that he was attacked fiercely by the main force of the New Fourth Army and asked Shangguan Yunxiang to immediately dispatch reinforcements from all directions to reinforce. Tang Yunshan even said without blushing that his troops would last for at most half an hour. If the reinforcements had not arrived in half an hour, the Division would collapse.
"The main force of the New Fourth Army?" Shangguan Yun held the telescope in his hand, and his face was a little gloomy and unstable.
The main force of the New Fourth Army will break through, which is not surprising. The New Fourth Army has no other troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River. They have dispatched troops from Jiangbei to Maolin to rescue. First, the journey is too far, and second, they have to cross the Japanese blockade line in the middle, and there is no time at all. Therefore, the main force of the New Fourth Army trapped in Maolin has the only option to break through. If they do not break through, Shangguan Yun will feel strange.
However, what puzzled Shangguan Yunxiang was that the New Fourth Army actually chose to break out west?
Logically speaking, the New Fourth Army should choose to break eastward, because Tao Guang's P army was responsible for interception to the east of Maolin. Although Tao Guang's 28th Army also participated in this operation, it was not very active and the blockade of the New Fourth Army was not very strict. For this matter, Shangguan Yunxiang called Tao Guang over and beat him up before calling Zhang Wenqing.
The New Fourth Army did not choose to go east, but chose to go west. Are they planning to go back to Yunling?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunxiang's face suddenly became dark. Most of the backhands of the Army were arranged between Maolin and Ningguo. Therefore, even if the New Fourth Army broke through Maolin, as long as they continued to go to Ningguo and Liyang, they would still not escape Shangguan Yunxiang's palm. But if the New Fourth Army chose to return to Yunling, the situation would immediately become subtle.
