At this time, Tiantang Village in Dabie Mountain.
The No. 1 and No. 2 commanders of the New Fourth Army rushed to the Dabie Mountains in person.
When the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders of the New Fourth Army arrived on fast horses, Zheng Dalun, political commissar of the Dabie Mountains Independent Regiment, was already waiting at the gate with the cadres of the regiment. Xiao Yanyue, who happened to be visiting relatives in Tiantangzhai, also brought Doudou stood in the queue. After all, she was the logistics director of the Dameishan Military Division, so she had to greet the leader when he came.
"Thank you for your hard work, two chiefs!" Zheng Dalun stepped forward to greet him, stood at attention and saluted.
The No. 1 leader returned the military salute meticulously before turning over and dismounting.
However, the No. 2 leader dismounted hurriedly, threw the reins to the guards behind him, and then walked to the headquarters of the Dabie Mountains Independent Regiment without looking back, while asking: "Old Zheng, what are you doing now?" Condition?"
Zheng Dalun walked a few steps to catch up with Chief No. 2 and said with a wry smile: "Chief, I don't know this very well..."
"How did you become the political commissar?" The No. 2 leader immediately became angry and scolded Zheng Dalun, "I asked you about the battle situation on the front line, and as a political commissar, you actually don't know anything about it!"
Zheng Dalun hesitated and said, "That's not it. What, the battle is not over yet."
"I know the battle is not over yet. If this battle is over, you will still need to report to me." The No. 2 leader snorted and continued, "Let me ask you, what do you know?"
Chief No. 1 said: "Old Zheng, tell me what you know."
Chief No. 2 added: "It starts from when Xu Rui handed the child to the security company and turned back alone!"
The two leaders were rushing all the way and ran out of time on the road. So what was going on here in the Dabie Mountains now? They were really blind and didn't know anything.
This is asking Zheng Dalun to make up lessons for them.
Only then did Zheng Dalun react and quickly introduced the situation: "Two chiefs, the situation is like this. After Captain Xu handed the child to Captain Cao, he went back alone, saying that he wanted to avenge the leader of Sai University. Captain Cao tried his best to I tried to persuade him, but I couldn’t persuade him at all, so he went anyway.”
"I know that." Chief No. 2 said, "What happened later."
"Later, there was a fierce battle all night long." Zheng Dalun said, "Commander Xu sent the Oluhara Special Forces and the Kato Brigade who came to respond, and they killed corpses all over the field! The telegram sent by the Langya Brigade was To put it this way, when they chased him all the way, there were corpses all the way, at least seven or eight hundred. That’s really... "
"Langya Brigade?" Chief No. 1 said, "That's not right. When we rushed here from Damei Mountain, Langya Brigade hadn't even reached Pucheng yet. Even if they were faster than us, they probably had just entered the Dabie Mountains now. District, how could it be possible that we arrived at the Dabie Mountains yesterday? This is completely impossible."
"Chief, I didn't make it clear just now." Zheng Dalun quickly explained, "It's not the Langya Brigade, it's the Langya Squadron brought to Chongqing by Comrade Leng Tiefeng. They parachuted to near Macheng the night before yesterday, and they were accompanied by the Kuomintang. A corps of officers were said to be out to carry out a top-secret mission, but no details were given.”
"That's right." Chief No. 1 nodded and said, "What happens next?"
"What's next?" Zheng Dalun asked again, "Thanks to Comrade Leng Tiefeng's Wolf Fang Team arriving in time, Captain Xu was already injured in many places and lost a lot of blood. His physical condition was already very bad, and the weather was bad. It also lit up, and the Japs quickly launched a counterattack, but fortunately Comrade Leng Tiefeng led the Japs away."
When the two chiefs heard this, they breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.
Chief No. 1 said: "So, nothing happened to Comrade Xu Rui?"
"It's okay, of course it's okay." Zheng Dalun said, "What could be the problem?"
"Something's wrong!" Chief No. 2 said, "He's fine, but we have something! When he comes back, I have to tell him about leaving his post without permission. The Fourth Battle of Songhu is about to break out. As a member of the Songhu Independent Regiment, Commander, at such a juncture, he did not stay in Shanghai to take charge, but he actually left his troops and ran to the Dabie Mountains to save people..."
"Lao Xiang, we'll talk about the punishment later." After the No. 1 leader finished speaking, he said to Zheng Dalun, "Old Zheng, since Xu Rui is fine, what about the others? Where are they now?"
The No. 2 leader suddenly said: "Yes, Xu Rui and others are here."
Zheng Dalun spread his hands and said: "Captain Xu is still on the front line."
"Still on the front line?" Chief No. 2 asked, "What are you doing on the front line?"
"Isn't this revenge?" Zheng Dalun said, "Looking for revenge against the little devil."
"Revenge?" Chief No. 1 said in astonishment, "Hasn't he already crippled the Oluhara Special Forces Brigade and the Kato Brigade who came to assist him? He almost risked his own life for this, and he also Not enough?"
"This is not enough." Zheng Dalun said, "Two leaders, Commander Xu said this, I will not attack others unless they attack me, but if they attack me, I will attack them..."
"Bullshit, did Xu Rui say this?" Chief No. 2 said angrily, "This is what the chairman said."
"I know this was said by the chairman, but I haven't finished it yet." Zheng Dalun rolled his eyes and added, "Captain Xu added a few more sentences to the chairman. If I am a culprit, I will retaliate tenfold!"
"If I commit a crime, I will retaliate tenfold?" Chief No. 2 slapped his thigh and said, "I like to hear this! We are not Confucius, and it has never been our character to retaliate directly! Okay, what Xu Rui said Well done!"
Chief No. 1 shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Xu Rui, this kid, really doesn't want to suffer any loss."
Zheng Dalun added: "That's why Captain Xu refused to come back. He said he would never come back until the Xiaoluyuan Special Forces Brigade and the independent 13th Brigade that came for reinforcements were destroyed!"
"What did you say?" The face of the No. 2 leader immediately darkened, "Destroyed the Xiaoluyuan Special Forces Brigade and the independent 13th Brigade that came for reinforcements? You mean the independent troops stationed in Macheng? Mixed into the Thirteenth Brigade?"
The No. 2 leader had just praised Xu Rui for his character, but when he heard that Xu Rui had led Gao Chu's Dabie Mountains Independent Regiment to fight against the Japs' independent mixed 13th Brigade, he immediately became anxious again.
"That's right, it's this brigade." Zheng Dalun nodded and said, "Captain Xu had to kill him before he would give up. Lao Gao had already rushed over with the main force of the independent regiment. Because he was worried about insufficient troops, he also sent Liu'an to The county brigades from the three counties of Huoshan, Huoshan and Jinzhai have also been mobilized, and the total number of troops participating in the battle has exceeded 9,000."
"What? Isn't this nonsense? How can a regiment stand up to a mixed brigade of Japanese soldiers?" Commander No. 1 was immediately anxious after hearing this. If they were fighting on the inside, the Dabie Mountains Independent Regiment would not necessarily be afraid of one of the Japanese soldiers. They formed a mixed brigade, but now the battlefield is closer to Macheng, which is almost the territory of the little devil.
Leader No. 2 also said: "Old Zheng, why didn't you stop Gao Chu?"
"I stopped you." Zheng Dalun said confidently, "But I can't stop you."
"This is what happened." Chief No. 1 said urgently, "Something must happen."
The No. 2 leader turned around and said to the guard: "Who is that? Hurry up and send a telegram to the third detachment..."
Before he finished speaking, a correspondent rushed into the regiment headquarters panting and reported to Zheng Dalun: "Political commissar, a great victory in Chenjia'ao, political commissar, a great victory in Chenjia'ao!"
"A great victory in Chenjia'ao?" Before Zheng Dalun could answer, the No. 2 leader had already rushed over.
"Chief?" The correspondent then discovered that the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs of the military department were both there. He quickly stood at attention and saluted, and said loudly, "Two chiefs, our Dabie Mountains Independent Regiment just made a beautiful ambush in Chenjia'ao. Fight and annihilate the little Japanese's independent 13th Brigade in one fell swoop!"
"What?" Commander No. 2 lost his voice, "Total annihilation?!"
Chief No. 1 also asked in disbelief: "You mean total annihilation?"
"Yes." The correspondent nodded heavily and said, "Even the commander of the independent 13th Brigade, Mr. Ozaki Haru, asked us to kill him on the spot. At most, less than a hundred people from the entire brigade could escape, oh. By the way, we also captured a lot of prisoners. Didn't you say that the little Japs are so fierce that they never surrender? It turns out that these are all lies."
The two chiefs of the New Fourth Army were already stunned and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
After a long time, No. 2 finally came to his senses and said: "My goodness, the Dabie Mountains Independent Regiment actually wiped out the Little Japs' independent 13th Brigade? This was an external battle, and it was actually able to lead to a battle of annihilation. Old Ye, this shows that our New Fourth Army has the strength to fight large-scale mobile warfare with the Japanese!"
Chief No. 1 nodded heavily and said, "Well, this great victory in Chenjia'ao deserves a serious summary!"
The two leaders were overjoyed when another correspondent rushed in panting, shouting: "Political commissar, political commissar, great news, great news, great news..."
Zheng Dalun was already numb and asked: "What good news?"
The correspondent said: "The regiment leader just sent back a telegram from the front line, saying that Langya attacked Macheng and killed the commander of the Central China Condemnation Army Dongjiu Nianyan! My dear, this is the prince of the devil! Another prince was killed Got it!"
Why do you say again? Because before Higashikata Toshihiko, there was an even more unlucky Fushimi Miya Toshihiko.
After hearing the news, the two chiefs of the New Fourth Army were also numb. My dear, here we just wiped out the independent 13th Brigade of the Japs. Over there, we immediately killed the commander of the Central China Condemnation Army who killed the Japs. Guandong Jiuyi Nianyan, what does it mean that good things come in pairs? This is called good things come in pairs. What day is it today
At that moment, the No. 2 leader said urgently: "Send a telegram to Xu Rui and Gao Chu immediately and tell them to come back quickly."
"Yes!" Zheng Dalun agreed and hurried to the communications office to send a telegram to Gao Chu.
But Chief No. 1 smiled and said to Chief No. 2: "Lao Xiang, do you still plan to punish Xu Rui?"
