Feicheng serves as the advance base for the Japanese Central China Front to move north to Xuzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that any action that occurs here will affect the progress of the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party sent a large number of espionage personnel to Feicheng, and the Kuomintang's Fuxing Society also went there. Feicheng dispatched the most elite intelligence team. ↗,
Therefore, the battle in Feicheng had just begun, and the spies of the Fuxing Society were immediately alerted.
The spies of the Fuxing Society were indeed powerful. Not only did they penetrate deeply into the Japanese, they also penetrated into the puppet army's Wanzhong Security Division to a considerable extent. Previously, the independent regiment relied on the recruitment of the puppet army's Wanzhong Security Brigade to enter the city. Although it was successful, It was hidden from the spy of the little devil, but it was not hidden from the spy of the Fuxing Society.
Elder Mao of Feicheng Station of Fuxing Society quickly made a judgment that was close to the facts based on the clues he collected, and then quickly reported it to the commander of the Third War Zone.
That night, Wan Xiangyun happened to be in charge of the commander's department of the Third War Zone.
After Wan Xiangyun received the telegram, he did not dare to neglect and hurried to find Gu Shutong.
It was already past one o'clock in the morning and almost two o'clock in the morning. Gu Shutong had already gone to bed, but the adjutant woke him up. Gu Shutong walked out of the room with sleepy eyes. While putting on his shirt, he frowned and asked: "Lao Wan , what’s going on? You’re not letting anyone sleep this late at night?”
Wan Xiangyun whispered: "Maintain, Fuxing Society Feicheng Station, urgent call!"
"Feicheng Station of Fuxing Society?!" Gu Shutong felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
As early as yesterday, the spies at Fuxing Society's Feicheng Station had smelled something strange, and immediately reported their findings to the Commander-in-Chief of the Third War Zone. In the telegram, the elder cat of Fuxing Society's Feicheng Station also attached His judgment: Dameishan Independent Regiment will launch a major offensive in Feicheng.
Gu Shutong's first reaction after seeing this telegram was to spit out a mouthful of tea.
Gu Shutong also said to Wan Xiangyun, this old cat is also a veteran on the secret front, why is he acting so frivolously
In a word, Gu Shutong didn't believe that the Dameishan Independent Regiment dared to attack Feicheng. What a joke. Feicheng was a heavily guarded advance base of the Japs. How many men and guns did Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment have? With more than a thousand people, they dare to attack Feicheng? Aren't you looking for death? !
However, after yesterday's telegram, a second telegram was sent from Feicheng Station of Fuxing Society today, and the call came after one o'clock in the morning, which shows that the situation is very urgent!
Could it be that what the old cat said is true? !
At that moment, Gu Shutong stretched out his hand and said, "The telegram is here, bring it."
Wan Xiangyun quickly handed over the telegram from Fuxing Society.
After Gu Shutong read the telegram, the expression on his face immediately became very exciting.
Compared with yesterday's vague tone, in today's telegram, Lao Mao's tone was very certain. He said with certainty that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had launched the Battle of Feicheng a quarter of an hour ago, because it was only a quarter of an hour before the battle started. Zhong, so the situation of the battle is still unclear, but Lao Mao made a bold judgment that the Dameishan Independent Regiment will definitely win this battle!
The reason why Lao Mao dared to make such a judgment was that the Dameishan Independent Regiment planned and acted later, while the little devils in Feicheng were unprepared. In addition, the Dameishan Independent Regiment seemed to have obtained the puppet army's Wanzhong Security Division. The specific situation of the assistance from the 1st and 3rd regiments is not clear.
After a long while, Gu Shutong put down the telegram and asked Wan Xiangyun, "Lao Wan, what do you think?"
Wan Xiangyun said: "Chief Commander, this old cat is Director Dai's loyal confidant, and he is a very famous warrior on the intelligence front of our party. Since he dares to say this, he must have the confidence."
Wan Xiangyun is a cunning person. He only pointed out Lao Mao's background without showing any tendency. In this way, if the facts are inconsistent with Lao Mao's judgment, he will not be held responsible in the end.
But Gu Shutong is also a human spirit, but he will not let Wan Xiangyun go so easily.
Gu Shutong said: "Don't give me a bad look, I'm asking for your opinion."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Wan Xiangyun could only bite the bullet and said: "General Manager, I think that Lao Mao's judgment is reasonable. According to Xu Rui's character, he can definitely do such a thing as beating Feicheng!"
"That's not what I'm asking. Xu Rui has always been brave. As long as he has that strength, he would dare to attack Nanjing, let alone Feicheng!" Gu Shutong shook his head and then asked, "I think What I want to ask you is, how trustworthy is Lao Mao’s judgment? Can the Dameishan Independent Group win?”
Wan Xiangyun said: "Well, in fact, not only Feicheng, but also the Japanese-occupied areas are not very vigilant. At least at this stage, their vigilance is very low, so Xu Rui may really have a chance."
"I think so too. After the fall of Nanjing, the little Japanese became arrogant and arrogant. It's time to give them some pain." Gu Shutong agreed, and then said, "Xu Rui was at Datong News Agency back then. Xu Rui blatantly threatened the Japanese army in his text message. Many colleagues in the headquarters and the theater scoffed, thinking that Xu Rui was just using his words. But I didn’t think so, but I didn’t expect that Xu Rui’s revenge would actually come. So fast and so hard, how dare he attack Feicheng?!"
Wan Xiangyun couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this.
Please, were you one of the people who sneered at me back then
However, on the surface, Wan Xiangyun did not dare to reveal what he was thinking.
Gu Shutong walked to the big chair and sat down, stroking his chin and said: "Oh my god, if Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment really takes Feicheng, it will be a blockbuster. It will not only destroy the Japanese If we are blown to pieces, I am afraid that our entire war zone will be disgraced, so what should we do?"
Wan Xiangyun rolled his eyes and whispered: "Chief Commander, I have an idea. It will not only save our Third War Zone from being passive, but it will also allow you, Commander-in-Chief, to shine in front of the committee members and the people of the country."
Gu Shutong's heart was moved, but he waved his hand and said: "Forget about the scenery, as long as I can not be reprimanded by the commission, I will be satisfied."
Wan Xiangyun said: "Chief Officer, didn't Lao Mao say in the telegram that the puppet army was involved in the Battle of Feicheng, and Luo Feng's puppet army, the Second Anhui Security Brigade, was also probably involved? This Luo Feng is A former battalion commander of the 88th Division, most of the officers and soldiers of his Second Wanzhong Security Brigade were remnants of soldiers who had broken out of Nanjing, so... "
Gu Shutong knew the name Luo Feng, and he was also on the must-kill list of the Fuxing Society's anti-trafficking team.
Wan Xiangyun continued: "The chief can tell the above that our Third Theater Command has actually already secretly contacted Luo Feng's puppet army Wanzhong Security Brigade and prepared for an uprising. This Feicheng battle was actually fought by our Third Theater Command. The war zone was launched, and Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment just happened to be there, what do you think, Commander-in-Chief?"
Gushu Tong couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this. If this was really the case, wouldn't the great success of recovering Feicheng fall on his Gushu Tong? My God, this is a provincial capital, this is a provincial capital! Since the full-scale Sino-Japanese war broke out, has the Nationalist Army ever regained a provincial capital
Based on this merit alone, he deserves to be awarded the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun!
But after thinking about it, Gu Shutong said worriedly: "But Xu Rui and Luo Feng may not be willing to cooperate?"
Wan Xiangyun said: "Luo Feng is easy to handle. He was originally just a small battalion commander of the 88th Division. When the time comes, the commander-in-chief will just give him the position of brigade commander. From battalion commander to brigade commander, what else can he do? Dissatisfied? It’s difficult for Xu Rui to handle, but it’s not impossible. It’s just that the main seat may need to bleed a little.”
Gu Shutong said: "Tell me what you think and I will think about it."
Wan Xiangyun said: "Beizhi has done some research on Xu Rui's character and found that although this person is tough by nature, he is also very practical. It is probably difficult to silence him with awards such as commendations and power-on commendations, so he always It has to give him practical benefits, so what is the most practical thing? Of course the army."
"Army?" Gu Shutong said with confusion, "What do you mean?"
Wan Xiangyun smiled gloomily and said: "Chief, didn't the Wannan Independent Regiment have internal strife yesterday? If Xu Rui hadn't sent his cavalry battalion to help, this bastard Wang Yi would have led the Wannan Independent Regiment to surrender to the Japanese. Although Yang Banan has the situation under control now, he still owes Xu Rui a huge favor."
Gu Shutong said with horror: "Lao Wan, you mean... to let the Wannan Independent Regiment accept the command of Xu Rui?"
"General, why don't you want to take a longer term?" Wan Xiangyun said gloomily, "Why not just reduce the Wannan Independent Regiment to a battalion, and then integrate it into Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment? On the surface, we are You suffered a loss, but you actually drove a nail into Xu Rui’s army!”
Comrade Gu Shu came to his senses and praised repeatedly: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Lao Wan, I really have you, your brain is very good, this is what I like about you!"
Wan Xiangyun smiled flatteringly and said, "I'm not cultivated by the chief."
Gu Shutong snorted slightly, and then said: "But how should the committee and the headquarters explain it? Launching such a large offensive operation without reporting it to the committee and the headquarters cannot be justified in any case, right?"
Each theater of the National Army nominally enjoys the right to launch campaigns, but in fact it must report to the headquarters, especially Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Especially for joint operations with the Communist Party, it must obtain permission from Chairman Chiang. Otherwise, it will inevitably He was suspected by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who had always regarded military power as taboo.
Wan Xiangyun said: "Let's just say that it was launched in advance because of intelligence leakage, so it was not reported in time."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Gu Shu Tongzhi said, "Now it depends on whether Xu Rui can win Feicheng."
After saying that, Gu Shutong burst into laughter. He had never thought that one day he would be so eager to hope that Xu Rui could win Feicheng!
Wan Xiangyun said: "Then I will send a telegram to Yang Banan now. This time, he will act as a special envoy to negotiate with Xu Rui, and at the same time announce the promotion order of Luo Feng from the Chief Executive Department."
"Yes." Gu Shutong nodded happily.
