Chapter five hundred and eighty second aid
After a conversation, the tone of this time has been set. Then the notice was sent to Chi Zi in Minjiang. Considering that Chi Zi in Minjiang was often hunted down by the 52nd Division, he probably felt a little guilty in his heart.
resentment.
So Wu Hao wrote an extremely detailed telegram, summarizing the opinions of Zhang Lie and Yang Ziren, the practices of the National Defense Forces, etc. and sent it to the red organization in Minjiang.
After receiving this telegram, the Red leadership in Minjiang fell into silence. If there is anyone among the Reds who hates the 52nd Division the most, it is undoubtedly the troops who stayed in Minjiang and persisted in the struggle.
After the Nanjing government army pursued the main force, the 52nd Division became the main force in the local encirclement and suppression of the Red Army! The two sides often fought with each other, and many people in the Red Army died under the guns of the 52nd Division.
And many people in the 52nd Division died under the red gun. To be fair, the two sides definitely have sworn enemies!
"Commander! I can't figure it out!" Liang Zhengyi, the detachment leader who was smoking a cigarette in front of the table, said to the current commander-in-chief of Minjiang Red: "It's not that the headquarters doesn't know about our relationship with the 52nd Division! Why do we
And let comrades risk their lives to help them!"
"This is a collective decision of the organization! If you understand it, you must implement it! If you don't understand it, you must implement it!" Commander-in-Chief Ye Xiping was even more angry than the detachment leader! But what can he do?!
"Comrade Zi Ren and Comrade Wu Hao have thought carefully and correctly!" Ye Xiping took a deep breath and said slowly: "We are renewing the 52nd Division. No matter how deep the hatred is, it is still the fault of us Chinese.
Thing! Since Lu Xingrong of his 52nd Division is fighting a national war! We should support him!"
As she spoke, Ye Xiping slowly lowered her head and said in a deep voice.
"I think what the tiger in the three northeastern provinces said is very reasonable. At any time and under any circumstances, national interests and national interests must be higher than all politics, beliefs and ideologies!"
Many people in later generations said that the Red Army could not defeat the Japanese army by guerrilla warfare...and so on. Unfortunately, the Japanese as opponents did not see it that way.
This is recorded in the "Memoirs of Neji Okamura" (page 325) written by the Japanese Masao Inaba:
"Speaking of combat, generally speaking, all armies and front-level corps are conducting crusade against local Communist forces day and night. The Communist army is indeed good at espionage (within its own country) and is resourceful, so it often happens that my small unit is completely wiped out.
.”
What is said here is very clear. Because the Red guerrillas desperately attacked and annihilated small groups of troops, the Japanese army had to start a full-scale attack on the Red. And the Red was not just wandering without attacking as some people said.
The "Memoirs of Bai Chongxi" (page 304) also says this:
"When I proposed the guerrilla warfare proposal, someone once pointed out that ** would not practice guerrilla warfare at the end. Whether this proposal is feasible still needs to be considered. I said that **, who started out fighting guerrilla warfare, is also Chinese, and ** can engage in guerrilla warfare.
**You can also fight guerrillas."
"Furthermore, some people think that guerrilla warfare is a way to preserve strength, but they do not know that guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is an extremely arduous task. Due to difficulties in supplying supplies, and in most cases, the few will fight against the many, and the weak will fight against the strong. Therefore, officers and soldiers must work harder, be alert and brave
, it is definitely not something that can be accomplished by those who preserve their strength.”
If it is just the opinion of two high-level officials, then the memories of Akira Fujiwara, an eyewitness, have already explained whether Red is resisting the war.
On page 55 of his memoir "Military Records on the Chinese Front", he wrote that in 1942, a squad in his regiment was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. The entire army was wiped out and all weapons were taken away. By the time reinforcements arrived, the Eighth Route Army had disappeared.
Without a trace.
"Like this, it shows that the tactics of the Eighth Route Army are successful. There are many cases of Japanese army's negligence, especially in the eastern Hebei region. The First Regiment of China's garrisoned infantry also often has small units being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army." Akira Fujiwara described this like this.
of.
The "Cambridge History of the Republic of China" compiled by Americans directly refutes the so-called assertion of conserving strength and not actively resisting the war.
"The Nanjing Government has widely publicized that the red's well-thought-out and cynical policy is to use 70% of its power for expansion, 20% to deal with the Nanjing Government, and only 10% to resist Japan. This has become an honest issue in the history of the Nanjing Government. I
has examined this issue in some detail and concludes that such a policy was never announced; to that extent the allegation is fabricated."
However, the most interesting thing is that some people claim that guerrilla warfare is ineffective. Unfortunately, Xiongqi Gong himself does not think so. In 1966, the National Defense Ministry's History and Political Bureau, which retreated to Taiwan, compiled "The Military Contributions of Leaders"
It is said in "Great Deeds":
"After the Anti-Japanese War began, the leader (Chiang Zhongzheng) determined that China's armaments at that time would never allow the use of hard-fought methods to resist enemies with a modern army, navy and air force."
"... In the war guidance applied under this supreme strategy, in the first phase, we must 'trade space for time' to enhance combat power, and in the second phase, we must persist in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines to strive for 'accumulating small victories into big victories.'"
, holding the battlefield from beginning to end, avoiding the enemy's individual defeats, maintaining the main force, and waiting for the favorable opportunity to counterattack. This is the greatest success in the strategic guidance of the anti-Japanese war, and it is also the highest creativity in the leader's war decision-making."
Well, this time it became the work of Chiang Zhongzheng. And now, it has turned into a statement attacking the red. This history is really helpless~
There is also the issue of the main force mentioned, which makes people even more helpless. On page 216 of the "North China Public Security War" compiled by the Japanese Defense Agency, the title is "1940 Mid-Spring Massacre and Local Security Situation" as recorded:
"The communist army has formed the main force in the anti-Japanese guerrilla war in terms of both quality and quantity. Therefore, the main targets for maintaining public security in the occupied areas are naturally the Japanese forces."
Page 223, the fundamental policy of the Suppression Work in 1940: "For this reason, the focus of the Front Army's crusade must be directed at the Communist Army."
Since 1940, the Japanese military has repeatedly emphasized that suppressing the Communist Party comes first and suppressing the Communist Party is the focus every year.
There were at least 27 large-scale battles against the Communists recorded in "North China Security War" from 1940 to 1943 alone. After the specific attachment, we can see that the Japanese army used infantry, cavalry, artillery, armor and even aviation during this period.
!
Well, in fact, the Japanese army just let their soldiers go out for a walk because they were too full.
Turning to the Minjiang River at this time, Ye Xiping and others gathered their troops and prepared to go to Xingxing Village and other places to rescue the 52nd Division that was fighting the Japanese army.
Huo Qingyun and others who were stationed in the Minjiang River as the National Defense Force naturally followed the army. However, their task was not to directly participate in the battlefield, but to prepare to cooperate with the red local militia and other organizations to harass the Japanese army's rear line of defense.
The Japanese cavalry troops have now occupied Fuzhou, so what they will do next is undoubtedly to directly surround and annihilate the 52nd Division!
What Huo Qingyun and the others had to do was to delay their encirclement to give Ye Xiping and others time to break into the battlefield and rescue the 52nd Division.
Lu Xingrong did not know that his once mortal enemy would now organize troops to come to the rescue. There were now less than a thousand troops of the 52nd Division on the position.
The Japanese army's artillery fire was extremely fierce. Countless rounds of attacks had allowed the Japanese army to roughly understand the defense line built by Lu Xingrong's 52nd Division. They no longer made direct surprise attacks, but occupied various key points step by step and then deployed light and heavy machine guns to attack.
Fire coverage.
The infantry fired with precision, striving to kill a large number of Lu Xingrong's defenders! It must be said that this method is extremely effective!
If it is not exposed, the Japanese army will continue to push the light and heavy machine guns forward to set up new lines of defense. This will compress the activity space of the 52nd Division, but if it is exposed, it will directly become a target for the Japanese army!
The Japanese army also learned to be cunning. Once they encountered the charge of the 52nd Division, they immediately withdrew! Then they provided light and heavy fire cover, and grenade launchers continued to bombard the rear in an attempt to intercept the 52nd Division's charge.
Forced, the team could only retreat. Although the Japanese army had not made much progress, Lu Xingrong knew that it was only a matter of time before his 52nd Division would be destroyed.
Now, I can't withdraw even if I want to. Fuzhou is lost. Once I choose to withdraw, the Japanese army will undoubtedly choose to chase after the 52nd Division!
At that time, they will be even more passive, and it will be difficult to even resist! When the battle has reached this point, Lu Xingrong can only fight on bravely!
Ren Dehai of Xingxing Village also felt uncomfortable. The Japanese attack was very fierce! Even planes appeared and bombed the position continuously. Fortunately, when he took over, Ren Dehai strengthened the anti-gun holes on the position, so he basically defended the Japanese army.
attack.
Moreover, he connected all the salient points of several positions with communication trenches, so that the Japanese army could not easily break into the position. This tactics gave the Japanese army a headache.
Even so, Ren Dehai's losses were only slightly less than those of his division commander Lu Xingrong. Now his men who are still able to fight are only more than 1,400 lightly wounded. This also includes the 50 men who were originally fighting on the position.
Soldiers of the Second Division!
Withdraw?! Or not? Ren Dehai smoked a cigarette and fell into deep thought. If he evacuated, he would definitely be able to evacuate. But without the position in Xingxing Village, the Japanese army would undoubtedly attack Lu Xingrong's headquarters directly from the side after the surprise attack.
!
Then, Lu Xingrong will undoubtedly be destroyed directly. This is what Ren Dehai does not want to see.
"Commander, the division commander's adjutant is here..." Just when Ren Dehai was hesitating, his adjutant walked into the headquarters and said in a deep voice to Ren Dehai: "He brought the division commander's order..."
Ren Dehai was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Invite him in quickly!" The adjutant responded, and then invited Lu Xingrong's adjutant Lu Wenshan in.
After Lu Wenshan came in, he looked at Ren Dehai and gave a military salute and said solemnly: "The commander asked me to ask you: Why haven't you withdraw yet?!"
"I..." Ren Dehai was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Lu Wenshan!
"You still won't withdraw! Do you want all the Minjiang disciples of my 52nd Division to be buried here?!" Lu Wenshan's words made Ren Dehai fall into silence...
Chapter completed!
