Ge Sanmin listened to Zhou Wu's instructions and asked him: "Then who will we obey in this operation on the southern front?"
Zhou Wu thought for a while, and said to Ge Sanmin: "I see that you still listen to Lao Liu's command, I have already sent him a telegram, let him be in charge of the battle on the southern front, and now it has reached a critical moment on the northern front, the chief of staff in the west has encountered a large number of Kuomintang recalcitrant troops on their side, the situation is quite critical, you hurry up and pull the puppet army division that is going to revolt to me, and you can send it to Pangjia Village to support Ding Ning and them against the attack of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army." ” Ge Sanmin immediately agreed, and hurriedly rushed to the south with the battalion under his command, Xiao Tianming led the way, and soon found Liu Haozi, who was desperately trying to get rid of the Yamada Brigade behind, Liu Haozi saw that it was not the team of the 79th Army that came on the opposite side, but the Jiangbei New Fourth Army wearing gray cloth and tattered military uniforms, and immediately ordered his puppet army brothers to prepare for battle immediately, but Xiao Tianming, who arrived, shouted to stop him: "Brother-in-law, don't be impulsive, it's all your own people, don't fire" Liu Haozi was puzzled, and yelled at Xiao Tianming angrily: "You were asked to contact the 79th Army, how did you bring the New Fourth Army over, Lao Tzu is not used to the poor life of the New Fourth Army, is it that you kid made his own decisions and sold us?"
Xiao Tianming said to Liu Haozi with a face full of embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, it was Commander Zhang of the 79th Army who gave us to Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army, you know, what is the relationship between Commander Zhang and Zhou Wu of the New Fourth Army The relationship between the old subordinates and teachers and students, we ran into those guerrillas on the way this time, and we were stopped by them, and we almost lost our heads, but thanks to the help of these commanders of the New Fourth Army, we were able to escape, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see our brothers, brother-in-law." ” Although Liu Haozi is confused in the war, he is indeed quite proficient in this kind of intricate interpersonal relationship, as soon as he heard his brother-in-law say this, he immediately knew in his heart, the original batch of New Fourth Army troops are so powerful, even the commander of the 79th Army Zhang bought their face, it seems that this time they have to take refuge in the New Fourth Army, otherwise the little devils of the Yamada Brigade behind them will chase after the general, and he and so many of his brothers will not be killed by the little devils, think about it Now it is important to save your life, I can't care so much.
Liu Haozi immediately put on a smiling face at Ge Sanmin who came over: "The commander of the New Fourth Army, next is Liu Guoming, the commander of the puppet army, who was coerced by the devil before, and had no way to take refuge in the little devil to be a puppet army, but his heart has always been towards the government, and the others dare not say so, but our division has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, at most he helps the little devil maintain order in Nanjing, and he has been repeatedly oppressed and bullied by the little devil, and the brothers are angry, so they decided to revolt on the battlefield and take refuge in your army.
I hope that your army can help us make proper arrangements for the families of the officers in our division who are on the Yangzhou side in Nanjing, and we will immediately declare a pre-battle uprising."
Ge Sanmin hurriedly said to him on behalf of Zhou Wu: "Division Commander Liu, you are welcome to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to the embrace of the people. ” Of course, Liu Haozi knew the weight of the New Fourth Army's words, and when he saw Ge Sanmin's statement, the worries in his heart were immediately dispelled, and he said to the puppet army officers who were doubtful and confused and not very at ease: "Brothers, the New Fourth Army has agreed to our request, how about our Haihuasi follow them, it's really not good, when this battle is over, you can also ask to go home." ” Ge Sanmin nodded, and said to the puppet army officers who were still undecided: "Division Commander Liu is right, after this battle is over, after driving the little devils out of our Jiangbei base area, according to your respective hospitals, those who are willing to stay and join our New Fourth Army are warmly welcomed, without discrimination, and those who are not willing to fight and become soldiers again, we respect your respective choices."
Each person is given travel expenses according to the level of position, let you go home, as long as you do not continue to work with the little devil, we can choose whatever you choose, everyone is Chinese, I also quite understand your feelings when you were forced to be a puppet army, the life of the little devil is not long, everyone can see this, you should have to find a way back for yourself, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, as soon as the devil leaves, what kind of fate will happen to you if you follow the devil, you are actually very clear in your hearts. ” Ge Sanmin is usually not so good at speaking, but the reason he spoke this time was concise and to the point, and it was very moving, which immediately aroused the response of those doubtful puppet army officers, and everyone said that they listened to the words of Division Commander Liu, revolted on the spot, and threw themselves into the Jiangbei New Fourth Army.
As soon as Ge Sanmin saw that the time was ripe, he immediately announced to them: "Division Commander Liu, this unit is still under the command of you and Mr.
Xiao Tianming, and the rest of the personnel will not move, you follow these brothers of the New Fourth Army to turn to Pangjia Village in the west, where there is a team led by the chief of staff of our independent brigade, which is resisting the attacking Kuomintang recalcitrant army, you are here to reinforce our team, and together with our chief of staff, they will resist the attack of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army.
The Miyamoto Brigade in the north has been surrounded by more than 100,000 of our troops, and it is only a matter of time or two to annihilate them, after solving the Miyamoto in the northern battlefield, the large forces of our New Fourth Army will immediately turn around and go south, encircling and blocking the Yamada Brigade that has caught up, Division Commander Liu, you are also an old soldier, you should know who is in favor of the current battlefield situation, your decision to revolt before the battle is very correct, because the Yamada Brigade that chased your back ass and came up Their days are not long, Seven or eight thousand of them can withstand the attack of our army of more than 100,000."
In order to allow Liu Haozi to quickly rush to Pangjia Village with the puppet army division to support Ding Ning and their resistance to the recalcitrant Kuomintang army that came over, Ge Sanmin deliberately exaggerated the number of the New Fourth Army that surrounded the Miyamoto Brigade in Lijiawan.
Liu Haozi immediately said that he didn't know much about military operations, so his brother-in-law Xiao Tianming would act as the division commander, Ge Sanmin heard it, isn't it just right, and immediately appointed the commander of the reconnaissance company under Ding Ning who came with him to act as the deputy commander of this puppet army division, and immediately set off and rushed to Pangjia Village in the west to reinforce Ding Ning and them, who were struggling to resist the attack of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army.
Ge Sanmin said to Liu Haozi who was leaving: "You hurry up and go first, the little devils in Yamada who caught up in the south are blocked by our New Fourth Army, don't worry, there are a large army of our New Fourth Army in Jiangbei here to block the little devils in Yamada, they can't catch up with you, you are no longer a puppet army, but a glorious anti-Japanese team of the New Fourth Army respected by the local people." ” When Liu Haozi heard Ge Sanmin's words, he was very excited, and immediately expressed his willingness to follow the New Fourth Army.
Liu Haozi led the team to follow the brothers of Ding Ning's reconnaissance company and hurried to Pangjia Village in the west, at this time, the brothers sent out by Ge Sanmin to reconnoiter came back and reported: "Regiment leader, I found a devil in front and is rushing over here" Ge Sanmin hurriedly asked the scout brothers: "How far is the devil from here?"
"The devil's forward is only three miles away from here, and the large army is following closely, and there are about three or four hundred devils who come over as the vanguard, all of them are infantry, not carrying heavy weapons, and there are no tanks and armored vehicles."
The scout brothers replied.
As soon as Ge Sanmin heard this, he hurriedly found the military map of this place and took a closer look, and found that there was a river on the left side of this place, the river surface was not wide, but the water depth marked on the map was very deep.
Ge Sanmin immediately ordered his brothers to quickly move towards the edge of the river, and drew a platoon of brothers led by the commander of the first battalion to the south to lure the advance of the Yamada Brigade to deal with the river.
At this moment, the large army of Yamada little devils is being harassed and sneak attacked by the fat man's group and Huang Shuisheng's brothers of their spy group, the fat man's tactics are to attack as soon as he contacts the devil team, and when those devils turn around to deal with the fat man and their New Fourth Army, the fat man immediately retreats, hiding in the distance to rest for a while, Huang Shuisheng of course also listens to the fat man's command, frequently harasses and sneaks up on the little devil on the west bank of Hongze Lake, and specifically looks for the devil who is left behind, which makes the Yamada little devil angry, and wants to stop several times, Go all out to deal with the fat man and then go north to reinforce the Miyamoto brigade, but the commander of Nanjing's Hata Shunroku urged the Yamada brigade to go north quickly several times, Yamada gritted his teeth and left a brigade to deal with the harassment and sneak attack of the New Fourth Army on both wings, and he hurriedly marched in the direction of Lijiawan with a large force of the devil brigade, and the forward troops were the two devil squadrons of Abe Saburo, who were hurrying towards Lijiawan at the moment, and suddenly according to the report of the devil scout in front, the Imperial Alliance army of Li Hezi who was originally walking in front suddenly lost its trace, Disappeared in front.
When Saburo Abe received this information, he felt incredible, could it be that the Imperial Association Army in front of Li Hezi would be able to escape more than 10,000 people in a division, and it was impossible for it to disappear all at once, and there was no fierce gunfire in front, and this Imperial Association Army Division said that it was gone t1706231537:
