Since the uprising on the battlefield, Liao Taichang and Deputy Commander Li immediately joined the ranks of the East China People's Liberation Army on the spot, and were temporarily reorganized into the Jiang Defense Fleet directly under the jurisdiction of the East China Liberation Army Headquarters, responsible for the security and defense of the Yangtze River, to prevent the remnants of the Kuomintang from sabotage As soon as Zhou Wu saw the two of them coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Haha, you came just in time, I think the headquarters said that it was a good idea to invite you here, so let's not beat around the bush, let's just say it, I want to use the ships of the river defense fleet to load our troops directly south from the waterway, and advance by land and water, intercept the remnants of the Kuomintang who fled south, and strive to encircle them all in the area north of Shanghai, do you see any problems?"
Zhou Wu spoke very politely, although Lao Liao and Deputy Commander Li were Kuomintang officers who came from the uprising, they were not much different from themselves in rank, and they were still scarce in technical arms, and they had warships and cannons in their hands, so they had to be humble and polite to ask others for advice.
Deputy Commander Li nodded again and again: "Commander Ma, you are polite, we came this time to accept your leadership and command, Brother Ye in Nanyang often mentions you, saying that you are a general, fighting devils unambiguously, and fighting is also powerful, Brother Ye and we are both fellow villagers and friends, his ability is not small, I can get his praise, I see it today, Commander Ma really lives up to his reputation, admire and admire." ” Zhou Wu was puzzled by the second monk, where did he deserve his reputation Deputy Commander Li and Director Liao laughed: "Commander Ma, when we came to your station just now, we knew when we saw the spirit of your team, this unit is not ordinary, even in the People's Liberation Army, military discipline is strict, the military appearance is neat, although the dress is not good, but it is clean, the spirit is very good, the fighting spirit is high, such a team does not win the battle, then who wins, don't talk about Tang Enbo's kind of tofu troops, Even Lao Jiang's five trump cards can't be beaten again. ” Lao Niu heard Deputy Commander Li's words beside him, and hurriedly interjected: "It's a pity that Lao Jiang's five trump cards are all studying and reforming in the prisoner of war camp of the People's Liberation Army outside, I'm afraid they won't have a chance to fight us again." ” "Hahaha, Lao Jiang's defeat has been decided, there is almost no elite south of the Yangtze River that can resist the southward movement of the People's Liberation Army, Chief Bai's Gui army has some combat strength, but the general trend is like this, they are afraid that they will not be able to resist the trend of the PLA going south, and it will be useless for them to toss like this."
Deputy Commander Li nodded and said, according to the information he knew, his old bosses, the older generation of the Guangdong Cantonese Army, had already planned to go north to participate in the Political Consultative Conference of the founding of New China, but he didn't understand why Chief Bai, who had always been known as "Little Zhuge ", was still stubbornly resisting here in Jiangnan Zhou Wu immediately said to Deputy Commander Li and Chief Liao: "I have a naval division under my command, the division commander is called Huang Shuisheng, I used to work there for a period of time in Gaoyou Lake, my brothers are very good at water, and their water skills are great, but the equipment is not very good, except for a few small gunboats, they are all fishing boats, which can be made with here in the inland river, but I am afraid it will not work when it comes to the sea, I want to be escorted by your river defense fleet, and Huang Shuisheng's water combat division loaded troops from the sea to Shanghai, We went straight to Suzhou from Wuxi on land, so that the land and water routes went hand in hand, your waterway landed in Taicang, Kunshan, and we inserted Qingpu and other places in Changshu Suzhou, intercepted the enemy fleeing south, surrounded Shanghai, the last major city of the Kuomintang army in East China, and took it. ” Deputy Commander Li and Lao Liao listened to Zhou Wu's plan to encircle the enemy in Shanghai by land and water, and nodded again and again: "This deployment is very good, from the point of view of the speed of the march, our waterway is slightly faster, and we can be used as an advance team to seize Kunshan, Taicang and other places first, intercept the enemy fleeing south from the direction of Nanjing and Jiangyin, and prevent them from moving closer to Shanghai City, so as to reduce the pressure on us when besieging Shanghai." ” The task of the fat man's first division is to seize Taicang and Kunshan and other places before the Kuomintang troops fleeing south with the cooperation of the river defense fleet, and cut off the retreat route of these enemies fleeing south to Shanghai, cut off the sea retreat of the enemies of Shanghai, and completely surround them here.
After receiving the order, the fat man immediately took the first division team to board Huang Shuisheng's fishing boats and gunboats, as well as Deputy Commander Li's warship, starting from the mouth of the Yangtze River in Jiangyin, rushing towards the southeast, most of the fat man's brothers are landlubbers, where have you seen such a formation, on the warship out of the Yangtze River estuary, suddenly the sea and sky are colorful, boundless, you can't see the end at a glance, the large and small ships in front are densely packed, the formation is quite shocking, so that the fat man himself is also sighed, and said to his brothers:" I can't imagine that we are back more than ten years later, and it is back with thousands of troops, more than ten years ago we dealt with the Japanese little devils, and now we are dealing with the Kuomintang army, if the time goes back more than ten years, we have such a team and equipment at that time, then the little devils do not have to die so many brothers, when Shanghai Luodian resisted the devil's attack, we had to four or five brothers' lives to resist a little devil, all of them were piled up by the brothers with their own lives, It's a shame that some of the brothers died as children under the age of eighteen."
Looking at the scene of the sea and sky in front of him, he couldn't help but recall that twelve years ago, when their 79th Army Independent Brigade fought day and night with the landing devil division in Luodian, Shanghai, thinking of those dead comrades, the fat man felt that he was now able to march with the troops mightily, how lucky and not easy it was.
The speed of the waterway is faster than Zhou Wu, who is desperately marching on land, in less than two days, the fat man's fleet has marched to the sea near Taicang, just when he was about to land ashore to seize the position to cut off the southern retreat of the remnants of the Kuomintang troops, suddenly the lookout brothers on the warship found a suspicious fleet on the sea in front of them, and immediately reported it to Deputy Commander Li, Deputy Commander Li hurriedly reported the situation to the fat man, and when the fat man heard this, he hurriedly rushed to the flagship of Deputy Commander Li in a small boat, and discussed with him: " What happened in front of Commander Lee, did you encounter an enemy warship?"
Deputy Commander Li nodded: "According to the current situation we have observed, the fleet in front is estimated to be the fleet of the Kuomintang Navy, but Division Commander Liu don't worry, even if we run into them, we don't need to worry, I still know a lot of people in the Kuomintang Navy fleet, and they are now using radio to communicate, and the situation will come over immediately." ” As he was talking, a communications sailor hurriedly came and reported to Deputy Commander Li: "We have already contacted the fleet in front, they are the Kuomintang Second Fleet, patrolling the area around Wusongkou, and asked what our fleet is doing and immediately replied." ” When Deputy Commander Li heard this, his expression suddenly became grim, and he immediately nodded and said to the fat man: "Division Commander Liu, it is a warship of the Second Fleet of the Kuomintang Navy, and their fleet commander is from Fujian.
But I don't know how at this time, their fleet should be on the way to Taiwan, how can it suddenly appear here at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Shanghai."
In the early years, when Mr.
Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, organized the revolutionary government in Guangdong, Deputy Commander Li and they had long followed the father of the country to fight in the east and west, and at the time of Chen Jiongming's rebellion, it was Deputy Commander Li whose fleet covered Mr.
Zhongshan They broke through from Guangzhou and swayed on the sea at the mouth of the Pearl River for more than a month.
Because of this reason, after the establishment of the Nationalist Government, the position of the fleet of the Cantonese army in the Kuomintang Navy was on a par with the officers of the Fujian faction who were born in the old Nanyang Naval Division, but the Cantonese faction and the Fujian faction did not accept anyone in the Kuomintang Navy, and they both wanted to rectify each other, while Lao Chiang had an ambiguous attitude towards this kind of open and secret struggle in the navy, so that the factional struggle between the Cantonese and Fujian factions became more intense, resulting in the officers of both sides not greeting each other when they met, and Liang Zi became deeper and deeper.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, it was still improvised, and when the full-scale civil war broke out, the struggle between the two factions became more and more intense, and even put it on the table, even the head of the military commander, Boss Dai, also wanted to insert a foot in the naval system, so that Lao Jiang was tired of cutting off a few disobedient thorns, and played fifty boards on both sides, and finally calmed down the battle in the navy, but these two factions did not dare to fight anymore in the open, but secretly they were still constantly competing.
It will definitely not be easy to let go, not to mention that this enemy is now defecting to the Communist Party again, and it is even more of a new and old account together, and you have to come up with one that you can't live or die.
How did the fat man know that Deputy Commander Li had such an intricate relationship with the Kuomintang fleet opposite, he hurriedly said to Deputy Commander Li: "No matter what hard and soft eggs he is, when he meets Lao Tzu, he wants to go back, and let the brothers prepare for battle." t1706231537:
