Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

night

Dachangwu Nationalist Army Temporary Headquarters

A middle-aged man with a hooked nose

gloomy face

He said loudly: "Everyone"

"Your 11th, 14th and 67th Divisions are the three main divisions of our 18th Army."

“A week has passed.”

"But your troops haven't arrived in Shanghang yet."

“This made the old man very unhappy.”

"Director Chen, who is in Wuhan, also sent a telegram to reprimand us."

"And let me come and see what happened."

After the middle-aged man with the hooked nose finished speaking

The command room was completely silent.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "What?"

“And let me name names.”

"it is good"

"Commander Huang, you are the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army this time..."

"You tell me."

Commander Huang of the 11th Division

Stand up immediately and straighten your back

He said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief"

"Our three divisions entered Fujian at the beginning"

“We quickly took Wuping.”

"But when we arrived at Shifang Town, we encountered sniper fire from at least one division of the Red Bandits."

"Shifang Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack"

"Plus, the Red Bandits are very desperate."

“Where we were delayed for some time”

The middle-aged man with a hooked nose slammed the conference table

Dissatisfied, he said: "Even so"

"Your military strength is more than three times that of the Red Bandits."

"Could it be that a small Shifang Town can stop you?"

Commander Huo of the 14th Division stood up and said, "Commander-in-Chief!"

“I have a question.”

"Didn't they say that the Red Bandits in other places are being restrained?"

“There’s something wrong with this news.”

"We were about to break through the defenses of Shifang Town."

“But I don’t know.”

"At least one regiment of reinforcements came out from somewhere."

"The weapons are quite powerful, with at least thirty or forty light and heavy machine guns."

“It caught us off guard.”

Before the middle-aged commander with the hooked nose could speak

A voice sounded outside the command room.

Commander Luo

“I know what’s going on here.”

Immediately after

A thin, gentle young man wearing glasses walked in.

Everyone in the command room was shocked

Don't look at him as thin and gentle

But he is indeed a cold-blooded man who kills without blinking an eye.

After the Nationalist Army occupied the Soviet area

It was he who led the "Special Forces" and other secret agencies

Emulating the German Gestapo and SA

Massacre of nearly 30 innocent people in Jiangxi

He also wrote in his "Report on the Suppression of Bandits": "In the areas where the bandits were suppressed, everything was destroyed, and the whole place was desolate. Every house was burned, every tree was cut down, every chicken and dog was killed, and no able-bodied man was left alive. There was no smoke from cooking fires in the houses, and only the cries of ghosts could be heard in the fields."

Such a murderer.

Deeply trusted by the old man

middle-aged man with a hooked nose

Although he is the Lieutenant General of the National Army

When I saw this person enter the command room

Also frowned

He said with a wry smile: "It's so late."

"What wind?"

"Bring our Captain Kang"

"Here comes the little temple that is our Eighteenth Army"

The thin young man smiled and said, "Haha"

"General Luo, what are you talking about?"

"Everyone knows that the 18th Army is the main force of our national army."

"The generals of the 18th Army are the pillars of the country."

"This time I came to the 18th Army Headquarters"

"I also got the old man's order."

"I came to give General Luo a helping hand."

Commander Luo, a soldier

I really don't like these "Jinyiwei"

I hate their behavior even more.

But for someone of his level

I have long kept my emotions hidden, my likes and dislikes hidden.

Commander Luo nodded helplessly

He smiled and said, "Since Captain Kang came with the old man's will..."

"Please take a seat."

"Guards, serve tea."

Captain Kang smiled and greeted everyone

He sat down next to Commander Luo

Commander Luo glanced at Captain Kang

Said: "Captain Kang just said you know what's going on"

"Captain Kang, please give me some advice."

Kang adjusted his glasses with his hand

He smiled and said, "Commander Luo, you are too polite."

"Just now, Commander Huo said that a regiment of Red Bandits is coming to reinforce us."

"They also carried a lot of light and heavy machine guns."

“We know about this.”

“This group is from Longyan”

The 14th Division Commander Huo's expression changed and he said, "That's not right."

"According to plan"

"The 88th Division is attacking Shanghang"

"Shanghang lacks military strength"

"The Red Bandits of Longyan are reinforcements."

"We will also reinforce Shanghang"

"How did you bypass Shanghang and come to Shifang Town?"

Captain Kang smiled and said, "Commander Huo is right."

“In our original battle plan”

"Longyan is within the 19th Route Army's defense zone"

"We are trying to hide our intentions for this operation."

"No troops were sent to attack Longyan directly."

"Instead, the 88th Division was dispatched."

"Taking advantage of Shanghang's lack of military strength"

"Take Shanghang first"

"As long as we occupy Shanghang"

"Then it would be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Longyan, Liancheng, and Wuping Red Bandits."

"That way we can defeat them one by one."

"But there was a problem with the 88th Division."

"According to the information sent back by our action team's secret line within the Red Bandits"

"When the 88th Division attacked Shanghang"

"Li Yan, the commander of the 24th Red Division of Shanghang, is back"

"And recapture the military power of the Red 24th Division from their patrol team."

"Restructured defenses"

"This delayed the 88th Division's offensive speed."

"Then the Red Bandits suddenly abandoned the entire Longyan"

"Attacked the 88th Division's artillery positions from behind"

"Caused the 88th Division to fail in its attack on Shanghang"

"That's why the Red Bandits sent a regiment of troops to reinforce Shifang Town."

"As for the light and heavy machine guns they carried"

"Part of it is the equipment captured from the 88th Division"

"And some of it you brought back from the United States, Li Yan."

Commander Luo frowned and said, "Captain Kang..."

"The Li Yan you mentioned"

"It was Li Yan who drove eight divisions from southwestern Fujian to southern Fujian."

“He didn’t go to America.”

"Why are you back at this time?"

"Besides, didn't the old man send warships to patrol and guard the coast of Fujian?"

"Plus there are so many national army troops in the south"

How did he return to Shanghang?

Captain Kang sighed and said, "Commander Luo, you also know that our influence cannot extend to the United States."

"When did Li Yan and the others come back? Which route did they take?"

“We can’t be sure.”

"They didn't enter from nearby at all, but took a detour through Guangdong."

"Then with the help of the power of Hongmen Shuitang"

“That’s how I sneaked into Shanghang.”

"If this information is not from our secret line..."

“We still won’t know.”

Commander Luo shook his head and said, "No wonder the eight divisions in southwestern Fujian were driven to southern Fujian."

"This Li Yan can be used when they are in internal turmoil..."

"Save Shanghang"

“He really has some skills.”

Then Commander Luo changed the subject

Said: "Then according to what Captain Kang said"

"Shanghang has now strengthened its defenses"

“Our original plan cannot be implemented.”

"In addition, the Red Bandits in front of our 18th Army"

“It’s not just Wuping’s division.”

"Add the troops from Shanghang and Longyan"

"We are facing at least two or even three divisions of Red Bandits"

"Then this battle will be difficult to fight."

Captain Kang nodded

He smiled and said, "Yes."

"But Commander Luo, don't worry."

"I have reported this matter to the old man."

"I came here this time to convey the old man's latest order."

"Let your 18th Army"

“Don’t attack so hastily.”
