Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Commander Huang of the 11th Division said, "Captain Kang, what do you mean?"

Captain Kang smiled and said: "Although the 88th Division's attack on Shanghang was frustrated..."

"But don't forget that Longyan has become empty."

Commander Huo of the 14th Division

He thought to himself, "Captain Kang means the 88th Division is attacking Longyan."

Captain Kang said: "Commander Huo's guess is correct."

"Now all the Red Bandits' forces are concentrated in Shanghang and Liancheng."

"The 88th Division can easily take Longyan"

"Then we will march north and join forces with the 36th and 98th Divisions in Changting to attack Liancheng."

“That’s unstoppable.”

“Then march westward.”

"hey-hey"

Captain Kang's words made everyone in the command room brighten up.

Everyone burst into laughter

Commander Luo said: "The old man is still wise."

"The Red Bandits are only concerned about their own interests."

"Ha ha"

Before everyone started laughing

A man in a Zhongshan suit rushed into the headquarters

Quickly walk to Captain Kang

Whispering something

Captain Kang frowned and said, "Why is he here?"

"Let him in quickly"

Seeing Captain Kang's serious expression, everyone quieted down.

Soon a man in a Zhongshan suit came in with a middle-aged man in a Red Army uniform.

Everyone in the command room immediately drew their pistols.

Captain Kang stood up quickly

He waved his hand and said, "Everyone."

“These are our own people.”

Without waiting for General Luo and his men to ask

Captain Kang walked directly to the middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform

Said: "Director Gong"

"The war in southwestern Fujian is not over yet"

"How did you come?"

The middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform said solemnly: "Your 88th Division has been severely damaged in Longyan."

Captain Kang hurriedly asked the middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform: "Director Gong?"

"What happened to the 88th Division that was severely damaged?"

The middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform said: "What's the specific situation?"

“I don’t know.”

"But Chairman Zhang of the Southwest Fujian Military Region said in person that the 88th Division was severely damaged."

"In addition, all the main forces of the Red Army in southwestern Fujian are now in Xibei."

"Prepare for a decisive battle with the three divisions of your 18th Army"

"At the same time, they appointed Li Yan, commander of the 24th Red Army Division, as the commander-in-chief of this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign."

After the middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform finished speaking

The command room suddenly became quiet

Then everyone burst into laughter

At this time, Commander Huang of the 11th Division stood up and pointed at the middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform.

He shouted, "Who are you, talking nonsense here?"

"Did you know that the 88th Division is equipped with Germany's most advanced weapons?"

"There are 36 field guns and mountain guns alone."

"There are 400 light and heavy machine guns."

"Such troops armed to the teeth"

"The situation of losing the main Red Bandit defense in Longyan"

"You told me the 88th Division was severely damaged"

"Isn't this a fantasy?"

"Also, you said that all the main forces of the Red Army in southwestern Fujian are now in Xibei."

“That’s simply impossible.”

"The 36th and 98th Divisions are still in Liancheng fighting a major division and two regiments of the Red Bandits."

"How could all the main forces of the Red Bandits be in Xibei?"

Middle-aged man in Red Army uniform

He snorted coldly and retorted: "Since the 88th Division is so powerful..."

“Why did you fail in Shanghang?”

After the middle-aged man in the Red Army uniform said this

Immediately said to Captain Kang: "Captain Kang"

"It's urgent"

"Hurry up and deal with this matter"

"Report to the superiors"

What else does Commander Huang of the 11th Division have to say?

Captain Kang interrupted him loudly: "Okay"

"Stop arguing."

Commander Luo

"Hurry up and report this news to the old man via radio."

Commander Luo frowned

Seeing this, Captain Kang asked cautiously, "Who is he?"

Captain Kang knew that Commander Luo was doubting the accuracy of the news.

If you don't make it clear

These arrogant soldiers won't believe it.

So Captain Kang whispered in Commander Luo's ear

He quietly introduced: "This is Chief of Staff Gong, who was once the Red Bandits' ZY Branch in the Soviet Area."

"Later he abandoned the dark and joined the light"

"Became the anti-communist guerrilla commander of the Guangdong Army's 1st Army"

"Repeated military exploits"

“I was personally received by the old man”

“Currently Director of the Joint Defense Program for Five Counties in Northern Guangdong”

Speaking of this

Captain Kang paused.

Then he said: "This time the news of the Red Bandits' internal strife and attack on Changting"

"All of these were provided to us by Director Gong."

Commander Luo's expression paused.

He immediately ordered: "Commander Huang"

"Send a message to the old man now."

"fast"

"At the same time, use the radio to contact the 88th Division."

"Let's see what's going on over there."

The 11th Division Commander Huang's face also changed.

Turn around and leave quickly

Commander Luo then turned to Director Gong and asked, "Director Gong..."

"You just said that all the main forces of the Red Bandits in southwestern Fujian are concentrated in Xibei."

"We must fight a decisive battle with the 18th Army"

“So how many troops do they have now?”

“How is it deployed?”

Director Gong looked at Captain Kang

Seeing Captain Kang nod slightly

Then he pointed to the military map in the headquarters.

Said: "The Red Army in Southwest Fujian has a total of 4 main divisions"

"They are the Independent 1st Division of Liancheng, the Independent 2nd Division of Longyan, the Independent 3rd Division of Wuping, and the Red 24th Division of Shanghang."

"The three independent divisions each have about 6000 troops."

"The 24th Red Division is quite special. Apart from the three infantry regiments..."

"There is also an artillery regiment, a special forces battalion, and a Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade."

"About 9000 people"

"But after these few days of fighting..."

"Several main divisions suffered damage"

"Currently, the four main divisions in southwestern Fujian have about 10,000 people."

"Now they are plowing the fields and building a defense line in Laikeng and Xibei."

......

Everyone in the command room frowned.

Look serious

Commander Luo asked, "Director Gong..."

"Since the main force of the Red Bandits is concentrated in Shanghang"

"What's going on with Liancheng and Longyan?"

Director Gong said: "The situation of the Red Army and the National Army is different."

"The Red Army's economy is limited"

"We can't support too many main forces."

"Therefore, the Red Army implemented the policy of hiding soldiers among the people."

"There are not only main forces but also various guerrilla forces without specific organization"

"And the militia"

"Also, you should know that the Red 24th Division originated in Meishan."

"Although the Red Army in southwestern Fujian later occupied Liancheng, Shanghang, Longyan, and Wuping"

"But Li Yan, commander of the 24th Red Army Division, did not give up on the construction of Meishan."

"We intentionally left behind a regular main force of an independent regiment in Meishan."

"Plus, Meishan is an old base."

"Various guerrilla and militia groups are well-established."

"So I think the troops in Longyan and Liancheng..."

"It's the troops from the Meishan base."

The commander of the 14th Division, Commander Huo, stood up and said, "Director Gong..."

"its not right"

"Even if the troops from Longyan and Liancheng come from Meishan"

"But Meishan only has one independent regiment with regular organization."

"Even if we add the guerrillas and militias you mentioned..."

“Only a few thousand people.”

"Even the main force of the Red Bandits lacks complete weapons and equipment."

"Not to mention these local troops"

"How did they inflict heavy damage on the 88th Division and tie down the 36th and 98th Divisions?"
