Chapter 8? Chapter 5 Taking advantage of the situation
After returning home, An Yi told his wife to go to bed first, and went into the study on the second floor with Xia Jian, Du Yi, and Chen Yu to talk in secret behind closed doors.
As early as three days ago, Du Yi secretly reported the deciphered Red Army radio communication content to An Yi, and accurately judged that He Long's plan to join Xu Xiang's front was difficult to complete, and predicted that He Long was likely to sneak back to the border area of Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan. Reasons It was the He Long tribe that had been encircled and suppressed one after another, and now there are only about 1,800 people left. It is not an easy task to break through the many checkpoints of the Sichuan Army along the way. Otherwise, it is very likely that they will be surrounded in the unfamiliar territory of eastern Sichuan, or even The whole army was wiped out. After all, during the long-term battle between He Huzi and his troops and the Sichuan army, the hatred grew stronger and stronger, and it was difficult to resolve them.
This time, He Long's sudden attack on Sangzhi and Yongshun was beyond An Yi's expectation. Both counties of the Xiangxi Appeasement Office have a battalion of security forces. The continuous development of Xiangxi's economy in the past two years has also radiated to these two counties. is a mountainous county. After the construction of the Longshan Highway from Qiancheng to the junction of Sichuan and Hunan, a large amount of medicinal materials, wood, furs and coal from Sangzhi and Yongshun were continuously transported out of the originally closed areas, and high-quality and low-cost imitation fabrics, agricultural tools, and tools , daily necessities have also entered thousands of households in the two counties, and people's living standards have been greatly improved. Zhang Hongza's tax reduction and agricultural support policies have quickly eased the contradiction between the government and the people. The two counties that were originally at war , finally got two years of rest and recuperation, and now the war is igniting again, which really makes An Yi feel a headache.
Xiangxi has become Anyi Group's area of interest after southern Sichuan. Important arsenals, pharmaceutical factories, thermal power plants, mining and emerging industries are located in it. It is also one of the important military training bases of Anyi Group. If Xiangxi suffers If the attack creates chaos, Anyi Group's entire development plan will be disrupted, and no one can estimate the losses it will cause.
Although there are currently only over a thousand members of He Long's tribe left, the northwestern Hunan region is the old base of this team. He Long and his family have a good mass base and huge appeal, so it will not be difficult for him to grow again.
Xia Jian and Du Yi saw An Yi thinking silently, so they did not disturb him. Chen Yu, who had become the Major General General Affairs Director of the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters, refilled the tea for everyone. The three of them were waiting for An Yi to make a decision.
"Judging from the current situation, He Long's Department will definitely withdraw to the Qianjiang and Xianfeng areas at the junction of Sichuan and Hubei. It would be fine if they took some things, but they recklessly cut off the heads of more than a dozen local officials, which made Uncle Ji really angry. I'm afraid there will be no chance to make peace in the future. Brother Cunzhang personally led the two main divisions there. The Red Army, which was poorly equipped and defeated again and again before escaping back to western Hunan, did not dare to wipe its edge. Even at the height of He Long's ministry, It is no match for the Xiangxi Army. Only by retreating proactively can we preserve our strength.
"The problem now is that He Long will come back after leaving, and no one knows when he will come back. It is very tiring to be on guard every day, 365 days a year. It is inevitable that there will be hundreds of gaps. For this reason, Therefore, I think the best solution is to contact you first. Let's sit down and have a good talk. Let them go and fight Liu Xiang. Xia Jian, when you pass by Xiangxi, stay for a few days and have a good talk with Uncle Za. Look. Let's see if it works." An Yi still didn't want to break up.
Xia Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's difficult! Uncle Za probably won't make peace with He Huzi this time. There was a tacit understanding before and everyone was in peace with each other. Xiangxi has been secretly selling them weapons, ammunition and medicines, but this time
They did such a great job once that I wouldn't stop doing it.
"
Du Yi said: "In May of the previous year, the Red Army general Huang Gonglue beheaded his half-brother Huang Meizhuang who came to work as a lobbyist. As soon as the news came out, no one was willing to contact the Red Army. He Jian did even more extraordinary things.
Twice, he sent people to dig Huang Gonglue's ancestral grave and threw the bones of his grandfather and father into the Xiangjiang River. They are still there today.
Huang Gonglue's mother and wife were detained in Changsha. He Jian and the generals of the Hunan Army also regarded the Red Army's capture of Zhang Huizan as a mobilization of the Hunan Army.
The biggest motivation for all units to suppress the Red Army was to make everyone in the Hunan Army shout hatred and die-hard hatred.
"It was from that time on that all the armies stopped contact with the Red Army. Only Uncle Za's Xiangxi was doing better and kept communicating secretly. But this time my family members were beheaded. I'm afraid the officers and soldiers in Xiangxi will never again
They had contact with the Red Army, and if they met, it would be a life-and-death fight. Although they were said to be allies, it was difficult to persuade the angry Xiangxi soldiers.
"Well, brother, just try to send a telegram to Uncle Bei and ask him to remind Brother Cunzhi, who is leading the attack, not to make it too difficult for Sangzhi's folks. I heard that every time He Long is defeated, he must recruit soldiers from his hometown to supplement them. How many soldiers are there?
At the end of the year, there were not many adult men left in Sangzhi. The folks were very miserable but very rich.
Integrity, he hated the warlords who used to be cruel and recorded, and would rather rebel and die in battle than be oppressed. Uncle Za took charge of Xiangxi and worked hard, and finally improved the relationship and gained some popular support. If he retaliates against He Huzi and harms the villagers,
, all the hard work over the past few years has been in vain.”
An Yi agreed very much with Du Yi's opinion. He immediately wrote a message and asked Chen Yu to take it and send it to Zhang Hongza. He put away the pen and whispered to Du Yi and Xia Jian:
"Our southern Sichuan is connected to western Hunan to the east and Yunnan and Guizhou to the south. We must maintain a stable overall situation and ensure a peaceful and peaceful development environment. Therefore, we must guard against military threats from the eastern Sichuan front line. Furthermore, now the Military Commission and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek have not
Focus on fighting against Japanese aggression." Han Fu emphasized that in order to fight against foreign aggression, we must keep our country at peace. He unprecedentedly stepped up efforts to suppress the Red Army, pointing out that the Red Army must not be able to withstand it and must run, and it can only run westward.
, run towards the Hunan and Guizhou regions, and may end up running to Sichuan and Yunnan to Xikang. Therefore, we must come up with countermeasures in advance to ensure the absolute safety of our two important areas in southern Sichuan and western Hunan. You must work harder in this regard.
Use all means, even at all costs, to put an end to hidden dangers. The 24th Army is a direct line force of the Central Committee and may be transferred to the battlefield at any time. The family depends on you and the brothers of the security force and the police force.
Du Yi thought for a while and said: "Boss, my subordinates have always had an idea, but they feel that the matter is important and have not thought it through thoroughly, so they have never dared to say it. Now it seems that I need to listen to your opinion, boss."
"Come and listen, let's discuss it together. An Yi knows that there are not many things that can make Du Yi undecided, so he takes it very seriously.
Du Yi stated in detail: "Based on the current situation analysis, the areas along the two highways connecting southern Sichuan, western Hunan, and western Guizhou are likely to become the main attack targets of He Long's Red Army. After all, people pass through these two newly built Hunan-Guizhou-Sichuan highways every day.
There are a lot of supplies. We cannot and do not have the ability to station heavy troops along the way. My subordinates have been thinking about it and come up with a way, which is to secretly form a force with the help of local armed forces or local self-defense forces.
The banner "Zhanshan is King" is entrenched in the Qianjiang River and Pengchi area on the north side of the highway, harassing Liu Xiang in the "east" from time to time, making him extremely annoyed, but out of reach, in order to contain the troops in eastern Sichuan and prevent Liu Xiang from fighting.
Lord of the South
I mean, this is the same as our support for Liu Wenhui to create a tripartite force. It can also make He Long's department wary of seizing the territory along the Qianjiang and Pengshui lines, thereby erecting a safety barrier to the north of our highway traffic line.
An Yi was overjoyed: "This is a good idea! What are you worried about?"
"Worry of losing control."
Du Yi shook his head and finally expressed his concerns.
An Yi thought carefully, clenched his jaw slightly, and then asked: "Do you have a specific plan?"
Du Yi answered truthfully: "Yes, but he is not mature yet. After much deliberation, there is only one suitable leader, but my subordinates are worried that they cannot control this kid."
"Who?.
"Huang Han! Huang Han fled the Red Army due to the political movement in November last year and joined the boss. This guy was recommended by the boss and was originally working as an instructor at the military training base in western Hunan. Uncle Za thought this guy was a talent. He was also a graduate of Huangpu, so he hired him He was transferred to the security force as a major battalion commander. At the beginning of the month, he was sent to the Yongshun Security Battalion to lead troops. He wanted to train him for two years and then be transferred to the main force to train him better. But this time He Long led his troops to attack Yongshun, and this boy missed the old friendship. , instead of confronting He Long's Red Army, he lied to the superiors that the Red Army was too numerous to resist, and led his troops to evacuate Yongshun. Uncle Za was very angry, and he probably had to remove him from his post and investigate.
My brother arrived in a hurry. When he stopped at Qiancheng Airport, he talked with Uncle Za for an hour and then left. There was no time to ask him in detail. It seemed that this guy would no longer be able to live in Xiangxi, so he thought that it would be most suitable for him to implement this plan. After all, this guy I followed the Fifth Red Army Corps for two years, and all I did was drive around in the mountains all day long.
"Yellow Han"
An Yi stood up and walked slowly. The proud and arrogant square face of Huang Han, his fifth-term junior brother from Huangpu, came to his mind. He thought carefully about Huang Han's psychology at this time and felt that he still missed the Red Army and still had a strong sense of belonging.* The belief of a communist is probably deeply ingrained in his blood.
Although Huang Han escaped because of the political movement, fearing that he would die in vain, his performance was enough to show that he still had his heart and soul involved, otherwise he would not have given up this great opportunity to defeat He Long's troops and receive awards for his meritorious service, and lied about the military information and voluntarily withdrew. A big bargain for free for the Red Army brothers who came from the same family.
After thinking about it, An Yi finally made up his mind: "I think this is feasible. Huang Han's heart always belongs to the organization he once swore allegiance to. It is difficult to draw him into our camp again. Instead of doing this, it is better to make good use of him." .At this time, Huang Han was a traitor and a deserter in the eyes of the Red Army. In the eyes of the Xiangxi soldiers, he became a coward, a coward, and even a traitor! Huang Han has reached the end of his rope, and it is very suitable for him to implement your plan. He He is a smart man. He understands that this is the last chance we give him. Only by making atonement can he have a bright future. He can agree without wasting much money. Moreover, with his ability and solid foundation, as well as his long-term With his rich experience in guerrilla warfare, he is the best candidate to implement this plan.
"I will call Uncle Za later to plead for mercy, but we must not let Uncle Za know our specific plan. Just ask him to give up Huang Han and no longer hold him responsible. In addition, this plan is classified as a top secret. There are only three of us who know how to contact and use it in the future. Du Yi is solely responsible for you."
"Understood!" Du Mu replied.
"Hey! Boss, what if this guy rebels and joins the Red Army again?" Xia Jian asked worriedly.
An Yi shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, the Red Army, which is always in charge of politics, can't tolerate him. Don't worry at least for two years. As long as there are two years, it won't be a big deal where he will go. We just need to take good care of him in the past two years."
