Predator Reborn

Chapter 343 Deployment

"Political Commissar, don't worry. This time I want to keep all the two armies of the Central Army. You know, these people are well-trained soldiers. As long as they are equipped with enough weapons and equipment, they can do

Well, their ideological work is a strong force..." As he spoke, a sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Hua's mouth. Obviously, Liu Hua must have a mature idea in his heart

.

"Okay, since you said so. Commander, just feel free to fight. If anything happens, I will take care of it with you..." Seeing the confident Liu Hua, the political commissar nodded and said affirmatively.

"Political Commissar, don't worry, there will definitely be no problems." Liu Hua nodded and said with certainty.

"Communications staff officer..." Liu Hua ordered loudly to the communications staff officer at the door.

"Report to the division commander, political commissar, what's the matter?" Soon, the communications staff officer ran to the two of them.

"Well, Staff Officer Wang, please immediately send a report to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing. He said that in two days, the independent division will begin to withdraw from the eastern and northern Shanxi areas. Please ask the Chairman to immediately send national troops to take over and prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the situation.

The base area that the soldiers had exchanged for their lives was once again taken away... Commander of the Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Hua..." Liu Hua repeated this order loudly to the communications staff officer in front of him.

"Commander, what are you..." After recording the telegram dictated by Liu Hua, the communications staff officer did not leave, but asked in disbelief.

"Commander, do you really intend to obey Chiang Kai-shek's order and hand over the base area that the soldiers have exchanged for their lives and blood?" Similarly, Luo Ronghuan, as the political commissar, also turned his head in disbelief and couldn't believe it.

asked rhetorically.

"Haha, what do you think? Am I so stupid? Besides, even if I agree, the soldiers who died will not agree. Communications staff, execute the order and send the report immediately." Liu Hua's mouth showed a trace

With a weird smile, he gave a loud order to the communications staff who was still at a loss.

"Commander Wang, follow the instructions of the division commander and send a report to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing immediately..." After listening to Liu Hua's words, the political commissar was still very worried. But when he thought of leaving Yan'an, the chairman said to himself

If so, I finally decided to firmly support my partner and see how much surprise my partner will bring to me in the end.

"Yes, division commander, political commissar." Staff Wang replied loudly, turned around and walked to the telegraph room next to him.

"Commander, what are you..." Seeing Staff Wang leaving, the political commissar asked in confusion.

"Political Commissar, if we don't make certain concessions, do you think the troops that Chiang Kai-shek arranged around us will surface? Political Commissar, don't worry, this time I will make Chiang Kai-shek lose his wife and lose his troops. When the time comes, you

Just waiting to count the spoils and accept the soldiers." Looking at the political commissar who was still worried, Liu Hua quickly comforted him.

"Accepting soldiers? Division commander, what does this mean..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked in confusion.

"Haha, political commissar, believe it or not, this time I asked the troops sent by Chiang Kai-shek to rebel on the spot after they entered our base area... and asked them all to join our Eighth Route Army." Liu Hua looked mysterious, but again

Said with certainty.

"Ah...that's it...then I'll wait and see." After hearing Liu Hua's answer, the political commissar was surprised, but his heart was finally relieved.

"Guard, ask Director Meng of the Intelligence Department to come to the headquarters immediately..." Liu Hua ordered loudly.

"Report to the division commander, political commissar, and Director of the Intelligence Division Meng Zhongheng, and we have been ordered to come and report." Soon, Meng Zhongheng, the Director of the Intelligence Division, was seen running to the headquarters.

"Director Meng, come in and sit down quickly. I came to you today to assign a task to your intelligence office." After Meng Zhongheng was in front of him, Liu Hua said seriously.

"Please give the order, commander, and the Intelligence Department will ensure that the mission is completed..." Meng Zhongheng immediately became energetic when he heard that there was a mission and said excitedly.

"Well, the situation is like this..." Liu Hua spent a full five minutes recounting the entire development of the matter.

"Commander, you mean to let our Intelligence Division find out the specific location of the Central Army and their troop deployment in the shortest possible time?" Meng Zhongheng, the intelligence division chief with strong analytical skills, immediately reacted.

"Yes, that's the mission. There is another mission, which is to let our intelligence personnel sneak into the enemy's headquarters as much as possible. Of course, my purpose is not to know the specific decisions and plans of the national army.

Instead, we need him to provide us with the specific location of the national army headquarters at any time. If we can't place it there, we can just use money to buy information." Liu Hua ordered.

"Yes, Commander, I understand. Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission. I will definitely put useful information in front of you in the shortest possible time." Intelligence Director Meng Zhongheng replied loudly.

"Well, then you can make arrangements..." Liu Hua nodded.

"Guard, immediately notify Director Qian Zhonghua of the Security Department to come to the headquarters." Looking at Meng Zhongheng leaving, Liu Hua ordered loudly to the guard at the entrance of the headquarters.

Soon, Qian Zhonghua hurried to the headquarters after receiving the order.

"Director Qian, our independent division security office has been established for more than a year. I would like to ask if you know about the Kuomintang intelligence organization hidden in our base area. It is also the underground intelligence organization of the Kuomintang military command..."

Liu Hua asked after Qian Zhonghua drank a large glass of cold water.

"Commander, I know this. Since this is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, as long as he does not interfere with the actions of our army, we will not touch him much..." Qian Zhonghua nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, that's good. In this case, Director Qian, I will give you two more days to find out in more detail all the intelligence personnel deployed by the Kuomintang in our base area. After two days, request the third regiment of the Guard Brigade to cooperate and

All the intelligence organization personnel were arrested by me. They were all temporarily detained by me. Remember, try not to hurt anyone." Liu Hua ordered loudly.

"Yes, Commander, I promise to follow the clues and wipe out the Kuomintang's intelligence organization. Don't worry!" After listening to Liu Hua's order, Qian Zhonghua replied loudly with excitement on his face.

"Okay, go ahead and do it..." Liu Hua nodded.

"Political Commissar, you and the Chief of Staff need to assist in the next thing." Looking at Qian Zhonghua leaving, Liu Hua turned his attention to the political commissar beside him.

"Um, division commander, what's your mission?" the political commissar quickly sat over and asked.

"Immediately take a regiment of the security brigade to the Xiyang area in the first division and guide the local people to retreat. We require that these Central Army troops cannot leave a grain of food. Let them enter our base area and ask for water and food.

There is no food. The chief of staff led the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade into the Gaoping area to assist the Second Division in evacuating the people. I ask you to evacuate all the people in the two areas within two days." Liu Hua ordered loudly.

"Commander, don't worry. If nothing else, the people in the base area are quite supportive of our independent division, and they will definitely cooperate. Don't worry about this..." After listening to Liu Hua's order,

Chief of Staff Li Qing replied confidently.

At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, was once again awakened by his adjutant within a few hours of returning to his official residence.

"Reporting to the committee, the Chief of Staff, Minister He, and Commander-in-Chief Chen are waiting for you in the conference room. There are important things to report." Looking at Chiang Kai-shek who opened his eyes, the attendant said quickly.

"Mother Xipi, what's the matter? I can't even sleep well..." Chiang Kai-shek sighed, and with the help of the attendant, he put on a coat and went to the small conference room next to the bedroom.

Go.

"Jingzhi, Ci Xiu, Jiansheng, what happened, you are so anxious..." Seeing the three people already waiting in the conference room, Chiang Kai-shek said dissatisfied.

"The committee report is still a matter for the Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army. This is a telegram we have just received from the Independent Division. The telegram said that they will withdraw from the base area in two days and require our Central Army to advance eastward and northward immediately and take over at any time.

They evacuated the base area to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of it and losing the base area that the soldiers had exchanged for their lives." He Yingqin handed the telegram in his hand to Chiang Kai-shek and reported in a low voice.

"What, the Independent Division requested to voluntarily withdraw from the base area. How is it possible, according to the habits of the Communist Party, that it is so easy to spit out the things you get?" After hearing He Yingqin's answer, Chiang Kai-shek asked in disbelief.

"Forget it, Jiansheng, you originally proposed this idea. What do you think of this telegram from the Independent Division?" Seeing what He Yingqin wanted to explain, Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and asked Bai Chongxi behind him.

"Commissioned, there are only two situations when the independent divisions voluntarily withdraw from their base areas. One is that they really want to unite the front and do not want to have trouble with our national army, so they actively request to withdraw from their base areas. The other aspect is that there are

What kind of conspiracy?" Bai Chongxi analyzed without any tone.

"Well, Jiansheng's analysis is very thorough, but I still prefer the second possibility. Jiansheng, if it is really the second possibility, what conspiracy does the independent division have, and what should we do?" Chiang Kai-shek nodded and agreed with Bai Chongxi.

suggestions.

"Commissioner, I think that no matter whether the Independent Division has any conspiracy or not, we don't need to be afraid. After all, the troops of our two armies are there. Could it be that the Independent Division risked the disapproval of the world and opened fire on the national army? If so.

, not only ruined the image of the Independent Division, but at the same time, the image of the entire Eighth Route Army will be ruined by him. More importantly, no matter what, the base areas of the Independent Division have been occupied by our Central Army." Bai Chongxi didn't care.

said.

"Okay, Jiansheng's analysis is very reasonable. Please call back to the Independent Division immediately and tell them that the troops of the two armies of the Central Army are advancing towards the Eighth Route Army base area and will definitely reach the edge of the base area within two days." Chiang Kai-shek.

He nodded with satisfaction and ordered loudly to He Yingqin beside him.

"Yes, Chairman..." He Yingqin readily agreed.

"Cixiu, Jiansheng, you two are specifically responsible for the coordination of these two armies. You must ensure that these two armies safely occupy the base areas where the independent division has withdrawn." Chiang Kai-shek then ordered.

Two days passed quickly. As the armies of Zhu Huaibing and Shi Yousan began to take action, the movements of the two armies were immediately clearly investigated by the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division. At the same time, Meng Zhongheng followed Liu Hua's instructions.

He spent a lot of money to buy a staff officer at the headquarters of the two armies to provide him with the location of the headquarters of the two armies at any time.

"Reporting to the division commander, Meng Zhongheng, director of the intelligence department, came to report." After receiving the specific situation of the two armies, Meng Zhongheng came to the headquarters as soon as possible and reported to the division commander Liu Hua.

"Um, Director Meng, have you investigated clearly?" Liu Hua asked excitedly when he saw Meng Zhongheng.

"Yes, division commander, it has been confirmed by intelligence personnel from various places that there are two armies of the Kuomintang attacking our base area. They are Zhu Huaibing's army and Shiyou's army. The two armies total six divisions with more than 40,000 troops. According to reconnaissance,

Currently, 20,000 people from Zhu Huaibing's tribe are stationed in the Gaohongkou area south of Gaoping, and 20,000 people from Shiyou's Third Division are stationed in the Nanling area south of Xiyang, hiding and waiting." Meng Zhongheng introduced.

"What, you mean the army of Zhu Huaibing and Shi Yousan..." After hearing Meng Zhongheng's words, Liu Hua was full of surprise. Because he was familiar with the history of the party and knew very well that in the first counter-revolution launched by the Kuomintang during the War of Resistance Against Japan,

The two of them were simply executioners, and no fewer than thousands of revolutionary comrades died in their hands.

"Yes, division commander, they are the troops of their two armies." Meng Zhongheng nodded and said.

"Haha, since they are two counter-revolutionaries, I will be even less polite. Director Meng, I already know the situation, but your intelligence department must pay attention to the movements of the two armies at all times, especially their army.

The movements of the headquarters. Any movement of the military headquarters of the two armies must be reported to me as soon as possible." Hearing Meng Zhongheng's affirmative answer, Liu Hua had a cold smile on his lips and ordered loudly.

"Yes, teacher..."

Knowing the specific locations of the two armies of the Central Army, Liu Hua's action began. After ordering the security office to start closing the net, the captain of the special operations brigade Liu Xiaogang came to the independent division headquarters.

"Sir, do you have any mission?" Seeing Liu Hua, Liu Xiaogang didn't have any worries and sat directly in front of Liu Hua and asked.

"Well, there is an important mission that needs to be completed by your special operations group. However, this mission is very important and is related to the future of our independent division. So, no matter what, we can only succeed and cannot fail." Seeing what has happened in front of you,

Liu Hua, a much more mature Liu Xiaogang, ordered seriously.

"Commander, don't worry. Without a mission, the special operations brigade cannot complete it. Just assign the mission!" After listening to the commander's words, Liu Xiaogang also knew the seriousness of the matter and replied confidently.

"Okay, very good. The specific mission is this. You divide your special operations brigade into two, and then..." After about half an hour of arrangement and explanation, Liu Xiaogang finally understood the seriousness of this mission.

The face that was smiling just now has already become serious.

"Captain Liu, how are you? Do you have the confidence to complete this task..." Liu Hua asked after seeing Liu Xiaogang with a serious face.

"Division commander, don't worry. The special operations brigade will ensure the completion of the mission. Besides, almost every village in the base area has tunnels. I can say with certainty that as long as the headquarters of the two armies are set up in any village in the base area,

Our special operations team can easily eliminate his headquarters." After listening to the division commander's arrangements, Liu Xiaogang replied with confidence.

"Well, I have never doubted the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade. But the most important thing about this mission is to keep it secret. If the Kuomintang seizes any evidence about this matter, it will not only be our independent division, but also the entire Eighth Route Army.

It will lead to bad luck. Therefore, the confidentiality work must be done for me." Liu Hua nodded and continued to give instructions.

"Yes, division commander, I understand. Don't worry, the special operations brigade guarantees to complete the mission." Liu Xiaogang replied affirmatively.

"Okay, then go down and prepare..." Liu Hua nodded.

Looking at Liu Xiaogang leaving, Liu Hua also started to take action. Leading the three regiments of the independent division's rapid response brigade and the cavalry regiment, he advanced towards his first target, the Xiyang area. Just as Liu Hua led the troops

While quickly advancing towards the Xiyang Jin Army, the Central Army's Three Comrade Divisions also followed the soldiers' retreat route and slowly penetrated deep into the independent division's base area.

However, after two days of evacuation, the entire base area was almost deserted. After a day's march, more than 20,000 people from the entire Third Division of Stone Friends had traveled a full 60 miles, but not a single person was seen.

Ordinary people. Even all the villages we passed along the way were deserted, not even a soul could be seen.

"Commander, what kind of shabby place is this? I've been walking for a whole day, and I haven't even seen a single person. Could it be that the people here all evacuated with the Eighth Route Army." Looking at the tired troops, riding on the war horse

The deputy commander asked Shi Yousan.

"You ask me who I am asking. I thought this was a good job, but I didn't expect that I would end up in such a useless place. Deputy Commander, how far have the troops marched today? Shouldn't it be time to stop and camp?

"Shi Yousan also shook his head, looked at the sun that was about to set, and asked the deputy commander beside him.

"Commander, we have traveled more than sixty miles. There is a village in front of us. I think we will arrange the military headquarters in the village and the troops will camp on the spot..." the deputy commander nodded and asked.

"Okay, order the troops to camp in the village in front. After finally entering the Eighth Route Army's base area, we can finally have a good night's rest and no longer worry about the Japanese sneak attacks." Shi Yousan did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement. However,

, he didn’t know that just as the military headquarters was stationed in this village, a staff officer from Junbu quietly informed a liaison officer of the independent division about this situation.
