He Gang said: Chen Shizhang, it's not that I look down on you, let's take a look at the combat effectiveness of your 13th Division. If your 13th Division is a useless burden, no matter how wise and clever my plans are, they will be of no use. Jiang Zhifei cursed in his heart, thinking: "Damn He Gang, you're so sinister, what kind of despicable trick can't you think of?" Chen Gang immediately stood up and said: "What? Do you really think that my 13th Division is a bunch of soft eggs?" He Gang said: "Chen Shizhang, please don't misunderstand me, I just want to see the combat effectiveness of your 13th Division." Chen Gang said with disdain: "Fine, anyway, my 13th Division has already lost face, now I'm not afraid to lose face again." Chen Gang stood up and said: "You two, follow me." The three men walked out of Chen Gang's office. Chen Gang shouted loudly: "Come here!" Two soldiers rushed over and said: "Sir, what are your orders?" Chen Gang bellowed: "Immediately notify the communications officer to inform all units in the division to assemble urgently! Order all scattered troops to return quickly! If anyone dares to slack off or delay military affairs, they will be severely punished by military law, no matter who it is!"
Jiang Zhi said, "It seems that this Chen Gang is still quite capable. Once he gets angry, he's really a bit intimidating." Jiang Zhi asked, "How far are your scattered troops from the division headquarters?" Chen Gang replied, "The farthest one is the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, which is about 50 kilometers away from my division headquarters." He Gang said, "In that case, they won't be able to arrive until tomorrow noon at the earliest." Chen Gang said, "It won't take that long. The regimental level has radios, only the battalion and company levels don't have radios. We can use the radio to notify the regimental level, and then each regiment will notify its subordinate battalions and companies. The orders will be transmitted quickly to all troops in the division. They'll arrive at the division headquarters by tonight at the latest." Jiang Zhi said, "That's for the best. However, Commander Chen, shouldn't you inform the military department about this? Otherwise, if the military department finds out, they might blame you, and you won't be able to bear the consequences." He Gang said, "I'm telling you, Jiang Zhi, what's with all your nonsense? Who is Commander Chen? How could the military department possibly blame him?" Jiang Zhi also cursed loudly, "Damn it, He Gang, who are you cursing at? I'm just thinking about Commander Chen's well-being!" Chen Gang smiled and said, "I'm telling you two, what's going on with you both? Why do you always start cursing each other out?" He Gang said, "Jiang Zhi deserves to be cursed." Jiang Zhi said, "You don't understand anything. I'm just thinking about Commander Chen's good." Chen Gang said, "Both of you stop arguing. This time, I'll take the initiative and act first. If we can really defeat the enemy and make them flee in disarray, I think no one will dare look down on me and my 13th Division again."
He Gang said, "Not bad, this is the real hero and great general." Chen Gang said, "The two of you are not as good as my 13th Division's headquarters. Today I'll invite you to lunch, don't know if you'll give me face." He Gang smiled and said, "Alright, today we'll thoroughly enjoy ourselves at Chen Shang's expense. But I have one condition: Chen Shang, you can't be stingy, whatever good food and drink there is, bring it out."
Jiang Zhi Fei said, "Chen Shang, did you see that this little guy is a gluttonous cat, he only knows how to eat well." He Gang smiled and said, "Jiang Zhi Fei, you're really an idiot. If you don't even know how to enjoy good food, then you're truly a useless piece of crap."
He Gang finished speaking and the three of them burst out laughing.
Chen Gang said, "Today we can eat as much as we want, but we mustn't drink too much wine, lest we make mistakes." Jiang Zhi Fei said, "Alright, Chen Shang, we'll listen to you. Let's keep things brief and not waste words."
The three of them ate lunch and quietly waited for the 13th Division's troops to return. By four o'clock in the afternoon, all the troops directly under the 13th Division had returned one after another. They waited for another half hour, and finally, everyone from the 13th Division had arrived.
He was taken aback, he didn't think the troops of the 13th Division would move so quickly. Chen Gang had said that the farthest unit from the division headquarters was 50 kilometers away, and at their current pace, they could march 60 kilometers a day. This speed was almost unheard of for other Nationalist armies at the time. It seemed that just by looking at the rapid marching speed of the 13th Division, one could tell that it still had considerable combat strength.
Chen Gang said: "Gentlemen, how is the marching speed of our 13th Division?" Smiling, he said: "Not bad, we really didn't expect your marching speed to be so fast." Chen Gang said: "Since that's the case, please take a look at the marksmanship of my 13th Division soldiers. Jiang Battalion Commander and He Political Commissar, you two can choose one hundred soldiers at random and see how they shoot."
Jiang Zhi Fei nodded and said: "Alright, I won't be polite about it." Then Jiang Zhi Fei personally selected one hundred very young soldiers because he knew that the younger the soldiers were, the shorter their time in service would be, and the less training they would have received. This way, he could better test the combat strength of the 13th Division.
Chen Gang immediately ordered the preparation of a hundred targets. The soldiers adopted various postures to shoot, sometimes kneeling, sometimes lying on the ground, and sometimes standing. Their movements were extremely agile when operating their guns. Not only were they fast, but their postures were also elegant. More importantly, their hit rate was quite high, reaching 70%. Although it couldn't be said that every shot hit its mark, their accuracy was still impressive. It wasn't easy for such young soldiers to achieve this level of proficiency.
He Gang applauded and praised them, saying: "Chen Shizhang, your 13th Division's combat strength is formidable!" Chen Gang smiled humbly, saying: "It's nothing, just a small trick. Compared to your Flying Tiger Cavalry Team, we're far inferior." Jiang Zhifei laughed and said: "Chen Shizhang is being too modest. From their performance, the 13th Division's combat strength is indeed very strong. As long as you, the division commander, are well-versed in military strategy and tactics, I think the 13th Division's future achievements will be immeasurable."
He Gang said: I'm saying that Jiang Zhi Fei, are you praising or mocking Chen Shilang? If what you say is true, then the defeat of our 13th division must be due to Chen Shilang's incompetence and poor command. Jiang Zhi Fei scolded loudly: "You damn He Gang, don't try to sow discord! Chen Shilang, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, he's got a belly full of evil intentions!" Chen Gang smiled and said: "I think you two are quite the pair, always cursing at each other. Actually, after our 13th division suffered consecutive defeats in battle, I made a vow to train an elite force with top-notch fighting skills. No matter what, I had to raise the combat effectiveness of our division! As the saying goes, 'a man has face, a tree has bark', I, Chen Gang, absolutely cannot tolerate others laughing at my 13th division!" From then on, I began strict training for the troops. If any unit didn't train well, I would whip their officers, and they would in turn whip their soldiers. So, you could say that our achievements today were all whipped into shape by me! Jiang Zhi Fei said: "Chen Shilang, I understand your good intentions, but please don't whip the soldiers again from now on. It's easy to chill their hearts, and although military discipline must be strict, it must also be balanced with kindness. If we shake the army's morale, the consequences will be unbearable!" He Gang smiled and said: "Alright, alright, let's get back on track! Next, I'll explain our battle deployment in detail. This Yamamoto Isoroku is no ordinary person - he studied in Germany and is a cunning and meticulous military strategist. Since he has already completed his 'Death God Plan', he won't easily let others disrupt it. If my guess is correct, Yamamoto will launch a fierce attack on the 11th division, our 8th Route Army Independent Regiment, and the 343rd regiment within the encirclement. He'll concentrate all his firepower to bombard our positions wildly, and those little devils might even send planes to assist! If that's the case, our troops within the encirclement will suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, Yamamoto won't give us any chance to catch our breath, so this battle will be extremely brutal!"
Chen Gang nodded frequently and said, "That's right, you tell us what to do." He Guang nodded and said, "Okay, Yamamoto not only wants to completely eliminate the surrounded Chinese army but also prevent other friendly forces from coming to reinforce. In short, the little devils will stop at nothing to block the reinforcement of friendly forces. So first, our speed must be fast, and second, our actions must be covert." Chen Gang said, "If we want to increase our speed, our troops must march day and night." He Guang said, "We must accelerate under the premise of good concealment; otherwise, everything is in vain. We can only rely on surprise attacks to thoroughly defeat the Japanese army. First, we need to quietly approach the Japanese army's position without being detected, and then launch a sudden attack. This is the only way to defeat the Japanese army at once." To achieve this surprise effect, we must hide during the day and march quickly at night. If we march quickly during the day, we will be discovered by the little devils' reconnaissance planes. Once they discover our troops, they will assemble aircraft to bombard us recklessly. By then, even before we arrive in Qingzhou, our troops will have suffered heavy casualties. How can we fight a decisive battle with the little devils afterwards? You must send out small teams in advance to scout the terrain and notify the following troops of places where large forces can be hidden. If one place cannot hide so many people, you can divide them into several or even dozens of places to hide. In short, you must hide well and never expose your target.
Jiang Zhi said: "Chen Shizhang, your 13th Division will launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army's position from the east. But before that, you must issue a strict order to all regimental and battalion commanders, even company commanders, to set an example and not be lazy. If anyone dares to slack off and miss the opportunity, they will be executed on the spot. In other words, you must arrive in Qingzhou within four days. As long as you can sneak up on the Japanese army's position without being detected, I believe we can definitely beat them until they cry out for their parents. But the premise is that you must approach the Japanese army's position quietly and stealthily. If you can't do this, everything else is just empty talk."
He Gang said: "Our Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment will approach from the west. As soon as we arrive at the Japanese army's position, we will immediately launch a pincer attack on the Japanese army from both east and west. This is the only way to thoroughly defeat the Japanese army. I still want to remind Chen Shizhang that you must strictly supervise all regimental and battalion commanders and let them strictly discipline their subordinates. Only in this way can we hide our troops well."
Chen Gang said: "Don't worry, He Zhengwei, I will definitely strictly supervise the troops and try not to make any mistakes. This time, I am going all out. If we don't succeed in this battle, I will be willing to die for it." He Gang nodded and said: "As soon as you arrive in Qingzhou, immediately gather your troops together and do not take any action without authorization, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties. Our Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment and your division will work together, launching a pincer attack on the Japanese army from both east and west, trying to defeat them quickly and make them cry out for their parents."
