In March 1938, the Chinese and Japanese armies assumed a decisive battle posture in Sulu.
In this battle, the Chinese army was led by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, and there were many famous generals.
Tang Enbo, Zhang Zizhong, Tian Zhennan, Guan Linzheng, Chi Fengcheng, Wang Mingzhang...the names of these people are bound to be written into the history of the Anti-Japanese War forever.
In the same month, the Military Reunification Shanghai Special Office Organization Conference was prepared to be held in Shanghai.
Meng Shaoyuan's men fighting on the front line secretly arrived in Shanghai through various channels.
Meng Shaoyuan was called a "public enemy" by the Japanese, but some also called him the "strongest agent."
And those subordinates who led various armed forces and were active behind enemy lines also formed the foundation of his group.
Shanghai fell and the battle was dispersed.
Now there is a perfect opportunity to meet again, and no one is willing to let it go easily.
Look at these guys again.
Yue Zhenchuan brought Bazhen cakes from Suzhou, Wei Yunzhe brought meat bones from Wuxi, Zhu Yanni brought salted geese from Jurong...
This place looks like an agricultural specialty conference.
When they met, everyone was in high spirits and flattered each other.
"Lao Yue, you are so fat."
"Where is it, Wei Yunzhe, I heard that you made a fortune in Wuxi?"
"You're welcome, oh, Jenny, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Oh, what are you talking about? This is called natural beauty."
"Holy crap, are these the boss's subordinates? Are they all so shameless?"
"Hey, Lao Yuan, I heard that the boss is very popular in Shanghai."
"Cough...cough..."
When he saw Yuan Zhonghe coughing repeatedly and Zhu Yanni's face darkened, Zhao Changle quickly shut up.
It would be better to offend Meng Shaoyuan than Zhu Yanni.
He is now the majestic Commander Zhu with two guns in Jintan and Jurong.
A woman armed with an arm will soon give rise to all kinds of legends.
For example, after Zhu Yanni led her detachment to Jurong, she became active in Jintan and Jurong, and organized a lot of guerrilla armed forces, which triggered various stories about her.
She has been practicing in Mount Emei since she was a child. Her master saw that there were evil spirits in the world, so he sent her down the mountain.
Why is she good at wielding two spears, and can fire at a hundred paces without missing a beat?
There is even more exaggeration. It is said that she brought seventy-two money darts. When she came down the mountain, her master said that each money dart would kill a Japanese pirate leader. When all seventy-two money darts were used up, the whole world would be destroyed. It would be peaceful.
The most outrageous thing is that I don’t know who first spread the word that all the skills of "Pan Tianhu" Meng Shaoyuan were taught to him by Zhu Yanni.
Seeing that he had said the wrong thing, Zhao Changle quickly changed the subject: "Lao Yuan, you are a local snake in Shanghai. You have to treat me tonight."
"That is, that is."
Seeing Zhu Yanni going out to pour water, Yuan Zhonghe quickly said: "Brothers, be careful what you say. I'm afraid something will happen during this meeting."
"Ah, something happened?"
"Really." Yuan Zhonghe looked towards the door and lowered his voice: "Let me tell you everything first. The boss is getting married."
"Really? With whom?"
"You know that Mrs. Rose, right? It's her."
"Oh my God."
Yue Zhenchuan took a breath of air: "This is not going to cause trouble, it's going to be a big deal. If my aunt Yanni knows about it, how can she turn Shanghai upside down?"
"Stop talking, Yanni is here."
Zhu Yanni poured the water and asked casually: "What are you talking about, so mysterious?"
"Said that after dinner in the evening, Lao Yuan invited us to go to the theater."
"Watching a show? What show?"
Ji Shuang, who likes to sing opera, didn't even think about it: "The beauty case!"
"The beauty case?"
"Well, it's about the story of Master Bao Zheng who angrily attacked the heartless Han Shimei."
"Sir Meng is here!"
At this sound, everyone immediately stood up straight.
Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office of Military Reunification, walked in accompanied by Wu Jingyi and several young people.
Shen Li and Ye Rong finally met these legendary figures.
Yue Zhenchuan, Wei Yunzhe, Zhu Yanni...
Which one is not famous?
Which one is not a thunderous hero?
"Thank you for your hard work, please sit down."
Meng Shaoyuan looked serious: "Everyone, first of all, let me convey the news that our military unified reorganization is imminent. This officer has been promoted to the chief of the military unified operations section. Everyone applauds and celebrates."
This is shameless!
Everyone like Yue Zhenchuan was smiling. The boss was still the same boss, and he hadn't changed at all.
"There is no applause. When the time comes, I will give you little shoes to wear." In front of these old subordinates, Meng Shaoyuan is always the most relaxed: "Okay, now let's report the information."
Starting from Yue Zhenchuan, each one reported in detail the situation of his own detachment.
The one with the best development is undoubtedly Zhu Yanni.
Since she arrived in Jurong with a huge sum of money, she quickly got in touch with Guo Yongbiao. For Guo Yongbiao, these money, medicinal materials, and weapons were a help in times of need.
Especially after Kong Chuanbo arrived with follow-up supplies, the armed forces behind enemy lines in Jintan, Jurong and other places began to be reorganized.
Guo Yongbiao has done a lot of work before to unite the resistance forces in the two places into a whole, but the only thing missing is substantial support from the government.
The appearance of Meng Shaoyuan quickly changed all this.
Guo Yongbiao was also a smart man and knew that Meng Shaoyuan's words had weight. Zhu Yanni and Kong Chuanbo were ordered to come. They said they came to assist him, but in fact they came to recruit these armed forces.
If a guerrilla force like this lacks support, it will be difficult to sustain it for a long time.
Therefore, Guo Yongbiao took the initiative to integrate the three battalions of the guerrilla advance column under his command into Zhu Yanni's detachment, and tried his best to insist on Zhu Yanni as the commander, himself as the deputy commander, and Kong Chuanbo as the secretary.
As a result, Zhu Yanni's detachment instantly expanded to more than 2,000 people. Among them, the three battalions of the guerrilla advance column were all regular troops before, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Zhu Yanni has a special status. Everyone knows that she is from Meng Shaoyuan, so Shanghai wants money and guns. No matter what is missing, just a telegram will be delivered in the shortest time.
For example, medicines.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the most lacking thing for the Chinese Army was medicine, but Zhu Yanni sent a telegram, and half a month later, Shanghai sent five large boxes of medicine.
Sulfa, morphine... all available.
Guo Yongbiao was a little dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to say: "After all, there is someone above that is easy to do."
Another time, Guo Yongbiao was ordered to incorporate the armed organization in Licun, Jurong. This exaggerated team of strong men owned two mortars, eight Maxims, and more than a thousand rifles. He asked for a settlement fee of 20,000 yuan.
Guo Yongbiao was uneasy and went back to report this to Zhu Yanni.
What she never expected was that Zhu Yanni said lightly: "I know."
Within two days, a check worth 30,000 yuan was handed over to Guo Yongbiao.
"These are all rich men." Guo Yongbiao sighed and said to his men: "It's done, now that we have found the big tree, we don't have to worry about anything, and we don't have to be half-hearted anymore. Just follow what the rich man does."
"Good guy." After hearing Zhu Yanni's report, Yue Zhenchuan exclaimed: "Yanni has really become Commander Zhu now, with the strength of thousands of people."
"Oh, it's just so-so." Zhu Yanni was particularly "modest": "It means I'm just a little bit lucky."
Damn it, it turns out that Meng Shao and Meng Shao are a couple. They both speak in the same tone... The same thought came to everyone's mind...
"Our main forces are now concentrated in southern Jiangsu." Meng Shaoyuan said: "In northern Jiangsu, our forces are still relatively weak. I wish Yanni a good start. The next stage of work is important, and I will dispatch a group of cadres , rushed to the front line in northern Jiangsu, worked hard to develop the armed forces."
"Director Meng." Zhu Yanni said: "In the northern Jiangsu area, the Fourth Route Army is relatively powerful. I have also dealt with them in Jintan and Jurong. In the process of development, various kinds of forces will inevitably arise. How should we deal with various problems?”
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a moment: "When we were in Wuxi, Wei Yunzhe and I also talked about this matter. We are all anti-Japanese and on the same front. My opinion is to avoid friction and support as much as possible. They We will try our best to avoid entering the controlled territory. Northern Jiangsu is so big, giving you a lot of room for development."
After saying that, he stood up and came to the map: "Currently, our Chinese and Japanese troops are hoarding troops on the front line of Xuzhou. The war is about to break out. Our strength there is almost zero. Ji Shuang."
"arrive!"
"I want you to bring a group of people and funds to front-line activities in Xuzhou. Do you have any opinions?"
"No." Ji Shuang blurted out without even thinking.
"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan was very satisfied: "We will all try to enter Xuzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha. The Japanese army's ambition is to annex the entire China. Wherever they go, we will appear."
At this point, the conversation changed: "I'm calling you back this time, firstly, to report on the work of the previous stage, and secondly, to formulate plans for the next stage. You will stay in Shanghai for a while. Taking advantage of this time... this... …Well…I have some good news to announce…”
coming.
Yuan Zhong and several others looked at each other.
Meng Shaoyuan talked about "this, that" for a long time before hesitatingly said: "This director, ah, that, is getting married..."
Zhu Yanni's face suddenly turned red.
marry?
This was too sudden, and I was not mentally prepared at all.
"This..." Meng Shaoyuan said with great difficulty: "I'm going to marry that... Cai Xuefei... then everyone..."
With a "boom", Zhu Yanni's head exploded.
The office was completely silent, and there was no festive atmosphere at all...
…
Everyone was gone.
At this critical time, no one wants to cause trouble.
Only Meng Shaoyuan and Zhu Yanni stayed.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Yanni, there's nothing I can do..."
Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down..."
Zhu Yanni smiled.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound.
A slap fell hard on Meng Shaoyuan's face!
