Although the Japanese army occupied northern Jiangsu, the resistance against Japan in northern Jiangsu never stopped for a day.
Xinghua, Suining, and Suqian were mostly in the hands of Han Delqin. Although the sun flag was flying in Yancheng and Funing, the guerrilla warfare never stopped.
More importantly, with the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army has set its next plan in Wuhan, and Han Deqin has begun to actively deploy and prepare to launch a major military operation in Suzhou.
When Meng Shaoyuan was escorted to Suqian by a platoon of soldiers, he encountered no obstacles from the Japanese along the way.
It seems that Han Delqin's life is quite comfortable.
When it comes to Chairman Han, the war of resistance is still unambiguous.
During the Battle of Xuzhou, Han Delqin's 24th Group Army was responsible for fighting on the southern front, fighting the Japanese army in Yancheng and Funing in northern Jiangsu. They fought hard to kill the enemy and blocked the enemy from east Taipei. Otherwise, Xuzhou would be attacked by the Japanese army from the north and the south.
Stationed in Suqian is the 198th Regiment of the 33rd Division.
The temporary general headquarters was located in the home of a wealthy man in Suqian. After the Japanese army entered northern Jiangsu, this rich man actively planned to surrender. Han Deqin suppressed him and confiscated his house.
"The observers are here. Welcome observers."
As soon as we entered, we saw that there were already many people.
Yishui's generals, major generals, lieutenant generals, and Meng Shaoyuan, the newly promoted major, are really nothing in this group.
Han Deqin, Chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, looked particularly energetic and enthusiastic, and personally greeted Meng Shaoyuan: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is General Xue Sixu, sent by Chief Li Zongren."
"Hello, Chief Xue." Meng Shaoyuan quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"You are Meng Shaoyuan." Xue Sixu shook hands with him: "Some time ago, I was in Xuzhou and you were in Shanghai. We controlled remotely and found out the traitor without meeting each other. We are still fascinated by this magical scene. You’re happy to talk.”
"You're welcome, Sir Xue. That's my responsibility."
"You can find out the traitor without meeting the person? What a skill, what a skill. When you are free, be sure to talk to me." Han Deqin had obviously never heard of this, and then pointed to a major general next to him and said :
"General Hou Yongsheng, Director of the Xuzhou Strategic Materials Management Office."
"Hello, Sir Hou." Meng Shaoyuan saluted again.
This guy is in the transfer department, so he is considered his enemy.
Hou Yongsheng didn't express anything in particular. He smiled and said: "I have admired the name of the observer for a long time. I am very lucky to see you today. I am very lucky."
Thank you so much for your sister.
For those of you who are in the middle school, you have to be more cautious.
There is another person, the Ninth District Administrative Inspector Li Mingyang, who is also a powerful person.
If it weren't for the fact that he was an observer in the chairman's attendant's room, Meng Shaoyuan would never have had the chance to be in the same room with these people.
Han Deqin invited them to sit down and ordered them to serve tea. He also warned them that no big deal could disturb them.
After explaining this, Han Delin, as the master, said: "You are all pillars of the party and the country. It is the glory of Suqian and the glory of Han Deqin to be able to gather in the small town of Suqian today. At present, the Japanese army is extremely arrogant in Jiangsu Province. But I can ensure that your safety here is fully guaranteed."
"That's natural." Hou Yongsheng said: "Suqian has Chairman Han's elite 198th Regiment, Suining has the powerful 701st and 702nd Regiments, and the Sulu-Anhui Border Area Guerrilla Column of the Fifth Theater defends them. Naturally, they are like an iron wall!"
Meng Shaoyuan also said: "In addition, there is also a force that is also protecting the safety of northern Jiangsu. It can rush to Suqian at any time with Chairman Han's order."
"Oh?" Han Deqin immediately became interested: "I wonder which team the observer is talking about?"
"The guerrillas commanded by Xiao Fugen."
"Xiao Fugen?" Han Deqin frowned: "Although this man comes from a rough background, he is truly anti-Japanese. It's just that I even sent him a letter of appointment, but he didn't respond at all. I can't tell if he is here. What are you thinking about?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "This is my first time meeting Chairman Han. I always thought that I couldn't come empty-handed, so I brought a meeting gift. Chairman Han, after my persuasion, Xiao Fugen is willing to accept the appointment from the Jiangsu Provincial Government!"
"What?"
Han Deqin was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed: "Are you telling the truth?"
The men and guns under Xiao Fugen were certainly important, but what Han Deqin valued more was his influence in northern Jiangsu and the tens of thousands of Qinggang disciples in northern Jiangsu.
That is a great force.
He recruited Xiao Fugen several times, but the other party never received an accurate response, but now that the observer came, he actually got the job done?
Han Deqin was overjoyed, but still a little doubtful: "Observer, how did you convince Xiao Fugen?"
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I originally wanted to tell him how much of a hero Chairman Han is, but when I thought about it, it would be too much to flatter him."
As soon as these words were said, several people had smiles on their faces.
Meng Shaoyuan then continued: "In short, it is nothing more than showing great righteousness and using small profits. In the next few days, Xiao Fugen will come in person to thank Chairman Han."
Han Deqin no longer had any doubts: "What a man who uses great righteousness and acts for small profits. This is really the only way to employ people. The Japanese are now very arrogant in northern Jiangsu, and I am ready to give them a good blow. With this person's help , that’s even more powerful than a tiger.”
"Exactly." Li Mingyang, the administrative inspector of the Ninth District, said: "The situation in northern Jiangsu is very complicated. There are one hundred thousand Japanese soldiers commanded by Chairman Han, the Fourth Route Army, this, and various guerrillas, including military commanders. A large number of armed Rangers, ah, if they can unite around the government, I think they can still beat the Japanese."
This was an introduction. As soon as Li Mingyang opened his mouth, Xue Sixu followed suit and said: "Since we talked about fighting the Japanese, I, Chairman Han, Deputy Director, and Observer Meng are all here, so we can talk about business. At the Battle of Xuzhou, we won With brilliant results, while inflicting a large number of casualties on the Japanese army, 600,000 Japanese soldiers successfully jumped out of the encirclement.
Commander Li kept a large amount of supplies from the regular army in order to plan for the war of resistance. The Sulu theater was allocated a part to the commander-in-chief, Commander-in-Chief Shen of Shandong Province was allocated a part, and the remaining half was handed over to Jiangsu. How exactly this should be distributed and how to distribute it evenly needs to be discussed by everyone. "
Li Mingyang didn't have time to think and blurted out: "Of course, everything depends on Chairman Han's wishes."
Han Deqin is cunning: "Although I am the owner, I also hold the position of chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government. However, this batch of materials does not belong to me. I am also a beneficiary. As the chairman, I can only participate in the distribution and cannot interfere with the distribution. Specifically Whoever gets more, who gets less, everything still depends on Director Xue and Director Alternate, they are the executive officers."
After speaking, he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan specifically: "As for whether the distribution is fair or not, since the committee has sent Observer Meng, then this matter will be left to Observer Meng."
This guy is really an old fox, no wonder he has been able to rise all the way up.
Of course, he will take the lion's share of the distribution of supplies on his territory. There is no doubt about this. He was happy to get out of it and enjoy the benefits without offending anyone.
As for yourself?
Meng Shaoyuan was convinced by him.
He was only appointed by Luo Liangjian, but according to Han Deqin, he was directly appointed by the chairman of the committee. With this sudden increase in power, what problems will occur in the future, and Observer Meng is still not allowed to bear a large part of the responsibility?
The problem is that what Han Deqin said is right.
Doesn’t the special observer in the chairman’s attendant’s room represent the chairman himself?
"Then, I will recommend myself." Xue Sixu spoke first: "This batch of supplies was transferred from the fifth theater. Commander Li, as the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, has the right to decide how to distribute these supplies. "
The implication is that he was appointed by Li Zongren and naturally occupies a dominant position in the distribution of materials.
"Director Xue's words are a bit biased." Hou Yongsheng said without hesitation: "The supplies were indeed transferred from the Fifth War Zone, but so many supplies were laboriously mobilized by the National Government. I was appointed by the National Government, In supervising the distribution of materials, what I represent is not myself, but the National Government."
The hat is even bigger.
"I represent both Commander Li and the National Government." Xue Sixu did not give in at all: "As the saying goes, if you are outside, you will not accept your orders. I think Commander Li still has a say in the distribution of materials, right? "
"Everyone, put aside the dispute for the moment." Han Deqin hurriedly interrupted the two of them: "After all, getting these supplies is nothing more than resisting Japan and fighting against Little Japan to the end. Whoever gets it is the same. Director Xue, What you represent is the National Government, Director-General Waiting, and you also represent the National Government. The problem is that there is only one National Government, who should listen to it?"
He said this, but he had already been calculating in his heart: "But who can truly represent the National Government? I think there is only one, the Chairman!"
Once this was said, there was no more debate.
Han Deqin smiled slightly: "Since the chairman of the committee can represent the National Government, and our observer Meng was personally sent by the committee, then he represents the committee and the National Government!"
I’ll give you a piece of your mother’s Han Deqin!
Meng Shaoyuan was so anxious that he cursed all the Subei dialect he had just learned.
What the hell are you thinking about? I represent? I cannot speak for your whole family on this.
What's this?
A murderous knife!
What is this position?
A big fire pit!
If a slight problem occurs, he will offend local forces, the Fourth Route Army, and the Central Military Commission.
He might even offend the Chairman!
You want your Master Meng to die!
"I suggest!" Han Deqin's face straightened: "A special material distribution agency will be established immediately, with Meng Shaoyuan as the material distribution specialist, and Director Xue and Director Hou as deputy commissioners."
"I'm just a major. How can I be qualified to be the commander of generals?"
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he immediately protested loudly!
