Chu Xiong's happy days in Lijiacun came to an end because of the arrival of a fast horse. It would not be a small matter for Gao Wancheng to send a signal soldier to call him back to Liu Town. The same thing that also ended his fairy days was Li Guoping. As Chu Xiong's bodyguard, Naturally, I have to go back with him.
"Lao Chu, Thomas called, and the stubborn troops in Zhongtiao Mountain suddenly turned against us and detained a batch of our supplies;
According to Thomas, this kind of situation has never happened in this passage before. They always released it after charging a certain benefit fee. This time they did not give the Goshawk Country any face. They knew it was from our Eighth Route Army, but they still forcibly detained it. "
As soon as Chu Xiong entered the brigade headquarters, Gao Wancheng briefly told Chu Xiong this important emergency situation, and then handed him the detailed telegram.
Chu Xiong carefully read the message sent by Thomas. The materials lost this time were a batch of 107mm and 40mm seamless steel pipes, a large amount of copper, and 20 latest radio stations, with a total value of up to 2 million eagle dollars. .
Since the Japanese had cut off the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway, Thomas transported this batch of supplies into the country via the Yunnan-Burma Highway and spent a lot of money on the road to secretly send them in. The price more than tripled.
That is to say, Taihang Investment Company made money, otherwise Chuxiong would not be so extravagant. Now that it is fine, it is detained by the stubborn army. How can it not make the senior leaders of the Independent Brigade angry.
Chu Xiong thought further. This had sent a signal that the second climax of the Sichuan anti-organization was coming again!
Although the Hundred Regiments War has turned into the Hundred Battalions War, the Japs and Shuzhong are much less wary of the Eighth Route Army than they were in another time and space, but as long as the Japs relax their military pressure on him a little, his evil will will be dealt with If the Eighth Route Army takes action, the dog cannot change its habit of eating shit.
Chu Xiong's face was filled with frost. Gao Wancheng, Zhong Guoliang and others who knew him well knew that he had been angered again this time.
He was not angry about this batch of supplies. Compared to the matter in southern Anhui, these supplies were not worth mentioning at all.
Those are 7,000 elites. Many of them are elites who have experienced the brutal test of three years of guerrilla war. All of them are backbones. In the future, these 7,000 people can develop an army of 70,000 or even 700,000;
They did not fall on the battlefield to fight the Japanese. Instead, they were brutally killed by their own people, and staged a tragic scene in which roommates fought against each other, and relatives hated the enemy and the enemy took pleasure in it.
Chu Xiong estimated the time and found that it was less than two months before that day...
This matter cannot be easily told to others, because it will be useless. There are not only reasons in Shuzhong, but also reasons within the New Fourth Army.
Gu Mosan and Shangguan Ji Qing used a total of 80,000 troops in this battle. It is impossible not to know based on the organization's intelligence acquisition capabilities. In fact, Yanzhou and the Eighth Route Army headquarters have warned them many times;
But Deputy Commander Xiang still believed that Shuzhong would not risk the world's disapproval to attack them, and missed too many opportunities to avoid tragedies.
Xiang is a member of the Standing Committee. He doesn't have to accept Yanzhou's opinions, so how can he listen to him, a brigade commander in Chuxiong.
The matter was so important that Chu Xiong would naturally not give up. Fortunately, there were still nearly two months left, so he still had enough time to plan carefully. The current matter was the top priority.
"Old Chu, the current relationship between the two parties is very tense. There may be a conflict at any time. You must consider carefully and don't be impulsive."
Gao Wancheng was a little worried that Chu Xiong would do something drastic and leave an excuse for the other party.
"Lao Gao, this batch of supplies is very important to us, but to the stubborn 151st Division, it is no different from scrap metal. They can neither eat it nor spend it as money.
I just thought about it, and the best way to solve this problem is to ask Zhao Sihu to come forward and make a deal with the 151st Division privately, using food or captured Japanese equipment to exchange for supplies. You can also ask for money. "
Gao Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Lao Chu was much calmer than he thought.
Chu Xiong's face has returned to normal. He did have murderous intentions towards the 151st Division before, but it only took a moment and he quickly controlled his emotions. Now is not the time to fall out with them. A little impatience will mess up a big plan!
"What, Lao Gao, are you worried that if I get angry, I will destroy the 151st Division?"
Gao Wancheng guessed Chu Xiong's thoughts, and he blushed for a rare moment. After all, he had a tendency to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, although Chu Xiong had never been a gentleman.
"Lao Gao, don't be embarrassed, your guess is quite accurate, but I did have murderous intentions, just for a moment.
The 151st Division is at least still persisting in the war of resistance. What they want is only a few supplies, and anything that can be solved with money is nothing;
They may have received hints from some thoughtful people, but judging from the fact that they only withheld supplies and did not kill anyone, they must have gone crazy because of poverty and took risks.
What the beleaguered army in Zhongtiao Mountain lacks most now is food. Under the temptation of food, Shuzhong's orders are nothing, and not being starved to death is the first priority;
This time we will change our strategy and use food to deal with the 151st Division. This quantity must be controlled well. It will be enough for them to feed them for three months. If you are willing, exchange it. If you are not willing, we would rather not have this batch of supplies. We cannot tolerate their mistakes!
Just use food to hang them up. Sooner or later they will be my food, so I will take food in advance to feed these soldiers. "
After hearing this, Gao Wancheng couldn't help but sigh:
"Sure enough, it's still the sinister Chu Xiong!"
"Old Chu, I now fully understand the reason why you are so willing to get back food regardless of the cost. In the war-torn times, food can be used to make trouble;
I will handle this matter and I will definitely find a way to exchange this batch of supplies. "
After Gao Wancheng left, Chu Xiong stayed alone in the command room to think about things. The material matter was really not enough for him to take action;
Even if you can't exchange it back, then put it in the 151st Division. Except for the 20 low-power radios that can be exchanged for some money, the other things in Zhongtiao Mountain are really no different from scrap copper and iron. In front of food, he I believe the 151st Division will make the right choice.
There can't be too much noise on the Zhongtiao Mountain side, lest it affect his Zhongtiao Mountain strategy. There's still half a year left, and then all the capital and interest will be recovered.
What troubled him was the matter in Wannan. For the sake of those seven thousand martyrs, he didn't mind killing Gu Mo three times.
He was gesticulating on the map, looking for the best plan. He wanted to rescue the New Fourth Army headquarters, but also hurt someone in Shu, and still not allow the united front to be completely destroyed. This was a test of Chu Xiong's wisdom...
"Damn, it's really nerve-wracking. It's really hard to deal with this bald guy who doesn't care about the overall situation;
The key is that Deputy Commander Xiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so how can you convince him to trust you? "
…
Chu Xiong had never had such a headache over something, and it was far less enjoyable than dealing with the Japanese.
