The "Jinghong" action team Wannan and his party were like a sudden appearance, coming and going in a hurry, leaving only painful memories of raining rain in the sky for the Japanese.
For Chu Xiong personally, his position as brigade commander was suspended, which gave him enough face to the president, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He happened to want to go to Yanzhou as well.
When returning, since there is no need to carry two more Wei Shen cannons and artillery shells, the burden on the action team is much lighter;
Each person only carries his own equipment and about 20 days of food, so the marching speed is greatly increased;
It is about 1,200 kilometers from Huaixi to Yanzhou. It took the action team 22 days to arrive successfully, which is a bit like a three-stage trial.
"Do you smoke? You, Chu Xiong, brought this pack of cigarettes here. I'm borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
After saying that, he naturally gave Chu Xiong a cigarette, and Chu Xiong took it with ease. He didn't usually smoke, but he thought this cigarette was too precious, so he had to get one.
It could be seen at a glance that Chu Xiong didn't know how to smoke, and his tactic of catching cigarettes was too clumsy, but he didn't point it out;
Instead, he casually takes out a box of matches from his pocket, takes out a stick and strikes it coolly, and the fire is on fire. This is the old smoker.
After the fire started, he held it together with his other hand to block the wind, and then handed it to Chu Xiong;
Chu Xiong put the cigarette in his mouth, moved closer to his wind-covered hands, and lit the cigarette.
He took a sharp breath and coughed loudly, which caused the three people in the room to burst into laughter. Chu Xiong also smiled awkwardly, and his nervous mood immediately calmed down;
Chu Xiong explained stiffly:
"The devil's smoke is really bad!"
"Chu Xiong, I heard that you are a rich man who likes to fight Japanese devils!
This style is great, I won’t have to worry about having to smoke anymore. "
"This time in Sunset Ridge, the New Fourth Army captured a lot. Political Commissar Xiang wanted to give me a reward, so I asked for a few cigarettes. A smoker has no cigarettes, just like a soldier has no bullets;
How does this work? We are still waiting for you to lead us to drive the Japanese out of China. How can we not have bullets? "
Blow out a nice smoke ring, this is the difference between two knives like Smoking Gun and Mengxiong.
Chu Xiong took a deep breath unconvinced, and then stubbornly blew out smoke rings one by one.
Looking at Chu Xiong appreciatively, it was like watching a naughty child quarrel with an adult. The doting on him was self-evident. He liked people with true temperaments.
"Chu Xiong, you have made great achievements in southern Anhui this time, and I also removed your brigade commander. To be honest, are you feeling emotional?"
After the atmosphere was heated up, they finally started talking about business. Chu Xiong stood up and said:
"Recently, the little Japs have been mobilizing troops and generals, and there has been a lot of excitement. The old Japs Xiao Zhuoyinan has spread the word that he wants to avenge the Hundred Battalions War. I think his intention to attack the East and the West is more obvious;
The little devil is obviously a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. Zhongtiao Mountain is about to be in disaster. He still has Yaxing to gather 80,000 troops to deal with our New Fourth Army. "
Although Chu Xiong's words were not obvious, they also pointed out his deep understanding of Yanzhou.
But being able to see so thoroughly still filled him with surprises. This doll's strategic vision was on the same track as his;
Thousands of armies are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. Since Commander Lin went to the Black Bear Country to heal his wounds, he finally got another war-god-level general. He also has a high strategic vision. He can not only fight, but also talk about politics and grasp the base area. The construction is not inferior to Commander Nie, how can this not surprise him.
"Chu Xiong, tell me what you think!"
Chu Xiong understood the idea and saw him take a deep breath of cigarette, then put the butt of the cigarette that was only a few burnt out into the ashtray, and then said:
"Making off my brigade commander not only gives the president face, but also puts the Japanese at ease;
When they attacked Zhongtiao Mountain, they were still very afraid of the Independent Brigade. Our defense area was too close to Zhongtiao Mountain, and they had suffered a lot from the Independent Brigade before.
I, the brigade commander, have been withdrawn. If it is reported that the commanders of the independent brigade have great emotions towards Yanzhou and are leaderless and scattered, the Japanese will feel a lot more at ease.
Let the Japs free their hands and feet to advance the Zhongtiao Mountain offensive, while I am here to build plank roads openly and secretly visit Chencang. On the surface, I am studying in Yanzhou, but in fact I have returned to Liuzhen covertly. We have planned the Zhongtiao Mountain strategy for a long time. put into action!
I am confident that the Japanese will not be able to steal the chicken but lose the rice. I can also take advantage of the situation to capture Zhongtiao Mountain and recruit tens of thousands of elite veterans. "
Chu Xiong made no secret of his ambition for Zhongtiao Mountain. As long as Zhongtiao Mountain was captured, the Eighth Route Army would have the capital to compete in the world, and it would be in an invincible position against Zhongcai.
“Chu Xiong, since you have confidence, then we have confidence, you just need to advance the Zhongtiao Mountain strategy as planned, and leave the rest to us;
Zhongtiao Mountain is a good place. If Zhongtiao Mountain is captured, the Eighth Route Army's living space will be guaranteed, and Yanzhou will become the real rear area.
If the Japs were allowed to get Zhongtiao Mountain, not only would the Eighth Route Army in Hedong be surrounded by the Japs on all sides, but Yanzhou would also be threatened by them;
Whether it is to attack the enemy or protect ourselves, Zhongtiao Mountain must be in our hands!
In the past, the Central Army occupied it, and for the sake of the overall situation of the war of resistance, we did not dare to have other ideas;
If the Japanese took over, it would be different. The Eighth Route Army would be duty-bound to regain the country! "
Seeing that No. 5 had made up his mind, he added:
"Sing a full set of operas and operas. Now that Chu Xiong is here, he still needs to participate in the rectification of his style;
Kangda also went to show his face, and Chu Xiong complained as much as he should, and then we locked him up to reflect on his mistakes;
There are also some discordant voices from the Independence Brigade..."
When it comes to engaging in enemy work, No. 5 is at the ancestral level. The matter on Zhongtiao Mountain has been settled. Just when Chu Xiong thought he could leave
"Chu Xiong, what do you think of the current changing world situation?"
Chu Xiong was confused on the spot. Such a big strategic issue should not be discussed with a brigade commander like him;
"It doesn't matter. Speak boldly. Our Tiger of China is not a timid person. The three of us should listen to your advice and listen to it."
