When the Chief of Staff of the 93rd Army saw the lieutenant general, his arrogance immediately calmed down a bit. When he saw that it was not Luo Weimin, he said with an unkind expression:
"May I ask what your name is, brother?"
"Zhang Yu, Commander of the New 9th Division, may I ask what you want from our Army Commander?"
When Liu Wanlin saw that he had finally reached a higher level, he said it was past his fault. He saluted Zhang Yu and said:
"It turns out to be Commander Zhang, our 93rd Army Chief of Staff Liu Wanlin. Could you please inform me that our Army Commander sent me over to ask for a meeting with Commander Luo."
Although Liu Wanlin looked down on Luo Weimin, he was a serious military commander and no longer a brigade commander under the 93rd Army. In front of a small company commander, he could call Luo Weimin by his first name, but in front of a lieutenant general and division commander, he could Still need to be more restrained.
Liu Wanlin reported his name, so Zhang Yu couldn't care about it anymore. We were all members of the Central Army, so we still had to have some superficial things.
Zhang Yu returned the gift and said:
"It turns out to be Chief of Staff Liu, sorry, please!"
The reason why Liu Wanlin came so angrily was that he sent a regiment to attack the front station and wanted to return to the original defense area, but was blocked by the 9th Division's river defense regiment.
Liu Wanlin snorted lightly and accompanied Zhang Yu all the way to the headquarters of the New 93rd Army. Luo Weimin came out to greet him. After all, he was an old leader.
"Chief of Staff Liu, I'm very sorry. Brother, I didn't know that you were coming to visit me. I didn't expect you to be welcomed from afar, but I still hope to see you."
Luo Weimin greeted Liu Wanlin very enthusiastically, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man. Liu Wanlin could only suppress his displeasure and followed Luo Weimin into the headquarters.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Liu Wanlin began to ask questions:
"Commander Luo, what do you mean? Send troops to guard the ferry and prevent our 93rd Army from returning to the defense area. Who gave you the right?
In addition, many of our brothers in the 93rd Army were taken in by your army. Now that the Japanese have been driven away, can these brothers be allowed to return to the army? "
After hearing this, Luo Weimin said to himself:
"After the battle was over, the Japanese retreated faster than anyone else while they were there. After leaving their brigade broken, Commander Liu promised to allow their brigade to collect the broken troops;
It's better now. Without the military pressure from the Japanese, they will come back to pick up the peaches! "
Luo Weimin was also very familiar with the urinal behavior of the Central Army. If it weren't for the fact that Commander Liu Can killed thousands of Japs at Xinkou, he would not be so polite to Liu Wanlin.
"Deputy Commander Lin, show the Zhongcai's warrant to Chief of Staff Liu. It's not that brothers don't let the old officers return to the defense area, but that brothers have the responsibility to defend the territory. Zhongtiao Mountain Defense Area, Zhongcai has been assigned to the New 93rd Army and The 78th Army has been formed, and the group of defeated troops that have been gathered together has also agreed to be replenished into the New 93rd Army, so I forgive my brother for not being able to obey."
Liu Wanlin took the order dubiously and saw that it was indeed the case. However, it was wartime at that time, and Zhong Cai wanted the New 93rd Army and the 78th Army to use their full strength, so he agreed to assign the Zhongtiao Mountain defense area to the New 93rd Army and the 78th Army after the war. military.
Now that Zhongcai has regretted it, he has acquiesced in allowing troops like the 93rd Army to return to Zhongtiao Mountain. He still does not believe that Luo Weimin and Zhao Sihu dare to offend these people.
Liu Kan was a famous general in the Huangpu period. During the fourth siege of the Soviet area in 1932, his right eye was shot by a stray bullet, so he had his right eye removed and fitted with a prosthetic eye, so he was known as the "One-eyed General".
During the 33rd Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, Commander Liu led the 83rd German Armament Division to fight fiercely with the Japanese for half a month in 372 Highlands, 425 Highlands, Chetou Valley, Shangbaozi, Bijiashan, Xiangshui Valley and other places, resulting in heavy casualties. During the most difficult period, he even sent sanitary soldiers and cooks to other places. The soldiers were all organized and went into battle, and they were famous young warriors.
His qualifications are not comparable to those of Luo Weimin, his younger brother from Huangpu Elementary School. Zhongcai is deliberately causing harm. He does not believe that Luo Weimin, who was the brigade commander of the 93rd Army a few months ago, dares to say "no" to the old army commander.
When Liu Wanlin saw Luo Weimin carrying Shang Fang's sword, he knew that it would be difficult to complete the task relying on his reputation, so he could only ask the army commander to come forward in person.
"Commander Luo, this is a big matter and brothers can't make the decision, because we have also received an order from Zhong Cai to return to the defense area. I need to go back and ask Commander Liu for instructions;
You know Commander Liu's temper. Do you want to think about it again? It won't be so easy to talk when Commander Liu comes. "
"Chief of Staff Liu, I'm very sorry. My brothers have military orders and have the responsibility to defend the country. I hope you can be considerate."
Luo Weimin pushed back without mercy. He was now the lieutenant general of the New 93rd Army, not the original commander of the 315th Brigade. Commander Liu was not easy to use.
Favors are favors, and steel knives are steel knives. The western part of Zhongtiao Mountain has been assigned to the New 93rd Military Defense Area, and it is not good for anyone to come.
After Liu Wanlin left, Luo Weimin reported the new situation to Chu Xiong in Liu Town.
Gao Wancheng was very angry after reading it and said angrily:
"This must be Zhongcai behind the scenes. When the New 93rd Army and the 78th Army were needed, they made all kinds of promises and made big pie. Now that the Japanese have withdrawn, they immediately fall out. Does he still have any integrity?"
Otherwise, Gao Wancheng is still young, and he still thinks that he can be honest?
Chu Xiong shook his head and said:
"Lao Gao, if he wants to be honest, even a sow will climb a tree! The last one, Zhang Xiaoliu, who believed in his integrity, sent him back to Shu, and then he was put under house arrest.
They are sworn brothers, and the deputy commander will let him go as soon as he says it, let alone others! "
"Lao Chu, how should we deal with this matter of the 93rd Army now? Lao Luo is still waiting for a reply."
Chu Xiong thought for a while and said:
"This one-eyed general is very desperate in fighting the Japanese. It is probably not his original intention to return to Zhongtiao Mountain. The bustling world is all for profit, and the bustle in the world is for gain.
To deal with these central forces, either fight them back or give them some benefits.
The 93rd Army and Commander Liu are both troops that really fight against the Japanese. It is better not to fight against such troops for the time being and let the Japanese take advantage of them;
Soldiers first, then courtesy, let Luo Weimin show off his muscles properly, and then give them some benefits. Give them some captured Japanese field guns, light weapons, etc., as well as food. As long as they don't come to cause trouble, give them to them. Some.
In addition, some news was released, saying that Luo Weimin was very disappointed with Shuzhong and showed signs of moving closer to the Eighth Route Army, and warned him not to have any evil intentions towards the New 93rd Army and the 78th Army!
Lao Gao, we don’t have the energy to accompany him to internal conflicts now. The Zhongtiao Mountain area must step up its integration and implement rent and interest reductions throughout the region. Local governments and militia companies must be built. Let’s change the name. The county is called a security corps and the towns have security guards. A security company or platoon is set up in a village, and it is said to the outside world that it is a militia organization.
According to insider information, the old Japanese soldier from the North China Front, Okamura, is carrying out a campaign to strengthen public security. He implements the three no policy in the security area and the three guang policy in the base area. He kills everyone, burns them all and robs them all. Xiao Zhuoyi's cage policy has been upgraded by him, and the order has been When we get to the First Army, our Eighth Route Army and base areas are about to be in big trouble!
The military factory in the base area wants to mass-produce Mulan artillery and Wei Shen artillery to support the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei-Nie commanders. This time the enemy’s focus is on the densely populated Jizhou. If they succeed, the next step will be to expand to Qilu Province;
Both places are densely populated, and the three-guang policy has done too much harm to the people..."
Gao Wancheng's face turned pale
