Guanzhong, Qiulin Town, World War II Zone Provisional Chief's Department
Mr. Baichuan was reading an autographed letter written to him by Lieutenant General Yansong, the commander of the Japanese First Army. On the table was the "Armistice Agreement" brought back by Zhao Yinfu, and he was asked to sign it.
"Mr. Baichuan, please travel a long distance to meet in Xiaoyi on the 15th of this month in Fenzhou or Tiantun Town. If it is inconvenient, we will consider letting the Jinling government send a plenipotentiary representative to attend... After the above meeting, Please issue a declaration of independence at the appropriate time..."
Baichuan looked and rubbed his head. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. He took out his pen and ink and prepared to write a reply to Lieutenant General Iwasong.
"Headquarters, Zezhou emergency call, the Eighth Route Army Independent Division Chen Hao's Department is organizing military exercises around our jurisdiction, with unknown intentions."
When Baichuan heard this, he immediately put away the pen and paper, and then said angrily:
"What does Chu Xiong want to do? Does he want to undermine the united front? How many troops did they dispatch?"
Guo Zaiyang, senior staff officer in the World War II zone and Baichuan’s think tank, replied:
"Commander Xu of the Guring 72nd Division reported that two regiments deployed by Chen Hao's Anping Army Division near Guring City suddenly cut off the connection between the 72nd Division headquarters and the main 338th Regiment. About 4,000 people appeared at the 338th Regiment's station. Around Hejia Town;
Another two regiments of about 7,000 people appeared near the jurisdiction of the 72nd Division. Li Tiejun and He Wei of the 81st Division of the Eighth Route Army also moved towards Guringcheng. When asked, they all said they had received orders to participate in the exercise;
If I ask again, I have no comment! "
Baichuan started scratching his head again. He was not a fool. The Eighth Route Army did not practice exercises early or late, but it chose to conduct exercises at this juncture. The intention was like the lice on the head of a bald man, it couldn't be more obvious;
They must have heard the news, and even got the exact information. The Jinsui Army had been infiltrated by the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, and the Japs for a long time. It was only natural that the Eighth Route Army and even the leader in Sichuan got the information. .
He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would react so violently...
"Brother Zaiyang, do you think the Eighth Route Army is bluffing, or is it serious?"
Baichuan habitually asked about his think tank. Guo Zaiyang thought for a while and said:
“The humble opinion is that it depends on your attitude and if you don’t make the final move, they’re bluffing;
If they walk out, they will take action!
Others dare not say it, but Chu Xiong will definitely do it. This is a master who dares to expose even the sky. "
That's all what Guo Zaiyang said. The rest is up to Mr. Baichuan to judge by himself. Some words don't need to be said clearly.
"Chu Xiong is so lawless. Brother Yujie doesn't care about him. How can he lead the troops?"
After Baichuan said nonsense, he continued to scratch his head. He just wanted to dance on the three eggs, get some benefits from the Japanese, and change the current predicament.
It's fine now. When I met Chu Xiong, a fool who didn't care about politics at all, it made the old man very embarrassed.
With so much equipment and supplies, you can get it for free from the Japs as long as you are willing to compromise, and you can also blackmail your brother.
"Brother Zaiyang, where do you think the bottom line for Chu Er is?"
Guo Zaiyang thought for a while and then said:
"Chu Xiong is not easy to figure out. His flexibility in doing things is completely different from the Eighth Route Army's style of doing things. Once he commits a crime, he dares to kill him in Shuzhong. This is a master who can kill tens of thousands of Japanese without blinking an eye!
I have studied this person carefully and found that he is still very protective of the united front. I think that as long as the general secretary does not publicly declare his surrender to the Japanese, he will not use force against our Shanxi-Sui Army. "
Baichuan nodded and said:
"Brother Zaiyang said it is absolutely true. Old man, I am still the commander of the World War II area, and the Jinsui Army is still in the battle order of the Kuomintang Army. Brother Chu cannot mess around;
Call Division Commander Xu and all departments of our Shanxi-Sui Army and strictly instruct them to restrain their troops and guard their defense areas. No one is allowed to take the lead in shooting at the Eighth Route Army, and no one can give them an excuse.
In addition, call Brother Yujie, protest to them, and urge him to restrain his troops, especially that idiot Chu Er! No, Mr. Chu! "
After Guo Zaiyang left, Baichuan spread out the rolled paper again, picked up the pen and started to reply:
"Your Excellency Yansong personally inspected:
We are ready to meet at the front line. We will meet again when we go to Xicheng. According to the agreement, it should be most appropriate to issue a declaration after the first phase is completed... When meeting with Brother Wang, you must carefully consider it in advance. If Mr. Wang is coming, other Local powerful factions should also come..."
The old man's reply was written in a eloquent and eloquent manner for more than ten pages, all of which were written in Spring and Autumn style, which fully demonstrated the strangeness, changeability, breadth and profoundness of our Chinese writing. He believed that with the stubborn head of the old devil Yansong, even if he tried to break it, he would not be able to change it. ;
Just one thing, you must first see the benefits promised by the Japanese in the first stage, one hundred thousand rifles and fifty million loans. Even if you get 30% to 50% first, it will be enough for the old man to live for several years.
As for the second stage, he has a lot of Spring and Autumn writing skills to fool him. The old man's ability to dance on three eggs is not in vain.
"This Chu Xiong! What a fool! I have 100,000 rifles and 300,000 troops, old man..."
Baichuan felt so painful that he was beating his chest. With Chu Xiong's incident, his plan had to be changed.
In the middle of Shu, the official residence of Zhongcai
Sure enough, as Mr. Baichuan expected, he had the armistice agreement in his hand, word for word!
Brother Yu Nong stood with his hands hanging down, he was quietly waiting for the planting decision, this was already a routine operation;
They only serve as Zhongcai's eyes and the knife in their hands. Their eyes are used to watch his enemies for Zhongcai. When necessary, they can chop whoever they ask. This is the value of their existence.
Zhong Cao's face was gloomy and uncertain, and the murderous look in his eyes was looming, like a dragon diving, unfathomable.
"Yunong, Chuxiong and the Eighth Route Army dispatched tens of thousands of people to conduct exercises in the Shanxi-Sui Army Defense Area. Do you understand their true intentions?"
"Going back to Zhongcai, according to the intelligence sent back by An Zi from Yanzhou, Chu Xiong sent a telegram to Yanzhou. The specific content was highly confidential, and An Zi did not dare to get it for fear of being exposed;
After this telegram, the 882nd Regiment, the main force of Chuxiong's independent division, and the hidden Preliminary 1st and 2nd Preliminary Regiments all moved closer to the Shanxi-Sui Army defense area. They were all loaded with live ammunition. They said it was an exercise and surrounded the 72nd Division.
The New 1st Regiment and the 3rd New Regiment of the 81st Division also approached the ancient mausoleum for the reason of military exercises. "
A gloating smile appeared on Cai Zhong's face. The Eighth Route Army's intention was obvious. It was to warn his ally not to act rashly.
"Yunong, the Eighth Route Army's intention is already obvious. There is no need to expose important chess pieces to prove this matter. They have done a good job this time and continue to lurk, waiting for the call;
I know Brother Baichuan, he is just playing small tricks to get some benefits from the Japanese.
He cherishes his body very much, and he dare not take any serious action;
Plus, with Chu Xiong here, he wouldn’t even dare to do it. This time, let’s let the Eighth Route Army and Chu Xiong teach Brother Baichuan how to be a good man! "
After Zhongcai finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said:
"What is the reaction of the generals and colonels of the Jinsui Army at all levels? If they don't know the good things Brother Baichuan has done, you can help him publicize it privately;
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army still care about China, and they are making a fuss in this regard to see if they can win over a few. As an ally, I cannot always think of benefits..."
Yunong understood Zhongcai's intention instantly and disappeared into the darkness after accepting the order.
