"Captain Li, please put this guy away. We are one of our own, and my brother is from Shu."
The visitor said calmly. Li Yuanzheng took a closer look at the commander of the second battalion and the third company. He was hiding quite deeply.
Li Chendong knew who it was as soon as he smelled the sinister smell on the person's body, and reflexively made the following explanation:
"Brother, there is nothing I can do. I have never seen someone named Qin put a cannon barrel on my waist, just to protect himself. But Captain Wang, you are better at singing. I, the 338th regiment, hid such a great master like you without knowing it. I am ashamed." ah."
After Li Chendong finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, and the visitor entered the room without any courtesy, without the submissiveness of the previous small company commander.
After entering the room, Wang Chao first introduced himself to Li Chendong. Sure enough, he was sent by the Tsing Yi Club.
But what he didn't know was that Li Chendong was actually from Shuzhong, but they belonged to another system, codenamed CC.
"Director Wang probably doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you have anything to say, just tell your brother."
Li Chendong didn't have much favorable impressions of the people in the Tsing Yi Club. He acted businesslike after entering the door. Wang Chao didn't take it seriously either. He had a bargaining chip in his hand that Li Chendong was interested in.
President Dai said it very well. There is no one in this world who cannot be bought or sold. If you can't buy it, the price you pay is just not enough.
"Captain Li is really a soldier, quick to talk to others, and in this case, my brother will stop whining;
Zhongcai already knows about Chief Yan's affairs, but the reason why he hasn't taken any action yet is because he hopes to give Chief Yan a chance to wake up.
He couldn't be like Wang Zhaoming, and if he didn't do anything about it, the Eighth Route Army would deal with him. Captain Li was a tough-minded man from the east of the river, so naturally he didn't bother to do anything that dishonored his ancestors;
As the old saying goes, a fire at the city gate will bring disaster to the fish in the pond. Once Chief Yan does something that is highly reprehensible, the Eighth Route Army and our Central Army will send troops to exterminate the traitors. China cannot afford a second Wang Zhaoming.
Zhongcai knows that our officers and men in the Jinsui Army are all bloody men, so naturally they will not betray their ancestors, but they will inevitably suffer disasters;
If the 338th Regiment is transferred to our Central Military System, we will privately notify Chu Xiong's headquarters that Commander Qin of the Eighth Route Army will withdraw not only the artillery, but all the troops will have to withdraw. It is not enough to give them ten courages. Dare to take action against our Central Army. "
Li Chendong understood clearly that Zhongcai wanted to fish in troubled waters and poach his brothers. He estimated that Tsing Yi Club might be looking for more than just them.
The current Jinsui soldiers are in panic, and most of them are unwilling to be dogs for the Japanese. Although Li Yuanzheng keeps saying that he wants to go up the mountain and become the king of the mountain, this means that if you really do it, you will lose.
If they do not want to surrender to the Japanese, there are only two roads in front of them, one is the Central Army and the other is the Eighth Route Army;
Li Chendong would not join the Eighth Route Army. Now that the Central Army has come to find him, it suits him exactly. After all, he himself is a member of the CC.
There is no pressure to switch to the Central Army, but it still depends on whether there are any benefits.
Li Chendong is also a guy who can't afford to start early without any benefit. Wang Chaozhou knows the thoughts of these military leaders. If there is no benefit, who will recruit you?
Fortunately, this is what Zhongcai is best at. Hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army, Northwest Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, as well as Sichuan Army, Guangdong Army, and Hunan Army were all bribed in this way, and they were familiar with the road.
Wang Chao knew it was time to come up with something hard...
He took out a few blank appointment letters from his body, handed them to Li Chendong, and then said:
"Brigade Commander Li, Zhongcai plans to upgrade the 338th Regiment to the 338th Brigade, which will be affiliated to the 27th Army Standard Department of the Central Army. You will be promoted to the Major General and Brigade Commander of the Central Army, and Li Yuanzheng will be promoted to the colonel commander;
All the officers and assistants were promoted, and they were in charge of two infantry regiments, one artillery battalion, and one cavalry battalion. The missing soldiers were recruited on the spot, and the equipment was allocated by the 27th Army.
Congratulations to Brigadier Li and Commander Li on their promotion! "
When Li Chendong heard this, he immediately became happy. Sure enough, the crying child had milk. There was a high probability that the man named Qin would withdraw from the siege. He was finally promoted to major general and brigade commander and joined the Central Military Commission. Once announced, he would be given Qin Feng didn't even dare to surround him again.
Li Chenxi was happy, but Brother Baichuan was furious, and no one knew who had leaked the news. The fact that he had signed an armistice agreement with the Japanese had already spread throughout the Shanxi-Sui Army system;
The senior officers were a little better. A large number of middle and lower-level officers reacted very strongly. They all shouted that they would not be regarded as traitors even if they died. This made Baichuan Han publicly stated several times in the army that this was absolutely not the case;
"Slander, pure slander, must have been done by my brother from the alliance, who wanted to take the opportunity to win over and divide our Shanxi-Sui Army!
Brother Zaiyang, haven’t we suffered enough from him? "
After Brother Baichuan finished speaking, he looked aggrieved. On his desk was a letter he had just received from Lieutenant General Yan Song, the commander of the First Army.
They still insisted on letting Brother Baichuan issue a declaration of independence first, and then fulfill their obligations. In order to show their sincerity, they first handed over the promised Xiaoyi City to the Jinsui Army, as well as some arms. This was already the bottom line for the devils.
The old man from Baichuan thought that the letter was a vacuum, and Lieutenant General Guo would naturally not see it. He had this awareness. Today he also brought a piece of news that would make the commander jump up and curse after hearing it:
"General, Li Chendong, the former commander of the 338th Regiment of the 72nd Division, publicly stood up against the truce with the Japanese. He said he would rather die than be regarded as a traitor. He accepted the order from Shuzhong and agreed to reorganize the 338th Regiment into the 338th Brigade of the Central Army. He was appointed as Major General Brigade long--"
Before Lieutenant General Guo finished speaking, the old man jumped up and cursed his brother for being despicable, taking advantage of the situation, and adding insult to injury...
The last five hundred words were omitted, and they were all curses in the Wutai Mountain dialect. Lieutenant General Guo just pretended that he didn't understand a single word - I'm from Jizhou, I really can't understand!
He still has to maintain the most basic respect for Zhongcai. The old man can curse, but he cannot listen;
When it comes to brothers, it’s like Xiang Yu scolding Liu Ji’s father. It’s not a crime to scold him, but if you hear it, you may be resented by the tribe.
"Ahem, Chief, Li Chendong's matter is a done deal. If you don't care about him, it will just be a group. I'm afraid that others will follow suit!
Now that the morale of the army is fluctuating, the most indispensable thing in Sichuan is the empty orders. There are as many as you want, but our Jinsui army only has hundreds of thousands of soldiers at full strength;
Once the morale of the army is messed up, all he has to spend is a few pieces of paper! "
The old man from Baichuan didn't know this, but the land in a county and tens of thousands of guns that were about to be acquired were too tempting. Now that the rice has been eaten away and the chicken is still missing, he really can't give in.
After a long time, the old man from Baichuan touched his head and said:
“Brother Zaiyang, this old man is suffering!”
Lieutenant General Guo knew that the old man from Baichuan had not given up yet, because in the old man's heart, the war of resistance would be defeated, and he was looking for a way out for himself.
According to his understanding of the old man from Baichuan, the change of the 338th Brigade to the Central Army would only make him move closer to the Japanese, but he would do so more covertly.
"Brother Zaiyang, what happened with the 338th Regiment must be taken as a warning. All army and division commanders must be optimistic about their own troops and comfort the soldiers. The old man is from Hedong. Rumors cannot be believed. Don't let outsiders divide our Hedong soldiers. count!"
After Mr. Baichuan sent Guo Zaiyang away, he took out pen and ink from the drawer and continued to reply to Lieutenant General Iwasong...
October 27, Zhongcai’s official residence in Shuzhong
Yunong sent the latest information about "Kenanpo" again. His ally brother seemed to be determined to have his own way and was a little serious about it.
"Yunong, order Xu Cichen to call Brother Baichuan again to advise..."
