"Chief Commander, the Eighth Route Army is going to take action this time. A main division of the Central Army is also rushing towards Qiulin Town. The enemy's equipment is easy to pick up but not easy to use. Please think twice!"
Guo Zaiyang finally plucked up the courage to persuade him a little more. The Japanese's current strength in Hedong was simply not enough to help the Jinsui Army deal with the joint attack of the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army at the same time.
The old man Baichuan is still hesitating, he is waiting for a result
"Brother Zaiyang, the results of the negotiations between Goshawk Kingdom and Dongbo should come out today. Open up your chat box and let me listen!"
Guo Zaiyang had clearly felt that the chief executive was shaking. To put it harshly, he was scared!
The development of the situation is almost beyond his control. Chu Xiong has obtained the Shang Fang Sword in Shu and may attack the Jinsui Army at any time;
The most terrible thing is that he overestimated his own appeal. Although it was difficult to fight the Japanese in the past, his orders could be said to be consistent within the Jinsui Army;
Things are different now. The morale of the Jinsui Army is unstable. Many generals with real power have ambiguous attitudes. There are even middle and lower-level officers like Li Chendong who are starting to look for other options. They abandoned him and the old man Yan stopped playing with him!
He can dance on three eggs, but the soldiers below cannot. Due to the diversification of different types, the number of troops he can pull over is limited. Without the troops, he is nothing...
Half an hour later, fellow Yan finally received the news he had been waiting for. The negotiations between the Japs and Eagle Sauce officially broke down, and the two sides began to move towards a formal confrontation.
"Brother Zaiyang, it seems that my judgment that the confrontation will be defeated is wrong. The Japs are very powerful, but they are not on the same level as Yingjiang;
Now that their negotiations have broken down, the Dongwa ship is no longer the safest. We can't risk the future of the Jinsui Army for just some equipment. I'm a villain! "
Guo Zaiyang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Chief Yan recognized the situation, the rest of the matter would be easy to handle.
"Chief Commander, do you need to send some signals to Yanzhou that the talks can continue? Zhongcai still needs the Jinsui Army to contain the Eighth Route Army in Hedong!"
Lieutenant General Guo suggested while the iron was hot.
Baichuan thought for a while and said:
"Brother Zaiyang, I leave it to you to release goodwill signals. I just said that I was deceived by villains. Now I have woken up. I am very confident in fighting the war to the end and limiting the development of the Eighth Route Army in Hedong;
As long as this signal is sent out, the division of the Central Army will stop, and the persuasive representatives will come one after another. I know him very well. On the border of Hedong, he still needs me to limit the development of the Eighth Route Army for him!
As for the East Japanese side, don't refuse outright, just insist on letting the Japanese fulfill their commitments in the first phase. Our Jinsui Army must first obtain equipment and supplies, and then electrify the whole country;
I also sent a telegram to Brother Yujie, saying it was a misunderstanding. Old man, I have absolutely no intention of signing a peace agreement with the Japanese. Rumors!
Please restrain Commander Chu and the other Eighth Route Army troops from doing anything that would make your relatives happy and your enemies happy..."
The old man from Baichuan finally saw the situation clearly and was ready to tear up the agreement he had signed before - it was just a few pieces of paper!
The next day, in the middle of Shu, Zhongcai's official residence
Lieutenant General Zhang from the Attendant Room hurried over and reported:
"Zhongcai, good news. Mr. Jia, who just arrived in Kenanpo, sent a telegram:
Mr. Baichuan has realized that he has been fooled by his children and expresses his determination to take Zhongcai's will as his will, follow Zhongcai in the fight to the end, and will never cause trouble for the country, making Zhongcai shameless towards China and foreign countries;
And promised to transfer General Zhao back today! "
After hearing this, Cai Zhong immediately laughed with the creases in the corners of his eyes. This was a big victory. He did not want to deal with Brother Baichuan at this time. He also expected his Jinsui Army to contain the growing Eighth Route Army in Hedong.
"Wen Bai, Brother Baichuan still understands the righteousness, but he was deceived by villains. Now that he has woken up and stepped back from the brink, I will ignore the past grudges and help each other in this difficult time.
Give power to the Eighth Route Army and order them to withdraw to the defense area. They only need to maintain due vigilance against the Shanxi-Sui Army. "
If the purpose of deterring Brother Baichuan is achieved, then the Eighth Route Army will have to withdraw. Now everyone is a friendly army. If the Eighth Route Army does not withdraw to the defense area, does it still want to attack the friendly army?
"Damn it, this type of guy can really turn his back faster than turning the pages of a book!"
After Wang Junjie finished speaking, he angrily handed Chu Xiong a telegram forwarded from the headquarters.
Chu Xiong took a look and saw that it was indeed an order for the Eighth Route Army units to withdraw to the defense zone, without even a thank you, which was very consistent with Zhongcai's style——
When I need her, I call her Xiao Tiantian, and when I don’t, I call her Mrs. Niu.
After reading it, Chu Xiong smiled and said to Wang Junjie:
"There's no need to get angry at such a scoundrel. It's not the first time you've gotten to know this person. As long as Chief Yan reins in, everything else will be easy to talk about;
Isn’t that what a united front is? "
"Zhong Guoliang, order all ministries to lift the blockade on all ministries of the Jinsui Army!"
Wang Junjie suddenly remembered something, and then said to Chu Xiong:
"Lao Chu, the Langtoushan Military Division has reported a situation. A large number of hungry people have recently poured into the border area between them and the Central Plains Province;
According to their understanding, it seemed that the Japanese and Commander Tang of the Central Army had done this intentionally.
Lao Luo also reported the same situation. They suspected that this was a Japanese conspiracy. "
Chu Xiong guessed what was going on as soon as he heard the general idea. These hungry people must be from the Yellow River Flood Area. After the Japanese lost the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, their ability to control the river weakened, and a large number of hungry people came all the way north from the Yellow River Flood Area. ;
In the past, these people were resources, and neither Commander Tang nor the Japanese would let them out of the defense zone.
It's different now. Commander Tang can't even feed himself. These hungry people are definitely a burden to them. Of course, it can't be ruled out that Shuzhong did this intentionally;
They should have smelled something and knew that Zhongtiao Mountain might have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
They couldn't defeat Ming, so they used Yin to drive a large number of hungry people to Zhongtiao Mountain. This not only reduced their own burden, but also created a problem for Zhongtiao Mountain. In China today, food is hard currency...
"Old Wang, no matter whose conspiracy it is, Zhao Sihu and the others must loudly protest to Commander Tang and take the case to Zhongcai!
But the hungry people came over. As a famous anti-Japanese general, Zhao Sihu, even if his own army rations were not eaten, the soldiers could not starve the people when they were hungry;
Let Zhao Sihu and Luo Weimin use military rations to open porridge sheds, so that the hungry people who enter Zhongtiao Mountain cannot starve to death! "
"Old Chu, are you planning to let Zhong Cai take the initiative to send hungry people to Zhongtiao Mountain?"
Wang Junjie reacted instantly and asked excitedly.
He is the political commissar of the Independent Division. He knows how much food Lao Chu has brought back in the past two years. They had also thought about rescuing the hungry people in the Central Plains Province before, but they were unable to deliver food to them due to the Central Army's Zhongtiao Mountains across the way. On, now I am fine, I can finally do something for the people.
"Old Wang, see it through but don't tell it! When these hungry people come over, they not only have to open porridge sheds to save them, but also settle them down. If Zhongtiao Mountain can't be settled, let them flee to the Anping base area, and the base area will take over them all;
As long as they are well fed, these people can create social value and provide a large number of soldiers. These are your political commissar's strengths. I am only responsible for food.
Even if everyone has had a harder time in the past two years, we cannot let our compatriots starve to death in large numbers! "
Wang Junjie looked at Chu Xiong with a lot of stars in his eyes, and his admiration could not be overflowing.
"Old Chu, you are a true Bolshevik who cares about the world!"
"Okay, Lao Wang, don't look at me like that, and quickly inform Lao Zhao and them to complain to Commander Tang!"
