The person who came in from the door was none other than Han Fuju.
Of course Duanwu didn't know Han Fuju, but Li Zhongren's expression changed a little, and the tone of the two people's conversation also changed.
Because it is obvious that there are not many people who can be called brothers with Li Zhongren, let alone in the fifth theater, looking at the whole of China.
Therefore, Duanwu concluded that the person who walked in at this time was Han Fuju.
However, why did Duanwu have such a big opinion against Han Fuju?
In fact, although Han Fuju went his own way, caused many injustices, and was very ignorant in his administration, in general, he was much better than Zhang Zongchang.
Moreover, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he and the Japanese fought back and forth.
When the Japanese army first entered Shandong, Han Fuju personally commanded on the front line and carried out the night attack on Sangyuan Station, the bloody battle in Dezhou, the defense of Linyi, the Jiyang encounter, the Battle of Tuhai River, the Battle of Jinan, and the night attack on Dawenkou Waiting for the battle.
Moreover, the most worth mentioning is that at this time, the Japanese army achieved good results on both the northern and southern fronts. Although there were heavy casualties, in general, the central army and the local army were always in retreat. trend.
However, under such unfavorable circumstances, Han Fuju was able to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army twice and achieved good results. This was also very commendable at the beginning of the War of Resistance.
But later, Han Fuju had many conflicts with the chairman of the committee, and therefore went astray.
At that time, the Chairman promised to transfer a heavy artillery brigade of the Central Army to Han Fuju's command. However, during Han Fuju's battle, the Chairman suddenly broke his promise and transferred the artillery brigade to Tang Enbo.
Because the firepower gap between Han Fuju's troops and the Japanese army was large at that time, the three divisions Han Fuju participated in the war suffered heavy casualties.
As a result, Han Fuju had a gap in his heart, and he believed that his Third Army was under the command of Li Zhongren's Fifth Theater, and Han Fuju himself also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater.
However, while Han Fuju was fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese army, there were no other Central Army troops in Shandong to support him.
Therefore, Han Fuju believed that the Chairman was using him as cannon fodder, so he immediately withdrew with his men. And then he contacted the Japanese, which left him with the reputation of a traitor.
Of course, although Han Fuju did have his reasons, this does not excuse the mistakes he made. Because his withdrawal directly disrupted the original combat deployment, the Battle of Xuzhou has been very passive.
What's more, Han Fuju was actually a warlord, the local emperor, and those who died unjustly at his hands had to have a reinforced company even if they didn't have a regiment.
However, although Han Fuju deserved his death, he still did not disobey the order and escaped from the battle. He was also the deputy commander of the fifth theater. What reason could Duanwu give to kill him?
And there is another problem with killing Han Fuju.
To put it bluntly, Han Fuju was a local warlord. Although he had defected to the Republic of China government, he still had the final say at the local level, and he did not even turn over the finances. And he would also make some small moves from time to time, trying to overthrow the government of the Republic of China and become the emperor himself.
Therefore, the generals under him probably have the same thoughts.
In other words, if Han Fuju dies, his troops will most likely be in chaos, or even mutiny as a result.
So Duanwu had another idea. The fundamental reason why Han Fuju escaped before the battle was because the chairman of the committee said that an artillery brigade assigned to him had not been fulfilled. In addition, he was fighting on the front line and did not receive support from other central armies. Therefore, Escape from battle.
When Duanwu thought of this, he felt that things seemed simple.
"Hahaha, Old Han. I have long heard that Commander Han is the contemporary Han Qingtian. It is better to meet him than to be famous! Hahaha!"
Duanwu burst out laughing, and Li Zhongren, who was laughing beside him, felt terrified. Because just now this little brat was saying bad things about others, why in the blink of an eye is he starting to flatter him again?
At this time, Han Fuju was a little stunned. At first, when he heard the Dragon Boat Festival calling him Lao Han, he wanted to go up and smoke the Dragon Boat Festival, because he was the dignified Commander Han. Even if Li Zhongren saw him, he would call him Brother Han. You are a young boy, but when you see me, you will Dare you call me Lao Han?
But what he said after the Dragon Boat Festival sounded very comfortable, so the face that he had just straightened immediately showed a smile: "This little brother is very good at talking!"
Duanwu said quickly: "I have grown up listening to your stories about Commander Han since I was a child.
You, Commander Han, are my idol!
Commander Han, you are not only magnanimous, but also proficient in both literature, Taoism and military strategy. You have won hundreds of battles on the battlefield. You have led the way and drank blood. You are loyal and patriotic. You have sacrificed your life and blood for this country and the people... .You are a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the people! ..."
"puff!"
Li Zhongren on the side vomited blood immediately after hearing this, and thought to himself: Grandma's Dragon Boat Festival, this kid's words will not be believed even in the future. Is this obviously what you just praised me for?
Li Zhongren was angry on the sidelines!
But at this time, Han Fuju felt very comfortable. He said to Duanwu: "Little brother, you and I really hit it off. What do you call me?"
Duanwu said: "Duanwu, hahaha!"
"Dragon Boat Festival?"
Duanwu smiled, but Han Fuju was shocked, because hadn't Li Zhongren in front of him said hundreds of times that he wanted to kill that guy Duanwu? Why are two people standing together talking and laughing at this moment?
Han Fuju didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask about such ugly things. The first reason he came this time was to hear what Li Zhongren had planned, and the second reason was to ask for his own artillery brigade.
At the beginning of the war, this was something the Chairman had promised him, but at this time, there was no movement as the war was approaching.
Therefore, Han Fuju was also very anxious, otherwise he would not have heard that Li Zhongren was going to have a meeting, so he drove hundreds of kilometers to Xuzhou.
But this time, he felt that his artillery brigade was settled, because the relationship between Duanwu and that person was extraordinary!
Thinking of this, Han Fuju also flattered: "I have long heard that Brother Duanwu is smart, wise, and invincible. He killed a man seven in and seven out in the enemy's hinterland. He is really a young hero. I, Han, admire and respect him."
Duanwu hurriedly handed over his hand: "Senior, you deserve the award. My little ability is not worth mentioning in front of you!"
Han Fuju also repeatedly raised his hands and said: "Where, where, little brother is being humble."
Duanwu said: "How dare you, how dare you, General Han is still more skilled, hahaha!"
"hold head high!"
Li Zhongren on the side couldn't listen anymore and made a sound like an old cow. He thought to himself: Are you two still finished? Is it fun to compliment each other like this? .....
