"The division commander doesn't agree with Brigadier Zhu's words?" Huang Shuxun, deputy commander of the 115th Brigade, looked at Ma Fawu and asked.
Ma Fawu nodded and said: "Part of me agrees, but the other part doesn't quite agree. Don't worry about Zhang Liyuan's department, Commissioner Zhang will naturally help our army. It's not like our army has no friendship with Commissioner Zhang. By then, this Central Army unit will , I still don’t know what the situation is.”
As soon as Ma Fawu said this, everyone present was stunned: It seems that the division commander's words are not unreasonable. The Central Army and the Northwest Army have a feud, and the Central Army is a legitimate force worthy of the name. They also look down on the Northwest Army. military.
"But, division commander, the theater commander's headquarters transferred them to Lunan, didn't they just hope to support the front line of Linyi and Mengyin?" Zhu Jialin frowned slightly.
Ma Fawu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "That's what I say, but haven't you heard of the saying that the general's life will be at stake? What if they don't support us? Once we are in trouble, If the first regiment directly under the Third War Zone refuses to listen to the announcement, then our 40th Army will be ruined in Lunan!"
"Yes, sir, I understand the humble position." Zhu Jialin responded. After all, he was also from the Northwest Army and was also a miscellaneous military officer in the eyes of the Central Army. How could he not understand what the division commander said?
There are differences between local miscellaneous armies and the Central Army after all, even the well-equipped Northeastern Army is no exception...
Looking at the map in front of him, Zhu Jialin's face sank: Although the Central Army has good equipment and strong combat effectiveness, it is still a question whether they are willing to fight side by side with the Northwest Army.
Regarding the factional struggle, Ma Fawu, who graduated from the eighth batch of Baoding Military Academy, saw it clearly than anyone else. When it came time to fight for his life, it was difficult to say whether the Central Army would fight to the death to reinforce or just stand by and watch.
Ma Fawu's somewhat bushy eyebrows wrinkled slightly and said: "Let's not include this Central Army unit in our budget for the time being! But the war situation is ever-changing, and we cannot rule out the direct control of the Third Theater Command. The First Regiment will support us. Next, let’s carry out a defensive battle according to plan No. 1! We must not let the little devils capture Mengyin so easily.”
"Yes! Sir!" A group of Northwest Army officers at the division headquarters responded.
…
While Ma Fawu and others were having a headache because of the Japanese army's pressing step by step, Zhang Tianhai took Xu Sangou to look for people on the streets.
Who to look for? Of course, he had to find a woman with experience in giving birth. Although Zhang Tianhai was a rough guy, he still knew that when a woman was just pregnant, she was most likely to lose her baby, so she had to focus on preserving the fetus.
But as soon as he took to the streets, Zhang Tianhai ran into trouble: He said he wanted to go to the streets to find a job like a confinement nanny, but it seems that there is no such job at this time, right? Even if there was, it would be difficult for him as a grown man to ask. Besides, it would be quite difficult for someone who was unfamiliar with the place.
Ever since, Zhang Tianhai once again thought of Mr. Chen, a kind old man...
But it seems like it’s not a problem to always catch such an old man in a trap, right?
However, after patrolling for a long time with the young man Xu Sangou, Zhang Tianhai found nothing, so Zhang Tianhai could only bring Xu Sangou to find Chen Dazhi again.
"Tuanzuo, where are we going?" Xu Sangou asked.
"Looking for confinement sister-in-law." Zhang Tianhai said bluntly, then thought for a moment and added: "Don't talk about this to anyone else. If you hear any gossip in the group, I will only ask you."
"Yes! Tuan Zuo!" Xu Sangou straightened his back quickly and responded. He was able to become a guard platoon leader today only because the Tuan Zuo respected him. He didn't want to commit suicide...
So the two stepped into the door of Lanling County Government again.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Tianhai was once again welcomed at home by Chen Dazhi.
After entering Chen Dazhi's office, Zhang Tianhai asked Chen Dazhi to screen out everyone else, and then Xu Sangou personally stood guard at the door. Unless there was something urgent, he was not allowed to enter the room to disturb him.
"Commander Zhang came to visit this time. He was so solemn and brought some gifts, which really surprised me. I must have something important to do, right?" Chen Dazhi said bluntly.
"Mr. Chen really eats more salt than us young people eat rice. To be honest with Mr. Chen, we really have something important to discuss... ah no, to be precise, we are asking for each other. Zhang Fang came to Lan The mausoleum was built not long ago, but I have to bother Mr. Chen several times, which makes Zhang feel very ashamed." Zhang Tianhai said with a bitter look on his face.
Seeing Zhang Tianhai like this, Chen Dazhi also guessed that he was in trouble, so he said: "Although I don't have much contact with Commander Zhang, I can know from this that Commander Zhang is a man of true temperament. Those who fight for the country and are not afraid of sacrifice are the people I admire. Whatever difficulties Commander Zhang encounters, just tell me, I will definitely try my best."
"To be honest with Mr. Chen, this is a private matter at this time, and it is not suitable to be disclosed to the outside world. However, Zhang has no acquaintances in Lanling, so he is not at ease if he does it rashly." Zhang Tianhai said, "If Mr. Chen can help with this matter, Zhang is grateful, and if I can’t help, please ask Mr. Chen to speak up.”
"Commander Zhang, it doesn't matter. As long as it's within the scope of Lao Chen's ability, there's no problem. As for confidentiality, Commander Zhang, don't worry. Lao Chen has been out in the world for decades. This is the basic principle and bottom line of life. "Chen Dazhi gently stroked his long beard and said with a very serious face.
"In that business, since you don't trust those you employ, you don't trust those who doubt you. If Zhang can win over the old gang leader Chen, he can't wait for it. It's like this. My fiancée is pregnant with my child, but the wedding has not been held. I'm afraid she will be betrayed by others. Criticism. But Zhang’s child has to be protected. I have no relatives in Lanling, and it’s not convenient in the army, so I can only see if Mr. Chen can help." Zhang Tianhai said, maybe He forgot what he said, so he quickly added: "Money is not a problem."
Chen Dazhi thought for a while and said: "Commander Zhang's busy schedule is not a big problem in my opinion. If Commander Zhang can trust me, he can place your fiancée in the old man's house and let the old man's family take care of him. I will take good care of your lady. As for the money, Commander Zhang doesn’t have to worry. I just ask Commander Zhang to train the Lanling City Defense Soldiers into an army."
"That's very good, then I'm grateful to Mr. Chen for taking care of him. Training the city defense camp is Zhang's responsibility, and it will be trained well. Please rest assured, Mr. Chen and the people of Lanling." Zhang Tianhai stood up and promised.
"Good." Chen Dazhi nodded and said, "Then the matter of raising the fetus should come sooner rather than later. Please come to my house as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Zhang Tianhai said seriously, he must owe this favor.
"I will send one of his confidants to follow Commander Zhang to the city defense headquarters to pick him up now." Chen Dazhi is not a sloppy person. On the contrary, he does things very neatly.
"No need, it's too early to go ahead about this matter. Let him come to the gate of the city defense headquarters in an hour and wait for me to complete the formalities." Zhang Tianhai said.
"Okay." Chen Dazhi nodded.
