The chief of staff smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Sir Ling, I'm afraid things may not go as we wish. Although Xu Dalong is young, he is by no means a simple person. He came to us today and made such a fuss.
We are in a passive position. He will never let us take advantage of the 396th Division and Shangzhou City. If my prediction is correct, he has already made arrangements. At this time, the 396th Division must have been completely controlled by him.
In our hands. Let’s send people over to intervene, there’s not much hope.”
Mr. Tang was also a little discouraged. He knew the situation of the 396th Division very well. Although it was nominally affiliated to the Eighth War Zone, the 396th Division was not a direct unit of Mr. Tang. It was a miscellaneous local armed force. Song Tianming never listened to his superiors.
The arrogant soldiers and generals under him will naturally not buy into the Eighth Theater Command's department.
It is also difficult to control the 396th Division using other methods, because the 396th Division’s military expenses, including the source of weapons and ammunition, are raised by the 396th Division by itself and will not rely on the Eighth Theater Command. It can be said that if others want to deal with you, you can deal with them.
You, if I ignore you, there is nothing you can do.
The reason why the Chief of the Eighth War Zone recruited Song Tianming's troops was to use the Shangzhou City they controlled to resist the Japanese attack and prevent the flanks of the Eighth War Zone from directly facing the Japanese army. The two sides were just using each other.
The 39th 6th Division will not recognize the people sent by one side at all. What's more, Xu Dalong is also causing trouble among them. It can be said that it is a fool's dream to control the 39th 6th Division and Shangzhou City.
Despite this fact, Mr. Tang still said reluctantly: "Is Liang Xiaopeng just allowed to control the 396th Division and occupy Shangzhou City?"
The chief of staff said: "Of course you can take advantage of me. You see, we should appoint a new commander of the 396th Division and send me to take over. No matter what, the 396th Division is still a unit of our fourth theater in name. Send people
Taking over is an upright thing. Whether it can be successful or not will give Liang Xiaopeng a headache at most."
Tang Mou nodded and said: "That's the only way."
At that moment, a clear male voice came from the door: "Report."
The chief of staff said: "Get back."
The door of the office opened, and a handsome young male officer came back. You are Mr. Tang's confidential secretary.
The family has lived together for so many years and has a deep relationship. Lin Xiang can also be selfish and only consider personal feelings, so you must seek permission from the class leader and others.
Shangzhou City, 396th Division Headquarters.
I heard that Siling invited the troupe to join the Fourth Route Army, and Lin Xiang was willing to do so. But you didn't have any worries. After all, there weren't that many people outside the troupe. If others were willing, Weng Zheng, as a troupe member,
If you leave the pillars outside, the troupe will fall apart.
If you want to firmly control the 396th Division, you must develop an upper-level organization within the 396th Division. Only by developing a sufficient number of above-ground members in the 396th Division can you truly influence and control the 396th Division.
Seeing the helpless look on his elder brother's face, Li Changshui smiled and said: "He is really stubborn. Your uncle said that if they were willing, their entire troupe would not be able to join the Fourth Route Army. Among the Fourth Route Army, too,
If there is no theater troupe, it is called a publicity team, which usually requires unprofessional people like them."
Weng Zhengchen and Commander Si stood up and shook hands with us coldly to greet us. Before everyone sat down, Team Leader Li said: "Captain Xu, Director Li, Lin Xiang told you the matter, and you also told people outside the troupe
We have discussed it and you are willing to join the Fourth Route Army."
In the Fourth Route Army, generals at all levels would rather fight the Japanese than deal with the Guo army, not because the die-hards in the Guo army are difficult to deal with. Dealing with us cannot be solved by the complicated use of force and requires extreme efforts.
If you have low skills in the art of struggle and related personal connections, you also need to master a bad sense of proportion. It is difficult to be competent if you learn from others.
Before receiving the telegram from Liang Xiaopeng and Kong Jie's seven-member team, Gao Zhanxiong gave low-level approval for the work of Liang Xiaopeng and others.
In those days, Weng Zheng and the entire theater troupe were cast under the terrifying shadow of Xu Dalong. Now that Xu Dalong has fallen, everyone is relieved.
Liang Xiaopeng didn't have that idea, so I nodded and said: "Song Tianming is a decent person, not patriotic, active in resisting Japan and willing to get closer to the Fourth Route Army. He is a retrograde person who cannot be won over. You will use him in Shangzhou City
During that time, they had as little contact with me as possible, did my ideological work, and strived for me to join the underground party organization."
In the past few days, Senior Disciple has often had contact with the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Route Army. In particular, these special operations team members left a deep impression on me.
Tang said: "You think about it that way too. Let's just leave it like that."
Commander Sling said: "You haven't told the superior organization in Shangzhou City yet, asking us to select some people to retreat to the 396th Division. You haven't had an idea yet. You want to send some people from our Fourth Route officers and soldiers to retreat.
39 6 division work to weaken the influence of upper-level organizations.”
Before meeting Weng Zheng, senior disciple told me what Weng Zhengchen said.
The person who sent the telegram was Liang Xiaopeng’s old friend, Commander Yang. During the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou, Commander Yang and Mr. Tang fought side by side and rescued each other, and they had a very close relationship.
That afternoon, Liang Xiaopeng and Commander Si Ling were studying outside the office about developing ground-level personnel within the 396th Division.
Before taking control of Shangzhou City, the small door from Henan to Shandong was opened. Kong Jie followed the two main regiments and continued to retreat eastward to meet up with the troops of the Shandong Military Region. Liang Xiaopeng stayed outside Shangzhou City, waiting for Weng Zhengchen to step back.
instruct.
That was the main reason Gao Zhanxiong sent Liang Xiaopeng here. Weng Zhengchen also lived up to Weng Zhengchen's expectations. He only controlled the 396th Division and Shangzhou City, and allowed Tang and others to make a fuss about it.
Before we separated, we kept in regular correspondence with each other. Commander Yang recommended Song Tianming, commander of the seventh regiment of the 396 Division, to replace Xu Dalong as the division commander of the 396 Division.
"Report." At that time, the voice of Weng Zhengchen's security guard came from inside. Before the door opened, Lin Xiang and the theater leader Li stepped back.
The chief of staff nodded and said: "That's not bad. To be honest, Shangzhou City is in the hands of Xu Dalong. You really have nothing to worry about. If the Japanese army really retreats from us, Xu Dalong will
We have low hopes. Without Weng Zhengchen here, the Japanese army may launch a retreat against us through Shangzhou City. At most, our flanks are still in danger."
We both agreed that although Song Tianming was willing to cooperate with the actions of the Fourth Route Army, from one moment to the next, Song Tianming was now grateful to the Fourth Route Army and relied on the support and protection of the Fourth Route Army. However, before the passage of time, I occupied Shangzhou
If you become a local emperor in a city, no one can guarantee whether your thoughts will change.
Song Tianming knew very well that he had no foundation, so I consciously regarded Liang Xiaopeng as his backer. I solemnly expressed my position to Liang Xiaopeng that the 396th Division would learn from Liang Xiaopeng's command.
Commander Si Ling said to Liang Xiaopeng: "In the development of the underground party organization within the 396th Division, the most critical figure is Song Tianming.
Liang Xiaopeng, Si Lingyu and others were also invited to watch the show. Liang Xiaopeng also gave a low degree of appreciation to the superb acting skills of Lin Xiang and others.
That day, Li Changshui came to see his senior disciple and said to me with excitement: "You have to tell him bad news. Your superiors have not approved your joining the Fourth Route Army. Now you have to follow Captain Xu and we to fight the Japanese. It's just that.
It’s not a pity, now I can visit him more often.”
You see, Weng Zhengchen respects him very much, and even asked him to personally take action and do less of Song Tianming's work, so that he can develop me into an underground clerk. This way, things will be less troublesome in the future."
Before Mr. Tang finished reading the telegram, he said with a wry smile: "That big guy Liang Xiaopeng is really good at everything. I asked that old man to intercede on my behalf. Since we have a way to actually control the 39th 6th Division, you might as well just do it
Give your old friend some face, let’s just forget about the 39 6th Division and Shangzhou City.”
Lin Xiang returned to the theater. Everyone was happy for you when they saw that you were safe and well.
Weng Zhengchen smiled and said: "You know, he is willing to give up or get his senior sister."
Song Tianming took over the command of the 396th Division. However, as I am the commander of the 7th Regiment, taking over the 396th Division was not justified. When I saw the letter from the 4th Theater Command, I was appointed to succeed Xu Dalong.
, when I was appointed as the commander of the 396th Division, I admired Liang Xiaopeng so much. Because I was very knowledgeable, the commander of the Fourth Theater Region fully recognized him, and Liang Xiaopeng was able to get the commander of the Fourth Theater Region to refuse him to take over.
396 Division, it is unimaginable that Liang Xiaopeng does not have a lot of energy within the Guo Army.
In order to thank the Fourth Route Army, the theater troupe took the initiative to invite the Fourth Route Army officers and soldiers to watch the show later. Our performance was very hard-working and it was completely free.
Liang Xiaopeng said: "He is very thoughtful. Do you have any objections? After dinner, we will discuss it with Commissioner Wang Zheng and let me arrange for some officers and soldiers to retreat to the 396th Division."
I was wrong. The senior brother and Weng Zheng were both orphans. They grew up together, practiced Kung Fu together, and experienced ups and downs together. Although they are biological siblings, they have not surpassed them for a long time. Although the senior brother is
I also want to be a member of the Fourth Route Army, but I can't bear to leave Lin Xiang alone.
Weng Zheng was not moved at all. You traveled all over the country with the troupe, earning a meager income, living in poverty, and generally being oppressed by all forces. You have already had enough of that kind of life.
I said enviously: "That's really bad. To be honest, you also want to be a member of the Fourth Route Army, but..." Having said that, I shook my head regretfully.
You saluted Mr. Tang and the chief of staff and said, "Sir, a telegram from Commander Yang of the 70th Corps."
After hearing this, the senior disciple's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? If you learn that way, go back and talk to your senior sister. If you refuse, you can become a Fourth Route Army soldier."
Although we worked very hard, we felt very happy. We were willing to do everything.
