The headquarters has not held a meeting for a while, not even the summary meeting of the Yuncheng Battle.
This is mainly because immediately after the Battle of Yuncheng, the troops were intensively stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain and resuming work for iron smelting and copper smelting. The army, cadres and workers were all very busy.
On the other hand, it is also because Zhongtiao Mountain is a bit far away from the headquarters... In fact, the distance is not that far, only about 80 kilometers.
But it takes more than an hour to go down the mountain, and then there are highways and mountain roads. It takes more than half a day to reach these 80 kilometers.
In this situation, it would not be so easy to gather all the group leaders for a meeting.
However, this time the commander still convened a meeting. Needless to say why, Yingjiang was actually willing to provide assistance to the Eighth Route Army...
The leader couldn't believe it for a while. He asked several times in the telegram: "Is it true? A loan of ten million US dollars? This is not a small amount!"
"Chief!" Li Yunlong called back: "How dare I joke with the chief about this matter? I have already confirmed it with Yingjiang...named Sun Erwei. This is indeed the case! According to Sun Erwei, there is part of the reason for this.
It's Yingjiang who owes Xiao Dongbei a big favor!"
"There's still this thing!" The chief sounded a little strange: "What kind of favor?"
"I asked!" Li Yunlong replied: "But they said this is a military secret, and they told us not to ask more questions. Anyway, it's just Xiao Dongbei who has made meritorious deeds!"
The tactics proposed by Wang Xuexin are indeed confidential to Yingjiang.
Because tactics are often a matter of "one foot high, one foot high, one foot high". Today, Yingjiang has developed a set of effective tactics to deal with the devils. Tomorrow, when the devils are fighting and realize that something is wrong, they will develop another set of effective tactics to fight against them.
A tactic of tactics.
However, if some tactics are known to the enemy and formulate corresponding countermeasures before they are fully applied tactically, it will have a huge impact on the morale and morale of the Yingjiang pilots.
At this time, Yingjiang is fighting against the wind. From the beginning of the war to now, Yingjiang has been at a disadvantage. Yingjiang needs a boost in military morale and morale, and even needs a decent victory to boost the confidence of the people...
This is also the reason why Hawk Sauce launched an air raid on Tokyo a few months after the war began.
(Note: The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December, and the Japanese air raided Tokyo in April of the following year)
In fact, this air raid only had symbolic significance. Only 16 bombers were dispatched in total, and they were the kind that would never return... The flight range was not enough to return, so they could only fly to China and parachute.
But this air raid could boost the morale of all soldiers and civilians from the depression of being suppressed and beaten by the Japanese, and prepare for the big battle in the future.
Therefore, Yingjiang was cautious enough when facing the new tactics proposed by Wang Xuexin.
Sun Erwei told Wang Xuexin: "Wang, I hope that the communication between us will not be leaked to the outside world, including your superiors!"
Wang Xuexin was in a bit of a dilemma. He was a member of the Eighth Route Army, and it seemed inappropriate to conceal military information from his superiors.
Sun Erwei also thought of this, and he added: "At least your superiors, I will discuss this issue with them!"
Then Sun Erwei really ran to find Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters is located three miles away from the back of the mountain. Before the road was opened, he had to walk entirely. In some places, he even had to use his hands and feet to climb up... This was commonplace for the Eighth Route Army, but it was a source of bitterness for intelligence officers like Sun Erwei.
.
But this is not the point. Sun Erwei said to Li Yunlong: "Captain Li, maybe you have heard about the 10 million US dollars in aid."
Li Yunlong nodded calmly: "Comrade Sun Erwei, that's right! The Japs are our common enemy. Let's help each other defeat the little Japs. It will be a good thing for everyone! It's not like the prodigal sons of the stubborn army.
, those who are still flirting with the devils secretly when they are not doing business... you are considered a sensible person!"
Li Yunlong's reply was neither humble nor arrogant. Even Zhao Gang, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly.
That's not what Sun Erwei wanted to say. He replied: "What I want to say is that this aid and even subsequent aid are conditional. The exchange between Battalion Commander Wang and us involves the country's military secrets. For confidentiality reasons,
I hope your army will not ask about this issue! Otherwise, we will cancel our assistance!"
"No problem!" Li Yunlong agreed immediately: "This matter is your business, we have no intention of watching the excitement!"
But Li Yunlong said it nicely, but he was actually reluctant to part with the US$10 million in aid.
As soon as Sun Erwei left, he asked Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, what do you think this little Northeast... can do? This Yingjiang even used 10 million US dollars in aid as a condition to keep it secret!"
Zhao Gang immediately laughed: "Look at you, you just said you couldn't ask, didn't you?"
Li Yunlong was a little embarrassed by what Zhao Gang said, and he replied twice: "We are just making a guess here, and we are not asking Xiao Dongbei!"
Zhao Gang said seriously: "Although I don't know what it is, I guess it probably has nothing to do with our army but involves Yingjiang's military secrets. Once leaked, it will cause irreparable losses to Yingjiang. They did this
It’s excusable!”
Zhao Gang said: "I think we should trust Xiao Dongbei on this matter. If there is anything that involves the interests of our army, Xiao Dongbei will definitely not keep the secret for Yingjiang!"
"Believe it, of course I believe it!" Li Yunlong stood up with his eyes wide open, waved his hand and said: "This guy won the battle for us and equipped us, and now he has gotten such a large amount of aid... I don't believe he can still believe it.
Who is it?"
Then Li Yunlong softened again: "But this thing is hanging there without knowing it, and my heart is like a cat's claws scratching it! Damn Xiao Dongbei, after the battle, I have to catch him and ask him everything!"
"
After saying that, he lowered his head and folded his hands, sitting on the kang and sulking. This made Zhao Gang laugh out loud, secretly thinking that if there was anyone in the team who could cure Li Yunlong, it was Xiao Dongbei.
The chief responded to this matter simply.
The chief said this: "We know what kind of person Xiao Dongbei is. This guy is probably making suggestions about Yingjiang! It's not easy. If this can reverse Yingjiang's defeat, then we have to remember
A great achievement!"
As a commander, the leader must of course have an overview of the overall situation and understand the situation on overseas battlefields, knowing that Yingjiang did not perform satisfactorily on the Pacific battlefield.
So I guessed almost immediately.
At the same time, if Yingjiang can win the war, it will definitely be good for the Chinese battlefield.
Therefore, the chief sees no reason to object.
Not only should we not object, but we should also keep Yingjiang a secret.
And the best way to keep it secret is to "don't know".
