In the conference room of Dahuai Village, Wang Xuexin saw Su Xin unexpectedly. He stepped forward with surprise and joy and asked, "Director Su, why are you here?"
The surrounding group leaders immediately began to boo, and Su Xin's face turned red with embarrassment and she was speechless.
Fortunately, Li Yunlong came to the door, stared at the cadres who were making noises and cursed: "What are you talking about? The couple has been busy with their own affairs and hasn't been able to see each other for several months. You all look at it with jealousy.
Or what? If you can, just go and hold one by yourself!"
The cadres did not argue with Li Yunlong, they just laughed "hehe".
Li Yunlong raised his head to Su Xin carelessly and said: "Director Su, just say whatever you have to say. You say what you say, and we say what we say. Anyway, we roughnecks can't understand anything!"
The cadres burst into laughter again.
This made Su Xin even more speechless, so she whispered to Wang Xuexin: "I'll talk to you later, let's have a meeting first!"
Then he hid in a corner as if running away.
After a while, the chief and the chief of staff walked into the conference room. The chief's face was very solemn, as if something bad had happened.
Sure enough, after the chief of staff raised his hand to signal the cadres to be quiet, he said: "Comrades, not long ago we confirmed information that Sun Liangcheng, deputy commander-in-chief of the stubborn Jicha Theater, led more than 6,000 people in his department to surrender to the Wang Puppet Government!
"
These words immediately caused a commotion in the conference room.
Wang Xuexin didn't know Sun Liangcheng very well. As a modern man, he was familiar with the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, but he couldn't name a few of the traitors who surrendered to the Japanese.
Later, Wang Xuexin learned that Sun Liangcheng was also a celebrity in this era, because he was once one of the "Thirteen Taibao" of the Feng clan and one of the "Five Tiger Generals", and was also highly used in the stubborn army.
Li Yunlong asked a little strangely: "Let me tell you, has this Sun Liangcheng been kicked in the head by a donkey? If you surrender to the Japanese at this time, even if you don't think about your country, you should think about yourself. How many more days can you surrender to the Japanese?"
Have a good life?"
Wang Xuexin understood what Li Yunlong said.
If we say that those who surrendered to the Japs before became traitors, it is because they thought that China could not defeat the Japs and went to glory, wealth and survival.
But at this time, the Japs have already started a war with Yingjiang. Everyone knows that the Japs will lose sooner or later. Under such circumstances, what is the purpose of the Japs taking the initiative to lead troops to surrender?
The result of doing this is not only to be called a "traitor", but also when the Japanese are defeated, they will be liquidated.
(Note: Sun Liangcheng was not liquidated. After the war, the stubborn army continued to reuse these puppet surrendered generals)
Therefore, this decision should be said to be very unwise.
The chief of staff explained: "I heard that this is what happened. Sun Liangcheng was originally supposed to be appointed concurrently as the commander of the 69th Army, but someone else was appointed at the last minute. Sun Liangcheng was dissatisfied, so he led his troops to surrender to the Japanese!"
When Wang Xuexin heard this, he understood that it turned out to be a power and factional struggle within the stubborn army.
This is the character of the recalcitrant army. Fortunately, if the war is tense, there will be less internal factional fighting... If the war eases a little, the struggle will soon surface.
However, no matter what, we cannot choose to surrender to the Wang Puppet, especially the deputy commander-in-chief of a war zone like this. Once he surrenders, he will bring all kinds of information that is beneficial to the Japanese and cause a huge blow to the morale of the stubborn army.
When Wang Xuexin thought of this, he understood. No wonder the Japanese planned to cross the Yellow River to fight against the stubborn army.
The commander continued what the chief of staff said: "The impact of this incident was very bad. The Japanese immediately appointed Sun Liangcheng as the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people. The Japanese bombed the south bank of the Yellow River, probably hoping to take advantage of the victory.
Defeat the stubborn army!"
After a pause, the leader added: "We also received an intelligence report that the Japanese had discussed whether to attack Zhongtiao Mountain first or attack the stubborn army first. The result they got was that it was obviously more cost-effective to attack the stubborn army..."
"That's right!" Li Yunlong proudly continued: "It's easy to defeat the stubborn army and collect the equipment, but the Eighth Route Army is tough to defeat. Not only is it difficult to defeat, but it is also very poor. We only have a pair of broken straw sandals all over our body. If we want to fight,
Take it!"
The leader nodded slightly and said: "That's pretty much it. Another point is that the Japanese have obtained a lot of valuable information from Sun Liangcheng. If this information is not used now, it will be invalidated by the recalcitrant army over time. So, now,
It can basically be confirmed that the Japanese have turned their target to the stubborn army!"
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room. Some people thought that this was a good thing for the Eighth Route Army, because the Japanese had to deal with the stubborn army, which meant that they could not launch an attack on Zhongtiao Mountain for the time being. This would give Zhongtiao Mountain more time to prepare.
Some people think this is not a good thing, and Ding Wei is one of them.
Ding Wei stood up and said: "If the Japs successfully cross the Yellow River, our army's pincer attack on the Japs on the north bank of the Yellow River will no longer exist. On the contrary, our connection with the stubborn army may be completely cut off, including the transportation road to Xi'an.
We may also be bombed and threatened, and then we are likely to completely lose contact with the outside world! Therefore, I think we should cooperate with the stubborn army to fight so that it cannot take care of both ends!"
The chief agreed: "The fight must be instilled, the question is how to fight!"
The chief of staff held up a baton made of thin bamboo and pointed at the map and said: "If we want to fight, we have to go south from the favorable terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain to attack the Japanese rear defense line. This area is mostly plains and is not the strength of our army. In addition,
On the one hand, all our training and preparations during this period are aimed at mountain operations in Zhongtiao Mountain..."
As he spoke, the chief of staff turned his attention to Wang Xuexin.
The mountain troops were formed by Wang Xuexin, and they also had anti-aircraft artillery tactics and so on. They were aimed either at the mountains or near Yuncheng. If they were temporarily moved to the south of Zhongtiao Mountain, all preparations would undoubtedly come to nothing.
The leader continued: "This is probably one of the goals of the devils, to separate our army from the stubborn army and prevent our army from obtaining more supplies and even cooperation with the stubborn army. So today we have invited the directors of each arsenal to
Come, let’s discuss what equipment we need urgently or will need urgently in the future. If the stubborn army loses the battle and the Japanese succeed, there will be difficulties in transportation!”
Then Wang Xuexin understood why Su Xin was also called to the meeting.
Zhang Wanhe stood up and raised his head, then turned his attention to Wang Xuexin and said: "We have discussed this matter. When it comes to what is lacking in the future, I think the person who can best speak up should be Xiao Dongbei! Now...all of us
I feel satisfied. I have never seen so many good equipments. How can I be dissatisfied?"
So everyone turned their attention to Wang Xuexin again.
Wang Xuexin hesitated for a while, then stood up and said: "Commander, I'm thinking that we may have misunderstood. This may be the Japanese luring the snake out of its cave to attack in the east, and their target is Zhongtiao Mountain!"
