Xiang Ying, Cheng Yi and others were already standing at the door of the headquarters. Xiang Ying's mood was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he was happy to see Zhou Guansheng again, and on the other hand, he was depressed about Ye Ting's return. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to
When Ye Ting came back, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about Ye Ting's old officer style.
"Coming, Commander Ye and Vice Chairman Zhou are here." A soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted. Xiang Ying and others arranged their uniforms and stood in two rows.
I only saw Ye Ting wearing an ordinary New Fourth Army uniform and leggings, and Zhou Guansheng next to him was wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform. Both of them were elegant and handsome men. They walked over while talking and laughing. Xiang Ying first said to Zhou Guansheng
He saluted, "Hello, Vice Chairman Zhou, welcome to the New Fourth Army to guide the work." Then he hummed to Ye Ting a little coldly, "Commander Ye hasn't been back for a long time. Did you learn a lot of new camera techniques this time?"
Ye Ting's face turned livid after hearing this. He looked at the people behind Xiang Ying, took out a note from his arms and said, "I went to Wuhan this time to get our military expenditure for this year from Chiang's agent. You can get it immediately."
After saying that, he handed the golden ticket to the logistics department staff standing behind Xiang Ying and said, "Okay, now our military expenses have arrived. Vice Chairman Zhou finally came to our place. Let's go in and talk." After that, Ye Ting said
He took the lead and walked into the headquarters compound.
Seeing that Ye Ting actually received military funds, some of the New Fourth Army officers behind Xiang Ying nodded in praise, some were expressionless, and some were dismissive, which was interesting.
Zhou Guansheng looked at everyone's expressions, especially the veins on Xiang Ying's forehead, and sighed in his heart. He never expected that the cracks within the New Fourth Army had reached this level.
The New Fourth Army has been in the south for a long time. Although they don't have much money, they can easily obtain fish, shrimp and aquatic products. Zhou Guansheng took a nice sip of fish soup and said to Xiang Ying who was sitting next to him, "What's wrong? Why don't you eat it?"
Xiang Ying took a bite and said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, I know why you are here. I am indeed responsible for Ye Ting's departure this time, but more importantly, Ye Ting has no consciousness of being the commander of our New Fourth Army. The old officer
The aura is extremely strong. Yes, I admit that Ye Ting can fight, but are there few warlords who know how to fight? Can Wu Peifu know how to fight? Why don't you ask him to do it!"
"Ding~~" Zhou Guansheng placed the metal lunch box heavily on the table, glared at Xiang Ying and said, "Are you still reasonable? Do you still know that you are a party member and a soldier? Ye Ting is a person with white skin and a red heart.
, he sold out all his property for the New Fourth Army, do you still doubt him? If you can't even tolerate him, who else can Xiang Ying tolerate? Why do you always feel that you are right? You have not stood up
Do you want to think about it on the other side?"
Xiang Ying lowered his head and said, "I don't accept it. Yes, Ye Ting is very good, but our New Fourth Army was fought in the guerrilla war in the south for several years. Let's not talk about his escape, let's talk about our soldiers. We are all fighting against Japan.
For the sake of national justice, we put aside our hatred for the landlords, old wealth, and the old warlords to carry this blue sky and white sun emblem, but now that we are led by a person with such a style, how can everyone feel comfortable?"
Zhou Guansheng nodded and asked, "What you said makes sense, but have you noticed that he is wearing an ordinary military uniform this time? Comrade Ye Ting has noticed his problem and is moving closer to our demands. Haven't you noticed?"
"
Xiang Ying opened his mouth but said nothing.
Zhou Guansheng poured a cup of tea for Xiang Ying and said, "You are an old master. You have studied for so many years. You should know what the unity of opposites is and what materialist dialectics is. Ye Ting can be said to be a person who has been with us for most of his life. If it is because
You drove him to the opposite side. I want to see how you explain to everyone whether you still want to persist in the anti-Japanese united front?"
Zhou Guansheng watched Xiang Ying remain silent and sighed in his heart. He knew that Xiang Ying had always been very opinionated. The reconciliation between the two people would ultimately require them to get along slowly.
Zhou Guansheng continued, "This time I am here to convey the spirit of the Central Committee. The New Fourth Army will establish a military committee. Ye Ting will be the chairman, and you and Comrade Chen Yi will be the vice-chairmen. All strategic actions must be resolved by the committee. I will speak at the conference tomorrow.
This was announced."
Xiang Ying frowned, but in the end he said nothing.
Seeing Xiang Ying like this, Zhou Guansheng knew that he needed to give some time, so he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, I learned from Ye Ting that you sent troops eastward, which is indeed a good idea. Now most of the Japs are on the Wuhan front.
There is a lot of emptiness here in Jiangsu."
Xiang Ying nodded and said, "This is what Wuhan means. I also asked the fourth detachment to cross the Yangtze River and go north."
When Zhou Guansheng heard this, he immediately became anxious and said, "Xiangbei? How did you let them cross the river? Now your equipment is no match for the Japanese army. Once the Japanese army blocks the Yangtze River, what will happen to the fourth detachment alone in the north of the river?"
Xiang Ying said hesitantly, "This is an order from Wuhan. It is not convenient for us to refuse."
Zhou Guansheng couldn't help but stamp his feet and shouted, "What does it mean to refuse inconveniently? Do you still obey unreasonable orders? Where are the troops? By the way, how has your development been this year? How many people are there?"
Xiang Ying said awkwardly, "We have crossed the Yangtze River. We now have more than 50,000 people, and our expansion is pretty good."
Zhou Guansheng touched his head and expressed his helplessness. You must know that the Eighth Route Army has now exceeded the 500,000 mark, but Zhou Guansheng also knew that the south was different from the north with Jiang Cheng's support.
Zhou Guansheng raised three fingers and said, "I will talk about three principles for military operations. First, wherever there is emptiness, we will go to that place to develop; second, wherever there is danger, we will go to that place to create new areas of activity; third, which place
Where there are only enemy and puppet troops, and friendly troops pay little attention and do not move around, we will develop there. In short, we should expand ourselves and seek development while resisting the Japanese and the Japanese."
Xiang Ying said with some embarrassment, "In this case, we need Wuhan's approval. Otherwise, if we just enter other people's guerrilla zones, we may be in trouble."
Zhou Guansheng said seriously to Xiang Ying, "Comrade Xiang Ying, I think you need to learn what it means to seek unity through struggle, and unity will survive, and to seek unity through concessions, and unity will perish! If you have always had this idea of worrying about Wuhan in everything, then
Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss, do you remember He Ming?"
When Xiang Ying heard this name, he couldn't help but lower his head. The He Ming incident happened in July 1937. Before the final agreement was reached between the red and white, he took his troops down the mountain to be reorganized in advance, but was disarmed by the National Army.
More than ten officers were massacred.
Xiang Ying naturally knew about this, and he argued, "Our anti-Japanese united front had not yet been established at that time, so it would naturally be like this, but it will not be the case now."
Zhou Guansheng hesitated and said, "I think you should go to Yan'an to have a look. The current situation is actually very different from what you thought."
Xiang Ying didn't understand. She just thought she wanted him to study. Although Xiang Ying was a little dissatisfied, she could only say, "I am willing to obey the organization's arrangements."

Okamura Neiji could no longer fish safely on the Yangtze River. He had not received a telegram from the 106th Division for three days. The last telegram was to report to him that they were surrounded by the National Army. Although the plane's reconnaissance
It said that the 106th Division was still fighting, but Okamura Neiji knew that the 106th Division could not hold on for long.
"Why hasn't the 101st Division broken through the National Army's defense line yet?" Neji Okamura said impatiently.
A staff officer pointed to the map and said, "China has concentrated three armies with a total of more than 50,000 people to block our attack. The terrain here is mountainous and rivery, so our army's progress is relatively slow."
Okamura Neiji slapped the table and shouted, "We don't have time to attack with bayonets. We order the use of special bullets. Send all the special bullets. How many special bullets do we have?"
The staff officer looked at it and said, "Including small special bombs such as grenades, there are still 80,000."
Without saying a word, Okamura Neiji quickly wrote down an order and said, "Deploy 70,000 troops to De'an and fight them all out. We must rescue the 106th Division!"
The Japanese army has carried a large number of poison gas bombs to fight in China since the July 7th Incident. The reason why they were not used on a large scale in the previous battles is because poison gas bombs will often hurt people and themselves if used improperly, while the Japanese army can often get them by using conventional weapons.
Victory, and in the Battle of Wuhan, facing up to 1.5 million Nationalist troops, the Japanese army also had experience in using poison gas bombs and began to issue poison gas bombs to various units on a large scale. The Second Army and the Twelfth Army alone received more than 30
Tens of thousands of gas bombs, and in order to cope with these gas bombs, the Japanese army even had gas masks on hand.
In a cave in the Nanlu Mountain, Matsuura looked anxiously at the radio station being repaired in front of him. During the fierce battle, the radio station accidentally fell to the ground, and it has not been able to resume work until now.
"Didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi, didi," the voice sounded again, which made Matsuura look forward to seeing him.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the radio station has been repaired." A Japanese soldier shouted happily.
"Quickly, send a message to the Commander for tactical guidance!!" Matsuura shouted anxiously.
"Your Excellency, division commander, the commander ordered us to use special bombs." The communications soldier quickly translated a telegram and said to Matsuura.
Matsuura looked at it, nodded and said, "The terrain here in the mountainous area is complicated, and poisonous gases tend to gather and not disperse. It is indeed a good place to use special bombs. Immediately gather the remaining special bombs, find a good wind outlet, use special bombs, and shoot
Exit and send a separate message to the commander explaining our plan.

Jiang Cheng looked at the small machine in front of him and couldn't believe that it was a machine that could reload bullets. Jiang Cheng touched it and asked Sun Ning, "Is that it? It's amazing. It's so small."
The machine in front of him was about the size of a jack and was very light. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but giggle as he thought about the guerrillas carrying this machine to support themselves.
Sun Ning skillfully put a handful of gunpowder into a small jar, placed it on the upper part of the machine, aligned the cartridge case, loaded the gunpowder, and pressed it down, and a bullet was formed.
Sun Ning threw the bullet to Jiang Cheng and said, "This thing can adjust the height and caliber of the bullet. It's rare. In the United States, two generations must be American citizens to be eligible to buy it, and you can only have one like this in your life."
of."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but asked curiously, "Then how did you buy so many?"
Sun Ning snorted mysteriously and said, "Who knows, don't you think so?"
Jiang Cheng turned his head disdainfully and said, "If you don't tell me, forget it, then I'll leave. How about you prepare the books quickly and I'll pick them up when I come back next time?"
Sun Ningjiao walked forward with a smile, kissed Jiang Cheng and said, "Okay, go back quickly, I'm still waiting for you to come back."
Jiang Cheng shrugged and asked Sun Ning to leave the warehouse. After Sun Ning closed the door, Jiang Cheng activated the space ball and returned to Yan'an.
Sun Ning waited for half an hour and carefully opened the warehouse door. He found that Jiang Cheng and a large amount of supplies had disappeared, and he couldn't help waving his arms.
"It's true, okay, Jiang Cheng, I will wait until the day you help me realize my wish," Sun Ning closed the door tightly, looked at the crescent moon, and left with a smile.
Jiang Cheng looked at Mr. Zhu, Liu Ding and others in front of him and said with a smile, "How is it? This is not bad, right?"
Mr. Zhu looked at Xiao Wang, Li Qian, Bashun and others in front of him who were all playing with the machine. Li Qian was the fastest and could reload bullets very skillfully, while Bashuna was trembling with fear for fear of destroying the machine.
broken.
"Although it cannot be mass-produced, it is suitable for the various troops below. In case of any special circumstances, they still have the ability to replenish their own blood." Mr. Zhu said with a satisfied laugh.
Liu Ding also smiled and said, "Although this machine looks simple, it is still a bit difficult to manufacture. However, our machine tools are good, so you can give it a try."
Mr. Zhu hummed and said, "Xiao Jiang, you have been here for so long, is there any good news?"
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing, they are all light weapons. I have ordered equipment that can arm at least 150,000 people."
Mr. Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Okay, our troops are developing very fast in Hebei and other places. It's just when we need weapons. Xiao Jiang, you are helping us in times of need."
Jiang Cheng shook his hand and said, "No, this is the icing on the cake. By the way, how is the battle situation now?"
When Mr. Zhu saw that Liu Ding and others had gone to study the machine far away, he said, "The Japanese army has already invaded Jiujiang. I think Xue Yue will soon prepare to give the Japanese army a hard blow in De'an."
Jiang Cheng figured it out and said, "Time is running out. I will ask them to hurry up. How is our air force doing?"
Mr. Zhu said with some pride, "The airport has been completed, and many pilots have returned one after another. They are training intensively. We finally have our own air force."
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "That's good, then I'll go see Yishan and go back when the time is up."
