On August 24, 1938, the Eighth Route Army issued a statement that Lushan City, located south of Jiujiang, was liberated.
Three liberation announcements were issued in consecutive days. For a time, the morale of the Chinese people to surrender to the army was high.
…
When Zhou Weiguo saw the statement of the Eighth Route Army, he secretly admired in his heart that he led the special forces to lead the recovery of Jiujiang and Huangmei, but he did not participate in the recovery of Lushan City. This truly proves that the Eighth Route Army is a real team to fight against the Japanese. At least.
, will not run away after defeat.
"Master, the devil's messenger is here." Yang Dali ran over and said to Zhou Weiguo.
Afterwards, Zhou Weiguo arrived in a hall. At this time, Bai Chongxi and others were also there. There was a Japanese colonel who was communicating with Bai Chongxi.
Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we are still acquaintances. Mr. Murakami, are you alright?"
When Murakami Guigo saw Zhou Weiguo, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I would meet Zhou Jun again. Zhou Jun is not in Laiyang but in Huangmei. It's really unexpected."
"There is no way, who asked me to speak Japanese. I had no choice but to be captured by the superior." Zhou Weiguo shrugged and said with a smile, "But are your troops sincere this time?"
"Hi, Mr. Zhou, please believe in our sincerity." Murakami Guigo nodded, "The weather is hot now, and our commander, Your Excellency, wants to bury the remains of General Inaba Shiro and others as soon as possible and put them to rest."
"In that case, have you brought any money?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a smile in his eyes. Indeed, the weather is hot. If not treated, the corpse will soon rot. There is no way for the Japanese to give up the heads of so many generals.
If you give up, it will make other generals feel cold. Therefore, they can only be deceived.
"Hi! Five million silver dollars are in these two boxes." Murakami Keigo nodded, and then asked the accompanying soldiers to open the two large wooden boxes. Inside, they were filled with neat silver coins.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Check it out."
Immediately, Gu Feiyan started to look at the silver coins in the box. After a few minutes, Gu Feiyan nodded.
"Hahaha, Mr. Murakami is so trustworthy!" Zhou Weiguo smiled, and then said, "Dali, go and get those heads."
"Okay." Yang Dali responded, then walked out of the hall, and then walked into the hall with 26 soldiers. Each soldier had a tray in his hand, covered with white cloth.
"Mr. Murakami, let's check it out." Zhou Weiguo made an invitation gesture, then sat down on a random seat and looked at Bai Chongxi. He didn't take the 5 million silver dollars seriously, but since Bai Chongxi came out to take the blame,
You have to give money.
Murakami Keigo opened the white cloth one by one, trembling. Several of these people were his acquaintances. After all, he was also a colonel. Before the Anti-Japanese War broke out, many of them were in the same army.
…
"Mr. Zhou, you are right. Then, I will take the warriors back." Murakami Guigo bowed to Zhou Weiguo and said, he knew that this method of asking for ransom must be said by the young man in front of him,
Because this is the second time.
"I won't send it away." Zhou Weiguo said calmly.
After Murakami Guiwu left, Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This time, it is indeed my fault."
"Mr. Bai is serious. The current results are already very good." Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Of the 5 million silver dollars, I will keep 2 million for myself, and I will ask Chief Bai to give the other 2 million to the principal to show my respect.
The country's kindness. There is still 1 million, which can be regarded as hard-earned money for the brothers in the fifth theater."
"Since it is for the chairman of the committee, I will accept it on behalf of the chairman." Bai Chongxi said with a smile, "However, I must not accept the 1 million from the fifth theater."
"No, Chief Bai finally took the blame for me. I must accept this 1 million."
Bai Chongxi thought for a while, then nodded, "Then I'll accept it."
"Well, Weiguo, I won't disturb Chief Bai. Let's take the brothers to rest first." Zhou Weiguo said, and then took the people and money to rest.
…
Yang Dali, who was on the side, had never looked better since Zhou Weiguo distributed 3 million silver dollars, and he kept mumbling.
"Yang Dali, what are you muttering about?" Zhou Weiguo asked, puzzled.
"Master, that's 3 million silver dollars! I have never seen so much money in my life, no, in ten lifetimes!" Yang Dali said dissatisfied.
"Hey, boy, are you very poor now?" Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, "Except for the things you turned in on the battlefield, I will leave them to you. You don't want a wife now, what do you want?
money?"
"No, Master, that's all our Master's money, why did you just give it away like this! You are a prodigal!" Yang Dali slapped him back, angrily refusing to argue.
Zhou Weiguo didn't want to talk to Yang Dali anymore, and then turned to Lin Mingrun and said, "Mingrun, please inform the Eighth Route Army that these 2 million will be used as military expenses for them."
"Master?!" Lin Mingrun was stunned. He never thought that Zhou Weiguo would say this. When Zhou Weiguo gave 2 million to the Kuomintang, he took it for granted. When he gave Bai Chongxi 1 million, he also took it for granted. However, when Zhou Weiguo gave 2 million to the Kuomintang, he took it for granted.
The Eighth Route Army received 2 million, but he was shocked.
"The Eighth Route Army regained Lushan without our help. I actually admire such a team." Zhou Weiguo said seriously, "I also believe that the Eighth Route Army is a real team that fights the Japanese. So, for this part of the money, you inform me
Give them a try."
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Mingrun was moved and saluted Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo had long known his identity as a Communist, but he had never been disliked by anyone in the independent division. He took his soldiers out of Sichuan and
Nanjing was destroyed, and later met Zhou Weiguo and joined Zhou Weiguo's team. After experiencing many things and gaining many touches, Lin Mingrun was once again impressed by Zhou Weiguo.
…
Yan'an
"Hey, I didn't expect that this kid could actually say such a thing." The great man sighed as he smoked a cigarette, "Moreover, he can also provide us with military expenses. Indeed, he is a unique young Kuomintang."
officer."
"Nowadays, our military expenditure is tight, so let's just accept these 2 million." Premier Zhou said with a smile, "This is the boy's wish."
"We liberated Lushan, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, but this little guy's expression is really surprising."
"yes."
"It seems that I can really cooperate with this little guy more in the future."
…
Wuhan
"Hahaha, okay." Lao Jiang touched his head and smiled again. Zhou Weiguo paid him 2 million as a tribute. Although the money was not much, it was his sincerity.
"I really don't know how to reward this little guy, Yunong, please tell me."
"Principal, even the students don't know. Obviously, my junior is not short of money now. He is young and has become a lieutenant general. He is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War in the hearts of the people." Dai Li said with a smile.
"Is he married?"
"It's done, and his wife is already five months pregnant."
"Really?" Lao Jiang smiled, "In that case, I have been wearing this jade pendant for more than ten years. You arrange for someone to deliver it to his wife and say it is for the child. It is me, the principal.
A little thought.”
"Yes!" Although Dai Li was shocked, he still accepted the order.
