Just when Xu Rui and Di Gua were riding horses towards Guisui, Leng Tiefeng, who was far away in Guisui, had already received a telegram from Xu Rui through a secret radio station. There was only one sentence written on the telegram, asking Leng Tiefeng to
Feng ordered the troops of the Chahar Independent Regiment to set up a cordon against Jingyun's headquarters outside the city.
Although he didn't understand Xu Rui's intention, Leng Tiefeng immediately summoned several battalion commanders of the Chahar Independent Regiment for a meeting. Ma Fei, Bart, Cheng Luming, Li Zhengrong and Zhao Hao were among the four.
The battalion commanders also didn't understand Xu Rui's intentions. They were still wondering, why did they suddenly fall out with the 35th Army?
However, despite their confusion, the four battalion commanders still resolutely carried out the order.
After an army is formed, there will be a running-in period, but by now, the running-in period of the Chahar Independent Regiment has long ended, and the running-in effect is very good! It is no wonder that with Xu Rui, who can fight,
A commander who knows how to fight and knows how to care for his subordinates, what else is there to be unsatisfied about?
Now, even if Xu Rui asks them to arrest Fu Zuoyi directly, they will resolutely carry out the order.
Soon, the Chahar Independent Regiment sent out a large number of reconnaissance cavalry and began to wander outside the city and around Wei Jingyun's camp.
When Wei Jingyun saw the report, he didn't believe it at first. How could it be possible? The two families were obviously friendly forces, and they had worked together to fight the Japs a few hours ago, and the cooperation was good. At least Wei Jingyun felt that the cooperation was very good.
Well, the only thing that made him feel unhappy was that the Chahar Independent Regiment refused to let him enter the city.
Therefore, when he received the report, Wei Jingyun still didn't believe it.
However, when Wei Jingyun came outside the camp and took a look, he was immediately stunned.
Damn it, the Chahar Independent Regiment really put out a cordon towards them!
Wei Jingyun immediately became alert. He had smelled a strange smell in the air. He ordered everyone to be more vigilant and made an urgent call to the headquarters of Baichuan Fort to ask Fu Zuoyi for instructions on the next step, which was to evacuate from Guisui as soon as possible.
Or should we immediately attack the Chahar Independent Regiment?
Anyway, the status quo cannot be maintained.
…
Baichuan Fort, Headquarters of the 35th Army.
Ye Qijie had already returned to the war room. Before he could take a breath, Fu Zuoyi asked eagerly: "Brother Xinwu, have you found Brother Xu?"
"No." Ye Qijie shook his head and said, "I have searched everywhere I can, but I can't find it."
Fu Zuoyi's brows immediately tightened and he murmured: "Where will this kid go?"
Ye Qijie immediately brought up the old conversation again: "Chief Commander, I think you should send a telegram to Wei Jingyun. You don't need to say anything else, but it is necessary to remind them to be more vigilant."
Fu Zuoyi hesitated, but at this moment, a communications staff officer hurried in.
"Chief!" the communications staff reported. "The General Guards sent an urgent message saying that the Chahar Independent Regiment suddenly released a cordon towards them."
"What?"
"The cordon has been released?"
"This is clearly a signal to take action!"
"Does the Chahar Independent Group really want to turn against us?"
Several senior counselors present heard this and looked at each other for a moment.
The communications staff officer then said: "General, the situation is urgent. The Commander-in-Chief of the Guard is anxiously waiting for the next step. Should he evacuate Guisui immediately, or should he counterattack on the spot to disarm the Chahar Independent Regiment and take over Guisui City?"
Fu Zuoyi is still a little hesitant, because it is difficult to make this determination. If he evacuates, he will undoubtedly show weakness to the Chahar Independent Group, and will hand over control of Guisui to the other party. As the provincial chairman of Guisui Province
, Fu Zuoyi could not tolerate the control of the provincial capital falling into the hands of others.
But if he really took action, Fu Zuoyi would not dare.
Because what Xu Rui said is right. Now is indeed the most difficult time for the 35th Army. Even if Fu Zuoyi really plans to attack the Chahar Independent Regiment, he will never choose this time! But the problem is, continue to maintain the status quo.
The risk is indeed very high, because no one can guarantee that the Chahar Independent Regiment will not attack the 35th Army!
According to normal military logic, the Chahar Independent Regiment should launch an attack after releasing a cordon and spying on Wei Jingyun's defense deployment and firepower configuration! Logically speaking, Fu Zuoyi did not think that Xu Rui really dared to take action.
Still prefer to believe that this is just a threat from Xu Rui, the purpose is to force him to commit the crime.
Ye Qijie saw Fu Zuoyi's hesitation, shook his head and said: "Mr. Sir, I am more willing to believe that this is just Xu Rui's negotiation method, but you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If this is not Xu Rui's negotiation method,
If this guy really decides to attack Wei Jingyun's men, it would be too dangerous for Wei Jingyun's men to continue to stay in Guisui."
After a pause, Ye Qijie continued: "We must not rely on the safety of Wei Jingyun's unit on Xu Rui's personal integrity and character. After all, this kid once killed the 32nd Army without saying hello.
He has a criminal record! Who can guarantee that he will not repeat his old tricks?"
Ye Qijie's words are very lethal.
Yes, Xu Rui is a man who can kill an entire army with just one disagreement!
Fu Zuoyi's facial muscles twitched twice, but he finally showed a look of frustration and said: "Call Wei Jingyun's headquarters and order them to retreat twenty miles immediately and break away from the Chahar Independent Regiment! In addition, if Chahar
As the Chahar Independent Group continues to approach and creates trouble, we should be as tolerant as possible. We must not fire the first shot! To paraphrase what the Communist Party said, in the confrontation with the Chahar Independent Group, we must be reasonable and reasonable.
Festival."
The communications staff member remembered Fu Zuoyi's instructions and turned around.
Seeing the communications staff officer leave, Fu Zuoyi sighed, slumped back on his chair, then turned back to Ye Qijie who was standing next to him and said, "Brother Xinwu, do you know what it means to do this?"
"I know." Ye Qijie nodded and said with a wry smile, "In this case, it is equivalent to giving up the initiative of negotiation to Xu Rui. From now on, he is the only one who can make conditions, but we
We have lost the right to counteroffer because he has seen the trump card we hold in our hands: we dare not fall out with them!"
Fu Zuoyi suddenly sneered and said: "I heard others say before that Xu Rui is not a man willing to suffer losses. I didn't really believe it, but now I believe it. This guy really doesn't want to suffer losses! No matter it is
Neither his enemies nor his friendly forces can even think of taking advantage of him."
Ye Qijie nodded and said with a sigh: "Yes, I was deceived by this guy in my humble position before. In the past few days when this guy temporarily served as the chief of staff of our 35th Army, I really had an illusion, as if this guy
This guy is just a gentleman who would rather consider the overall situation than personal gain. Who knew that this was not the case at all? He is so blind, hehe."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded: "That's why I said, you can't believe the Communist Party!"
Fu Zuoyi frowned, and when he and Ye Qijie looked back, they saw Yao Dahai walking in.
However, what surprised the two of them was that there was someone following Yao Dahai, an incredibly beautiful and fashionable woman with a camera on her chest. It seemed that she was a reporter. Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie relied on themselves.
I only glanced at him and looked away, but the eyes of those senior counselors were straightened.
Yao Dahai thought to himself and said: "Chief, I have just heard about what Xu Rui did. This shows how correct my previous judgment of him was. This guy has no good intentions from the beginning.
His purpose is to use our 35th Army to defeat the Japanese and then profit from it."
After a pause, Yao Dahai continued: "So, we must not let Xu get his wish. I think that we should immediately mobilize all the troops of the 35th Army to start a decisive battle with the Chahar Independent Regiment! In this way, not only can
It is logical to take back the governance power of Suiyuan Province, and we can also take the opportunity to eliminate the threat of the Communist Party to Suiyuan Province."
"Commissioner Yao." Fu Zuoyi couldn't help but interrupt, "You are a supervisory committee member sent by the Central Committee. Your duty is to supervise the operation of the Central Party Headquarters in Suiyuan. As for the military command of the North Route Army or the 35th Army,
I won’t bother you with this.” After saying that, he turned to Ye Qijie and said, “Brother Xin, please immediately send someone to send Commissioner Yao back to rest.”
Ye Qijie took a step forward and said, "Commissioner Yao, please go back and rest first."
Both Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie were a little too lazy to deal with Yao Dahai. They started an all-out war with the Chahar Independent Regiment. It was easy to say it, and it was also easy to start a war. But the question was, how would it end? With the current situation of the 35th Army, do they still want to
Take the opportunity to deal with the Communist Party? Just laugh if you don’t get disarmed by the Communist Party in the end.
Yao Dahai could sense the hostility between Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie, so he groaned, turned around and walked away.
But the woman who came with Yao Dahai did not leave, so Ye Qijie said: "And this lady, please go back with Commissioner Yao."
"Commissioner Yao?" the woman said, "I have nothing to do with him. I am Xiang Ying, a war correspondent of the Central News Agency. This time I came to Baichuan Fort to conduct an exclusive interview with Mr. Xu Rui. Is Mr. Xu Rui here?"
Ye Qijie explained patiently: "I'm very sorry, Reporter Xiang, Mr. Xu Rui is not here."
"Not here?" Xiang Ying curled her lips and said, "Don't lie to me. I have known for a long time that Mr. Xu Rui has been temporarily appointed as the Chief of Staff of the 35th Army by Chief Fu. In fact, this time Wuyuan
He was the one who commanded it, otherwise, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have achieved such a great victory, am I right?”
Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie looked a little embarrassed.
No matter who you are, you will never feel happy if you are slapped in the face by others.
At that moment, Ye Qijie's tone became a little impatient and said: "Reporter Xiang, what you said may be true. The problem is that Mr. Xu Rui is indeed not here now, and we are also looking for him." After saying that, Ye Qijie turned to a tall man again.
Shen said, "Counsel Wang, please personally send Reporter Xiang to the Sihai Inn to rest."
"Yes!" Gao Shen, surnamed Wang, immediately came forward in a hurry.
