At the same time, the newly formed 31st Division headquarters in Baotou.
After the victory of the Wuyuan Battle, the territory controlled by the Thirty-fifth Army or the North Route Army in the World War II Zone greatly increased. The original division of defense zones was somewhat unrealistic. Fu Zuoyi immediately adjusted the defense. Baotou and several surrounding areas
The county became the defense area of General Sun Lanfeng's newly formed 31st Division.
Sun Lanfeng doesn't have a good impression of the Communist Party, but he doesn't have any bad feelings either. However, he still feels very unhappy about the current tense situation between the Chahar Independent Regiment and the 35th Army. He feels that Xu Rui has gone too far. Guisui
As the provincial capital of Suiyuan Province, it is impossible to give it away.
I felt unhappy and my tone of voice was a little harsh.
General Sun Lanfeng has become lame in one leg due to an injury he suffered in his early years.
Limping into the division headquarters, General Sun Lanfeng sat down on the stool again, then lit a cigarette and said: "I said Chief of Staff Xu, what you did this time is really not good." General Sun Lanfeng pointed.
Yes, Xu Rui dominated Guisui and refused to return it to the 35th Army.
"Brother Wanjiu is wrong." Xu Rui shook his head.
Xu Rui had great respect for General Sun Lanfeng himself, not only because he was a warrior on the anti-Japanese battlefield, but also because of his profound sense of justice. At the last moment of the Liberation War, he peacefully revolted in Suiyuan and avoided more disasters.
Bloodshed and sacrifice preserved precious vitality for the Chinese nation.
However, respecting General Sun Lanfeng does not mean that Xu Rui agrees with his views. What's more, at this time, General Sun was still the senior general of the Sui Army and represented the position of the Suiyuan Kuomintang.
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Brothers are still settling accounts, not to mention that you and I are just friendly forces. Therefore, since Guisui City was captured by our Chahar Independent Regiment, it should naturally belong to us.
For example, this Baotou was captured by your 35th Army, and I didn’t ask you for Baotou, right?”
General Sun Lanfeng became anxious when he heard this and said angrily: "How can this be confused? Baotou was bought by our 35th Army with the blood of tens of thousands of brothers, why should we give it to you?"
Xu Rui then said: "Guisui was bought by our Chahar Independent Group in exchange for the lives of dozens of brothers. Why should we give up Guisui to you?"
"Can dozens of people be the same as tens of thousands of people?" General Sun Lanfeng said angrily.
Xu Rui said coldly: "It is true that the death of dozens of people is different from the death of tens of thousands of people, but just because your 35th Army has many casualties, you can't let your 35th Army take the majority, right?"
"Of course this won't work. It's not a glorious thing to have so many people die." General Sun Lanfeng said quickly, "But I said that the 35th Army should share more of the results, not because we lost tens of thousands of brothers, but because we, the Three
The 15th Army was the absolute main force in the Wuyuan Battle. Your Chahar Independent Regiment only participated in the battle at the end. If it hadn’t been for our 35th Army’s bloody battle with the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia for half a month, killing a large number of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia, you wouldn’t have been able to do so.
There is no opportunity for bargain hunting."
"What does it mean to pick up a bargain?" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "This is called skill, how about you pick one up and let me see?"
"Fart, this is just picking up a bargain." General Sun Lanfeng was really a cannon, and he swore immediately, "If it weren't for our 35th Army who defeated the Japanese in front, you Chahar Independent Regiment and your family would still want to take advantage of it.
Going down to Guisui? It’s a fool’s errand! So you should return Guisui to us.”
"Brother Wanjiu, what you said is wrong." Xu Rui has long known General Sun Lanfeng's temper. This is a man who even dares to scold his immediate superior Fu Zuoyi when he is unhappy. What does it mean to scold him?
At that moment, Xu Rui smiled again and said: "The 35th Army was the main force in the Wuyuan Battle. I absolutely admit this, but the contribution of our Chahar Independent Regiment cannot be denied. If we hadn't participated in the attack in the end, the little devil would have
It won’t be defeated so quickly. If your Thirty-fifth Army wants to achieve the results it has achieved now, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy, and it may not even be possible to win Baotou. You can’t deny this, right?”
General Sun Lanfeng was immediately speechless because what Xu Rui said was true.
In the Battle of Wuyuan, if the Chahar Independent Regiment did not finally participate in the battle, even if the 35th Army could finally defeat the Mongolian army, I am afraid that there would be no spare power to pursue it. The best result at that time would be to defend Wuyuan.
Even though Baotou was restored, it is embarrassing to say that the country was restored to Sui Sui. From this point of view, we really have to thank the Chahar Independent Group.
Although Sun Lanfeng was very good at fighting, he was an honest man after all. He was immediately distracted by Xu Rui. He even felt that what Xu Rui said was very reasonable. For a moment, he even felt that Guisui City should indeed be inspected.
It is owned by the Haer Independent Regiment. After all, Guisui was conquered by someone else, right?
The atmosphere in the division headquarters was a bit cold.
When the two of them were staring at each other, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted: "Commander-in-Chief Fu is here!"
Xu Rui and Sun Lanfeng stood up quickly after hearing this. As soon as they stood up, Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie hurried in with their clothes covered with dust.
As soon as they met, Fu Zuoyi complained: "Brother Xu, where have you been hiding these past two days?"
Ye Qijie also chimed in and said, "Brother Xu, you are really good at giving us a good meal."
Fu Zuoyi went on to say: "The negotiations have not been concluded for the time being. We can negotiate slowly. There is no need to rush."
"That's right." Ye Qijie continued, "This guy has made us all anxious and almost angry."
Fu Ye and the two still wanted to play the emotional card. It would be more beneficial to first bring the two sides closer together and then negotiate.
Otherwise, it will be business-to-business from the very beginning, and it will be really troublesome if the talks fail again. Once Baotou still fails to reach an agreement, and we wait until Guisui to talk again, Xu Rui's conditions will inevitably become more harsh than before. In this way
This situation is what Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie want to avoid.
"Let the two officers worry about it." Xu Rui did not answer the question at all, and directly changed the topic to the main topic, saying in a dull tone, "I feel that Wuyuan is not a suitable place for negotiation, so
We came to Baotou first, it would be more appropriate for us to negotiate in Baotou."
Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie looked at each other, and both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. How else could they say that Xu Rui was difficult? They had just started, and this guy had already guessed the ending, and then directly put their
Nipping thoughts in the bud leaves no way for them to retreat.
Xu Rui said again: "Two sirs, how about we start talking now?"
Fu Zuoyi said helplessly: "You have to let us wash our faces, right?"
"This is none of my business." Xu Rui smiled and said, "Sir, please."
Sun Lanfeng on the side quickly ordered the guards to fetch hot water for Fu Zuoyi and the others.
Ye Qijie rolled his eyes at Sun Lanfeng helplessly. Do you want to be so active? He also wanted to have a confrontation with Fu Zuoyi while washing his face. This required a private occasion, but now it was better. Sun Lanfeng directly asked the guards to bring hot water.
Once in the conference room, they lose this opportunity.
After applying hot towels to their faces, Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie cheered up a little, and then followed the path they had discussed on the way here, one playing the good role and the other playing the bad role, and started this arduous negotiation.
Fu Zuoyi sang with a black face and said: "Our conditions are still the same as before. The governance rights of Guisui Provincial City and Wuchuan County are absolutely not allowed to be traded. They must belong to our 35th Army unconditionally. However, except for the governance of the two places,
Apart from power, everything else can be discussed, even garrisoning troops can be considered."
Ye Qijie explained: "The chief is saying that you can be temporarily stationed in Guisui or Guchuan County until you find a foothold in Chahar Province. Your designation is the Chahar Independent Regiment. I believe that your party is in
When you formed your army, you also had the intention of opening up a new situation in Chahar, am I right?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Since Chief Fu insists, then as I said before, there is no need for you and me to talk further. In short, we will never talk about it in Guisui City and Guchuan County.
If you have to let it come out, Chief Fu, you can do it by force."
Fu Zuoyi couldn't control his emotions and said angrily: "Xu Rui, don't think that our 35th Army is really afraid of your Chahar Independent Regiment. Yes, I admit that the combat effectiveness of your Chahar Independent Regiment is
They are very strong, especially the Langya Brigade, which is an elite division rarely seen in the world, but the remaining 5,000 people of our 35th Army are also elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. If we really fight, even if we are completely wiped out.
, I will definitely beat you to a severe loss. By then, if the North China Japanese army takes the opportunity to counterattack, I'm afraid your Chahar Independent Regiment will not be able to defend Suiyuan!"
Xu Rui sneered twice and said tit for tat: "Sir Fu, it seems I should be the one to say this!"
After a short pause, Xu Rui said again: "Sir Fu, are you really planning to do what pleases those who love you and those who hate you, and start a war with our Chaha Independent Regiment for the territory that does not belong to your 35th Army?
?I admit that your 35th Army is indeed an elite division, at least more capable than any Kuomintang unit I have ever seen. However, our Chahar Independent Regiment was also established in the flames of war. We were not forced to fight.
Others are frightened, but if you really want to fight, just do it!"
After saying that, Xu Rui turned around and was about to leave. Fu Zuoyi slammed the conference table and said sternly: "Xu Rui, do you believe that I will give you an order and you will not be able to leave this conference room?"
Xu Rui paused and replied coldly: "I don't believe it!"
Fu Zuoyi was completely angered by Xu Rui, and said sternly: "Sun Lanfeng!"
Sun Lanfeng stepped forward and responded loudly: "What are the orders from the chief?"
Fu Zuoyi was just about to say that he would dunk Xu Rui, but suddenly he saw Ye Qijie standing next to him and winking at him repeatedly, while he was mumbling as if his mouth was cramping.
