Yan, An.

"What do you think of what Brigadier Chen said in his telegram?"

Taizu took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed them to the president while asking. The expression on his face was still calm as usual.

The president first took out a match to light Taizu's cigarette, then waved the telegram in his hand and spoke slowly:

"Since this man was born, he has done only one thing, which is to fight against the Japanese invaders. He can be called a truly bloody and capable Chinese soldier. Last month he led his troops in Shandong

Destroying coal mines, blowing up railways, and knocking off the little devil’s lieutenant general, it can be seen that this man is extremely courageous and strategic.”

"Huh!" Taizu blew out a smoke ring comfortably and said with a smile:

"It is rare for a general of the Kuomintang and the Democratic Party to receive such a high evaluation from you." Taizu raised his head and looked toward the east with a deep gaze.

"In that case, let people come to the Taihang Mountains openly. We Communists still have this kind of mind. Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The current main contradiction is between the Chinese nation and Japanese imperialism.

Contradictory. As long as he is sincere in resisting the Japanese and fighting the Japanese, we are very welcome. The situation in southern Shanxi has not yet been fully opened, so it may be beneficial to us to let this army come in. "

The general manager nodded and wrote down Taizu's words, "I will send your opinions to the 386th Brigade."

Taizu waved his hand gently, "Don't worry, I remember that I am a comrade of the party in this army. I wonder what Jiangdong thinks of our party?"

Hearing this question, the president also had a smile on his face.

"There is indeed a comrade from our party who serves as a senior officer in this army. This comrade is mainly responsible for the ideological work of the army. Judging from the information he sent back, Jiangdong does not seem to have any hostility towards our party, and is even vaguely close to it.

and a sense of ambiguity.”

Taizu listened carefully while smoking.

"Jiangdong not only has a good way of fighting, but he also has great ideas about the military training and ideological style construction of the army. The revenge meeting and the heroic hymn movement can be regarded as a stroke of genius. The development of these two movements has completely transformed his army.

Being united together has kept the fighting spirit of this unit at a very high level."

The Prime Minister’s tone was quite appreciative, “I have carefully studied these two movements and found that they are similar to many of our party’s ideas, and can even be said to be the practical implementation of some of our party’s ideas on specific matters.

reflect."

"However, he has never publicly expressed any views on our party, which makes me a little confused."

"Hahaha..." Taizu put out the cigarette butts on the soles of his shoes. Hearing the words of the president, he let out a hearty laugh,

"When looking at a person, we should not pay attention to what he said, but what he did. Only through actions can we see a person's true intention."

"Haha..." The president patted his forehead and smiled, "You see clearly, I have fallen into a misunderstanding."

The two comrades and confidants looked at each other and smiled. Taizu stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back.

"If this unit is permanently stationed in southern Shanxi, some young comrades from our party can hide their identities and join it. First, they can test Jiangdong's attitude. Second, after all, Taihang is at the doorstep, so it's always right to keep an eye on it.

"

"You are still thoughtful!"

"This is an instruction from the Central Committee, take a look!" the chief of staff of the 386th Brigade said holding a telegram.

Brigadier Chen moved his eyes away from the map and reached out to take the telegram. The content of the telegram was very brief, but it was explained very clearly. After reading it, he said:

"This directive from the Central Committee is of far-sightedness, and the Chairman's perspective of considering the problem is far inferior to ours." He handed the telegram back to the Chief of Staff.

"Order all troops to maintain the status quo. If they encounter the Northern Anhui Independent Brigade, they must exercise restraint and must not do anything that undermines the cooperation between the country and the Communist Party. The instructions from the Central Committee have been very clear. The people coming are friends, not enemies!

"

"good!"

.

.

Chongqing.

"Commission!"

Dai Li walked into the Chairman's office holding a document. He knew that the Chairman had always been concerned about the Northern Anhui Independent Brigade, so he rushed over as soon as he got the report.

"Yunong, have you brought me good news?"

The chairman looked a little tired. During this period, the battle situation on the front line was getting more and more corrupt. He hoped that what Dai Li sent was good news.

"Commissioner, there is news about Jiangdong and the Independent Brigade. They have left Shandong and are now in Lin County, Hebei."

"Oh!" A glimmer of light flashed in the chairman's eyes, "This Jiangdong, it is really difficult to know the news about him. Please tell me carefully..." There was reproach in the chairman's words, but there was not much anger.

.

The Independent Brigade has made such a big noise in Shandong, even if the little devil wants to hide it, he can't.

When the Chairman received the news about the coal mine explosion and railway bridge explosion in Jiangdong, he was very happy for a while.

During the Wuhan Battle, the Chinese army was in decline. The Chairman regretted not blowing up the railway bridge and coal mine earlier. This would have caused a big problem for the Japanese army's logistical supplies and also allowed the soldiers on the front line to take a breather.

Jiangdong helped him do what he wanted to do but failed to do, and after the railway bridge was destroyed, the Japanese troops on the front line of Wuhan actually stopped for a few days, and the intensity of artillery fire and attacks were not as strong as before.

He was very happy that such a situation occurred, but Jiangdong and the Independence Brigade could not be contacted. While he was worried, he also had some resentment in his heart.

"According to information from intelligence agents, when we were in Shandong, for the sake of the safety of the troops, the radio station of the Independent Brigade was kept silent. Later, the war became fierce, and the radio station was destroyed during the battle."

Dai Li understood the chairman's thoughts very well. He was too talkative at the moment to explain a few words to Jiang Dong.

"Jiang Dong asked our Military Command Bureau for information about Jincheng. He seems to be interested in entering Jincheng and stationing troops there for a long time."

"This Jiangdong, what is he doing? Now that he has escaped from the encirclement, why don't he return to his hometown as soon as possible?"

The chairman stood up and walked towards the huge map at the back.

"At this!"

Dai Li had done his homework before coming, and he helped the Chairman point out the location of Jincheng.

"Hmm." The chairman frowned and looked at the map, "Taihang Mountain, Luliang Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain, Zhengzhou, Chongqing..."

His fingers passed over each key node one by one, and he already had a guess in his mind about Jiang Dongbing's purpose of entering the city.

Dai Li stood by quietly and did not say anything to disturb the Chairman's thinking.

After a long time, the chairman gently shook his head, "This Jiangdong... Thousands of people coming back to Wuhan will not have any big effect. Since he wants to stay in Shanxi, let him stay."

"yes!"

"Yunong, I can give him all the information Jiangdong wants, but after all, Shanxi is full of communists, bandits, and the independent brigade. I also want to know about the situation of the independent brigade at any time. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure that there are no mistakes in the independent brigade."

Dai Li knew very well what the Chairman meant, which was simply to ask him to put more spies around Jiang Dong.

After the Northern Expedition, many of the direct subordinates whom the Chairman trusted so much secretly defected to the Communist Party. This was a pet peeve of the Chairman and he did not dare to take it lightly at any time.

"Okay, then go ahead!"

After Dai Li left, the Chairman still stared at the map on the wall motionless.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no possibility of victory for the national army in the Wuhan Battle. As the leader of a country, the Chairman is already considering the national war situation after the failure of the Wuhan Battle.

In the Battle of Wuhan, the Chinese army devoted all its strength, and the Japanese army also invested almost all its strength.

After the battle, even if the Japanese army could win, it would be a tragic victory, and it would be impossible to organize another major battle like Songhu and Wuhan.

The war between China and Japan will enter a new stage.

The chairman is now considering how to reduce the loss of territory at this stage so that the people will not lose confidence in the government.

At the same time, he was also considering the situation across the country. When fighting foreign affairs, we must first pacify the domestic situation. This is the idea he has always insisted on.

It is difficult for ** to die at the hands of foreign enemies. Instead, domestic opponents are potentially huge threats.

This is the reason why he agreed to Jiangdong to stay in Taihang Mountain.

.

More than ten days after the Northern Anhui Independent Brigade stationed in Lin County, Wang Chao, who had left, returned to the headquarters in Jiangdong. This time he brought the intelligence Jiangdong needed.

Wang Chao was wearing a gray tunic suit, a black hat on his head, and the outline of a box cannon was faintly visible on his waist. He was obviously dressed as a special agent. Behind him were two people with evil eyes.

Jiang Dong smiled and teased:

"I haven't seen you for more than ten days, and Captain Wang has returned to his former glory."

"Haha... Brigadier Jiang is joking."

Wang Chao took off his hat. Although his face was confident, he was not arrogant.

Jiang Dong asked Wang Chao to sit down, "Captain Wang is back so soon. He must have gotten what I need, right?"

Wang Chao waved his two men out and then said with a serious face:

"Both the Chairman and Director Dai know about Brigadier Jiang. I will naturally send you the news you want as soon as possible."
