Chiba Xunyi continued: "He acted without authorization, which resulted in his defeat and death. It doesn't matter that he died, and he also killed thousands of heroic Huang Army soldiers.
He really deserves to die, and his death is not a pity, but those innocent soldiers of the Yellow Army lost their lives in vain because of him. I want to see how you explain it to the families of those soldiers."
The chief of staff and Chiba Xunyi exchanged words with each other and exchanged insults.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned when he heard this. Later, he couldn't listen anymore and said impatiently: "That's enough. What are you two guys arguing about here? As a senior general of the Yellow Army, you are like a shrew.
What's the etiquette of swearing here?"
After being scolded by Shinozuka Yoshio, the chief of staff and Chiba Xunichi stopped.
Chiba Xunyi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have important matters to report to you alone."
Yoshio Shinozuka also knew that in the current atmosphere, it was not appropriate for the Chief of Staff to be present. So he said: "Chief of Staff, please go do other things first, and I will discuss it with you later."
The chief of staff gave Chiba Xunyi a hard look and left the office.
Shinozuka Kazuo asked: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
How dare Chiba Xunyi directly talk about what happened with Xu Dalong? He must first lay the groundwork and gain Yoshio Shinozuka's understanding before he can tell his true intention.
He said: "Your Excellency, Commander, my division is close to Xu Dalong's base. That guy Xu Dalong is really difficult to deal with. My troops are short of food, and I am counting on my superiors to provide supplements, but this guy Xu Dalong cut off the railway.
They also had cavalry troops on the lines and highways. It was really difficult to transport food in.
Seeing that food is getting less and less, my troops have now begun to ration the supply. The soldiers do not have enough to eat every day and their morale is low.
If this continues, the situation will be very dangerous. If Xu Dalong's troops attack, the soldiers will not have the strength to resist, and the division will be in danger of being destroyed. We hope that your Excellency, Commander, will quickly find a way to supplement us."
Shinozuka Yoshio is also facing a lawsuit on his forehead. Not only is the 32nd garrison division short of food, the Japanese troops in many places in Shanxi are also affected by drought and cannot collect so much food. Railway transportation will be affected at any time.
The underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces attacked and it was very difficult to transport food in.
He now simply did not have the ability to provide food for the 32nd garrison division, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't complain here, just tell me, what on earth do you want to report to me?"
Chiba Xunyi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, first of all, I want to declare that I am absolutely loyal to the Japanese Yellow Army. What I am going to say next may be a bit unbelievable, but I am afraid it is also the only way to change the current crisis."
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Stop being so nagging and say what you have to say quickly."
Qianye Xunyi said: "Your Excellency Commander, we have someone who can pull the strings and buy grain from Xu Dalong."
"What? You are just fooling around. It is absolutely impossible to make a deal with Xu Dalong. If this matter is known to the headquarters, I can't protect you." Shinozuka Yoshio was surprised.
Chiba Xunyi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I hope you will be patient and listen to what I have to say."
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Chiba Xunyi, you'd better not have such thoughts. Don't blame me for not reminding you of this matter. You must never do it, otherwise it will not be clear at all."
Chiba Yixun said: "Thank you for your concern, Commander. I understand what you are saying, but the division has nearly 20,000 people. I can't just watch them all starve to death."
This sentence hit home the key point for Yoshio Shinozuka. Nowadays, in the First Army, there are many troops in the same situation as the 32nd Guard Division. They all reach out to ask for food, but they do not have the ability to provide it to them. I am afraid that I will use it.
Before long, these troops would starve to death due to lack of food, and by then he would not know how to explain it to his superiors.
Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a long time, feeling a little at a loss.
He asked: "You said you want to buy grain from Xu Dalong, will he sell it to you?"
Chiba Xunyi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, that guy Xu Dalong is simply a monster. It seems that he can predict the occurrence of drought. Last year, he purchased a large amount of grain, which is said to be hundreds of millions of kilograms.
Now his troops are able to have plenty of food and drink every day. But the soldiers in my army are all hungry. Under such circumstances, if he attacks my division, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop him at all."
Yoshio Shinozuka was too lazy to listen to his explanation and said: "Stop talking about these useless things. Just tell me what is going on, how can I buy grain from Xu Dalong, and how much can I buy? Also,
The most important thing is, why does he want to sell you food?"
Qianye Xunyi said: "According to the intelligence, Xu Dalong has a large amount of food in his hands, which is enough for his troops. However, other underground party troops, including their superior agencies, are asking for food from him. Now he is beginning to have some
They are stretched thin. The most important thing is that in order to win people's hearts, they will also provide food to the people affected by the disaster.
As a result, Xu Dalong didn't have enough food in his hands. So he planned to buy food from Chongqing. It was said that they had already agreed and could provide him with a large amount of food.
Xu Dalong could buy food, but if he wanted to transport the food back, he had to pass through the areas occupied by the Huang Army. Obviously this was impossible.
The reason why he asked someone to come to discuss with me is that he hopes that I can help him transport the food back, on the condition that he can share part of the food transported back with me."
Yoshio Shinozuka felt that Xu Dalong's idea had some truth. Although this matter was beneficial to the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party, under the current situation, it could also provide help to the Huang Army. This was not considered an act of collaborating with the enemy.
.
He became a little interested and said: "How much food can Xu Dalong buy, and how much can he provide to Huang Jun?"
Qianye Xunyi said: "I have inquired about it. The first batch of grain purchased by Xu Dalong in Chongqing was hundreds of millions of kilograms. If it can be shipped here, he can continue to buy it there. What Xu Dalong means is to ship it back
The food given to Huang Jun's family is half that of Huang Jun's family. Of course, Huang Jun has to pay according to the price for the food distributed to Huang Jun, and he guarantees that after this batch of food is shipped, they will not block Huang Jun's ministries on roads and railways.
grain transportation.”
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said: "If this is the case, it will be of great benefit to Huang Jun. This matter can be carried out. However, this matter should not be made public. You will be responsible for secretly negotiating with Xu Dalong. After the negotiation, give it to me immediately
Send a telegram. This matter is of great importance. I will go to Peking in person and report to the Commander of the Front Army."
Hearing that Shinozuka Yoshio basically agreed, Chiba Xunyi was very happy. You know, for Chiba Xunyi, this solved a huge problem.
First of all, the troops will no longer be hungry, so he can be the division commander. Also, since Xu Dalong has promised not to attack the Japanese food transport team, at least for a long period of time, the 32nd Division can still be guarded.
If he can maintain a tacit understanding with Xu Dalong's troops, he will be able to continue to live a comfortable life. Thinking about this good thing makes him feel satisfied.
He said: "Commander, please rest assured. As soon as I return from my humble post, I will send someone to negotiate with Xu Dalong to discuss the specific details and then report to you."
After Qianye Xunyi returned to Lingao City, he immediately called Yan Guiwu and asked him to negotiate with Xu Dalong. Soon the two sides reached an agreement.
The Japanese army agreed that the food should pass through the Japanese-occupied areas and was responsible for arranging railway and road transportation. The handover point of the food was in Lingao City. After the food arrived, the underground party and the Japanese army would each share half of the food. The Japanese army would have to pay according to the market price for the part distributed to the Japanese army.
.
In Chongqing, Xu Dalong communicated directly with the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone. The commander-in-chief agreed to Xu Dalong's request to transport grain from his defense zone into the Japanese-occupied area. He also put forward conditions, that is, the grain transported to Shanxi,
Give part of the Nakajo Yamaguo Army and the troops of the Ninth Theater adjacent to them.
After all, this matter occurred in the Second War Zone, so the consent of the King of Shanxi was also required.
Xu Dalong personally asked to see the King of Shanxi and completed his work. Of course, the condition was that after the grain was shipped back, part of it must be distributed to the Jinsui Army.
In this way, through Xu Dalong's guidance, Chongqing, the King of Shanxi and the Japanese army reached an agreement, and large quantities of grain were continuously transported to Shanxi from the rear.
This is a last resort for all parties. This matter is beneficial to everyone and also saves a large number of innocent people.
Of course, all parties know that this temporary cooperation is only temporary. Once the drought is over, all parties will immediately enter a state of hostility, because everyone is full of food, drink, and has the strength to fight.
Naturally, there is no need to cooperate anymore.
In any case, this matter was still very cost-effective for the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. It not only saved a large number of underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces from disbanding due to insufficient supplies, but also saved countless disaster victims.
In order to prevent anyone from taking this matter against Xu Dalong in the future, the Chongqing Office of the Underground Party, the Office of the Chief of the World War II District, the Anti-Japanese Armed Headquarters of the Underground Party, and the Taiyue Military Region all issued certificates indicating that Xu Dalong was loyal to the organization and everything he had done
It was all approved by superiors. From now on, no one can use this incident to accuse Xu Dalong of being suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
After this incident, Xu Dalong's role became more and more prominent. The head of the headquarters wanted to transfer Xu Dalong to the headquarters, and the commander of the Taiyue Military Region also wanted to transfer him to the Taiyue Military Region. The Chongqing Office believed that Xu Dalong was important in united front work.
He has his own uniqueness, and I hope he can go to the Chongqing office to be responsible for dealing with all forces to strengthen the united front work.
Of course, Xu Dalong is still willing to be the captain of the brigade in the Mawu Mountain base area, where he can better play his role. The mountains are high here, the emperor is far away, and Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others are easy to get along with.
After his request, he finally stayed in the Mawushan base area and served as the captain of the guerrilla brigade.
Military headquarters.
Li Yundi, Director of the Intelligence Department, received an order from his superiors to complete a task that was almost impossible for him, which caused him a lot of headaches.
That day, he walked out of the office. He kept his head down as he walked, thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. He didn't pay attention to the people coming out of the office next to him, and the two almost bumped into each other.
The person who came out of the office was You Yukun, the director of the Military Counterintelligence Department. He asked curiously: "Brother Yundi, what's wrong with you? It seems like you have lost your soul."
Li Yundi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "It's hard to explain in just one sentence."
In order to relieve the anxiety in his heart, he said: "Brother Yukun, we haven't gotten together for a while. I will serve at noon today and we will go have a drink."
You Yukun smiled and said, "Okay! I'm really craving for wine today."
Then the two of them drove to a hotel, found a private room and started drinking.
After drinking for three rounds, You Yukun asked: "Brother Yundi, what is it that makes you so worried?"
Ordinarily, Li Yundi could not disclose the tasks assigned by his superiors to others, but he and You Yukun had worked together for more than ten years and had absolute trust in each other, so he told You Yukun about the tasks he had just received.
Here's the thing. There are various signs that the Japanese army has been preparing to launch a new war. Countries around the world are paying attention to whether the Japanese army will go north to fight polar bears or go south to attack the British and American spheres of influence.
The United States hopes to have accurate information. Not only does it send its own intelligence department to search for relevant information, it also assigns the task to Guofu, asking them to provide relevant information.
The Guofu government handed over this task to the military commander. As the director of the military commander's intelligence department, Li Yundi certainly had the unshirkable responsibility.
If it is to collect domestic intelligence, it is still a bit difficult for Li Yundi, but he is not worried. The military command has countless intelligence stations, and he only needs to hand over the task to the relevant people.
But this important international information was beyond his reach. He felt like a dog biting a hedgehog and he didn't know what to say.
He said dejectedly: "The boss said that this matter is very important to Guofu. The higher-ups require the military commanders to master the relevant intelligence. It is best to get ahead of other countries' intelligence agencies and provide accurate intelligence."
Giving it to the Americans will greatly improve the status of Guofu, so the boss ordered me to obtain relevant information at all costs.
But Brother Yukun, you also know that our military command has absolutely no way to intervene internationally, so where do I start?"
After listening, You Yukun felt some sympathy for Li Yundi. If he were the director of the intelligence department, he would never be able to carry out such a task.
You Yukun didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him in a general way, saying that he would have good luck and be able to complete this mission.
