Chapter 472: Seize the territory and collect the defeated troops
New Eighth Army Military Headquarters.
"Military seat, military seat! Commander Sun's troops were defeated by the Eighth Route Army!" An officer of the New Eighth Army hurriedly broke into the military headquarters to report.
"What? Is the news reliable?" Gao Shuxun asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"It's absolutely true. The soldiers sent for reconnaissance saw with their own eyes that the Eighth Route Army was capturing prisoners all over the mountains and plains!"
At the beginning of the battle between Sun Liangcheng's troops and the Eighth Route Army, Gao Shuxun sent people to keep an eye on the dynamics of both sides, but the speed at which Sun Liangcheng's troops were defeated was really unexpected.
"How long has it been? Sun Liangcheng's temporary first division plus two desperate columns have nearly 10,000 people. Even if there are 10,000 pigs, they will not collapse as soon as they are pulled up!"
In fact, 10,000 pigs may cause more trouble to the Eighth Route Army. After all, pigs will not surrender voluntarily, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the stubborn soldiers of Sun Liangcheng's army surrendered in defiance of the wind.
"Where is Sun Liangcheng? Is there any whereabouts?"
"I didn't find out about this!"
"Military seat, Guancheng, Fan County, do we, the New Eighth Army, still send people there?"
After Gao Shuxun heard this, he did not reply immediately. He really frightened the Eighth Route Army. After a long time, he said: "Zhan, the troops have gathered together. Notify the 29th Division. The 6th Division quickly went north to collect the broken troops along the way, but don't
Conflict with the Eighth Route Army!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, all the officers and soldiers of the New Eighth Army quickly moved northward and raised a clear flag to the outside world. On the one hand, they were to collect the defeated troops, and on the other hand, they were afraid of misunderstandings with the Eighth Route Army.
Gao Shuxun even led the guards directly north, and soon sent someone to contact the Eighth Route Army troops.
When everyone in the Luxi Military Region heard that Gao Shuxun had come to visit in person, Brigadier Han of the New Third Brigade immediately said: "Gao Shuxun came very quickly. I'm afraid he has bad intentions!"
"That's not necessarily true. He came specifically after the battle was over. It's very possible that he came to grab territory!" Commander Yang of the Luxi Military Region said.
"Okay, all your ministries should hurry up and clean up the battlefield. Gao Shuxun will be left to me to handle it!"
When Gao and Yang met, Gao Shuxun was extremely enthusiastic, but in an instant he changed to a tone of indictment.
"Commander Yang, Sun Liangcheng has always been hostile to your army, but how can your Eighth Route Army fight with him without permission? This is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and destroying the united front is a serious crime. I am afraid that Jiang will not let it go!" Gao Shuxun said slightly.
He said accusingly.
"Commander Gao, Jiang is far behind and does not know the actual situation in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas. However, Commander Gao should have heard about what Sun Liangcheng's troops have done recently. In the recent battle, Sun Liangcheng's troops joined the Japanese army.
Launching an attack on our unit, does Commander Gao know this?"
Commander Yang of Luxi is an upright person. Although he is not as evil as Zhou Weihan, he will not let others manipulate him.
"Is there such a thing?" Gao Shuxun's expression changed after hearing this. Gao and Sun both had secret contacts with the Japanese army, but no one exposed it to the public. Unexpectedly, Sun Liangcheng actually let the Eighth Route Army find out.
"Commander Gao, don't believe it? You can come with me to the battlefield and have a look. The corpses of hundreds of little Japs are still there!"
"That's no need. How is Sun Liangcheng doing now?"
"Hey, Commander Sun has been captured alive by our army and is currently in custody. Commander Gao, do you want to meet him?"
"That's not necessary!" Gao Shuxun had known for a long time that Sun Liangcheng would not die. As the guerrilla commander of the National Army in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions, Sun Liangcheng was one of the representatives of the National Army here. The Eighth Route Army would definitely not put Sun Liangcheng to death.
"Commander Yang, with all due respect, even if Sun Liangcheng colludes with the Japs, your army should not take action. Then the nature will change! I think it is better to leave Sun Liangcheng to me. I will report it to the Military Commission.
There will be justice!”
After hearing this, Commander Yang was moved. Gao Shuxun seemed to want to be a witness for the Eighth Route Army, and he immediately asked: What does Commander Gao want?
"Haha, our New Eighth Army cannot sustain its food supplies just by relying on Puyang. If your army can give up Guancheng and Fan County to our army, that would be great!" Gao Shuxun laughed,
Speak out your inner thoughts.
"Okay, if this matter can be properly resolved and our army gives up Guancheng, what will happen to Fan County and the two places?"
"Commander Yang is indeed a happy person. Gao will definitely live up to his expectations. Let's wait for the good news!"
Both people present knew that it was impossible for the National Army to send other troops to the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas. The National Army could not do anything to the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas. In the future, the Eighth Route Army and the New Eighth Army would definitely rely on each other in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan areas.
.
It would be great if Sun Liangcheng's charge of colluding with the Japs could be proven to Jiang. Jiang could only lightly expose the matter.
Subsequently, the Luxi Military Region handed over the officers of Sun Liangcheng's department to Gao Shuxun.
Sun Liangcheng saw Gao Shuxun's face seemed to be angry, but he said: "Brother Jianhou, thank you for saving my brother from the fire and water this time. I am grateful!"
Reading with rice balls
Gao Shuxun sneered: "Brother Shaoyun, you Hutu, our two troops are ordered to fight against the Japs behind enemy lines. We can cause friction with the Eighth Route Army, but how can you collude with the Japanese army?"
, what you and I represent is that the Nationalist Government has gained face behind enemy lines!"
"Once this matter comes out, the national army will definitely lose the support of all the people in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions. Have you forgotten the example of Shi Yousan who was rejected by everyone?"
Faced with Gao Shuxun's duties, Sun Liangcheng's heart suddenly became cold. Shi Yousan was killed by the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei. Even if Shi Yousan was lucky enough to survive, he would still be dead if he returned to the National Army.
When Sun Liangcheng thought that only a few officers of his troops had survived, and that his troops were gone and he was no longer at the mercy of others, he immediately took Gao Shuxun's hand and said, "Brother Jianhou, please give me a hand!"
"Hey, brother Shaoyun, if you and I are fighting against each other, how could I not save him until he dies?"
"The only plan for now is to strike preemptively. Before the Eighth Route Army breaks this news, you take the initiative to go to the mountain city to plead guilty. Considering that you have contributed a lot in the war behind enemy lines, maybe they will be lenient. Of course, I will also send a message to Shangfeng.
Report, I will cover for you, remember to lose money and avoid disaster!" Gao Shuxun patted Sun Liangcheng's shoulder and said.
"Brother understands!"
On the same day, after Sun Liangcheng returned to his residence, he immediately packed up his belongings and headed south with his family. He seemed not to want to stay for a moment, but many of his subordinates were left behind in the New Eighth Army.
After Sun Liangcheng left, Zhang Hanquan, commander of the 29th Division, said: "Military Commander, do you really believe that Sun Liangcheng will go to the mountain city to plead guilty?"
"Humph!" Gao Shuxun sneered at first, and then said, "What does it matter whether I go or not?"
