Chapter 126 The Kuomintang and the Communist Party Gather in Hujuling
The person from the Jinsui Army was an acquaintance of Wang Lichun. Li Zheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 276th Regiment of the Jinsui Army who had visited Huju Ridge last time. He was dressed in disguise and still only brought two guards with him.
In the Juyi Hall, they laughed: "Hahaha, it seems that Li came by a coincidence. There are distinguished guests coming to the door, and even the road up the mountain is blocked!"
In the Juyi Hall, Wang Meng and Zhang Wenbin were both wearing gray cloth military uniforms and standard Eighth Route Army dress. Li Zheng recognized them at a glance. He didn't have much likes and dislikes for his neighbors to the east of Longpan Mountain, but he was attacked by the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain just now.
Someone blocked them and a dispute arose, which made him dislike Wang Meng and Zhang Wenbin.
As the battalion commander of the 276th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, he was sent to Hujuling twice. Li Zheng was also a smart person. When he saw the situation in the Juyi Hall, several leaders in Hujuling were big-eyed and short-sighted.
Staring at Wang Meng and Zhang Wenbin, he could feel the sparks filling the air, and immediately continued to smile: "Haha, political commissar Wang, congratulations on your victory in Hu Juling. With only two hundred people, you can defeat a Japanese brigade, and
To annihilate more than 500 enemies is a miracle!"
While talking, he naturally sat next to Wang Lichun on a long bench with Wang Lichun. He looked as if he was very familiar with Wang Lichun. This attracted Zhang Wenbin's attention again, and he frowned.
Damn it, why did they know about it! Wang Lichun completely lost his temper. Originally, he wanted Zhang Dayong to return to the headquarters to report on the battle, and at the same time cover up the Japs' casualties as much as possible, and expand the casualties in Hujuling, in order to prevent
The headquarters coveted the newly captured weapons from Hujuling, especially the two 92 infantry cannons.
But now it seems that the news has spread a long time ago, and he is the only one who is still kept in the dark, thinking that no one else knows.
"Captain Li, how did your department know?"
Li Zheng laughed loudly, patted Wang Lichun on the shoulder, and scolded him with a smile: "You boy, you are really not honest in what you do. It seems that what our group said is absolutely right. Don't worry, I am not here to accuse the army. From now on, you
If you continue to do this, it won't be in vain that our regiment gave you the 300 guns! Well, just like you said, we didn't waste them!"
Feeling that Li Zheng's attitude today was a bit abnormal, Wang Lichun was indescribably strange and continued to struggle with how the other party knew the specific circumstances of the battle.
"Our division headquarters has intercepted a message from the Japanese army." Li Zheng's answer was simple. When he finished speaking, Wang Lichun began to curse the Japanese in Yangquan County again - such a shameful thing could not be concealed.
The message was actually intercepted by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at the same time. The Japs’ intelligence work was too poor!
He and Li Zheng were talking to themselves, while the five heads of Hujuling remained silent at the same time. They just looked at the four of them coldly - Wang Lichun, Li Zheng, Wang Meng and Zhang Wenbin. These four people can all say
They were outsiders, and only Wang Lichun and the others recognized him more. However, Wang Lichun had made it clear that he was determined to follow the Eighth Route Army. They needed to find out what Wang Lichun's attitude was towards that matter.
Wang Meng and Zhang Wenbin looked at each other. The former noticed the dissatisfaction in the latter's eyes and quickly stood up and said: "Da Chun'er, why don't you introduce me, who is this?"
"Oh, I forgot!" Wang Lichun slapped his forehead and introduced the three of them to each other, but he did not introduce the five heads of Huju Ridge to Li Zheng.
I always felt that Li Zheng was a little weird today, so he deliberately teased: "Battle Commander Li, this is the leader of our new second regiment. Why don't you salute when you see the commander?"
After saying this, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Wenbin's face getting slightly better, and couldn't help but feel helpless, thinking again of the saying "brothers hate each other".
Wang Meng didn't care about these false salutes. He was about to say a few words casually to cover up the salute. Unexpectedly, Li Zheng said rudely: "Captain? You have too many commanders in the Eighth Route Army. Some of them are making up stories."
May I ask Commander Wang, does your department have a designation among the various branches of the National Government of our country?”….
This sentence is nothing more than a direct slap in the face. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated. The Communist Party nominally accepted the leadership of the Kuomintang, and its troops were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and later renamed the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Regardless of the name,
There are strict regulations on the personnel establishment of the Eighth Route Army. However, the Eighth Route Army is not limited to rigid regulations. The rate of development of the army can be said to be changing with each passing day. It is unknown how many times the number of personnel has been exceeded.
If there are many people, there will be many people, but if you are not in charge, you will not be recognized by the National Government.
Damn, you are here to cause trouble! Wang Lichun was annoyed when he heard this, and stood up suddenly, but Li Zheng picked up the bench, walked to the side and sat down, as if he didn't intend to get involved.
What on earth did this grandson come for? Wang Lichun wanted to ask clearly, but Zhang Wenbin said: "Comrade Wang Lichun, let's get down to business first. This matter is very important. You should know the situation in the northwest area of Longpan Mountain.
Commander Wang's battalion is still at the foot of the mountain. We cannot stay any longer. If we attract the attention of the Japanese or others, we will be in trouble."
"Tsk!" Li Zheng heard Zhang Wenbin's accusation, sneered, and turned his face to the side.
Seeing Zhang Wenbin's serious look, Wang Lichun wanted to ask Wang Meng. If the headquarters just wanted weapons and ammunition, what would Zhang Wenbin of the Political Department do? But now there is obviously no chance, not to mention the few in Hujuling.
The leader sat aside and said that Li Zheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 276th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, could not be laughed at.
"Master, who has that letter? Let me see." Although Wang Meng secretly handed the letter to him, he guessed the main idea of the letter, but he still needed to find out how many weapons the headquarters wanted.
The letter was in Ke Zhengwu's hand. When he handed the crumpled letter paper to Wang Lichun, he added in a nonchalant manner: "Commissar Wang, you Eighth Route Army are really ruthless. This is a tiger trap."
I regard Ling as my long-term employee, and I want whatever I want!"
Without answering his words, Wang Lichun unfolded the letter and gradually frowned as he read the contents.
Deng Fei had never been very patient. He had not spoken for a long time and was already exhausted. When he realized that no one was talking in the Juyi Hall, he stood up and shouted to Wang Meng: "I don't care how old you are as a regiment leader.
You have to listen to us in the territory of Huju Ridge! If you want to come to fight the autumn wind, no problem. For the sake of Political Commissar Wang, the food and drink will satisfy you, but if you dare to have the idea of guns, we tigers
The guys from Chuling are not vegetarians!”
"Hahaha, I was wondering what was causing such unpleasantness, so it's like this!" It was Li Zheng who took over the conversation. He seemed to be happy to see the conflict between the people in Huju Ridge and the Eighth Route Army. "You must be the third leader of the family.
?I heard that the third master of Hu Ju Ling is as strong as an ox and has a straightforward temper, just like us guys in the northwest. Don’t you know the rules of the Eighth Route Army? Why should all the seizures be confiscated? Now that they ask you for guns, they may still follow you in the future.
I need someone!"
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Meng frowned. He could tell that Li Zheng seemed to have bad intentions and wanted to provoke a conflict between Hujuling and the Eighth Route Army. Although he didn't understand why the other party did this, he was aware of the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
, so you must not let the other party get what they want!
"Who is Battalion Commander Li of the 276th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? I heard that the 276th Regiment was famous for being brave and good at fighting. It fought against the Japanese army in Yangquan area several times, with wins and losses. Why has it become a shrinking force in the past two years?
Turtle, guarding your own one-third of an acre of land, are you at peace with the Japanese army?"
Li Zheng seemed to be touched by the pain in his heart. He suddenly stood up and shouted: "It's not you who caused the trouble. If you hadn't come to Longpan Mountain..."...
Before he finished speaking, he realized that there were some things that he could do but couldn't say. Even if they knew it well, they couldn't say it out loud.
Wang Meng chuckled disdainfully, and was about to continue his sarcasm when Zhang Wenbin interrupted him: "Captain Wang, don't discuss these things with him. It's unnecessary. Don't forget the tasks assigned to us by the superior leaders."
No one could have imagined that what he said next was actually directed at Deng Fei: "What did you, comrade, say just now! Revolution is not about eating and drinking. Do we care about eating and drinking? Those weapons and ammunition are to be allocated to the main force for use.
Used to fight against the Japanese army! The most important thing is to maximize the effect of the weapon and fight against the Japanese invaders to the greatest extent!"
"According to what you say, these weapons and ammunition are just decorations in our hands, so we can't fight the little devils?" Mu Zhaodi was not happy when she saw Zhang Wenbin was targeting Deng Fei and the words were thorny.
"That's not what I meant!" Zhang Wenbin also knew that what he said was a bit too much, so he quickly explained, "Everyone knows how many people the Hujuling Independent Brigade has and how large-scale battles it can fight. Of course, what you did this time
It's very beautiful. It has severely damaged the arrogance of the Japanese invaders. It deserves encouragement. The chiefs at the headquarters are discussing and preparing to give you credit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zheng, who was worried that the world would be in chaos, spoke again: "Okay, your Eighth Route Army's merit-recording and awards are all verbal. Can they be used as food or drink? Let me tell you, the things captured by others,
Leaving it to others is the biggest reward you, the Eighth Route Army, can achieve! Alas, this matter is so troublesome that even an outsider like me can't stand it!"
Zhang Wenbin would never allow anyone to smear the Eighth Route Army and said with a straight face: "Captain Li, you are a person sent by a friendly army. Please be careful in your words. In addition, this is an internal matter of our Eighth Route Army..."
"Internal matters?" Before Zhang Wenbin could finish speaking, Li Zheng interrupted him, "You just said that the heroes of Hujuling are worthless, saying that there are few people, and it is not a big deal for a large-scale battle, so
There is no need to keep too many weapons.
Hey, I don’t understand. You, the so-called main force of the Eighth Route Army, have a lot of people, but you have been coming to Longpanshan for so long. How come I haven’t heard of any of your troops engaging in a direct firefight with the Japanese army and annihilating five hundred Japanese soldiers at a time?
What about the above? Note, I am talking about the Japanese army, not the Japanese puppet army... Political Commissar Wang, what are you doing?"
Just when he was speaking impassionedly and righteously for Hujuling, Wang Lichun suddenly came over and circled around him...
