He Wenxi said: "But if we don't send a regiment, we can't say it, right?" ”

Speaking of this, He Wenxi said again: "And only one regiment is sent over, and the impact is actually not great." ”

Zhong Yi said: "Only sending one regiment does not have much impact, but the problem is that if the devil increases his troops, one regiment is still not enough to hold the mouth of the stream?" Will you continue to increase your troops, or will you sit idly by? ”

After saying this, Zhong Yi continued: "If you continue to increase the troops, then in the end, the nine regiments of the entire coastal defense corps will be transferred to Xikou by Usamitaka, but if you don't increase the troops, you will have to sit back and watch in the end, since it is inevitable that you will fall back and watch in the end, it is better to simply send a regiment!" ”

He Wenxi was speechless, because what Zhong Yi said was so reasonable.

However, while this is the truth, things cannot be done that way.

In any case, Xikou Town is President Chang's hometown, and political posture is still needed.

At that moment, He Wenxi said: "Counselor, I think we should still send a group." ”

"I don't say no, I don't need to." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "I'll explain it to the principal." ”

He Wenxi thought for a while and said: "Counselor, the person who cares most about this matter is not Principal Chang, but Prince Chang!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a communications staff officer hurriedly came in and reported to Zhong Yi: "Attend, the first detachment of the special operations brigade has sent an urgent telegram from Xikou. ”

Zhong Yi shouted: "Read." ”

"Yes!" The communications staff officer agreed, unfolded the telegram and read, "Zhejiang-Fujian Battle Staff: Our department encountered a team of devils in Xikou Town, which has been annihilated today, many houses in Xikou Town have been burned, Yutai Salt Shop has also been burned, and the people have been killed and injured. ”

He Wenxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhong Yi waved his hand and retreated the signal corps.

He Wenxi said: "Counselor, it's really fortunate that the devil only has one infantry squad. ”

"Director He, you're happy too early." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "If an infantry squad fails, Usamitaka will send more devils to Xikou, and he will not stop until he achieves his goal." ”

He Wenxi's heart tightened, and he said urgently: "Then what can we do?" ”

Zhong Yi pondered for a moment and then said, "You immediately prepare a secret message to Chongqing." ”

……

On Mount Emei, Baoguo Temple, Ning Cui Building.

Principal Chang just came back from a walk with Mrs. Chang.

At this time, Chongqing was already as hot as a furnace, but it was still cool on Mount Emei, and Principal Chang accompanied his wife to walk on the boulevard for nearly half an hour, still only slightly sweating.

As a result, as soon as he returned to Ning Cui Building, he saw Lin Wei standing at the door with a condensed expression.

"Headmaster, ma'am." Lin Wei bowed slightly to Principal Chang's wife and said, "Something happened." ”

Principal Chang's heart immediately chuckled, and from Lin Wei's expression, he realized that it should be his private matter.

At that moment, Principal Chang asked in a deep voice: "Weiran, is there an accident in Jiangxi?" ”

Principal Chang is talking about the eldest son who is serving as an inspector in Jiangxi at this time, Nikola Chang.

Don't look at Principal Chang is usually very strict with Nikolai, but in fact, he attaches great importance to it in his heart, and Principal Chang is completely in accordance with the highest standards for this eldest son and is trained as a successor.

"Jiangxi?" Lin Wei was stunned when he heard this, and after reacting, he quickly shook his head and said, "Uh, no, it's not Jiangxi." ”

"Isn't it Jiangxi?" Principal Chang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as it wasn't his eldest son's accident, other private matters would be trivial, and then Principal Chang asked again, "So something happened to Xikou?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Chang next to her immediately pricked up her ears, she was more concerned about Xikou's affairs.

"Yes." Lin Wei glanced at Mrs. Chang out of the corner of his eye, and said, "About a squad of devils from an infantry squad has just flowed to the mouth of the stream, although they were finally wiped out by the troops who rushed to hear the news, but the people in the town still died hundreds of people, and nearly a hundred houses were burned down, and ......"

"And what?" Principal Chang said, "Don't babble, say." ”

"Yes." Lin Wei bowed deeply again and said, "The Yutai salt shop has been burned. ”

Although the Yutai salt shop has long been distributed to the eldest brother of Principal Chang, it is the property of the Chang family after all.

"Where's the old mansion?" Mrs. Chang glanced at Principal Chang and continued, "What about that one?" ”

Lin Wei replied: "The old mansion was not burned, because the devil burned from west to east, and before it could burn the old mansion, the troops who arrived were annihilated, and Mrs. Mao was also very safe." ”

After saying this, Lin Wei continued: "However, the humble position is very worried that the devil will still invade the Xikou. ”

"Well, Weiran, your worries are not unreasonable." Mrs. Chang said on her own, "In this case, you immediately send a telegram to Yinjiang and ask Zhong Ziren to send a division to defend Xikou." ”

Although it is not his own opinion, Principal Chang also thinks that it is okay to do so.

Xikou is his hometown anyway, and it is appropriate to send a division to protect it.

However, after Lin Wei heard this, he didn't say anything, just stood still.

Mrs. Chang was a little angry and said, "Director Lin, you think my words don't have weight, right?" ”

"Well, there is absolutely no such meaning in the lowly position, Madame misunderstood." Lin Wei hurriedly explained, "It's, but Zhong Ziren has already sent a telegram." ”

Mrs. Chang said: "Shouldn't he not plan to send troops to Xikou?" ”

Lin Wei smiled bitterly, took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Chang.

Mrs. Chang hurriedly read the telegram and said angrily: "This Zhong Ziren is really too much, and he refuses to transfer even a regiment to protect Xikou!" ”

Hearing this, Principal Chang's face instantly fell, and he took the telegram from Mrs. Chang's hand.

After reading the telegram, Principal Chang's face became more and more embarrassed, and he returned to the study without saying a word.

Lin Wei trembled and followed Principal Chang into the study, but Mrs. Chang did not come with her, but went back to her own room to bathe and change clothes.

Entering the study, Principal Chang lay down on the rocking chair and said, "Weiran, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Lin Wei took out another secret telegram from his pocket and said, "Principal, Ziren still has a secret telegram." ”

Principal Chang was stunned when he heard this, and there was a secret message? At that moment, Principal Chang reached out and took the secret telegram.

After reading this secret message, Principal Chang's face finally looked better, and he snorted: "I didn't expect that Zhong Yi would actually play a big game of chess. ”

Lin Wei said: "Principal, Ziren uses Xikou as a bargaining chip, which is indeed very excessive, but if it rises to the overall situation of the national Anti-Japanese War, I think it is understandable. ”

"Don't worry, I understand." Principal Chang said, "You call him back immediately, let him do it openly, and I and the command will fully cooperate!" ”

Lin Wei said again: "The principal, where is the eldest prince?" ”

Principal Chang said, "I'll explain to him over there." ”
