Xu Rui actually heard it clearly, but he still deliberately asked: "Commander Gao, what are you talking about?" ”

If you change to a thin-skinned one, you might take back what you just said, but Gao Hanting is not.

Gao Hanting was not affected at all, and said very calmly: "Commander Xu, our four detachments will take seventy percent, and your independent regiment will take thirty percent, how about it, it's interesting enough, right?" After all, our four detachments dispatched a full 9,000 people in this operation, and the money and food consumed every day by people eating and chewing are not a few, and your independent regiment has dispatched less than 1,000 people in total. ”

Xiao Huadong was dumbfounded.

This is what the commander can say, and he Lao Xiao can't say it anyway.

It's true that the four detachments dispatched more than 9,000 people, and the independent regiment only dispatched less than 1,000 people, but why don't you say that the independent regiment of the people eliminated the two infantry brigades of the devils with the cooperation of the puppet army, and withstood the counterattack of the five and a half infantry brigades of the devils.

Therefore, if the spoils are distributed according to the merits of the war, it should be the independent regiment that takes the lion's share, and at most it will be divided into five or five accounts.

Xu Rui laughed after hearing this, and after laughing, he said: "In terms of the number of troops, don't say that it is three or seven open, even two or eight open, I have no opinion, really, but Commander Gao, this battle to recover Feicheng is not only you and me, in addition to your four detachments and our independent regiment, there is also the puppet army Anhui Central Garrison Division." ”

"Puppet army?" Gao Hanting waved his hand and said domineeringly, "The puppet army is not qualified to distribute the spoils of war, and it would be good if Lao Tzu did not investigate the traitors who took refuge in Little Japan." ”

Xu Rui will take the puppet army Anhui garrison division to fill the number, this has long been expected by Gao Hanting, because the commander of the puppet army Anhui garrison division Nan Batian was originally Xu Rui's internal response, if the puppet army Anhui garrison division is really allowed to participate in the distribution of spoils with a division-level system, then their four detachments will lose a lot, so they resolutely can't agree.

Gao Hanting's countermeasure was not to recognize the reciprocal status of the puppet army.

Xu Rui said again: "What if it is the advance brigade in Anhui in the Third War Zone?" ”

"The advance brigade of Anhui in the third war zone? What kind of troops is this, how have I never heard of it? Gao Hanting was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head and asked Xiao Huadong, "Old Xiao, have you heard of this army?" ”

Xiao Huadong shook his head like a rattle, saying that he hadn't heard of it.

Gao Hanting said: "Commander Xu, this is not right, you have an opinion on the three-seven division, you can put it forward, this is like doing business, one is asking for a price, and the other can be bargaining on the ground, even if you don't disturb it for a while, you can talk slowly, why bother to make such a non-existent force as the Anhui Central Advance Brigade?" ”

"Commander Gao, blame me, blame me for not speaking clearly." Xu Rui smiled, and then said, "The Central Anhui Advance Brigade was actually just organized into an army, due to the outstanding performance of the remnants of the 88th Division in the battle to recover Feicheng, the Commander's Department of the Third Theater of the National Army decided to use the remnants of the 88th Division as the backbone to form the Central Anhui Advance Brigade, temporarily stationed in Feicheng, with Luo Feng as the brigade commander. ”

"What do you say?" Gao Hanting was surprised, "And this is the case?" ”

Xu Rui nodded again and again and said, "Yes, there is such a thing." ”

Although Xu Rui had not yet had a secret conversation with Yang Bayan, he already knew the content of the secret order of the Commander's Department of the Third War Zone.

Because Yang Ba Nan is also a smart person, he knows that there is a big misunderstanding between himself and Xu Rui, and there is a big obstacle to communication, so before coming to Feicheng, he first went to Meizhen, met with Wang Husheng, the political commissar of the Independent League, and revealed the secret order of the Governor's Department to Wang Husheng.

Yang Bayan's intention is self-evident, that is, he hopes that Wang Husheng can reconcile in the middle.

Wang Husheng did not disappoint Yang Bainan, and really sent a telegram to Xu Rui, asking Xu Rui to carefully consider the opinions of the Third Theater Commander's Department of the National Army, no matter what, the New Fourth Army belongs to the sequence of the three theaters, so Gu Shutong, the nominal commander-in-chief, still has to be respected.

Of course, the reason why Wang Husheng persuaded Xu Rui to accept the secret order was not really out of respect for Gu Shutong, the commander-in-chief, but for the interests of the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

Moreover, most of these seven or eight hundred officers and men are veterans who participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and if the Dameishan Independent Regiment can really incorporate the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment, its strength will rise to a new level in an instant, and this is much easier than recruiting seven or eight hundred new soldiers from the base areas and then training them into veterans.

With this in mind, Wang Husheng sent a telegram to Xu Rui.

At this moment, Xu Rui already knew Gu Shutong's plan, and also accepted the chips he released.

But to be honest, what Xu Rui wants to incorporate is not Yang Bayan's Southern Anhui Independent Regiment, but the remnants of less than two hundred soldiers under Luo Feng, what is the quality of Yang Bayan's Southern Anhui Independent Regiment, just look at the virtue of their regiment commander Wang Yi, you can see one or two, what kind of commander will have what kind of soldiers, from Wang Yi's virtue, you can know that the virtue of the Southern Anhui Independent Regiment may not be any better, even if such a force is absorbed, I am afraid that it will have to spend a lot of effort to rectify, and the result of rectification is not necessarily ideal.

But Luo Feng's two hundred remnants are different, these two hundred people are real elite soldiers in a hundred battles, whether it is physical fitness, marksmanship or stabbing skills, they are all one top one, it is an exaggeration to say that they can block a hundred with one, but it is absolutely no problem to use one top ten.

These little 200 remnants will be able to become a platoon commander immediately if they enter the independent regiment!

Therefore, compared with Yang Bayan's Southern Anhui Independent Regiment, Xu Rui wanted to incorporate Luo Feng's nearly 200 remnants.

But there is no way, Gu Shutong doesn't seem stupid, and he also thought of pinching the remaining remnants of the 88th Division of less than 200 in his hands, and using these remnants as the backbone to form the Anhui Central Advance Brigade, and what's even more powerful is that Luo Feng was directly promoted from battalion commander to major general brigade commander, thus completely breaking Xu Rui's idea of recruiting Luo Feng.

Luo Feng is now a major general and brigade commander, and he still defected to you, the regiment commander? When the time comes, will you, the regiment commander, command him, the brigade commander, or will he, the brigade commander, command you, the regiment commander?

So Xu Rui no longer wants to absorb Luo Feng's remnants, but wants to have a good relationship with them.

Who knows what will happen to Luo Feng's Anhui Central Advance Brigade in the future, maybe there will be opportunities in the future?

It is precisely because of this consideration that Xu Rui wants to bring in Luo Feng's Anhui Central Advance Brigade to participate in the distribution of the spoils, what he has paid at the moment is only part of the spoils, but what he will gain in the future is likely to be two hundred or more veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.

In times of war, what resources are most valuable?

Not weapons and ammunition, not gold or silver, but people, more precisely, elite veterans who are proficient in all kinds of combat skills, and veteran resources are the most scarce!

Listening to Xu Rui's words, Gao Hanting's brows tightened.

If this is the case, then this Anhui Central Advance Brigade that has just formed an army is really qualified to get a piece of the pie, and you can do whatever you want when you are still a puppet army, but now that they have restored the establishment of the national army, then they can't mess around, no matter what, it is now the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it is necessary to unite sincerely and unite with the outside world, isn't it?

After holding it for a long time, Gao Hanting said again: "There is no problem for the Anhui Central Advance Brigade to participate in the distribution of the spoils, no matter what, they also participated in the battle to recover Feicheng, but they are now more than 100 people in the entire brigade and less than 200 people, I'm afraid they can't participate in the distribution according to the brigade-level system, right?" This doesn't make sense! ”

Dividing the spoils of war according to the structure of the troops participating in the war on both sides is a basic principle agreed upon by Gao Hanting and Xu Rui long ago before the war.

According to this principle, the four detachments can also get at least seventy percent of the booty.

But now a central Anhui advance brigade suddenly appeared, and it wanted to participate in the distribution of the spoils of war with the brigade-level system, even if it was a type B brigade formed according to the two regiments, it would have to share a full third of the spoils, and the division of the four detachments had been sharply reduced from seventy percent to less than fifty percent in a blink of an eye, how could Gao Hanting be willing?

Xu Rui said with a smile: "So what does Commander Gao think that the Central Anhui Advance Brigade should participate in the distribution?" ”

"At most, it will be distributed according to the battalion-level formation." Gao Hanting frowned and said, "They now have less than two hundred remnants left, and the distribution according to the formation of a battalion is already up to the sky." ”

Xu Rui frowned and said, "Commander Gao, isn't this okay?" Although there are less than 200 people left in the Anhui Central Advance Brigade, it was a fully organized brigade before the war, and we cannot cut down on the due interests of others because of heavy casualties. It's not appropriate. ”

"Gotta get it." Gao Hanting impatiently interrupted Xu Rui and said, "What kind of complete brigade, don't think that I don't know the actual situation of the puppet army's Anhui garrison division, Luo Feng is nominally the commander of the second brigade, but there is actually only one regiment under his command, Huang Shouyi's fourth regiment has nothing to do with him at all, and he didn't participate in the battle of Feicheng, and they all ran away as soon as the battle started." ”

Xiao Huadong also felt that there was something wrong with letting the Wanzhong Advance Brigade participate in the distribution of spoils with a battalion-level structure, and said at the moment: "Otherwise, let the Wanzhong Advance Brigade participate in the distribution of loot with a regiment-level structure?" ”

Gao Hanting said helplessly: "Okay, since you said so the political commissar, then let's do it." ”

Xu Rui said: "I have no opinion, but I'm afraid we still have to listen to Brigade Commander Luo's opinion." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui turned his head and instructed Mo Zichen, who was still squatting there and gobbling up oily noodles: "Old Mo, don't eat it, look at how many bowls you have eaten, and still eat?!" Hurry up, go and invite Camp Commander Luo. ”
