The atmosphere in the conference room was very serious and quiet, except for Sun Yumin's words when he gave the order and everyone's loud answers, even Chen Lai's voice writing in the record book could be heard clearly.

"Shi Zhonghua, Wang Heng."

"Here!" The two replied in unison.

"The 139th Division pays close attention to the movements of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, if they move closer to Gao'an, you don't need to care, but you must not let them attack in the direction of Wuning."

"Yes!" The two replied in unison.

"You remember, although the 33rd Division is a C Division, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the 34th Division, once they attack in the direction of Wuning, you must block them." Although Sun Yumin commanded the 139th Division, he must emphasize the importance of being clear at this moment.

"Please rest assured, even if the 139th Division is exhausted, the devil will never be allowed to advance half a step." Shi Zhonghua didn't speak, but Wang Heng replied loudly, the two of them were still and moving, forming a stark contrast, and it was clear who was close and who was sparse.

"I don't want to hear such words, whoever said that if you want to block the devil, you have to fill it with the lives of the soldiers in the army. There are many, many ways to do it, and after the meeting you go to the chief of staff and he will tell you how to fight such a battle. ”

At the combat meeting, Sun Yumin should not have talked about this, but he has always loved soldiers like a son, and when he heard the word "spelling", he couldn't calm down, and couldn't help but "educate" Wang Heng. Although it was ostensibly about Wang Heng, everyone knew that it was because they regarded him as their own person, so they would talk about him like this.

"Remember the teachings of the military seat." After Wang Heng was said, instead of being discouraged, he was more energetic, he was not stupid, how could he not understand the intentions of the military seat.

"Also, as long as the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army dares to attack you, at most one day, there will be troops to replace you. Then the 33rd Division doesn't have to worry about you, but this doesn't mean that the troops can rest, I need you to rush to Shanggao as quickly as possible, and the ambush position you built there some time ago is your destination. ”

"Yes!" Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng responded to Sun Yumin's order for the third time.

"All divisions will be deployed immediately in accordance with the order I just made, and all the battle situation must be reported to the army headquarters as soon as possible, is there a problem?" Sun Yumin seemed to have forgotten the new 34th Division, and this closing remark confused the stupid bear, and everyone else replied: "No!" ”

And he was asking, "What about me, Commander?" What about our new 34th Division? ”

Sun Yumin didn't seem to hear it, and said directly: "Dismiss!" After giving this order, he strode out of the conference room, not giving the stupid bear a chance to pester him at all.

Seeing that Sun Yumin ignored him, the stupid bear was anxious, but he didn't dare to chase after Sun Yumin to question him, so he had to grab Deng Dongping like a help, and said anxiously: "Dongping, we are good brothers, you have to help me ask the military seat, what is the task of our division?" You can't eat meat from all the big guys, and it makes me stare dryly. ”

"Don't worry, I'll help you ask. Now I have to discuss with Deputy Division Commander Shi and Deputy Division Commander Wang, you have to wait. Deng Dongping responded to the stupid bear with a smile, but everyone could see that this was perfunctory to him.

"Tie Guts, don't worry, with my understanding of the military seat, he must have the most important task entrusted to you, so you don't need to worry at all." Zhanshutang patted the stupid bear on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Deputy Commander, you didn't lie to me, did you?" The stupid bear seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, sticking to Zhan Shutang, seeing him nodding, the previous anxiety suddenly dissipated cleanly, and said excitedly: "Brother Zhan, go, go to me, let's have a few drinks." ”

"This can't be done, I have to rush back to Shanggao, you also heard, my brother's task is not light, you should remember this wine first, and when you win a big battle, I will invite you brothers." Zhanshutang has been in the army for many years, and he understands Sun Yumin's personality, so he naturally won't be greedy at this time, so he patted the stupid bear on the shoulder twice, and then walked out of the room.

After the meeting, Sun Yumin did not continue to stay in the headquarters, but returned to his residence. The war is about to start, and in the days of more than a month and less than half a month, there is definitely no way to take care of the ninth day of the first month, he has to take advantage of the gap now to accompany his daughter.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Tang Chunhong teasing Chu Jiu in the courtyard, there was a stool at the door of the house, and Zhao Lei looked at the two people playing in the courtyard with his eyebrows locked.

"Throne."

The first person to see Sun Yumin come in was Zhao Lei, although he was the director of the political department, he did not need to participate in this kind of combat meeting, and Sun Yumin would not have specially called him.

"Director Zhao, is there anything wrong with you?" Sun Yumin greeted Tang Chunhong and asked Zhao Lei with a slightly cold attitude.

It's no wonder that Sun Yumin would face Zhao Lei with such an attitude, because he basically knew the intentions of Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong.

The news that the New Fourth Army was ambushed by Shangguan Yunxiang's department has already been rumored, not to mention them in the barracks, even the people in the market are talking about this matter.

Sun Yumin reminded Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong, asking them to report to their superiors, pay attention to guarding against Shangguan Yunxiang, and even pointed out that the New Fourth Army should not enter the Maolin area.

This was a warning he made at great risk, but he did not expect that it was still changed by history's powerful self-healing ability, and history still entered its original trajectory.

Although Sun Yumin didn't know what went wrong, or which node went wrong, so that his warning didn't work, at least he did his best.

The reason why Sun Yumin's attitude was cold was because he knew that Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong's coming this time must be related to the incident in southern Anhui, and this was exactly the thing he could do the most.

"Junzuo, I do have something to look for you, but it's not a personal matter between me and Director Tang, we are ......"

"If you have something, come into the house and talk about it." Sun Yumin interrupted him, made a gesture for Zhao Lei to enter the house, and then turned his head to Xiao Yuying who was following behind him and said, "Girl, close the courtyard door and don't let others in." ”

"Oh." The little girl glanced at Sun Yumin, then at Zhao Lei, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, and after answering, she got up and closed the courtyard door.

"Sit down."

Sun Yumin's tone was still a little cold, if it was someone who was familiar with him, he wouldn't say anything to him at such a time, but Zhao Lei had only been here for a short time, so he didn't know him, so he naturally wouldn't understand this.

Chen Lai glanced at Zhao Lei a few times when he was making tea, but he didn't see it.

"Junzuo, I came to you today on the orders of my superiors to verify one thing from you." Zhao Lei was very anxious, and before Sun Yumin's ass sat down, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Your superiors?" Sun Yumin's brows furrowed, and the expression on his face began to become grim.

Although he didn't know who Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong's direct superiors were, based on the importance of their positions, it could be inferred that this superior was not an ordinary person.

"Yes. Junzuo, you should still remember that a few months ago, you asked me and Director Tang to report to Shangfeng, saying that Shangguan Yunxiang's department was assembling in southern Anhui, and asked the New Fourth Army to pay special attention to this person; Also, you also said that the New Fourth Army should not enter the Maolin area under any circumstances, right? Maybe he had something on his mind, so Zhao Lei didn't find out that Sun Yumin was wrong, and threw out two questions in a row.

"That's right, that's what I said." Sun Yumin's words became colder and colder.

"My superiors want me to ask you, why were you able to determine that the transfer of Shangguan Yunxiang's troops was to deal with the New Fourth Army? Why are you so sure that the New Fourth Army will enter the Maolin area? ”

Although Zhao Lei was asking these two questions, Sun Yumin understood that this was just his careful thinking, and the ultimate goal was to ask for evidence from himself, and finally make this evidence public to the world.

Sun Yumin also wanted to do this, so that he could completely tear up the faces of some people within the Nationalist Government, who could never tolerate the Communist Party of China who sincerely resisted Japan, and always thought that only a frontal war of resistance was the best way to expel the Japanese invaders. It is undeniable that the frontal resistance does have a great merit, but the war of resistance behind the enemy line is also very important, and if the harassment and attacks of the anti-Japanese armed forces behind the enemy lines under the leadership of the Communist Party have not reached the point where the Japanese invaders are unable to eat, the devils will not send troops from various battlefields to North China to implement the so-called "law and order strengthening movement", which is actually a "cage policy".

Sun Yumin has always believed that Taizu's "all-people war of resistance" is the best way to expel the Japanese invaders, and to achieve the "all-people war of resistance", the first thing to ensure is that the "united front of the war of resistance against Japan" will not be destroyed. Now some people are not only defying the law, but also pouring this pot of dirty water on the New Fourth Army, which is really hateful.

If Sun Yumin had the evidence that Zhao Lei wanted in his hand, he would not hesitate to take it out, but he didn't. It's just that he will tell them and warn them, just because he knows this history, he doesn't want to see the real anti-Japanese heroes slaughtered by "friendly forces", and he doesn't want to see these outstanding cadres and fighters of the party not sacrifice on the battlefield of killing devils, but die under the butcher's knife raised high by some people in the country.

The reason why he has a bad attitude towards Zhao Lei is not that he doesn't want to help him, but that he really has no way to explain why he knows these things, and he has no way to provide so-called evidence, so he can only use a cold attitude and words to deal with him.

"I warned you about this and told you to report to your superiors, but why is this happening? Didn't you report it? ”

Sun Yumin couldn't answer his words, so she could only ask back, her face was a little iron-blue, if the questioner was Tang Chunhong, she would definitely not ask any more, and she would not answer Sun Yumin's rhetorical question.

But in front of Sun Yumin was Zhao Lei, I don't know if he didn't find this, or if he found out but deliberately pretended not to find it, and was about to speak, but found that there was pain in his feet, and as soon as he lowered his head, he found that Chen Lai, who brought him tea, stepped on his instep with one foot, and even turned it twice, obviously he had found her foot, but this woman had no intention of taking her foot away.

Zhao Lei was a little confused, he was about to speak, but he heard Chen Lai's grinning voice: "Director Zhao, please drink tea." ”

Zhao Lei stretched out his hand to take the teacup, but saw Chen Lai's hand swinging at him a few times in front of him, which was clearly telling him not to ask again.

Although Sun Yumin couldn't see the movements of Chen Lai's feet and hands, this Nizi was facing him with her back to him, but he knew that she was here to help him, after all, he was really powerless about this matter.

Perhaps Chen Lai's reminder played a role, Zhao Lei didn't speak again, but he still had no intention of leaving, he kept holding the teacup, and his eyes stared at the patterns on the coffee table in a daze.

Sun Yumin can understand him, if he and Zhao Lei change positions, I believe he will be more anxious, but he is really powerless in this matter. If there is really any evidence or something like that, Sun Yumin will not hesitate to take it out and hand it to Zhao Lei, and pour the dirty water of "sabotaging the anti-Japanese united front" back to those villains and gentlemen who are dressed as hypocritical outsiders inside the country.

What can I do for them? Sun Yumin's brows furrowed even deeper, he frowned earlier because he couldn't answer, but now he was thinking hard about how to help the New Fourth Army, although the expressions of the two seemed to be similar, but the actual situation was completely different.

Suddenly, Sun Yumin remembered a passage in the history books: In response to Chiang Kai-shek's decision to cancel the number of the New Fourth Army, on January 20, 1941, the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China issued an order to rebuild the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, appointing Mr. CY Chen as the acting commander of the New Fourth Army, ZYY as the deputy commander, LSQ as the political commissar, LCZ as the chief of staff, and DZH as the director of the political department, and continued to lead the New Fourth Army to persist in the anti-Japanese struggle behind enemy lines in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

That's right, from the outbreak of the Southern Anhui Incident on January 4 to the announcement of the rebuilding of the New Fourth Army by Taizu on January 20, it only took half a month. If you can send it to the New Fourth Army, then it can be regarded as doing your best, which is much better than being helpless here, willing to help but helpless. Thinking of this, Sun Yumin immediately said to Chen Lai: "Xiao Lai went to call Director Tang in, I have something to discuss with her and Director Zhao." ”

After Sun Yumin said this, Chen Lai was a little surprised, she looked at him several times, until Sun Yumin urged her, she walked out of the house and called Tang Chunhong, who was playing with the little girl in the yard, in.

"I am very sad about the matter of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, and I can't help it, and you know that I did my best."

As soon as Tang Chunhong sat down, Sun Yumin spoke, because he thought of a way to do his best, so his words did not have the coldness of the previous one.

"Junzao, we don't blame you, but we are very grateful to you, including our superiors, who know that you did your best, and let us thank you!" This is Zhao Lei's words, it seems that he is still struggling with how to complete the task, so he casually brought the word superior in his words.

"Junzuo, in fact, your suggestion has been adopted, and the central government has asked the New Fourth Army to retreat on two routes: the first is to cross the river to Wuwei through the Fanchang and Tongling areas; The second route is from Yunling to the east through Matou Town, Yangliupu, Sunjiabu, Bijiaqiao, Langxi to Zhuqiao and Shuixi (where the headquarters in southern Jiangsu is located), and then cross the Yangtze River north through the enemy-occupied areas in southern Jiangsu. But I don't know why, in the end, the troops took the route from the military headquarters to the south of Yunling to Maolin, Sanxi to Jingde, Ningguo to Guangde, Langxi to Liyang to cross the river and then to northern Jiangsu. And this route is exactly the route you warned about not treading in. Tang Chunhong is not like Zhao Lei, she almost has nothing to hide from Sun Yumin.
