For many people, the short and strange end of the battle between the Xinghua Army and the Japanese army in Southeast Asia is somewhat surprising and regrettable. But in this battle, the thunderous attack of the Xinghua Army also left a deep impression on many people.

Although the Allies and the expeditionary force were still on the side, they all hoped that the Xinghua Army could continue to fight the Japanese army to the end and share their war pressure. But the little devil gave up a North Borneo and finally ended this tentative battle.

And the end of this battle, for the Xinghua army, undoubtedly really established their right to speak in Nanyang. Even after the end of this battle, the Japanese army had to be more cautious and cautious than before in dealing with the Nanyang Xinghua Army.

But in fact, the campaign set off by the Xinghua Army in Southeast Asia still gave a lot of help to the inland anti-Japanese war troops. At least for the Gui army, which fought against the Japanese army, they got an extremely rare opportunity to return to defense and prepare for war.

The Gui army, which was originally attacked by the Japanese army and was a little out of breath, was also very happy to learn that the Xinghua army had copied Qiongya Island occupied by the little devils. The retreat of the Japanese army further confirmed the speculation of the Gui army.

The Japanese army, which was worried about the landing operation of the Xinghua Army, had no choice but to interrupt its strategy of continuing to advance into the hinterland of Guangxi in order to ensure the security of the defense area in the Liangguang area. Instead, the main force was withdrawn, and the coastal cities were deployed to guard against the counterattack of the Xinghua army.

As the commander of the Gui family, Li Delin was also very happy and happy to see the Xinghua Army stab the Japanese army in the back. Even after the Japanese army retreated and gave up the plan to continue attacking the hinterland of Guangxi, he wanted to contact Zhao Tiehu.

According to the information that Li Delin learned, Zhao Tiehu had contact with Yan'an and Chongqing earlier. At present, the Expeditionary Force and the Eighth Route Army have close cooperation with the Xinghua Army. And this kind of cooperation is undoubtedly what he wants.

At least for Li Delin, he hopes to have a good relationship with Xinghuajun. If he could join forces with the Xinghua army, perhaps he might really be able to recover Liangguang and completely bring these two provinces under the control of the Gui army.

As the actual controller of the Liangguang region, Li Delin naturally knew that the strength of the Xinghua Army in the Liangguang region was not weak. In particular, in Hong Kong, which borders Guangzhou Province, there are a large number of main forces of the Xinghua Army in action.

What puzzled Li Delin the most was that in Qiongya and Hong Kong, there seemed to be armed forces of the Eighth Route Army. To a large extent, these armed forces benefited from the rapid development and growth of the Xinghua Army.

Judging from the current situation, if Zhao Tiehu wants to strive for more interests, it is a wise choice to deepen cooperation with the Nationalist Government. At least as far as Li Delin is concerned, he feels that the current strength of the Eighth Route Army is still somewhat inferior to that of the Nationalist Government.

In an inconspicuous town in western Guangxi, Li Delin, who met Zhao Tiehu for the first time, still asked this question. As a general of the Nationalist Government in charge of the three theaters, he was indeed very puzzled by this.

Facing Li Delin's inquiry, Zhao Tiehu said with a smile: "Since Brother Delin asked about this, then I won't hide anything." In my opinion, the current strength of the Nationalist Government is indeed stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army in Yan'an.

But the war is not over yet, and it is not yet known who will be strong and who will be weak in the future. But there is one thing that I know very well, that is, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. When it comes to the support of the people, what do you think of the prestige of the Nationalist Government?

Not to mention anything else, in terms of logistics materials alone, Yan'an tightened its food and clothing, and used the limited materials and food more to ensure the supply of materials for the front-line troops. And how did Chongqing do it?

The front line is tight, the rear is tight, this is what I know about Chongqing. In addition, the problem of corruption in your party and your army, do you think it can be changed? Who has the courage to change, perhaps?

At least I hope that the future of China will be decided by a large number of people, not by someone's family. Fattened some people, but pitted countless people. Is it possible for such a ruling party to gain the approval of the people?

As for the strength that Brother Delin said, I believe that if you give the Eighth Route Army a while longer, maybe the edge they show will also shock you. Regarding the current military movements of the Eighth Route Army, Brother Delin should have heard of it, right? ”

A series of several rhetorical questions made Li Delin also become silent. There are some things that are not interesting to put it bluntly. The seemingly powerful national government is indeed unpopular in some matters.

This point, even if he and Lao Jiang knew it, they still couldn't prevent this kind of thing from happening. After all, there are people who are not much worse in power and prestige in the government than they are. If you do a one-size-fits-all approach, it will cause chaos within the government!

After being silent for a while, Li Delin smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that General Chen really understands the situation in China!" ”

"Yes! I don't deny that! Although I don't want to meddle in domestic affairs, I am also Chinese, and I also have the blood of the Chinese nation in my body, and I am willing to contribute a little bit of my strength as a descendant of Yan and Huang to the country.

When I meet with General Li this time, I also hope that General Li understands that no matter what our purpose is. The future of China requires us to work together. Otherwise, disasters like this will continue to happen.

Our motherland has a splendid civilization of 50 million. Compared with the so-called European and American powers at present, we have prospered much more than them in history. But now? We became the target of their bullying.

If such a war that completely wiped out our country and species was not enough to warn the world, then I can only say that this country is really hopeless. Only when the motherland is truly strong, can our overseas Chinese be truly safe! ”

Zhao Tiehu also knows a little about the leader of the Gui warlord in front of him. It can be said that since the chaos of the warlords, Guangxi has been his lair, and even the Nationalist Government cannot let him bow his head and meddle in Guangxi's affairs.

But such an independent warlord, Zhao Tiehu hopes that it will not appear in the future. Only a unified China can truly become strong. And what Zhao Tiehu has to do is to try to persuade Li Delin not to support the civil war.

After talking about some ideas about the future after the war, Zhao Tiehu also had a discussion with Li Delin about the cooperation between the two parties. Among them, the proposal to open up the land and sea routes between the Xinghua Army and Guangxi is also included.

At this point, Zhao Tiehu also said directly: "For cooperation, I naturally will not refuse." But there is one thing I hope Brother Delin will agree to. That is, don't do any more fratricidal things, okay?

At the very least, I hope that you will be able to truly cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, whether it is the Eighth Route Army operating in Hong Kong or the Eighth Route Army stationed on Qiongya Island. Even if you don't work together, I hope there won't be friction.

As a proposal for cooperation, I would suggest that the Yan'an side withdraw the guerrillas in Guangxi to Qiongya and Guangzhou Province as much as possible. If you can do that, then I will fully cooperate with you in recovering Liangguang. ”

"Good! I can promise you this right now! In fact, I still admire Yan'an very much! ”

In Li Delin's view, he has always been under the watchful eye of Lao Jiang in the Nationalist Government. Being able to have a good relationship with Yan'an is not a bad thing for Gui Jun, who is on the southwest border.

Most importantly, the Eighth Route Army is currently advancing the northward strategy. If the Northeast is really likely to be recovered by the Eighth Route Army in the future, then it is really unknown who will dominate the ups and downs of China in the future. At this time, he didn't want to clash too much with the Eighth Route Army.

After a day of secret meeting between the two sides in the town, Zhao Tiehu returned to Qiongya Island. The Xinghua Army is still very worried about its entry into Guangxi this time. After all, Zhao Tiehu's identity cannot be lost.

Even if Zhao Tiehu planned to return to Nanyang by boat, the captain of the guard in charge of protection also raised different opinions. The reason is that returning to the South Seas by ship is very likely to be ambushed by the Japanese army.

On the other hand, if you return from the Malay Peninsula, you will be supported by the Xinghua Army and the Wolf's Den along the way. This also means that the return journey will be safer. And this suggestion was also recognized by Chen Wan, director of the communications department of the base camp.

After a meeting with the commissioner sent by the Eighth Route Army on Qiongya Island. Regarding Zhao Tiehu's suggestion, the commissioner was also very cautious: "General Chen, I need to ask my superiors for instructions on this matter before I can reply!" ”

"Yes! That's also a suggestion from me, and at least in my opinion, it's also very beneficial for you. If you can have a good relationship with them, it will also be very beneficial to your development in the south.

Abandoning Guangxi, you can instead focus your development on Guangzhou Province and Fuzhou Province, and even on liaising with the troops in the southern Jiangxi Soviet region. In this matter, the troops under my command will also give corresponding support. ”

"Thank you! I will convey this suggestion of General Chen to my superiors! ”

When the situation was reported to Yan'an, Director Zhou and the committee members felt that a good relationship with Gui Jun would also be more beneficial than disadvantageous to the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, in fact, they did not have many guerrilla forces in Guangxi.

On the contrary, the guerrillas in Guangxi will be transferred to the territory of Guangzhou Province for development, relying on the troops in Qiongya and Hong Kong, and perhaps they will really be able to do something. Most importantly, they have the Xinghua Army as their backing at all times.

It's just that compared to Director Zhou, they feel very interested in this matter and can consider it. However, the committee members knew in their hearts that by doing this, Zhao Tiehu was more of a division of the forces of the national government and preparations for the future.

The committee members when no one was there couldn't help but sigh: "Tiger cub, it's hard for you!" ”

Although the secret talk in the cave gave the committee members a great shock. However, with the passage of time and the course and development of the war, the committee members became more and more convinced of the miraculous story told by Zhao Tiehu.

However, as far as the committee member is concerned, if he can complete the reunification of the motherland as soon as possible, he is still willing to work hard for it. But he knew that this kind of thing would not be able to accomplish this task with the enthusiasm of the Eighth Route Army alone.

If you want to avoid a civil war that ends in the war, it will ultimately depend on the choice of Chongqing. After all, the Nationalist Government still wants to take sole control of the country in the future, and I believe that he and many others will not agree!
