Chapter 745 is full of difficulties

"Uhhh

The train slowed down slowly in the night, stopped at Chuzhou Station for half an hour, and then started again and continued in the direction of Pukou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Rui was dressed in a military uniform, frowning slightly, standing at the entrance of the carriage for a long time, looking out the window at the outline of the village that was constantly moving backwards and the occasional little light, silently smoking a cigarette, smoking three cigarettes in a row, Zhao Rui took a deep breath, took advantage of the light at the junction of the train, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and ordered the chief of the guard standing aside to rest by himself.

Zhao Rui walked into the front carriage alone and found that An Yi and the brothers had woken up, and everyone was sitting or standing between the two booths, talking in a low voice.

Lin Yaodong was talking to Shen Fengdao in a whisper, and when he saw Zhao Rui coming, he hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat, Zhao Rui was not polite, he sat down beside Zhan Dao, and smiled at An Yi opposite.

"There are still two hours to go to Pukou Station, and it is estimated that it will be around 8 o'clock in the morning."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he took the teacup handed by the guard, gently put it on the board in front of him, and asked An Yi with a smile: "Seeing that everyone is talking and laughing, what are you talking about?" ”

An Yi's eyes were retracted from the car window, and he replied with nostalgia: "Passing by this railway, the brothers can't help but think of the days when Jiangbei fled, we attacked the train on this line, and many old brothers of the model battalion left us forever in those most difficult years, and almost all of those who survived now lead troops in various departments, otherwise they will continue to wear this military uniform in our arsenal and munitions factory, and there are also those who open shops and be bosses like Lao Hantou." When Xiao Jiu mentioned this just now, the brothers thought about it and said that it was like it just happened yesterday, and they were very emotional! ”

Zhao Rui nodded: "I remember what you said, the Xuzhou Intelligence Station said in the last report that the commander of the independent regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness under Xu Xiangqian is named Wu Qinghe, and most of the people in his department are people along the coast of Luoma Lake, I remember that when the commander led the brothers to break through, he left a sum of money for Wu Zhaolin and Wu Qinghe, the Shawan fishermen who helped us on the north shore of Luoma Lake, as well as thousands of weapons including light and heavy machine guns. Two years ago, the leader of a 'Northern Soviet Independent Brigade' was named Wu Qinghe, and this unit once occupied more than 100 townships and towns in several counties from Pizhou to Muyang, but later under the encirclement and suppression of the four divisions of General Chen Tiaoyuan and General Chen Yi, it still persisted for half a year before it broke up. Commander, tell me, is this Wu Qinghe the same person as Wu Qinghe, a fierce general under Xu Xiangqian? ”

An Yi sighed faintly: "That's right, they are the same person, when he inspected the First Division the day before yesterday, Lao Shen confirmed it from the telegram sent back by Sun Desheng deep behind enemy lines. Lao Shen, you can tell everyone about it. ”

Shen Fengdao, who was in charge of An Yi's most confidential affairs, calmly introduced: "Two years ago, we knew about this ** independent brigade in northern Jiangsu, and we also knew that the family was the uncle and nephew of the Wu family who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die in the autumn of 27 to help my independent division escape from the encirclement through Luoma Lake...... But when our people got there, they knew that it was impossible, ** The Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee had already incorporated this army half a year before us, and Wu Qinghe personally said to Lao Ding, who secretly went to contact him for the second time: The Tao is not the same! He also strongly persuaded Lao Ding to come back and tell the commander on various grounds that he should stop working for the Kuomintang reactionaries. Lao Ding and they were unmoved, and Wu Qinghe immediately issued an eviction order. Lao Ding was so angry that he turned his head and left, and before he got on the boat at the dock by the lake, Wu Zhaolin, who was the deputy captain of the independent brigade, caught up and apologized, saying that Wu Qinghe was young and stubborn, and asked Lao Ding not to go to his heart, but Wu Zhaolin's predecessor's position was very firm, and he made it clear that he had gone with ** in this life, and also said that the three thousand soldiers of their independent brigade were the same, and they would never give in to the Kuomintang army who only knew how to collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes and did not care about the lives of the people, Lao Ding had no choice but to come back, and since then, we have never contacted the uncle and nephew of the Wu family……”

The more Zhao Rui listened, the more shocked he became, he shook his head and sighed, and asked with some doubts: "Why don't we know these things?" There is no official record in the archives of the headquarters, is it possible that the commander deliberately did not leave information about this secret contact? ”

"There are records, all the actions and external contacts of our department have written records and archives, but the top-secret documents above the third level are not at the army and division level, nor are they in our headquarters, but are stored in the archives of the Ministry of Intelligence under the jurisdiction of Du Yi, if you want to understand the every journey of our department from Guangzhou at the beginning of the Northern Expedition to today, I will write you an edict when I return to southern Sichuan, you can go in and check it in detail." After An Yi finished explaining, he waved his hand to Shen Fengdao to continue.

Shen Fengdao then introduced: "Do you remember that Gu Shunzhang, a member of the ** Central Committee, was accidentally arrested by Wuhan Xingying at the beginning of the year? In order to save his life, the first thing he confessed was the location of the ** Hubei Provincial Party Committee in Wuhan, as well as the location of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Communist Army in Wuhan. Among the four people killed in the Wuhan Intelligence Liaison Office under Xu Xiangqian, there was Wu Zhaolin's predecessor who had helped us escape, Wu Zhaolin's predecessor was already the deputy director of the logistics department of Xu Xiangqian's regiment at that time, and he also knew Mr. Xi Ping, the head of our Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce in Hankou, and we did a lot of business, but there was a soft bone in the captured ** who couldn't bear the beating, and the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce that confessed to us had sold contraband materials and medicines to their Red Army many times, and the Wuhan Military Police Command immediately arrested Mr. Xi Ping. Our intelligence officer promptly sent the matter to the Nanchang headquarters. At that time, we were desperately working with Little Japan on the Songhu battlefield, and we were surprised to receive an urgent telegram from Uncle Dao, and the commander sent a telegram to General He Chengjun, the head of the Wuhan camp, saying that Mr. Xi Ping was one of our people, and ten minutes later Director He called back and ordered his release. At this time, we still didn't know that Wu Zhaolin's predecessor was tortured to death, and it wasn't until the third day that people from the Investigation Bureau of the Central Party Department came to the front-line headquarters and asked to see the commander and show relevant documents. The commander immediately became angry, drove away the head of the investigation section of the party department who wanted to inquire about the relationship between Wu Zhaolin's predecessor and Mr. Xi Ping, and then sent a telegram to Mr. Chen Lifu, and no one mentioned the matter again. ”

After everyone learned what happened, they sighed for a while, admiring the persistence of the Wu family's uncle and nephew, and choking each other for belonging to different camps.

Zhao Rui thought about it, and finally mustered up the courage to say the doubts in his heart: "Commander, my subordinates feel that the commander has something to hide from everyone in his heart - this time, more than 100 people from all over our headquarters and more than 1,000 brothers from the special service group came out of southern Sichuan and rushed all the way to Bengbu, but they left the front line before their buttocks were hot, and the brothers felt very sudden and confused. Of course, it's a good thing not to tear up your face with Xu Xiangqian, Cai Shenxi and other senior brothers, but to go back to Nanjing in such a disgraced way, it still makes his subordinates not prepared at all. ”

"Haha, you feel sudden and confused, right?" An Yi lit a cigarette and asked with a meaningful smile.

The brothers all laughed, and Zhao Rui smiled: "Yes, the subordinates really didn't figure it out...... Soon after following the commander to board the ship at the foot of Lushan, the commander and I saw the battle plan of Mr. Hughes, the deputy head of the advisory group, from the series of information and documents handed over to us by Vice Minister Ge, although it was a transcript but it was very detailed, including the schematic diagram of the battle plan, and the commander had also seen it with his own eyes. For example, the swamp in the north of Meicun can't pass through the artillery battalion, but it can be replaced by a mortar battalion, and if necessary, the machine gun battalion of our special mission regiment can be on top at any time. In addition, as soon as they arrived in Bengbu, the commander ordered Sun Desheng's special service group to secretly send 12 reconnaissance teams to carry small radios deep into the communist base area to carry out reconnaissance, and the group personally led by Sun Desheng also sent back valuable information the next night, confirming that only three families lived on the mountainside south of Baiheling, and they made a living by hunting and gathering herbs. appeared a few hundred meters behind the Baiheling dangerous pass, and carried out a surprise attack on a company of communist troops who had been guarding there for a long time, so as to ensure the smooth passage of Senior Brother Li Yutang's third division...... It can be said that with a slight correction of a few flaws, the campaign plan can be smoothly implemented. The subordinates were surprised and puzzled, why did the commander still approve Hughes's plan worthless? If you don't want to stay on the front line and be the acting commander-in-chief, the commander can have a variety of ways to achieve the goal of leaving the front line! Why risk the anger of the principal and the members of the Military Commission to open the advisory group? ”

All the brothers felt deeply reasonable, and they all looked at An Yi for answers.

An Yi exhaled smoke and asked rhetorically: "Then please tell the junior brother that there is any more effective way than the criminal advisory group to leave the front line of the Communist Party?" ”

Zhao Rui thought about it carefully, there is indeed no other way more effective than An Yi's method, although Zhao Rui has three or four methods in his mind, but it will take a lot of time, and it will take more than a week at the earliest, only An Yi's method can shock the upper and lower levels at once, and make the principal angry, so as to quickly achieve the goal of leaving the front line at the cost of removal and investigation.

An Yi saw Zhao Rui shaking his head and smiling helplessly, leaning forward slightly, and explained in a low voice: "Senior brother, you also know that the vast majority of the brothers, including you, are unwilling to fight a civil war, not to mention that this time they are dealing with our senior brothers Xu Xiangqian and Cai Shenxi and others when they were in Huangpu?" When we were in Bengbu to study how to clean up the ** army, the Japanese had already dispatched planes to bomb several important towns in Rehe three times, killing thousands of our compatriots, the Kwantung Army and the Japanese troops who withdrew from Shanghai to the northeast were carrying out frequent large-scale targeted training, and the puppet Manchurian spy traitors and Japanese spies even openly operated in Tianjin, Qingdao and other places, and even the young marshal Zhang Xueliang, who was sitting in Beiping, couldn't help shouting and shouting to kill this time, not to mention that we hated the Japanese invaders in the Songhu War of Resistance and won all ** Countless accolades of the heroic troops? Secondly, the central government has telegraphed the whole country three times in the Jiangxi and Fujian regions, showing their determination to resist Japan, although our army lieutenant generals and many soldiers think that this is just a delaying tactic, but this attitude has won the hearts of the people for them, which no one can deny, the grandson of the Central Party Department is not as smart as the Central Committee, and does not know what to do, but frequently shouts what '** Evil words to confuse the public and want to take the opportunity to get out of trouble' and so on, I have never seen them come up with any real reasons to convince the people, at this juncture, how can the younger brother dare to be proud of the civil war? ”

As soon as the brothers heard the reason, they all agreed with An Yi's words, An Yi continued: "Again, the most important reason why the younger brother came back with this quick way to cut through the chaos is to put his energy on the upcoming Sino-Japanese war, if the younger brother's prediction is good, at most half a year or as little as three months, the prepared Japanese army will definitely invade Rehe and North China, and a big war is imminent, otherwise, the young marshal and the general of the Northeast Army who can give up their Northeast homeland will not be as panicked as today." The senior brother also knew that the strength of the Northeast Army alone could not stop the Japanese, and it was very likely that when the war broke out, those scum in the Northeast Army would defect to the Japanese, or in order to preserve their own strength, they would disregard the interests and dignity of the country and the nation, and collapse for thousands of miles under the pretext that they could not be stopped, so that the strategic points would be lost, and then the panic and despair of the whole country would be triggered. At this critical time, can we still be in the same room in the hinterland of China with peace of mind? I don't care what others think, I An Yi don't want to leave this infamy, including all the departments of my An Jiajun, we need to immediately seize the limited time and make every effort to prepare for the upcoming Sino-Japanese war, and defending the country is the highest value of our soldiers' existence. ”

When the brothers heard this, they supported An Yi's decision even more, and Zhao Rui also put aside the doubts in his heart and was full of understanding and respect for An Yi.

However, what the brothers did not know was that An Yi did not say another extremely important reason: the urgent report sent by the United States made him toss and turn, and it was difficult for him to sleep and eat, and the huge crisis involving An Yi and his entire military and political clique had initially appeared, and An Yi had to concentrate on dealing with it with all his might, and before he left Bengbu, he had already sent a telegram to Lao Shoudao in Nanchang, Yang Bin, Yin Jinan, and Gu Changfeng in southern Sichuan, as well as Zhou Chongan, who was attending the trade fair in Shanghai, asking everyone to rush to Nanchang as soon as possible to discuss major matters.
