Secretary Wu looked at them and said calmly: "I found some information about this Zhuang Jihua this afternoon," he said, pointing to a stack of newspapers on the table: "I found this a very interesting person, you see that he fought in the most brutal civil war since the Republic of China, with his qualifications and merits, he can easily get a high-ranking officer, step into the upper echelons of the Kuomintang army, but he ran to Germany, and then left the military in Germany, returned to China last year, was arrested in Shanghai and escorted to Nanjing, He then served as Deputy Director of the Resources Committee and Leader of the Southwest Development Task Force. Comrades, we only see him as a high-ranking Kuomintang official, so we take it for granted that he is against us and against the resistance. ”

Hearing this, Xuanxia's father couldn't help but interject: "Secretary Wu, I had dealings with him when I was in Huangpu, and according to my observation, he will definitely not lean towards us, I have talked to Comrade Jiang Xianyun about this issue, and he also agrees with my point of view. ”

Jiang Xianyun's reputation has become famous throughout the country with the achievements of Hubei, Henan and Anhui in recent years, although he has now been suppressed and suppressed, but this news is still controlled by the top level of the Fourth Front Army, and even the central government does not know, so at this moment Xuanxia's father put forward his argument to support himself is very powerful.

"Well," Secretary Wu nodded and said, "I have a question that has been lingering in my mind when I was reading his information today, that is, why did he leave, if he didn't go, what should his current position be?" Saying that, he looked at Xuanxia's father and Xu Quanzhong, and the two of them were stopped by his question, Guan Linzheng, Song Xilian, Hu Zongnan and other his original subordinates are now division commanders, if he doesn't leave, at least he will not be lower than the division commander's position.

"Comrade Father, you have only been in Guangzhou for a few months, so what happened after you left? Will Comrade Jiang Xianyun and Comrade Zhou Enlai do his work? We don't know any of this, and the Northern Bureau did not forward us this information, but when I analyzed his information, I don't think he was opposed to the party, at least not so hostile. Secretary Wu said.

It is worthy of being a trained and experienced veteran party member in Soviet Russia. Zhuang Jihua's experience Xuanxia's father also knew that he had never analyzed it from this angle, and today Secretary Wu said this, he tried to analyze it from such an angle, and found that Secretary Wu's conclusion was reasonable. He remembered talking to Jiang Xianyun about Zhuang Jihua before leaving Huangpu, Jiang Xianyun's attitude, and now he admitted that he had neglected their efforts.

"Secretary Wu, even if he is not hostile to us, then what can he do? There's no way he's going to join our cause. Although admitting Secretary Wu's analysis, Xuanxia's father still didn't understand how this would help their work in Zhangjiakou, because no matter what, Zhuang Jihua would definitely not join them, and he still had this point.

"Well, I don't think so," Secretary Wu thought about it and said, "I have a bold idea, a bit of a risk, Comrade Xuanxia, are you willing to take this risk?" ”

"You're not asking me to turn against him, are you?" Xuanxia's father asked in a stunned and cautious manner, to be honest, if it was really as he expected, he had no confidence, and the assertion he made back then was still fresh in his memory.

"Of course not," Secretary Wu shook his head and said: "But it's not impossible to get in touch, Comrade Xia Father, you are the most suitable person, look at his details, this will help us understand the purpose of his coming, and it will also help our work." ”

Xuanxia's father was about to nod after thinking about it, but Xu Quanzhong reminded: "Secretary Wu, I agree with your proposal, but should I discuss such a major move with Secretary Zhang." ”

Xu Quanzhong said that Secretary Zhang is Zhang Mutao, secretary of the Frontline Working Committee, that is, Zhang Jinjian as Dai Li's mouth said, once served as the secretary of the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee, last year the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee split, was once expelled from the party, and then arrested, and resumed his party membership after being released from prison, and is currently the secretary of the Zhangjiakou Special Committee and the secretary of the Frontline Working Committee.

Secretary Wu stretched his long waist and yawned: "Of course, I won't go tomorrow, I am responsible for reporting to the organization, but, Comrade Father, you have to prepare first, as soon as Secretary Zhang approves, you will take action." ”

"Then you have to move quickly." Xuanxia's father smiled and said, "He's leaving, but it's no fun." ”

"Don't worry, I'm afraid that your classmate will have to stay for many days, and some of them have time." Secretary Wu seemed to be really sleepy, he walked to the inner room as he spoke, and forgot to tell him: "I'm sleeping, you talk quietly, especially you, Xuan cannon, low your voice." ”

Xuanxia's father and Xu Quanzhong looked at each other and smiled, this scene was too familiar to them.

Zhuang Jihua slept Meimei in the hotel, not only did he sleep, but everyone including the guard platoon slept Meimei, in Zhuang Jihua's words, there was enough standing guard outside, do you have to worry about safety. So the next day, when Fu Zuoyi led his subordinates to visit, he was still lying in bed.

Fu Zuoyi chose the time to visit but painstakingly, last night he received a report that the train station was under martial law, he was stunned at that time, and sent someone to inquire only to know that it was Huang Shaohong and Zhuang Jihua who came to Zhangjiakou, which made him a little puzzled. And if it's just Zhuang Jihua who arrives in Zhangjiakou, Fu Zuoyi can ignore it; But Huang Shaohong is different, he is now Fu Zuoyi's nominal boss (now Fu Zuoyi's department is under the jurisdiction of the Beiping Army Branch and participates in the Great Wall War of Resistance), so he should go to the train station to greet him, but this lack of notice made him wonder if Huang Shaohong had any special purpose, and then remembered the report from the garrison headquarters in the afternoon about the special forces of the Yueben, and now he was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but there was a limit to this pretending to be deaf and dumb, and it was just one night. Early in the morning, he not only conveyed hints to Feng Yuxiang, but also showed his attitude to Huang Shaohong, and he should not be offended on both sides.

Huang Shaohong was very happy to see Fu Zuoyi, and hurriedly welcomed them into the living room and asked people to call Zhuang Jihua; After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhuang Jihua pushed the door in.

"Brother Yisheng, this is Chairman Gao Zu, General Zhuang Jihua Zhuang Cultural Revolution." Huang Shaohong introduced to Fu Zuoyi.

Fu Zuoyi saw that the people who pushed the door in were not dressed neatly, his face was full of sleep, and he looked down on him a little, but his face was very calm, and his thoughts in his heart were not revealed at all.

Zhuang Jihua actually got up a long time ago, but Wu Ziniu didn't make it clear when he passed the word, he thought that it was still someone from the garrison headquarters, so he made this appearance, and after entering the door, he found that it was actually a general of the Jin Sui Army wearing a blue military uniform, so he hurriedly sorted out the military appearance.

"You, this is General Fu Zuoyi, General Chen Bingqian, General Yuan Qingzeng, not from the Garrison Headquarters." Huang Shaohong looked at Zhuang Jihua with a smile and shook his head: "He is like electricity, you can put it away." ”

"Salute." After Zhuang Jihua straightened up his military appearance, he raised his hand and performed a standard military salute.

After listening to Huang Shaohong's words, Fu Zuoyi understood after thinking about it a little, he was also a little funny in his heart, and was about to speak after standing up to return the salute, but Zhuang Jihua preemptively said: "Since acting is going to play a full set, that Wu Ziniu didn't make it clear, I thought it was the same gang last night, General Fu, please don't be surprised." ”

Fu Zuoyi said with a smile: "If you dare to love you, you are here to act when you come to Zhangjiakou." ”

"That is, now Zhangjiakou is the time of the gathering of the wind and clouds, and I want to use this treasure land to play a big show, and I hope that the general will be successful." Zhuang Jihua replied casually.

"Oh, what kind of script is that?" After exchanging glances, Fu Zuoyi said lightly: "Whether the play is good or not is the script first." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled at Huang Shaohong after hearing this, and Huang Shaohong said with some "dissatisfaction": "You and I have different tasks, you are the director of this play, so naturally you should explain it, I don't do anything to plunder people's beauty." ”

"Then I'll say," Zhuang Jihua was not polite, he turned his head to Fu Zuoyi and said sincerely: "I heard that when 918, the general once sent a telegram to the central government to ask for a war of resistance, and the Rehe War started, and the general led his troops to Chahar to provoke the defense of the western front of the Great Wall. ”

Fu Zuoyi didn't answer, but his eyebrows moved slightly, he didn't like this kind of flattery, such words were meaningless; Fortunately, Zhuang Jihua flattered and turned to the topic:

At present, our army has two armies in Chadong, the 61st Army and the General's 59th Army (the number of the 35th Army was temporarily changed to the 59th Army before sending troops), although these two armies actually only have two divisions, but the strength of the Army on the opposite side is weaker, mainly the puppet army, and there are only small groups of troops in key areas, so the military branch believes that it is feasible to launch a counterattack in this direction."

Zhuang Jihua said this to look at Fu Zuoyi, the latter's brows were furrowed, and his eyes wandered, Zhuang Jihua couldn't see his thoughts, so he had to continue: "Wu Ziniu brought the map. ”

Wu Ziniu pushed the door in and spread the map on the table, but the table was a little small, Zhuang Jihua took the map and spread it directly on the ground.

"The idea of the army branch is that the two armies of the Seventh Army (Fu Zuoyi is the commander-in-chief) will attack from the direction of Dushikou and attack in the direction of Fengning and Tuchengzi, threatening the flank of the enemy at Gubeikou, and your offensive will inevitably attract the attention of the enemy, and they will inevitably divide their troops from the front of Gubeikou, so as to create conditions for our army's counterattack in the direction of Gubeikou..." Zhuang Jihua pointed to the map and analyzed in detail the various changes in the battlefield after Fu Zuoyi's troops launched a counterattack, Huang Shaohong and Fu Zuoyi first sitting, then squatting, and finally everyone lay on the floor.

"The army also has garrisons in the enclosure and Chifeng, what if they transfer troops from here?" Fu Zuoyi asked.

"Chief of Staff Huang is going to Guyuan to see Sun Dianying, he will persuade General Sun Dianying to send two troops, one near the paddock and the other near Chaoyang. General Fu, your task is not to fight hard with the enemy, if the enemy comes to help, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, take them to the west, or to the north, at that time, they must divide their troops from Gubeikou, and the reinforcements from other directions must resolutely strike, and the harder the fight, the better. ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone revealed a murderous aura, Fu Zuoyi's heart was moved, but he still had concerns: "Two questions, first, will Sun Dianying participate in this counterattack?" ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, Huang Shaohong knew that it was time for him to come forward, he thought about it and said: "There are rumors that he made a Han annihilation, to be honest, I don't believe it, I'm going to Guyuan to see, if he doesn't surrender, then I will persuade him to participate, I have prepared 600,000 oceans of military expenses for him, and his fighting style is the same as yours, the purpose is to contain and harass and force the enemy to divide his troops, so I am eighty percent sure." ”

Fu Zuoyi nodded, Sun Dianying's department is a miscellaneous card among the miscellaneous cards, military spending has always been tight, 600,000 oceans have a great attraction to him, and according to his previous contacts, this person still dares to act (otherwise how dare to dig Cixi's grave), and there is a certain positive surname in the confrontation.

"Before sending out the troops, Mr. Yan once said that his consent must be obtained before major actions, will Mr. Yan agree to this plan?"

I'm afraid this is the most difficult thing for Fu Zuoyi, Zhuang Jihua thought to himself, this is a common problem of soldiers in this era, and he doesn't know what to do, so he has to look at Huang Shaohong for help.

"You don't have to worry about this question, the chairman has already sent someone to persuade Mr. Yan." Huang Shaohong also couldn't hold Yan Xishan's thoughts, this Shanxi old man was too fine, Fu Zuoyi's department was the main force in the Jin army, so it was really difficult for him to take it out like this, so Huang Shaohong changed his tone and said: "However, Brother Yisheng, I want to say two words, not to mention that the general will not be affected by the king's life outside, your brother makes a statement, the right one is electrified, and asks to resist, now there is a real chance, but you push left and right, it seems that your words are just to say." ”

Fu Zuoyi smiled: "Chief of Staff Huang, your radical method is a bit outdated. My problem is that most of the equipment of the troops is made in Shanxi, and the consumption of bullets, shells, and grenades must be transported from Taiyuan. ”

Zhuang Jihua interjected at this time: "General Fu, the chairman of the committee has made up his mind this time, not only transferred the 17th Army, but now also transferred the 14th Army and the 87th Division, and at the same time allocated a large amount of military funds, and we can buy the weapons and ammunition that the general needs. ”

Fu Zuoyi nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Fu will obey the order, when will he start attacking?" ”

As soon as Fu Zuoyi's words fell, he saw a little reproach in the eyes of his chief of staff, Chen Bingqian, and he knew that he was reproaching him for agreeing too quickly.

"General Fu is a little anxious," without waiting for Chen Bingqian to speak, Zhuang Jihua smiled and said: "Whether the counteroffensive of the Seventh Army Corps starts depends on two conditions,"

Zhuang Jihua said here and pointed his finger at the long transportation line of the Yue army: "First of all, Sun Dianying's 41st Army moved first, they attracted the attention of the enemy in Chaoyang and Chifeng in the paddock, and then the anti-Yue Volunteer Army used the same way to cut off or disturb the transportation line of the Yue army, and after the main force of the Yue army moved to their rear, it was the time for General Fu to attack." ”

Fu Zuoyi was completely relieved at this time, although this plan was not the slightest bite, but it was obvious that this was not a hard-fought plan, and it was described as a traditional Chinese military tactic, that is, to confuse the enemy first, and then divide the situation, and finally launch a fatal blow. Although Zhuang Jihua didn't say where the fatal blow was, he could completely judge that the blow was at Gubeikou.
