[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 244: Meet the Commander

According to the order of the Military Commission, after entering the city, the Seventh Division could make a detour around the main street in the city to be welcomed by the people, and then the whole army was stationed in the Xishan barracks to wait for tomorrow's medal ceremony.

However, as soon as the troops entered the city, Ma Zheng received a new order and immediately went to the Jiang Mansion in the inner city to meet the chairman of the committee. Ma Zheng had to ask his superiors for instructions before replying, but the major officer who passed on the order seemed to have expected such a reaction from Ma Zheng, and immediately told him that Vice Chairman Zhou was waiting for him at the Jiang Mansion.

Upon learning of this, Ma Zheng didn't say a word, and immediately handed over the troops to Huang Sicheng's command, and took Tie Niu and twenty special combat team members to the Jiang Mansion by car.

Although the major officer who came to deliver the order gave Ma Zheng an hour to prepare, Ma Zheng didn't prepare anything at all, and directly asked people to lead the way. He didn't think that he had to prepare anything to see Lao Jiang, for a person like him who had crossed over from the afterlife, it was clear what Lao Jiang was, and he didn't need to prepare anything at all.

Besides, Ma Zheng is not a person in the national government system, he is not afraid of offending Lao Jiang at all, in his eyes, the current Lao Jiang is an ordinary person, far less excited than those bigwigs in Yan'an, after all, people who grew up under the red flag are different from those who grew up in the blue sky and white sun flag.

Ma Zheng still knows a lot about the real Lao Jiang, just as the evaluation of Lao Jiang in Du Niang Encyclopedia: Jiang is a key figure in modern Chinese history, and his political career has had an extremely important impact on the course of modern Chinese history. Ma Zheng does not want to comment too much on Chairman Chiang, who has controlled the Chinese regime for 22 years, because right and wrong are the products of that special era, and they are not necessarily the true portrayal of their hearts.

Regarding China's capital or the path of society, Ma Zheng knows better than anyone which is the right one, so Ma Zheng has never wanted to talk about Lao Jiang's merits and disdain. Besides, he is not a white man now, as a general with tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Suspicion avoidance is required. This is the first thing an officer has to do if he wants to stay in power for a long time, and this is the only bit of political experience that Ma Zheng himself can comprehend. If it weren't for Vice Chairman Zhou, he wouldn't have gone to the Jiang Mansion alone.

The meeting was scheduled for twelve o'clock, and when Ma Zheng arrived at Jiang's mansion, Vice Chairman Zhou had already arrived, and was drinking tea with Lao Jiang under a grapevine in the courtyard. Seeing Ma Zheng follow a major officer walking in from outside, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Come under the trellis. Ma Zheng first saluted a military salute, and then said loudly: "Report chief, Ma Zheng of the Seventh Division of the Duqi Division reports, please instruct!" ”

"General Ma, young hero, sit!" The old man said with emotion.

It can be seen that Lao Jiang's admiration is sincere, in fact, before Ma Zheng's arrival, Lao Jiang had thought about the first meeting between the two, and he was thinking about what he would say to this CCP general.

Originally, Lao Jiang was going to come forward in person to win this fierce general who could win the battle, but when He Yingqin whispered to him. Ma Zheng is the horse madman who the government once offered a reward of 100,000 oceans, and after that, Lao Jiang completely dispelled the idea of wooing Ma Zheng. In the fourth battle to encircle and suppress the Soviet area, it was this guy who dared to counterattack the position defended by a division of the Central Army with an infantry regiment with extremely poor weapons and equipment, and he also won a victory, forcing his plan to encircle and suppress the Red Army in the fourth round. In this regard, Lao Jiang Ke still remembers it deeply.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Lao Jiang never thought that the horse madman would stand in front of him alive. They will also meet so peacefully.

"General Ma has worked hard all the way!" Lao Jiang said with a smile.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't disgrace the Eighth Route Army. And no points were lost to the government! Ma Zheng said.

Lao Jiang felt bitter in his heart, is this showing off? But think about other people's achievements, even if it is to show off, it also requires capital. Think of the fact that it took only a month for this man to fight in Wuhan from the north of the north, and he lost more than 36,000 Japanese in his hands, plus a naval fleet. Such a record is not only not disgraced, but also not lost points. The Eighth Route Army must be remembered by the Chinese people because of Ma Zheng's performance in Wuhan.

During the entire Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army had three field divisions and one infantry brigade fighting against Ma Zheng's troops, but the results were the same, all of them were convinced. The 101st and 106th Divisions and the Hatada Detachment have now been erased from the Japanese battle sequence and will not be rebuilt in the future, while the 6th Division, which has only four main battle wings, has been inexplicably knocked out. It's even more tragic.

Although the Duqi Division also paid an extremely heavy price for this, according to the news transmitted by the Military Unification Bureau, there are mausoleums of the fallen soldiers of the Duqi Division in Hukou, Jiujiang and Shuangfengjian outside Pengze City, according to incomplete statistics, at least more than 10,000 officers and soldiers were buried in these cemeteries, and more than 6,000 people were buried in Shuangfengjian cemetery alone.

Although the casualties of 10,000 people are indeed staggering, they are so insignificant compared to the figure of more than 36,000 Japanese troops. Since the start of the Sino-Japanese war, the casualties of more than ten to one have numbed the supreme leader of the Nationalist Government, and all of a sudden, the Duqi Division has created such a brilliant record, which really makes the oppressed commander ecstatic.

Looking at the confident Ma Zheng, Lao Jiang said with some emotion: "Enlai, your party has many talents!" In politics, there is a talent like Enlai, and in the military there is a fierce general like General Ma, how inferior is the national government! ”

There is also a reason why Lao Jiang praised Vice Chairman Zhou like this, and the two had been together for a period of time before. When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated for the first time, Vice Chairman Zhou served as the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Lao Jiang at that time was the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, so Lao Jiang and Vice Chairman Zhou were old acquaintances, and they knew each other very well.

But later, due to differences in beliefs, the two sides developed into a situation of armed confrontation, and Lao Jiang once offered a huge reward for the arrest of Vice Chairman Zhou, and the two sides can be described as saber-rattling, and the relationship once deteriorated to the extreme.

However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in the face of the uncertain future of the country and the nation, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party worked together to resist Japan. At this time, Vice Chairman Zhou became the intermediary between the two sides, and Lao Jiang still trusted Vice Chairman Zhou's personality and morality.

"Hey, life is like chess, the situation changes in an instant, don't mention the unhappiness in the past, it's sad to talk about it, let's talk about some happy things, what do you say, chairman." Vice Chairman Zhou's eyes were full of sincerity, and he did not want the previous disputes to affect the current cooperation between the KMT and the CPC, let alone the future of the country and the nation.

I don't hate Lao Jiang himself, Vice Chairman Zhou, but it has nothing to do with political beliefs and personality charm, as the so-called Tao is different, and this is what it says.

"Well, that's right, now that we're unanimous with the outside world, don't mention the previous ones!"

In fact, Lao Jiang also hopes that the two sides can really let go of their previous grievances and resist the foreign enemy first, after all, the biggest loss from the Japanese invasion of China is still the Nationalist Government, and as the actual ruler of the government, the biggest loss is Jiang someone.

Moreover, at this time, the meaningful words that Jiang Baili said on Lushan once again swirled in the mind of the old Jiang: "In the war against Japan, no matter how far it goes, it doesn't matter if you lose everything, the final hole card is not to compromise with Japan, and only a long-term war of resistance can defeat Japan." In a word, whether you win or lose, you just don't make peace with him. ”

If you don't resist, everyone else has a way out, even the Japanese like Chen Cheng and He Yingqin will not embarrass them, but he Jiang has no way out! The only thing waiting for him is to be a prisoner. As soon as he thought of the fate of the two unlucky emperors in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Song Qinzong and Song Huizong, Lao Jiang shuddered. He Jiang has gone from being a "Ruiyuan scoundrel" that everyone hates to now being the chairman of a country, and only he himself understands the ups and downs he has experienced along the way, how many times he has wandered between life and death, how many times he has deceived me, and he has been careful at every step.

Now that the country has just completed the nominal reunification, and the Japanese have come to snatch his fruit before the ass is hot, how can he give in. Therefore, it is really not appropriate to bring up the old matter with Yan'an at this time, and cooperation is a win-win situation for both parties. (To be continued.) )
