Chapter 23: The Heroes' Club

Chen Zikun laughed heartily: "I brought a double happiness adjutant." There was a box during the airdrop, but unfortunately it fell into the river. ”

Gai Longquan was disappointed: "You came alone." ”

Chen Zikun said: "So what, when I come, I have everything." ”

Gai Longquan was stunned for a moment, and his brain, which was anesthetized by alcohol, finally woke up, who is Chen Zikun, a dignified general of the national government, a handsome man who is full of words, he can make the brothers be wronged? It seems that the hard days in the mountains have really come to an end.

"Brothers, the handsome man is back, it's time for us to open again, drink!" Gai Longquan raised the wine bowl, and the minions below followed the screaming, excited and inexplicable.

Chen Zikun left Jiangbei for a year, and he didn't know much about the current situation, Gai Longquan opened the chatterbox, saying that since the guerrilla army was dispersed, the Japanese and the traitors and the two devils claimed the king and hegemony, and everyone was chased around like a lost dog, until half a year ago gradually gained a foothold in the mountains, and now there are many armed forces in Jiangbei, in addition to the guerrillas of the national army system, there are also the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, and the bandits are all over the place.

"*** is here too?" Chen Zikun frowned.

"Yes, what is it called the Daqingshan detachment, at first there were only a few dozen people, but now it is getting bigger and bigger, there are hundreds of people and horses, entrenched in the area of Niumazhuang, recruiting troops and horses is very lively, the leader is called Wu Changqing, I heard that he is a ruthless character, and your nephew Zhao Ziming is also not bad, and he pulled up a team of men and horses to be the commander." Gai Longquan talked eloquently.

"What about Chen Shou and Zeng Jiao?"

"This kid claims to be a regular army, with hundreds of people under his command, who are active in the area of Kushuijing, and his strength is the largest.

After Gai Longquan's introduction, Chen Zikun finally understood a little, the situation in Jiangbei is complicated, armed and numerous, not subordinate to each other, no one obeys anyone, no wonder the situation cannot be opened for a long time, but with his arrival, these situations will be effectively improved.

He first ordered Chen Shou and Zeng Jiao to be found, and the old subordinates got together for a meeting to discuss how to integrate the anti-Japanese forces in Jiangbei.

"If you want me to say, whoever is disobedient will be beaten, and the *** will be cleaned up first, and the rest of the small miscellaneous fish will not be a problem." Chen Shou said that his troops had clashed with the Eighth Route Army and formed a relationship.

Gai Longquan echoed: "What Chen Shou said this time is reasonable, *** that is a mouse, the cubs can't catch up quickly, and there are litters everywhere, and they have to be destroyed before they can fight Japan with peace of mind." ”

Zeng Jiao is a water bandit in the Huaijiang River, and he doesn't pay much attention to things on land, he just said that I will do whatever the commander-in-chief arranges.

Chen Zikun said: "In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei guerrilla zone, I ordered that after three days, all the leaders of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Jiangbei should gather at Kushuijing. ”

Everyone is gearing up and ready to do a big job.

……

Niumazhuang, the Daqingshan detachment of the Eighth Route Army, political commissar Ye hurriedly entered the office of the detachment leader Wu Changqing with a letter, the detachment leader was squatting on the ground to feed the chickens, and when he saw the political commissar coming in, he stood up and greeted: "Xuefeng, you are here, come into the house and drink saliva." ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "Don't drink it, it's urgent." As he spoke, he slapped a letter on the table and said angrily: "The recalcitrant army is about to provoke friction again, and they actually ordered us to go to a meeting, I think this is clearly a Hongmen banquet!" ”

Wu Changqing picked up the letter and browsed it, and finally fixed his eyes on the big seal.

"Yin, commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei Guerrilla Zone of the Third War Zone, hehe, it's quite big, by the way, Xuefeng, I heard that you still have some relationship with this Commander Chen?" Wu Changqing gently put down the letter and poured a bowl of water for Ye Xuefeng.

Ye Xuefeng said: "Yes, I know this General Chen Zikun, it was still during the Great Revolution, I was engaged in the underground labor movement in Shanghai, one of my superiors was unfortunately arrested by the enemy, he came forward to rescue him, and then I met one or two more in succession, but I am not very familiar." ”

Wu Changqing said: "If you are not familiar with it, you can also talk about your opinions." ”

Ye Xuefeng fell into deep thought, reached out and touched his body, the cigarette case was deflated.

Wu Changqing took out his cigarette pouch and went over, Ye Xuefeng was not polite, lit it and took a puff, and said: "Chen Zikun is a Beiyang warlord, and it stands to reason that he should be a representative of decadent reaction, but he is also a member of the Kuomintang, a student studying in the United States, and his life is completely Westernized, he is a speculative politician, whoever gains power will take refuge in whomever he wants, Wu Peifu directly, Zhang Xueliang of the Feng family, and Feng Yuxiang, a patriotic general, have all been his backers, of course, he is now taking refuge in Chiang Kai-shek. ”

"Go on." Wu Changqing listened very carefully, took out a pen and put it on his tongue, and made a note in his notebook.

"He is good at collecting money, but sympathetic to the people, once in the ruling area to implement a limited policy of benefiting the people, but due to its own revolution is not thorough, in the end it still failed, he is resistant to our party, but because of personal relations and our party has a lot of contact, it is worth mentioning that this person's determination to resist Japan is still very firm, in the Songhu battlefield to invest a large number of troops, in the North Thailand defense war, is to fight the old book, now is a lonely one."

Wu Changqing said: "According to what you say, this person is a complex of contradictions, why did he choose this time to come to Jiangbei?" ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "Some time ago, there was a scandal about Chongqing and the Japanese invaders making peace in private, which is said to be related to Chen. ”

Wu Changqing stopped writing and said: "Let's analyze, Chen Zikun has a complicated background, he is not a descendant general of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek has squeezed out his use value, and now he is used as an outcast, in terms of his political wisdom, it should be clear, in this case, we should pull him and pull him to the side of the people." ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "Detachment leader, so you are ready to go to the meeting?" ”

Wu Changqing nodded: "If you want to go, you must go, in general, Chen Zikun is the commander of the Jiangbei guerrilla area appointed by Chongqing, although the Daqingshan Detachment of our Eighth Route Army is not under his direct jurisdiction, but it belongs to the same district, and there must be some contacts; From a small aspect, if we don't go, won't it give them an excuse, isn't the stubborn army led by Chen Shou always trying to cause friction, and can't create opportunities for them. ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "Detachment leader, it's too dangerous, you can't go, otherwise, I'll go for you." ”

Wu Changqing smiled indifferently: "No matter how dangerous it is, there is the danger of climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands, how many winds and strong Langs have come, I believe that Marx will not be in such a hurry to summon me." ”

Ye Xuefeng still insisted, Wu Changqing said earnestly: "Xuefeng, I am a military cadre, and there are still people on top of the sacrifice, you are a political work cadre, without you, the direction of the troops will not be accurate, or I will go, this is an order." ”

"Detachment leader......" Ye Xuefeng was speechless.

Wu Changqing said: "Work behind the enemy, there is a long way to go, we first came here, one poor and two white, before the war, each soldier issued three bullets, or a reloading bullet made in a military factory, ten rounds can be fired seven rounds is good, after running out of bullets, you can only fight with the enemy with bayonets, with fists and teeth, the soldiers can't keep up with food and clothing, it's too hard, the Jiangbei region can't open the situation for a long time, not because the enemy is too strong, but because the anti-Japanese armed forces are not united, now Chen Zikun is here, this dilemma finally has hope to be solved, As long as we twist into a rope, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the Japanese, and I went this time to persuade him to stop friction and unite to resist Japan. ”

Ye Xuefeng finally nodded: "Okay, detachment leader, I support you." ”

……

Nantai County, the devil's stronghold, in front of Captain Yamada's desk, the pseudo-county magistrate Xia Jingqi stood on his knees.

"County Magistrate Xia, what do you look like?" Captain Yamada asked, pointing to the white shirt with blood written on it.

Xia Jingqi looked down, and his face changed greatly: "The murderer Chen Zikun is also, Chen Zikun is here!" It's not a good thing, Taijun Yamada. ”

"Nani? What does this Chan Tze Kun do? "Yamada has just been transferred, and he is not very clear about the affairs of Jiangbei.

"Report to Taijun Yamada, Chen Zikun is the work of the army general of the National Government."

"Admiral?" Yamada was very suspicious, "County Magistrate Xia, do you think Chongqing will send general-level officers to Nantai?" That's a general of the same level as the six generals of Hata Shun, in the words of your Shina, isn't it a knife to kill chickens. ”

"This ...... Taijun, you must not be guarded, I suggest sending capable personnel to the countryside to investigate, if it is true, you must quickly ask General Tian Lu to send reinforcements. ”

"Okay, County Magistrate Xia, I'll leave this matter to you."

……

Chen Shou is a bitter water well person, in the early years in this area as a bandit, later developed, distant relatives and neighbors have followed the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, did not expect more than ten years to pass, the more alive and more back, from the national army generals to bandits, hundreds of brothers, known as the regular army of the national army, entrenched in a radius of fifty miles, there are guns and cannons, the strength is extraordinary.

Shuangxi came to contact first, and Chen Shou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that Chen Zikun had arrived, and asked his brother, how many people did the commander bring, and how much military pay and firearms? The answer naturally disappointed him, but Shuangxi said: "The commander-in-chief is here, what are you worried about, asking for people and guns, isn't it just a matter of one sentence." ”

This is reasonable, Jiangbei is full of heroes, and what is missing is a backbone, and this candidate is none other than Chen Zikun.

Therefore, Chen Shou strongly supported Chen Zikun's proposal to convene a military conference, which was the best opportunity to integrate the Jiangbei forces.

Three days passed quickly, and many people came near the bitter water well, and the Chen family ancestral hall in the village is now Chen Zikun's temporary headquarters, and Zeng Jiao has salvaged the airborne equipment box that fell into the river, which contains the general's full set of clothes, including tweed uniforms, armed belts, swords, leather boots, medals, etc., as well as a large stack of blank letters of appointment.

When the leaders of all walks of life came to the meeting, Chen Zikun had already changed his outfit, a dark green tweed military uniform, a medal of blue sky and white sun hanging on his chest, meticulous armed belts, shiny riding boots, spotless white gloves, sitting in a precarious position, not angry and arrogant.

Everyone was intimidated by his powerful aura, no matter how arrogant people were, they didn't dare to go out of the air, and suddenly the well-known thorn Zhao Ziming strode in, this kid is not afraid of heaven and earth, and if he can't get off the horse, the commander-in-chief will have to use it on him.

How do you know that Zhao Ziming opened his mouth and shouted uncle.
