After sending Yang Shaocheng away, Liu Yi said to Yue Weihan: "Brigade, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Yue Weihan said: "Do you want to tell me that it's best not to have anything to do with the [***] Eighth Route Army?" ”

"That's right." Liu Yi nodded and said, "Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are now in a period of second cooperation, everyone knows that [***] is Chairman Jiang's henchman, and when the devil is over, the two sides will still have to meet each other after all. ”

"So what do you say?" Yue Weihan asked rhetorically, "In order to exterminate us, the army has mobilized two motorized infantry brigades, four cavalry wings and at least two infantry wings, and there will definitely be more devils in the back who will rush towards Lunan, with the existing strength in our hands, how can we break through the siege?" If you can't get out, what can you do to smash the sweep of the army? ”

Liu Yi hesitated: "But if Chairman Jiang knows about this, how can he explain it?" ”

"Explain?" Yue Weihan snorted, "Explain what?" What's there to explain? Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is the established policy, and it is an iron principle that the Chinese do not fight the Chinese; as long as we have a clear conscience, and they will go how others love and how they want to go, and we can't control it, and it is better to go to the battlefield and kill a few more devils with this skill. ”

"Alright, Chief of Staff, don't think about it." Yue Weihan said again, "Hurry up and gather the troops and transfer." ”

Although the search team of the Yue army has not yet found the vicinity of Tunli Village, in order to prevent being bitten by the tail of the Yue army, Yue Weihan's headquarters must be moved every day.

…………

Jinan, the headquarters of the Second Army of the Army.

The commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, was inspecting the simulated sand table in the war room.

After the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Second Army had been subsumed into the North China Front, and its combat mission was mainly to garrison Shandong and be responsible for sweeping the Sun Lianzhong group in the mountainous area of Luzhong, under the jurisdiction of the army in addition to the 10th, 16th, and 108th divisions, there were also the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 10th brigades and regiments mixed with reading, with a total strength of about 100,000 troops.

100,000 people seems like a lot, but it is still stretched to defend the land of Qilu.

The 16th and 108th Divisions were attacking Sun Lianzhong's group in the mountainous area of Luzhong, the 10th Division was stationed in Jinan, which was the mobile force of the General Army, and the four Reading Force Mixed Brigades were stationed in Juxian, Huimin, Hinxian and Qingdao.

The four brigades and regiments have only about 20,000 people, and it is obviously unrealistic to garrison the whole of Shandong; in fact, the army really only controls more than a dozen large and medium-sized cities in Shandong, as well as the traffic checkpoints and key passes along the Jinpu Railway, the Jiaoji Railway, and the canals, and has no time to take care of the vast number of towns and villages, which is also the main reason why the armed forces and bandits are rampant in Shandong.

The chief of staff of the Second Army, Major General Suzuki, led Major General Michi into the war room, gathered his feet and said, "General! ”

"Suzuki-kun, are you here?" Lieutenant General Nishio waved his hand and said, "Have you read the telegram from the Front Army Headquarters?" ”

"Hello." Major General Suzuki bowed his head suddenly, and the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi, had just sent an urgent telegram, according to the latest battle report provided by the Central China Front, the Baoshan Brigade had broken through from Xuzhou, and one of the remnants had already entered the Weishan Lake area, and it was likely that Yue Weihan himself was leading this remnant.

The Weishan Lake area is the most chaotic area in the whole Shandong, Yue Weihan is not a good stubble, it is not easy to clear the remnants of the Baoshan Brigade in the Weishan Lake area and arrest Yue Weihan, although Lieutenant General Xiwei knows that this is a hot potato, but he can only take it head-on, who let the garrison of Shandong be his second army?

Lieutenant General Nishio said, "Suzuki-kun, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Major General Suzuki said: "General, I think that the two infantry wings, two reading motorized infantry brigades, and four reading cavalry wings transferred from the Third Army alone are not enough to wipe out the remnants of the Baoshan Brigade that have infiltrated the Weishan Lake area. ”

"What do you mean......" Lieutenant General Nishio frowned, "transfer the 16th Division to Lunan?" ”

"Nope." Major General Suzuki shook his head and said, "The 16th Division is a mobile unit of the General Army, and it must not be easily mobilized if it is less than 100,000 people, especially now, before the offensive operation against Sun Lianzhong's group in the Luzhong Mountains has not yet been decided, the 16th Division must not act rashly." ”

Lieutenant General Nishio was puzzled and said, "Then what do you mean ......?"

Major General Suzuki said in a deep voice: "The 10th Brigade will be used to block the area north of Weishan Lake with the reading power mixed with the reading power stationed in Hina County, the 6th Brigade will be mixed with the reading power stationed in Ju County to block the area east of Weishan Lake, the area west of Weishan Lake will be blocked with the 116th Infantry Wing, and the area south of Weishan Lake will be blocked with the 124th Infantry Wing, and the remnants of the Baoshan Brigade will be trapped in the area along Weishan Lake first!" ”

After saying this, Major General Suzuki said: "Then two Reading Motorized Infantry Brigades and four Reading Cavalry Wings will form a mobile pursuit team, once the enemy's whereabouts are discovered, they will immediately enter and suppress them, according to the battle report provided by the Central China Front, the remnants of the Baoshan Brigade that have entered the Weishan Lake area are only five or six hundred people, and it should not be difficult to eliminate them." ”

"Yo Si." Lieutenant General Nishio said happily, "Suzuki-kun, this sweep is under your full command. ”

"Hello." Major General Suzuki bowed his head abruptly and said, "I will never fail to live up to the expectations of His Excellency the General. ”

…………

On the south shore of Weishan Lake, Tunli Village.

Because [***] insisted on camping in the open air, and did not enter the village to disturb the people, and the purchase of military rations and forage was also paid according to the price, and there was no forced purchase and sale, so the attitude of the people in the village towards [***] finally changed significantly, just when Yue Weihan's department was about to start, Zhang Dahu in the village picked up a fat pig that had just been slaughtered and sent over.

"Sir, you're going to pull out?" Seeing that [***] was assembling, Zhang Dahu hurriedly unloaded his burden.

Yue Weihan greeted him surrounded by Liu Yi, Niu Dagen and Liu Fengsheng, and said, "Yes, we are going to pull out, there is a lot of disturbance during the day, and please don't be surprised." ”

"Sir, it's all night, are you still leaving?" Zhang Dahu was puzzled.

"Isn't that no way?" Yue Weihan smiled bitterly, "Although the road is easy to walk in broad daylight, there are devil planes in the sky, and we can't act openly, so we can only act at night, and the search team of the little devils is searching us everywhere, we can't stay in one place for too long, otherwise it will be troublesome to be bitten by the little devils." ”

"That's right." Zhang Dahu nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Sir, you have to be careful of Zhao Si." ”

"Zhao Si?" Yue Weihan frowned and said, "Fellow, who is Zhao Si?" Why should we be careful? ”

Zhang Dahu looked back behind him and said softly: "This Zhao Si is an idler in our Tunli Village, and he is also a well-known ruffian in ten miles and eight towns near and far, and he usually likes to do a trick of stealing chickens and touching dogs. ”

"Is this the case?" Yue Weihan suddenly became alert, and Liu Yi also felt that the situation was serious.

This matter can be related to the surnames of more than 500 officers and soldiers, and it is better to believe that they have it than to believe that they do not have it.

As he was talking, a young man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes walked in from the entrance of the village with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Dahu's face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to Yue Weihan: "Sir, this kid is Zhao Si. ”

Yue Weihan suddenly glanced at Liu Yi and Liu Tiezhu, Liu Yi gave an order, and the team that had just been assembled immediately dispersed again, and quickly seized the advantageous position at the entrance of the village, while Liu Tiezhu quickly disappeared into the night at the entrance of the village, but Chu Zhongtian hurriedly rushed forward and pushed Zhao Si to the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing, are you going to do it?" The young man shouted again and again, "It's great to be a soldier, and you can bully people when you become a soldier?" Let me tell you, I'm not easy to mess with, I don't believe you go out to inquire, these ten miles and eight towns talk about me Zhao Si, who the fuck doesn't dare to give a thumbs up? ”

Yue Weihan said coldly: "Why did you go during the day?" ”

"I'm going to the county seat." Zhao Si didn't have a good breath and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"The county seat?" A cold light flashed in Yue Weihan's eyes, and he said, "What are you doing in the county seat?" ”

"Why should I tell you?" Zhao Si rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "[***] Major General? I don't know where to find a major general's uniform, you really used yourself as a major general, who are you scared? I can tell you, I, Zhao Si, have seen the world, [***] Major General can be big, and he can bring more soldiers, how can he be as humble as you? ”

During the trial, Liu Tiezhu came back and said, "Brigade, there are no devils outside the village!" ”

"Devil!?" Zhao Si suddenly said, "What do you mean?" Do you dare to think that when I Zhao Si entered the county, I just reported to the devil? Phew! Is this the kind of person I Zhao Si has? Saying that, Zhao Si saw Zhang Dahu standing next to him again, and immediately said angrily, "Zhang Laosan, it must be your gluttonous words, right?" Damn, didn't Lao Tzu just take a few more glances at your daughter, and didn't really do anything, can you do it? ”

This was obviously a misunderstanding, and Yue Weihan immediately signaled Chu Zhongtian to release him.

"Brother Zhao, I'm really sorry." Yue Weihan clenched his fists and said.

"Nothing." Zhao Si shook his arm that was a little numb, and said with a big grin, "I don't blame you for this. ”

Yue Weihan is not too entangled with this ruffian, he ordered the troops to transfer at the moment, and of course he would not forget to piggyback on the fat pig donated by Zhang Dahu before leaving, although Yue Weihan is not short of money now, he may save money, after all, now that the financial resources have been cut off, the future expenses of the troops will all point to him Yue Weihan.

Seeing the [***] troops disappear under the night sky, Zhao Si turned back to Zhang Dahu and said, "Zhang Laosan, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Dahu obviously didn't want to have too many disputes with Zhao Si, so he hurriedly ran back to his house, but Zhao Si chased after Zhang Dahu unrelentingly, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Laosan, your daughter will be mine sooner or later!" ”
