"Commander Ma actually knows about our New Eighth Army, hehehe, thank you Commander Ma for your love, and thank you for remembering our motley army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Regardless of whether the cooperation between us can be successful or not, but Commander Ma's affection is my honor. Dare to ask Commander Xie how to unite this joint anti-Japanese effort, and who obeys whose leadership? ”

Although Gao Shuxun was surprised that Ma Zheng would send someone to discuss with him about the joint anti-Japanese war, he still knew that the joint anti-Japanese war could not be started as soon as he said it. So, at the outset, he mentioned the sensitive issue of leadership.

Before Xie Wensheng came, Ma Zheng had told him to pay attention to the tone of his speech with friendly troops, and at the same time told him that once the friendly troops asked about the question of leadership, he should tell the truth that the leadership must be the absolute leadership of the Eighth Route Army, and other things can be discussed, but the leadership of the army is not to be discussed.

"General Gao, I think you have already understood the current situation, the Japanese army is determined to get along with your army, and it seems that the New Eighth Army will not give up if it is not destroyed. And the reinforcements on Chairman Chiang's side are also far away, so the destruction of the New Eighth Army is only a matter of time, I wonder if I said Commander Gao agrees? Xie Wensheng said in a deep voice.

Xie Wensheng said it very bluntly, although it is difficult to accept, but it is a fact. Although Gao Shuxun wanted to say that he didn't agree with these three words, he knew that Xie Wensheng was telling the truth.

"Division Commander Xie is right, our New Eighth Army is now at a critical moment of life and death, if there is no help from your army, the destruction of the New Eighth Army is almost a foregone conclusion. However, I believe that Your Excellency will definitely not come here to talk to me about this, and if you have anything to say, please say that it is not the style of your army, let alone the style of Commander Ma Zheng. ”

Gao Shuxun is not a good person, he can gain a firm foothold among warlords of all sizes, and Gao Shuxun still has his own set.

Xie Wensheng said with a straight face: "General Gao, what our commander means is that the leadership of the army is still under the command of each other, but during our joint operations, the supreme command of the whole army is still handed over to our army, but our army will do its best to ensure the safety of your army." ”

"What do you mean by doing your best to keep us safe, and what guarantees do you take? If it were Commander Ma Zheng's elite troops, I would still believe that they would have this strength, but as far as I know, life on Commander Ma Zheng's side doesn't seem to be easy now. The Japanese army dispatched more than 100,000 troops to attack the Suicha Military Region led by Commander Ma Zheng at once, and he himself seemed to be a mud bodhisattva, not to mention your troops. Gao Shuxun said disdainfully.

Once it comes to the leadership of the army, no one will give in to either Xie Wensheng or Gao Shuxun, and naturally they will not be as kind as before.

Xie Wensheng continued: "General Gao, since we dare to say this, we must have our reasons, and please believe that we have the strength to ensure the safety of you and your troops. ”

"I don't believe your guarantee, although you are also the Eighth Route Army, and even you said that you were asked by General Ma Zheng to come, but forgive me for being lonely, the Eighth Route Army does not seem to have the title of instructor, and there is no such person as Your Excellency among the senior officers of the Eighth Route Army, do you say that we can believe your guarantee?"

Then Gao Shuxun continued: "Besides, now the Japanese army in southern Hebei has more than 50,000 troops, and they are also equipped with chariots and artillery, and as far as I know, your army does not even seem to have a regular artillery unit, how can Your Excellency let me Gao someone rest assured that the lives of his twenty or thirty thousand brothers are in your hands." ”

Xie Wensheng was not far behind, and still said confidently: "Commander Gao, you and I are both soldiers, regardless of the political differences between us, as far as the profession of soldiers is concerned, it is the duty of my generation to protect the family and defend the country, and it is not right to fight a civil war no matter why, neither you nor we have been winners in the past ten years." So please believe in our sincerity, we will not let your army be used as cannon fodder. ”

"As for my identity, there is no need to doubt General Gao, I am indeed not the old Eighth Road, before last year I have been serving in the Jin Sui Army, it turned out that a regiment commander under General Li Fuying was wounded and captured during the Battle of Tianzhen, and was later rescued by the Eighth Route Army, and then joined the Eighth Route Army and served under General Ma Zheng. And the instructor of the Eighth Route Army was also called not long ago, this unit was personally trained by Commander Ma Zheng, and is currently stationed in the area of Liaocheng, Shandong, and can go to southern Hebei at any time! casually tell General Gao a secret, the Eighth Route Army formed the Shandong Military Region not long ago, and the commander is also surnamed Ma! ”

"The surname is Ma? Could it be that the commander of the Shandong Military Region is His Excellency Ma Zheng? Gao Shuxun asked in surprise.

Xie Wensheng snorted and said, "This can't be said, can't be said!" Hahaha! ”

"What is there to say, since your army is here, you have to talk openly and honestly, and besides, there are only a few of us here, and nothing can be said!" Gao Shuxun said.

Xie Wensheng did not answer Gao Shuxun's question directly, but said: "Before I came, our commander said that whether your Kuomintang troops were annihilated by the Japanese army or our Eighth Route Army was defeated by the Japanese invaders, it was our Chinese national defense strength that was lost. Now that we are a country with no defense, we have been beaten to our homes by a mere Oriental pirates, which is a shame for our generation of soldiers. ”

"Anti-Japanese resistance is not just talking, it requires us to pay in earnest, and it also requires us to trust each other and share weal and woe. Originally, according to the opinions of other leaders of our army, most people did not plan to go to the troubled waters of southern Hebei, but Commander Ma Zheng did his best to support your army's battle in Handan, and also mobilized the existing troops in his hands to be ready to support the battle in southern Hebei at any time. ”

Xie Wensheng slowed down and continued: "Commander Gao, in order to ensure that southern Hebei does not fall into the hands of the enemy, and to strike a more severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army and win the victory of this anti-sweep, our army has specially set up a former enemy headquarters, and Commander Ma Zheng is fully responsible for all the battles. I can responsibly tell you that the strength of the Eighth Route Army is far from what you see. ”

"The reason why I came here to unite your army this time is, on the one hand, out of the duty of a friendly army, and I don't want your army to be completely annihilated by the Japanese invaders in southern Hebei. On the other hand, our Commander Ma Zhenghan believes that Commander Gao will become our comrade sooner or later, and southern Hebei is also a territory that our army must take, so I hope that Commander Gao can carefully consider the issue of the leadership of the troops on both sides. ”

Gao Shuxun is also a smart person, although he talked to Xie Wensheng about the leadership of the army as soon as he came up, although it seemed abrupt, but if you think about it carefully, you can find his intentions.

Now that the New Eighth Army is in an extremely dangerous situation, it is not suitable to negotiate conditions with the Eighth Route Army at all, but it should be afraid that the Eighth Route Army will withdraw like this. Gao Shuxun's remarks confirmed the fact that the Eighth Route Army and the New Eighth Army jointly resisted Japan, no matter who led who in the end, but the Eighth Route Army must send troops to rescue the New Eighth Army, at least to ensure that his troops are not completely annihilated by the Japanese army.

It can be seen from this that Gao Shuxun is powerful, with a few words, he won the corresponding interests for the new Eighth Army and the Sixty-ninth Army, and successfully tied the Eighth Route Army to the same chariot with him, as for the leadership of the army, it is just a disguise, and now since a lot of useful information has been set out from Xie Wensheng's mouth, Gao Shuxun himself is already very satisfied, so he readily agreed to the cooperation between the two sides.

According to the cooperation plan formulated by Ma Zheng, Gao Shuxun, as the representative of the Nationalist Government in southern Hebei, the Eighth Route Army would help Gao Shuxun's troops gain a firm foothold in southern Hebei without violating the regulations, and also handed over Handan and other important cities to them for management according to the agreement with Shi Yousan, but Gao Shuxun and the entire New Eighth Army must cover the development of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei on the surface.
