Xiao Guodong and Tao Rong had already seen that Song Zhewu was a little embarrassed, and they both stopped laughing at this time.

After Song Zhewu waited for Xiao Guodong to fill in the text according to his requirements, Song Zhewu said to Xiao Guodong: "Chief of Staff Xiao, you are now taking this manuscript to Zhao Pilian and asking him to come forward and find newspapers in Taiyuan that have news exchange relations with newspapers in Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, and ask them to pass this manuscript to them overnight, no matter how much it costs, you must see the newspaper tomorrow." However, do not publish it in Shanxi, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

The idea of writing this article to win the sympathy of the Chinese people, and at the same time to force Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang to do something and end the war in Shanxi as soon as possible was indeed put forward by Wang Xinggang and written by him. Therefore, Song Zhewu pushed this very upside-down article onto Wang Xinggang, and he was still a little blushing.

In fact, as soon as this idea was put forward by Wang Xinggang, Song Zhewu applauded loudly in his heart, and at the same time secretly regretted in his heart, how to forget Wang Xinggang aside, it was time to use him well.

However, this is not something that Wang Xinggang, who has always been cautious, put forward for no reason, Wang Xinggang suggested to Song Zhewu that there is definitely a reason for writing such a very upside-down article. This is after Song Zhewu "inadvertently" helped Wang Xinggang a lot, Wang Xinggang was grateful, so he offered this wonderful plan.

It turned out that on the night Song Zhewu arrived in Taiyuan, according to the deployment of the "Turtledove Plan", Fang Zhen, who had fully taken over the Shanxi police, reported, "There are more than 20 [***] suspects in Shanxi Model Prison, especially one of them, there is also a merchant selling persimmons who claims to be Wang Shengxiu, according to the prison records, it is likely that he is the big boss of Shanxi [***]." Based on Song Zhewu's always ambiguous attitude towards [***], Fang Zhen did not dare to make a claim, so he came to ask Song Zhewu for instructions on how to deal with it.

Listening to Fang Zhen's report, Song Zhewu was very startled, Song Zhewu was unprepared for this matter, and even in the "Turtledove Plan", the aftermath arrangements after the occupation of Shanxi were not taken into account at all, but Fang Zhen's remark evoked Song Zhewu's memory.

After Yan Xishan went into the wilderness in his previous life, Xu Yongchang killed some [***] who were locked up in Shanxi Model Prison, and it seems that he also killed a special committee secretary named Liu Tianzhang, but this Liu Tianzhang doesn't seem to be in prison now? Could it be that his appearance has changed some of the history by himself?

However, Song Zhewu doesn't have time to study whether because of his appearance, how much the trajectory of history has changed, and he must properly deal with these [***] in prison as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in big trouble in the future.

Even if these people in Shanxi do not report, it will not be able to be hidden, at least the prison personnel and the people in charge of security in the Jin Sui army will know about it, for example, Zhang Dasan and Kong Wei must know that if it leaks out in the future, Nanjing will ask him for someone, and if he can't get it out, it will not be a good thing, and a suspicion of the Communist Party will not be able to escape.

Therefore, this person must not be blatantly released casually, and as for killing, it is definitely not in Song Zhewu's consideration.

These people can't be killed, and they can't be let go casually, which makes Song Zhewu very embarrassed, and he thought anxiously for a long time, and suddenly remembered Wang Xinggang, this "chess piece" that he had laid down a long time ago, and couldn't help but light up.

Naturally, the more secretive this matter is, the better, and Song Zhewu did not wait for dawn, and immediately ordered Liang Bi to find Wang Xinggang.

Song Zhewu told Wang Xinggang very casually: "Fang Zhen is in charge of taking over the police work in Shanxi, and there are a lot of things, and he is a little too busy. When Yan Xishan was in power, he arrested a lot of people, although there were criminal criminals, but more of them resisted donations and taxes, or they couldn't pay usury, it is said that there are more than 20 so-called [***] in the prison now, this is a joke, Shanxi does not have [***] riot arms, where will there be so many [***]? ”

"We have just arrived in Shanxi, and stabilizing people's hearts is the most important thing, so you take someone from your political training department to the prison to screen out, criminal offenders are harmful to society and cannot be released. I can't let it go if it's really [***], otherwise that person will want to frame me Song Zhewu in the future, and I can't afford to sue me in Nanjing. As for the other criminals, they were all ordinary people who were forced by life, and they were all let go. ”

Song Zhewu deliberately put the word "true" very seriously, and he believed that Wang Xinggang understood what he meant. Moreover, Song Zhewu also believed that even if Wang Xinggang didn't understand what he meant, he would never let go of such an opportunity.

Wang Xinggang is an out-and-out and real [***], he is the first batch of party members developed by Gu Xiongyi in the Hebei Military and Political School run by Shang Zhen, and he came to Song Zhewu to do the military movement work in accordance with the arrangement of Gu Xiongyi, the current secretary of the Military Commission of the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee.

Regarding Song Zhewu's request for him to go to the prison to screen prisoners, especially Song Zhewu's hint about the true [***], Wang Xinggang's first thought was that Song Zhewu was suspicious of him. But seeing that Song Zhewu was very casual, he wondered if he was too careful.

As for whether these people are true [***], he can't figure it out now, his relationship is in the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee, and it has nothing to do with the Shanxi Special Committee, but he will never let go of this opportunity, even if it arouses Song Zhewu's suspicion, if he misses such an excellent opportunity, it will be very difficult to save people in the future.

When Wang Xinggang checked the files of these [***] suspects in prison, he could basically confirm that most of these people were genuine [***], especially that Wang Shengxiu, who was not only [***], but was even likely to be the person in charge of Shanxi [***].

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xinggang interrogated Wang Shengxiu alone, and after a little temptation, it was like Wang Shengxiu revealing his identity. Wang Shengxiu naturally didn't believe it, and of course he resolutely denied that he was [***], and he was sure that he was a merchant selling persimmons.

The time was urgent, and Wang Xinggang didn't explain more, telling this Wang Shengxiu that he was going to arrange a prison escape, and asked him to contact the prison Reed [***] staff to get ready. Although Wang Shengxiu didn't believe in Wang Xinggang, this opportunity was really rare, so he secretly made arrangements. Subsequently, Wang Xinggang took advantage of the opportunity of arraignment to arrange these people in a larger cell, and then, began to screen other prisoners, and released all non-criminal prisoners on the same day.

That night, due to the negligence of the sentry, the Shanxi Provincial Model Prison had its first escape since its establishment, and all [***] suspects escaped.

This incident immediately alarmed the Taiyuan Garrison Headquarters, Ye Changgui ordered the whole city to search, after a whole day of rigorous search, although the fugitives were not caught, but many members of Yan Xishan's political and health group were caught. After Wang Xinggang, Fang Zhen, and Ye Changgui reported to Song Zhewu, Wang Xinggang, in addition to being grateful, gave Song Zhewu this trick to engage in public opinion propaganda.

The defenders of the Fourth Route Army have already withdrawn, and it is inevitable that it will be occupied by the Jin Sui army that suddenly appeared, according to the judgment of Song Zhewu, Tao Rong and Mengxi, the Jin Sui army will naturally storm Dai County next.

It's just that Song Zhewu is not worried about the safety of Dai County, there are the First and Ninth Armies of the Fifth Army there, and there is also a tank squadron, and a tight fortification group has been built around Dai County these days, just for defense, there will be absolutely no problem. Especially there are two divisions that can support Xu Fang in Daixian at any time from Xinkou, Fu Zuoyi has great ability, and he can't help such a large heavy army group. It's not good, Li Wentian even has to find an opportunity to ask him Fu Zuoyi to take a bite.

Because several battlefields were fought, it was naturally impossible for Song Zhewu to go back to sleep, and he could only sit in the war room and command in person.

However, until the morning, there was no Jin Sui army that appeared near Fanzhi to attack Dai County, and there was no battle in Ying County.

To Song Zhewu's great surprise, according to the night reconnaissance, the Jin Sui army that appeared in the Dalin River built fortifications in two places overnight after dividing their troops to occupy Dashikou, the only road that could be inserted from Yingxian County to the east of Fanzhi, and built fortifications on the spot overnight, which was completely a defensive posture; The Jin Sui army, which appeared near Fanzhi, after occupying Zaolin and Ekou, also built fortifications on the spot and no longer took a step forward in the direction of Daixian.

The attack of the Jin Sui army in the south of Jin was really a bluff with thunder and rain, and it ended hastily after 0 o'clock, only the Niangziguan battlefield was fought very fiercely, and the artillery bombardment and infantry of the Jin Sui army charged one round after another overnight, and according to Li Sichi's report, the second division defending Nanyu had suffered thousands of casualties.

After dawn, the detailed reports of the reconnaissance unit sent by Li Wentian and the air force reconnaissance of Wu Jin were transmitted to the war room.

Li Wentian reported that the troops that appeared at Dalinhe and Dashikou were Fu Zuoyi's 10th Army, and it was Wang Jingguo's Third Army that occupied Fanzhi, Zaolin, and Ekou.

For Fu Zuoyi to prepare in Datong for five or six days, only to occupy the relatively important city of Fanzhi and not move, this made Tao Rong and Mengxi very confused, but Song Zhewu firmly believed that Fu Zuoyi would never be satisfied with just this little result, he must have greater strategic intentions, but it has not been noticed by them yet.

While the three of them were anxiously guessing and waiting, Wu Jin's aerial reconnaissance results were finally reported to the war room, and the results of this reconnaissance were finally revealed.

According to Wu Jin's plane reconnaissance, more than 30,000 Jin Sui troops appeared on the mountain road from Ekou to Wutai County, and the number of this Jin Sui army was the 12th Army of the Jin Sui Army, and their vanguard had occupied Doucun and Ru Village, which were only twenty or thirty miles away from Wutai County; A small number of cavalry units of the Jin Sui Army were found in Lingqiu and Shahe, and the cavalry units of the Jin Sui Army were also found in Taihuai, Gaohongkou and Longquanguan in the Wutai Mountains, and the number was Zhao Chengshou's cavalry army.

While Song Zhewu and Tao Rong were nervously analyzing Fu Zuoyi's true intentions, Wu Jinbaolai's second reconnaissance report finally made Fu Zuoyi's purpose completely clear.
