Chapter Forty-Eight: Someone from the Second War Zone

The fact that the Anti-Japanese Security Corps was absorbed by the Second World War Zone and Zheng Weiguo led the main force to reinforce Xinkou came too suddenly, and if you want to figure out how this trick changed, you have to start from a day ago.

As a rapid sound of horses' hooves stepped on the ground in Ping'an County, the anti-Japanese security regiment ushered in another group of guests. This was a commissioner surnamed Cheng and his entourage sent by the Governor's Department of the Second War Zone.

As early as when Hu San'er's bandit department was exterminated, Zheng Weiguo sent someone to get in touch with the headquarters of the Second War Zone. However, the trip did not go well. Because this Chief Yan has two problems, one is to pick the door, the other is to only use Shanxi people, and later only use Shanxi Wutai people. Zheng Weiguo and his group are mostly from the Northeast, and now they are in Hebei, and they can't fight with Shanxi. How could Chief Yan's temperament deal with them?

In addition, Chief Yan is really having a hard time now, and the devil is storming Xinkou, the gateway of Taiyuan. Once this Xinkou is lost, Taiyuan will not be able to keep it. Chief Yan didn't care about preserving his strength, and even used the strength to eat. At present, the battle situation in Xinkou is unfavorable, and Chief Yan is too busy to take care of himself, how can he still be in the mood to take care of other people's families?

Seeing that this matter was about to be yellow, the news of the victory of Erlongshan happened to reach the World War II zone. If the intelligence officer got the treasure, he immediately reported it to Chief Yan. Although Chief Yan looks stupid, he is secretly very shrewd. He quickly realized the value of the Ping'an County Security Corps, and quickly dispatched a commissioner to Ping'an County to negotiate the incorporation. First, I want to make up for the losses in the bloody battle of Xinkou, and secondly, I want to touch the joy of the victory of Erlongshan. It is said that the Jin Sui army has really not fought any beautiful battles since the all-out war of resistance, and urgently needs a victory to boost morale.

In addition to the incorporation, Chief Yan also hoped that Zheng Weiguo would lead this army of tigers and wolves to reinforce Xinkou. In his mind, if he can completely annihilate a brigade of the Japanese army, his strength will definitely not be weak. At least four or five thousand people, right? Even if there is really only one regiment, it is worth winning over, Xinkou is now in danger, one more army has an extra chance of winning, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, isn't it?

Commissioner Cheng sent this time is Chief Yan's confidant. After receiving the order, he set off overnight, first took a car south, the car could not walk, and then changed horses and galloped along the official road between Shanxi and Hebei, and finally arrived in Ping'an County. Why is he so desperate, in his words: "I am also from Shanxi, as long as I can save Taiyuan, I am willing to die of exhaustion!" ”

Zheng Weiguo didn't know the inside story, and thought that Commissioner Cheng was here to negotiate an arms deal with him! After rejoicing, he hurriedly set up a good banquet in Taibai Building. In order to deal with this commissioner with a background, he also prepared ten small yellow croakers, which according to Yu Laogen are more effective than anything else.

Unexpectedly, Commissioner Cheng had no intention of going to the banquet at all, he said: "Commander Zheng, it's not Cheng's hypocrisy, it's really a military emergency." Cheng dared to ask Head Zheng to postpone the banquet and talk about business first. Otherwise, Cheng really had no intention of swallowing. ”

Zheng Weiguo and Yu Laogen looked at each other, I don't know why this commissioner is so anxious. Yu Lao Genqi said: "Commissioner Cheng doesn't know what's important here? ”

Commissioner Cheng said: "It's not a secret, Cheng came to ask for help on the order of President Yan this time!" Now the Japanese army is storming Xinkou, if Xinkou is lost, Taiyuan will not be protected. If Taiyuan falls, the three Jin fathers will fall into the hands of the enemy! Thinking that his father and fellow villagers were about to become slaves of the country, Commissioner Cheng choked up a few times and cried loudly.

Seeing that this commissioner actually put on a posture of crying Qin Ting, Zheng Weiguo and Yu Laogen were dumbfounded. After doing it for a long time, I dared to move the rescuers, not to talk about business!

Zheng Weiguo saw him crying sadly, and couldn't help but think of the Northeast fathers and elders who were still ravaged by devils, and he was also sad for a while. However, sadness is sadness, Zheng Weiguo has not yet reached the point of losing his mind. History told him that the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan were bound to fail. Even if there is one more regiment, what good can it do?

Commissioner Cheng saw that Zheng Weiguo was unmoved, and begged: "Now the father of the Sanjin Dynasty is looking forward to it, and implore Commander Zheng to wave his army north to relieve the people from hanging. Chairman Yan said that as long as your ministry is willing to send troops to the north, the World War II Zone can allocate 50,000 oceans as a driving fee! If you can participate in the Battle of Xinkou, the logistics supply will be fully distributed by the Commander's Department of the Second World War Zone. In addition, Chairman Yan will personally take out 50,000 oceans to reward the army. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Now Shanxi has the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and many other local troops. Among them, there are 100,000 people in your army alone, if you still can't defeat the Japanese army, what's the use of adding Zheng's regiment? ”

Commissioner Cheng wiped his tears and said: "Now that the enemy and us are holding each other, one more person on our side will have a better chance of winning." Besides, your unit has just achieved a great victory in Erlongshan, which is terrifying to the enemy, and if it can appear in Xinkou, it will definitely greatly increase the morale of our army. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and asked, "If our army goes north, what name can Chief Yan give?" ”

Commissioner Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your army can be organized into the Ninth Independent Brigade of the Jin Sui Army. He was afraid that Zheng Weiguo would not be satisfied, and explained: "Now the official number needs to be granted by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Chief Yan can only give this number for the time being." However, Chief Yan will apply to the Ministry of Military Affairs to obtain an official number for your ministry as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he handed Zheng Weiguo two pieces of paper, one of which was a commendation order, which read as follows: Zheng Weiguo, head of the security regiment of Zi'an County, has scrupulously abided by his responsibilities since taking office, pacified bandits and reassured the people, and has made great contributions to the country. At that time, the Japanese invaded the territory, and the department was not afraid of the strong enemy, fought bloodily, and completely annihilated the enemy's Yamamoto brigade, which shocked the enemy's courage, and was a model for the national soldiers, and is hereby commended.

The other chapter is the power of attorney. It reads: Zheng Weiguo, head of the security regiment of Ping'an County, is hereby appointed as the commander of the Ninth Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army, with the rank of major general and the headquarters of the Second World War Zone.

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Commissioner Cheng, you are tired all the way, please go to the guest house to rest first." The stakes are so high that I have to convene the officers for discussion. ”

Commissioner Cheng had no choice but to say: "Then please ask Brigade Commander Zheng to make a decision as soon as possible, and the people of Sanjin are anxious for the army to come to the rescue." ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Please rest assured, I will give a reply as soon as possible!" ”

Two days ago, we just discussed whether to join the Eighth Route Army, and now we have a meeting to discuss whether to join the Jin Sui Army. The world is impermanent.

Unlike joining the Eighth Route Army, accepting the title of the Jin Sui Army is just to take what they need, and the temporary meaning is quite heavy. Whether or not to send troops is a purely military issue and will not involve the political level. In Zheng Weiguo's view, there was no need to hold an "enlarged meeting" for this kind of thing, so he only called a few military commanders, including Yu Laogen, deputy regiment commander in charge of logistics, Li Zhen'an, deputy regiment commander in charge of militia and reserve construction, Zhang Haiyan, chief of staff, and company commanders of the first, second, and third companies of the main force.

Zheng Weiguo told everyone about Commissioner Cheng's intention and the current situation of the Battle of Xinkou, and then said: "This is the situation, you all talk about your own opinions." ”

As soon as Duan Shuanghu heard that he was going to send troops to Taiyuan, his two eyes began to shine, and he looked very excited. In his opinion, fighting devils are all heroes. But there are unknown heroes, and there are also well-known in the world. Ping'an County is just a corner of the land, even if you fight hard, how many people in the world know the Tao?

Taiyuan is different, not only the capital of Shanxi Province, but also the support point of the Anti-Japanese War in North China, and now it is attracting national attention. If you can show your skills here and defeat the Japanese invaders, won't you immediately become a big hero known to the world? According to his idea, in life, as long as there is such a thing, he is willing to die!

However, before he could speak, he was preempted by Li Dazhuang. Why did Li Dazhuang do it so quickly? Because he only heard the word "send troops", he was itching, and he didn't listen to the rest of the words at all, and he didn't have as many miscellaneous thoughts as Duan Shuanghu. In his opinion, if there is a battle, it will be fine! As for where to hit and how to fight, it was not in the scope of his consideration.

As soon as Zheng Weiguo's words fell, Li Dazhuang shouted: "Big brother, what else are you talking about fighting devils?" The last general is not talented, willing to be a pioneer! ”

The last two sentences were learned by Da Zhuang from the script, and he has been listening to the Three Kingdoms Zhiping dialect recently. He didn't have this hobby before, but after Zheng Weiguo crossed over, he always criticized him for not liking to study and not making progress, so he decided to fight and "progress" to show everyone.

The question is, how can we make progress? Da Zhuang slapped his head, there is! Didn't the generals of the past be able to fight wars with the three countries in their hands? This is a ready-made teaching material! However, he doesn't know many words now, and he can't see it by himself, so he has to ask a storyteller to talk about two paragraphs every day. At first, Da Zhuang really didn't like to listen to this, annoying! But after a long time, I was still addicted. Not only did Da Zhuang love to listen, but the soldiers of the second company also became book lovers.

Some anxious warriors didn't enjoy listening to two paragraphs, and they had to tell the storyteller to tell another paragraph. Some fighters are so active that they privately find the storyteller and ask for some plot to be revealed in advance.

When the soldiers of the other companies learned that the second company had a commentary, they demanded the same treatment. But in a big fart place in Ping'an County, how can there be so many storytellers? As a result, this storyteller, who usually talks about business, suddenly became a hot commodity. Among them, the storyteller who was the first to go to the second company, Tiezui Li, was the most famous, and was affectionately called Li Daxian by the soldiers.

The other companies were so angry that they sent people to the second company to dig up the corners, saying that they would pay a prepayment for the mouth, how much they would guarantee every month, and if they came every day, they would have extra bonuses, and so on.

Zheng Weiguo doesn't care about these things on weekdays, but when the matter is big, it still reaches his ears. He immediately realized that the spiritual life of the soldiers was too poor and that in the long run it would be detrimental to the growth of an army. To this end, he set up a special art troupe, and invited storytellers, drum singers, and cross talkers, which greatly satisfied the psychological needs of the soldiers.

The affairs of this art troupe did not end here, and the wonderful story will continue. However, at the moment, the military situation in Xinkou is urgent, so I will not mention this topic for the time being.

The second company is a pioneer, where is the first company? Duan Shuanghu was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Tuanzao, this pioneer is more suitable for our first company, and the second company can follow up later." ”

Duan Shuanghu said this, of course Li Dazhuang was not convinced. The two became more and more angry, so anxious that their faces were red and their ears were red, and the spittle stars flew everywhere. Liu Zida, the commander of the third company, knew that he couldn't compete with them, so he didn't speak. However, looking at what he meant, he didn't plan to give up, and seemed to have the intention of reaping the benefits

This meeting was supposed to discuss whether or not to send troops, but when they got here, they jumped directly to the question of who would be the vanguard. Zheng Weiguo asked: "Who is the vanguard and don't mention it for the time being, do you all agree to send troops to Xin Kou?" ”
