"Damn the Soviets!" After figuring out what happened, Marcel looked furious and said angrily: "Hmph, a major general dares to get involved in this kind of thing, I really don't know whether to live or die!" ”

Seeing that he looked desperate, Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but smile and asked, "Ahem, Colonel Marcel, what are you going to do?" ”

Marcel arrogantly said: "Pressure on the USSR through the Reich Government, of course!" You know, the scale of trade between Germany and the Soviet Union is far greater than you can imagine. In the face of such huge interests, I don't think Marshal Stalin would have lost sight of the severity. ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said: "But compared to the huge trade between Germany and the Soviet Union, our little arms trade is simply insignificant. On the face of it, there is no reason for your Government to come forward. Putting pressure on it with great fanfare would only arouse suspicion on the part of Stalin and the Soviet leadership. Just imagine, if Stalin had known the secrets of the oil fields, I am afraid that things would not be so simple. ”

Marcel was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Yes, General Zheng, you are right!" Stalin absolutely did not want us Germany to have our own oil fields. He hesitated for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Then what can you do?" If it can be properly solved, we can add an extra 10% of the supplies! ”

Zheng Weiguo's eyes suddenly flashed a terrifying cold, called Marcel to his side and whispered something, and then ordered: "I will give you the information of that Ivanov in the evening, you only need to do this, I believe that no one will dare to ruin our good deeds in the future." ”

"Ahh Marcel exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, and Zheng Weiguo's eyes gradually filled with fear.

Zheng Weiguo was puzzled: "What." Colonel Marcel, do you think this method is unreliable? ”

Marcel laughed dryly, spread his hands and said, "Ha Luha, of course not. It's just, well, I used to think that General Zheng was a person who advocates justice, but I didn't expect ......"

Zheng Weiguo sneered: "Hmph, I do advocate justice, but some people have the courage to stand in the way of the rejuvenation of the motherland, and I don't mind being a devil!" ”

Marcel couldn't help but shudder. Hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Wait until he's gone. Chief of Staff Zhou asked in a low voice, "General Seat, can you do this method?" There is no real evidence at all, how can the Soviets believe it. ”

Zheng Weiguo sneered: "You don't understand, the purpose of those SF committees is to remove all the thorns in the eyes and flesh." They don't want evidence. It's an excuse. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou asked again: "What if the new Russians still insist on the formula of penicillin?" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled. Say, "Don't worry." I've found a way to deal with it. Also, I don't want anyone to mention the word penicillin in the future, and this medicine must be replaced by anti-inflammatory powder. And don't mention any more Western medicine. This belongs to us Chinese, of course, Chinese medicine! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "Yes, General Seat!" He also reminded: "General, if this matter can be successfully resolved, there must be no problem in transporting materials in the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia." The key is to be careful after entering Suiyuan. From Outer Mongolia to Suiyuan, and then from Suiyuan to Shanxi, it is a very dangerous section, and I think we must prepare in advance. ”

At that time, Outer Mongolia was controlled by the Soviet Union, and as long as the Soviets did not interfere with it, the materials from Germany to Outer Mongolia were relatively safe. But from Outer Mongolia to Suiyuan, it is different. This is Fu Zuoyi's defense area, and the military commanders, the central commanders, horse bandits, and Japanese spies are also active in this area, and the slightest carelessness will reveal the news.

The road from Suiyuan to Shanxi was not very peaceful, including the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, the puppet Mongolian army of King De and Li Shouxin, the puppet Han army of Wang Ying, and the He Zhu State Department, Ma Zhanshan Department, Jin Xianzhang Department of the National Army, and Li Jingquan Department of the Eighth Route Army. The mix of forces is very complex.

Zheng Weiguo frowned, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "General Fu Zuoyi has no big problem there. During the Battle of Taiyuan, our troops went thousands of miles to help, and together with General Fu, they went through hardships in Taiyuan, and there was still some incense. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was a little happy when he heard this, nodded and smiled: "Well, if you have this relationship, you won't embarrass us if you think about it." But you still have to send someone to contact you, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Zheng Weiguo asked, "But who should I send?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said tentatively: "What do you think of Qiao Jiezhi?" ”

Qiao Jiezhi is Qiao Mingli, the current commander of the 331st Regiment of the 33rd Division. He graduated from Baoding Military Academy, and he was classmates with Fu Zuoyi, Chu Xichun, and of course Zhang Yinwu, the generals of the Jin Sui Army, and he had a friendship with Robes, and it was convenient to speak.

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, it's him!" Wait a minute, you invite him to the headquarters, there are some things I have to explain in person. He asked again: "Who do you think is appropriate to send to He Zhuguo and Ma Zhanshan of the Northeast Army?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of the yellow alarm?" ”

Huang Alarm Bell is Huang Xiansheng, and Alarm Bell is his word. After getting out of prison, in order to thank Zheng Weiguo for speaking up, he made a special trip to Jizhong to obey orders. He has a high prestige in the Northeast Army and is indeed a good candidate.

Zheng Weiguo said happily: "Well, that's good! I'll go and ask for it myself. ”

After more than ten days of busy work, the matter was finally done. Fu Zuoyi said that the troops could pass through his defense area, on the condition that if the Japanese army attacked Suiyuan, then the troops sent by Jizhong would have to cooperate with the 35th Army. As for He Zhuguo and Ma Zhanshan, they have no opinion. They had expressed their goodwill to Jizhong before, but now they are having a hard time, if it weren't for the scruples of the chairman, I am afraid that they would have led their troops to defect long ago.

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and decided to send the 34th Division of the 97th Army and the General Baggage Brigade to secretly rush to Suiyuan to receive supplies. He said that he was not in a hurry, but he was still in a hurry. Because Germany and the Soviet Union were about to turn their faces, the trade would not last long, and if they did not seize the opportunity, there would be no store in this village. This is also the reason why he is in a hurry to get rid of Ivanov, because he does not have time to entangle with him.

However, it will not be easy to get rid of Ivanov. Just when Zheng Weiguo and the Germans were preparing to get rid of this stumbling block once and for all, Ivanov was also acting in secret. Ever since he saw the miraculous effects of that mysterious anti-inflammatory drug, the greed in his heart grew like a weed. The commercial value of this drug. Even the military and even political value is too great, and he can't help but be unmoved.

What made Ivanov angry was that the Chinese dared to resist his demands, which annoyed him greatly. You must know that he was a major general of the Soviet Army at a young age, and he was the nephew of General Andrei of the Far Eastern Military District, and even in the Soviet Union, he could walk sideways, but he did not touch a nail in front of the cowardly Chinese. This gave him a sense of humiliation, and the flames of revenge burned even brighter.

"Damn Chinese, I will definitely make you pay!" Ivanov secretly swore that he would get the way to make this miracle drug, and he would also teach the arrogant Chinese general an unforgettable lesson. Blocking the transfer of German supplies was nothing more than an appetizer. There will be even bigger surprises to come.

A few days later. Political Commissar Cheng suddenly hurried over and said anxiously: "Oh no, commander." That Ivanov didn't know what path Lu Dao had taken, and he actually put pressure on Yan'an through GC International. We want us to help them steal the recipe and the full set of manufacturing methods for Yan Powder! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said anxiously: "Aren't the Germans already taking action?" Could it be that something is wrong? ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment. Calmly said, "Don't rush. The plan is not immediate, it always takes some time. With the meticulousness of the Germans, there should be no problem. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said embarrassedly: "But what should I do at this level? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou also said, "Yes, General Seat." That Ivanov also pushed the Soviet Union to put pressure on our government. Even if Yan'an can hold on. I am afraid that the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission will have no choice but to compromise. After all, the Soviet Union is the only reliable channel for the import of goods in our country at present. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you can only use that trick in advance." ”

Political Commissar Cheng and Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly asked, "What move?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I can't get on the stage, but I still need your cooperation!" ”

A few days later, the thief-minded Major General Ivanov finally stole the recipe and manufacturing method of the "mysterious anti-inflammatory drug" with the help of several Chinese comrades. As if he had found the treasure, Ivanov hurriedly handed the densely written piece of paper to Petrov, a Soviet drug expert who accompanied him. Petrov has been practicing medicine in Harbin for many years, and can not only speak Chinese, but also write Chinese characters, and what is even more rare is that he also has some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

Petrov took it, shrugged helplessly, spread his hands and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Comrade Major General, I don't know the words on it!" ”

Major General Ivanov said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that you know Chinese characters? ”

Petrov said embarrassedly: "I know the simple word, but I don't know this one!" ”

A Chinese comrade hurriedly explained: "Comrade Major General, don't blame Comrade Expert, this is a medical hall, and it is difficult for most Chinese to recognize it." ”

Ivanov wondered: "What is the medical hall?" Is it a different kind of script? ”

The Chinese comrade laughed and said, "Oh no, it's just another way of writing Chinese characters, and only skilled Chinese medicine masters can use it." ”

Ivanov had no choice but to ask the Chinese comrades to find an old Chinese medicine doctor and re-excerpt it. After copying it, everyone couldn't wait to gather around, wondering what kind of drugs were combined to produce such a miraculous effect.

I saw that it was written: crickets, scorpions, dandelions, coptis, gardenias, rhubarb, honeysuckle, banlan root, human white, autumn stone, pig zero...... and dozens of other flavored medicines, the amount and processing method are indicated.

Ivanov actually couldn't understand it, and said suspiciously: "Comrade Petrov, is this prescription really that magical?" ”

Petrov replied: "Well, it's not clear for the time being, more specialized means of testing are needed." He also asked the Chinese comrades: "The medicinal materials in the front are all common insects and plants, I know them all, what is the white thing in the person written in the back?" ”

The Chinese comrades were also at a loss, and Xuemaozi spread his hands, saying that he did not know what to do. In the end, the old Chinese medicine doctor explained everyone's confusion, and he shook his head and replied: "People are white, and they are drowning in white!" "Materia Medica" has clouds, its taste is salty, cool, non-toxic, can diarrhea liver, kidney, three coke, bladder more than the fire......"

Petrov listened in a daze and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" Oh my God, I don't understand a word about anything. ”

The Chinese comrade hurriedly covered his mouth and snickered: "Well, what the old gentleman means is that the white in the human body is the urine scale in the urinal. It is said to have a good bactericidal effect. ”

"Oh my God, how is that possible?" Petrov fluttered his arms unhappily and couldn't help but shout: "Are you mistaken! ”

The Chinese comrades hurriedly replied: "How can there be a mistake? According to our secret observations, this is how the anti-inflammatory powder in Jizhong is made! And the old gentleman also said just now that this drug is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". You should know that the biologist Charles Darwin also praised this book! ”

Darwin's great name Petrov still knew what to say, so he had to shake his head and mutter: "Okay, what do you mean by Autumn Stone and Pig Zero?" ”

The Chinese comrades also instructed: "Old man, this time you should be simpler, otherwise the expert comrades will not understand." ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled: "Qiushi is the white scum of human urine precipitation. And pig zero is pig manure. Well. Sows older than three years old are best! ”

"Oh,!" Petrov was so angry that he cursed in Russian, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea, almost not throwing it out.

Ivanov hasn't figured out what is going on yet. Angrily asked, "Ahem." Comrade Petrov. Is this recipe real? ”

Petrov rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Maybe it's true, but I'd rather die on the operating table than use this medicine." ”

Ivanov angrily said: "Damn. Even if you don't use it, don't others use it? As a doctor, you don't understand the value of this, do you? ”

Petrov had no choice but to look down with a hard face. I finally read the recipe and all kinds of bizarre manufacturing methods, but found that there is a series of messy requirements below.

For example, it is necessary to use rootless water when making medicine, otherwise the efficacy will be greatly reduced. If rhubarb is born in three years, it will not be possible to be a year earlier or a year later. Dandelions are to be harvested on the day of the autumn equinox, and the early and late days will seriously damage the efficacy of the medicine. Crickets must be one-to-one, and they must be the original match, and they can't be married for the second time. The scorpion must be female, and it must be a virgin, and if it is polluted by "yang energy", the consequences will be serious...... By the time he had read all the requirements, Petrov's face turned green.

"Oh, shit!" After listening to his explanation, Ivanov almost lost his anger, and asked angrily: "Is this the recipe you got here?" It's nothing short of witchcraft. ”

Several Chinese comrades did not look good, but they still insisted: "Chinese medicine is like this, and there is nothing we can do if Comrade Major General doesn't believe us." ”

Ivanov had to personally find a few prescriptions in the books of traditional Chinese medicine, and after a comparison, he found that they were indeed the same. Moreover, this mysterious anti-inflammatory drug has stricter requirements for raw materials, and the manufacturing methods are more refined and scientific. Of course, this explains its miraculous efficacy. Otherwise, why is its efficacy much higher than that of ordinary Chinese medicine? Ivanov hesitated, but decided to make a trial batch, but before he could gather the ingredients, a flying disaster suddenly struck.

The incident began when the Soviet Siberian SF Committee suddenly discovered a secret letter while tracking down a spy. This secret letter was written by a secret organization to the General of the Far Eastern Military District, Andrei. Sergei. Ivanovic's. He was the uncle of Major General Ivanov, his backer and source of power.

After examination, the SF committee found that the organization was secretly supported by Britain or Japan for the purpose of driving a wedge between Germany and the Soviet Union and sabotaging trade between the two countries. The nephew of General Andrei, Major General Ivanov, was also an important member of this organization. The SF committee has long been ready to attack the high-powered General Andrei, but this guy is very cautious and has not seized any opportunities. So this secret letter was simply dozing and sending pillows, and the surprised SF commissioners immediately arrested Andrei and Ivanov and others on charges of British spies, and then secretly executed.

After getting rid of these people, the delivery of German supplies was indeed much smoother, and they were soon transported from Germany to Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia respectively. There were no more difficulties on the way, because no one wanted to be accused of being a British spy. However, Zheng Weiguo still underestimated the Soviets, and his Ministry of Internal Affairs soon discovered the anomaly and reported it to Stalin. Stalin also attached great importance to this situation and personally sent people to investigate. Although it was finally closed because of the chaos of the situation, Jizhong still came into Stalin's sight. Fortunately, it was impossible for Stalin's identity to stare at Jizhong every day, and the German-Soviet trade was absolutely inadmissible, so he finally did not cause any big trouble.

However, as soon as the 34th Division and other troops set off, Feng Kun in Tianjin suddenly received information that the North China Front was secretly mobilizing troops and preparing to launch an "encirclement and suppression" against the base areas in central Hebei.

Historically, in order to destroy the base area in central Jizhong, the Japanese army launched five consecutive encirclement and suppression in just half a year, occupying all the county towns and slightly larger market cities in central Jizhong. So Zheng Weiguo was psychologically prepared for this, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, after all, the Pinghan Line has not yet been opened to traffic! In addition, the matter of trading with Germany involved too much energy in him, and he felt caught off guard for a while.

According to intelligence, the Japanese army will concentrate the strength of two divisions and two squadrons of combat vehicles to launch an attack on the area north of the Daqing River in the central Hebei region, in an attempt to annihilate the anti-Japanese armed forces north of the Daqing River in one fell swoop, destroy the anti-Japanese base areas in the area, and control the triangle areas of Beiping, Tianjin, and Baoding. At the same time, the Japanese troops in Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Cangzhou, and Dezhou would launch offensives to contain the forces in Jizhong.

In the war room of the 41 st Group Army, Zheng Weiguo, Professor Yang, Political Commissar Cheng, Chief of Staff Zhou, Deputy Chief of Staff Li, Commander Zhou Fucheng, Captain Feng Zhan, Commander Lu Zhencao of the First Army Division, Meng Qingshan, Commander of the Second Army Division, Duan Shuanghu, Commander of the Third Army Division, and Zhang Changgui, Commander of the Fourth Army Division, were all seated. Since the establishment of the Jizhong Military Region, it is the first time that high-ranking officers have come so together. For a while, the breath of war came to the face. This will be the first life-and-death battle that Jizhong will face. (To be continued......)
