Dong Ku didn't squeak, he knew very well in his heart that Lao Jiang was just seeking international assistance for himself, not that he would not resist Japan, and politics might not be what he felt, but in any case, the current situation was no longer suitable for cooperation.

If they don't move, their own troops will be thin, and Lao Zhao's will not be easy to advance on all fronts, so it is easy to fall into the army and passively fight a war of attrition. And it is absolutely impossible to stop, even if they do not return to Heilongjiang, they must not give the Japanese a chance to breathe.

Dong Ku thought hard for a long time, looked up under the gaze of several people and said: "For today's plan, we only have to eat one piece at a time, I believe that the dog egg can hold up, otherwise, the good start of the fight here will be wasted." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Number Five walked into the temporary headquarters with a telegram.

Dong Ku saw Lao Zhao's telegram, pondered, handed the telegram to Sun Tao, and after everyone read it, he said: "Lao Zhao made it clear that in addition to not attacking Soviet Russia and resisting Japan, at present, he is following our troops, where we fight, where he fights, and we are looking at the horse, so that they can get weapons much faster, and it seems that Lao Zhao has realized that there is movement on the side of Soviet Russia, or he would not say so." As for the cooperation with Lao Zhao, let's talk about how to cooperate. ”

Sun Tao and Liu Zhong know Lao Zhao better, and they know that he has absolutely no problem in resisting Japan. Zuo Boyang didn't know Lao Zhao, he said: "Captain, if it's not for your own team, there will be a disconnect in the command, Lao Zhao will not hurt us to follow the autumn wind, but I don't think they can be allowed to follow, one is to prevent today's situation from appearing, because of their relationship, it will affect the entire battle situation." One is for the sake of the safety of their own troops, as before, two divisions are placed in each other's army, such advanced weapons of troops. Anyone wanted to take a bite, but they didn't bite, but the time has not come, and once there is a change, they can't withdraw. ”.

When he finished speaking, he saw that everyone did not squeak. Then he continued: "Weapons, we can give them, but the troops will no longer assist him in his actions, and, at present, we have no time to eat the enemy in Shandong, or according to the previous captain's plan, let Lao Zhao's troops surround Shandong, and the weapons and ammunition we have captured are not for our own use." Give it all to them, let them recruit their own troops and horses, and fight against the Japanese army in Shandong, so that we will spare all our energy and directly attack Dezhou and Shangqiu, divide the troops into two routes, and if the Japanese army moves. We are surrounded by two roads, and we do not exercise. Along the way, the Japanese army in the main location was leveled, hit Shanhaiguan, captured Tianjin and Beijing, left part of the troops and the Huya team, and cleaned up the scattered Japanese troops who had no supplies, I believe it will be a month. We were able to hit Mongolia. ”

Dong Ku was deeply impressed by Zuo Boyang's caution, and the reason why he dared to put the troops down in the army of Lao Jiang before was actually that Lao Jiang Nanjing was taken and Shanghai fell, and someone was urgently needed to support him. At this juncture, there will be no abnormal movement. And now the situation seems to have turned a little around, and after getting a large number of weapons, he no longer needs his part so urgently, and he may have other thoughts and have to guard against it.

"In this way, let Yu Lei's left-behind troops and supplies along the way all follow up, recruit as many soldiers as they can, cut off the connection with Yangzhou, and we can guarantee a supply line."

"Order Yu Ke to withdraw from Taierzhuang, leave all the captured weapons and ammunition, take away two-thirds of the fuel, pull away as much as possible what can be pulled, and give the rest to Lao Zhao, leaving 10,000 iron fists, and Taierzhuang will let Lao Zhao take over."

"Let Li Rongbin be responsible, except for the retained part of the weapons and ammunition captured in Xuzhou, send the rest to Taierzhuang, hand them over to Lao Zhao, and let Lao Zhao recruit troops by himself."

With the issuance of orders one after another, this united army can be regarded as a dismantling group, but Lao Zhao still maintains a moderate contact and full support. Lao Jiang here, Dong Ku already felt that they couldn't go too far together, and the ones he calculated were too far away from his goals, and they were not the same way.

The order was issued, Yu Lei had already made preparations, recruiting troops along the way, the advantage of the advance army was not a little stronger than that of the national army, public opinion and popularity, in these days, it was also in full swing, as if it was the leading domestic anti-Japanese resistance.

The people recruited by the Qin army in Xi'an were quite enthusiastic, and at the moment when Dong Ku's order arrived, the common people in various costumes rushed to Xuzhou with the truck.

After Gu Zhutong stopped advancing, he returned to Suzhou, and he quickly got the supply troops behind the advance army, and the recruitment office was moving forward, and the time limit for recruiting troops was shortened to one day, which ended tonight.

When he heard the news, he already understood in his heart that the advance army might have other ideas because of their stoppage. But he was helpless, he had to obey orders, and if he did what he wanted, taking advantage of the high morale and strong troops, he should be based on the defeat of the Japanese army.

Think about it, he also knows that in this way, the Japanese army on the west side will withdraw from the war zone, although it is the strength of a division, but for the Japanese army, the land of projectiles, 10,000 deaths, is 10,000, and it is difficult to fill this hole.

"Hey......"

He looked at the sky where the smoke had not completely dissipated, and sighed, very helpless.

In the midst of the busyness, the troops replenished their troops, rested for the morning, and began simple training integration in the afternoon, ready for tomorrow's departure.

In the city of Xuzhou, it is still the old rule, traitors are all shot, materials are confiscated, tobacco houses, kilns, and casinos are also swept away, and all the personnel in the tobacco houses from the inside to the outside are executed.

The rest of those who committed evil deeds were also executed after they were discovered, and nothing was left behind. is so resolute, so that those wavering guys in the city are completely dead, as long as the advance army exists, traitors, there is no need to count on it, and the smoke house does not dare to worry about it, it is too ruthless.

At this time, Dong Ku and others, who had slept for a while, gathered together again to study the route and formulate a plan for traveling. was researching, but the guard came to report that Lao Zhao was visiting.

Dong Ku knew that Lao Zhao might come back, but he didn't know the real purpose of his coming.

When he saw Liu Canghao who came with Lao Zhao, he didn't understand the purpose of their trip.

Lao Zhao greeted everyone one by one and shook hands, and he was very familiar. After Lao Zhao finished meeting with everyone, Liu Canghao took a step forward, and in a standard military salute that stood upright and snapped, he reported loudly: "Report to the captain, Liu Canghao asks to return to the team!" ”

"Return ......"

Dong Ku returned a salute, I don't know why.

Liu Zhong remembered this, Liu Canghao was borrowed by Dong Ku, when Huya entered Hebei and Shandong, he also followed, and formed an underground armed force in Shandong and Hebei, collecting the weapons and ammunition and other materials he snatched, at that time, Lao Zhao said, when Dong Ku let a few of them leave, the six of them can leave Dong Ku's team, and now, Liu Canghao is still seconded by Dong Ku.

Before Liu Zhong could speak, Dong Ku also remembered this, when he didn't let them leave, wasn't he still in charge of it himself? Then he said with a smile: "Welcome Officer Liu back to the team!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Canghao shouted the order and stood aside.

Dong Ku looked at Liu Canghao, then at Lao Zhao, didn't wait for Lao Zhao to speak, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, you are now a strong soldier, are you willing to let the generals under your command float outside?" ”

"Ha Lu Ha!"

Lao Zhao Haoshuang smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as you don't pick up, let him stay with you, besides, the team he pulled up also needs to be raised, you are rich, why not let you raise me." ”

"Oh?"

Dong Ku seemed to understand something, and turned his head to look at Liu Canghao.

Liu Canghao immediately reported: "Report captain, I have heard that I am going to fight Xuzhou, I stayed in Shandong and organized more than 7,000 troops, and there are more than 4,000 in Hebei. ”

"More than seven thousand?"

Dong Ku glanced at Liu Zhong and the others, and praised Liu Canghao's organizational ability in his heart. It is not easy to pull up half a division under the nose of the Japanese army.

When he turned around, he seemed to understand the meaning of Liu Canghao's return to the team.

They are going back to Heilongjiang, where there is still the fire left by Lao Zhao, that is, Qiqihar, the original base of Lao Zhao, Liu Canghao also changed direction to take over there. And Lao Zhao is also passing a message to him, and he seems to understand his intentions.

"Good!"

Dong Ku didn't discuss with Liu Zhong and the others, and said directly: "Inform your troops, except for the change of personal belongings, ammunition, and guns left in Taierzhuang, and let the convoy pick them up later, you will lead this army, the temporary number is the independent division, and when all the troops in Hebei are absorbed, you are the commander of the independent division, and you will go north with the advance army, and after fighting the Japanese army in the northeast, you can return to the establishment." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Canghao stood upright, and was ordered to go out to inform the troops not to mention it.

Lao Zhao waited for Liu Canghao to leave, and then said: "I came today to discuss with you, I won't follow the north, I will stay here and eat the Japanese army in Shandong, I don't know what you think." ”

Dong Ku already understood what Lao Zhao meant, so he said: "I have this intention, you come and see." As he spoke, he walked to the map hanging on the wall and said, "Your troops will unfold, eat Linyi, and then follow Weishan Lake, cross the Yellow River to the north, occupy Dezhou and Yucheng, hold the Yellow River, and then attack Jinan, or it is not easy to attack the mountainous troops from the south, and your back is my supply line, which is located in Cangzhou, next to Dezhou, so you can rest assured." ”

"Great, that's exactly what I meant!"

Lao Zhao looked at the map and said: "In this way, my army also has enough territory to raise food and ensure the supply of the army, and it will not be too narrow and shrinking." ”

Zuo Boyang and the others glanced at each other, knowing that this was Lao Zhao who understood the situation in front of him, and that the advance army of Zhilu Dao was going to get rid of Lao Jiang himself, and he was worried that he would also be thrown away, so he took on the task of besieging Shandong and did not follow the north.
