While he was talking, Ye Ruxue, the director of intelligence, suddenly walked over.

"Commander, I'm afraid there won't be any more Qingyang Independent Regiment in the future." Ye Ruxue handed the telegram paper in her hand to Xu Shijiu, and said, "This is a secret telegram just sent from Chongqing, Yan'an has decided to rebuild the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, with Chen Yi as the acting commander of the New Fourth Army, and Liu Shaoqi as the acting political commissar of the New Fourth Army, the Qingyang Independent Regiment will be reorganized into the southern Anhui detachment, and Ah Wen will serve as the acting detachment leader and political commissar of the southern Anhui detachment. ”

Longkou has a party branch of the Communist Party of China, and there is also a radio station, and if the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army has really been rebuilt and an appointment order is issued, it can indeed be transmitted to Longkou County as soon as possible.

Li Zihan was furious when he heard this, and said: "Hasn't the number of the New Fourth Army been revoked? Who gave the power to rebuild? It's just a mess."

Gao Shenxing ridiculed each other and said: "Our party has always pursued the idea of an independent war of resistance, what is in your way if you withdraw yours and we rebuild ours? Anyway, I don't take a penny of your national government's funds. ”

"Can you mess around without taking funds?" Li Zihan said, "If Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Long Yun all follow the example of the CCP and expand the army without authorization, then won't it be messed up?" Do you still have a national government in your eyes? ”

"Zihan, don't deceive yourself." Gao Shen said, "In terms of great names, of course, we will recognize the legitimacy of the Nationalist Government, but only in name, and it is absolutely impossible for our Communist Party armed forces to truly accept the leadership of the Nationalist Government." ”

"Lao Gao, you're really embarrassed to say it." Li Zihan said, "When the national crisis is at hand, you ignore the overall situation, only care about the interests of the party, and ignore the future of the entire country and the nation, is this also a commendable thing?" Is your Communist Party at this level? ”

"Zihan, don't put a hat on the head of our Communist Party, it is precisely you Chairman Chiang and the Kuomintang who really ignore the overall situation and only care about the interests of the party." Shu Tongwen also said, "We must really act in accordance with the orders of Chairman Chiang and the Kuomintang, but I am afraid that we will have let little Japan gnaw all the scum a long time ago, how can there be the current situation?" ”

"Awen, you're clearly quibbling." Li Zihan said. "It's not a quibble, it's the truth." Be cautious.

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Xu Shijiu was also a head bigger than two, and said: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, what are you arguing about, they are all their own brothers, just because of different political opinions, quarrel all day long, is it interesting?" Tired or not? ”

"Lao Xu, don't be there and mud, this is a matter of principle." Be cautious about the fire road.

Li Zihan also said: "Captain, you don't like politics, so you don't have the right to speak. ”

"Hey, you're coming at me?" Xu Shijiu shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Shu Tongwen again, "Ah Wen, then let's say goodbye, and when there is any military action, I will send someone to Yan Yi to inform you, take care all the way." ”

"Take care all the way, captain." Shu Tongwen stood upright.

Xu Shijiu returned the military salute, turned over and walked away.

In just a moment, Xu Shijiu disappeared on the side of the mountain beam with his people, Shu Tongwen looked back again, Li Zihan and Gao Shenxing were still arguing there, and they were already arguing so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick, just like two fighting cocks, and no one would let anyone.

Shu Tongwen Wan'er smiled and also went on the horse.

(Dividing Line)

As soon as Xu Shijiu returned to Longkou, Hu Renjie and Liu Chang came to the door.

Hu Renjie and Liu Chang both came to Xu Shijiu to complain, since the last time the two of them prepared the tasks handed over by Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu seemed to have lied to them, and since then, they have been given two tasks in succession, and the amount of preparation is getting bigger and bigger.

Two days ago, Xu Shijiu gave the two county elders the task of preparing military supplies, and the amount of military rations prepared this time was no longer hundreds of thousands of catties, but a full two million catties.

So as soon as Xu Nineteen came back, Hu Renjie and Liu Chang came to the door together.

"Commander, two million catties of grain, this amount is too big, right?" Hu Renjie's horse face has been squeezed into a bitter melon, although with the influence of his uncle Qian Laofart, he has won the full support of the Longkou Chamber of Commerce, but he can't stand Xu Shijiu's exploitation.

"Yes, Commander, didn't you just prepare 500,000 catties half a month ago? Why is it that less than half a month has passed, and another two million catties of grain are needed? The 19th detachment of our Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has a total of only 5,000 officers and soldiers, and 2 million catties of food is enough to eat for a year. Liu Chang rarely agreed with Hu Renjie's opinion.

"Five thousand officers and soldiers?" Xu Shijiu smiled bitterly, "That is the old yellow calendar a few months ago, and now our Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has two detachments, more than 10,000 horses, and it will be expanded in the future, so we have to prepare food according to 20,000 people." ”

"Two by two, twenty thousand?" Hu Renjie stammered, "Where did the 20,000 people come from?" ”

Liu Chang was also stunned and asked: "Isn't there only one nineteen detachments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, why did two more detachments pop up?" ”

According to the system, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is a military-level unit, and the detachment is a division-level, so it is not strange that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has two detachments under its jurisdiction, but what makes people strange is that why a second detachment came out without making a sound?

Xu Shijiu said: "That's the case, the Qingyang Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army has been temporarily included in the battle sequence of our Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and the Military Department of the New Fourth Army has just ordered the expansion of the Qingyang Independent Regiment into the Southern Anhui Detachment, will our Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army have two detachments?" ”

Liu Chang and Hu Renjie glanced at each other, and they were secretly shocked, this is heavy news

Hu Renjie thought that Xu 19 still went with the Communist Party after all, but Liu Chang thought that the 19th detachment would join forces with the southern Anhui detachment of the New Fourth Army, and the entire small Japan in southern Anhui would suffer hardship.

Xu Shijiu said: "Now, you understand that I have to ask you to prepare two million catties of grain, right?" To be honest, I still think that two million catties are not enough, according to 20,000 people, two million catties will support three months, and now it is only the first month, and it will not be able to last until the summer grain is harvested, but the remaining gap is not big, I will find a way to deal with it. ”

Hu Renjie said: "Commander, two million catties of grain will definitely not be raised, unless you go to grab it." ”

Xu Shijiu looked at Liu Chang with his eyes again, Liu Chang also nodded like a chicken, and said: "I really can't raise so much food, I only raised it by forced apportionment last time, and if we want to forcibly apportionment this time, the people of Longkou should scold our communists." ”

Xu Shijiu frowned and asked, "It's really impossible to prepare so much?" ”

Hu Renjie and Liu Chang replied in unison: "I really can't prepare." ”

"Okay." Xu Shijiu retreated, "Then how much can you prepare at most?" ”

"At most, 100,000 catties" Hu Renjie said, "Commander, it really can't be more." ”

Liu Chang didn't have the heart to compare with Hu Renjie this time, and also said: "At most, it's 100,000 catties." ”

"What, 100,000 catties?" Xu Shijiu was annoyed, and said in a fire, "What about sending Hanako?" ”

"Then, 200,000 catties" Hu Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't add more." ”

Liu Chang also said: "Yes, at most, it's 200,000 catties, and if you have more, you can only grab it." ”

Seeing that the two of them really couldn't squeeze more oil and water, Xu Shijiu had to accept it, and said: "200,000 catties is 200,000 catties, but it's okay, it's 200,000 catties per person, not 200,000 catties, and also, raise it for me within ten days." ”

Hu Renjie and Liu Chang lowered their heads and went with a sigh.

Seeing Hu Renjie and Liu Chang leave, Xu Shijiu asked Liu Dagu to invite Ye Ruxue, the director of intelligence, over.

Seeing Ye Ruxue, Xu Shijiu asked directly: "Director Ye, how did I do what I asked you to do last time?" ”

"Commander, do you mean the money carrier?" Ye Ruxue reacted immediately.

"Yes, it's about the money carrier, do you have eyebrows?" Xu Nineteen said.

Seeing that the stall of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui is getting bigger and bigger, the strength of the 19th detachment alone has exceeded 10,000 people, and now Shu Tongwen's southern Anhui detachment has been added.

In order to entrap the Sichuan army and lure the first army to mutiny, Xu 19 had already taken out the family foundation in Longkou County, and now the army has stored food for less than ten days, which is also the reason why Xu 19 limited Hu Renjie to raise all the food within ten days, because Hu Renjie and they did not raise food within ten days, and the officers and soldiers of the 19th detachment should be hungry.

Longkou County's family foundation has been hollowed out, and the brothers can't be starved, and Xu Shijiu can't learn from Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang to grab food like them, so he can only think about it from Japan and the puppet government of Wang.

Ye Ruxue said that there are traitors among the Chinese, and there are also scum among the Japanese, as long as they can afford the price, even arms are not difficult to buy, and buying grain is even a trivial matter, but if you want to buy grain, you must first have money.
