And if this huge amount of money is handed over to the military commanders, God knows what they will take it to?

In the final analysis, the Silk Road is in the hands of the military commander, and the military commander will transfer this batch of weapons and ammunition to the Third War Zone halfway.

However, I don't know what Ye Ruxue said to Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu Zuihou actually agreed.

At that moment, Gao Shenxing looked at Ye Ruxue and said: "Director Ye, I don't know what you specifically said to Lao Xu, but since Lao Xu chose to trust you, then there must be a reason for him, I don't want to and will not deny Lao Xu's choice, but I hope you can treat this huge amount of money well, and I hope you can be worthy of Lao Xu's trust in you." ”

"Don't worry, Senior Sir, I know it in my heart." Ye Ruxue smiled slightly, not showing the slightest displeasure

Regarding the worries of Gao Shenxing and most of the officers and soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, Ye Ruxue can actually understand that before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the reputation of the military commander, that is, the Blue Coat Society, had always been very bad, and he had also done some dirty things that angered people and people, so it was indeed very difficult for these officers and soldiers who licked blood at the tip of the knife to trust the military commander

Xu Shijiu actually didn't trust the military commander, and he was also worried that the huge amount of money that he had finally obtained would be handed over to the military commander, and it would be wasted.

However, Ye Ruxue persuaded Xu Shijiu, Ye Ruxue and Xu Shijiu carefully analyzed, with Dai Li's temperament, Ye Ruxue really wanted to use this huge amount of money to buy back weapons and equipment from Shanghai, it is impossible for the military commander not to want to get a piece of the pie, or even to swallow it alone, whether the military commander wants to get a piece of the pie or Yu Kuan to swallow it alone, he must first transport this batch of weapons and equipment back to the national control area

In order to transport this batch of weapons and equipment from Shanghai to the National Unification Region, there is only one line of communication, and that is the Silk Road

In other words, as long as the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui chokes Longkou, the military commander will not want to smoothly transport this batch of weapons and equipment back to the national control area

Therefore, no matter what idea Dai Li and the military commander have, at least until Ye Ruxue buys back the weapons and equipment from Shanghai, the cooperation between the military commander and the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is absolutely reliable.

It's just that Gao Shenxing and the officers and soldiers of the 5th Brigade didn't know about it, after all, the existence of the Silk Road was highly secret, so they would inevitably be worried, not only worried that the military commander would be greedy for this huge amount of money, but also worried that Ye Ruxue would buy weapons and equipment and not transport them back to Longkou and hand them over to the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

"Okay, as long as you have a number in your heart, I won't have many extra words, I am here to wish Director Ye a smooth journey." Gao Shenxing nodded, picked up the box that had been separated, and then instructed Li Mu, "Xiao Mu, you take the brothers to escort Director Ye and the money to the ground, and then go back to Longkou directly." ”

Li Mu nodded, and asked Gao Shenxing again: "What about you, Lao Gao?" ”

Gao Shenxing said: "I won't go with you, Lao Xu is still waiting for money to buy food, I have to send the 200,000 back." ”

Li Mu said again: "Boss Gao, will it be too dangerous for you to be alone?" I'll let the fourth brother take the second team back to Longkou with you, right? ”

"I don't need to." Gao Shenxing waved his hand and said, "The more people there are, the bigger the target, and it is easier for me to cross the blockade line alone." ”

Li Mu felt that this was also the case, and immediately said: "That's okay, Lao Gao, be careful." ”

Haneda led the gendarmerie and plainclothes team to search almost all the barren mountains and wilderness around Tangjia Village and Tangjia Village, but found nothing, Zuihou, and could only return to Chizhou City empty-handed.

As soon as Haneda returned to the gendarmerie, Jun Watanabe came to visit with an uninvited guest.

"Haneda-san, what is the result of the investigation, did you find the huge amount of money that was robbed?" Jun Watanabe asked when he met.

Haneda shook his head with an embarrassed expression and said, "Watanabe-san, it's a pity that I couldn't recover the huge amount of money that was robbed. ”

To Haneda's surprise, Jun Watanabe was not angry, but turned his gaze to the uninvited guest.

The uninvited guest said with a smile: "The military command has a very strict organizational structure and a perfect liaison and cover mechanism, so it is not surprising that the gendarmerie has not been able to track down the huge amount of money that has been robbed." ”

Haneda frowned slightly and asked, "Watanabe-san, this is ......"

Watanabe Jun smiled and introduced: "Haneda-san, let me introduce you, this is the senior advisor of Jisaffel No. 76. ”

Without waiting for Watanabe Jun to introduce his name and position, the uninvited guest took off his wide-brimmed top hat and said with a smile: "You need to keep it secret, so you don't need to say your name, Haneda-san called me 'old cat, it's okay.'" ”

"Old cat?" Haneda's thick eyebrows furrowed and he asked, "Watanabe-san, what does this mean?" ”

Watanabe Jun took out a telegram from his briefcase and said: "Haneda-san, this is an official document from the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, from now on, the matter of tracing the robbed funds will be entrusted to the headquarters of Agent Jisfeier No. 76, and your gendarmerie and Yansan's plainclothes team must cooperate unconditionally with the investigation." ”

Haneda took the telegram and made paper, and saw that the payment was indeed the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army.

After the end of the Southern Anhui Incident, Chairman Chiang, under the pressure of international and domestic public opinion, openly stated that he would no longer launch military operations against the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and other domestic resistance forces, and the second anti-communist wave officially ended.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army ushered in a very rare period of adjustment, and this period of adjustment was undoubtedly extremely important for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

Since the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the development of the Communist-led anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army can be roughly divided into two distinct stages.

The first stage is the first year after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this year, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is only more than 30,000 people, and the New Fourth Army is less than 10,000 people, but these 40,000 people are all veterans who fought in the ten-year civil war, which can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, so the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

The second stage was the next three years, during which the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army took the initiative to go deep into the occupied areas to carry out the struggle behind enemy lines because they pursued the grand strategy of independent resistance against Japanese aggression, and their strength began to swell sharply; even after Okamura Ninji took office as commander of the North China Front Army, he inflicted great losses on the Eighth Route Army in North China, the Eighth Route Army still had 200,000 men, and the New Fourth Army had grown to 100,000 people

However, the price of the sharp increase in the size of the force is the sharp decline in the proportion of veterans and the sharp decline in combat effectiveness, and this is also an important reason why the Eighth Route Army suffered great losses after Okamura Ninji took office as commander of the North China Front Army last year, because the newly expanded Eighth Route Army is far from being able to compare with the veterans in terms of tactical quality, training level, and fighting will.

Therefore, the adjustment period after the Southern Anhui Incident is extremely important to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, because with the help of this rare adjustment period, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army can train their troops with the help of the Huidaomen armed forces in the occupied areas

The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui also ushered in a period of relative stability, the commander of the small Japanese Army was dismissed because of the defeat in the Battle of Jinjiang, and the newly appointed commander of the Army Anan was smarter than Kazuichiro Sonobe, and he decisively gave up the attack on Kamigao's flank and refocused the attack on Changsha

There is no doubt that Anan Weiji's choice is correct, because the Shanggao flank has long been impregnable by Xue Yue, but Changsha, which is the defensive support, and the Changde area on the left flank are relatively empty.

In fact, in the Second Battle of Changsha, Anan Weiji did realize his tactical intentions, including the 74th Army, the four most elite main forces of the Xue Yue Ninth Theater were almost completely annihilated by the Japanese in the Second Battle of Changsha, and the combat potential of the entire Ninth Theater was sharply reduced to less than half of the original, at this time, if it were not for the outbreak of the Pacific War, Little Japan would shift the focus of operations from Chinese mainland to Southeast Asia, the Third Battle of Changsha would be difficult to win, and the Great Southwest would probably fall.

To get back to the point, because Anan Weiji redirected the direction of the main attack to Changsha and Changde, as the southern part of Anhui, which was not even a flank, was naturally ignored by the Japanese army, so until the outbreak of the Pacific War at the end of the year, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was not attacked by small Japan, which gave the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army a valuable training time.
