While the four of them were sighing, Liu Dagu stepped forward with an officer of the national army and reported: "Commander, this guy claims to be Adjutant Zhang Wenqing, and he said that he has something important to see you." ”

"Adjutant Zhang Wenqing?" Xu Shijiu's eyes instantly became sharp, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"We want to meet you." Adjutant Zhang Wenqing is also a person, looking directly at Xu Shijiu and answering, "You decide the location." ”

"Okay, it's in the village ahead." Xu Shijiu stretched out his hand and pointed to the small village in front of him, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was once stationed in this village, but now this small village is empty, because after the troops of the pre-3 Pei were stationed in Yunling, they killed all the dozens of old party families in the village for the crime of colluding with the Communist Party and nesting the Communist Party, and even the old and young women and children were not spared.

Therefore, politics is extremely dirty and the most cruel.

Up to now, the bodies of sixty or seventy people in the village are still hanging from the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Originally, Xu Shijiu was ready to let people collect the corpses of these villagers, but now he has changed his mind, he wants Zhang Wenqing, a senior general of the Kuomintang army, to see what evil they have done

"Commander Xu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Zhang Wenqing's adjutant suddenly changed his face.

Zhang Wenqing's adjutant was not because of the dozens of corpses hanging from the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, as a veteran who had participated in the fifth encirclement and suppression, Adjutant Zhang had seen more cruel and bloody scenes than this, after the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army withdrew from Ruijin, the national army and the return regiment almost killed the entire common people in the Soviet area, and it was not just a few dozen, but hundreds of thousands

Again, politics has never been a warm vein, it has always been cold and cruel.

The reason why Adjutant Zhang muttered in his heart was because this place now belonged to the territory controlled by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, if Zhang Wenqing came alone, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and when Xu Shijiu wanted to kill him or detain him, wouldn't it be all up to him?

"There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, Zhang Wenqing will come if he likes to come, if he doesn't like to come, then see you on the battlefield" Xu Shijiu said coldly.

"Commander Xu, that humble post will retire first." For such a big matter, Zhang Wenqing had to decide by himself, and the adjutant could only go back first.

Xu 19 said: "I will wait until eight o'clock, if I haven't seen others by eight o'clock in the evening, and the first army refuses to withdraw from Yunling, then don't blame us for not being merciful in the 19th detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui."

Adjutant Zhang said, "Commander Xu, are you threatening us?" ”

"You can understand it that way." Xu 19 responded coldly, to be honest, Xu 19 is really ready for an all-out war with the national army, for Chairman Jiang's discipline, Xu 19 has never overestimated, in Fujian back then, Xu 19 had learned Chairman Jiang's bottom line, and now, he will never repeat the mistakes of the 19th Route Army.

(Dividing Line)

Adjutant Zhang went back and brought Xu Shijiu's original words to Zhang Wenqing, and Zhang Wenqing was immediately furious.

"What, is this a spy for me? If there is no one to see at eight o'clock, and the first army refuses to retreat, then don't blame them for not being merciful with the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui? Hmph, hum" Zhang Wenqing sneered repeatedly, and then continued, "Xu Shijiu really thinks that his Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general?" He really thought that our first army was afraid of his anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui? ”

Zhang Wenqing really made Xu Shijiu angry, although the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is also an army in name, but everyone knows that it is just a miscellaneous army, and the actual structure of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is only one detachment, that is, a division, to put it bluntly, Xu Shijiu is a division commander at best, a small division commander, and he even dares to argue with him

"Throne." Zhan Zhongyan reminded in a low voice, "It's better not to turn your face with Xu Shijiu, or not to turn your face."

Zhan Zhongyan fought with the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he smelled the smell of gunpowder from Xu Shijiu's Zuihou spy, Zhang Wenqing really dared to refuse, Xu Shijiu was afraid that he would really dare to order the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to attack the first army, and for the conflict between the First Army and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, to be honest, Zhan Zhongyan is really not optimistic, although the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has few soldiers, but the equipment is too cruel.

Tang Yunshan also said: "Junzuo, our goal is to annihilate the main force of the New Fourth Army, as long as Xu Shijiu is willing to cooperate with us, let's not provoke the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, this tiger in southern Anhui is not easy to provoke, besides, Junzuo, you want to deal with Xu Shijiu, then there is no need to do it now, wait until the New Fourth Army is eliminated first, and then attack the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, wouldn't it be easier?" ”

"Oh, what is the tiger of southern Anhui, Lao Tzu or Wu Song" Zhang Wenqing was furious.

However, Zhang Wenqing also knows that now is probably not the time to mobilize the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui

In the final analysis, fighting a war is not just a matter of a large number of people, don't look at the 30,000 people in the first army, but in terms of equipment level alone, I am afraid that even half of the firepower of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui does not have half of the firepower, and the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui not only has a cavalry battalion, but also an artillery battalion, and its soldiers are basically fought out from the battlefield, and it is not fake that the main force of the 14th brigade will be completely annihilated in Hulu Valley.

On the other hand, the first army, although there are more than 30,000 people, but basically they are all temporary arrest of strong men, these strong men lack training, but also have no fighting spirit at all, chasing the New Fourth Army ass to fight a good fight, if you expect them to fight a tough battle with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, it is purely that they are not happy to find it, of course, then again, Zhang Wenqing is not necessarily afraid of Xu Shijiu.

First, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army belongs to the battle sequence of the National Army no matter what, at least nominally, it is still the troops of the Third War Zone, Xu Shijiu has great courage, and he may not dare to take the initiative to provoke the First Army, and second, no matter how poor the combat effectiveness of the First Army is, there are still more than 30,000 officers and soldiers, even if one person pees, it is enough to drown the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Tang Yunshan said cautiously: "Military seat, according to the humble opinion, I still have to see it, but this place."

"The location is according to what Xu Shijiu said, see you in that village, hmph, don't you just meet? Lao Tzu is a dignified party-state general, are you still afraid of him as a lieutenant general? Zhang Wenqing did not fall down the donkey, and immediately instructed the adjutant, "Go, tell Xu Nineteen, at eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Tzu will go to the appointment on time"

After speaking, Zhang Wenqing looked back at Zhan Zhongyan and Tang Yunshan, and then said, "You two go with me." ”

"Huh?" Zhan Zhongyan and Tang Yunshan were suddenly stupid, Zhang Wenqing was going to pull a cushion when he was dying

"Ah what, borrowing Xu Nineteen Heavenly Courage, he doesn't dare to do anything with us." Zhang Wenqing said in a sullen voice

Zhang Wenqing really didn't think that Xu Shijiu dared to do anything to them, and borrowed their courage

(Dividing Line)

At eight o'clock in the evening, Houzhu Village, Yunling.

When Zhang Wenqing, Tang Yunshan, and Zhan Zhongyan arrived with their respective guards, the entire village was already surrounded by officers and soldiers who were responsible for guarding the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

This is a group of veterans who have been through a hundred battles, and this is a force that can fight tough battles

Suddenly, Zhang Wenqing came to such a conclusion in his heart, Zhan Zhongyan and Tang Yunshan were even more awe-inspiring, it seemed that they were defeated by Xu Shijiu and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and they were not wronged

In the bright firelight, an officer of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui stepped forward and greeted him with solemn hands: "Zhang Junzuo, please"

Looking at this officer who was nearly two meters tall and as big as a hill, Zhang Wenqing's heart sank slightly, but on the surface he was not afraid, and immediately followed the officer into the small village, Zhan Zhongyan and Tang Yunshan followed closely, but when the adjutant and the guards of the three people wanted to keep up, they were stopped by the officers and soldiers of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui who were in charge of guarding at the entrance of the village without hesitation.

"Dodge" Zhang Wenqing's adjutant snorted and reached for the pistol holster at his waist.

However, before Zhang Wenqing's adjutant could pull out his pistol, dozens of rifles turned around and aimed at him all over his body.

In the face of dozens of black holes in the muzzle, Zhang Wenqing's adjutant no longer dared to act rashly, and could only look at Zhang Wenqing with a plea for help, but Zhang Wenqing shook his hand lightly to the adjutant, although this is the territory of Xu 19 and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, but Xu 19 did not dare to do anything to him, and Zhang Wenqing turned around and strode into the village.
