Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "If you don't have the certainty of killing with one blow, then it's better not to act rashly." ”

Indeed, if it is not possible to ensure the killing of Xu 19, once the matter is revealed, it will not only chill the anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Anhui and even the entire Central China, but also more likely to trigger another serious consequence, that is, indirectly prompt Xu 19 and his Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to fall to the Communist Party, what is particularly terrible is that if the New Fourth Army suddenly joins forces with the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at this time, then the situation in southern Anhui will become extremely complicated.

At that time, not only will the encirclement and suppression of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui fail, but the entire southern Anhui may become the territory of the Communist Party.

Don't look at Gu Zhutong's Third War Zone, there are hundreds of thousands of people, but I am afraid that less than half of the troops can really go to the battlefield, and it is even more difficult to gather these hundreds of thousands of troops to launch an offensive against the New Fourth Army or the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

In the final analysis, the current strategic focus of the Nationalist Government is in the Ninth Theater, and the rest such as the Second Theater in Shanxi and the Third Theater in Zhejiang and Anhui are all secondary strategic directions, and in terms of materials, the Nationalist Government has also seriously tilted its limited resources toward the Ninth Theater, so in terms of combat effectiveness, it is difficult for the troops in the Third Theater to be reassured.

After pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back for a long time, Chairman Jiang finally stopped and instructed Dai Li: "Yunong, let's cancel the killing order, in view of the active offensive taken by the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Longkou and achieved great results, it is hereby commended and rewarded with 50,000 legal currency, in addition, the three theaters will replenish some guns and ammunition for the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and as for Xu 19, give him the rank of major general." ”

In the Central Army, many division commanders are already lieutenant generals, but their ranks are still only major generals or colonels, because there are strict quantitative restrictions on the number of military ranks, and only low-level officers can fill vacancies in high-level ranks, such as death from illness, war, or deprivation of military ranks due to crimes.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang's promotion of Xu 19 to major general is already a great concession and the limit of what he can do.

Of course, this is actually just lip service, the fiat currency has now been seriously depreciated, 50,000 fiat currency is afraid that only a few catties of rice can not be bought, as for letting the third war zone replenish the guns and ammunition of the 19th detachment of the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it is even a joke, even Gu Zhutong's own troops are not enough weapons, where is there surplus weapons and ammunition to supplement the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui?

Dai Li thought for a while and suggested in a low voice: "Commission, should we send a county magistrate to Longkou?" ”

"Well, you should send a county magistrate." Chairman Jiang nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Yunong, do you have any candidates?" ”

"There's one." Dai Li said in a low voice, "This person was born in the Wang clan of Longkou County, and he also has considerable influence in Longkou, but after Little Japan occupied Longkou, his national position was not firm enough, and he became the maintenance chairman of Little Japan, and later became the division commander of the puppet army, but now he has repented and is willing to work for the party-state and the committee members." ”

"Nonsense, a traitor, how can you ⊥ him to be the county magistrate?" Chairman Chiang was a little unhappy

"Commission, the key is that this person has a grudge against Xu Shijiu for killing his father and destroying his family, if he is made the magistrate of Longkou County, it can avoid a situation where Xu Shijiu monopolizes military and political power in Longkou and covers the sky with one hand."

Chairman Jiang's heart jumped, if Xu Shijiu was allowed to monopolize the military and political power in Longkou, wouldn't he become a warlord?

Chairman Chiang hated the warlords, because until now, the Nationalist Government had not yet solved the chronic problem of warlord secession, and whether it was Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Li Zongren in Guangxi, or Long Yun in Yunnan, they were all de facto grass-headed kings, and once the international situation changed, these grass-headed kings would immediately jump out and kick him in the ass.

In fact, Chairman Chiang not only failed to solve the old warlords such as Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Long Yun, but also produced a new generation of warlords within his central military system, such as Chen Cheng's civil engineering department, Hu Zongnan's First Military Department, and Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps

Even Chairman Chiang himself can already Yujian, once he dies, after the death of Yuan Shikai, the historical tragedy of the split of the Beiyang Army system will definitely reappear in his Central Army, for this matter, Chairman Chiang also racked his brains, but he has never been able to come up with an effective way to curb it.

Of course, compared with these old and new warlords, Xu Shijiu is really not worth mentioning.

However, if there is a chance to prevent Xu 19 from becoming a warlord, Chairman Jiang will definitely not be relentless, as long as he can prevent Xu 19 from becoming a warlord, forgive a traitor, and reuse him, what is there not to do? As the old saying goes, if the prodigal son doesn't change his money, the traitor can't reform himself?

At that moment, Chairman Jiang said: "Okay, you can do this thing." ”

"I see." Dai Lian bowed slightly and withdrew.

(Dividing Line)

When the Third Theater learned the news, it was going to be later than Chongqing.

Huang Baitao rushed into Gu Zhutong's office and said repeatedly: "General seat, it's amazing."

Gu Zhutong, who was heating on the brazier, was slightly unhappy, thinking that this Huang Baitao has always been steady, what happened today? How do you look like a student soldier who has just graduated from the Central Army, what is it like, what is it like

However, Huang Baitao didn't care to look at Gu Zhutong's face, because something really happened

Taking a breath, Huang Baitao calmed down the excitement in his heart and said: "General, the 19th detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui set up an ambush in Hulu Valley, and in one fell swoop wiped out the main force of the 14th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade."

"Well, what did you just say?" Gu Zhutong was taken aback suddenly, and the person also stood up, because he was in a hurry to get up, and almost overturned the brazier.

After standing up, Gu Zhutong stared at Huang Baitao and asked, "Chief of Staff, what did you just say, the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui set up an ambush in Hulu Valley and annihilated the main force of the 14th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade in one fell swoop?" ”

"Hmm." Huang Baitao nodded heavily, and said, "It may not be objective to say that the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade of Japan was completely annihilated, but it should be said that the troops left in Longkou County by the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were completely annihilated, counting two independent infantry brigades plus a cavalry brigade, about 2,000 people. ”

"That's not great, that's also terrible, Chief of Staff" Gu Zhutong said excitedly, "One guy eats two infantry brigades and a cavalry brigade in Japan, this is a great victory...

But halfway through the words, the look of joy on Gu Zhutong's face froze there, and then asked Huang Baitao suspiciously: "No, Chief of Staff, wasn't the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui already crippled by Little Japan?" Even Xu Jiu, a bastard, had defected to the enemy, how could they still ambush Little Japan in turn and annihilate the troops left in Longkou County by the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Formation of Little Japan? What the hell is going on? ”

"Soza, here's the thing." Huang Baitao took a breath and told the Trojan horse Jihua.

After listening to Huang Baitao, Gu Zhutong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, thinking that this Xu Nineteen was really daring

But having said that, judging from the effect, Xu Shijiu sacrificed his personal name in exchange for the result of completely annihilating the left-behind troops of the 14th Brigade and Regiment, which undoubtedly made a lot of money.

If it can be copied, Gu Zhutong can't wait to copy it once.

"General seat, now the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Longkou and even in the whole of southern Anhui has completely changed" Huang Baitao slammed the knot, "After the annihilation of the small Japanese independent mixed into the 14th Brigade Regiment, the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui has rapidly expanded to more than 5,000 people, under the jurisdiction of three regiments, plus an artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion, the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui has formed a climate."
