The chairman lived in a large three-hole cave in Yangjialing at the time, and the staff of the Central Office took Zheng Weiguo straight over. The guards along the way should have been notified in advance, and no one stopped or questioned them along the way.

The cave was brightly lit, and from time to time there was a hearty laughter, as if they were having a good time. Zheng Weiguo said: "The chairman has a guest here? ”

The staff smiled: "Master Zheng, don't worry, just accompany the guests, this time you are the host and guest!" ”

Zheng Weiguo knew that he was making fun of the daytime, and he couldn't help but laugh, which caused a group of guards to look sideways.

The staff member walked to the cave and said, "Chairman, Master Zheng has arrived!" ”

I only heard the chairman smile and said: "It's our anti-Japanese hero who has arrived, please come in!" As he spoke, he pushed the door and walked out, and there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a mustache standing beside him, and his posture was somewhat similar to that of the chairman.

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "The chairman has an overreputation, I just did my duty as a soldier." ”

The Chairman said, "Well, being too modest equals pride. Now that the national crisis is at the head, we must strive to be the hero of the nation, and the hero is glorious! Sit, sit! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Yes, I listen to the chairman and strive to be a big hero!" ”

The chairman smiled: "That's right! Come, let me introduce you to Director Li of the Liaison Bureau. ”

Zheng Weiguo asked curiously, "Director Li?" ”

Director Li nodded and said with a smile: "Li Kenong! ”

Zheng Weiguo was shocked, this is the legendary "King of Agents"! No, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be censored! Zheng Weiguo's heart was pounding, but fortunately, the special forces officers had super psychological quality, and finally did not show their feet on the spot. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Is it the underground party around Xu Enzeng back then?" ”

Director Li smiled, glanced at Zheng Weiguo intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "How did Senior Master Zheng know about Lu Dao?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I heard my chief of staff talk about it. He used to work in the confidential department of the national army, and he knew a lot of secrets, and he often used these things as a meal when he ate. ”

The chairman quipped: "If you take the director of the Central Unification Bureau as a meal, won't you eat several military and political dignitaries in one meal!" After saying that, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.

After greeting for a while, the chairman praised Zheng Weiguo's battle well and said: "Weiguo, you are better at fighting than Lin Biao!" Erlongshan, Dongyang Pass, Taiyuan three battles and three victories, played the military prestige and national prestige, amazing! He also said that Zheng Weiguo led a surprise attack on Taiyuan compared to Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuyuan, which is a miracle in the history of war.

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "I am willing to learn from Master Lin, fight for the people, and resolutely not be a warlord like Cao Cao." ”

The chairman's eyes lit up, and he said yes again and again, and welcomed Zheng Weiguo to join the ranks of the people.

Zheng Weiguo took the opportunity to ask to join the party, and put on the table the application for joining the party, which had been written a long time ago, and his own gun, and said: "Chairman, I am willing to accept the party's command, be the people's armed force, and fight for national independence and the people's liberation!" ”

The chairman said: "The organization of our party is very strict, and anyone who wants to join the party must be examined! ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "I am willing to accept the review of the organization!" ”

The chairman smiled and said, "You are very familiar with our party's policies!" ”

Zheng Weiguo explained: "When I was in the Northeast before, I had contact with the Communists, and I almost joined the party, but unfortunately I lost contact after the September 18 incident. If I want to join the party now, can I be re-admitted organizationally? It would be better if the chairman and Director Li could be my introducers to join the party. ”

The chairman and Director Li looked at each other and smiled, and said, "I personally express my support!" ”

Director Li smiled: "If there is no problem with the review, I will agree." ”

The censorship is simple, because Zheng Weiguo's previous social relations were not complicated. After the Anti-Japanese War, he has been exposed to everyone's eyes, and there is no problem. After the review is passed, Zheng Weiguo will be an active member of the party, and after organizational discussion, he can be included in the probationary party member, and after a period of time, he can become a regular member.

After the review process was over, the chairman asked Zheng Weiguo why he dared to go deep into Taiyuan and continuously attack the surrounding enemies. Zheng Weiguo talked about the benefits of fighting on the inside line, and the chairman was very happy to hear it, because this was his old man's forte.

As he spoke, he talked about the current situation. At this time, "On Protracted War" had not yet been published, but the relevant understanding and theory were already available. The chairman said that the Japanese army would definitely gather heavy forces to seize Xuzhou in order to open up the Jinpu line, and expressed concern about the situation of the national army.

Director Li said through intelligence analysis: "Li Zongren of Xuzhou is brave and wise, good at combining troops, and his troops are also very strong, so he should be able to achieve a victory." ”

The chairman said: "Weiguo, what do you think? ”

Zheng Weiguo thought to himself that this is a test for me, yes, the weasel lifts the curtain - showing a small hand! So he pondered the words and said: "There must be a big battle between the Japanese army and the national army on the front line of Xuzhou." Judging from the strength and situation, the national army has the advantage, so it is very possible to win a battle. However, there are benefits and troubles after winning the battle. ”

The chairman became interested and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Needless to say, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there have been endless voices of surrender at home and abroad, and a big victory is urgently needed to be inspiring." The trouble is that this battle has the potential to evolve from a campaign-level battle to a decisive battle between China and Japan. ”

He secretly glanced at the chairman and Director Li, and saw that they were all listening carefully, so he hurriedly continued: "After winning the war, whether it is for the sake of interests or domestic public opinion, the chairman of the committee will definitely not withdraw his troops, and maybe he will vigorously increase his troops. When the Japanese army loses face, it will inevitably increase its troops, so that the forces on both sides will accumulate more and more, until it is out of control! ”

Director Li frowned and said, "Well, it makes sense, you go on!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "The Chinese army lacks heavy weapons, and it will definitely lose in a decisive battle. Don't talk about Xuzhou at that time, I'm afraid that even Wuhan won't be able to be saved. ”

Historically, Chang Kaishen finally ordered the withdrawal of troops at the last moment, avoiding the annihilation of the elite army at the last moment. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth Theater retreated in panic, and the Japanese army pursued them. Fortunately, Li Zongren maintained it with all his might, and the troops did not collapse, but they were also powerless to block the counterattack. The 14th Division of the Japanese Army took advantage of the chaos to fight out from between the 1st and 5th theaters and approached Wuhan. At that time, Wuhan was not ready for battle, and Chang Kaishen had to replace the soldiers with water, drowning millions of nationals, and bearing infamy through the ages.

The chairman lit a cigarette for himself and said angrily: "China is big and weak, and the benefits are long-lasting, while Japan is small and strong, and the benefits are in the quick decision." Some people just don't understand such a simple truth, and they don't listen to it! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Defeat on the frontal battlefield is inevitable, but there is still something to be done on the battlefield behind enemy lines. ”

At the mention of the battlefield behind enemy lines, the chairman was a little excited and began to talk about the importance of creating base areas behind enemy lines. Zheng Weiguo also said a lot about his own establishment of the base area of Ping'an County and some of the history he knew. Speaking of the subtleties, Director Li couldn't help but join in.

The chairman is good at predicting and analyzing, Director Li has intelligence support, and Master Zheng is even better, a prophet of the future! The three of them talked speculatively, and they talked about it in the middle of the night, until the rooster crowed for the first time, and they realized that time had passed.

Zheng Weiguo looked out the window and said with some regret: "Time flies so fast, as soon as dawn I will go south to Xi'an with Commander-in-Chief Wei." I have a reluctant request, President! ”

The chairman said, "Please! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Our 33rd Division now lacks political workers and technical personnel, and the Eighth Route Army is full of talents. ”

The chairman said with a smile: "I heard that the 129th Division has sent many comrades to work in you. What's the matter, or is it too little? ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "The number of people is really insufficient, and some people do not have the 129th Division." ”

The chairman said curiously: "What kind of talent do you want?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Artillery and cavalry commanders are needed, preferably from Maozi, oh no, it is the Soviet Union, and it is necessary to return from studying in the Soviet Union." He usually called the Soviet Union Maozi, but he said it as soon as he said it.

Director Li smiled: "What, do you have an opinion about the big brother of the Soviet Union?" ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "No, it used to be called Shunkou in the Northeast, and it will be corrected next time!" ”

The chairman said: "Count you as an unintentional mistake, pay attention in the future!" ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "Yes! ”

The chairman nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go back and rest first, we need to study the list of support cadres, and we will send the 33rd Division to assist you in your work as soon as possible." As he spoke, he handed him back his Jin Luger pistol, and said with a smile: "I accepted the application for joining the party, you take the pistol back first, now is not the time for the knife and gun to enter Kuma and put Nanshan!" We are all waiting for you to make greater contributions to the country and the nation! ”

Zheng Weiguo said happily: "Yes, chairman! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Out of the cave, the staff sent him to the station outside the city. Zhang Changgui was waiting anxiously and said, "Master, why did you come back at this time, the brothers are in a hurry!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Didn't I tell you before? Remember, this matter is strictly confidential, no one is allowed to spread it, and violators will be punished by military law! ”

Zhang Changgui was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Yes!" ”

After Zheng Weiguo left, Director Li asked, "Chairman, what do you think of Zheng Weiguo?" ”

The chairman thought for a moment and said, "This Zheng beard is not simple!" Judging by its fierce and tenacious battles, it can be compared to the king's beard; Speaking humorously and wittily, comparable to a beard; The mind is wise, comparable to Zhou's beard! ”

Director Li didn't expect the chairman to give such a high evaluation, saying: "But I see that he is young and speaks openly, I'm afraid he is a little unstable!" ”

The chairman waved his hand and said with a smile: "No one is perfect!" Besides, who hasn't been young? Lin Biao was still a doll back then, and now he is a well-known Red Army general. ”

He added: "Such talents are exactly what the revolution urgently needs!" We must not only develop him into our ranks, but also help him grow into a true revolutionary. Only in this way can our revolution march towards victory day by day. ”

Director Li listened with great admiration and said, "What the chairman said is that I will do a good job!" ”

The chairman asked Director Li and said, "Who in our team has studied artillery in the Soviet Union?" ”

Director Li thought for a moment and said, "There are two, one is Zhu Rui and the other is Guo Huaruo." Note: These two were the first and second principals of the Eighth Route Army Artillery School, and they made great achievements for the construction of the people's artillery.

The chairman sighed and said, "Right now we have an artillery regiment without shells, and they are also useless heroes!" Then transfer the two of them to work in the 33rd Division, not only can they strengthen the party's work in the 33rd Division, but they can also take the opportunity to exercise! ”

Director Li said: "Good is good! However, Comrade Zhu Rui is afraid that he will not be able to leave. ”

The chairman said, "Oh, I remember, did he go to the First War Zone?" ”

Director Li said: "Yes, Comrade Zhu Rui is now doing united front work at the Cheng Qian Department of the Kuomintang First Theater, serving as the head of the Liaison Office of the Commander of the 18th Group Army in the First Theater and as an instructor of the guerrilla training class in northern Henan. Recently, preparations are underway for the establishment of the North China Military and Political Cadres School. ”

The chairman was a little regretful and said: "These tasks are not easy to interrupt, and it seems that only Comrade Guo Huaruo has been transferred." ”

Director Li said: "Chairman, that Comrade Guo Huaruo has been expelled from the party, do you think? ”

The chairman waved his hand and said disapprehantly: "Guo Huaruo, this comrade, I know the Tao, what can be the problem?" It's long overdue, you hurry up and deal with it! ”

Director Li nodded again and again and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away!" ”

The chairman said: "Well, well, the artillery is there, what about the cavalry?" ”

Director Li said: "Chairman, this is really not. The cavalry has long been a sunset unit, and who will learn this after a trip to the Soviet Union? ”

The chairman said, "Well, it's really not. Zheng Weiguo probably heard that there were Cossack cavalry in the Soviet Union and thought that we had them. When the time comes, explain it to him, so as not to create a barrier. ”

Director Li patted his head and said, "Hey, there is!" Just when you mentioned the Cossack cavalry, I remembered! There are two comrades of the Western Route Army who are now studying cavalry in Xinjiang, and the instructors were sent by the Soviet Union! ”

The chairman was overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's finally worth the trust!" What are their names? ”
