Chapter 116 Danger lurks

Chief of Staff Guan Yong's words touched Zhang Buyun's heart. ≥ ≯ 1 August <≦<.< Zhang Buyun was not satisfied with the reorganization of the heavens, nominally a group of corps, but in fact it was only based on the contingent under his original jurisdiction, and a small number of troops were transferred, and the establishment was incomplete and the number of soldiers was insufficient. After stationing in Zhucheng, it is necessary not only to consolidate the occupation of important points and lines, but also to ensure military transportation, the forces are quite scattered, and the mobile forces under control are less than one brigade, and it is too difficult to really concentrate forces to start a war with the Eighth Route Army.

Chief of Staff Guan Yong frowned, and then said: "At present, our troops are less than 5,000 people, distributed in the vast area of Binbei, exhausted and unrestrained. It is difficult to expect a fundamental improvement in this situation until the overall strategic approach is radically changed. ”

"Are we going to be on the fence?" Zhang Buyun was sullen.

"No, no. We have a lot to do. Guan Yong waved his hand twice and said, "Today's war cannot be won simply by relying on knives and guns, and it is necessary to counterattack the military, political, economic, and cultural blockade of the Eighth Route Army." Only by taking the initiative to contact other Kuomintang troops, supporting each other, and jointly attacking the Eighth Route Army can we keep the base of Zhucheng! ”

"Is that realistic?" Zhang Buyun turned his fat neck and asked suspiciously.

"Realistic, of course." Chief of Staff Guan Yong laughed, "This group of guys is either a big landlord or a small warlord, they have a fundamental stake in **, and sooner or later they will always fight." I have dealt with He Yingqin, Yin Rugeng, and Han Fuyu, and these guys, like their master, Chiang Kai-shek, are much more afraid of ** than of the Japanese. If he is attached to the Japanese, he will get a cup of leftover soup. And in front of **, they are going to lose even their pants. ”

"Oh-" Zhang Buyun became interested in the chief of staff's argument.

The chief of staff turned the pole and continued to express his opinion as if a seasoned teacher was lecturing to elementary school students: "It is time for these fellows to put military pressure on them, and at the same time to deceive them, and to use both soft and hard measures, not afraid that they will not obey." ”

"This ......"

"General, if you think about it, driving them to compete with the Eighth Route Army will definitely greatly weaken the strength of the Eighth Route Army, isn't it much more effective than us mobilizing the army alone. Especially at a time when we are not able to spare our hands for a while, it is necessary to have long-term strategic significance, and it is a timely means of contingency. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Buyun responded with his nose again and again, Chief of Staff Guan Yong pointed out a feasible way to eliminate this Eighth Route Army, why didn't he think of this? It's really worthy of someone who worked under Yoshiko Kawashima. He turned to think that although these puppet armies were weak, they were not necessarily as estimated by the chief of staff, but Chiang's orders were to be obeyed. Then he asked, "Are they so easily manipulated?" ”

"It depends on how well we do our espionage work." The chief of staff was not busy answering positively, but he showed infinite feelings from this.

"Yes!"

Guan Yong said abruptly, "It is a pity that many people, especially those in our military circles, always look down on espionage work, and even do not hesitate to insult them for stealing chickens and dogs. Those who hold this view, either out of prejudice or out of shallow ignorance, do not know that it is these unsung heroes who have paved the way for the party-state to rejuvenate the country. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Take 10,000 steps back, the chicken and dog thieves also have their special uses, if there are no diners of the chicken and dog thieves, Meng Zhaojun will not be able to pass the Hangu Pass."

"Our immediate task at present is not limited to these, first of all, we should strengthen the construction of the base, we cannot create our glorious and sacred cause in this mess. We should have a strong city defense, a fast and accurate intelligence network, unimpeded transportation, and a strong supply of supplies to ensure wartime. ”

"Good!"

"We should immediately start building barracks, building underground command posts, and building Zhucheng into a strong strategic fortress, making it the highest model of all strategic bases."

Zhang Buyun was encouraged, and the initial dissatisfaction had disappeared, and he focused on the planning of the current task. His large, shaggy hands cut through the table with great force, and in his unmistakable confidence he said, "We must also have a strong line of defense." ”

"Exactly." Chief of Staff Guan Yong enthusiastically seconded, "There should be a stronger line of defense, not entirely for defense, but for offense." At first, it was placed in the suburbs, and then continued to move forward, compressing the ** local troops, compressing the Eighth Route Army, and squeezing them all! ”

"Squeeze them all! Squeeze! Zhang Buyun echoed like an echo, and he liked this powerful sentence very much.

The chief of staff straightened up, looked at Zhang Buyun, and said in a conclusive manner: "General, wait and see, Zhucheng, this strategic town in history, will take on the great achievements of our group army and shine with new brilliance, and it will go down in history along with our name."

The internal contradictions of the enemy are becoming more and more acute. Zhang Buyun was often busy until late at night in order to strengthen the city's defenses. On this day, he rushed home very late. His wife told him, "There is an officer waiting for you." ”

Zhang Buyun was puzzled, he didn't know the purpose of the sudden visit of the old Jiang spy agent. Zhang Buyun strode to the living room. Shan Dai (Wang Wenbin), who had been pacing and pondering, introduced himself calmly: "Your Excellency, I am a lieutenant officer under Mao Renfeng. ”

Zhang Buyun glanced at Shan Dai suspiciously, and asked strangely, "You have something to do with me?" ”

Shan Dai said quietly: "We want to know a few questions about your subordinates.

Zhang Buyun was nervous for a while, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm and said, "I will try my best to meet your request." ”

Shan Dai said: "The unidentified person who was killed in the Boli incident is said to be an officer under your command, named Ma Xiaoha. Do you remember? ”

When Zhang Buyun heard this, he was secretly taken aback. Worried about implicating himself, he hurriedly confessed: "I, I don't know." ”

Shan Dai smiled slightly and said bluntly: "As far as we know, this Ma Xiaoha has seen you at the house of Head Wang. ”

Zhang Buyun knew in his heart that it seemed that the "military commander" had found some clues that he wanted to be the emperor of the soil. In order to hide his panic, he shouted angrily: "This is all nonsense! ”

Shan Dai didn't pay attention to the grumpy Zhang Buyun. He calmly took out the conversation record between the second aunt of the head of the regiment Wang and the secretary of Mao Renfeng from the briefcase and put it in front of Zhang Buyun. Zhang Buyun glanced at it, and then shouted angrily: "This is purely rumors and frames!" ”

In order to create a contradiction between Zhang Buyun and Head Wang, Shan Dai further said: "Before the devil surrendered, we learned that this head Wang is the first underground party and has been secretly cooperating with Ma Xiaoha, but unfortunately you are still kept in the dark, and you still regard him as a cronie." ”

Shan Dai's words gave Zhang Buyun a blow to the head.
