Yanjia Town, the headquarters of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the puppet army.

Yan Weixin hurriedly walked into Yan Sanquan's office and said, "Big brother, it's not good"

Yan San, who was sitting by the fire and roasting the fire, was startled and asked, "Restoration, what's wrong?" Isn't the recruitment going well? ”

"Big brother, I'm not talking about recruitment, just now Translator Niu has already left for Erlong Mountain," Yan Weixin said, "Moreover, Fujido Gaoying has just given an order to withdraw the four infantry brigades that are chasing and suppressing the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and now only the Ohara Brigade is still in the mountains, and it is said that it is still consumed by the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment from Qingyang, and I don't know what is going on." ”

"Fujido Gaoying should almost withdraw his troops." Yan Sanquan lightly bowed his head, a large army of five or six thousand people, in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, following the remnants of the five or six hundred anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui to run around, it is not a matter after all, after all, this sweep has lasted for nearly a month, and the consumption is too great, and the old devil of Fujitang Gaoying is estimated to be unable to bear it.

"However, Weishenme is a cow translator? Didn't you say Xu Nineteen? Yan Sanquan asked again.

"Big brother, this is not simple, Translator Niu is the front station for Xu Nineteen." Yan Weixin said, "You don't want to think about it, now Xu Shijiu is a trump card in the hand of Fujitang Gaoying, can he play it so easily?" In case, when Xu Shijiu entered the mountain and didn't see Gao Shenxing, but let a certain officer under him who had hidden evil intentions click, then Fujitang Gao Ying should cry. ”

As high-ranking officials of the puppet army, the brothers Yan Sanquan and Yan Weixin also have a little understanding of the composition of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, and they all know that the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is a whole on the surface, but in fact, there are several shili with different backgrounds, except for Gao Shenxing's loyalty to Xu Shijiu, the other main officers are divided into two distinct camps, one is inclined to the national army, and the other is inclined to the communist army.

Yan Sanquan and Yan Weixin brothers speculated from the perspective of the most sinister people's hearts that at this time, whether it was the national army or the communist camp, they actually had the motive to kill Xu Shijiu, because this was the best time for them to master this army, don't look at the current anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui seems to be at the end of the road, but the remaining five or six hundred remnants of this zuihou are all elites

"That's right." Yan Sanquan nodded, and said, "It seems that we must also prepare." ”

Yan Weixin said: "Big brother, at present, our first brigade has been expanded to a small 2,000 people, but the problem is that the newly recruited veterans who have participated in the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui are all veterans, and it is inappropriate to use them to deal with the remnants of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, so the old people who can rely on our original plainclothes team for this operation are still about 500 people in total." ”

"Just relying on the old men of our plainclothes team, it will definitely not work, this is our old bottom, if we all get in, we will have no roots in the future." Yan Sanquan gently twisted the mustache on his lips as he spoke, and said, "It seems that we have to call Niu Sigen, and let Niu Sigen also participate, so as not to zuihou him to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Fujido Gaoying and Haneda have already hinted at Yan Sanquan just now, this time Xu Shijiu came forward to recruit the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, so Yan Sanquan is not worried about what Fujido Gaoying and Haneda will do to him after he does it himself.

However, symbolic punishment is inevitable.

Therefore, Yan Sanquan wanted to pull the four cows and let the four cows also share a part.

Yan Weixin said: "Big brother, your idea is haode, but Niu Sigen will agree?" ”

Yan Sanquan said: "Niu Sigen weishenme disagrees, maybe he is more active than us." ”

Yan Weixin said: "It's true, it is Niu Sigen who caught Xu Shijiu and dedicated it to Little Japan, and the one who is most worried about the retaliation of the remnants of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui is of course Niu Sigen, if the remnants of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui are really recruited to join the Imperial Army, in the future, Niu Sigen will not be able to sleep at night, and he will have to worry about others beating him on the battlefield, he should indeed be more active than us." ”

Yan Sanquan said: "But I can't come forward in this matter, it seems that we are in a hurry, and at that time, maybe Niu Sigen will deliberately use his tone to make a tune, so you should go and probe Niu Yutang's tone first, and see what reaction they have." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and explore Niu Yutang's tone." Yan Weixin nodded.

(Dividing Line)

Niu Yutang walked into the headquarters of the Second Brigade with a depressed face.

Niu Sigen was reading a book, and when he saw Niu Yutang walking in with an unhappy face, he asked, "Yutang, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not because of recruitment." Niu Yutang took off the big cap on his head and threw Niu Si on the big board table, and then sat down opposite Niu Si Gen with his butt, and said quite depressedly, "Fujitang Gaoying, this old devil, is clearly facing Yan San Fist, towards the First Brigade. ”

"Yutang, why do you say that?" After Niu Sigen finished speaking, he lowered his voice and reprimanded, "Also, another old devil, be careful that you call Shunkou one day, in front of Fujitang Gaoying, and shout like this, then you will be finished." ”

Niu Yutang pursed his lips and said: "Brother, you don't know, there are people making trouble in our recruiting office every day, but Little Japan just doesn't care, I can't be angry, and I also sent people to the First Brigade Recruitment Office to make trouble, but guess what, the military police of Little Japan came right away and beat our people violently."

Niu Sigen's face darkened, and he asked, "So, there hasn't been anyone recruited during this time?" ”

For the expansion of the puppet army's southern Anhui garrison division, Fujido Takaying and Haneda are open-minded, first, they do need a large and extremely effective imperial army to assist them in maintaining law and order in southern Anhui, on the other hand, the armament of the imperial army is in their hands, so even if the southern Anhui garrison division is really expanded into a full division, they are not worried.

In addition, Fujido Gaoying is also an ambitious person, looking at the whole of China at this stage, except for the Northeast which has fallen as early as nine years ago, the rest of the vast occupied areas like North China and Central China, there has not yet been a decent Imperial Army, at this time, if Fujido Gaoying can create a very effective Imperial Association Army in southern Anhui, it will become his military highlight.

At that time, it was not impossible for Okamura Ninji to directly transfer him to the North China Front Army and serve as chief of staff, and Fujido Takaei was very sure that as long as he made achievements in public security, Okamura Ninji would definitely be able to see it.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Fujitang Gaoying did not restrict the expansion of the southern Anhui garrison division.

It can be expanded and expanded, and it is impossible for Fujitang Gaoying to make the southern Anhui garrison division really monolithic, so the first brigade and the second brigade are recruited separately, so there is a conflict between the two recruitment offices, after all, Longkou is only so big, and there are only one or two thousand veterans with certain combat experience.

"Don't mention it." Niu Yutang said, "The First Brigade has already recruited two thousand people, but we have recruited less than five hundred. ”

Niu Sigen's face immediately became gloomy, after the gourd valley and the red soil, there were less than five hundred people left in his troops, and now even if the five hundred people just recruited were added, the total number of people was less than a thousand, but the first brigade of the three fists had expanded to a small two thousand people, and the strength of the first brigade was almost twice that of the second brigade, which was not good news for him.

Although he kept hinting at himself in his heart and telling himself that he was a sleeper, Niu Sigen still instinctively thought that if he was awakened one day, the first thing he would need to face at that time would not be Little Japan, but the first brigade of Yan Sanquan, so the stronger the first brigade of Yan Sanquan, the greater the difficulties and risks he would face in the future.

While chatting, a guard came in and reported that Yan Weixin had invited Niu Yutang to Kondo Salon for a drink.

"Yan Weixin invited me to Kondo Salon for a drink at this time?" Niu Yutang said angrily, "What does he mean, deliberately watching our jokes?" ”

"Not necessarily, maybe something else." Niu Sigen said, "Since he has already drawn the way, then you can go over, no matter what, don't let people look down on our brothers." ”

"Okay, then I'll go over it." Niu Yutang grabbed the big cap and turned to leave.

Seeing Niu Yutang go out, Niu Sigen also stood up, and then called a few guards and left the brigade headquarters directly.

Niu Yutang didn't expect that just when he walked out of the gate of the brigade headquarters, the muzzle of a black hole was already aimed at him.
