PS: The first update is uploaded, and the second update is expected to be around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so stay tuned!!

After only two days at home, Chen Feng had to leave for the south, because there were only four days left before the national defense and military meeting of the Nationalist Government.

In fact, the vast majority of people in the 40th Group Army were reluctant to let Chen Feng go to Wuhan to take risks, after all, everyone knew what kind of person Lao Jiang was. Although relations between the Nationalist Government and the 40th Group Army have eased somewhat, no one dares to guarantee that the Nationalist Government will not turn its back.

But Chen Feng thought about it again and again and decided to participate in this military meeting, he was not going to the Japanese medal on that sunny day, his main purpose to go to Wuhan this time was to do business with Lao Jiang, according to the statistics of the warehouse, the Japanese weapons and equipment captured by the army are enough to equip 15 complete Japanese armorers, in addition to a large number of miscellaneous weapons such as Zhongzheng, Hanyang-made and old sleeves, these things are left in the warehouse to occupy space in vain, it is better to take out Lu and Lao Jiang to exchange some oceans to cost-effective. In addition, Chen Feng now has a full 108 field heavy artillery pieces in his hands, which Chen Feng can't look down on, the 25-ton big guy is not suitable for the 40th Group Army, and he can also do a business with Lao Jiang.

More importantly, Chen Feng knew that the Nationalist Government's heavy weapons had been exhausted from the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Nanjing, and that the Japanese were about to attack the area of southern and northern Anhui, and that if there were no heavy weapons, the Chinese army would inevitably add a lot of casualties. At least in the next stage of the battle, it won't be as hard as before.

Since it was decided to go south, Chen Feng did not hesitate, and asked Long Jian to bring a guard battalion to go south with him, and ordered the special operations division to send a special operations squadron of 200 people to open the way in front, and he and the guard battalion took a car to Wuhan.

As soon as the convoy arrived in Datong, he received a telegram from the headquarters of the Second World War Zone, in which Yan Laoxi invited Chen Feng to go south to Wuhan with him, accompanied by Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the Eighteenth Group Army.

Chen Feng knew that Yan Laoxi should be worried that he did not plan to go south to Wuhan, and it may even be that Lao Jiang instructed him to do so, and it seems that the veteran attaches great importance to this national defense meeting.

Chen Feng immediately ordered the operator to send a report to the Second World War Zone, saying that the troops would be able to rush to Taiyuan tonight. Please rest assured, Chief Yan.

8 p.m. on the 22nd. Chen Feng led a guard to arrive outside the city of Taiyuan, and Yan Xishan, together with a number of senior generals in the Second War Zone and several senior officers of the 18th Group Army, went to the city gate to greet Chen Feng.

The group came to Yan Xishan's mansion from the city gate, the dinner was ready, and Chen Feng washed his face a little. Then they went to the banquet together accompanied by Long Jian.

This is the first time Chen Feng has seen this Yan Dashuai. The old man in Jintan didn't wear a military uniform. Dressed in a black cloth robe, he saw that this old man was an ordinary rich man on the Shanxi Plateau, how could he have the momentum of holding a powerful side.

Today, Yan Laoxi is the host. It is also the nominal boss of Chen Feng and Mr. Zhu, so the old man took the lead in raising his glass and said: "Today, all the senior officers in our Second World War Zone are gathered so together for the first time, not only Brother Yujie is here, but even our anti-Japanese hero Commander Chen is also here, it is really gratifying and congratulating, my old man respects you two on behalf of all my colleagues in the Second War Zone." After saying that, the old man tilted his head and it.

Chen Feng and Mr. Zhu were also not polite, and they did their own speeches.

Since the war had just ended, neither the Japanese army in the Pingjin area nor the Japanese army on the Xinkou front line could not take the initiative to attack, so there was no worry about the war, and everyone was very happy today, and a meal was a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

Early the next morning, Yan Xishan sent someone to inform Chen Feng to meet at the headquarters of the prefect of the Second War Zone.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the commander's department of the Second War Zone, I met Mr. Zhu and several senior cadres of the 18th Group Army, among which there were a few people who Chen Feng was very familiar with, the tall and thin should be Zuo Quan, deputy chief of the general staff of the 18th Group Army, the square-faced officer wearing glasses should be Liu Bocheng, the commander of the 129th Division, and the rest of Chen Feng had no impact, maybe it was a staff officer or something like the group army headquarters.

"Commander Chen, morning, hehehe!"

"Early, hehehe, I don't know what Chief Yan is doing if he doesn't hurry up and call us here?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"If you go in and take a look, you will know that something has happened." Mr. Zhu said.

Sure enough, after everyone arrived, Yan Laoxi took out a telegram and said: "I just received a telegram from the chairman's chamberlain, the military conference originally scheduled to be held in Wuhan on the 25th has been changed to be held in Kaifeng, Henan, and the time remains the same. ”

"Why did you change it to Kaifeng again?" The first to speak was Yang Aiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army in the Second World War Zone.

"I don't know about this, it stands to reason that the main direction of the Japanese army's attack now is along the Yangtze River to Wuhan, why did the committee think of going to Kaifeng for a meeting."

Just heard Yan Laoxi mention the name of Kaifeng, Chen Feng suddenly felt stunned, the history of the national government did convene in Kaifeng once, the time should be in January, and that meeting also happened a very important thing, Shandong Provincial Chairman Han Fuqu was arrested and shot soon after.

Originally, this incident should have happened a long time ago, but now there has been no movement, it seems that it is not that he has changed the fate of Han Fuqu and others, but he has postponed the time, if his expectations are not bad, the most important thing for Lao Jiang to hold a meeting in Kaifeng this time is to settle accounts with Han Fuqu after the autumn.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Could it be that those guys in the attendant room also said that in order to prevent the Japanese bombing, the meeting is going to be held at night?" ”

Yan Xishan glanced at Chen Feng in surprise, then nodded, and then asked out loud, "That's what happened, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's not inappropriate, but this meeting shouldn't be so peaceful, and there may even be a bloody disaster. However, it should not be any of us here who is stained with blood, so there is no need to worry. Chen Feng said.

"Bloodlight disaster? Are you saying that the chairman of the committee is going to take people under the knife? Yan Xishan asked with a frown.

"It's very possible, but it shouldn't be our knife, although the war in Shanxi is not very smooth, but it is not so erosive to the point of being out of control. In addition, the troops in the Second War Zone have repeatedly created great victories, whether it is the great victory in Tianzhen or the great victory in Xinghe, or the initiative to send troops to Saibei, recover Zhangjiakou, capture Tianjin, and the great victory achieved by the 115th Division of the 18th Group Army at Pingxingguan, these are enough to make everyone present give an account to the Military Commission and the people. Moreover, compared to us, whether it is Liu Zhi in the First War Zone, Zhang Zhizhong and Luo Zhuoying in the Songhu War Zone, or Han Fuqu in the Fifth War Zone, Liu Zhi lost the entire Hebei, Zhang Zhizhong and Luo Zhuoying lost the entire Songhu, Han Fuqu lost the entire Yellow River, and that Tang Shengzhi even lost the capital Nanjing, so even if the sky falls, there are still those people who are on top of it, and it has little to do with us. Chen Feng analyzed.

Yan Xishan thought for a while and said: "Su Yan (Chen Feng's words) makes sense, even if the commission really intends to rectify military discipline, it will not make an example of us, in terms of war exploits, our World War II zone is definitely the first in the country, and the commission will not do anything to us, so let's leave early." ”

Shanxi was not very far from Kaifeng, and there were no Japanese in Henan, so Yan Xishan only brought a guard battalion to the south. And the 18th Group also has only one guard battalion, so this time Yan Xishan, Chen Feng and Mr. Zhu each only brought one battalion of troops.

Although the whips are the same, everyone can see that there is a gap between the three guard battalions of the three parties, the same battalion, Chen Feng's guard battalion has more than 600 people, Yan Laoxi's guard battalion has more than 450 people, and Mr. Zhu's guards are only more than 220 people, which can only be regarded as a reinforced company.

The other three battalions are also equipped with different weapons and equipment, Chen Feng's guard battalion is mainly equipped with Mauser 98K and Thompson submachine guns, and there are also eight anti-aircraft machine guns installed on the car, and there are even four large-caliber mortars on the car. Yan Xishan's guard battalion was mainly equipped with a number of submachine guns, in addition to a large number of Czech light machine guns, but it did not carry artillery, only a few grenadiers.

The equipment of Mr. Zhu's guard battalion is far behind, the rifles are mainly based on the Japanese 38 big cover, and there are also some medium and formal, with a total of three light machine guns, one is crooked, two Czech, no submachine guns, no heavy machine guns, no artillery.

In order to hurry, Yan Laoxi mobilized 30 cars from the Second World War Zone, and under the escort of two armored vehicles, a huge convoy of many cars from the 40th Group Army headed straight for Kaifeng.

That night, the convoy rested in Changzhi, and after dinner, Yan Xishan ordered someone to invite Chen Feng to his room for a secret talk, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Xishan asked: "Solemn, does Lao Jiang really plan to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, the Nationalist Government is now in a declining situation in terms of the overall situation, although this is a strategy of exchanging space for time that the Central Military Commission has long formulated. But there are many generals who are not clear about this, let alone ordinary people. The government has lost the northern important towns of Beiping and Tianjin, and the people can tolerate the loss of the financial center Shanghai, but it is impossible to say that the capital Nanjing has been lost, and the Nationalist Government has been defeated repeatedly, the Battle of Songhu has failed, the Battle of Baoding has failed, the Battle of Nanjing has failed, Rehe has been lost, Chahar has been lost, Beiping has been lost, Hebei has been lost, and most of Shandong has also been lost. Chen Feng explained. (To be continued......)
