Wang Haitao looked at the Viet Cong people sitting and said: " Our three conditions are: First, after our troops are dispatched to Vietnam, we will be responsible for recovering the land south of Hanoi, and the land north of Hanoi will be recovered by the Vietnamese Liberation Army on its own; second, after recovering Hanoi City, our department will be responsible for helping the Vietnamese People's Liberation Army reorganize and train the troops of the three armies; third, after recovering Hanoi, our department will be responsible for recovering Haiphong Port, and Haiphong Port and its surrounding area of 200 kilometers will become leased land for a period of 100 years, during which our department will have the right to garrison troops and manage the leased area. ”

As soon as Wang Haitao's three conditions were raised, Wu Yuanjia immediately said: "General Wang, these three conditions are too much, aren't they? Hanoi is only more than 100 kilometers away from Haiphong Port, and if your lease is zoned to 200 square kilometers, won't it be possible to go all the way to the city of Hanoi? We cannot accept such conditions under any circumstances. ”

Wang Haitao replied: "That's it, let's discuss it again, I don't want to make it difficult for others." So Wang Haitao and several people from the Viet Cong in the office began to argue one by one, word by word, and even the lunch was sent to the office by the orderly soldiers to solve it in a hurry. They fought until the evening, when they finally reached a verbal agreement.

The content of the agreement is: "First, after Wang Haitao's troops were dispatched to Vietnam, they were responsible for clearing the Japanese troops south of Hanoi and assisting the Vietnamese People's Liberation Army in recovering the territory south of Hanoi. Second, after recovering the territory south of Hanoi, Wang Haitao's unit was responsible for helping the Vietnamese People's Army reorganize and train the strength of the four armies, each of which had two divisions and four brigades, three regiments per brigade, and 1,750 men in each regiment, and the weapons and equipment were supplied from the Japanese weapons and equipment captured in the battle.

After the completion of the training of the third and fourth armies, Wang Haitao's unit sent part of the troops to cooperate with the Vietnamese People's Liberation Army to continue to recover the remaining territories until all the territories were recovered. Fourth, after the recovery of Hanoi, Wang Haitao's troops can garrison the port after the recovery of Haiphong Port, and the area of 100 square kilometers around Haiphong Port is the station of Wang Haitao's department.

Fourth, Haiphong Port and its garrison Wang Haitao's headquarters may garrison up to 15,000 troops, and the garrison shall not possess artillery of more than 105 calibers, except for large-caliber heavy artillery aimed at the sea. Wang Haitao provided the Viet Cong government with 100,000 silver dollars per year as a fee for the use of the station, which was valid for 70 years. After expiration, Wang Haitao's troops will all withdraw from the port and station.

After the content was discussed, Wang Haitao asked the Viet Cong to come tomorrow to sign a formal agreement, and Wu Yuanjia had no opinion on this, but only asked Wang Haitao when he would be able to send troops to Vietnam, Wang Haitao promised to officially send troops to Vietnam in five days, and Wu Yuanjia and the Viet Cong people said goodbye and left. As soon as the Viet Cong people left, Wang Haitao immediately asked people to invite Tang Renxin, Tang Renli, and Li Yuanhong to the office.

When the three arrived at the office, Wang Haitao asked the three to sit down on the sofa, and a map of Vietnam was already on the coffee table. Wang Haitao told the three of them the results of the negotiations with the Viet Cong, and none of them had any opinion on the agreement. Wang Haitao said to the three of them: "Since we have decided to send troops to Vietnam, we must plan our troops. Let me start with my thoughts.

I am going to send the 90th and 93rd divisions to Vietnam this time, because the Vietnamese terrain is complex, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, so the armored troops are still mainly light combat vehicles, and one regiment of the armored brigade stayed in Hengyang. The reconnaissance faction sent two battalions to accompany the troops, and the heavy artillery brigade sent 152 heavy howitzer and artillery regiments to the expedition together.

Domestically, there is a new division available in Longzhou, and then the 1st Guard Regiment can be stationed in Longzhou City, and the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Independent Division will not change its garrison at Qinzhou Port, and the 1st Independent Brigade will need to be stationed on the line from Zhennanguan to Longzhou. Chongzuo City was garrisoned by the 2nd Guard Regiment, and the 462nd Brigade of the 211th Division was responsible for the garrison of the rest of the towns in the Chongzuo area. The 3rd Regiment of the Guards went with him to live in Vietnam. ”

There is no controversy about Wang Haitao's arrangement, but Tang Renxin proposed that Wang Haitao should sit in Longzhou and send troops to Vietnam to command the troops himself. Wang Haitao opposed Tang Renxin's proposal, pointing out that this time the dispatch of troops to Vietnam was different from the last time, and this time it was not only necessary to fight with the Japanese army, but also to deal with the Viet Cong, and there was also the issue of garrisoning Haiphong Port, and it would be better to come forward in person.

The reason put forward by Wang Haitao Tang Renxin couldn't object, so they could only nod and agree. The next day, the Viet Cong rushed to Wang Haitao's office early in the morning, and this time Tang Renxin and Tang Renli were present in the office, and the two sides solemnly signed the agreement. As soon as the agreement was signed, Wang Haitao immediately ordered the troops to assemble at Zhennan Pass.

In the next few days, the entire Wang Haitao's troops under his jurisdiction were mobilized, the 93rd Division was the first to assemble in Zhennanguan, and then the 90th Division was also assembled in the direction of Zhennanguan, on the fourth day, Wang Haitao was about to take the 3rd Guard Regiment and the mixed armored regiment to Zhennanguan together, and an urgent telegram from Hengyang made Wang Haitao have to stop.

In the telegram, Yao Yuanbao reported to the headquarters that the 210th Division had been ambushed by the Japanese army in Zhangshu County, Jiangxi, and that the 463rd Brigade of the 210th Division and the 211th Division was now besieged by three divisions and two mixed brigades of the Japanese army in Zhangshu County.

This telegram surprised Wang Haitao, the 210th Division plus a 463rd Brigade, with the support of armored troops and heavy artillery regiments, even if they can't defeat the Japanese army, there should be no problem in breaking through, but now that they are besieged in Zhangshu County, Wang Haitao immediately feels that there is a problem here. So Wang Haitao immediately called Yao Yuanbao back and ordered the reconnaissance regiment to immediately reconnoiter the number of the Japanese division besieging the 210th Division and the Japanese army's weaponry.

After sending the telegram to Yao Yuanbao, Wang Haitao urgently called Tang Renxin and other personnel from the headquarters to a meeting. Tang Renxin and the others already knew the news that the 210th Division was besieged by the Japanese army, and after hearing the notice of Wang Haitao's emergency meeting, they all rushed to the conference room while considering whether the plan to send troops to Vietnam would change.

When Wang Haitao entered the conference room, Tang Renxin, Tang Renli, Zhao Zhongwu and several operational staff officers had arrived, and as soon as Wang Haitao entered the door, everyone's eyes were on Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao still looked calm and walked into the conference room with steady steps. Everyone stood up at the same time, and Wang Haitao walked to the main seat in the center and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Wang Haitao said: "Hengyang has just sent an urgent telegram that the 210th Division and the 463rd Brigade have been besieged by three divisions and two mixed brigades of the Japanese army in Zhangshu County, Jiangxi, and we are asked to rush to support. In response to this unexpected situation, I need to make adjustments to Chongzuo's defense. All the troops of the 211th Division in Zongzuo immediately rushed to Hengyang with us, and the armored regiment and the 130th heavy artillery regiment also moved with us. The plan and troop strength of troops to Vietnam remained unchanged, but the war was to be commanded by Deputy Commander Tang Renxin, and all affairs in the Zongzuo area were under the full responsibility of Deputy Commander Zhao Zhongwu and Director Tang Renli. ”

As soon as Wang Haitao finished speaking, the people below were all talking, and after a while, Tang Renxin stood up and said: "Commander, since the Japanese army can besiege the 210th Division and the 463rd Brigade, it means that not only has a lot of people but also has a strong combat ability, you only take a dissatisfied 211th Division to Hengyang, the strength is too thin, do you consider postponing the dispatch of troops to Vietnam first, or only sending one division to Vietnam first?"

Wang Haitao thought for a while and said: "No, I will meet the opportunity when I arrive in Hengyang, there are still national army troops and CCP troops in Hunan, if necessary, I will ask them to send troops to help." At this time, Tang Renli stood up again and said: "Commander, the strength of the CCP is too poor, basically it can't help much, and no one knows whether the national army is willing to send troops or not, according to my thoughts, with Lao Jiang's people who will not send troops, it is the majority, maybe it will fall into the ground, commander, you can't save the 210th Division if you lead too few troops, I think you should consider the opinion of Deputy Commander Tang." ”

Wang Haitao also felt that what Tang Renli said was reasonable, and was thinking about whether to let the 90th Division postpone the expedition, when suddenly he remembered a troop. So Wang Haitao, who was a little excited, said: "We also neglected a unit, I remember that the last time I returned from Jurong, I asked Huang Guizhong to expand the army into an independent brigade, after such a long time, they should have been expanded long ago." Jurong is not far from Jiangxi, Renli you personally sent a telegram to Jurong, ordering Jurong's independent brigade to secretly sneak to Zhangshu County, Jiangxi, and wait for instructions to take a closer step after arriving. ”

Because the Jurong base was in the center of the Japanese occupation area, after the New Fourth Army crossed the river and went north, it had no support. Wang Haitao was afraid that the Jurong base would be exposed due to too many incoming and outgoing telegrams, so he asked Longzhou not to contact the Jurong base easily. And after Wang Haitao came back, there has been a constant war, so everyone didn't think for a while that there was still a force in Jurong.

Tang Renli also remembered Jurong's troops at this time, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Commander! After the meeting, I immediately got in touch with the Jurong base and conveyed the commander's order. At this time, Wang Haitao insisted on going to Vietnam to fight as a combat unit. Tang Renxin couldn't compete with Wang Haitao, so he could only agree with Wang Haitao's opinion, but insisted that Wang Haitao bring the third guard regiment with him. Wang Haitao saw that no matter how insistent Tang Renxin was, he could only agree to take the third guard regiment with him.

After the meeting, Wang Haitao was about to rush to Zhenzuo City, and the headquarters had already notified the 211th Division to prepare for the expedition. Just as Wang Haitao was about to leave, Tang Renli rushed over and reported to Wang Haitao that he had made contact with the Jurong base, and that the independent brigade of the Jurong base, led by brigade commander Huang Guizhong, would immediately rush to Zhangshu County, Jiangxi. Tang Renli also told Wang Haitao about the radio band that Huang Guizhong was carrying, so that Wang Haitao could get in touch with them.

Due to the advantages of the geographical shape and the fact that it is easy to avoid contact with the outside world, the existence of the Jurong base has not been discovered by the Japanese army until now. After Huang Guizhong broke up with Wang Haitao, he immediately returned to the base with his troops and began to expand his troops. After this period of expansion and training, Huang Guizhong now has an independent brigade with six regiments, and the number of people has reached 24,000.
