Chapter 144: Hefei Fengyun (7)

He said with a smile: "Although the two parties have different political views, they are both the National Revolutionary Army and jointly resist Japan, of course, the National Government is the mainstay, and the New Fourth Army is only fighting independently, and others will not disobey orders." ”

Xue Ru smiled, and anyone would say this kind of official words, so he said: "Okay, we lack the most basic understanding, and we will talk about military cooperation later, I want to know how many weapons and ammunition the four detachments can exchange?" ”

The New Fourth Army did not know about Snow Fox at all, and it was only a matter of information about him, and military cooperation itself lacked a foundation of trust, and when the commander convened a meeting, most of the people attending the meeting opposed military cooperation with Snow Fox.

Putting aside the issue of the two parties, it is just Snow Fox's reputation and methods that make it difficult for the New Fourth Army to agree. Don't take prisoners, execute wounded soldiers on the battlefield, collect all the money of the Japanese army and the puppet army, and the operational thinking of the rogue is unacceptable to the CCP.

The party committee finally decided that the military cooperation would be talked about later, mainly to change weapons and ammunition, why Xue Ru needed so many machine guns and pistol bullets, they didn't know, but the conditions given by Snow Fox were very favorable. If these heavy weapons were available, the four detachments could have advanced to the east of Hefei to open up a base area, and they were not interested in a city like Hefei.

Hearing Xue Ru's question, he said, "We have raised a lot of money from everywhere, but we can only have 50,000 rounds of ammunition, if Miss Xue can give time, we can exchange them for a long time." ”

For Xue Ru, 50,000 rounds is too little, and it seems that the New Fourth Army really doesn't have any weapons and ammunition, so he said: "Okay, discuss the details with Chief of Staff Lai, and exchange locations, let's start with 50,000." ”

Xue Ru's disappointed expression, Tan Feng could see that he was a little strange, why didn't Snow Fox find a way from the state government, but he wanted to exchange it in this way? But that's someone else's business, but this time it seems to have been cheapened, and of course I don't object to it.

said some kind words again, Xue Ru did not participate in these, and let Lai Changwen discuss with Tan Feng. Because these bullets were not enough, after sending him away, Xue Ru took Li Wenxiu and Zhang Zhong to the headquarters of the 137th Regiment.

Maybe it's because of the wine, maybe Zhang Hu is different from He Guozhen, Zhang Hu is still so enthusiastic: "Miss Xue, your guests are here, please come inside." ”

Xue Ru didn't know why, he was so happy every time he saw Zhang Hu, while the other generals of the national army always looked like failure. Zhang Hu They were on the front line, facing the Japanese army in Hefei, but they never saw that when they were worried, they laughed every time. This state also affected Xue Ru, and said with a smile: "Head Zhang is an optimist, and I can get better when I see you." ”

Zhang Hu also smiled: "Miss Xue's age and tone really don't match, Zhang is like this, being a soldier, I can't stop life and death from being depressed, besides, I'm really not afraid of the Japanese." ”

"Oh?" Xue Ru came for a purpose: "Since Commander Zhang doesn't care about the Japanese, why don't you attack?" Wouldn't it be better to reclaim the fat? ”

This time Zhang Hu began to be stunned, his mind was not as big as it looked like, and his eyes were full of energy. Look at Xue Ru and say, "Miss Xue, are you planning to attack Hefei?" ”

Xue Ru did not object, nodded and said, "I have this plan, but it depends on whether Head Zhang can help." ”

Zhang Hu's spirit was shocked, but then he shook his head: "Miss Xue, I know that the snow fox has many ways to attack the city, but in the end, it will withdraw." Hefei was depressed by the Japanese, but there is nothing you can rob, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Xue Ru tilted his head to look at him: "Captain Zhang, listening to your words, why do I feel like a bandit?" ”

Zhang Hu laughed again: "Miss Xue doesn't say secret words, Zhang still admires you very much, I don't have that guts, it's nothing to rob traitors and devils, but Hefei has nothing to worry about." ”

Xue Ru nodded: "Head Zhang, I don't want to withdraw after fighting Hefei, so I want to cooperate with you, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Hu still shook his head: "That's even more impossible, Hefei is now the strength of a brigade, even if it is attacked, it is not able to hold it, if it can be held, the 26th Army will not withdraw." ”

Xue Ru does have plans to take Hefei down, although there are tens of thousands of devils in a brigade, but if the three can cooperate, it may not be impossible. However, Zhang Hu repeatedly said that he couldn't hold it, so he asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

Zhang Hu stood up and walked to the map: "Miss Xue, you see that the Japanese army has the 5th, 9th, 13th, 16th, and 10th divisions in Xuzhou, a total of five divisions, and at the same time there are also the 14th divisions in Lanfeng, and there are two mixed brigades in Linyi. Xuzhou has been lost, and the Japanese army has the 6th, 3rd and 101st divisions in Jiangnan, how many troops is this? Hefei will become the second Xuzhou, how many troops can be used to hold Hefei? Therefore, I think that with Miss Xue's clever tactics, Hefei can indeed be captured, but unfortunately Hefei cannot be held without hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

Xue Ru looked at the map and was speechless for a while, it seemed that he was thinking too simply. That's true, it's just that it's useless to capture Hefei, the key problem is that it can be held, if it can't be held, then there is no point. Nodding admiringly, he said: "Head Zhang is a head of the regiment, Xue Ru is indeed inferior." ”

Zhang Hu shook his head: "Miss Xue is too modest, because I know the Japanese army better than you, if they are all Snow Fox Brigade, I think they can be defended, but the Tenth Army and the Twenty-seventh Army may not be able to." ”

Xue Ru understands that this is the key to the problem, the snow fox can capture Hefei, but the number of troops is too small to hold, but it is a pity that more than 700,000 troops failed to hold Shanghai, more than 400,000 troops failed to hold Xuzhou, more than 1 million failed to hold Wuhan, why do you want to use tens of thousands of troops to hold Hefei, but you know all these things, why are you still so whimsical?

Full of joy and enthusiasm, he cooled down in an instant, thinking that he had developed a good strategy to seize Hefei, take him as the center, develop and expand the surrounding area, backed by Dabie Mountain, side of the Yangtze River, can develop and grow, so that the devils can not attack Wuhan. But how is this possible, firstly, the national army will not be mobilized by itself, and secondly, the combat effectiveness of the national army will also ......

came full of enthusiasm, but was disheartened by Zhang Hu's words. Seeing Xue Ru's disappointed expression, Zhang Hu said: "Miss Xue, I don't have to say anything, but Zhang still has to say a few words, you are too anxious, Snow Fox is strong in combat, but you only have about a thousand people, and you can't solve any problems." ”

Xue Ru was a little dazed again, she was in a good mood these days because she thought she had developed a good strategy. But it couldn't be realized, and some people were depressed. Zhang Hu was also a little unbearable when he saw Xue Ru's appearance, after all, it was a teenage girl, so he said: "In fact, it shouldn't be difficult to occupy a county town with the ability of a snow fox, the devil may not be able to attack on a large scale, slowly develop, with strength, a little expansion, it is still possible." ”

Xue Ru's heart moved, she thought of a noun "the countryside surrounds the city", how could she forget this, why did she have to seize Hefei? Isn't there a saying that says, "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow to become kings?" "Low-key and low-key, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, yes, it's the right thing to do. Thinking of this, he immediately had his spirit again, stood up and said, "Thank you, Captain Zhang, if the snow fox grows stronger, I will ask you to be a senior counselor." ”

Zhang Hu didn't know what Xue Ru had thought, so that her face, which was still gray just now, immediately radiated, and it seemed that the name of the fox spirit was well deserved. He said, "Can I be a senior staff member for you now?" ”

Xue Ru shook his head: "I can't afford it, you are the colonel, and our captain is the lieutenant colonel." Zhang Hu said: "That's not necessarily, if you add the 137th regiment, it's different." ”

Xue Ru looked at Zhang Hu in a daze for a long time, and felt that he seemed to have something to say, so he said: "Head Zhang has something to say, Xue Ru is a person who can't play tricks." ”

Zhang Hu almost let Xue Ru lie down, she is still a scheming person? Are there still smart people? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xue Ru was interesting, how could what happened in Chao County not make him clear, and he immediately understood why with his mind? Xue Ru is smart, it seems that he is still young, and he doesn't understand the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the national army, so he can't be promoted. With her combat exploits and ability, how can she just command a brigade or a division, so she said: "Zhang just reminded Miss Xue that He Guozhen is Tang Shengzhi's nephew, it seems that there is a problem between you, right?" I heard that Tang Shengzhi is no longer the training director, and the reason I think Miss Xue understands. ”

Xue Ru suddenly realized these words, so it turned out, he never figured out why Xu Jiwu and He Guozhen treated Snow Fox so much, because the two sides did not know each other, and there were no grievances, why is this? Here's the problem. What he did in Nanjing made Tang Shengzhi unable to come to Taiwan, and the subsequent blocking operation, the incompetence of Tang Shengzhi's retreat plan, with Xiao Shanling's entry into Wuhan, plus Wang Yaowu and Song Xilian, how could the news not go out?

Tang Shengzhi announced at the meeting that it was the chairman's retreat order, not that he was going to retreat, which undoubtedly slapped Chiang Kai-shek in the face, and he could have ended well? He Guozhen is his nephew, of course, to avenge his uncle.

Thinking about this, Xue Ru was angry, announced personal vendettas, regardless of the overall situation, and prevented the snow fox from entering the city, did such people still expect to support each other in the battle? No wonder Zhang Hu didn't want to help himself, he offended the chief of staff of the division, how could there be good fruit to eat?

The resentment against He Guozhen was also said with dissatisfaction with Xu Jiwu. Xue Ru sneered: "Thank you Captain Zhang for reminding me, I have written down this situation, but there is something I want to ask Captain Zhang for help." ”

Zhang Hu is also at odds with He Guozhen, with Zhang Hu's mind, if someone hadn't stopped him, would he still be a regiment leader? was promoted to brigade commander early, but it is not good to have brains and military acumen, and his background is also very important, so of course Zhang Hu, who is a little arrogant, is not welcomed.

The rest of the troops were in the back, and his regiment was placed in this position, directly facing the Japanese troops, and it could be seen. With this opportunity to give the news to Xue Ru, Zhang Hu didn't mind building a strong enemy for He Guozhen.

Xue Ru is young and a woman, but she is as cunning as a fox, and offending her is not necessarily a good thing. Seeing that his goal was achieved, he said: "I just look at Laiqi, admire Miss Xue's military talent, and resentment towards this kind of villain, Miss Xue is not polite, the backstage forces are very important." ”

This sentence reminded Xue Ru that he had a good reputation and Xue Yue's support, but since he started fighting Nanjing, he no longer contacted Xue Yue, especially since he did not go to Ningguo but crossed the river to the north, and he did not contact Xue Yue. Later, he was obviously transferred to the first war zone, but he still had no contact, but did things according to his own will. It looks like I'm really bad. Nodding and said, "Xue Ru understands, thank you Captain Zhang, I know what to do." ”

Zhang Hu said: "Didn't you ask me to help? Tell me something. ”

Xue Ru said: "We have different ways of fighting, so we need some pistol bullets, but the captured are all Japanese rifle bullets, see if you can help me change them?" ”

Zhang Hu shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not easy to do, our national army has very few pistol bullets, and the rifle is officially not a Japanese 38 rifle, so it can't be exchanged, but I can find a way to buy some for you." ”

"Buy some? Where to buy? Xue Ru asked.

Zhang Hu smiled: "Most of China's pistols are Mauser pistols, and some militia groups and landlords' bandits, most of them use seed guns. Where did their bullets come from, of course, they were bought, but the purchase channels were different. Besides, there are factories in the country that also produce such bombs, on the condition that you have money. ”

Xue Ru shook his head and said, "I really don't have any money, I'm not a warlord, and I don't have my own territory, where did I get the money?" ”

Zhang Hu said impatiently: "It seems that Miss Xue is just smart, but she knows little, you have a lot of valuable things, but you just don't know." ”

Xue Ru looked at Zhang Hu strangely, she did have a lot of valuable things in her hands, of course, the gold, silver and jewelry that Snow Fox got when he was cleaning up traitors from various places, and some strange calligraphy and paintings. If it is sold for money, it is also a huge amount of money, but it is what Xue Ru is going to use to buy arms, and he asked Zhang Donglin to contact the United States, it is not as simple as buying some bullets and guns, it requires a lot of money, but how does Zhang Hu know about this thing?

Xue Ru didn't want to admit that although he was robbing a traitor, it was not a good means. It stands to reason that confiscation of Japanese counterfeit property must be handed over to the state treasury, and it is also a crime to be corrupt and confiscated privately. I had to shake my head and say, "I have something valuable, why don't I know?" ”

Zhang Hu said: "Miss Xue, don't you have a large number of Japanese weapons and equipment in your hands? That's money, huh? ”

This time, Xue Ru was stunned: "Didn't you say that those weapons and ammunition can't be used by the national army?" Sold to the New Fourth Army of the Chinese Communist Party, they don't seem to have any money, right? ”

Zhang Hu said: "Let me tell you clearly, of course it is not sold to the New Fourth Army, if that is the case, I think the Political Department will come to check you." Although the KMT and the CCP cooperate, there are some things you should also understand, don't get too close to the CCP, that will be bad for you. Instead, there are many generals of the national army who want to buy weapons and ammunition for the Japanese army. ”

Xue Ru knew what was going on with the CCP, so he asked Sun Zheng to study with the New Fourth Army and not make it public, and Tan Feng came to her, also in civilian clothes, and he had to study the exchange location. But why did the national army spend money to buy it? Puzzled, he asked, "Why?" ”

Zhang Hu said: "Every time I fight with the Japanese army, the casualties are so big, but the results are not, how can I explain to the military committee, can I still be promoted?" If there are captured trophies, then it will be different, whatever you want, so the Japanese weapons are still very valuable. I saw that you brought a lot of weapons and ammunition, and I thought that you wanted to change your outfit, but you didn't need it, so you sold it, and you just bought bullets? ”

Xue Ru now completely understands what corruption is and what darkness is, this is. No wonder you can't beat the ghost, it's really sad! sighed in his heart and was happy at the same time, he didn't just have this in his hand, because there were too many, the snow fox couldn't take it away, but buried a large number of seizures on the spot. The people around him want to exchange bullets with the New Fourth Army, and emotionally, Xue Ru is still inclined to the New Fourth Army. Knowing that they have few weapons and ammunition, why they offer such generous conditions for exchange, in fact, it is better to give them away for nothing.

It was because he was too generous that Gao Jingting and Li Weixian were very interested, and they did not hesitate to report to the military headquarters and transfer pistol ammunition from other troops. A mortar and a light machine gun, a heavy machine gun are too important for the Eighth Route Army in North China, pistol shells are nothing.

Zhang Yunyi and the others were discussing with the direction of Yan'an to concentrate bullets from the North China station to the four detachments to exchange with Xue Ru. The guerrillas entering North China behind enemy lines developed rapidly and needed weapons and ammunition.

If you can get money, just bury those and take them out, Zhang Hu's words opened another channel for Xue Ru, if you have money, not only can you buy Mauser bullets, if Zhang Donglin contacts it, then you can buy M1911 pistols, and the melee Mauser box gun is still too bulky.

Hearing this news, Xue Ru's face was about to burst into laughter, what are you afraid of, if you don't go to the Japanese to rob it, you will attack the devil's baggage team and arsenal in the future. said happily: "I don't know, there is no way, how about this matter to trouble Head Zhang, if it is sold at a good price, I will give you a commission." ”

Who doesn't love money? Zhang Hu is also a human being, but he didn't expect Xue Ru to be so open-minded, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you, money, it's a little meaning." ”

Seeing Zhang Hu's promise, Xue Ru said happily: "Okay, I'll send someone to discuss with you, I'm going back, and discuss with my subordinates how to get more seizures in the hands of devils." ”

Zhang Hu felt strange about Xue Ru's words so easily: "The Japanese are papier-mâché, and the Snow Fox Brigade will capture it if they want to."

However, Xue Ru had a strategic goal, and he was very excited to return and find Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen to study them.
