Chapter 108: Where to go

Originally, Xue Ru wanted to have a good year when he got these materials back, after all, from the beginning of the battle to the present, all the personnel of the unit have been in tension, and the fighting has hardly stopped.

It was just the beginning of the 38th year, and it was still early for the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and Xue Ru didn't know which battle, and the soldiers would never see the sun tomorrow. Since you have withdrawn to Chaohu, which is a nationalized area, at least it is safe now, so you can have a good New Year and make the soldiers happy.

But Wu Yuzhao's unhappiness also made her lose interest and mood, and handed over these things to Zhao Wufu and Zhou Yunshan, and never asked again. Three days passed quickly, and neither Xue Ru nor Wu Yuzhao mentioned what they said at that time, so that Xiang Wenbin could put down a little heart, although Xue Ru was extreme, but Wu Yuzhao was a stable person.

Xue Ru didn't care about anything, didn't ask anything, but began to wander around with his four guards.

At this point, no one said about her, and no one cared about her, she was the captain. Besides, the Snow Fox Corps has a clear division of labor, and Xue Ru does not have power. It's not the time to fight, and Wu Yuzhao will deal with general things.

For Wu Yuzhao without asking for instructions or asking, he made his own decisions, and some people were not convinced, but he was the chief of staff, so he had nothing to say.

It's winter, there's nothing to see, Xue Ru seems to be watching everywhere with great interest, but there is no smile on her face.

Xue Ru is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, but the social status she is in makes her not have to think about political issues. However, as the number of Snow Fox corps increases, many problems have arisen.

All of this forced her to think about these questions. It has been more than a month since he arrived in Hexian and Chaohu, but the weapons and equipment in the war zone have not arrived for a long time, and Xue Ru has nothing to do.

Her unit looks very high-level, but it means that there is no superior. Under the command of the war zone, Gu Zhutong did not give any orders to Xue Ru, but only said that he would repair on the spot and be on standby.

There was no place to replenish the losses of the combatants, there was nowhere to ask for weapons and ammunition, and there was no one to even pay military salaries, which made Xue Ru extremely dissatisfied.

If these circumstances didn't happen, she wouldn't have thought of looting Quanjiao. Originally, Wu Yuzhao did not agree to this action, but later that kind of thing happened, so that the conflict between the two escalated.

Xue Ru's words hurt Wu Yuzhao very much, he really wanted to leave at that time, why should he be nosy, but he has his own ambitions and doesn't want to be lonely for a lifetime, Xue Ru has military talents, and he can also make contributions with her, and he can also fight devils to serve the country.

But Xue Ru disappointed him more and more, and always seemed to be dissatisfied with the national government. If you don't pull a relationship and find a backer, who will promote you? Even Xue Yue, who has always valued Xue Ru, stopped talking, the government was watching Xue Ru, but she relied on looting and did not move closer to the government, what is the interest of such a person, it is useless to fight again.

However, Snow Fox was also created by himself, and how many people can listen to Wu Yuzhao know in his heart. Of course, I don't want to walk away.

Three days passed, Xue Ru didn't mention that incident again, Wu Yuzhao's judgment was that he was a child, he was angry and said everything, and he might regret it later, so he didn't say anything.

He didn't want to force Xue Ru away, after all, in terms of military command ability, Xue Ru was indeed not ordinary, with her Wu Yuzhao rising faster, and then with the help of her family. didn't say anything anymore, the two of them did their own thing, but in fact, Xue Ru didn't care about anything.

People who knew a little bit of news were secretly relieved, and the chief of staff had a conflict, making them a little unsure of what to do, whether to follow the chief of staff or the chief of staff, every officer was calculating.

Therefore, a Spring Festival is not as pleasant as expected, and this suppressed anger is very uncomfortable. However, the two of them are like a rivalry, and neither of them talks to anyone.

Xiang Wenbin wanted to talk to Xue Ru, but Xue Ru didn't say anything, and basically couldn't see her, as if he didn't care about the Snow Fox Corps anymore.

In the office of Wu Yuzhao of the headquarters of the corps, Xiang Wenbin said: "Chief of Staff Wu, I think you are going to talk to the captain of the corps?" I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this. ”

Wu Yuzhao smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to talk, it's that she didn't give me a chance to talk at all." ”

Xiang Wenbin was also helpless, he saw a report on the Japanese army's attack on Mingguang and Dingyuan. Liu Shiyi's troops of the 31st Army were fighting, and there was a see-saw phenomenon between the two sides.

At the same time, the Japanese army took advantage of the Spring Festival to start attacking on the second day of the Lunar New Year, capturing Dingyuan and Mingguang in one fell swoop, while the people who were celebrating the New Year were defenseless and suffered huge losses.

If this kind of thing was before, Xue Ru would have been involved a long time ago, but this time, after looking at the information, he didn't say anything.

This is a little strange, Xiang Wenbin only looked for Wu Yuzhao today, Xue Ru's performance is abnormal, how do you see that she is not a willful person, why this time?

Xiang Wenbin studied for a long time, but he didn't understand what Xue Ru thought and what she was going to do.

From Shanghai to Nanjing, from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, has always taken the initiative to undertake, take the initiative to participate in the war, at this time in northern Anhui, the snow fox is completely up to its own decision, although the ammunition supply has not arrived, the snow fox combat effectiveness is not too strong, but it is not a little unable to fight, but from the whole pepper after the battle, there is no movement.

The strategic intention of the Japanese army was obvious, and it wanted to open up the Jinpu Road, so it attacked in the direction of Mingguang and Bengbu, and did not attack in the direction of Hexian and Hanshan. I don't know if I don't want to mess with the snow fox, or I don't dare to mess with it, anyway, Quan Jiao suffered a loss, but he didn't attack the snow fox stationed in He County. The entire wing of the Japanese army moved to Quanjiao, forming a state of surveillance snow fox.

After thinking for a long time, Xiang Wenbin said: "Chief of Staff Wu, I will see if it is to attack Quanjiao, threaten the devil behind, and contain the 9th Division to attack north." The devil is cooperating with Xuzhou to fight, so it's not okay for us to look at it like this? Maybe the captain can have an opinion. ”

Wu Yuzhao understood that Xiang Wenbin just wanted to ease the relationship between him and Xue Ru, in fact, Snow Fox had no ability to attack, although Quanjiao only had one wing, and it was not in Snow Fox's eyes, but he couldn't fight with a bayonet, right?

Wu Yuzhao said: "I understand, you worry about it first during this time, I'll go to Wuhan." ”

Xiang Wenbin was stunned: "What are you doing in Wuhan?" ”

Wu Yuzhao said: "I understand where the captain is dissatisfied, what she is really dissatisfied with is not me, but dissatisfied with the military committee, do you see, the Snow Fox Corps has not had a penny of military pay for three months, and it has been a month since they arrived here, and the weapons and ammunition just don't come, I'm afraid it's not normal, right?" So, I went back to Wuhan once and thought of a way. ”

Xiang Wenbin still didn't understand: "This situation is very common, I turned out to be from the Sichuan Army, and you know what the situation is." I remember the captain saying that she seemed to understand that. In that case, why don't you say it, let's figure it out together, who is this gambling with? ”

Wu Yuzhao shook his head: "Vice Captain Xiang, why did you forget, how old is she?" Seventeen, that's what she said, I think it's good for her to be fifteen. Some children have personalities, and it is understandable that we are adults. ”

Xiang Wenbin also smiled: "It's rare to be Chief of Staff Wu, okay." ”

Wu Yuzhao was actually not sure where Xue Ru was dissatisfied, but he had a way.

Wu Yuzhao did not hesitate, left from Chaoxian County, went directly to Hefei, boarded the ship from Anqing to Hankou, and from there to Wuhan. With his own identity and his father's influence, he can still do it by going to Wuhan to find a way.

He didn't go to the third war zone, because Wu Yuzhao understood where the key was.

All the way, since you want to understand why, many places have also understood, it seems that Quan Jiao's actions, Xue Ru is not only hatred for the Japanese army, but also to vent dissatisfaction with the government. That's why the robbery was carried out with great fanfare, which was used to solve the military expenses of Snow Fox.

But Wu Yuzhao just didn't understand, why didn't Xue Ru say it, everyone found a way, Snow Fox is not her own, she also has a share.

But now I understand why Xue Ru said that he should not be the captain, but that he wanted to divide the troops with himself, and said that the Snow Fox Corps was hers, but he said that the army was the party-state and the national army. It seems that Xue Ru suspected that she had done all this by herself, and began to doubt herself.

Since it is a national army, how can it be convincing to be treated differently? Not to mention an army like Snow Fox.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Yuzhao was also angry, he wanted to control the snow fox, and he wanted him to grow stronger, so he decided to go to Wuhan. I don't want to lose this Snow Fox Corps that can fight, and if I want to change the situation, I can only transfer Snow Fox to myself. This is Wu Yuzhao's opportunity, and his family will definitely support him.

If weapons, ammunition, and food were quickly in place, with the combat effectiveness of Snow Fox, how could Liu Shiyi's 31st Army fight so badly? So passive. Determine what you have in mind and immediately go to Wuhan.

A small restaurant in Chaoxian County that is not too big, on a private seat in a single room, Xue Ru is sitting there in casual clothes, she is also getting used to coming out without a military uniform, a girl who is so small, but she is a colonel in a military uniform, which is easy to recognize.

In fact, Xue Ru has been thinking about it these days, since she appeared on the battlefield of Luodian, she has never had time to think about many problems, and her mind is highly nervous every day, calculating the movements of the Japanese army and recalling the situation on the battlefield. Even the shameless hatred of the Japanese, but also the indignation at the incompetence of the generals of the national army, and the distress because of the huge casualties.

All kinds of moods and thoughts filled her head, how could she have time to think about anything else. The entire temporary army withdrew to Jiangbei and entered Chao County, Xue Ru's mood relaxed, and he really wanted to have a good New Year. But there was no explanation for the Snow Fox Third War Zone, and there was no movement until the Spring Festival, which made Xue Ru start to wonder why this was the case.

It was just because of the matter of Quan Jiao that the fire she pressed in her heart burst out, and she seemed to attach great importance to herself, what is the use of being a colonel and a captain? Xiao Shanling, Song Xilian, and Wang Yaowu generously gave their troops to themselves, which Xue Ru didn't understand at all, and was very grateful to them at first, after all, it was a kind of trust.

However, after a few days, Xue Ru also somewhat understood that she had the same purpose as the tax police corps, which made her feel disgusted. Why did Tian Jiasheng stay alone and not let him join the special combat team, that is, Xue Ru understood Sun Liren's thoughts at the beginning, it turned out that these generals of the national army were just using themselves.

This made Xue Ru's heart very uncomfortable, and even thought that Wu Yuzhao and Lan Xun Zhouquan were sent by Xue Yue, and they were so hard in Nanjing, and Xue Yue was in Tunxi, but they didn't say anything.

Xue Ru suddenly turned into Jiangbei and did not move closer to the Huangshan area, and it cannot be said that Xue Ru was dissatisfied with Xue Yue, after all, Wu Yuzhao was Xue Yue's person.

Thinking about it carefully, Xue Ru doesn't seem to blame Xue Yue, who is he? Why do you care about yourself, besides, I don't seem to listen to others.

Without the support of the military committee, with Xue Ru's current ability, she is indeed unable to support a force of more than 8,000 people. Therefore, after falling out with Wu Yuzhao, Xue Ru doesn't care about anything these days, she just wants to calm down and think about what she should do? This thought is disorganized, complicated, unclear at all, inconsistent, as if what to do is a problem.

Originally, he wanted Wu Yuzhao to compete with himself, and he had the purpose of controlling this army, so he took this opportunity to give him the headquarters and bring some people who were willing to follow him, and approached the enemy-occupied area. However, Wu Yuzhao didn't say anything more, it was still the same as before, which made Xue Ru unable to speak.

She also saw that Wu Yuzhao wanted to talk to herself several times, but Xue Ru didn't think about what to do, so she didn't want to talk, so she found a reason to avoid it.

In fact, Wu Yuzhao only guessed half right, Xue Ru was indeed disappointed in Chiang Kai-shek of the Nationalist Government, but she came through time, knew the actual situation, and also knew the trend of history, so she would not be too angry, but very disappointed.

It is because she knows what the war will go through in the next few years, so she has to think about what she should do. Is it to hide in the rear and wait until the counteroffensive begins? Or go deep behind enemy lines and carve out your own base areas? Is it to follow the Kuomintang wholeheartedly, or to establish itself as the king of the separatist side, or to take people to the Communist Party?

But all three of these are what Xue Ru is unwilling to do, and none of them is an easy way to go, so she can't make up her mind at all, and she is in a dilemma.

Xue Ru was also not interested in the Japanese army's attack on Bengbu and the battle with Liu Shiyi's troops in the north. Besides, the defeat of Xuzhou is not a problem, even if you block the 9th Division? Can the 13th Division be held back again? Can you still block the 5th Division in the Shandong direction and the 10th Division in the north? Xuzhou is nothing but the second Shanghai and the second Nanjing. She fought in Shanghai because there was no way, and Nanjing didn't want to see the massacre appear.

Xuzhou finally retreated safely, and there is nothing to worry about, besides, the victory of Taierzhuang is a big victory, and at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties, it is also a big victory to eliminate more than 10,000 Japanese troops? Today, there are more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers killed and wounded in the hands of Snow Fox, but they are only a few thousand people in a general team. The more she knew, the more disdainful Xue Ru became.

Because it was difficult to make a decision in his heart, he lost interest in blocking the Japanese 9th Division and assisting the 31st Army. But Wu Yuzhao and Xiang Wenbin didn't know all this, so they felt strange.

Because of those judgments, Wu Yuzhao decided to go to Wuhan and use his family's strength to solve the problem of snow fox's weapons and ammunition, he didn't want to watch the snow fox decline.

Wu Yuzhao thought that Xue Ru was not satisfied with him and wanted to talk about it after he finished, so he didn't say hello and left directly.

Today, Xue Ru came out by herself, changed into civilian clothes, and walked towards the commercial street in Chaoxian County without bringing anyone. Li Wenxiu was very worried about this, but Xue Ru said that he wanted to be quiet, and few people in Chao County knew him.

Dressed in a tweed coat and long high-heeled leather shoes, she looks like a rich woman. Xue Ru's age, if she is dressed in a student outfit, she can be a student, what danger is there?

After walking to this place, I was a little tired, so I came in and sat down for a while. It's quiet, it's not time to eat, and there's basically no one there. For such a little girl to go down to the hotel by herself, the boss and Xiao Er felt strange, but they didn't dare to ask more when they saw that they were rich.

Xue Ru was also here thinking about her own affairs alone, and when she was a little bored and wanted to leave, she suddenly heard a commotion outside, and a voice shouted: "Boss, hurry up and serve wine and food, Lao Tzu has something urgent." ”

There seemed to be several people, and the voice was very loud, and the shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, it seemed that they were either doing rough work or a group of soldiers. Suddenly, I heard a person say: "You light, Lao Tzu is injured, don't you know?" ”
