Regarding Su Zuxin's question, Wang Haitao didn't know how to answer for a while. Seeing that Wang Haitao was silent, the room was quiet. Wang Haitao was not thinking about whether he could stand the discipline of the Chinese Communists, but about whether his main army, which had extremely strong combat effectiveness, would arouse the suspicion of the Chinese Communists if they were all thrown to the side of the Chinese Communists.

In addition, in the 18th Group Army, only the commander-in-chief, General Zhu De, has the rank of general, and the rest are lieutenant generals or major generals. His own 90th Army, no matter how to say, also has two generals and five or six lieutenant generals, and I am afraid that in the past, it will be suspected of taking the lead from the guests, and it will arouse suspicion within the CCP, which is not good. In addition, if the Chinese Communists want to split up their own troops, what will they do? Do they not agree? In that case, I am afraid that the Chinese Communists will not be able to tolerate themselves, so it is better not to leave now.

Wang Haitao was thinking deeply, and the people in the room were only looking forward to Wang Haitao, so they were all quietly waiting for him to make a decision. After a while, Tang Renli spoke, and he said: "Junzuo, none of us know what's going on with the CCP, Junzuo might as well send someone over to take a look first, talk to the CCP side by the way, and then see what their attitude is, and then we will discuss the next move after we come back." ”

Tang Renli's words were obviously said after some thought, and these words were supported by everyone in the room, and Wang Haitao couldn't help but feel a little moved. The only person who can go to the CCP side and talk to the CCP leadership is himself, but the road from Longzhou to Yan'an will take a month, and it may take three months to go back and forth.

Wang Haitao hesitated for a moment and said: "I'll think about this matter again, now what you have to do is to seize the time to rest, I want to see these divisions return to the strongest state in a short period of time, you must understand that no matter where we go, our own strength is the most important, only with strength can we have the right to speak, and no one will take us seriously without strength." The battle losses of several divisions on this expedition were replenished by the supplementary divisions, and the vacancies of the supplementary divisions were re-recruited, and this matter was handled by Tang Renxin and Zhao Zhongwu, the two deputy army commanders. ”

After Tang Renxin agreed, Wang Haitao told him to do a good job of Wei Hai, the head of the external division, and not to let Wei Hai have any bad thoughts or emotions. Tang Renxin replied: "Don't worry, Wei Hai, I can still handle it." Wang Haitao knew that Wei Hai would not give face to his old boss, so Tang Renxin should not have much problem doing this.

When Wang Haitao returned home, the family and Wang Weikuan were waiting for him. After dinner, Wang Weikuan said: "Brother Haitao, my mission to Longzhou this time has been completed, and I am going to go back to Yan'an tomorrow, there are still many things waiting for me there." As for what to do with the 90th Army, Brother Haitao might as well think about it seriously, but the CCP welcomes Brother Haitao to join at any time. ”

As soon as Wang Haitao heard that Wang Weikuan was leaving, he hurriedly said: "Brother Wang is in such a hurry to rush back? Why don't you stay for a few more days?" Wang Weikuan smiled and said: "My task has been completed, it's okay to stay here longer, there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home, there is no banquet in the world, we will meet again soon." ”

Wang Haitao saw that Wang Weikuan was really anxious to leave, so he said: "Brother Wang, you stay for three more days, how about I give you an answer in three days?" Wang Weikuan saw that there was a door, and he was also a little excited, and said: "Okay, I will stay for three more days, and after three days, I will wait for Brother Haitao to give me an answer." Going to bed at night, Wang Haitao couldn't sleep, and Aunt Feng next to him asked a little strangely: "Brother Haitao, why do you have something on your mind today?"

Wang Haitao was looking for someone to talk to, so he told Aunt Feng about the day's events. In the end, Wang Haitao asked: "Aunt Feng, what do you say I should do?" Aunt Feng thought for a while and replied: "Brother Haitao, what you said is a big deal, I am a woman who is not good at talking nonsense, but I understand that no matter how Brother Haitao chooses, I will support you and follow you." And Longzhou is our home, our roots are here, and we can't lose our home no matter what. ”

Aunt Feng's words made Wang Haitao even more unable to sleep, so Aunt Feng said again: "Brother Haitao, I think Brother Renli's words have some truth, if you can't take it, it's better to take a look." What you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears will be the most real, I think Brother Haitao has seen it, and he will have an idea in his heart. Wang Haitao asked, "Why do you also support me to go over there to have a look?" Feng Gu nodded and said: "Brother Haitao is a person who does great things, I believe that the people of the Tang family will support Brother Haitao." ”

Feng Gu's words were like a bolt of lightning slashing through Wang Haitao's heart, yes, from the beginning, the Tang family has been supporting themselves unconditionally, shouldn't I strive for a better future for them? I know that the CCP will win the world in the future, so why not throw myself into the CCP now, fight for the Tang family, and those brothers who followed their birth and death? As for the movements that I am afraid of, I don't know if they will change because of their arrival, so it's too early to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Wang Haitao decided in his heart that he wanted to go to Yan'an once, and there were many things that still needed to be discussed with the leadership of the CCP in person. With a decision, Wang Haitao slept with peace of mind. The next morning, Wang Haitao came to the military headquarters and called several of his chief officers together, and after everyone arrived, Wang Haitao said: "Everyone, I thought about it all night last night and decided to go to the CCP to take a look in person, and our future actions will be decided after I come back." ”

Wang Haitao's words are an order in the 90th Army, although everyone doesn't want Wang Haitao to go this trip in person, but looking at Wang Haitao's resolute expression, everyone knows that Wang Haitao has made a decision, and no one can change it. Then Wang Haitao began to arrange the tasks of the troops in these months. The first is that Su Zuxin wants to go to Nanning and wants to be stationed in Pingxiang Town. With the right to garrison Pingxiang Town, the 93rd Division was immediately stationed in Pingxiang Town. Overhaul the fortifications, but also from time to time to stimulate the Japanese troops stationed in Vietnam.

Second, the reconnaissance brigade immediately sent a reconnaissance group deep into Vietnam to obtain information on the number of Japanese troops stationed in Vietnam, the number of troops, and the firepower equipment, and so on, as detailed as possible. Third, if the Vietnamese Japanese army really dared to attack, then Pingxiang Town must be held, and the Japanese army must not be allowed to step into Guangxi. Fourth, Tang Renli should pay more attention to the production of the arsenal and find ways to get more raw materials for the arsenal to ensure the production of the arsenal.

In the end, Wang Haitao confessed that during his absence from Longzhou, Tang Renxin and Su Zuxin were responsible for all military matters, of which Tang Renxin was the main and Su Zuxin was the auxiliary. Tang Renli is responsible for all other matters. The security forces and police forces established in the former Longzhou City were managed by Tang Renli and did not participate in military operations against Japan.

Now Wang Haitao is equivalent to handing over the entire Longzhou City and the 90th Army to the two brothers Kang Renli and Tang Renxin, which is an absolute trust. It is the trust that comes from years of living and dying together is better than that of a brother. Wang Haitao is convinced that the two brothers will not live up to their unreserved trust. After explaining the affairs of the troops, Wang Haitao began to prepare for this northward trip.

This time there could not be too many people accompanying him, Wang Haitao decided to take a guard company and a reconnaissance company to go, and then Tangshan Leopard and Tang Xiaoshan were busy, and the two carefully selected a company of soldiers from the guard brigade and the reconnaissance brigade respectively to serve as Wang Haitao's escort. These two companies can be described as the elite of the elite. At the same time, the best weapons and equipment from the two brigades were selected and handed over to the fighters of the two companies.

And Wang Haitao is preparing various gifts for this trip. Knowing that most of the leaders of the CCP smoked, Wang Haitao went to the market to almost sweep away the highest-grade cigarettes, as well as all kinds of food, military supplies, and even Guangxi's unique chili products. However, the main thing is still the munitions, considering the problem of supply, Wang Haitao only prepared a battalion of new firearms, but the ammunition was very sufficient, in addition to 50 mortars of various calibers, each with 200 shells. The most important thing was to bring 50 brand-new German 75-caliber field guns copied by the arsenal, each equipped with 500 shells.

This time, Wang Haitao took away half of Tang Renli's inventory, which made Tang Renli secretly feel heartbroken for a long time. This is not over, Wang Haitao went to the army again, and put five Beijing Type 212 military command vehicles into storage and quits, so he was satisfied. All the preparations went on for two days, and on the evening of the second day, Wang Haitao returned home and invited Wang Weikuan to the study.

After entering the door, Wang Haitao said: "Brother Wang, I have discussed with my brothers, and these brothers under my command still don't know about your CCP, so for the time being, my 90th Army will still maintain the status quo." Wang Weikuan's heart was half cold when he heard this, but he couldn't say much, so he could only say: "Brother Haitao, I can understand this, our CCP will not force anyone to do what he does not want to do." ”

Wang Haitao smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, listen to me." But my brethren agreed to send someone to you first, to get to know you well. Wang Weikuan saw that the peak was turning around, and he also became happy and said: "Welcome, welcome, on behalf of the Chinese Communists, I welcome friends from the 90th Army to visit." I don't know who is going, but you can go with me. ”

Wang Haitao smiled again and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, the person who is going is my little brother." Wang Weikuan jumped up and said with a smile: "Okay, you Haitao brother, you actually teased your eldest brother." But Brother Haitao can go in person, I can't ask for it, big brother! I wonder when Brother Haitao can leave?" Wang Haitao replied: "I am ready, I can leave early tomorrow morning, but I have to entrust Brother Wang on the way, and I took out a military uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the national army."
