When he returned to the military headquarters, Wang Haitao immediately summoned all officers above the regiment level for a meeting. After everyone arrived, Wang Haitao said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows what has happened in the past few days, we are fighting with little Japan on the front line, but the people of the Military Command Bureau are stabbing us in the back, how can we fight this battle? Today I saved Tang Yifeng and them, and I deeply offended the Military Command Bureau, and the Military Command Bureau will definitely not let us go, what should we do?"

Speaking of this, Wang Haitao glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he continued: "We are faced with two choices, the first is that I personally go to Chongqing to confess my mistake to the Military Unification Bureau, and then let them come for interrogation. The second is that we withdraw to Longzhou, even if we tear our faces with Chongqing, we will not be affected by this nest. Let's choose where to go!"

As soon as Wang Haitao finished speaking, the nest exploded at the bottom, and everyone shouted: "Junzao, we are against the damn, how can we not bear this nest." Wang Haitao waited for a while before raising his hand to quiet everyone down, and then said: "Everyone, my idea is to leave here and go back to Longzhou, as long as we go back to Longzhou, no one will take us." Wang Haitao's words were unanimously agreed by everyone.

The next thing is that the whole army is ready to withdraw to Longzhou, and it is not so easy for an army to withdraw, first of all, it must get the consent of the ninth theater, and then it must change guards with the troops who received Yueyang City, so that they can leave normally, otherwise they will escape from the battle. Wang Haitao didn't want to bear the charge of desertion, so Wang Haitao asked Su Zuxin and Tang Renxin to discuss a solution.

Two days later, Longzhou sent an urgent telegram, saying that the Japanese Southern Front Army had mobilized three divisions and two independent mixed brigades to attack Guangxi from the direction of Vietnam, and that Longzhou was the first target of the Japanese army, and now the troops remaining in Longzhou were blocking the Japanese attack, but the troops were too small, and asked the main force of the 90th Army to return to Longzhou. Wang Haitao took this urgent telegram and found Wu Yizhi, the chief of staff of the Ninth War Zone, who remained in Yueyang City.

After Huang Kangyong and other military commanders were driven out of Yueyang City, Zhang Rende also found an excuse to go back to Chongqing, but Wu Yizhi was unwilling to go with them and stayed in the name of inspecting the front line. At this time, Wang Haitao came to the door, Wu Yizhi read the telegram, and understood what was going on, but still said: "Commander Wang, this matter is related to the overall situation, I can't be the master of such a major matter, I will immediately rush to Changsha and report to Commander Xue, so that Commander Xue can decide." ”

Wang Haitao couldn't object, so he could only ask Wu Yizhi to rush to Changsha City immediately. As soon as Wu Yizhi left, Wang Haitao ordered the 210th Division and the Armored Brigade to escort the logistics department and the heavy artillery brigade back to Longzhou, leaving only the 90th Division and the guard brigade in Yueyang City. As for the recruits who have just been recruited, those who are willing to follow the troops to Longzhou are welcome! Those who do not want to go to Longzhou are welcome to stay and transfer to the receiving troops, and those who want to go home will be given a month's military salary and two pieces of Great Ocean Road fare.

Xue Yue also heard about Wang Haitao's 90th Army, and after listening to Wu Yizhi's detailed report, he also felt that Wang Haitao and the 90th Army were not worth it. Now the Ninety Army is determined to leave, although Xue Yue feels a pity, but he also knows that he can't keep it, rather than breaking up unhappily, it is better to be a favor, let them go, and see each other in the future. So Xue Yue urgently transferred Huang Wei's 18th Army to take over Yueyang City, and transferred the 54th Army to take over Tonggu Town.

One day later, Huang Wei led the 18th Army to Yueyang City, and Wang Haitao hosted a banquet to entertain Huang Wei and other generals of the 18th Army. Although Huang Wei was also upset about Wang Haitao at the wine table, he insisted that Wang Haitao should not be so picky. Faced with the accusations of an orthodox soldier like Huang Wei, Wang Haitao could only smile bitterly. And Chongqing also quarreled because of Wang Haitao and the 90th Army.

When Huang Kangyong returned to Chongqing, he immediately asked to see Director Dai Li, and the report made Dai Li's heart angry. Among the generals of the national army, no one dares to give the Military Command Bureau such a refusal to give him a face. But the gloomy Dai Li didn't show anything, and comforted Huang Kangyong a few words before letting him go down. As soon as Huang Kangyong left, Dai Li immediately drove to Lao Jiang to ask to see Lao Jiang.

Seeing Lao Jiang, Dai Li put all the penicillin secrets on Wang Haitao's head, and then reported to Wang Haitao to prevent the people he sent from reviewing the matter. After Dai Li's report, Lao Jiang scolded a few words in a row: "Niang Xipi!" and then Lao Jiang called Chen Cheng over. As soon as he saw Chen Cheng, Lao Jiang asked, "Rhetoric, do you know that Wang Haitao under you?"

Hearing Lao Jiang's unkind tone, Chen Cheng was also startled. Chen Cheng had also heard about Wang Haitao, but Chen Cheng always thought that it was all chasing after the wind and shadows, and there would be no such thing. Now Chen Cheng glanced at Dai Li, who was beside Lao Jiang, and said to Lao Jiang: "Chairman, is there any evidence that Wang Haitao is in the Communist Party?" ”

Dai Li told Chen Cheng about what happened recently. After listening to this, Chen Cheng said: "Director Dai, without real evidence, your people went to question a general of the national army who had made countless meritorious contributions, a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, and also arrested his subordinates. You must know that Yueyang City is the front line, and if Wang Haitao lets your men arrest his men casually without evidence, how will this soldier be brought? How will this battle be fought? If little Japan is given the opportunity to counterattack Yueyang City, who will you let go up?"

Chen Cheng's words made Dai Li almost speechless, and Lao Jiang's face softened a little, Dai Li said at this time: "Then Wang Haitao can't fail to obey military orders, right? Chen Cheng smiled and asked, "Is Wang Haitao your military commander?" Dai Li reacted at once and didn't speak for a long time. Chen Cheng said: "Since Wang Haitao is not a member of the military command, what should he obey the orders of your military commander?

The two quarreled for a long time, and Lao Jiang said: "Okay, although I didn't catch the evidence of Wang Haitao's collusion this time, this Wang Haitao is also self-sustaining and has strong troops, and if he doesn't put the central government in his eyes, such a person can no longer be used." Rhetorically, you have to find a way to separate this ninety army and weaken the strength of this Wang Haitao. Chen Cheng was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Lao Jiang's meaning verbally, so he could only come down first.

At this time, Wang Haitao had already handed over the city defense of Yueyang City with the 18th Army, led the 90th Division and the Guard Brigade, converged the 211th Division, and drove to Longzhou together. It's just that Wang Haitao's behavior once again angered Lao Jiang, and under the instruction of Lao Jiang, Wang Haitao did not return to Longzhou, and a military order from the Ministry of Military Affairs had been passed to Longzhou City, and at the same time, there was another person waiting for Wang Haitao in Longzhou City.

After walking on the road for more than 20 days, Wang Haitao led all the 90th Army back to Longzhou. Before they could catch their breath, Tang Renli and Zhao Zhongwu came to Wang Haitao with a telegram. This was a military order issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs, which ordered the 90th Army to retain the 90th and 93rd divisions and the establishment of the guard brigade. The 210th Division was reorganized into the 18th Army, the 211th Division was reorganized into the 54th Army, and the Heavy Artillery Brigade transferred two heavy artillery regiments to form the Independent Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade under the direct command of the Central Committee. All units are to report to the military headquarters of the armed forces within 30 days.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Haitao smiled contemptuously and tore the telegram to pieces. Then he said: "If you want to dismantle my 90th Army, you have to ask me if I will agree!" Director Tang replied to Chongqing, saying that because the Japanese army had invaded from Vietnam, several divisions had all gone to the front line, and the various divisions would be rebuilt after the Japanese army had been defeated. Tang Renli agreed, turned around and called back.

At this time, Wang Haitao ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and the reconnaissance brigade was responsible for eliminating the people of the military commanders inside and outside the city, and if there were any resistors, they would be punished on the spot in the name of Japanese spies and traitors. When he arrived in Longzhou City, Wang Haitao was no longer afraid of what Chongqing would do to him, and when he counterattacked, Chongqing would not risk sending troops to attack him, and besides, if he wanted to send troops, how many troops could Chongqing send out? The combat effectiveness of the 90 th Army was not blown out.

Wang Haitao's reply made Lao Jiang vomit blood angrily, and called Chen Cheng to reprimand him, which made Chen Cheng's heart full of grievances. But Lao Jiang really had no choice but to take Wang Haitao and the Ninety Army, so he had no choice but to give up. After dealing with Chongqing, Wang Haitao just wanted to go home to have a look, and someone came to report that someone outside the military headquarters claimed to be an old friend of Junzuo and wanted to see Junzao.

Wang Haitao didn't know who it was, so he asked the guards to invite people in to take a look, and he almost didn't jump up, but the person who came was Wang Weikuan, his grandfather before he crossed. Wang Haitao hurriedly took Wang Weikuan and called Longzi to go home together. The family had already prepared a banquet, and Tang Lao, Feng Gu, as well as his precious son Zhan Sheng and Tian Yu's family were waiting for him to come back. In everyone's anxious waiting, Wang Haitao and his entourage finally entered the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Longzai didn't even say hello to Tang Lao and went straight to Tian Yu, and the angry Tang Lao couldn't help but mutter: "I don't even want Lao Tzu with a daughter-in-law!" or Wang Haitao kicked Long Tsai in the past, Tang Longzai reacted, and hurriedly came over to salute Tang Lao and Feng Gu, it must be the father, Donald was angry, but he couldn't help but be happy when he saw his son return unharmed.

The excitement of the family meeting put Wang Weikuan aside, and Wang Weikuan, who knew that family affection was valuable, did not care, but took the initiative to find Donald and made a noise. After the enthusiasm was a sumptuous sprinkle feast, Donald was happy, drank a few more glasses, when the banquet ended, he was already a little drunk, Feng Gu took the initiative to help Donald go back to the room, and Long Tsai had already helped Tian Yu with a big belly to return to the room.

Wang Haitao invited Wang Weikuan to the study, and after the servant brought tea and retreated, the two began to talk in detail. Wang Weikuan has been appointed as the deputy director of the General Affairs Department of the Eighth Route Army at this time, mainly in charge of medical and health care, this time I came to formally apologize on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for the trouble caused to Wang Haitao by the discovery of penicillin production by the Kuomintang military commanders, and also hope that Wang Haitao can go to Yan'an and his party at the right time.

The CCP is bent on letting Wang Haitao and his troops join, which Wang Haitao knows very well in his heart, under the blow of Lao Jiang, Wang Haitao also has the idea of defecting to the CCP, but thinking of those movements of the CCP in history, Wang Haitao retreated. Now Wang Haitao is also hesitant in his heart. Wang Haitao's psychology Wang Weikuan was very clear, he knew that it was not an urgent matter, so he just explained his intentions and stopped chasing them deeply.
