Chapter 720: Finally the Wuzhi-9 is here
In a corner of the press hall, Yang Liren blocked Yang Liqing again.
Yang Liqing: "Why are you so close to me? Aren't you afraid that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will punish you for collaborating with the Communists?"
Yang Liren: "Once you become the one who makes the rules, no one can sanction you."
Yang Liqing curled his lips and thought to himself, "Just keep bragging."
It’s true that no one dares to touch you now, but it’s still too early for you to make rules.
Yang Liren found his younger brother because he really had something to say.
It's frustrating to say, because he can't speak his mind to anyone in his own camp.
Sometimes Yang Liren even felt that chatting with Yang Liqing, a Communist, was a good choice.
This was not a place for a long chat, so he stopped talking and directly expressed his doubts.
"Li Qing, do you feel something strange about this battle?
The fighting style of the Ninth War Zone this time is different from the past.
The general policy of luring the enemy deep into our territory has not changed, but the tactics are much more flexible than before.
Not only did they use a large amount of explosives, but the use of artillery also increased exponentially.
Another point is that we suffered 20,000 casualties and nearly 80,000 Japanese soldiers died, but there were only three prisoners?
So similar..."
Yang Liqing: "What do you think it resembles? Similar to the tactics of the Gannan gang? Or similar to Song Wenwan's methods?
Everyone knows that Song Wenwan played a great role in the Xiangbei battle.
Not only did he send two militia divisions, he also secretly entered Xiangbei to participate in the war.
They also provided a lot of weapons and equipment, and even combat guidance, and served as a staff officer for the various units of the National Army."
Yang Liren: "You are well-informed. I didn't expect that even people from your Office 8 knew about these things."
Yang Liqing: “From what I learned this morning, your intelligence system is a sieve.
Fortunately, the Ninth War Zone did not report it in advance, otherwise the Japanese would have discovered it long ago."
Yang Liren did not stay on this topic and continued talking.
Song Wenwan sent people to fight in northern Hunan, and the commander of the war zone had already reported to the attendant room in advance.
It’s just that the confidentiality work was done well this time, so it was not leaked in advance.
Yang Liren: "You said that the Gannan coalition has become too powerful to be eliminated.
You said that after we drive away the Japanese, do we still want to divide the world into three parts?"
Yang Liqing: Even if you are my biological brother, you can't ask me so bluntly, right?
Would I tell you that I was the first principal of Gannan Military Academy?
I happened to see the head of Office 8, who was about to leave the meeting place.
Yang Liqing: "How can I know this? How about I ask my leader for you?"
Yang Liren was helpless. Since the head of Office 8 had already noticed them, he could only let Yang Liqing go back.
Seeing that Yang Liqing had walked away, Chu Cai came over to ask him.
"Liren, what's going on? Did you find out anything from your brother?"
Yang Liren smiled bitterly and said, "Among us, no one in the Yang family is an honest person."
Chu Cai also smiled bitterly and said, "Liren, do you think the world will be divided into three parts in the future?"
Yang Liren: "How do you think it will be divided? We and the CCP are separated by the Yellow River, and Song Wenwan has exclusive control over the northwest?
Let’s not talk about whether the higher-ups and the CCP are willing or not, let’s just talk about Song Wenwan!
Would he be willing to give up the rich coastal areas and be content to stay in the barren northwest and starve to death?"
After hearing Yang Liren's analysis, both of them felt deeply powerless.
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The joy of the Xiangbei battle just now was blown away in an instant.
Life in the temporary capital was so lively and bustling.
The Temporary Capital Secretariat relied on Xiangbei's big victory and the outstanding performance of the Ninth War Zone.
They finally got a lot of aid from the United States.
Of course, all this aid to the temporary capital was squeezed out by America from the British.
The British in Burma were furious about this and kept making various protests to the White House of America.
However, this aid was not given for free. In March 1942, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was established and entered Burma to fight against Japan.
However, the command of this force remained in Stilwell's hands, which made the Military Affairs Office very angry.
Therefore, the Military Secretariat of the Provisional Capital also rejected the request made by General Stilwell.
The 73rd Army and the 99th Army of the 9th War Zone were not allowed to join the Expeditionary Force to fight in Burma.
Isn't this nonsense? The Ninth War Zone is the gateway to the secondary capital.
You asked me to send the two most capable military groups from the Ninth War Zone to Burma. If my companions are lost, who will be responsible?
In addition, the current 73rd Army is extremely powerful.
The 73rd Army, which originally had less than 20,000 troops, had grown to over 50,000 in just two months.
They are now the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone and his beloved treasures.
He could not let go of this army no matter who wanted it. Whether Anan could resist Hankou or not depended on the 73rd Army.
Song Wenwan returned to the Longshui base as early as after the 1st and 4th militia divisions returned to the Jiangnan war zone.
You know, he will be very busy with the next work.
By February, he will prepare for the disaster victims to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
As long as this year's Spring Festival is spent well, the disaster victims who came to the northwest in the past two years will feel happy to be home.
Rice, flour, oil, meat, vegetables and even honeycomb coal have been distributed.
The adults couldn’t guarantee it, but the new cotton-padded clothes for the children had been taken away from every household.
Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, every family ate meat-filled dumplings and looked at the new cotton-padded jackets on their children...
All men would cry out to follow the people of Red Northern Shaanxi to protect this hard-earned happiness.
Song Wenwan has already made his cards clear in Gansu. The people all know that following Commander Song means following Red Shaanxi.
As for how to keep it secret, that is a headache for Political Commissar Mo and the system. Song Wenwan is now only responsible for military affairs.
Spring is here and he is busy with spring plowing, but he didn't expect that troublemakers would come.
Anan Weiji of the 11th Japanese Army in Hankou had already learned the truth of the matter from the intelligence department.
In the just-concluded Xiangbei battle, the reason why he was defeated so badly was all because of the great efforts put in by Song Wenwan.
In order to retaliate against Song Wenwan, Anan found the Japanese garrison in Henan.
Don’t let them wait until this year’s autumn harvest, but drive the people of Henan towards Gansu through Hubei now.
In his opinion, the only way was to drive all the people to the northwest and consume the food stored by Song Wenwan as quickly as possible.
Only then can I find Song Wenwan as soon as possible, take revenge, and wipe out all the previous humiliation.
While Song Wenwan was scolding Anan for being unreliable, she happily asked people to settle the victims.
Time passed quickly, and Song Wenwan gave all the armored equipment to Zhou Weiguo and asked him to train two armored divisions.
Song Wenwan said that when the spring plowing is over next year, it will be time for the armored forces to go out.
Sun Desheng was finally satisfied. They had been in closed training for a long time.
They had been waiting for the arrival of the Z-9 for a long time, and finally it arrived.
Zhou Weiguo, who was in charge of arranging the security work, also saw what the nemesis of tanks was, the killer on the treetops.
The Sherman tank immediately lost its appeal. Now that there was a tank nemesis, who would still care about being an armored troop commander?
