Chapter 147: Sending more troops to Qin Haichuan in Shanxi
Song Wenwan finally established a positive image of a man who loves and cares for his wife in front of her.
The reason why he was so angry just now was not because he did not ask for his permission before replacing the Minister of Logistics.
It is because it is absolutely unwise to remove Qin Haichuan's father from this position.
Even if Qin Haichuan himself has no objection, there is no guarantee that his subordinates will be dissatisfied.
Qin Haichuan's tens of thousands of troops are all in Shanxi. If there are people from Wuhan who come out to sow discord among them.
The negative consequences that arise from this are something that Song Wenwan cannot tolerate.
Fortunately, Mr. Qin was smart and took his children away directly.
In this way, the rumors of discord between the Song and Qin families were self-defeating.
He didn't dare to continue this topic now. Didn't he see that his wife was angry just now?
Song Wenwan said: "This time our Gansu Army will march into the interior of China and travel across the four provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and Henan.
We fought several serious battles against the Japanese and won great victories, killing nearly 80,000 of them.
This is not a number of casualties, but a total annihilation, a complete loss of vitality."
"Wow..."
When everyone heard this, they gave Song Wenwan a warm round of applause.
Especially Zhu Bei, she was so proud of her husband that her two little hands turned red from clapping.
Song Wenwan continued: "Now let's take stock of the strength of our Gannan coalition outside of Gansu."
Brother Ren Jiu stood up, picked up a document and read: "We are now in Jiangxi, with a regiment of regular troops.
At the same time, a militia group was developed, but due to its large number of members, it did not join the New Fourth Army. "
Song Wenwan said: "A large number of people? Then how many people can they have?"
Brother Nine said, "They reported 8,000 people, including our group, there should be more than 13,000 people!
Commander, you know that the people below like to underreport the number of people, and they all want to give you a surprise."
Song Wenwan said: Why are there still so many people who have not been handed over to the New Fourth Army?
This isn't a surprise, this is a shock.
If the temporary capital knew about this, we would know that we have so many people in Jiangxi.
They must have been recruited by the scum of the Central Army."
After hearing this, Brother Ren Jiu said helplessly: "Commander, this is just the beginning.
Your impression of them still remains from the beginning of 1936.
It has been three years, and those boys who were fourteen or fifteen years old are now almost eighteen years old.
By next year, maybe I can put together an army for you!"
Song Wenwan thought for a while and said, "Brother Jiu, I'm afraid that things will get complicated, so why not just give them a number?
I think we should give them the designation of the First Militia Guerrilla Division in the name of the 46th Army Group.
As for the candidate for the division commander? I think we should let the deputy chief of staff Guan Zhan take charge!"
As soon as they heard that Guan Zhan was going to Jiangxi this time, there was a sudden chorus of wailing from below.
Especially Sun Desheng and Hao Dadan, who were stamping their feet and beating their chests, feeling extremely regretful.
"Oh, why is it not our turn to go out this time?"
"Commander, you are biased, aren't you? If you don't let us go out and fight the Japanese, we will all get rusty."
Song Wenwan said: "The situation in Jiangnan is very complicated, and Deputy Chief of Staff Guan is familiar with the people there, so it will be easy to deal with.
If I let you two go to Jiangxi, your troops will be swallowed up by the Central Army within ten days.
Don't worry, you two won't even be able to leave Gansu without two years."
Hao Dadan has been with Song Wenwan for a long time, so his mind is quite flexible.
He suddenly had an idea and asked Song Wenwan, "Commander, are you planning to use us in some important way?"
Song Wenwan smiled and said, "You are smart, but your teacher hasn't arrived yet.
When he arrives, you will naturally be busy. Starting tomorrow, your task is to study?"
"What? We still have to go to school?" These two are complete illiterates. It would be better to kill them than to let them go to school.
Song Wenwan glared and said, "I'm just asking you to learn to read and read, why are you shouting?
If you two can't even recognize all the characters, how can you lead our ace troops in battle?"
When the two heard that they would be able to command the ace troops in battle in the future, they immediately stopped crying and making a fuss.
Song Wenwan ignored the curiosity of others and let Brother Jiu continue.
Brother Ren Jiu said: “Everyone, what I just talked about was our military strength in Jiangnan.
Now there are no less than 13,000 people, and by this time next year, it will be around 25,000 people."
Song Wenwan said, "Deputy Chief of Staff Guan, from now on, all our troops in Jiangnan will be under your charge.
Your task is to protect the flank of the New Fourth Army while killing the Japanese devils.
I will give you a special code book so that you can communicate directly with General Ye."
Ren Jiuge went on to say: "We also have a guerrilla detachment in Henan, and the current detachment commander is Wu Longcheng.
Deputy Commander Suo, your brother-in-law has performed quite well.
With the help of Political Commissar Ding, this guy nearly doubled his troops in less than a month, and now has 20,000 people.
The nearby Japanese devils he attacked all hid in the territory of the Shanxi First Army. "
Song Wenwan also said: "Lao Suo, talk to him these two days and tell him to pay attention to the quality of the soldiers and train them more.
I estimate that within two months, Wuhan will no longer be able to hold on.
Once the Japanese in Wuhan have time, they will definitely seek revenge on him.
Let them find a good retreat route in advance and make preparations to enter the mountains in time."
"Thank you Commander for your reminder. I will go and inform him today." After hearing this, Suo Wuxing quickly nodded in agreement.
Brother Ren Jiu said: "We now have the largest number of troops in Shanxi.
It includes four guerrilla detachments: the first, second, third and fourth.
There is also an artillery marine brigade, an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment.
The First and Second Guerrilla Detachments entered Shanxi relatively early and had very good relations with the Eighth Route Army.
With their help, the two detachments not only had their own base, but also had a manpower of 40,000.
Deputy Commander Qin's subordinates, added together, number about 40,000.
We have nearly 80,000 troops in Shanxi."
Song Wenwan said: "The commander of the Second War Zone has shown that he is quite afraid of our First and Second Guerrilla Detachments.
In future joint operations, I’m afraid they won’t let these two detachments get close to each other.”
"Brother Jiu, send a telegram to the First Army in Xi'an later.
Let them return Commander Xie and his division to us.
Let them wait at the Yellow River ferry, and I will provide them with additional personnel and equipment.
It was organized into the Gansu Army's Fifth Guerrilla Detachment and placed under the jurisdiction of Qin Haichuan. In this way, he would have 50,000 main forces around him, and his safety could be guaranteed."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man suddenly came in and said something to Song Wenwan.
"I'd like to thank you on behalf of your Haichuan!" Then he turned around and left with a smile.
This person was Qin Haichuan's father. He came today to pick up Song Jinxiu and Song Shanhe to play at his home.
I just happened to hear Song Wenwan, showing great concern for her son.
Fearing that there might be any problem with his safety, he was dispatching troops to reinforce his forces, and only then did he express his gratitude.
