The first thousand two hundred and seventy-two chapters
It was afternoon when Zhou Xiaoshan arrived in Guangde, and it was dark when Tang Shizun arrived.
As soon as the people from the 23rd Army Command arrived, they had been introducing and analyzing the composition of the troops in the third war zone and the basic situation of the Central Army.
We talked until the second half of the night before going to bed.
Fan Shaozeng's convoy arrived at four in the morning. As soon as he arrived in Guangde, he pulled Zhou Xiaoshan out of his bed.
After just coming out, Luo Jialie arrived too.
Luo Jialie took Fan Ming and Huang Yumin, and as soon as they met, they hugged Zhou Xiaoshan.
"Xiaoshan, the matter of governing Sichuan according to law and fighting in Myanmar, your achievements are almost riled into a myth. Good, good boy, you deserve to be the legendary adjutant of our army!"
"You kid, you don't come to Anhui even if you go to Myanmar to fight. Have you forgotten your roots?"
"Honestly, if you didn't come to Anhui, are you afraid that we, Junmao Luo, would you put a tight curse on you?"
Zhou Xiaoshan himself did not expect that he had been away from the main force of the 66th Army for more than three years.
Several generals of the 66th Army were still so enthusiastic.
He even brought several old subordinates of his former secret service camp, Zhang Zhenhe, Jiang Jiahou and Xiong Shunyi.
"Xiaoshan, how long can I stay here this time?"
"Commander Deng asked the Expeditionary Force Command to send us a telegram saying that you are here to assist Stilwell in command. I tell you that the personnel relationship between a third war zone alone is very complicated. Although He Yingqin was suspicious of Chiang Kai-shek and did not dare to blatantly form cliques, he had close ties with Gu Zhutong, Wang Jingjiu, and Liu Zhi, and the Civil Engineering Department, and was very unfriendly to our Sichuan Army, let alone the soldiers in the Ninth War Zone this battle!"
Zhou Xiaoshan was so dazzled by a series of questions that Zhou Xiaoshan asked them into the room with a smile.
Let the guards serve tea.
Fan Shaozeng waved his subordinates not to follow him, and also squeezed into the room arranged by Pan Zuo for Zhou Xiaoshan.
Think of himself as a member of the 66th Army.
"I'll tell you good news first. General Stilwell was authorized by the chairman in Chongqing to command the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle. His first order was to make the 66th Army of the Sichuan Army his battlefield supervising team!"
"real?"
Huang Yumin's teeth were exposed, and Luo Jialie also looked at Zhou Xiaoshan with doubts.
"Really, and according to our analysis in Myanmar, the Japanese attacked Jiangxi, Zhejiang and had a serious shortage of troops. This time, they were very likely to invest in the epidemic prevention and water supply force, and use plague, cholera, and anthrax virus to attack!"
"I said, why did you let Zheng Chong get all the infectious disease doctors in Yongzhou to Anhui for no reason!"
"Don't underestimate this battle. The Japanese were bombed for the first time. Their people felt that the war was coming on their heads for the first time. They were very panicked. They urgently needed to destroy the Jiangsu and Zhejiang airport groups to feel safe, and they were also eager to retaliate against the Allies. If they could not fight the American mainland, they would vent their anger on our people, so they could not afford to lose this battle!"
Luo Jialie, Fan Shaozeng, Huang Yumin, and Fan Ming then realized that the reason why Zhou Xiaoshan personally came to the Third War Zone from Myanmar was to avoid the tragedy in Nanjing again.
Regarding the prospects of the War of Resistance, the revisions of ordnance, and the ideas of the battle, these guys all wanted to talk to Zhou Xiaoshan alone.
When we get together, no one can let go of it.
"It took ten hours to get to Guangde. Are you tired? I'm slept here by squatting here in the hills anyway!"
The guard brought the tea, but Luo Jialie wanted to drive him away.
"I said Lao Luo, you are wrong. Xiaoshan is not only a member of your 66th Army, but also an adjutant of the Grand Marshal. We all want to set up a halong gate formation with Xiaoshan, don't chase people so early!"
Fan Shaozeng has a 75-caliber artillery regiment that Zhou Xiaoshan had seized when he planned the battle. Now there is no shell, and the barrel has been damaged.
He still couldn't bear to throw it away, and took it with him wherever he went, so that the light he could wiped with his brothers was as bright as new.
"It's about reminiscing about the past. Since the war of resistance against Sichuan, our 88th Army has only been happiest when cooperating with Zhou Xiaoshan to deploy the battle!"
"Xiaoshan, don't treat me as an outsider. After the general died in his country, the 88th Army was in a difficult situation. You have to help me!"
The difficulties in the war of resistance behind enemy lines not only resulted from the Japanese army's blockade and siege.
Zhou Xiaoshan arrived in Guangde today, not only Pan Zuo complained, but Tang Shizun was also complaining.
He didn't expect that even Fan Shaozeng could not stand it.
Yes, the Sichuan Army is different from the 18th Army. There is no firm belief, no bright guidance, no large number of political commissars, and the instructors are motivating morale.
It's really hard for the generals.
Especially Feng Tiankui and Zhou Xiaoshan have offended He Yingqin on different occasions.
The commander of the Third War Zone was Gu Zhutong, but in the final analysis, he was from He Yingqin's power.
Being revenge put on small shoes makes their situation even more difficult.
"Captain Fan, Military Commander Luo, since the July 7 Incident, our Sichuan Army left Sichuan and persisted in the armed struggle for nearly five years. In this war, countless brothers fell down. The Japanese invaders did not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan Army did not return to Sichuan, which became the last order of the general. Here, on behalf of the general who died in the country, I would like to thank the brothers who insisted on the insistence at all stations!"
Seeing Fan Shaozeng and Luo Jialie waved their hands, Zhou Xiaoshan knew that they were asking him not to be polite.
Morale needs great victory to support. Persistence behind enemy lines did not bring victory, but instead brought about conflicts from the top and friendly forces. This kind of life was not easy.
Zhou Xiaoshan continued.
"War is also a huge test for a nation's endurance. We are suffering from painful torture. Isn't the same the Japanese? This time the expeditionary army rushed into Myanmar, and we destroyed the 33rd Division, the 17th Division, and the 18th Division, crippled the 55.56th Division of the Japanese army and the Guard Division, and even took away the artillery and chariot gangs of the Japanese 5th Division. The results were no less than the battle with the 10th Army of the Japanese army in Taihu Lake!"
"The brothers who retreated to the rear of Rongshen returned to the team after recovering from the injury. The newly formed troops took two to three years to settle down and polish them. They originally wanted to attack the Fifth War Zone and recover the fallen mountains and rivers, but the National Government was unwilling to see a powerful Sichuan Army heavy army group. After the Pearl Harbor incident, we tried our best to obstruct, so we had to go to Myanmar!"
"The road is tortuous and the future is bright. Although we entered Burma to fight and were contrary to the direction of regaining the rivers and mountains, the Japanese we fought continued to send troops to reinforce from the domestic battlefield, which created a fighter opportunity for the brothers who insisted on the front line!"
The Sichuan Army on the battlefield in Anhui needs news of victory too much.
The Burmese Sichuan Army came out with them and listened to Zhou Xiaoshan’s victory. It was also a joyful thing.
"With the participation of rice grains in the war, one of the most beneficial factors for us is that the Japanese navy was dragged to the Pacific Ocean. As the war progressed, the military production system we established in Australia also began to be tested. In about half a year, we will definitely be able to transport ammunition and military supplies to Zhejiang."
"Oh, he is the first to Banban, we have help again?"
"I hope you will recruit troops, expand troops, and start preparing for a counterattack! Opportunities belong to those who are prepared. If the opportunity for a counterattack appears in front of us and we are not prepared, it would be a pity!"
"Xiaoshan, as long as you can get firearms, ammunition and food, we will do other things!"
"But before that, it is our top priority to fight the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle, protect our people, and fight the Japanese to jump off their feet."
Don't say goodbye to Fan Ming.
"It would be nice to use the Central Army's behavior, not bullying the people, not robbing and raping women, and protecting the people!"
