Lost and Spy

Chapter 737 Lobbying Around
"I, Meng Shaoyuan, like to make friends all my life. Director Xue is my friend."

Meng Shaoyuan also stopped going around in circles: "Director Xue came this time, I'm afraid it's because of this batch of supplies. Let me make it clear. It's impossible to give all of them, or most of them to you. That's right, there are indeed Li Commander's order, but this order is not issued clearly, even if there is an official document from Mr. Li, Han Deqin would never dare to do so."

Xue Sixu nodded.

If anyone dares to give most of the supplies to the Fourth Route Army, then he really doesn't want to continue doing it.

"I, Meng Shaoyuan, definitely don't have the courage. I don't want to lose my head yet." Meng Shaoyuan said frankly, "However, it's really unreasonable not to give it to the Fourth Route Army at all. The question is, how to give it? After giving it, How could the higher authorities not hold me accountable? Director Xue, Chairman Han will not find a solution for me. You put me in the position of a special commissioner, my buttocks are very hot, and I will burn at any time."

A smile flashed across Xue Sixu's face.

He also knew how difficult it was for Meng Shaoyuan to sit in this position.

"But it's already like this, what else can I do?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Director Xue, I will find a way to let them allocate some supplies to the Fourth Route Army. It's not much, but it's already within the scope of my ability. I can do it. I even estimate that even if Chairman Han agrees, he will replace his troops with the weapons that have been eliminated."

"Even if this is the case, the Fourth Route Army will thank you." From the beginning to the end, Xue Sixu never admitted his identity: "I heard that it is more difficult there, especially the lack of weapons and ammunition. The eliminated ones are better than none All right. But even then you're taking a lot of risk, and putting your friends at risk doesn't make sense."

"In this line of work, I take risks every day." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "I have an idea in my heart, but I just need to ask Director Xue for help."

"You said, what's the favor, I will definitely help if I can do it."

"If Director Xue happened to know the main defense area, scope of activities, and deployment of troops of the Fourth Route Army, preferably with the accuracy of regiment and battalion as a unit, then I would be very grateful."

This is the core secret of a military force.

If it is leaked out and known by people with ulterior motives, it may put this army in danger in an instant.

However, Xue Sixu did not hesitate: "I don't know much about the Fourth Route Army, but according to what I know, the Fourth Route Army is currently mainly operating in southern Jiangsu. This time they dispatched a group of cadres to southern Jiangsu. Strengthen the forces there. The military forces in the central and northern regions of the Soviet Union are not large. Most of them are formed by companies and platoons, plus some local armed forces. Unless they can cross the Yangtze River, it will inevitably cause conflicts with Chairman Han. what."

Sooner or later, you will cross the Yangtze River sooner or later.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Meng Shaoyuan pretended not to know: "That's fine, I need to know how powerful these military units are and what kind of battles they can fight."

"Okay, I'll help you find out."

"Then I'll leave it to Director Xue." Meng Shaoyuan specifically explained: "The sooner the better."

"It seems that Commissioner Meng is going to do something in northern Jiangsu." Xue Sixu smiled: "Okay, making friends is what counts. I will help Commissioner Meng get information now!"

Meng Shaoyuan knew that he was going back to report to the organization, so he didn't force him to stay: "Then I'll wait for the good news from Director Xue!"

Sending Xue Sixu out, seeing that it was still early for the dinner: "Prepare the car and send it to my Hou Yongsheng!"

……

For Meng Shaoyuan's sudden visit, Hou Yongsheng was a little caught off guard: "Oh, commissioner Meng, we are going to meet tonight, why don't you take a good rest at your residence, why are you still running around like this?"

"Director Hou, I'm here to visit you." Meng Shaoyuan got straight to the point: "What about us, now we are eating in a pot, so I won't hide anything. I'm afraid you know it too, right?"

Hou Yongsheng was a little embarrassed.

Meng Shaoyuan is too straightforward. The conflict between him and Xu Enzeng is well known in the Central Department. Xu Enzeng will not say next time that he will get rid of Meng Shaoyuan sooner or later.

Hou Yongsheng settled down for a while: "I have heard about this, and I have heard about it. However, now is an extraordinary period, and we are fighting against Japan together. I don't think a little personal grievance is nothing."

"Director Hou has a good opinion." Meng Shaoyuan took advantage of the situation and said: "In the face of the joint war of resistance, personal grievances can be put aside. Let's take a step back and say that even though the conflict between Director Xu and I is difficult to resolve, the relationship between Director Hou and I There is no holiday."

Hou Yongsheng was speechless for a while, he didn't quite know the real purpose of Meng Shaoyuan's visit this time.

"I'm active in Shanghai, and Director Hou has always been in the same boat." Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide it at all: "I made meritorious service, and I died, which has nothing to do with you. Even if you killed me in northern Jiangsu, except Oral commendation to Director Xu, will you still give you any rewards publicly? Moreover, this offended our Director Dai."

It's all nonsense, but none of it is true.

"Commissioner Meng, what is the purpose of coming today?"

"By chance, you and I have both arrived in northern Jiangsu. My opinion is that the personal grievances between Director Xu and I should be put aside. I will join hands with you and Director Xu to make a great contribution!"

"What credit?"

"Recover Yancheng and Funing!"

"What did you say?" Hou Yongsheng stood up suddenly, staring at Meng Shaoyuan in disbelief: "You say it again?"

"Recover Yancheng, Funing!"

"You're crazy, you're crazy."

Hou Yongsheng sat back down again: "Yancheng and Funing fell not long ago, but you actually thought of regaining them immediately?"

"It's not my thought, but Chairman Han's." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Since Japan entered northern Jiangsu, Yancheng and other places have been occupied one after another. He also has worries and can't make up his mind. All we have to do is to cheer him up.

You see, after the fall of Xuzhou, in order to consolidate the two Huaihe Rivers and ensure the safety of the seat of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, Chairman Han ordered Gu Xijiu, commander of the 89th Brigade of the 117th Division of the 357th Army, to lead the 701st and 702nd regiments of the brigade to station in Suining County, and the 33th regiment of the 198rd Division Liu Zhenhuang was stationed in Suqian.In addition, Li Mingyang, the administrative inspector of the Ninth District and the Guerrilla Headquarters of the Sulu-Anhui Border Area of ​​the Fifth War Zone, is also stationed in Suining.

What kind of formation is this?This is ready to attack Yancheng, Funing and other places at any time!Don't the Japanese know this?Know. In early May, the Japanese army attacked Suining, but was repelled by Chairman Han.It was also this victory that greatly increased Chairman Han's confidence. I judge that within two months, Chairman Han will definitely take military action! "

Speaking of this, he looked at Hou Yongsheng: "At that time, you and I are no longer in northern Jiangsu. This credit has nothing to do with you and me."

"Go on." Hou Yongsheng seemed to think of something.

"It's very simple. Chairman Han has elites in his hands and can attack at any time. In addition, the arrival of a large amount of supplies this time increases his chances of winning. Now, we just need to give him a push."

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "The intelligence personnel of our military command in Yancheng and Funing will soon deploy and send the Japanese troops from these places. When the time comes, it will be said that you and I jointly obtained the information.

Director Hou, imagine if Yancheng and Funing are restored, will our contribution be less?Even if you can't win, the chairman will not blame you, but only reward you and me! "

Hou Yongsheng knew that what the other party said was true.

After the 101st Division of the Japanese Army invaded the North, Han Deqin’s troops continued to resist but lost ground. On May 1938, 5, the chairman of the committee called Han Deqin to ask:

"Zha Funing's enemies were less than three thousand, and they drove thousands of miles as if they were in an uninhabited territory. Now there is a tendency for the East China Sea to block the Longhai Road. The army of the deputy commander-in-chief is five times stronger than the enemy, but the loss of divisions and ground affects the main force. How will the safety of the side and back be solved by itself?"

The meaning of the chairman is that Han Deqin should not just passively defend, but take the initiative to attack, so as to achieve the graveyard of containing the Japanese troops!

This is also a very important reason why Han Deqin wanted to attack Yancheng, Funing and other places.

"However, since we want to fight, we must find a way to win!" Meng Shaoyuan continued: "How to win? We must use all the forces that can be used in northern Jiangsu. Among them, the Fourth Route Army is also included."

"Fourth Route Army? I'm afraid they won't listen to us?"

"Of course not at the moment." Meng Shaoyuan said confidently: "But, don't forget the batch of supplies in our hands. The Fourth Route Army always said that the Nationalist Government did not supply them with weapons and ammunition, and did not give them military pay. Now we have given them weapons. , they have no reason not to fight, even if they harass a little, they can contain part of the Japanese army's strength!"

"Brother Shaoyuan." Hou Yongsheng's address has also changed: "It's not impossible to give weapons to the Fourth Route Army, but if the higher authorities track it down in the future, the responsibility will be great."

"I do have a way."

Meng Shaoyuan expressed his thoughts: "In this way, everyone is happy. Chairman Han got most of the supplies. As for the other troops, they also ate meat and drank soup. Everyone's mouths were blocked. Except Silu Everyone in the army is grateful to Chairman Han. Not only will Chairman Han not blame us, but he will look at us differently.

The key to this is that this battle must be fought well.After the fight is over, it is a trivial matter to give weapons to the Fourth Route Army.Then, you and I will jointly write an official document, writing down the achievements of officials of all sizes in northern Jiangsu, and I will personally submit it to the chairman's attendant room. The situation is harmonious. "

"Brother Shaoyuan, your brain is so fast." Hou Yongsheng sighed: "If this thing can really be done, everyone will thank you and me, just do it according to your ideas!"

Damn it, the young master is playing his life with his head on it!
