I really came here to fight against Japan

"Just say that I plan to go to Taizhou in person with my wife Zhu Bei.

We must bring back Chairman Han from Jiangsu Province and the more than 3,000 Nationalist Army brothers to them."

Cheng Songyuan and Political Commissar Mo said together: "You want to take your wife to Taizhou? Will it be dangerous?

Not only were there rampant Japanese and puppet forces there, but there were also many political bandits active in the area.

Even our New Fourth Army comrades, because they don’t know your identity, I’m afraid they are hostile to you.”

Song Wenwan: "The greater the misunderstanding, the higher the success rate of this operation will be."

"Action? What action? Commander Song, are you hiding something from us?"

Song Wenwan: "Haha, I'm a good young man, how can I hide any secrets from you?"

When everyone saw that Song Wenwan was unwilling to talk, they didn't want to ask anymore.

Over the years, they have also realized that their Commander Song has many unknown secrets.

But northern Shaanxi has already said that don't worry about it or ask about it, just focus on development.

Look at it now, we have airplanes, tanks, cannons, and even warships (in the mountains).

Various military factories have been established, and many weapons and ammunition can be self-sufficient.

Party branches have also been established in these factories.

Those who can work in these factories are all comrades within the Party.

Therefore, the leader was very confident in Song Wenwan's Gansu Army Group.

After the meeting here ended, Song Wenwan immediately got up and went to Hengshan Base, where he secretly met with the leader of northern Shaanxi.

The two discussed all night, and no one knew what they talked about!

But when Song Wenwan was about to leave, there were three more letters in his handbag, the contents of which no one knew.

Song Wenwan had just returned to Longshui, Gannan, when a telegram from the attendant's office came.

"I hope my brother will do his best to mediate and rescue Chairman Han and the three thousand national army soldiers as soon as possible. All actions can be taken at your convenience."

Song Wenwan: I can understand doing things that are convenient for you, but what does this “my brother” mean?

If I admitted this, I would not be able to explain my own background after the national liberation.

Song Wenwan acted quickly and set off after receiving the order from the attendant room.

He and Zhu Bei flew to Jiangsu's field airport in Jiangbei that day.

There was a Jiangnan militia division there, and they immediately set out with Song Wenwan.

He shouted that he wanted to go to Huangqiao to ask the New Fourth Army there for an explanation.

When the Japanese soldiers along the way saw that the two families were preparing for a fight, they immediately gave way and let them pass.

By the time the Temporary Capital's attendant office found out, Song Wenwan's people had already gotten off the plane.

This deeply moved the temporary capital, because Commander Song was not only righteous but also loyal to the party and the country.

This suddenly reminded the person above that Cheng Songyuan had asked Song Wenwan to borrow troops to rush to Xi'an together.

"Well, now that I think about it, Songyuan is still loyal to me."

In the operations room of the Ministry of National Defense in the temporary capital, Xiao Fengchu also heard about that person's remembrance of Cheng Songyuan.

Deep down in his heart, he has always scoffed at this.

If you had known this would happen, why would you have done it in the first place?

You drove them to Gansu in the first place, and now they are living a prosperous life, and you are remembering their good points.

But he no longer cared about these things. His eyes were now fixed on the map of Taizhou area.

The operations staff in the operations room kept reporting Song Wenwan's movements.

"Telegram from Taizhou: Commander Song got off the plane and arrived in Jiangsu at 3 o'clock this afternoon."

"Urgent report from the front: Commander Song and his wife have already set off for Taizhou at 3:30 pm.

The main force of the Jiangnan Second Militia Division, the First Brigade, has already set out. "

"Reporting to the commanders, the Sichuan Youth Division led by Commander Lai Lu from western Shandong has begun to advance towards Taizhou.

His first main force regiment had already established an advance position at Sanlihe outside Taizhou City.

The second main force regiment went to the Huangqiao area and split the New Fourth Army's Eastward Detachment into two sections, making it difficult for the front and rear to take care of each other. "

Minister of Military Affairs: "Oh, the Second Regiment of the Youth Division is really a tough guy. Which military academy did he graduate from?"

The Chief of the Operations Staff said: "Sir, the commander of the Second Regiment is He Wen.

He is also the younger brother of Air Force Major General He Qiang and graduated from the Gannan Officer Training Class.

The Minister of Defense said: "Both of these brothers are good, and it is said that they have been favored by the higher-ups.

I plan to leave it to the eldest son as his future team, which can be said to have a bright future. "

You have to be content when you're acting. Song Wenwan's actions really gave the Dongjin Detachment a headache.

It was impossible to fight, because those facing them were not the original stubborn troops, but the real anti-Japanese forces.

If a conflict breaks out and things get out of hand, it will be a tragedy for the loved ones and a joy for the enemies.

Have we made a fool of ourselves by letting the Japanese invaders and the traitors of the southern puppet government laugh at us?

Another thing is that these two Sichuan Army Corps are large regiments of 5,000 people.

Their positions were defended very tightly, and their weapons and equipment were all high-end equipment issued by Gannan.

The Huangqiao area is the forward support point of the Eastward Detachment.

There are no other brother troops nearby that can come to support them in the battle.

Fortunately, these Sichuan troops were very restrained, although they appeared to be aggressive on the surface.

But in reality, no actual action was taken.

In the Huangqiao Command Post of the New Fourth Army, the chief of staff of the Eastward Detachment was still reporting.

"I have met the Sichuan Army's commander He Wen before. He was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

I didn’t expect that despite his young age, he had a bad temper and refused to let us go to Taizhou.

Now in Taizhou, only our regiment of 2,000 people is stationed.

On the other side of Sanlihe, there was a large Sichuan Army group of 5,000 troops.

It seems that we may not be able to defend Taizhou City. I am really unwilling to accept this."

The commander of the New Fourth Army's Eastward Detachment said: "If we can't hold it, then we can't hold it!

Anyway, our ultimate goal of moving eastward is Yangzhou, Yancheng, and Shanghai.

What Shaanxi said was right. If we want to kill more Japanese invaders, we have to keep heading east.

We can't just hide here in Taizhou and wait for the Japanese to attack us before we fight against them."

He and northern Shaanxi were highly consistent on the great significance of the New Fourth Army's eastward advance.

Always staying in the back would easily give the National Army an excuse to not actively fight the war.

Moreover, the location where our army is located is heavily populated by the Kuomintang army, and if we stay here, there may be major changes.

That's why their eastward detachment will attack all the way to the east this time.

I hope to open up the situation here as soon as possible so that I can move my military headquarters to the east quickly.

At this time, the captain of the Eastward Detachment suddenly spoke while looking at the map on the table.

"That's not right, Commander, Chief of Staff, please take a look at the situation on the map."

The detachment commander pointed to the map and said, "Look, this regiment of the Sichuan Army approaching Taizhou City is behaving very strangely.

I have just asked the investigator who came back from the front.

Although the water in the Sanli River is only one person deep, its width is more than 70 meters.

There is only a two-meter-wide wooden bridge on it, which is fine for normal people and goods passing through.

However, it has fatal flaws when used for troop assaults.

Although this Sichuan Army Youth Division has been fighting outside Sichuan for less than a year, it is also a brave and combat-ready division. "
