Chapter 107 Government's Request
This time the independent brigade launched a large satellite, and none of the forces reacted.
The Eighth Route Army occupied the advantageous position. Ding Wei and Li Yunlong found Wang Ye and asked them to send trucks to help them transport the troops to other counties.
Wang Ye agreed without thinking. The more counties the Eighth Route Army occupied, the smoother his subsequent plans would be.
As soon as the National Government saw the plain text telegram, it ordered the Military and Central Bureau of Investigation to verify the accuracy of the news.
Although they knew that this independent brigade was quite strong and could destroy the Third Brigade,
However, the 20th Division is not comparable to the 20rd Brigade. In terms of combat power, one 5th Division is equivalent to five rd Brigades.
After the attendant's office issued the order, Dai Chunfeng and Xu Enti shouted at the intelligence personnel of Taiyuan Station to verify it immediately.
The higher-ups even said that the independent brigade should hand in the captured items. Fortunately, others persuaded them to stop.
The leader of a unit that can fight against the Japanese field division is definitely not someone who can be easily controlled, so it is best to focus on appeasement.
In the meeting room of the attendant's room, the heads of several departments were meeting here.
He Chengfa, the director of the First Division in charge of military affairs, had just sat down when Wang Jiasheng, the director of the Advisory Office, asked him,
"Director He, you are in charge of military affairs. Such a big incident happened in northwest Shanxi. Why didn't you notice it?"
Wang Jiasheng and He Chengfa have no grudges against each other, but the higher-ups need an explanation, so he can only ask He Chengfa for it.
He Chengfa sat down in his seat silently, and looked at the people sitting there. He saw that they all looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.
He cursed in his heart, these bastards just want to see him make a fool of himself.
"Director Wang, the affairs of Jin Province are basically managed by Commander Yan of the Second War Zone. Even in places that Commander Yan cannot manage, Commander Wei of the First War Zone is watching over them.
Although I am in charge of military affairs, my reach is not that far.
Moreover, the Japanese occupied Yichang in the Zaoyi Campaign, and General Zhang died for his country. The focus of the First Division during this period is all on the Fifth War Zone. How can we have so much energy to care about the situation in Shanxi Province? "
He Chengfa said this, and seeing that Wang Jiasheng was not satisfied, he said directly, "Regarding the military intelligence of Jin Province, the Military Control Commission is basically responsible for it.
When this independent brigade was still called the Children's Corps, I paid attention to it and asked the Military Intelligence Department to contact it.
How could I know that Dai Chunfeng's work would be so slow! "
Dai Chunfeng didn't expect that he would be mentioned so soon. Wang Jiasheng took off his glasses, lowered his head and wiped them. There was no emotion in his voice.
"Director Dai, tell me, why didn't the Military Control Commission contact the Independent Brigade?"
Dai Chunfeng's stern face showed a trace of anger. Usually when he was asked to do something, he would call him Brother Dai.
Now we have to find someone to take the blame, and that's Director Dai! But we still have to say what needs to be said.
"Director Wang, before the Children's Corps took over the Eighth Route Army, I sent liaison officers to the corps, but they refused to see us.
Not only are our people missing, but even the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is blocked from entering the mountain. I reported this to Director He at the time. "
He Chengfa didn't expect that the blame would be thrown back at him, and couldn't help but angrily said, "Director Dai, you didn't say that the independent brigade was so powerful?
I thought they were guerrillas from the Eighth Route Army?"
"Didn't I tell you? The 3rd Brigade of the Japanese was completely wiped out. Could it be the work of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas?"
Dai Chunfeng didn't give any face at all. He absolutely couldn't take the blame. Everyone knew how angry the old man was when he received the news.
"Alright!" Chen Ci from the Military and Political Department interrupted the two people's shirking of responsibility, "Your problems will be judged by the old man. The most urgent task now is how to deal with this independent brigade?"
"This is easy. I heard that Wang Ye, the captain of the independent brigade, is young and such people are the easiest to fool.
We are the legitimate government of the country. Let him hand over the bodies of Fujiwara no Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke to us, and then we will hold a press conference.
In this way, the credit for annihilating the 20th Division will belong to our government. Who dares to object?"
Zhang Fanghai, director of the Second Department, said nonchalantly.
"Ha!" He Chengfa chuckled, "Director Zhang said it lightly. Wang Ye is not very old.
But don’t you think about it, at his age he can lead an independent battalion to annihilate the 20th Division. Who can match his ability?
I think it's a tough call if you want to control him by relying on righteousness!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Fanghai asked dissatisfiedly.
"Chief Chen, I think you have to step in on this matter!" He Chengfa did not answer Zhang Fanghai's question, but said to Chen Ci.
Chen Ciqi was simple. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said after a while,
"Since everyone wants me to speak, then I will speak. Time waits for no one, and the old man has even less time to wait!
The Independent Battalion is a unit of the Eighth Route Army. If you want to get people from them, you will definitely not get them without some valuable information.
The question now is, how much can we afford to pay?"
"You still need to pay?" Zhang Fanghai shouted in surprise.
"How strange! Director Zhang doesn't even pay for the things he buys?" He Chengfa didn't tolerate him at all.
Wang Jiasheng felt a headache when he saw He Chengfa and the others. It was already this late and they were still talking nonsense.
"Director Chen, how much do you think we need to pay?"
"I don't think it's useful. We need Wang Ye's consent!"
Dai Chunfeng suggested, "Everyone, Commander Wei of the First War Zone has a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army, why not ask him to go and ask about the situation?"
Chen Ci's face changed. This is a good idea. "Immediately contact Commander Wei and ask him to contact the high-level officials of the Eighth Route Army.
The bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke must be brought here no matter what!"
Wei Junru did not expect to receive such a telegram. He had a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army, but not as good as they thought.
People always say that he is colluding with the Eighth Route Army, and now I think of him.
At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the general had a headache looking at Wei Junru's telegram, "Tell me, what does the government want to do with the bodies of these two devils?"
"What else can we do? Isn't it just to show off their achievements? It would be best if we give them the credit for annihilating the 20th Division!" The division commander saw through the Kuomintang's intention at a glance.
"what should we do?"
The division commander laughed, "We didn't annihilate the 20th Division. Whoever annihilated it should be held responsible!"
"That's a good idea. Let's reply like this. The Chief of Staff is still in the Ping County Independent Battalion. With him in charge, there won't be any problems!"
Wei Junru looked at the telegram that came back and sent it back to Yudu intactly.
Chen Ci saw the call back and sighed helplessly, "Immediately arrange for someone to go to Ping County to contact Wang Ye of the Independent Brigade."
The Pingxian Japs Command is now the independent battalion's command.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the entire Ping County had already cleaned up the battlefield, and the people hid in their homes and dared not go out.
The Japanese brigade on the Zhengtai Railway planned to drive out the independent brigade when they just entered Ping County and had not yet established a firm foothold, and it would be best if they could take back the bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and other Japanese soldiers.
