Chapter 225 Bandit Army
As soon as the plane landed in Chongqing, people in Chongqing immediately surrounded the plane.
"General Zhou Zhirou, what is your government doing? Are you going to turn against Country M?"
Zhou Zhirou only reported to Chongqing about a series of secret agreements reached between Pingshun and Country M. He really had no idea what specific actions Chongqing would take.
"Mr. Nelson, I can only express my regret for this situation!"
After Zhou Zhirou finished speaking, she got off the plane and walked between the soldiers lined up in two rows.
"Damn it! Is this the attitude of your Chongqing government towards Country M? I will report everything that happened here to the President of Country M!"
Nelson looked at Wang Meng, who was as still as a mountain, and felt a little surprised. Wasn't he worried about his situation at all?
"Mr. Nelson, please be patient. Perhaps the Chongqing government just wants to make its position clear. Neither you nor I are in danger!"
Sure enough, the Kuomintang soldiers only surrounded the plane for half an hour, which made Nelson feel suffocated for a while, and then they dispersed.
Nelson returned to the embassy depressed and arranged accommodation for Wang Meng in the embassy.
"Mr. Wang, I will go back to China with you this time!"
"why?"
"My term of office has come to an end. I was supposed to leave this ancient land and go to Australia last year, but because of a small deviation, I was delayed!"
Nelson picked up two glasses of red wine and handed one to Wang Meng.
"So, I hope we can complete this transaction smoothly and then start a new life!"
Nelson raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Meng's.
"Of course, we are sincere and wish you a happy new life!"
"Thank you, my friend. May you and your country prosper!"
Nelson drank it all in one gulp. He saw the deep-eyed Chinese officer from the corner of his eye and thought to himself:
This man with so many secrets may really be able to change the fate of this tragic nation. However, who knows what kind of cooperation and competition Country M will have with this nation in the future?
After returning to Chongqing, Zhou Zhirou immediately reported the smooth situation to the transport captain.
The transport captain flew into a rage and smashed an innocent vase with his cane.
"Damn it, do these people still have the Chongqing government in their eyes? Do they still have the concept of national rule?"
"Sir, Pingshun and Changzhi have become a small country within a country! And Li Yunlong's group has completely taken control of the military and politics here!"
Zhou Zhirou's words added fuel to the fire, and the transport captain went completely crazy.
"In the name of the Military and Political Department, order the 386th Brigade Independent Column to attack the enemy forces in Taiyuan! If you don't obey orders, you are a bandit!"
"Yes!"
A telegram appeared on the desk of the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
The commander-in-chief read the telegram with a gloomy face.
"Is this guy from Chongqing anxious? He actually used the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs to pressure us! It seems that if we don't accept this order, this matter will not be resolved."
"Humph, he's so arrogant! The Independent Column doesn't even appear in the organization chart of his military and political department, and yet he's still so arrogant?!"
The commander-in-chief cursed the transport captain a hundred times in his heart.
"I really have to listen to this. If he accuses me of sabotaging cooperation, who knows what he might do?"
"How about this, let's ask the 386th Brigade and the Independent Column for their opinions first!"
In the conference room of the military fortress, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at the brigade commander with a sullen face and dared not say a word.
"Why are you two silent? He is the commander-in-chief of the Air Force after all. How could you offend him like this?"
Li Yunlong spread his hands helplessly, but he really didn't deliberately target Zhou Zhirou.
"Commander, how dare I offend them? I will treat them with delicious food and drinks."
The brigade commander sighed. He knew that the transport captain would not make this decision just because of this one thing.
He must have felt threatened by the Independent Column, so he decided to test the bottom line.
If the Independent Column refused to accept orders from Chongqing, he could easily use the excuse of disrupting the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to shift the blame and start a civil war openly.
If the independent column really wants to attack Taiyuan, then we can use the Japanese to suppress the independent column and weaken its strength.
"Now that things have come to this, there is nothing much to say. What do you think now?"
"Let's delay it for now. Just say that attacking Taiyuan is a big deal and we need to be fully prepared! When the day comes when we really have to fight, we will definitely take Taiyuan!"
"Okay, that's enough. But I estimate that it can only be delayed for half a year at most. April or May next year will probably be the deadline! Get ready!"
"Yes!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang saw off the brigade commander and began to seriously consider attacking Taiyuan.
If Taiyuan is to be captured, all three armored divisions must be withdrawn, and the defense of Pingshun, Changzhi and Jincheng must be handed over to local troops.
Therefore, the top priority now is to immediately organize local forces.
"Let Dai Anlan, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan come to the fortress for a meeting tomorrow!"
The next day, Dai Anlan and others came to the meeting room.
Li Yunlong looked at the tanned Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan and thought that these two guys had suffered a lot and had really practiced hard during this period.
Especially Zhang Dabiao, who was not white to begin with, and after being exposed to the sun, he became even darker.
"Zhang Dabiao, you used to be red inside black, but now you are just black! How about you, have you learned the infantry-tank coordination of the First Armored Division? And the artillery command?"
"Hehe, I'm studying hard, but Master Dai does have some ideas. We have to ponder over his words for a long time."
Li Yunlong saw that Zhang Dabiao, who used to be arrogant, was now so humble, which showed that Zhang Dabiao was really determined to learn things.
"Hahaha. Okay, now let's talk about something else. Last time I asked you to develop your own local armed forces, how are you doing? Report back starting with the First Division!"
Jincheng was the last base to be conquered, although its mass base was not as good as Changzhi and Pingshun.
But fortunately, local armed forces had not been developed in the past, and the local people had a strong desire to participate in local armed forces and defend their hometown.
"Commander, our 1st Armored Division's reserve regiment is basically ready. We pulled a battalion from the Armored Infantry Regiment to build a skeleton, and then we'll recruit new soldiers from the local area!"
"That's right, let the old lead the new. But don't dismantle all the old troops. It's better to leave a demonstration company to serve as an example for them! What's the expected scale? When can it perform garrison missions?"
Dai Anlan thought for a moment.
"The recruitment task is expected to be completed in half a month, and combat effectiveness is expected to be formed in three months. I have discussed with Deputy Division Commander Wang and have decided to organize it into three infantry battalions, one armored reconnaissance battalion, and one artillery company!"
