What He Keqi said is undoubtedly reasonable. Since Xu Jiujiu was injured in the artillery training accident the year before last, his physical condition has plummeted, and his energy has begun to become a little weak. He no longer has the energy to deal with the conflicts between his officers from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so he adopted a divide and rule strategy. . In short, all officers who are leaning towards the Chinese Communist Party or have secretly joined the Communist Party will be transferred to Gao Shenxing's first brigade, while all officers who are leaning towards the Kuomintang or the Kuomintang will be transferred to Li Zihan's second brigade. Along with Little Japan Weakening day by day, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the two armies began to become more and more tense, and the atmosphere between the first brigade and the second brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui also began to become increasingly tense. If Xu Jiujiu was still alive, no matter how tense the atmosphere between the First Brigade and the Second Brigade was, there would be absolutely no chance of a fight, because the tiger's thin majesty was still there, even though Xu Jiujiu was so sick that he seemed to have only one left. Although his tone has changed, his prestige among all the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is still irreplaceable. But now that Xu Jiujiu has fallen into a coma, and the doctor has diagnosed that the situation in Longkou is more serious than bad, the situation in Longkou immediately becomes delicate. If Shu Tongwen rushes over at this time, it will inevitably endanger Li Zihan and the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade. There is an impression that the 7th Division of the New Fourth Army is likely to join forces with the 1st Brigade to deal with their 2nd Brigade, then Li Zihan and the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Brigade are most likely to take action first. Another one, Huang Baitao's Army in Jing County might also be involved. At that moment, Shu Tongwen let out a long sigh and said a little lonely: "Ji people have their own destiny. I believe that the captain will get better. The captain often said that no one in this world can kill him." , Even the Lord of Hell can't do anything to him, he will be fine, he will be fine." He Keqi patted Shu Tongwen on the shoulder and said: "Of course we have the best wishes, but we must also do the best and the worst. Plan, if, I mean just in case, if something happens to Xu Jiujiu, I'm afraid we have to take precautions and prepare to deal with this crisis. " Shu Tongwen nodded silently, and he and Xu Jiujiu had a deep relationship. Returning to Shenzhou, he was not so panicked that he completely lost his mind. The 7th Division probably really had to take precautions and be prepared in advance, at least to ensure that the First Brigade of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was not eaten by the Kuomintang army. (Dividing line) Huang Baitao said to Gu Zhutong, "Gao Shenxing's first brigade and Li Zihan's second brigade are both three-regiment brigades, with similar strength, both numbering more than 9,000 people. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is also similar. Without the participation of external forces, it is probably unrealistic to expect the second brigade to annihilate the first brigade in one fell swoop. Once a war breaks out, the biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer losses. "I'm afraid it won't work for both sides." "It is best to be able to kill Gao Shenxing's first brigade while ensuring that the strength of the second brigade is not damaged, and the action must be fast. Otherwise, once the New Fourth Army's seventh division is involved, the situation will become extremely complicated. "Huang Baitao nodded and said: "Chief Commander, the key to getting rid of Gao Shenxing's first brigade without causing too much trouble is Sun Laobao?" "Sun Laobao?" Shen Sheng said, "You mean, Xu Jiujiu's guard battalion?" He was loyal to the party and the country, and the party was loyal to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, but now he is the commander of the U Regiment of the Second Brigade. Sun Laobao, who replaced Yang Dashu as the guard battalion commander of the 19th detachment, defected from the 1st Army. Gu Zhutong didn't know anything about this Sun Laobao. He only knew that he was the guard battalion commander of the 19th detachment. He immediately asked Huang Baitao: "Brother Huanran, how much do you know about this Sun Laobao?" Huang Baitao smiled bitterly and said: "General seat, I am not very familiar with this Sun Laobao, but he came from our First Army after all, and there are many of his old friends in the First Army, so I thought if I could send some of his old acquaintances there to try. Do you want to do his job? " "Okay, that's a good idea," Gu Zhutong praised, "Xu Jiujiu is in danger, and the split of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is inevitable. Sun Laobao, as the leader of the Nineteenth Detachment, The guard battalion commander should also consider his personal future. In this way, as long as he is willing to be loyal to the party and the country, I will make him the regiment commander." Huang Baitao said yes, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, thinking that Gu Zhutong was The commander-in-chief of the theater is really stupid. If it is just to win over Sun Laobao's guard camp, why bother to expend such effort? No matter how powerful Sun Laobao's guard camp is, wouldn't it be possible without him in the third theater? The purpose of wooing Sun Laobao was to eat the first brigade of Gao Shenxing. At that moment, Huang Baitao said patiently: "General, there is another benefit to wooing Sun Laobao's guard camp." Gu Zhutong reacted quickly. , said in a deep voice: "You mean to trick Gao Shenxing and the senior officers of the First Brigade into the county town, and then kill them with the help of the guard battalion? ""Yes." Huang Baitao nodded and said: "Because of Gao Shenxing and the two regiment leaders, the First Brigade's tendency to join the Communist Party is very obvious, but in fact there are not many officers who actually join the Communist Party, because the Communist Party launched a revolution two years ago The Purity Movement greatly damaged the relationship between the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army. Until now, the relationship between the two parties has not been fully restored. Therefore, as long as Gao Shenxing and several senior officers of the First Brigade are killed with thunderous means "It is actually entirely possible for the Second Brigade to integrate the First Brigade?" Gu Zhutong's eyes suddenly showed a sharp look. He was actually too early to consider the elite force of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. I'm salivating. If we can really integrate Gao Shenxing's second brigade without losing any blood, the result will undoubtedly be excellent. Huang Baitao said: "As long as Gao Shenxing and his two regiment leaders, Li Shuangqiang and Wang Fusheng, can be stopped, with Zihan's qualifications and prestige, there should be a chance to incorporate the first brigade." "Okay" Gu Zhutong Said, "Send someone to contact Sun Laobao immediately." (Dividing line) Duzi and Li Dezhi came out of the headquarters with worried faces, and happened to meet Sun Laobao who was hurried over. "Lao Li, Duzi, Commander, have you woken up?" Sun Laobao greeted the two from a distance. Duzi sighed, but Li Dezhi shook his head and said, "No, I don't know when I will wake up." As Xu Shijiu suddenly fell into a coma, the atmosphere within the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army suddenly became solemn. To be clear, due to the two chief officers, Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan, although the officers and soldiers of the first brigade and the second brigade were clearly distinct, the positions of several directly affiliated troops were very vague. The cavalry battalion was originally leaning towards the Communist Party, but after the confrontation, the cavalry battalion commander Peng Wu was dismissed from his post. Along with Peng Wu, several members of the cavalry battalion were also dismissed from their posts. Later, these military officers were dismissed from their posts. The Southeast Branch of the Communist Party of China withdrew, and the Communist Party's influence in the cavalry battalion plummeted. Although the guard battalion commander Sun Laobao surrendered from the First Army, he had no favorable impressions of the Kuomintang, but he also had no idea about the Communist Party. Therefore, Sun Laobao really had no political stance. This is why Xu Jiujiu The reason for appointing Sun Laobao as the security battalion commander. Duzi is a veteran who has followed Xu Shijiu since the Battle of Lanfeng, but he is different from the veterans Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen and Li Zihan. Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan were divided into two groups due to their different personal philosophies. Two different factions, but Duzi, like Xu Shijiu, just wants to be a pure soldier. So when Xu Jiujiu suddenly fell into a coma, as the commanders of the guard battalion, cavalry battalion and artillery battalion, Sun Laobao, Li Dezhi and Duzi had the saddest life, because they suddenly discovered that they did not know what to do tomorrow. What happens after the sun rises? What particularly upset Sun Laobao, Li Dezhi and Duzi was that Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan secretly sent old brothers who were familiar with them to lobby, trying to persuade them to join their respective camps. Both sides spoke very sincerely, but Sun However, Lao Bao and the others heard a chilling air from them. Once Xu Jiujiu is unconscious for a long time, the first and second brigades will most likely start a war. By then, the guard battalion, cavalry battalion and artillery battalion will be in a very difficult position.
