"Then you bring this person over quickly, I want to hear what confidential and important things this envoy has to tell me face to face," Zhou Wu asked his brothers to send the mysterious envoy over.
What important and confidential things have to be said in person, not directly written in the order Zhou Wu and Ding Ning guessed for a long time, and they couldn't figure out what was important Soon, a tall middle-aged man was brought in by several scout brothers outside, and when Zhou Wu saw that this person was a soldier, he hurriedly asked the brothers to untie him and let him sit down and talk.
The middle-aged man didn't sit down, and said to Zhou Wu: "This commander is Zhou Wu, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the 79th Army of the National Army."
Zhou Wu nodded: "Yes, I am Zhou Wu, if you have something to say, you can talk about it" The man was still not at ease, and asked Zhou Wu again: "The old army commander asked me to send a letter to Brigade Commander Ma, he is very good in Chongqing now, I hope you don't worry about it."
After speaking, this person groped out something from the mezzanine of his clothes and handed it to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu took it and looked at it, his eyes moistened all of a sudden, isn't this the old commander's handwritten letter Yes, absolutely yes, the old army commander has a habit of writing letters, and he always likes to add a little bit in the place where the money is paid at the end, ordinary people can't see this subtle change, but Zhou Wu is different, he and the old army commander are teachers and students plus subordinate relationships, and the correspondence with the old army commander is very frequent, and he has long known the old army commander's habit.
There has been no news of the old army commander for nearly two years, and today he saw the old army commander's handwriting with his own eyes, and seeing the words is like seeing people, Zhou Wu not only had a lot of thoughts, but also sighed for a long time.
Hurriedly served tea, and let the envoy sit down and speak.
The old army commander did not say anything else in the letter, but said that he had arrived in the temporary capital of the mountain city of Chongqing, because the 79th Army was almost completely wiped out in the defense of Nanjing, the old army commander felt that his face was gloomy, so he handed over a letter of resignation to the chairman of the committee, and the chairman was also very happy, approved the old army commander's resignation request, and invited him to go to Chongqing, Sichuan to serve as the work of raising logistics materials for the rear.
Thinking that he still had a few years to contribute to the country, he agreed to the invitation of the chairman and went to Chongqing in the early summer of the 37th year of the Republic of China.
This time, I was very relieved to hear that my protégé Zhou Wu was still fighting behind enemy lines in the Soviet Union and China, and hoped that Zhou Wu could live up to the important responsibility of the party and the state and kill more devils.
He is old and can no longer go to the battlefield with Zhou Wu to kill the enemy, but he can still make a modest contribution to the war of resistance in the rear.
Zhou Wu read the letter from the old army commander, he was overjoyed, he didn't expect the old army commander to be so old and still working for the war of resistance in the rear, this letter is not only a letter of peace to Zhou Wu, but also a pair of mutual encouragement letters with more than ten years of friendship between teachers and students.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zhou Wu's expression, he knew that this was the real Zhou Wu, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary people to have this kind of demeanor.
After he sat down with confidence, he introduced himself to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, I am the deputy director of the theater intelligence department under Commander Chen of the Sixth Theater of Operations, surnamed Zhang, with the rank of colonel, this time I came to your department on the personal order of Commander Chen, to convey confidential orders, if there is any offense, I hope that there are a lot of brigades."
Zhou Wu heard that Director Zhang was fluent, quick-witted, and cautious, but he was not an ordinary person, he must also be an old intelligence, not much worse than those spies such as military commanders, so he had to be careful not to fall into the trap.
"Haha, it turned out that Director Zhang arrived, Ma Mou missed the distance, and he was offended, and I hope Colonel Zhang will forgive me.
You have worked so hard to find our Independent Brigade this time, and there are any important confidential matters to explain to me in person, and it is all our own people here, but it doesn't matter if you say it.
Zhou Wu said to Director Zhang, who was sent from this war zone to engage in intelligence.
At the same time, my mind was thinking quickly: what is the important thing?
Director Zhang still didn't worry about Ding Ning around Zhou Wu, his eyes kept looking around, Zhou Wu knew what he was worried about, so he nodded at Ding Ning and them, and Ding Ning walked out of the room with his brothers in a funny way, leaving only Zhou Wu and this Director Zhang.
At this time, this Director Zhang stood up, unbuttoned the robe outside, took out something from the collar of the underwear inside, and handed it to Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu took it and took a closer look: it was a paper stick rolled up like a cigarette, and there was a wax seal in the middle that indicated top secret, Director Zhang motioned for Zhou Wu to open it and take a look.
Zhou Wu hurriedly opened the stick-like note in the regimental city and looked at it, his expression became solemn, and his body involuntarily straightened up, it turned out to be Chairman Jiang's handwritten instructions, no wonder this Director Zhang hid it so secretly.
Zhou Wu took a closer look at the handwritten edict written by the chairman, the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became, and after reading it, Director Zhang said to Zhou Wu: "Luzao, you now know what the chairman means, brother, you have a bright future, the chairman personally gave you the handwriting, what a glory it is, the content of it is that even I don't know, what to do Luzao should be very clear in his heart." ” It turned out that the content of this edict didn't even know what he had transmitted, Zhou Wu secretly thought in his heart, it would be much easier, stabilize this guy for me first, and then I will find Ding Ning and them to discuss it before theorizing.
"Haha, Director Zhang has worked hard all the way, he must have encountered a lot of dangers, you settle down with us first, the chairman is my Ma's principal and leader, and I should obey his orders unconditionally, you can rest assured of this, come and send this commissioner Mr.
Hurry up, treat him well, don't slack off" Zhou Wu shouted loudly to the door.
It seems that this time with the handwritten letter from the chairman of the committee and the old army commander, the effect is really different, if this brave general who can fight can be used well, it will be of great benefit to the development of the national army in the Soviet Union and China.
After sending off the special envoy Director Zhang, Zhou Wu hurriedly called Ding Ning, the fat man and Ge Sanmin to come in, and handed over the handwritten message of the chairman to Ding Ning, asking them to take a look at it before making a comment.
When Ding Ning saw it, his face changed greatly, and the fat man and Ge Sanmin also hurriedly glanced at it a few times, only to see that it was written in the edict that Zhou Wu's independent brigade should establish a guerrilla base of the national army in the Soviet Union, collect the national army that had been scattered by the little devils, and take the opportunity to develop forces and recruit various anti-Japanese armed forces in the Soviet Union, except for the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party.
Zhou Wu can directly contact the nearest national army team to Gaoyou Lake, and everything is prioritized.
Ding Ning saw it, was puzzled, and said to Zhou Wu angrily: "Brigade seat, what do you mean, what do you mean, the chairman of the committee wants us to attack the New Fourth Army, don't say that the New Fourth Army has a life-saving grace for our independent brigade, even if they have never helped us before, we can't attack our own friendly troops, if we fight, we will be scolded by the people in the backbone."
Then what's the difference between us and those who take refuge in the little devils and become traitors?"
The fat man and Ge Sanmin listened to Ding Ning's words, and when they knew the situation in the chairman's edict, they also felt unreasonable, especially the fat man, who was already rushing to speak, and his voice was loud: "Luzao, we can't listen to Lao Jiang this time, he asked us to fight devils here, and we listened to him, but he asked us to be ungrateful to fight other teams that fight devils, we absolutely refuse, doesn't this make our independent brigade traitors?"
Zhou Wu hurriedly glared at the fat man, the fat man hurriedly shut up, and Ge Sanmin said to Zhou Wu with a straight face: "Brigade seat, I see that this time the chairman of the committee personally issued an order for us to have friction with the New Fourth Army, there must be a problem, now that the little devil has just recovered, why are we going to fight a civil war with our own people again, isn't that a joke between the little devil and the traitor In the end, our national army and the New Fourth Army will be defeated, and those devils and traitors raised by bitches will take advantage of it, and it will be the common people who will suffer in the end." ” Zhou Wu nodded: "So I called you here to discuss this matter, since the chairman issued this order, then the theater command and the old army commander should also know, but what I don't understand is why the old army commander didn't mention this matter in my heart?"
"Yes, I think this is the possibility, although the old army commander fought with the Red Army in the Soviet area in the previous civil war and fought many battles, but since the little devil invaded, he has set up such a rule: as long as the little devil does not drive out of China for a day, he will not be an enemy of the Communist Party for a day, not to mention that the New Fourth Army is still an anti-Japanese team, and I think it is absolutely impossible for the old army commander to agree with the chairman's decision to let our independent brigade be the vanguard of friction."
Ding Ning analyzed Zhou Wu, in his opinion, although the old army commander was born in the Guangxi Gui family, but his anti-Japanese patriotism can be seen every day, otherwise he is so old, and he has to take the 79th Army in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places to fight with the little devils, and he has long found an opportunity to pick a son and quit, and returned to his hometown in Guangxi to recuperate "I also think that the old army commander doesn't know about this, even if he knows about it, he will stop me Zhou Wu from doing this in time.
Then you talk about it, what are we doing now, so that the chairman and the New Fourth Army can explain it well" Zhou Wu was still fantasizing about the left and right at this time, and neither side wanted to offend, after all, their independent brigade is still the national army sequence, plus the chairman also promoted Zhou Wu by one level, and he is a lieutenant general, although the scale of this army is only the foundation of the independent brigade. t1706231537:
