After Zhou Wu's introduction, Lao Li finally remembered, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to the fat man and Ge Sanmin and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Commander Liu and Commander Ge, I am the Li staff officer of the military department." ” The fat man and Ge Sanmin finally remembered, and hurriedly held Lao Li's hand and said to him: "Haha, Staff Officer Li has always been good, and it has been more than ten years, and it is fate to be able to meet again." ” Mr.
Li hurriedly said: "Yes, it's fate, the two regiment commanders are noble people who forget things, I can clearly remember that you followed the horse brigade to the military headquarters back then, but I didn't expect that the cash should be impressive" Mr.
Li's words revealed the sourness of unwillingness, after so many years of mixing with the Kuomintang, he mixed with a deputy brigade commander in name only, and he knew this, and it was good to follow the old army commander at the beginning.
Zhou Wu looked at the look on Mr.
Li's face, and hurriedly said to him kindly: "Mr.
Li, come to me Zhou Wu this time, what are you doing?"
"Brigade seat, I figured it out and decided to join the PLA, but I am only a nominal deputy brigade commander in the Kuomintang army, and I can only bring about 20 of my cronies, I don't know if your army can take in people like me," Mr.
Li said.
Zhou Wu: "Of course welcome, we welcome the people who abandon the dark and turn to the light, no matter how many people he brings, we will welcome all of them, this time Mr.
Li came, I'm afraid it's not just for your own affairs" Zhou Wu had already learned the information reported by the underground party comrades in Jinan, so he said to Mr.
Li with a smile.
"Yes, Lao Lin, the brother-in-law of Commander Hu of the Ninety-sixth Army, asked me to bring you a message, saying that they are mobilizing Commander Hu to revolt, and I came here this time to hear your army's attitude towards the uprising of the Ninety-sixth Army."
Lao Li told the truth, since he has arrived here, it will not be kind to beat around the bush again, so let's go straight.
Zhou Wu said with a smile: "As I said just now, for those who are willing to revolt, no matter what we have done to hurt us in the past, we will not blame the past, and of course we are warmly welcome, in this way, here, I can give you a framework, please convey to Commander Hu and Comrade Lin, as long as the 96th Army can revolt on the Jinan front, we guarantee the safety of his life and property and all the officers and soldiers of the 96th Army, the troops will be reorganized into the People's Liberation Army on the spot, and the original officer establishment will remain unchanged." ” When Lao Li heard this, he was excited, this condition was much more favorable than he originally imagined, he originally thought that with Commander Hu's previous defection to the Japanese puppets during the Anti-Japanese War and the bad deeds of killing anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Shandong, the Communist Party would definitely not let him go, but after Zhou Wu's statement, Lao Li was relieved, even Commander Hu could enjoy this treatment, then he had never had any bad deeds, let alone worry.
"Okay, that's the best, I'll go back immediately and tell Commander Hu and Lao Lin" Lao Li is anxious, he wants to return to Jinan immediately, this kind of thing should be done quickly, the sooner the better, after a long time, it is easy to leak and be exposed, if those gendarmes and military commanders in Jinan City know, then Lao Li and Lao Lin will be finished.
Zhou Wu nodded: "Okay, then trouble Mr.
Li, if you can promote the battlefield uprising of the 96th Army this time, Mr.
Li has made a lot of contributions, our Communist Party is affectionate, and will never treat friends badly, you can rest assured of this" "Okay, let's not say much, let's leave" Mr.
Li gave up his hand to Zhou Wu, and immediately walked outside, Zhou Wu immediately sent a few guards to escort Mr.
Li out, for the sake of Mr.
Li's safety, Zhou Wu specially sent a reconnaissance company commander under the fat man to follow Mr.
Li to Jinan, covering as Mr.
Li's distant cousin, secretly protecting Mr.
Li's safety, before leaving, Zhou Wu specially told the company commander surnamed Zhou: "Company Commander Zhou, this mission is very important, you must ensure the safety of this Mr.
Li, This is related to the success or failure of our entire Jinan campaign, if necessary, you must protect this Mr.
Li with your own life, if there are any difficulties and requirements, just say it, I will try my best to do it" That company commander Zhou has a virtue with the fat man, as soon as he heard Zhou Wu speak like this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, commander, this matter will be handed over to me Old Zhou, and I will ensure that the task is completed."
With the protection of Lao Zhou's company commander as a scout, Lao Li naturally returned to Jinan City very safely, and didn't even have time to sit down and rest, so he immediately found Lao Lin and told Lao Lin about the situation.
I heard that the fight has begun on Tai'an's side, so there is no time to delay. ” When Lao Li heard this, he nodded hurriedly, anyway, he wanted to have a showdown with Commander Hu, so it was better to take advantage of this opportunity today to tell him clearly, he was already planning to get out, and it was a big deal that Commander Hu turned his face and arrested himself and sent him to the gendarmerie or the military commander Jinan Station, but he couldn't do it with his wife and brother-in-law In the evening, in the Hu Mansion, Commander Hu was eating at the table as usual, when Mrs.
Lin came over and said to Commander Hu: "Lao Hu, Zhiqiang and Lao Li are here" Commander Hu: "Oh, it just so happens, let them come in and have dinner together." ” Lao Lin and Lao Li came in and saluted Commander Hu, and Lao Hu hurriedly said to them: "Isn't this in the barracks, do you need to be so serious, sit down quickly, and drink with me." ” Lao Lin didn't move, and said with a straight body: "Commander, can Jinan City still be defended?"
When Lao Hu heard this, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up, looked carefully at his brother-in-law in front of him, and asked him: "Why do you want to ask what you want to do if you say this?"
Lao Lin saw that it was already like this, so let's say it directly: "Commander, Jinan City can't stand it anyway, and almost the entire East China army has been dispatched to besiege the lonely city of Jinan, and it is useless for Chief Ren Wang to have two trump cards under him, the army commander still considers the future of our more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the 96th Army, the civil war has been fought for almost three years, where is our way out, when we fought the little devils, you were also brilliant, but what was the result, if it wasn't for the surrounding troops who didn't see death and didn't save them, Ignoring the army commander, army commander, why should you endure humiliation and infamy, our Northwest Army has always been looked down upon by Lao Jiang, let us go when we are cannon fodder, but we don't have our share when we are rewarded for meritorious deeds, even the military salaries of our brothers are owed, and we have to solve the weapons and ammunition ourselves.
Speaking of this, Lao Lin stopped, he wanted to see how his brother-in-law reacted, Commander Hu sat down and was silent, Lao Lin's words poked at his sore spot, indeed, taking advantage of the war to weaken the ragtag army has always been Lao Jiang's forte, think back then, his Northwest Army boss, Han Fuyu, who was the chairman of Shandong Province at the time, was deceived by Lao Jiang to Luoyang to clean up because of the discarding of the Shandong defense line, Chief Han Fuyu suddenly turned back at the moment of the Central Plains War and helped Lao Jiang a lot, In the end, it ended up like this, when the news came, Lao Hu was a little disheartened, according to reason, because of the discarding of the Shandong defense line, the Japanese devils drove straight in, as the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, he has a great responsibility, but compared to the generals of the Central Army who abandoned the position in other places, Chairman Han is not guilty to death, what is infuriating is that after Lao Jiang's descendants abandoned the position and went back, not only did they not receive severe punishment, but they rose step by step, which is too much, should the Northwest Army be like this This time, his 96th Army was incorporated into the Jinan Pacification Command sequence of Chief Wang, responsible for the defense of the front line of the airport, and was at the forefront of Jinan's city defense.
Lao Lin saw that his brother-in-law was silent, and he didn't reprimand him in the same anger as he imagined, and felt that there was a drama in this matter, so he hurriedly made a look at his sister Ms.
Lin, Ms.
Lin understood, hurriedly stood up, and said to her husband: "Old Hu, Zhiqiang is right, you have to think about the brothers, the brothers all have families, everyone doesn't want to fight, when the devil was fought at the beginning, it was a national enemy and family hatred, then now what is it is the Chinese themselves to fight around, what is the benefit, you are already worthy of Lao Jiang, Back then, in order to be able to compete for territory with Shandong's Eighth Road, and endure the infamy of traitors to take refuge in the devil, didn't Dai Li personally send a telegram to let you do this, Lao Hu, stop working for Lao Jiang and his family, if you do this, you have to think about it for our mothers and sons. ” Commander Hu's son and daughter came over, lying on their father's lap and crying, Commander Hu's face was embarrassed and hesitant, at this time, Lao Li hurriedly picked up: "Military seat, with all due respect, our brothers don't want to die for Lao Jiang, our brigade is ready to revolt, you are our army commander, as long as you raise your arms, we will listen to you." ” Commander Hu heard Lao Li's words, and knew that the general trend had gone, Lao Li's brigade, his brother-in-law served as the chief of staff, and the deputy brigade commander Li in front of him also expressed his intention to revolt, what does that mean, his 96th Army has a total of four brigades, more than 20,000 horses, and a quarter of the men and horses are asking for an uprising, and they don't have the heart to fight, so how can this battle be fought well?
But the battlefield uprising is not as good as buying vegetables in the market, Commander Hu is still hesitating there, at this moment Lao Lin hurriedly glanced at Lao Li, Lao Li knew that it was time for him to say the conditions, and immediately said to Commander Hu again: "The military seat, the party has promised that as long as we can revolt, we will ensure the safety of the property and lives of all the officers and soldiers of our 96th Army, and reorganize it into the People's Liberation Army on the spot, and the original positions will remain unchanged." t1706231537:
