Chapter 594 Mr. Yan is too calculating
Outside Yangquan City, more than a thousand soldiers of the National Salvation Army sat on the ground for breakfast.
Above the city, hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers were nervously staring at the national rescue army outside the city.
The basin is surrounded by steaming canned pork stewed radish, with a thick layer of oil flowers floating on it. A strong meat fragrance can be smelled from a distance.
For the warriors, this is a rare delicacy. It usually takes ten days to eat it and is specially used for tooth-beating sacrifices.
But at this moment everyone has no appetite. They were chased by the National Rescue Army outside the city and ran back to the county town. Everyone has a temper.
The National Salvation Army chased after the city wall all the way, and was still eating in front of everyone at the foot of the city wall, with an attitude of not taking everyone seriously, and the provocation was too strong.
After being chased into the city, the soldiers were already full of anger and had nowhere to speak.
If you suffer such a cowardly after entering the city, you will feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, even if a plate of dragon meat was cut in front of you, everyone was not in the mood to eat it.
"Captain, what kind of war is this? It's so frustrating. If we continue like this, facing the provocation of the National Salvation Army, if we don't fight back or scold or say anything, the morale of the troops will be almost worn out!" The first battalion commander looked at the canned stewed radish and white flour steamed buns on the table. Although he was hungry, he had no appetite at all, and stared at the regiment commander and kept complaining.
The second battalion commander immediately agreed: "Bath Commander Li is right. The battle is too frustrating. Not only do we have any objections, but the soldiers below are also full of anger."
"I also feel that I can't continue to be so cowardly. I suggest that when the National Salvation Army attacks us with bare hands next time, I will take the Second Battalion to fight, and will not use weapons, and fight with the National Salvation Army with bare hands."
"I believe that our independent regiment will definitely repel the national rescue army and defend the county town!"
After hearing the complaints from his subordinates, the regiment commander shook his head unconsciously. The troops must have intelligence personnel lurking in the war zone. If they knew that the battle in front of them was an independent regiment and then the national rescue army was acting, it would not take long before the news would reach the war zone.
Only when everyone in the army felt that the National Salvation Army was fighting against the Independent Regiment and the two sides had completely fallen out, would the war zone believe that the National Salvation Army really turned against the Independent Regiment and became enemies, and the previous play was not in vain.
In order to prevent everyone from losing all their previous hard work and hard work, the regiment commander decided to keep it confidential and still did not intend to tell the two battalion commanders the truth.
He slapped the table in front of him and scolded: "What are you fighting? Don't know how to fight all day long, and you have to use your brain more."
"Do you think we can fight the National Savior Army under this situation?"
"The superior just sent a telegram: It said that the war zone assigned Yangquan City to the National Salvation Army, and handed over all the military and political power of Yangquan County to the National Salvation Army. Judging from this order, it is legitimate to enter Yangquan."
"If we fight with them, it will be more legitimate to enter Yangquan by the National Salvation Army, and we will also have to assume the responsibility of undermining the united front and taking the initiative to provoke war."
The first battalion commander was very unwilling to ask: "What should we do? Could it be that we just watched them enter the city and take Yangquan City away from us?"
"I'll spend time with them for the time being!" the leader thought for a while and replied.
"We must not fight, we are all friendly forces, and the National Salvation Army is a real unit to fight the Japanese. We have supported each other before in order to fight the Japanese. Although we have now built up the Liangzi for Yangquan County, it has not reached the point of life and death."
"We can have a quarrel with them or even become enemies, but we must not take action."
"Order the troops to be prepared to give up the county town. If the National Salvation Army really intends to compete with us at any cost, in order to avoid the fight between the two sides, we can only give up."
Seeing that the two battalion commanders subconsciously wanted to object, the regiment commander decisively raised his hand to stop him: "I took it for granted that this decision was not to leave Yangquan County. Our independent regiment was good at fighting sports wars. If you guard such a large county in Yangquan, there were only disadvantages but no benefits."
"And I'm convinced to give the county town to the National Savior Army."
"We can take Yangquan so smoothly, which is indeed their benefit. Moreover, Yangquan is now an empty city, so it doesn't matter whether it is given to them or not."
"As for the weapons, ammunition and food we seized in the county, we will not be distributed to them. That was exchanged for the soldiers with their lives. No matter how dissatisfied with us, the National Salvation Army cannot send it out."
Seeing that the two battalion commanders were still staring at themselves with a stunned expression, the regiment commander was not angry and ordered: "What are you still standing there? The food is put in front of you. Could it be that I still want me to feed you?"
"This is a good thing that can only be eaten with extra meals. If you don't eat it, you won't have any share."
"Eat immediately, and then go to the city to urge the soldiers to have a meal. If you really want to give up the county town, there are still many good things to take away in the city. At that time, every soldier will have to carry things, so how can he carry it if he doesn't eat enough?"
The first battalion commander finally reacted: "The regiment commander is right. Only by eating enough food can you be physically able to carry it and seize it. Since the county town cannot be saved, then we will empty the county town and let the National Salvation Army take down an empty city."
Outside the county town, the National Salvation Army also received a telegram from the war zone at the same moment.
Zhou Cheng looked at three lines at a glance, quickly scanned the contents of the contents and handed the telegram to the Chief of Staff, too lazy to read them carefully.
The purpose of sending this telegram in the war zone was too obvious, and it was clear that it wanted the National Savior Army to fight quickly. Zhou Cheng could roughly guess the specific content of the telegram without reading it.
Out of caution, Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu read the telegram content carefully, and then cursed: "Captain, the war zone's little thoughts on us and the Eighth Route Army are too obvious!"
"I know that we were not satisfied after fighting with the Eighth Route Army in the city, and I still want us to fight with the Eighth Route Army."
"If we weren't all our own people, I would have been jealous in the face of these conditions in the war zone."
"I'm jealous of this little benefit?" Zhou Cheng turned his eyes at Chen Zhengyu.
"Our Chief Yan is so good at calculating. When others use others, they will give us some practical benefits to the point of using them. When they come to him, they seem to have given us great benefits, both giving us power and tutoring. In fact, there is no meaningful benefit at all, all of which are worthless verbal promises."
"The order to place Shouyang and Yangquan into our defense zone was issued before. As for the formation of a garrison brigade, although the previous telegram did not state it clearly, the theater agreed that we would form some local troops without moving the main force, which was the same as this order."
"So the telegram sent just now from the war zone did not give us any other benefits except copying the contents of the previous telegram!"
"I want our National Saving Army to jump into the big pit they dug. Wouldn't that treat our National Saving Army as fools?"
"Chief of Staff, you call the war zone immediately: Our National Salvation Army will definitely take down Yangquan County and completely recover Yangquan and Shouyang."
"But the remaining territory of Yangquan and Shouyang are in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In order to prevent accidents from happening when the troops seize these places, our headquarters must draw enough troops to deter the Independent Regiment and force them out of their base."
"But in the battle to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, our troops suffered heavy losses. There were 1,500 serious injuries alone, and more than 3,000 minor wounded people, and urgently needed a large amount of medicine."
"If we cannot restore these wounded people to health as soon as possible, we will not be able to draw so many troops to deter the National Rescue Army. We can only temporarily postpone the acquisition of the Eighth Route Army base, and wait until the troops recover their strength in the future before finding ways to occupy the entire Yangquan and Shouyang!"
"Send the telegram now. Our National Salvation Army is not a fool. If we want us to jump into the pit on our own initiative, the war zone must bring out some benefits that will make us moved, otherwise we will never do stupid things that will cut off our backs."
The Chief of Staff at the War Zone Command was in a bad mood as soon as he saw the telegram sent by the National Salvation Army.
If Zhou Cheng stood in front of him, what he wanted to do the most was to pry Zhou Cheng's head open and see what was growing inside. Every time he could ask the war zone at the best time.
The Chief of Staff knew that in order to force the National Rescue Army to fight with the Eighth Route Army, the Commander-in-Chief would definitely accept the National Rescue Army to blackmail them and give them some substantial benefits.
But this time, what the National Salvation Army wants is medicine, not oceans or weapons and equipment.
On the battlefield, not only did the national rescue army lack medicine, but the war zone also lacked.
If the limited medicine is given to the National Salvation Army, other troops should be given less, especially the direct troops that occupy a large part of the drug distribution.
The National Salvation Army asked the war zone that there were thousands of doses of medicines to treat, and it was definitely a lion's mouth. The commander-in-chief would definitely not give them so much.
As for how much to give, the commander-in-chief has the final say.
The Chief of Staff thought for a moment and ran towards the commander-in-chief's office with a telegram...
Outside Yangquan City, Zhou Cheng received a call from the war zone one hour later.
He only looked at his face and was covered with anger. He handed the telegram to the Chief of Staff and cursed: "The war zone is too stingy. He only gave us 500 servings of medicine. He cut off our asking price by 90% when he opened his mouth. He didn't even bargain like this even if he sent beggars!"
Chen Zhengyu was also very annoyed. The numbers on the call were too different from the numbers they expected, so he would definitely not agree.
Moreover, the National Salvation Army asked the National Salvation Army that the drugs were to be returned from the war zone were divided into half of the drugs. In this way, the National Salvation Army could only get 250 servings of the drugs, which was definitely a drop in the bucket for the huge wounded soldiers of the National Salvation Army.
Immediately answered: "I will send a telegram to the war zone now, with less than 4,000 servings of medicine. Don't even talk about this matter. Our National Salvation Army can only postpone the attack on Yangquan!"
Zhou Cheng nodded: "Since the war zone wants to bargain with us, let's talk to see who is more anxious!"
At this moment, fake news spread by the Japanese army also spread.
The National Salvation Army, Independent Regiment, Theater Command... received this information almost at the same time.
In the county town, the regiment commander thought about the purpose of the Japanese when he saw the information sent by the political commissar.
He snorted coldly and cursed: "The Japanese devils are cruel enough to fabricate such a lie to wrongly accuse our independent regiment. Fortunately, the National Salvation Army and us are both our own people. Otherwise, after they heard that we seized a large amount of medicine and ocean from the county town, they would definitely fight their best to attack us."
