Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 426 Negotiations
Due to the urgent military situation, the chief of staff immediately took two guards to Xi'an to find the stubborn army commander.

At this time, the commander of the stubborn army was in Xi'an, and he was known as the "parachutist".

But this is just the name of the recalcitrant army. This parachutist bent the law for personal gain in Xi'an, was corrupt, whoring and gambling, and was called a "corrupt general" by the people.

This is the case with the recalcitrant army. They are said to be "only allowed to corrupt, not allowed to deteriorate." Corruption can be said to be a normal state.

The reason is that corruption does not affect the rule of the stubborn army, and the stubborn army needs these local warlords who can restrain one army, so as long as they do not "deteriorate" such as betrayal, the top leaders of the stubborn army will turn a blind eye to this only eye.

The former commander of the First War Zone of the Stubborn Army was dismissed by Chongqing because of the defeat of Zhongtiao Mountain.

"Flying General" therefore succeeded the commander of the first theater and also the commander of the Hebei-Chahar theater, and fully commanded the first theater to confront the devils in the Yellow River area.

At this time, the "parachutist" was walking back and forth anxiously in the headquarters.

The "parachutist" graduated from the Army Lecture Hall, a general who fought all the way from the warlord melee, he knows what the stubborn army is like at this time.

The only thing the stubborn army can rely on is the natural danger of the Yellow River, but the Yellow River within his jurisdiction is hundreds of kilometers long, and the first war zone only has a mere 10 people, and a considerable part of them are remnants of defeated soldiers and defeated generals. How can they stop it? Stop the devil's attack?

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army is eager to negotiate with the stubborn army.

At this time, the battle situation is still unclear, and no one knows whether the devils will focus on dealing with Mao Xiong in the northeast or attacking the stubborn army in the south. This is the best time to negotiate with the stubborn army.

Otherwise, once it is confirmed that the devils will move north to prepare to deal with Mao Xiong, the recalcitrant army will not be in danger of being attacked by the devils, and it will be difficult to negotiate and obtain any benefits.

The parachutist knew in his heart that although the recalcitrant army had a favorable location to deploy defenses along the Yellow River, the devils possessed aircraft and heavy artillery. When the time comes, under the suppression of the firepower of these equipment, the devils will carry out a forced crossing... With the recalcitrant army's firepower and morale, it is likely that they will be killed in one blow. crash.

In fact, what the parachutist fears most is not the frontal firepower of the devils.

The parachutist is corrupt, but he still has a lot of research on the devil's tactics. After all, this is a matter of whether he can carry his head on his shoulders.

For example, the parachutist had studied the tactics of the devils to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, and knew that the devils would send a large number of spies to infiltrate the stubborn army's defense line before the battle.

These spies include devils who learn Chinese and puppet soldiers.

They disguise themselves as businessmen, common people, tourists, etc., and cooperate with the devil's firepower to attack inside and outside during the war... Even if there is a natural danger of the Yellow River, so what?Zhongtiao Mountain is known as the "Oriental Madinat", isn't it also captured by the devils in just over ten days?

Just when the parachutist was fidgeting like an ant on a hot pot, he heard the adjutant report: "Commander, the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Route Army is here to see you!"

The parachutist was taken aback, the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Route Army?See you now...

Immediately, the parachutist couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Please hurry up! Don't neglect!"

The parachutist is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, knowing that the Eighth Route Army's contact with him at this time must have something to do with Zhongtiao Mountain.

The stubborn army is not good at fighting guerrillas, not good at wreaking havoc in devil-occupied areas, and even less good at dealing with devils in mountainous areas.

If the Eighth Route Army can gain momentum in Zhongtiao Mountain, it will obviously be of great benefit to the defense of the Yellow River in the first theater.

What's more, if the devils' attention can be turned to the Eighth Route Army that wiped out the occupied areas... then more time can be bought for the first theater.

Therefore, this negotiation actually reached a consensus before the chief of staff stepped into the headquarters.

Wang Xuexin, who had already returned to the three stores, received a telegram from the headquarters not long after: "Everything is going well, the stubborn army has agreed to cooperate with our army!"

Wang Xuexin nodded in satisfaction.

This verifies the saying: "There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

When interests change, former enemies can turn into friends, and friends can turn into enemies.

At this time, the stubborn army is only temporarily becoming a "friend".

Then, as the commander of the first war zone, the parachutist issued orders to the recalcitrant stragglers stranded in Zhongtiao Mountain by radio.

The order is both national justice and a cooperative war of resistance. All stubborn soldiers are ordered to obey the command of the Eighth Route Army and persist in fighting the enemy. Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot to death!

It also ordered those who fell into the grass to be bandits to return to the building immediately and leave alone, otherwise they would be punished as rebels!
With these two orders, the situation on Zhongtiao Mountain stabilized soon.

Because in this troubled world, everyone hopes to find a big tree to lean on. At this time, there are three forces in China, one is the stubborn army, the other is the Eighth Route Army, and the third is the devils.

If you don't want to belong to the devil as a traitor, then you can only choose the first two.

At this time, the former two cooperated in the war of resistance, and the Eighth Route Army was also an expert in guerrilla warfare in mountainous areas, so they could lead them to deal with the devils in this area.

Some of these bandits are very tough and unwilling to submit...

This group of people thinks that it is more fun to occupy the mountain as the king, and no one can do anything to them, and they can go out to plunder from time to time.

If it is incorporated into the Eighth Route Army, it will only be able to live a life of clear soup and little water.

However, the chief made a decisive decision and ordered the annihilation of a bandit armed force that night and shot the captured prisoners on the spot.

This battle shocked the other bandits in an instant.

The bandits soon realized that there was no way out if this went on, so some of them surrendered to the devils and some to the Eighth Route Army.

The part that surrendered to the devils, in the final analysis, still couldn't bear the hardship of the Eighth Route Army, so they chose to side with the devils.

This is not a pity. If these people surrender to the Eighth Route Army, they will become traitors sooner or later.

At least Zhongtiaoshan has no grass on the surface, and it will not make the Eighth Route Army in a dilemma.

Wang Xuexin is quite satisfied with this result, because it means that the Eighth Route Army has more than 2 troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, which is already equal to the total strength of the devils in Zhongtiao Mountain.

If Wang Xuexin knew more about the history of the Eighth Route Army’s war of resistance, he would have known that this had advanced the situation of the Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiaoshan by two years:
In 41, only a few personnel of the Eighth Route Army entered Zhongtiao Mountain due to the double blockade of devils and recalcitrant troops.

In 42, the Eighth Route Army recovered from the blockade, and only then began to open up a base in Zhongtiao Mountain.

It was not until 43, after the unremitting efforts of the Eighth Route Army and the payment of a considerable price, that the armed forces behind the enemy in Zhongtiaoshan had a small scale.

However, at this time, just over two months after the end of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Wang Xuexin took advantage of the stubborn army's fear of devils to pull up a group of veterans and a fairly high level of armed forces in Zhongtiao Mountain. force.
