Chapter 392 The Attitude About This Matter
Unlike Tang Huaiyuan who came to his senses after being reminded by his own chief of staff, Brigadier Chen is such a shrewd person. It can be said that Gao Hongming understood his intention as soon as he said that he wanted to withdraw his troops.

After seeing Tang Huaiyuan being dragged away by Ge Huaiyi, he also dragged Gao Hongming into a room, and asked sternly, "Commander Gao...you tell me the truth, is the reason why you propose to withdraw troops at this time because of insufficient supplies or is it true?" Don't want to fight anymore?"

"There are two reasons."

After Gao Hongming took out the cigarette and lit it, he left the cigarette case and lighter on the table, and said a little depressed: "I just realized now that I still think too much about human nature.

Originally, I thought that as long as the Liantai militia, the Eighth Route Army, and the Third Army gathered together, it would not be a problem to hold the Japanese army for ten days and a half months. One is wiped out, but it shouldn't be a big problem to eat 6 or [-] of them.

But you have also seen the problem. These people in the First War Zone made a good promise on the surface, but they sold us out later.We have been fighting here for more than 20 days, and it seems that tomorrow will be June, but there is no sign of reinforcements.

So I understand it, that Chief He just wants to see us fight off with the little devils, and then they will take advantage of it behind. "

Brigadier Chen listened quietly to Gao Hongming's complaints, took a cigarette and lit one for himself, and smiled after he finished speaking: "Commander Gao, in fact, what you said, I was the head of the headquarters before I came here. I already guessed it, so you don’t have to be surprised.”

"Guess it?" Gao Hongming looked at him in surprise, "Since you guessed it, why did you agree to join me in this battle that is of no benefit to the Eighth Route Army?"

"Who said there is no benefit?" Brigadier Chen laughed heartily: "The program of our Communists at this stage is to eliminate civil strife, overthrow warlords, establish domestic peace; overthrow the oppression of international imperialism, and achieve the complete independence of the Chinese nation. .

Now that the Japanese invaders are invading our great rivers and mountains, shouldn’t it be right for us to wipe out the invaders?As long as anyone's goal is the same as ours, then he is our friend, and your leader Gao is our friend. Isn't it right to help friends? "

Gao Hongming, who is used to seeing intrigues and deceptions in later generations, looked at money, looked at Brigadier Chen's firm and pure eyes, and immediately understood that what the other party said was indeed from the bottom of his heart. There is no other reason for the head to shed blood... It is nothing more than the firm belief and goal in their hearts.

He rubbed his nose and calmed down. Before Gao Hongming could speak, Brigadier Chen said again: "Our problem now is that the Japanese have gotten angry with us these days, and we want to withdraw from Zhongtiao Mountain safely. It's not an easy task, if you don't do it, you will be stopped by the devils."

"That's a problem."

Gao Hongming also thought about this issue, and he suddenly asked: "Brigade Commander Chen, what do you think if we inform the little devils through a clear telegram that we are withdrawing our troops and tell them to stay honest and not move around so as not to cause misunderstandings?" Sample?"

"What... clear telegram to inform the Japanese?"

ten minutes later

When Gao Hongming told Tang Huaiyuan of this decision, Tang Huaiyuan almost jumped up, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

"Brother Gao, don't you have a fever? Can you tell the Japanese about this thing? If you do this wrongly, the whole army will be wiped out!"

Looking at Tang Huaiyuan who was about to jump up, Gao Hongming suddenly asked: "Brother Tang, let me ask you, even if we don't tell, can the withdrawal of troops be hidden from the Japanese?"

"This……"

Tang Huaiyuan was dumb for a moment, and then he realized it.

The retreat involving [-] to [-] troops caused such a big move that it is impossible to hide it from the Japanese. It is better to tell the little devil openly than to retreat secretly that I am going to retreat. If you are not convinced, follow up and have a look Whether I'm afraid of you or not, I'll fight another battle at worst.

Seeing that Tang Huaiyuan didn't speak, Gao Hongming knew he wanted to understand.

"Brother Tang, the current situation is that since our actions can't be hidden from the Japanese at all, it's better to tell him openly that I'm going to retreat, and you should give me some insight as soon as possible. If we really dare to use our brains, we can make it clear Cars and horses do it again, let's see who can't stand it first!"

Tang Huaiyuan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "It's not impossible to try this method, but I'm worried that this move will stimulate the First War Zone and Chongqing."

"Stimulated to the First War Zone?" Brigadier Chen couldn't help laughing out loud, "Tang Commander... With all due respect, do you think we will be afraid of stimulating the First War Zone?"

Gao Hongming also shook his head secretly, this is a matter of position.

Even if the third army is a miscellaneous army, it is a serious national army. No matter what, it must obey the command of the first war zone. Unlike the Liantai militia and the Eighth Route Army, although they are nominally affiliated to the national army, they have great autonomy. right.

Just like now, if I feel upset, I can pat my ass and leave, but the third army is different. No matter whether it is establishment, supply, or command, this army is inseparable from the Nationalist Government. Naturally, I can't do whatever I want .

Tang Huaiyuan also realized that he asked a stupid question, shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "That's all, since you have already decided, according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, we just obey.

It's just that after leaving Zhongtiao Mountain, I'm afraid we will have to go our separate ways. "

Gao Hongming noticed that Tang Huaiyuan's face was full of melancholy and helplessness when he said the latter.

He smiled bluntly: "Brother Tang, you don't have to be sad. It's just a short separation. Maybe one day we will gather together to fight devils again. Why do you have to act like a child?"

"Hahaha... It's me, Tang, who is wrong."

Tang Huaiyuan also laughed. Just as everyone was about to continue discussing how to retreat, Dabao suddenly ran over, walked up to Gao Hongming and said in a low voice: "Master, more than 20 minutes ago, our brothers from the Second Battalion and the First Company were in the canteen behind. Fighting with those American soldiers who just arrived."

"what……"

"The Americans weren't hurt, were they?"

"Why did they fight?"

"Did our people win or lose?"

Although Dabao's voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly. Just after he finished speaking, Tang Huaiyuan, Brigadier Chen and Gao Hongming asked almost simultaneously.

From here, we can see the attitude of the three people towards this matter.
