Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 192 The Argument at the Negotiating Table

In the afternoon of the same day, the various units of the independent detachment arrived at the scheduled location according to the plan, and only waited for a full-scale attack on the [-]th Army tomorrow morning.

However, the Zhu Huaibing Department of the 281th Army knew nothing about the battle that took place in Yuquanling that afternoon. Zhu Huaibing still dreamed that the [-]st Regiment fought well and would bring Zhao Keli and others back.

It's ridiculous to say that after the negotiating team sent by Zhu Huaibing headed by Chief of Staff Li Bingwen set off from the position along the meditation room, they were actually escorted by the Eighth Route Army and headed northwest all the way to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

"Uncle, the battle is imminent, why is there no trace of the main force of the Eighth Route Army along the way?" Li Weidong, Li Bingwen's nephew, asked.

"You, you are good at eating, drinking, and having fun. Marching and fighting are shit!" Li Bingwen scolded.

"Tainan is located in the southern part of the Taihang Mountains. It's easy to hide thousands of people on any hill. We are escorted by the Eighth Route Army along the way. He is stupid. He took you into the crowd?" Li Bingwen glanced at his useless nephew, Rolled his eyes.

"When you arrive at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, remember to keep your mouth shut no matter what happens, and don't be too affectionate with the Eighth Route Army, do you understand?" Li Bingwen asked.

That night, in Yetao Town, fifteen miles north of Miaozhuang.

The independent detachment headquarters and its subordinate regiments and artillery battalions are temporarily stationed here.

Before the battle, everyone in the independent detachment looked very relaxed, and there was no sense of tension that the battle was imminent.

"The former enemy headquarters sent a telegram that our Eighth Route Army units have arrived at the designated location, and the Zhu Huaibing delegation has arrived at the headquarters Wangjiayu!"

"The war is imminent, and Zhu Huaibing is still in the mood to negotiate. He is really playing with our Eighth Route Army like a three-year-old child. He started the incident, but he will not decide whether it will end!" Zhou Weihan said coldly.

The chips on the negotiating table are obtained by fighting, and what cannot be obtained in war cannot be obtained on the negotiating table.

From Gu Weijun's argument at the Paris peace conference, to the Chongqing negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the performance of Syrian diplomats at the United Nations, all of them prove that everything is supported by the barrel of a gun.

Stop fighting with war, talk about breaking the sky, and only when you win can you stop fighting.

In Wangjiayu, Wuxiang County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is still brightly lit.

In order to fully demonstrate the sincerity of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy chief of staff went to greet him in person.

As soon as the two sides met, the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious, and there was no sense of tension before.

"Chief Li, welcome to our Eighth Route Army headquarters!" the deputy chief of staff said enthusiastically.

"Chief of Staff Zuo is too polite. It is really helpless to visit late at night. I believe your army can also understand our sincerity in handling the conflict between the two sides!" Li Bingwen said with a smile on his face.

Li Bingwen was not in a hurry to reveal the true purpose of the negotiation, and the deputy chief of staff also intended to play Tai Chi with the other party.

"Chief of Staff, I will first arrange for someone to set up a radio station and report the situation to the military seat!" said one of the negotiating team.

Afterwards, the deputy chief of the general staff made special arrangements for the Ninety-seventh Army negotiating team to live.

Inside the house, the chiefs of staff of both sides had another polite exchange.

Li Bingwen saw that the deputy chief of staff was impeccable, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Ahem, Chief of Staff Zuo, it is really helpless to visit your army this time. Li came here with the sincerity of the military seat. Just today, Wu'an There is a garrison of the 281st regiment of our army in Yuquanling in the territory. Due to a misunderstanding, you and I started fighting. Unfortunately, several officers of our army fell into the hands of your army.”

Li Bingwen spoke beautifully, but half-spoken, waiting for the deputy chief of staff to pick him up.

"Haha, Chief of Staff Li, you also know that since the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River eastward, its troops have expanded rapidly, and some small units are not included in the establishment of my Eighteenth Army."

"I'm dissatisfied with you saying that many troops may only be acting in the name of our Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese banner. The matter about Yuquanling mentioned by your army still needs to be investigated!"

At this time, a person pushed the door in and said proudly: "Our department was ordered by the Military and Political Department to deploy and defend Tainan, and was ordered to establish an administrative office in Tainan. It has the right to deal with all lawbreakers in Tainan."

"Dissidents in the Yuquanling area openly attacked our army officers, which is really provoking the authority of the national government. If they are not affiliated with your army, then they should use thunder."

Just now, hello, I'm so harmonious, the atmosphere was interrupted, and there was a moment of silence
Li Bingwen cursed inwardly, Zhu Huaibing had to send this idiot over, and then changed the topic: "Director Zhu, how do you call back the military seat!"

Zhu Zhixian is the deputy director of the Tainan Administrative Office and Zhu Huaibing's brother. He has the arrogance unique to state officials in this period, and he doesn't like the general miscellaneous armed forces, let alone the Eighth Route Army who have different political views from the Nationalist Government?

"Hmph, Chief of Staff Li, this is the end of the conversation, what more do I need to say?" Zhu Zhixian said with a cold snort.

"Haha, my Eighth Route Army is very sincere about the negotiation between the two sides on the Tainan matter. Previously, your army ignored the anti-Japanese national united front in the Tainan area.

Cutting off our transportation supplies, destroying the anti-Japanese regime, and killing our Eighth Route Army soldiers and their families, these actions are really a shame to the regular army of the Nationalist Government. Can your army turn a blind eye? "

"Repaying grievances with virtue, our Eighth Route Army can do it, but when bayonets are popular on the battlefield, all the commanders and fighters of our Eighth Route Army are also fearless!" The deputy chief of the general staff stood up and slapped the table.

Although the Buddha is kind and kind, he also has the wrath of thunder.

The deputy chief of the general staff has experienced more than ten years of revolutionary career and has been battle-tested. How can his aura be compared to that of a bureaucrat of the national government.

Zhu Zhixian, who was still aggressive just now, was stunned and pointed at the deputy chief of staff tremblingly, but couldn't say a word.

"Everyone is tired from running around, let's rest early, we can talk about something tomorrow!" the chief of staff said coldly, and then walked away.

Headquarters conference room.

The boss and the teacher were playing poker, and the deputy chief of staff pushed the door open.

"Hey, you're back so soon!" The teacher raised his head and said.

"I made a bet with Lao Liu. He said that you would come back in at least an hour! I said you would be back in half an hour! How about it, Lao Liu, I won the bet!" The boss said with a smile.

"Even if you won this time, isn't it just a pocket watch, just give it to you!" Mr. Liu took out a pocket watch from his pocket and put it in front of the boss.

"Okay, I got angry at the National Army Negotiating Team, but you two bet me!"

"Haha, Old Liu, although our chief of staff is usually gentle and refined, he has a strong side. I don't believe you can suffer from the negotiating team!" The boss said with a smile.

"The negotiating team of the Ninety-seventh Army does not have the slightest sincerity, and a war is inevitable!" the deputy chief of staff said with a long sigh.

"Then beat him away and hurt him, let them know that our Eighth Route Army is no longer the Red Army that was chased away by the national army a few years ago."

"Our Eighth Route Army yearns for peace, but never fears war! Peace is fought!" the boss said with high spirits.
