Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 446 The Man Jiang Can't Get

On this trip south to Luoyang, apart from Zhou Weihan and his party, there were also Fan Hanjie, commander of the [-]th Army, Pang Bingxun, commander of the [-]th Army, and Sun Dianying, commander of the New Fifth Army.

Fan Hanjie waited in Changzhi specifically, intending to go with Zhou Weihan and others.

Rested in Licheng for one night, and joined Fan Hanjie in Changzhi the next day. They traveled all the way south, passing through Gaoping, Yangcheng, Jiyuan, Mengxian, and finally crossing the river in Mengjin.

On the afternoon of December 12, everyone traveled day and night, and it took three full days to reach their destination, Luoyang.

During the past few days on the road, Fan Hanjie showed great kindness, and he opened his mouth to be Brother Zhou, very enthusiastic.

"Brother Zuo, brother Zhou, there is a Zhuangyuan Restaurant in Luoyang, which is famous for its baked carp noodles, let's try it?" Fan Hanjie said.

"Mr. Fan, you've been on your way. Comrades are tired. Besides, it's getting late. Let's take a rest first!" The deputy chief of staff declined Fan Hanjie's invitation.

"Okay then, let's see you tomorrow!"

The generals of the national army had their own residences in Luoyang City, and Zhou Weihan and his party went to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Luoyang.

In the Luoyang office.

The deputy chief of staff didn't bother to rest, and directly asked Director Yuan of the office about the situation in Luoyang.

"This morning, the representatives of the national government headed by Qian Dadu just arrived in Luoyang. According to reports from the comrades watching at the gate of the city, there are quite a few people accompanying them!"

"Also, in the past two days, the generals of the various armies under the First War Zone have come to Luoyang. This time the Nationalist Government has made a lot of noise!"

The deputy chief of staff nodded after hearing this: "It's normal. The national army in the first war zone won a big victory and regained a lot of lost ground. Of course, the national government will do something special!"

"There is a special person in the entourage!"

"Who?"

"Wen Yan!"

"What? He's here too. Isn't he serving in the Military Command?" The deputy chief of staff's voice suddenly cooled down.

"I haven't figured out the purpose of the Nationalist government sending him here yet, so I guess I didn't hold back my fart!"

"Hey, the soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil, see the trick!"

After finishing speaking, the deputy chief of staff pointed to Zhou Weihan who had been silent all the time: "Old Yuan, this is the Zhou Weihan you have been talking about, this time I brought it to you!"

"Hey, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Who else can be so young except Comrade Zhou Weihan!" Director Yuan approached him kindly and shook hands.

Zhou Weihan then gave a military salute: "Director Yuan!"

"Hey, what's your name, Director Yuan, Comrade Weihan, don't think you're young, but I'm only six, seven, eight or nine years older than you!"

Director Yuan's joke made everyone present burst into laughter.

Early the next morning, a staff officer from the First Theater Command rushed to the office and informed Zhou Weihan and others to go to the Political Training Office of the Theater Command.

Zhou Weihan said in his heart, the meat scene is finally here.

The meeting room of the Political Training Office.

Jiang's representative is Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant office, Yu Mingguang, the director of the Political Training Department of the First War Zone, and Wen Wei, a special commissioner of the military command.

Zhou Weihan and the others were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. Fortunately, there was a special person leading the way in front, so they were not embarrassed.

Seeing the deputy chief of staff push the door open, Qian Dajun showed great enthusiasm: "*Chief of Staff, you are keeping us waiting, hurry up and sit down!"

"This is the famous Zhou."

When Zhou Weihan arrived, Qian Dajun got stuck for a while. This is also the current situation of the Eighth Route Army. Only a very small number of generals in the Eighth Route Army have positions in the national army, and most of them are black households.

"Director Qian, just call me Zhou Weihan!" Zhou Weihan said proactively.

"Hey, counting from Mr. Zhuo Yuan, speaking of which, we are still of the same generation, so hurry up and sit down!"

In the conference room, the three members of the national government sat on one side, and the deputy chief of staff and Zhou Weihan sat on the other side. The two sides were clearly separated.

The deputy chief of staff has been staring at the special commissioner of the military command. Qian Dajun smiled when he saw this, and introduced himself: "* Chief of Staff, this should be an old acquaintance of your Eighth Route Army, and now he is in the military command!"

There was a lot of disdain between the words, and he didn't even mention his name.

The deputy chief of staff laughed: "Yes, I used to be revolutionary comrades, how could I not know him?"

Wen Wei, who had been sitting upright all the time, showed a very calm expression. He didn't change his expression in the face of ridicule, and then nodded to Zhou Weihan

After some tit-for-tat politeness, Qian Dajun took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I don't know what opinion your army has on the reorganization plan. We have great sincerity this time. The principal also told me repeatedly before I came that we must facilitate it." This matter!"

"The Chairman can expand the Eighth Route Army's division by one more division. We wish for that, but we don't know who will command the Ninety-Fourth Division?"

All the people present are fine people, so it's hard not to understand what it means.

Qian Dajun had long expected that the Eighth Route Army would not easily give up the command of the Ninety-Fourth Division, which was also the basis for the two sides to sit down and negotiate.

Then he said: "I have already said that we have great sincerity. After the reorganization of the [-]th Division, of course it will be under the command of the Eighteenth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, but isn't the Eighteenth Army also under the command of the Military Commission? "

"Naturally!" the deputy chief of staff nodded in agreement.

Then the two sides talked about the military pay and supplies in the [-]th Division.

Just as what was said before, the deputy chief of staff used Yang Han's 280th regiment as an excuse to try his best to fight for military supplies.

The two sides wrangled for more than half an hour, and finally decided that the 280th Regiment was still in the [-]th Division. However, the National Government did not provide weapons and equipment, but it could provide full military pay and daily supplies.

After gaining the initial initiative in the negotiation, the deputy chief of staff was very curious. He didn't expect Qian Dajun to agree so "easily". One must know that the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army had stopped paying their salaries a long time ago.

The other two people who were present at the Nationalist Government were also wondering why Jiang, who had always scoured the Eighth Route Army, was surprisingly generous this time.

Qian Dajun had some vague guesses in his heart. On the one hand, the Zhou family had a lot of power in the national government, and Jiang relied heavily on it. On the other hand, every time Jiang mentioned Zhou Weihan, he would always mention Chen Geng, who Zhou Weihan compared with the brigade commander.

In fact, Jiang has always been obsessed with the brigade commander, but the brigade commander is destined to be a man that Jiang cannot get.

"* Chief of Staff, after the formation of the [-]th Division's troops, there is no need to change their outfits, and they can still wear the Eighth Route Army uniforms, but your political workers cannot be placed in the troops!"

"We are going to set up a political training office in the [-]th Division. I wonder if you agree?" Qian Dajun finally handed over his trump card after his previous gestures.

After hearing this, the deputy chief of staff turned cold. Political cadres are the foundation of the Eighth Route Army's control of the troops, not to mention the establishment of a political training office in the troops.

"Haha, Director Qian was joking. In my Eighth Route Army, the existence of political cadres has always been a tradition. How can it be easily abolished?"

　This is from yesterday, kind brother, I made it up
