Chapter 271 Principal Chang’s Response
Gu Changfeng didn't know that the Eighth Route Army had actually reported him out. If they knew...
Of course it doesn't matter. He just wants to be famous. There are so few talented people.
Although there are teachers supported by the Eighth Route Army, their task is to teach and recognize characters. It takes time for the selected students to learn, so they cannot be used in a short time.
In fact, there was another person who knew about it. He received the news as soon as Yanzhou connected electricity to the whole country.
He had mixed feelings about the victory in Laiyuan, especially when the Wuhan campaign was not looking optimistic, the Eighth Route Army had quietly wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese devils.
You should know that the total number of troops on both sides in the Battle of Wuhan was more than 140 million, more than in the Battle of Shanghai.
Although the Kuomintang has killed many enemies so far, its casualties are still far less than those in the Laiyuan Campaign.
How many people did Gu Changfeng and the Eighth Route Army have to wipe out the Japanese regiment? In the Battle of Wuhan, the National Army had four or five times the number of Japanese troops, and invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but they still couldn't defeat the Japanese.
Of course, the nature of the matters is different, so we cannot make such a comparison.
After all, the Battle of Wuhan was a national war, a battle for the country's destiny against the Japanese, and it had greater strategic significance.
.........
When he finished reading the entire notice, his mood instantly became worse, and he muttered Gu Changfeng's name.
With the Battle of Shanghai just around the corner, how could he not know Gu Changfeng? He was so familiar with him that he couldn't be more familiar with him.
He had planned to hide it as a trump card before, but he didn't expect so many things to happen later.
Especially the incident of kidnapping the commander-in-chief made him feel resistant to Gu Changfeng.
Although the result is good, such lawless behavior, if you really work under him and something goes wrong, will he imitate the Xi'an Incident?
So he gave up and just ignored it, pretending that this person didn't exist.
What he didn't expect was that this name appeared in front of him again, and it was actually about cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to capture Laiyuan City.
Regret?
That's not the case.
But he felt really uncomfortable, as if he had adopted a child, but one day he didn't want the child anymore. As a result, the child ran away to another family, achieved great things, and then came back and slapped his face.
Are you feeling upset?
This will definitely happen!
"Fishermen and farmers, let's also report the great victory in Laiyuan," after thinking for a while, he finally decided to flatter himself.
You have to know that this was near October of 38, and the word most heard by Chinese people was "fall".
After more than a year of fighting with the Japanese, the situation in North China, East China, and now Central China is not optimistic.
When the people woke up every day, the most common news they heard was either the fall of the city, defeat in battle, casualties, or the annihilation of an entire division.
Even some troops that had lost their combat effectiveness were captured by the devils and turned around to massacre Chinese people, calling it "saving the country in a roundabout way."
If your ancestors knew about this shameless thing, they would jump out and give you two hoes...
Therefore, this victory is not only needed by the Chinese military and civilians, but also by him.
But he couldn't say anything because he was very clear about the current situation in Wuhan.
After reading it carefully, Dai Yunong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yanzhou was indeed very attentive when he sent the telegram to the whole country. Except for the lack of detailed information, he reported everything else, including the battle losses, captured items, and which Japanese regiments were involved. Everything was clearly stated in the telegram.
If they were to operate, not to mention multiplying the number, at least they would have to wipe out more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers.
It's normal for exciting things to have some water in them.
After reading the telegram, Dai Yunong asked carefully:
"How should we deal with Gu Changfeng?"
As the head of the intelligence department, he had read all the previous intelligence and was naturally familiar with Gu Changfeng.
"Let's ignore him for now. Right now, our energy should still be focused on the Battle of Wuhan. If we can kill more Japanese in this battle, it will be of great significance to our subsequent deployment."
He really doesn't have the energy to pay attention to other things at the moment. The Battle of Wuhan is too important.
After this battle, whether the Japanese still have the ability to continue their large-scale invasion of China depends on this battle.
Indeed, after the Battle of Wuhan, although the Japanese successfully captured Wuhan, their strategic failure forced them to switch to strategic defense in central China.
This battle bought the Kuomintang a lot of time to transfer factories, schools, supplies and reorganize the army.
It also attracted widespread attention and sympathy internationally, and at the same time aroused the enthusiasm of the people across the country to fight against the Japanese aggression, with extremely far-reaching impact.
Tang Shengzhi also paid attention to this good news.
After the Battle of Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi realized his own shortcomings and resolutely chose to resign and return home.
After returning to Hunan, Tang Shengzhi was not idle either. He set up factories, solved people's livelihood problems, and raised supplies for the war of resistance.
After all, he has a long history in the Kuomintang. Although he resigned and returned to his hometown, he still did a good job in this regard and many people listened to him.
"Renli, this guy made a big move, annihilating an entire regiment of the Japanese. I knew this guy wouldn't sit idle, haha!"
Tang Shengzhi was very happy to read the full version of the telegram. He was very happy to hear that "you will soon hear my name appear in the land of China".
This sentence is still vivid in my mind.
"Father is so happy, does it seem like there's someone he knows in the telegram?"
Tang Renli looked at his father with a smile. It was rare for him to see his father so happy after coming back for a few months.
"Look, the one cooperating with the Eighth Route Army inside is Gu Xiaozi, the one who held my father hostage."
Tang Shengzhi handed the telegram to his son with a smile on his face.
"So it was him. If it weren't for him, my father would have been in trouble."
Tang Renli knew very well what his father had experienced in Jinling. If it had not been for this accidental encounter, his father would not only be infamous for eternity, but would also have been uneasy for the rest of his life. So he was very grateful to Gu Changfeng for his help.
Tang Shengzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "This guy is currently in Hebei, belonging to the Second War Zone, adjacent to Yan Laoxi and the Eighteenth Route Army."
"This location is well chosen. Several forces are intertwined, so some people will have to think twice before making any move!"
Tang Renli looked at the telegram in his hand and agreed with a smile, "Father is right."
Tang Shengzhi thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Renli, please go to Hebei for my father and help him send some people over."
Upon hearing this, Tang Renli immediately put the telegram on the table and listened quietly.
"This guy is indeed a skilled fighter, but he has too few talented people under him. Since he has decided to stay in Hebei, I have some students I can send over to help him."
Tang Shengzhi had a good reputation and influence in Hunan, so he would not be disgraced like in another time and space.
The Hunan government officials naturally had to make arrangements for the party leader to return home, and the position of President of Hunan University was just right.
Hearing this, Tang Renli nodded and said, "I'll go get ready and leave tomorrow."
.........
After everything was arranged, each battalion took separate actions over the next month.
With the cooperation of militia companies in each village, digging tunnels was particularly smooth.
Some landlords and gentry naturally did not like this happening, but the village leaders did not care about them.
The missions received by each battalion were for ordinary people, not these landlords and gentry.
The village leaders who were willing to cooperate did not make things difficult for them, but as for those who were unwilling to cooperate, who would care about them? When the Japanese came, they would know what regret was.
