Chapter 773 Okamura discovered that his troops were surrounded by 8 routes
The weakening of the Japanese army in North China also made Okamura prefer to borrow troops from the Kwantung Army and transfer new divisions from the mainland.
They were also unwilling to use the local garrison to sweep the anti-Japanese forces in the Hebei Plain because they were too time-consuming.
The news that the Japanese army was gradually declining had reached the desks of the Red Shaanxi leaders.
The leaders are concerned about major research issues, but Song Wenwan said it is better to just follow orders and save worry.
A May 1st mopping-up operation against the Japanese invaders ended just as quickly as it came.
In less than twenty days, all the attacking Japanese were driven back to their own defense zones.
Commander Okamura sadly discovered that he seemed to be surrounded in the stronghold by the Eighth Route Army troops.
Okamura could no longer hold the initiative of the war firmly in his hands as he did before.
At this time, everything seemed to be on the right track.
Some people were helping him with military training, while others were managing the economy and farming season.
Some people are also preparing to receive the victims coming from Henan.
The severe drought in Henan this year is a foregone conclusion. The Japanese are driving people to the northwest like crazy.
They seemed to hope to destroy the economy of the Red Base in northern Shaanxi in one go.
But out of their sight, bags of grain were sent to Tongguan.
Song Wenwan, who was taking a break from the summer heat in Gannan, once again rejected his subordinates' proposal to take stock and reorganize the troops.
According to him, the current number of troops is quite encouraging.
Anyone who knew the current number of troops would be tempted to fight a war to unify the country.
Even if we don't fight, people are already impatient. How can we command and manage in the future?
The first day of July had just passed and Comrade Zhou Weiguo returned from his honeymoon.
As soon as he arrived in Longshui, he and Brother Ren Jiu went to Song Wenwan's official residence.
Zhou Weiguo: "Commander Song, there is good news."
Song Wenwan opened her eyes dazedly on the lounge chair in the courtyard.
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Weiguo and Brother Jiu are here.
Weiguo, do you have any good news to tell me?
Is your sister-in-law pregnant, or is your old man planning to remarry?
I saw it on the day you got married. Several old ladies looked at your father with strange eyes!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Song Wenwan's outrageous remarks caused many people at the scene to cough.
Song Wenwan then discovered that Cheng Songyuan and Political Commissar Mo were accompanying Mr. Zhou to the door.
Faced with Political Commissar Mo's cold eyes, Song Wenwan hurriedly jumped up from the recliner.
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was about to lose his temper, he quickly pulled his eldest son over and sent him to Mr. Zhou.
"He Shan, come and see who is here, and say hello to Grandpa Zhou."
As soon as he saw that it was Mr. Zhou who came, Young Master Song was very well behaved and immediately went up to hold Mr. Zhou's hand.
"Hello, Grandpa Zhou. I have memorized a long section of "Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child" today. Please come and test me."
Song Heshan's childish voice immediately attracted Mr. Zhou's attention.
"My dear grandson, follow me. I want to test your knowledge carefully."
After saying that, he did not forget to roll his eyes at his son.
"Weiguo, you have to work hard, look at how well-behaved other people's children are.
When will I be blessed enough to have such a cute grandson in my arms? "
Zhou Weiguo's face turned red after hearing this. If he said he would work hard, it would definitely not work. But if he said he would not work hard, he was afraid of getting beaten.
At this time, Young Master Song spoke again: "Grandpa Zhou, there are still small rivers and mountains here. Can you let me be your grandson in the future?"
Accompanied by Zhu Bei, Mr. Zhou held Young Master Song's hand and walked towards the study.
In the end, he didn't even give our comrade Song Wenwan an eye, which was very arrogant.
Watching them walk away, Zhou Weiguo let out a long sigh and then dared to speak to everyone.
"Commander Song, I heard that my old man wants to take you as his last disciple."
Brother Ren Jiu: "Then I have to congratulate you. Mr. Zhou is not only a veteran of the Tongmenghui, but also a master of Chinese studies."
Song Wenwan said angrily, "Bullshit, Brother Weiguo and I are on equal terms.
Given our old man Zhou’s personality, he would accept Shanhe as his last disciple.
Then he must ask me to call my son "senior brother". No, absolutely not."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, thinking that this old man was really something.
Although his personality is a bit old-fashioned, he is not a rigid person.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to teach someone with Zhou Weiguo's character.
There wouldn't have been so many female gentlemen who would have been obsessed with him back then.
Cheng Songyuan looked around and asked, "Commander Song, where is your daughter? Why can't I see her?
She is a cultural seed and her future achievements are limitless. Why don't you let her become your disciple?
We are all revolutionary soldiers of the new era, and we cannot tolerate the idea of favoring boys over girls."
Song Wenwan: "Alas, I can't even see my own daughter now.
A few days ago, I accompanied Weiguo and his wife to Pagoda Mountain.
As a result, she was so outstanding that a leader accepted her as his top disciple, and now she is having a great time there.
When I talk about this, I feel proud of my daughter.
At such a young age, he looks like a little gentleman. His intelligence, temperament and appearance are definitely inherited from me."
Everyone looked at Song Wenwan who was boasting about himself and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me today? Is there some important military news?
We have agreed that if there are any party and government matters, we will go to the political commissar, if there are any military and political matters, we will go to Brother Jiu, and if there are any civil affairs matters, we will go to Uncle Cheng.
If you have any questions about big things, ask Shanbei. If you have any questions about small things, don't bother me. Now tell me, what do you want from me?
These words almost made Cheng Songyuan pick up the civilized stick.
"You little brat, don't you remember that hitting someone with my old civilized stick is very painful?"
Political Commissar Mo also laughed angrily, and they said, "According to what you mean, you don't care about anything now.
All matters of the three armies are taken care of by us old comrades, are you ready to be the boss?"
When Brother Ren Jiu saw everyone, he was ready to criticize Song Wenwan at full speed, so he immediately took out a handful of melon seeds and stood aside.
Zhou Weiguo was considerate enough here. He quickly came up to interrupt Song Wenwan.
"Commander Song, the intelligence team in Shanghai has sent back important news.
My old classmate Takeshita Shun came to Shanghai with more than 100 people. "
Song Wenwan asked seriously, "Oh, is he coming for Jiangnan or Shanxi?"
Zhou Weiguo: "They stayed at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport for an hour, refueled and then went to Beijing.
Among the ground staff at Hongqiao Airport, there are people who were instigated by us to defect.
When Takeshita Shun returned to Jingdong, he took a transfer flight in Hongkou, so he recognized it at the first sight. "
Song Wenwan: "They went to Beiping, so it's hard to say who they're going to deal with.
We have just finished the May 1st cleanup. Wang Bidada, Qin Haichuan and Lu Changfeng have all taken advantage of Okamura.
The Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan New Army in the Second War Zone were also organized in Shanxi and wiped out a large number of Japanese invaders from the First Army.
Weiguo, you are most familiar with Takeshita Shun, tell me, who is his target this time? "
Zhou Weiguo: "He brought so many people to China, and his intention to take action is very obvious."
