Chapter 546 Contact with the guerrillas
Tian Kezhi already knew Zhao Zhiguo's identity and the decision he made.
Mr. Yan framed Zhao Zhiguo and asked Zhao Zhiguo to take the blame for the Jinsui Army in front of the Central Army. This is already intolerable.
"Lao Tian, calm down first and listen to Lao Gao finish the matter."
"Nowadays, there are Japanese invaders outside, internal warlord disputes, local power divisions, and matters involving interests have become more and more sensitive. The Northwest Army must also be at the disposal of the Central Army at any time, so I think that mediating this matter
Not reliable."
China is full of chaos, and everyone has their own little calculations. For the benefit of a warlord, not to mention a small regiment commander, even a division commander can be sacrificed at any time.
"When I went to Commander Zhang this time, he seemed to have something to hide, but I also heard some news from hearsay that there was a split within the Northwest Army."
The Northwest Army was even more chaotic than the Jinsui Army, and the division commanders of the Jinsui Army still obeyed General Yan's orders.
Since the defeat of the Northwest Army in the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army, which was originally the most stable, has become the most unstable.
When I asked Commander Zhang to go back in the first place, I hoped that there would be a highly respected commander of the Northwest Army who could unite everyone's hearts.
But this year's hard work has made all the generals of the Northwest Army realize that the best way out is for everyone to go their separate ways.
Commander Zhang, who returned to the Northwest Army, was naturally promoted to deputy chief of staff. In addition to having a division under his command, he was also able to coordinate the various units of the Northwest Army.
However, this year, except for his own division, which could be mobilized, the rest of the troops listened to the announcement but not the instructions.
"The Northwest Army is no longer reliable. I'm afraid the Central Army will be the only one in the future."
Tian Kezhi sighed and looked at Zhao Zhiguo thoughtfully.
If the Central Military Army becomes the dominant force, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for the army that Zhao Zhiguo chooses to join?
"Captain, so I don't recommend joining Commander Zhang. Maybe the Northwest Army will fall apart when we get halfway there."
Gao Cang also analyzed carefully on the way back. Mr. Zhang is now in trouble.
If the Central Army took a tough stance on Zhao Zhiguo and forced the Northwest Army to hand him over, Commander Zhang would definitely refuse.
Mr. Zhang's arm couldn't twist his thigh, so maybe this incident would be the last straw for Mr. Zhang.
"Has Mr. Zhang ever talked about him?"
Zhao Zhiguo sent Gao Cang to Le County to contact Mr. Zhang, naturally not to seek refuge with Mr. Zhang, but for other purposes.
"I also tentatively asked Commander Zhang. Our relationship with the Jinsui Army is relatively tense. If there is a firefight between the two sides, Commander Zhang will help."
Gao Cang naturally also knew their current situation. Once the Jinsui Army regained their breath, they would definitely not fight the little Japs first, but get rid of Zhao Zhiguo first.
"What did Mr. Zhang say?" Zhao Zhiguo looked at Gao Cang expectantly.
Gao Cang shook his head: "The Northwest Army does not want to be the target of public criticism."
After the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army was no longer that strong, let alone now.
If Commander Zhang helps Zhao Zhiguo, the Shanxi-Sui Army will definitely unite with the Central Army and eat up the remaining divisions of the Northwest Army.
"This idea is understandable, but what about the supplies?"
Zhao Zhiguo never thought that an external army would be able to help them. What he continued to ask for was supplies.
"The situation is not very optimistic, but Commander Zhang said that he can support us with some bullets and food, of course in the form of a caravan."
Commander Zhang's current actions also represent the Northwest Army.
If he delivers food to Zhao Zhiguo openly, isn't he deliberately trying to disgust Mr. Yan?
“As long as I can give it, no matter how much it is, it’s fine!”
Zhao Zhiguo is not taboo now. He can eat steamed buns and pork heads.
"You will be responsible for the Gaocang matter. Before Mr. Yan blocks the land route, we must stock up on supplies as much as possible, especially bullets and food."
If Master Zhang can give them a batch of supplies, Zhao Zhiguo and the others can survive this period of time.
After Gao Cang returned, there was news from Yao Pengju that Zhao Zhiguo's luck was right, and the letter he placed under the stone was taken away.
"The banner is still there, but the letter is gone!" Yao Pengju told Zhao Zhiguo.
"There are five peaks within a radius of ten kilometers of Mount Yao, and the top of Mount Yao can be seen from those five peaks!"
"That is to say, if no one monitors us, there is a high possibility that the letter will be taken away by the guerrillas." Yao Pengju said.
"Immediately launch a reconnaissance on the five surrounding peaks. Remember, we will send out scouts at night so as not to alert others."
"I understand, they will definitely not be able to escape this time." Yao Pengju was full of confidence.
"Yao Pengju, we will continue to arrange for people to go to Yaoshan tomorrow. I want to know if they will reply to my letter!"
Zhu Hao did not expect that Zhao Zhiguo's little plan would expose their whereabouts.
Of course, Zhu Hao had read books, but how could he be Zhao Zhiguo's opponent in terms of scheming?
Zhao Zhiguo often fought with the Japanese army on the front line. The Japanese army was so cunning. If he were not more cunning than the Japanese army, Zhao Zhiguo would not be alive today.
"The handwriting is very beautiful."
The people around Zhu Hao were not literate, but they just looked at the words on the letter and thought they were beautiful.
"If this letter was written by Zhao Zhiguo himself, it proves that he is also a scholar." Zhu Hao couldn't help but take a second look.
This handwriting is fluent and flowing. Although it does not reflect the style of everyone, in an era when almost everyone is illiterate, relying on this handwriting is not enough.
"Captain, should we go see him?"
Zhu Hao looked at the letter and began to hesitate.
Zhao Zhiguo has been in Anyang Town for so long and has received military pay, but he still hasn't left. This makes Zhu Hao increasingly confused about Zhao Zhiguo.
"It's okay to meet! I'm just afraid that they will deliberately set a trap for us!"
Compared with the guerrillas, Zhao Zhiguo's troops were stronger and Zhu Hao did not dare to take risks easily.
Now that Zhao Zhiguo and the others are in the open and the guerrillas are in the dark, they can still ensure their safety.
Once the guerrillas are exposed to the public, the safety of Zhu Hao and his guerrillas cannot be guaranteed.
"Captain, you have to think of a way. Judging from the intelligence we have heard in the past few days, it seems that Zhao Zhiguo's troops will be stationed in Anyang Town for a long time."
Anyang Town has training slogans and patrol posts every day.
This is the plan to stay there for a long time.
"Send him a letter first to test him!"
Zhu Hao didn't know that the moment they got this letter, it was already destined that their location would be exposed to Zhao Zhiguo.
Zhu Hao's letter to Zhao Zhiguo did not mention that he wanted to meet.
