Chapter 186
Silence.
Hesitation.
His eyes flickered. .
Everyone could see that the old commander was really hesitant at this time.
"Chief of Staff!"
Soon a certain general said disapprovingly: "You think too highly of this bandit. They just won by luck this time. This bandit dared to provoke our military representative before. He clearly did not take my 100,000 Jinsui Army seriously, and did not take the commander seriously at all. Now you let the commander recruit the other side. Isn't this a joke for my Jinsui Army?"
As soon as these words came out.
Most people present also nodded frequently.
You know, they are all senior generals who have served in the army for many years. When did they have to stick to the cold butts of these bandits?
If it gets out, they will really think that their Jinsui Army has fallen into such a state!
The old commander's face was slightly gloomy when he heard this.
"Commander!"
Wang Conghai immediately said respectfully again: "This unit is obviously different from ordinary bandits. Now it has completely wiped out the devil brigade. Its reputation is different from before. Even if he is somewhat hostile to my Jinsui Army, if the commander can put aside past grudges and treat them with respect at this time, he will definitely be able to take the opportunity to recruit this unit under his command, which will become a good story!"
"Chief of Staff!"
The general questioned again: "The other party's previous attitude was already very obvious."
Wang Conghai still insisted on his point of view and said solemnly: "Since ancient times, talented people must have their pride. Since this unit can completely wipe out the devil brigade, we should be more sincere if we want to recruit them!"
"But-"
"Commander!"
Wang Conghai glanced at the old officer who was interested, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not just us who are eyeing Qingfeng Village now."
"What do you mean?"
The old officer's face changed slightly.
Wang Conghai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Shanxi Province has always been the sphere of influence of our Jinsui Army. Both the National Government and the Eighth Route Army want to get involved here, especially the former who has tried to extend their tentacles to our Jin Province many times. But they were stopped by the commander. Now at this critical moment, such a powerful team suddenly emerged and wiped out the Japanese brigade. No matter who it is, as long as they can recruit them, they will definitely be able to expand their influence in Jin Province. At that time, the final threat will still be you, the commander!"
"That's right!"
The old commander's expression turned cold in an instant, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Eighth Route Army set out to enter our Jin Province, its military strength has been developing rapidly. Now it is a bit of a tiger raising a tiger for harm. If the National Government really uses this unit as a springboard, even if the Japanese are driven out, I am afraid that I may not have the final say in Jin Province! No, this must not happen!"
...
Mountain City.
Military Investigation Bureau.
"Report!"
In the evening, someone hurried up to the third floor.
"Come in!"
"Director!"
The head of the Intelligence Department said excitedly: "Good news, great news!"
"What are you panicking about?"
The head of the Investigation Bureau frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have told you many times, don't panic when encountering things. In our line of work, we must not show our emotions even if the sky falls!"
"Director, Director!"
The head of the Intelligence Department could no longer suppress his joy and said hurriedly: "News came from Shanxi Province! Just before, the Seventh Brigade of the Japs was annihilated when attacking Qingfeng Village! A full 5,000 elite soldiers were killed! All the members of the Rui Brigade were killed in Shanxi Province. This is one of the few major victories in Shanxi Province since the Anti-Japanese War! "
"What?"
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? The Seventh Brigade is such a strong team, how could it be wiped out?"
"Director!"
The section chief immediately delivered the telegram and explained: "I have cross-verified this news from several channels, and even activated our undercover in Taiyuan. This time the Seventh Brigade was indeed wiped out. The Japanese commander in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, is still in a coma at this moment!"
Huh!
Instantly.
The middle-aged man trembled violently after scanning the intelligence, and said with surprise: "Good! It's really great! The situation of our army on the front battlefield is extremely difficult, and there is a negative mood of resistance all over the country. Now the main force of the devil has been completely wiped out in the battlefield behind enemy lines. This is really great news!"
"Director! I heard that the big guys in the military are very concerned about Qingfeng Village?"
"That's right!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said seriously: "Previously, this unit was able to inflict heavy damage to the devil many times, which attracted the attention of many big guys in the military. Now this battle report is definitely an exciting result. As long as it is presented, it will definitely shockThe entire Ministry of National Defense will be mobilized, and this may also be the beginning of the national service completely entering Shanxi Province. "
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't this clear?"
The middle-aged man was in a good mood, and at this time he patiently said a few more words: "The government has always lacked control over Shanxi Province. Now the national war is shrouded in a shadow of appeasement. At this time, there is such a great victory that can inspire the determination of the national war. If we can win over this department and make it join the national army, it must be the beginning of the government's entry into Shanxi Province!"
"Is that so."
The head of the intelligence department suddenly realized.
"No more!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said solemnly: "Prepare the car immediately! I want to go and report the intelligence."
"Yes, Director! "
The head of the intelligence department nodded immediately.
…
Until eight o'clock in the evening.
The intelligence boss returned to the investigation bureau.
Seeing his own director's excited look, the head of the intelligence department couldn't help but come over and ask: "Director! Has the higher-ups known about this?"
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "All the bigwigs in the military department of Shancheng have learned about this, and they are just attending an emergency high-level military meeting. The entire military attaches great importance to this victory in Qingfeng Village, and is extremely excited. They also appreciate that we can provide such intelligence in the first time. "
"Does the mountain have any instructions?"
"Thoroughly investigate Qingfeng Village!"
The middle-aged man suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then said solemnly: "Do your best to assist the military department in absorbing this department!"
"The director is really as good as a god! "
Hearing this, the section chief was full of admiration and immediately flattered him: "You said before that the military would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to recruit the bandits from Qingfeng Village. Things really developed as you said."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "This matter is not difficult to guess. After all, this battle not only has rich results, but also achieved such a great victory at this critical moment, which is absolutely of great significance! No one can turn a blind eye to it, and as long as Qingfeng Village is absorbed into the battle sequence of our army, the previous credit will also belong to our government, so - no matter from which angle, we must do our best to assist the military in recruiting this unit!"
