Chapter 185: The sky-high asking price
Zhu Muyun went to see Shi Dongliang alone, mainly to tell him about Huang Weijun. Shi Dongliang promised to lend him a battalion, but if he only borrowed it and didn't pay it back, how would he meet Shi Dongliang in the future?
Moreover, he did not discuss this matter with Deng Xiangtao. Since Xiong Dongjian's military command is the object of protection, it can be seen that the task of Huang Weijun is essentially anti-communist. Zhu Muyun also reported his worries about this army to his family. The reorganization of the Huang Wei Army this time was also an opportunity for the New Fourth Army to take the opportunity to enter.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party united to fight the war of resistance, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party promised not to recruit party members in the other camp. But the Yellow Guards are not a national army, they can only be regarded as a puppet army. In this army, no matter how many party members are recruited, it is possible.
Shi Dongliang is still very enthusiastic about Zhu Muyun's arrival. He didn't know that he was here to fight the idea of the Sixth Division. Wang Qinghai takes the troops very seriously, if he knew that Zhu Muyun borrowed the troops, he didn't plan to return them, I am afraid that he would have the heart to kill Zhu Muyun.
"Brother Shi, borrowing so many troops, is it easy for Master Wang to explain?" Zhu Muyun was a little embarrassed when he saw that Shi Dongliang was so enthusiastic.
"Shizuo learned that the elder brother borrowed the army, and it was to exterminate the military commander, so naturally he didn't have a second word." Shi Dongliang smiled and said, Zhu Muyun borrowed troops not to fight, and he didn't even need to go out of Guchang, how could he not do such a favor.
"Please Brother Shi must tell me, thank you teacher." Zhu Muyun said gratefully.
"You should say this to the master in person, I have been notified that the master will come to Guchang today." Shi Dongliang said with a smile.
"How can Master Wang have time to come to Guchang?" Zhu Muyun said in surprise, it wouldn't be Wang Qinghai who learned that he was going to borrow troops and deliberately came to stop it.
But he suddenly thought that Wang Qinghai came to Guchang to avoid Xiong Dongjian. Last night, Zhu Muyun made a suggestion to Li Bangfan, asking Xiong Dongjian to propose to Mrs. Meiza that the 118th Regiment be seconded and merged into the Huang Wei Army.
The so-called sky-high asking price, pay back on the spot. Zhu Muyun wanted to complete Li Bangfan's task, so he naturally had to work hard. Asking Wang Qinghai directly for someone will definitely not end well. However, if he stretched out his hand to ask for a regiment and finally only gave it to a battalion or even a company, Wang Qinghai would feel much better.
Although this idea was a little damaged, Zhu Muyun was also forced to have no choice. Of course, he had to do everything he could to complete the task assigned by Li Bangfan.
"It's not because of Huang Weijun. Xiong Dongjian lost the battle, and the Japanese not only did not punish him, but wanted to expand it. Xiong Dongjian knew that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Guards was low, so he actually hit the idea of our Sixth Division, and even proposed to merge the 118th Regiment into the Yellow Guards as a whole. Shizuo was so angry with him that he scolded his mother, and he didn't want to stay in Guxing anymore. Shi Dongliang said.
"Xiong Dongjian is really a lion's mouth." Zhu Muyun was "surprised" and said that although Li Bangfan proposed to borrow a battalion, the bottom line was actually only one company. And Xiong Dongjian directly proposed to ask for a regiment, isn't this asking for Wang Qinghai's life?
"Damn, Xiong Dongjian is not a good thing." Shi Dongliang scolded, if he knew that the initiator was Zhu Muyun, I don't know how he would feel.
"The 118th Regiment was rebuilt by the Sixth Division itself, and Xiong Dongjian has to give it if he wants it? It doesn't make sense to travel all over the world, right? Zhu Muyun said "indignantly".
"Although this is the truth, but Meiza is Xiong Dongjian's teacher in Japan, Xiong Dongjian was injured this time, and he was praised by Meiza Tai, I am afraid that this level is very difficult." Shi Dongliang said that the 118th Regiment was rebuilt at the Sixth Division's own expense, the equipment was bought by itself, and the personnel were recruited by itself.
Now that Xiong Dongjian is stretching out his hand, how can Wang Qinghai agree? I already gave a platoon last time, and now I want a regiment, I really think that the sixth division is a soft persimmon?
"A person who lost the battle and cut off the chief of staff dared to speak out and be seconded to the 118th Regiment. This person's thick skin must be unprecedented, and there will be no one after him. Zhu Muyun said disdainfully.
"If you talk cheekily to a person who has surrendered, won't you play the harp to a cow?" Shi Dongliang said that although his background is not good, after all, he has been with the Japanese much longer than Xiong Dongjian.
After Xiong Dongjian was arrested, he has always looked very tall. However, once they take off their disguises, they are even more despicable and shameless than them. Xiong Dongjian, with a clever mouth, said that the Japanese would give money and guns, recruit troops and buy horses by himself, and soon set up the shelves of the Yellow Guards.
Now, having lost the battle, it can even be expanded. Such a good thing is only available to Huang Weijun. After the uprising of the 118th Regiment of the 6th Division, the Japanese not only did not comfort them, but instead wanted to downsize. If the 6th Division becomes the 6th Brigade, Shi Dongliang's power will also be reduced by one-third.
Fortunately, Wang Qinghai made a quick decision and decided to rebuild the 118th Regiment. Unexpectedly, the 118th Regiment, which was rebuilt with great difficulty, is likely to become Huang Weijun's wedding dress.
"I resolutely support Division Commander Wang, Xiong Dongjian is really, if he really wants to merge the 118th Regiment into the Yellow Guards, he is not afraid, and the Yellow Guards will be eaten by the Sixth Division in the future?" Zhu Muyun said.
"Not really." Shi Dongliang's heart moved, the platoon that was transferred to the Huang Weijun last time, whether it was an officer or a soldier, was promoted and reused.
Among them, the officers were promoted by two ranks, while the soldiers all served as squad leaders. It can be said that in the Yellow Guard Army, the Sixth Division also has a certain influence. If the 118th Regiment is transferred to the Yellow Guards, maybe this situation may really occur.
"If I were Master Wang, since I couldn't go against it, I would simply turn against the customer. If all the middle and lower-level officers of the Huang Weijun are from the Sixth Division, Xiong Dongjian may not be able to command the Huang Weijun when the time comes. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"Being a soldier and eating food is very realistic now." Shi Dongliang shook his head slightly, it is undeniable that Zhu Muyun's proposal is very good. It's just that it's very difficult to achieve.
"Then negotiate the conditions with the imperial army, I heard that the Yellow Guards have artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns this time. These weapons, the price is ridiculously high. Even money may not be able to buy it. If you can also give a copy to the Sixth Division, it will be more than enough to build two more 118th regiments. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"Once the 118th Regiment is seconded by Huang Weijun this time, it is basically impossible to rebuild it." Shi Dongliang shook his head and said with a sigh. After a pause, he said again: "Those weapons given by the Japanese, in the hands of Huang Weijun, will not work at all. If the Sixth Division has such a weapon, if it encounters the New Fourth Army, it will directly bombard the damn. As long as the New Fourth Army dares to come again, it can defeat them to the ground. Shi Dongliang said.
The Sixth Division is mainly based on light weapons, and moreover, they are all old weapons. If it weren't for the fact that they took advantage of the arms trade and slowly replaced a batch of weapons, the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division would not even be as good as that of the Huang Weijun.
"Well, I'll try to find out what is going on. I think that Xiong Dongjian's suggestion may not be supported by the imperial army. Perhaps, they just wanted to test Master Wang's tone. Zhu Muyun said.
"Mu Yun, I thank you for the teacher." Shi Dongliang said gratefully.
"Between our brothers, do we need to say this word of thanks? Besides, if you borrowed my troops to arrest the military commander, I should thank you. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
The sixth division is Wang Qinghai's, even if Zhu Muyun and Shi Dongliang discuss it fiercely, they can't call the shots about this kind of thing. After Wang Qinghai arrived at noon, Zhu Muyun accompanied Shi Dongliang and met Wang Qinghai together.
Today's Wang Qinghai is not in high spirits, even if Shi Dongliang is bent to greet him, he seems to be unmotivated. But when I ate at noon, I drank two more glasses with Zhu Muyun. Perhaps, it is to drown your sorrows through wine.
After eating, Zhu Muyun took his leave. He had already negotiated with Wang Qinghai, and if he needed military support, he could call the 118th Regiment directly. Moreover, Zhu Muyun also has to set aside time for Wang Qinghai and Shi Dongliang.
Zhu Muyun believes that he will borrow the strength of this battalion, and basically will not really call it up. After all, Deng Xiangtao had already arranged it in advance, whether he borrowed troops or set up his headquarters in the gendarmerie, it was just a cover-up.
Zhu Muyun didn't know about Deng Xiangtao's plan, so he could only imagine that Deng Xiangtao had already arranged everything. And yourself, you only need to follow the convention, the ambush of the ambush, the stalking.
Throughout the afternoon, there was still no movement from the military command. After Yang Zhi arrived in Guchang, he called Zhu Muyun. He received an order this morning to find a hotel to stay in after arriving in Guchang and wait for further orders.
In this regard, Zhu Muyun was not surprised. He has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and the military commander should also be clear. Yang Zhi is just a smokescreen, maybe the actions of the military commander have already begun. It's just that I haven't found it yet.
When it was time for dinner, Zhu Muyun received a call from Wang Qinghai himself, asking him to have dinner in the evening. And Wang Qinghai called Lin Junyang and Shi Dongliang to play cards together at night.
"Master Wang, I have a mission to come to Guchang, and I should have a meal with the teacher, but if I want to play cards, I'm afraid it will delay things." Zhu Muyun said that no matter what, his posture has to be made. Otherwise, the mission will fail, and it will be difficult to explain it after going back.
"This kind of thing is done by the people below, you pull the phone line to me, what is there to direct here, isn't it the same?" Wang Qinghai said disapprovingly.
Don't say that Zhu Muyun just caught a few anti-Japanese elements, even if it was a war, he could play cards and command the battle at the same time. In the afternoon, Shi Dongliang told him some of Zhu Muyun's ideas, although Wang Qinghai did not agree very much. However, he believed in Zhu Muyun's ability to find out the news.
"I'm afraid it's not right." Zhu Muyun said that it was rare for him to come to Guchang to personally command an operation, and if he accompanied Wang Qinghai to play cards on the first night, how would he explain to Li Bangfan when he went back?
"If you don't come, my troops won't borrow it." Wang Qinghai pretended to be unhappy and said.
"That's okay, I'll accompany Master Wang to play a few laps." Zhu Muyun said helplessly that he arranged for Zhou Zhijian to notify himself as soon as he received a call to find a "nail".
