"Gao Quan?" He frowned and shook his head slightly, "No." Now the Japanese invaders are mobilizing troops to invade on a large scale, and all the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains have been defeated and retreated, and the Japanese in Tongbai, who are only defended by 500 troops, have not taken care of it for the time being. If 500 troops were transferred out of the mountain, the Japanese thought that Tongbai was empty and would inevitably take advantage of the weakness to attack, wouldn't Tongbai be dangerous? Are we going to lose this important strategic location again? ”

Chen Cheng and Gao Quan always have a bit of a plausible connection. Xiao Guihua, the confidential director of the 500th Army, is not only from Minister Chen's subordinates, but also reports some information to Chen Cheng from time to time; Wu Guangxing, the secretary general of the 500 Army, is a reserve cadre that Minister Chen has focused on cultivating, and Gao Quan has also had contacts with Minister Chen every once in a while.

Chen Cheng's intention to win over Gao Quan has not disappeared, this time he originally wanted to take the opportunity to improve the whole on the premise of the committee seat, to get closer to the relationship between the two, and by the way, to enhance the importance of the 500 Army in the heart of the committee, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the chairman of the committee!

"Then how about sending Mi Wenhe's 69th Army to quell the rebellion?" Chen Cheng's opinion was refuted, and He Yingqin, who was on the side, was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately followed up and put forward another opinion. It's not that Minister He and Mi Wenhe have any friendship, what a few people just said is these two troops, and Minister He proposed that Mi Wenhe was just a smooth mouth. Chen Cheng's mention of the 500th Army was rejected, and he said that the 69th Army was not just-for-tat?

"Well, the Sixty-ninth Army is a good choice. Give Mi Wenhe an order: order his 69th Army to put down the rebellion at once! The corners of his mouth curled, and he made a choice in an instant.

The adjutant nodded yes and ran out to give orders. He Yingqin glanced at Chen Cheng defiantly, with a triumphant smile on his face. Chen Cheng's face was expressionless, he and He Yingqin had been fighting openly and secretly, and the committee had long known that if he lost this game, he would lose, and there was no need to pretend to be hypocritically happy on his face to show others.

The order of the commission reached the 69th Army through the Military Commission, and Mi Wenhe immediately led the army under his command to launch a bloody suppression of the people in southern Henan!

At the beginning of the uprising, the reason why the rebel army was progressing smoothly was not that the army really couldn't deal with the common people, but mainly because the national army couldn't do anything in the face of the croppers armed with shovels and hoes. Many people in the national army are peasants themselves, so it's okay for them to bully and bully people, and let them really use machine guns and grenades to beat the people, and they really can't do that ruthlessly.

But now it's different, the current 69th Army has a military order from the Military Commission, and they don't break the law by killing people, they are ordered to quell the chaos! When the army was really ruthless and picked up guns, the villagers with primitive weapons were really no match. Mi Wenhe led the 69th Army to put a machine gun and searched the village next to each other, as long as he found that there was a connection with the peasant rebel army, he would kill them one by one! Kill all men, women, and children!

The bloody repression caused the flames of the peasant uprising to quickly turn from prosperous to small, and several larger rebel armies were severely attacked. The Southern Henan Peasant Self-Defense Army is the largest rebel army in southern Henan, and it has also suffered the most serious blows!

Although Wang Chuan won successive battles in the early stage, after facing the 69th Army, which received military orders, he also suffered several big defeats one after another, and thousands of rebel soldiers were killed. In the face of harsh repression, Wang Chuan's Southern Henan Self-Defense Army entered its biggest trough since the uprising.

Zheng Guotai did not lead his troops to participate in the battle with the 69th Army during this time, and Deputy Commander Zheng is now busy reorganizing the team and preparing to defect to the 500th Army. While Commander Wang Chuan was leading most of the rebel army to fight with the 69th Army, Deputy Commander Zheng was hiding in a secret place at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, quietly reorganizing his troops.

Zheng Guotai actually knew the news of the setback of Wang Chuan's army, and he was now the deputy commander and second-in-command of the Self-Defense Army, how could such a major military incident be hidden from him? No one wanted to hide it from him, but the commander Wang Chuan personally sent a herald to pass on the information, which not only detailed the defeat of the army, but also asked Deputy Commander Zheng to immediately lead the army to attack, and Commander Wang's main army merged into one body, and strive to defeat the reactionary 69th Army in one fell swoop!

Deputy Commander Zheng replied that he was rectifying military discipline and would go to support as soon as the rectification was completed. Zheng Guotai actually didn't want to fight with Mi Wenhe, the 69th Army was also a national army, and if the two sides fought openly, it would be an incident of cannibalism and frying each other. Under the influence of Gao Quan, Zheng Guotai didn't want to fight with the national army at all, in his heart, there was only one enemy, and that was the devil! In the past, when I fought with the national army, it was just a joke, just like a fight between brothers, no matter how hard I fought, no one could die.

Regarding Zheng Guotai's reply, Wang Chuan is undoubtedly very dissatisfied, when can military discipline not be rectified, and he has to pick this critical moment to rectify it? Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't care about the trouble of going to Deputy Commander Zheng now, the 69th Army behind him was too tight, and he couldn't spare his hand!

Zheng Guotai had a good plan in his heart, he just planned to let Wang Chuan and Mi Wenhe fight, and then he organized the peasant rebel army that he could control, and directly led Tongbai to the military seat. He Director Zheng absorbed nearly a division of troops, and not to mention that he had made a great contribution, he could continue to go back to his general affairs office.

However, things in the world are always not subject to human will, and if you don't want to do anything, you often can't hide from it. Zheng Guotai never wanted to fight with the 69th Army, and the 69th Army just collided with it!

The 28th Division of the 69th Army was the main force of Mi Wenhe, and after receiving the order of the army commander Mi Wenhe to suppress the peasant army, the division took the lead in launching an attack on the Southern Henan Self-Defense Army. Wang Chuan led more than 10,000 peasant troops to fight back, but was defeated head-on by the 28th Division on the battlefield, and then led the remnants to flee, and the 69th Army then covered up. The 28th Division, which made meritorious contributions in the first battle, did not participate in the pursuit of Wang Chuan's division. Mi Wenhe learned through intelligence that another part of the Henan Peasant Self-Defense Army was hiding at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, so Commander Mi ordered the 28th Division to attack the secret base at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, in a vain attempt to annihilate this part of the cunning peasant self-defense army in one fell swoop.

The 28th Division was still more than 100 miles away, and Zheng Guotai got the information that an infantry division of the 69th Army had killed him! Taking stock of his troops, Zheng Guotai has made a difficulty, there are a lot of people under him, and in terms of numbers, they are not less than the 28th Division, but can these peasant armies under him be the opponents of the 28th Division? The answer is clearly no. Only half of the peasant army had guns in their hands, and most of them still held shovels and hoes, and they were seriously lacking in military training, it was impossible for them to defeat the menacing 28th Division! What to do?
