Chapter 1 Question (Seventh Middle School)

"The key is that there is no need to fight." Seeing that the master's face was still a bit reluctant, Peng Xuewen whispered, "Our Military Control Commission has been developing too vigorously in the past two years. The total number of loyal and righteous national-savior troops in various places is more than 200,000. In addition, Boss Dai also joined hands with Du Yuesheng from Shanghai to do business, and joined forces with Long Yun to buy rubber and gasoline in China. He has made a lot of money-making industries. It can be said that in the present, except for not having its own arsenal, the strength of our Military Control Commission is no longer much worse than that of Long Yun and Liu Xiang. Although it is strong, it may not be a good thing to fall into the eyes of those who are interested."

"You mean, you will violate the chairman's taboo." Ma Hansan's heart twitched when he heard this, turned his head and stared at Peng Xuewen's eyes and asked.

Peng Xuewen smiled and shook his head gently, "I don't know whether to violate a taboo or not. I know that in the past two years, the Military Commission has forced Liu Xiang, Sun Lianzhong and others to scream. They can't cut the rogues on one end, but let the other end be too big."

"This", Ma Hansan rubbed his hands in depression, "We, we are strengthening our strength, to better deal with the Japanese."

"Sun Lianzhong has already exposed all his foundation in Taierzhuang. He Sen and Li Jiayu have been behind others in any battle." Peng Xuewen continued to sneer and shook his head, "Besides, the Japanese have used their strength to the greatest extent. If they continue like this, they will sooner or later be kicked out of China. I think that no matter who sits in the position of the chairman, they will not tolerate such a huge military command."

"That's right." Ma Hansan nodded and admitted that he lacked interest in competing for the next Military Affairs Bureau Director. However, Dai Li had been kind to him after all, and at this time, he could not hide and not obey Boss Dai's call. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "After I went, I would not fight with them as I said just now. Anyway, Boss Dai always thought that I was a big man. If I hadn't been forced into chaos this time, he wouldn't have suddenly thought of me."

"It's good that Master can grasp the right position." Peng Xuewen nodded in agreement, "Boss Dai is actually not that weak. At least in the past two or three years, it's not that easy for others to replace him."

"You know everything." Ma Hansan glared at Peng Xuewen again and responded unhappily, "I told me to grasp the degree. When it's your turn, why don't you know how to grasp the degree? Boss Dai said on the phone just now, I hope I can send you as far as I can. I don't want to see your name again within two years. You say, where should I send you," he said.

"Master, it's not right." Now, it was Peng Xuewen's turn to beg for resignation. He raised his head and begged for permission pitifully.

"Boss Dai said it personally. If you don't believe it, use your own relationship to inquire. Have he said these things before?" Ma Hansan turned his head away and ignored Peng Xuewen's disguise. Deep down, he was really reluctant to drive this closed disciple too far. "You go out to hide first. I guess Boss Dai is also annoyed by you. I want to teach you a lesson. Moreover, our military command is not stable recently. If you stay away, others will at least not hold on to your braid."

"When I leave, who will help you take care of our Chasui Station, and the affairs of the Jin army. After I leave, who will be responsible?" Peng Xuewen certainly believed that his master would not deliberately lie to him. He sighed and asked in a low voice.

"Let Secretary Liu do it first. Although his ability is not as strong as you, he will at least not cause trouble for me." Ma Hansan also sighed with him, his face full of helplessness. "You go to Heishizhai again. Fu Zuoyi tasted the sweetness from the last Wuyuan battle and was preparing to build a guerrilla area behind the Japanese. The area around Heishizhai happened to be one of the guerrilla areas he was preparing to focus on. The Japanese army in the city had just been beaten to death by the 93rd Regiment and had no strength to come out to sweep the storm. The independent battalion of Zhou Heika outside the city once owed you a favor. You draw a group of elite troops from the Loyal and National Salvation Army you incorporated in Chanan, and then find Zhou Heika to help. Just take advantage of the east wind of Fu Zuoyi's troops to establish the Chabei Special Administrative Office."

"This" Although he knew that the master was trying every means to protect himself, Peng Xuewen still felt very unwilling to accept it. Indeed, he saved Fatty Zhang and violated the internal discipline of the Military Control Commission. After all, he also saved the 93rd Regiment of the Fu faction. He was an elite force who returned from a hundred battles. In terms of the size of the troops and actual combat effectiveness, he was far above the Black Stone Guerrillas. The two compensations were still more than the fault. It would be fine if the Military Control Commission did not give him medals. He could not even deprive himself of his power to work normally. He kicked directly to the place where the birds in the Black Stone Village were not shit to be a nameless administrative commissioner.

"Abide by the order." Ma Hansan suddenly turned cold again and scolded loudly, "Don't rely on my master, you will be lawless."

After scolding him, he felt that the boss couldn't bear it. He sighed and continued, "Boss Dai wants me to deal with you. I have to show him. Don't worry, Master, I won't be willing to leave you there forever. When no one pays attention, I will get you back silently. Let's continue to work together and continue to deal with the Japanese."

"Oh." Peng Xuewen nodded and agreed, still looking listless.

"Pick up, don't be like losing tens of thousands of dollars." Ma Hansan hugged his shoulder hard and continued to comfort him in a low voice, "I haven't downgraded to your level, let's do this. Given that your mission is special and you have to deal with Fu Zuoyi's subordinates, I will report to Boss Dai, and raise your military rank again and directly promote you to lieutenant colonel. In addition, isn't your good brother Zhang Songling also there? After you go, you can start cooperation with him near the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. If you can bring him back to our side, I guess it's hard for Boss Dai to not give you military medals."

"I'll try it." The last sentence cheered up some a little. Going to Heishi Village was indeed far away from the front line of intelligence work, but life there would be wonderful. In my memory, the happiest period of time in the past three years he became an agent was to dig a hole for the Japanese in the Heishi Village with Fatty Zhang, Zhou Heicang, Zhao Tianlong and others. There was no need to consider the differences and differences between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, no need to consider who is the regular army and who is the horse thief, no need to consider what the future will be like for each other. I just need to fight the Japanese in a generous manner. In addition, I have no distraction.

"Then let's set off earlier. Fu Zuoyi has already started to dispatch troops. If you go too late, you will be picking fruits. Even if Zhou Heichang doesn't mind you picking, he can do it himself and always speak more generously." Ma Hansan smiled and whispered encouragement. The moment he turned his head, a trace of sadness that others could not detect was revealed in his eyes.

This trip to Chongqing may not be as easy as imagined. As an agent who walks on the brink of life and death all day long, he has a strong intuition about danger. He took six apprentices and the other five died at the hands of the Japanese. In the end, this must be arranged farther away from the risks, as far as possible.

No matter how smart Peng Xuewen was, he could not guess that his master was so desperate about the power struggle within the Military Control Commission. Seeing that being sent to Heishi Village to be a commissioner of the Chabei Special Administrative Office was a foregone conclusion, he stopped causing trouble for Ma Hansan. He nodded happily and agreed, and then joined the master to pack up his luggage.

That afternoon, he and his male secretary Liu Yuzhu took the master on the plane, and then spent another week preparing. After confirming that Ma Hansan had no trouble when he returned to the Chongqing headquarters of the Military Control Commission, he hurriedly embarked on the itinerary to go east with more than 100 brothers selected.

It was midsummer, the temperature on the grassland was moderate and the scenery was beautiful. The team of hundreds of people and guns was not big or small. As long as they did not deliberately approach the stronghold of the Mongolian garrison troops, the small groups of Japanese and traitors along the way did not dare to take the initiative to stop them. After walking leisurely for more than half a month, finally one day, I saw the pure black stone wall in my memory on the horizon again.

Before the brothers' amazement fell, a stream of yellow and green smoke rose from afar. Hundreds of men riding horses came over with shouts. The first one was Zhou Heicang, the commander of the independent battalion, wearing a straight military uniform of the general and school. The one in the summer was not hot, and the collar was tied tightly. He greeted him from afar, "Brother Peng is ahead, Zhou Heicang is waiting for you day and night, and finally he has you back."

"There is Commissioner Peng ahead, and our battalion commander brought your brothers to pick you up." The cavalrymen of other independent battalions also opened their voices and loudly reported to their homes.

"If I weren't there, anyone else," Peng Xuewen immediately activated his mount, ran forward with a smile, and spread his arms to Zhou Heichang according to the grassland etiquette.

The last time we met, the two of them had the same words, but at that time, because Peng Xuewen was carrying a special mission, the atmosphere of speaking was still a lot of awkward. Now, this embarrassment has disappeared. Both sides finally stood in the same camp and had to work hard for the same goal for a long time. So they both laughed and slowed down, first patted each other on the shoulder, then jumped off their mounts and hugged each other tightly on the ground, "Good brother, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

"So too, I didn't expect that I could plot against the Japanese again with you so soon."

After saying that, he hugged the other person's body with force several times at the same time, then quickly separated, looked at each other, raised his head and laughed.

"Okay, you Zhou Heichang's shotgun has changed. Looking at this general, I don't know, I thought you had also defected to the Huangpu Department and became the disciple of the emperor."

"It's a storefront, it's a storefront." Zhou Heichang's face turned red when he was teased, and he quickly explained loudly, "I don't wear this usually. Like my brothers, I wear a blue cloth uniform in Jinsui. This time, I want to be more serious in order to welcome you."

"We brothers are so polite," Peng Xuewen smiled and shook his head, his eyes slowly swept along the brothers behind Zhou Heichang. There were many familiar faces inside, all of whom were full of energy, including Li Laojiu, Wang Dazhuang, Has, and Balagencuo. Everyone was wearing clean Sui military uniforms, cross-back Cossack saber, waist and hip box cannon, and the big leather boots under his feet were shiny.

"Haha, it's really a shotgun replacement. It seems that Mr. Fu highly valued your independent battalion, the ocean knife, twenty sounds, cowhide boots, I haven't even got such a neat team at his headquarters." Peng Xuewen's eyes lit up and he laughed and praised.

"Hey, I laughed, I laughed, my brothers are poor, I finally made some money and I put them all on my body." Zhou Heitan smiled and bowed, with a hint of pride in his voice.

After the Wuyuan victory, in order to commend the military achievements of the Northern Route Army, the Military Committee of the National Government expanded the organization under Fu Zuoyi three times in one breath. The food and pay and military equipment were all supplied with the central government's direct troops. The scale of the Northern Route Army suddenly exceeded Yan Xishan's Jin faction, completely breaking away from the latter's control, and becoming one of the major domestic corps.

Fu Zuoyi's army management has always been clear in rewards and punishments. After receiving the generous gift from the central government, he immediately began to reward the generals under his command regarding their merits. After some evaluation, Zhou Heichang's independent battalion also suffered heavy damage to the enemy's army due to his cooperation with the 93rd Regiment and entered General Fu Zuoyi's eyes again. Although the organization was not upgraded, it was no longer a wild child that grandma didn't love and his uncle didn't love. The weapons, food, and wardrobes began to be supplied according to the specifications of a formal battalion. The battalion commander Zhou Heichang's rank was also promoted to the lieutenant colonel, and finally achieved his dream that year.

The only regret is that the superiors agreed to supply a battalion, but Zhou Heichang's Black Stone Independent Battalion could not find enough troops in a short period of time. Although he repeatedly relaxed the conditions for recruiting soldiers, he even began to recruit the horse thieves from the beginning. At present, there are only more than 300 brothers in the entire independent battalion, and he could barely get two companies together. The day for the third company to get together is far away.

"What about the Japanese? Is it that quiet recently? You have passed by Heishi City with great swagger. I'm not afraid that they will come out and fight you desperately." Seeing that Zhou Heicang was a little proud, Peng Xuewen couldn't help but remind him.

"They." Zhou Heitan curled his lips and sneered, "They dared to come out and mess with me. If the city walls of Heishi Village were not too thick, I would have been in."

"Oh, so awesome." Peng Xuewen was stunned for a moment, full of surprise. When Kawata's brigade was chasing the 93rd Regiment, Lao Qi and Zhang Songling joined forces to kill him and retaliate. He had known this news for a long time, but he didn't expect that the battle would hit Kawata's brigade so heavily that it actually made Kawata's Kwanaki lose the courage to go out of the city to fight, and he only dared to hide behind the city wall as a turtle.

"It's not that I'm awesome, it's that Kawada Kyohara is too cowardly." Zhou Heikang shook his head and added with a smile, "His boss is probably very disappointed with him, and has not sent new recruits to supplement it so far. At present, there are only two Japanese squadrons in the city of Blackrock, many of which are still wounded. If Kawada Kyohara dares to come out and die, without the cooperation of the guerrillas, I can swallow him in one bite."

"That's right, a group of defeated soldiers and lack the courage to leave the city." Peng Xuewen asked happily and casually, "Where are the guerrillas? How has they developed? Have Fat Zhang met you recently? Is he doing well?"
