Xiang Ying was still a little hesitant and said the same thing. He would never give up the power in his hands unless he had no choice.

The New Fourth Army is far away on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so he can firmly control the military power of the New Fourth Army as the secretary of the Southeast Bureau. Commander Ye Ting is just a puppet he can knead at will. But if the New Fourth Army headquarters is moved to the north bank of the Yangtze River, Yan'an's control over the New Fourth Army will be greatly strengthened, and he, the secretary of the Southeast Bureau, may no longer be able to interfere in the military affairs of the New Fourth Army.

"Secretary Xiang, can't hesitate anymore." Seeing that Xiang Ying was still hesitating, Zhou Zikun was anxious and advised loudly, "If he hesitates, something big will happen."

Xiang Ying looked up and saw that the commanders and fighters attending the meeting and the party members Yu Bu all supported him and immediately retreated to Jiangbei. If he continued to stay, it would inevitably arouse public anger, which would greatly weaken his leadership authority. He had to compromise at the moment and said in a pondering manner: "Since everyone supports it, I won't say much, let's do it like this..."

However, before Xiang Ying finished speaking, a staff officer hurried in and handed a letter to Xiang Ying.

After Xiang Ying quickly finished reading the telegram, his face suddenly showed an expression of ecstasy, and then he handed the letter to Ye Ting.

After reading the telegram, Ye Ting's face was slightly dark. The letter was sent by Liang Dada, the commander of Qingyang Independent Regiment. The 19th Detachment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army successfully counterattacked in Longkou, completely wiped out the main force of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Regiment, killed more than 2,000 Japanese invaders, and killed the brigade commander Tengdo Gaoying.

Seeing Xiang Ying and Ye Ting and his two looked abnormal, the hearts of the commander and party member Yu Bu who attended the meeting were instantly hanging.

After circulating the letter, the entire conference room was in an instant, and the officers and party members and cadres present all discussed it enthusiastically.

"This Xu Shijiu is really OK. All of them destroyed two infantry brigades in the Japanese, plus a cavalry brigade, and there were two thousand people in the small."

"What did I say back then? I said that Xu Shijiu would never betray, and he would never betray. You just don't believe it. Now, what's wrong? I have nothing to say, right? Hehe, what a corpse is resurrected, beautiful, Yu De"

"Old He, I remember when you were still in southern Jiangsu, you seemed to have had a deal with Xu Shijiu?"

"No, when it comes to Xu Shijiu, it's really impossible to accept it. The other person's tactical command is amazing.

"Okay, don't brag anymore. No matter how powerful he is, won't it force Japan to be able to betray himself and refrain from tricks to get back the situation?"

"Old Xing, you said that, what's wrong with the trick? My ancestors said that soldiers are tricks. When using troops, they must be fooled by soldiers. Who stipulates that they will not be allowed to surrender? As for the deceitful deeds, as long as they can defeat the Japanese, what's the point? If I can destroy several brigades of Japanese, I am willing to be a traitor. Damn, this traitor is worth it."

When more than a dozen senior commanders and party member Yu Bu were in the heat of discussion, Xiang Ying tapped the table with his fingers, making a sound of shells. The noise in the conference room gradually calmed down, and everyone's eyes gathered on Xiang Ying again. It has to be said that Xiang Ying is still capable and has great prestige in the hearts of the commanders and fighters of the New Fourth Army.

"Comrades, as the main force of the 14th Brigade of the Independence of the Little Japan was eliminated by the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, the situation of the War of Resistance in southern Anhui has undergone earth-shaking changes. Given that the situation has undergone great changes, I think we can no longer look at the problem with the old eyes. Ah, we must keep up with the situation, so let's wait for the matter to retreat to Jiangbei."

"Secretary Xiang, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer, right?" Ye Ting couldn't help but say, "The central government has already made it very clear."

The opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were indeed very clear. Two consecutive telegrams with stern words urged Xiang Ying to lead the New Fourth Army headquarters, the teaching corps and the Jiangnan Detachment to Jiangbei as soon as possible, which is enough to explain the problem.

"The central government is far away in Yan'an, and I don't understand the specific situation in southern Anhui." Xiang Ying waved his hand and said lightly, "The consistent purpose of our Communists is to seek truth from facts and analyze specific issues in detail, right? If the central government knows the situation in southern Anhui, I believe they will definitely change their decisions and will not ask us to give up southern Anhui. After all, it is not easy for us to create a base in southern Anhui. What a pity to give up?"

Xiang Ying said so, what else can Ye Ting say?

Looking around again, the party member Yu Bu was no longer as strongly requested to transfer as before. After all, everyone knew that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui had a bad relationship with the Kuomintang. If the New Fourth Army could join forces with the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, they would not be afraid of the provocations of the Third War Zone of the Kuomintang.

"Let's leave the meeting." Xiang Ying waved his hand and announced the meeting, and said, "Comrade Hu Zhijing stayed."

After a while, Xiang Ying was left in the huge conference room, and the room was filled with smoke, and Hu Zhijing, deputy director of the Political Department of the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army.

"Comrade Zhijing, I want to transfer you to the Southern Anhui Provincial Party Committee as secretary." Xiang Ying did not go around the circle with Hu Zhijing, and he made his thoughts straight to the point, "Do you have any personal differences?"

"No objection." Hu Zhijing is also an old party member, very honest, "resolutely obeying the organization's arrangements."

"Okay, then that's all for this matter." Xiang Ying nodded and said, "At this stage, the main task of the Southern Anhui Provincial Party Committee is actually only one, that is, to do its best to fight for Xu Shijiu and fight for the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Even if Xu Shijiu cannot fight for it in the end, it must also ensure that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army stands on the same front as our New Fourth Army."

"Don't worry, Secretary Xiang, I will do my best." Hu Zhijing responded very seriously.

Xiang Ying nodded and said, "In terms of specific personnel, Lao Hu, do you have any requirements?"

"No requirements." Hu Zhijing responded frivolously, "I firmly believe that the organization will make arrangements."

"Old Hu, you are really a sloppy." Xiang Ying smiled and pointed at Hu Zhijing, then continued, "Since that's the case, I will recommend a candidate suitable for serving as the secretary of the Longkou County Party Committee. Look at how Xiao Liu is like

"Liu Chang?" Hu Zhijing frowned and said in a low voice, "Secretary Xiang, is it not suitable?"

Hu Zhijing didn't have a good impression of Liu Chang. When Liu Chang first arrived at the Southern Jiangsu Water Guerrillas, because he was a military command sent by his superiors and had also been to college, He Keqi valued him very much and even asked him to command a battle independently. However, due to Liu Chang's blind command, the Southern Jiangsu Water Guerrillas suffered great losses.

Since then, He Keqi no longer believed in Yu's subordinates sent by his superiors, and this problem cannot be changed until now.

As a party representative of the Southern Jiangsu Water Guerrillas at that time, Hu Zhijing certainly would not leave any good impression of Liu Chang.

More importantly, there are still great doubts in Liu Chang's resume. He was once captured by the Japanese army in Qingyang County. Although he was rescued later, no one knows what happened during the arrest. According to organizational practice, Liu Chang should not hold a specific position again, and he should not be allowed to hold a position like the secretary of the Longkou County Party Committee.

Otherwise, if Liu Chang really has surrendered to Japan in secret, it will cause great losses to the party.

"You mean the last time Xiao Liu was captured in Qingyang County?" Xiang Ying said lightly, "Facts have proved that our worries are redundant. Comrade Liu Chang is a Communist Party member who can stand the test. Xiao Liu is young and energetic. He has also studied in Yan'an Anti-Japanese University. He is first-class in our New Fourth Army in terms of theoretical level and practical experience. I believe he will become the most powerful Yu Jiang under Lao Hu."
