~.-~(...bearing countless misunderstandings and slander, you can only choose to continue fighting for your mission; because you are a soldier rather than a politician, you cannot argue or argue with others; you can only fight... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

This time, the one who came to see Cao Xiaomin was not a wedding reception but Yu Youren.

Because he hated evil, Yu Youren became friends with Cao Xiaomin after his anti-corruption campaign in Chongqing. Many of the anti-corruption law enforcement teams equipped by his newly established Independent Commission Against Corruption Office were also drawn from those who had been dead for life on the battlefield and had a serious war-weariness but were upright. Also because of Cao Xiaomin's existence, those departments that had been lukewarm and unlucky about this Independent Law Enforcement Team and did not dare to wear Yu Youren's shoes anymore: the equipment that he had not applied for through the police route was actually sent directly by Cao Xiaomin in Guangdong to send his troops out of the equipment to the law enforcement team!

Now Yu Youren has a unit with more than 1,000 well-equipped troops in his hands. The Supervisory Office and other units he presided over in Chongqing do not have to look at people's faces everywhere. Such a friendship is so strong that it is no longer strong, but Yu Youren came here this time to tell Cao Xiaomin that he could not attend the wedding!

"I'm really sorry, Brother Liehou, your wedding banquet can't be drunk..." Yu Youren brought a large number of materials and said, "In Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces, there have been large-scale bandits, and these bandits have gradually shown signs of military participation. I have to go and deal with it myself immediately... This time, the old brother came here to ask you to say hello to the garrisons in various places and to mobilize some troops to the old brother..."

Another news that surprised Cao Xiaomin. He never expected that the Japanese suddenly retreated and left a vacuum area, causing such a big trouble!

It is reasonable to think about it carefully: if the Japanese surrender, maybe everything will be handed over and it will be fine; but when they retreat, how many troops who are afraid of being beaten dare to immediately take over the territory? In the war-torn world, if there is a gun, the king of grass heads, so many messy armed forces are entangled together~~----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The frequent occurrence of bandits and disasters found in Cao Xiaomin's eyes are already clear, which is a complex force belt entangled by multiple forces. For example, Guangdong, northern Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, eastern Anhui and other confrontational forces are relatively clear, basically the main force of the Central Army or the main force of the Guangxi Army. The Guangdong Army is the dominant area where the Japanese are fighting against the Japanese, and there are no serious cases of bandits. Moreover, there will be no overflow of situations.

It seems that it is really not easy for Yu Youren to go to the three provinces to manage bandits this time, and maybe he will make a big fuss. Cao Xiaomin hurriedly wrote a telegram to Li Tianhao, Liu Qing, and Guan Linzheng without saying a word, so that they could fully support Yu Youren's work no matter what. Half an hour had passed, and Yu Youren's gratitude to Cao Xiaomin was even more unparalleled.

"This time I go to the Central Plains, I will likely encounter the relationship between the two parties and various local forces that have to be settled. The work is very difficult. To be honest, I am very worried about Ren Gong's personal safety..." Yu Youren said "old brother" and "brother". Cao Xiaomin dared not act rashly: "I have sent a telegram to Liu Qing. After Ren Gong arrives in Zhengzhou, an old brother named "Old Bed Bug" will personally lead a guard company to take charge of security... Ren Gong does not need to refuse. Liehou did not want the tragedy of Humen back then (referring to the incident of Zhu Zhixin mediating the chaos in Humen and being killed by both sides in stray bullets); today, Chongqing and even the entire Republic of China still rely on Ren Gong to support a blue sky!"

When Cao Xiaomin said this, Yu Youren refused: "Don't worry, brother, I had already greeted all aspects before coming; I just went to the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing, and Director Zhou would also send a working group to accompany me. Although the regional situation is complicated, I think it can still be suppressed..."

Cao Xiaomin was stunned. Although he knew that Yu Youren had always had a good relationship with **. He had written a newspaper header for the Xinhua Daily in Wuhan. However, he didn't expect that he would just play house and go there just by just a casual trip and could send Zhou Enlai to him to take care of him. It seems that he had to straighten out his work in such a complex environment. He was really not qualified to do it. At this moment, he thought that the "old bedbug" had arranged several military-official spies to enter the guards for surveillance and reconnaissance to prevent the operation from being used for other activities, so he no longer had to worry about anything else.

After talking about the serious matter, Yu Youren talked about the recent "Cao Fengstorm" in Chongqing: "Mr. Liehou, my brother has been busy these days and is worried about the gangs in various places ahead. However, one day, he saw a policeman beating a group of students marching and demonstrating in the downtown area. He went to stop him and found that those students were protesting against the sabotage of peace. The brother felt that the people were disappointed and angry that the peace might be lost. I don't have to take it to heart..."

Alas! Cao Xiaomin sighed in his heart when he heard this: Mr. Ren, Mr. Ren. Do you really think this matter has something to do with me? He didn't speak up: "These days, Marquis Lie has been preparing for the marriage and has never left the door. I only learned what Mr. Ren said in the evening. I just thought about it. Maybe someone flattered the horse's legs. I will go and talk to Brother Chunfeng later. It is not possible that there will be any major aftermath... "

Seeing that Cao Xiaomin was nothing, Yu Youren was relieved to see that he was not serious about this matter.

The news brought back by "Lao Niao" this afternoon is big or small. If it is enlarged, it may allow me to step down at least avoid the edge. If it is small, it may be left alone. But from my own analysis, since it is very likely that the old man will do it himself. As long as he still wants to use himself, he will not make things bigger... But if he doesn't do anything, it will give people the feeling that it is a soft persimmon that can be pinched by others. In any case, he has to come up with a way that he can get out of trouble without him.

After thinking for a while, Cao Xiaomin felt a little clueful, but at this time his subordinates said that the dinner was about to begin. This meal was another meal with some local heroes, and another "feast" that didn't know how delicious it was.

Cao Xiaomin pulled Dai Li, who was accompanying him at the banquet, and said it was very relaxed, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing: "Those policemen were probably worried that my wedding would be affected and that their affairs would be too hot; in fact, they didn't have to treat the young people who were demonstrating like this. This time they flattered and mistook them. I think it was the brothers of the Military Control Commission to do their jobs safely, and this matter would be a big brother... By the way, they made things a little difficult to deal with in the previous paragraph. If they were asked to stop immediately, things might get out of control. I think they would let the brothers of the Military Control Commission continue to arrest people, but don't beat them, and let them educate those guys; they just say that someone wanted to conspire to me and let them not be used by others. As for whether they believe it or not, just keep the situation under control."

Cao Xiaomin spoke in person, Dai Li naturally knew what to do. If he did this, he would also mess up, and he would be embarrassed to call him brother in front of Cao Xiaomin. Suppress the situation first, and don’t rush out the tricks later. It is not wise to solve the problem and rush forward in the situation that is unfavorable to him. It is not too late to show it when the situation is over the peak...

"As I expected, the Japanese army will have a fierce counterattack after retreating this time; the current chaos in the various rehabilitation areas is the only reason why the Japanese army suspended the counterattack, but this counterattack will definitely come. All war zones must be prepared. The total strength of the Japanese counterattack this time will not be greater than the total number of troops occupied before, but our army was dispersed because of the seizing territory, and the enemy is fighting together. If the response is inappropriate, it is very likely that the troops will be defeated or even wiped out. But if our army uses it properly, this battle will once again cause heavy casualties to the Japanese army..." When Cao Xiaomin was stabbed countless times behind him, he continued to busy writing combat guidance plans for various war zones all night after the dinner!

Judging from the intelligence, the Japanese used peace talks with China to make the border between Manchuria and Mongolian tense, and the plan to gather the Soviet army has been completed. The next step should start to suddenly change face with China, and even announce that they will add several troops to China, etc. to numb the Soviets, that is, their counterattack should be started.

Will the Japanese choose a "meaningful" day like themselves to fight this battle? For example, on their wedding day... Maybe, but maybe not, don't guess it, as long as the war zones are ready to fight. As long as the Japanese launch an attack, it will be the signal of Chennard's air strike plan - after preparing for so long, how can they be worthy of "Old Chen" if they don't blow him up?

After witnessing the Guangdong army making full use of special geographical and cultural conditions to fight so many incredible tactics, Cao Xiaomin had to look at the previous local combat situation when formulating plans for each war zone to see if he could find out any new local special combat tools such as "mud horses" and "shit boats". The combat plans he formulated all had more solemn local characteristics, so he spent a lot of effort, which could be said to have worked hard.

"Cao Xiaomin of course hopes that the Japanese will fight back, so that he will not have to face such great pressure on public opinion..." Yan Xishan put down the plan that Cao Xiaomin gave him personally and said with a smile: "This is obviously an alarmist... well, just treat it as a military exercise to make the troops nervous; send it back to Shanxi... What? Cao Xiaomin sent it himself in the name of the headquarters?... Humph, did he think his hand could really reach into Shanxi?!"

Like Yan Xishan, not every war zone is very considerate of the preparation for the general mobilization this time...~.-~
