Suiyuan.

Fu Zuoyi fought bloody battles with Japanese troops in Baotou for three days and three nights. While achieving great results, his main force, the 35th Army, also suffered heavy casualties.

At the end of the rat eradication campaign, Fu Zuoyi's troops also withdrew from Baotou City and retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River.

This is a group of tough anti-Japanese men!

Seeing the 35th Army slowly withdrawing into the city, Qu Xianming sighed sincerely in his heart.

When he saw Fu Zuoyi again, he found that the latter's face was covered with weather and fatigue, but his eagle-like eyes were still sharp.

"Commander Fu, you and your brothers have worked hard." Qu Xianming said sincerely.

The orderly poured a basin of hot water for Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi asked casually while washing his face in the white mist:

"What good things did Brother Qu bring me this time?

Let me make it clear first, you have already seen the situation of the brothers, and it is impossible to fight with the little devils in a short time."

Qu Xianming waved his hand hurriedly,

"Commander Fu has misunderstood. Commander Jiang and the 39th Army Corps are deeply grateful for everything the commander has done. I am still here to deliver supplies to the commander.

Commander Jiang considered that there must be a large number of wounded in Commander Fu's troops after the bloody battle, so he asked me to bring two additional trucks of sulfa, hoping to save the lives of the brothers to the greatest extent and allow them to return to the battlefield to fight the Japanese.

In addition to two carts of sulfa, there are several carts of bullets and artillery shells. The consumption of supplies by Commander Fu in the Battle of Baotou must have been huge. Although the things I brought are small, they can be supplemented slightly."

Fu Zuoyi's face emerged from the mist. He stared at Qu Xianming, the meaning in his eyes was difficult to understand.

After half a minute, he looked away, wrung out the towel with his hands and feet, and wiped the water stains on his face and neck.

"My brothers and I have been fighting against the little devils with passion over the years. We occasionally received donations from caring people, but it was a drop in the bucket. Although the government issued many commendations and promoted many people, but

The actual material replenishment only occurs once or twice every year and a half."

Fu Zuoyi threw the towel aside, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it before continuing:

"I have heard Jiang Dong's name for a long time, and many people in the Northern Route Army know what he did in Shanxi. Although there are some brothers who cannot say such things on weekdays, I know that they all admire Jiang Dong in their hearts.

Me too!"

Qu Xianming smiled and nodded, listening to Fu Zuoyi continue.

"We are all Chinese soldiers, and we should do our best when the country and the nation are in danger. Baotou means all the soldiers of the Northern Route Army. We have long disliked the little Japs.

It is the right thing to cooperate with the 39th Legion to fight against the enemy."

"The Japanese 41st Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and the 13th Independent Guards have all been wiped out in Jiexiu. To achieve such brilliant results, the North Route Army's containment operations are also very critical." Qu Xianming intervened at the right time.

One sentence.

"Hahaha..." Everyone likes to hear good things. Fu Zuoyi changed his serious face and burst out laughing.

"You guys from the 39th Legion are interesting and your words are beautiful. It's a pleasure to work with you!"

The two of them walked to the unloading site one after another, where boxes of sulfa were being unloaded by soldiers of the 35th Army.

After Fu Zuoyi personally opened the box and inspected it, the smile on his face became even more friendly.

He patted Qu Xianming's shoulder and lowered his voice and said:

"I have seen the sincerity of the 39th Army. Go back and tell your Commander Jiang. The Yellow River will help us create fighter opportunities in the spring next year. We can also cooperate with you then. I will try to win Baotou in one battle."

Qu Xianming kept these words in mind, and then asked:

"In order to make future contact more convenient, we hope to set up an office in Suiyuan. Of course, Commander Fu can also send people to Jincheng to set up an office. What do you think of this proposal?"

The Military Intelligence Bureau has a contact point in Suiyuan, but it is on a hidden front and cannot be exposed. The office is official and can communicate openly.

Fu Zuoyi agreed after thinking for a while.

…

Jiangdong's established strategy is to recover all of Shanxi, then Suiyuan and Jehol, and finally go straight to the Northeast, work with the Soviets to eliminate the Kwantung Army, and then control the Northeast as a food and industrial base.

In this strategy, Fu Zuoyi is very critical.

Suiyuan, Rehe, Chahar and other places are all old battlefields of Fu Zuoyi's anti-Japanese war. If both sides can work together, there will be less trouble in the implementation of the Jiangdong strategy.

Furthermore, Fu Zuoyi was a true anti-Japanese soldier, and Jiangdong was willing to provide support to such anti-Japanese soldiers without asking for anything in return.

…

Jincheng, 39th Army Corps Headquarters.

After Jiang Dong went to Pingyao, Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan made all the decisions regarding the army in southeastern Shanxi.

The Air Defense Command wiped out the invading Japanese aviation units. The Japanese 4th Division on the Pinghan-Hankou Railway was suppressed by the 3rd Division outside Dongyang Pass. The Japanese independent mixed 11th Brigade in Fan Village failed to move further south. The 4th Division

and the 5th Division had an absolute advantage over the Japanese 116th Division...

Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan lived up to Jiangdong's expectations. They not only defended the great business of southeastern Shanxi, but also beat the crap out of the little devils who coveted it.

Seeing that except for the direction of Xiyang, all other wars were coming to an end, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"The legion commander will be back tomorrow. After he comes back, recruits from all over the country should be able to be reorganized. The 39th legion will soon have seven main divisions."

The tea cup in Xie Chengrui's hand was steaming. He slumped in the chair, looking very relaxed.

"There is also good news from Lao Wang. Lao Maozi is very fast, and our tractor factory will start production soon." Wu Zhan sat upright.

"Speaking of which, what should we name the tractor we produce? The cigarette is called Jiangjun, and this tractor..."

The two kept chatting on this topic, talking about the future production of trucks and tanks.
Chapter completed!
