Chang Kaishen raised his head and asked, "Yanji, why don't you read on? Is there anything you want to keep from me?"

Chen Bulei sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "It's a telegram about the famine in Henan. According to the latest report sent by Associated Press reporter Frank, there has been a large-scale famine in the Nationalist Army in Henan, and even..."

"Even what?" Chang Kaishen said with a frown, "Don't hesitate, just keep talking."

Chen Bulei whispered: "I even used the word starving everywhere, especially along Longhai Road and Pinghan Road, where there are starving people lying there without food and clothing. Thousands of hungry people die every day..."

"Nonsense!" Chang Kaishen was so angry that he slammed his chopsticks on the dining table and said angrily, "It's scary to listen to. When Hanchu came to report to me yesterday, he clearly told me that Henan can overcome difficulties. It’s nothing more than a small disaster, these Western media just like to fan the flames and take the opportunity to make a big fuss, lest the world will not be chaotic!”

"Yes." Chen Bulei bowed his head and mumbled a reply, not daring to say a word.

Chang Kaishen's anger came and went quickly, and he quickly said: "Although the catastrophe in Henan is scary, we still have to beware of those people with ulterior motives who take the opportunity to make a fuss, especially those speculators who set prices on the ground. Immediately send a telegram to Hu Zongnan, asking him to transfer part of the grain reserves in Shaanxi to Luoyang, stabilize grain prices when necessary, and ensure that the 20 national army soldiers in the first theater have food to eat anyway.”

"Yes." Chen Bulei agreed, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Chang Kaishen continued, "Notify all departments and strictly seal all news about the famine in Henan. In this extraordinary period, the party-state must not mess with itself."

"Yes." Chen Bulei agreed and left.

As soon as Chen Bulei left, Tang Zong walked in.

"Principal." Tang Zong whispered, "Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi in Yubei seem to be showing signs of instability."

"What?" Chang Kaishen really didn't remember it all at once, and said with a blank face, "Chi Dianyuan, Zhao Xunqi?"

"Principal, they are the remnants of Pang and Sun." Tang Zong said with a little embarrassment, "After being severely injured by the [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army two years ago, the remnants of Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi have been hiding near Sen County. Superficially obeying Chongqing's order, but in fact secretly colluding with the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese."

"You mean these two people? I remembered." Chang Kaishen said, "What's the matter? These two people are tired of living a life of taking advantage of three sides, so they want to vote for the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese?"

Tang Zong said: "It should be that the Japanese don't allow them to reap the benefits."

After a pause, Tang Zong said again: "According to the information we have, Chi Dianyuan has agreed to accept the Japanese army's adaptation, but Zhao Xunqi is still hesitating, but the price has not yet been negotiated."

"These two bastards." Chang Kaishen's face immediately collapsed.

Taking the towel from the guard and wiping his mouth, Chang Kaishen said again: "They must be stopped!"

"Mr. Wei also means the same thing." Tang Zong whispered, "Mr. Wei hopes to dispatch an elite division from the [-]th Army or the [-]th Army to go to Northern Henan to control the situation and deter Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi."

After pondering for a moment, Chang Kaishen asked, "Is the second-level general officer class of Lu University about to finish?"

Tang Zong replied without hesitation: "Back to the principal, the second-level general officer of Lu University will graduate this morning."

"Did you graduate this morning?" Chang Kaishen was a little astonished, and then said again, "Well, you should call the Army University immediately and ask Chu Yunfei to come to Yunxiu Tower immediately."

Tang Zong called the Army University when he returned to the third group of servants.

After receiving the call, Chu Yunfei rushed to Yunxiu Building immediately.

"Principal." Chu Yunfei was brought into the study and saluted Chang Kaishen.

"Yunfei, you're here." Chang Kaishen put down the brush, waved and asked, "What do you think of my handwriting?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei walked to the desk, and saw that Chang Kaishen had written the four characters of "the mainstay" in italics, and saw that these four characters were written extremely vigorously, full of the spirit of a soldier.

"Good calligraphy." Chu Yunfei praised sincerely, "The principal's writing skills have improved again."

Chang Kaishen chuckled and said, "Since Yunfei likes it, then I'll give you this painting."

"Yunfei thanked the principal." Chu Yunfei was overjoyed when he heard the words, not only because of Chang Kaishen's gift of words, but also because there must be another layer of deep meaning behind Chang Kaishen's gift of words.

Sure enough, Chang Kaishen said: "Yunfei, do you know why I gave you these four words?"

"Students don't know." Of course Chu Yunfei wouldn't pretend to be smart at this time, he shook his head and said, "Please show me the principal."

"Come on, Yunfei." Chang Kaishen beckoned, and then led Chu Yunfei to the big map posted on the wall, and then reached out and patted the location of the Central Plains.

"Henan is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists."

"Now more than [-] counties in northern and eastern Henan have fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders."

"However, in the more than ten counties in northern Henan, there is still one county that still belongs to the Kuomintang-controlled area."

After a pause, Chang Kaishen continued: "This is Sen County, the Kuomintang-controlled area hanging in the middle of the Japanese-occupied area."

"This student knows." Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "Sun Dianying and Pang Bingxun's remnants are stationed in Sen County, that is, Chi Dianyuan's Temporary 1st Brigade and Zhao Xunqi's Temporary 2nd Brigade."

"That's right." Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "What is irritating is that Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi are secretly negotiating terms with the Japanese, planning to join the Japanese army as traitors."

"There is such a thing?" Chu Yunfei said in a daze, "Principal, we must stop them."

Chang Kaishen asked solemnly: "Yunfei, if you are asked to take the 89th Division to Northern Henan, do you have the confidence to prevent Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi from treason and defection to the enemy?"

"Of course." Chu Yunfei said without hesitation, "The students will definitely tell Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi that if they are willing to repent and turn over a new leaf, the students can pretend nothing happened, but if they persist in being traitors, then the students We can only deal with the two of them on the spot and incorporate them into their troops."

Chang Kaishen continued: "What if the actual strength of the 89th Division is only one regiment?"

"Ah?" Chu Yunfei said dumbfounded, "Principal, how come the 89th Division has only one regiment?"

Chang Kaishen said with a dark face: "Because not long ago, the 89th Division was attacked by a brigade of the Japanese 35th Division. Not only did they lose several counties east of Zhengzhou, but the troops also suffered heavy losses."

"Ah? A brigade?" Chu Yunfei was so angry that his face turned green.

A brigade of the Japanese army actually severely damaged an elite division of the national army?

Chang Kaishen sighed softly, and said, "Yunfei, although the 89th Division belongs to the [-]th Army, its past achievements are hard to describe in words. You need to encourage yourself after you take office."

The so-called self-encouragement means that everything can only depend on yourself.

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei also frowned all of a sudden.

As the saying goes, there are three stakes for one fence, and three gangs for one hero. If he is alone, even if he has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to rectify the remnants of the 89th Division, let alone suppress Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi.

At that moment, Chu Yunfei said: "Principal, can you transfer some students' old units from the Jin Army to the 89th Division?"

"This can be considered." Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "But at most, it will be a group of backbones. It is impossible to transfer your Jin Army's only brigade to the 89th Division as a whole."

"The backbone is enough." Chu Yunfei said happily when he heard the words, "It's enough."

"Okay." Chang Kaishen said happily, "Right now the 90th Division is resting in Xingyang, you go and join your troops, the country is facing difficulties, so I will no longer specially arrange money feasts for you."

"Farewell, students." Chu Yunfei raised his hand in salute.

"Go." Chang Kaishen said with a gentle face.

……

At this time, in a village in Changzhi.

Wang Ye has already led the Wolf Warriors to join the boss.

"Boss." Wang Ye snapped to attention and saluted the boss.

"Wang Ye." The boss chuckled, and replied with a military salute, "I'm more energetic than when I parted from Daxiawan two years ago."

"Boss, you are much thinner than you were two years ago." Wang Ye said sadly, it was true, the boss was almost out of shape, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.

"It's good to lose weight, and it's good to be healthy when you lose weight." The boss said with a smile, "This is what Chinese medicine says."

"Well, the boss is right." Wang Ye said happily, "Chinese medicine is a treasure handed down from our ancestors."

The boss waved his hand and said: "Not much nonsense, I specially asked you to come here for one thing, which is about the Chi Dianyuan Department and Zhao Xunqi Department of the National Army in Sen County."

"Chi Dianyuan? Zhao Xunqi?" Wang Ye said solemnly, "The remnants of Sun Dianying and Pang Bingxun?"

"Yes, they are the old troops of Sun Dianying and Pang Bingxun." The boss nodded, and then continued, "After the friction subsided, our Eighth Route Army had an agreement with them. Changzhi, Pingshun and Cixian were used as the dividing line, and our Eighth Route Army was to the north. The south is their territory. Later, when the Japanese army invaded northern Henan, Chi Dianyuan and the remnants of Zhao Xunqi retreated to a corner of Sen County, resulting in the fall of An County, Shanyang County, Heyin County and other counties. Going out of northern Henan is not considered crossing the border, but we have an agreement with Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi's troops after all, so you must not attack them."

Well, Boss Ganqing specially called him here because he was worried that they would attack the national army.

At that moment, Wang Ye fully agreed: "Boss, don't worry, we will definitely not mess around."

"For you, Xiao Wang, I'm still at ease." The boss nodded, and then said, "But for Li Yunlong, I don't want to be at ease. I called you here this time because I hope you can dissuade Li Yunlong when he has this idea. , let him not make Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi's ideas, so as not to provoke friction and destroy the overall situation of the War of Resistance."

Wang Ye's expression became serious, and he said: "Boss, you should tell our team leader yourself. As a subordinate, even if I tell him, he may not listen."

"Li Yunlong, I will definitely tell him." The boss nodded and said, "But you also have to persuade him not to mess around, and don't think about supplementing it from the national army just because of a shortage of ammunition, I know It is relatively easy to do so, but it will destroy the hard-won overall situation of the War of Resistance after all.”

"Yes." Wang Ye said solemnly.

Chapter 593 Reconnaissance behind enemy lines

After seeing the boss, Wang Ye immediately led more than [-] members of the Wolf Warriors Brigade to the north of Henan.

Wang Ye and the others took Fukou Xing in the Eight Xings of the Taihang this time. Although in front of the special forces of the Wolf Warriors Brigade, the Wanzhang cliff was no different from the smooth road, but the horses they rode didn't have wings, and the team members couldn't fly. Suo dropped a military horse weighing seven or eight hundred catties from the cliff, so he had to go Fukouxing.

This is also the reason why the Japanese army was able to block the traffic between the Taihang Military Region and the Southern Hebei Military Region by virtue of Taihang Mountain.

Because the Japanese army only needed to block Fukouxing and Jingxing in the north, they could easily cut off the traffic, and the mule and horse transport team of the Eighth Route Army could never fly over the Taihang Mountains.

That's why the head of the headquarters decided to establish the Northern Henan Anti-Japanese Base Area.

Because the anti-Japanese base area in northern Henan was established, Fukouxing was also opened up. After Fukouxing was opened up, the communication line between the Southern Hebei Military Region and the Taihang Military Region was opened up, and food from the Southern Hebei Military Region continued to flow into Taihang. The military region and the Taiyue military region, and the salt from the Taiyue military region can flow into the southern Hebei military region in reverse.

As a result, the Japanese cage policy was declared bankrupt.

Closer to home, Wang Ye led more than 30 team members all the way east along the road of Fukouxing, only to see hungry people with unkempt hair and ragged clothes along the way.

Some hungry people are staggering forward on crutches made of tree branches.

However, more hungry people sat on the side of the road with blank eyes, expressionless faces, and some simply lay down on the side of the road.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes passing by by the Wolf Warriors brigade, the hungry people turned their heads mechanically, but after a glance, they turned their heads again.

From the expressions and eyes of these hungry people, there is no trace of anger, as if they are walking dead.

It is now the end of November, and the weather is already extremely cold. It can be said that dripping water turns into ice, and it is even colder in the Taihang Mountains, but most of these hungry people have thin clothes.

Although a very small number of hungry people wore cotton clothes, they were so torn that even the cotton wool was exposed.

Many hungry people fell to the ground as they walked, and never stood up again. There were even more hungry people lying on the side of the road, their bodies already frozen stiff.

What kind of human tragedy is this?

Wang Ye felt an unprecedented heavy heart.

Suddenly, a baby's cry came from the front.

Wang Yeyou looked around and saw a disheveled woman sitting on the side of the road under the ridge.

The woman's hair was as messy as dry grass, the batting of the torn cotton padded jacket had long since fallen out, and the cover and clips had been torn into strips of rags, which could barely cover her body when hung on her body.

There was a little boy of three or four years old snuggling under the woman's armpit.

He was looking at them with his big flickering eyes.

The little boy's clothes are fairly complete, and there is even a tiger's head hat.

From the workmanship and material of the tiger head hat, it can be seen that it came from a wealthy family.

The woman was holding a baby in her arms, and the baby was trying to suck and suck the woman's breast exposed in the wind with its small red mouth, because it was too hard, and the little face was flushed.

But women's breasts have long since shriveled.

The baby started crying again when he couldn't suck the milk.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye completely broke his guard, and really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Little Huihui." Wang Ye turned around and said, "Give them a bag of dry food."

Wei Xilai let out a groan, and immediately got off his horse and brought a bag of dry food to the woman.

The woman was obviously stunned for a moment. After realizing that it was food, she immediately opened the cloth bag, then picked up the cylindrical cloth bag and poured it into her mouth like crazy. It was fried noodles, which were very dry, and she choked on it.

Seeing the woman lying there coughing violently, Wei Xilai was at a loss.

At this time, the hungry people around suddenly surrounded the woman, trying to snatch the dry food from the woman.

People who are hungry can do anything, but in order to survive, what is it to take food from women and children?This has nothing to do with human nature, but instinct, the instinct to survive.

The woman naturally refused to let go, and tightly protected the dry food bag in her arms.

Wei Xilai tried to stop it, but found it was futile. How could he stop so many hungry people by himself?

Wang Ye sighed softly, turned around and said to more than 30 team members: "Take out all the dry food and feed the victims."

Without the slightest hesitation, more than 30 wolf warriors unloaded the dry food bags they were carrying and put them on the ground.

Those hungry people finally stopped fighting for the bag of dry food in the woman's arms, and instead came to snatch the dry food sent by the wolf warriors.

Thirty bags of dry food were quickly robbed. Some of the dry food bags were grabbed by several hungry people at the same time, and the cloth bags burst open as they tore each other, and the fried noodles inside immediately spilled all over the floor.

Those hungry people immediately picked up the sand and gobbled it up.

Unexpectedly, none of the hungry people thanked them, only scrambling and eating frantically.

These hungry people can't even be regarded as human beings, but just beasts dominated by hunger.
