"You said that you were sent by General Li and General Ma?”In the Northern Army Command of Spring Town, Xue Lin was observing the smiling merchant in front of him.
When the merchant heard Xue Lin address Li Du and Ma Shan as generals, his tone was also respectful. He guessed that they should also belong to the camp of patriotic soldiers. He hurriedly said,"I am Zhou Hongwen. I am indebted to General Li, so this time, I volunteered to befriend Commander Xue and save the country together!”
Xue Lin listened to Zhou Hong Wen's passionate words and nodded but did not agree. Instead, he picked up the document Xue Si handed over and looked at it.
According to the current intelligence, Ma Shan led the Heilong Jiang Self-Defense Army and Li Du's JiLin Self-Defense Army to meet up in Ha City. The total number of soldiers was about 20,000. Most of them were veterans of the Northern Region Army. Half of them even participated in the Songqiao War and fought against the Second Division.
After Xue Lin sent a message to recover Spring City, General Li, General Ma, and General Feng formed the Northern Rescue Army in Ha City and were preparing for further action.
This time, they contacted Xue Lin to rope in Xue Lin's strength to fight against the Japanese invaders together.
According to what happened in history, the three generals of the National Salvation Army, Li Du, Ma Shan, and Feng Hai, were all patriotic generals. Among them, Ma Shan not only organized the Songqiao War of Resistance, but after the fall of Black Dragon Prefecture, in order to accumulate strength and materials to resist the Japanese pirates, he did not hesitate to endure humiliation and submit to the Japanese invaders. He used the identity of the fake governor of the Japanese pirates to appease him and secretly raised a portion of military expenses and military materials to be sent to Black River and other places for future use. Two months later, he would lead 200 of his trusted followers and secretly escape.
"Sit down and talk." After confirming that the merchant in front of him was indeed a man of lofty ideals who followed several generals in history, Xue Lin's attitude became much better.
"Thank you, Commander Xue!" Zhou Hong Wen was so happy that he bowed slightly before sitting down on a chair.
He thought that it seemed like Commander Xue was a patriotic general like General Li, so the following talks should be much better.
"How is the National Salvation Army doing?”Xue Lin signaled for the guards to pour Zhou Hong Wen a cup of tea and asked about the situation of the National Salvation Army. His spies were mainly targeting the Japanese pirates in the south, and his intelligence on the north was very limited.
After Zhou Hong Wen thanked him, he held his teacup and slowly said," At present, our National Salvation Army has three divisions and more than 20,000 people. They are all veterans of the Northern Region Army. Among them, the 1st and 2nd divisions that General Ma brought over are veterans who participated in the Song Qiao War. Their weapons and equipment are still alright. It's just that Song Qiao lost a lot of heavy weapons when he retreated. However, our morale is high. After Commander Xue recovered Spring City, we were encouraged and are preparing to counterattack Qihar!”
Although Zhou Hong Wen was being very tactful, Xue Lin could still hear the crux of the matter. Although the morale of the National Salvation Army was boosted by the recovery of Spring City, their weapons and equipment should be relatively poor.
After the September 18th Incident, the 200,000 Northern Region Army retreated to the pass. Li Du and Ma Shan were isolated and helpless. Although the government repeatedly sent messages to reward Ma Zhanshan for his courageous resistance, they did not give him a single bullet or a single soldier. It was all thanks to the people of the three northern counties that they had been able to survive until now.
It wasn't easy!
Xue Lin sighed and took a sip of his tea before saying to Zhou Hong Wen,"The Japanese pirates only have a small number of troops and puppet troops in the Qihar area to maintain law and order. Moreover, I have cut off the supply of supplies to Qihar at Chuncheng Station, so there is nothing to fear. If General Li is interested, why don't you go south and try to recover JiLin?”
"Ji Lin?" Zhou Hong Wen's eyes narrowed as he pondered.
"Yes." Xue Lin put down his teacup and took out a document from the drawer for Xue Si to pass to Zhou Hong Wen.
When Zhou Hong Wen took the document and flipped through it, Xue Lin explained,""These are the spoils of war we seized from the Japanese pirates and the supplies hoarded by the Japanese pirates in Spring City."
"8,700 Type 38 rifles, 40 light and heavy machine guns, 30 mortars and grenade launchers, 8 Type 92 infantry cannons, 4 Japanese Type 41 mountain cannons, and a large number of bullets and shells, as well as food from the two-compartment train.”Xue Lin looked at Zhou Hong Wen's surprised expression and smiled." They're all stored at the station. You can take them away at any time. It's our support for the National Salvation Army.”
"Commander Xue!" Zhou Hong Wen was completely shocked by Xue Lin's generosity.
With just the weapons and equipment, it was enough to arm two divisions of the National Salvation Army! Even in the Japanese pirate army, it was considered an exploration team!
"We're both fighting against the pirates, so it's only right for us to help each other. Besides, the Northern Battlefront Army has its own supply system. These weapons and equipment won't be of any use to us. You can take them with you.”Xue Lin said indifferently.
"Commander Xue is righteous!" Zhou Hong Wen stood up and cupped his fists at Xue Lin."I thank Commander Xue on behalf of the twenty thousand soldiers of the National Salvation Army!”
"I will contact General Li and the others immediately after I return to study the feasibility of going south to JiLin!”After all, General Li was the commander of the army, so Zhou Hong Wen couldn't make any promises.
Xue Lin smiled at this. With his own Northern Battlefront Army in Spring City, he believed that Li Du and Ma Shan would know what to do to open up the situation in the Northern Territory!
After sending Zhou Hongwen off, Xue Lin started to get busy again. He received intelligence and battle reports from the front line, the construction of the new recruits, the secret formation of the tank regiment, the improvements made to the BT-7 fast tank in the combat laboratory, the further expansion of the air force, and the notice of peace for the people.
Xue Lin was busy until the bright moon was in the sky and the stars were in the sky. He finally finished his day's work and dragged his tired body back to his bedroom in the headquarters and fell into bed.
" Commander…Commander Xue, wash up before you sleep…" In a daze, a delicate and pleasant voice entered her ears.
He suddenly turned over from the bed and saw a snow-white face with curved eyebrows and small mouth. She was smart and obedient, holding a washbasin and towel and looking at him timidly.
The young girl's quiet and beautiful face was about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her hair was tied up like a little maid.
" Hey, wait a minute. Isn't this the maid that the old lady of the Zhao family gave me last time?'Xue Lin rubbed his temples and remembered. Didn't he throw this girl who had learned medical skills to the hospital?
"Why are you here?" He sat on the bed and asked with a straight face.
