I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 422: Gannan’s leaders held another meeting

The newly appointed provincial governor Cheng Songyuan (former Minister of Military Affairs) looked at Song Wenwan's impromptu speech (performance) in confusion.

He turned to the naval commander beside him and asked, "Ahem, has Commander Song always been like this?"

Chen Zhikuan curled his lips and said, "I was deceived by his few words at the beginning."

Song Wenwan was there, feeling very proud of herself, and finished her opening remarks.

Others thought he was just bragging, but in fact no one knew.

If Song Wenwan’s points were sufficient, she would have taken everyone to the moon to take a look.

Just think about it, if China could land on the moon in 1940, not only Japan, but the whole world would have to listen to China.

Just thinking about this is exciting, but Song Wenwan is just thinking about it because she doesn’t have enough points.

Because the confidentiality level of today's meeting has been raised, those who came here are all top leaders of Gannan.

As the top leader of the Civil Affairs Department, Cheng Songyuan was also invited to attend a meeting of this level for the first time.

It took him more than a month to completely integrate the civil affairs of the Gansu war zone.

The Gansu War Zone Provincial Government, which he presided over, became a strong backing for the development of the Gansu Army.

He also took time to go to Lanzhou and met with the leaders of the Ma family army.

He confirmed with him that the original vested interests remained unchanged, making the other party grateful to the Gansu Army.

It greatly stabilized the safety and stability of the Gansu Army’s rear.

Of course, what Song Wenwan needs is stability in the rear, so let them do whatever they want in remote areas.

As for when to take action against the Ma family army, it depends on the development situation in the country.

Cheng Songyuan also knew about what happened back then.

He knew the attitude of northern Shaanxi and knew that he would take action against the Ma family army sooner or later.

The division and disintegration within the Ma family army has been put on the agenda.

For a veteran official of the temporary capital government, this kind of secretive matter is a piece of cake.

Those attending the meeting included Lao Mo, Chief of Political Training (Chief Political Commissar) from the Gansu Theater.

There are Suo Wuxing and Qin Haichuan, the two deputy commanders-in-chief of the war zone.

There are also Ren Jiuge and Guan Zhan, the two chiefs of staff and deputy chief of staff of the theater, who had just rushed back from the front lines.

Then came Commander Chen Zhikuan from the Navy and "Vice President" Jing from the Air Force.

The person coming from the armored corps is Zhou Weiguo, who has been promoted from the president of the Armored Forces Academy to the commander of the Armored Corps.

Hao Dadan and Sun Desheng also came to attend the meeting today.

In order to adapt to the future large-scale combat methods.

Hao Dadan left the armored sequence and has been transferred to become the artillery commander.

Sun Desheng, who was already restless in the rear, was appointed by Song Wenwan as the commander of the Air Rangers.

As for the newly formed Air Rangers, what exactly do they do?

Sun Desheng, the lone commander, said he would keep his mouth shut.

But his proud chin kept rising higher and higher, making Hao Dadan so angry that his teeth itched.

This was also the case with Song Wenwan. She was almost going crazy looking at Sun Desheng in the back.

I secretly took him to watch a documentary.

As a natural born cavalryman, the feeling of flying freely in the sky is so exciting.

It immediately attracted Sun Desheng's attention completely.

Now Song Wenwan’s requirement for him is to read books, read the instructions, and study its various tactics.

Song Wenwan said that if you work in this field, you won’t be able to go to the battlefield within two years.

He couldn't even provide Sun Desheng with the physical stuff (that thing was too advanced and he didn't have enough points).

Unexpectedly, Sun Desheng praised this new gadget which he could not touch for the time being.

He immediately agreed to Song Wenwan's harsh condition.

Song Wenwan was thinking that with the battle in August, a huge amount of points would come pouring in.

When the time comes, it seems possible to get Sun Desheng an initial model to play with first.

Zhu Bei, as today's secretary, also attended the meeting.

The content of the meeting is too sensitive and confidential, so Zhu Bei is the most suitable person to take minutes.

Looking at the familiar faces present, Song Wenwan began to preside over the meeting.

"Dear colleagues, seniors, um, um, it should be comrades, it was a slip of the tongue just now, hahahaha...

Today's Gansu Theater Military Conference officially begins.

Today's agenda is not to tell you about the strength of each unit, so that you don't accuse me of padding the word count.

To be honest, every time you report on the development of the troops, I feel terrified.

One day, maybe you will tell me about an army of one million."

Political Commissar Mo quickly responded, "Commander Song, whether it is the Gansu Army or the Red Army, they are all our party's troops.

The leaders of northern Shaanxi have already said that if one day you really expand your army to one million people.

He will come to our Longnan in person to bring you a big red flower."

The restrictions imposed by the temporary capital on northern Shaanxi were too harsh.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army faced many restrictions when recruiting soldiers.

The Gansu Army was just the opposite. They had a good record against the Japanese Army.

In addition, they also occupied the name of "orthodoxy of the National Army".

Since they had both food and guns, the Gansu Army offered the cheapest soldiers when recruiting.

This resulted in the number of combat-capable (field) Gansu troops being nearly twice the number of military forces in northern Shaanxi.

This is also the reason why Song Wenwan has always sent well-trained soldiers to supplement the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

Song Wenwan believes that if local military becomes dominant, it will be unhealthy for the development of the army and will leave hidden dangers.

Just like what happened back then..., it’s better not to mention what happened back then, just remember the lesson.

Fortunately, he did not have any ambitions, and his brothers naturally followed his opinions.

Song Wenwan: "Our connections in Shanghai have already sent us intelligence.

These days, the Japanese troops in Shanxi may be quiet for a while.

We can see the attitude of the Japanese from the destruction of the Yamazaki Battalion.

The Japanese soldiers in Shanxi basically did not make any moves to avenge Yamazaki.

To the Japanese, it seemed that their victory had already arrived, and they even began to organize the veterans to retire.”

Brother Ren Jiu said: "Our intelligence department in Shanxi has also noticed the Japs' movement."

Zhou Weiguo: "After doing evil in China, they want to go back to their hometown to enjoy a good life. They are dreaming."

Song Wenwan said, "Brother Weiguo, please be patient. They can't escape with you around."

As soon as he said this, he attracted the attention of Sun Desheng and Hao Dadan.

Song Wenwan ignored them and continued, "In order to open up the mainland transportation line, the Japs will fight in the south in the near future.

And they will cooperate with the Chen puppet regime's Imperial Army to attack our New Fourth Army in Jiangnan."

Guan Zhan said: "This is an easy matter. It was not easy for us to fight in Jiangxi.

There are always many eyes watching our movements.

Now that the Imperial Army has come to us, we can wipe out several of their divisions at once.

Let those national army soldiers who are preparing to rebel also learn a lesson from this.”

Song Wenwan: "Lao Guan, how is the Iron Army's guard brigade doing now?"

Guan Zhan laughed and said, "You are talking about the Third Militia Division, they are very good.

They are now using two teams, the daytime ones are the Third Militia Division and the second brigade of the Nationalist Army soldiers.
