Chapter 331 Cold Winter, Warm Winter 7

Jiao Sishang's current legal identity is the shareholder and second shopkeeper of Wantong Trading in Wan'an County, and Wantong Trading is the major shareholder of Asia Trading Company. With the cover of this legal identity, Pan Ke now has a very convenient time to travel between Wan'an and Shuizhi. It is precisely because of this identity that he issued an identity certificate and a trade certificate from the puppet army, and it was also very smooth to come from Shuizhi to Sangyu Town.

According to general circumstances, all personnel and materials of both parties will be closely controlled by both parties, and it is generally impossible to have any exchanges.

However, a very strange phenomenon occurred on the Chinese battlefield. Although both sides of the warring parties explicitly prohibited the exchange of personnel and materials, in fact, except for real strategic materials, everything else was not completely banned.

The most typical example is that after the so-called puppet Manchukuo was founded, although the National Government did not recognize its legitimacy, the train from Northeast to Beiping did not stop. Both sides sold tickets to passengers, and personnel and goods were still exchanged through trains, and they could get off after a simple inspection by the military and police of both sides. In addition, the postal routes between the two sides were not cut off, and the communication between the people was still relatively convenient.

On the one hand, this is because China is too large, even if both sides want to cut off, they cannot be banned due to water and land connections: In addition, because the people of both sides cannot cut off their economic ties, the rulers on both sides also need to obtain the economic benefits they need through trade, so this strange phenomenon is no longer surprising.

Pan Ke had two purposes for this time. One was to personally send the Japanese and puppets to the cause of no attack. The other was to write a letter. In the letter, Ye urgently asked the Asia Trading Company to start a new business as soon as possible.

After Pan Kewei arrived in Sangyu Town, he was sent to Qinghe because Li Qinglin lives in Qinghe now.

When Pan Kewei came, Li Qinglin naturally had to greet him personally. However, Pan Kewei did not follow Li Qinglin into the shack, but looked around carefully, and then smiled and said, "Brother Li, where is the Motianling Mountain here? Motianling has mountains and caves, which are both safe and convenient. This place where birds do not shit is clean, I think your third brigade is changed to Wheel Brigade."

Li Qinglin asked Pan Kewei to enter the shack where he lived. He asked Pan Kewei to sit by the charcoal basin to cook the fire, and smiled and said, "Brother Pan, although Motianling is good, it is too far from Sangyu Town. Once, it was because my large army could not support it in time, so the people suffered a great disaster. We are stationed here now to be able to support it in the fastest time."

Li Qinglin poured Pan Ke a cup of tea and continued, "Don't look at the fact that I have all shacks now, but this shack is so good that it is very warm."

Ding Goudan walked in with a few plates, containing some melon seeds and desserts.

Pan Ke picked up a small snack and said, "I can eat snacks at any time when I live in the shack. I live a very good life."

Li Qinglin said: "What's the matter? Now many merchants regard this place as the second Sangyu Town. Many shacks there are their warehouses. They also open shops, restaurants and hotels. It is very convenient to buy many things..."

Pan Ke took a few sips of tea to eat some snacks, and then began to talk to Li Qinglin about the important things.

The Japanese had already added troops in Wan'an according to Sasaki's plan. They should have come to Sangyu Town to "attack" two days ago, but on the eve of their preparation for departure, the Japanese North China Front Army sent an urgent telegram, and in the message, the Japanese North China Army asked them to take a temporary defensive.

It turned out that one of Sun Dianying's troops had reached the northern part of Lin County, but the total number of its troops was far from the 10,000 people estimated as before, but reached 20,000. This made the Japanese North China Front Army very worried. Therefore, it ordered all Japanese and puppet troops stationed in northern Henan to stick to the defense zone to prevent Sun Dianying from taking advantage of the situation.

Sun Dianying was from Yongcheng, Henan Province. Because he had smallpox when he was a child, he left a marijuana on his face after he recovered from illness, so he was nicknamed "Sun Marijuana".

Sun Dianying's father was quite chivalrous in the ancients. During the Qing Dynasty, he was falsely accused by the bannermen and died in prison by the Qing Dynasty. His father died in prison on the day he was imprisoned. Therefore, Sun Dianying hated the Qing Dynasty very much, which left an excuse for him to steal the tombs of Qianlong and Cixi in the future.

Influenced by his father, Sun Dianying was also bold and chivalrous since childhood. He often associates with the city's heroes and is determined to travel around the world with chivalrous spirits. When he grew up, Sun Dianying made a lot of money by making gangsters and villains, military, police and clerks, and trafficked all kinds of goods between the sea, so he made a lot of profits. Because he was treacherous, cunning, eloquent, and willing to make a lot of money to make friends with various relationships, he gained a good reputation among the heroes of the world.

While walking in the world, Sun Dianying joined a large sect in northern Henan to organize a temple meeting. Because he had many eloquent ideas and was smart and decisive in his work, Sun Dianying gradually became a "teacher class and became an important leader of the temple meeting until he finally became the leader of the temple meeting.

When Sun Dianying was young, he surrendered to the army and went through many years of warlord melee until he finally surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek, and became the commander of the 41st Army after the September 18th Incident.

Although Sun Dianying was very speculative at this time, he was still a nationalist and he still resolutely resisted the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

In 1932, more than 30,000 Japanese troops attacked Rehe. Sun Dianying led his troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese army in Chifeng for seven days and nights, retreated to Houtougou Gate, and continued to fight with the Japanese army for more than ten days. Finally, he retreated to Chahar due to poor strength and defeat in the army.

In May 1933, Feng Yuxiang, Ji Hongchang, Fang Zhenwu and others established the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army in Zhangjiakou. They strongly invited Sun Dianying, who was also from the Northwest Army, to lead the troops to join: At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek sent people to use the position of Chahar Provincial Chairman as bargaining chip to ask him to send troops to attack the Allied Army. Sun Dianying was in a dilemma at this time and did not express his opinion on both sides, so he was hated by Chiang Kai-shek.

In 1934, Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that Sun Dianying might join forces with Feng Yuxiang again, so he appointed him as the Qinghai Reclamation Supervisor and transferred his troops from Chahar. The four men, Ma Bufang, Ma Buqing, Ma Hongbing, and Ma Hongbin, who occupied the northwest, did not welcome his arrival, so he performed a "four horses to resist Sun" battle in the northwest. Sun Dianying's troops had been attacking Ningxia City for a long time, and two brigade commanders of his subordinates turned against each other again, and Sun Dianying was in a dilemma.

At this time, Yan Xishan took the opportunity to send troops to cut off his retreat. Chiang Kai-shek explicitly ordered his position to be revoked. Sun Dianying had to lead the remnants to retreat east. In April, Sun Dianying returned to Baotou and then went to Jin Temple to retire. His remnants were annexed by Yan Xishan.

In February 1936, Song Zheyuan appointed him as the commander of the security guard in Chabei, but this was just a false position: after the July 7 Incident, Song Zheyuan appointed him as the commander of the civilian army in northern Hebei, which was a real position. Sun Dianying took the opportunity to absorb a large number of soldiers, police and students who retired from Pingjin, and his troops quickly expanded to more than 10,000.

In the summer of 1939, Sun Dianying met Chiang Kai-shek in the Wuhan Jin Dynasty with the introduction of the Kuo Li. Chiang Kai-shek gave him the name of the Fifth Army. Sun Dianying was grateful to call Chiang Kai-shek "rebirth parents". Starting from winter, all Sun Dianying's troops were reorganized into the New Fifth Army and gradually retreated to Lin County.

Northwest Henan is the base camp of the Miaodao Association, with many believers and all walks of life. After the vanguard of the New Fifth Army arrived in Lin County, Sun Dianying used his appeal to be the leader of the Miaodao Association to recruit a large number of congregations to join the New Fifth Army. Before all the main forces of the New Fifth Army had arrived, the number of new personnel in Lin County had reached an astonishing 10,000.

The Eighth Route Army has arrived in the area south of the Zhang River. The activities of Wang Xinting's troops of the 386th Brigade have already caused great headaches for the Japanese army. Now there are 10,000 new troops stationed in the northern part of Lin County. Although this unit has not yet fought with the Japanese army, so many troops are around. The Japanese North China Front Army can be said to be like a thorn on its back. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the Pinghan Railway of the main transportation artery and the safety of the occupied towns and airports, the Japanese army in North China demanded that the Japanese and puppet troops in northern Henan be on the defensive moment. Before the troops cannot be adjusted, all troops should try not to provoke them.

Regarding the Japanese who did not launch a attack, Pan Kewei also brought news from the Eighth Route Army. With the arrival of winter, the activities of the 386th Brigade intensified to supplement supplies. The Japanese and puppet transportation lines, supply and transportation convoys and their large and small strongholds were repeatedly attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the Japanese and puppet were drawing troops to drive the Eighth Route Army out of the northwest Henan region.

After introducing the current situation, Pan Kewei smiled and said, "Brother Li, the Japanese have recently made fires and smoked in seven places. I think they don't care about your small team. You can live this year with peace of mind."

Li Qinglin smiled bitterly and said, "Pan Dahao, I hope that as you said, they will not attack in the near future. But they will not come before the New Year, and will not come after the New Year? Besides, everything has a sequence, either difficult first and easy, or easy first and then difficult. It is precisely because my third team is a small team. If I am their commander, the first thing I have to solve is this small goal, and then solve the big group. If they really take the method of easy first and then difficult, my third team may be the first target to be attacked. In my opinion, the Japanese may be coming soon before the New Year."

Pan Ke thought for a while and said, "It's really reasonable. Brother Li, it seems that we are really careless."

Speaking of this, Pan Kewei took out an open letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Qinglin.
