    After pondering for a while, Lao Jiang looked at Li Guoyao and asked: "Sternly, if you were asked to lead troops behind enemy lines to open a battlefield to fight guerrillas, which place would you choose?"

    Hearing what Lao Jiang said, Li Guoyao had a pensive expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

    The reason why he just talked to Lao Jiang about containing the Eighth Route Army was not because he really wanted to help Lao Jiang deal with the Eighth Route Army, but because he was preparing to return to enemy lines to fight the Japanese.

    Since he came to this era at the end of last year, he has been pushed around for more than a year, like a brick, moved wherever he is needed.

    At the same time, he is also like a firefighter who is sent there when the situation is urgent, so that more and more little devils are annihilated, but his own troops are getting smaller and smaller.

    Thinking about it, when he was in Nanjing, he had more than 40,000 troops, covertly and covertly, but now, his troops actually don¡¯t have much strength.

    More importantly, fighting from central Anhui all the way to eastern Henan and then to the Wuhan battlefield, the troops were like old hens throwing away eggs, constantly leaving behind seriously wounded soldiers, so that now the 61st Army except those in the mountainous areas of central Anhui  In addition to the Jiangnan guerrillas, there were a large number of wounded left in Zhengzhou and Huanghuazhai.

    As a military chief, this is something Li Guoyao absolutely does not want to see, so he now needs a base where he can not only fight the Japanese but also take care of the wounded in the army nearby.

    What's more, Li Guoyao knew that Chiang Kai-shek had always been prejudiced against him, and he also knew that the ship of the Nationalist Government was rotten from the bottom. Even if it was swaying and barely moving, it would still inevitably sink into the sea more than ten years later. He  I don¡¯t want to be buried in the belly of the fish with Chiang Kai-shek.

    Of course, Li Guoyao can't forget the true identity of his little wife. Once exposed, it will be a really fatal matter, and he must prepare for a rainy day.

    But Li Guoyao knew that Chiang Kai-shek might not let him go for other reasons, but once he got involved with the Red Party and the Eighth Route Army, it would definitely happen.

    "Commissioner, if I had to choose, I would choose Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong, Wanzhong is also okay!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Why are these places? You must know that these places have been occupied by the Japanese army for a relatively long time. For example, in Shanxi, the Japanese army captured northern Shanxi in September last year and all counties north of Taiyuan in December. It took such a long time for the little devil to  The territory has been digested a long time ago, and there seems to be a lot of pressure on where to develop!" Lao Jiang said.

    However, Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "On the surface, it is indeed like this. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Japanese army has established puppet regimes in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other places. They recruit a large number of puppet troops and cooperate with the Japanese army to maintain local areas."  Public security, acting as pawns and lackeys for the little devils.¡±

    "However, due to the Japanese army using a large number of these puppet troops, and the Japanese army launching the Xuzhou Battle and the Wuhan Battle one after another, most of the main forces were transferred to central China, so that the main defensive force behind the enemy was handed over to the puppet troops with low combat effectiveness. As long as  With proper planning, we can easily open up situations in these places.¡±

    ¡°Then what if the Japanese army returns to support these places?¡±

    "Don't be afraid. When the main force of the Japanese army comes, we will retreat to the mountains. The little devils in the mountainous areas may not be much stronger than us! Besides, once the Japanese army dispatches troops from the front line to support the rear, isn't this what we would like to see!"  Li Guoyao said.

    "That's true!"

    Then Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said: "Seriously, in fact, the Military Commission has already had the idea of ??organizing armed forces behind enemy lines to contain the Japanese army, and is preparing to establish an independent theater in Shandong, Jiangsu and northern Anhui. This time your department has established  I intend to let you go there to take charge of the overall situation, what do you think?"

    Li Guoyao was immediately taken aback. Of course he knew that the Nationalist Government intended to form the Sulu Theater and had already started to do so.  If nothing goes wrong, Northeastern Army veteran Xuezhong will become the commander-in-chief of the theater, while Shandong Provincial Chairman Shen Honglie and Jiangsu Provincial Chairman Han Deqin will be appointed deputy commanders-in-chief.

    However, hearing that Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to be the commander-in-chief caught him off guard.

    Then Li Guoyao asked tentatively: "Is it the commander-in-chief of the theater?"

    "No, you are too young to command those arrogant and powerful generals. I plan to let Yu Xuezhong be the commander-in-chief of the theater, but it is just an idea now. Yu Xuezhong will definitely not be able to go to Shandong for the time being, so what I mean is  I want you to lead the troops to Shandong first and serve as the front line for the troops as the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas. What do you think?"

    "Guerrilla Commander-in-Chief?"

    Li Guoyao couldn't help but frowned. If he remembered correctly, the guerrilla commander-in-chief should be Shen Hong.Strong and concurrent.

    "Commissioner, may I ask what level this guerrilla commander-in-chief belongs to and what his responsibilities are?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "The level is naturally higher than that of your current lieutenant general. It is the same level as the deputy commander of the theater. Its main responsibility is to explore the path for the party and the country and serve as a pioneer for the formation of a new theater in the Sulu area!"

    "I wonder how many troops the committee is going to let me take to Shandong?"

    "This is a thousand-mile attack, so naturally the fewer troops the better. It is best not to even use the 61st Army designation. Once the Japanese army knows that you are in Shandong, they will definitely encircle and suppress you crazily."

    "What do you mean?"

    "You only take your headquarters to Shandong. Ten thousand people are neither more nor less. After weeding out the old and weak, you can lead three to four regiments. That's enough!" Old Jiang said.

    "What about the serial number of the 61st Army?"

    "The Military Commission will take back the designation of the 61st Army, but after arriving in Shandong, you can choose either the 57th Army or the 51st Army, or a separate army will be established for you after the Sulu Theater is established. Don't worry, the Military Commission will not treat those who have meritoriously.  It belongs to my ministers!" Old Jiang said.

    Li Guoyao naturally sneered at this and took back his serial number. He also said that he would not treat his meritorious ministers unfairly. He was simply a Japanese dog.

    Although Old Jiang said on the surface that Shandong would give him a corps-level combat unit, think about the two armies that Old Jiang just mentioned, whether it is the 51st Army or the 57th Army, they are all veterans of the Northeast Army.  force.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it nonsense to ask him to go back and compete with the old men of the Northeast Army for positions?

    Of course, Chiang Kai-shek had his own intention in doing this, and he just didn¡¯t want the Northeastern Army to get ahead.

    During this period, the 61st Army was so dazzling that the units of the Northeast Army were also very proud. As soon as the 61st Army won the battle, all units immediately sent congratulatory messages. Obviously, this has attracted the attention of Lao Chiang Kai-shek.

    "But Li Guoyao didn't care about this. It was just a number. It didn't matter if he gave it or not. Anyway, he never expanded his troops according to the quota of the number.

    No number is better. No number means no limit. You can expand as much as you want.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately said: "Since it is the decision of the Military Commission, I will naturally support it. After I return, I will inform the subordinate troops about this matter!"

    "Well, you performed well in this battle. I have ordered the Ministry of Military Affairs to reward all meritorious personnel. Those who deserve promotion will be promoted, and those who deserve promotion will be promoted to military rank!" Old Jiang said in a deep voice.

    "yes!"

    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, go back and prepare, the relevant orders will come out soon!¡±

    "yes!"
