Chapter 323: Han Fuqu's Secret Telegram

Yu Hua looked at Deng Xihou: "This meeting!"

"Han Fuqu is likely in grave danger!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shaozeng spoke up: "Could it be!"

"Is the Nanjing Command planning to take action against Han Fuqu at this supreme military conference?"

Pan Wenhua nodded: "Indeed!"

"The northern section of the Jinpu Line is the defensive zone of the Third Group Army."

"Old Han has now retreated a thousand miles, leaving the gateway to Xuzhou wide open."

Old Han brought along a Special Service Battalion, plus Cao Fulin and Sun Tongxuan.

Seeing that Li Delin also wanted him to go himself, Old Han felt uneasy in his heart.

"You were once the top military and political official of Shandong Province!"

"I am afraid that once I arrive in Bianliang, Principal Chang will vent his anger on me."

In a small county town on the border of Henan Province and Shandong Province.

In Hankou!

Dai Chunfeng received a telegram from Song Zheyuan; after taking one look at it, he suddenly realized.

"Ah... it is Deputy Commander Han; you want to find Li Delin, please wait a moment!"

Old Han had already learned that the First War Zone and the Fifth War Zone would hold a military conference in Bianliang.

"Otherwise, my Sichuan Army Second Route Army will adopt the method of executing one to warn a hundred, to serve as a warning to others!"

Han Fuqu personally cranked the telephone!

"Hello, hello, hello..."

"I am afraid that will only make Principal Chang even angrier."

Then, he sent a secret telegram to Song Zheyuan.

"I am the Deputy Commander of the Fifth War Zone... Han Fuqu, connect me to the Fifth War Zone Command."

Sun Tongxuan also nodded: "Yes... Commander-in-Chief!"

"Old Li, my troops failed to hold Shandong Province, and Principal Chang is currently full of anger toward me."

Although Zhang Zizhong escaped with the help of the United States friend Ferguson, unfortunately, the people of the whole country endlessly cursed him as a Traitor and a national betrayer!

Seeing Han Fuqu wavering, Li Delin said softly: "Old Han, you can rest assured about this point."

"I will go call Li Delin for you."

"Because, in the battle for Shandong Province, the troops under my command suffered rather heavy casualties."

He should still attend this supreme military conference in Bianliang.

He immediately reported to Principal Chang.

"In this way, even if Principal Chang is angry, it will dissipate a lot."

Zhang Zizhong originally wanted to escape from the Japanese Army and secretly contacted Han Fuqu, requesting his help.

Furthermore, being able to bring a guard unit along made it even less of a problem.

"I feel that this meeting is specifically aimed at you."

"As long as you personally admit your mistake before Principal Chang, maintain a proper attitude, and express that you will fight well in the coming battles."

The Third Group Army!

Sun Tongxuan, Cao Fulin, and Yu Xuezhong—these three men were all Han Fuqu's direct subordinates.

"I think it would be better if you did not attend this meeting!"

"Commander-in-Chief!" Cao Fulin looked at Han Fuqu: "If this meeting must be attended."

That would really be somewhat far-fetched!

Old Han could not make up his own mind, so he gathered the generals around him to hold a small meeting.

"I am calling to ask, is it better for me to go to this supreme military conference in Bianliang?"

"Therefore, I hope the Sichuan Army will fulfill its duty to defend the territory in every war zone; no retreat is allowed without orders."

Now that he had fled hundreds of kilometers, the Third Group Army had no more battles to fight, and he wanted to find an excuse.

Song Zheyuan led his troops and was currently within the borders of Henan Province.

"Then you must think of a foolproof plan to escape at any time."

However!

Before leaving, Old Han specifically sent secret telegrams to Pan Wenhua, Liu Wenhui, and Deng Xihou of the Sichuan Army Second Route Army.

Moreover!

Fan Shaozeng, Wang Zanxu, Wang Lingji, Yang Sen, and others all spoke in unison.

Seeing Han Fuqu lost in thought, Li Delin felt he had to push a little harder: "Old Han!"

In order to preserve himself, Old Han hoped to obtain help from these two parties.

The person who answered the phone was the Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone... Xu Zuyi.

He opened it to take a look and was immediately stunned; at a time like this, Han Fuqu was actually still pulling such stunts.

This kid Han Fuqu had simply too much nerve, playing such a trick now.

Soon, the call went through!

Back when Zhang Zizhong, a major general under Song Zheyuan, was forced to remain in Beiping to maneuver with the Japanese Army.

To have a helper for himself at the Bianliang military conference!

Han Fuqu received a call from Hankou.

Old Han pondered for a moment; he prepared to call Li Delin of the Fifth War Zone to sound him out.

"You shouldn't worry too much either."

"If such a commander is not disciplined, it will have a great impact on the subsequent War of Resistance."

Just as Li Delin said, as long as he went and his attitude in admitting his mistakes was upright, there would be no major problems.

When the Sichuan Army received the telegram from the Nanjing Command.

"Is it better not to go?"

And he even issued a circular telegram to the whole country, cursing Zhang Zizhong as a Traitor.

After Han Fuqu finished his phone call with Li Delin, he pondered it carefully.

The person making the call was none other than the Director of the Attendant Office, Qian Dajun.

"I cannot decline this meeting now; what do you all think?"

This was a secret telegram for the Sichuan Army!

"It has disrupted my deployment!"

He expressed that the Sichuan Army leaving Sichuan would absolutely not bring shame to the Sichuan Army, and they would certainly fulfill their duty to defend the land and resist the war.

"For this meeting, you can bring your guard unit, and besides, you are familiar with the place, Bianliang."

"What do you think?"

Now that Han Fuqu was actually pulling such petty tricks, it made Song Zheyuan think of Zhang Zizhong's encounter, and he denounced Han Fuqu even more severely.

Seeing that the two tiger generals by his side both said this, Han Fuqu asked Cao Fulin: "What about you?"

At the thought of Han Fuqu's actions, Song Zheyuan immediately reported it to the Nanjing Command in Hankou.

The outcry of the public caused the Nanjing Command to dismiss Zhang Zizhong from his post for investigation.

"Regardless of north or south, regardless of old or young, as long as one is on our national soil, as a soldier, one has the duty to protect the borders and bring peace to the people."

"You already declined the last Fifth War Zone supreme military conference once; if you decline again this time..."

"The Nanjing Command is going to hold a supreme military conference for the First War Zone and the Fifth War Zone in Bianliang."

Last time, it was Han Fuqu who was leading his army in flight; how could that have been intense combat?

"If you have anything to say, say it now; I am about to set off for Bianliang to attend the supreme military conference."

Xu Zuyi called over Li Delin, "Old Han, it's me, Li Delin."

After all, Song Zheyuan and Han Fuqu both belonged to the Northwest Army back in the day.

Han Fuqu saw that Li Delin was about to set off for Bianliang.

Fearing he wouldn't be able to reach him later, he hurriedly asked: "Old Li."

"Hello... this is Xu Zuyi!"

Qian Dajun had already emphasized to Han Fuqu that there were no combat missions, and commanders at or above the Group Army level, as well as Division and Brigade level commanders within the two war zones, must attend.

The Fifth War Zone had previously held a military conference, and Han Fuqu had declined once and did not attend, saying the fighting was too intense and he had no time.

He, Han Fuqu, was a soldier who hated Traitors most in his life; if they wanted his help, there was no chance.

Seeing everyone lost in thought, Deng Xihou said softly: "War of Resistance!"

In Pingyang County, Henan Province, Song Zheyuan received the secret telegram.

Upon hearing this, Li Delin said softly: "Since that is the case, Old Han, let us simply hold a meeting and discuss it carefully."

The Commander-in-Chief of the Third Group Army, Han Fuqu, was leading a division of troops to rest here.

Zhang Zizhong believed that Han Fuqu would lend a helping hand, but who would have thought that Han Fuqu would ignore him.

At the same time!

"Do not get detained in Bianliang."

"Fulin, what are your thoughts?"

The three of them heard this!

Yu Xuezhong spoke first: "Commander-in-Chief!"

Dai Chunfeng now dared to be certain that this time, if Han Fuqu went to Bianliang, he would undoubtedly die.

No one could save him!

Right now, uniting against the outside is the only way!
