After returning to the Lianhua Mountain base area, Feng Zhansong's six-column frame was basically completed, and the only two points lacking were the lack of some excellent commanders, and the spirit of the troops could not reach the level of Lin Junxiong's elite troops.

Zeng Lingshan selected the elite of 100 people to carry out a drill, looking at the iron-blooded momentum of 100 people, the rapid maneuver and coordination of the three-three system training, the display of fighting skills, the proficiency of firearms and the accuracy of shooting, many of the soldiers brought by Wang Lianfang and Wang Degui had golden light in their eyes, and some random and gangster-like soldiers involuntarily stood up straight and put on a posture of regular soldiers.

Feng Zhansong watched the changes in the team, and Lin Junxiong gave a thumbs up happily. After the exercise was completed, Lin Junxiong asked Zeng Lingshan to select 20 people to serve as officers in Feng Zhansong's Sixth Column, and because many people in Zeng Lingshan's guard were eager to join the Sixth Column and go to the battlefield to show their talents, they finally had to select 30 people to join the Sixth Column as officers.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Sixth Column were training in full swing under the leadership of the new commander, Feng Zhansong had to negotiate with Lin Junxiong to postpone the original time for the Sixth Column to go to the base area.

On June 26, 1940, Lin Junxiong saw that the preparations for the Sixth Column were basically ready, so he convened a meeting of relevant personnel.

Through the efforts of Zeng Songyi's father and son, all villages and group tribes in Panshi County have relocated the pro-Japanese and unstable people to one village and strengthened their control. Today, the anti-Japanese ideology of the people of Panshi County is unified, which has become a strong backing for the revolutionary army to resist Japan, and the cordon of the Lianhuashan base area has also been expanded to the surrounding areas of Panshi County.

After knowing that his family was rescued by Lin Junxiong and sent to Yan'an, Chunmu Dongzi had no worries in his heart, and decided to further eliminate the war radicals in the garrisons of Panshi County and Huinan County who were deeply influenced by militarism, so that the revolutionary army could carry out the corresponding work to the maximum extent, but he was still very resistant to joining the ranks of the Japanese with his troops.

Lin Junxiong finally issued a plan of action for each base area in the near future, and made every effort to promote the development of the column, but it was necessary to screen those who joined the revolutionary army, and it was necessary to follow the line of elite soldiers rather than to act indiscriminately, so as to further consolidate the development of each base area, and at the same time strengthen the monitoring of the Japanese puppet garrison.

In order to cope with the eastward advance of the fourth column and the return of the sixth column, Lin Junxiong ordered the third column to attack Antu County, the second column to attack Fusong County, the first column to attack Mengjiang County, and the fifth column to attack Qingyuan County. The Fourth Column Assault Team attacked Jilin City, the large army entered the Songnen Plain from Jiaohe County, and the Sixth Column entered Changshan Town in a straight line from Panshi County.

Yoshioka Tatsuno, the new commander of the puppet Tonghua garrison, lowered his eyebrows and raised his forehead and was depressed, although he knew at the Kwantung Army Headquarters that this Lin Junxiong was a difficult opponent, and he was facing a situation of crisis in four places before he could complete the deployment.

Fusong County, Mengjiang County, Linjiang County, Xinbin County, Qingyuan County, and Huinan County were all attacked by the revolutionary army, and the troops promised to be transferred by the Kwantung Army Headquarters for reinforcements had not yet arrived, so he had to endure and order the garrisons everywhere to hold on with all their might, and not allow rash attacks.

Yoshioka Tatsuno slammed the table and said hatefully: "Lin Junxiong, let you be arrogant for another two months, and when the autumn offensive is launched, I will wipe out you and your revolutionary army!" ”

Compared with Yoshioka Tatsuno's calmness, after Tojo Iwa got the news that Xifeng County and Jilin City were attacked, he was furious and reprimanded a group of officers fiercely, before ordering his subordinate Gongqi Division to lead five puppet regiments to attack with all their might, and must find and destroy the attacking revolutionary army.

Ten days later, the puppet Tonghua Province and the puppet Jilin Province returned to calm, the revolutionary army disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared, a puppet regiment commander in Jilin City disappeared with two-thirds of the whole regiment, Tojo Iwa was furious and even shot a puppet regiment commander who was a little slack in the action, and immediately ordered to start perfecting the autumn crusade plan jointly launched with the puppet Tonghua Province and the puppet island province.

In the secret camp of Montenegro in the southwest of Changshan Town, Lin Junxiong, Feng Zhansong, and Wei Xin laughed and talked about the recent situation of the Fourth and Sixth Columns.

"In ancient times, we talked about Changshan Zhao Zilong, and now we talk about Changshan Feng Zhansong. Jilin is really Brother Feng's territory, in just over ten days, the Sixth Vertical has grown to more than 1,000 people, which is worth our efforts for several months, I think Brother Feng will definitely be more famous in the future! Wei Xin said with a smile.

Feng Zhansong hurriedly said: "Brother Wei has an overreputation, Feng just got a few subordinates in the past, the main credit is that the foundation that my brother has laid in this area for more than half a year, I really don't dare to mention any reputation, let alone compare with the Five Tiger General Zhao Zilong." ”

Lin Junxiong just arrived in Changshan Town yesterday, and saw that the Sixth Column had been deployed and all the work had been carried out one after another, and he couldn't help but admire Feng Zhansong in his heart, and saw that the two seemed to be complimenting like this, and said with a smile: "The two of them will be famous in the three northeastern provinces in a short time, but the situation we are facing is about to become more severe, after this incident, I think the Kwantung Army Command Headquarters will definitely increase the garrison in our area of activity, according to the Japanese practice, there will be less than two months before the autumn crusade will begin, We also need to be vigilant and prepare in advance. ”

When the two of them heard Lin Junxiong's words, their expressions became serious, and Feng Zhansong said: "Yes, now that the Japanese puppet army has nearly one million troops in the northeast, we are still very weak, we must develop and grow, we must strengthen training, and we must deal with the search and pursuit of the Japanese puppet army, if you don't keep calm, you may fall into a desperate situation at any time." ”

Wei Xin also nodded: "Tojo Iwa is cunning and murderous by nature, the revolutionary army was small before, and it did not attract their attention, plus the resistance to the United Nations involved all their energy, and now the resistance to the United Nations has suffered heavy casualties, and then our revolutionary army will become the main force to contain the Japanese army in the northeast." ”

Lin Junxiong's original intention was to beat them when they were proud, to avoid being too impetuous and unable to make a timely and correct decision in a critical situation, but he didn't expect it to make the two of them sentimental, he stood up and smiled and said: "Thinking about the hardships that our party has experienced, it was surrounded and suppressed by hundreds of thousands of troops sent by Lao Jiang at every turn, and now it has not developed and grown in the same way, and has become the main force involving the Japanese army everywhere, as long as we maintain a tenacious heart and convey this tenacity to the soldiers, no matter how powerful the Japanese puppet is, what is there to fear!" ”

"General Yang Jingyu took one or two hundred people to go through several months and several places in the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, and if it wasn't for the traitor's betrayal, the Japanese puppet army would not have been able to catch him at all. He dared to fight with more than 600 Japanese puppet troops with 7 people, and he could successfully escape from the encirclement, and we now have at least 1,000 people in a column, so why don't we dare to fight against the Japanese puppet army? ”

Feng Zhansong was aroused by Lin Junxiong's words. Standing up excitedly, "The commander said well, why don't we dare, I wonder which time Feng experienced at the beginning was not nine deaths, but now I don't live well, Commander rest assured, I will never ask the revolutionary army to retreat!" ”

Wei Xin also said firmly: "Although the difficulties faced by the Fourth Column are relatively great, we are also confident that we can evade the encirclement and interception of the Japanese, and take the opportunity to grow stronger and become a sharp knife inserted into the periphery of Harbin." ”

Lin Junxiong said with a smile: "Both of you are excellent commanders, I believe in your ability. The most important thing for us at the moment is to develop and grow, and then wait for the right opportunity to start a decisive battle with the Japanese puppet army in the northeast. Lao Feng, Lao Wei, your next task is very arduous, first of all, we must reserve enough materials to deal with the encirclement and suppression, the Japanese have many encirclement and suppression experience, and we cannot suffer in this regard; The second is to do a good job in the ideological work of the troops, at present the party has no way to arrange a political commissar for us, so you have to take care of the work of the political commissar at the same time, the fiasco of the Anti-Japanese Federation is the defeat of your own people, you must attach great importance to this; The last thing you should pay attention to is to disperse the troops as soon as possible and familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain, so that they can use the favorable terrain to block or evacuate when the time comes. ”

Feng Zhansong and Wei Xin nodded and remembered Lin Junxiong's arrangement, when a person wearing the clothes of a puppet army officer walked in, and Lin Junxiong was stunned.

"What's the matter, the former Battalion Commander Lin, and now Commander Lin, don't you remember me, an old man?"

Lin Junxiong came back to his senses and said, "How can you not remember, the former head Zhang was my superior." ”

"Yes, Commander Lin is a great talent, and I, Zhang Rubi, am just a reckless man with empty blood, now Commander Lin is radiant, and he won't dislike Zhang, right?" Zhang Rubi said with a smile.

Lin Junxiong held his hand and said: "How can it be, in the past, Junxiong received a lot of care from Commander Zhang, and now he can fight side by side, which is really a great blessing in life!" It's just that how could Regiment Leader Zhang?"

Zhang Rubi sighed: "The situation within the Kuomintang army should be better than me, I originally wanted to make some achievements, but in the army was always excluded, disheartened and returned to his hometown Jilin, and later was invited by an acquaintance within the puppet Manchurian government to be the head of a puppet army. ”

Feng Zhansong stepped forward and said with a smile: "The commander may not know, Ru Bi was one of my lieutenants in his early years, we are like brothers, and I can guarantee his character with my life. ”

Lin Junxiong said with a smile: "There is no doubt in employing people, no suspicion in people, the affairs of the six verticals are all up to Brother Feng, and I have never doubted the character of Head Zhang, Brother Feng doesn't have to worry about what I have in mind." And my usual style is to give orders and explain what you want to achieve, and you can decide what to do. ”

"It's better to be famous than to meet, Commander Lin's changes over the years have made Zhang happy, the Northeast is about to change!" Zhang Rubi said with a laugh.
