Since then, Wang Anqian has been sick, frightened, and depressed, trapped in this turret all day long, and unable to get out, which is the same as going to prison. Not long after, he fell ill and died.

After Han Xing dealt with these two traitors, there was another important enemy, and that was Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu's original name was Xu Bingkui, he is 30 years old this year, and his family originally lived in Xuzhuang in the fifth district, close to the east bank of the Maji River, which is really a good place with beautiful scenery. His parents died early, he lived with his stepmother since he was a child, and he was also a student of Wuping's third high school, which is considered a small intellectual.

He and Feng Baoping are a bit of distant relatives, and every year they go to Feng Baoping's home in Luzhuang to spend winter and summer vacations, sleep on a kang in winter, and get into a mosquito net in summer, which can be said to have spent a happy teenage year together.

Later, he married a daughter-in-law and had children, worked as a farmer at home, and lived a well-off life. If there was no War of Resistance Against Japan, he would have spent his life in peace.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Guanwu served as a free soldier in Fan Zhuxian's 29th detachment for several months. After the fall of Northwest Lu, he led the militia of the five districts to cross the Yellow River south, claiming to go to the Central Army.

Before leaving, he arrived in Luzhuang and swore to Feng Baoping: "Brother, don't worry, I will fight to the end." ”

Feng Baoping also held his hand tightly and said, "Fifth brother, you must come back safely!" I'm waiting for you, you take me to fight Japan. ”

On the way south, Xu Guanwu was scattered by the Japanese army, so he returned to his hometown alone, joined the Qinghong Gang, and worshiped 12 brothers, known as the 12 Tigers, and since then has formed a force in society and conquered the world.

Soon, he joined the subordinates of the recalcitrant army Qi Zixiu and was appointed battalion commander.

Qi Zixiu was originally a company commander under the 29th Army of the Kuomintang, in 1937 on the way to the south, with a part of the people fled the army, in the northwest of Lu to attack the city and plunder the land, robbing the house, became a bandit army, and was later incorporated by Fan Zhuxian as the third guerrilla detachment, once participated in the war against Japan.

After the loss of Liaocheng and the sacrifice of Fan Zhuxian, Qi Zixiu openly attached himself to the Kuomintang, and colluded with the Japanese army, stationed on both sides of the canal in the southwest of Wuping County, and actively carried out ** activities.

After Xu Guanwu became the battalion commander, he was stationed by Qi Zixiu at the mouth of the Xujia River, a ferry on the Tuxiao River in the northeast corner of Wuping County.

At this time, there was still a large imperial army in Wuping County, that was Luo Zhaorong. Luo Zhaorong was ostensibly an imperial army, but secretly hooked up with the Kuomintang, so he secretly bought Xu Guanwu's team. Xu Guanwu changed his body and became the team of the Imperial Association Army and became the head of the regiment.

At this time, Feng Baoping had already become a secret party member in Wuping County, so the party sent him and Wang Chunshan, who was also a party member, to join Xu Guanwu's team in the form of apprenticeship and do Xu Guanwu's work.

At this time, Xu Guanwu has not officially joined the Kuomintang, so he is not too resolute. His identity at this time, ostensibly the Imperial Allied Army, secretly connected with the Kuomintang, and he was unwilling to offend the Communist Party, so he easily accepted Feng Baoping and Wang Chunshan.

In the puppet army uprising on the 17th day of the first lunar month in 1940, Xu Guanwu was really two-faced and three-faced, exquisite, and eight-way shining, and more completely showed his three-faced cunning and hypocrisy.

Han Xing discussed with Wang Anyu and Wang Hua first, but he still had to work hard to win Xu Guanwu, as long as he didn't have a final showdown with the Communist Party, he would have to win him over.

There is another important reason for winning over Xu Guanwu, that is, the Xujia estuary occupied by Xu Guanwu is the throat of the secret communication line of Qingping County and Wuping County Party Committee through the Yundong area, and all party documents, letters, newspapers, periodicals, and staff members are transported through this road.

Since Xu Guanwu was stationed here, it has posed a great threat to this secret communication line. So the Xujia estuary must turn red.

Feng Baoping came to report the situation to Han Xing again, and taking this opportunity, Han Xing decided to take a few people, dressed in civilian clothes, to "visit" Xu Guanwu again.

This time, Feng Baoping led the way, and Han Xing, Wang Anyu, and Li Dazhong rode bicycles on the bumpy road to the mouth of the Xujia River.

The bicycles ridden by Han Xing and these people are also quite interesting, except for the bell that does not ring, the rest are ringing, and there is not even a brake, so it is good to be able to go dozens of miles without firing cannons.

A few people marched southeast and entered the sandy area. It was originally an ancient river channel full of yellow sand, and the Yellow River has been diverted several times in history, forming deep traces here.

All that remained of the miscellaneous trees were bare branches, swaying with the cold wind. As far as the eye can see, there are gray colors everywhere, like an old, tarnished ink painting, presenting a desolate winter scene.

The wind suddenly swept all over the world, throwing the yellow sand on the old road of the Yellow River into the sky, like thousands of yellow dragons rolling in the sky. In an instant, the sky was dark, the sand and rocks were flying, the wind was roaring, and the sand and stones were flying wildly all over the sky. Villages, rivers shrank there, not daring to show the slightest of their demeanor. There is no sky, no earth, and the wind and sand dominate everything.

Just as everything was dominated by dinosaurs in the era of dinosaurs, now everything is decided by the wind and sand.

The old road of the Yellow River in front of you is not a wide and long dry ditch, but a yellow and white earthen beam with no source in sight. There are no sections of embankments on the earthen beams, and there are no "river slides" that have been washed away by the water, only the soft and heavy sand that you can feel when you step on it.

The sand particles here are loose and flexible, like sugar scattered everywhere, so natural and friendly. This kind of loess is not only piled up on the old road of the Yellow River, which is like a loess beam, but also spread all over the vast and vast northwestern plain of Shandong. This is the land where the ancient Yellow River has been silted up for many years, and the people of Northwest Shandong have lived here for generations. It has become the foundation of their lives and their foothold.

The loess beams that rise above the plain are the old riverbed raised by the siltation of the ancient Yellow River. From the undulating old riverbed, you can imagine the terrifying remnants of the Yellow River water roaring over the dam. In the season of abundant water, it must be a yellow ocean.

Standing on the old road of the Yellow River, bowing his head close to the loess beam, it seems to hear the cries for help of women and children being chased by the water, as if hearing the impact of the collapse of the house wall, as if hearing the cry of the separation of the mother and the child because of the sale of their children......

After the yellow water, everything here is gone, leaving only the vast plain river that is inaccessible to people. There are no glorious ancient buildings that have gone through the vicissitudes of life, nor can you see the Qin bricks and Han tiles left after the collapse of the ancient buildings, perhaps because the Yellow River has been repeatedly flooded and difficult to preserve.

With the change of dynasties in the vicissitudes of life, everything here has become a historical memory, and new beginnings are repeated here.

After crossing the Yellow River Ancient Road, we entered the relatively rich plains of the three districts.

This area is close to the Maji River, is red earth, and is also a good place to develop agriculture with beautiful scenery. When entering the bridgehead of the Maji River, Feng Baoping met a familiar peasant, who said to Feng Baoping:

"Last night, I heard gunshots dozens of miles to the southeast. This morning, I found a traveling sentry of the Eighth Road near Yanghuaizhuang, and it must have been the Eighth Road. ”

When the farmer said something, there was a look of joy on his face.

Yanghuaizhuang founded the party earlier, there are many party members, and the relationship between the party and the masses is relatively harmonious, and it is the place where the party's underground personnel come and go.

When Feng Baoping heard this, he almost jumped up with joy, and he said excitedly to Han Xing: "The Eighth Road is here, you, the county magistrate, go and connect with the Eighth Road!" ”

Han Xing also said happily: "Yanghuaizhuang is the only place to enter the Xujia River estuary, let's go and contact them." If it's really a big army, we'll cooperate with them! ”

Wang Anyu frowned and said: "If it is really a large army to open up the area of Wuping and Qingping, we should also be informed, why don't we know!" No matter what the unit is, don't reveal your identity if you don't see the real situation. ”

When a few people rode bicycles into the entrance of Yanghuaizhuang Village, two soldiers suddenly came out of the corner of the street and alley, and suddenly said to Han Xing and the four people with their guns: "What are you doing, stop!" ”

Han Xing fixed his eyes and saw that the two soldiers were wearing gray military uniforms, and on their left arms hung a diamond-shaped cloth armband with the words "Eight Roads" printed on them. Feng Baoping couldn't suppress his excitement anymore, turned around and whispered to Han Xing, "Yes", and was about to go up and contact these Eighth Route Army.

Han Xing coughed and gave Feng Baoping a look, and Feng Baoping was silent.

Han Xing said to the two soldiers, "What do you think we are doing?" ”

"Who knows what you're doing," shouted an Eighth Route soldier, "I think you look like the Eighth Route." ”

The two soldiers were still going to come up to search, and Li Dazhong stood forward and stood in front of him with a majestic spirit. At first glance, the two soldiers saw that Li Dazhong was tall, burly, and had a fierce face, not like a person to be messed with, so he didn't dare to make a move. One soldier had no choice but to say, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Han Xing said: "We are all primary school teachers, and we went to Xujiahekou to see Head Xu. ”

When the soldier heard this, his face was full of displeasure, and he yelled at Han Xing and said, "Don't you want to see which part of us we are, and you still said to go and see Commander Xu?" ”

Han Xing said: "To head Xu, to go to head Xu, tell the truth!" ”

"I think you're traitors!" The soldier got angry and roared.

At this time, Wang Anyu turned around and saw a large slogan written in lime on the wall of the village, which read: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Equalize land rights, save capital!" The drum beat in my heart: where is this, and now the party's slogan is "rent reduction and interest reduction", which is simply the donkey's lips not matching the horse's mouth, and the horse's feet are suddenly exposed.

Wang Anyu read these slogans while giving Feng Baoping, Han Xing, and Li Dazhong a look. What these three people are doing, I have long understood it.

Han Xing continued to "provoke" the two interrogating soldiers.
