After another detailed discussion.

Ye Yun, the political commissar of the Independent League, thought about the task assigned to him by the party organization, pondered for a long time, and said: "Commander Yang, I know that you are an anti-Japanese hero who is dedicated to the country and the people, however, although your old man resists Japan, it may not be for the sake of the national people.

Your beliefs and purposes are different.

And our party's beliefs and goals are basically the same as yours.

So, I wonder if you want to join our party? ”

After speaking, Rao couldn't help but be a little nervous with Ye Yun's concentration, held his breath, and looked at Yang Jing with a solemn face.

Yang Jing said: "I understand Political Commissar Ye's thoughts, and I also know that your party is fighting for the poor people wholeheartedly.

This is very admirable.

But now is the critical moment of the joint war of resistance between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it is also the critical moment of life and death for the entire Chinese nation.

There is no room for surprises.

Therefore, please also ask Political Commissar Ye to be cautious, so as not to affect the overall strategic situation!

As for your invitation, I'll consider it when the time is right, but not now.

Regardless, I am grateful for your party's attention. ”

"Hmm!"

Ye Yun nodded and didn't say anything more, because he knew that his invitation was a little abrupt.

I also know that it is indeed a bit inappropriate to say this at this critical moment.

However, his purpose is not to let Yang Jing join the Communist Party now, but to simply make a statement to pave the way for future wooing.

Yang Jing instructed again: "Political Commissar Ye, when the time comes, I will trouble your party's intelligence network and send out the news that I am about to go to Hunan and that the Ninth War Zone is about to send reinforcements." ”

Ye Yun patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Head Yang, I promise to complete the task!" ”

……

The other side.

As soon as the sky was dark, the infantry wings of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, under the leadership of the wing commander, divided the road, crossed the junction line, and entered the territory of Yuexi County from Yingshan to the east.

……

Beizhong Town, located in the west of Yuexi, is only separated by a mountain from Yingshan.

Under the light of the early sun.

An armed force of about 100 people was rushing along the rough dirt road towards the town.

There's also a blonde and blue-eyed Western woman who looks a little out of place.

The person at the head was none other than Ma Tong, the commander of the guard company of the Tiger Ben Regiment who escaped from the Japanese army field hospital in Huangchuan a long time ago.

As early as before the Battle of Jinzhai began, Ma Tong already knew that Yang Jing was going to lead his troops to Yuexi to establish a base next.

After escaping from Huangchuan County, Ma Tong originally planned to abandon Maria and go to Yuexi alone to find a large army to join.

As a result, Maria used the reason of wanting to give Yang Jing an exclusive interview, and followed him like kraft candy, and she couldn't get rid of it.

Plus Maria's arrest is also for this reason.

Ma Tong was worried that Maria would fall into the hands of the Japanese again, so out of helplessness, he could only take this oil bottle with him.

As for why Ma Tong has such an armed force under his command, it has to start from when he escaped from Huangchuan County.

After leaving the county seat of Huangchuan, Ma Tong took Maria all the way to the west of Yue.

When passing through the junction of Huangchuan and the mall, he heard that there was a bandit in the nearby mountain, which plagued the township all the year round.

Relying on his extraordinary physical fitness, military skills and tactics, Ma Tong easily touched the mountain one night, bypassed the mountain bandit sentry, and entered the cottage.

Then he found an opportunity to control the bandit leader Luo Hu and several of his bosses in one fell swoop.

Who knows, after some interrogation, Ma Tong learned that the bandit leaders on this mountain, including other minions, were all from a group of poor people.

In this era of war and chaos, human life is not as good as dogs, they can't eat enough, they can't wear warm clothes, in order to survive, out of helplessness, they can only fall into the grass and widows.

Moreover, the targets of their robberies were basically some landlords and gentry.

This is very different from what Ma Tong had heard before.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, Ma Tong went down the mountain overnight.

After a few days of visits, the truth was finally revealed.

It turned out that he was wrong to blame the bandits on the mountain.

The news of the bandits' rebellion was spread by the local landlords and gentry.

Moreover, although these bandits did not oppress the people, they did not do anything good, and they have been in the grass for a long time, so it is inevitable that they will have a banditry spirit.

Therefore, it is impossible for the local people to have a good impression of them.

So, it caused the misunderstanding at the beginning.

Ma Tong thought that although these bandits did not do anything evil, it was not a matter for them to stay here all the time.

Then there was the idea of going up the mountain again and co-opting them.

The fame of the Tiger Ben Regiment is too great, and almost everyone in the north and south of the river knows about it.

All good men who have a passion for serving the country do not want to join this heroic army.

The bandit leaders and bandit leaders on the mountain learned that Ma Tong was the commander of the guard company of the heroic unit of the Tiger Ben Regiment, and they almost didn't think about it, so they unanimously agreed to the other party's incorporation.

When leaving, Ma Tong led them to loot the local landlords and gentry, and distributed the looted grain and money to the local poor people.

Listening to the words of gratitude of the people, and looking at the eyes of the people who are grateful to Dade, the hearts of these bandits are simply refreshed.

thus strengthened the idea of following Ma Tong and joining the Tiger Ben Regiment.

……

Along the way, Ma Tong led them to constantly kill the rich and help the poor, in order to increase their sense of honor and belonging.

By the way, I will train them in their skills and tactics.

It is precisely because of this that there is a lot of time delayed on the road.

……

Get back to business.

Outside Beizhong Town, Maria surrounded Ma Tong and asked in a somewhat broken Chinese: "Ma, this place has entered the territory of Yuexi, will we be able to meet Yang Jingyang soon?"

Then, I can give this Eastern God of War an exclusive interview?

Oh, yes!

It's amazing! ”

However, Ma Tong ignored her and continued to walk forward on his own.

Marelli hurriedly chased after him, looked at him with a look of resentment and said, "Ou! Ma, you said that you would take me to do an interview with Head Yang, and you can't put on your pants and turn your face and deny people. ”

Ma Tong was embarrassed and embarrassed......

And the bandits next to him called the company commander Niu B in their hearts!

"Brothers, let's go to the town to find something to eat!"

In order to make room for Ma Tong, Luo Huzi shouted at the top of his voice, and everyone hastened towards the town.

Ma Tong was even more speechless.

Maria, on the other hand, was smug.

……

Zhongbei Town has a long history and has been built as early as the Tang Dynasty.

Because it is located at the foot of Dabie Mountain, the geographical location is remote, so it has not been affected by the war for the time being, and it is still a peaceful scene of paradise.

Many people fled here, making the town even more noisy and lively.

Luo Huzi and the others were a little hungry all the way, and when they entered the town, they rushed straight to the nearest bun shops.

When the people in the town saw that they were all carrying guns and looking vicious, they thought that the bandits had entered the town, and they ran into the depths of the town in fright.

There are also some bold bosses who are reluctant to leave, and tremble and stay on their own shops or stalls.

Luo Huzi looked confused, and shouted at the broken gong: "What are you doing here?

We are not bandits! ”

However, no one believed them at all, but faster.

Luo Huzi helplessly looked at Ma Tong, who entered the town backwards, and asked, "Company commander, what should we do now?" ”

Ma Tong said: "You're all hungry, aren't you?" Eat first, make up the money after eating, and then explain it well. ”

"Great!"

All the way over the mountains and mountains, everyone has basically eaten dry food these days, and when they see white-flour steamed buns and meat buns at this time, they can't help but have a shiny eye.

In an instant, more than 10 drawers of steaming white-flour steamed buns and meat buns were snatched up by everyone.

I'm so hungry!

"Smack!"

At this moment, a crisp gunshot suddenly rang out outside the town.
