Comrades, the situation in the decisive column is very grim at present, and there are persecution from the reactionary forces of the Japanese army and the Nationalist army from outside, and there are those unreliable officers from within.

The main reason for calling you up for this meeting is to tell you to be prepared and not to fight unprepared battles.

For those unreliable old officers, it is necessary to clean them up in a timely manner, and we should not lose our minds because it affects the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the long-term pain is better than the short-term pain.

Lao Jiang has a saying that actually makes sense, and if you go outside, you must first settle inside. If there is a conflict between the Death Column and the Jin Sui Army and others, there will be traitors within it, and it will be very fatal to our team. ”

"I think the chief is right. I've long wanted to clean up that guy surnamed Sun, that's called an officer? is just a scum, deducting military salaries, surrendering mentality, and letting such a person exist is irresponsible to the troops.

This is going to start a war, with such a superior, how can the soldiers below win the battle? ”

As soon as the chief's voice fell, Lehi couldn't wait to stand up and agree.

In the eyes of others, he was a little suspicious of sycophancy, but it was not a day or two that Li Hai wanted to clean up Sun Ruikun, and he was very greedy for the artillery company and the weapons and ammunition of those hundreds of people.

It's just that he couldn't find a chance to do it before, and there was no good excuse, but now that the headquarters has agreed, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

"Is Comrade Lehi too radical? Although the chief said that he would make up his mind to get rid of those old officers, he also had to do it slowly, and he must not be in a hurry, otherwise it would be easy to cause turmoil. ”

As soon as Lehi's words fell, someone came out to refute him.

"Now that the situation is serious, where is the extra time for us to go slowly? If those people do it to us tomorrow, will we still be trying to do it? Lehi retorted-for-tat.

The intention of holding this meeting was good, but both Li Hai and the chief found a problem, and the three columns were too optimistic about the situation.

So after the meeting, Lehi couldn't help but express his worries to the chief, "Chief, you have also seen this situation.

I'm really worried that they're ignoring the chief.

It stands to reason that I ate half and half of the cavalry battalion of the 40th Army, and ambushed one of his regiments, and normal people will not give up.

But the 40th Army actually held back, which can only show that the national army is ready to move, and our side has not yet prepared. ”

The chief nodded, "I can also see it, I didn't expect the situation faced by the Decisive Column to be so severe, and I also overestimated the situation within the Decisive Column, and was overly optimistic."

Why do you think you have this idea within your three columns? ”

"The main reason is that our political workers don't know how to fight. Because they don't know how to fight, they rely too much on the old officers, believing that these old officers understand military technology and can fight.

And our people are still a little emotional, thinking that these old officers are promoted by us and will not oppose us.

But in my opinion, most of these old officers are unreliable, and except for the Eighth Regiment, the other regiments have not cleaned up those unreliable old officers. Our political workers are only responsible for political work, but they cannot command the troops. Lehi explained.

"What's going on with your eight regiments?" The chief asked in a deep voice.

"Looking back, when I came to the Eighth Regiment, the situation was not very good. Fortunately, the political workers of our regiment have not done nothing, and the Eighth Regiment is currently in a split situation.

I took the 2nd Battalion and the 2nd Battalion and the 2 newly formed independent battalions and other units directly under the regiment on one side, while the regiment commander Sun Ruikun took the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the artillery company on the other side, which was only a few kilometers apart.

But I did not withdraw the political workers of these units, but I tried to win over as many officers and soldiers as possible who were inclined to our party. Lehi explained.

"You have three battalions on your hands?" The chief looked at Lehi in surprise, "How many are there?" ”

Lehi smiled and said, "Looking back, there are about 1,200 people in total. ”

"I said how dare you kid fight the idea of the cavalry battalion of the 40th Army, and dare to attack an infantry regiment of others, I feel that you have become a big family.

What about the troops in Sun Ruikun's hands that you are talking about? The chief asked.

"There are only five or six hundred people, and some of them are our people, and when the time is right, when the time comes, we will definitely be able to clean up these diehards." Lehi said.

"Hearing you say that, you should be ready."

The chief nodded, and then he saw Zhao Yaqian standing in the distance for a long time, obviously waiting for the end of the conversation between the two.

Thinking of this, the chief couldn't help but smile and said, "You two young people talk, I'll go to the person in charge of the column headquarters to talk, this matter still has to be taken seriously." ”

As soon as the chief left, Li Hai beckoned to Zhao Yaqian, and the other party trotted over.

Looking at Zhao Yaqian, who was flushed, Li Hai was happy in his heart, and said with a smile, "Do you want to go?" ”

"Okay!"

Zhao Yaqian hurriedly agreed.

So the two of them walked around the column headquarters and talked about their hearts.

The column headquarters is in Qinshui County, because at this time, the three columns of the decisive death belong to the Jin Sui Army, no matter how it is said, it is also a part of the Jin Sui Army, and it is definitely impossible for ordinary regiments to be stationed in the county seat, but the column headquarters of the decisive column can.

"When did you go to headquarters? I haven't heard of it! Lehi was a little curious.

"Just after you were transferred, the headquarters needed someone who could understand Japanese and English, so I was transferred." Zhao Yaqian held a pair of small hands behind her back and whispered.

"No wonder, you're not going to take my place, are you?" Lehi laughed.

"Some, but not all." Zhao Yaqian explained, "Many of our classmates have been transferred to the front line, and many of them have gone to the headquarters. ”

Zhao Yaqian, as Li Hai had expected, went to the fourth phase of Kang University, and after graduation, she worked in Yan'an for a period of time before being transferred to the headquarters.

"Then you are now following the chief to Yan'an? Still is? Lehi asked.

"Do you want me to go to Yan'an?" Zhao Yaqian asked, staring at Li Hai's eyes.

"Then it depends on the chief's arrangement, I can't be the master!"

"Hmph, coward." Zhao Yaqian complained, "I didn't go to Yan'an, the headquarters was transferred to your column, responsible for translation and some women's work." ”

"Really?"

Hearing that Zhao Yaqian would stay in the third column, Li Hai was a little surprised, but more worried.

You must know that in the near future, the column headquarters of the third column will definitely be the key target, and Zhao Yaqian will definitely be very dangerous here.

"What? You are not welcome? Otherwise, I'll ask the chief to apply for a transfer back to the headquarters! Zhao Yaqian was a little unhappy.

"Why are you not welcome, just worried about your safety!"

Lehi hurriedly expressed his worries, he thought that the other party didn't care, but the other party nodded and promised to pay attention.

Obviously, Zhao Yaqian still believes in Li Hai.
