Chapter 2: Countercurrent (Part 2)

"Look at the ** people around you. You'll know what's going on." I'm afraid this is Zhang Songling's life. I've heard it most directly. At the same time, it is the most profound truth. He doesn't come into contact with many ** people. Lv Feng. Big Zhou. Red beard. If you include the guerrilla Captain Wu who was in Niangzi Pass back then. I can make a deep impression on my mind. There are only a dozen or so. He also didn't come into contact with many Kuomintang members. Commander Lao Gou, Xiao Shi, and Battalion Commander Li. Plus Huang Qiaosong, Feng Anbang. I can make a deep impression on my mind. There are only a dozen or so. These people are different in their beliefs. Despite all the shortcomings of the body. But there is no doubt that they are all well-known good men. These people all contain the most traditional in the bones of the descendants of Yan and Huang. The toughest quality. The more in times of crisis. The more dazzling the light.

Time. More than a dozen majestic figures. Alternately flashed before his eyes. It made his mind feel more and more chaotic. Regardless of personal beliefs. It was difficult for him to tell who was higher and who was lower among the dozen or so. The silence and courage of Da Zhou. It's like a small stone back then. Deputy Captain Lu's stinginess and Wen Tun. is tantamount to the Liao Company Commander back then. As for Redbeard and Captain Gou. It's even more evenly divided. It's all the same tolerance and generosity. Just as generous and heroic. The same resourcefulness. Dare to fight. If only the two of them could work together in the same trench. Zhang Songling believes that Redbeard and Lao Gou will definitely sympathize with each other. Will not even hesitate to form brothers of the opposite sex. It's a pity. Captain Gou is gone. It's so decisive. Such grievances.

"Brother Gou. You've wronged Huang." The next moment. Zhang Songling's eyes flashed in front of him, and the face of Maitreya Buddha of Deputy Commander Huang of the Second War Zone flashed again." In fact. Huang is just a herald. You just brought the lawsuit to President Jiang. Huang also has nothing to do with the annihilation of your secret service group. It doesn't matter at all!"

"Bang." The door was pushed open from the outside. The evening breeze swept in suddenly. Shatter the whole world in your memories. Zhang Songling turned his head angrily. I saw Xiao Wu, the head of the telecommunications team sent down from the military division, holding a telegram. Hurriedly rushed in.

"Ahh I didn't expect there to be someone in Redbeard's room at such a late hour. Xiao Wu, the head of the telecommunications team, was stunned. Hurry up and stop. Salute Redbeard again." Report to the King Team. A telegram was sent from the Chabei Military Division. I just finished translating. I'm afraid I'll delay you. That's why I'm sending it to you."

"Read." Redbeard glanced at Xiao Wu dissatisfied. Silent commands.

"Yes." Xiao Wu, the head of the telecommunications team, agreed. But it has not been carried out for a long time. As the backbone of the military division to the local troops. In addition to newspaper work. He is also responsible for a part of the security department. And Redbeard when receiving telegrams from his superiors. does not shy away from Zhang Songling, a non-party member. Undoubtedly, there is a serious violation of the principle of confidentiality. I can't help but I can't help but think of a way to remind one or two.

"If nothing else. I'll go back first." Zhang Songling smiled understandingly. Pick up the ** Manifesto. Take the initiative to say goodbye to Redbeard.

"Don't go. I'm missing a staff officer right now. You read a lot. I'll do it for now." Redbeard grabbed him. Laughing commands. Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Wu, the head of the telecommunications team. Added loudly." Later telegrams of military divisions. Cadres above the squadron leader. are all readable. If I'm not at the team site. Just show them first. So as not to react in time. delayed the tasks assigned by the superiors."

"Hmm... Yes." Xiao Wu, the head of the communications team, knew that Captain Wang was reminding himself. Hesitated for a moment. Say yes in a whisper. These things in the Lamagou guerrillas are contrary to the principles of the organization. He must report to the higher authorities. But today there is no need to let Captain Wang not get off the stage. Anyway, this telegram in my hand is just a report on the recent situation of the enemy. Even if it leaks out. It also did no real harm to the guerrillas.

Come to think of it. Xiao Wu, the leader of the communications team, cleared his throat. Read it aloud: "Due to the continuous development of the ranks of our army behind enemy lines in the second half of the year 38. The Japanese had to temporarily slow down their southward advance. Recently. Japanese troops in North China, Jinsui and Chahar. have successively received the task of "rectification". Put the offense on the focus of the target. Aimed at the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese base areas. So. The military division solemnly reminds. All local troops must be vigilant. Strictly guard against Japanese invaders and puppet armies with advanced means of transportation. Lightning sneak attack on our troops. All kinds of intelligence work. Be sure to put it into practice. Expatriate investigators. ....... too"

The message is not long. It is mainly aimed at the latest movements of the Japanese and puppet army. Make preventive tactical guidance. But the one who wrote the message . Undoubtedly an expert. Several preventive measures are proposed. For example, in the city where the Japanese invaders are entrenched, there are more eyeliners. Dig traps on traffic arteries to stop cars from moving forward. bribing those with a clear conscience in the puppet army to provide information to the guerrillas, etc. The feasibility is very high. Even the local troops who received the telegram could be allowed to do so. No need to spend too much energy. You can catch the medicine according to the prescription.

"Hmm. Go down and rest first. Captain Zhang stayed. Let's discuss how to carry out the next step according to the instructions of the superiors." Redbeard is not a person who likes to take medicine according to prescriptions. After listening to the telegram. Laughing at the command of the head of his own communications group.

"Hmm... Yes." Xiao Wu, the head of the communications team, hesitated again. The answer was already full of anger that he didn't want to hide. He was sent to the Chabei Military Division by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. It has once again enriched the backbone talents from the Chabei Military Division to the local area. Although I haven't personally participated in front-line battles. But at least the military district headquarters received systematic training in guerrilla warfare. And he was already a member of the ** during his school studies. But the guerrilla king captain . But he only uses himself as an ordinary telecom technician. Opposite. Zhang Songling, who is several years younger than himself. was regarded as the captain's right-hand man. Often entrusted with important tasks. Even though this person isn't even a ** member.

"The work of the telecommunications team is very important. Your coming. It's equivalent to giving the whole partisan army ears and eyes . It can listen to the guidance of the superior department in a timely manner. I can also know the general movement of the enemy army in time." Redbeard felt the dissatisfaction of Xiao Wu, the head of the telecommunications team, very clearly. Smile and enlighten each other." Very technical work like this. Not everyone can afford it. That's why I hope you can take time out to rest. Try to combine work and rest. Otherwise. In case one day you Xiao Wu is tired and sick. How can I keep in touch with my superiors?"

"Thank you, Captain, for your encouragement. I will do my job well. And try to get acquainted with the situation of our guerrillas as soon as possible. Play a bigger role." Listened to Redbeard's explanation. Xiao Wu, the head of the communications team, finally smiled. He straightened up again and saluted a very standard military salute. Turn around and leave.

Personally sent him out of the house. Redbeard closed the door again. Shook his head with a wry smile: "This Xiao Wu. Nor does it come from where the arrogance comes from. Alas. The leaders of the military divisions are also really. I don't think I'm busy enough."

"It's not surprising. Usually the more knowledgeable the person. The bigger the temper." Zhang Songling said to the new telecom team leader Xiao Wu. Also not very satisfied. But he didn't want to count the other party's shortcomings in front of Redbeard. Add insult to injury. Anyway, I usually don't have much intersection with the technical cadres of the telecommunications team. Relationship with each other. It's far from the step of cold eyes when you meet.

"Learning. The knowledge in your belly. I don't think he's worse than him. Why didn't you even knock on the door when you entered the house?" Redbeard smiled. Shrug your shoulders slightly." Never mind. I'll talk to him about these issues when I have time. We're busy right now. A reminder about the military division. What do you think?"

"Very timely." Zhang Songling smiled and complimented. And then he analyzed it very seriously." The little devil probably felt it too. Their rear is becoming more and more unstable. In order not to raise tigers for trouble. They're definitely going to have some targeted initiatives to do. In this case. Concentrate your forces. Choose a few key targets to strike. It is their inevitable choice for the next step. But. If you don't transfer troops from the front line or the northeast. Just by virtue of the security forces left in various places. I think they're going to lose sight of one or the other. In the big picture. This could be another offensive opportunity for our side."

"Makes sense." Redbeard slapped his hand on the edge of the kang. Loudly agree." The little devil demolished the east wall and made up the west wall. We should fulfill him. Pick up all the shelves for him. So that he has no house to live in. The idea of the leadership of the military division. In a way. Some of them are a little more conservative."

"The leaders of the military sub-district are also out of love for us. I'm afraid we'll accidentally suffer." Zhang Songling is reluctant to dictate the work of superiors. Added with a smile.

"You kid." Redbeard tapped his head with his finger. Laughing and shaking his head." That's not good. Always afraid of offending the leader. There's always room to speak. At this point. You're really not as good as Xiao Wu. He's a little arrogant, though. It's going straight to the point."

Zhang Songling smiled. Didn't pick up the stubble of the red beard. His temperament is naturally a bit soft. I have experienced a lot of hardships more than my peers. Of course, it is impossible to be sharp again. But Xiao Wu came out of school and entered the headquarters of the Jinchaji Military Region. The road of life has been smooth sailing. Naturally, the temperament is a little more arrogant. It's not too tactful to deal with people.

"Don't talk about that. Get down to business." Redbeard actually prefers Zhang Songling's down-to-earth character. Smiled. Bring the conversation back to the situation at hand." Specifically, our guerrillas. There is no chance of striking the enemy .."

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Zhang Songling thought about it. The answer is given according to the actual situation of the partisans at the moment." Our side. Recruits form combat effectiveness. It will take at least one and a half to two months. And it's impossible for the little devil to keep coming over to the new leader of the Black Stone Zhai faction. In case the newly arrived devil officer is in a hurry to make some achievements to gain a foothold. I'm afraid the guerrillas are his first targets."
