Under Osa's order, six or seven brigades of the Japanese army, including Kobayashi and others, braved the wind and snow, surrounded the Santai area with three layers inside and three layers outside, and even launched a sweeping offensive in the mountains several times......

It's a pity that countless devils have been busy for more than half a month, not to mention Zhang Ran and his Jindong detachment, even the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the three columns have not found out!

When a Japanese general was scratching his ears and cheeks and wondering where Zhang Ran and the others had gone, they heard that Zhang Ran led a large group of eight roads to attack a Pingtongguan defender at Pingtongguan at night, killing nearly 100 people in less than half an hour, burning down several warehouses, and robbing a lot of materials and leaving......

Coupled with the news that the landlords' armed forces in the Zhaohua area were flanked by a group of Tubalu of unknown origin and Liu Jixiang and others from the Lingbei base area, and almost all the troops were wiped out......

Now, even fools know that these people are afraid that they have fallen for Zhang Ransheng's plan to attack the west!

First of all, they cooperated with the Santai Column and pulled out five strongholds in a row, creating the false impression that the main force of Zhang Ran and his Jindong detachment was in the Santai area, attracting heavy troops to come to encircle and suppress, and buying time for the troops in the Lingbei base area......

When his people were fooled into mobilizing troops, Zhang Ran and the others secretly jumped out of the encirclement before the encirclement was completed, not only did they let themselves and the others work in vain for more than half a month, but also did another big ...... on the way back

Seeing that thousands of deployments were tired and half dead in this and half a month, and many people were busy working in vain because of the cold and cold and sores in their hands and feet, the mood of the Japanese army Dazuo and countless Kobayashi and other generals was almost as disgusting as swallowing a mouthful of hot Xiang, and they looked up to the sky and scolded angrily: "Damn Jindong detachment, damn Zhang Ran, it's just cunning and dripping......"

But it is obvious that what makes these Japanese soldiers angry will be far more than that!

With the secret telegraph, whether it was the three columns, the Lingbei base, or the connection between them and the Jindong detachment or even the organization, they were doubly closer......

Because of this, the miraculous effect of the combination of flame throwers and earth tank smoke grenades when attacking the Japanese watchtowers, as well as the shock left on the little devils after the attack, also spread along with the radio waves......

Headquarters of the detachment.

Zhang Ran was busy working at his desk, and behind him, Deng Ying was reading by the fire, and every time he looked up, he saw Zhang Ran's back, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were full of happy smiles......

In the past, when Zhang Ran was working, she would not appear in Zhang Ran's room, and the reason why this was naturally because Zhang Ran finally showed her her heart, so that she finally didn't have to avoid the eyes of the people around her, and she could appear by Zhang Ran's side generously.

"Report!"

Someone outside the door shouted a report.

"It should be Captain Sun, they're here!"

Deng Ying smiled and went to open the door, and it was indeed Sun Hongzhong, Tu Jinjun, Dou Wensong, Du Jianbo, Su Xing, Gu Jianfeng and other commanders and fighters around the base area of the detachment......

Of course, it's not strange to be able to guess, because guys such as Kang Ting's thin monkey Wang Wenping, don't say it's a report when they enter the door, they don't even knock on the door, they just follow up at their own home......

It is estimated that those of them who are outside the detachment still maintain a little reverence for Zhang Ran, the captain, for the commander......

"Teacher Deng is also there?"

A group of people entered the room and sat down separately and joked: "We're here, we won't disturb you in the world of two, right?" ”

Deng Ying poured tea for everyone with a red face, and Zhang Ran replied with a pout: "I said that I disturbed, will you really go out again?" ”

Everyone laughed and asked Zhang Ran: "Captain, the matter between you and Mr. Deng is also settled, now that you are looking at the New Year, do you want to just do it?" The big guys are also lively together? ”

"I don't have any plans to do that yet!"

Zhang Ran glanced at Deng Ying, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about work?" What is the post-war recovery status of your base areas? At home, there is nothing wrong with the food, right? ”

"Everyone's situation is not optimistic, but because of the support given by the detachment, the villagers dare not say that they are full of food, but they will not be hungry - if you eat a dumpling in Chinese New Year's Eve, you will have no problem!"

Everyone spoke, each reported the situation in their respective bases, and raised some relevant questions to discuss with Zhang Ran, and finally said, "Captain, what are you busy with now?" Now there are Lao Kang Lao Gui Wang and their helpers in all aspects of work, but I heard that you are still busy every day, and often there are lights in the house in the middle of the night? ”

"Write some documents or something!"

Zhang Ran smiled, and covered the documents on the table without a trace, and then continued: "The organization has sent a telegram, maybe the political commissar and chief of staff will be sent over after the year, you all know about it, right?" ”

Everyone nodded, looked at Zhang Ran, and stopped talking.

"There's nothing going on on my side, but I'm more worried about yours!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "I used to follow me, you were all unrestrained wild horses, and when the political commissar and chief of staff came over, you would all be tantamount to being put on the reins, what to do in the future, you can no longer rely on your temperament, the task must be considered, but the organization and discipline must always be taken to heart, understand?" ”

"Understood, Captain!"

A few people nodded, and then complained again: "You said that the chief is too, how much effort did we put in to save him, and we didn't lose him on our side?" It's good that he actually sent a prison guard to us this time! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the political commissar is the political commissar, the chief of staff is the chief of staff, what is the supervision of the army - in the future, give me some doors, be careful of the trouble from the mouth!"

Zhang Ran's face sank and he reprimanded, and then said: "The difficulty of the chief of the chief, the same is the case in the organization, sending the chief of staff of the political commissar over, it is estimated that the organization and the chief of their side also have their considerations, which is not a bad thing - if there is no chief, do you think our flame thrower can bloom everywhere in various base areas?" ”

"That's right!"

When they heard about the flamethrower, everyone was rejoicing......

In the first battle in the Santai area, the flamethrower of the detachment showed its might, although only one stronghold of the little devil was burned, and the rest of the stronghold was shot down by tricks......

But Santai, the little devils in the Lingbei area, now almost dare not set up strongholds and watchtowers around the periphery!

Even they heard that an order had been issued by the organization to equip at least one flame thrower for all the teams in the base areas behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army, and the organization was responsible for providing fuel!

It is foreseeable that with the popularization and use of flamethrowers in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, the devils' attempts to use strongholds, watchtowers, etc. to blockade our base area will be completely dismantled......
