Compared to the town, the mountains seem to wake up a little later.

I got up early in the morning and pushed open the door. Smelling the faint smell of grass in the air, I stepped on the dry and hard earth and rocky ground under my feet. Yue Siliang climbed the high slope behind the regiment headquarters.

The soldiers in charge of the sentry along the way saw Yue Siliang and saluted, and Yue Siliang did not let them follow him after returning the salute, but just stood alone on the top of the mountain. In front of me are layers of mountains, and the yellow leaves are all over the ground. In the middle of the mountains in the distance, a bright red sun is rising in the east.

"The head of the regiment is really Yaxing, I didn't expect to come here alone to watch the sunrise."

Just as Yue Siliang looked at the distance and his thoughts were flying, a hearty laugh came from below. Di Hanming held the small tree at the bend of the mountain road and walked onto the platform where Yue Siliang was standing.

"The commissar is here, how do you know I'm here."

Seeing Di Hanming's appearance, Yue Siliang was stunned.

"The comrades standing guard have all watched you wander around our defense area, and for security reasons, they must have come to report to me."

"That's the same thing."

Yue Siliang nodded suddenly in realization, and then didn't say anything, still standing there looking into the distance and thinking about something.

"Commander, I know you're not happy. The division commander thinks about problems from a larger perspective than we do. I think since he gave this order, he naturally had some consideration. ”

Di Hanming looked at Yue Siliang with some concern, years of cooperation made him extremely aware of the other party's temperament. On some specific things, he has his own insistence. Now that they have just opened up some situations in Lingqiu, in his heart, they are absolutely unwilling to withdraw from Lingqiu County with a frown and give up all their efforts during this time.

However, military orders are like mountains, and the law is unforgiving. Although Di Hanming himself was not very comfortable in his heart, he knew that the division commander's order must not be disobeyed, especially this time the division headquarters order conveyed by the brigade commander was a death order for the regiments below!

"Alas, Hamming. That's all I had on my mind. The division headquarters told us to withdraw, so let's withdraw. It is just a question of when to withdraw. Big deal, give the little devil a bite before we retreat.

Just over thirty hours ago, there was a battle in the south of us, Niangziguan! What did it mean after the Japanese conquered Niangzi Pass? It means that the Japanese can point directly to Taiyuan! Taiyuan is the center of Shanxi in every sense! administrative, economic, industrial, geographical......

What does it mean that the division headquarters told us to prepare for the transfer in advance? It shows that they are not optimistic about this battle led by Yan Laoxi! The chances of Taiyuan being able to keep it are probably very small.

Although so many military strategists in history have said not to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. But this is actually to be divided into two to look at, some lands and cities can not be taken care of, and some lands and cities can not be ignored!

Taiyuan is different from Lingqiu, we can leave Lingqiu with a disgraced face. Most of the generals who have won a hundred battles only exist in the romance, even if we lose this battle, it doesn't hurt, just find a way to get it back if we lose it. But once Taiyuan is lost, the whole Shanxi will become extremely difficult! ”

"Haha......"

Di Hanming laughed out loud when he heard Yue Siliang's words, causing Yue Siliang to stare at him with strange eyes.

"Commander, I still want to enlighten you, after a long time, it turns out that you are worrying about the sky. Can you think of these things, but the teacher, boss, and leader can't think of them? It was precisely because of these things that the division commander asked us to give up the current situation first. Why is that? Isn't it just thinking about Xu Tu's future?

Instead of thinking about these things that are 108,000 miles away from us, you should think more about the things in front of you. The more than 1,700 people in our group are still waiting for the rice to be cooked. Think about how we don't go hungry. ”

Compared with Yue Siliang, who is thoughtful and has a long vision, Di Hanming is much more open-minded. Maybe he can't look to the future and consider the overall situation. But he trusted others a little more than Yue Siliang. He knows that he can do what is in front of him, and he also believes that his comrades can do what they have to do.

After listening to Di Hanming's words, Yue Siliang's expression was stunned. It was a long time before he smiled again.

"You're right, maybe I'm obsessed. Instead of thinking about those things all day long, let's take care of your own job first. I don't have enough food and clothing, and I still wonder what the use of that is. ”

Seeing that his persuasion had worked, Di Hanming also really laughed. He actually came here for two things, one was to persuade Yue Siliang. Another thing is to report something to the other person. After the order from the brigade headquarters came down yesterday, Di Hanming could clearly feel the change in Yue Siliang's mood, and he heard Lei Zi say that Yue Siliang didn't seem to have slept well all night last night.

"Regiment Commander, if you really figure it out now, then I'll tell you one more thing, which is related to our current military rations."

Di Hanming's words pushed Yue Siliang's ears together at that time, and he remembered that the other party seemed to have something to say to him yesterday, but it was just a coincidence that the news of Niangziguan's defeat and the order of the division headquarters were diverted.

"After you came back the night before yesterday, you asked us to investigate the Zhang family carefully, and we still got a lot of information about the affairs of this big Zhang family.

Interestingly, this Zhang family is very low-key, and the Zhang family's reputation in Lingqiu is not too good, but it has never had any notoriety. Rent collection is also rarely difficult for tenants, they do what they want, and they often give to their tenants in disaster years. And the same is true of the people of the Zhang family, although they have more or less bad habits, but there have never been any big traitors over the years. ”

Di Hanming said. Yue Siliang fell into thought at the same time. After a period of time had passed, Yue Siliang nodded.

"If you say so, this Zhang family is still an object that can be fought for. At the very least, it should be someone who can trade with us on an equal footing......"

Halfway through speaking, Yue Siliang stopped talking again.

"Not necessarily, it's often hard to say about a low-key person or family like this. Neither good nor bad often means that they are neutral, that is, their position is unclear, or it can be no position at all. ”

Yue Siliang said this, and Di Hanming also nodded. From an analytical point of view, Yue Siliang's thinking is very correct. But he still hasn't finished speaking.

"Commander, I think you can make a judgment after listening to what I say next......

In fact, just yesterday morning, the representative of the villagers in our base area in the Baiyatai area reported to us. The people of the Zhang family, uh, he has been in contact with us, and it seems that they want to understand us. Of course, the other party was not sure of our attitude, and we were not sure whether the villager representative would be able to pass on the information. In short, the other party is extremely cautious. But there seems to be a desire to sell us food. ”

"Oh?! Interesting...... The Zhang family actually took the initiative to contact us...... As the saying goes, catching up is not buying and selling. People are rushing to post it to us, so we have to be careful not to have any cats in the middle. Have you found out if anyone in the Zhang family is currently serving in the puppet government, or is directly working for the Japanese? ”

"We really focused on investigating, which is why I just said that the Zhang family is interesting. In the entire Lingqiu, the Zhang family seems to be the only big family that has not moved into the county. And there are not many people in the Zhang family themselves, and it seems that the family has only been this group of people from beginning to end. It can be said that the people of the Zhang family are very easy to investigate, and there are not too many people in total, and it is very clear who is doing what. ”

"Hey!"

Yue Siliang exclaimed, and then thought of something.

"By the way, how are you investigating Zhang Yi?"

"Well, you've emphasized this guy. We're definitely going to focus on the investigation. According to the person who worked for the Zhang family for a long time, Zhang Yi was the son of the Zhang family. Some old workers have a good impression of him, saying that he is smart when he is a child, and he is willing to get close to these people who carry work. It's just that there is a little bit that I don't like to be obedient. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, Mrs. Zhang was not worried and sent to study in the county. I didn't come back for several years. Now it's not that I'm still studying, but I'm taking care of business or something......"

Di Hanming said this, Yue Siliang silently arranged it for Zhang Yi in his heart.

"The Zhang family is not only interesting for the portal, but also for the people. Don't like to be obedient...... Interesting......"

"Commander, what do you think about this matter?"

Yue Siliang even said a few interesting things, as if he was saying a tongue twister, and Di Hanming didn't hear what the other party thought for a while.

"Well, let's get in touch with each other first. Of course, the premise is to ensure the safety of our personnel, and if it is really possible, we will listen to what the Zhang family has planned. As for that Zhang Yi...... Tomorrow is the three-day appointment we had before, and I will have a good meeting with this Mr. Zhang Yi for a while. ”
