Liu Lianming spat and said for a long time, then handed the account book in his hand to several leaders: "If we can get them, I think we can not only get some information." It can also protect the families of new recruits and fighters whose families are in Japanese-occupied areas. Duuplicitism is not a good thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing on this issue. By the way, I also got a batch of fertile field flour through them. ”

"This is a free distribution to the people in the western part of Hubei in order to win over the people. In the past, I heard that the Jin Sui army used this thing to make artillery shells, and I thought that since this thing can make artillery shells, it can also be used as explosives. I collected all these things through these little traitors. I brought more than 100 kilograms, and the rest was hidden in the traitors' houses. ”

Hearing Liu Lianming's report, Li Ziyuan didn't care. Ma Yongcheng and the political commissar of the Changzhi Independent Battalion beside him both nodded in unison after glancing at each other. In particular, the political commissar of the Changzhi Independent Battalion, after carefully reading the account book handed over by Liu Lianming, patted his thigh and praised it again and again as a good way.

Although Liu Lianming has a limited level of education, he remembers these so-called accounts, and no one else can understand them except himself. But under Liu Lianming's explanation, his account book is still very clear. Basically, in all the villages in the western part of Hubei, the pseudo-township chiefs are on it. I remember very well what these people had done, and what they had helped them with.

How to deal with these traitors has always been a difficult problem in local work. It's impossible to kill them, some of them are pushed up by the common people or forced by devils to do it, and there is no harm in it on weekdays. But keeping it is also a problem, although these people are not harmful, but the devil can't do without them for food or something.

The following so-called little traitors are the lowest level of the Japanese puppet army's rule, and they are also their most critical link. If there is harm, there must be some harm. But to say that there is too much harm, at least in the location of these people, it will not cause much harm.

Of course, those traitors who provide intelligence to the Japanese puppet army and reveal the location of the troops' activities will also bring serious harm. But apart from this one, the harm is still basically not great. These people, whether to kill or not is also a dilemma. Killing, sometimes not only has little effect, but also tends to cause the opposite effect.

Although this method proposed by Liu Lianming is not new. I heard that other base areas have adopted similar methods to deal with traitors, but I have never really seen it. At present, Liu Lianming has put forward practice first, and it has also allowed these cadres engaged in local work to have an attempt.

Looking at the excited political commissar of the Changzhi Independent Battalion, Li Ziyuan shook his head. He didn't want to participate in the local work at all, and he was very reluctant to think about the days when he was conscripted for military and grain requisition, dealing with the common people every day, and having chicken feathers everywhere at every turn. This set of methods proposed by Liu Lianming is something that only local cadres should consider, not that he, a military cadre, should consider.

If it weren't for Ma Yongcheng and the political commissar of the Changzhi Independent Battalion, who listened to it in detail and was very interested, he would even ask Liu Lianming to wait until he returned to Hubei to discuss his thoughts with Liu Yanlai and Chang Juan. I didn't have that extra time to listen to his report on things that had nothing to do with his own actions.

It's just that others are very interested, so Li Ziyuan didn't have the bother to interrupt him. After the excitement of several other people passed, Li Ziyuan dragged Liu Lianming to open the map and said: "Judging from the battle situation tonight, the devil obviously emptied the Japanese troops in the surrounding strongholds, leaving only the puppet army to garrison." ”

"Otherwise, no matter how fast the Japanese army returns to help, it is impossible to be beaten yesterday and transfer back so many troops today. However, in the past two days, the 36th Division will definitely continue to draw troops back from the mountainous areas. Therefore, although the Japanese army is concentrated in Changzhi City at the moment, you should not be careless in the slightest. ”

"Your task is very clear, that is, like a nail, firmly nail it to the periphery of Changzhi and provide us with information on the deployment and adjustment of the Japanese puppet army. Aside from this mission, as long as the Japanese army does not hit you right under your nose, you are not allowed to take any action. Remember, this outing is the eyes of our troops. ”

"As for the cooperation of the Changzhi Independent Battalion, I will go and talk to them. They are well aware of the hostility and the people's feelings, and you must be able to listen to their arrangements. You kid is absolutely not allowed to make decisions without permission, let alone listen to others. Remember, the dragon doesn't crush the snake yet. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's order, Liu Lianming pondered for a while and nodded: "Detachment leader, there is no problem with this. It's just that this is forcing the devil to transport the grain away in advance, and I'm afraid it's still a little insufficient. I wonder if I'm putting on makeup and touching the Nanguan Freight Yard once and trying to figure out how to him? ”

"Right now, I estimate that the devil has suffered such a big loss in a row, and he will definitely go crazy and look for us everywhere. My unit is short and concise, and as long as the brother troops send personnel to cooperate with us, I think there is still a way to take advantage of them to hunt us down, and the empty situation in the rear is messing with him. ”

Looking at Li Ziyuan, who was thoughtful, Liu Lianming smiled and said: "This time I went to the western part of Hubei to carry out activities alone, and those puppet armies such as the puppet Jin Southern Founding Army will only stick to the stronghold and not come out." I fought a few grain convoys, and I pretended to be a Japanese gendarmerie and took a few strongholds, and I got so many weapons. ”

"But the detachment leader, the devil still has a very strict control over the Jinnan National Army. Those who buckle the cords in the distribution of bullets are far less generous than those of the pseudo-garrison. It's the same with weapons, nothing new has been obtained, it's all old stuff. Of the more than a dozen Jinzao submachine guns seized, a total of three white rounds of ammunition were seized. ”

"On average, less than thirty rounds per gun. The muzzle of the gun is old, and the bullet doesn't go in a straight line. I didn't bother to ask for it, so I gave it all back. The current Jin-made submachine gun is not as good as the barge gun. The bullets are gone, and there is nowhere to look for them. ”

"At present, the puppet army in the entire Hubei territory is frequently mobilized, and the puppet Jinnan National Founding Army has been demolished. Judging from the confessions of the captives, they were very dissatisfied with the reorganization. In particular, the food and wages given to them by the devils are often in arrears at the moment, and this time they have not even been paid for half a year. The salaries for the garrison have never been in arrears. ”

"Captain, this is our chance. Should we do anything to these puppet soldiers? At least don't let them make trouble for us. Originally, they were mortal enemies with the garrison, but now the devils attach importance to the garrison and despise them is a rare opportunity for us. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Lianming looked at the surrounding environment and whispered to Li Ziyuan: "Detachment leader, I suggest that you don't stay in this Laoding Mountain for too long. It's too close to Changzhi City, and the depth here is too shallow. If the devil searches for us, the first one will choose this Laoding Mountain. ”

"You still believe me, just leave this task to me, and you take the troops to move in other directions as soon as possible. It's best to leave tonight and don't delay here. I'm worried that if you wait until dawn and the devils block the front and back of Laoding Mountain, it will be difficult for you to walk. ”

"I was active in the western part of Hubei this time, and I established a little relationship with the backbone of the puppet Jin Southern Founding Army. This time, all the puppet Jinnan Jianguo troops I captured were released, and most of the captured weapons were returned to them. They thanked me and gave me a batch of bullets. Although the number is not much, they are all barge shells and bullets that we need. ”

"I'll see if you should retreat to the western part of Hubei first, and use the relationship I have established with you to hide and wait for a while. When I find out the situation on my side, we will figure out a way depending on the changes in the enemy's situation. Otherwise, in this flat Shangdang Basin, I am very worried that the target of our troops is too big and easy to be discovered by devils. ”

Regarding Liu Lianming's suggestion, Li Ziyuan hesitated for a while and finally did not agree. He was only asked to keep an eye on the changes in the enemy situation in Changzhi and the grain in the Nanguan Freight Yard. was afraid that this guy would act alone and not listen to other people's Li Ziyuan, and when he was leaving, he repeatedly asked Liu Lianming to calm down.

First of all, we must pay attention to saving ourselves, so as to better complete the tasks assigned by our superiors. However, Li Ziyuan hesitated for a moment, and gave Liu Lianming the barge guns in the batch of munitions seized from the Nanguan Freight Yard, as well as the British-made revolver and two boxes of Japanese-made grenades. He also asked for more than a dozen mines from the Changzhi Independent Battalion and handed them over to Liu Lianming.

Liu Lianming's approach to the troops belonging to the puppet Jinnan Founding Army, Li Ziyuan still chose to support it. However, in private, Li Ziyuan still confessed to Liu Lianming. This matter is said to have been arranged to him by himself in advance, and he did not act without authorization. Hearing Li Ziyuan's explanation, Liu Lianming, who knew Li Ziyuan's thoughts, nodded lightly to show that he understood.

And Liu Lianming did not delay in accepting the new task. Immediately led the troops to have a hasty dinner, and then touched in the direction of Changzhi. After Liu Lianming left the mountain, Li Ziyuan did not continue to stay in the Laoding Mountain. He did not return to Hubei or Ludong, but chose the opposite route to return to the team.

Jump into the territory of Lucheng with the troops, and go west along the border line between Lucheng and Changzhi, and enter the Fushan area in the territory of Tunliu to rest and wait. Li Ziyuan believed that it might take a few days for the 36th Division to send troops from the base area to Changzhi for reinforcements. However, it was not so far to mobilize troops from within the base area and reach Hubei and Ludong.

Li Ziyuan believed that he had continuously raided Changzhi City, and it was very likely that the Japanese army had already determined his identity. Maybe behind his back, the 36th Division had already arranged an ambush circle to wait for him. It is not a very good idea for me to withdraw to the Ludong area at the moment.

Since the Japanese army has now evacuated the surrounding Japanese troops, and it is possible that they are waiting for themselves on their way home. Then it is more appropriate to be cautious and more appropriate. Although Laodingshan District is too close to Changzhi City, the problem is that it is not far from other directions, so why do you have to honestly follow the original path to return?

Hubei and Licheng are separated by a mountain ridge, and if the Japanese puppet army sets off from the territory of Licheng, it will not take long to enter the eastern mountainous area of Hubei. He retreated to Hubei and Ludong, first, the combat goal of this time has not been completed, and the grain that the Japanese army has hoarded in Changzhi has not yet been transported.

Second, Li Ziyuan was worried that if he returned to Hubei, he would fall into the devil's ambush circle. Rather than risk retreating now, it's better to make a noise. hid around Changzhi City and waited, looking for an opportunity to stab him. If the devils don't hurt them, they won't transport the grain away for a day.
