Sun Yumin stayed in Shanghai for two days, originally asked Zhang Quan to help find Shen Chai's whereabouts, but as a result, this bastard not only eliminated harm for the people, but also avenged Chen Yun and Da Zhuang, but was stopped by Zhang Quan, he spread his hands and said: "Shen Chai, since half a month ago, it seems to have disappeared suddenly, and there is no news of him in the huge Shanghai Beach." ”

After getting the news, Sun Yumin had no choice but to accept this reality, he had no time to spend in Shanghai, and he didn't have time to put down everything in Yangshupu for the sake of a lackey of the military commander.

After arranging for Silly Bear and Zhou Shanjun to go and buy a batch of salt and grain, the group ended their short stay in Shanghai. It was Sun Yumin's temporary decision to buy these things, and he knew very well that after a few more big battles, the enemy and us would be in a stalemate. Because the battle line of the Japanese army is too long, the materials began to collapse dramatically, and a series of blockades and looting such as Qingxiang and Lianza, as well as watchtowers and artillery towers, will begin to appear, and then people's lives will begin to be sad, and they know this history, so they naturally have to prepare early, saving the people of Yangshupu and Biandanshi and eleven small villages, and falling into a difficult and abnormal life.

The steamer, flying the Nazi flag, sailed unhindered all the way through the Yangtze River for several days before finally reaching Anqing.

The people sent by Liu Wenzhi did not wait for them in Anqing, but met them at an almost deserted ferry port upstream of Anqing. In order to facilitate the unloading of the boat, they even set up a temporary pontoon platform in the middle of the river.

This was the arrangement for Sun Yumin to send a telegram when he was in Shanghai, although Yangshupu did not have a full-time telecommunications personnel and did not have a special radio frequency, but when Wang Youcai and the others came over, they brought the radio station of the devils in Huoshan County, and Dong Wenbin, who was born as a telegrapher, used the commercial station to send a telegram at the agreed frequency and within the agreed time period, which was still very easy.

With the arrangement, Sun Yumin and the others naturally did not get off the boat in Anqing, and after traveling upstream with the boat for dozens of miles, they finally saw the docking signal set by Liu Wenzhi.

After stepping on the land by the river and unloading the goods on the ship, Sun Yumin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the more than a month of running finally came to an end.

There are two companies of people brought by Dai Cunxiang and Li Tianxi to greet them, all of them are in the costume of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and even the banner is the number of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

There's no way, after all, it's so far away from the nest, and there will be a lot of incidents without a trick. Sun Yumin didn't have any opinion on this, but he was worried that he would have a misunderstanding with his allies. With so many supplies and equipment, if you are not careful, something really goes wrong, and it is too late to regret it.

Thinking of this, he asked Zhou Shanjun and Wu Linsheng to take a few people to reconnoiter on both sides of the way back, and then let Dai Cunxiang and them command a mixed team of mules and horses, migrant workers, and soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Allied Army, and set out on the way back to Huoshan.

…………

Chongqing.

Dai Li sat in his office, crossed Erlang's legs, and listened to Zhao Lijun's report.

"Bureau, the surname Sun has already set off from Shanghai and gone up to Anqing along the river."

"Moved so fast, didn't he get into trouble along the way? The Japanese give face like this? ”

"Bureau, although the small freighter surnamed Sun is not big, it is under the flag of the Germans, and even the captain is a serious German, and the Japanese dare not do anything."

"This Sun Yumin really has nobles to help him every time."

Dai Li sighed, as if he was also envious of Sun Yumin's good luck.

"Bureau, judging from the secret telegram sent by Barley Grass earlier, it was Sun Yumin who robbed the weapons of the Zhongtong gang, do you want to tell Xu Enzeng? Let him go to the bad luck surnamed Sun. ”

"What's the hurry? It's not a big batch of things, and if you lose another batch, Xu Enzeng may not be distressed. Dai Li's hand kept rubbing his chin, as if he was thinking, and he continued: "I don't care what Sun Yumin brought back from Tianjin Wei and Shanghai this time, I just want to know what his relationship is with the New Fourth Army?" On this point, is there any report on barley? ”

"Yes, Barley reported that while in Shanghai, Sun had been in contact with one of his former subordinates, who was now GD, and that he had kept the spirit of one of his lovers for most of the year. It's the woman who was killed by Wang Jinping, and Shen Chai also has a share, or did you ask me to find an excuse to call him to Chongqing to avoid Sun Yumin. ”

"His former subordinates? What period? Teaching Corps or Twentieth Division? ”

"I don't know much about this, and I didn't mention it, but I may be able to find some answers from another thing reported by Barley."

"What's the matter?"

"Barley grass said that Sun Yumin's former guard is now a regiment commander in Yan'an." Zhao Lijun replied: "Extrapolating from the time, it should be the period of teaching the corps to be able to climb to the regimental position. ”

After Zhao Lijun said this, he handed a document bag in his hand to Dai Li, and continued: "Based on this consideration, I transferred all the personnel files of the Second Regiment and the Second Battalion of the 26th Year Teaching Corps of the People's League from the archives, and screened out this person, and the person that Barley Grass said should be him. ”

Dai Li didn't open the file bag, threw it directly on the table, and said, "Go on." ”

"Shi Zhonghua, male, from Sangzhi, Hunan, enlisted in the army in the 24th year of the Republic of China, and has always been the correspondent of the second regiment and the second battalion of the teaching corps. After the Battle of Nanjing, this person's name appeared in the list of the dead, and the name of the GD in Shanghai, Barley, was not reported, so I can't confirm whether he was a subordinate of Sun Yumin during the teaching corps or the 20th Division. ”

Zhao Lijun, as one of the four King Kongs under Dai Li, is also a clear and discerning person in doing things, not just because of sycophancy, judging from the preparation before the report, he is a capable person.

"It's not surprising, Sun Yumin doesn't know what magic there is, the people gathered around him are all real, Barley Grass said in the last report, the three brigade commanders of the 20th Division, two are still following him, and a few are regiment commanders and battalion commanders. It would be nothing surprising if it was just one person who gave up his high-ranking officials and lords to follow him, but if there was a group of people who were willing to give up their glory and wealth and follow him with all their hearts, it would be worth noting. Dai Li seemed to be teaching Zhao Lijun, and then said: "This is also the reason why I have not moved him for a long time, otherwise I will kill him on the small steamer that came to Chongqing, there are many people in the party-state who can fight well, but there are really few people who dare to fight the Japanese with their lives, but this Sun Yumin is definitely one." ”

"Is the surname Sun so good at fighting?" Zhao Lijun asked suspiciously.

"Of course, do you remember the last battle he fought?"

"Does Jiangxi fight the Botian detachment?"

"Yes, this army composed of Taiwanese devil soldiers went up the river and swept through half of China, and no one could stop hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but as soon as he came out of the horse and beat the Botian detachment into a heavy cripple with a regiment of soldiers, he no longer had the ability to fight, and the few remaining remnants returned to Taiwan to rest and recuperate."

In the original battle, Sun Yumin did not only use a regiment of soldiers, but coerced Zhang Xiaohu to use the entire 20th Division, and also buried all the artillery regiments on the bank of the Yangtze River, and his henchman Sun Jiehai died here. It can be said that the battle of defeating the Potian detachment made the 20th Division almost exhaust its last breath of vitality.

After Sun Yumin left the 20th Division, this army with a lot of achievements could no longer get the same supplies as before, even if it had the same feats as defeating the Potian detachment. Zhang Xiaohu does not mean that he does not work hard, nor does he mean that he is not dedicated, but how can he compare with Sun Yumin, who is Chen Bui's son-in-law, because of the fact that since that war, there has been no news from the 20th Division.

"The surname Sun is so powerful, and he is in a high position and has a heavy army, why do you want to suddenly cheat to death?" Zhao Lijun couldn't understand why this person would do this.

Although the chairman of the committee is very disappointed in Sun Yumin, he still cherishes this general, so he will order me to investigate the reasons for this and report to him." Dai Li smiled bitterly as he spoke, sighed and said, "The national army has really not won a happy battle for a long time since Sun Yumin. ”

"So what do we do now? The barley grass is waiting for our instructions. Zhao Lijun asked.

"Let her be quiet, and report any situation in time." Dai Li sighed and said, "Unless Sun Yumin really changes his banner, the old man is reluctant to kill him." ”

"Okay, Bureau." After Zhao Lijun got the instructions he wanted, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned back and said, "Bureau, I still have a situation here, I don't know if it will help to control Sun Yumin's side." ”

Dai Li, who was already flipping through the file of the stone on the table, replied casually: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

"The director of the garrison's political work of the 21st Group Army has sent you a telegram asking for instructions that the commander and political commissar of a main force under the four detachments of the New Fourth Army have already sent people to secretly contact the 48th Army because they want to join the 48th Army."

Zhao Lijun couldn't figure out Dai Li's attitude on this matter, and according to the routine of the military commanders, for these personnel who had been voted from GCD or Wang Puppet or even Manchukuo, he had always only given a sum of money, and then given an idle position, so that they could retire on the side or wait for death. Now, he is reporting this kind of thing to him, and Zhao Lijun really has no bottom in his heart.

"Four detachments of the New Fourth Army? Isn't it the group of people who are very close to Sun Yumin? You figure out which regiment is under the four detachments, who is going to throw in, whether it is with troops or just themselves. ”

Dai Li's eyes were about to shine, he knew that the perfect time had come, if he could turn the four teams upside down, and then put this cauldron on Sun Yumin's head, then no matter how magnanimous the people on the GCD side were, Sun Yumin himself would not dare to throw himself over. Then there is only one way left for him, to obediently return to the chairman and obediently lead the troops to fight.

…………

When Sun Yumin returned, he was greeted by a welcome from the Biandanshi to the poplar shop, including the eleven small villages he passed through on the way.

In the minds of these people, Sun Yumin is their heaven and their earth.

The enthusiasm of the people along the way surprised Lu Man, who saw this situation for the first time, especially when she heard that whether it was an elderly man or a child still wearing open pants, everyone respectfully called Sun Yumin the owner, and her heart was not touched at all. As a GCD person, she has seen this kind of scene, and that was when she was in the Great Northwest; But now, in a corner of Dabie Mountain, she actually saw this kind of scene, although it was not as good as the scene in the northwest, but it was enough.

Lu Man looked at Sun Yumin, who kept greeting the people and making noise, looking at his usually indifferent and hideous face, now he was smiling, and even a few people were separated, she could feel this heartfelt enthusiasm.

The materials and equipment were sent up the mountain, and Gu Hongying did not try her best to persuade Sun Yumin and them to go up the mountain, because she knew that after going out for more than a month, Sun Yumin and the little girl would definitely be extremely anxious to see Chu Jiu.

Since Lu Man kicked into the territory of Huoshan, he never saw the little girl and Chen Lai again, these two women were like arrows, they didn't say a word, they snatched the horses of Dai Cunxiang and Li Tianxi, and galloped away.

If it weren't for seeing the little girl and Chen Lai at the entrance of the village, holding a baby, surrounded by a large group of people, standing beside a tall and thin soldier and two old men, and greeting his people, Lu Man almost forgot that there was still Chen Yun's posthumous son in this place.

The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than the greeting atmosphere along the way, and many firecrackers and fireworks were set off at the entrance of the village, mixed with the loud voices of people, and it was so noisy that it was almost impossible to hear what the people on the side were saying.

Sun Yumin did not lose his etiquette, although he missed his daughter very much, he still restrained his thoughts, pointed to the baby in the little girl's arms, and said to Lu Man: "This is our daughter, the ninth day of the first month." Then he talked to the old village chief and Uncle Yang Dong.

Lu Man originally thought that with Liu Wenzhi's help, he would be less embarrassed, but he didn't expect that after Sun Yumin passed, he only called his sister-in-law and also accompanied him, which made Lu Man at a loss for a while, standing in place, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Chen Lai was not hostile to her, and the little girl was also intentionally helping, and handed over Chu Jiu, who was scared by firecrackers in her arms.

As soon as she arrived in Lu Man's arms, Chu Jiu suddenly stopped crying, she opened her small eyes, staring at this strange woman desperately, and after looking at it for a while, she turned her head to look at the little girl and Chen Lai who were stretching out their heads to look at the side and looking at them, their eyes stayed on the faces of the three women, and they didn't know what she was looking at.

"Chu Jiu, this is Mom."

It was Chen Lai who said this.

Lu Man and the little girl were frightened by this sentence at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they both looked at Chen Lai, who said this.

"I know I'm pretty, but I don't want you two women to look like this." Chen Lai was laughing and teasing Chu Jiu, and he didn't raise his head when he said this.

The little girl just wanted to speak, but she heard Chen Lai say another sentence: "You are the wife that Sun Yumin is marrying, and you are naturally the mother of the ninth year." ”

This sentence reached the tip of Lu Man's heart, her tears welled up, kissed Xiao Chujiu's face, and said: "Chujiu, mom is here, from now on you are no longer a motherless child, you have loved your parents, and you have loved your aunts and aunts." ”

After Sun Yumin and Liu Wenzhi sent the old village chief and Uncle Yang Dong back, they were about to ask about the Volunteer Regiment, but they saw Lin Yuanping running in a hurry and said, "Boss, something is wrong." ”

"What's the matter?"

Sun Yumin saw the seriousness of the matter from the anxious look on Lin Yuanping's face, and hurriedly asked.

"Yang Kezhi, the head of the fourth detachment and the seventh regiment, and Zheng Cao Yufu have defected!"

Although he had known that this would be the end, Sun Yumin was still shocked by this fact, he could understand Cao Yufu's defection, but the iron-clad Yang Kezhi defected with him, which was something he couldn't understand anyway.
