Zhou Shanjun and Uncle Wang fought desperately with the devil puppet army in Huoshan City, and Liu Wenzhi led two companies of soldiers to Huoshan in a hurry, but at this time, Gu Hongying, who was in Biandanshi, received a telegram from Li Pinxian of the 21st Group Army.

When Sun Yumin was in Yangshupu, he maintained a good relationship with Ou Shounian, the commander of the 176th Division, and Zhang Yichun, who was the commander of the 48th Army at the time.

The telegram was forwarded by Ou Shou Nian, who had been promoted to commander of the 48th Army, and the content was: "The independent detachment of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army remaining in Huoshan and transferring to Lihuang must arrive before 12 p.m. ”

"When will it be Li Pinxian's turn to point fingers here!" Gu Hongying trembled with anger, although she said this on her lips, she knew very well in her heart that this was a traitor who had fled over there.

Liu Wenzhi went to rescue Wang Yanru, now she is the biggest on the Biandanshi Mountain, originally thought that the traitor did not arrive in Lihuang so quickly, and he could rescue Wang Yanru and then make plans, but now Li Pinxian sent a telegram so quickly, and the wording was so harsh, it can be seen that the seriousness of the matter has exceeded the previous estimate.

Li Pinxian can send such a message, it can be seen that his attitude towards this matter, although Gu Hongying has never dealt with him, but with her experience in the rivers and lakes for so many years, Li Pinxian will definitely not just send a message and do things hastily, if the guess is correct, with this telegram at the same time, there must be troops that have begun to advance towards Yangshu, and it is very likely that it is the 176th Division of the 48th Army stationed at the junction of Lihuang and Huoshan.

Although Gu Hongying is a woman, she is actually more resolute than Liu Wenzhi in doing things. She immediately said to the staff officer on duty: "Order all the troops to retreat to Yangshupu and Biandanshi, and even the troops of Foziling are also withdrawn, and the previous order to build fortifications and dig trenches has been cancelled, except for the troops brought to Huoshan by the deputy commander, no matter which national army unit wants to enter our defense area, it will not work." Speaking of this, Gu Hongying felt that she hadn't made the problem very serious, and she continued: "Tell all companies and battalions that if anyone dares to collide, they can open fire directly, without waiting for the order of me and the deputy commander." ”

This is already a naked statement, this is also determined to break with the national army, Gu Hongying showed her courage to stand alone, in exchange for Liu Wenzhi, she will definitely look forward and backward, maybe she will personally run to the front to explain to others, and seek skin with the tiger, this is not Gu Hongying's style.

"Director, I'm afraid this is not very appropriate, do you think you should discuss it with the deputy commander before making a decision?" The staff officer on duty was obviously shocked by her order, not that he was still thinking about having anything to do with the national army, but that he was worried about how he could resist the 48th Army with the strength of less than two regiments of Yangshupu and Biandanshi.

"After careful discussion, according to my order, you immediately send a messenger to tell the deputy commander about this matter." Gu Hongying was very strong, and she then said to the telegrapher: "Immediately contact the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army and ask the XHD Commander to send troops to support and receive us." ”

"Are you going to lead us to the New Fourth Army immediately?" The staff officer asked again.

"That's right, if my expectations are right, Li Pinxian has already sent troops to deal with us, if the deputy commander hits Huoshan County again, then we will immediately be attacked on both sides, if we don't go to the New Fourth Army, we will definitely be unable to resist." Gu Hongying explained.

"We are the troops of the Twelfth Army, aren't Li Pinxian afraid of annoying the military seat?" The staff officer said very reasonably, although Li Pinxian is the chairman of a province and is in charge of the entire 21 st Group Army, he may not dare to provoke Sun Yumin.

"If there is no traitor to inform, he will naturally not dare, but now not only does he have a sufficient reason, but he may also ...... to the military seat" Gu Hongying said, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said to the telegrapher: "After contacting the New Fourth Army, you will immediately turn off the radio station, and you can no longer contact any party, especially with the military seat." ”

She just suddenly thought that it was not a trivial matter for the left-behind troops to switch to the New Fourth Army, although the military seat also had this meaning, but it was by no means a direct surrender now, not to mention that it was not ready at all, and the New Fourth Army would be caught off guard, let alone the military seat far away in Hunan. How can this endgame be solved, if Liu Wenzhi dealt with it, he would contact Sun Yumin through the radio as soon as possible, but Gu Hongying did not do so. The reason is very simple, the boss's order to transfer them to the New Fourth Army was brought back by Zhou Shanjun, and he did not simply send a telegram, which shows that the military seat will be worried about the leakage of information. Now the news that this side is going to switch to the New Fourth Army has obviously leaked, and if he still takes the initiative to contact the 12th Army at this time, it will not give people a handle. Gu Hongying is very smart, but her most outstanding strength is courage and determination, and her move to turn off the radio station is very, very wise and correct, giving Sun Yumin, who is far away in Hunan, a very, very good excuse: everything in Huoshan happened without his knowledge.

Just as Gu Hongying expected, the staff officer of the 1st Regiment who defected with two platoons fled to the 176th Division of the 48th Army of the National Army in a panic, and immediately informed the commander of the 176th Division that Yang Shupu and Bian Danshi were going to defect to the New Fourth Army.

This day's great military situation startled Yu Yi, the commander of the 176th Division, and hurriedly reported it to his old boss, Ou Shounian, the commander of the 48th Army.

Although Ou Shounian didn't dare to believe it, he wanted to report to the top only after inquiring and verifying clearly, after all, he had a good relationship with Sun Yumin, and he also knew the seriousness of this matter, so he planned to suppress it down and investigate it before making the next step, but a few words from the chief of staff made him stunned from the bottom of his heart. The chief of staff said this: "Junzao, I think it's better for you to report it directly, whether this matter is true or not, it has nothing to do with you, but if you have to take care of the face of the surname Sun and forcibly suppress this matter, once the defection incident really occurs, then your responsibility will be great." If only a small number of troops on this side defect, then although we are at fault, but the sin is not a big deal, but have you ever thought that if you defect together with Sun Yumin and the entire Twelfth Army, then you may have to take on the role of your accomplices, even if you finally confirm your innocence, it will be useless, your career is also the end, you should know the character of the commission, he may use a person who dares to suppress the defection and not report it? Far from it, isn't Sun Tongxuan's example the best proof? ”

The words of the chief of staff made Ou Shounian's original intention to temporarily suppress the idea disappear immediately, although he wanted to take care of Sun Yumin's face, but he really didn't dare to joke about his future, so he immediately rushed to the temporary provincial capital of Lihuang in person, where Li Pinxian worked.

As expected by the chief of staff, Li Pinxian was shocked when he heard this, and while reporting to the Ministry of Military Affairs, he directly ordered Ou Shounian to send troops to approach Yangshupu, and also told him: "If Yangshupu's troops dare to resist, they will be eliminated on the spot!" ”

Although his own report was praised by Li Pinxian, Ou Shounian had mixed feelings in his heart, others did not know the combat effectiveness of Sun Yumin's department, but he was very clear, although Sun Yumin was not in Yangshupu now, and there were not many troops left in Yangshupu, but if he wanted to eat them, it was estimated that he would have to break his two front teeth. Ou Shounian is the teacher of the 176th Division, the 176th Division has a few catties and taels, how much combat effectiveness, he is like a mirror in his heart, if there is really an evil, it may not be enough for others to fight.

It was with this idea that after Ou Shounian returned to the military headquarters, he personally telegraphed Yu Yi, telling him to act at the opportunity, not to take the initiative to provoke a battle, and to wait for his orders. Although Ou Shounian did not explicitly say that the 176th Division would delay if it could, and if it could not fight, it would not fight, but as his old subordinate and confidant, Yu Yi knew his mind very well. Yu Yi wished that this was the case, if he could enter the Buddha Ridge without blood, then his task would be completed.

The troops ordered by Gu Hongying contracted, and in Yu Yi's heart, they became the troops of the other party who were afraid of him, and they were unwilling to fight with him.

…………

When Liu Wenzhi rushed to the outside of the city with two companies of troops, there was silence in Huoshan City, this silence seemed very strange in broad daylight, and when the troops were on the way, they could still faintly hear the sound of gunfire, but it was only a while, why did it suddenly stop? Could it be that Zhou Shanjun and them have encountered an accident?

Of course, Liu Wenzhi didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to accept it, no matter what happened inside, he had to make trouble in Huoshan County today.

If it were other national army units, with the strength of only two companies, they dared to attack the county town with Japanese troops and puppet army garrisons, and the fortifications were quite strong, they would definitely be laughed at. However, now outside Huoshan City is Sun Yumin's troops, although it is not a unit trained by Sun Yumin himself, but it is brought out by his most valued subordinates, and the combat effectiveness is naturally strong, plus Liu Wenzhi is willing to spend money on equipment in the past two years, so that the nearly two regiments under his command are actually more powerful than other divisions, which is also the reason why Ou Shounian is not very relieved to let the 176th Division come to "clean up".

But just when the troops set up mortars and prepared to attack the city, Wang Yanru appeared. She was holding her daughter, accompanied by a coolie dressed as a puppet army, and of course, behind the puppet army, there were two soldiers of the second company pointing guns.

"Brother Wen Zhi?" When Wang Yanru saw her relatives, she couldn't help crying with joy.

"Yanru, it's okay if you're okay, I'm worried about us to death, if I don't save you back, your sister Gu will definitely eat me." Liu Wenzhi comforted her, made a small joke, and took over the little girl in Wang Yanru's hand, after going to Hunan on the ninth day of the first month, this little guy has always been the treasure in the hands of him and Gu Hongying.

"I'm fine, I was able to come back safe and sound this time, thanks to this comrade of the New Fourth Army and this brother who has never known him in his life." Wang Yanru wanted to introduce them, but she didn't realize until now that she didn't know their names.

Her embarrassment was seen by the "puppet army", he took a step forward, saluted Liu Wenzhi, and said: "Sir Liu, I am an intelligence officer of the New Fourth Army hidden in Huoshan City, and I am fortunate to have been to Biandanshi, so I know this girl and you." ”

"It turned out to be a comrade of the New Fourth Army, and it was my own person, and it was really thanks to you that I ensured the safety of my younger brother and sister. I don't know what to call you yet, but when I see Commander Xu, I want to thank you very much. Liu Wenzhi stretched out his hand, he is not a person with any official arrogance.

"Since Chief Liu said that he is his own person, then don't be so polite, his surname is Chen, and he is an ordinary intelligence officer of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army." He was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Liu Wenzhi more affirmative and appreciative.

"This brother is also your man, and I thank you as well." Liu Wenzhi thought that the coolie was also an intelligence officer of the New Fourth Army, and stretched out his hand to him.

Unexpectedly, not only did they not shake hands, but they took two steps back and hid behind Wang Yanru.

"Brother Wen Zhi, he is not the New Fourth Army, but he is also my benefactor." After Wang Yanru said this, she turned to the coolie and said, "Don't be afraid, here are my mother's family, we are safe." ”

Liu Wenzhi didn't know the inside story, but he saw that Wang Yanru cared about him so much, so he didn't care about it anymore.

"Comrade Chen, we should have two more people, why haven't we seen them come back?" Liu Wenzhi had long wanted to ask about the whereabouts of Zhou Shanjun and the hunchbacked Uncle Wang, but he didn't have time to ask.

"Chief Liu, don't worry, as far as I know, your two brothers are masters, it is difficult for devils to hurt them, and our people are already going to help and support them, and now there are no guns in the city, which is enough to show that they have also escaped."

"That's right, this brother is right, those soft-footed shrimp devils in Huoshan City want to hurt us, it's really a fool's dream." Zhou Shanjun's voice sounded not far away, and his return made the soldiers all the way excited. Although Zhou Shanjun has made few shots in the past two years, who of the soldiers of Yangshupu and Biandanshi does not know that he is the leading soldier king of the entire Twelfth Army.

Accompanying him back was the hunchbacked Uncle Wang, who was different from Zhou Shanjun's radiant looks, what he cared about was Wang Yanru, and the little girl who was sleeping on Liu Wenzhi's shoulder.

"Deputy Commander, Chief Zhou, they're all back? Do we want to attack the city? The company commander asked stupidly.

"Of course, we have to bombard him a few times before leaving, the brothers have been driving for two or three hours, and they can't run in vain, so that the devil knows that we poplar trees and flat stones are not so easy to mess with!" Liu Wenzhi's current style already has a bit of the combination of Sun Yumin and Gu Hongying's personalities.
