After learning the news of Yang Kezhi and Cao Yufu's defection, Sun Yumin was both shocked and worried.

Lu Man was transferred from above to serve as the vice chairman of the military and political affairs of the four detachments, although this incident happened before she took office, but at this juncture, no matter what, it has a great impact on her.

"Don't spread this matter first, as if we don't know, we can't let your sister-in-law know about it anyway."

Sun Yumin's first reaction was to block the news within the Yangshupu area, with his understanding of Lu Man, once she learned about the situation, she would immediately run to the headquarters of the four detachments to report.

Originally, if it weren't for the fact that Mark sent people and ships to send him, Lu Man would not have been able to reach Dabie Mountain at such a fast speed, let alone get involved in the ugly matter of the Seventh Regiment. After a little longer, let her go to the four detachments, whether it is to work for her, to get along with people, or even to explain to the above, it is far better than the present and the past.

"How did Yang Kezhi get to this point?" Liu Wenzhi was also lamenting, he said: "Although the New Fourth Army and the 48th Army both belong to the same battle sequence of the National Army, this kind of defection is too bad in nature, and the impact within the four detachments must be great, and the high commander will also be to blame." ”

Sun Yumin cast an approving glance at this old subordinate, and saw the subsequent impact of the matter at a glance. If it weren't for the fear of shocking them, Sun Yumin would have wanted to tell them that Gao Jingting would be killed by mistake soon.

"That's the family matter of the four detachments, it's not our turn to worry about it, you must remember for me, for this matter, you must keep your mouth shut, don't mix the volunteer group and the seventh regiment together."

Sun Yumin reminded Liu Wenzhi and Deng Dongping again.

"Okay, Boss. We know what to do. ”

Liu Wenzhi replied.

"Then when I went out, I deliberately asked you to draw a clear line with the Seventh Regiment and the Fourth Detachment, did you do it?"

"Yes, boss." Deng Dongping responded: "Commander Yang once came to Yangshupu to us, but he was pushed back by the sentry, and the guard from Commander Gao also came, and he was not allowed to enter the village. ”

"What are they coming for? Didn't you know I wasn't there? ”

Sun Yumin asked suspiciously.

Yang Kezhi didn't know what he was here for, but looking at his face, it didn't seem to be a good thing, and he lingered outside the village for a long time before leaving. Now that I think about it, I should have come to ask for help. Liu Wenzhi said: "If I had asked him at that time, maybe he would not have taken this step of no return." ”

Sun Yumin knows the thoughts of this old subordinate too well, he always likes to put responsibility on his body, but now this matter is beyond the scope of his ability, even if Sun Yumin wants to help, it may not have any effect.

"Wenzhi, don't think like that, do what I say. No matter what Yang Kezhi's purpose is, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Sun Yumin could only comfort this old subordinate like this.

"Big brother, I don't mean anything else, I just respect him for being a good fighter and a man who dares to fight with devils, and I think it's a pity." Liu Wenzhi explained, and then he said: "Big brother, I'm wondering, Yang Kezhi came here at that time, did he want to take refuge with us, and after being rejected, he would take the risk and go to Wei Yunsong?" ”

One sentence woke up the person in the dream, Sun Yumin always wanted not to get involved in the internal affairs of the New Fourth Army, and the idea of protecting himself was right, but he always held the idea of not participating, not breaking the established history, and not letting the wheel of history deviate.

Yes, he may have come to ask for help from himself, knowing that he was not here, and he came to ask for help, he must have encountered a great difficulty, if he didn't give Liu Wenzhi such an order to draw a clear line with the Seventh Regiment and the Fourth Detachment at that time, Yang Kezhi really might not have gone to a dead end.

Yang Kezhi's matter is already like this, and it is useless to think about it again, Sun Yumin was a little annoyed, but he did not blame himself too much, after all, he is not a god, and everything cannot be perfect.

"Is there something wrong with the High Commander sending his guards?"

Yang Kezhi didn't do his best, Gao Jingting is here, Sun Yumin plans to help.

"Xiao Wan came to deliver the letter, and according to your instructions, I didn't let him enter the village."

Sun Yumin heard the dissatisfaction in Liu Wenzhi's heart, and he also knew that his order made him, including the brothers who stayed at home, very incomprehensible, but at that time, what else could he do besides this arrangement.

"What does the letter say?"

Sun Yumin didn't care about Liu Wenzhi's attitude, but just asked Gao Jingting the purpose of sending someone to deliver the letter.

"Commander Gao wants us to send a few people to teach them how to use grenadiers and mortars, probably in Xiaohongshan saw the power of our gunners, plus they also captured some small cannons, so there is this request."

Liu Wenzhi said.

"And how did you reply?"

Sun Yumin actually knew that this old subordinate would definitely say that he couldn't be the master, and this matter needed to wait for him to come back to make a decision, but he wanted to ask, because he wanted to hear Liu Wenzhi's attitude towards this matter.

"I didn't reply to him, I just asked someone to tell Xiao Wan, saying that I can't be the master, and these things will be talked about when you come back."

Liu Wenzhi's answer was exactly the same as Sun Yumin's thoughts.

"Got it right." Sun Yumin said: "The four detachments are the main force of the New Fourth Army, how can there be a lack of artillery? Although I can't think of the reason for his action for a while, he definitely has the intention of testing you or our volunteers. ”

He deliberately said this to reduce the guilt in Liu Wenzhi's heart. In fact, Sun Yumin knew very well that Gao Jingting's purpose was as simple as he said in his letter, he just wanted to ask someone to send someone over there to coach him, and he would never have other complicated ideas.

"What if the High Commander learns that you are back and sends someone to invite you? To send or not to send? ”

"He doesn't have this mind now, the main regiment commander and political commissar defected, this is not child's play, it is a big deal for him to the four detachments, Gao Jingting is too late to extinguish the fire now, how can he take care of other things."

After Sun Yumin said this, he went on to say to Liu Wenzhi and Deng Dongping: "Regarding the matter over there, we will discuss this, and now you should talk to me about the family matter." ”

After changing the topic, Liu Wenzhi and Deng Dongping suddenly relaxed, especially Deng Dongping, who also showed a smug expression on his face and said, "Boss, during your absence, our team has grown again. ”

"How?" Sun Yumin was suspicious, the reality and the source of soldiers were in front of him, and he couldn't think of how the team would grow.

"That king is rich, do you remember?"

"Just the puppet army squadron leader who Huo Shan fought with the devil, Wang Degui's son."

Sun Yumin had a deep impression of this person, and had a preliminary understanding of this person from Zhou Shanjun's mouth, and later when he beat Huoshan, he learned that he was angry at the crown and became a red face, and immediately changed his opinion of him, and finally didn't hate him as much as before, but he still didn't accept him as a member of the Yangshupu Volunteer Corps, and just gave him a supernumerary place.

"He was very hard-working and angry, and at first he was almost helpless, and now many new fighters are far from catching up with him."

Deng Dongping's eyes were full of appreciation.

"Does this have anything to do with the growth of the team?"

Sun Yumin didn't understand that he blamed Wang Youcai for the matter, and then praised a few words, what could it have to do with his previous question.

"Of course there is, I don't know what method he used, after you left, there were puppet soldiers he summoned one after another to vote, the most exaggerated thing is that there was a squad of puppet soldiers with weapons, which was really much beyond our expectations."

"After I leave, how many people will vote?" Sun Yumin did not feel as happy as he imagined, on the contrary, his brows furrowed, as if he was worried.

"No less than four or five hundred." Deng Dongping said: "Now we have 1,34 recruits on hand who are strengthening the intensive training, and Wen Bin and I are completely busy. ”

"Then don't we have more than 2,000 people on hand now?"

Sun Yumin silently calculated, and this number made his worries a little better.

"Didn't I ask you to invite Sister Gu and Huang Wei to be your deputies, how about it? How is their transformation going? ”

In fact, Sun Yumin also knows very well that it is a little unreasonable for so many soldiers and such a huge and complicated work to be pressed on the two of them, but he has no political work cadre, and there is really no other way than to put this burden on them. Therefore, Sun Yumin did not have great hopes, but just looked forward to being able to pinch these people together and form a battle first before making other plans.

"I think the effect is okay, but Wen Zhi is not particularly satisfied, they should come to report to you tomorrow." Deng Dongping replied to them, and then said: "Sister Gu is tired enough during this time, not only do you have to worry about these recruits, but also have to take care of the flat stone, and the most important thing is that you have to take Chu Jiu at night, after Miss Chen and Miss Yuying go out with you, only Sister Gu can take this little guy at night." ”

When he said this, Liu Wenzhi suddenly laughed out loud, and after realizing the gaffe, he was busy explaining: "I'm laughing at Chu Jiu, so sticky that Sister Gu doesn't have a temper at all." ”

"The transformation work is huge, and it will be counterproductive if it is not handled properly, although we now have two thousand men, but I don't dare to bring them all to the battlefield."

Sun Yumin didn't care how far-fetched Liu Wenzhi's explanation was, and only thought about how to complete this huge workload.

"Maybe I can help you with this."

Lu Man's voice suddenly appeared at the door, Sun Yumin looked up, and saw Lu Man holding Chu Jiu and walking in accompanied by Chen Lai and the little girl.

"Junior nine, my daughter, let Daddy come and hug you."

Sun Yumin was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly, and reached out to hug him.

The little guy who was in Lu Man's arms, who was still laughing and chattering with the little girl who was teasing her, immediately abandoned Xiao Yuying when he heard Sun Yumin's voice, turned his head to look at the sound, and when she saw Sun Yumin, her two little hands immediately raised up, this is a move to ask Sun Yumin to hug.

Seeing Sun Yumin in his arms like a treasure, that expression of love and pity, and that love from the heart, Lu Man's heart suddenly swelled with sadness. If he and he also have children, will he love him so much?

"Xiao Man, you just said that you have a way to help me, what way? Help me with what? Although Sun Yumin was playing with Chu Jiu, he did not snub Lu Man and them.

"Didn't you just talk about converting the captives? I have a way to help you. ”

Lu Man said it directly, she didn't hide anything because of her identity.

"Really? That's great. ”

Sun Yumin knew that what she said was true. Since the time of the Red Army, the GCD people have done a very good job in this regard. fight local tyrants and divide the land; punish bullies and open granaries; Remembering the bittersweet memories and showing up to say...... and a series of other measures, so that the soldiers have become revolutionary fighters with steely hearts, and they have all become strong warriors. This is also one of the reasons why in ten encirclement and suppression, Lao Chiang mobilized a total of millions of troops, but failed to put the Red Army to death.

Sun Yumin also thought about borrowing these methods of the Red Army to transform these soldiers who surrendered, but he didn't know how to start, and now Lu Man can come forward and help him solve this problem, which is really unwanted.

After resting for two days, Lu Man began to prepare for the transformation work, in order to facilitate her work, Sun Yumin sent the little girl, Xiaoshanzi, half-devil and stupid bear to her as helpers, and the four of them all followed all the way from Nanjing, and they knew their relationship with her very well, so they would naturally try their best to help her.

Soon, Yangshupu began a vigorous grievance campaign, not only among the recruits, but also in the 123rd Company, as well as Yangshupu and Biandanshi and 11 small villages, all of which were arranged by Lu Man to participate together.

Although Lu Man is a little woman, she works day and night, but the effect of the work makes Sun Yumin dumbfounded, the original team of recruits who were loose and did not have much spirit and spirit soon seemed to have changed a group of people, not only the state was flying fast, but even the effect of training was obviously much better than before.

Sun Yumin now finally understands the importance of political work in the army, and for example, this seemingly unremarkable grievance movement has allowed several persecuted soldiers to come to the stage to talk about their personal experiences; Let a few refugees who fled tell about the encounters along the way, and then Lu Man poured some oil on the fire and told some devils about the evil deeds of the devil's anger and resentment, and the morale of the recruits was quickly stimulated.

Sun Yumin organized a sound at this time, and even gave some condolences to the homes of the recruits who lived nearby, and after these things came back, these recruits strengthened their will to follow Sun Yumin.

The things that originally gave Sun Yumin a headache were easily resolved by Lu Man.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was early May, the first stage of the grievance campaign had been completed, and after Lu Man arranged the next stage of the Sitian movement, she found Sun Yumin.

"Don't you want to stay any longer? If you leave, the ninth day of junior high school may not be adaptable. ”

Lu Man came to resign, stayed in Yangshupu for more than half a month, and never reported to the fourth detachment, which made her very uneasy, after all, the superior arranged for her to work in the fourth detachment.

"I'll come to see her often, I've heard that the headquarters of the four detachments is not too far away."

Lu Man said lightly, she has been very busy these days, she has not thought about anything else, but she has always felt that something is wrong, and it was not until yesterday that she suddenly realized that Yang Shupu, who has a good relationship with the New Fourth Army, has zero intersection between the two sides during this time, which is too unusual.
