Six people dressed in ordinary people's clothes were escorted by the New Fourth Army at gunpoint and came to Deputy Detachment Leader Fu.

A company commander of the New Fourth Army held a pistol against a man with a letter in his hand and shouted, "What? Siu Yat-fei guerrillas? Who is Siu Yat Fei? ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately remembered that when the headquarters held a meeting, the leaders had praised a young guerrilla captain named Xiao Yifei, saying that he was the pride of the New Fourth Army, saying that he led the team to blow up the Jinniu Railway Bridge, destroy the Jinniu Railway Station Arsenal, blow up the Hushuguan Railway Station, blow up the airport, and go to Qingpu to destroy the Japanese army's arms reserve used to invade Zhejiang. What to say, Xiao Yifei's guerrillas established a guerrilla force of tens of thousands of people in southern Jiangsu and created a world in southern Jiangsu.

Lao Jiang has issued a commendation telegram!

But Xiao Yifei is active along the Yangtze River! How did he get here? There are military commanders in his team, and he is coming, can the military commanders not know? Once the military commander knows, the third theater will know.

Deputy Detachment Commander Fu scolded the company commander, put the gun away, and the company commander inserted the gun into the holster.

Deputy Detachment Commander Fu walked up to the plainclothes of the national army who was holding the letter in his hand and said, "Who are you?" Listen to your accent, not like the people of southern Jiangsu, but like the natives of Anhui. ”

Of course, that person was a local, and he was a disciple of Chen Yugeng, the leader of the Jiangnan Youth Gang.

The man handed the letter to Deputy Detachment Leader Fu and said with a smile: "It's so hard to find you, we are members of the Youth Gang, and Captain Xiao Yifei asked us to look for you in this area." Captain Xiao was afraid that you would not believe us, so he specially wrote a letter. ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu took the letter, illuminated it with a flashlight, and read it carefully.

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu was so excited that he couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, and he actually hugged the Qinggang brother and choked. Deputy Detachment Leader Fu said: "Captain Xiao is here, as soon as Captain Xiao comes, we will be saved." ”

The Qinggang brother said: "Captain Xiao wants you to camp on the spot, he will come over in person tomorrow, he told you not to move forward, the front line of the Shuiyang River has been heavily armed." ”

Late at night, Kuaishou and Shanhu came to the inn to discuss the next work with Xiao Yifei.

Kuaishou said: "The New Fourth Army has been found, and early tomorrow morning, I will send my brother to send steamed buns and water over." ”

Xiao Yifei said: "I will go there tomorrow too." ”

Kuaishou nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over together." ”

Pan Shanhu said: "In the area of Xuancheng, the national army on the Shuiyang River is too densely deployed, and only Sunjiabu has a small number of people, and there are brothers there who run a water transportation business. ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "You go to Sunjiabu to make arrangements first, and after I go to the New Fourth Army tomorrow, I will go to Sunjiabu immediately." ”

The commander of the 52nd Division would never have dreamed that Xiao Yifei and his entourage would contact the New Fourth Army through the Green Gang, and they were making careful arrangements to cross the river. Who are the Green Gang? All of them rely on the money they make from doing evil business, these people are all red-eyed and green-nosed, licking blood at the knife edge to live, and they all walk sideways, and the common people are all hiding far away when they see them, for fear that if they accidentally provoke them, it will lead to the destruction of their families.

The commander of the 52nd Division did not receive a report that Xiao Yifei's guerrillas had arrived, and Xiao Yifei had informed the commander of a company of the 52nd Division of his identity, but the company commander did not reassure Xiao Yifei's guerrillas. At that time, Xiao Yifei told the company commander that he was a member of the military commander's special operations team, and since he was a member of the military commander and was one with the national army, the company commander did not have any vigilance. The people of the military commanders have always been awesome, and if they can not provoke, they will not provoke, and once they are provoked, the regular army of the national army cannot afford the consequences.

Although the 52nd Division sent many patrols, the strategy adopted was to wait for the rabbit.

In their opinion, the Shuiyang River is the only passage for the remnants of the New Fourth Army, and as long as they wait patiently by the river, they will definitely be able to wait for the New Fourth Army. They also judged that the New Fourth Army had run out of ammunition and food, and if it did not cross the river, it would be trapped to death in the deep mountains and dense forests.

After the 52nd Division was stationed on the riverside, all units were on loose alert, and the patrols were only pretending, and they did not extend too far.

From the 52nd Division garrisoning the Shuiyang River, we can see the current situation of the national army, how can such an army compete with the Japanese army? If you touch it, you will be crushed.

First of all, the management is not strict, and secondly, the deployment of the team is not strict, and on the surface, the entire river is blocked, but in fact there are loopholes everywhere. The brothers of the Green Gang found a gap in Sunjiabu, and the third intelligence collection and search ability was too poor, Xiao Yifei reported that he had already gone home, and the commander of the 52nd Division didn't even know that Xiao Yifei was coming. Knowing that the New Fourth Army was coming here, the 52nd Division should also send a team to set up an ambush on the road that the New Fourth Army must pass.

If the New Fourth Army does not exhaust itself and run out of ammunition and food and carry out a surprise attack on the division, the division will be beaten to the point that it will not be able to take care of each other, and the division headquarters will be killed.

That night, the commander of the 52nd Division was at the division headquarters, and he fell asleep on the marching bed with a fire, snoring, and sleeping soundly. In his sleep, his team beat the remnants of the New Fourth Army to the ground, Gu Zhutong patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Good job!" I want to reward you so much! The commander of the 52nd Division smiled, it is not easy to get Gu Zhutong's praise, it seems that the future is immeasurable!

After dawn, the commander of the 52nd Division mounted a tall horse and, escorted by a large number of guards, patrolled the river, inspected the stationing of the troops, and listened to the reports of various departments. Everywhere he went, all the officers of the regiments lined up to welcome him and report to him that the New Fourth Army had not been found.

The commander of the 52nd Division smiled and admonished: "Don't take it lightly, you must step up inspections, and once you find it, immediately launch an attack on the New Fourth Army." ”

At this time, Xiao Yifei was meeting with Deputy Detachment Leader Fu.

Xiao Yifei was wearing the uniform of a colonel of the National Army, and Deputy Detachment Leader Fu was wearing tattered clothes, nibbling on steamed buns and drinking water, while laughing and saying, "I didn't expect you to really come." My big savior didn't bring you steamed buns and water, and we wouldn't even be able to survive today. ”

Xiao Yifei said: "The Shuiyang River is full of officers and soldiers of the 52nd Division, and it is unrealistic for such a large team to cross the river. ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu frowned and asked, "What should I do?" It's hard to bring the team here, but you can't let most of the people return to the deep mountains and old forests, right? In that case, if they don't die in battle, they will starve to death! ”

Xiao Yifei said: "I don't mean that, my idea is that the team must all change into ordinary people's clothes and put away the guns, with the current situation, it is unrealistic to let the team fight, and can only disguise themselves as ordinary people." ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu nodded and said, "Okay!" It's easy to do. ”

Xiao Yifei said: "The team can only cross the river in batches, you must divide the team into groups of about 50 people, and 50 people cross the river at a time, so that the movement is small." ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu nodded and said, "Okay!" Listen to you. But what about the seriously injured? ”

Xiao Yifei breathed a heavy sigh and said, "Find a way to place them in the people's homes!" Only when the situation improves, will I come and pick them up. I just looked at the situation, even if they crossed the Shuiyang River, they would not be able to go to Maoshan. With such a large team, it will take a few days to cross the Shuiyang River to Maoshan! There were no doctors on the road, no medicines. Bringing them with them will only make them hasten their death, stay in the homes of ordinary people, and there will be a glimmer of life. ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu nodded, feeling extremely sad, and whispered, "This can only be the case." What good comrades-in-arms, I can't bear to leave them behind. ”

Xiao Yifei also sighed and said: "Detachment leader, we are not immortals, crossing the Shuiyang River does not mean that we are safe, there is Nanyi Lake in front of us, and we have to cross the lake, the difficulties are still very great, if you can bring out the lightly wounded and soldiers safely, you will make the greatest contribution, and history will remember your achievements." ”

Deputy Detachment Leader Fu nodded and said, "Okay!" Listen to you. We will arrange it immediately and cross the Shuiyang River tonight. ”
