Yan'an is the rear base camp of the party and government organs of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army will naturally not let go of the infiltration here. Even if the counter-espionage work of the Eighth Route Army is in place, it cannot prevent the spies sent by the little devils from lurking in it.

The elimination plan planned by Taro Miyamoto also quickly received a corresponding intelligence reply. The first thing that made the Japanese army the happiest was undoubtedly the Zhongyan Army, which lodged serious protests and representations against the Eighth Route Army.

Perhaps it was the recent series of battles fought by the task force in Zaozhuang that made the Zhong Yan army feel great pressure, so that the attitude of the Zhong Yan army was also very tough, and I hoped that the Eighth Route Army could give the Zhong Yan army an explanation.

Hand over Zhao Tiehu or deal with Zhao Tiehu, no matter what kind of thing is for Zhong Yanjun, they are happy to see it. On the Japanese side, when the elimination plan was launched, it also secretly transferred troops from Jiangsu to prepare for a new round of encirclement and suppression operations.

With the railway line about to be repaired, the Japanese army felt that in order to ensure the safety of the railway line, it was very necessary to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese armed forces entrenched in Zaozhuang. Otherwise, the railway will be blown up sooner or later.

If such a situation occurs again, I am afraid that the little devils will also feel that the frequent repair of the railway consumes too much manpower and material resources. For this reason, only by clearing out the Eighth Route Army operating in Zaozhuang can we truly ensure the stability of Zaozhuang.

Soon after Zhao Tiehu received the political trial, the Japanese army's special high department received information from the spy agents lurking in Yan'an. Taro Miyamoto, who received the news, said with a little surprise: "He actually returned to Yan'an!" ”

Regarding Zhao Tiehu's whereabouts, although the Japanese army made great efforts to investigate, they did not gain much in the end. It was only when he learned that Zhao Tiehu was being held for trial, and Taro Miyamoto suddenly felt that this was the best time.

Soon came to the garrison headquarters and said, "General, I think now is the best time to start the encirclement and suppression. According to the information we learned earlier, Zhao Tiehu has a very high prestige among the anti-Japanese war troops in Zaozhuang.

I think that the news of Zhao Tiehu's arrest and interrogation can be spread before the encirclement and suppression campaign is launched. I believe that this news should cause confusion in the command of the Zaozhuang troops of the Eighth Route Army and create the best fighter plane for us to encircle and suppress. ”

Is the news of this man's arrest confirmed?' ’

'Confirmed! General, this is the news that came back from the hidden pile that we are lurking in Yan'an, it is very reliable! ’

With Miyamoto Taro's confirmation, Major General Kurokawa also said happily: "Yo! Okay, immediately send a telegram to the commander of the village division to start the third encirclement and suppression operation plan. According to the earlier combat deployment, attack from three sides to encircle and suppress these dirt roads! ”

'Hey! ’

While Zhao Tiehu was still temporarily imprisoned, the Japanese army suddenly launched a heavy encirclement and suppression of the three bases where the task force was located. According to Tan Changze's first investigation, the Japanese army gathered as many as 10,000 troops.

Song Dabao, who was temporarily the commander, said with a somewhat serious expression after learning the news: "Can't you contact the detachment leader?" Didn't the detachment leader say before that he would come back after sending the money and reporting for it? Why haven't you come back yet? ”

In the face of Song Dabao's anxiety, Li Chengwu, as the chief of staff of the detachment, also said in a timely manner: "Earlier, we have sent a telegram to the advance column and the first column, informing us of the current predicament, and I believe that the above should soon send the news back."

Although I don't know what happened to the detachment leader in Yan'an, I always feel that something is not normal. The little devil was very honest some time ago, and now he suddenly launched an attack on our base area, there must be some reason.

Never mind! The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, no matter what, the little devil is coming, then we can only fight back. The affairs of the headquarters can only be entrusted to you. Over there, I'm just afraid I'm going back to town. ”

'Okay, then you can go back first!' Be careful on the road, though! ’

The Japanese river defense unit, which was taken by the task force twice in a row, also suddenly assembled a number of ships this time to launch a retaliatory artillery bombardment on the fishing village near Weishan Lake. Even if the Weishanhu guerrillas counterattacked in the process, the effect was not very good.

In order to ensure the safety of the people living in the fishing village, the guerrillas eventually began to evacuate some of the people living near the lake. But even so, the little devil's gunboats shelled wildly, razing the empty village where these people had gone.

What even made the task force feel a little difficult was that the little devil was fighting a joint operation of the river, land and air forces this time. Every day, no less than four little devil reconnaissance planes are constantly reconnoitring and searching back and forth in the skies over Zaozhuang.

After receiving the telegram from the task force, Luo Rong and Zhang Jingshan immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, hoping to let Zhao Tiehu return to command the troops to fight against encirclement and suppression as soon as possible. However, after the telegram was sent, Yan'an did not reply immediately.

The reason is that there seems to be no consensus on the handling of Zhao Tiehu. For such a situation, Chen Wan, who learned the news, was naturally in a hurry. In her opinion, an extra day of delay would be very fatal for the detachment.

Zhao Tiehu, who just learned the news, said with a somewhat cold expression after hearing the situation told by Chen Wan: "Yuanshui can't save Jinhuo, even if I go out now, I'm afraid it's too late, this is a conspiracy against me!"

Earlier, I couldn't understand why the little devils were so generous and willing to pay money to redeem their heads, it turned out that they had already set up such a poisonous plan. It's a little ridiculous that we're really being led by the nose by little devils.

I have to say that the little devil is really good at speculating on people's hearts. Never mind! Or wait for the news above, it's useless to be anxious now. After all, I can't protect myself now, so how can I talk about commanding the troops? ”

After Zhao Tiehu's words came out, the committee members convened a meeting again: "What? Until now, do you still think Comrade Zhao Tiehu has a problem? Do you still want to send another commander to direct the anti-encirclement and suppression operation?

Okay, on this point, then let's come up with a unified opinion today. In view of the results of Comrade Zhao Tiehu's handling, let's also give a conclusion! I couldn't figure out why, but now I do.

As Comrade Zhao Tiehu himself said, we were successfully tricked by the little devil once, and even helped the little devil a lot. Now that the military situation on the front line is in full swing, we are still struggling with the loot and prisoners.

This is a telegram sent by Mr. Zhu earlier, hoping that we will come up with a result as soon as possible. If the Central Committee feels that Comrade Zhao Tiehu is no longer suitable for the post of detachment leader of the task force, then the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee is requested to appoint another person to take over the command.

I don't think I need to emphasize the importance of the task force, right? If we have a force that can be planted there, then we have a nail in the north-south passage. Now the little devil is going to remove this nail, and we will continue to watch? ”

In this matter involving Zhao Tiehu, after Zhao Tiehu figured out that this was everything designed by the little devil, the committee members also asked Director Zhou to launch a counter-investigation. In the opinion of the committee members, this matter is not so simple behind the scenes.

What really worries the committee members is that it is still within Yan'an, but I am afraid that there are also spies who have been bought by the little devils. For this reason, taking advantage of this opportunity, the committee members hope to dig up this lurking person.

As for the protest of the Zhongyi Army, a telegram from the Eighth Route Army sent informing him that the head of the major general was still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. If the army wants it, they will send the arrears of military expenses.

Faced with the situation informed by the Eighth Route Army, the Zhong Yan Army also felt a little dumbfounded. Dare to love to the end, the little devil spent 100,000 oceans to redeem the head of the little devil major general, but it is just an impostor, and the real head is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Then their so-called treason charges against the enemy can't be talked about at all, and naturally it's not good to accuse Zhao Tiehu of anything. In addition, in the face of the Eighth Route Army's harshly worded telegram asking for military expenses, the Zhongyan Army finally remained silent.

The reason is very simple, the head of a little devil major general can only be used for propaganda for them. Now with such a large amount of military expenditure to change heads, I am afraid that the Zhongyan army will not do those wrongs.

Although the Zhong Yan Army still wanted to take the opportunity to knock on the Eighth Route Army, seeing the telegrams of the Eighth Route Army asking for military expenses over and over again, the Zhong Yan Army finally did not say anything more. After all, in this matter, it was indeed Zhong Yanjun who did not do it authentically.

Earlier, when the two armies jointly resisted the war, the supplies and military expenses promised by the Zhongyi Army to the Eighth Route Army were never fulfilled as scheduled. Now, they are assing the position of the leader to accuse the Eighth Route Army, which is morally untenable!

After some debate, Yan'an finally made a decision to give Zhao Tiehu a major demerit and continue to retain his promotion qualifications. But in the next contingent, a commissar will be sent to accompany him.

After five days in the cave, Zhao Tiehu was finally announced that he could leave. Zhao Tiehu, who had been saying that he wanted to protest earlier, seemed very calm when he walked out of the cave. This kind of calm, but many people feel uneasy.

Even the committee members who personally comforted him, telling him that this was just a routine review, so that Zhao Tiehu should not think about it. Zhao Tiehu also said calmly: "Thank you, I know!" It's okay! ”

Such a calm answer made the committee members not know how to answer for a while. When informing the task force that a political commissar would be dispatched, Zhao Tiehu also said calmly: "I obey the organizational arrangement!" ”

When Zhao Tiehu came to the guest house, he looked at the special combat team members who were a little excited, and said calmly: "Prepare to dress, we have to rush back to the base area as soon as possible." Let's go down and prepare! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

Chen Wan, who was staying on the side, said with a little worry: "Detachment leader, are you okay?" ”

'It's okay! I'm fine, the military situation is urgent, let's hurry up and prepare to go back! ’

Before leaving, Zhao Tiehu did not forget to go to see the three elementary schools of the Wang family. It's just that when leaving Yan'an City, Chen Wan and the political commissar sent by the central government saw Zhao Tiehu make a special move.

That is, sitting on the war horse, he saluted Yan'an City behind him. After the ceremony, Zhao Tiehu galloped back to Zaozhuang. It's just that if you rush back now, will everything come in time?
