It was Wang Qiang, who was wearing the uniform of the New Fourth Army, and Zhang Lei and Wang Qiang shook hands warmly at the gate of the academy.

Wang Qiang held Zhang Lei's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Your activities and deeds in this area made me feel excited after hearing about it, and the headquarters decided to let me bring a company over for development." ”

Zhang Lei asked: "What is the current situation of Commander Hu Duguhu?" ”

Wang Qiang said: "The Japanese devils have tried to attack several times, and under the joint attack of our forces, they have suffered heavy losses every time, and now Commander Hu Duguhu has become our rear barrier, and recently little Japan no longer dares to attack." ”

Zhang Lei asked: "After all, our place here is small, where is your development direction?" ”

Wang Qiang said: "To develop in the Suzhou area, we want to establish a base and strengthen our strength. ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Okay!" I support you. You brought me a handwritten letter to visit Regiment Commander Liu Changhou, his current situation is very difficult, I wanted to ask him to move to the Zhenjiang area, but he could not pass through the garrison of Li Jixian's rebels. ”

Wang Qiang asked: "Is Liu Changhou a rout?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said: "A Sichuan army of more than 300 people who lost their way during the Battle of Songhu, I gave him some weapons and gold, and he must be very grateful to me." ”

Wang Qiang asked, "Can I take him in?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said: "He is surrounded by enemies, Li Jixian once had his wife, he has no confidence in the Kuomintang, you go to do his work, I think as long as you give him hope, he will agree." If he refuses, I'll go over and do his work myself. ”

Wang Qiangqiang said happily: "Great, I didn't expect you to be better to our New Fourth Army than to yourself." ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "We are a family, don't talk two words, brother, you are my relative, I am so happy to see you." ”

Wang Qiang and Zhang Lei hugged and touched Zhang Lei's left shoulder, and Zhang Lei screamed "ah".

Wang Qiang looked at Zhang Lei, who was caressing his left shoulder with his right hand, and asked in surprise: "Are you injured?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "I was slightly injured, I was shot, and now I am much better." ”

Wang Qiang whispered: "We are all pinning our heads to the waistband of our trousers and beating Japanese devils!" ”

Zhang Lei said: "I feel that there is a lot of space for you to develop in Suzhou and Shanghai. ”

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "That's what the headquarters means, what about you?" What do you want to do in the future? If you don't mix well in the Kuomintang army, join the New Fourth Army! ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "I am not joining the Kuomintang Army, I am a special task force, which is independent and directly under the leadership of Boss Dai. Boss Dai is not a Kuomintang, he has never joined the Kuomintang in his life, how can my special task force be said to be the army of the Kuomintang? ”

Wang Qiang asked in surprise: "Boss Dai is not the Kuomintang?" ”

Zhang Lei is a modern person and knows a lot about the past history, after all, Wang Qiang is only a member of that era, born in that era, how could he know about Boss Dai's situation?

Zhang Lei couldn't tell Wang Qiang too much, so he could only point to it.

Zhang Lei continued: "I want to contact the Chao Heavenly King, but I can't. ”

Wang Qiang asked, "How do you want to deal with the Chaotian King?" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "I haven't contacted it yet, but the influence of Chao Tianwang is too great, we made such a fierce fuss in Kangqiao Town, the railroad was blown up, and the Japanese puppet army in Kangqiao Town didn't dare to send troops to encircle and suppress it." ”

Wang Qiang said: "Our headquarters has a development plan to cross the river, and the Yangtze River was sealed by Chaotianwang, and the headquarters also wants to contact Chaotianwang, but Chaotianwang not only does not talk to us, but even does not even meet with us." ”

Zhang Lei said: "Chao Tianwang has an agreement with the Japanese, and Chao Tianwang is under the control of Chao Tianwang on the Yangtze River and tidal flats, and the Japanese may have additional conditions not to allow anti-Japanese forces to enter the Yangtze River. ”

Wang Qiang said: "Will Chao Tianwang join Wang's puppet government? ”

Zhang Lei was shocked and said: "There is really such a possibility. As long as the conditions offered to him by Wang's puppet government are suitable, there is no reason why he should not join. ”

In Zhang Lei's room, Zhang Lei called Zhang Yuhe and Xiaohua over, and Zhang Lei said to Wang Qiang: "Do me a favor, let Zhang Yuhe join the Anti-War League, and let Xiaohua join the New Fourth Army." ”

Wang Qiang looked at them and nodded, "Okay!" ”

Xiaohua hugged Zhang Lei's arm and cried: "Captain, what did I do wrong?" Why are you driving me away? ”

Zhang Lei wiped Xiaohua's tears and said with a smile: "The New Fourth Army is all heroes, I want you to join the New Fourth Army and learn nursing, you see that after I was injured, none of us here know how to nurse, I can only rely on myself." ”

Xiaohua asked, "Can I come back after learning?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Of course you are welcome to come back!" ”

Xiaohua smiled and said, "I thought you didn't want me anymore!" ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "You have to use your brains to study hard." ”

Xiaohua nodded again and again and said, "Okay!" ”

Wang Qiang said: "We have a radio station, and I hope that we can communicate through the radio in normal times, cooperate with each other, and fight together to resist the war." ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Let your personnel in charge of the radio station contact my confidential secretary Wang Yueying." ”

After Wang Qiang's people rested in the academy for three days, they took Xiaohua and left.

Since Wang Qiang's company was traveling in the opposite direction to the location of the Shuixi Village headquarters, Zhang Yuhe could not accompany him, so he could only continue to stay with Zhang Lei.

On this day, Zhang Lei's injuries were completely healed, and Zhang Lei and Lynch brought fruit to Chaotianwang Hospital to visit Hu Taohua.

Zhang Lei sat on the edge of the bed, held Hu Taohua's hand, looked at Hu Taohua's eyes, and said with a smile: "I have recovered well, and I will definitely be discharged from the hospital in less than a week." ”

Hu Taohua said: "The Japanese methods are too vicious, they have no humanity, I was almost tortured to death by them, and my life was picked up." ”

Zhang Lei's eyes flashed with tears, and he nodded and said, "Lao Tzu wants blood for blood, and tooth for tooth." ”

Hu Taohua nodded and said, "My intuition tells me that the great enemy Kawashima is not dead. ”

Zhang Lei frowned and said, "Zhang Yuhe hit her in the back of the heart with at least two shots. ”

Hu Taohua said: "It's just my intuition. ”

Zhang Lei said: "Does this Japanese girl have nine lives?" After I found an opportunity to put on makeup, I went to the town of Jikangqiao and asked Wang Ba, he was the captain of the plainclothes team, and he must know whether Kawashima was alive or dead. ”

Zhang Lei saw a figure flashing at the door of the ward, which was very familiar, so he said to Hu Taohua: "I went out to take a look, and I felt that the person who just walked over seemed to know." ”

Zhang Lei was in the corridor and found that Chao Jiang was walking forward with a gift box, and hurriedly caught up.

Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "Who is Brother Chao visiting?" ”

Chao Jiang said: "When the wind on the Yangtze River rose, a brother was entangled in a sail rope and broke his arm. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "I want to invite you to drink a drink, do you appreciate your face?" ”

Chao Jiang smiled and said, "Okay! Come to my house and drink! ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, how about tonight?" ”

Chao Jiang nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Zhang Lei and Lynch came to Chaojiang's house and drank with Chaojiang.

Chao Jiang looked dejected, Zhang Lei patted his chest and said, "Dude, what's wrong?" You seem to have something on your mind! Tell my brother that as long as my brother can help, he will help to the end. ”

Chao Jiang looked at Zhang Lei, shook his head vigorously, took a sip of the wine glass and drank it dry, sighed and said, "Chairman Wang came a few days ago, and Chao Tianwang may accept Chairman Wang's conditions." ”

Zhang Lei was shocked and asked, "What conditions?" ”

Chao Jiang did not know the content of the talks between Wang Jingwei and Chao Tianwang, Chao Jiang said: "The Japanese and the Manchu Qing are the same kind, and we are holding the banner of anti-Qing and Ming restoration, how can we take refuge in the Japanese?" But my uncle is the king of heaven, and he alone has the final say in everything here. ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "Wang Jingwei's slogan of peaceful nation-building curve to save the country is too deceptive, and too many people have joined this puppet government. I didn't expect you to give up your original intentions and become traitors, alas!
