In the attic of Qixiang Study, Wei Yan was waiting for someone. Lao Chen entered the house with Magnolia, and Wei Yan greeted him and said, "Welcome!" Welcome! Comrade Magnolia. Lao Chen hurriedly introduced: "This is our Secretary Yan." Bai Yulan hurriedly took two steps forward and said excitedly: "Secretary Yan, I finally saw you!" The two shook hands, and Wei Yan gave up his seat and poured a cup of tea for Yulan. Yulan continued: "When I used to work in the city, I only saw the traffic officer in the vegetable market, and occasionally I could see Lao Chen once or twice, but I never saw you. Wei Yan smiled: "Do you really want to see me as a secretary?" ”

"Of course! Who doesn't want to see their secretary? Wei Yan said: "This is determined by the nature of the underground party, when you want to see it, you may not be able to see it, but when you don't expect it, you see it." This time the organization transferred you from the guerrilla zone is, first, the needs of the development of the situation, the revolutionary struggle in the city is imminent, and there is an urgent need to strengthen the ranks; Second, our underground party needs comrades like you, who have both underground and guerrilla zone combat experience, to participate, and this will be of great help to the development of the current urban struggle. Your task is to cooperate with my work, mainly responsible for the liaison work of the underground party in Chengbei District, and Lao Chen is in charge of Chengnan District. In this way, you and Lao Chen are the right-hand men of the underground party in Dragon City, to be precise, the two of you are my right-hand men. Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Clerk. Magnolia stood up excitedly and gave a dignified military salute. Wei Yan waved his hands happily and said in a loud voice: "Sit, sit, sit, I haven't seen a military salute for a long time." Yulan couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that you have also led soldiers and fought in battles, secretary?" As soon as the words came out. Magnolia felt a little abrupt.

"Isn't it like?" Wei Yan stood up, straightened his robe, and stood up straight. Magnolia pursed her lips and smiled. Lao Chen was also full of smiles, and Yulan said, "Where is this commander who has fought a war?" It's clear that he is a real bookstore owner! Wei Yan waved his robe with both hands, sat back on his seat, and laughed at himself: "Isn't it like that? It's not like that! If I had, I would have been arrested by those dog spies, and it seems that I would better be the owner of a bookstore! Lao Chen took over the words on the side: "Yulan! Secretary Yan has led soldiers and fought battles. That's true. During the anti-Japanese period, he and Mo Yun participated in the anti-Japanese advance team in Nanliang County and killed many Japanese soldiers. Afterward. I also worked in your second brigade and was your predecessor's brigade leader. ”

"Ahh Or the former leader of our second brigade? No wonder once, I asked the captain Hou Liang who the former leader of the brigade was. He doesn't tell whether he lives or dies. Wei Yan said with a very nostalgic expression: "What Lao Chen said is not false at all. Your captain Hou Liang is still my soldier! Yulan was in awe and said, "I didn't expect you, secretary, to be not only the old-timers of our underground party, but also the old-timers of our second brigade!" I will definitely learn from you and be competent for my new position. Wei Yan's face became serious: "Yulan, the focus of your next step is to strengthen the guidance of the activities of the underground party organization in Chengbei District and carry out work that is compatible with the development of the situation. ”

"Yes!"

After Huang Ou retreated to the county seat, he was scolded by Jiang Ren, the commissioner of the Public Office.

"Incompetence! Eater! You have betrayed the trust that the party-state has placed in you. Jiang Ren pointed to Huang Ou's nose bone. Said angrily.

"Commissioner, stop your anger. Anger is relieved. The responsibility for the failure of this encirclement and suppression lies with me Huang, because the contemptible people have indeed never fought, and they are not very good at using soldiers. However, you can't blame me entirely, look at the two martial artists of the Xicheng County Self-Defense Corps, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, who listens to my command! In addition, those 'local communists' are quite tough, they are really not afraid of death, and I can't help it......" Huang Ou said with a bitter face, pretending to be aggrieved.

"! Defeat is defeat, you still pretend to be pitiful? How powerful is the 'Turkish Communist Party'? Besides, Lao Tzu killed you, get out! Get out of here! Jiang Ren couldn't get angry, slapped the table, and said angrily.

Huang Ou was really angry when he saw Jiang Ren, and he didn't leave? Wait for death! Hurriedly quit the office of the Commissioner of the Commissioner, and hide first to avoid Jiang Ren's evil anger.

Since the failure of this enemy offensive, the morale of the commanders and fighters and the masses in the guerrilla zones has been greatly boosted, and their revolutionary enthusiasm has been high. Mo Yun decided to take advantage of the situation to push the struggle further into the enemy-occupied areas in order to meet the needs of the development of the situation. Then he ordered the Tanliang guerrilla brigade to attack the first battalion of the security regiment that had been stranded in Liangyou Town after the clearance. and personally led a squadron to Liangyou to fight together. A tentative battle, from defense to offense, has begun!

Hou Liang led the Tanliang Brigade out of Damiao Mountain and approached Tanliang Town. In Tanliang Town, except for a dozen or so members of the Self-Defense Forces, there were no heavy troops to guard it, and the enemy's main force retreated to Liangyou Town, a major transportation route, and there was no time to take care of Tanliang. In the face of the Tanliang Brigade, which had returned to the guerrilla zone, the puppet government of Tanliang Township had become a frightened bird, and it was impossible to live in fear. In the end, under strong pressure, Lai Sheng, the head of the township, Wang Fu, the captain of the Self-Defense Forces, and Wei Yinlai, the deputy captain, had to abandon their hometown and flee to Xicheng County. The head of Tanliang Township was replaced by Deputy Township Mayor Su Mingli. Su Mingli himself is a member of the underground party organization, and seeing this situation, Hou Liang believes that Tanliang Town is in his own hands. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to drive the team into Tanliang Town, but chose a place relatively close to Liangyou Town to camp in order to launch an attack on Liangyou Town. After thinking about it, it was decided that it was most appropriate to station the troops in Qin Jiawang. Soon, the troops entered Qin Jiawang.

When the troops arrived at Qin Jiawang, Xiangmei was happy and invited Su Cheng to find the captain Hou Liang together.

"Seeing how happy you two looked, what good things happened?" Hou Liang asked with a smile.

"Our team is fighting back, captain, you say, I'm not the only one who is happy, right?" Xiangmei said playfully.

"Ghost girl! I think that's what makes you the happiest. The osmanthus on the side said with a smile.

"Sister Osmanthus, why do you say that?" Xiangmei pouted.

"Isn't it? Look at what this place is, this is your home! Do you want to take a leave of absence to go home and have a look? "Osmanthus chats about pots.

"I wondered, can the brigade headquarters stay in my house?"

"Ghost girl! That's good, there is a person who doesn't have to come to ask for leave all the time to go home. Osmanthus teased her again.

"Sister Osmanthus! Why do you talk about me like this, am I Xiangmei the kind of person who stays at home and doesn't come out? Xiangmei stomped her foot pretending to be angry and wrapped her hand around her braids.

"Good, good! I didn't talk about you, I didn't talk about you, and when I saw your stupid look, I laughed so much that my stomach hurt (Moment. Osmanthus pursed her lips and smiled, and everyone laughed too.

"Good! Live in your home. However, I wonder if your father welcomes us? Hou Liang said.

"Welcome! Definitely welcome! Although our family is not from a good background, my father is a very enlightened person. Xiangmei said very seriously.

"Oh well! You go back and talk to your Abba first, and then reply to me. ”

"Yes!" Xiangmei took Su Cheng's hand and ran towards the Qin family with a jump.

For the Qin family, Su Cheng is very familiar. When I was a child, I not only came here to play, but also herded cattle at my uncle's house, and when I grew up, I started to do family work, so I didn't come here much. Today's Qin family is still so magnificent, maybe because people have grown up, everything in the Qin family seems to have become much smaller than in the past.

"Miss is back!" The family had already heard that there were guerrillas in the village, and the yard was on guard, and they all looked very nervous, and when they saw the young lady leading a young man who was wearing a big cap of the national army and no cockade, dressed like a guerrilla, and with a box gun stuck in his waist, he walked into the yard and did not dare to ask more, and led them to see the master.

"Abba! I am back! As soon as Xiangmei entered the door, she rushed towards Abba, and suddenly threw herself into Qin Zhihao's arms, "Do you miss me, Abba?" ”

"Why don't you want to? Girl! Qin Zhihao gently patted his daughter's back with his hand.

"And what do you think?" Xiangmei said coquettishly.

"What do you think? It's not about thinking about it every day, it's about it all the time. Qin Zhihao felt that this time his daughter came back, compared with the last time, the mood was obviously different, and she returned to her previous innocent and romantic temperament, and was more happy and sweet. It seems that it is not just because of the excitement that the guerrillas are fighting back. He recovered from the joy of seeing his daughter, and saw a person standing behind her, and judging by the person's dress, he was a guerrilla. Qin Zhihao let go of Xiangmei, stepped forward, and said politely: "This little brother, must be in Xiangmei's team?" Thank you for taking care of her! ”

"Uncle! Don't you recognize me? I'm Su Cheng! ”

"Su Cheng? Are you Su Cheng? Qin Zhihao was a little surprised and surprised, this is the poor boy Su Cheng in the past? The majestic young man in front of him, wearing a big cap and a box gun pinned to his waist, couldn't recognize it compared to the hairy child who was still wiping his nose back then.

Xiangmei stepped forward, grabbed Su Cheng's arm, and proudly said to Abba, "He is my cousin Su Cheng!" He is now a squad leader in our guerrilla brigade. Su Cheng saw that in front of his uncle, Xiangmei held her arm, embarrassed, and wanted to break free, but Xiangmei just grabbed it tightly. Qin Zhihao saw their affectionate appearance, and understood everything in his heart. Last time, in order to find out why his daughter became like a walking corpse, so that he could prescribe the right medicine and persuade her, he sent someone to find out that the reason for his daughter's emotional change was not only because the guerrillas were hit hard, but the most important point was that his cousin Su Cheng, who was in love with his daughter, was killed by the people of the security group, which was a huge blow to his daughter. Now, Su Cheng is not dead, which is why his daughter is so happy and happy. Regarding the relationship between his daughter and Su Cheng, in the past, due to his young age, he thought that he was joking, and he didn't take it to heart, but now that the relationship has developed to this point, as a father, he has to ask about it.
