The ceremony began. Mo Yun distributed the food and other gifts that had been prepared by the guerrillas to Lin Yifan, Qin Gang, Qin Zugen, Yang Shaobao and others, and handed them over to the Miao representatives such as Shanshui Gong, wishing the Miao people a prosperous life, food and clothing, and smooth sailing. Brother Miao blew the reeds, and Miao Mei, who was wearing a flower umbrella and wearing colorful clothes, danced a welcome dance around the reed sheng pillar. Shanshui Gong led Mo Yun and his party to sit at the table in the center, and after the guests were seated, the dancing Miao brothers and Miao sisters retreated from the entrance.

"Honorable Commander Mo and all the guerrilla guests: On behalf of the Miao people in Xia Reclamation Miao Village, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you!" Shanshui Gong paused, the Miao people cheered, the reeds blew, Shanshui Gong raised his hands and pressed down, and the grain field suddenly quieted down, "The guerrillas are the brothers of our Miao family, and they are our own team, and the victory of the guerrillas against encirclement and suppression is also the victory of our people and the victory of our Miao family. Now, Commander Mo, please speak to us! "Applause, reeds rang out.

"Fellow villagers and Miao compatriots: Hello! First of all, I would like to express a few thanks. The first is to thank the Miao master Shanshui Gong for his kind invitation and the warm hospitality of the Miao compatriots; Second, we are grateful to the Miao compatriots for their strong support to the guerrillas in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, and it is precisely because of the support of the common people that our guerrillas were able to win this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. Third, I would like to thank you for cooperating with the guerrilla 'snake fighting team' last time to stage a good show of 'burning down the walled building'. The Miao compatriots who made great sacrifices for the total annihilation of the Kuomintang special action team! Speaking of this, Mo Yun turned his head and asked Yang Shaobao: "The walled building that was burned down." Is it rebuilt? Before Yang Shaobao could reply, Shanshui Gong said gratefully: "It's built!" It's built! What kind of action team, the day after it was wiped out, Squadron Leader Yang brought a lot of people to rebuild it, and it was better and more beautiful than before! Thank you, comrades! Mo Yun smiled: "Ouch! It's our guerrillas who have caused you trouble, and we should thank you! After speaking, Mo Yun continued to the crowd: "To show gratitude. On behalf of the guerrillas, I, Mo Yun, salute all the Miao compatriots. After speaking, he saluted the Miao people, "Secondly." I want to tell you the good news, just two days ago, the People's Liberation Army in the southeast has liberated Guangzhou. The People's Liberation Army to the north. It is already approaching Guangxi. In this way, the liberation of Guangxi is not far away. Therefore, our guerrillas cannot wait for liberation and must take the initiative to attack the periphery. ”

"Wow...... everyone cheered and excited, as if they were going to be liberated tomorrow.

Mo Yun picked up a bowl of wine and said loudly, "Come on!" Fellow citizens! Pick up your wine bowl and pour the Miao family's wine. For the sake of national unity, for the sake of friendship between us. Cheers to our victory! Mo Yun took the lead in drinking a bowl of Miao family's glutinous rice wine in one go, and then turned the bowl upside down and raised it high above his head to show that the wine was dry. The Miao family is bold and does not like to drag mud and water, and when they saw the commander so bold and resolute, they were very happy and admired, and shouted in unison: "Cheers!" They all raised their bowls and drank them all.

Then, the feast began. Mo Yun and Shanshui bus cups changed lamps and talked happily. At this time, a Miao mother-in-law led a beautiful Miao sister to Commander Mo's table, Mo Yun quickly stood up, and looked at it with his eyes, the Miao family's mother-in-law looked witty, and Miao Mei stood beside her mother-in-law with a wine glass in her hand and a shy face. The mother-in-law opened her mouth and shouted: "Brother Commander! It's rare for you to come to Miao Village, as soon as you arrive at Miao's house, thank you, just like the 'mountain god' to send hope, your sincerity we lead the mile, although Miao Po wants to pay respect, bring a beautiful girl to help me salute, this glass of wine you want to drink, don't drink sad beauty Guan Hello, oops! Oops! Shanshui Gong handed Mo Yun a glass of wine, and after the Miao family's mother-in-law finished singing, Miao Mei stepped forward with a wine glass, and shyly exchanged a glass of wine with Mo Yun. Then, everyone began to pull their ears at each other and toast, Shanshui Gong and Lin Yifan, Qin Gang, Qin Zugen, and Yang Shaobao pulled their ears to toast one by one.

This is the traditional Miao family's custom of "shouting wine" and "pulling ears" to toast. It is not only an invitation, but also a way to increase friendship, and it is very popular in Miao Village.

When the banquet was near the end, a group of Miao brothers and Miao sisters dressed in festive costumes poured into the center of the grain field from the entrance, surrounding the reed sheng pillar, and the inner circle was Miao Brother blowing the reeds while dancing, and the outside circle was Miao Brother and Miao Sister holding hands, holding the reeds, dancing the Miao people's "stepping on the hall dance". Jumping and jumping, holding hands Miao brother and Miao sister, suddenly, let go of their hands, scattered around, each invited a guest to play, Mo Yun, Lin Yifan, Qin Gang, Qin Zugen, Yang Shaobao were all invited, holding the reeds, and dancing hand in hand "stepping on the hall dance", the surrounding crowd followed the reeds, and joined hands to cheer up. The person who blows the reed sheng blows with sound and color, and taste; Those who hold hands and dance are dancing happily and happily; Watching the lively people, they are interested and happy. The atmosphere was extremely lively and harmonious, which pushed the celebration to a climax. Exactly: the military and the people are united as a family, try to see who can be the enemy in the world!

After the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression operation, the Longbei District Working Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting in a timely manner, and after analyzing the situation, it held that the enemy's strength in the Longbei area had been greatly weakened after several failures in encirclement and suppression, and in addition to the strong psychological pressure of the People's Liberation Army approaching Guangxi, the enemy had reached the point where the grass and trees were all soldiers and could not live in fear, and it was time for our guerrillas to attack on the outer front. Considering that Xicheng County is relatively far away from Longcheng, the enemy's strength is relatively weak, and the People's Liberation Army is most likely to descend from the northwest to Longcheng, in order to welcome the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, it is very necessary to liberate the villages and towns around Xicheng County. Then, according to the progress, cut off the communication arteries of Dadeng in the north of Dragon City in a timely manner, so that the enemies on all sides are in a state of isolation and helplessness, so that they can be easily broken down. As a result, the Guiqian Border Guerrilla Corps was renamed the Longbei People's Liberation Corps, and in mid-October, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd squadrons of the Leyuan Guerrilla Brigade were dispatched to the vicinity of Xicheng County. After more than ten days of fierce fighting. After liberating the three townships of Longtou, Huangji, and Shimen, the county magistrate Liang Qingqiu, the chief captain of the Self-Defense Corps, Wei Jiade, and the deputy chief captain Xia Ting, led the remnants of the defeated army and fled back to the county seat in a hurry. Since then, he has shrunk in the county seat and has not dared to act rashly.

Mo Yun, Lin Yifan, Xie Weijie, and Qin Gang were discussing the key points of the next struggle in the room. Everyone had differences on the question of whether to attack the county seat of Xicheng. One opinion is that the county seat of Xicheng is close at hand, and the establishment of Xicheng County will be very beneficial to the situation in our guerrilla base areas, which will not only greatly shake the prestige but also effectively boost the confidence of the masses. Moreover, it can dismantle the reactionary rule of the surrounding enemy, which is a good choice; Another suggestion is to expand the base area in the direction of Longcheng to lay the foundation for the liberation of Longcheng in the future. Mo Yun finally summed up and said: "Comrades! Everyone's analysis and judgment of the situation are very reasonable. In my opinion, the first option is good, but there is still a certain gap between us and our current situation. One, we just captured three townships. The foothold is not stable. Moreover, the enemy's strength in the county town is still very strong, and this will cause great losses to our guerrillas, which of course does not conform to the consistent style of our guerrillas, that is, the conditions for attacking the county town are not yet ripe. The second suggestion. I look good! The forces of the guerrillas are constantly approaching the enemy's center of gravity, and then. According to the needs of the situation, you can take it when you want. Mo Yun said, slamming his fist lightly on the table, with a look of victory on his face, everyone nodded in agreement, "Since everyone has no opinion, then it's decided." I personally led the 1st, 5th, and 16th squadrons to Longshan, an important town on the outskirts of Longbei, and ordered the Tanliang Brigade to launch an attack on Dadeng Town, cutting off the enemy's choke point and forming a pincer pressure to the west and north of Longcheng. At the same time, it is necessary to closely monitor the enemy's movements in Xicheng and Nanliang counties and strengthen preparations for struggle there, and Lin Yifan and Xie Weijie are responsible for the specific work. ”

"Meeting?" Mo Yun's lover Qin Juhua walked in carrying a pot of hot tea, "Come!" Don't worry about the meeting, drink a bowl of oil tea, refresh yourself, wake up, this is conducive to work! While speaking, a small bowl was placed in front of everyone, and everyone passed the teapot and poured the bowl in front of them full of oil tea, "Everyone drink it while it's hot, and the oil tea is fragrant and flavorful when it's hot." ”

"Well, I love to drink this oil tea today! Not only is it sweet and delicious, but also the aftertaste is endless, and the throat is so sweet and sweet for a long time, Sister Qin's oil tea is getting more and more level, I am really envious! How can this old Mo have such a good wife, who knows the roots and knows the warmth! Xie Weijie tasted and enjoyed the fragrant oil tea, pretending to be unconvinced.

"What you mean by that is that your wife is not very good, right? That's wow! Chrysanthemum! It seems that Lao Xie's knees are itchy, you go to Lao Xie's house at night (engrave) a trip, and tell his wife what Lao Xie said just now, someone is going to kneel on the washboard at night! Mo Yun gloated and laughed.

"Okay, you old Mo! You can think of this bad idea, I just sigh, who did you provoke? Big deal, I don't drink anymore. After speaking, he drained the remaining oil tea in the bowl in one gulp, stretched the bowl forward, and said loudly: "What we have is the backbone, if we don't drink it, we won't drink it!" As he spoke, he suddenly bent his body slightly, sank down with the hand holding the bowl, and whispered to Qin Gang, who was holding the teapot, with a hippie smile: "Brother Xiao Qin, it's still hello!" Come! Fill Brother Xie with another bowl. When they saw this, they burst into laughter, and they were all amused by him.

"Sister-in-law Mo! If you have a chance, can you teach us your good skills? Qin Gang tasted the oil tea and said enviously.

"No problem! But...... You don't have to, Si Swenwen, I won't teach you, when I'm liberated, I'll teach all this 'soul hooking soup' to my beautiful Magnolia sister when I have time, do you think it's okay? ”

"Okay...... Absolutely! I can't ask for it...... Cannot! Qin Gang looked around embarrassedly, embarrassed and naïve, which made everyone laugh for a while.

"That's it! In this way, Chrysanthemum, you have to cooperate with Director Qin to do a good job in propaganda work and women's work, and personally go to Xicheng County, and work with the underground party comrades there to raise food and prepare for the People's Liberation Army to enter the city, this work must be done in advance! Mo Yun finally emphasized.

"Okay! I'll do it as soon as possible! ”

On November 9, Mo Yunqin led more than 700 people from the 1st, 5th, and 16th squadrons to conquer Longshan Township. In the process of the enemy's rout, the 1st squadron of "imp squads" fought bravely and pursued the enemy fiercely. Detachment Leader Lu Yuanshan saw an officer from a distance and fled into the ravine, he became extremely excited, and shouted to the "little ghosts": "Comrades! Do you remember what the squad leader 'Little Songzi' told you? He promised the captain to arrest an official, see? The one in the ravine is the one who is an official of the Kuomintang, go on! Comrades! Catch him and the wish of 'Little Matsuko' will come true! This shout reminded the "little ghosts" that they thought day and night about the opportunity to fulfill the wish of their squad leader "Little Songzi", which is also the wish of their children, and now, the opportunity is in front of them, how can this opportunity be missed? "Boom", the "little ghosts" worked hard, and they all scrambled to catch up, for fear that "the cooked duck will fly again (to be continued......
