Although his position is still the detachment leader of the task force, Zhao Tiehu, who has completed his promotion in his position, needs to return to Yan'an Kang University for further study according to the regulations of the Eighth Route Army, which can be regarded as returning to the furnace for further study.

For this school that has cultivated countless founding generals, Zhao Tiehu naturally knows something. It's just that the study at Kang Da is more of a political re-study, and the study of party rules and military discipline is deepened.

Regarding Zhao Tiehu's study, after the chili banquet last night, Zhao Tiehu mentioned to the committee members that he hoped to return to Zaozhuang as soon as possible. For him, staying in the rear was a bit worrying about the troops.

It's just that the committee members who have received Luo Rong's secret telegram seem to be a little worried about Zhao Tiehu's current psychological changes. But after coming back this time, Zhao Tiehu gave him a feeling that seemed to be a little different from before, but more mature.

The committee members even personally inquired about Zhao Tiehu's views on the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and some things about the cooperation between the two parties. At least Zhao Tiehu's remarks still made the committee members feel that Zhao Tiehu was much more cautious than before.

This kind of prudence, to a certain extent, is also a kind of mental maturity, and in the eyes of the committee members, it is still very desirable. After all, after serving as a military and political dignitary, Zhao Tiehu's mentality still needs some changes.

If you really want to fight like before, you only know how to move forward bravely, and if you don't consider the problem comprehensively enough, it is estimated that Zhao Tiehu will not be able to bring the current task force. It can be said that the committee members felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Tiehu.

But in the end, in the face of Zhao Tiehu's application for part-time study, he still said: "Tiger cub, it's rare to come back, you can study for a few days with peace of mind." At least you should get to know more of the students in this session.

As for going back, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible. I know that you people have a headache when they talk about studying, but as important commanders of the troops, only by strengthening your study can you make greater progress.

At present, the situation in Shandong still seems to be grim, but it is still much easier than before. This time, the Central Committee sent Comrade Luo Rong over in the hope that he would provoke military and political work in Shandong.

As his old subordinate, you will support him more in your work in the future. As for the task force, I'm glad you did a great job. Even Mr. Zhu also sent a telegram, saying that you fought very well in Zaozhuang and played our military morale.

It's just that you should also know that at present, the little devils have also begun to strengthen their attacks on us, and the Zhongyan army has also strengthened their defense against us. Therefore, the future situation of the Anti-Japanese War will become more severe, and there will be higher requirements for you. ”

These words are undoubtedly an affirmation of Zhao Tiehu's work, but in Zhao Tiehu's view, it is indeed very rare to enter the University of Resistance for further study. But for him, such a life seems to be a bit boring and draining his fighting spirit.

Even if you stay in Yan'an and live in a cave, the conditions are much better than living in the mountains, and you don't have to worry about any danger. But after staying like this for a long time, Zhao Tiehu will also worry about wearing out his vigilance.

Fortunately, he also had some things to do here in Yan'an, and after sending the three elementary schools of the Wang family to the technical school opened, he saw that the three elementary schools lived in good places. After the three children got used to it, they quickly became familiar with the new environment, and Zhao Tiehu was also very pleased.

Regarding their living expenses in Yan'an, Zhao Tiehu naturally bears all of them. After writing a letter back to Wangjiabao on behalf of the three of them, they also wrote down the school and address of the three elementary schools on the letter.

In the future, the parents of the three people, if they have time to come to Yan'an, can also find the three of them with the address on the letter. And the three of them studied in Yan'an for at least three years. In this way, the three of them are almost adults after reading.

Just when Zhao Tiehu endured his temperament, stayed in Yan'an to take care of the three elementary schools, and went to Kang University on time every day to study. A rumor spread on the side of the Eighth Route Army and the Zhong Yan Army, and the spearhead was directed at Zhao Tiehu.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, when they learned the news, more people felt that it seemed to be nothing. After all, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has received a telegram from the central government, and all the funds have been escorted to Yan'an.

But some people still feel that Zhao Tiehu's behavior in Zaozhuang is somewhat inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the Eighth Route Army. The most fundamental one, many people feel that Zhao Tiehu is too murderous, and there have been many violations of discipline in the treatment of prisoners.

In addition, in the matter of handing over the loot and seizing it, Zhao Tiehu also seemed to be a little arbitrary. Just like the funds for escorting Yan'an this time, as well as the funds handed over to the two columns, all make people suspicious.

After all, Zhao Tiehu went to Zaozhuang City twice in Zaozhuang, and laid down several surrounding counties. Not to mention copying the reserves of the little devils, just the money copied from the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the county town is estimated not to be at this point.

After seizing so many funds, not handing over the column always makes people suspect Zhao Tiehu's intentions in this matter. To put it simply, Zhao Tiehu violated discipline, and to put it seriously, it was to hide a sharp weapon of war.

If it is said that on the side of the Eighth Route Army, because of this rumor, some people began to criticize Zhao Tiehu's approach. Then the question sent by the Zhong Yanjun side was a bit harshly worded. The reason is that Zhong Yanjun questioned Zhao Tiehu for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

From the point of view of the Zhong Yan army, Zhao Tiehu asked the little devil to spend money to recover the head of the killed general, which was itself an act of financing the enemy. In such an environment of the Anti-Japanese War, such things should have been used as propaganda.

But Zhao Tiehu didn't report it, and reached a cooperation agreement with the little devil in private, which was a betrayal in itself. Even in the telegram sent to Yan'an, Zhong Yanjun accused Zhao Tiehu of being suspected of killing friendly soldiers.

After all, the last little devil's sweep in the Weishan Lake area, the real loss was still the security regiment of the Zhongyan Army there. Even in the end, the second detachment came to the rescue, but Zhong Yanjun still beat a rake.

The reason is naturally very simple, the Zhong Yan Army hopes to stifle the development of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. Even in the telegram, he explicitly accused the Eighth Route Army of conniving at Zhao Tiehu, and Zhao Tiehu was the key target of the Zhongyan Army.

killed a colonel of the Zhongyan Army in Yushe, and this time he had a private deal and cooperation with the little devil in Zaozhuang. Originally, according to the meaning of Zhong Yanjun, if Zhao Tiehu sincerely served the country and killed the enemy, then he should not give the little devil a chance to repair the Zaozhuang Railway.

But now, Zhao Tiehu, who is in Zaozhuang, allows the Japanese army to repair the railway. Once the railway is completed, then the supplies of the Japanese army in the north will appear in large quantities in the south, in front of the attack on the large forces of the Zhongyan army.

Despite such a telegram, Yan'an did not want to pay too much attention to it. After all, many people know in their hearts that this is actually the excuse that Zhong Yanjun is best at. Regarding this kind of thing, Zhong Yanjun has also protested several times.

It's just that at present, for the Eighth Route Army, it is far from the time to fully turn around with the Zhong Yan Army. For the sake of a Zhao Tiehu, he completely fell out with Zhong Yanjun. Is it really suitable?

In addition, some doubts within the Eighth Route Army also made the committee members feel a little headache and trouble!

Regarding these things, Zhao Tiehu is actually not clear. But what really surprised Zhao Tiehu was when he finished his day's study. Outside the cave where they lived, several young cadres suddenly came.

Looking at Zhao Tiehu, his expression was a little serious: "Are you Comrade Zhao Tiehu, the head of the Zaozhuang Task Force?" ”

'Yes! Who are you? ’

"Comrade Zhao Tiehu, hello, we are from the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, there are some questions that need to be verified with you, please come with us!" ’

Hearing this, Zhao Tiehu frowned and said, "From the Political Department? Can you tell us about that? ”

'Please come with us, what is the specific matter, we will tell you when we arrive!' ’

Looking at the slightly vigilant eyes of several young soldiers beside the leading cadres, Zhao Tiehu knew very well what these people were doing. It's just that to Zhao Tiehu's surprise, it was the attitude of these people that reminded him of some bad memories.

Even the students who lived with him also seemed to be nervous when they heard that they were cadres from the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army who had come to Zhao Tiehu to find him. For these cadres who are studying, they naturally know what the Political Department does.

These people are specifically responsible for the political review of the Eighth Route Army, and if they are targeted by these people, the end will naturally not be too good. Now that Zhao Tiehu is being taken away by these people, something must have happened. For this reason, the students did not dare to obstruct it too much.

When Zhao Tiehu was taken to the cave where the political office was located, looking at the posture of these people, Zhao Tiehu said coldly in his heart: "Are you interrogation?" Excuse me, do you have the above arraignment procedures? ”

Looking at the frame in the cave, which was obviously the appearance of interrogation, Zhao Tiehu really looked a little angry in his heart. But he was still surprised, if he wanted to move him, he should have alarmed the committee members, right?

Zhao Tiehu, who asked himself if he had made any mistakes, really couldn't understand why the people in the political department were staring at him. Don't these people know that he is a descendant of the committee members? Or is there some secret in it?

At this time, the cadre in charge of arraignment quickly took out a letter of instructions from his superiors and said: "Comrade Zhao Tiehu, this is the arraignment procedure issued by the Political Department, you can take a look." Without evidence, we will not arraign you at will. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Tiehu sneered: "Okay, then I'll hear what evidence you have." Please remember, if you can't come up with evidence, don't blame me for going to Director Ren to protest with the committee members! ”

As for the current head of the Political Department, Zhao Tiehu also knew him when he was in the Soviet District. Perhaps it was Zhao Tiehu's words that let these cadres know that the person in front of them should not be offended too much, and the tone of inquiry was relatively relaxed.

But in Zhao Tiehu's view, such an arraignment process made him feel like a criminal. Even the worries that couldn't help but be revealed before made Zhao Tiehu feel even more that some things still make people palpitate even if time passes.

So for him, will he be able to get through this hurdle safely? Or, one day in the future, when he confronts these people again, what choice will he make?
