Chongqing, the official residence of the chairman.

"Yes, yes!"

The chairman of the committee slapped the table excitedly: "Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu's team is hard to wear out with devils every day, you don't work hard to strengthen your strength, really I Jiang someone is a good mallet...... Tell Shangguan Yunxiang that those who capture the surname Ye alive will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, and those surnamed Yuan who are captured alive will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, and their respective officials will be promoted to one level ......"

Cheng Qianxiao on the side made his face look extremely pale, but he didn't say a word, they persuaded it, it was useless, in fact, when this matter was decided, they knew that persuasion was useless, because they all knew that in the heart of the chairman, compared with the devils, maybe the Yan'an gang was the real henchmen of the chairman!

"What are you doing here?"

The chairman of the committee looked back and saw the faces of the two, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "The Japanese and the *** are both the henchmen of our party, and if we don't seize the opportunity to weaken their strength now, we may have to pay a tenfold and hundredfold price in the future...... You may not agree with my approach now, but one day you will understand my good intentions...... I'm not for myself, I'm for my party, for the whole country! ”

Cheng Qian wisely didn't speak, but he couldn't help but think of what Lu Yuan said to him at the beginning - the general is actually a capable general, but it's a pity that he likes to sing red faces with the mud too much, and he has no position of his own...... Blind in vain!

Although Xiao Shanling didn't dare to persuade him, he obviously dared to express his attitude, and said angrily: "I am not as far-sighted as the chairman, but the chairman is doing this, Lu Yuan has already called, General Cheng, Commander Xue Yue, me, and many others...... Everyone obeyed your orders, Chairman, and ignored him—but you also know that guy has a violent temper, and I don't know what will happen......"

"I, Jiang, will I still be afraid that he won't succeed!"

Hearing this, the chairman of the committee sneered: "I don't care who pleads, I am determined on the side of the New Fourth Army, and none of you must persuade me, otherwise don't blame Jiang for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was almost freezing.

Southern Anhui, Xintan Village position.

Xintan Village is just a small village with more than a dozen families, its reputation is not obvious, but its geographical location is very dangerous, and it is the throat of the New Fourth Army to leave the base area and rush to the north bank of the Yangtze River to resist Japan, and the only place to pass through to the land of San'ao.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is steep.

A few months ago, after receiving Gu Zhutong's secret order, Shangguan Yunxiang sent his henchman general Fang Riying to build fortifications on the high ground around Xintan Village and wait for him.

As soon as the New Fourth Army entered the area of Xintang Village, it would immediately cut off their way, and Liu Yuqing's troops and Liu Bingzhe's troops in the surrounding Bangshan, Wangling, Dongliushan, Shijingkeng, Sanxi and other places could be copied in all directions, forming a chain of encirclement, ready to encircle and annihilate them!

Originally, the Yan'an side did not agree with the New Fourth Army to leave the base area, after all, the current strength of the New Fourth Army is far less rapid than that of the Eighth Route Army, the number of people is only eight or nine thousand, and the firearms and equipment have not improved much from the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War.

However, in order to take into account the overall situation, Commander Ye and Political Commissar Xiang finally agreed to accept the chairman's order.

This time, I just crashed into the trap!

"Kill......"

"Fight these ungrateful bastards......"

In the Xintan Village position, countless officers and men of the New Fourth Army rushed up with a sad and angry roar, and there were still many soldiers of the New Fourth Army in the rear who could not launch an offensive at all because of the terrain restrictions, so they could only jump and scold angrily.

If they were surrounded by Japanese troops, even if they knew they were dead, these soldiers would not be so angry.

But now, they were ordered to leave the base area and go to the war zone to exchange fire with the Japanese army, but who would have thought that as soon as they came out, they would get into the pocket arranged by Shangguan Yunxiang, the kind of humiliation of being betrayed and fooled, only made everyone's hearts like knives!

Hearing those scoldings, the soldiers of the 40th Division of the Chongqing side were extremely ashamed, and they felt that they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into-because they knew that these guys in front of them were their compatriots, and they were preparing to go out and fight the Japanese and fight devils!

But now, they have to point their guns at these people, they feel that they have simply become accomplices of devils, no different from traitors and lackeys!

"Hit, hit me hard!"

Division Commander Fang Riying screamed triumphantly, he has always been at odds with the New Fourth Army, and even had been a lot of Commander Ye of the New Fourth Army in the previous suppression of bandits, and now, he feels that he can finally let Commander Ye be his own once!

It's just that those warriors are still hesitating, and the hands holding the guns are shaking violently, because they know that these people are not their enemies.

"Hit, kill these ***s!"

"Beat Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will kill you now!"

The soldiers didn't fight, but the officers had already jumped up, and even pulled out their guns and put them on the heads of the machine gunners!

These officers don't care what the New Fourth Army is doing, they only know that the annihilation of the New Fourth Army is an order issued by the chairman, and as long as they have meritorious service in suppressing bandits, they can be promoted and made a fortune at their fingertips!

Ahh......hhh

The machine gunners fired, and the soldiers were forced to shoot too, howling, tears had already blurred the eyes of I don't know how many people, and they couldn't bear to look at the bloody scene - they clearly remembered, every time they fought with the devil, watching the devil spray blood under their guns, that kind of pleasure was more pleasant than sleeping with a yellow flower girl.

But at this moment, every time they fired a shot, their hearts were like knives!

"Hahaha, it's good to kill, keep killing for me, don't let anyone go!"

Fang Riying looked at the pieces that fell, excited laughter, and said in her heart, surnamed Ye, surnamed Ye, you pit Lao Tzu more than a dozen times but still can't hurt the old foundation, Lao Tzu pits you, and you can take your dog's life - fight with me, you are looking for death!

"Commander Ye, the terrain here is narrow, our department can't line up at all, and the firepower of the British department is strong, and there are a large number of German artillery, if we continue to attack like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work!"

Deputy military commander and political commissar Xiang said: "Why don't I lead some of the brothers to drag Fang Riying, and you take some of the brothers to transfer and break through?" ”

"Mom. Yes, so many people, the weapons and German artillery bought by overseas Chinese are not used to fight devils, but they are used against us...... Lao Jiang he. Mother. It's like eating lard and blinding my heart......"

Political Commissar Yuan, Staff Officer of Zhou on the side, looked at the soldiers who kept falling, and his eyes were full of hatred and grief.

"Fang Riying doesn't have to worry, what I'm afraid of is that Lao Jiang wants to eat all of our New Fourth Army in one bite this time, I'm afraid that the surrounding Chongqing troops have already all taken action, and we can't disperse our forces!"

Commander Ye thought for a while: "We will all retreat, transfer on a large scale, involve their troops, and wait for the opportunity for the whole army to break through the encirclement!" ”
