"Good! You wait! When Hong Yu heard that Vice Chairman Zhou was going to see him, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, took off the military hat hanging on the coat rack, said hello to Tang Xingye and them, and left with the comer.

More than half an hour later, Hong Yu followed the people who came to find him and came to Vice Chairman Zhou's residence.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, Comrade Hong Yu has arrived!"

When Vice Chairman Zhou heard the announcement, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to the door in three steps and two steps, and said with a smile: "Our big hero is here!" ”

"Vice Chairman Zhou!" Hong Yu immediately saluted Vice Chairman Zhou. Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile: "You are a guest now, don't be so polite." Come on, let's go in and talk! Saying that, Vice Chairman Zhou pulled Hong Yu into the room, beckoned Hong Yu to sit down, and asked, "Is your base area okay now?!" ”

Hong Yu replied: "It's not bad now. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou continued: "I wanted to see you last time I went to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, but I never had the opportunity. Let's have a good chat today. After that, Vice Chairman Zhou personally poured a glass of water and handed it to Hong Yu. After chatting for more than an hour, Hong Yu said goodbye to Vice Chairman Zhou and returned to Kang Da. ……

Time passed little by little, and it was mid-March 1942. Just after class that day, when Hong Yu took Tang Xingye and the three of them to the cafeteria to eat, he received an order to return to the independent group. The four of them had eaten, packed up their things, and left Yan'an early the next morning after completing all the formalities.

The four of Hong Yu, who are like arrows, can be described as masters of art and bold, all the way from train to train, and it only took more than half a month to return to the station of the independent group.

"Commissar! Commander, they're back! ”

"What?!" Gu Zhenghai heard the guard's report and immediately ran out of the regiment headquarters. Seeing the four of Hong Yu who were walking into the village, they immediately greeted them and shouted, "Hong Yu! ”

"Commissar!" Hong Yu took two quick steps and reached out to hold Gu Zhenghai's hand. The two asked in unison, "You (you), are you okay?!" (Okay?!) The two of them smiled in unison. Hong Yu said: "I am very good, we were supposed to end our studies in June, but for some reason, I suddenly received an order for us to return to the independent group immediately!" Then Hong Yu asked, "Is there anything going on lately?!" ”

"This is not the place to talk, let's go to the regiment headquarters first!" Gu Zhenghai heard Hong Yu's inquiry, and his brows furrowed slightly. Hong Yu saw that Gu Zhenghai's expression was a little wrong, so he handed the bag in his hand to Gao Hu and said, "Help me send the bag back!" Tell your sister-in-law that I will go to see her and the child after I finish talking to the political commissar. Saying that, Hong Yu turned his head to look at Tang Xingye and the three of them, and said, "You go back to see your daughter-in-law first." We'll talk about it later! With that, Hong Yu followed Gu Zhenghai and walked towards the regiment headquarters.

After entering the regiment headquarters, Gu Zhenghai sent all the people, closed the door, handed a glass of water to Hong Yu, and said, "Comrade Hufu has been transferred to the Central Committee to work. Rao Shu Shi succeeded Comrade Hu Fu. However, this guy is an official fan, and he squeezed out Commander Chen as soon as he came up. Now many people have a lot of opinions about him. ”

Hong Yu smiled bitterly: "What's the use of opinions." Now it's everywhere in the wind. Saying that, Hong Yu asked, "Why didn't you see Lao Zhang?!" ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "I asked him to go to the meeting on my behalf, and he should be back in a few days!" ”

"In a few days, I'll be back!" At this time, Zhang Guohua pushed the door and walked in. Hong Yu and Gu Zhenghai glanced at each other, and Hong Yu asked, "Lao Zhang, who made you so atmospheric?!" ”

"Captain, are you back?!" Zhang Guohua walked to Hong Yu's side, grabbed Hong Yu's teacup, poured two mouthfuls of water, and said, "I don't think Rao Shi used gold to buy the guards back." Lao Tzu suspected that he had rebelled and changed. Otherwise, they would not have crowded out people as soon as they came to power. ”

"That's it! Let off steam! Hong Yu beckoned Zhang Guohua to sit down and asked, "Is there any new order from above?!" ”

Zhang Guohua replied: "I just got the news that the US military has decided to bomb the Japanese mainland in the near future in order to boost morale. The superior asked us to be ready to respond. ”

"Bombing the Japanese mainland?!" Hong Yu and Gu Zhenghai glanced at each other, and an excited expression immediately appeared on their faces. Gu Zhenghai said: "This is the best news I have heard in this time.

"Yes! Me too! Hong Yu nodded slightly, and his brows furrowed again. Gu Zhenghai asked, "What's wrong?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "It stands to reason that I am not here to receive the American plane, and you can also carry out this mission?!" Why, do you want me to come back?! ”

"That's just as well!" Gu Zhenghai and Zhang Guohua glanced at each other, and an ominous premonition came to their hearts at the same time. It wasn't until many years later that Hong Yu met Gu Zhenghai again and solved the mystery. Because of the treasure of the Heavenly Kingdom and the storming of the demon cave with his troops, he rescued those children of overseas Chinese who returned to China, so he escaped from the Rectification Movement.

Zhang Guohua hesitated for a while and said, "Since you're back, don't think about it so much." It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. It's better to relax and treat it as usual! ”

Hong Yu smiled at Zhang Guohua, and then asked, "Political commissar, how is the current situation in our base area?!" ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "Regiment leader, during the time you went to Yan'an to study, Changsha fought two battles in a row, and in the end, the little devil was still in Xue Yue's hands. Although Xue Yue won, his vitality was also greatly damaged. The 30th Army stationed in Wuning was worried that we would take advantage of their weakness to clean them up, so they also behaved a lot. ”……

April 2, 1942. On the third day after Hong Yu returned to the regimental headquarters, the USS Hornet, carrying 16 B-25B bombers, left the port of San Francisco in a low-key manner, and on April 14, between the Aleutian Islands and Midway Island in the North Pacific, it set off from Pearl Harbor to rendezvous with the Enterprise as a cover. On the evening of April 18, the bombing of cities along the line from Tokyo to Yokohama was carried out. Because of the early take-off and the sudden change in the direction of the wind after dark, the US bombers did not follow the prior plan and landed at the designated airfield, and most of them made a forced landing halfway.

"Regiment commander, this is a telegram from the military headquarters." At five o'clock in the morning on April 19, Hong Yu came to the regiment headquarters early because he couldn't sleep. Not long after he sat down, Miao Yu appeared in front of Hong Yu with a telegram. Hong Yu took the telegram, looked at it, and hurriedly said to Gao Hu: "Go and call the political commissar!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Hu responded and ran out of the regiment headquarters quickly. After about half an hour, Gu Zhenghai walked into the regiment headquarters with a sigh of anger and asked, "Hong Yu, call me so early, what's wrong?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "This is a telegram just sent by the military department, look at it!" ”

When Gu Zhenghai heard the telegram from the military headquarters, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the telegram and read it. After three or four minutes, Gu Zhenghai said in disbelief: "The Americans really blew up Japan?!" I'm not dreaming, am I?! ”

Hong Yu reached out and pinched Gu Zhenghai's face. "Oops!" Gu Zhenghai rubbed his face that was pinched by Hong Yu and said, "Why are you pinching me?!" ”

Hong Yu asked, "Does it hurt?!" ”

"It hurts?!" Gu Zhenghai replied with waiting eyes.

Hong Yu smiled and continued: "It hurts, that's right!" Show that you are not dreaming! ”

"Why don't you dream?!" Zhang Guohua, Tang Xingye and Gao Ming walked into the regiment headquarters one after the other.

Hong Yu said: "Last night the Americans attacked the Japanese mainland. ”

"What?!" Zhang Guohua and the three of them glanced at each other and looked at Hong Yu in unison. Gu Zhenghai glanced at Hong Yu while rubbing his face, and said, "It's true!" The military department has just sent a telegram asking us to search and rescue the American pilot who has parachuted. Then Gu Zhenghai handed the telegram to Zhang Guohua.

After Zhang Guohua and the others finished reading the telegram, Tang Xingye said: "I'll go and issue a search and rescue order now!" ”

"There you go!" Hong Yu then walked to the map, gestured twice on the map, and asked, "Do we still have people in the Tianmu Mountain area?!" ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "Qian Duoduo has been training in Tianmu Mountain with the special task force in the past few days. You can get them to pay attention to those American pilots. ”

Hong Yu asked, "How come I didn't know they went to Tianmu Mountain?!" ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "They have been going for more than a month. Saying that, Gu Zhenghai suddenly reacted and said, "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot." After Gu Zhenghai signaled the rest of the regiment headquarters to go out, he called Zhang Guohua and Gao Ming over and said: "Before breaking through, Political Commissar Xiang divided our military expenses into many cents, which were carried by different people. Except for a few of his copies, which were killed and taken away by the adjutant Liu Houzong, he hid the rest in advance. The superiors suspected that these things were hiding in the wooded area. And we're familiar with the area, so let's send a small force to search there. I thought about it and decided that only the Special Attack Team would be more suitable, so I sent them out. ”

Hong Yu asked, "What about that bastard of Mr. Liu Hou?!" Is there any whereabouts for him?! ”

Gu Zhenghai shook his head and said, "No! So far, there has been no news. ”

In the afternoon, a little after three o'clock. Hong Yu was just about to go to the hospital to see his daughter-in-law and children, Gu Zhenghai ran to Hong Yu with a telegram and said, "Commander, good news!" Today, Qian Duoduo rescued five American pilots near West Tianmu Mountain. He sent two groups of men and was escorting them back to the regimental headquarters. ”

Hong Yu took the telegram and quickly read the contents of the telegram, and said: "Tell Qian Duoduo, let him be bolder, and expand the search area as much as possible." ”

"Good! I'm going to send a telegram and tell the military department the news! With that, Gu Zhenghai left quickly.

"Look at his happy appearance, where is Lao Gu going?!" Zhang Guohua looked at Gu Zhenghai who was passing by in a hurry, and walked in front of Hong Yu with a puzzled face and asked.

Hong Yu replied with a smile: "He ate bee poop!" Saying that, Hong Yu handed the telegram to Zhang Guohua.
