Chapter 750 Lake Bandits

Liu Yimin did not know that the Japanese army was planning to launch a sweep, and the reason why he ordered to launch a full-line attack on the Japanese army was to cover his military operations in the Suzhou-Anhui region and to protect the summer harvest.

Just when the commander of the Japanese North China Front, General Shanshan Yuan, lamented the "eight routes everywhere", something happened that gave the Central China Dispatch Army a headache.

In accordance with Liu Yimin's order, Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin commanded the Second Special Operations Squadron of the 1st Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the New Brigade to divide the troops and begin to sweep through the northeastern Anhui region north of the Huai River with a devastating momentum. At the same time, Hu Laohu led the cavalry brigade and the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron to steal across the Jinpu Road, and the huge cavalry cluster roared towards Suining, and the attack arrows were directed towards Suqian and Shuyang. The New Third Brigade and the New Seventh Brigade respectively commanded the 1st Regiment of the Engineer Corps, the 3rd Special Operations Squadron, and the 1st and 2nd Sniper Brigades to attack the Hongze Lake area from the north and south. Liu Yimin ordered them to clear the Japanese puppet forces in the Hongzehu area, and then kill the Lianghuai region, and he wanted to set up the command center of the Suzhou-Anhui border region in Huaiyiīn City.

After the army was dispatched, Liu Yimin sent a secret telegram to the chairman and the headquarters, and the telegram contained only one sentence: "The wind rises on the border of Suzhou and Anhui."

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin left Shuanggou Town, led the headquarters and the 1st Guard Battalion and the 3rd Sniper Squadron, escorted the field hospital and the 1st Baggage Regiment, and marched eastward to Bancheng on the west bank of Hongze Lake.

Bancheng is an ancient town with a history of 2,000 years, which was the location of the capital city of Xu built by King Xu Yan in the autumn of Ūn, and was known as Xucheng in ancient times. In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a half-town was set up here, and it was called a half-city because the ancient Xu city wall still existed.

Historically, the semi-town was the seat of the leading organ of the anti-Japanese base area in the Huaibei Suzhou-Anhui border area, and it was a veritable red-hot land.

After arriving in Bancheng, Liu Yimin did not leave for the time being, he wanted to set up a headquarters here, command the troops to pass through the Suzhou-Anhui region, and wait here for the Central Plains Bureau to advance eastward. Comrade Shaoqi sent a telegram saying that he had left Zhugou and was heading to northeast Anhui.

Hongze Lake in July, the blue sky and white clouds below the blue waves, the sky is even the water, the water is even the sky, the vast and endless, the endless reeds are like a green-felt curtain, the vast spread out to the distance, the first blooming lotus flowers are like a lantern, rendering the lake full of pink fish, shrimp, crabs wandering freely in the water. Flocks of sand gulls sometimes soar in the sky, sometimes circle around the boat, and keep singing, playing a brilliant and golden sunrise Hongze Lake, beautiful and boundless.

A boat rowed out of the reeds and headed for the depths of the reeds.

After a while, the boat resounded with the laughter of NV children playing in the water. It turned out that Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, and Huang Wei, who arrived in Bancheng with the army, couldn't stand the heat and went to Hongze Lake to play in the water.

The rowing was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old fisherman's girl, probably because of living on the lake all the year round, her face was slightly black and red, and her long braids were on her chest, swinging with the action of the oars, looking fit and capable, which attracted Jingjing and Huang Wei to take out their cameras to take pictures of her.

Tang Xingying is already the mother of two sons, although she is a little younger than Jingjing and Huang Wei and similar to Zhao Xiaoman, she is relatively old. Seeing Jingjing and Huang Wei taking pictures of the fisherman girl on the boat, the fishing boat swayed from side to side, for fear that the boat would capsize, so he told Jingjing and Huang Wei not to take pictures, and to play for a while and hurry ashore, so as not to make the guards and soldiers anxious.

Huang Wei is now in a very good mood, and Wen Wei Po's military forum column is very popular, which has led to a substantial increase in newspaper sales, and even sold to Southeast Asia and other places. The boss was happy and gave Huang Wei a large bonus. Although Liu Yimin couldn't tell people about the military forum at the beginning, as soon as she remembered the achievements made in writing the "War Newsletter" and proposing the opening of a military forum after arriving in Shandong, the dimples on her face were full of smiles, and she looked beautiful with her short sleeves and long skirts that were different from those of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

People are so strange, it turns out that Huang Wei has short hair with ears, and I don't know what's going on, but now she also has long hair, which seems to be learned from Tang Xingying, Ni Hua, Zhao Xiaoman, and Jingjing, as if Liu Yimin likes long hair.

Today's tour of the lake was proposed by Huang Wei. This girl is rich and wants to have a treat. Of course, what she wanted to invite the most was Liu Yimin, but Liu Yimin was so busy that he didn't see her at all. She had no choice but to go to Jingjing, let Jingjing make an appointment with Zhao Xiaoman and Tang Xingying, and take advantage of the opportunity of the troops stationed in the middle of the town to visit the scenery of Hongze Lake and taste the lake.

Tang Xingying originally didn't want to follow Jingjing and them, but she had a lot of responsibilities and was very busy. Second, there are still two sons to take care of, especially Ping'er is too young to be taken care of by her mother alone. Third, she didn't want to be with these three girls, she knew the affection of these three girls for Liu Yimin, although she has divorced Liu Yimin now, Liu Yimin has become Ni Hua's husband, but the NV people's mind is so strange, she still doesn't want others to look at Liu Yimin more. Li Yun was still distressed, and as soon as Jingjing went to find her, Li Yun persuaded her to come out and relax. In this way, four people rushed to the lake with a battalion and a company of guards, asked the soldiers to deploy a guard, got on the boat, and played on the lake.

Tang Xingying said that Jingjing and Huang Wei no longer took pictures of the fisherman's girl, and began to paddle with their hands, shuttle among the lotus flowers, and enjoy the scenery on the lake.

After a short time, I don't know who proposed it first, the four NV fighters asked the fisherman girl to row the boat to a shallow water near the reeds, two people were on guard with guns on the boat, and two people took off their clothes and went into the water to swim.

After taking turns to swim, Tang Xingying said, "Xiaoman, sing a song, I haven't heard you sing for a long time." ”

Zhao Xiaoman has a deep affection for Liu Yimin, and in the end Liu Yimin still chose Tang Xingying. Now that Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying are divorced and married to Ni Hua, who knows Zhao Xiaoman's thoughts? Listening to Tang Xingying say let her sing, Zhao Xiaoman opened his mouth to say a folk song from northern Shaanxi: "From the first day of the first year to the fifteenth, the fifteenth month is high." That ūn wind it swayed, Yang Ya Yang willow tops. ”

The soft and poignant song floats on the surface of the lake, and even the lotus flowers are infected, gently swaying with the wind, as if to respond to the rhythm and feelings of the song.

After singing a song, Zhao Xiaoman sang "Orchid Flower" again.

After Zhao Xiaoman sang the two songs, Tang Xingying, Jingjing and Huang Wei didn't speak, stroking their wet long hair one by one, and looking at the scenery on the lake in the distance.

Where did the fisherman girl know their thoughts, and said with a smile that the sister of the Eighth Route Army sang so well, much better than the troupe that came to the town to perform.

For a long time, Tang Xingying rapped badly, too sadly, and sang a cheerful and in line with the foreground.

Zhao Xiaoman felt sad in his heart, where was he in the mood to sing. It's just that the prospect is really good, and it can't blow everyone's mind. Zhao Xiaoman thought about it, and sang "Qingqing Luoma Lake" sung by Liu Yimin when he met Gao Jingting by Luoma Lake:

"The clear Llama Lake, as far as the eye can see, standing on the shore of the lake, you can't see the east from the west. Shrimp and crabs are raised in autumn water, blue waves are embraced by water chestnuts and lotus roots, and the harvest of fishing songs is sung to my heart.

Endless love, my hometown love is always so strong, endless water connects the sky, I hope you will be more prosperous tomorrow.

The clear Llama Lake, as far as the eye can see, standing on the shore of the lake, from the west can not see the east. Bandai flows in the sky and the water, and the eight-sided wind is sent from the heavens, and the joyful laughter floats into my heart.

Endless love, my hometown love is always so strong, endless water connects to the sky, tomorrow you will be more prosperous. Tomorrow will be more prosperous"

Except that the name is wrong, this song is consistent with the beautiful scenery of Hongze Lake. After singing the song, Huang Wei couldn't help but ask Zhao Xiaoman who wrote this song, and why she had never heard anyone in the domestic music industry sing this song?

As soon as Huang Wei asked, Tang Xingying and Jingjing both turned their eyes to Zhao Xiaoman.

Zhao Xiaoman's face turned red, and then he said that he learned it from an officer in the Political Department.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoman's face slightly red, although Huang Wei didn't know what the reason was, she was able to write such a good article, and her mind was smart, so she hurriedly said that it was not too early, and she went ashore to eat fish.

Tang Xingying and the others never dreamed that a few hundred meters away from them, under a lotus leaf, a pair of greedy and evil eyes had been staring at them.

At this time, Hongze Lake, shrimp and crabs are beautiful, fish are in groups, and when the net goes down, the live fish, shrimp and crabs are caught, and they are absolutely wild green-ingredients. When Tang Xingying and the others were playing on the lake, the soldiers of the first company, with the cooperation of more than a dozen fishermen, were already fishing for fish and shrimp, setting up pots, and starting a fire to cook.

Whether it's Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, or Huang Wei, they are all students, and they are not good at cooking. It is precisely because of this that after Liu Yimin and Tang Xingying got married, in addition to eating with the soldiers, they also cooked once in a while, and Liu Yimin did it.

The instructor seized a lot, and now he controls such a large base area, and there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for cooking, and it doesn't take long for the pot to come out of the fragrance of fish and shrimp.

The fishermen who helped saw that this team was disciplined, and in addition to fishing by themselves, they also paid the fishermen who helped, and knew that they had met the real Eighth Route Army, so they couldn't help but boast about opening Hongze Lake.

According to the fishermen, the water of Hongze Lake is so clear that it can be used as a mirror, and there are hundreds of species of fish in the lake, 70 to 80 species of aquatic plants such as reeds and lotuses, 1 or 200 species of birds, and 60 or 70 species of other animals in the lake. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sunrise is gold. The most famous lake freshness is hairy crab, lobster and whitebait, which are delicious because the water quality is good and there is no earthy smell. It's a pity that the situation is not peaceful, there are many lake bandits, and there are many fishing tyrants. No matter how much the lake produces, it can't withstand the snatching of these guys. The hairy crabs, lobsters, whitebait, carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, herring, grass carp, and silver carp caught by the fishermen are not only filial to those lake bandits, but the rest have to be taxed by the fishermen, and they can be taken to the market to exchange money and buy some oil, salt and products. What fishermen can really eat is trash fish, and they also rely on lotus root, root seed, and water chestnut to supplement the lack of food. Therefore, the boatmen of Hongze Lake have long had the saying that "jītou and water chestnut are half a year's grain".

As soon as he heard the word lake bandits, Tang Xingying became alert, and immediately called a company commander, asking him to send investigators to learn more about the situation of lake bandits, go back to report to No. 1, and organize the soldiers to catch more lake fresh, and also to shoot some wild ducks, find some wild duck eggs, and go back to Jiā to the field hospital. Several brigades act together, the scale of the battle will not be small, and there will be many wounded, and using lake fresh game to replenish the wounded can allow them to recover early.

After eating, the soldiers of the first company of the guard happily returned to most of the town with the fish and shrimp they had caught, hairy crabs, wild ducks, roe jī, wild duck eggs, and wild jī eggs.

That night, in a shack of reeds in the shallows of Chengziwa on the west shore of Hongze Lake, torches swayed in the slight night breeze, flickering and dimming, just like the ghost fire that the common people say.

The old man sitting on the chair was Gao Zhujiu, a well-known bandit leader around Hongze Lake. At this moment, he was entertaining guests, and the guest was Liu Wulianzi, the leader of another lake bandit who was spying on Tang Xingying and others by Hongze Lake during the day.

At this time, there were many bandits in Hongze Lake. Take the west bank of Hongze Lake as an example, there are three major depressions, such as Lihe Depression, Anhe Depression and Chengzi Depression. The area around the Lihe Valley is the territory of the bandit leader Wei Yousan. The residents of the lake called Wei Yousan "old three", saying that this guy was murderous. On the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month of the 14th year of the Republic of China, Wei Yousan, together with Liu Jinran and Pan Jiebazi, three bandits of more than 1,000 people, bloodied Liu Dadezhuang in Sunyuan Township, Si County, burned more than 400 houses, robbed more than 50,000 kilograms of grain, and killed more than 280 villagers, of which 18 were wiped out; 1On the fourth night of the eighth lunar month of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, Wei Yousan washed Luji Village, Jieji Town, Si County, and 268 people were killed. The common people of the Lake District often say: "If anyone does something bad, he is the third seed of the old one!" ”

An Hewa is the world of the bandit leader Sun Naixiang and others, and the good fortune of the residents of the lake is decided to be under his gun, so people call him the "fierce third master". Since there was the Eighth Route Army, Sun Naixiang, the frog at the bottom of the well, called his gang the "Tenth Route Army", which meant to be alongside the Eighth Route Army.

Chengziwa's Shang Tsui, Luo Tsui, and Gao Tsui are the bandit nests of Gao Zhujiu and Chen Peihua, who are even more crazy than Sun Naixiang, and they are obviously hundreds of lake bandits, and they must be called the "Ninth Route Army".

In addition to these three major lake bandits, there are also bandits such as Wang Naihan, Zhang Wenbo, Liu Sizi, Liu Wulianzi, and Liu Qingyang on the lake, colluding with the Japanese puppet army, lurking in the reeds and grass beaches along the lake for a long time, and setting up checkpoints on the lake to exploit and oppress the people.

Hongze Lake, where the sun rises and fights for gold, raised these lake bandits, who not only have light and heavy machine guns, but also mortars, small steel cannons, and are equipped with steel paddles (a kind of wooden warship with bulletproof steel plates with vertical blocks on the bow). In total, there are hundreds of wooden boats and fifty steel rows, which is quite powerful. The last time the Japanese army swept away the heavy troops, these lake bandits saw that the Japanese army drove a patrol boat into Hongze Lake, and immediately threw themselves into the arms of the Japanese army, becoming a puppet army, cooperating with the Japanese invaders to plague the people along the lake.
