After the inaugural meeting of the eastward advance detachment, the centralized training of all units was completed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming immediately issued an order, and Huang Hua, deputy commander of the detachment, commanded the Fourth Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment to conduct guerrilla attacks between Wuqiao, Dongguang, Nanpi, Botou, and Cangxian, and adopt the tactics of attack and ambush to fight the Japanese army's transport convoy transporting ammunition and grain to the front line, and temporarily cut off the communication between Cangxian and Wuqiao; Hu Qingyun, chief of staff, commanded the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Deping Independent Regiment to attack the highway leading from Dexian to Lingxian, Linyi, Jiyang, and Jinan, ambushed the convoys, patrols, and small units of the Japanese puppet army transporting ammunition and baggage, cut off the highway traffic from Dexian to Jinan, and waited for an opportunity to sabotage the railway.

After the Ziya River Railway Bridge was blown up by Xiao Siming's cavalry company, the railway traffic from Dexian County to Pingjin has been interrupted, and the little devils have not been able to repair the Ziya River Railway Bridge until now! However, the railways from Dexian to Jinan, to Tai'an, and Yanzhou are unimpeded, and the arms and grain transported by the little devils from Tianjin to the front line can still be transported to the front line by railway cars after they arrive in Dexian County by road and canal.

Huang Hua and Hu Qingyun, who accepted the task, were a little worried, and reminded Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming to pay attention to Liu Jingliang and strictly prevent Liu Jingliang from sneaking up on Wudi and Qingyun.

Xiao Siming laughed, and even said: "It's okay if Liu Jingliang doesn't come to sneak attack, if you dare to come and sneak attack our base area, we will take the opportunity to sweep Huimin, Zhanhua, Lijin, Binxian, and Putai, and completely drive him out of northern Lubei!" ”

Think about it, Liu Jingliang is not stupid, Zhang Ziliang ran to him, he will definitely know about the Eighth Route Army's advance to the Jilu border, and he will definitely not try to swallow the 31st Detachment in history, and then take eggs and touch them on the stones!

Huang Hua and Hu Qingyun stopped being verbose, said goodbye to Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming, and went to carry out their tasks.

After sending Huang Hua and Hu Qingyun away, Xiao Siming sat down in front of the map, and the old monk was settled, ignoring no one and looking at the map attentively.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments, artillery regiments, armored battalions, cavalry battalions, engineer battalions, baggage battalions, reconnaissance companies, and communications companies that remained around Leling City all received orders to open and are now busy making preparations.

The landlord's villager's water tank must be full, the yard must be cleaned, all the borrowed items from the villager's house must be returned, and even the latrines built when the troops were stationed must be cleaned with loess pads.

Not only were the troops preparing, but the newly established anti-Japanese democratic governments in Ningjin, Leling, Qingyun, Wudi, and Yanshan counties had all received orders from the Military and Political Committee of the Hebei-Lubian Border to secretly organize a contingent to support the front, divided into a transport team and a stretcher team, and brought their own rations, ready to receive further instructions, report to the designated place, and cooperate with the troops in combat!

Wang Lushui, Huo Cheng, and Ma Zhenhua were all busy, including Zheng Xiuchuan, deputy chief of staff and chief of staff, and Shi Poshan, chief of logistics, all of whom were busy, only Xiao Siming stayed quietly in the headquarters to read the map, and the whole person was immersed in the map. It seems that all the lines on the map are alive in his mind!

It was dark, Wang Lushui, Ma Zhenhua, Huo Cheng, and Zheng Xiuchuan were also busy, and returned to the headquarters to meet Xiao Siming.

Wang Lushui and Ma Zhenhua had to stay in Leling, leaving them with only one guard battalion. However, during this time, Leling, Ningjin, Qingyun, Wudi, and Yanshan all organized county brigades, but at this time, the number of county brigades in each county was not large, and most of them were transferred to the new regiment moved to Wudi for training.

Xiao Siming was originally going to transfer a company from each of the four main regiments and leave it under the command of Wang Lushui. But Wang Lushui didn't let it, saying that it was enough for the guard battalion to stay, and there were not many troops in the first place, and if the troops were transferred again, the troops would be even more insufficient, which would affect the main force to fight!

Xiao Siming was no longer verbose, a few people had dinner at the detachment headquarters, and they were about to say goodbye and set off, when Feng Li, the head of the security section, and Lu Qi, who was in charge of cultural and educational work, rushed to report: Wang Zhaoming has run away!

Although Wang Lushui, Ma Zhenhua, and Huo Cheng did not know Wang Zhaoming's true identity, and did not know that Wang Zhaoming was a graduate of the fourth phase of Huangpu and had presided over the work of the Central Unification of the Nanjing area, they all knew that he was a member of the Kuomintang * Kuomintang * Party, otherwise it would be impossible to get the number of the 31st Guerrilla Brigade from Kang Ze!

Xiao Siming asked what was going on? When was it discovered?

Lu Qi said that after the inaugural meeting of the advance detachment was held in the morning, Wang Zhaoming reported to him that he wanted to go to Wudi to check on the resumption of classes in several schools, but he did not agree. The reason is that they are preparing to set up a "Beacon Newspaper" and want to publish a mimeographed tabloid as soon as possible, but they are short of manpower. When this issue of the mimeographed tabloid came out, he and Wang Zhaoming went to various counties separately to check the resumption of classes. At that time, Wang Zhaoming didn't say anything and happily agreed. In the afternoon, they were busy carving wax plates, and Wang Zhaoming was also busy. When it was almost dark, Wang Zhaoming went to the toilet, and he didn't care. When I was eating just now, I found that Wang Zhaoming didn't come to eat, so I went to call him. After shouting, I found that Wang Zhaoming was gone, and the small suitcase he usually carried was no longer in the residence, and he suspected that he had run away!

When Wang Zhaoyang was transferred to Lu Qi as his deputy, Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming did not ask Lu Qi to arrange someone to monitor Wang Zhaoming. This is purely because Lu Qi has been engaged in underground work for a long time, and he is highly vigilant, so he pays attention to Wang Zhaoming, who was removed from the post of deputy commander of the 31st detachment. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to find out that Wang Zhaoming was not there until he went to bed at night to check the shop!

Wang Lushui's eyebrows rose suddenly, and he ordered Feng Li in a cold voice: "The main action is imminent, Wang Zhaoming is fleeing at this time, there is a possibility of defecting to the enemy, and it is likely to leak the secrets of our army!" Order the guard battalion and cavalry battalion to go out and pursue them separately! After discovering Wang Zhaoming, if he resists, he can be killed! ”

Feng Li replied loudly "yes", and was about to leave, but Xiao Siming shouted to stop him!

After thinking about it, Xiao Siming said: "Director Huo, you take the detachment to go with the regiment first, and I'll go see what's going on with this Wang Zhaoming!" ”

Huo Cheng asked, "Is there any such thing?" ”

Xiao Siming said: "Political commissar, Director Huo, our handling of Wang Zhaoming's matter is a little simple, we should have a good talk with him!" This person, the anti-Japanese position is no problem, and he will not surrender to the Japanese puppet army! At best, he wanted to run to Liu Jingliang, thinking that if he found Liu Jingliang, he would find the national army. We couldn't have made it easier to deal with this! I'll check it out! ”

Xiao Siming wanted to chase Wang Zhaoming in person, Wang Lushui was naturally relieved, so he didn't say more.

Feng Li went to inform the cavalry battalion, Xiao Siming shook goodbye to Wang Lushui and Ma Zhenhua, went out of the headquarters, rode his own Zhaoye jade lion horse, and took a guard squad that acted with him, and after meeting with the cavalry battalion outside the city, he chased directly to the southeast road leading to Yangxin and Huimin.

Wang Zhaoming has been on the Jilu border for so long, and he has fought with the 31st team, so he should be very familiar with the geography of this area. Now it's time for the green yarn tent to rise, and trying to find someone on the vast plain at night is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xiao Siming was not sure about catching Wang Zhaoming, and he didn't have much hope. The reason why he had to personally lead the team to chase after him when he set off was that he thought that Wang Zhaoming was a talent and had the heart to recruit. Another one, that is, he knew the outcome of Wang Zhaoming running to Liu Jingliang and being killed in history, and he was afraid that if Wang Zhaoming was caught up by Feng Li and the cavalry battalion, he would be treated as a defector and executed on the spot, so that our army would have blood on their hands that should not be stained!

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether Wang Zhaoming can be caught or not, the key is not to let our army execute him. After all, Wang Zhaoming is resolutely anti-Japanese!

Historically, after Wang Zhaoming's death, the national * army regarded him as a martyr of the Anti-Japanese War, which was also in line with the reality at that time!

The cavalry was fast, and when Xiao Siming and the others chased to the area of the Nine Saints Hall at the junction of Leling and Yangxin, they calculated the time, and felt that Wang Zhaoming could not reach here, so Xiao Siming ordered the cavalry battalion to stop the pursuit, hide on the spot, arrange a straggler line, and prepare to intercept.

Xiao Siming's order to Feng Li and the cavalry battalion was that they were only allowed to be captured alive, not killed!

The cavalry battalion of 300 men and horses, as soon as the straggler line was opened, a one-kilometer-wide blocking line was arranged on the road leading from Leling to Huimin. If Wang Zhaoming walks from here, generally speaking, he will not be able to escape.

Xiao Siming's judgment was very right, after all, Wang Zhaoming is the backbone of the Central Union, and his ability to counter the pursuit is very strong.

When it was almost dark, Wang Zhaoming took the opportunity to go to the toilet, returned to his residence, took his small suitcase, quickly left Leling City, and hid. It wasn't until it was dark that he began to run in the direction of Huimin.

Leling is the central base of the Eighth Route Army on the border of Hebei and Shandong, although the advance detachment has not been advancing into the border of Hebei and Shandong for a long time, but this is the era of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the little devils kill people and set fires, like beasts, the enthusiasm of the people for the War of Resistance is high, and the establishment of local political power and local armed forces by the Eighth Route Army is progressing very smoothly. The people in the border areas of Hebei and Shandong are still martial, and there are many weapons scattered among the people, and the militia teams in each village have some guns to some extent, and Wang Zhaoming naturally knows about this situation, so he neither dares to take the main road nor enter the village, so he can only identify the general direction and walk along the small road.

Because of avoiding the main road and taking the small road, Xiao Siming led the cavalry battalion to pursue with great fanfare, but just rushed along the main road, Wang Zhaoming didn't know that Xiao Siming personally led the cavalry battalion to chase him!

Although he didn't know that Xiao Siming personally led the cavalry battalion to chase him, Wang Zhaoming was experienced, and he could think of how the Eighth Route Army would react when he found out that he had escaped, and he hoped that the Eighth Route Army would find out a little later, a little later, so that he could run to Huimin, as long as he arrived in Huimin territory and entered the control area of Liu Jingliang's department, he would be safe.

On the Great Plains, the roads between counties are straight and the closest in a straight line. Wang Zhaoming was in a hurry to get to Huimin, so he naturally didn't want to run more, so he had to follow the road. It's just that others are alert and can't walk on the highway anymore, but on the side of the highway not far away on the small road, and the direction is good.

After running for a few hours, he finally ran to the area of the Nine Saints Hall at the junction of Leling and Yangxin, Wang Zhaoming felt tired and hungry, so he got into the green gauze tent, observed vigilantly for a while, and felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he took out the steamed bun from his pocket, put the Japanese-style kettle, and ate it.

After filling his stomach and looking at the deep night, the cool breeze, and the silence of insects, Wang Zhaoming thought that Lu Qi, who was grasping culture and education, seemed to be a teacher, and he was busy running the "Beacon Newspaper", maybe he was still crawling on the table, writing with a kerosene lamp, and carving wax boards, I am afraid that he had not found himself running away!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhaoming laughed in his heart that he was too cautious, and regarded a group of soil buns and teaching craftsmen as agents of the military and the central command! However, there is nothing wrong with being careful, it is better to be cautious!

Wang Zhaoming, who kept reminding himself to be cautious, did not turn to the main road after getting out of the green gauze tent, but still moved along the path, looking around vigilantly while walking briskly, for fear that there would be any disturbances.

Afraid of something, Wang Zhaoming was so careful, but he still bumped into the muzzle of the black hole hole in the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army!

When the soldiers brought Wang Zhaoming to Xiao Siming, Wang Zhaoming suddenly gave up, and he was not afraid, he didn't look at Xiao Siming, and said coldly: "You kill me!" ”

Xiao Siming shook his head and said, "I won't kill you!" The Eighth Route Army only kills devils and traitors, not people with lofty ideals of different parties who insist on resisting Japan! I'm here to chase you, I just want to have a good talk with you, I don't want to leave regrets! ”

When Wang Zhaoming heard that Xiao Siming had killed him, he was unexpected, and he was not afraid, so he sat on the ground with his butt in his hand, and he still carried the small suitcase in his hand and did not let go.

Xiao Siming's eyes swept and he knew that the small suitcase contained a secret radio station that only high-level intelligence officers would have.

Seeing that Wang Zhaoming was sitting on the ground, Xiao Siming waved his hand to ask the soldiers to stop pointing guns at him, and he also sat down, took out a cigarette, threw one to Wang Zhaoming, took out a match, lit it, and sucked it open.

After smoking a cigarette, Xiao Siming asked Wang Zhaoming, why did he run away?

Wang Zhaoming is also a single, and bluntly said that there is no conspiration between differences. The 31st Detachment of the Eighth Route Army has eaten, what is he still doing on the Jilu side? Waiting to be censored and shot?

Xiao Siming said that what Wang Zhaoming said was not right, it was not that the Tao was different and did not conspire with each other, but that all laws were one, whether it was the Communist Party or the Kuomintang Party, the current goal of struggle was the same, all for the purpose of resisting Japan and saving the country. It was also on the basis of resisting Japan and saving the country that the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and became part of the ****. How can it be said that there is no difference between them?

Wang Zhaoming is speechless!

Xiao Siming also said that China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a protracted war, and it was not something that could be won quickly in a day or two. Insist on Jilubian, even more so! This is the Great Plains, which is suitable for the movement of the Japanese army's mechanized troops, and once the little devils return to the division to besiege them, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War on the Jilu border will deteriorate in an instant. At the same time, many intellectuals in the Jilu Border Region have joined the Kuomintang and are a political force that cannot be underestimated. When the Eighth Route Army went deep behind enemy lines and persisted in the War of Resistance, it should unite these intellectuals who were members of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, instead of classifying them as dissidents. From this point of view, although Wang Zhaoming is a member of the Kuomintang * National, he cannot have prejudices against the Eighth Route Army, distinguish the Eighth Route Army from other national * army units, and look at the Eighth Route Army that insists on the War of Resistance with colored glasses!

Wang Zhaoming retorted: "Commander Xiao, you talk about a set of big truths, how can you be reasonable?" Since you are so broad-minded, you keep saying that the Eighth Route Army is part of the national army, and you keep saying that you want to unite the party members of the national * people * to resist Japan together, why do you want to reorganize the 31 teams with regular numbers? Why did you remove my deputy commander? ”

Xiao Siming patiently said that the reorganization of the 31st detachment was for the purpose of unifying command and better attacking the Japanese puppet army. Moreover, the 31st Detachment was developed by the party organization in the Hebei and Shandong borders, and it was normal for it to be reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. As for why Wang Zhaoming was removed from his post as deputy commander of the 31st Detachment, Xiao Siming said that it was because Wang Zhaoming did not understand military affairs and was not a military cadre, so he could make the best use of his talents when he was in charge of cultural, educational, and propaganda work in the Hebei-Shandong Border!

Wang Zhaoming almost broke out, saying that he graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu, and that no one in the Manchurian-Hebei-Shandong border region knew more about military affairs than him. But after all, he is the backbone of the Central Union, a veritable old spy, and he is a deep person, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Seeing that Wang Zhaoming did not refute again, Xiao Siming said: "Actually, you don't know the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army, and I and Political Commissar Wang. If you really knew us, I am afraid there would be no drama like tonight! ”

It is not that Wang Zhaoming does not understand the Communist Party, on the contrary, he understands it very deeply. Maybe his hands are stained with the blood of the Communists!

After listening for a while, Wang Zhaoming finally heard a hint of meaning, daring Xiao Siming really didn't come to arrest him and go back to punish him severely, but had the heart to recruit, wanting him to continue to stay on the Jilu border and fight with the Eighth Route Army!

Xiao Siming is still young, thinking about everyone for the good, only thinking that Wang Zhaoming's fate in history is a bit tragic, and he didn't think about it deeply, or he didn't think thoroughly about why Wang Zhaoming's tragic fate was caused.

Historically, if Wang Zhaoming had not led his team to defect, his fate would not have been much better. During the war years, you lived to the death, and how cruel the struggle was. Once Wang Zhaoming's true identity is revealed, how can he be tolerated in the Eighth Route Army? In the same way, there is no room for CCP personnel in ****, once discovered, there is no need to say the end, it can only be one word: miserable!

No, I heard what Xiao Siming meant to recruit himself again, so deep Wang Zhaoming was still energetic, and said that the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army violated the regulations of the Military Commission, privately left the theater to which it belonged, privately expanded the troops, and dared to set up a local political power in the Jilu border region and appoint a county magistrate, which is a typical sabotage of the anti-Japanese united front and a typical disobedience to military orders and government orders!

At this time, Xiao Siming realized that all his hard work was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and Wang Zhaoming not only did not appreciate it, but also went online and blamed it!

It seems that there is indeed a kind of person in the world who will not die until the heart of the Yellow River!

Seeing Wang Zhaoming arguing with Xiao Siming on his neck, Liu Zhaoming, the commander of the cavalry battalion, was annoyed, took out his saber and put it on Wang Zhaoming's neck, and said viciously: "This guy is a defector, he must have gone to surrender to the Japanese army as a traitor, and he can cut it!" ”

Wang Zhaoming was immediately frightened and silent, and he didn't dare to shout anymore.

Xiao Siming really wanted to recruit Wang Zhaoming and wanted to draw on Wang Zhaoming's work experience in the Central Unification to train the intelligence personnel of our army on the Hebei-Shandong border. Seeing that Wang Zhaoming's mind was full of the orthodox ideas of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, it was unreasonable, and he lost interest.

At this time, Wang Zhaoming just turned around and was willing to follow the Eighth Route Army, and Xiao Siming ignored him!

Xiao Siming stopped Liu Zhaoming, got up from the ground, reached out and patted the grass leaves and dust on his buttocks, and said to Wang Zhaoming: "Mr. Wang, since you think that our army has disobeyed military orders, then you should go to Wuhan to sue us." I just want to remind you that without our army's eastward advance to the Jilu border, there would be no current situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the Tianjin-Pudong railway controlled by the Japanese army would not have been paralyzed. Forget it, it's useless to talk too much with people like you, you go, I won't embarrass you. Take care! ”

After speaking, Xiao Siming didn't even pay attention to Wang Zhaoming, and really ordered the cavalry battalion to get on the horse and leave with the team!

Wang Zhaoming is not a sad literati, he is an old qualified spy of the Central Union!

Looking at the back of Xiao Siming and the cavalry battalion, Wang Zhaoming didn't stop for a moment, turned around and ran, and the speed of running was almost catching up with the rabbit! (To be continued.) )
