Peng Youming shook his head, looked up at the skylight above the cell, and said with a wry smile: "What can you think of to get me out?" Ye Tufei, calm down, be sensible, don't make any more senseless sacrifices for me! ”

Ye Tufei couldn't convince Peng Youming for a while, and he didn't want to delay time on this issue, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "Old Peng, is there something wrong with you internally?" ”

Peng Youming sighed heavily, his eyes fixed on the skylight above, and he didn't say a word.

Following Peng Youming's gaze, Ye Tufei saw a sparrow standing on the edge of the window frame that day, happily looking for food.

"People die for money, birds die for food, I really didn't expect that an old comrade with more than ten years of party experience would be so greedy for life and afraid of death. It's all my fault for being negligent, and it's all to blame for my indecision, which has caused so much loss to the party and the organization. ”

After being silent for a long time, Peng Youming said this sentence slowly, and before the words fell, his face was full of tears.

Ye Tufei was a little anxious, and paced in the cell: "Old Peng, if you don't like what you say, it's useless to regret it!" The most important thing now is to get rid of this person, otherwise, you will have a greater loss! ”

Peng Youming changed the sad look just now, his eyes were like torches, and he replied categorically: "After my accident, the organization has launched an emergency plan, and this person will not have a few days to live." ”

Ye Tufei was stunned for a moment and said, "Just when I came over, Yamashita Keigo also said that he had just captured one of your female comrades. ”

Ye Tufei knew that Peng Youming was already in prison, and it was impossible for him to know what was going on outside, but he still couldn't help it, so he still had to ask Peng Youming.

Ouyang Xueping, the woman who once occupied an important position in his life, seemed to be forgotten for a period of time afterward. However, when danger appeared, Ye Tufei still had a heart for her.

Peng Youming shook his head and said, "It's Ouyang, I'm sorry, Brother Ye, I couldn't protect her." ”

Ye Tufei was almost mad, and asked, "Didn't you say that your organization has already activated the emergency plan?" Why was Ouyang Xueping still arrested? ”

Peng Youming sighed and replied with regret: "Ouyang She was arrested at the same time as me. ”

Ye Tufei turned his head in pain, and two lines of tears burst out.

When Ye Tufei eased up a little, Peng Youming told Ye Tufei what had happened during this time.

When he was in Erlang Mountain, Hu Xiaozhou submitted a report of distrust of Ye Tufei to the organization because he learned that Ye Tufei had joined the military command, and asked the organization to screen Ye Tufei. When the party group held a meeting to study this issue, Peng Youming, Yan Xiwen, and Wei Xiangdong all held different opinions.

However, Ye Tufei admitted it, which made Peng Yanwei and the others very passive.

This matter was information from Ouyang Xueping, and Ouyang Xueping also stood on Hu Xiaozhou's side.

Although Peng Youming had a big opinion on Hu Xiaozhou's suggestion from his heart, he thought of the task he entrusted to Ye Tufei, and also felt that this was an opportunity, so he acquiesced to Hu Xiaozhou's screening of Ye Tufei.

During this period, Peng Youming received an order from above that he needed to go far away, and when he came back, he learned how Hu Xiaozhou treated Ye Tufei.

However, Hu Xiaozhou took advantage of the truth on the surface, after all, Ye Tufei's departure could be attributed to absconding.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter was still known to many brothers in the bandit camp, and since then, Hu Xiaozhou's prestige in the team has been declining, and even to the point of being despised by everyone.

In order to restore the party's image in this ranks, Peng Youming reported that after asking his superiors for approval, Hu Xiaozhou was transferred from Erlang Mountain.

Hu Xiaozhou was transferred to Lingbi Mountain by the organization to serve as the director of the political department of Lu Yao's department, but Hu Xiaozhou was quite emotional about this transfer, and found many excuses to stay in Erlang Mountain.

The stalemate lasted until last week, and Hu Xiaozhou had no choice but to set off under the strict orders of his superiors, but it was such a coincidence that Hu Xiaozhou encountered a small group of Japanese troops on the road.

It stands to reason that on the nearly 300-mile road from Erlang Mountain to Lingbi Mountain, it is normal to encounter one or two Japanese troops.

However, when Hu Xiaozhou was in Erlang Mountain, not only because of the low prestige caused by the festival with Ye Tufei, but also because he could not command the war at all, for this reason, Hu Xiaozhou always felt wronged. This time he encountered a small group of Japanese troops, and when Hu Xiaozhou saw that the number of people on his side was more than double that of small Japan, he had the idea of eating this small group of Japanese troops.

How easy is the battle!

Hu Xiaozhou commanded the reinforced platoon that escorted him, but not only did not eat this Japanese army, but was bitten by others, and he couldn't get rid of it until the reinforcements from Little Japan arrived.

A reinforced platoon returned only three fighters.

Hu Xiaozhou was injured and arrested, and the organization immediately launched rescue work, but he did not expect that Hu Xiaozhou could not survive even three days, so he surrendered to Little Japan.

The Japanese who received Hu Xiaozhou's confession were overjoyed and immediately prepared a clean-up operation against Lingbi Mountain and Erlang Mountain. Peng Youming got this information and rushed to Xuzhou City in person, hoping to find out the battle plan of the Japanese.

Peng Youming also relied on Hu Xiaozhou's ignorance of underground work to make such a risk.

But unexpectedly, one of Peng Youming's traffic officers was recognized by Hu Xiaozhou, that is, through this traffic officer, Yamashita Keigo finally waited for the rabbit and caught Peng Youming.

"When I was surrounded by Little Japan, I suddenly remembered that my traffic officer used to work with Hu Xiaozhou. Hey, it's all my fault for being negligent! ”

Although Ye Tufei judged that there must be a traitor by Peng Youming's side, he never expected that this traitor turned out to be a high-spirited Hu Xiaozhou, at that moment, he really didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

"It's been so long, and your people haven't gotten rid of him, huh? Lao Peng, if you agree, I am willing to do this. ”

Hu Xiaozhou nodded silently.

"Lao Peng, according to my observation, I'm afraid that this operation of Little Japan will start in the next day or two, I wonder if Commander Lu and Erlang Mountain are ready?"

Peng Youming's expression was gloomy, and he replied: "Some preparations must have been made, but it may not be enough to say that it is done well." Little Japan received information from Hu Xiaozhou this time, and they knew very well the situation in our two base areas, and they had made a bloody effort in this operation, and they had assembled no less than five infantry brigades, three artillery brigades, and an armored brigade......

Peng Youming was talking here, and Ye Tufei was thinking that the number of troops gathered by Little Japan was all odd, which showed that they must have been biased in the distribution of troops in this operation, so which one was the focus of Little Japan's attack, Lingbi Mountain or Erlang Mountain?

Peng Youming seemed to see Ye Tufei's thoughts, he sighed and said, "Don't think about it, even if you determine the focus of Little Japan's attack, what can you do?" Even if you can pull Han Hongxun in and fight together with the three parties, what chance of victory can you have? Tufei, this time Little Japan is ruthless, I'm afraid that none of our Lingbi Mountain and Erlang Mountain can be saved! ”

Saying such frustrating words from Peng Youming's mouth, Ye Tufei encountered it for the first time, he looked at Peng Youming in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Peng Youming didn't care about Ye Tufei's feelings at all, and continued to speak according to his train of thought: "That day, the gray mule contacted me, and before I saw the gray mule, I was about to send a telegram to the base area, telling them not to come hard this time, immediately organize the team, and withdraw from the base area in a hierarchical manner to avoid its edge. But the Grey Mule has brought me your plan, and if it can be completed before the Japanese action, it may be possible to crush the little Japanese operation. If it can't be completely crushed, it can at least disrupt little Japan's battle plan. ”

Peng Youming's analysis was good, and Ye Tufei couldn't help but nod his head in agreement when he heard it.

"The gray mule had been on the road all night, and when he saw me, he was so hungry that he had to get him something to eat, and while he was eating, he sent a telegram to Erlang Mountain, and told them to get ready. Hey, it's self-defeating! What I'm most worried about now is that Erlang Mountain will lose time to retreat and transfer because of this telegram! ”

Ye Tufei was taken aback.

Peng Youming was right, the heavy troops gathered by Little Japan this time were definitely not something that could be matched by the forces of Lingbi Mountain and Erlang Mountain, and the only strategy was to not be able to provoke and hide. However, if the brothers of Erlangshan delayed the time to retreat and transfer because of that telegram, the consequences would be ......

"Lao Peng, take care of yourself, hold on for a few more days, I'll go to Erlang Mountain, and I'll find a way to save you when I come back." Ye Tufei patted Peng Youming's shoulder, stood up and was about to walk out.

Peng Youming was slapped by Ye Tufei inadvertently, pulled to the injury, grinned in pain, he forcibly held back the pain in his heart, and grabbed Ye Tufei: "Tufei, listen to me, compared to the burden on your body, what can our loss be counted?" You can't go, you can't bury the foundation you've so hard to lay now. ”

Ye Tufei threw a cold look at Peng Youming.

For Peng Youming, Ye Tufei respects him in his heart as a bright and upright man, this person can suffer losses or even grievances by himself, in order to organize a good situation of joint resistance against Japan, but he also has the characteristics that Ye Tufei can't bear, that is, the so-called organizational discipline, which is the idea of focusing on the overall situation that he just mentioned.

"I can tell you unequivocally, Lao Peng, after the First World War of Nomenkan, the Japanese will never provoke the Soviet Union again, let alone large-scale offensive operations, not now, and not in the future. Also, sooner or later, the Japanese will expand this war, they will go south to attack the South Seas, attack the Philippines, attack Southeast Asia, and declare war on the United States and Britain, and this time will not be too long, maybe early next year, maybe the end of next year, but it will certainly not be delayed until the year after next. ”

After Ye Tufei said this, he suddenly felt a lot brighter in his heart, he cleared his throat, and then said: "You communists are willing to make self-sacrifices, and you can sacrifice your lives for the sake of the overall situation. But I can't do it, Ye Tufei, for the sake of this plan of yours, I have already abandoned my brothers, I can't watch them suffer the massacre of Little Japan, and I live alone. Okay, Lao Peng, I'm not talking nonsense, if I can come back alive from Erlang Mountain, I will definitely rescue you from here. ”
