Headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Division Commander Liu Bocheng looked at the military map hanging on the wall and saw the blue arrows on the map, and his brows furrowed. The tea in the iron porcelain cup in his hand was steaming, this cup of tea was poured for him by the guard Xiao Wang ten minutes ago, but he hadn't drunk it until now. Seeing that the boss was so exhausted, Xiao Wang's heart was very uncomfortable. However, as the commander-in-chief of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, he had to personally inquire about matters large and small, not to mention that what he was thinking about now was such a major event as attacking the city and pulling out the village. Looking at the place on the map that was circled by himself with a scripture pen, Liu Bocheng became more and more engrossed.

Peng County, located at the junction of Jin and Shandong, is an important node connecting Shandong and Shanxi, the geographical location is very important, and it is in the center of the military to connect the Quartet. Although it is only a small county, it is like an overpass connecting the important transportation hubs that run through North and East China. And now this place is being guarded by heavy troops, which is equivalent to cutting off the connection between East China and North China.

Since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the 129th Division has liberated and recovered countless cities with the momentum of breaking bamboos, but it has not taken action only in the face of this Peng County, not because of the thousands of troops stationed in Peng County, but because the entire North China and even East China have paid close attention to this county.

The 129th Division also tried to send troops to recover this important place, but often as soon as it moved, the enemy was aware of it, so this Peng County was still under the occupation of the army. But now the situation has changed drastically, and the central government has issued the final order, which must take Peng County, so that the whole of North China will be connected from now on. So in the past few days, Liu Bocheng has been thinking about how to take Peng County unknowingly.

Not long ago, he also got the latest information about Peng County, a bandit force called Feilong Village actually annihilated a brigade of Peng County's army, and was constantly causing trouble for Peng County. Although he was also surprised by the strength of this Flying Dragon Village. But in terms of the overall situation, Feilongzhai's move was to sabotage his plan, and if they made such a fuss, the eyes of the entire North China army would once again gather on Peng County, which made it more difficult for him to implement his siege plan.

Just when Liu Bocheng was thinking hard but couldn't find a good solution, the deputy division commander Xu Qianqian walked in. Seeing Xu Xiangqian's excited expression, Liu Bocheng asked casually: "Old Xu, why are you so happy today, you have picked up the money?" ”

Xu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Lao Liu, I'm much happier than picking up money." If I told you, I guess you'd be happier than I was. ”

Liu Bocheng lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with interest: "Oh, is it? Then you can talk about it and see if it can really make me happy, I will be worried about not knowing how to attack Peng County, it can be said that it is simply anxious. ”

Xu Xiangqian smiled: "The matter I told you happened to be the matter of Peng County." I promise you'll be thrilled for three days and three nights without sleep. ”

Liu Bocheng pouted and said, "Unless you tell me that Peng County has been captured now, I really can't get excited." ”

Xu Xiangqian said with a smile: "Lao Liu, I really let you tell me, Peng County was really captured, and the army stationed in Peng County suffered heavy casualties this time, and even Kameda Ichiro, the big Zuo, was killed." ”

"Bang dang!" The teacup in Liu Bocheng's hand fell to the ground, and the tea in the cup splashed him, as the commander of the 129th Division, Liu Bocheng was known for his calmness, and he used to be calm about the frequent reports of good news, and even others could not see the fluctuations in the expression on his face, but at this moment, when he heard the news, he was completely shocked. The guard Xiao Wang saw that the chief was affected by the boiling water, so he hurriedly rushed over and asked with concern: "Chief, are you okay, are you burning?" As he spoke, he used the dry towel in his hand to help Liu Bocheng wipe the tea stains on his clothes and pants.

Liu Bocheng waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wang, I'm not in the way, you go and get busy with yours." ”

Xiao Wang Wu said uneasily: "Chief, are you really okay?" ”

Liu Bocheng smiled and nodded. Xiao Wang put down a hanging heart, squatted down, picked up the teacup that the chief had dropped on the ground just now, and poured a cup of hot tea again, and put it on the table.

Liu Bocheng walked up to Xu Qianqian, stretched out his hand to pull him to the table, and said, "Old Xu, quickly, sit down and say, what the hell is going on, why was Peng County captured, we haven't heard any rumors, is this news reliable?" Don't tell me, you were just joking with me, if that's the case, I won't show mercy to you, the deputy division commander. Liu Bocheng couldn't believe that the news he heard was true, he hadn't slept well for this Peng County in the past few days, and he was thinking about how to attack the city all day long, but he never thought that when he was at a loss, suddenly the good news came, Peng County had been captured. For him to believe and accept this fact at once, he really couldn't do it.

As soon as Xu Xiangqian sat down, Xiao Wang came over with two cups of tea and put them down at the table in front of the two of them. Xu picked up the hot tea in front of him and was about to take a sip, Liu Bocheng couldn't wait and said, "Old Xu, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" ”

Xu Xiangqian smiled: "Oh, look at you in a hurry, can't I drink saliva first?" Is this still the zombie-faced commander-in-chief of our 129th Division? In the past, when you heard which city was captured and which little devil commander was killed, you had a natural expression, but what happened today? Could it be that the parts in our master's body can't be replaced? ”

Liu Bocheng said eagerly: "Lao Xu, you deliberately hung my appetite, didn't you?" Be careful that I tell my brother and sister about the last time you secretly drank here, and ask her to treat you well. ”

Xu Xiangqian was suddenly defeated and said, "Good, good, good." My master, alas, I tell you that it is not possible? Really, it grabbed me a little bit of pigtail and didn't let go, it was too insidious. ”

Liu Bocheng smiled: "This is called strategy. Hey. ”

Xu Xiangqian took out a telegram from his arms and handed it to Liu Bocheng: "This is the telegram I just received from Peng County, Lao Zhao and they said that they saw Kameda Ichiro being killed with their own eyes. ”

Uncle Liu took the telegram, opened it and looked at it carefully. When he saw that it was Feilong Village that captured Peng County, a shocked expression appeared on his face again, his eyes stared at the words "Feilong Village" on the telegram, and he couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, Liu Bocheng exhaled a breath and continued to look down, it's okay not to look at it, the more he looks down, the more shocked he is in his heart.

Feilongzhai, with more than 600 people and less than 700, has a mountain howitzer as a heavy weapon, captures the county town with zero casualties, captures more than 1,000 prisoners of the army, and captures alive the supreme commander of the army in Peng County, Kameda Ichiro. Looking at the events and situations listed on this telegram, Liu Bocheng felt that he was reading a mythological novel, which was simply unbelievable. Looking at this telegram, Liu Bocheng's first instinct was: Could it be that this little book in Peng County is all paper paste?

Liu Bocheng tried his best to calm down the turmoil in his heart before he raised his head and asked Xu Xiangqian: "Old Xu, what is said in this telegram is true?" ”

Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, knowing that he still refused to believe these facts. However, Xu Xiangqian also understood that when he saw this telegram just now, he was also startled, and he didn't believe what the telegram said at all. But after thinking about it, Zhao Chuan was an old underground party member, and he had a strong sense of organization and discipline, and he couldn't exaggerate and falsely report such important information, so he sent this telegram to Liu Bocheng as soon as possible.

Xu Xiangqian said: "Lao Liu, do we still need to doubt the authenticity of this telegram?" It's not that you and I don't know what kind of person Lao Zhao is. He wouldn't have sent out such important information. ”

Liu Bocheng sighed: "If it is really as this intelligence says, this Feilong Village only used 600 people to capture the county seat and capture Kameda Ichiro alive, then this Zhang Dongbei is really amazing." This kind of character has never been talked about before. It was as if he had been born out of nowhere, and suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. "For the situation of Feilong Village, Liu Bocheng still knows better, the prestige of Feilong Village began to spread only two or three months ago, the previous Feilong Village is really just a nest of bandits, although there is blood, but it is too scattered, can not become a climate. The reason why Feilongzhai has been reborn is that people with a discerning eye know that it is entirely because of the appearance of Zhang Dongbei.

Xu Xiangqian said with a smile: "We have a lot of land and resources in China, and there are countless strange people. This Northeast is one of them. ”

Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "If there were a few more such strange people in China, how could that little devil dare to be so rampant, and he would have fled back to his hometown with his tail between his legs." Lao Xu, send a telegram to Lao Zhao, asking him to win this Zhang Dongbei into the ranks of our Eighth Route Army, and now Zhang Dongbei led Feilongzhai to capture Peng County, presumably the eyes planted by the Kuomintang in Peng County have also sent his situation to the past, this kind of talent is not only needed by our Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang will not let go. Therefore, we must establish contact with this Zhang Dongbei as soon as possible, understand him with reason, move him with affection, and win him into our team in the fastest and safest way. ”

Xu Xiangqian nodded and said, "Then I'll go over now and ask them to send a report to Lao Zhao." He stood up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Liu Bocheng hurriedly said: "Slow Lao Xu, if you tell Lao Zhao, just say let him get in touch with this Zhang Dongbei first, let him tell Zhang Dongbei, and say that I will take the time to go to Peng County in person in the past two days and talk to Zhang Dongbei in person." ”

Xu Xiangqian was startled and said, "Lao Liu, you're not joking, are you, you want to go to Peng County in person?" Not to mention that the situation outside is so dangerous now, it is not appropriate for you, the division commander, to personally meet a bandit in person, and if you let the chairman know, he will not agree to you taking the risk alone. ”

Liu Bocheng said: "Lao Xu, let me ask you, if our 129th Division wants to capture Peng County, can it be so unaware, can it capture Peng County with a number of 600 people, and can it achieve such a glorious record as zero casualties?" ”

Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "None of these three things are possible." ”

Liu Bocheng said: "So, to a certain extent, this Zhang Dongbei is even more valuable than me, the commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. I believe that if this Zhang Dongbei had been in the 129th Division of our Eighth Route Army before, then maybe the person who is sitting in the position of division commander now will not be me anymore. ”

Xu Xiangqian was shocked, he didn't expect this Zhang Dongbei to be so important in Liu Bocheng's heart. However, he did not completely agree with what Liu Bocheng said, after all, being able to fight and being able to lead troops to fight are completely different things.

Looking at the determined look on Liu Bocheng's face, Xu Xiangqian knew that it was useless to persuade him even if he persuaded him again, so he said: "Okay, then I'll go and send a report now and convey your meaning to Lao Zhao and them." ”

Liu Bocheng nodded, but he was thinking about Zhang Dongbei in his heart. What kind of character is he, and how could such a person become a bandit?
