Gu Zhenghai interrupted: "It's not that he doesn't like power, but he knows in his heart that he is a member of the party, and a member of the party should have the appearance of a party member and know what he should do." ”

On the evening of March 27, Hong Yu entered the vicinity of Xiaofeng with the independent group.

"Captain!"

When Hong Yu heard the shout, he immediately stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Seeing Gao Tie and Qian Duoduo running over from a distance, the two of them saluted Hong Yu. Hong Yu asked, "Are you all right?!" ”

Qian Duoduo replied with a smile: "We are all fine. We have built some houses according to your orders. Saying that, Qian Duoduo looked at the high-speed rail. Hong Yu looked at the two of them and said, "Just say what you have!" Don't hide it! ”

Gao Tie said: "The devils often sweep Tianmu Mountain, so in order to reduce the target, we don't dare to build too much, but we dig a lot of nests that can live in people." ”

Hong Yu said: "The south is very humid, and it doesn't matter if the soldiers live in the underground nest for a day or two, they will get cold and sick if they live too much. This can easily affect combat effectiveness. Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the two, Hong Yu continued: "Let's not talk about this for now. You lead the way. We have to get into the mountains as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" After Gao Tie and Qian Duoduo saluted Hong Yu, they turned around and ran to the front of the team.

Gu Zhenghai and Zhang Guohua walked over. Looking at the figures of the two, Zhang Guohua said: "It seems that the situation in Tianmu Mountain is even more difficult than we imagined!" ”

Hong Yu said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to face it with a smile!" ”

After walking for more than three hours, under the guidance of Gao Tie, Qian Duoduo and the guard company, the main force of the independent regiment drove into Tianmu Mountain.

After settling the troops, Hong Yu took Gu Zhenghai and Zhang Guohua into the temporary regiment headquarters prepared for them by Qian Duoduo. As soon as the three of them sat down, Qian Duoduo, Lin Xiaoshan and Gao Tie sounded: "Report!" ”

"Come in!"

Qian Duoduo, Lin Xiaoshan and Gao Tie got Hong Yu's permission and walked quickly into the regiment headquarters.

Hong Yu motioned for the three of them to sit down, and said: "Through the telegram you sent, we have some understanding of the situation here, but it is not comprehensive, while you have time now, the three of you will introduce the situation here to us in detail!" ”

"Good! Let me introduce you! Qian Duoduo took out the map that had been prepared a long time ago, spread it on the table, and said: "Tianmu Mountain is located at the junction of Zhejiang and Anhui, and is divided into East Tianmu Mountain and West Tianmu Mountain. After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, it swept the East and West Tianmu Mountains and the surrounding villages and towns. Every time they swept up, the Japanese army burned, killed and looted, and then retreated, and the longest occupation time did not exceed two days. As a result, most of the remaining people in the surrounding villages are old people, women and children. There are almost no young adults. ”

Zhang Guohua looked at Hong Yu and said, "Commander, this place in Tianmu Mountain is good, but without young adults, our troops will not be able to develop." This is very bad news for us! ”

Hong Yu nodded slightly, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, then put the cigarette case on the table, and said, "You go on!" ”

Qian Duoduo nodded slightly and said, "In front of us, there is the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, and the headquarters of the division is in Hangzhou. To the north of us, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army is stationed, and the headquarters of this division is in Anqing. To our northwest is the Third Theater of the Nationalist Army. In other words, we are now in the middle of the Japanese army and the national army. ”

Gu Zhenghai frowned and said, "I only know now why the new group has been developing here for so long, and finally has to give up here. Saying that, Gu Zhenghai looked at Hong Yu and asked, "Hong Yu, what do you think?!" ”

Hong Yu lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, and said thoughtfully: "The so-called gentleman is not conducive to the dangerous wall, on the surface, we are in the middle of the devil and the national army, except for the geographical advantage, we have no advantage. But it is precisely this point that the devils and the national army would never have imagined that our New Fourth Army would return here again. Since we can't get replenishment of forces in a short time. Then let's just break the troops into pieces and scatter them out! ”

"Break it to zero?!" Gu Zhenghai muttered unconsciously.

"Yes!" Hong Yu said: "It's like the devil's special operations force, with squads as units, scattered in all directions. If there are few devils, we will eat them. There are many devils, so we use the terrain to attract some devils, and some contact the surrounding troops, and then destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Lin Xiaoshan and Qian Duoduo immediately heard the meaning of Hong Yu's words, the two glanced at each other, and Lin Xiaoshan said: "Regiment commander, you mean to train all our fighters into special operations forces?!" ”

Hong Yu smiled and asked rhetorically, "Why not?!" ”

Qian Duoduo said thoughtfully: "Regiment commander, you told us before about the firepower configuration of the special operations forces, and we can't meet this requirement at all!" ”

"The current situation is only temporary, and I believe it will change soon," Hong said. Saying that, Hong Yu looked at Gu Zhenghai and Zhang Guohua and said, "Two political commissars, I don't think it's too early, let's get here first today!" ”

"Good! Let's get here first. The three of you are also tired from the day today, so rest early! After Gu Zhenghai sent Qian Duoduo and the three of them away, he looked at Hong Yu and asked, "When are you going to Shanghai?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "I have just arrived at the base now. A lot of things haven't been put in place yet. After the affairs of the base area were straightened out, he led the team to Shanghai. Saying that, Hong Yu pondered for a while, and then said: "If it's fast, a month later." Slowly, after three months. ”

Zhang Guohua said: "Regiment leader, I have to remind you that we are running out of food. Food must be found as soon as possible. Otherwise, in ten days, we will be hungry! ”

Hong Yu said: "There are two reasons why the devils have swept the Tianmu Mountain area many times. One is that the devils are not strong enough to garrison troops here. The second is to gather troops to have food, without food, there will be no surplus people to feed here. Then the devil will feel safe. There are only two places where we want to get enough food. One is Wuxing, where the devil built a grain depot. There is a stock of most of the food that the devils are going to use for the spring sweep. Another place is Lin'an. There's a backup warehouse for devils there. ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "A large number of devils have gathered in these two places, and it is not a simple matter to get food from these two places. Saying that, Gu Zhenghai looked at Hong Yu and asked, "Regiment commander, no matter what, you are a major general of the military command." Can you use this identity to get food from the Third War Zone?! ”

Zhang Guohua said: "Lao Gu, it's not me who splashes you with cold water. If you want to get food from Gu Zhutong's hands, it is simply a fool's dream. I think it's more reliable to get food from devils. ”

Hong Yu groaned slightly: "Old Gu, you want to find a way to contact our comrades in Wuxing and Lin'an, and help us figure out the deployment of the devils in these two places as soon as possible. ”

"No problem with this! I'll do it right away! After that, Gu Zhenghai ran out of the regiment headquarters. After Gu Zhenghai left, Zhang Guohua asked, "Commander, do you really plan to attack these two places?!" ”

Hong Yu nodded heavily and said, "Now I can only use my brain from these two places." ”

Zhang Guohua asked: "We have just arrived here, we have not yet gained a firm foothold, if we attack any of these two places, we will be retaliated by the devils, and then we will really be in a dilemma!" ”

Hong Yu said: "Don't let the devil take revenge on us." The only way to do this is to bring disaster to the east. Dress up as someone from the Third War Zone and lead the devils to the Third War Zone. Only in this way can we win a chance to breathe. ”

Zhang Guohua asked: "What if the devil is not fooled?!" ”

Hong Yu sighed and said, "It's up to people to make things happen." As long as we do our own thing, the rest can only depend on whether God helps us. After saying that, Hong Yu unconsciously smiled bitterly, said hello to Zhang Guohua, and walked outside the regiment headquarters. Zhang Guohua was left alone in a daze at the regiment headquarters.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the headquarters of the Tianmu Mountain Independent Regiment was full. Gu Zhenghai, who was sitting on the rostrum, saw that everyone had arrived, and said to Hong Yu: "Leader, let's start the meeting!" ”

"Good!" Hong Yu responded.

Gu Zhenghai stood up and said, "Comrades, today is the first day that our independent delegation arrived at Tianmu Mountain. When you go to a new place, you must have a new atmosphere and a new look! Some time ago, we had a fight with devils in Jiugong Mountain. In this battle, our independent regiment can be described as a wounding of muscles and bones. Although we won in the end, we exposed a lot of problems in this battle. Since there is a problem, then we must solve it. After deliberations, it was decided to reorganize the Independent Regiment. The original independent regiment training camp was changed to a teaching team. Comrade Zhang Guohua and I will be responsible. The establishment of the police communication company, the female soldier company and the artillery company directly under the regiment remains unchanged. In the other three main regiments, all the soldiers were disorganized and reorganized, and all the officers entered the teaching team to study. ”

Hearing Gu Zhenghai's words, the officers again began to discuss with each other. At this time, Hong Yu stood up, put his hands flat and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet. The people sitting below quieted down when they saw Hong Yu's gestures. Hong Yu continued: "The post of commander of the first battalion has always been concurrently held by Comrade Tang Xingye, deputy commander of the regiment, and the post of commander of the second battalion has been concurrently held by Comrade Gao Ming, chief of staff of the regiment. The vacant positions of the two battalion commanders will also be selected from among all of you here and the reserve cadres of the original training battalion! I hope that all the comrades present here will show their abilities well in the coming month. With that, Hong Yu sat down.

Gu Zhenghai continued: "Everyone heard the words of the head of the regiment. I won't add anything else. But there is one thing I have to warn you about. This month is very important for us to stand alone. He has a bearing on whether or not our independent regiment can gain a firm foothold here. ”
