The 77th Episode: The Second Fight to Tang-eup

The two county brigades fought side by side, set up ambushes everywhere, intercepted the grain and materials transported by the enemy many times, and attacked the puppet army that went out of the city to loot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, and in one night, they set off at the same time, and each broke through, and took out the strongholds such as Gaomiao, Baima Temple, and Yangzhuang.

The anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians outside the city of Shen County further compressed the encirclement and imposed a siege and blockade on the enemy in the city. During the day, the enemy was blocked from leaving the city, and at night he shouted close to the city wall and launched a propaganda offensive. Li Haiquan and his gang were trapped in a lonely city, with no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside, and they were worried and suspicious all day long, fearing that they would be annihilated again.

On the night of November 8, under the response of the Japanese army in Liaocheng, Li Haiquan abandoned the county town of Xin and fled to Tangyi. At this point, Shen County was liberated again, and Li Haiquan struggled for a month.

The liberation of Shen County further expanded the anti-Japanese base areas in northwestern Shandong and strengthened the anti-Japanese forces, and the enemy was compressed in a few towns such as Liaocheng, Tangyi, Shazhen, and Yanggu.

In addition to Li Haiquan's escape to Tangyi, there is also a big villain, named Liu Liquan, the former deputy captain of the Shen County Puppet Garrison Brigade, he collected a group of escaped puppet troops, and withdrew to Liaocheng in October to be reorganized into the Dao Security Brigade, and he served as the captain.

Liu Liquan had four squadrons with a total of about 600 people, and he led this group of puppet troops to enter Tangyi County in November and became the backbone of the Tangyi guards.

At this time, the puppet army was no longer the same as in the past, and many people saw that their future was bleak, their morale was low, and they were just messing around every day. The fortress is easiest to attack from the inside, and the head of the intelligence station, Pan Xiaoan, thought about it and decided to attack from the enemy's inside. Thinking about it, he thought of Liu Liquan's third squadron leader, Zou Rongchuan.

Zou Rongchuan is a native of Shen County, and he is not too bad and does not have too many crimes. In his early years, he worked in the Shen County Puppet Garrison Brigade, and he was a fellow villager with Chu Zenglin of our enemy's engineering department. Pan Xiaoan sent Chu Zenglin to do his work, and after several contacts, Pan Xiaoan decided to enter the city in disguise himself, and under the introduction of Chu Zenglin, he and Zou Rongchuan finalized the relevant matters of the uprising.

Pan Xiaoan disguised himself as a businessman, wearing sunglasses and a robe, at that time, this was a very good outfit. Chu Zenglin pretended to be his buddy. The two of them came to Tangyi City, crossed the suspension bridge built of long wood, Pan Xiaoan looked at the blockade ditch under the bridge, it was indeed scary enough, it was four meters deep and five meters wide, although there was no water in the ditch, but if it fell, it would fall half to death.

Pan Xiaoan looked up at the tall city wall again, it was also four meters high, half brick and half billet, and there were several sentries swaying back and forth on it, and it was also five meters wide.

The two waited in line with the flow of people entering the city, and the north gate was heavily guarded, and several Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers were jointly responsible for the inspection of the north gate. The Japanese soldiers stood like puppets with guns, and the puppet army was bluffing and rummaging things, looking at the ones that were a little valuable, blowing the floating soil to find cracks, and trying to find ways to put things in their pockets.

When the two arrived, Pan Xiaoan took out the certificate of good citizenship that had been prepared a long time ago, and shook it in front of a puppet army. This puppet army still didn't give up, so he had to grab it and take a closer look, and looked around Pan Xiaoan's face before letting Pan Xiaoan go.

When they entered the city, the two saw a group of Japanese soldiers patrolling the street from time to time, and sometimes, there were puppet soldiers walking by with guns. There are not many people on the streets, and under the rule of the Japanese puppets, the residents rarely go out when they have nothing to do, but the police, spies, and puppet soldiers come and go, more than the common people.

The two entered the pre-agreed Laifu restaurant, which was sparsely populated, and there were not many ordinary people, but there were a few puppet soldiers and spies, and the two went to a single room on the second floor, where they were waiting for Zou Rongchuan.

After a while, Zou Rongchuan came alone, and Chu Zenglin hurriedly introduced, "This is Captain Zou." He hurriedly introduced Zou Rongchuan and said, "This is Boss Pan." ”

The two of them made a shudder and sat down to drink water. In order to cover up the conversation, Chu Zenglin immediately shouted: "Serve the food-" After a while, four dishes and a pot of wine came up, and the three of them were talking and drinking wine.

Pan Xiaoan whispered politely to Zou Rongchuan: "I won't talk about the situation, I'm afraid Xiao Chu has already explained it to you." I hope you can arouse the conscience of resisting Japan and saving the country and help us liberate the county seat of Tangyi. ”

Zou Rongchuan nodded and said, "If the Eighth Route attacks Tangyi City, my Third Squadron is willing to be your internal response and raise the banner to fight back." At present, our third squadron has a total of three squadrons, in addition to one squadron stationed at the brigade headquarters, the other two squadrons are on the city tower, responsible for the defense of the area from the north gate to the northeast corner. We can cooperate with you to ensure that not a single shot is fired while you are besieging the city. ”

The three of them were talking, when suddenly the curtain of the door was lifted, and a man walked in, with two plainclothes with cartridges and guns at his waist. When he entered the door, he shouted to Zou Rongchuan: "Captain Zou, why don't you call my brother when you drink, my brother is in a panic, and he came when he smelled the wine." ”

Pan Xiaoan didn't recognize this person, but Zou Rongchuan and Chu Zenglin did, this person was none other than Li Haiquan, the former pseudo-county magistrate of Shen County, who had fled from Shen County not long ago. He doesn't look like a county magistrate in Shen County, but when he arrives in Tangyi, he sends people under the fence, and his position is not easy to arrange.

Although he brought the hundred and ten people with him when he came, when he arrived here, he could only arrange an idle position and serve as a consultant in Tangyi County. The team was commanded by Hu Yunan, the magistrate of Tangyi County, and he became one more and one less character. For this reason, he was full of complaints, broken jars, and wanted to scold his mother wherever he went.

Li Haiquan came uninvited, and there was an accident for the three of them, because it was Zou Rongchuan, he was secretly anxious, in case he saw the flaws, he could only eat and leave. But there was no other way to be anxious, so I had to humbly say: "Li County is here, please sit, please sit, my dishes are shabby, how dare I invite you to come!" ”

Zou Rongchuan actually let go, but Li Haiquan was not polite, he was heavy, and he didn't want to leave as soon as he sat down on his seat: "Anyway, I'm idle, so I might as well sit here and have a drink, and pull it casually." ”

Without being persuaded by others, he picked up Zou Rongchuan's wine glass and drank it dry, then picked up the vegetables, glanced at Pan Xiaoan and Chu Zenglin, and asked: "I think these two are a little faceless, Captain Zou will introduce you?" ”

Zou Rongchuan's heart was even more anxious, as soon as this Li Haiquan mixed up and said bad things, the two eight roads were exposed. exposed the eight roads, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and he didn't have any good fruit to eat. But now, there is nothing I can do, so I have to smile and say: "This is my fellow countryman, Xiao Chu, this is a boss I just met, doing business." ”

"What kind of business are you doing, and you will give me Lala too?" Li Haiquan stared at Pan Xiaoan's eyes and asked.

When Pan Xiaoan heard it, although he had never seen this person, he took the train - one station and one station, this is the notorious murderer Li Haiquan who is against the Eighth Route Army! You have to deal with it carefully, and if you don't get it right, it will fall into his hands. Pan Xiaoan smiled and said: "What else can you do to do business, what is lacking!" ”

Li Haiquan approached Pan Xiaoan's face and said, "Did you do this?" As he spoke, he took out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and made a figure of eight.

If it were someone else, he would be shocked into a cold sweat, and the little cowardly would be scared to pee. But what did Pan Xiaoan do, he had been tested for a long time, and he was an actor, he smiled and said: "County Magistrate Li really exalted me, I just want to do the Eighth Road, do people want me from the Eighth Road?" ”

This ambiguous and unfathomable sentence, Li Haiquan also smiled and said, "I don't look like you." ”

Hearing this, Zou Rongchuan and Chu Zenglin breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Li Haiquan pressed forward step by step and asked, "What kind of business are you doing, say?" ”

Pan Xiaoan was also a little anxious, he was forcing others, but he didn't expect to be forced to speak by this dog traitor. Pan Xiaoan smiled and said: "Nowadays, it is not easy to do business but not to do it, support the bold to death, starve to death the little guts, what to make money!" ”

This is another sentence that can be explained no matter how it is explained, Li Haiquan nodded, still pressing: "It's not in the arms business!" ”

Pan Xiaoan thought about it, if I want to say that if I want to do arms, then I will commit a big taboo! This Li Haiquan will arrest me immediately. Pan Xiaoan shook his head and said, "We don't dare to do that deal." We're just trading in black market grain. ”

Food was an important strategic material at that time, but the army and the common people needed it, and of course, some people took risks and did everything possible to dump food. Li Haiquan smiled, put his hand into the sleeve of his coat, and only handed the sleeve to Pan Xiaoan and said, "Come on, touch it." A bucket of wheat, what price do you sell? ”

This touch is two people talking about the price in the sleeve, and the third person next to them never knows what they are talking about. This is not only Li Haiquan's test for Pan Xiaoan, but also shows that Li Haiquan was originally the chief of the construction section of Shen County, an old and treacherous profiteer. Pan Xiaoan stretched out his finger.

Li Haiquan shook his head again and again and said, "One zero, no, no, no!" ”

Pan Xiaoan stretched out his index finger hook again. Li Haiquan shook his head again and again and said, "No, no." ”

Pan Xiaoan changed again, and the index finger hook became the thumb and index finger. Li Haiquan still shook his head again and again and said, "No, no,"

Pan Xiaoan had no choice but to scratch his palm with his index finger again. Li Haiquan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I look at this price!" When I have time, I will look for you and leave a contact information. ”

Stretching out your fingers, there is nothing from one to five, which is almost the same as explicit. It is six to nine to talk about the head, the so-called pinching seven, card eight, hook nine, six scratcher, is to touch the fingers.

When Pan Xiaoan was talking to Zou Rongchuan about the uprising, he negotiated a "deal" with Li Haiquan.

Go back and report this matter to Zhao Jianmin and Han Xingyi. Han Xing first said: "This Li Haiquan is not a good bird, treacherous and slippery, and ruthless. If you really want to get food, he won't give money or say anything, and if you can't get it, you will arrest our people. ”

Zhao Jianmin also reminded: "Dealing with Li Haiquan, we have two more hearts!" ”
