When Zhang Xiaosan heard this, he felt a little surprised, and said to Han Xing: "Deputy Commander Han, even if you are not the deputy commander of the Liaocheng guerrillas, you are still the director of the Industrial Bureau, or the logistics minister of the 10th detachment, besides, I also heard that I once wanted to announce that you are the deputy commander of the 10th detachment, but because it was announced that you are the deputy commander of the guerrilla corps in Liaocheng, the deputy commander of the 10th detachment did not announce it. No matter what you say, you are my superior, you are my leader, and it is the duty of our guard company to protect your safety. Escaping from the battle and giving up my duties, I, Zhang Xiaosan, am afraid that I will not do this, and the branch will not agree. ”

Zhang Xiaosan leaked his mouth as he spoke, and poked the branch out.

It is the glorious tradition of the party that the branch is built on the company, and it is precisely because of this branch that the company cannot be dragged down or defeated. The outer layer of the branch is all the party members, the outer layer of the party members is all the activists who have joined the party, and the periphery of the activists unites all the fighters. Han Xing is a person from the past, how can he not know the mystery here.

Han Xing said sincerely to Zhang Xiaosan: "I take the liberty of saying it, can you call your branch secretary out, and I will have a few words with him?" ”

Only then did Zhang Xiaosan realize that he had missed his mouth, and said correctively: "Branch secretary...... Did I say that? But to be honest, Zhang Xiaosan had long recognized that Han Xing was a comrade in the party, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't I call Wu Xiaoming over?" There are some things that I still have to listen to him. ”

Needless to say, Zhang Xiaosan has unmistakably told Han Xing that Wu Xiaoming is the secretary of the guard company branch. Han Xing said to Zhang Xiaosan affectionately: "You call Wu Xiaoming over, from now on, this company has a heavy military operation, and the three of us will discuss it together." ”

After a while, Wu Xiaoming followed Zhang Xiaosan. However, Han Xing saw that Zhang Xiaosan was drooping his head, as if he had just been criticized, while Wu Xiaoming was obviously a little angry on his face, it seemed that he had just criticized Zhang Xiaosan. Han Xing also guessed the content of the criticism, how could the company branch in a semi-underground state tell people outside the party secrets lightly?

The three of them sat down, and on the Great Plains, they could find a random place to sit down. Wu Xiaoming's eyes were staring at Han Xing's eyes, needless to say, he was guessing the purpose of Han Xing's meeting. Zhang Xiaosan, his eyes looked blankly at Liaocheng County, which was still smoking, after a big war, Liaocheng, which was prosperous and developed in the past, no longer exists, from now on, the Japanese sun flag has been raised in the sky of Liaocheng, and the people of Liaocheng will become slaves of the Japanese invaders.

Han Xing said in a low voice: "I don't need to talk about the situation anymore, everyone knows it." I am afraid that from now on, there will be chaos in the six districts of Liaocheng, and the united anti-Japanese front led by Commissioner Fan may no longer exist, and it will not be possible to return to the situation of armed secession a year ago. One side is the Japanese, one side is the Kuomintang, and the other side is ***, and no one can be free from the political forces of these three parties. Today, I called the two of them for a meeting, and to put it bluntly, where is our company going, what kind of military action is going to take, and do you want your support? ”

Wu Xiaoming asked rhetorically: "I don't know what Deputy Commander Han thinks, we still have to listen to it?" ”

Han Xing also retorted: "My actions, can't it be said that my political tendencies can't be proven!" ”

Wu Xiaoming nodded and said, "Then, what will Deputy Commander Han do next?" ”

Han Xing said bluntly: "The Kuomintang forces in Shen County are very strong, and the situation of County Magistrate Lu is very dangerous. Whether we can rescue County Magistrate Lu Shilong, we still have to make a final effort. ”

Wu Xiaoming nodded and said: "To rescue County Magistrate Lu, it is not enough to count on our little strength, and we have to count on 10 detachments." Before contacting the 10th detachment, it is also in line with our spirit to flexibly and flexibly rescue County Magistrate Lu. I would like to tell my comrades that I will resolutely support Deputy Commander Han's actions. ”

With the support of the company branch, Han Xing's heart was strong, and he immediately ordered the troops to march towards Shen County. At this time, it was the morning of November 16.

On the way to Shen County, Han Xing met Chen Ping, the director of the Industrial Bureau, who happened to be mixed in with a large number of refugees, leading the workers who had evacuated to the rear and some equipment to retreat to the area of Shen County.

When the two met, after the baptism of the Liaocheng incident, they really felt a little reborn. No matter what, if you survive, it's a blessing! Han Xing held her hand tightly, looking here and there, and seeing that there were no injuries all over his body, he was relieved and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Chen Ping took Han Xing's hand and said, "Deputy Commander Han, are you okay?" ”

"Hmm!" When Han Xing saw Chen Ping, he felt that his nose was a little sour, and the strength of manhood was no longer in front of her. During this period of time, I have indeed experienced too much, and no one can confide in her, and when I saw Chen Ping, I really wanted to confide in her heart.

"I know everything," Chen said, "and the past is gone." Or do you want to talk about it, where will our equipment and personnel be withdrawn, and whether production will be carried out or not? ”

Han Xing asked, "Where do you want to retreat?" ”

"Evacuate to Shen County, there is Lu Shilong in Shen County." Chen Ping said.

Han Xing said: "Don't retreat to Shen County, you should retreat to Guan County." 10 detachments were found, and the factory was set up there and produced at full capacity. As long as your factories can smoke, there is hope for the war of resistance in the Sixth District, and there will be banknotes, weapons and ammunition. ”

Chen Ping frowned and said, "Isn't there Lu Shilong in Shen County, why can't you go?" ”

Han Xing said: "It's good to have Lu Shilong in Shen County, but the gun is not necessarily in Lu Shilong's hands. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, don't you know about this matter? ”

"Power comes out of the barrel of a gun......" Chen Ping was carefully pondering Han Xing's words.

"Power comes out of the barrel of a gun", this is a famous statement made by a great man. Han Xing is exported, but the people of that dynasty still sound a little awkward.

Chen Ping's team had already gone far, and Han Xing said to her: "A thousand words can be summed up in one sentence, that is, as long as you are here, there will be hope for the War of Resistance in Liaocheng." The accessories in Puxian County are also about to arrive, and the new products trial-produced in the arsenal are also in good condition, and you must redouble your efforts and do a good job in these tasks. ”

Chen Ping saluted Han Xing and said, "Yes!" "Go after her team at once. Originally, the team was heading southwest, but they reversed the direction in time and headed towards Guanxian County in the west.

Just sent Chen Ping away, Zhao Hongwu didn't know where to get out. When Han Xing saw him, he said a little sneeringly: "You really came without a trace, went without a trace, and now when you are employing people, you can't find it everywhere." Where have you been these days? ”

Zhao Hongwu pulled Han Xing to a secluded place to speak, and he said embarrassedly: "Stationmaster Han, fourth brother, I'm different from you!" You eat multiple meals, this owner doesn't care about the meal, and the next owner can take care of the meal, but I'm different, I only have one owner. ”

Han Xing knew that one of the owners he was talking about was the government's Bureau of Military Statistics.

Without waiting for Han Xing to talk about him, Zhao Hongwu complained again, saying: "Originally, I wanted to go to the 10th detachment to eat, but I heard that you were not allowed to go, and as a result, I could only continue to mix with the guerrilla corps." Now it's okay, Commissioner Fan is gone, where can I eat? ”

Han Xing secretly ordered him: "Commissioner Fan is gone, but Wang Jinxiang is still there, in a few days, Wang Jinxiang will take office, you can continue to work by his side." Our original purpose remains the same......"

Of course, Zhao Hongwu knew the so-called purpose of his work, that is, to collect intelligence in the ranks, to develop spy personnel, to control the upper-level leaders, and to accept relevant instructions from his superiors at any time.

Although Zhao Hongwu happily accepted the task assigned by Han Xing, he still asked with some incomprehension: "If we can infiltrate the 10th detachment, wouldn't it be better to play our role?" ”

Han Xing said quietly: "Isn't there still me in the 10th detachment?" We have few personnel and heavy tasks, and everyone must fulfill their duties and responsibilities, and must not let down the great trust of the party and the state. ”

Zhao Hongwu happily saluted and fulfilled his obligation.

Shen County is located in the southwest of Liaocheng County, 70 miles away from Liaocheng, and is located at the junction of Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces. Shen County is close to Guan County, which is the southern barrier of Guan County.

Lu Shilong, a native of Tai'an, Shandong, was sent to Fan Zhuxian by the Political Training Office of the Kuomintang Shandong 3rd Route Army in October 1937.

At the end of 1937, Lu Shilong was transferred to Shen County as the county magistrate. After he took office, he adhered to the party's principles and policies, actively sorted out the county government, developed the economy of the anti-Japanese war, implemented reasonable burdens, provided relief to the victims, handled anti-Japanese education, and organized anti-Japanese mass organizations. After several months of hard work, Shen County's anti-Japanese enthusiasm was high, and it grew by leaps and bounds to become the crown of all counties in northwest Shandong, won the crowding of the masses and the praise of General Fan, and was known as a model anti-Japanese county magistrate.

Lu Shilong's expression was deeply hated by the Kuomintang diehards. Although Shen Honglie planned to replace him, he failed because Fan Zhuxian did not agree.

The Kuomintang county party department tried to buy Lu Shilong into a tool of the Kuomintang, using both soft and hard, and money and beauty to win over, but Lu Shilong was not moved by his temptation. The Kuomintang diehards hated and feared and wanted to inflict harm, so they secretly stepped up their efforts to recruit forces in order to get their way.

At the beginning of Lu Shilong's tenure, he reorganized the security forces, public security bureaus, and militia forces of the former Kuomintang county government and reorganized them into county brigades. However, because the old organizational system has not been broken, the composition of the leading members of the unit is extremely complicated, and the basic people are still in power with these people.

Among the three squadrons under its jurisdiction, Liu Jiantang, the leader of the first squadron, is a veteran of the Kuomintang miscellaneous army, Ma Jinhong, the leader of the second squadron, is the leader of the militia group, and Zhang Tengkui, the leader of the third squadron, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang county party department and the former director of the public security bureau of the Kuomintang county government.

Several of them often eat and drink together, and become fox friends and dog friends.

In order to strengthen the leadership and transformation of this contingent, the county party committee where Lu Shilong belonged personally concurrently served as the captain of the county brigade, and successively appointed the squadrons to serve as political instructors.
