Zhang Weihan criticized him and said: "It's your mistake to do this, you are too light on the enemy, and the arrogant army will be defeated. The situation in Linqing is very complicated, far beyond your imagination, who do you think you are, Zhao Zilong, the general of Shu Kingdom, I am afraid that you yourself will not dare to say this! Otherwise, you can take the special operations battalion with you, and then bring a radio station. ”

Han Xing thought about it for a while, and said in his heart, the special operations battalion is an important organ and factory to protect Liaocheng, and if the special operations battalion goes, it will be a bit of a fuss, as if it is going to fight some big battle. But if you want to say that you don't bring a soldier or a soldier, you really don't have such a ability, and I'm afraid that the two puppet armies won't be able to deal with it. As for the radio, it's the ears and the mouth, and of course it's better to carry it than not to carry it.

"Otherwise, the guards will take me with me, and I will be familiar with it. Then bring a radio station and Director Zhang. ”

Zhang Weihan nodded, and said, "You have to have a helper in life, otherwise, you can take Chen Ping with you." is such an adult, shoes and socks are pulled all day long, and no one can take care of food, clothing and daily life. ”

Han Xing was happy in his heart for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, is this taking care of me, this is monitoring me, as long as Chen Ping knows something, you Zhang Weihan will already know.

But it is not a good thing that his future husband and wife and current girlfriend are by his side. Thanks to Han Xinglian and said, "Thank you! Thank you! ”

Zhang Weihan knocked on Han Xing again and said, "Take it easy, your marriage request has not been approved yet!" If it causes a bad effect, I won't wipe your belly. ”

Han Xing's face turned red when he said this, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Really, people have the ability, the little three and the four are looking everywhere, I have no ability, the husband and wife of the later generations are by my side, and they also ask people to talk nonsense, pulling the pigtails. It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!

Han Xing took Chen Ping and a team of guards and quickly marched towards Linqing.

Linqing is an important commercial town in Luxi, located at the junction of Hebei and Shandong, and is the focus of armed robbery by bandits.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, there were 15 bandits in the Linqing Dynasty, including Yu Deben, Ji Zhanao, Feng Shoupeng, Wang Laixian, Zhu Guangyuan, Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhanmei, Wang Chaogui, Guo Changhai, and Sun Mingyuan. The bandits of various groups often fought and shot at each other because of the seizure of territory.

During the anti-Japanese period, Linqing fell three times.

On October 28, 1937, a group of Japanese cavalry set out from Qiu County, crossed the river from the pontoon bridge, and attacked and occupied Linqing City, and the county fell for the first time.

After the Japanese army occupied Linqing, they wantonly killed and looted everywhere they went. In order to expand the puppet army and strengthen its power, the Japanese army established puppet district governments in Linqing County, the fifth, sixth, and seventh districts, and successively incorporated more than 1,500 local militia groups, bandits Zhang Dianqing, and Feng Wuqiao's troops in the Zhuzhuang area south of Linqing County into the puppet army, and incorporated the remnants of the Kuomintang and bandit Wu Lianjie who were stranded in the area of Wu Haizi in the north of Tangyi into the first brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

In May 1938, the Japanese invaders felt that their troops were insufficient and their energy was limited, so they abandoned the garrison of Linqing, so that Linqing returned to a situation where no one was in charge and no one asked, and bandits were divided.

Han Duofeng, whose name is Xiuyan, was born in 1888 in Dongping County, Shandong Province, and was one of the thirteen Taibao of General Feng Yuxiang. In 1907, he began to serve as a soldier in the Beiyang Army of the Qing Dynasty, and in 1914, he began to follow General Feng Yuxiang, and successively participated in the Luanzhou Uprising, the Anti-Zhang Xun Restoration, the Second Zhifeng War and the "Beijing Coup".

In 1919, Han Duofeng served as the commander of the machine gun battalion of the 16th Mixed Brigade (Brigade Commander Feng Yuxiang), in 1922 he served as the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Army, and in 1925, he served as the commander of the 40th Mixed Brigade of the 5th Army (Commander Shi Jingting) of the National Army (Commander-in-Chief Feng Yuxiang) and the guard of Huguan Town in northern Jin.

On July 18, 1925, the Beiyang government awarded Han Duofeng the rank of major general, and in April 1927, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Henan Mintuan Army, and in 1929, he was appointed as a member of the Henan Provincial Government, commander of the garrison division, and military adviser. After the Central Plains War, Han Fuyu became the head of Shandong, and Han Duofeng served as an adviser to the Shandong Provincial Government and the chairman of the Training Committee of the Shandong Provincial Lianzhuang Association.

After the Japanese invaders withdrew from Linqing, the governor Shen Honglie came up first and appointed Zeng Qi as the commissioner of the fourth district. Who would have thought that this Zeng Qi, Kuomintang spy Zhang Jiyao and others were engaged in conspiracy activities in the northwest region of Shandong Province and wanted to bring down Fan Zhuxian's anti-Japanese guerrilla troops in the Sixth District, so they were disarmed and seized by Fan Zhuxian's three detachments of Qi Zixiu's department and expelled from the country.

At this time, Shen Honglie's exiled provincial government traveled from Cao County to Dongping. When he arrived in Dongping, he learned that there was such a general in Dongping County who had outstanding military achievements and a high official rank in his hometown to recuperate from his injuries. He found Han Duofeng, hoping to let Han Duofeng go out of the mountain and become the commissioner of the fourth district, so as to control the situation in Linqing.

Han Duofeng is also a veteran of officialdom, how can he not know Shen Honglie's intentions. He thought that first, Shen Honglie wanted to be his spear leader and go to Luxi to create friction between Fan Zhuxian and ***. The second is to use his personal relationship with Fan Zhuxian to serve as a buffer bridge. As soon as the situation opens up and the situation improves, he will be kicked out immediately.

But if you don't do it as the commissioner of the fourth district, someone will still be sent down, and the situation is difficult to predict. Thinking about it, for the country and the people, let's go ahead in the face of difficulties, Han Duofeng still took over this burden.

Han Duofeng took over this burden, but Shen Honglie only gave him an empty letter of appointment, neither a shot nor a penny. Han Duofeng took this letter of appointment and a few young friends who resolutely resisted the war, crossed the Yellow River through Dong'e, and went to Liaocheng to see Fan Zhuxian.

At this time, Fan Zhuxian had just repelled the 14th Division of the Japanese Invaders in Puxian County, Kefu County, and returned to Liaocheng for the first time after meeting with Xu Xiangqian, deputy commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

After Han Duofeng explained his intentions, he was warmly welcomed and welcomed by Fan Zhuxian. Fan Zhuxian introduced a group of anti-Japanese cadres to Han Duofeng and supported Han Duofeng to open up work. These cadres are Zhao Xiaosan, Zhu Muzhi and other 8 young talents, most of them are *** members, and they want to help Han Duofeng organize the political department.

Han Duofeng took Zhao Xiaosan as the director and Zhu Muzhi as the deputy director to carry out the work of publicizing the Anti-Japanese War and organizing the masses.

Fan Zhuxian also gave Han Duofeng a big truck and sent them to the location of the special office in Qingping County to take up their posts.

When he was about to leave Liaocheng, Fan Zhuxian personally led the political cadres Zhang Yuguang, Qi Yanming, Yao Dihong, Zhao Yiping and other comrades to send Han Duofeng and them out of the city in a car.

In addition, the newspaper "Anti-Japanese War Daily" sponsored by Liaocheng also sent a reporter to visit Han Duofeng, and published the "new policy policy" after Han Duofeng took over, as well as Han Duofeng's understanding and feelings on the future of the war, which were published in the newspaper the next day as a support for Han Duofeng's political affairs.

These things were completely unexpected by Shen Honglie, and they really lifted a stone and smashed themselves in the foot.

Shen Honglie really didn't know that Han Duofeng and Fan Zhuxian were not only like-minded comrades-in-arms in politics, but also had a historical relationship in the past exchanges: after Feng Yuxiang entered Shaanxi and Gansu in 1929, Fan Zhuxian served as a counselor in the headquarters of Zhang Weixi, the commander of the 13th Army of the Feng Department, and in 1930, during the Central Plains War, Fan Zhuxian served as a counselor in the headquarters of Zhang Weixi in Nanlu County. At this time, Han Duofeng was a brigade commander under Feng Yuxiang's subordinates, and the two had a lot of contacts because of their work.

Later, Fan Zhuxian served as the county magistrate of Linyi County during the Han Fuyu period, and Han Duofeng worked as a consultant at the headquarters of Han Fuyu's Third Route Army.

It was precisely because of these historical relationships between Han Duofeng and Fan Zhuxian that Shen Honglie's conspiracy to sow discord fell through.

Although Han Duofeng has an alliance in politics, he can't do it militarily, and he can only barely make do with more than a hundred so-called soldiers who are almost bare-handed. Compared with the three major local bandit troops, any one of them can eat him in one bite, and there are not even bones left.

At that time, Qingping County, where the special office of the four districts was located, was in Qingping Town, Gaotang County, and Han Xing led this team of people to make a detour from Guanxian County. The two of them talked about the world, talked about the past and the present, talked about the development of industry for a while, and talked about the future of Liaocheng for a while.

When the team came to the junction of Guanxian and Linqing, Han Xing saw that there were many ravines dug here for no reason, and the terrain was indeed a bit special compared to the flat plains along the way.

Zhang Xiaosan ran over and said to Han Xing: "Deputy Commander Han, in my opinion, it is better to send a squad of advanced soldiers to explore the road first, if there is no situation, it is not too late for the brigade to advance." ”

Han Xing smiled and said, "I said Zhang Xiaosan, I'm timid enough, you are more timid than me." We are not afraid of Fujin Mountain, Tianjia Town, and Wanjialing, what are you afraid of here! Aren't there just a few bandits, I think they can still pee a foot or two. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and when will you get to Qingping! Feel free to walk boldly. ”

Zhang Xiaosan pursed his lips, it was not good to confront Han Xing, so he had to lead the team to move on.

Walking further, I saw more and more criss-crossing deep ditches, and on the edge of each deep ditch was of course a mound of soil taken from the soil, and the surroundings were still very quiet, and there were no farmers working in the fields, no cattle ploughing the fields, not even a child collecting firewood.

Chen Ping frowned and said to Han Xing, "I think something is not quite right!" Why don't you even have a single person? Besides, if such a deep ditch mound is really hidden, a company or a battalion may be hidden! I don't think we can move forward, do you ask Zhang Xiaosan to send someone to reconnoiter first? ”

Han Xing smiled and laughed at her, "I said Chen Ping, you have only fought a few battles!" You've drilled through a hail of bullets a few times. Don't forget that this is the big rear, the little devils have withdrawn, the Kuomintang has run away, and there are only a few bandits left. If you are afraid of even bandits, what kind of devil are you fighting? ”

Chen Pingbai glared at Han Xing and said, "Why don't I feel that my heart is steady!" ”

The team continued to move forward, but it did not go far, and a deep ditch in front of it stood in front of them.

If you want to say deep, it is not deep, that is, it is more than two meters deep, and if you want to say wide, it is not very wide, that is, it is more than four meters wide. But if you want to jump, many people can't jump over, and if you go down to a deep ditch and climb up, you have to take a ladder.

At this time, Han Xing's heart also beat a small drum, is there really any hostility? Zhang Xiaosan looked around with a pair of vigilant eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone pay attention, disperse." Observe your surroundings? ”

The troops dispersed at once, and some of them half-crouched on the ground and pulled the safety on the assault rifles. Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong surrounded Han Xing and Chen Ping in the center at once.

"Smack! Syllable! "Papa......" A volley of bullets hit the open ground, and it was difficult to dodge, and a dozen fighters on this side were thrown to the ground at that time. Before Han Xing could understand, he and Chen Ping had already been pressed to the ground by a few soldiers around him, and a human wall was organized around him.
