The whole canteen erupted in cheers and applause, the old man also seemed very excited, he slowly stood up, looked at his brand new military uniform and the military boots on his feet, the old man had already shaved his beard, bathed, and then put on the military general's uniform and riding boots above Zhiwei, but also showed the general demeanor of the past. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fang Zhiwei pointed to Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Shen Shenjun again and introduced them to the old man; "Old general, although Fang and the national army also contributed to the rescue of your prisoners of war in this operation, it was their New Fourth Army and the people of the Weimeng Mountain Anti-Japanese Independent Column who really went deep into the concentration camp to rescue you."

The old man stepped forward and held Lu Caiting's hand tightly, and said excitedly; "Your New Fourth Army is amazing, you were able to go deep into the concentration camp garrisoned by the Japanese ace field army to rescue us, on behalf of all the prisoners of war and soldiers, thank you, you have not forgotten our remnants of the defeated generals, your sacrifice must be great, you must have paid an extremely heavy price to rescue us?"

Lu Caiting hurriedly replied; "You are heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, and it is our duty to rescue you! In this rescue operation, our New Fourth Army sacrificed five soldiers and six soldiers were wounded, but it completely eliminated more than 100 devils in the concentration camp and blew up the concentration camp. ”

The whole canteen fell silent all of a sudden, because all the prisoners of war in the canteen couldn't believe this number, the concentration camp was a unit of the Yokohama Brigade, the individual soldiers and the overall quality of the soldiers were very high, and the light and heavy machine guns, mortars were well armed, the guard box bunkers were densely fortified, and it was deep in the hinterland of the Yokohama Brigade garrison, how easy was it to capture and eliminate such a concentration camp? The prisoners of war only thought that the New Fourth Army was afraid of making them sad by telling the true number of casualties, so they only reported a very small number of casualties to comfort them.

Fang Zhiwei looked at the old general and the prisoners of war with doubts on their faces, and hurriedly explained to the old general and the prisoners of war; "They didn't lie, their sacrifices and wounded soldiers are all here, they are a breakthrough attack that has been carefully surveyed and boldly adopted, and they have a special combat team in their team, all of them are agile and agile, and their martial arts are strong, all of them are composed of heroes and heroes from famous families in the rivers and lakes, so they can do it."

The old general's eyes, which were deeply sunken, were filled with tears, and his thin cheeks were flushed, and he said excitedly; "Good! If you have such an army in the New Fourth Army, the myth of the invincibility of the Yokohama Brigade will be shattered by you, and I am happy for you and for our successors! ”

Fang Zhiwei said with a smile; "The myth of the invincibility of the Yokohama Brigade has long been shattered by them! They once eliminated the sniper team of the Yokohama Brigade, and they also went deep into the hinterland of the Yokohama Brigade to blow up its main artillery positions, and eliminated many devils, and none of them died, and then they intercepted and annihilated the transport convoy of the Yokohama Brigade, and the soldiers of the Yokohama Brigade were slashed with big knives, and they annihilated an integrated squad of the enemy, and captured a large number of weapons and vehicles, and their casualties were also very small. ”

The prisoners of war in the entire canteen cheered and applauded again at once, they were all defeated by the Yokohama Brigade troops, and even were taken prisoner after defeat, and the soldiers of the Yokohama Brigade cast a terrifying shadow in their hearts regardless of the cruelty and ruthlessness of shooting, charging, and assassinating like a tiger, and the imprint was like a nightmare, and now a unit that only belonged to the local guerrillas also made the Yokohama Brigade dizzy, and the shadow of terror and the nightmare in their hearts were also lifted, and of course they were excited and ecstatic.

The old general pointed to the table behind him; "I hope that we in China can have more troops like you, so that we will not be afraid of little devils, and we will be able to drive them out of China! I would like to borrow General Fang's wine to toast you with a bowl. ”

"That's it," Fang Zhiwei also pointed to the table; "Let's all take a seat, let's also suppress the shock of the teacher and the prisoners of war, and have a good drink!"

All the people cheered loudly, and then sat down, poured large bowls full of wine, and then toasted back and forth with each other, and the atmosphere was very thick and enthusiastic.

The old general's surname is Luo, he was originally a division commander of the Sichuan Army, and led the children of his hometown to the anti-Japanese battlefield from Shanxi to Jiangnan, everyone affectionately called him Luo Division Commander, he was desperate to survive, and these young commanders and fighters of the New Fourth Army also saw the future and hope of the Chinese army, he was particularly happy and excited, and he drank a big bowl of wine.

After a while, the wounded prisoners of war who had changed their medicine and bandages also came to the canteen, and the officers who had participated in the ambush unit that served as a guard tonight also came to the canteen to accompany the prisoners of war, and the canteen was full of laughter and joy.

The wine was drunk until almost dawn, and Fang Zhiwei asked everyone to disperse, because tomorrow the division headquarters will hold a celebration and welcome banquet, and let Teacher Luo and the prisoner of war brothers take a good rest, and tomorrow they will participate in the celebration banquet, taking advantage of this, Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Shen Shenjun also quietly inquired about the prisoners of war of the Suxi detachment of the New Fourth Army, because all the prisoners of war have changed into the new clothes of the national army after taking a bath, and they can't tell who is the national army and who is the New Fourth Army. Immediately, more than a dozen people raised their hands to admit that they were from the Suxi detachment of the New Fourth Army, Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Shen Shenjun were busy comforting them to rest and return to their own troops tomorrow, and the prisoners of war of the Suxi detachment also told Lu Caiting that they were captured when they did not fight with the Japanese troops of the Yokohama Brigade, they were captured in the Japanese garrison of the Japanese garrison, and then they were transferred to the Tiejialing Yokohama Brigade Concentration Camp to mine ore. Then everyone happily went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Yunguang specially arranged Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Shen Shenjun to rest in a separate small room, and there were already bowls, plates, cups and chopsticks on the small table in front of the bed in the room, some braised vegetables and cold dishes, and a bottle of liquor.

Xiao Yunguang sat down on the bed next to the small table, picked up the wine bottle and filled the four wine glasses on the table, and motioned to Lu Caiting for them to sit down and drink again.

Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun sat down and raised their wine glasses, but Ning Chenlong shook his hand again and again; "I think I'll be exempt, I've almost drunk it just now."

Xiao Yunguang raised his glass and teased; "I think the chief of staff still has a face, just sit down and mean something."

Ning Chenlong was helpless, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed and pick up his wine glass.

Xiao Yunguang held his wine glass and said in a sincere tone; "I specially salute the wine of the leaders of your independent column alone, you also know that our division commander Fang is an ancient and enthusiastic man, he respects those anti-Japanese heroes very much, you rescued prisoners of war this time, especially Teacher Luo, that is for our division commander to fulfill the greatest wish, so I want to toast your wine alone for our division commander."

Ning Chenlong replied disappreciatively; "Section Chief Xiao's words are a bit extraordinary, rescuing these heroes who fought against Japan is also the unshirkable responsibility of our New Fourth Army, so you don't have to be so polite."

Xiao Yunguang drank the wine in the cup, picked up the wine bottle and filled everyone's wine glasses, and said; "Brother didn't expect you to do what you say, do it vigorously, and the plan and action are so perfect, you don't know it, and the division commander is also taking great risks to do this."

"Oh," Ning Chenlong was a little surprised when he heard this, and at the same time, he faintly predicted something, and couldn't help but ask; "Chief Xiao said to listen to it."

Xiao Yunguang sighed deeply and continued; "Because the last two times to eliminate the sniper team of the Japanese Yokohama Brigade and blow up its main artillery position to reward you with weapons and equipment, this news soon spread to the Third Theater Command, and the commanders and commanders were furious, saying that the division commander used the name of anti-Japanese resistance to secretly support the weapons and ammunition of the New Fourth Army, and also helped them train telecommunications personnel, which violated the purpose of anti-communism, exclusion of the Communist Party, and restriction of the Communist Party issued by the chairman of the committee, and was even suspected of fornicating with the Communist Party. I think the Theater Command will soon send someone from the Political Training Department to supervise it, so your operation was completed in a very timely manner. ”

Lu Caiting also sighed deeply after hearing this, and said worriedly; "It turns out that my senior brother is still burdened with such a big deal for us, and it can be regarded as a risk, and if we don't get it, we will be dismissed, why is Chairman Jiang so small-bellied?"

"Isn't it," Xiao Yunguang said again; "For the disappearance of the radio station, I was almost removed from my post, and it was all up to the division commander to underwrite it to keep this position, so I didn't participate in your operation in order to avoid suspicion."

Shen Shenjun felt unfair, raised his eyebrows, and said indignantly; "Since you are so suspicious and do not tolerate anyone, I think Section Chief Xiao, you might as well persuade your division commander to simply pull the troops to our side of the New Fourth Army, so as not to suffer from his envy."

Xiao Yunguang shook his head again and again and refused; "This can't be helped, our new Sixth Division is a combat-effective force, which plays the role of containing the Japanese Yokohama Brigade, if it collapses, the Eighth Division will confront the Yokohama Brigade alone, and it will soon be wiped out."

Ning Chenlong also nodded in agreement; "Section Chief Xiao is right, after all, the new Sixth Division is a series of troops of the National Army, and all the officers and men are also warm and friendly to our New Fourth Army, but they still can't fully understand and accept the Communist Party, and if they want them to join us, there must be many people who are unwilling, so that the new Sixth Division will collapse, and the Mianmeng area will lose a unit that can contain the Yokohama Brigade, and the situation will be greatly reversed, and the current situation cannot do so."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Ning Chenlong raised his wine glass and saluted Xiao Yunguangdao; "Section Chief Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so wronged, I sincerely toast you with a glass of wine!"

Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun also raised their wine glasses to salute Xiao Yunguang, Lu Caiting and Ning Chenlong knew that he was a communist, but once this identity was exposed, he would not be able to stand in the new Sixth Division, so the words of the two of them could only be said to a certain degree of secrecy.

After drinking, Xiao Yunguang raised his hand to look at the time on his watch, then got up and said goodbye; "It's almost dawn, you still have to take a nap, there will be a celebration banquet tomorrow, I will immediately call the orderlies to clean up my things."

Early the next morning, Yin Peng, commander of the newly formed Eighth Division of the Nationalist Army, also led some officers to the headquarters of the newly formed Sixth Division in off-road jeeps and large trucks, and they came to pick up the prisoners of war of their Eighth Division.

Fang Zhiwei, deputy division commander Hu Yi, chief of staff, regiment commander, and other officers greeted the people of the Eighth Division and took them to the conference room of the division headquarters, which was briefly arranged, with many seats and benches added, and large barrels of hot tea.

The officers of the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division took their seats in order, and Xiao Yunguang also invited Commander Luo of the Sichuan Army to introduce him to the people of the Eighth Division.

After chatting for a while, Yin Peng asked about the rescue process and casualties, and Xiao Yunguang made a detailed report on the entire rescue operation process to the Eighth Division on behalf of the Sixth Division; after listening to this, the people of the Eighth Division did not believe it, and in the hinterland where the Yokohama Brigade was stationed, they broke through the strong and dangerous concentration camp with excellent weapons and equipment, rescued more than 200 prisoners of war, eliminated a reorganized squad of the Yokohama Brigade and Regiment Defenders, and blew up the concentration camp, while the Jianghu special combat team of the New Fourth Army only sacrificed five people and suffered six casualties. This really made it difficult for the people of the 8th Division, who had been teaching the Yokohama Brigade and Regiment to the ace field unit of the Japanese Army for a long time, to believe and accept.

Yin Peng even slapped the table and laughed loudly; "This must be that Lu Caiting kid has set up an ambush, and there will be more than just casualties? Go and call the kid surnamed Lu, and I'm going to ask him face to face to see how he lied? ”

As he was talking, Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Shen Shenjun, the leaders of the three independent columns of the New Fourth Army, walked into the conference room.

When Yin Peng saw it, he immediately beckoned, and after Lu Caiting and the three of them came over, he also stood up and asked unceremoniously; "Captain Lu, I know that you are powerful, and your Jianghu special combat team is also powerful, but this time is different, your actions are cumbersome, there are so many prisoners of war, how can you break through the concentration camp, eliminate an integrated squad of the Yokohama Brigade, and blow up the concentration camp at a small cost of five dead and six wounded, and get out of the camp with all your body? I don't say it's a fantasy, at least you kid is hiding the number of casualties. "The two of them are old neighbors in Shuangji Town, and Yin Peng watched him grow up, as well as his relationship with his sister, so he talks more casually.

Lu Caiting smiled and replied without being angry at all; "General Yin, don't be excited, my wounded and sacrificed soldiers are here in the Sixth Division, and there is no need for me to hide the number of casualties, they are all heroes and martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War, and we have indeed completed this rescue operation at such a small cost."

Yin Peng still didn't believe it, smacked his lips, shook his head and said; "You kid still haven't told the truth, if it was an ordinary Japanese army, I might still believe it, but what about the Yokohama Brigade, the field ace unit of the Japanese Army? Can you tell everyone about your plan of action, and see if there is any reason for everyone to believe it? ”

"The Yokohama Brigade is nothing remarkable—" Ning Chenlong took over and explained; "The Yokohama Brigade is world-class with its ability to attack fortifications, the speed of mechanized equipment, and the quality of individual soldiers and overall coordination, especially its training in the spirit and means of bushido, its soldiers are like ferocious and wanton beasts on the battlefield, and the national army troops have encountered it and have been defeated repeatedly, but it also has weaknesses, arrogance and arrogance, regardless of the front and the back, as long as it looks for its shortcomings and gaps, it will also make it cry and cry for its mother."
