Chapter 225: Rescuing Prisoners of War (1)
After the leader of the provincial party committee announced the reorganization of the troops in the base areas, he began to announce the formation of the independent battalion and the allocation of cadres. Liu Tianshu, commander of the Fuyashan Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, Zhu Aiguo, instructor, and Yang Donghu, deputy battalion commander, had six infantry companies, one machine gun company, and one mortar squad under their command. As for the candidate for the captain of Fuchang County of the Eighth Route Army, Comrade Zeng Wei was appointed according to the proposal of the Fuchang County Party Committee.
At the same time, on behalf of the provincial party committee, the leader also adjusted the leadership squad leader of the Fuchang County Party Committee, with Comrade Xiang Shuyu serving as ******** and Comrade Tang Shui serving as the county magistrate of the anti-Japanese democratic regime in Fuchang County.
As for Comrade Wang Shuihe, he was transferred to the provincial party committee for another appointment.
After the leader spoke, he looked at Liu Tianshu and Xiang Shuyu and said: "Comrade Liu Tianshu, the future task of your independent battalion is to effectively attack the enemy in this area and support the base area to carry out the work of resisting Japan and saving the country in accordance with the deployment of the detachment. Comrade Xiang Shuyu, the burden on your shoulders is not light. I believe that with your hard work, the cause of the Anti-Japanese War in Fuchang County will definitely have new development. ”
"Please rest assured that we will fulfill the tasks assigned by the party organization." Liu Tianshu and Xiang Shuyu looked at the leader very solemnly and said.
When Political Commissar Jiang Jinyong left Yaping Village, Liu Tianshu quietly handed a written letter to Jiang Jinyong, "Political Commissar, please help me bring this letter to Dr. Song Yujie." ”
When he said this, Rao is Liu Tianshu had always been very thick-skinned, and he also felt a little feverish at this time.
Since he led his troops to Fuya Mountain, he lost contact with Song Yujie who was far away in Qingyang Mountain, and during this time, as soon as he arrived at the gap in the battle, Song Yujie's figure would appear in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Jinyong finally came to Fuya Mountain, so he naturally had to be cheeky and let him bring a letter for him.
"Hehe, let me fly the pigeon and pass the book, it's no problem. Still, you should give me one for that heavy machine gun. Jiang Jinyong took the letter and did not put it directly into his purse, but looked at Liu Tianshu and said with a smile.
Before he arrived at Yaping Village, he only knew that the Fuyashan Independent Battalion had developed well, but when he really saw the equipment of the Independent Battalion, he was greatly surprised.
Liu Tianshu only had one independent battalion, so he stubbornly created a machine gun company, 12 Japanese-style Type 92 heavy machine guns, and as for the crooked handles, each infantry company was equipped with three.
You must know that even the detachment guard company that stayed in the Qingyang base area only had one heavy machine gun.
This kid finally has a request for himself, and this bamboo pole has to be knocked on anyway.
Liu Tianshu heard the political commissar open his mouth to ask for a heavy machine gun, his cheeks couldn't help hurting, raised his eyes to look at the political commissar's eyes, had to bite his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since the political commissar has spoken, I have to agree anyway." ”
It's just that the heavy machine gun that the reconnaissance platoon was originally prepared to equip can only wait until the next time.
Jiang Jinyong saw a few soldiers carrying heavy machine guns over, and immediately let the guard platoon he brought to pick him up, and after seeing that the leader of the provincial party committee was explaining the task to Xiang Shuyu, he pulled Liu Tianshu aside.
"Tianliu, the headquarters has decided that the main force of our division will also come to Shandong, and then the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, Watanabe, the old devil, suffered a lot of losses last time, you have to pay more attention." After speaking, Jiang Jinyong patted Liu Tianshu on the shoulder, and then walked forward.
Until Political Commissar Jiang and the group of patriotic students disappeared into the mountains and forests of Yaping Village, Liu Tianshu was still reminiscing about the information revealed by Political Commissar Jiang when he left.
The main force of the division is going to Shandong, which is really good. In this way, the strength of the Shandong Eighth Route Army has been greatly strengthened.
After sending off Political Commissar Jiang and them, Liu Tianshu immediately consulted with Zhu Aiguo and Yang Donghu, and drew a company of locals from the troops and handed them over to Zeng Wei's county brigade, and at the same time organized the remaining troops into six infantry companies, a machine gun company, a mortar squad, a reconnaissance platoon, and a guard platoon.
As for the logistical supply of the separate battalions, it was entrusted to the baggage platoon of old and infirm fighters.
After the reorganization of the troops, Liu Tianshu set up the battalion headquarters in Xiaotangba and the first company in Shigou Village. The second company was placed in Yang Village. Yang Donghu took the third and fourth companies and stationed them in Songkan Town.
The fifth and sixth companies, machine gun companies, mortar squads, etc., remained at Xiaotangba together with the battalion headquarters.
Taking advantage of the fact that the devils did not invade the base area for the time being, Liu Tianshu asked the companies to speed up their training, while he himself concentrated on training machine gun companies, mortar squads, and reconnaissance platoons.
Just when Liu Tianshu was guiding Shu Zhi to train the mortar squad to choose a position, quickly set up the artillery, quickly open the artillery, and quickly transfer, suddenly Luo Kai, the battalion communicator, ran over.
"Battalion commander, the instructor told you to go back to the battalion headquarters immediately." Seeing Liu Tianshu, Luo Kai shouted loudly.
Liu Tianshu nodded, turned to Shu Zhi and said: "Shu Zhi, in the event of a head-on battle with the devil, you must choose a spare launch position in advance, and immediately transfer the position every time you hit a base, so as not to be found by the devil's retaliatory firepower." ”
After seeing that Shu Zhi understood, Liu Tianshu followed the correspondent and walked back to the battalion headquarters quickly.
"Tianshu, the detachment is in an emergency, the devil has a train transporting laborers from Jinan to Qingdao, Captain Hong ordered us to try to save this group of laborers." As he spoke, Zhu Aiguo handed over a telegram.
Liu Tianshu took a look, and his expression suddenly became serious, it turned out that the laborers that the devil was going to send to Japan through Qingdao this time were all the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army that were captured by the devil.
In the telegram, the detachment also mentioned that the Shandong underground party and the Shandong Kuomintang underground intelligence network would give full support to intelligence.
After reading this telegram, Liu Tianshu put down the telegram after a while, and said to Zhu Aiguo: "Instructor, this task is very arduous, in this way, for the sake of secrecy, this matter is only known to you, me and Yang Donghu. I thought about it for a while, and in order to find out the specific transportation plan for the devils, we had to send people to Jinan to contact our people and the Kuomintang intelligence officers. Come, let's divide the work, I will personally lead people to Jinan, find out the specific time for the devil to transport these prisoners of war, you are responsible for the troops to stay behind, by the third company and the fourth company, the machine gun company and the mortar squad to form a rescue force, under the command of Comrade Yang Donghu, the machine gun company and the mortar squad immediately went to Songkan Town to meet the third company and the fourth company, ready for battle. ”
"You want to go to Jinan in person? I'm afraid that's too dangerous, isn't it? When Zhu Aiguo heard that Liu Tianshu was going to Jinan in person, he couldn't help but feel anxious and asked nervously.
"It's okay, I'm a native of Shandong, I'm familiar with the situation in Jinan, besides, I can speak Japanese again, don't worry, nothing will happen." We contacted by radio. Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.
Of course, it is not an easy task to bring the radio station into Jinan, but the Jinan underground party should be able to get the radio station and contact them, and Liu Tianshu can use their radio station to make contact.
After discussing it, Liu Tianshu immediately asked Shi Qiang, Chen Jian, Shi Hu and Sun Bao to be called over and asked the four of them to prepare.
When Shi Qiang and the others heard that they were going to follow the battalion commander to sneak into Jinan to carry out the mission, the four of them showed excitement on their faces, and immediately went back to let Tong Gufeng temporarily take charge of the work of the reconnaissance platoon, and then changed into civilian clothes and came to the battalion headquarters.
Liu Tianshu also changed into the clothes of the people at this time, and the five of them quietly left Xiaotangba, bypassed Pingyuan Town, and slowly walked to Hujiaji in the west of Pingyuan Town.
When they arrived outside the Hu family market, they found a secret place, Shi Qiang and the four of them changed the clothes of the people on their bodies into the clothes of their attendants, and Liu Tianshu changed into the style of the rich young master, swaggered into the town, rented a carriage, and then went all the way to the west.
Of course, when encountering the level of the devil, Chen Jian, who played the role of a housekeeper, immediately took out a large amount of silver dollars from his pocket, and opened the way with this thing.
In less than two days, the five of them arrived outside the city of Jinan, and Liu Tianshu came to the teahouse in a town outside the city according to the instructions of the detachment.
Liu Tianshu looked like a young master and walked upstairs to the private room with his head held high.
Chen Jian shouted loudly for Xiao Er to send tea, and when he saw that Xiao Er was moving a little slowly, he shouted a few words viciously.
After Xiao Er delivered the tea, Liu Tianshu took a sip of the teacup, as if it was burned, and put the teacup on the table.
Liu Tianshu seemed to be accustomed to Chen Jian's ferocious style, and Shi Qiang, Shi Hu and Sun Bao, who were standing behind him, were grim and fierce at this time.
After a while, the owner of the teahouse came up trembling slightly, and saw the young master perched his feet on a chair, looking at the ceiling with one face, and the guy who seemed to be the butler looked at him with fire in his eyes and shouted loudly.
The owner of the teahouse didn't expect to meet such a rude guest, and was about to swallow his anger to accompany him, when he saw the teacup and tea lid on the table, and was put in a strange style by the bored young master.
The owner of the teahouse was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.
"This guest officer, I'm really sorry, Xiao Er didn't take good care of it, I'll clean it up for you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and as soon as Jian Chen was about to stop him, he saw Liu Tianshu open his eyes and immediately retreated.
The owner of the teahouse carefully stretched out his sleeve, wiped the tea on the table, and then said in his mouth: "Guest officer, the small shop is a small business, and now in this world, it is not easy for anyone, otherwise, I will not accept this tea money." ”
"If you don't accept it, how can you do it if you don't accept it, where will I put my face when it is passed out?" Liu Tianshu glared, took out two folded pieces of money from his pocket, and handed them to the owner of the teahouse.
The boss took the money, put it in his pocket, and said, "Thank you, officer, I'll bring another pot of tea later." ”
After that, the boss walked downstairs, and after a while, he personally came over with a pot of tea and put it in front of Liu Tianshu. (To be continued.) )
