readx;?“ You guys, why did you come back? Lin Fancai asked eagerly, "What about the other folks?" ”

"Senior brother, rest assured, the villagers are almost gone, and they are safe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" He Youyi hurriedly explained: "You see, we have picked up a lot of guns inside and outside the village, there are dead devils, there are yellow-skinned dogs, they are all fast guns, we are not afraid of them." ”

"Nonsense." Lin Fancai stomped his feet, couldn't say anything else, turned around and observed the battlefield with a telescope, and after a while, he turned around thoughtfully, stared at He Youyi and more than 100 villagers, and said: "I don't know which way it is outside, and I have to fight devils." But people saved us, let's shrink here and watch the excitement, some can't be justified, right? ”

"Senior brother, I think so too." He Youyi nodded vigorously and said: "Another joke that we don't understand human feelings, stretch out your hand now, and we will meet in the future." ”

Lin Fancai smiled bitterly and said, "Let's offend the devil to death, without someone to rely on, we won't be able to live in the future." This group of people does not know where to come from, and the nearby security brigade can also take refuge. Although we have offended them, but it is a Chinese, asking for food and pay will not force our family to break down, in the past, we were shallow-eyed, thinking that we did not care, no one hangs, now it seems to be wrong. ”

"Senior brother, what do you say we should fight, I'll lead people out now." He Youyi was a little ashamed, it was his intention to refuse the security brigade, and now that he wants to repair the relationship, he naturally has to sell more strength.

"We can't help in the war, let's get some food and drink, it's a consolation!" Lin Fancai smiled bitterly and said, "And these guns we picked up, we have to return half of them to others, but we don't dare to keep them with a big face." ”

……………

The battlefield fell silent, and the sound of gunfire was far away, but it could still be heard.

The enemy's defeat was a disarray, mainly due to artillery bombardment, which made it difficult to hold on. And without the cooperation of artillery, the devil is really not very good at fighting.

"Hehe, the devil even threw the corpse down, this is rare." Wang Zhijie hurried over with 180 people, carrying a lot of captures on his back, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the battlefield after the fierce battle.

Shen Dehui nodded lightly and said, "We took advantage, the enemy besieged the stockade with many casualties, and he was also very tired, so he was successfully attacked by us and defeated in one fell swoop." ”

"We won anyway." Wang Zhijie didn't care about the passing, he only cared about the result, and he came thinking about getting more loot to make his security brigade look like it.

The battlefield has not yet been cleaned, and only one squad of guards is left by Shen Dehui's side, as well as most of the artillery and medical staff. Three squadrons have already pursued them, as well as a part of the artillerymen and ammunitionmen with 60 mortars.

"Brigade Commander Wang, please ask your brothers to help clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." Shen Dehui knew that Wang Zhijie was in a hurry, so he took the initiative to give him the task.

"No problem, no problem at all." Wang Zhijie hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Be quick with your hands and feet, carry the wounded first, don't just stare at the broken guns on the ground." ”

At this moment, a soldier came to report, and the two leaders of the Eight Great Villages came to pay their respects and thank them.

Shen Dehui also admired these people in his heart, and dared to fight with the devil puppet army with their native guns and artillery, and indeed killed and injured many enemies. He asked Wang Zhijie's opinion again, and Wang Zhijie felt that after saving Bada Village, the attitude of the two stubborn leaders should change. Besides, standing here as a life-saver, the waist is straight, and it is a matter of raising the face, so he does not object.

Under the guidance of the two soldiers, Lin Fancai and He Youyi walked over and saw a young ** officer standing there, looking at them with interest. Wang Zhijie of the Security Brigade also stood beside him, making the two of them stunned.

Although he was a little surprised, Lin Fancai didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward and said with a forced smile: "This chief, Brigade Commander Wang, is the steward of the village. Your army defeated the devil and rescued the people of Bada Village, and Lin came to thank him. ”

Shen Dehui looked at Lin Fancai, and saw that he had a broad forehead and a broad face, a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, although his clothes were a little tattered, and there were blood stains on them, he couldn't hide his majestic color, and couldn't help but secretly praise: What a good man, no wonder he was able to take the villagers and the devil to hold on for so long.

"Leader Lin doesn't have to be polite, we are the national * army, and resisting Japan is a matter of course, so there is no need to be so complimentary." Xu said kindly.

"Yes, yes." Lin Fancai also felt that it was awkward to speak in such a low voice, and the fingers of his right hand kept twisting the buttons of his clothes, and said cautiously: "The local stone is thick and the soil is thin, and everything is not as convenient as the big ground. But he also prepared wine, meat and meals to comfort the noble army. ”

Shen Dehui nodded and said, "I don't think it's necessary." The new catastrophe in your land is also because we got the news too late, and it is too late to hurry up. ”

"The chief is really sympathetic to the people, and Lin has thanked the whole village in advance." When Lin Fan heard the word catastrophe, he immediately thought of the villagers who died in the battle, his expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Your army can be regarded as saving the lives of our whole village, and they don't take it, so Lin doesn't know what to say." By the way, I just took the villagers to pick up a lot of guns and ammunition for your army, and I will serve them in a moment. In addition, Zhuangzi will also give your army a batch of grain, meat and vegetables as a reward. ”

"And-" Lin Fancai turned to Wang Zhijie, smiled bitterly, and bowed deeply, "Lord Wang, there are a lot of them, and if you haven't done anything before, please forgive me." After that, the eight villages will never be in arrears when they pay grain and wages. I also asked Chief Wang to send troops to protect the safety of the people of Bada Village. ”

This Lin Fan is a person who understands things, and knows that the devil will definitely retaliate, and wants to use this to reconcile with the security brigade. Of course, he definitely didn't know where he came from, so he didn't dare to speak rashly. Shen Dehui smiled slightly and whispered a few words to Wang Zhijie.

Wang Zhijie saw that Lin Fan was soft, not only returning the spoils, but also receiving grain and wages, so he pretended to be generous, with a smile on his face, and said: "It is really admirable that the people of Guizhai can fight with devils without losing their blood and strength. It's just that the weapons are too poor to protect the homeland. Well, our security brigade resists Japan to save the country, protects the land and protects the people, that is a matter that should be shared, please rest assured that Leader Lin is. ”

"In addition-" Although Wang Zhijie was a little painful, he also felt that it would be a helping arm to be able to bring Bada Village over, so he smiled reluctantly and said, "When we finish counting the seizures, we will pull out some extra guns and send them to Guizhai." Well, this, as long as it is a Chinese who fight devils, we will not treat it harshly. ”

Lin Fancai and He Youyi glanced at each other, and they both saw the light of longing in each other's eyes. Guns, relying on to protect lives and families in troubled times, if there are dozens, even if it is a dozen fast guns, these devils will definitely pay a greater price today, and the villagers can die a lot less. He said that he would return the guns and ammunition he had picked up, but it was just a kind word, and of course, if the security team was unwilling to give them to them, they could not go against the will of others.

"Although the commanders are from military backgrounds, they are peaceful and thoughtful, which is really rare." He Youyi thanked him and said sincerely: "In the past, I was reckless and didn't know what to do, and I asked the chief not to be surprised." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Wang Zhijie waved his hand generously again and said, "You don't know much about the security brigade!" In the future, we will be a family, sincerely united, and fight against Japan together! ”

………………

The battle around the Eight Villages of Taoyuan Market Town not only surprised Yang Tianfeng, but also made him feel that it was an opportunity to break the balance.

The meaning of Shen Dehui's telegram is also very clear, the devil will definitely make a big report, with the strength of the guerrilla brigade and the security brigade, there is no certainty of victory, and I hope to increase the number of troops to fight again.

If the enemy can be defeated again in Dingtao, the defenders of Caoxian and Dingwu will surely be shaken, and the rear will not be appeased, in order to prevent it from being truly divided and besieged, they are likely to abandon the city and shrink to Heze. In this way, the idea of capturing the two cities by siege and squeezing was successful.

Therefore, without much consideration, Yang Tianfeng instructed the 27th Division to send two regiments to Dingtao by separate routes, not only to reinforce the guerrilla brigade and the local anti-Japanese armed forces to carry out counter-sweeps, but also to cut off the combat situation of Cao County and Chengwu County.

Whether it is the security brigade or the spontaneous armed forces of the Bada Village, after training and equipment, they will become good and strong soldiers. If they don't get support, or they are easily eliminated by devils, or they are forced to become traitors, it will be bad for the future.

In addition to reinforcing the guerrilla brigade, Yang Tianfeng also sent a telegram back to Shen Dehui, ordering him to execute all the puppet army prisoners who participated in the siege of Bada Village, leaving not a single one.

They participated in sweeping, burning, killing and looting, slaughtering compatriots, and these animals who fought for tigers were innocent of life. Before the puppet army appears in large numbers, it can be deterred by iron-blooded means, and the negative effect can be minimized.

And the strength of the New Seventh Army continues to grow, which increases Yang Tianfeng's confidence even more, and he doesn't look at the soft-boned puppet army in his eyes, nor does he expect to use puppet army prisoners to expand.

Cao Banting and other armed forces were smoothly integrated, and although there was still a training period of more than a month, the New Seventh Army had nearly 20,000 more horses out of thin air. Coupled with the recruitment and conscription work in the base areas, 100,000 people are already a goal that can be achieved in a few months.

The mountain brigade was transferred to western Henan, and the 81st Division of Zhou Zunshi was also transferred west in batches after undergoing training in mountain warfare as a regiment. However, Gao Shuxun's troops will also become a reliable force in the Shandong-Henan-Anhui border region after being equipped, trained, and rested after being equipped.

With such a large number of people, it must be a larger territory and more resources to support. Take Cao County, Chengwu, and as soon as possible, even if the spring plowing is delayed, there is still time to replant another big crop. In this way, together with the Huxi region, the grain balance of the base areas can still be balanced. If water facilities, fertilizers and field management are more effective, there is even hope that the grain harvest will be exceeded.

Of course, this is only a static and optimistic estimate, and Yang Tianfeng does not dare to easily determine what the actual situation is. Therefore, if he has surplus funds, he still insists on purchasing grain from outside and hoarding more reserves for long-term or unforeseen needs.

The big "God of Wealth" will visit the border area, which is a good opportunity for Yang Tianfeng. Moreover, he thought long-term, not only to seek more funds, but also to take advantage of Mr. Chen JG's visit to Yan'an to relieve some of his worries and questions.

Preparation is necessary, but there is no need to mobilize the people, and there is no need to deceive, so that Mr. Chen JG can see a real Shandong-Henan-Anhui border area. Of course, Yang Tianfeng wanted to make some plans and give some explanations to his subordinates.

"Mr. Chen and his entourage took a plane to Zhengzhou first, and then crossed the river to Kaifeng, and you were greeted in Kaifeng." Yang Tianfeng waved his hand, signaling that Zong Hui didn't need to take up a pen to record, "Mr. Chen lives a frugal life and dislikes luxury, you don't have to be extravagant and wasteful, the meals you eat are just like usual, and you can add one or two dishes." ”

"This subordinate understands." Zong Hui nodded and said, "Mr. Chen's three-day strike announcement in Chongqing already makes people see his likes and dislikes. ”

"The key is to explain the various policies of the border region." Yang Tianfeng said in a deep voice: "It is necessary to explain it clearly and thoroughly, and let Mr. Chen know what the policy is, why it is formulated in this way, and the comparison of the effects before and after implementation." Don't hide the problems that arise, and even ask him for advice. ”

"The security work of Mr. Chen and his entourage should be strict and not let him feel too constrained. He wanted to visit the poor and ask about the suffering, so he had to go. Villages, factories and other places, he can go as much as he wants. Yang Tianfeng paused and said, "Of course, some confidential places still have to be restricted. I will issue you a pass with some levels, but not very high, and will also specify some of the properties to visit. ”

"What about the military?" Zong Hui asked, "If Mr. Chen asks about military issues, his subordinates are not very clear. Is it to send someone who can answer relevant questions? ”

"Yes." Yang Tianfeng nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to be too nervous, just greet and entertain ordinary guests, the more natural and unpretentious, the more convincing." The question is, there must be, where can it be perfect? ”

Zong Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Governor Wei doesn't think so, he plans to build a dam in the Yellow Flood Area, which will also be of great benefit to our border area. It's just that there is a lack of funds, and if you don't fight for it from this 'God of Wealth', I don't know when this project will start? “

"That-" Yang Tianfeng thought for a while and said, "That's also simple, take Mr. Chen to take a walk around the Yellow Flood Area, take a look, and then talk about the provincial government's plan to benefit the people, Mr. Chen will be generous, right?" Well, wait for me to write a sketch, and for reference, you follow the tips above to prepare. As for how effective it is, if we work hard, we don't have to care about the result. ”

"That's the best, then the subordinates will leave first." Zong Hui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and got up to leave.

The "God of Wealth" passed by, and Yang Tianfeng of course wanted to get financial assistance, but he didn't take this matter too seriously. It's good to be able to get more, but don't be upset if you can't get it. Go with the flow, but there may be unexpected surprises. (To be continued.) )
