The special team that arrived later, with the full cooperation of the Japanese puppet army surrounding the lake, searched the reeds by Qingyang Lake and the small islands in the lake, but no trace of the New Fourth Army was found, and no imperial soldiers were attacked by the New Fourth Army.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Oda Sakurako simply couldn't believe his ears, and he dispatched so many troops to surround Qingyang Lake, but finally let these Chinese run away, which is simply a great shame.

However, she believed in the special squad leader Yokono, who said that there was no New Fourth hiding around the lake, so there must be no New Fourth Army staying in it. Besides, the daytime search is a sliced dragnet search, and if there are people in the reed forest, they can't hide from Yokono's eyes at all.

As for all the people around the lake, they were all gathered together, and at the same time a close investigation was carried out, and there were no strangers hiding in it at all.

Fortunately, after the identification of the Chinese who were killed, it was determined that the anti-Japanese guerrillas operating in Qingyang Lake were basically eliminated.

Just when Oda Sakurako was extremely severely criticized by the head of the agency and was about to withdraw the troops, the corpse of the agent team that was originally guarding the south was finally found in the lake, and seeing these four agents, a stone was placed on their bodies, Oda Sakurako's eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, revealing an indescribable cold light.

Since the New Fourth Army had escaped from the encirclement, there was no point in tossing around by Qingyang Lake, so according to the instructions of the head of the agency, the Japanese puppet troops who cooperated with the operation returned one after another, and only the agents of the Mei agency and the people of No. 76 continued to pursue. At the same time, the Japanese troops in Huzhou and Suzhou were ordered to increase the blockade of Taihu Lake.

It's a pity that the Japanese army still underestimated the energy of the reconnaissance team of the independent division and the intelligence personnel, and escaped from the squad pursued by Oda Sakurako, and under the response of a special operations team that came to greet them, when Oda Sakurako arrived in Huzhou with spies, they had successfully passed through the blockade line of the Japanese army in Huzhou and returned to the division headquarters in Si'an.

When Liu Tianshu learned that Zheng Dadong and the others were back, he immediately went to meet them with several division leaders.

"Comrade Dadong, you have worked hard." Seeing Zheng Dadong and the others covered in dust, Liu Tianshu stepped forward and whispered.

"Division commander, it was Dadong who did not do a good job, and the comrades of the guerrillas sacrificed themselves in order to cover us." Thinking that Captain Wang and the others rushed forward in the face of the devil's bullets in order to cover them, and in the end they were all sacrificed, Zheng Dadong, Guo Kaicheng and others all had moist eyes.

"I know this, they're all doing well." Liu Tianshu nodded emotionally.

At this time, Peter walked over, saw Liu Tianshu, listened to Su Peiyuan's introduction, his eyes lit up, his hands were spread, and he shouted Hello, Master Liu.

Liu Tianshu learned that the person in front of him was Peter, and immediately said politely: "Mr. Peter, welcome to our guest." ”

Subsequently, the two came to a big hug with true love.

Peter didn't expect the famous Master Liu to be so young, and his curious eyes couldn't help but look up and down on Liu Tianshu, Liu Tianshu smiled, and introduced him to Jiang Jinyong and Su Lan who were standing on the side in English.

Peter didn't expect Liu Tianshu, Jiang Jinyong and Su Lan to speak English, and he was even more excited.

After returning to the division headquarters, Jiang Jinyong arranged accommodation for Peter and his companions, and at the same time had a change of clothes sent to them, while Liu Tianshu and Sun Xuexuan listened to Zheng Dadong's report in detail.

In the afternoon, Shi Qiang also rushed to the division headquarters from Tianmu Mountain.

After the machinery and weapons he escorted returned to the base area, those mortars and shells were naturally sent to the artillery regiment, and those machines and equipment that Liu Tianshu regarded as treasures were sent to the arsenal in Tianmu Mountain.

Considering the pressure of logistical supply after the expansion of the independent division, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong discussed and decided to expand the arsenal.

Because there is no machine tool, the arsenal of the independent division is still in the era of handicraft workshops, and this time Liu Tianshu spent a lot of strength to buy equipment from Shanghai, which is to prepare to use the water energy in the stream of Tianmu Mountain to build a small hydroelectric power plant, and then use it to drive the machinery of the arsenal.

Although the arsenal also removed a few gasoline engines from abandoned cars, fuel was not readily available.

If we can use hydropower to generate electricity, we can solve a big problem.

With regard to the construction of the arsenal, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong only formulated a plan, but Minister Luo of the division's logistics department was in charge of the specific facilities.

After listening to Zheng Dadong's report, Liu Tianshu's mind flew to the north of Qingyang Lake again, and he didn't know what happened to Shi Hu and them.

That night, he received the last telegram from Shi Hu, saying that they had joined Shen Gu and others, but the Japanese special forces had been found on the shore of Qingyang Lake, and the situation was urgent, so he had decided to smash the radio station and then try to break through.

Later, I didn't hear from Shi Hu and others.

Shi Hu and Chen Jian and others are all good brothers who followed him all the way from Taihang Mountain to Shandong, and the relationship was extraordinarily thick, knowing that Shi Hu and others had lost contact, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang discussed it and told Chen Jian about it over the phone.

When Jian Chen learned that Shi Hu was behind enemy lines, he couldn't wait to go north from Wukang immediately and go behind enemy lines to meet Shi Hu in person, but thinking that with Shi Hu's ability, it was really not easy for the devil to catch him, so he held down his concern.

On the third day of Oda's arrival in Huzhou, Oda Sakurako received a secret telegram from the head of the agency, saying that the inside line had received news that the two Americans had entered Liu Tianshu's base area.

Oda Sakurako was stunned for a while, and after a while, she called one of her subordinates, and after a few words, she returned directly to Shanghai according to the instructions of the head of the agency.

Peter stayed in Si'an for 10 days, during which Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong had a great time with him, but at Peter's request, Liu Tianshu still used the radio to get in touch with the Third War Zone, and asked the Third War Zone to inform the US Liaison Department in Chongqing about Peter.

Subsequently, the Third War Zone forwarded a message from Chongqing, agreeing that Peter would go to Chongqing from the Third War Zone.

On the day Peter left Si'an, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong braved the morning fog to see him off.

"General Liu, thank you for your hospitality, I am about to return home, but I believe that we will meet again, and at that time, I will invite you to drink authentic American champagne."

"Dear Mr. Peter, little Japan is our common enemy, and our friendship is a friendship that can stand the test of war. Liu Tianshu also said sincerely.

Not to mention, during this time with Peter, he really felt the sincerity and reality of the Americans, especially the establishment of the small power station in his arsenal, Peter had a lot of ideas for himself.

It wasn't until Peter, escorted by the reconnaissance brigade, disappeared into the distance that Liu Tianshu and the others returned to the division headquarters.

Not long after arriving at the division headquarters and sitting down, Sun Xuexuan ran out with excitement on his face.

"Political commissar, division commander, Shi Hu, they're back."

"What? Shi Hu is back, let's go, go and have a look. Hearing Shi Hu coming back, Liu Tianshu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he stood up suddenly, ignoring the books that accidentally touched the ground, and walked out directly.

Walking out of the compound of the division headquarters, I saw a group of fighters gathered together, and when I saw the division commander and political commissar come out, the soldiers who were talking around immediately quieted down and quickly dispersed at the same time.

At this time, what appeared in front of Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong were Shi Hu and Shen Gu who were wearing dirty clothes that could no longer be dirty, covered in gunsmoke and exhausted.

Seeing the division commander and political commissar coming, Shi Hu's eyes were wet, and he said in a choked voice: "Division commander, political commissar, we are back." ”

"Shi Hu, comrades, you are finally back, this time you have worked hard, I thank you on behalf of the independent division." After speaking, Liu Tianshu suddenly raised his right hand and gave a standard military salute.

Seeing Liu Tianshu saluting solemnly, Jiang Jinyong and the other soldiers in the courtyard also raised their hands to salute you.

At this moment, Shi Hu, Shen Gu and the others couldn't help but tremble, and as Shi Hu shouted and saluted, the eight of them held their heads high and raised their hands in salute.

Then, Liu Tianshu hugged Shi Hu, slapped his big hand on his back a few times, and muttered in his mouth: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

When these words were heard in the ears of Shi Hu and the soldiers around him, tears rained down.

Not long after Shi Hu and the others returned, the New Seventh Brigade sent an urgent telegram that the 144th Division of the Japanese Army was assembling and seemed to be making some moves.

After receiving the report, several people from the division headquarters immediately gathered around the map to look at it.

After the Japanese 144th Division repelled the troops in western Zhejiang in the Third Theater, it had been staying on the front line of the Fuchun River, how could it suddenly assemble this time? Could it be that the Japanese army wanted to use the 144th Division to attack Wukang?

Liu Tianshu, Jiang Jinyong and others couldn't help but have some doubts, you must know that the current position of the 144th Division is still far from Wukang than the 22nd Division in Hangzhou, even if it wants to attack Wukang, the Japanese army should also use the 22nd Division, how can they be willing to seek the near and far.

After studying for a long time, they were still puzzled, so they could only order Hao Mengxuan to send people to keep an eye on the enemy, trying to find out the true purpose of the Japanese army, and at the same time, ordering the independent regiment operating in Siming Mountain to be vigilant and beware of the devil's sweep.

After Hao Mengxuan received a call from the division headquarters, he suddenly had an understanding, stared at the map and studied it for a long time, and found that it was really as the division headquarters expected, the little devils concentrated on the 144th Division, and there was indeed a possibility of sweeping in the direction of Siming Mountain.

The current location of the 144th Division is not very far from Siming Mountain, and Gao Weiheng's independent regiment has made a lot of noise in the area of Siming Mountain, and there is not only a main force regiment, but also more than 2,000 local troops, which have developed to a certain scale in Siming Mountain.

The eastern side of Siming Mountain is close to the sea, there are countless islands, and it also threatens the safety of Hangzhou Bay, and it is reasonable for the devils to want to eliminate the independent regiment.

Thinking of this, Hao Mengxuan decided to draw out a regiment of troops to go south, posing as an attack on Linchuan, forcing the 144th Division not to dare to go east with all its might. (To be continued.) )
