Fortunately, after the establishment of the seventh detachment, according to the above arrangement, the political department of the detachment had contact with the underground organizations in several surrounding counties. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"In this way, Su Lan, you contact the Bengbu underground organization, pay close attention to Teacher Du's affairs, understand the situation clearly first, and then we will find a way." Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

In any case, Du Shangjuan used to be her teacher, and judging from the situation introduced by Su Lan, she should have fallen into the hands of Wang's puppet spy agency because she participated in anti-Japanese activities.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." After Su Lan went out, Liu Tianshu lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and walked towards Guo Sizhong's room.

Guo Sizhong listened to Liu Tianshu's introduction, was silent for a while and said, "Comrade Tianshu, what do you think?" ”

"Political commissar, I want to go to Bengbu in person." Liu Tianshu said in a low voice.

"What? You go to Bengbu in person, this is absolutely not possible, you are the leader of the detachment, you cannot leave the base area without the instructions of your superiors. It's not negotiable. Hearing that Liu Tianshu wanted to go to Bengbu in person, Guo Sizhong exclaimed.

"Political commissar, do you know that when I was in college in Yanjing, Teacher Du treated me like a sister, this time she fell into the hands of the enemy, and I will save her if I say anything." Liu Tianshu's eyes crossed the courtyard and looked at the sky to the north.

"I have no objection to saving people, but you can't go, we can arrange for someone to save them." Guo Sizhong did not budge.

Liu Tianshu also knew that it was a serious violation of discipline for him to leave the base area and go to a city where the enemy was heavily entrenched. After all, he is now a high-level cadre.

The current seventh detachment is at the same level as the fifth detachment, that is to say, Liu Tianshu, the detachment leader, of course, is also called the commander, and he is already on an equal footing with Commander Luo.

Of course, Liu Tianshu admires Commander Luo, a Red Army general who has experienced the long march.

"Commissar, is that okay? I didn't go into Bengbu City, and I took someone to command it outside the city in person, so it's okay. Anyway, everything is going well in the base area now, and the devils will never come to sweep in a short time, and I will come back in a week at most. Liu Tianshu said unrelentingly.

Of course, it is dangerous to enter the city by yourself, once the devil knows that he has entered Bengbu City, then why not come to a dragnet-style raid? However, if you don't enter the city, the danger is much smaller, although it is still an enemy-occupied area, but there is so much room to move, and you are moving with a small force, even if the devil knows that he is outside the city, it is very difficult to catch himself.

"You really promise not to go into town?" Guo Sizhong saw that Liu Tianshu was determined to save Du Shangjuan, so he looked at him and said.

"I, Liu Tianshu, are good at talking." Liu Tianshu said in a deep voice.

"Well, take the lump with you. I know how to answer if asked. Guo Sizhong thought for a while.

After the establishment of the Seventh Detachment, there was no excessive operation, and it is reasonable for Liu Tianshu, as the leader of the detachment, to personally take a main regiment to the enemy's theater of operations.

Besides, Ningyuan County was abandoned by the 16th Regiment last time, and Guo Sizhong is still a little sad about this.

If the Seventh Detachment can gain a foothold around the county seat of Ningyuan, it will also be a great thing for the development and expansion of the base area.

Ningyuan City is less than two hundred miles away from Bengbu, during which Liu Tianshu took the time to run outside Bengbu City, which can also be said to be a sudden change in the situation.

"Okay, political commissar, in this way, I will take a company of the reconnaissance brigade of the second regiment, plus a 92 infantry artillery company and a mortar company of the artillery regiment to march northward and quietly move in the direction of Ningyuan, if the conditions are suitable, I promise to take Ningyuan County." Liu Tianshu thought about it and felt that Guo Sizhong's political commissar was right.

Subsequently, several leaders of the detachment held a tense meeting, and it was decided that Liu Tianshu would personally command the troops to move north, Guo Sizhong's political commissar and Chief of Staff Liu would stay in the base area, and Su Lan, director of the political department, strongly requested to follow Liu Tianshu to the north, and everyone agreed after studying.

The Second Regiment immediately began to assemble, but by the time the Second Regiment, the infantry artillery company, and the mortar company began to assemble, Liu Tianshu and Su Lan, under the protection of a company of the reconnaissance brigade and a company of the guard battalion, had quietly moved north.

Following Liu Tianshu and Su Lan to the north, there are also sniper squads and grenadier squads under the reconnaissance brigade.

On the way north, Su Lan introduced the investigation to Liu Tianshu, and it turned out that after Du Shangjuan went south, he joined the Central Unification Organization and changed his name to Du Juanxiu.

She first worked as a reporter at Nanjing Daily, and later was stationed in Bengbu.

Many of the high-level people in Wang's puppet spy agency turned out to be people from the Central Committee and the military, and these people had a lot of connections with the agents in Chongqing. No, a Central Intelligence Officer in Bengbu who was in contact with Du Juanxiu was inadvertently recognized by a spy who had traveled from Nanjing to Bengbu on business, was secretly arrested, and couldn't help but be tortured, so Du Juanxiu was recruited.

According to Su Lan, the intelligence network of the Central Command in Bengbu has been devastated, and even the military command has also been affected.

After the troops arrived at Qingyangling, they were naturally stationed.

"Detachment leader, there is news from Bengbu." Seeing Liu Tianshu and Su Lan sitting in the room talking, Staff Officer Sun walked in with a telegram.

"What's the news? Go ahead. Liu Tianshu raised his head.

Seeing this situation, Staff Officer Sun immediately said: "Our people have found out, Teacher Du is now locked up in the Sunshine Hotel in Bengbu City, and she has not suffered any crime yet, but the enemy seems to be preparing to escort her to Nanjing." ”

"Did the devil's secret service intervene?" Liu Tianshu asked after hearing this.

"The devil's secret service doesn't know yet. It should be that Wang's puppet spy doesn't want the devil to know for the time being. Staff Officer Sun said.

"Order our people to keep a close watch on the Sunshine Hotel, and report anything unusual immediately." Liu Tianshu was relieved to hear that the devil's secret service had not intervened for the time being.

Once it is learned that Du Shangjuan is an agent of the Central Union, he will definitely intervene in this matter, and the people of Wang's puppet spy who concealed the Mei organ should be afraid that the devil would take credit after knowing about it.

You must know that No. 76 has been established for a few months, but it has not achieved much, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun are very strong people, so they naturally want to show their hands in front of the devil.

"Detachment leader, why don't I personally take someone to Bengbu." Staff Officer Sun said suddenly.

"You're going to Bengbu?" Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be stunned.

"I think I can better grasp the timing when I go to Bengbu." Staff Officer Sun said calmly.

Liu Tianshu thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay, in this way, you go to the reconnaissance brigade to pick people, form a special operation team, be sure to rescue Teacher Du, if there is anything, you contact me through the radio, the action team can be divided into two groups, one team stays outside the city to respond." If you don't succeed, we'll hijack the train. ”

Thinking of Teacher Du, Liu Tianshu gritted his teeth and said, Su Lan couldn't help but have a slightly wet eyes when he heard this.

Since joining the Eighth Route Army, Su Lan thinks that he has learned to be strong, and after arriving at the New Fourth Army, he has worked in the Fifth Detachment for another year, and he has long been accustomed to life and death. Not to mention hard-heartedness, but under normal circumstances, it is difficult to shed tears.

Who knew that seeing Liu Tianshu's situation of saving Teacher Du at all costs, she couldn't help but shed tears.

After seeing Staff Officer Sun leave quickly with the people, Liu Tianshu began to think about how to take Ning Yuan.

Last time, he handed over Ningyuan County to Hao Chaoyang and then withdrew, and then the devil army came, and finally Hao Chaoyang had to evacuate Ningyuan. According to the information obtained, the devils who reoccupied Ningyuan County not only hated Liu Tianshu to the core, but also were very angry with Hao Chaoyang, and even sent troops to chase Hao Chaoyang, and finally Hao Chaoyang had to flee to western Anhui with the few remaining men and horses.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianshu felt that he was sorry for Hao Chaoyang, if he hadn't let him enter Ningyuan City, I am afraid that his troops would not have been hit by the devils and suffered heavy losses.

Now in the area around Ningyuan County, there is no longer a single army of the Nationalist Government, except for Liu Tianshu's troops, of course.

Last time, when he evacuated Ningyuan County, he asked Staff Officer Sun to try to leave eight intelligence officers, and these people have not been used for half a year since they were left behind, and it was not until Liu Tianshu decided to attack Ningyuan that these people were urgently used.

However, in the past six months, although these people have not been in contact with Staff Officer Sun's people in Ningyuan, it does not mean that they do not observe and do not understand, no, in the afternoon, the situation in Ningyuan County was sent to Liu Tianshu.

"Su Lan, we have figured out the situation of the enemy in Ningyuan, the Japanese army stationed in Ningyuan County has a brigade and a regiment of the puppet army, a total of 2,200 people, mainly distributed in Ningyuan County, Jiangqiao Town under the Qingyang Mountains, Tonggu Town in the south of Ningyuan County, and Yuejiang Town in the west. Among them, there are more than 800 people in Ningyuan County, including three infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron of the Japanese army, plus a baggage brigade, an artillery squad, and so on, and the puppet army has two battalions in the county town and more than 600 people. The rest of the enemy were stationed in the three large strongholds of Jiangqiao, Tonggu and Yuejiang, as well as some other small strongholds. Liu Tianshu pointed to the map and introduced the enemy situation.

Hearing that there were more than 2,000 Japanese troops and puppet troops, Su Lan couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Tianshu, there are so many enemies, how are you going to fight?" ”

"I think it's still the old way, you see, Ningyuan County is less than two hundred miles away from Bengbu, and the distance to Huainan is about the same, once attacked, the most likely reinforcements are the enemies in these two places. However, I was prepared to wait for the second regiment to arrive, and immediately eat the enemy of Tonggu and Jiangqiao, and then attack Yuejiang Town while besieging the county seat of Ningyuan. As long as we eat the enemies of Yuejiang, Ningyuan will become a lonely city. It's just that there are more than 1,500 enemies in Ningyuan County, and the city walls of Ningyuan County are very strong, so the best way is to lure the enemy out to fight. Liu Tianshu said thoughtfully.

"Tianshu, what if the enemy in Bengbu and Huainan comes to reinforce us, we only have one regiment, is there less troops?" Su Lan said worriedly. (To be continued.) )
