Chapter 654: Bold and Careful Yang Zirong

October 18, 1943. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Shenyang.

Xiaolu had a great impact on this battle, because all the Eighth Route Army, including the Northeast Coalition Army, also participated in the battle, and the scope of the campaign involved several provinces, including some troops of the New Fourth Army were also involved in the war, and this family was not something that Xiaolu could command. So, Yan'an decided to be commanded by General Zhu.

The purpose of the campaign was to launch a campaign in Hebei, Rehe, western Henan in Shandong, the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi, the Heshuo region in Henan, and the eastern and northeastern parts of Suiyuan, in the southeastern and southern part of the campaign, so as to seize all the small and medium-sized cities below the county seat and achieve substantial control over them.

Commander-in-Chief Zhu commanded this battle, and the battle broke out lively. This battle is destined to take off for a long time. Because the Northeast attracted most of the Japanese troops in North China, North China's advantage was determined.

As a matter of fact, Central China should also take advantage, and this is one of the strategic purposes of this campaign.

This campaign will last for several months. In this campaign, there was one unit that did not move much, and only about half of the troops participated in the campaign.

This unit was Liu Deng's troops, the 129th Division.

The 129th Division consisted mainly of the former Four Front Armies, mainly the 385 Brigade and the 386 Brigade. The commander of the 386th Brigade is the famous Chen Geng, and the commander of the 385th Brigade is Wang Hongkun. Chen Xilian, the head of the 769 Regiment under Wang Hongkun, is also very famous. This time, the 385th Regiment of the 770th Brigade, under the leadership of Brigade Commander Wang Hongkun and Regiment Commander Zhang Caiqian, quietly crossed the Yellow River and headed south, and their purpose was Dabie Mountain.

Wang Hongkun was mainly active in the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions, and this time he was sent to Dabie Mountain in order to pave the way for the reoccupation of Dabie Mountain in the future.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, there were no Japanese troops in the Dabie Mountain area, and it was very close to the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan, and the location was sensitive, so no advance troops were dispatched.

Yan'an's task to Wang Hongkun was to develop quietly and not to make a big fuss, unless he could not win the hearts of the people, he would fight a few battles in the local area, and the rest of the time would mainly focus on establishing a base area.

The other force was Chen Geng's troops, and Xu Shenji, the commander of the 771st Regiment, led a regiment to quietly cross the Yellow River southwest of Luoyang and penetrate deep into the mountains of western Henan. Their task was also to develop quietly, to open up a base in the mountainous areas of western Henan, and to pave the way for the Jiangnan army to move south.

Xiao Lu took Yan'an's notice and was very relieved to know that the Eighth Route Army was going south. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "How is the suppression of bandits in the Binsui Tujia area?" ā€

A staff officer said: "Commander-in-chief, you can't be busy with so many major affairs in the country, why are you so concerned about the work of suppressing bandits near the Mudanjiang River?" ā€

Xiaolu smiled and said: "More than a dozen major events have been settled, so I have the energy to pay attention to the work around the Mudanjiang River." You must know that at present, the north of the Songhua River is our base area, and it must be absolutely stable. In the previous stage, the Kuomintang was active in this area, and they encouraged many bandits who had washed their hands of gold to go back to the mountains and become political bandits. The political bandits are not extinguished, and I am disturbed. A large amount of our military supplies must be transported from this area, and there is no room for loss. ā€

Another staff officer said, "Yes." You've just joined the work here and don't know what the previous phase was deployed for. Two months ago, the commander-in-chief personally inquired about the plan designated by Commander Wang Renzhi. That is, a regiment is responsible for a county, and all cadres at the regimental and battalion levels lead small detachments of about 40 people to go deep into the mountainous areas to fight and suppress bandits. The squad is not only a combat team, but also a task force. They should strengthen the confidence of the people in the mountainous areas in the new government, establish political power at the grassroots level, and eliminate the blind spots in their previous work. ā€

Naturally, Xiaolu can't tell them about their hero complex.

When he was a teenager, most of the cartoons on TV were imported, and he bought some modern cartoon books. However, some of the comic books kept by his father were not thrown away, and he read almost all the old villain books in a summer vacation, among them, a full set of Three Kingdoms, a full set of Water Margin, and the railway guerrillas, outwitting Weihu Mountain had a great impact on him, for this reason, he also specially found a novel to read.

After studying history, when he traveled all over the world, he also went to Yang Zirong near Hailin to see it. He knew that in history, Yang Zirong did have his own person, and Qu Bo, the author of "Lin Hai Xueyuan", was their leader and the prototype of Shao Jianbo in the book. In fact, the Eighth Route Army of Shandong's will was in the northeast from Longkou, Shandong Province by sea after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, all the way to Heilongjiang, and the army has expanded to two regiments.

Qu Bo participated in the Anti-Japanese War when he was a teenager and joined the Eighth Route Army, and at the age of 22, he served as the deputy political commissar of the regiment, leading a small detachment into the mountains to suppress bandits. Yang Zirong, Gao Bo, Sun Dade and others were witty and brave, led by Yang Zirong, exterminated the mountain carving bandit gang, and captured the mountain carving himself, which made great contributions. Yang Zirong received the honor of hero, and later died in the battle against bandits. Gao Bo also died in battle.

Yang Zirong's family knew decades later that the majestic Yang Zirong in the movie "Lin Hai Xueyuan" and the Peking Opera "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" turned out to be Yang Zonggui, a missing soldier from his own family, and they were full of emotion.

Now Xiaolu has mastered the situation in the northeast, and as in the history of all parts of Shandong and Hebei, a large number of troops have entered the northeast. It's just that it's a lot earlier. Xiaolu paid attention to the troops from Shandong, and sure enough, he found the second detachment from Shandong, and as in history, the second detachment also expanded into two regiments, which belonged to the Mudanjiang army and were led by Wang Renzhi.

Qu Bo was only eighteen years old when he was found on the path, and he has participated in the Eighth Road for three years, although he is young, he is a veteran soldier, knows martial arts, fights bravely, and is already a company commander. As in history, Yang Zirong just returned to Shandong, joined the militia, participated in the Eighth Road, and went to the Northeast, because he was old and became a man first, but because he was familiar with the Northeast culture and banditry, he was transferred out of the cooking class and became a scout.

Under Xiaolu's care, Qu Bo went to college, and Yang Zirong received special combat team training.

Originally, the bandits in the Northeast were basically extinct, and there were basically no bandits in the mountains and forests, and Xiaolu felt that his idols could only show their might in other battles.

Unexpectedly, the recovery of the Outer Northeast and the huge pressure on North China led to the lack of military strength in the hinterland of the Northeast, the Second Route Army was scattered on the line from Vladivostok on Sakhalin Island to North Korea, Yang Jingyu's first army was distributed on the Rehe line in North China, and Zhao Shangzhi's Third Army was distributed on the line from the Great Khing'an Mountains to Siberia.

According to the plan, once the enemy in Outer Mongolia was eliminated, Zhao Shangzhi's large troops scattered in various places were assembled in the south to support the North China battlefield and prepare for the attack on Korea and Japan.

There is just not enough troops to maintain law and order.

At this time, all kinds of commissioners sent by Chongqing began to carry out their activities, and the dregs in the hinterland of the northeast were overflowing, and almost all the bandit capitals that had escaped the net went up the mountain to pull poles, and a large number of colonels, major generals, regiment commanders, and brigade commanders popped up. As a result, Wang Renzhi was appointed head of the public security forces and integrated the local security forces and militia.

Wang Renzhi was short of people, so he urgently recalled all those who studied, trained, and even rested to participate in the battle. By mistake, Qu Bo and Yang Zirong returned to the battlefield of suppressing bandits.

Xiaolu specially asked Wang Renzhi that each squad must be equipped with new guns and weapons that must have an overwhelming advantage over the bandits.

Just when Xiaolu was worried about Yang Zirong, what was he doing?

Yang Zonggui, now called Yang Zirong, has been walking north at Hengdao Hezi Station for a few days. Hengdaohezi Station is a station on the Mudanjiang-Harbin Railway, not far from Mudanjiang.

Yang Zirong is now the squad leader, and he leads a small detachment of six people to clear out the bandits in Weihu Mountain. In his class, there are Sun Dade, Gao Bo and so on. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes,

Now, the equipment of the Northeast Coalition Army is relatively good, so much better than in history that I don't know how many times. They originally came out in military uniforms, but this time, in order to be surprised, they changed their clothes and went into the mountains. After turning around for a few days, I came to a place called Toad Pond,

There was a shack where a dozen people lived who looked like lumberjacks. Yang Zirong used bandit gestures and black words to test it, saying that several of his people were messengers and fought a battle with the eight roads that suppressed the bandits. The mountain carving they were going to visit, and they wanted to ask someone to help pull the strings and go to the top of the mountain carving. The one who led the way died.

At the beginning, no one paid attention to them, and for a long time, a foreman who claimed to be surnamed Meng accosted him and interrogated him for a while, the main question was why there was a new weapon of the Eight Roads, and Yang Zirong said that it was captured after winning the battle.

Foreman Meng seemed to be relieved of his doubts, and replied to Yang Zirong in black words, promising to take them to a place. He took out a saw, an axe, a small shovel and a small iron bucket containing half a bucket of bud rice noodles from the shed, handed them to Yang Zirong and the others, and then took them to an empty wooden shed 20 miles away, and after a few words, he left.

Today, Yang Zirong and they have been waiting in the shed for three days, and they don't see the shadow of Foreman Meng, and the only little bud rice noodles have been eaten, and they can't help but feel a little anxious, worried about whether the situation has changed.

Yang Zirong is the oldest, is the backbone of everyone, comforts everyone, and asks everyone to calm down, he believes that Foreman Meng will definitely lead everyone to Weihu Mountain.

When he was in a hurry, Foreman Meng came back.

Yang Zirong asked, "Why did you go for so long?" Don't you want anything? ā€

Foreman Meng: "Some people under the third master don't believe it, I heard that the commissioner from Chongqing has been arrested by the Eighth Road." ā€

Yang Zirong said: "When we met, we naturally made it clear." But you don't believe us, we don't believe you yet. The last time I encountered the eight roads, it was because of the two who led the way, and one of them had already cast the eight roads. ā€

Foreman Meng: "That can't. The people under the third master are loyal. ā€

Foreman Meng took them with him. After walking for a long time, I arrived at a nearby tunzi. There are only a few families in the tunzi, and it seems that there is no one in the tunzi. Foreman Meng led them into the house.

There are two people in this house. The two first tried the bandits' black words, and when they saw Yang Zirong's answers, they revealed their true identities. One claimed to be surnamed Liu, Liu Zhaocheng, who was the adjutant of the "Mountain Carving" and concurrently served as the liaison minister, and the other was Li Yitang, who was the secretary and company commander.

The two agreed to introduce Yang Zirong and others to the mountain, but they have been delayed for the past few days, and they have met the Eighth Road Squad. I can't get food, so I can only get some food in this tun now.

Yang Zirong said: "We came this time to see the third master, please lead the way." ā€

Liu Zhaocheng held the gun and said, "It's okay to lead the way, call the gun out." The pistol was pointed at Yang Zirong. Yang Zirong was quick, his left hand knocked out, and his gun was opened, and the pistol in his right hand was already aimed at him.

Yang Zirong said: "Want to get off my gun? To be on the safe side, I have to ask the two of you to be wronged, and my hands are tied. ā€

Liu Zhaocheng said: "What is this for?" Misunderstanding, right? As if Yang Zirong didn't hold a gun at all just now, his words were very soft.

Yang Zirong: "We are scared of the eight roads, and we have to guard against it." You're going to shoot me again, no way. In the future, I saw the third master safely, handed over the things, and then made amends to the two. ā€

Liu Zhaocheng said: "Okay then. The two men came forward, unbolted their guns, and gave them to carry them, tying their hands with ropes. The two bandits felt that they would know when they got to the mountain, and they didn't care too much, so they led Yang Zirong and them straight to "Weihu Mountain".

A group of eight people went on the road, walked for half a day, and arrived at Weihu Mountain.
