After reading the information, Wang Shuihe looked stern, handed the note to Tang Shui, looked at Tang Shuihe and said to Shuyu: "Minister Tang, Comrade Shuyu, the devils in the county town began to assemble today, and at the same time, the devils and puppet armies in the entire Fuchang County strongholds are also mobilized very frequently. It seems that the devils will have a big operation. You say, what the hell does this old devil Watanabe want to do? ”

Xiang Shuyu took the note handed by Tang Shui, and saw that the devils in various strongholds in Fuchang County seemed to be moving, and the devils in the city were also gathering, so he couldn't help but sink in his heart, and looked at Wang Shuihe: "Secretary Wang, do you think the devils will suddenly sweep our base area?" ”

Liu Tianshu, the acting battalion commander of the independent battalion, was sent by Secretary Wang Shuihe to pick up patriotic students, and Xiang Shuyu had a different opinion on this matter in his heart at that time, but Wang Shuihe was the secretary and the party's top leader in Fuchang County, so she naturally did not want to oppose it directly.

Besides, she has been in contact with Secretary Wang Shuihe for many years and knows that he has the arrogance of an intellectual, and once he decides something, it will not change easily.

It's just that if Watanabe really wants to mobilize a large army to sweep the base area this time, without Liu Tianshu sitting in command on Fuya Mountain, it will not be easy to smash the sweep of the devils.

"Probably not, Watanabe only suffered at our hands two months ago, and now our strength has been greatly expanded, the independent battalion already has six companies of troops, the little devil may not have such a big appetite." Wang Shuihe thought about it for a while and felt that this possibility was not very large.

After all, the base area developed rapidly during this period, not only did each village form a militia, but the independent battalion also had five infantry companies and a machine gun company.

Of course, of these five infantry companies, two of them were deployed in Songkan Town, one in Shigou Village, one in the direction of Qinglong Valley, and one was left in Yaping Village.

"Secretary Wang, do you think Watanabe, this old devil, wants to be unfavorable to the team?" Tang Shui thought of the team led by Liu Tianshu, and couldn't help but say worriedly.

"I don't think this is very likely, after all, there are only a few dozen people in the squad, even if Watanabe wants to catch these patriotic students, he doesn't need to make such a big formation, I think it is necessary to convey this situation to Instructor Zhu and Comrade Zeng Wei, so that the independent battalion can prepare in advance, and at the same time, the base area is also ready to deal with the large-scale sweep of devils." Xiang Shuyu thought for a moment and said.

To tell the truth, Liu Tianshu is not in the base area, if the devil really gathers heavy troops to sweep the base area, she really has no bottom in her heart about whether she can successfully smash the devil's heavy army sweep.

Comrade Zhu Aiguo is indeed very good at doing ideological work, but when it comes to commanding troops to fight, I am afraid that he is still not as good as Liu Tianshu.

"Comrade Shuyu is right, in this way, Minister Tang, let our people closely monitor the movements of the devils, and at the same time order the comrades in the city to try to find out the true purpose of the devils. Order Yang Donghu of Songkan Town to prepare to prevent the devils from attacking Songkan, once the devils attack with heavy troops, I think I will consider letting Yang Donghu abandon Songkan Town and withdraw the troops to Fuya Mountain. Wang Shuihe nodded, and decided to issue a combat readiness order to the independent battalion in the name of the county party committee.

Xiang Shuyu saw that Wang Shuihe had no intention of discussing with Zhu Aiguo, the instructor of the independent battalion, and directly decided to let Yang Donghu give up Songkan Town once the situation was not right. She couldn't help but feel dark.

Xiang Shuyu has never doubted Secretary Wang Shuihe's party spirit, and Wang Shuihe is a qualified secretary in both the struggle against the enemy and organizational building, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he may not be able to do it.

It's just that the provincial party committee has clearly instructed that Comrade Wang Shuihe is responsible for both the party organization in Fuchang County and the Fuyashan base area, and even if she has a different opinion in her heart, she has to obey the organization's decision.

After leaving the seat of the county party committee, Xiang Shuyu came to the independent battalion headquarters according to the instructions of Secretary Wang Shuihe.

"County Magistrate Xiang, why are you here?" Seeing Xiang Shuyu coming to the battalion headquarters, Zhu Aiguo hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

After the county party committee entered the base area, it subsequently established the Fuchang County Anti-Japanese Democratic Regime, and Xiang Shuyu served as the county magistrate of the Fuchang County Anti-Japanese Democratic Regime.

"Instructor, let's go, let's talk in the house." Xiang Shuyu smiled at Zhu Aiguo and walked into the house with him.

"What? The devils in Fuchang County are gathering and have a big operation? Zhu Aiguo couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Xiang Shuyu's words.

"Yes, according to the information we have received, both the Maotang stronghold and the Pingyuan stronghold have increased their troops, and the devils in the county town are assembling, and the enemy in the county's strongholds is frequently mobilized." Xiang Shuyu said with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Zhu Aiguo hurriedly asked, "What instructions does Secretary Wang Shuihe have?" ”

"Secretary Wang Shuihe asked me to tell you, you must be prepared for the anti-sweep, the county party committee thinks that the devil's target this time may be Songkan Town, if Songkan Town can't hold on, everything is focused on preserving strength, and when necessary, Songkan Town can be abandoned." Xiang Shuyu said slowly.

"Abandon Songkan Town? What about the folks? Zhu Aiguo was anxious when he heard this. You must know that after Yang Donghu was in Songkan Town, many anti-Japanese activists have emerged in various villages there, and many party members have exposed their identities among the masses.

Otherwise, once these comrades fall into the hands of devils, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Comrade instructor, after the troops withdrew from Songkan Town, these comrades immediately went underground and continued to lead the underground struggle in Songkan Town, and I believe that it will not be long before our troops will retake Songkan Town." Xiang Shuyu's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice.

After being sent to Shuyu, Zhu Aiguo called Zeng Wei over, and after the two discussed, they thought that the devil was sweeping the base area at this time, and the matter was very important, and he must immediately contact Camp Commander Liu.

It's a pity that Liu Tianshu's radio station has been turned off, and Yang Juan called for two hours, but there was still no response.

In desperation, Zhu Aiguo had no choice but to convey the instructions of the county party committee to Yang Donghu through the radio, and at the same time ordered the troops stationed in Songkan to immediately enter a state of emergency combat readiness.

Just when Zhu Aiguo was worried, Liu Tianshu led the team and finally rushed to a small village three miles away from Fukan Town.

Lao Song followed the team into a courtyard and suddenly saw a familiar figure, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he saw that it was his daughter Song Yumei standing in the courtyard, he suddenly shouted: "Yumei." ”

Song Yumei turned around when she heard the sound, saw her father standing in the courtyard, and immediately shouted her father in surprise, and then threw herself into Lao Song's arms.

Lao Song touched his daughter's head with a trembling hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yumei, daddy's good daughter, daddy finally saw you." ”

After a while, Lao Song wiped away the tears on his face, walked up to Liu Tianshu, who was looking at him with a smile, and pulled his daughter and said in a trembling voice: "Camp Commander Liu, thank you for saving my daughter, Yumei, kowtow to Camp Commander Liu." ”

Song Yumei immediately knelt down obediently, so panicked that Liu Tianshu hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her, and said in her mouth: "Miss Song, get up quickly, the Eighth Route Army is not doing this, get up quickly." ”

Seeing his daughter standing aside and constantly wiping away tears, Lao Song looked at Liu Tianshu and said miserably: "Camp Commander Liu, I know that I am deeply guilty, and I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that Camp Chief Liu can help me take care of Yumei if he has the opportunity in the future." ”

When Liu Tianshu heard Lao Song's words, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, nodded solemnly and said, "Old Song, you just have to rest assured, I will treat Yumei as my own sister." ”

Although Lao Song committed an unforgivable sin, his daughter was innocent, and Liu Tianshu decided to help him take care of Yumei within the scope of his ability.

After entering the house, Shi Qiang and Chen Jian came over to report the situation of the team, and now the team is hiding in a village less than three miles away from Fukan Town, unless the devil has the help of the gods, otherwise, they would never have thought that the team is hiding under their noses.

At least in the eyes of the devils, this village called Xiaowangzhuang, surrounded by no shelter, is not suitable for the Eighth Route Army to hide at all.

Liu Tianshu chose Xiaowangzhuang, in fact, when he was about to leave the base, he told Shuyu that when the situation was urgent, he could go to Xiaowangzhuang to find Uncle He. It's just that he never revealed it to anyone.

Even Tang Shui, who was in charge of the underground transportation line, didn't know that Uncle He of Xiaowangzhuang was his own person, and he didn't know that Xiang Shuyu had quietly explained to Liu Tianshu. The team entered the courtyard and immediately hid in the house, Uncle He's home was in the west of the village, separated from the neighbors by dozens of meters, it was a separate yard, the team quietly entered Uncle He's house, and the people in the village did not know.

Of course, the first to arrive at Uncle He's house was the battle team that went to rescue Song Yumei. "Uncle He, this is our captain Liu Tianshu, captain, this is Uncle He." A soldier named Cao Qian pointed to Uncle He, who followed him into the room, and introduced to Liu Tianshu. Last night, Cao Qian, with two soldiers, rushed to Lao Song's house, quietly killed the two plainclothes who were monitoring Song Yumei, and rushed to Xiaowangzhuang with Song Yumei overnight, according to Liu Tianshu's instructions, found Uncle He's house, and connected with Uncle He.

"Hello Uncle He, we're here to trouble you this time." As soon as Liu Tianshu saw Uncle He, he immediately said sincerely.

"Hehe, look at what you said, you are the people introduced by Shuyu's child, we are all revolutionary comrades, we are a family, and the family does not need to see each other." Uncle He said boldly.

Uncle He can be said to be an underground party member developed by Xiang Shuyu himself, and I don't know what Xiang Shuyu thinks, she has always maintained a one-line contact with Uncle He, and has not arranged for other comrades to contact him at all, even the underground organization of Xiaowangzhuang, and I don't know that this old man He is still his own comrade.

After talking a few words to Uncle He, Liu Tianshu asked Fu Cong to turn on the radio, and as soon as he got in touch with the base area, he received an urgent message from Zhu Aiguo.

Liu Tianshu took the telegram, looked at it carefully, and immediately frowned, and his face became extremely dignified.
