After the National Youth League occupied Zhangdian, it seized an important strategic passage and pass for the anti-Japanese resistance of Zhongtiao Mountain, so that the troops of the chief Niudao retreated for a long time in several cities such as Yuncheng and Xia County, and did not dare to invade Zhongtiao Mountain again. The Chinese anti-Japanese army really controlled a strategic barrier at the southwest end of the mountain - Zhongtiao Mountain, west from Yongji to Yuanqu in the east, and Jiezhou in the middle; Zhangdian; Qijia River; Changzhi connected it into a main line of defense, and encountered Linyi, which was occupied by the Japanese army; Yuncheng; Xia County became a confrontation position, and fully controlled Zhongtiao Mountain.

In the First Battle of Zhangdian, although Liu Zhizhao's troops only ambushed the Japanese troops scattered in Zhangdian and were unfriendly to the Kuomintang troops who had fought against the Japanese in the battlefield, Shen Shaofan still made a major general's demeanor, and gave all the Japanese weapons captured in the Battle of Zhangdian to the independent regiment, plus a large number of equipment captured when fighting the Emperor's Allied Army in Henan, of course, this is also on Liu Zhizhao's face to a certain extent.

After nearly half a month, Chiang Kai-shek added a large number of recruits and some equipment to the National Youth League, of course, these recruits were all students who had just come out of school, and most of them were from Shanxi; Henan; Most of the hot-blooded young people brought by Shandong have been reduced to Japanese-occupied areas, and they have been devastated by devils, and the students and the Japanese have a common enmity. Along with the arrival of the recruits and equipment, there is also a five-member anti-special staff group of the military commander, among which Sun Zhiyu's longing White Rose was also appointed as the chief of staff of the Intelligence Section of the National Youth League.

The National Youth League mainly has five defensive positions in Zhangdian, which are east; West; There are three main positions and two connecting positions in the north, and there are battalions with a relatively complete structure; 4 battalions; The 5th Battalion served as the defense of the main defensive position, and the 1st Battalion and the Battalion suffered great losses in the breakthrough of the two counties, so the current task was to train recruits to improve their combat effectiveness, and the pre-cadre column served as the defensive connection position, which extended from the west of Zhangdian and connected with the position of Zhang Zhiheng of the 1st Division of the Central Army in Hejiezhou, which happened to face Yuncheng. The independent column extended east of Zhangdian and connected with Liu Feng's 1st Division to form a strong line of defense against the invading enemy from Yuncheng and Xia County.

The frontal defensive position of Zhongtiao Mountain is still garrisoned by the Kuomintang army, and the 1st Army Corps of Sun Weiru is responsible for the defense from the Yellow River across Yongji to Jiezhou in the west, which is called the Jijie Defense Line. From Jiezhou to Zhangdian, most of the 1st Division Zhang Zhiheng was responsible for the defense, called the Jiezhang Defense Line, and the advance column of the National Youth League was only responsible for the section closest to the Jiezhang Defense Line, mainly to fill the vacancy in the Jiezhang Defense Line to make up for the threat of the right flank of the 1st Division. Most of the defense line from Zhangdian to Qijiahe is the independent column of the defense area of the 1st Division Liufeng, and it is also responsible for the section closest to Zhangdian to make up for the threat of the left flank of the 1st Division, called the Zhangqi Defense Line. Qijia River to Changzhi has the 186th Brigade of the Jin Sui Army, Zhang Weirong is responsible for the defense line. As long as Yuanqu has the original 88th Division and 6th Division of the Central Army; The 7th Division and the 8th Division of the Central Army became the Nagaki Defense Line.

Shen Shaofan's Youth League headquarters is in the north of Pinglu County, and the guard battalion is responsible for the north of Pinglu; West; To the east of the city defense matters of the three southern places is the defense area of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the logistics column; reconnaissance battalions; The special service battalion is stationed in Pinglu County, the cavalry company is in the western suburbs of the county town to facilitate cavalry training, and the engineer company and artillery company are stationed in the northwest of Pinglu. Shaofan chose Pinglu because Pinglu is not far from Zhangdian, and it is three hours on foot, although Zhangdian is a pass, but the place is not suitable for stationing a large number of troops, and Pinglu is south of the Yellow River, north of Zhongtiao, mountains, walls, ditches, and beaches, the terrain is complex, which is convenient for troops to be stationed and hidden, and the products are rich and can be stationed for a long time.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army were mainly in Duzhuang; Mo Nan; ZHANG Yu; The three gates are deep in the rear. Liu Zhizhao's troops were located at Sanmen, but the regimental headquarters was also located in Pinglu County, and there was a guard company and a reconnaissance company in the east, and they were also responsible for the defense of the east gate.

At the headquarters of the Pinglu County East Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Zhizhao was looking at the report of the theater in recent days and the report at the last meeting of the party branch of the army.

At this time, Shi Dagen, the deputy head of the regiment, walked in and said, "Lao Liu, you have something to do with me!" ”

Liu Zhizhao looked at it and said, "Yes! In order to increase the combat effectiveness of our army in Zhongtiao Mountain, the higher authorities decided to send the Kunshan Independent Column over to merge with our Independent Regiment. ”

"The Kuoshan Independent Column? All right! Listening to their strong fighting, there are twenty or thirty crooked hands! If we merge, our combat effectiveness will be stronger. Shi Dagen said happily.

Liu Zhiyu smiled and said: "After the merger, we will be reorganized into an independent column, Huang Huancheng will be the column leader, you will be the deputy column leader and the leader of the reconnaissance detachment, and I will be the political commissar and captain of the detachment of the column." ”

Shi Dagen didn't care and said, "Hey! As long as you can fight devils, you can do anything. ”

"Good! I just appreciate your coolness. Liu Zhizhao said with a smile.

Shi Dagen asked with a grin: "Regiment leader!" Sister-in-law and Miss Jin will be back in two days. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Zhizhao looked at the meeting materials and suddenly raised his head sharply and said solemnly: "Hey! Dagen, don't have any more thoughts about Comrade Jin, don't even think about them. ”

"Why?" Shi Dagen jumped up anxiously when he heard this.

Liu Zhizhao looked at him and smiled, closed the material and said, "Why! It's just that Comrade Jin doesn't feel for you. ”

"Don't feel it? Why does Kim keep helping me do my laundry or something? ”

"That's Comrade Kim helpful. Comrade Kim often sews clothes for the slingshot! ”

"Then she keeps calling me Goller!" Shi Dagen said with a spirit.

Liu Zhizhao pouted and smiled: "Do you think Comrade Jin is from your place!" I just like you! People are sweet-mouthed! Reserved! Zhizhao looked at Shi Dagen and said: "You have been pestering people, she is embarrassed to reply directly, you are afraid of hurting the friendship between comrades, so she called you eldest brother." ”

When Shi Dagen heard this, the whole person was dumb and said, "Why do you want to reply to me?" I'm a bad guy again. ”

Liu Zhizhao said: "You are not a bad person, but Comrade Jin has a sweetheart." ”

"Who?" Shi Dagen exclaimed when he heard this.

"Huh! Why don't you want to fight with someone? Look at you! Liu Zhizhao said: "Where did you go where you usually go on the battlefield?" For the sake of a woman, it seems that she wants to fight hard with someone. Jin is a cultural person in a big city, and you can take a fancy to you, a big man who doesn't know a few words. ”

"I just can't figure it out. I'll ask her myself when Kim comes back. Shi Dagen stood up and left angrily.

Liu Zhizhao looked at Shi Dagen and shook his head with a smile and said to himself: "This big boss! ”

At the North Youth League Headquarters of Pinglu County, Shen Shaofan was holding a meeting with the officers of the Youth League headquarters to discuss next month's battle plan.

Zhang Wenshan said: "All the troops have been replenished, but nearly one-third of the personnel in the team are new recruits, and the combat effectiveness needs to be improved, especially the 1st Battalion and the battalion have drawn a large number of veterans from the two columns of pre-work and teaching, so that the ratio of new and old has been drawn in half. ”

"Hmmm! The old way, veterans take new recruits, one by one, and hand them over to the battlefield, and it's the same. Training alone is not enough, we must go to actual combat to exercise, and we have seen blood; Kill the red eye, then it is considered graduation. Isn't it? That's how we all come here! Shen Shaofan said with a smile.

Chen Chen said: "Our ammunition reserves are still relatively sufficient, and the last supply from the central government can still be used for a year and a half. ”

Shen Shaofan thought for a while and said, "The combat consumption is difficult to estimate. From now on, all the ammunition we have seized will be kept in stock for our own use. I guess there's going to be another big war soon. ”

Sun Zhiyu said: "The head of the regiment is very right. According to intelligence, four divisions in Xuzhou have arrived in Houma; In the Wenxi area, it is estimated that the Japanese army will carry out a large-scale summer offensive next month. The movement of enemy forces in Yuncheng is still being investigated in Jiezhou, and the commanders of the four divisions and regiments are also being investigated. ”

Shen Shaofan said: "Tell White Rose that the matter of the internal investigation she proposed last time must be carried out in secret and not affect the morale of the troops." ”

"There is nothing abnormal in the forward position, but our guard battalion in Pinglu is often verbally attacked by the Eighth Route Army of the Independent Regiment. We are 'reactionaries' and call us 'long defeated'. ”

Shen Shaofan pricked his mouth and said, "Tell you that it is the first anti-Japanese independent column of the Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiao Mountain." Why don't you have a brain! ”

"It doesn't matter if he's a 'regiment' or a 'team'! In short, it's too much! "Blocking the sky and letting go of the angry road.

"That's it! Didn't they just play a flat level on the eight roads! ”

"Frontal defense, we are on them, often knocking on the side. It's cheap and good. "There was a lot of talk.

Shen Shaofan waved his hand and said, "Okay! The two armies jointly resist Japan, so we will be patient. What's more, the superior commander of the Eighth Route Army is very good to us! Don't undermine the united front of the War of Resistance for one thing. ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied listlessly.

Shen Shaofan smiled and said, "Okay! Go back and educate the officers and soldiers below. They want to understand the big picture. ”

"Yes!" Another listless response.

As soon as Shen Shaofan heard their words, he was weak and hung out of the case and shouted: "Do you know? ”

Everyone immediately stood up and shouted, "Yes! ”

At this time, Lei Fei walked in and muttered a few words to the root of Shaofan's ear. Shaofan immediately showed a happy smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "That's where today's meeting is." Meeting! Then he scattered the flowers and ran towards the outside of the regimental headquarters.

Blocking the sky and put it aside and said suspiciously: "Hey! What did you do with the captain? Happy like a sparrow. ”

Lei Fei said with a smile: "Sister Jin is waiting for him outside the regiment headquarters." ”

Blocking Tianfang joked: "This son is really inhumane!" When he saw the woman, he put our brothers here. ”

Bai Long also quipped: "Yes! I don't know who it was yesterday who dumped her brothers as soon as she saw the Qian'er girl of the military command group who had no soul. ”

"Haha......" The room burst into laughter.

Blocking the sky and said urgently: "That doesn't count!" I'm looking for Qian'er to talk about work! ”

"What's the matter with me!" A beautiful and touching girl suddenly appeared at the door, wearing a military uniform and looking very innocent, she was Bing Qian'er.

When everyone saw Bing Qian'er, they were even more happy, Yiyi stood up and said, "We have nothing to do, and the deputy of the regiment has something to do with you." Everyone slipped out of the door of the conference room with their mouths covered.

Sun Zhiyu also secretly smiled and walked towards the gate.

Bing Qian'er asked very inexplicably: "Chief of Staff!" What are you laughing at? ”

"Nothing! Is your team leader in the office? Sun Zhiyu couldn't help but snicker.

"Yes!" Qian'er replied with a wink of wide eyes.

Sun Zhiyu said with a smile: "The deputy of the regiment is looking for you to have a job--work--something to discuss." You and the regiment deputy have a good heart-to-heart talk! He deliberately stretched out the word 'work' and ran away with a puff of smoke.

When Bing Qian'er heard this, she asked Block Tianfang: "What is the matter with Deputy Head Block looking for me?" ”

Blocking Tianfang smiled embarrassedly, rubbed his hands, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I want to ...... with you" Tianfang thought for a while and said, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Oh!" Qian'er suddenly realized: "No! I was about to go to the street to eat. ”

"I'll go with you!" Tianfang said with a flushed face.

Qian'er smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go! Then he grinned and walked towards the door.

Blocking Tianfang twitched his mouth to himself and said to himself: "Damn! A mouth is stupid. ”

A street leading to the east of the city, quiet night, with the thoughts of the past, Shaofan walked down the street with Wenwen's shoulder, they looked at the moon in the night sky, and recalled their most wonderful moment together.

"I really miss that street in Nanjing!" Shaofan sighed.

Wenwen glanced at him: "If we have the opportunity to go back to Nanjing, we must go back to that street." But can we still go back to Nanjing? ”

Shaofan hugged Wenwen tightly and said: "I promise you that I will take you back to Nanjing, even if it is to fight, I will knock Nanjing down." We walked down that street together, and I walked with you in my arms as I did today. ”

"We're going to St. Paul's Church too. I'm going to have our wedding there. Wenwen looked at Shaofan with a mischievous smile.

Shen Shaofan and Jin Xiwen are both devout Christians, and the cross necklace that often accompanies them is the best proof of this. The necklace is not only a token of the couple, but also a testimony of their shared faith.

Shen Shaofan stopped suddenly, gently put his hands on Wenwen's shoulders and said, "Wenwen! When we returned to Nanjing, it was time for us to hold our wedding, let me walk with you every day, and I went to church with you every Sunday. Wenwen, you will always be my wife, no matter what, we will not be separated. ”

"Shaofan!" Wenwen snuggled in Shaofan's arms and said, "I will only be your Shen Shaofan's wife, and I will always be your wife." I will wait for you to take me back to Nanjing for my wedding at St. Paul's Church. ”
