Liu Fengchi was also surprised when he saw Ma Zheng for the first time, although he and Ma Zheng had not met, but as the military governor in charge of public security of the puppet government, he still knew about Ma Zheng's deeds, and of course he had seen Ma Zheng's photos, so he recognized Ma Zheng at a glance.

The officer in charge of guarding them just now said that someone wanted to see him, and Liu Fengchi thought that it must be a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army who wanted to talk to him, but he didn't expect it to be Ma Zheng.

You must know that Ma Zheng is the commander of the Suicha Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and he is also a lieutenant general and division commander recognized by the Nationalist Government, so it is indeed surprising that he can come to see him in person in his busy schedule.

The temporary headquarters was rudimentary, just a slightly larger marching tent and a few improvised brackets to work on when they were fighting, and there was not even a single chair after that, and three or four officers, including Ma Zheng, were standing.

Seeing that Liu Fengchi, who was tied up with five flowers, was escorted in, Ma Zheng immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "Let General Liu suffer!" ”

said that he personally untied Liu Fengchi, and then Ma Zheng said: "The conditions here are simple, please don't be surprised by General Liu!" ”

"General Ma is polite, the general of the defeated army, how dare he be such a courteous general!" Liu Fengchi said immediately.

"Others naturally can't deserve it, but General Liu can, the general is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, although he is in the puppet government, but with the identity and connections of the Japanese puppet, he has repeatedly covered and rescued our underground party members. We also used our own house to cover our party's anti-Japanese activities, and our own house also served as a base for our underground party's activities, and contributed to the nation's anti-Japanese struggle, so we were not hostile to each other. Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"I'm ashamed, I've been a soldier all my life, but in the end I did things for the Japanese devils, it's an insult to my ancestors!" Liu Fengchi sighed and said.

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "General Liu, resisting Japan is not an overnight thing, we need impassioned warriors, and we also need heroes like you who endure humiliation and burden, and now coming back is equivalent to going home." ”

Ma Zheng's meaning has been made very clear, he must want Liu Fengchi to go out of the mountain and take up a military post in the Suicha Military Region.

This was originally a good thing, but Liu Fengchi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but the look in his eyes dimmed for a moment.

Ma Zheng knew what he was worried about, and immediately said, "General Liu is worried about his wife and children? ”

Liu Fengchi nodded and said: "The Japanese have always been very uneasy about me, so they ask my family to stay in Beiping, if I go to your army to take up a military position, then they will be dangerous, with the virtue of the Japanese, they will inevitably kill a hundred people!" ”

Ma Zheng immediately said: "This general, please rest assured, I have contacted the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army last night, and asked the underground party in Beiping to immediately cooperate with relevant personnel to rescue the general's family, and there will be news soon." ”

"Thank you so much!" Liu Fengchi immediately said gratefully.

Then Ma Zheng said: "General Liu, I have communicated with the head of the headquarters yesterday, your position has been determined, and if you agree, you will be the commander of the 8th Independent Division of our Suicha Military Region." The soldiers were composed of the Luanping Independent Column of the Suicha Military Region of the former Eighth Route Army and the puppet army that was willing to do the right thing, and the division had two reinforced brigades, each with three regiments, totaling 21,000 people. ”

"Thank you General Ma for your trust, Fengchi has nothing to repay, and he will fight for the liberation of the country and the nation for life!" Liu Fengchi said in a deep voice.

"General Liu, what you have to do now is to do the work of those puppet soldiers, as long as there are no bloody officers and soldiers on their bodies, they can accept it, but if they have ever harmed the Chinese people, they will not do it. In the afternoon, I will ask the captain of the Luanping Independent Column Tie Xinlan to assist you in your work, and that Tie Xinlan girl will also be your partner in the future, and will be the political commissar of the 8th Independent Division, you two can match well! ”

"Girl? Woman? Liu Fengchi said in surprise.

"What, does General Liu look down on women?" Ma Zheng asked rhetorically.

"That's not true, as far as I know, the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army has a higher position in the army than the division commander, brigade commander and other military cadres, and it seems that all the officers above the regiment level of the Eighth Route Army have no women. I'm wondering where this Captain Tie Xinlan is sacred, and he was suddenly appointed as the political commissar of the division, which is the only one in the entire Eighth Route Army! Liu Fengchi immediately explained.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "It is indeed the first one, there are indeed not many female cadres in the regular troops of our Eighth Route Army, and even if there are, most of them are working in hospitals and clothing factories and other units, and there is no female regiment leader or female political commissar so far." But we can't underestimate a woman because of this, this woman can also hold up half the sky. ”

"Let's talk about our captain Tie Xinlan, she was originally the daughter of the big bandit of Chahar's right wing rear banner, and then her father was killed by the rear banner security group, so she took over the cottage and brothers left by her father, and then took these people to continue to deal with the security regiment of Chahar's right rear banner, and finally killed the head of the rear banner's security regiment. Later, after being incorporated by our army, he served as a small platoon commander, and last year I was sent here to carry out anti-Japanese work behind enemy lines, and when I came, I only brought more than 50 people, but now it has expanded to more than 12,000 people in just over 10 months, and my work ability is extremely strong, so I will ask her to assist you in your work. ”

"It's so powerful, Commander Ma's subordinates are all tiger generals!" Liu Fengchi said with emotion.

"Although Tie Xinlan is a good hand at fighting, she is still young after all, and it is inevitable that she will not be thoughtful in thinking about things, so Senior Commander Liu, you have to let her go a little. In addition, she is an impatient, and to be honest, she is not suitable for political work, but I really don't have the right person to serve as a political commissar for you now, so for the time being, it can only be the two of you, and we will make adjustments after the battle is over. Ma Zheng said.

"Commander, don't worry, I will cooperate with that Iron Captain." Liu Fengchi said.

"Well, it is mutual cooperation, our Eighth Route Army's division of labor among military and political cadres is clear, the military chief officer is in charge of the battle, the political commissar is in charge of life, and the military and government can be invincible only if the military and the government cooperate well."

"Okay! Cooperate with each other! ”

The Eighth Independent Division was established under such unprepared circumstances, although all aspects are not yet fully prepared, and it is impossible to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but Ma Zheng's purpose is not to let them go directly to the battlefield, in fact, now only Chengde, Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao are still in the hands of the Japanese in Rehe and the entire eastern Hebei region, and other towns are now basically beaten by the Eighth Route Army.

Now there is only the city of Chengde in front of Ma Zheng's department, as long as Chengde is taken, the strategic goal of this eastward expansion will be completed.

As for how to take Chengde City, Ma Zheng already has a little idea, so this time he came here to see if it could be done.

In the past two days, the troops have been attacking Chengde City non-stop, but the Japanese army is determined to hold on to help, so they fought very tenaciously, and they failed to take down the peripheral positions of Chengde in two days, but their own casualties were not small.

Hearing that Chen Xudong's troops had captured a large number of Japanese tanks this time, Ma Zheng decided to see what these tanks were like and whether they could be used as an assault force to attack Chengde.

In a dense jungle outside Ma Yingzi, Ma Zheng saw the batch of tanks captured by Chen Xudong's department, a total of 102 vehicles, including 76 Type 94 light combat vehicles, 12 Type 95 medium combat vehicles, and 14 armored vehicles.

Seeing these heavy equipment, Ma Zheng felt aggrieved for the Fourth Division, such a sophisticated equipment should not have been destroyed in such a sloppy bag, but he didn't expect that it would be defeated so quickly, so thoroughly, more than 20,000 people surrendered without even firing a shot, which is really pitiful.

However, thinking about the situation at that time, you can't blame the Fourth Division, in that case, it is useless to resist desperately, as long as the Eighth Route Army detonates all the explosives buried in the mountain, all the people of the Fourth Division will be buried alive, and it is not worth it at all. It was precisely because of this that Sawada Shigeru ordered the soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender without unnecessary resistance. (To be continued.) )
