Hug the calf, Huanglong Cave.

In the evening, the Lunan guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army finally returned to its base area.

Although the ambush battle can be said to have achieved brilliant results, although it paid a considerable number of casualties, a team of more than 2,500 people, and in the end only less than 1,800 people could come back alive, but the seizures were quite rich, including 4 of the 92 type, 16 crooked handles, 16 grenadiers, and nearly 300 38 large covers, which was definitely a bumper harvest for the Eighth Route Army!

Wu Faxian, who got the news, hurriedly greeted him from the headquarters and stepped forward to shake hands with Peng Mingzhi.

Peng Mingzhi turned around and bypassed Wu Faxian, and then directly entered the headquarters, Wu Faxian withdrew his hands in a daze, and asked Cao Xiuwen and the others behind him in confusion: "Which tendon is wrong?" ”

Cao Xiuwen replied: "Political commissar, we let the Yanzi Army rob it." ”

"The Goose Army?" Wu Faxian frowned and said, "What's going on?" ”

Cao Xiuwen told the Black Wind Mouth ambush battle as it was, and Tang Shaoyi finally added: "Political Commissar, I think this Black Wind Mouth ambush battle was a great help from the Yanzi Army, the situation at that time, if it wasn't for the sudden killing of the Yanzi Army, our casualties would definitely be much greater, so it is appropriate to share some of their spoils, this is not a robbery, right?" ”

"That's robbery." Cao Xiuwen frowned and said unhappily, "Shaoyi, how can you help the bandits speak?" ”

"What happened to the bandits?" Tang Shaoyi was also a little unhappy and said, "As long as they fight devils, they are friendly troops." ”

"Alright, you guys don't fight." Wu Faxian waved his hand to stop the two from continuing to argue, and then said, "Xiao Tang, what you just said...... The master of the Yan Zijun is your college classmate? ”

"That's right." Speaking of the master of the Yanzi Army, Tang Shaoyi's eyes immediately lit up, and he said diligently, "His name is Gao Jingwu, and I and Xiuwen are all college classmates, more than half a month ago, we left Beiping at the same time, but I went to Shanxi with Xiuwen, but Jingwu went to Xuzhou, I don't know how to become the master of the Yanzi Army." ”

"Great!" Wu Faxian clapped his fist and said, "There is a door to this matter!" ”

"Commissar, what's the door?" Tang Shaoyi said curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”

Wu Faxian waved his hand and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Xiao Tang, from today onwards, you will work in the enemy's Ministry of Works, and be responsible for the work of the master of the Yanzi Army. ”

"Incorporate the Wild Goose Army?" Tang Shaoyi was puzzled, "Political commissar, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task." ”

"Believe in yourself." Wu Faxian patted Tang Shaoyi's shoulder and said, "You will definitely be able to do it!" ”

…………

Deep in the Taihang Mountains, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Mr. Peng, Chief of Staff Zuo, and the commander of the 129th Division, Liu, were discussing the situation in Shandong.

Speaking of which, Mr. Zhu is actually only the nominal commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and although Mr. Peng is nominally the deputy commander-in-chief, he can exercise the authority of the commander-in-chief!

Of course, in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army seldom organized large-scale campaigns, so its divisions and regiments were more often fighting on their own, and the command effectiveness that the headquarters organs could exert was actually quite limited.

The battle plan for the Heifengkou ambush battle was reported to the headquarters yesterday, and Mr. Peng also approved it.

At this meeting, General Peng, Chief of Staff Zuo, and Division Commander Liu discussed the Black Wind Mouth ambush battle.

Chief of Staff Zuo said: "If this Heifengkou ambush battle can be successfully won, then the entire situation in Lunan will be completely opened, and if we can still reach a tacit understanding with the Kuomintang Baoshan Brigade, then the pressure on our Lunan detachment will undoubtedly be much smaller, and the space for survival and development will be much greater!" ”

"Hey......" Mr. Peng suddenly said, "You say, is it possible to win over the Baoshan Brigade?" ”

"This ...... I'm afraid not, right? The chief of staff of the left said with a solemn expression, "Yue Weihan, the brigade commander of the Baoshan Brigade, is a student of the Huangpu military officer and a fellow villager of Jiang, I am afraid that he will not join the revolution, and the Baoshan Brigade is nominally a brigade, but in fact it is the establishment of a division, and if it is really to be won over, it will endanger the united front of the whole country to resist the Japanese." ”

"No, forget it." Mr. Peng waved his hand and said, "As long as he can take care of the overall situation." ”

While he was talking, the communications platoon commander walked in with a telegram and said, "Report, Lunan urgent telegram!" ”

"The Black Wind Mouth ambush battle has come to an end!" Mr. Peng took the telegram excitedly, and Chief of Staff Zuo also hurried over.

After reading the message in a hurry, Mr. Peng suddenly took the case and said happily: "Okay, great!" In the first battle, half of the field motorized infantry brigade of the Yue army was completely annihilated, and more than 500 elite people of the Yue army were killed, which was an unprecedented victory! The fly in the ointment is that the casualties are a little bigger, but the price is completely worth it, since it is a war, how can it not be killed? ”

Chief of Staff Zuo also said: "Boss, hurry up and report to Yan'an?" ”

Since the Eighth Route Army rushed to the battlefield behind the enemy, it really hasn't fought any big battles, although Pingxingguan has annihilated a lot of the army, but it is only the baggage troops of the army, although the number of enemies destroyed by the great victory of Heifengkou is not as much as that of Pingxingguan, but this time it is the field troops of the army that are being annihilated, and it is also the most elite motorized infantry brigade in the field troops!

"Report the victory, hurry up and report the victory." Peng Zongxing hurriedly said, "Power on again and commend you!" ”

…………

Wuhan Xingying, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.

When Chairman Chiang was tuning the radio and inadvertently tuning the frequency of the Xinhua News Agency, he suddenly heard [***] propagating some kind of victory at the Black Wind, and after listening carefully, he learned that the Lunan guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army had won a small-scale victory with the cooperation of the Baoshan Brigade and annihilated half of the motorized infantry brigade of the Chinese Army.

After listening to the Xinhua News Agency's broadcast, Chairman Jiang's face suddenly sank.

Chairman Chiang's worst fears finally happened, and the Baoshan Brigade was still messing with the Eighth Route Army!

At that moment, Chairman Jiang called Dai Li, director of the General Administration Bureau, to summon him to the study and asked, "Yunong, what news has been sent back from the people you planted in the Baoshan Brigade?" ”

Dai Li said uneasily: "There is no special news. ”

"So what's going on with the good news that [***] Xinhua News Agency just released?" Chairman Jiang said coldly, "Why did the Baoshan Brigade cooperate with the Lunan guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army? ”

"Honor, this should be just a simple military operation." Dai Li smiled bitterly, "After all, Brigade Commander Yue is still the director of the Lunan Agency, and the Eighth Route Army is also subordinate to the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army, and Brigade Commander Yue has the right to mobilize the Eighth Route Army to fight. ”

Chairman Jiang was relieved at this time, and he recalled that Yue Weihan was indeed also the director of the Lunan Agency, and according to the administrative structure of the national political axe, Yue Weihan now did have the right to mobilize any Chinese troops in the jurisdiction, but what puzzled Chairman Jiang was that [***] had already been high-profile propaganda, why did there be no news from the Lunan Agency?

At that moment, Chairman Chiang personally called the General Staff Headquarters and found out that there was indeed such a battle.

However, both General He and Deputy General Officer Bai believed that the results of this battle were far from being comparable to the brilliant achievements of the Baoshan Brigade before, so they did not specifically report to Chairman Chiang, but only issued a commendation order to the Lunan Administration and the Baoshan Brigade in the name of the General Staff.

…………

When it was almost dawn, Yue Weihan's subordinates returned to Weishan Island unconsciously.

When the veterans of the bayonet battalion met the veterans of the cavalry battalion and the artillery battalion, they naturally had some affection.

As for the more than 600 "puppet [***]" who had not been in the bayonet battalion for a short time and the more than 1,000 prisoners who had been screened from the Zaozhuang Puppet Seventh Regiment, they remained in several villages by the lake, and the identities of these surrendered troops were complicated, and it was very likely that the eyes and ears of the Yue army were mixed in, so they must not be allowed to know about the existence of the Weishan Island base area without going through strict screening.

In the command headquarters, Liu Yixing hurriedly said to Yue Weihan: "Brigade seat, last night the Eighth Route Army sent a telegram, they also won the victory in the Heifengkou ambush, killing more than 500 enemies, and won a lot, however, the Yanzi Army is said to have also participated in the Heifengkou ambush and helped the Eighth Route Army at a critical moment. ”

"The Goose Army?" Yue Weihan frowned and said, "Fight with the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"I don't know exactly what to do." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "The Eighth Route Army didn't elaborate. ”

"Could it be that ......," Yue Weihan muttered, "the Yanzi Army has already voted for the Eighth Route?" ”

"Quite possibly." Liu Yi nodded and said, "Otherwise, how could the Yanzi Army participate in the Black Wind Pass ambush?" ”

"Not necessarily." Yue Weihan said disapprerovingly, "The appearance of the Yanzi Army at the Black Wind Outlet is probably just a coincidence. ”

Liu Yi shook his head and changed the topic: "Brigade seat, this time we have conquered Zaozhuang County in one fell swoop, it is estimated that it will give a great deterrent to the pseudo-Han Dynasty in the Lunan region, and the squires who were originally in the middle are likely to turn to support us. ”

"It is necessary to rebuild the political apparatus at all levels." Yue Weihan nodded and said, "But it can't be made public." ”

"Brigade, I have a not-so-mature idea." Liu Yi said, "Can this be the case, for those who have done a lot of evil and are unruly, we must resolutely eliminate the pseudo-Han annihilation, and those squires who are not deeply involved in evil and are willing to support us, we might as well let them continue to act openly in the name of the pseudo-security chief, township head, and even county magistrate?" ”

"Hmm." Yue Weihan nodded happily and said, "That's a good idea, so let's do it." ”

It is necessary to secretly rebuild the political axe institution, otherwise where will the Baoshan Brigade collect food and raise salaries?

However, Lunan is a occupied area after all, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the army, if the political axe agencies at all levels are allowed to work openly, I am afraid that before they can begin to exercise their functions, the gendarmerie and plainclothes teams of the little devils have already hit the door, so they can only let the political axe organs at all levels hang two signs, light and dark, during the day it is called a pseudo-political axe, and at night it is a national political axe.
