Since Wang Minggui led the Seventh Regiment to ambush a squadron of the Japanese army, Meng Qingshan's troops marched slowly and leisurely, because they were all sparsely populated places, the Japanese army's pioneering regiments were concentrated in the north, and since the main force of the Second Route Army marched westward, only the lower reaches of the Songhua River in the entire Sanjiang region had sporadic anti-union teams hiding from the Japanese army.

"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, I'm here, I'm here."

"Wen Nian, don't shout, I saw you at first sight in the distance, you big man is a benchmark in our team, the entire Anti-Japanese Federation except for General Yang Jingyu's nearly 1.9 meters tall, that is, his nearly 1.91 meter tall is very conspicuous in the crowd." Meng Qingshan said with a smile.

"Commander-in-chief, you have been thinking about me for more than two months, I can't sleep what I think about you, since I heard the news that you are coming, I have been looking forward to it every day and night, and today I finally looked forward to you." Wang Wennian said while poking his hand.

After hearing this, the corners of Meng Qingshan's mouth twitched upward, and he said in surprise: "Wen Nian, why haven't you been a good man for the past two months, are you suffocated and want to find a daughter-in-law." ”

After speaking, he took a few steps back, Wang Wennian also saw that the commander-in-chief was excited, and when he reacted, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said embarrassedly: "Commander-in-chief, you have misunderstood, since I heard your order, you came to open up the base area, you don't know that fighting is not a big deal for me Wang Wennian, but you let me manage the base area, which made me have two big heads, and I would have been worried to death, if it wasn't for the help of Comrade Guangyu, the chief of staff, and Comrade Wen Jun, I would have gone crazy." ”

"Just this little thing will drive you crazy, I think you have to go to the military and political school to study hard."

"Commander-in-chief, don't need it! I'm almost thirty years old, and I can't learn anymore. ”

"You haven't heard of such a sentence, live to learn all the time, and when the base comes to my house every night, I will give you a lecture."

"Commander-in-chief, me."

"Comrade Wen Nian, I want to correct that from today onwards, your Tenth Army will be reorganized into the Second Detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, with Meng Qingshan as the commander and you as the deputy commander."

"General Political Commissar, what's going on, is the fortress leaking?"

"It's hard to say, let's go back to the base area first."

"Lao Cheng, you first lead people to bring the comrades to the base area, and I will lead the commander-in-chief to the headquarters."

Half an hour later, the troops followed the troops of the Tenth Army to the mountains east of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, looking at the quiet village in front of him, and then looking at the surrounding terrain, Meng Qingshan couldn't help but be stunned. "Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, what are you thinking?" Looking at Meng Qingshan in a daze, Li Yanping hurriedly reminded.

"Well, political commissar, I'm thinking about the terrain here in the Tenth Army."

"What's wrong with the terrain here?" The political commissar asked suspiciously.

Meng Qingshan smiled and said: "Political commissar, you see, the entire headquarters is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road to enter and exit.

"Commander-in-chief, don't praise me, when we first came, I still wanted to use the old guerrilla area of the former Anti-Japanese Federation as a base area, but in a blink of an eye, I thought of the surrender of Li Huatang, the commander of the Ninth Army, but he knew everything there, and building a base in that place was equivalent to building a base in vain, so I sent a few companies to the mountains and spent a long time to find this hidden position." Wang Wennian said with a smile.

"Have you drawn a map of this area in Wennian?"

"The commander-in-chief I drew it early in the morning, and when I first came here, I asked Zong Pengtao to take the entire reconnaissance company to spread out the reconnaissance within a hundred miles in all directions, and draw a sketch, all the rivers, mountains, caves, etc. along the way, as long as all the valuable things must be clearly marked."

"Let's go, commissar, let's go into the village!"

In less than half an hour, the entire army arrived at the specified camp, and Meng Qingshan and others, under the leadership of Wang Wennian, came to the headquarters that had been arranged. According to Wang Wennian's introduction, this village was built by them, and the village was all relatives of some soldiers, and when they rescued the common people of the pioneer regiment, they found that all of them were young people between 20 and 40, and there were only a few old people and children.

Looking at the gray-haired Sun Dechao village chief in front of him, Meng Qingshan nodded, quickly helped him to his seat, and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry for you, let you follow us to the mountains at such an old age." ”

Sun Dechao was not polite, sat down and said: "Comrade Chief is too angry, if you hadn't saved my old man's family and fellow villagers, we must have died a long time ago, and now there are less than 300 people in the entire village, don't you know that we are not a village or a tribe, as soon as the little devils came to drive us all out of the land we have cultivated for generations, we were displaced, and finally they forcibly moved into a group tribe that was not suitable for human habitation at all, and the entire tribe was about 500 people at that time, In less than a winter, more than 200 people froze to death and starved to death, and in the beginning of spring, another plague struck and more than 100 people died, and the whole tribe was left with some able-bodied young men and me, an old immortal, and my grandson was frozen to death that year. ”

"The little devil is also a wanton ** woman, almost all the daughters-in-law in our village have been insulted by the little devils, some of them hang themselves directly after they come back, and some of them are stimulated to become crazy after they come back."

"Later, the little devil forcibly moved into the people of the nearby villages from the vicinity and let them, after all these years of death, in the end, the whole tribe is still 3, 4000 people left, there are dozens of villages of people, if it weren't for Commander Wang to rescue us, maybe the old man I can survive this winter is a problem, now although hiding in the mountains, but this kind of life is more than the group tribe to catch up with the existence of heaven, even if I want to die old man, I have to die here, if it weren't for my age and can't afford to hold a gun, Old man, I said that I would join the army to fight devils, and now I can only help you manage and manage trivial things to support the revolution. ”

After listening to the words of Village Chief Sun, Meng Qingshan knew that the common people hated the scourge of Japan very much. "Uncle Sun, we are the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation led by the **, and we will definitely drive the devils out of our land."

"Really? I wish I could see the little devils out of our land in my lifetime. ”

"Really."

Meng Qingshan walked from the entrance of the village to the village and found that the people here were full of laughter, you must know that this was very difficult to see at that time, some soldiers helped the people clean the yard, and some helped the people build houses, carry water, cut wood, send noodles, send rice, etc., look at the villagers in this base area and the soldiers of the army, the soldiers and civilians of the army, Meng Qingshan nodded The construction of the base here is very good, but it is difficult to maintain such a phenomenon, the little devil knows that there are anti-union activities here and will gather troops to encircle and suppress here, The troops in the Anti-Japanese Union did not have the strength to start a war with the Japanese army, so they were forced to fight guerrilla warfare, and this place had to be transferred.
