In Baoqing County, the remaining personnel of the Anti-Japanese Federation broke through the Japanese blockade and slowly assembled in the secret camp area of the Lanbang Mountain Guard, and in the past few days, the personnel who had fallen behind during the breakthrough and the personnel who had been separated returned one after another, and the Second Route Army had gathered nearly 200 troops at this time.

In the conference room of the secret camp, everyone was still deliberating whether they should continue to fight guerrilla warfare or retreat to the Soviet Union.

"Although the commander-in-chief has more than 3,000 people from the Fourth and Tenth Armies under the command of Deputy Meng, they are too far away from us at this time, and the water cannot relieve the thirst, we are now facing the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army on the one hand, on the other hand, the team has gone through many days of fierce fighting, and now there are few people and horses, most of the wounded, ammunition and food are short, and there are still a few months before the winter, it is difficult to get food with our current troops, and then we will all starve to death, I suggest that we should retreat to the Soviet Union now to rest." Chief of Staff Cui Shiyuan said.

After listening to the chief of staff's analysis, Commander-in-Chief Zhou nodded, and asked a few cadres at or above the division level next to him, "Do you have any different opinions?" ”

"Commander-in-Chief, we agree with the Chief of Staff."

"That"

"The commander-in-chief is not good, the commander-in-chief is not good." Hu Ren panted and pushed open the door and ran in.

"What's wrong with Hu Ren? Did the Japanese discover us? Cui Shiyuan got up anxiously and asked.

"Nope." Hu Ren shook his head.

"What's wrong with that?"

"By the way, Hu Ren, has Comrade Qingshan contacted us? I haven't been in touch for many days, I don't know how their situation is, have you met the Japanese army? ”

Seeing that everyone looked at him with a puzzled face, Hu Ren handed the newspaper in his hand to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, you see, the commander-in-chief took the newspaper and asked curiously: "Hu Ren, where did you get this newspaper?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, this is a little devil's plane."

"The little devil sent it, the little devil has this kindness." Everyone talked about it.

"It's possible that the little devil saw that we didn't have any entertainment here, so he sent us a special message to relieve our boredom." A division commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation said.

Commander Zhou lowered his head and looked carefully for a while, only to see that his originally ruddy face gradually turned white and finally turned black, trembling his hands and tears in his eyes raised his head to the roof and shouted: "Heaven will kill my Second Route Army, God will kill me to resist the United Nations!" After shouting, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted, originally from the beginning of 1939 to the present, the Second Route Army was beaten by the Japanese army and ran blindly, fleeing for his life in all directions, and there were many division commanders, regiment commanders and other anti-United Nations generals surrendered to the Japanese army, these did not defeat Zhou Baozhong, he has been looking for a way out for the Anti-Japanese Federation these days and painstakingly studied the map, almost every day only slept less than three hours, originally heard that Meng Qingshan organized a team of three or four thousand people to be overjoyed, but did not expect to be wiped out by the Japanese army near Lanxi in less than five days or so, Because of the fatigue of these days and the great joys and sorrows, the commander-in-chief's body suddenly fell ill.

"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, come to the doctor, go and call the doctor."

When everyone was in a hurry outside, the only remaining doctor of the Second Route Army, who was the wife of the commander-in-chief, saw her come out and hurriedly ran to her side and asked, "How is the commander-in-chief, sister-in-law?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a rush to vomit a mouthful of blood, just raise it for a few days."

Hearing that there was no big problem, everyone gradually relaxed their hearts, Cui Shiyuan picked up the newspaper that the commander-in-chief was still holding on to, and first looked at a large photo of Xie Wendong, the commander of the Eighth Army, on the left side of the newspaper, and he was followed by the remaining division commanders of the Eighth Army and the various cadres of the Second Route Army who had defected, this Eighth Army mutiny had already been known, and the commander-in-chief would not vomit blood for this trivial matter. Then Cui Shiyuan took a look at the content on the right and found that the newspaper on the right said that on June 20, 1939, at the junction of Lanxi County, more than 3,000 people were annihilated by the main force of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and our army was killed 10 people and 50 wounded.

"A general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops! I said that I shouldn't be the deputy commander-in-chief of the person named Meng Qingshan, and let our headquarters lead them, and the commander-in-chief trusts him, if I listen to how good it would be to stay in South Manchurian to fight guerrillas or go to make peace with the First Army, I have to come to some bullshit north, which will put all the family into it, and even hang up myself. Cui Shiyuan said scoldingly.

"Chief of Staff, what do you think we should do now?"

"Now let the troops pack their bags immediately, and we'll leave in a moment."

"Where are we going?"

"Retreat to the Soviet Union to rest, now the little devil's plane must have discovered us, otherwise we can't put the newspaper so accurately, and we won't be able to leave if we don't leave."

At the same time, Meng Qingshan, who thought that the Japanese army and the headquarters of the Second Route Army had been wiped out, was on the way to Bayan Banner by train at the moment, Meng Qingshan ran all the way to a big mountain in Anda County to hide and seize the time to train, this training was not combat effectiveness, or marksmanship, but Japanese, Meng Qingshan deliberately selected soldiers who could speak Japanese from the team for the plan in his heart, but he didn't expect that more than 30 people in his team of less than 900 people could speak Japanese, Meng Qingshan waited for Zhang Facai's news on the one hand, While training for 30 people, according to his own ideas and the things he had seen on TV before, anyway, all the things he thought would be used were handed over to these 30 people, and at the same time, he asked these 30 people to go back in the evening and ask the personnel of their respective teams to train them to prohibit them, and no one was allowed to speak without his order, so shut up and train first, and whoever spoke would be punished for standing in a military posture.

After Meng Qingshan met Zhang Facai's group, the statistics found that their four armies were reduced from 1,400 people at the time of departure to less than 1,000 people now, and more than 200 Jing'an troops revolted and joined the army on the way. As a result, when they were marching to Anda to take a train, they met the Anti-Japanese Federation led by Meng Qingshan, and Tian Qizhong saw that a piece of fat could not let them slip away under his nose, so he ordered the troops to pursue the Anti-Japanese Union, but as a result, stealing chickens and rice did not make a mistake, and put himself in.

After seeing this information, Meng Qingshan thought that I could pretend to be this Tian Qizhong's two little devils to arrive in the Daxinganling area, this plan is very good, but first of all, we must get rid of the Japanese army's pursuers, which has Zhang Facai's plan to fake his death, and then in order to prevent the leakage of the action, Meng Qingshan deliberately selected the soldiers who can speak Japanese from the team for unified training, in case of encountering the Japanese army, what to say after talking, I didn't expect to really take the Japanese army's train to Bayan Banner.
