Meng Qingshan learned that Zhao Shangzhi was coming, and with the help of Xiaohuzi, he washed up early in the morning, and with the support of Xiaohuzi, he slowly walked out of the room and the cadres above the regiment level at the headquarters came to the gate of the base to greet Zhao Shangzhi, the great hero of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Resistance.

Ten minutes later, seeing a group of horseback riders hurrying over, Meng Qingshan saw at a glance that Zhao Shangzhi, who was beside Li Youde, was more than two inches taller than Meng Qingshan, with weather-covered wrinkles covering his 31-year-old real age, bright eyes under thick eyebrows, a straight nose, thick lips, and a full beard.

Meng Qingshan stepped forward, and Zhao Shangzhi, who came over from the lower horse, took the lead in saluting and said: "Commander Zhao, commander of the second detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, Meng Qingshan led the cadres above the regimental level of the headquarters of the second detachment to welcome your arrival. ”

Seeing Meng Qingshan's attitude so humble, he was very moved, and Li Youde, who returned with him along the way, said that Meng Qingshan's character, experience, and achievements let him understand. Hurriedly raised his hand and saluted, "Report to Commander Meng, the commander of the Third Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army reports to you and asks to return." ”

Meng Qingshan took two steps tightly, grabbed Zhao Shangzhi's broad, rough and powerful hand, and shook it vigorously a few times: "General Zhao, welcome you back to the team, the Anti-Japanese Federation needs you, you have worked hard this year." ”

Looking at this three armies, which had galloped across North Manchuria for several years and single-handedly created the three armies with the largest strength and the strongest combat effectiveness among the several armies directly under the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Japanese puppet army was frightened. Now because he was imprisoned in Jiangbei for a long time, and after returning to China, he was ignored, and he looked extremely haggard as an anti-Japanese hero.

Thinking of his sacrifice that he knew about in later generations, Meng Qingshan was extremely emotional. No matter how strong the Japanese army was, no matter how dangerous the situation was, this anti-Japanese hero who had never lowered his head was made like this by the complicated line struggle within the party, and he himself was also sympathetic to him, and he could not make such a mistake in the future, and he would send someone to contact the party Central Committee after the coal mine was transferred to the base area this time.

"Commander Zhao, how about you take a rest here with me first, and when this battle is over, I will send someone to escort you to the headquarters?"

"Along the way, I passed by Comrade Youde and told me about you, even Comrade Qingshan, you have been treated like this, not to mention me, I am afraid I will not be able to go back to the headquarters, if you can, I hope you can help me arrange a job in the second detachment, as long as it is to fight devils, it is okay to let me be a squad leader."

After listening to his words, Meng Qingshan was silent for a while and said: "Commander Zhao, regarding the restoration of your party membership, I may not be able to help you with this, after all, my own party membership is between one or two sentences of their group of people. ”

"However, if you come to work in the second detachment, I will definitely welcome you with both hands. We are preparing to set up a base area in the Fengshan and Tonghe areas, if you don't dislike it, how about you being the commander of this base area? Although the troops under the jurisdiction of this base area are somewhat smaller, there is only a garrison regiment of 1,000 men. How you want to develop depends on your own efforts, but I feel that it suits you very well. ”

Although this position is somewhat low and excessively compared with Zhao Shangzhi's previous position as the commander of the three armies of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army. But Meng Qingshan thinks that there is still a blank job, which is very suitable for a pioneering, courageous, and self-made cadre like him. The previous Zhang Funing had laid a good foundation and left a battalion of troops to be stationed in the base area, Meng Qingshan felt that Zhao Shangzhi could replace Zhang Funing, after all, Zhao Shangzhi had rich experience behind enemy lines, and he would definitely be better than Zhang Funing, a new recruit. Of course, Meng Qingshan did not ask the headquarters about this decision, because the headquarters actually issued a request to expel Meng Qingshan from the party the day after Meng Qingshan vomited blood.

**The Executive Committee of the Special Branch Bureau of the Northeast Party Organization (hereinafter referred to as the "Northeast Party Committee") held the third standing committee and made a resolution to expel Meng Qingshan from the party. In this "Decision on the Permanent Expulsion of Meng Qingshan from the Party", it was pointed out that the reason for Meng Qingshan's permanent expulsion from the party was that he made three serious mistakes: first, Meng Qingshan opposed the ** Central Line and opposed the strategic decision of the headquarters at the party meeting in 1939; Second, the practice of the left-leaning closed-door line does not obey the command of the headquarters; Third, it is suspected that Meng Qingshan is a pest that the puppet Manchu government has penetrated into the Anti-Japanese Federation.

But seeing this letter, Meng Qingshan hung a mouthful of old blood spurted out, at that time, Meng Qingshan decided that you don't care what you like to do in the future, and you will know that I am right when you lose the battle, the current Meng Qingshan is very similar to Tian Feng during the Three Kingdoms period at that time, the headquarters is like Yuan Shao did not listen to Tian Feng's words and came back to kill Tian Feng for the sake of face after being defeated, the only difference is that Tian Feng is the commander of the light pole, and Meng Qingshan has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, who wants to move him has to think about it, When he saw this letter, Meng Qingshan seemed to have made up his mind to send people to Guannai to find the Party Central Committee, skipping the Northeast Party Committee and Province, they always had nothing to do and always found trouble for themselves, so he specially sent Leng Youfeng, the head of the new regiment, to go south as a Japanese expatriate to visit relatives in North China.

In fact, Meng Qingshan wanted to send Wang Lianshan south to find the Party Central Committee, but because Wang Lianshan was too far away from him and because he couldn't speak Japanese, it was difficult to break through the blockade of the Japanese army and arrive at Guannai, and because not long ago, the guard regiment of the second detachment eliminated an unknown team, and finally found that this group of people were spies sent by the Japanese army. Annihilation in one fell swoop.

In the group of people eliminated, they found a face very similar to Leng Youfeng, the commander of the new regiment, at that time, some soldiers thought that Leng Youfeng was killed by mistake and hurriedly told Shen Qingshan, who commanded the battle, Shen Qingshan hurriedly ran over and found that it was really very similar to Leng Youfeng, and at the same time turned out a good citizen certificate in his pocket, which said Ohben Wushilang, Shen Qingshan thought that this person was very similar to Leng Youfeng, and Leng Youfeng was a spy sent by the Japanese army, and immediately went back to report to Meng Qingshan, Meng Qingshan laughed when he learned that he originally planned to wait for the coal mine to be sent south, but he didn't expect such a good opportunity to be sent to his eyes, as long as Leng Youfeng went south as this person, the probability of success was greatly improved, you must know that Meng Qingshan deliberately selected dozens of party backbones from the army in order to contact the Party Central Committee, trained them to speak Japanese and some special words, and was ready to send them to disperse collectively to the south, and if they didn't succeed, they would become benevolent, and finally Meng Qingshan decided that Leng Youfeng went south alone without any weapons, and only brought a few hundred oceans for travel expenses, In order to prevent the Japanese army from being recruited, Meng Qingshan deliberately asked him to wear a thong of the Japanese army.
