The first thing Meng Qingshan said when he entered the city was to ask Shen Qingshan, who was commanding people to clean up the battlefield, "Where is Yu Baohe, has the radio been set up?" "The communication company, which had been following the headquarters to act together, did not know where to go when Meng Qingshan went to the front to direct the battle, which made Meng Qingshan very angry.

"Commander-in-Chief, I have just sent a company of troops to protect the original provincial government office building, and Director Yu said that the building is high and the signal is good, so it is convenient for setting up a radio station.

Meng Qingshan was grim and ordered Shen Qingshan to immediately inform Yu Baohe to move the radio to the headquarters of the Japanese army.

When Baohe rushed to the Japanese headquarters with Lu Xinghua with a tired face, the main leaders of each regiment had basically gathered, and they were all in the conference room of the Japanese headquarters. Lu Xinghua also muttered in a low voice that the provincial government building is relatively high, and the radio signal is good.

Meng Qingshan glanced at Yu Baohe, and then said to Lu Xinghua: "Changbai Mountain is high, why don't you put the antenna on it?" ”

After listening to Meng Qingshan's words, Lu Xinghua's face was red and blue, and he stood there not knowing what to do. And Yu Baohe was silent on the side, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't seem to hear Meng Qingshan speak.

Meng Qingshan felt that the words were too heavy, so he eased his tone and said: "I know that the Qiqihar Provincial Government Office Building is higher than here, and the signal is good, but have you ever thought that once the news of our capture of Qiqihar is known to the devils, then the first thing they will do is to send planes to bomb it, and then your communications office will not be left alone, and secondly, your communications office is the clairvoyant and downwind ear of the headquarters. What happens if there is something urgent? Do you understand what I mean? ”

Lu Xinghua nodded ashamedly.

Meng Qingshan said: "Go ahead, quickly set up the radio station." We need to get in touch with the commissar right away and ask them about their current situation. ”

After Lu Xinghua left. Yu Baohe stood up and solemnly saluted Meng Qingshan: "Report to the commander-in-chief, it's all my responsibility, it's not all Xinghua's fault, it's also my inconsiderate consideration, please criticize the commander-in-chief!" ”

Meng Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

Seeing that except for the Second Guard Regiment and the First Regiment of the Rapid Reaction Brigade and the Cavalry Regiment deployed outside in the city, the members of the Party Committee of the other regiments had arrived, Meng Qingshan said: "Let's have a brief party committee. Let me say two things. 1. Qiqihar is a big city. We're probably going to be here for a few days. This is the temptation of the big city, where everything will come to our cadres and soldiers. In this case, it is likely that some warriors on the battlefield could not resist the temptation and became prisoners of drunken money. Therefore, the Political Department should immediately take action to educate cadres and fighters, and ask them to be iron fighters who resist corruption and never touch the ground. It will not change color and degenerate, and once someone makes a mistake, it must be dealt with strictly, and we must not corrupt the discipline of our Anti-Japanese Federation. ”

Seeing that everyone was thinking deeply, Meng Qingshan said: "The second point I want to talk about. It's the current military situation. We will certainly not be able to hide the city of Qiqihar for long, once the Japanese army knows that our army bypassed the crusading force and occupied Qiqihar. What will happen next to the Japanese raiding forces on the front line and the Japanese units around us. It's hard to judge right now. But no matter what he does, he can't surpass the two. One is to immediately mobilize the front-line troops back and fight a decisive battle with our army on the Nenjiang Plain. The second is that the Japanese army mobilized troops from Hung Yen Province and Harbin to fight a decisive battle with our troops. Regardless of the movements of the Japanese army, the first thing we need to do is to seize the time to rest and prepare for the unexpected. The second is to collect the supplies we need in the city, and make sure that they are done before we move. ”

Liu Yalou said: "What the commander-in-chief said is right, I am thinking about what to do now, our troops are too tired and urgently need to rest. Now whether to continue to pretend that the Japanese army is resting, or to wave the banner of our anti-Japanese alliance, please ask the commander-in-chief to decide. ”

"Even if we disguise ourselves, we can't pretend for a few days, tomorrow morning, we will wave our red flag, draw a few regiments out of the city to enter the city, and change into clean military uniforms, and we need to get a haircut and shave quickly. To show the people of Qiqihar City the iron will and invincible spirit of our Anti-Japanese Federation. The chief of staff took the lead in organizing this matter. The Political Department will take a break tonight to prepare for your old profession, you must know that this is Qiqihar, the former provincial capital of Heilongjiang, and Qiqihar University, where there are many senior intellectuals and skilled workers. During our time in Qiqihar, you should win them to participate in the Anti-Japanese Resistance League to resist Japan and save the country. Those who study ordnance, mechanics, chemistry, geography, geology, mining, biology, Japanese, English, German, in short, we all have a skill, and we are not afraid to come. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Watching everyone get up and walk out of the conference room, only the commander of the guard brigade, Shen Qingshan, sat on the chair with his head and didn't move, "What's wrong with Qingshan, is he injured, or is it?" ”

Shen Qingshan shook his head.

"That's?"

"Commander-in-Chief, I'm sorry." Shen Qingshan held back for a long time and said.

"What's wrong?"

"Just a regiment commander reported, saying that an hour ago the strength of the Japanese army one and a half brigades, a total of no more than 1,300 people, broke through from the south gate, because the Japanese army had cars to open the road, and a regiment was unprepared by the devil's car team rushed out, a regiment of soldiers only stopped the devil's infantry, and after I led people to arrive, I knew that it was the Japanese 10th Division Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Shanshanyuan, all blame me, I sent troops over earlier to block Shanshanyuan's old boy." Shen Qingshan squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and said.

Hearing Shen Qingshan's words, Meng Qingshan walked over and helped Shen Qingshan up and said: "Qingshan is fine, the purpose of our battle this time is Qiqihar, not the lieutenant general Shanshanyuan, as long as we develop and grow, there will be devil lieutenant generals and generals who will let you arrest in the future, but you are complaining like this, and you may not have your share in the future." ”

"But Commander-in-Chief, it's a pity that Shanshan Yuan slipped away right under our noses."

"Aoyama! Didn't you find out that Commander Hou Guozhong wasn't there? ”

Shen Qingshan thought about it carefully and said, "I really didn't see him, what did the commander-in-chief Hou do?" ”

"Commander Hou is waiting for him on the road that Shanshan Yuan must pass through at this time, but I'm worried that the little devil will fight to the death, by the way, I found that the Japanese army has dozens of troop carriers on the way to the city just now, Qingshan, then you lead the second regiment to drive a car to pick up the head of the regiment, maybe after you pass, you can catch up."

"Okay, I'll go, thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Shen Qingshan immediately got up and ran out, and after a while, he heard the assembly order outside, and standing by the window, Meng Qingshan saw that the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade got on the troop carrier in an orderly manner and set off towards the south gate.
