He took a moment, found Tan Suyun, and asked her, "What is the little white face surnamed Zhao doing here?" Slowing down? Do you want me to carry him on his back? Let him go back! ”

Tan Suyun looked at him and said: "We don't know the identity of the envoy sent by the Comintern, maybe he is a foreigner, and there are difficulties in language communication, Zhao Yunfeng knows some foreign languages, maybe he can help, so we have to take him!" ”

Li Yongan pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter what nationality he is, let's just take him away, send him safely to the place, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Tan Suyun was angry and said: "Do you think the special envoy is only here to go to Yan'an to meet with the central leaders?" His more important mission was to understand the situation and shape of the War of Resistance in China, so as to reflect the situation to the Comintern! How can we understand without verbal communication? If you want Zhao Yunfeng to go back, then you can brief the envoy on the situation! ”

Not to mention foreigners, even if a Chinese can speak fluent Chinese, Li Yongan may not be able to explain the situation and shape of the War of Resistance clearly, because he does not understand it at all! After listening to Tan Suyun's words, Li Yongan stopped squeaking, but his face was still very unhappy.

Tan Suyun knew in his heart that once there was any accident in this mission, he would have to rely on Li Yongan to contribute, and he couldn't let him have affection, so he finally comforted him and said: "I am only a comrade with Zhao Yunfeng, and there will never be anything else!" Then he walked away, ignoring him.

Li Yongan felt a lot more comfortable when he heard this, he knew that the eldest lady was a person who spoke his word, he did what he said, never said one thing, did another, and valued credibility more than men!

After the group was ready, they left the base and began to go on the road to pick up the envoy. The pick-up site is located in enemy-occupied territory, and it is necessary to travel a long distance, although they are all traveling in the remote wilderness, but there is still a great risk of going back and forth. Extreme caution is required.

After three days of rapid marching, the group came to the designated place to pick up people, a field, and the road was smooth when they came. Didn't run into much trouble. The friendly and neighboring troops who escorted the envoy also arrived at the agreed place on time and handed over to the head of the regiment. The envoy is an Oriental, not a Westerner like Tan Suyun had feared before, and he speaks fluent Chinese, so he is an authentic Chinese at all! This saves a lot of trouble. The two sides were able to communicate smoothly.

After the handover was complete, the group separated from the friendly and neighboring forces and escorted the envoy to begin their return.

On the way, Head Qu, Tan Suyun and others chatted with the envoy. Commander Qu asked the envoy about the situation on the road, and the envoy introduced to him the situation of the other base areas he passed along the way, which was very detailed. Captain Qu and the others all introduced themselves, but they did not ask the name of the envoy, which was also according to the confidentiality regulations explained by the superiors. The identity of the Special Envoy is to be kept strictly confidential, and no one else is to inquire about any personal circumstances concerning him unless he wishes to do so.

After the envoy introduced the situation of other base areas, he immediately asked the head of the Qu regiment about the situation in their base areas, Tan Suyun and Zhao Yunfeng introduced to him, the special envoy listened very carefully, and after listening to it, he also put forward some of his own ideas and suggestions to the head of the Qu group, which was very constructive, and Tan Suyun and the others were very impressed when they heard it. Tan Suyun smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the special envoy sent by the Comintern would be a Chinese. And I am so familiar with the construction of our base area! ”

The envoy smiled and said: "I have also traveled more places and learned more, and the construction I mentioned to you is actually the successful experience of some other base areas, not my idea." I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! ”

The day's itinerary was very smooth and there was no trouble. But the next day, there was an accident. When the group passed through a small village, they happened to encounter devils sweeping up. The local guerrillas carried out several attacks on the Japanese army, inflicting losses on the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was so angry that they retaliated and swept the nearby villages. Burning, killing, and plundering along the way.

When the head of the regiment saw the Japanese army slaughtering the village, killing the defenseless old people and children, and raping women, he couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation and blood in his veins. But because of the important task of escorting the envoy, the group hesitated and didn't know whether to intervene or not.

Then the envoy suddenly said: "It is your duty to protect me, but it is also your duty to protect these ordinary people!" After a pause, he said, "If you don't save them now, then they will die because of me, and I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life!" ”

When the head of the Qu regiment heard the envoy say this, they decided to beat him up! There are so many devils that it is impossible to eliminate or run away from them, so we can only lure them away and give the people a chance to escape. Tan Suyun came to Li Yongan's side and said to him: "If you encounter any trouble when you retreat for a while, you just need to protect the envoy and send him back to the base area safely, and you don't have to worry about the rest!" ”

Li Yongan nodded in agreement on the surface, but thought in his heart: "I just have to bring you back safely, I don't care if that envoy is dead or alive!" ”

The group left Tan Suyun and Zhao Yunfeng to protect the envoy, and another demoman went to the retreat route to lay mines in advance, and the rest of the people all sneaked up quietly, and when they came closer, they suddenly launched an attack on the devil, and put down a dozen or so people at once, and then turned around and ran. The devil immediately chased after him. After the head of the group Qu and Li Yongan broke off in the back, Li Yongan walked in the rear, and the two guns were not missing, so that the devils did not dare to get too close.

After retreating some distance, the Demoman was seen standing in the middle of the road, and the group walked past him to avoid the mines. Li Yongan and the Demoman were fighting and retreating, and the Japanese were thrown off after stepping on a few mines.

After running forward for a while, the group survived, and Captain Qu and the others took out the military uniforms of the devils prepared in advance from their backpacks and distributed them to everyone, and everyone changed into them. This trick of "golden cicada shelling" is very easy to use, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly, especially when entering the enemy-occupied area to fish in troubled waters, so the head of the Qu regiment made preparations in advance.

After the group changed their clothes, they lined up and marched on the road in a big way. Along the way, he encountered several sweeping troops of devils, and they all succeeded in getting through. But when they passed by the last devil troops, the leader of the devil's team suddenly stopped them and asked them a few words loudly in Japanese! (To be continued.) )
