"Where did you go back then, why did you suddenly disappear?" Li Zhaolin asked.

"When the chief broke through with the large army, he was accidentally knocked out by the little devil's shell, and when he woke up, he was caught by the little devil." Zhang Nan lowered his head and said.

"Don't be discouraged, old man, it's all over, didn't you run back again?"

Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "I didn't escape but was rescued, since I was arrested half a year ago, I was escorted by the Japanese army to the Murgen area as a laborer, working day and night, originally my one hundred and fifty pounds of body, less than two months to lose weight to one hundred and ten pounds, I want to go back to see my comrades in arms soon, but when I was about to die, the Japanese suddenly changed guards, and the next day of the change of guards, they gathered us all in the playground, I was thinking about whether the Japanese army saw that we were all thin into skeletons, If there is no use value, they will trap and kill us. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"But what I never expected was that this group of Japanese soldiers who changed their guards was not a little devil but a team of our Anti-Japanese Federation, which made me regain my desire to survive, full of fighting spirit, and I could fight the little devil again, instead of dying in a mass grave."

"Who are they?" Choi Ok-so asked.

Lee Zhaolin glared at Cui Yuzhu, and Cui Yuzhu pursed his lips.

"They said that he was the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army led by China, I was very happy to hear it, I stood up and said that I was the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and then I led the old comrades who were arrested with me to form a company, after a month of training, Commander-in-Chief Meng sent me to lead a small detachment to do anti-Japanese work behind the enemy, and because I was the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I was sent to look for the Third Route Army."

"So you are the bandit boss in the mouth of Comrade Choi Ok-so!" Feng Zhongyun asked jokingly.

"Why! Didn't I find you and find a place to be a base first? ”

"Is there anything they want us to do?"

"Chief, Commander-in-Chief Meng said that his team was formed on the basis of the old Eighth Army's Sixth Division, Fourth Army, and Tenth Army, and now the situation of the troops is that most of us have new soldiers, and I hope that the Third Route Army can go to fight against Japan with them." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he looked up at Li Zhaolin.

"What do you think, Lao Feng?"

"Commander-in-chief, why don't you wait for Commander-in-Chief Zhou's telegram to come, how about it?"

"I think that's it for now, it's getting late, you should rest in the secret camp first, you want me to discuss this matter with the political commissar, and how about giving you an answer after another meeting tomorrow?"

"Yes, old chief." After speaking, he walked out of the house under the guidance of Wang Minggui.

"Lao Zhang, see if we are good brothers and good comrades-in-arms." Wang Minggui asked with a smile.

"Lao Wang, do you have anything to do? As long as I can help, I will definitely help you. ”

"Lao Zhang, you see that we are all anti-Japanese alliances, you all have guns, and some of the brothers' troops also have cold weapons, can you give me a few guns, such as your light machine gun or give me a small steel cannon." Wang Minggui said with a smile.

"Lao Wang, don't worry about my belongings, when you go to meet Commander Meng, you have what you want."

"Really, what do you want?"

"Of course, Commander-in-Chief Meng occupied a Japanese warehouse, and the warehouse was full of munitions and materials, such as Type 92 70mm mountain guns, heavy machine guns, Czech, Type 94 75mm mountain guns, and Type 38 rifles, as long as you go, you can change equipment."

"Lao Feng, do you think what Zhang Nan said is true?"

"Lao Li, why don't you still believe your old subordinates?"

"It's not that I'm worried, he has been out of the team for more than half a year, during which I don't know what he did, what he did, I can't trust him with his words, although he is my old subordinate, but I can't be emotional, after all, now the little devils are too rampant, there are spies everywhere who are unguardable, and our anti-union is always a traitor, it is the eighth army he said, the eighth army was dispersed, and the commander of the eighth army and several main division commanders surrendered to the enemy one after another. I have heard Commander-in-Chief Zhou talk about the situation of the Eighth Army. Most of the divisions of the Eighth Army were adapted from the mountain and forest teams, and the political work cadres, including the army commander, were seriously rejected, and the superiors all surrendered. ”

"Lao Li, are you worried that Zhang Nan is a bait sent by the Japanese army to lure us out of the mountain?"

Li Zhaolin nodded and said: "The only thing that can prove him now is the telegram of Commander-in-Chief Zhou, otherwise I can kill him by mistake, and I can't let the Third Route Army destroy it in my hands and let the revolutionary flame be extinguished." ”

In a military camp on the border of the Soviet Union, Zhou Baozhong went to the playground with the support of his wife, watching the training of the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation sweating on the training ground, watching the training of the soldiers, Commander-in-Chief Zhou thought in his heart that even if there was only one person left in the Anti-Japanese Federation, it would be necessary to drive the Japanese army out of the northeast, as long as I Zhou Baozhong still had a breath, I could not let the little devils live in peace on our land, and now the Third Route Army has gained a foothold in Longjiang, and after a period of time the troops have recovered, they will lead the team to continue to return to China to fight guerrillas.

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief." A figure in the distance ran over panting and shouted.

Commander-in-Chief Zhou raised his head and saw that it was Hu Ren, director of the Political Department of the Second Route Army, and asked with a frown: "Hu Ren, what is it that has made you like this, is it that the Soviet side still does not plan to release Comrade Zhao Shangzhi and cadres at all levels, and will not help us restore contact with the Party Central Committee." ”

"The commander-in-chief is not, it's a telegram from the Third Route Army."

"What does the telegram say?"

"Commander-in-chief, this is also a great joy at first sight, do you want to gather everyone to command!"

"What great joy can make you so happy? Send me the telegram quickly. ”

After Zhou Baozhong finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and snatched the newspaper in Hu Ren's hand, and read it carefully, when he saw the Third Route Army asking whether the Second Route Army had any troops operating in the territory of Dedu, Zhou Baozhong's mind was Meng Qingshan's three big characters, and he got up and came to the radio room with Hu Ren.

"Xiao Lu, you immediately send a telegram to the Third Route Army, and you ask them for the name of the commander of the troops operating in Dedu."

"Old Zhou, it's time for you to take medicine." Commander-in-Chief Zhou's wife said.

"We'll talk about that later."

After more than 20 minutes, Lu Zhonghua put down the pen and handed the paper to Hu Ren next to him, Hu Ren saw the situation written on the paper, smiled and laughed tears flowed out, and said loudly: "Commander-in-chief, it is really Deputy Commander-in-Chief Meng, they are not dead, they have not been wiped out by the Japanese army and have grown a lot, but they have lost contact with us." ”

After Commander-in-Chief Zhou heard Meng Qingshan's three words, he got up and took the telegram and read it carefully word by word, and finally said with trembling hands: "Go and call the political commissar and them back, we are ready to return to China." ”

"Xiao Lu, you immediately send a telegram to the Third Route Army saying that the Second Route Army's Meng Qingshan Division is true, and I hope that Comrade Zhaolin can lead the Third Route Army and Meng Qingshan's Department to reconcile, and our department will also arrive there in a few days to fight with them."
