After four or five days of transfer, the headquarters of the second detachment all arrived in the Khormozhin fortress to start work, the logistics department took over the fortress's arsenal, the hospital selected some smart and clever young people from the crowd to train simple treatment methods, and the latest graduates of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University were all assigned to the army for training, and the soldiers took over the work of Meng Qingshan and others, and Meng Qingshan and others discussed things in the conference room, and in order to further adapt to the situation of the anti-Japanese struggle, they were planning to adjust the structure of the troops. Intending to form a more rational unit in terms of command structure and troop coordination, Meng Qingshan decided to implement the military division plan in Guannai to better suit the current situation.

"Commander, there's an unknown force outside the Commander's Mountain." Xu Hu, the commander of the guard battalion, ran in and said.

"Who are the tigers, are they little devils?"

"No, they are holding the five-star red flag as if it were our own troops."

Hearing the five-star red flag, Meng Qingshan's eyes lit up, this army must be a team of Wang Yachen's troops, not long ago Wang Yachen sent a telegram to himself to find a batch of meat, Meng Qingshan hurriedly led everyone out to meet the past, saw a middle-aged man riding a tall horse with a beard on his face, Meng Qingshan looked familiar from a distance, and waited for someone to slowly get closer to see if this is not Zhang Facai? It's only been less than half a year, how did it become mature, and there was masculinity, looking at the horse team behind Zhang Facai Meng Qingshan smiled, it seems that Facai is really making a fortune this time, from more than 1,000 people at the beginning to more than 2,000 cavalry now, which makes Meng Qingshan very envious, your sister, Lao Tzu is now a horse captured in tens of thousands of troops. It's less than 100 horses, and you kid has made so many horses and two people come to me to show off. I'm going to have to keep all the horses behind so I can form a cavalry unit too. Meng Qingshan looked at the horses, his eyes shining with golden light.

"Lao Yang, Lao Yang, do you think this group of cavalry can catch up with our original cavalry team?"

"Lao Zhao, how many people are in our cavalry division, you look at the more than 2,000 cavalry troops in this cavalry unit, and then you look at their horses are Mongolian horses in the middle, dozens of times stronger than our original cavalry division, I think only one team can get so many horses."

"Lao Yang, Lao Yang, are you familiar with them? In a moment, you go and talk to them about dividing some of our horses, and my troops are in need of horses to form a cavalry team!" Zhao Shangzhi said happily. Looking at this group of horses, on the one hand, I was happy that the Anti-Japanese Federation had such a strong team, and on the other hand, I felt like how could I get some horses for a while.

The team on horseback walked fifty meters away from Meng Qingshan, and the leader turned over and dismounted and ran towards Meng Qingshan, hugged Meng Qingshan fiercely and shouted: "Divisional commander, I miss you to death, you don't know that I miss you every night these days." ”

After hearing Zhang Facai's words, the people around Meng Qingshan all looked at the two of them with strange eyes, and at the same time stayed away from them.

Meng Qingshan's face turned purple and scolded: "Zhang Facai, you little rabbit cub, do you want to strangle me." Don't let go yet. ”

After Zhang Facai saw Meng Qingshan's appearance, he hurriedly opened his hand, lowered his head and whispered: "Commander, I forgot about my happiness, I'm sorry!" ”

Meng Qingshan rolled his eyes and said, "Then I'll slash you." I'll say sorry to you again, no. ”

"Okay, Lao Meng, isn't Comrade Facai happy to see you? And it wasn't intentional. Besides, it's not easy for us to get together, let's fast-forward to the fortress to catch up. Don't stand outside. Li Yanping said with a smile.

"Yes! Yes drip! The division commander made a fortune, but this time it brought you a lot of things. Zhang Facai hurriedly said.

"What did you bring?"

"I didn't bring anything more, but I brought 1,500 horses. 2000 sheep, hundreds of cows, thousands of skins, let the brothers, oh no! Comrades, make up for your body and make some fur coats to warm your body. ”

"That's just like the words, okay, hurry into the fortress and see how our fortress is." Meng Qingshan said with a smile.

"Lao Yang, you see that this is Comrade Qingshan's old subordinate, who actually brought 1,500 horses and sheep, and then we will discuss with Comrade Qingshan and let him divide a few horses with us?"

"Lao Zhao, I found out how you are outdated now, you actually want everything, I despise you."

"Old Yang, don't you want it?"

"I still need to ask for it, I'll go and discuss with Comrade Qingshan about forming a cavalry regiment later, and I will personally lead the team, after all, I have cavalry experience."

"You're treacherous!"

"Divisional commander, divisional commander, look who I brought here." After speaking, he dragged Meng Qingshan and walked towards the team.

Seeing that a tall middle-aged man in the middle of the cavalry who looked very old due to the continuous deterioration of the situation walked towards Meng Qingshan, Meng Qingshan took a closer look and found that it was Commander-in-Chief Zhou, and stepped forward in a few steps and respectfully saluted and said, "Good commander-in-chief." ”

Meng Qingshan looked at the commander-in-chief at the same time, the commander-in-chief was also looking at Meng Qingshan, and then in the past two months at this time, Meng Qingshan has been famous in the three northeastern provinces, and the entire three northeastern provinces know that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation came out of a man named Meng Qingshan, leading the Anti-Japanese Federation to fight the five constants, and then marching north for thousands of miles to capture the military fortress of the little devils, and then going south to sweep the southern part of Tangyuan to ambush the Japanese army, and eliminate the tens of thousands of troops of the little devils. When he saw Meng Qingshan saluting him, Commander-in-Chief Zhou said with a hint of shame: "Commander Meng is good." ”

Meng Qingshan knew the commander-in-chief's thoughts and hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, I don't blame you, don't you think our Anti-Japanese Federation is growing again?" Although the battle of Qiqihar was lost, it was thanks to the headquarters troops that we were able to develop. ”

"Comrade Qingshan, you don't need to comfort me, I understand that I am to blame for the tragic death of thousands of anti-United Nations fighters in Qiqihar, if I had been strong at the beginning, I would not have allowed that Soviet instructor to seize military power, resulting in the current situation."

Meng Qingshan immediately changed the topic and said to Zhou Baozhong: "Commander-in-chief, let's see who is coming." ”

Zhou Baozhong raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Meng Qingshan and found two acquaintances, sweeping away the decadence just now, Zhao Shangzhi and Yang Jingyu, who rushed over after hearing the news, were extremely excited when they saw their old brothers. After shouting out the three words Lao Zhou, he burst into tears with excitement, and he couldn't say anything anymore, the three of them hugged and cried bitterly, the three of them hadn't gathered for a long time over the years, and they finally met today.

Looking at the excited Zhao Shangzhi and Yang Jingyu, Meng Qingshan smiled and said: "Comrade Shangzhi and Comrade Jingyu, you have been separated from the commander-in-chief for a long time and want to reminisce about the old feelings, which I can understand. But we can't just talk in the midst of this windy earth. Besides, the commander-in-chief and the other soldiers have walked all the way and haven't eaten yet, so they can't be hungry! I see if there is anything to say, do you want to go back to the headquarters and say it? You'll have to let the commander roast the fire to ward off the cold. ”

After that, Meng Qingshan personally led the way in front, led the commander-in-chief to his headquarters, arranged for Xiaohuzi to lead Zhang Facai's cavalry into the fortress to rest, and at the same time asked Li Daniu to inform the gang to cook a big meal, and sighed for a long time before Yang Jingyu and others, who had barely calmed down, accompanied the commander-in-chief to sit down.

Seeing that Meng Qingshan was still very modest, but the commander-in-chief, who had already learned some information from the newspaper, did not dare to despise it at all, and at the beginning he did not trust Meng Qingshan, a young man who had just come out, but now after several battles and development of Meng Qingshan, Zhou Baozhong has agreed with Meng Qingshan's leadership position. After being silent for a while, the commander-in-chief spoke first: "Comrade Qingshan, Comrade Yachen has already talked to me about your situation. I've read all the telegrams you've sent me these days. And my situation, I think you know it too. ”

"Commander-in-chief, I think the most important thing we should do now is how to study the situation we are facing, how to break the devil's conspiracy, and let our troops survive. As for the rest, don't think too much, I haven't complained about you, and we must now work together to defend against the enemy. ”

"The commander-in-chief, you must have understood the intentions of the people sent by the Soviets after the battle in Qiqihar, the Soviets saw that we pretended to be big, so they sent an instructor to take over the troops in the name of training, causing unnecessary losses, and now I think we should insist that the anti-union forces are independently led by the Communist Party of China. Then, Meng Qingshan took out two mimeographed pamphlets of Chairman Mao's "On Protracted War" and "On New Democracy" that Li Yanping had obtained through various connections during negotiations with the Soviet Union and handed them to Commander-in-Chief Zhou.

After receiving the two books, Commander-in-Chief Zhou was immediately happy and tearful after finding that it was actually a book written by Chairman Mao, and looked carefully page by page, Meng Qingshan looked at the commander-in-chief and looked so engrossed, he was embarrassed to disturb the big cow to put the food on the table, turned around and walked out, and said to the guard in front of the door If the food is cold, give the commander-in-chief a heat.

When Meng Qingshan first obtained the book, he sent people to copy and enlarge the portrait of Chairman Mao in the book, print it into a large portrait, and distribute it to every company, and listed "On New Democracy" and "On Protracted War" as compulsory textbooks for military academies and military political study.
