Chapter 3: Bait

It is said that Xie Wendong of the 8th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army led more than 150 people under the rest of the first, second and fifth divisions to surrender to Japan, and the third and fourth divisions were completely annihilated when encircled and suppressed by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the sixth division was also the department of Meng Qingshan, because it was far away from them and because of the Japanese ambush when he came out of the mountain, he was scattered, and only one liaison ran desperately to report the news, and when he arrived at the military headquarters, he said that the sixth division was ambushed by the Japanese army and the whole army was annihilated, and he died after speaking, so Xie Wendong could only take the first, second, and fifth divisions to the enemy, and Xie Wendong defected to the enemy in order to curry favor with the Japanese armyHe wantonly betrayed to the Japanese army the underground party he knew was lurking in the northeast, causing serious damage to the underground party organization.

Soon after, Zhou Baozhong, commander-in-chief and political commissar, and Zhao Shangzhi, deputy commander-in-chief, also received an urgent letter from the Northeast Underground Party, which stated that the 8th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army had surrendered under the leadership of Commander Xie Wendong and Deputy Army Commander Teng Songbai.

At that time, the commander-in-chief Zhou Baozhong and the deputy commander-in-chief Zhao Shangzhi were angry, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Second Route Army after February and March 1939, the Japanese puppet army dispatched more than 6,000 people to encircle and suppress the Second Route Army Headquarters in the Diao Ling area in the lower reaches of the Mudanjiang River, and now there are only less than 600 people left, and the Eighth Army actually surrendered to the enemy at this most difficult time, so that the number of the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Union was reduced to less than 400 people, in order to better fight the Japanese army and preserve strength, the commander-in-chief Zhou Baozhong and the deputy commander-in-chief Zhao Shangzhi each have different opinions.

Commander-in-chief Zhou Baozhong believed that in order to preserve part of the essence and backbone of the Anti-Japanese Federation, he was ready to enter the Soviet Union for training, and after recuperation, he would sneak back to the northeast to continue to resist Japan, while deputy commander-in-chief Zhao Shangzhi had already had an experience in the Soviet Union and categorically refused to go to the Soviet Union to recuperate

Besides, Meng Qingshan, with more than 20 anti-United Nations fighters, turned east from the secret camp, rushed lightly, ran all the way, and ran more than 100 miles in one day! When they found someone, Meng Qingshan and the others hurriedly dodged, and when they raised their heads and looked carefully down the mountain, they saw a small group of puppet troops, which seemed to have a squad of about 10 people, and they were carrying food.

Now Meng Qingshan has 9 bullets in all of the people, except for the Wang Ba box in his hand, the rest of the people have an average of about two or three bullets, and there are only less than five grenades, and they have been out of food since the morning, and when they see that the puppet army patrol team of only about 10 people is still carrying food, their subordinates are eager to try and prepare to do a big job.

Meng Qingshan hurriedly stopped his eager subordinates, and a group of people looked at Meng Qingshan suspiciously, although Meng Qingshan had never gone to military school or read military books, but he had watched war movies and war novels for many years, and as the saying goes, "I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig run", because Meng Qingshan felt that it was impossible for a puppet army of only ten people to appear in this kind of unpopulated place, and it was very likely that this small force was a bait sent by the Japanese army to tempt the anti-union hidden in the mountains with little food and clothing.

"Commander, don't hesitate to fight! We can destroy the following puppet army in minutes, and we can also let the brothers replenish their ammunition, and see that they are carrying food, which can also fill our stomachs. Li Youde, the leader of the platoon, said.

Meng Qingshan saw that there were less than 30 people under his command, these people were all treasures, and Meng Qingshan couldn't bear to sacrifice one, and he was not 100% sure, he would rather not fight than give the Japanese army a head.

Meng Qingshan remembered that when he asked the rest of the people yesterday if they were officials, the crowd didn't move, and after he figured it out, he found that his subordinates were actually officers, either battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon commanders, etc., how could I rely on all officers, only Xiaohuzi was his guard, what about the other soldiers? No wonder the heads of the Anti-Japanese Federation are so valuable, and it is no wonder that the Anti-United Nations always loses, they are all officials and soldiers.

Just like not long ago in July 1938, the main force of the 2nd Route Army began to march westward, rushing to Wuchang and Shulan, although the Second Route Army is composed of three or four armies, but the number is only about 2,000, including both old and young, some still hold red tassel guns, machetes, sickles, etc., and the Japanese army is composed of the 4th Division, the 10th Division and the 8th Division, a total of more than 25,000 people, with 20,000 puppet troops, Meng Qingshan also really admires the courage of the ancestors, It was impossible to rely on a mere 1,000 people to break the blockade of 40,000 or 50,000 Japanese puppet troops.

Meng Qingshan was pleased that although there were less than 30 people under his command, there were fifteen guns with an average of two people, which already made Meng Qingshan secretly happy, but there were not many bullets, only less than 30 rounds. In order to survive better, to prevent the Japanese army's attention from paying attention to him, and to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, Meng Qingshan organized his current subordinates into three squads, the platoon commander Li Youde, and the squad leader was a few veterans of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

Such troops even if they were attacked by the Japanese

It was found that the Japanese army would also think that the strength of a mere anti-coalition platoon would not send a large army to encircle and suppress it. "Don't worry, wait." Meng Qingshan lay in the ravine and whispered.

"Division commander, if you wait for the flowers, you will be grateful, and if we don't beat us again, we will run out of food."

"What's the hurry, Lao Tzu is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry, am I the division commander or are you the division commander." Meng Qingshan scolded Li Youde fiercely, Meng Qingshan has slowly become familiar with his subordinates in the past two days, he does not scold and disobey, some of his subordinates are farmers, some are bandits, some are beggars, anyway, they are all composed of seven or eight tricks, and he is a party member, and he feels a little tired when he mentions party members, because his original introduction to the party is none other than the current traitor Xie Wendong, if this is known in the future, what should I do?

"Division commander, are you really not fighting?" Zhang Facai, the leader of the first squad, asked in a low voice.

"Hit you on the head, save some energy and take a good rest, when you want to fight, I'll call you." Meng Qingshan replied angrily, and at the same time thought in his heart that he would have time to practice you well, so that you would know what discipline was, thinking of the way they cried when they were trained by themselves, the corners of Meng Qingshan's mouth slanted upwards and smiled.

Looking at Meng Qingshan's weird smile, these people all felt a cool breeze blowing goosebumps on their bodies, and hurriedly and honestly lay down in the ravine and waited for orders.

"Commander, look at it." An anti-United Nations fighter said loudly. Following the voice of the soldiers, it was really as Meng Qingshan thought, after the puppet army stayed in the middle of the tenth, a small team of Japanese soldiers and hundreds of puppet soldiers slowly appeared from behind, Meng Qingshan touched the cold sweat on his head, fortunately if he didn't fight, he would not have been able to be dumplings by the Japanese army, and all of them were wiped out.

After seeing the large Japanese army, Li Youde scolded: "The little devil is really fucking insidious, and he actually sent a small group of puppet troops to tempt us." ”

"It's still the division commander who is powerful, and I can see the little devil's plan at once." Zhang Facai, the leader of the first squad, said.

"That is, I have long said that our master has known for 500 years and 500 years." Zhao Fugui, the second squad leader, said.

"The division commander said that I will fight that, I am not like you, I don't know anything about Chongchong, if I listen to you, we will be finished a long time ago." Qian Zhuang, the third squad leader, looked at the two of them with resting eyes and said.

"Look at you, I don't know who just saw that there was only a puppet army, and they were going to rush forward, if it wasn't for the two of us dragging you, you would have flown away, and you were embarrassed to say us." Zhang Facai said.

"I have, I'm just exploring the way for the division commander." Qian Zhuang said with a blushing face and quibbling.

"Okay, don't talk about it, we're safe now, look at their marching route is to our old camp, it seems that our old camp has leaked, fortunately I left early, if it's any later, we will be dumplings, we will rest here for a while, wait a while we will set off to the east." Meng Qingshan exhaled and said.
