Chapter 173: The Second Division Fights for Merit

-- Taihang Mountain

Li Long was the commander of the newly established 3rd Independent Regiment of the 368th Brigade of the newly established 129th Division; he had just returned from a meeting and immediately announced that the entire Third Independent Regiment would be assembled, and all the soldiers would pack up and march to northern Hebei as the vanguard of the 129th Division after the Shanxi New Army troops came to take over the defense.

Li Long skillfully punched the package, and a gray figure came in and said, "Commander, what's the matter?" Why did it suddenly announce that the troops were going to be transferred, this is too fast. "It was Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion who was originally stationed eight miles away.

Li Long pulled the hemp rope hard, bared his teeth and said, "This is the order of the division commander, Lao Tzu told you to pack and pack, and when the official order comes down, we will be the first to set off, I will tell you, this march and war is a wolf eating meat, fast and slow, Lao Tzu is one step ahead now, and when the time comes, you can develop first." ”

Saying that, Li Long threw the package aside and said, "You kid, think about it, our Third Independent Regiment is the first team of our Eighth Route Army to enter Hebei, and the first team to open up the situation in Hebei, how long should this be?" ”

Shen Quan said with a hippie smile when he heard this, "Then will there be a medal at that time, regiment commander, why don't we let the second battalion go forward." There are more than 1,000 people in our second battalion, but we also have more than 600 guns. ”

Li Long threw the package on S's body and scolded: "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, do you want this rabbit cub?" Get ready for me immediately, Lao Tzu told you, this time the 115th Division is also going to Hebei, but we are southern Hebei, they are northern Hebei, if we become the first of the 129th Division, but lose to the 115th Division, then you will wait to be criticized. ”

Shen Quan hurriedly stood up and said, "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, we will definitely be the first to enter Hebei." ”

On the other side, on the way back to the headquarters of the 115th Division, Lin Sanhu suddenly said, "Come here, record the order." ”

The communications soldier next to him immediately took out his notebook to take notes.

Lin Sanhu continued, "Order, Seventh Column. The Eighth Column immediately entered southern Hebei, and whoever became the first unit to fire the first shot in Hebei would be given 100 guns and 1,500 rounds of ammunition. ”

This is a real reward, and Zhou Kun next to him hurriedly said, "Commander, why is this?" ”

Lin Sanhu whipped the stone and said, "Our 115th Division has been the first army since the time of the Red Army. Now it has become the Eighth Route Army, and it will also become the first division, and we must fight for the first place in everything, order, everyone will solve it immediately, hurry up and rush back to the troops, we must open up the situation in northern Hebei before the 129th Division!! ”

Zhou Kun looked at Lin Sanhu, who was hurrying up, and followed helplessly, Zhou Kun ate the cold nest head. His heart was full of resentment, and he felt that Lin Sanhu was asking too much. After running wildly for a day, he arrived at the division headquarters of the 115th Division, Zhou Kun returned to his place where he lived, threw his hat on the marching bed fiercely, and just wanted to lie down, a guard knocked on the door and said, "Chief of Staff, the division commander asked us to prepare our luggage and pack it, and we will leave at noon tomorrow." ”

Zhou Kun frowned. Exclaimed, "I see." "The resentment in my heart is even stronger.

"Why is there so much anger?" Lin Sanhu pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhou Kun hurriedly stood up and said, "Divisional commander, me." Am I not afraid that through the door, the warriors will not be able to hear? ”

Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "The telegram I just got that Wuhan wants to reward our 115th Division, this Shanxi battle has been so long, and now I will reward it, hum." The Central Committee said that in order to show our anti-Japanese united front, let us send a leader, and I think you should make a hard trip. ”

Zhou Kun saluted and said, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

-- Liugang Village

Hu Tian and the soldiers were training to fight, and the periphery of the barn was full of big daughters-in-law and little girls watching the excitement. From time to time, there are children learning to be there Hehehai, Hu Tian holds a bamboo whip, and adjusts the movements of the fighters from time to time, although it is still early spring, but the soldiers have been sweating profusely, and their heads are steaming.

An old man walked into the village with a soldier and said, "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, Captain Hu is in front, you go quickly, I will go to the sentry post again." ”

The soldier sighed, tied his horse to the entrance of the village, and hurriedly walked inside, and saw that the square was full of people, so he hurriedly squeezed in and shouted, "Captain Hu, Captain Hu, there is an order, auntie, please let me go." ”

Hu Tian waved his hand when he heard it and said, "Stop!" ”

The warriors put down the wooden guns in their hands and took the opportunity to exhale a few breaths.

The soldier saluted Hu Tian and said, "This is the order of the column. ”

Hu Tian first looked at the envelope, there was no trace of opening, then opened, and saw a special sticker pasted on the letter, the sticker can see different lights from different angles, extremely magical, if future generations see it, at a glance know that this is a laser laser anti-counterfeiting label, Hu Tian nodded, tore off the sticker and tore it in half, handed it to the soldier half, and the soldier hurriedly hid it as a baby.

Hu Tian took the letter and said, "Communication soldier, decrypt it immediately." ”

In less than ten minutes, the communications soldier came back and said, "Captain, give it." ”

Hu Tian took a look, but it was an order for his troops to immediately pack up and go north to northern Hebei, Hu Tian took a breath, his troops were indeed one of the closest troops to Hebei, but he was a guerrilla, why did he have to move?

Hu Tian asked, "What's going on?" Why are we getting out of here? ”

"What? Captain Hu, you can't go. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and an eldest lady hurriedly shouted, and as she spoke, she grabbed the soldier and said, "You go, you go, our Captain Hu is not leaving, the guerrillas are leaving, what should we do?" ”

"It's just that you can't go." The others also shouted, and the eyes of several masters turned red, and they all wanted to come up and grab the soldier.

"Everyone, stop!! Calm down, everybody. Hu Tian hurriedly shouted, and everyone slowly stopped.

"Captain Hu, you can't go, if you go, the devil will come again, and the villagers will suffer." The lady said with tears in her eyes, "And the three eggs have never even left the county, and now they are going to Hebei, this time"

"Mother~~~" The soldier named Sandan's face was flushed with urgency, and he walked to Hu Tian's side and saluted and said, "Captain, don't listen to my mother, I am willing to obey the organization's orders to go to any battlefield." ”

Hu Tian hurriedly said, "Don't worry, everyone, has the column commander said anything?" ”

The soldier swallowed his saliva and said, "This is the order of the division commander, we and the eighth column will set off for northern Hebei." Our base areas and guerrilla areas will be taken over by the Third Column and the Shanxi New Army. It will arrive in about three days, but the column commander ordered that everyone should pack up and set off as soon as they receive the order, and they must arrive in Hebei as soon as possible. ”

Hu Tian nodded, stood on the platform in the square and said, "Folks, the superiors have come to order." Our brigade is about to be transferred to Hebei to fight devils, I know, the villagers are reluctant, but think about it, we will always nest here, this small mountain village, this Shanxi Province, can the devils be driven out of China by us? Everyone should be happy that we are going to Hebei today. We can go to the Northeast tomorrow, and we can beat the devils out the day after tomorrow, and only when we really drive the devils out of China can we welcome real peace, right? ”

"Captain Hu is right, don't make trouble." An old voice came, and everyone looked at it, but it was Liu Lu, the largest landlord in Liugang Village.

"Why is Master Liu here?" When the interest rate is reduced due to rent reduction. This Liu Lu is very cooperative with the work, and Hu Tian has no prejudice.

Liu Lu leaned on crutches and said, "My Master Liu is eighty and two this year. When I was sensible, I was still Xianfengye, and I had seen too many troops in my life, including the Qing Army, the Beiyang Army, Chairman Yan and the Northeast Army, and I had also seen Chairman Chiang and the soldiers of the foreigners. But I've never seen a team like your Eighth Route Army, which is why you asked me to reduce rent and interest, and I didn't even blink an eye.

Ahem, folks, this world is not good. This world is very good, we have encountered the most ferocious Oriental soldiers, but we also met the best Eighth Route Army. Captain Hu wants to go out to fight devils, we should support them, three damn it, don't have long hair and short knowledge, this can only grow your ability when you go out to see it, and after a few years, the little devils will run away, and your three eggs will come back as a company commander, and you will know that I am right. ”

When Sandan heard that he was a company commander, he didn't know where to put his excited hand, and Sandan was embarrassed to let go of the soldier's hand.

Liu Lu arched his hand and said, "Captain Hu, there are fourteen young men in our village who joined the army, most of them grew up under my watch, I don't dare to hope that they can all come back well, I just hope that Captain Hu can take them to kill more devils, and when we worship our ancestors in the future, we can also have something to say." ”

Hu Tian solemnly saluted and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I, Hu Tian, promise to bring them back, back to our Liujiagang, back to our home." ”

Hu Tian forced the order to give the soldiers a day off, so that all the soldiers went home to say goodbye, and the next evening, Hu Tian's brigade set off in a queue amid the reluctance of the villagers. Hu Tian looked at everyone's eyes and said, "Comrades, do you remember the song I taught you?" Sing it all. Smoke billowing singing heroes, up!! ”

All the warriors puffed up their chests and sang loudly"

The beacon smoke is billowing and singing heroes, and the green mountains on all sides listen and listen

The blue sky thundered and beat the golden drum, and the sea made waves in harmony

The people's fighters drove away tigers and leopards, and sacrificed their lives to protect peace

Why is the battle flag so picturesque, and the blood of heroes stains her red

Why is the earth always in spring, and the life of heroes blooms flowers?

The hero jumped out of the trench, and a flash of lightning cracked the sky, cracked the sky

The ground sank into the single block, and the sky fell with one hand

His feet were blazing in the flames, and his whole body was covered with rainbows

Why is the battle flag so picturesque, and the blood of heroes stains her red

Why is the earth always in spring, and the life of heroes blooming flowers"

The singing gradually faded away, and the tears of the three eggs slowly remained, looking at the gradually disappearing figure, and silently muttered in her heart, "Take care!" Take care! ”

-- Yan'an

Jiang Cheng accompanied Yang Zhicheng to finish counting things, and when he turned around, he saw Chairman Mao looking at the list from behind.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said, "Chairman, why are you here?" ”

Chairman Mao snorted, "You little ghost, I said I wanted to clean you up, and you ran so fast, but I will forgive you when I see what you bring, talk while walking." ”

On the way, Chairman Mao asked, "How many more things do you have to ship?" ”

Jiang Cheng wrenched his fingers and said, "There is still half of the munitions, then aviation fuel and aircraft, and then all kinds of consumables, I see that the reported documents still need a large number of radio stations, which I also have to collect, and then there is Europe, I am ready to buy some more weapons and ammunition, and Hitler is about to carry out more vigorous anti-Semitism, among these people there are a large number of scientists, workers, and scholars, I want to think of a way to operate, let these people come to our Yan'an." ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "I know the Jews, this nation seems to have been ostracized, and we in Yan'an lack everything, especially talents in this area, but we don't want bankers." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, these Jews are actually excluded also has a history, since the 2nd century BC in Syria, the Seleucid king Antiochus IV issued an order, declaring Judaism "illegal", began a large-scale anti-Jewish movement, these Jews are extremely smart, good at learning and doing business, and are very united, in some ways and our Chinese nation is a little similar, these people have money but no protection of armed forces, and have always been exploited and humiliated by various dynasties. ”

Chairman Mao sighed and said: "This reminds me of the Nanyang Chinese in the materials you showed me, Nanyang has always been the base camp of the White Party, Xiao Jiang, if you have the opportunity, can you let the Chinese in Nanyang also come to our Yan'an to have a look." ”

Xiao Jiang replied, "I have already mentioned the matter of Nanyang to Mr. Situ Meitang of the United States, but because of the propaganda of Britain and France, the prejudice against our Red Party is very strong, and we still have to find an opportunity, by the way, the chairman said this, I have something to report, this is my own opinion, I sent someone to contact Chiang Ching-kuo, he seems to have feelings for our Red Party." Although he suffered a lot of grievances in the Soviet Union, the Red Party's method of governing and its spirit of taking root at the grassroots level infected him, and I felt that he could fight for it. ”

Chairman Mao immediately understood, in fact, Jiang Cheng's matter, Jin Shan had already secretly reported it, but Chairman Mao did not make it clear, but said, "Jiang Jingguo's performance in the Soviet Union has always been very good, if it weren't for that immortal, he wouldn't be like this, well, you did the right thing, I think you can give it a try, isn't Pingjin in history peacefully liberated, I think there is still a chance, do it boldly, I will support you." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded reassuringly, expressed understanding, and continued: "There is another matter, there may be many people in my caravan who have moved to Yan'an. It's also troublesome to organize and arrange it. ”

Chairman Mao said teasingly, "It's that Miss Yu family, I've read the information, this is indeed a good Chinese son and daughter who doesn't let her eyebrows go, she doesn't confess in the face of Japanese torture, it's just a pity, is she still in a coma?" ”

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and nodded.

Chairman Mao dropped the cigarette, stepped on it fiercely, and scolded, "The little devil raised by the son of a bitch owes us another account to settle." ”

-- Tianjin Port

Shouichi Terauchi looked at the soldiers coming down from the troop transport ships one by one, nodded and said, "How many have you arrived?" ”

The chief of staff next to him, Naosaburo Okabe, said, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, according to the latest information, the base camp has sent five divisions to our North China, and let the Sixth Division and other troops in the south return to the country, in addition to the Kwantung Army will send three divisions into the pass, our North China Front will have the strength of twelve divisions, and the Nanjing side will have the strength of thirteen divisions, and the base camp is ready to set up the 21st Army with Lieutenant General Guzhuang Ganlang as the commander of the army, and land in the Daya Bay area of Guangdong, They will have the support of three divisions and the navy, and the strength of our Imperial Japanese Army will reach 28 divisions in Guannai in a month, and a large number of Mongolian troops and Hebei Public Security Army will fight together, and the total strength will exceed 1 million.

Terauchi Shou nodded a little and said, "Order, the sixth, fifth, and thirty-seventh divisions that have arrived at the position are attacking Xuzhou with all their might, how much has our aviation been replenished?" ”

Okabe Naosaburo replied, "The replenishment has been completed, and when all the reinforcements arrive, we will have more than 400 planes in North China, plus 500 planes in Central China and 100 planes in South China, forming an absolute advantage." ”

Shouichi Terauchi looked at the south and said, "This time, we must capture Jiang Intermediary alive and let him crawl in front of our Emperor Majesty on his knees." (To be continued.) )
