Meng Qingshan sat on a small chair at the gate of the city, waiting for the battle situation in the city while waiting for the troops behind, "Division commander, division commander, we have eliminated all the puppet army, a battalion of puppet troops, including their battalion commander, were captured alive by us, 400 Fengtian Liao 13 rifles, more than 20 shell guns, nine light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, 10,000 rifle bullets, 30,000 machine gun bullets, 800 grenades, and more importantly, we captured a radio station from the enemy, And we found five big ships and ten small boats in their barracks. ”

The seizure of the radio station is something that Meng Qingshan dreamed of, and what he didn't get when he hit Wuchang County last time actually encountered it in this small town, Meng Qingshan hurriedly asked: "Zhongxi, have you attacked the barracks discovered by the Japanese of the Japanese pioneer group in the town?" ”

"Teacher, don't worry, it's almost early in the morning, and the little devil is sleeping like a dead pig, so you can rest assured."

"Well, you leave a battalion to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the troops hurry up to cross the river, and after crossing the river, carefully reconnoiter the terrain and try to find a hidden place so that the troops can have a good rest."

"Teacher, don't worry, my old Zhang has not been a fool all these years."

"Lao Zhang, why don't you leave, what are you doing here with me."

"Division commander, you see that we will cross the river first in a while, what if we run into the Japanese army and have no heavy firepower?"

Meng Qingshan knew at a glance what Zhang Zhongxi had in mind, and there were only three heavy machine guns in the division, all of which were gathered by Meng Qingshan to form a machine gun company, and they were not assigned to the regiment headquarters, looking at Zhang Zhongxi's twisting and pinching appearance, "Hurry up and lead the team across the river, the two heavy machine guns plus light machine guns will belong to you, these are enough for you to build a machine gun company." ”

"Thank you, commander, is that radio station also ours."

"I said Lao Zhang, do you have some inches, what do you want the radio station to do, your subordinates don't know how to use the radio station, don't fool around here, don't go across the river quickly."

"Commander, don't worry, I will definitely defend the estuary."

Seeing that Zhang Zhongxi and the people hurriedly set off, Meng Qingshan asked Li Youde to lead the reconnaissance company to inspect the town, and immediately kill him as soon as there was a situation, and he continued to sit on the chair and wait for the follow-up troops, and after ten minutes, he found a group of fast horses galloping over, Meng Qingshan looked at Li Yanping on horseback, hurriedly got up and greeted him and said: "Political commissar, what are you doing so fast, is there something going on behind?" ”

"My master, you are now the head of the first division of the Anti-Japanese Federation, why are you still rushing blindly as before, your legs are still running blindly, if something happens to you, what should we do, have you discussed with everyone about doing such a dangerous thing, do you know that your behavior in doing this is unorganized and undisciplined."

"Commissar, don't worry! Do you see that we are not successful? It didn't take a single shot to capture a battalion of the puppet army. ”

"This time, you were lucky, in case something happened, what if you let your troops change? In this dangerous time, we have to act step by step, and we can't do risky things, you have to know that a general is incapable of exhausting thousands of troops, and there is. ”

"The commissar now has a very important task waiting for you to complete."

"What task?"

"We have just captured a battalion of the puppet army, in order not to leak our whereabouts, we must take this group of prisoners with us when we cross the river, I want you to take all our current political work cadres and immediately go to the prisoners to separate the enemy officers into custody, carry out activities such as complaining and talking, and try to mobilize them to participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation, so that we don't have to send heavy troops to guard them."

"Teacher, we all know how to talk to each other, but ...... complain?" Political Commissar Li Yanping looked at the division commander and asked suspiciously.

suffered, the complaint only appeared when the People's Liberation Army appeared, alas! Since you have said it, let's use it, you must know that the grievance movement is the most important magic weapon for the PLA to mobilize prisoners! Meng Qingshan thought secretly.

"Huh! Political commissar, this complaint is to gather everyone together and tell the little devils, the little devils have brought the suffering to their families, so that they can understand that the suffering they have suffered is the ...... brought to them by the little devils' aggressive rule."

The more Li Yanping listened, the more excited he became, if he really did what the division commander said, then many of those prisoners would definitely join the army, and the Anti-Japanese Federation would never worry about the soldiers in the future, I really don't know how Meng Qingshan's mind appeared.

"Commander, it seems that our Anti-Union has not carried out this complaint you said, what do you think?" Li Yanping asked.

"Well, it's very simple! You must know that there are many such examples in ancient China! You see, there are a lot of such stories in ancient times, what embattled and so on, you should learn more if you have nothing to do. Meng Qingshan didn't want to say too much, and replied vaguely.

Li Yanping took the political work cadres under the leadership of Xiaohuzi and turned around to arrange for the prisoner work.

"Commissar, wait, didn't we capture a radio station from the enemy? Let's see if the troops can operate the radio, let's try to contact the commander-in-chief? ”

After Li Yanping heard this, his eyes lit up, "Division commander, I won't tell you, I originally studied in the Soviet Union, I will, originally our Fourth Army had a radio station, but unfortunately it was damaged by the bomber of the little devil in another battle." ”

At that moment, when you are resting after crossing the river, you can see if you can contact the commander-in-chief.

Then we'll try to get in touch with the commander-in-chief in a moment, and now we'll talk to the captives first.

At this time, the headquarters of the Second Route Army led by the commander-in-chief had just broken through the enemy's encirclement and arrived at the secret camp area of the Lanbang Mountain Garrison in Baoqing County for rest. Obviously, the atmosphere was very wrong, and many people in the room were smoking muffled cigarettes, and the room was full of smoke.

"Everybody's talking! This is related to the future of our Anti-Japanese Federation! Commander Zhou looked at the frowning crowd and said.

"Commander-in-chief of our Second Route Army now, the Eighth Army defected under the leadership of Army Commander Xie Wendong, the Fourth Army and the Tenth Army and we were cut off a long time ago, I think they were either wiped out by the Japanese army or scattered, now only the 5th Army and the 7th Army are less than 300 troops, facing the encirclement and suppression of more than 100,000 Japanese troops, we people are absolutely impossible, now we are left with only two roads, one is to make peace with the newly formed Third Route Army, and the other is to retreat to the territory of the Soviet Union to recuperate for a period of time, leaving some seeds for the Anti-Japanese Alliance." Chief of Staff Cui Shiquan hurriedly said.

"Do you have any different opinions?" The commander-in-chief looked at the commanders of the two armies that he had left.

"Commander-in-chief, why don't we send a telegram to ask about the situation of the Third Route Army!"

"With our current strength, if we want to break through the encirclement of the Japanese army and make peace with the Third Route Army, it is impossible, the Japanese army will definitely wait for us to send them into their encirclement now, and we can only retreat to the territory of the Soviet Union to recuperate."
