- Through the river

Jiang Cheng and the others walked out of the cabin and saw several Japanese patrol boats constantly patrolling the river leading to the river, and a patrol boat approached for routine inspection. This is already the third inspection along the way.

Jiang Cheng saluted the visitor and asked, "What's the matter?" I don't think I've been checking a lot closer? ”

When the Japanese soldier heard that it was Japanese, and saw that it was a special high-tech officer, he said with a smile, "Are you on vacation, don't you know, we have been arresting Soviet spies everywhere recently, and it is said that nearly 100 people have been caught. ”

Jiang Cheng didn't dare to ask again, for fear of revealing flaws, and said hehe, "I just went on a mission, these people are all my people, have you already started to act, I thought it would be a few more days." ”

The Japanese soldiers thought that Jiang Cheng already knew, so they casually said a few words and got off the boat and let them go. Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Uncle Ye, let's find a place to get off the boat, since the devil is investigating the spy, our identity will also be in danger of being exposed." ”

Wang Jiaxiang said approvingly, "What 203 said makes sense, we now put safety first." ”

Everyone found a mountain forest and got off the boat, Zhou Weiguo pointed to the east and said, "It turns out that Commander Yang's headquarters is on the Jilin side, after we came, he changed the place of meeting to the location of the Sixth Army just in case, which is about three hundred miles away from here, and we have to walk for a while." ”

Ye Jianying looked at the dense forests around him and said with a smile: "Good guy, three hundred miles of mountains and forests, there is no one to lead the way, so you have to drag the army to death." ”

Wang Jiaxiang sighed and said, "This reminds me of our Jinggang Mountain, which is also full of mountains and forests, but we have more mountains there, and here, there are more forests." ”

Jiang Cheng pointed to the front and said, "Wang Yong went to the front to open the way, and Wei Guo, Uncle Ye, and I were in the middle. Li Qian postponed, everyone be careful, the enemy here is not only devils, but also poisonous insects and beasts, I have heard of the name of the Siberian Tiger for a long time. ”

The big forest in the northeast is boundless, but the mountains are not steep, but under the shade of trees for I don't know how many years, the sun can't see clearly. Therefore, the march was not fast.

Zhou Weiguo explained the situation in the Northeast to Jiang Cheng and others as he walked.

"Dongjia, I've been here for a month, I've really seen everyone, there are not only our anti-union here, but also a lot of beards, and even primitive tribes, our living environment here is not good." Zhou Weiguo said while holding a knife to cut a path.

"Oh. Beard, is there a lot of beard in the Northeast? Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think of the extremely classic "Lin Hai Snow Field"

Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Many." There are a lot of people, there has never been peace here in the Northeast, and when Zhang Zuolin was there, he was quite passable. After 918, many troops were unwilling to surrender and could not defeat the devils, so they went to the mountains to become bandits, in fact, not many of these people joined our Anti-Japanese Federation. I heard from Commander Yang that there were at least 1,000 large and small hills in the entire northeast, and there were at least 300,000 guns combined. ”

Ye Jianying stammered, "No." How many people are there in the Northeast? There is also a question about the Eastern Army and the puppet Manchurian army here, how can there be so many mountains? ”

Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I understood it as soon as I said it, these guns were from the Taiping Army period, the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai entered the Guannei, the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Civil War, 918, the war along the way, how many guns were scattered among the people, many of these three or four hundred thousand guns were still the Qing government back then, although the land in the Northeast is fertile, when the good land is now occupied by the Japanese, coupled with the exploitation of the landlords, poverty and hunger are like the devil forcing countless farmers to the mountains and forests, Many young people are not willing to live a lifetime in a nest, and would rather go up to the mountain to be a beard and live a few years of leisure. ”

Wang Jiaxiang said with a smile: "At first, I was worried that we would not be able to get arms and weapons, but now I see, is the entire Northeast our arsenal?" ”

Zhou Weiguo immediately said, "Mr. Wang, don't think like this, those beards all occupy favorable terrain, and it is very difficult for us to attack them. ”

Jiang Cheng said indifferently: "We are here, and we will no longer let the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation suffer." ”

The mountain road is difficult to walk, Jiang Cheng and his party walked unconsciously for two days, Jiang Cheng's body was strengthened, and Wang Jiaxiang and Li Fuchun couldn't stand it anymore.

At this time, Zhou Weiguo said excitedly, "We are almost here, and there is our secret camp not far ahead." ”

In these secret barracks, the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation stockpiled military supplies, treated the wounded, repaired firearms, collected enemy information, publicized anti-Japanese propaganda, and sewed winter clothes, which became the most important lifeline of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

Zhou Weiguo pointed to the front and said, "Look, that little bit of red means that there are people there, if you don't say the code, they will shoot." ”

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened before he reluctantly saw a small red flag hanging on the tree, and Zhou Weiguo shouted loudly: "The liquor is here!" ”

After a while, there was a sentence from there, "Green onions are served!!" ”

Ye Jianying said with a black line on one end: "How can this be the same as a bandit's den?" ”

Wang Jiaxiang said understandingly: "There are many green forest people in the Anti-Japanese Federation, do you understand?" ”

When everyone walked into the secret camp, they found that the so-called secret camp was nothing more than a straw hut made of pine branches, and there were only three people in it.

At this time, it was already June and July, even in the Northeast, the temperature had reached more than 20 degrees, and there was no dress of Yangtze Zirong as Jiang Cheng imagined, but a normal long-sleeved military uniform. If this garment, with patches in four or five colors, could still be called a military uniform.

"Captain, you're here!" It was a soldier in camouflage uniform who spoke, but it was Jiang Cheng's guards, and the other two fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation heard that this person from the military department called the young man in front of him as the captain, and knew that this was a chief, so he quickly stood up and said, "Hello, sir." ”

Jiang Cheng stepped aside, exposed Ye Jianying and the others, and said, "This is your commander, where is your military headquarters, take us quickly." ”

The team member immediately said, "I was sent by Commander Yang to pick me up, and the owner just followed me." ”

——Liangzihe Forest Farm

This is the military headquarters of the Sixth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and there are a total of eleven armies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. However, only the first, second, third, sixth, and seventh were organized by the Red Party, and the other armies were either heroes of the green forest or officers and soldiers of the former Northeast Army.

This is a large secret camp, Jiang Cheng walked into the woods, only to feel suddenly enlightened, in the woods densely built a lot of small cabins, the wooden houses are covered with roofs made of branches, more than a dozen neatly dressed officers have already stood outside the secret camp waiting for the arrival of Jiang Cheng and his party. Their situation can be seen from their dress, none of them have a dress in the true sense of the word, and their faces are full of vegetables. Some of them walked slightly afloat, and it was easier to believe that they were more refugees than the military.

The leader was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked extremely majestic, and when he saw Jiang Cheng and his party, he immediately stepped forward excitedly.

"Are you Comrade Marchand? I've seen you, remember me? Wang Jiaxiang also stepped forward and asked excitedly.

Marchand is Yang Jingyu's real name, and Yang Jingyu can't remember how long he hasn't heard someone call him by that name.

"Comrade Wang Jiaxiang, I am finally looking forward to your coming. I. In the past few years, I have been looking forward to it every day, every night. I just hope that the central government can come to guide us to resist Japan. Yang Jingyu said, his eyes were red, he went to the Northeast from 29 years. In 32 years, the anti-Japanese team was formed, and until today it has been in the northeast for nine years, and the war has been fought for six years, since the Red Army's Long March. Yang Jingyu lost contact with the central government for a long time, and repeatedly sent people to return to the customs to look for the central government through the Soviet Union, but was blocked by the Soviet Union. Even an elite cavalry team was annexed by the Soviet Union, and Yang Jingyu could only swallow his anger and dare not speak out.

At this time, a long-faced officer excitedly pointed at Wang Jiaxiang and Ye Jianying and said, "Two old classmates, I didn't expect to meet you in such a place." ”

Ye Jianying looked at it and smiled and said, "Shao Huang, you are also here, it's been ten years, don't you look like you have changed much." ”

When the Soviet Union repeatedly asked the Anti-Japanese Federation to enter the Soviet Union and merge into the Red Army, it was he, Li Zhaolin, Feng Zhongyun and others who strongly opposed it, so that the Anti-Japanese Federation did not disappear in the steel torrent of the Soviet Union.

Yang Jingyu no longer doubted whether these people were really from the central government, and hurriedly said, "Quick, go in and sit down and say, Comrade Zhou Weiguo, I'm really sorry, I've always been a little suspicious of you." ”

Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "It's nothing, this is also normal, after all, our environment is too special." ”

Sitting down on the wooden chair, Wang Jiaxiang said, "Let me introduce it first, after all, some comrades still don't know us, I am Wang Jiaxiang, the current member of the Central ******, this is Comrade Ye Jianying, one of the founders of the Whampoa Military Academy, proficient in guerrilla tactics, the former deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, this Comrade Li Fuchun, has rich experience in organization and logistics and economic management, this is Sister Cai, is the wife of Comrade Li Fuchun, studied in Europe, good at political work, this is Comrade 203. ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "My identity is relatively special, I hope that less people know about it, the better." ”

Zhou Baozhong, Yang Jingyu and others thought that Jiang Cheng was doing intelligence work, and nodded disapprovingly, expressing understanding.

Yang Jingyu explained the people on his side and said, "I Yang Jingyu won't say it, this is Xia Yunjie, the commander of the Sixth Army, this is Zhou Baozhong, the commander of the Fifth Army, this is Wei Zhengmin, the director of our Political Department, and this is Zhang Shouhou, the director of the Political Department of the Sixth Army." We have a total of 11 armies, divided into three routes, and now have a total of more than 20,000 people. ”

After the introduction, Yang Jingyu couldn't wait to ask, "I don't know what happened to the central government now?" We can only hear some wind here, where did the Japanese hit? What is the purpose of the central government's sending you? Is it necessary for us to contain the Japanese here? ”

Wang Jiaxiang hurriedly raised his palms and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you slowly, now the Japanese army is already attacking Wuhan, the national army and the Japanese army are scorching, our Red Army is now fighting guerrilla warfare in North China and Jiangnan, our strength has exceeded the highest peak of the Jinggangshan period, and now we have more than 500,000 regular troops in North China alone." ”

"Great." Yang Jingyu waved his arms excitedly.

Wang Jiaxiang continued, "And we also have our own factory, I believe that we will be able to slowly become self-sufficient in the near future, as for this time we came, one is to re-establish the connection between the Northeast and the central government, the second is to better command the Anti-United Nations to carry out operations behind enemy lines, and the third is to increase the strength of our Anti-United Nations." ”

Wei Zhengmin was a scholar with eyes, and he asked curiously, "I don't know how much money the central government has brought this time?" When will the big force arrive? ”

Wang Jiaxiang shook his head with a smile and said, "People." It's just a few of us, and we have some money, but it's not much, but don't be disappointed, we have other support, and everyone will know when the time comes. ”

Yang Jingyu said at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, Comrade Wang Jiaxiang is a member of the Central Committee ******, and he has come to us to guide the work. ”

Zhou Baozhong, Wei Zhengmin and others are all from the Red Party, and they feel extremely normal about such things. immediately applauded, but unexpectedly, a person came from outside and heard this, and immediately shouted excitedly, "No, absolutely not, commander, don't do stupid things, we fight to the death, we can't masturbate us at once." ”

Jiang Cheng frowned. But they were two young officers, one with a gloomy face, no more than twenty years old, and the other with a beard. He looks five big and three thick, but his eyes reveal shrewdness.

Seeing this, Yang Jingyu hurriedly shouted, "This is a military-level meeting, who let you in, Cheng Bin, you let me out!" ”

Cheng Bin? Jiang Cheng immediately remembered this person. It was this person who betrayed the Japanese and led the Japanese to constantly surround and intercept him, putting Yang Jingyu in a desperate situation.

Cheng Bin glanced at Wang Jiaxiang and the others viciously, and left angrily. The young man remained motionless.

"Xiufeng, you go out too!" Yang Jingyu changed his tone, and his tone revealed a kind of kindness.

Zhang Xiufeng, the platoon leader of the personal guard platoon raised by Yang Jingyu as his son, exposed Yang Jingyu's position after the mutiny, making Yang Jingyu the person who was surrounded.

The corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth rose slightly, he didn't expect to see two of the four traitors so soon.

Yang Jingyu said with some embarrassment, "This Cheng Bin grew up with me since he was a child, and his political consciousness is a little low, I hope the leaders don't mind." ”

Wang Jiaxiang shook his hand and said, "He doesn't say it, I also want to say that we have just come to the Northeast, and we don't know anything about the humanities here. Saying that, Wang Jiaxiang took out a letter and handed it to Yang Jingyu.

After reading it, Yang Jingyu sighed and said, "The organization trusts me so much, then I will reluctantly make it difficult for me to steal this position for a period of time, everyone, I think so, Comrade Ye Jianying has served as a staff officer for a long time, so he will be the chief of the general staff of our Anti-Japanese Federation, Comrade Wang Jiaxiang, I think he can concurrently serve as the political commissar of our Anti-Japanese Federation, and Comrade Li Fuchun is the director of our General Logistics Department, what do you think?" ”

Wei Zhengmin was several levels behind Wang Jiaxiang according to his rank, where did he have any opinions, he hurriedly clapped his hands and applauded, and he passed it temporarily after a while.

Ye Jianying stood up and said, "Everyone, I will now talk about our plan, in the next month, we will gather all the troops scattered in various places and retrain the troops, whether our soldiers are will or individual combat, under the tempering of such a long time of fighting, I believe they are extremely good, but in terms of tactics, I think there are still shortcomings, in the next three months, our task is to train troops." ”

Yang Jingyu couldn't help but ask in embarrassment, "Where does the food needed for this training come from, and it is easy for us to be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army by concentrating our troops, and in addition, we don't have ammunition for the soldiers to train." ”

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "Two days, if Commander Yang still objects after two days, how about this proposal be invalidated?" ”

Yang Jingyu looked at Wang Jiaxiang curiously, Wang Jiaxiang touched his chin and said with a smile, "203 is special in the party, you should know that our party's secrecy system is divided into three levels, but now there is a fourth gear, there is no level above top secret, this is specially set up for 203, simply put, these things have never happened, we will never admit it." That's all I can say. (To be continued.) )

There were 34 commanders, 37 army commanders, 161 division commanders, and more than 1,000 brigade commanders who were appointed by the White Party.
