After listening to the words of Wang Weiyu, director of the Political Department, Wang Yachen lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and took the two of them to find Meng Qingshan. In the gendarmerie next to the police station, Meng Qingshan was talking to Wang Wennian.

"Lao Wang, can you go and talk to your cousin and ask him to come to us to help us, we now have nearly two thousand people, but only two hundred of them are veterans, and the rest are either recruits or the Kuomintang, to unite them not only by fighting the Japanese army, but also by someone to do political work."

Wang Yachen heard Meng Qingshan's words when he walked into Meng Qingshan's house, so he said to Meng Qingshan: "Master Meng, although the remaining people in my Tenth Army no longer have any combat effectiveness, after all, they have been under the leadership of the party for many years, and they also have some understanding of political work. ”

"In this way, let them temporarily change to political workers. As for me, I am not strong in politics, but my military ability is still very strong, so how about I make you a chief of staff first? ”

"Lao Zhang's military ability is also very good, how about letting him be a regiment commander in your hands." Speaking of this, Wang Yachen pointed to Wang Weiyu, director of the Political Department of the Tenth Army beside him, and said, "But Lao Wang is an excellent talent. He was specially sent by the commander-in-chief to the Tenth Army to assist me in my work, and his political ability is still good, so he can help you a lot. Hearing that Wang Yachen was going to come over to help him, how could Meng Qingshan not be shocked?

Wang Yachen is a heroic figure who has experienced a hundred battles, how can he be unhappy that such a person can come to help him, but he turned out to be a military commander, and he was demoted a few levels to be the chief of staff? Seeing the hesitant look in Meng Qingshan's eyes, Wang Yachen smiled and said: "Old Meng, we are all party members, and what we pursue is not the level of the official position or the size of the position, but the cause of the party. As long as it is beneficial to the party's cause and the Northeast War of Resistance, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Hearing Wang Yachen's words, Meng Qingshan nodded solemnly and said, "Then there are some grievances against Commander Wang." Commander Wang is willing to come to us as chief of staff, and we welcome it so much. Comrade Wang Weiyu will continue to be director of the Political Department, and Deputy Commander Zhang can first serve as deputy chief of staff. After returning to the secret camp, the team was reorganized and leading the troops. Meng Qingshan's words fell, and after Wang Yachen, Zhang Zhongxi, and Wang Weiyu glanced at each other, he stretched out his left hand, clasped it tightly with Meng Qingshan's hand, and said, "Please rest assured, Master Meng, we will resolutely obey your command in the future." However, Wang Wennian was overjoyed after listening to it, and shouted: "Finally, I can not be the chief of staff, I am relieved, I will go below to lead the troops to fight, this is the job I should do." For Wang Wennian's resolute request, after hesitating for a while, Meng Qingshan nodded and agreed to let Wang Wennian go down to lead the troops, after all, he was not the material to be the chief of staff, and there was no one available before. After all, there are ten regiments in the Tenth Army, and after talking, Meng Qingshan found that half of the remaining people in the Tenth Army were officers, and it happened that Meng Qingshan was short of commanders and fighters. In Meng Qingshan's view, after the failure of the Western Expedition, when the ammunition and food were exhausted, he was able to persevere in such a difficult environment in the Wuchang County area. Knowing that victory is hopeless, but he continues to fight against the devils, he has not wavered, and those who have not rebelled are definitely the backbone and the essence. In that almost desperate environment, those who are still persisting are determined and unshakable. And most of these people are party members, all veterans who have been in the army for many years. Putting people at the grassroots level to serve as political workers is definitely beneficial to the development of the troops.

After taking the county seat, he only stayed in Wuchang County for less than half a day, and Meng Qingshan, who evacuated in the middle of the night while it was dark, only took a small number of shells before leaving, and the rest of the shells were put in place, but some mines were left near the shells, as long as the little devil wanted the shells, they would touch the mines, and the thunders would detonate immediately. This can give the little devil a certain loss. Although Meng Qingshan knew that such a mine could hurt the people, but the people in the Northeast who had nothing to do to take the shells of the little devils were also traitors. Some shells were also buried by Meng Qingshan in the gendarmerie and police station

It took nearly a night of marching, due to the large number of people and because of the captured middle ** and the new soldiers, the captured soldiers were hungry and yellow-skinned, and the physical fitness of the new recruits was okay but they couldn't bear the fatigue of crossing mountains and mountains, and in addition to the weapons, bullets, and food on their backs. Meng Qingshan knew that the devil had extremely strict control over the Northeast. To break this tight, almost harsh control, smashing must start with the most basic things.

As for what to do next, Meng Qingshan has already thought about it. After the meeting is completed, in addition to disrupting the plan of the devil's pioneer regiment and breaking off one of its hands to deal with the Anti-Japanese Federation, it is necessary to completely destroy the devil's plan to return to the tun and merge with the households, and restore the contact with the people. But what to do, Meng Qingshan doesn't have time to think about it for the time being. He now needed to figure out more about how to get back to the camp safely. By laying down the county seat of Wuchang by himself, it can be said that he has stabbed the entire puppet Binjiang Province by one day, which is tantamount to giving a ruthless big mouth to the Japanese puppet authorities who boast in the newspapers all day about how many brilliant victories they have achieved in suppressing bandits. The little devil still has no strength to chase himself? His focus should be on how to deal with those Japanese puppet troops in the next step.

"Old Meng, why don't you leave?" "Lao Wang, you take your brothers and supplies to withdraw first, and I will leave you behind to prevent the pursuit of the little devils. Let's meet in the area of Xiaohei Blind Mountain in Yushu County. ”

"No, I'll break it off, you take someone to go first."

"Don't fight, don't worry! I can't beat the little devils, I can't outrun them, but after more than a month of training, running is a common thing. ”

"You take the carriage to the north first, let Wang Wennian lead the way and return along the route we came, and when it is about ten kilometers away from the Binsui Railway, drop the carriage. Unload the horses and carry them instead. If you can't take it with you, you can even throw some of it away. But the carriages must not go into the mountains together. ”

"The goal of the carriage is too big, and it is easy to reveal our whereabouts. It's just those dozens of horses, and they have to give up when they have to. These horses are not war horses, they are not trained, they are easily frightened, they will expose us. "Although this area is high and densely forested, it is located between the three railways of Binsui Railway, Changtu Railway, and Mutu Railway, and it is too close to Haierbin, the important town of the little devils, and the room for maneuver is too small, and it is also convenient for the Japanese puppet army to mobilize troops, so you must be more careful."

"Okay, I'll be more careful. Lao Meng, you have to catch up as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you in the Little Black Blind Mountain, and we'll see you there. Although it took less than a day to coordinate with Meng Qingshan on the battlefield, Wang Yachen knew that Meng Qingshan's character would not change once he made up his mind.

Knowing that once Meng Qingshan decided something, Wang Yachen, who would not change it easily, did not argue too much about this matter. Wang Weiyu said with tears in his eyes: "Lao Meng, we are waiting for you to return victoriously in the secret camp." After saluting Meng Qingshan with a standard military salute and leaving Li Youde's reconnaissance platoon, Zhang Zhongxi just said: "Take care", and led the team to set off.
