-- Moscow

Stalin looked at the telegram and happily waved his pipe and said, "Our Chinese comrades are doing a good job, and they are starting to act before we have issued an order, and we need such internationalist fighters." Tell Zhukov that the Chinese Red Party is attacking the back of the Japanese army, let him rest assured, he will definitely not face all the main forces of the Japanese army this time, and the Japanese army's offensive time will definitely be delayed. ”

Dimitrov smiled beside him, you know, after the Seventh National Congress of the Red International, Dimitrov was fully responsible for the China issue, and some time ago the various actions of the Chinese Red Party made him feel extremely passive and worried, but now it seems that although the Chinese Red Party has its own ideas, it is still generally towards the Soviet Union.

Dimitrov said: "Comrade Stalin, the Chinese Red Party has told us their loyalty by deeds, and I think we should also respond to them in public opinion, so that they will strengthen their determination to fight against Japanese imperialism, and we should encourage Chongqing to send troops together, and now that the Chinese Red Party is attacking Hebei from the north and east, the Chongqing government will greatly support the offensive of the Chinese Red Party if it can attack Kaifeng and Zhengzhou from Luoyang." ”

Stalin nodded and said, "Very well, if it really succeeds, the main attention of the Japanese will have to return to China, and we will be safe again in the Far East, Hitler has been a little too calm lately, I have always thought that he is planning something, I hope it will not be an attack on us with Japan." ”

Dimitrov couldn't help asking: "There is still Poland between Germany and us, and if Germany wants to attack us, doesn't it have to solve the Polish problem?" ”

Stalin said with a look of wisdom in his hand: "Poland is nothing more than a dog raised by Britain and France, and if Germany is willing to attack us in exchange, Chamberlain will kick Poland's ass the next day and make them surrender to Germany." I suspect that Hitler is doing this now, but our power in Germany has now been greatly reduced, and many things cannot be inquired about. ”

Beria hurriedly said, "This is my dereliction of duty, I will strengthen the intelligence work on Germany." ”

Stalin shook his hand and said comfortingly, "Our enemy is very fierce, and it is because of this that we need to be more united and strong. ”

-- Chongqing

"This was a great offensive, this was a just war, and when Japanese imperialism attacked the great Soviets, the equally great Chinese Red Party brazenly raised a roar to defend the Soviets and attacked the Japanese army in Hebei."

"Click" Jiang turned off the radio, and his whole face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water.

"My chairman, this is just a one-sided statement of the Soviets, and the information we have received does not say that the Eighth Route Army is under the banner of defending the Soviets, and they are fighting under the banner of returning our rivers and mountains and recovering our China, so I wonder if we should go to verify it." Some worried, because of this red and white parties broke up, Lin Sen said.

"What else is there to verify? It's more credible and hateful to just say and not do than to just do nothing, the master has spoken, will this slave still say a word? And according to the division of the military region, when did this Hebei become the theater of the Eighth Route Army? Jiang Zhong's anger could already come out of his eyes, if it wasn't for Lin Sen who spoke, I'm afraid he would have thrown it over with a teacup.

"This Hebei is behind enemy lines, and it doesn't belong to any war zone?" Lin Sen continued.

"Then Tokyo is not part of the division of the war zone, why didn't he go to Tokyo with the Eighth Route Army?" Saying that, Jiang intermediary also felt that his tone was a little bad, coughed and said, "Chairman, don't worry, I, Jiang, know the severity, but the dissent of the Red Party is also clear, Shanxi is already my bottom line by the Red Party, Hebei must not be controlled by the Red Party, if this continues, I am afraid that the anti-Japanese resistance is over, and we will have to resist the Soviet Union." ”

Lin Sen sighed and said, "I know I can't stop you, speaking of anti-red, when the first prime minister went, it was I the first to ask to change Rong Hong to anti-red, but the times are different, the most important goal now is to defeat the Japanese, and the rest can be released first." ”

As he spoke, Lin Sen said in a low voice, "As long as we achieve the final victory against Japan, you Jiang Intermediary will be the first person in thousands of years to completely defeat the foreign invasion after losing nearly half of the country. If the Red Party dares to use guns, we will not say anything difficult to deal with them when the time comes. ”

Jiang Zhong didn't think so, and said in his mouth, "Lin Gong is right, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Lin Sen watched Jiang Intermediary leave, couldn't help but shake his head, his heart was full of boredom and worry, opened his cabinet, took out a white bone treasured inside, wiped it carefully, and said in his mouth, "It's still hello, there are no worries, don't worry, when the anti-Japanese war is over, I will go back to accompany you and talk to you every day."

And Jiang intermediary returned to his office, let Dai Li come over, then bowed his head and pondered, at this time, Chen Bui took a telegram and handed it to Jiang intermediary and said, "Commission, the eldest prince has a letter, you can take a look." ”

Jiang intermediary didn't want to look at it, and said directly, "You can be careless." ”

Chen Bui nodded and said, "The eldest prince hopes to send troops to Nanchang to respond to the offensive of the Eighth Route Army in the north. ”

"Nonsense!!" Jiang Intermediary shouted violently, "Let him take it with me honestly in Ganzhou, I see that his head is getting more and more dizzy, hum!"

Seeing Jiang Intermediary like this, Chen Bui hurriedly retreated, Dai Li saw Chen Bui come out, went in and saluted Jiang Intermediary and said, "Principal, are you looking for students?" ”

Jiang Zhong nodded, beckoned and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you to do." ”

-- Yi County

Chen Geng looked at the rolling Yishui River, pointed to the opposite side and said, "There are still at most 2,000 devils in this Yi County, but this defensive position is not easy to fight, it is already noon, we will start attacking at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the artillery team is ready, right?" Now they are the workhorse. ”

Chen Zaidao said, "Our rocket artillery is all concentrated in Shikang Village, where the terrain is higher, which can increase our range, last night's raid, we have already fought a round of the devil's headquarters, and thanks to our underground party, otherwise how would we know where the devil's headquarters is." ”

Chen Geng nodded and said, "The underground party members have made a lot of contributions, the Yishui River is not wide, both sides are flat, there are fortifications on the devil's side, and our side is unobstructed, so we must be fast, we can't let the troops stay by the river, the devils have smashed the bridge, we can only build pontoon bridges and boats, how long will it take to build our pontoon bridges?" ”

"I've been to the sapper barracks, and it's not a problem to build a pontoon bridge, but we still have fewer boats, so how about I use rafts?" Chen Zaidao proposed.

Chen Geng nodded and said, "I think it's okay, the left and right sides can attack in three ways, three regiments at a time, use more smoke bombs, it's better to work hard." ”

Chen Zaidao sighed and went down to arrange.

Time passed little by little, and before Chen Geng could start attacking, more than a dozen black spots appeared in the sky.

"Damn, it's a devil's fly, it's going to be maggots again, quick, pull out the anti-aircraft machine gun, everyone hide." Chen Geng hurriedly commanded.

The Japanese planes roared through the sky and came to the Yishuihe position, and the Japanese soldiers in the Yishuihe fortifications shouted excitedly when they saw the planes, and some Japanese soldiers simply opened fire to celebrate.

The Japanese planes flew around in a circle and returned to the sky above the position of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese planes, which had already suffered many losses, did not dare to descend too low, and began to drop bombs at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.

There is no one of these bombs, and it seems that the purpose is not to kill at all.

"It's not good, this little devil wants to use the plane to delay time and prevent us from crossing the river, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive at any time, and Wang Shusheng's guerrillas can't be contained for too long, we can't wait any longer, we must attack." Chen Geng quickly reacted and said.

"Oh! Command the troops, the plan remains the same. Chief of Staff Li Jukui said helplessly.

When the time reached thirteen o'clock, the rocket team located in Shikang Village was the first to speak, nearly 100 rockets, shot out in one breath, and rushed to the Yishui River fortifications quickly, 200 artillery pieces of various types also fired in turn, one shell after another like locusts flew across the river, exploded in the pillboxes and barbed wire, and some shells emitted bursts of smoke, permeating the position.

The Japanese army hurriedly began to counterattack, because they could not see clearly, they could only shoot blindly, the Eighth Route Army and the 61st Army rushed to the river quickly, and one by one the rafts were thrown into the river, and more soldiers of the engineer battalion began to build pontoon bridges with logs.

When the Japanese planes saw that the Eighth Route Army was attacking, they immediately lowered the planes in a hurry, opened fire and strafed the Eighth Route Army by the river, and dropped bombs. For a time, the Eighth Route Army by the river was blown up with pieces of blood.

This is an anti-aircraft machine gun, 12.7 mm bullets are enough to break a strong man in two, more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns continue to pursue the flying Japanese planes, and soon, two or three planes emitted black smoke.

The smoke of the smoke bombs quickly dissipated, and the Japanese machine guns and artillery fired more and more accurately.

"All members of the Red Party take a step forward!" Li Long shouted loudly, and two or three hundred people in the army stepped forward in unison.

Li Long nodded, pulled out a big knife, held a shell gun in his hand and said, "Comrades, I won't say much, the devil's plane is getting maggots, and we don't have much time, if this stalemate continues, the devil's reinforcements will arrive, in a word, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!" Attack the past, fight the past, kill the past, and tell the little devil, don't say that this small Yishui River, even the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, can't stop us Red Party members. In the future, even in the Pacific Ocean, we will also cross over, capture the Japanese emperor alive, and let him atone for the war. Well, let's not talk about it, the three independent regiments! Offensive!!! Tian Jie, Lao Tzu's life will be handed over to you, the cannon will give me a fatal beating, Lao Tzu can't do it! ”

After speaking, Li Long took the lead in carrying a raft and was about to rush forward.

"Li Long, what do you want to do? What exactly are you referring to? Or an ordinary warrior? Zhao Gang hurriedly ran over and said.

"Lao Zhao, when is this? Where is there time to say this, when I come back, I'll let you say it for a night. With that, Li Long ran up.

Zhao Gang looked at it and stomped his feet, grabbed a rifle in one hand, and followed behind.

"Lao Zhao, what about this war, what are you making a fuss about?" Li Long saw Zhao Gang behind him and said anxiously.

"You Li Datuanzi ordered all the Red Party members to come forward, I, Zhao Gang, am no worse than your Li Long's party age, and I naturally want to step forward." After speaking, Zhao Gang ran to the front of Li Long and said, "Comrades, speed up!" Capture the Yishui River and liberate the Yi County! ”

Tian Jie carefully calculated, and shouted, "All artillery, covering fire, Jiading 26 area, one smoke bomb, has Ding 25 area, four consecutive shots, plus one smoke bomb." “

Bang bang bang, the shells were fired again, and the smoke soon filled the Japanese army again, this time, even Li Long's attacking troops were also flooded with smoke, Li Long threw the raft into the water, and then quickly stepped forward and ordered the troops to row the raft quickly.

Chen Geng watched the troops on the left advancing rapidly, and couldn't help asking, "Whose troops are this, they are so brave." ”

Chen Zaidao glanced at it and said with a smile, "Who else could it be, that guy Li Long, hey, look, Wang Jinshan is also in a hurry." ”

Sure enough, the 772nd Regiment saw that the Dusan Regiment actually ran to the front, Wang Jinshan held the military flag in one hand and the shell gun in the other, shouted and got on the pontoon bridge, the shells kept exploding on the water, but he didn't care, a stray bullet passed through his face, drawing a bloody mark, he wiped it hard, threw the military flag to the soldiers next to him, took the Czech machine gun, and fired at the Japanese pillbox, shouting while fighting, "Comrades, rush!" Kill it! ”

Another round of rockets was launched, although the rockets did not cause much damage to the fortifications, but the terrifying scene was enough to make everyone frightened, and the Japanese planes ran out of bombs and bullets, and after dropping four planes, they left helplessly.

The reduction of air pressure greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and at this time, bursts of gunfire came from behind the Japanese positions.

Li Long couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Don't stop, keep rowing, whatever he does, go ashore first. ”

And behind the Japanese defensive positions, a unit has already attacked the Japanese positions.

"Regiment Commander, will we really be accepted by the Eighth Route Army? We're traitors. One of the soldiers said scaredly.

"Smack," the person who was called the head of the regiment slapped him and said, "What traitor, Lao Tzu, this is in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, and Guan Yunchang is doing it, okay?" ”

After speaking, the regiment commander saw that someone was about to charge, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "What are you rushing?" It's good for us to harass here, the Eighth Route Army is all heavenly soldiers and generals, even without us, we can win, what's the hurry, when the time comes, we will attack. ”

"Boom" A bunker was blown up, Shen Lang brandished a rifle and stabbed a Japanese soldier to death, several grenades flew from behind him into the trench, and several Japanese soldiers who had not yet fired fell in the explosion, suddenly, a dark bunker spit out tongues of fire and hit the two soldiers behind Shen Lang, Shen Lang hurriedly rolled into the trench.

"No Queen!" Shen Lang shouted loudly, the current Eighth Route Army is accustomed to a set of tactics in battle, this encounter pillbox, as long as you can use recoilless guns, use recoilless guns, unless there is no way, otherwise generally do not need human lives, this brave soldier is worth more than anything.

A cannonball accurately hit the bunker, and the shock wave of the armor shattering bullet caused countless stones to fly out of the bunker, killing the Japanese soldiers in the bunker, and blood suddenly flowed to the ground.

Chen Geng looked at the blue sky and white sun flag planted on the Japanese position, nodded and applauded, and said, "This Dusan regiment has made great contributions, and I want to ask for merit for them." ”

"Brigade commander, we found out that there is a regiment of puppet troops behind the Japanese army anyway, and the family members of this regiment are all from Yi County, probably because they are afraid that we will win the battle and clean them up. This is a telegram from our underground party, and there are also our people in that regiment. The devils didn't dare to let them go to the front line, but they copied the back road. Chen Zaidao looked at the telegram and said.

"Well, now is the period of resistance against Japan, and we must fight for all forces, even if they are in an uprising." Chen Geng thought for a while, and finally nodded and said. (To be continued.) )
