Looking at the figure of the Eighth Route Army in the distance, an officer asked, "Tuanzao, let them go like this?" ”

Zhang Guangbei threw the horsewhip to the guard next to him and said, "What else do you want to do if you don't let them go?" The little devil is hundreds of miles away, do you want us to fight and make the little devil cheaper? But have you noticed, their equipment and military appearance are not bad! Although there is still a gap with us, it is not reckless, Chief Yan is indeed right, if this continues, the power of the Red Party is indeed too strong. ”

The adjutant smiled and said, "Why worry about the group, I don't think this red party is just like this, it's just taking advantage of the night attack, look, isn't this being chased by the Japanese army all over the mountains?" ”

Zhang Guangbei shook his head and said, "You only see one side, we also retreated when we were in Songhu, but how did we retreat?" Even Chief Xue was forced to fall into the water, the people in front blew up the bridge behind them, and there were countless bastards who planted mines on the road, but what about their Red Party? The retreat was orderly, you listen, the people behind the break are still shooting, and I can hear it, this is a shot every ten minutes, which means that there is nothing to do behind. ”

Adjutant Qidao: "Wait, isn't this telling the Japanese troops their direction?" ”

Zhang Guangbei snorted and said, "That's why I said don't underestimate them, where are they fleeing, they are luring the enemy!" I'm afraid that the devils won't know where they are! The devil is also helpless, if you don't chase it, how can you explain it to the above? Chasing, who knows what's ahead, this is a conspiracy, fighting, what I'm most afraid of is such a conspiracy! Let's go back to the play, it won't be long before the Japanese army will have to suffer again. ”

-- Xinjiang

The real ruler of Xinjiang at this time was Sheng Shicai, who was born in Liaoning and was only 44 years old when he was born in 1895, but he had already mastered Xinjiang for five spring and autumn periods. In 1930, he entered Xinjiang as the chief instructor of tactics at the Military Academy, and two years later, he served as the commander-in-chief of the East Road to suppress bandits, winning many battles. In the 33-year Xinjiang "April 12" incident, he became the governor of Xinjiang and became the king of Xinjiang.

But Xinjiang is alone, and the Soviet Union is watching. At that time, in addition to Sheng Shicai's troops, there were two forces in Xinjiang, Ma Zhongying, Ma Bufang's cousin, and Zhang Peiyuan, who occupied Ili, and both of them had more troops than Sheng Shicai, Sheng Shicai wanted to be the king of Xinjiang, and did not want to be controlled by the Nationalist Government, so he turned to the Soviet Union, which was close at hand, for the Soviet Union, a pro-Soviet Xinjiang government was an important prerequisite for ensuring the tranquility of the 3,000-kilometer border. The two hit it off, the Soviet Union not only provided Sheng Shicai with a large amount of military equipment and personnel and materials, but also entered Xinjiang to fight in the battle between Sheng Shicai and Zhang and Zhang, and Ma Shenggui, the general of the Ma family's army, was killed by the Soviets.

With the help of the Soviet Union, Xinjiang's economy developed and recovered somewhat, but at that time there were other Western forces in Xinjiang, such as the British, who instigated the establishment of a "republic" in Kashgar in November 1933. The republic was declared a "permanent democratic republic". In order to ensure the political power in Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai ordered the closure of foreign banks and Catholic churches. Deport all foreign nationals. With the exception of the Soviets, almost all foreigners who went to Xinjiang were arrested. When the Soviet Union saw Sheng Shicai's actions, it mistakenly thought that he was really devoted to the Red Party and Marxism-Leninism, and gave more support to Sheng Shicai.

After the start of the Sino-Japanese war. Sheng Shicai first asked to join the Chinese Red Party when Wang Ming returned to China at the end of 37, and then secretly visited the Soviet Union in 38 and joined the Soviet Red Party. The first is to protect the supplies, and the second is to prevent any armed forces, including the Nationalist Army, from entering Xinjiang.

At this time, a new language appeared in Xinjiang, which is a language that the people of Xinjiang have never heard, and the speed of speech is extremely fast, and many of the people who say this are wearing small hats, which makes some people who believe in the Green Religion feel a little close, but if you look closely, you will find that this hat is not the same as them, it is much smaller, and it can only cover a small part of the middle of the head.

The men, under the command of a few yellow people who also spoke their languages, took their luggage, got into the carriage, and headed out of the city, and today was the day they went to their final destination.

Sheng Shicai looked at the team passing downstairs, and said to Wang Ming next to him, "Your Red Party is really a big deal, I heard that a total of one or two hundred planes were used, and there are twenty or thirty DC-3s in Urumqi alone that are constantly transporting people, what do you want so many foreigners for?" Do they also believe in Marxism-Leninism as much as we do? ”

After coming to Xinjiang, everything was normal, but suddenly one day, Sheng Shi came to him, saying that he had received a joint telegram from Berlin, London and Paris, hoping that he would accept the workers who were going to go through China to the United States.

When did you get from Czechoslovakia to the United States by plane through the war zone to Hong Kong, and then take a boat to the west coast of the United States? This is a naked conspiracy, but this is a joint telegram from the three major European powers, and it seems that the only people who dare to directly reject the three major powers are the Soviet Union behind themselves and the destination of these workers, the United States.

But when Sheng Shicai saw the route of these workers, he immediately understood what was going on, only to see that all these workers were going to Yan'an for a transfer, Yan'an? A small city that is good for nothing but the Red Party? Where to go for a transfer? Sheng Shicai no longer understands that this is a conspiracy of the Chinese Red Party, so he really doesn't need to be the king of Xinjiang.

Sheng Shicai immediately found Wang Ming and Deng Fa, the heads of Xinjiang.

Deng Fa, like Xiang Ying, is one of the few leaders of the Red Party who was really born in the proletariat, he was in charge of the work in western Fujian, vigorously carried out the anti-rebellion work and made many wrong decisions, and because of this has been criticized by people since then, he turned to support Chairman Mao at the Zunyi Conference, and then was sent to the Soviet Union to study, after studying has been the work of the Eighth Route Army Office in Xinjiang, it is worth mentioning that Deng Fa also served as the security bureau in the early days of Jinggangshan, and was one of the founders of the security bureau.

Deng Fa knew where these people came from, so he said to Sheng Shicai with a smile, "Chairman Sheng, these people are indeed the people we want in Yan'an, you should also know it, Germany annexed the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia, and it is very chaotic now." Many people don't have jobs, and we, Yan'an, got a lot of machinery and equipment from Taiyuan in the previous battle, and now there are a lot of machinery and equipment that no one will use. I saw if I could find some people there, but I didn't expect that the German government and the Czechoslovak government were very supportive of this matter, not only willing to help us transport these people, but also provided us with a lot of international help. After all, the German government is not at ease with these people who oppose it. ”

Sheng Shicai and Wang Ming both widened their eyes, looking at Deng Fa who opened his eyes and said nonsense, Wang Ming swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why don't I know?" How many people are there? ”

Deng Fa said with a haha: "Because there are family members." It's not much, it's only five or six thousand, no, in order to facilitate transportation, there will be 50 planes stationed in our Urumqi and Yan'an, half of each of the two places, one plane can only transport 32 people, and 25 planes is 800 people. It will take about eight or nine days. When the time comes, these planes will fly back to Europe. In terms of airport support, we have to rely on Chairman Sheng a lot. But I don't know if there will be anything after that. ”

Sheng Shicai's first reaction was that these people must not be workers and family members. Presumably military personnel. But if it was military aid from the Soviet Union, I should have known about it. Sheng Shicai, who couldn't figure it out, was unwilling to delve into this issue, since he knew that this was the person Yan'an wanted, he didn't care, at this time, in order to curry favor with the Soviet Union, he adhered to the principle of asking the Soviet Union for foreign affairs and Yan'an for internal affairs. Yan'an said that as long as it does not interfere with his interests, he will be fine. He discussed some details of the airport with Deng Fa.

When the first plane from Afghanistan landed, Sheng Shi saw women and children disembarking from the plane, and he was completely convinced that it was really a group of workers and their families who had fled Germany.

Wang Ming only felt that his head was not enough, what was Yan'an doing recruiting so many foreign workers? These people are all from capitalist countries. Do they have other intentions? Did the USSR know about their arrival? Is it really possible for such an international event not to go through the USSR? No way!! This must be that person who wants to dilute the situation within our party through these people, and if these people are not good, there will be a large number of Trotskyists! That's right, Trotsky!! As soon as the Fourth International was founded, so many foreigners entered Yan'an, and it is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with it. ”

Just when Wang Ming was thinking about it, he didn't notice that a car suddenly appeared on his left side, and the car crashed into Wang Ming's vehicle without hesitation, Wang Ming only felt a huge force coming, and immediately fainted, and when Wang Ming woke up again, he found that his ribs were broken four times, and he could only cultivate for a while. Wang Ming reluctantly put this matter aside for the time being, looked at the ceiling and lay down in the hospital with peace of mind, this time, he didn't have to pretend to be sick anymore.

-- Luliang Mountain

Mr. Zhu watched several blue lines constantly encircling the red line representing the Eighth Route Army, nodded and asked, "I'm afraid that the celebration wine is already being prepared in Taiyuan City now." ”

Zuo Quan said with a smile, "Under our leadership, the Japanese army has reached Xinzhou in the north and Huozhou in the south, looking at this speed, there is probably a week to reach the generation of Fenyang Xiaoyi, and this is also the last battlefield we have chosen." ”

Mr. Zhu gestured and said, "Where are the main forces?" ”

Zuo Quan said, "Lin Sanhu's 115th Division is now on the front line of Laiyuan, Lingqiu and Pingxingguan, where he is familiar with the terrain, and the 120th Division is deployed in Ningwu County. The 129th Division is on the front line of Niangziguan and Jingcheng. The Shanxi New Army is now on the first line of Dongyang Pass and Hongti Pass, and since the line of Jiyuan Zhongtiao Mountain in the south is still in the hands of the Nationalist Army, we have not deployed troops there. ”

Mr. Zhu looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Are you ready over there?" ”

Jiang Cheng just took a telegram handed to him by Li Qian, only to see the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and when he heard Mr. Zhu's words, he hurriedly put the telegram into his arms. By the way, Li Qian beckoned, and Li Qian in the back immediately took out a map, Jiang Cheng opened the map and said, "I have stored a large number of defensive weapons such as mines and double fast cement near several passes, and the storage points are guarded by my people, and there is nothing abnormal, as long as the pass is down, it only takes a day, and these places can be turned into a simple fortress!" In addition, in order to ensure that we can hold out under the siege of the main force of 70,000 or 80,000 Japanese troops in our preset battlefield, I have also stockpiled a large amount of supplies here and here for the construction of improvised fortifications. In the past few days, I have brought in a large amount of cement and cloth bags, which should be enough. ”

Mr. Zhu raised his head and asked, "Has Mr. Peng gone down the mountain?" ”

Zuo Quan replied, "We have arrived at Yangjiazhuang, where it will be our front-line command post." ”

Mr. Zhu dropped his pen and said, "Mr. Peng is not easy, we are only expected to concentrate 150,000 troops here, and there is no main force, Mr. Peng has to rely on these troops to hold out for half a month or even longer." ”

Li Kenong said, "In order to win, there is always some price to pay, the second stage is a bloody stage, the intelligence has reported that the devils began to massacre the people in our base area, although under our militia organization, most of the people have fled to the mountains, but after all, the people are walking slowly, most of the horses, donkeys and mules have given us support in the battle, and there are a lot of bloody cases." Half a month, as long as we get through it, as long as we get through it, as long as we get through it, the people of Shanxi will no longer have to bear the pain of being bullied by the Japanese invaders. ”

Mr. Zhu sighed, "Thanks to the people of Shanxi, an important premise for us to be able to fight like this is that several main forces outside can quickly return to help, which is the common people with carts and horses to build a faster passage for us than the devil's car!" ”

-- Yangjiazhuang

Mr. Peng sat down with a water glass, and glanced at the commanders who were preparing to fight this arduous defensive battle - Xiao Jinguang, Huang Kecheng, Yang Zhicheng, Cao Lihuai and others who came here for a meeting.

Mr. Peng said: "Where have the various units arrived? Did Xiaoyi and Fenyang fight down? The local people have migrated, right? Wait for the big war together, but don't harm the people. ”

Xiao Jinguang replied, "It's been defeated, but it's not so much a fight, it's better to say that the devils have given up these two counties, and all the Japanese puppet personnel have broken through in a group, it seems that the devils are also ready to use this place as a battlefield." The terrain here is a plain semi-surrounded by mountains, and the Tongpu line is only forty or fifty miles away from us, but we have only picked up a little bit of the railway from Pingyao to Jiexiu, and the one from Qi County to Pingyao has also been destroyed by fifty percent, and it would be good for the Japanese army to repair it to Qi County within half a month, and it is impossible for the materials to be transported to Jiexiu by rail. ”

Mr. Peng snorted, "Then let him recover, there is really no logistics, and the devils don't dare to send the main force over, now the devils come to book the battlefield There are still four or five days to do, our task is to make every effort to turn the east to Fenyang, Xiaoyi, west to Nanyang Township and Yangjiazhuang during this period of time, all into a systematic military fortress, the materials are at the point described on this piece of paper, you immediately send it to the various teams, it is now nine 50 in the morning, I ask that within 48 hours, the fortifications will be initially formed, within 72 hours, The fortifications are united, and when the Japanese vanguard arrives, our fortifications will reach the predetermined goal, understand? ”

Everyone stood up and shouted, "Mission Guaranteed!" ”

"Adjournment!" (To be continued.) )
