After only a while, Ren Zhuzi ran back with a smoke, dancing and saying: "The military seat, the staff seat, really grasped the soil and fertilizer plain!" It's tied up in the compound, and everyone is watching around! ”

"It's not a monkey, what's so beautiful!" Zheng Weiguo made a joke and asked, "Which army caught it?" ”

Ren Zhuzi touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Uh, this, I forgot to ask." It's just that the female soldiers are holding it, so it should be Sister Wanchun who caught it. ”

Zheng Weiguoqi said: "Have you seen the women's soldiers?" Didn't they cooperate with the Eighth Road to fight local tyrants in northern Henan? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou patted his head and said, "Oh, I know about this, and I forgot to report it to you." It was the Eighth Road that wanted to send a team to work in eastern Henan, so it was escorted by the female soldiers, but I didn't expect to make such a big contribution! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said with a smile: "Luck is really unstoppable!" Pillar, go and call Chen Wanchun. ”

After receiving the order, Chen Wanchun quickly rushed over, saluted Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou, and said crisply: "Military seat, staff seat, Chen Wanchun was ordered to come to report!" ”

Zheng Weiguo quipped: "Yo, it's our heroine who is here!" ”

The female soldier captain was embarrassed, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't say that, I am not a hero!" "I haven't seen her for a while, Chen Wanchun is still so heroic, but she is a little more capable.

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Don't be embarrassed, Tufeiyuan was captured alive by you, and you are not considered a hero?" How many male soldiers haven't been caught! Your women's team has made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want? ”

Chen Wanchun squirmed for a while. With a red face, he said, "Military seat, counselor, can you do anything?" ”

Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Then we have to have it!" ”

Chen Wanchun was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I want a gun!" ”

Zheng Weiguoqi said: "What gun? ”

Chen Wanchun gestured with his hand and said, "It's the kind of light machine gun with a chain that the special service battalion just captured." ”

The so-called light machine gun with a bullet chain is actually a German-made MG34 general-purpose machine gun. This weapon has good firepower and is indeed a level higher than the light machine guns of this era. If the Japanese hadn't gotten a batch from Germany, and they happened to be captured by the 97th Army, they wouldn't have been found in the country at all.

Chen Wanchun was afraid that Zheng Weiguo would not agree, so he said, "Military seat." We don't want much. Just, well, ten is enough! Exchange the soil with you, you won't suffer! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Ten is not much? So be it. Later I opened a note for the armament department. I'll give you two! ”

"It's only two!" Chen Wanchun lowered her head. Looks a little unhappy.

Zheng Weiguo explained: "This general-purpose machine gun is much heavier than ordinary light machine guns, and it is not suitable for your women's army. Although you have all practiced good skills, your physical strength is worse than that of male soldiers. This time, the special service battalion seized not only general-purpose machine guns. I also got a batch of submachine guns, which are also very advanced and can be replenished to you first. ”

The submachine gun he was referring to was the German-made MP38 submachine gun. Although this weapon is a transitional product, it undoubtedly has a huge advantage over other domestic submachine guns. Moreover, MP38 is less than ten pounds, which is more suitable for people with weak physical strength.

Chen Wanchun had no choice but to agree, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart. In her opinion, the one with strong firepower is the best. Although the MP38 is also a rare weapon, it is far from the MG34.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Don't bluff your face, can the military seat still harm you?" Tell us how you managed to get to the soil and fertilizer. Tens of thousands of troops searched the net and couldn't find it, how did you find it? ”

Chen Wanchun's face flushed slightly, and she snorted and said, "We didn't look for it, he sent it to the door by himself!" ”

After escaping from the temporary command post, Tsuchihara fled east immediately, after all, he still had nearly 6,000 troops, and it would be much safer to join up with the larger force.

But what Tu Feiyuan never expected was that the entire 14th Division was attacked. They ran all the way and found a rain of bullets everywhere, and they were almost killed by indiscriminate shooting.

In desperation, he and several personal guards had to abscond in disguise. Everyone knows that Tu Feiyuan is an old spy, which is his old job, so at the beginning, several search troops were easily fooled by them.

A company of the 34th Brigade once caught them, but Tu Feiyuan was deceived by an authentic Henan dialect. It turns out that this old spy not only knows a lot of Beijing films, but also knows a lot about local customs and dialects. Not to mention the 34th Brigade and these outsiders, even the locals of eastern Henan are difficult to distinguish.

But that's where the good fortune of the soil and fertilizer ends. They were rejoicing that they had deceived the 97th Army's search, but suddenly found themselves lost.

Just when I was in a hurry, the women's team appeared. Tu Feiyuan regarded them as the field service team of the national army (that is, helping with laundry, performing theatrical programs, etc., similar to the art troupe of the Eighth Road, but with a lower status), so he wanted to catch a few "tongues". The rest of the story can be imagined, Tu Feiyuan kicked on the iron plate and made himself a prisoner.

Listening to Chen Wanchun finish telling the story, everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "This is called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them." Hey, Wanchun, how did you recognize the original fertilizer? ”

The conditions of the 97th Army are poor, and it is naturally impossible to give each search team a photo (if there is one, it would have been caught a long time ago), and it can only rely on a general description, so it is difficult to recognize Tu Feiyuan even if he stands in front of him, not to mention that this guy can also disguise himself.

Chen Wanchun shook his head and smiled: "We didn't recognize it, it was he who confessed!" ”

It turns out that the women's team hates the Japanese army the most, whether it is a devil or a puppet army, as long as they encounter it, they never leave a living mouth. This time when he caught Tu Feiyuan, he was no exception, and without saying a word, he clicked a few guards of Tu Feiyuan. When it was Tu Feiyuan's turn, this guy was frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy. The female soldiers brought it back for the sake of a big fish. Otherwise, maybe the corpse will be thrown into the Yellow River to feed the fish and shrimp.

Chief of Staff Zhou and the others were stunned for a moment. Sigh: "This luck! You can't do it without making meritorious contributions! ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Luck is also part of strength!" Okay, Wanchun, you go back first. The Chief of Staff and I also arranged for the transfer of troops. ”

Chen Wanchun hurriedly said: "Junzuo, are you going back to the base area?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, and then advised: "Don't spread the word for the time being!" ”

The ground in eastern Henan can no longer stay, and if they take a whole division of the Japanese army, they will definitely retaliate frantically. It's a flat river here, and there's no place to hide from planes, so Zheng Weiguo doesn't want to stay here and be bombed.

It is much stronger to return to northern Henan, at least you can find help from Balu, so Zheng Weiguo decided to return to the north bank overnight. Because the withdrawal was hasty. Many battlefields have not had time to be cleared. Some heavy weapons had to be dug and buried because they could not be carried in time. It's a pity, but I can't take care of it, but as long as I catch the Germans. Zheng Huzi, who has three melons and two dates, really doesn't pay attention to it.

Say it, do it. In the evening of the same day, all units of the 97th Army withdrew to the north bank of the Yellow River. Anyway, now the Yellow River is out of flow. You don't have to take a ferry, you don't have to walk on a pontoon, it's very safe.

They withdrew. The only ones who remained on the South Bank were the Underground Party. There is no way to do this, someone has to do the work in the occupied area! Zheng Weiguo couldn't help them too much, so he allocated them a batch of captured Japanese weapons, hoping that the spark could start a prairie fire!

Back on the north bank, Zheng Weiguo asked the communications battalion to contact the Military Commission directly and reported the news of the arrest of Tufeiyuan overnight. This old devil Zheng Weiguo didn't plan to stay, although he knew a lot of information, but relatively speaking, it was still cost-effective to sell it to Chang Kaishen. The first lieutenant general division commander to be captured alive since the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War! Such a good gimmick will definitely sell for a good price.

Brigadier Chen said regretfully: "Lao Zheng, it's a pity that your identity can't be separated. Otherwise, how good it would be to take this old guy to Yan'an for public trial! ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said with a smile: "What a fart, isn't that hatred for Yan'an?" Low-key is king, do you understand! ”

Brigadier Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "We're not afraid of letting the devils worry about it." Besides, your 97th Army is in the limelight everywhere, and you will go wherever Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan are lively, when did you keep a low profile? ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "Do you think I am willing, if there is a choice, I would rather have a lot of money." ”

Brigadier Chen shook his head and said, "I don't believe it!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "You don't believe it!" After I went back on this trip, I built a base with peace of mind, recuperated and recuperated, trained the soldiers, and when the soldiers were trained, I would go out of the mountains to communicate with the devils. ”

He did think so at the time, but he didn't expect that he would not be calm after a few days. Because Chang Kaishen saw that he would completely annihilate the 14th Division and capture Tufeiyuan alive, he decided to promote him to deputy commander-in-chief of the Jicha Theater.

(Note: In fact, the 14th Division still has a place to stay and the wounded who withdrew from the battle early, plus there are at least a few thousand of the routs who were contained after escaping, which is not a total annihilation in the real sense, but as far as the national army is concerned, it is even so.) ）

This news immediately shocked Zheng Weiguo into a daze. Chief of Staff Zhou quipped: "Congratulations, military seat!" From now on, we will call you Deputy Commander-in-Chief! ”

Zheng Weiguo grinned happily. It's not that he wants to be promoted, but this position allows the 97th Army to justifiably command and even annex the local armed forces in Hebei Province and Chahar Province. This is undoubtedly of great significance for the integration of anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines.

As soon as Brigade Commander Chen thought that he was a brigade commander, he immediately became unbalanced, and shouted blindly: "Zheng Huzi, just like your official fan, hurry up and bring the red envelope." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Cripple Chen, you don't come to this set." We're your chief now, and you still don't salute when you see your chief? Be careful to give your little shoes to wear! ”

Brigade Commander Chen said triumphantly: "We are the people's army, and we only listen to the orders of the leaders of the Eighth Route Army and the 129th Division, and you can't control my head." ”

Zheng Weiguo snorted, too lazy to pay attention to him. Although this is true, he only dares to hide in the house and make jokes, and if he really wants to shout out, a hat that destroys the united front will kill people.

The 97th Army did not stay long in northern Henan, and continued to go north after a short rest. The main reason is that this place is too poor to support such a large army as the 97th Army. If they don't leave, the landlord's surplus grain will have to be eaten up.

The journey home was not smooth, because the Japanese army transferred a garrison brigade stationed in the Pingjin area to the south and reopened the northern section of the Pinghan line. After repeated consideration, Zheng Weiguo decided to take a detour back from southern Hebei. In this way, all the way are the base areas opened up by the Eighth Route Army, which are much safer and have logistical guarantees.

As soon as I arrived in southern Hebei, I happened to bump into Peng Zhen, secretary of the North Bureau of China G, who came to inspect. Secretary Peng learned that the 97th Army had also arrived in southern Hebei, and immediately came to the door in a hurry.

Peng Zhen was not polite, and said directly: "Comrade Zheng Weiguo, I won't hide it from you, I came to you on a special trip!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "If there is anything, you can send someone to inform you, why do you have to go all the way to make a trip in person?" ”

Peng Zhen shook her head and said, "The stakes are so high, how dare you fake your hands to others?" ”

Seeing him so solemn, Zheng Weiguo also became serious and said, "Secretary Peng, just say it." As long as I can do it, I will never shirk it! (To be continued......)
