Early in the morning, Lixian. Political Commissar Cheng hurried to the headquarters, saw that the soldiers had already packed their bags, and said with a smile: "Yo, they're all here, I'm still early!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was standing by the pool in the corner of the wall to rinse his mouth, looked up and said, "Well, it's quite early!" Lao Cheng, you go to the living room to rest first, there are tea leaves and boiling water, and you want to drink tea and make it yourself. If you're hungry, let the pillar buy you some donkey meat and burn it. ”

Political Commissar Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you going to leave now?" ”

Zheng Weiguo explained: "The cavalry company asked to yo the horse first, saying that it was easy to cause injury to the war horse if it was inactive. ”

Commissar Cheng said, "Oh, that's right. Okay, then I'll go to the war room and look at the information first. ”

The pillar said, "Do you want the donkey meat to be burned?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng waved his hand and smiled: "That thing is too greasy, you can help me buy two baked cakes!" ”

After looking around in the war room for a while, Chief of Staff Zhou also came over. When he saw that Political Commissar Cheng was also there, he said in surprise: "Old Cheng, why are you here so early?" What information to look for? ”

Political Commissar Cheng said: "Isn't this going to Renqiu? I just thought about getting a feel for the situation first. However, there is not much information about the 1st Guerrilla Division and the Renqiu area! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded and said, "Well, it's not much." Because the Command's document encryption and classification work has not yet been completed, most of the documents and investigation reports have been locked up for security reasons. In this way, I know the general situation, and if you want to know what the Tao is, just ask me. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said: "I want to know the distribution of troops in and around Renqiu, as well as the basic information of the 1st Guerrilla Division. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "It's not difficult, because the commander is going to Renqiu." Our staff has already done an investigation in advance. As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of the area and explained it by drawing on it.

The two were chatting energetically, and the pillar came back with a few pieces of baked cakes. Zheng Weiguo followed behind, holding a fire he had just bought. He insists on exercising every day and consumes more Lucarrido, so he likes this kind of high-calorie food. Political Commissar Cheng and Chief of Staff Zhou are on the contrary, and have a tendency to develop towards low-carbon people.

Chief of Staff Zhou saw Zheng Weiguo coming in, and hurriedly said, "Commander, Lao Cheng wants to know about Gao Shuncheng's situation." Didn't you see him last time you came to Jizhong? Tell us about it! ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Hmm." I really saw it when I hit the river. ”

Before that attack on the river. The generals of the various ministries met together. Gao Shuncheng came the latest, and the style was also the most sufficient. The entourage shouted outside the door that Master Gao had arrived, and Gao Shuncheng came in as soon as he lifted the curtain of the door, without even shouting a report. He was dressed in a yellow tweed. Foot boots. Hold a horsewhip in your right hand. Looking forward to it, it seems very meaningful.

This dress is in the middle of the Hebei guerrilla army's group of dirt roads, and it really looks like a camel has come out of a flock. He saw Meng Qingshan standing in front of the table. Hurriedly threw the horsewhip to the entourage, turned around and arched: "Brother Meng, the junior brother is late." Damn, shit! ”

Zheng Weiguo imitated the scene for them as he spoke, and Political Commissar Cheng and Chief of Staff Zhou couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "According to the information we have so far, this unit is relatively brave in combat, but it is not good at organizational discipline. In particular, Gao Shun himself smoked white noodles (morphine), and tolerated and connived at his old subordinates, if he didn't reorganize it, something would happen sooner or later. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said: "Well, the generals from the green forest are like this, they like to be in the limelight, but they don't obey discipline. However, such troops are often able to fight, and they belong to the type of cowhide coaxing, with two sharp ends. It seems that we still have to do more ideological work on this trip. Only when he, the division commander, has figured it out, can the following work be done. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "This person's thinking is not easy to do! My suggestion is to find a way to transfer him out of his original unit, so that the integration can be done. ”

Political Commissar Cheng shook his head and said: "We should not take this step unless we have to, so as not to dampen the enthusiasm of the cadres and fighters of the 1st Guerrilla Division." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Another problem is Gao Ningzi of their division, this guy is a real bandit, killing people and setting fires, raping and plundering, doing all kinds of evil, and he still does not change his bandit nature after being absorbed. ”

Political Commissar Cheng frowned and said, "Gao Ningzi? ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, he is Gao Shuncheng's nephew, so it's not easy to deal with." ”

According to the old man in Jizhong, although Gao Shuncheng worked as a salt seller and occasionally did some business without capital, he strictly abided by the precept that rabbits do not eat grass by the nest. Therefore, his hometown and neighbors do not have much ill feelings towards him. Gao Ningzi is different, lawless, one side of the disaster, and the locals hate him to the core.

Even after being absorbed by the Hebei guerrilla army, this guy still often made trouble, and openly opposed the "three major disciplines and eight points of attention" in the army, and even threatened: "Whoever dares to come to me to talk about those toys, I will shoot him with a black gun." ”

As a matter of fact, he also took the lead in opposing the reorganization of the military region this time, and he openly declared on many occasions that he would not do it if he wanted to be transferred. Therefore, the military region can no longer bear this guy. Just wait for a suitable opportunity to prepare to take it down.

Political Commissar Cheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect the problem to be so serious. ”

Zheng Weiguo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So our trip is a big task!" Whether you can subdue Gao Shuncheng and become this wild dragon depends on your three-inch tongue. ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled and said, "Gao Shuncheng's essence is not bad, and he should be able to transform it." Gao Ningzi, it's better to clear out the troops when the time comes. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, I also have this intention." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, filling their stomachs by the way. The cavalry company outside had almost slipped away and began to assemble at the gate. The company had a total of 123 people, 262 horses, 6 general-purpose machine guns, 6 60 guns, 80 44-type carbines, 24 MP38 submachine guns, and 30 pistols. There is also a communications group with a portable radio station.

Company commander Zhao Baoning is Zheng Weiguo's old subordinate who raised troops in Ping'an County, and with the expansion of the troops, this original recruit also began to stand out. This is the fact that he was able to become the commander's personal company commander this time.

Company Commander Zhao handed over the reins to the guards, and ran over with a kick, a kick, a kick. Salute: "Report, the first company of the first battalion of the tenth cavalry regiment is ready to go, please instruct!" ”

Zheng Weiguo glanced at Political Commissar Cheng and said, "Let's go on the road!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

The group stepped onto their horses and galloped quickly north. According to the plan, they will first rush to Gaoyang County in the north, and then go east to Renqiu.

It is less than 60 miles from Lixian to Gaoyang. Zheng Huzi and they have one person and two horses. It took less than two hours to arrive. This is still a case of sympathizing with horsepower and not driving with full strength, otherwise you can run faster.

Company Commander Zhao looked in the direction of Gaoyang City and asked, "Commander, the road ahead is the intersection to Gaoyang." Shall we go into the city to rest? ”

Zheng Weiguo said to Political Commissar Cheng: "Old Cheng. What do you see? ”

Political Commissar Cheng thought for a moment. said: "Why don't we go to Renqiu first, and then take a look at the first division when we come back?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, then we won't go into the city." Hurry up and rush to have lunch in Renqiu County. ”

Company Commander Zhao hurriedly shouted: "The intersection ahead is to the right, run forward!" ”

――――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line--------------

Zheng Weiguo The day before they set off, Baoding, Hebei, Ningcui Building. This is a teahouse. Because of the hot weather, there were many guests coming and going, and Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were busy sweating profusely. On the second floor, in a window position, sat two men in top hats and long coats. They looked out at the street, pointing and talking about something, as if they were judging the customs of the street. Of course, if you can listen closely, you will know that the Tao is not the same thing at all.

"Xiao Duan, why do you need to use emergency contact? Did you know that this is dangerous? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation. The middle-aged man looked smiling, but his words were very harsh.

The young man named Xiao Duan pointed to a grocery store on the opposite street, but said, "Secretary Qu, I found a suspicious person at the Japanese headquarters. This person speaks in a Chinese language, like Ren Qiu or Hejian, and I suspect that he is a traitor or a traitor. ”

Secretary Qu's arm trembled slightly, but he quickly covered it up, smiled and said, "Do you remember the appearance of that person?" ”

Xiao Duan said a little proudly: "I secretly took a photo." ”

Secretary Qu was taken aback, subconsciously glanced around, and said, "How did you get it?" ”

Xiao Duan explained, "It was the Japanese who took the pictures themselves, and I asked the owner of the photo studio to wash an extra photo. ”

Secretary Qu said with some dissatisfaction: "You are too careless! What if someone notices? ”

Xiao Duan smiled and said, "No, that boss is actually my brother-in-law." ”

Secretary Qu smiled slightly and said, "Well, it's pretty much the same!" However, it is necessary to be more cautious in the future. After all, we are now active in the heart of the enemy......"

Halfway through his words, Secretary Qu keenly noticed that several plainclothes detectives had gone upstairs and were busy talking about other things. Xiao Duan also picked up the conversation with meaning. A few detectives walked around the upstairs and found nothing unusual, so they took a few pieces of ocean and wandered elsewhere.

Secretary Qu put the photo in his close-fitting pocket and hurried back to a contact point. It didn't take long for several young people to rush over and ask, "Secretary Qu, what's going on?" ”

"Do you know this person?" Secretary Qu pointed to a person in the photo and said.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, and one of them exclaimed, "Isn't this Li Ergou from Renqiu County?" How to take a photo with Japanese people! ”

Secretary Qu hurriedly asked, "What is the identity of this Li Ergou you are talking about?" ”

The man said, "A lazy guy." usually relies on helping others and being a dog leg or something, so everyone calls him Li Ergou, but I don't remember his real name. Secretary Qu, don't worry, even if this kind of person becomes a traitor, it is a waste of food for the Japanese. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, but Secretary Qu didn't laugh, but frowned.

A young man saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Secretary Qu, is there anything inappropriate?" ”

Secretary Qu nodded, and said with a heavy face: "Do you know who the Japanese next to Li Ergou is?" ”

The young men looked at it carefully, shook their heads one after another, and said, "A lieutenant, there are too many such guys in Baoding City. ”

Secretary Qu said: "I'm referring to the plainclothes next to him - he is Komatsu Ichiro, the head of the Japanese military secret service in Baoding City. ”

Everyone gasped when they heard this. They are all extremely smart people, and they quickly realized the seriousness of the problem - even if a person like Li Ergou becomes a traitor, he is still a ninth-rate person, how can he be qualified to take a photo with the head of the secret service? Unless there is someone behind him, and the status is extremely high.

Secretary Qu said in a deep voice: "I think you all know the seriousness of the matter. Judging from the time, this person is likely to be still in Baoding, do you have a way to find him? ”

Everyone felt very tricky when they heard it. After all, Baoding is a medium-sized city with a population of more than 100,000, and it is still under the control of the enemy, so how easy is it to find someone?

The young man who recognized Li Ergou before suddenly said, "I have a way!" Li Ergou is a bad gambler, as long as he is still in Baoding, let's go to the casino to find it! ”

Secretary Qu thought about it, and there seemed to be no better way, so he mobilized all the manpower and began to search the casinos in Baoding City.

Everyone was busy from afternoon to evening, and from night to dawn, but they never found the target. Just when everyone was about to lose confidence, one of the action team members unexpectedly heard that someone had been locked up in a dark room by the casino people. So they hurriedly sent someone to take a look, and sure enough, the guy who only had half a life left was Li Ergou they had been looking for for a long time.

"Who are you? Do you know who Lu Dao is? Let Lao Tzu go, otherwise Komatsu Taijun won't be able to spare you! Hmmm......"

Li Ergou was quite arrogant at first, but when the barrel of a gun reached into his mouth, he immediately quieted down.

"The opportunity is only given to you once, and if you dare to tell a lie, you will be hit in the head. Tell me, who are you connecting! ”

……

After some interrogation, the underground party quickly got what they wanted. However, there was no excitement on everyone's faces.

Secretary Qu was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted loudly: "Quick, Xiao Huang, immediately spread the news outside the city, and ask the comrades at the liaison station to report immediately!" ”

Fortunately, the road was safe, and there were no problems with the liaison station outside the city, and the information quickly spread to the general headquarters of Lixian County.

"What! Gao Shuncheng wants to rebel? Chief of Staff Zhou was so frightened that his face turned white, and he hurriedly said, "Commander, where are they?" Hurry up, get in touch with them now! ”

"Report, Chief of Staff, there was no response to the radio call, probably on the march!" (To be continued......)
