After the handover of the materials was completed, the cavalry company escorted Wang Da and this batch of materials to the headquarters of the 129th Division. This road is not too peaceful, and bandits, routs and other things often rob the road here. However, Wang Da and the others did not encounter any danger along the way. It is estimated that the bandits saw the cavalry and did not dare to make a mistake.

Wang Da was worried all the way, and he was relieved when he was about to arrive at the division headquarters. As soon as he turned around, he found that Company Commander Wu had a tiger face, and he seemed to be a little unhappy.

Seeing that the task was almost completed, Wang Da was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to quip: "Company Commander Wu, didn't you meet bandits on the road, and you feel like you ran away in vain?" ”

Company Commander Wu looked depressed and said, "It's not for this!" He sighed and continued, "I just feel a little ashamed!" ”

Wang Da was stunned, and the second monk was confused, and he didn't understand what Lian Commander Wu meant.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Company Commander Wu explained, "What kind of unit are we?" Main! We have always given our brother troops support weapons, when did we need other people's support? ”

Wang Da said: "You don't think right! The weapons given to us by the security team are for us to fight devils, this is to look down on us! ”

Company Commander Wu became even more depressed when he heard the security regiment, and said: "Speaking of the security regiment, my heart is even more angry. What kind of troops is that? In Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, I can go up with a platoon to disarm them. It's good now, we still need someone to help. ”

Wang Da said with a smile: "The security regiment of Ping'an County is different from that of Hubei, Henan and Anhui. If you are not convinced, next time you will have a big victory in Erlongshan, and you will also send dozens of carts of supplies to others! ”

Company Commander Wu thought for a while, felt unlikely, and felt a little frustrated in his heart, and said, "You said that they used less than one regiment of troops to annihilate nearly 800 devils?" ”

Wang Da nodded and said, "That's right! Awesome, right? Don't say that you have a company, even if the cavalry battalion goes up together, I'm afraid you won't be able to destroy so many devils, right? ”

Company Commander Wu was a little puzzled and a little unconvinced, and said, "I don't think their guard platoon is any better than ours, why is it so powerful?" Lao Wang, you have been with them for so long, why are they so powerful? ”

Wang Da said: "Hey! The guard platoon is indeed very average in terms of horseback riding, and it is even inferior to you. But they marched and camped and set up sentry guards, which was not something that ordinary armies could do. But if you ask me what I'm for, I can't answer. You know the Tao, and I don't understand military affairs, how can I understand this? ”

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the defense area of the troops directly under the division headquarters, and from time to time they could see the nearby sentries on guard. Wang Da said happily: "Ha! It's almost there, so I'm not going to talk to you! ”

Company Commander Wu glanced at the entrance of the village, and suddenly said in surprise: "Lao Wang, look? ”

Wang Da muttered, "What's there to see? Having said that, he still stood up and looked towards the entrance of the village, only to see a large group of people standing in front of him.

When he looked more closely, he was so startled that he almost fell out of the carriage. It turned out that Division Commander Liu, Political Commissar Zhang, Chief of Staff Ni and other leaders were also in the crowd.

Wang Da has been in the party for many years and has been in the army for a while, but he has never been greeted with such a high standard. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward to salute, and said, "Report to the division commander, political commissar, the materials donated by the Ping'an County Anti-Japanese Security Corps have been delivered safely, please instruct." ”

To say that although this batch of materials is very important, it cannot afford to be dispatched by so many leaders. They're actually more interested in the thing itself. In the words of Deputy Director Song of the Political Department, who gave such a big gift for what reason?

Master Liu smiled and said, "Okay, you're a Wang Dayo!" Did you add an extra zero to the list of supplies? If you dare to tease this master, be careful to close your confinement! ”

Wang Da was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "How can it!" The supplies are all on the carriage behind, please ask the division commander to send someone to check it. ”

Company Commander Wu of the cavalry company also stepped forward quickly and saluted, saying, "Chiefs, the escort mission of the cavalry company has been completed, please return to the camp!" ”

Master Liu is notoriously good-natured, and said: "The task is well accomplished!" Go ahead! ”

Political Commissar Zhang was a little puzzled and said, "This Xiao Wu seems to be in a bad mood? ”

Wang Da said with a smile: "Company Commander Wu heard that a security group sent us so many supplies, and he felt a little unconvinced, and felt that he was compared to others!" ”

The crowd laughed when they heard it. Master Liu said: "It's a good thing to be unconvinced, this momentum is hard to get!" ”

Political Commissar Zhang also smiled: "Yes, the soldier should be a little arrogant!" ”

While talking and laughing, the materials have been counted, and they are exactly as on the list.

Although the chiefs had seen the list before, they were surprised to see so many seizures at once. During this period, although the Eighth Route Army won few battles, it did not capture much. In order to find out the situation, they called Wang Da and a few others to the division headquarters and came to the three-hall interrogation.

Wang Da first reported what he knew to the chief. Several other comrades also added some of their own observations.

After listening to everyone's speeches, Senior Commander Liu said: "Comrade Wang Da, after hearing you say so much, I have three doubts. First, I think everyone knows what kind of army the Kuomintang security regiment is. Why does this Ping'an County Security Regiment have such strong combat effectiveness? Second, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it is very difficult to completely annihilate the Japanese army brigade of nearly 800 people, how did the security regiment with less than 1,000 people do it? Third, who is Zheng Weiguo, and why is he willing to send such a large batch of supplies to us, but he refuses to join the Eighth Route Army? ”

Wang Da thought for a while and said, "Division commander, I have seen the drills and training of the Ping'an County Security Corps. Their mental outlook and military quality are indeed extraordinary, far from being comparable to ordinary Kuomintang troops, and in some respects they are even stronger than our army. Its military regulations and decrees are also completely different from those of the Kuomintang army, but they are somewhat similar to those of our army. According to Regiment Commander Zheng Weiguo, they are imitations of our army, and it can be seen that he is very familiar with our army. ”

He paused, and then said: "I didn't ask about the specific circumstances of the victory in Erlong Mountain, but Commander Zheng wrote me a booklet of new tactics overnight. ”

As he spoke, he took out the booklet, handed it to the division commander, and continued: "As for the third point, Commander Zheng did not say that he refused to join the Eighth Route Army, but only asked to send personnel over first. Is he worried that his subordinates will be difficult to adapt to, and he wants to come naturally? ”

Chief of Staff Ni said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, I think this Zheng Weiguo is very likely to be a secret party member who we broke into the Kuomintang." In this way, a lot of things can be explained. ”

Wang Da was puzzled: "If he is really an underground party member, why doesn't he reveal his identity to me?" ”

Chief of Staff Ni had already squeezed over to read the pamphlet with Division Commander Liu, and said, "I don't know what to do, I have to ask Political Commissar Zhang." ”

Political Commissar Zhang couldn't figure it out, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what to do." Secret party members have their own special tasks, and perhaps he cannot disclose his identity for the time being. The comrades on the hidden front are all led by Comrade Kenong, and this matter is too strange, so I suggest that I inform Comrade Kenong. ”

Division Commander Liu nodded, and said with a smile: "Anyway, this Zheng Weiguo is very friendly to our Eighth Route Army. Being able to come up with such a large batch of materials to support us shows that Zheng Tuan is not only extraordinary, but also very open-minded. It's a great thing to have such a strong ally! ”

Political Commissar Zhang was also happy and said: "President Chen of the hospital got so many medicines at once, and he was so happy that he couldn't walk steadily, and he fell a big heel at the gate of the hospital. ”

Everyone laughed when they thought of Dean Chen's funny appearance, but after laughing, they all felt a little sad. Although the 129th Division won several battles one after another during this period, many wounded died because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine.

Seeing that everyone was a little sad, Political Commissar Zhang hurriedly diverted the topic and said to Wang Da: "Comrade Wang Da, you should send personnel to Ping'an County as soon as possible, and strive to draw this heroic army into the revolutionary camp as soon as possible." ”

Wang Da was a little happy and said, "Is it still up to me to lead the team?" ”

The chiefs laughed and said, "This depends on your performance!" ”

The leaders thought that it was only a matter of time before Zheng Weiguo's headquarters joined the Eighth Route Army, but they didn't expect to get the news that Zheng Weiguo's headquarters was incorporated into the Ninth Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army by the Second World War Zone only two days later.

Wang Da said angrily: "How is this! Why did this Zheng Weiguo suddenly change his hexagram! ”

Senior Commander Liu was unhappy and said, "I called you here to analyze the reason, what's the use of you just complaining?" ”

Wang Da thought for a while, and said with a sad face: "Teacher, I don't understand what's going on!" Could it be that most of the security corps are more inclined to Yan Xishan's side? ”

Political Commissar Zhang sighed and said, "It's very likely, that's why Zheng Weiguo asked us to send cadres to support him before." ”

Wang Da was anxious and said, "Political commissar, what should I do now?" Are the cadres and instructors who are ready to be sent or not? ”

Political Commissar Zhang thought for a moment and said: "I think it is still necessary to send it, firstly, because you have negotiated it before, and secondly, we can also go and find out the situation." With such a security regiment that can fight, we can't be ignorant, right? Commander, what do you think? ”

Division Commander Liu nodded and said, "Opponent, as long as they don't refuse, we still have to send personnel." Even if such a force cannot be drawn into our camp, it cannot push them to the side of the Kuomintang. ”

As he was talking, Chief of Staff Ni suddenly walked in. He looked angry and said, "Cough, what a fucking bad luck, the security regiment of Ping'an County was taken away by that old thing Yan Laoxi'er!" ”

Senior Commander Liu frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Chief of Staff Ni shook a piece of paper and said, "That stupid boy of Zheng Weiguo went to reinforce Xinkou with the main force!" Hey, I bet that as long as I go, I will definitely be dragged by Yan Laoxi'er to be cannon fodder! ”

Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Zhang were taken aback when they heard this, and said, "When is it?" ”

Chief of Staff Ni was even more angry and said: "The comrades in charge of liaison in Ping'an County are so irresponsible that they have been gone for a day before the news is delivered. What to do now, it's too late to stop it! ”

Political Commissar Zhang was puzzled: "Everyone knows that the fall of Lu Dao Xinkou is imminent, what's the use of going at this time?" ”

Division Commander Liu said: "Comrade Wang Da, you should prepare and rush to Ping'an County immediately to see what is going on there!" ”
