"Really?" Liang boldly sneered, pouted to both sides, and said, "You might as well take a look at both sides first." ”

Liu Changqing turned his head to look at both sides of the valley a little indifferently, and suddenly changed his face at a glance, and dared to speak, a large number of figures had already appeared on the ridges on both sides of the valley, and machine guns had been set up on several commanding heights, Liu Changqing estimated, not to mention that there were five or six hundred people, and there was a battalion

Although Liu Changqing's face changed, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, and said coldly: "Is this planning to take the initiative to provoke friction, sir?" ”

"My good man, this is really a human mouth with two skins, both positive and negative." Liang boldly said, "You only said that it was the national army, but you refused to report the number, who knows if you are true or false?" Even if it is really a national army, you still run to our defense area coldly, and still point your guns at friendly troops, how dare you say that we take the initiative to provoke friction?

Liu Changqing said: "We said it a long time ago, just passing by, passing by"

Liu Daring also said: "You said that the road is the road, and I also said that you took the opportunity to spy on it." ”

At this time, the Japanese offensive on the frontal battlefield gradually stopped, except for Okamura Ninji's Army Group was still on the offensive against Xue Yue's Ninth Theater, and the Japanese army took the initiative to turn to the defense in all other directions.

Local generals like Shi Yousan, Sun Liangcheng, and Pang Bingxun, who had fought with Little Japan in Shandong and Henan, all took their troops to take refuge in Little Japan one after another, and whether you call them traitors or call them selfish, war is like this, much more cruel and ugly than imagined.

Although the Central Army rarely defected to the enemy, it also shifted its main focus to the level of anti-communism, and there were already signs of anti-communism in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, the Luzhong base area, and southern Anhui, and Qin Qirong, Zhang Yinwu, and other units launched attacks on the militia units and rear organs of the Eighth Route Army, killing more than 1,000 people

It is difficult to say that these incidents were not instigated by Chairman Chiang, or at least they were acquiesced in by him.

After reading Mao Zedong's "Qinyuan Spring, Changsha", Chairman Chiang once said to Chen Cheng with emotion, that he could write "Ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs?" Such a person is definitely a person with the world in mind, such a person is like Liu Bei, there is nothing if he is not given room to play, but once he is given space and opportunities to play, he will definitely become a fierce enemy.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Chairman Chiang preferred to bear the infamy of separating land and seeking peace, and also insisted on "securing the outside world before securing the interior, and also insisting on destroying the Red Army first, because he always believed that the threat of Mao Zedong and the Red Army was greater than that of the Japanese army, and the evolution of historical facts after this also proved Chairman Chiang's political vision to a certain extent."

On the Communist side, Mao Zedong also made an important speech in Yan'an, instructing the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to respond reasonably, well-founded, and responsible, and to resolutely respond to military provocations.

In such a general climate, Li Zihan wanted to lead his troops through the defense area of the Qingyang County Guerrilla Corps of the New Fourth Army, which was indeed very easy to cause misunderstanding by others, and this was indeed not to blame Liang Daring's head.

Shu Tongwen also resolutely stood on Liang Bold's position, and said to Liu Changqing in a stern manner: "Battalion Commander Liu, please tell your regiment commander that our New Fourth Army has never fought friendly troops, as long as you report the number of your unit and show your true identity, we will naturally release you after verification, if you refuse to cooperate, then we have reason to suspect your motives, if you have to force through, I'm sorry, you can only meet with swords." ”

Liang Daring glanced back at Shu Tongwen with some surprise, and thought to himself, haven't these white-faced scholars always advocated that everything should be subordinated to the united front and everything to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War?

As for the previous instructor, the Kuomintang bullied to the head, he also insisted on tolerating, zuihou led to a brigade being disbanded, and in turn to small Japan, the instructor became irrational, the guerrillas had a few guns, but he had to go to fight the Longxugou stronghold where the small Japan was stationed, Liang Daring did not agree, and he also secretly mobilized a company to fight, but he was ambushed by Little Japan, and when Liang Daring took the main force of the guerrillas to respond, the person died early.

But the white-faced scholar who came this time seemed to be different from the previous two times.

Liu Changqing blushed and asked Liang Daying: "Sir, what do you say?" ”

Liang boldly looked at Shu Tongwen and turned around, "Didn't you hear what our instructor just said?" If you put down your weapons and cooperate with our verification, we can ⊥ you through, if you refuse to cooperate, hehe, then I'm sorry, I can only surrender your weapons if I can't say it today. ”

Shu Tongwen frowned, but did not point out Liang Dada's misinterpretation of the meaning of his words.

This is also Liang Daring's peasant cunning, Liang Daring has always been like this, just a flock of geese flew over him and he still had to pluck a few hairs down, such a group of well-equipped national troops passed through his defense area, and with ulterior motives, gave the guerrillas an excuse to do it, if Liang Daring was willing to let it go gently, then he would not be Liang Daring.

Liu Changqing said coldly: "Sir, can I regard this as your Zuihou's reply?" ”

"Nonsense." Liang Daring said impatiently, "This is our zuihou's reply. ”

(Dividing Line)

As soon as Liu Changqing came back and told Li Zihan, the spy company commander Yang Dashu immediately became angry and said angrily: "This group of mud-legged people really regard themselves as human figures, and they want us to put down our weapons for verification?" I didn't pee and take pictures myself, the little Japanese planes, artillery and tanks, didn't make us lay down our arms, with a few broken guns, they also deserved? ”

After venting a few words, Yang Dashu said to Li Zihan again: "Tuanzuo, you just give the order, let's fight"

Li Zihan set his eyes on Liu Changqing, because the time was still short, Li Zihan was not very familiar with the abilities of his two generals, but Yang Dashu was more reckless, Liu Changqing was more rational, Huang Baitao still said it, so he wanted to hear Liu Changqing's opinion, after all, only he had direct contact with the guerrillas opposite.

Liu Changqing said: "Tuanzuo, I think it is better not to fight or not to fight, the guerrillas on the opposite side not only surpass us in strength, but also quite well-equipped, just now I have seen several Czech light machine guns, and they occupy the commanding heights are also exquisite, can be a good construction of crossfire, now we are in the valley, fighting, I am afraid that we will suffer." ”

Yang Dashu said: "A few machine guns are a fart, I don't believe that a group of mud legs can turn the sky upside down." ”

Liu Changqing said: "A few machine guns are not terrible, and the group of guerrillas in front of us is actually nothing, but Company Commander Yang should not forget, the purpose of our trip is not to grab territory with the communist guerrillas in Qingyang County, but to go to Longkou County to grab Longkou County with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui Province. ”

Liu Changqing's words touched Li Zihan, and when he put his head on his military hat, he walked out from behind the boulder, and said loudly: "I'll go and meet this Liang Daring." ”

"Tuanza, I'll go with you." Yang Dashu followed and stood up.

Li Zihan hesitated slightly, quickly nodded, and then instructed Liu Changqing: "Battalion Commander Liu, when I am away, the troops are under your command, in case of an accident, don't have any scruples, resolutely call me." After speaking, Li Zihan turned around and left with Yang Dashu.
