Originally, Yang Bangzi thought that the devils in the encirclement would definitely choose the northern line, because it was the closest to Laiyuan County, and the information sent by the first division also said that the devils in Laiyuan, Bauhinia Pass, and Xiaolonghua were frequently transferred, which may be related to the southward rescue of the devils who went to the horse, for this reason, Yang Bangzi also planned to transfer the 18th and 20th regiments to Wulinggen and Baishi Mountain.

Now the devil sent people to the Tang family garden to step on the spot reconnaissance, and the other directions did not find the devil's scouts to step on the spot to reconnoitre, it can only be said that the devil wants to take action against the Tang family garden, so according to this situation, Yang Bangzi decided to stay in the special training camp in Xipotai, and is also responsible for the defense of the northern front, the position of the 17th regiment remains unchanged, but a battalion is sent to Xinchengzi to strengthen the defense, in case the Japanese dog jumps over the wall to Kawaguchi Town.

The 18th Regiment and the 20th Regiment set off from Chuankou Town and went west of Yinfang Town to Qinglonggou, led by Yang Bangzi himself, and the military division headquarters also went to Qinglonggou, and the teaching brigade was responsible for the first line of Tangjia Garden.

The matter in the rear was handed over to Hong Mei and Deputy Political Commissar Gao, and Yang Bangzi also explained one thing to Deputy Political Commissar Gao, which was to withdraw the two small regiments of the former Sixth Division in the northwest of Tang County to Langjiazhuang and Hekou Town, and the troops were contained and rested, and if necessary, they could be pulled up as a new force to enter the battle.

Before breaking up, Yang Bangzi noticed that Hong Mei looked preoccupied, since the breakup of Taipingzhuang. It was separated for more than ten days. At that time, I felt that Hong Mei, who was hearty and smiling on weekdays. When I went to the military region for a meeting, why did I become absent-minded, and the boys who went to the meeting, regardless of whether it was Xiaoliangzi or the guard company, were all happy because of the merger of the 11th Division and the 6th Division, but Hong Mei looked lonely alone.

This female comrade's heart, people don't talk about the old man, it's not easy to ask, I didn't say a few words in Taipingzhuang, this rectification movement brought Hong Mei back, and everyone was busy. I didn't have time to speak, and when Yang Bangzi was about to lead the troops to the front line, I remembered that Hong Mei's state was wrong.

The troops are driven out at night, and the planes that are afraid of devils are seen during the day, and the march at night is commonplace for our Eighth Road, and it is at the door of our own house, and the big roads and small roads are all familiar, and they can be driven out dozens of miles in one night, and it is a matter of two nights and one day from the horse post to the Qinglong ditch.

Hong Mei and the others came to see them off, after Yang Bangzi finished explaining his work. felt that Hong Mei looked at him and stopped talking, and Yang Bangzi chuckled in his heart. I thought it wouldn't be that this girl was thinking about it again, so he quickly found an excuse to pull the senior deputy political commissar to the side to talk about it, he turned around and didn't see a trace of disappointment in Hong Mei's eyes.

Yang Bangzi has long strangled all the thoughts that he had moved on Hong Mei, he thinks so, he is a farmer, a farmer with a habit of being a farmer, and he has already become a relative, and he can't delay the yellow flower girl, if he is a little soft-hearted, this vine will be pinched constantly, and it will not be good if he can't hold it sooner or later.

Yang Bangzi has never been able to let go of Lianxiang's longing and guilt, in his rough heart, to be honest, he will not be tempted anymore if he comes to a fairy, he is a little unbearable to Hong Mei, but Yang Bangzi feels that he can only do this.

The 18th Regiment was also the main force with strong combat effectiveness when the 6th Division was replenished, and the 20th Regiment was newly supplemented with more than 1,000 recruits.

In the middle of the night, when the army marched to Yinfang Town, Yang Bangzi ordered to rest, eat something and drink some water, and he took a few old men to the big meadow in the northwest of the town to give the old blind men their graves.

The villagers rebuilt their homes in the town during the day, and returned to the temporary residence at the foot of the mountain at night, where our military division built a lot of shacks for the villagers, so Yang Bangzi came empty-handed and didn't bring burning paper or anything, and the town was empty at the moment, and there was no place to touch the burning paper.

Simply, Yang Bangzi asked the old cooks in charge of the regiment department for a few heterozygous nests, and one person or three of them offered to the graves of the old blind man and the shovel monkey, and also opened a pack of paper cigarettes that he was reluctant to smoke, and lit three cigarettes in front of one person's grave, and there was no wine, so he sprinkled the kettle on the ground, which was regarded as a water bar.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the grave, he lit a bag of cigarettes, chattered to himself and talked to the two, the assembly number rang, and when the time for rest came, Yang Bangzi knocked the cigarette bag and pot, got up, saluted, thought about it, bowed to the old blind man's grave, and then turned around and got on the horse to chase the troops.

In the bloody battle with the Heitian Wing, more than 2,000 commanders and fighters of the 20th Regiment were sacrificed in each unit, mainly buried in three places, the one on the Xingshutai and the one on the platform of the Heiyaogou, and then there is Yinfang Town here, the number of people buried is the largest, there are more than 200 single graves, and a joint burial tomb, the grave of the old blind man and the shovel monkey is in the middle of the mountain, which is the land picked by Yang Stick, saying that the feng shui here is good, the halfway up the mountain can see far, and there is no shortage of water in the big meadow.

Before leaving, Yang Bangzi also said to Xiao Liangzi, saying that these two guys are now worry-free, lying here looking at the stars and sun, blowing the mountain wind, no need to shoot and rain anymore, we can't do it, we have to do it with the devil! When he lies down, he will be able to play chess and drink with the old blind man and the shovel monkey.

Xiao Liangzi doesn't like to listen to the leader say this, it's unlucky, don't look at the people of the party, not superstitious, but this doesn't sound good or pleasant, Xiao Liangzi pouted and was about to top Yang Bangzi for two sentences, suddenly remembered something, took out a handkerchief bag from his arms, handed it to Yang Bangzi, said that it was the small golden lock that was handed over to Yang Bangzi, and said that it was given by Commissar Hong.

At first glance, it is a handkerchief used by a woman, although it is not as delicate as the silk handkerchief used by the little devil officer, but as soon as I took the aroma of clam oil, it still made people's bodies hot, Yang Stick didn't open it when he took it, stuffed it into the satchel, gave the black horse under his crotch a whip, and went to chase the troops at a gallop.

Three days later, at the headquarters in Qinglonggou, Yang Bangzi received a telegram from the Political Department of the Military Region, which said that the political commissar of the 11th Division, Hongmei, should be transferred and asked to go to Yan'an to participate in the training course for senior political work cadres, and the political commissar of the 11th Division was temporarily represented by Yang Bangzi.

This order is a bit unexpected, Yang Bangzi pinched the telegram and was stunned for a long time, only to remember the handkerchief bag that Hong Mei asked Xiao Jinsuo to transfer to him, hurriedly found the shoulder bag, turned out the handkerchief bag with fragrance, opened it and saw that it was a boxy letter, as well as two silver dollars and a pack of cigarettes.

In this letter, Hong Mei only wrote a few words, saying that she was thinking about going to the old time, and decided to apply to the military region to transfer from the 11th Division, after all, she and Yang Bangzi are not good at work, she is not good at military affairs, so she wants to go to Yan'an for further study, and later engage in political work, and wrote a sentence at the end of the letter: "This way is far away, and I hope you cherish it." ”

Yang Bangzi also knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, he thought that he would have to wait until the merger of the two divisions was almost over, and Hong Mei might have to leave after the New Year, but he didn't expect to come so quickly, Kawaguchi Town Zhenkou was the last goodbye, at that time, he saw that Hong Mei had something to say, but Yang Bangzi dodged it, now think about it, he shouldn't hide!

Melancholy to melancholy, loss to loss, how to say that Hong Mei is leaving, it is quite empty in my heart, Yang Bangzi's face sank for two days in a row, and it was better to wait until the war started.

After Hong Mei went to Fuping, a group of cadres from Jinchaji and Jinchaji were transferred to Yan'an to participate in the political work training class.

The training course lasted for three months, and after the end of the course, most of the people went back and forth from where, only a few were left to work in Yan'an, Hong Mei was left in the social department of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, and in the autumn of 44, Hong Mei agreed to a marriage proposal from a central chief and married.

After marriage, Hong Mei was transferred to the core position of our party, working in the confidential office, Yang Bangzi knew that the news of Hong Mei's marriage had arrived after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he led his troops to the northeast through Chahar and Rehe, and met several old comrades-in-arms of the first division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, one of whom was also transferred to participate in the training course for political work cadres in the same period as Hong Mei, and also joked with Hong Damei and Yang Bangzi of the 11th Division, and Yang Bangzi only then knew that Hong Mei was married.

One worked in the central government, the other went to the Northeast, and the two never met again for nearly 20 years, but later there was another story, which will not be said here.

After Yang Bangzi led the 20th and 18th regiments to Qinglonggou, he immediately sent a battalion to advance in the direction of Shuibao Township, and together with the guerrilla brigades in that area, he was responsible for guarding the enemy at Lingqiu and Laiyuan, and sent a small force to guard behind the teaching brigade along the kilometer stretching from Tangjiayuan to Shuibao Township.

As soon as the troops were all deployed and in place, the battle began! But it is not the Tang Family Garden that Yang Bangzi expected, but the defense area of the 17th Regiment, Xinchengzi Village! Liu Da Ass said eagerly on the radio that the devil's attack force was about 1,000 people, and under the cover of planes and artillery, they were attacking Xinchengzi on the front line!
