In a cave in Ludong, Meng Ying and Lei Ziping, who were disguised, reported the enemy's search to Li Yu and others.

Everyone was furious. Everyone endured for two days and discussed for two days. Meng Ying solemnly announced two tasks of agreement: first, to try to get the enemy to release the imprisoned masses; Second, transfer out, send a report first, and then use the second concealment point.

The night was dark. Suddenly, Meng Ying and Xue Ting led their comrades to quietly leave Li Aiguo's small hut and came to the courtyard of a traitor.

The traitor's daughter is now playing a Japanese record loudly, and the traitor's wife is shouting loudly: "You little guys, go and shoot all the people's cattle and horses for the old lady......

The old traitor ran back and forth along the eaves of the porch, this one with a "good miss" and the other with a "ancestor", running back and forth to persuade. Before his wife and daughter could stop, the door opened with a "squeak", followed by a few people who came in, saying, "Is Master Gu at home?" ”

It was Meng Ying who asked, and he said: "We are from the Sakagaki Expedition Headquarters, and we are here to visit you!" ”

Gu Han traitor saw Meng Ying's majestic gaze, and was full of suspicion: "No, don't dare!" Please, please be seated! Captain. ”

Following Meng Ying's order, Gu Han called the two little traitors and his daughter. The two little spies have already been arrested, but the daughter of this traitor is very uninteresting and is still muttering.

"Whoever dares to scream, will be executed immediately!" Xue Ting took out his pistol and solemnly declared, "We have been sent by the Fifth War Zone to carry out the mission of eliminating traitors and fighting the invaders!" ”

This pseudo-township chief, who had just been in office for five days, trembled, and the little traitors around him were no exception frightened and dumbfounded. Meng Ying put an anti-Japanese declaration written in advance, put it on the table and said, "Sign it!" ”

After signing, under the command of Meng Ying and others, the pseudo-police released all the ordinary people who broke the road. Meng Ying warned the pseudo-township chief: "We will come to visit you often!" If you dare to do evil again, you will be executed immediately! The pseudo-township chief promised repeatedly.

At this time, a comrade came in and reported to Meng Ying: "Captain! The people have gone home. ”

The 'Captain' said, "Good! We can go back to Qingdao. ”

The snow is white and the mountain wind is howling. Meng Ying and his subordinates led the battle and propaganda team on a tortuous road, advancing with difficulty......

Vast blue sky, white clouds. Wan Yi was returning to Linyi on a plane. He looked at the vast land, the majestic mountains, and the military vehicles spewing smoke, and he felt indescribable joy in his heart.

Suddenly, the plane jolted and changed course. It turned out that the escorting fighters had an air battle with the enemy aircraft. In the clouds high in the sky, three Japanese planes drilled out, and then four fighters of our army divided into two routes and pressed towards the enemy planes......

The battle in the air was raging. On the ground, the headquarters of our army on the Linyi front is studying the next battle - an attack on Tengxian, Tangtou and other places. Zhang Zizhong lifted his cuffs and looked at his watch and said, "According to the scheduled time, Wan Yi just arrived above us. ”

The chief of staff of the army lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "The newly equipped artillery regiment and the air force target guidance group that is about to arrive will all participate in this battle." Brothers, the land and air are united, and the whole front is launched, so that the enemy will not breathe! ”

Zhang Zizhong said: "Behind the enemy line, he will not be at peace, Li Yu and other comrades of the CCP are still there, and Wan Yi and others will go over!" ”

Commander Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army continued: "Good! We must unite and defeat the Japanese invaders! ”

The air battle had moved to the airspace north of Linyi, and just below this airspace, Li Yuzheng, secretary of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, led his comrades to move to the hidden ravine of the Fourth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army's Mountain Column, and was once again surrounded by a roundabout Japanese puppet army on a ridge. Li Yu personally led people to cover the sixteen wounded comrades-in-arms who fell into the enemy's encirclement.

Now, Li Yuzheng is leading his comrades-in-arms who have recovered from their wounds to hide in the small forest on the top of the mountain, studying ways to deal with the enemy. He fully understood the current situation, and he had a lot to say to his comrades, but before he could speak, the fiery son Zhu Hong burst out: "Secretary Li, there is nothing to say, fight to the last drop of blood!" ”

Li Yu's heart couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the director and sternly ordered: "Assemble the team!" ”

Li Yu's stern expression and solemn tone that he had never had before, the director of health completely understood everything, and immediately issued an order: "Assemble!" ”

Li Yu faced the comrades-in-arms lined up, saluted heartily, and did not order to "take a break". His gaze fell on the faces of his comrades one by one......

"Comrades!" After being silent for a while, Li Yu said in a tragic tone, "Everyone has seen that there are hundreds of times more enemies than us on all sides. It is important to dare to fight to the death. But is this what we are trying to do against Japan? ”

The mountain wind shook off the snow on the trees and fell on Li Yu's body. He flicked the snow and continued: "*** teaches us: 'This army has an indomitable spirit, and it will overwhelm all enemies and never be subjugated by them. ……”

The comrades-in-arms went on in unison: "'No matter what the difficult and difficult occasions, as long as there is one person, this person will continue to fight!'" After speaking, Zhu Hong took a step forward and said, "Chief! ”

Li Yu looked at the tears flashing in Zhu Hong's eyes, held his shoulder, and was about to continue, when the female warrior Zhu Hong reminded: "Chief, the mountain has started to move!" ”

Li Yu was not in a hurry, but said very sternly: "Comrades! Listen to my orders, can you do it? ”

"Yes!"

Li Yu ordered: "You give me ten grenades, and Comrade Director will lead everyone to break through to the south and find the comrades of the four detachments!" ”

"Then you-" Vermilion stomped her foot in frustration. Li Yu made a decisive gesture: "I am responsible for luring the enemy away, you obey the command of the director, this is an order!" ”

People surrounded Secretary Li at once. Vermilion said in a snarling voice, "No! I am willing to sacrifice and not carry out this order for the chief of Shandong No. 1 to take the risk himself......"

"Comrades, let's act!"

"Good! Obey! The director first handed a grenade to Li Yu's hand. Vermilion also handed over a grenade full of tears. Li Yu put ten grenades in his coat pocket and bosom, waved his hand firmly, and then drilled eastward into a field of wild grass like arrows. After Li Yumu saw the director and they withdrew and hidden, he divided the grenades into three piles in a triangle, and used the cover of barren grass to observe the enemy's situation from the cracks in the stones.

The Japanese puppet army formed a group one by one, and began to walk southward one by one. Several enemy officers in open coats were shouting with their teeth and claws.

Suddenly, the sky was like a strong wind, and I saw several Japanese planes, whistling overhead, and machine guns gurgling and reverberating in the sky. In an instant, the Japanese planes fleeing north were intercepted back by our planes, dragging thick smoke and running around, followed by a loud explosion like thunder.

The air battle stunned the enemy. Li Yu saw a Japanese officer standing in front of a dead tree halfway up the hill. He lightly raised his gun to aim......

A "gala" rolling thunder rang out from the north again. It turned out that an enemy plane was planted down the hill in the air. Then, I saw our army Yinyan swooping down at a low altitude and sweeping towards the valley in front of Secretary Li.

Smoke billowed and snow and ice flew. Pillars of fire rose on the hillside, and enemy cars in the valley were on fire......

The enemy below the mountain was in disarray, shouting in despair. Li Yu took advantage of the situation and chased in the direction of the director's retreat. When he caught up, he pointed to the east and said, "From here, from the side of the fire, rush out!" Go down! ”

A soldier immediately took it and shouted: "I'll take the head, put the chief in the middle, rush!" ”

The chief grabbed the warrior and threw himself down the mountain. Li Yu held twenty rings in his left hand, grabbed a grenade in his right hand, and waved his hand to his comrades behind him: "Down!" ”

They rushed down the hill and were just about to march north down the ditch when they found a small Japanese squad leader covered in mud and snow in front of a stone grave, and two little devil soldiers were preparing to shoot at them.

"Spread out! Kill it! Li Yu shouted.

A shuttle of bullets swept over their heads. The director, Zhu Hong and the others swooped over with one arrow-

In the smoke of the grenade explosion, Li Yu quickly circled to the back of the large stone tomb. The leader of the devil squad pounced like a devil, so that Li Yu could not shoot with a gun, so he had to flash and pull out a dagger.

Li Yu rushed and stabbed the enemy in the lower abdomen! At this time, Zhu Hong, the director and others had also packed up the two little devil soldiers. Li Yu wiped the blood on the dagger on the enemy's corpse, looked around at several comrades and said, "Search out the enemy's ammunition and other items, and withdraw!" ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yu led 36 comrades-in-arms to a deciduous arbor forest at the foot of the mountain, and he sent two soldiers to find the comrades of the fourth detachment. Following the path and turning the mountain pass, the two soldiers came to an old elm tree and found a large red rock, but the cave of the headquarters of the four detachments was already empty, and the two of them bowed their heads deeply.

The two fighters came back to tell the story, and everyone was silent for a while. Li Yu turned sideways, held on to a tree trunk, and looked silently at the mountain pass, where a dark cloud was floating in the distance......

Li Yu twisted his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and said in such a firm voice: "There are two hidden command points, find!" Keep looking! ”

Everyone stepped on the vast twilight, walked through the forest and ditch, and crossed the mountains and mountains.

Next to a stream, Li Yu told his comrades to stop and said, "Let's take a break, drink some water, and eat some dry food." ”

The mountain wind at night whirled in the ravine, which further aggravated the heavy mood of the comrades. Li Yu took a piece of dried sweet potato from Zhu Hong's hand, put it in his mouth and said, "Eat, eat!" Suddenly, he changed his mood and said: "Comrades, if we are looking for the comrades of the four detachments, will they be looking for us?" ”

"One of the important takeaways from today's battle is to draw the enemy's attention to the north. So, I thought, we're going to the next headquarters cave. ”

Li Yu said decisively, and everyone agreed. They walked up a hill and could see the road below the hill in full view, and everyone became excited and said, "This, isn't this the place where we ambushed the enemy's horse team a few days ago?" ”

Zhu Hong inadvertently kicked a lunch box, picked it up and put it in the military bag. One of the fighters said, "What do you want to do with that?" ”

"It's good to boil water, and it's good to cook rice......"

"This ......"

Back in the cave, Vermilion opened the lunch box and saw that there was a note inside. She exclaimed, "Hey, don't sleep yet, what is this?" ”

Li Eryou and others gathered around together, and by the glimmer of Songming, Zhu Hongsha raised his throat and read: "Dear comrades! ……”

Vermilion was so excited that she couldn't read a sentence, and she turned around and crawled out of the cave. Li Yu, who was checking the gang, grabbed her hand in surprise and said, "You, you say, what? ”

Li Yu read the note over and over again, slowly staring at the note, her vision blurred, and tears welled up in her eyes. At this time, Li Yu felt that the font was too familiar, and the tone of the words seemed to have heard it, and he said to himself: "Elephant! It's too much of an elephant! Could it be that the commander of the Northeast Army has gone behind the enemy? ”

Everyone happily guessed ......
