"Spies?" Sun Dahai and the others looked at each other in surprise when they heard this, and then turned their gaze to the six people who had been escorted by the guerrillas of the district squad.

When Sun Dahai saw Xiao Chen and Xiao Liu, the two old Red Armymen, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he immediately ran over.

"Chen Bing, Liu Xiaohai?" Sun Dahai shouted with tears in his eyes.

Originally, according to Qiao Youhua's orders, he became a prisoner of this group of guerrillas, which made Xiao Chen and Xiao Liu very depressed, and their feelings were low.

A voice that seemed somewhat familiar suddenly came, and the two of them looked up one after another, and when they saw Sun Dahai, they were all stunned.

"It's really you." Sun Dahai, an iron-clad man, had tears rolling in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to say without falling.

"Sun Dahai, Brother Dahai." Xiao Chen and Xiao Liu shouted out each other's names for Sun Dahai in unison.

"Why, this chief, do you know each other?" The captain of the district squad who wanted to invite credit said confusedly.

Zhao Youde, Zhang Ling and others also came over and asked, "Old Sun, cannon, what's going on?" ”

Sun Dahai turned his head and said with red eyes: "They are not spies, they are the same as us, they are all members of the Eighth Route Army, and our brothers were comrades-in-arms back then, and they climbed the snow mountains and crossed the grassland together, and walked out of 25,000 miles!" ”

As he spoke, Sun Dahai, a tough and tough man, couldn't stop crying in front of so many subordinates.

Those who have not participated in the Long March cannot understand the mood of the three of them at this moment, when they joined hands in adversity and went through countless hardships along the way, I don't know how many comrades-in-arms fell down and never stood up again.

They were able to walk to northern Shaanxi and Yan'an alive, and they had already formed a stronger love than their brothers.

Later, because of the combat mission, they separated, and now they are reunited after a long absence in this unexpected situation.

"Then who are these people?" Zhang Ling said.

Chen Bing and Liu Xiaohai, who were excited, came back to their senses, Chen Bing looked at Qiao Youhua apologetically, and saw that Qiao Youhua was looking at him with a smile on his face, and his heart was a little relieved.

Qiao Youhua originally wanted to bring Xiao Liu and Xiao Chen to facilitate contact and identify himself and the Eighth Route Army, but he never expected that they and the captain of the group were still comrades-in-arms in distress, which would save him a lot of trouble, and he could also grasp the command of taking over these guerrilla forces as quickly as possible.

So, he had a smile on his face.

Chen Bing wiped his reddened eyes, and without waiting for Sun Dahai to ask, he took the initiative to introduce: "Old Sun, comrades, this is the head of the Dragon Tooth Task Force, Colonel Qiao Youhua, and the best commander of the anti-Japanese forces in the Feiyunling area. ”

"What? He, he is Qiao Youhua......" Sun Dahai, Zhang Ling, Zhao Youde was stunned for a moment, and the captain of the district squad who led his guerrillas to surrender Qiao Youhua's weapons turned extremely ugly.

"Exactly." Chen Bing nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Sun Dahai and the others stepped forward and saluted: "Good chief." ”

Qiao Youhua smiled slightly, saluted back in response, and said: "Comrades, you have worked hard all the way, on behalf of all the soldiers and civilians in the Feiyunling anti-Japanese base area, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your hard work and rushing to reinforcements." ”

Sun Dahai hurriedly said: "The chief's words are serious, it is the duty of our communists to resist Japan and save the country, but we failed to arrive at Feiyunling before the Japanese puppet army according to the instructions of our superiors, and meet with your team, the chief, please punish the chief." ”

Zhang Ling and Zhao Youde also looked like Sun Dahai, with self-blame and chagrin on their faces.

Qiao Youhua smiled and waved his hand: "You are far away from the Feiyunling anti-Japanese base area, and it is understandable that you did not complete the task on time.

Now you should be wondering how I ended up here, right? ”

Sun Dahai, Zhao Youde and the others glanced at each other and couldn't help nodding.

"Time is pressing, the situation is critical, I won't explain too much, in a word, I came here to find your three county anti-Japanese armed forces, from now on, I declare that your three county brigades and all the armed personnel of all the district squads under my unified command!

Do you have any comments? Qiao Youhua said.

The three of them responded one after another: "One qiē is the head of the horse, and resolutely obeys the order!" ”

"Very good, now the Japanese are besieging Feiyunling, but Feiyunling is jointly defended by my Longya Task Force and the Luquan County Brigade and District Squad, and the position is as stable as Mount Tai and as solid as a rock, you can rest assured.

Next, you immediately gather your troops and follow me to attack Luquan County! Qiao Youhua nodded happily.

Hearing that the Feiyunling defense line was safe and secure, the three captains were secretly relieved, thinking that Qiao Youhua had broken through here when he appeared, and Feiyunling had been occupied by the Japanese army.

However, as soon as they heard Qiao Youhua's second half of the sentence that they were going to attack Luquan County, the three of them couldn't help but change color, their faces were full of shock, you look at me, I look at you, and finally looked at Qiao Youhua with their eyes.

"What? Can't? Qiao Youhua deliberately provoked.

The surprise on Sun Dahai's face was replaced by anger, and he blushed his neck and said: "Chief, you can question my combat effectiveness, but you can't doubt my courage, as long as you say a word, even if it is the emperor Lao Tzu who went to fight the dog, we Sun Dahai will not frown!" ”

"Okay, then go and gather the troops immediately, I'll take you to Luquan, clean up the two mixed brigades of the little devil, and turn the Zhengding Line area upside down.

Do you dare? Qiao Youhua asked loudly.

"Dare!" Although the three of them didn't know why Qiao Youhua did this, since as the leader, he had already decided that even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they had to rush forward, so they responded aloud.

The three of them went to assemble the team, and the captain of the district team came over a little timidly, saluted Qiao Youhua and said, "Chief, I didn't know that you were the chief, please punish the chief!" ”

Qiao Youhua looked at the young guerrilla, showing a hint of appreciation, just now when they came out of the woods, they were surrounded by their ambush, although with the strength of himself and others, it was completely easy to kill them.

But this young squad leader who led the team left a good impression on Qiao Youhua, and with a little training and training in the future, he would grow into an excellent scout.

"Tell me, why should I punish you?" Qiao Youhua asked with a smile.

The squad leader said tremblingly: "I, I led the team to surrender your gun, chief." ”

"Haha, little comrade, you did a good job, as a soldier, you should maintain good vigilance, so you are not wrong, after all, those who don't know are not guilty, and you don't know my identity." Qiao Youhua smiled and asked rhetorically, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the chief, my name is Zhao Tiezhu!" The captain of the district team was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to respond.
