My team is heading west again. At 12 o'clock, we arrived at the south of Dalingnan, not far from the Dasha River. They had dinner in a small village, prepared it, and immediately crossed the Dasha River.

Before eating, Political Commissar Gu, Fang Xiao and Meng Chong went to the high place of the river embankment and looked at the terrain to the west. The three of them stood on the embankment, bathed in late autumn dew, standing there quietly, like three purple bronze statues.

Commissar Gu raised his binoculars and looked southwest, and all in front of him was a yellowed plain. The Dasha River stretches from east to west like a white belt; In the yellow bushes at the end of the white belt in the east, there is a huge "chimney" exposed, which is the turret of the stronghold of Shahe Town. He looked across the Dasha River into the distance, and saw an endless village, and the moonlight shone in the direction of Niushan, raising a white smoke heading east. Commissar Gu asked Meng Chong, "What is that?" ”

"It looks like smoke from a moving train, so it must be a train coming from the west."

Meng Chong put down the binoculars and said in the affirmative, Commissar Gu deeply felt that this captain of the martial arts industry was familiar with the local situation, so he asked Meng Chong: "Where do your team members live now?" ”

"It is on both sides of the Donghai Railway, and it is now a village in the north of the railway, which is more than ten miles away from the railway, because the enemy wants to protect the railway, and the villages on both sides of the railway have established 'love villages'. However, in the area where I am stationed, the enemy does not usually take care of that place except for sweeping. We were going to get there before dawn, and we were still more than sixty miles away.

Political Commissar Gu looked up at the terrain in front of him again, he turned back to Fang Xiao and said, "This is a good place!" ”

"We are here to fight the enemy in a life-and-death struggle!"

They walked to the slope and had dinner in the Zhuangzi, and it was not early. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, the team left Daling Village and advanced towards the Dasha River.

At that time, it was really a forest of turrets and roads. Someone said: "Go out and board the highway, look up and see the turret!" "It's true. There are intelligence officers in each village to maintain the association, the "anti-communist" regiment and the enemy; County boundary ditches, district boundary walls, and telephone lines extending in all directions are everywhere. The landlords, the old wealth, and the youth team returned the yang; Devils, puppet soldiers, police, and spies are running around. There was no laughter on everyone's faces, and everyone's hearts were full of sorrow. The women who cut their hair combed their braids and sat at the door of the house; Young lads, all with beards and old men.

In order to smash the large-scale "sweep" of the Japanese puppet army, Chen Shiyu used most of the main force to cover the leading organs of the Shandong Military Region and sub-bureaus and promptly transferred them to the outer line to a safe area to wait for the plane, and the other main force used the first part of the main force to cooperate with the local armed forces and militia to stick to the inner line and carry out guerrilla warfare to troubled the exhausted enemy.

Our old Sixth Regiment was in the mountainous area southwest of Jiazi Mountain, resisting the frenzied attack of more than 1,500 enemy puppet troops and covering the safe transfer of the masses. The Rizhao local armed forces and the vast number of militia carried out more than a month of attacks and sieges on the key passes on the top of the mountain and built cave-like fortifications to the west of the Rizhao, Zhucheng, Taoluo, and Jufengjian Hai (Zhou) and Qing (Dao) highways, and finally forced them back.

For this reason, more than 3,000 people of the Matsuoka Brigade of the First Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army dispatched from Linyi entered the Heilin area, and the Japanese puppet army dispatched from the Jiaoji Line entered the Binbei area, and they all began to have to retreat back under the continuous attacks of our army and civilians.

In this bleak autumn night, the No. 1 Squadron of the Fifth Armed Forces Brigade of the Binhai Naval Region is heading up against the wind and heading towards its destination!

The eyes are bastards, and the legs are heroes. After a night of rapid marching, this martial arts team climbed ditches, detoured points, crossed the Dasha River, and passed through layers of blockade lines, and came to the northern area of the East China Sea, where the military engineering team was stationed - Mawang Village.

After entering the East China Sea for more than 40 miles, the soles of Gu's shoes were worn out.

The next day, after lunch, he sat in the courtyard and sewed under the sun. At this time, Deputy Squadron Leader Xu Yun grabbed two large buckets of water, broke into the door of the landlord's house, and poured it into the water tank with a bang.

"Oops, comrade! It's all full...... As soon as you stay, you will be given water! A sharp, appreciative voice came from the house, the voice of the old lady of the landlady.

"In our Gannan Dunshang, Luoyang, and Punan areas, I don't dare to pick the landlord if I want to." Yun Duo put down the bucket and walked out of the house. He glanced at the needlework in Gu Mu's hand, and asked with a smile, "What, Comrade Minister and Political Commissar, your shoes are also worn out?" ”

"Isn't it, what about your shoes?" Gu Mu pulled out the needle with his teeth and glanced at the shoes on Yun Duo's feet.

"My shoes were put on by the military on this march. After crossing the Dasha River and walking for 60 miles, the port village in the East China Sea was still full of new ones. Who knows, after walking two miles into the field, the sole of the shoe, which is not up to the end, has become a piece of tissue paper! Yun Duo said, raising a foot to show Gu Mu. Then he said, "I'm scared when I come here. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Mu cut the hemp rope sewing his shoes, raised his head and asked.

"I'm afraid there are too many crystal stones. No matter how sturdy the shoes you wear, just walk on the field for three days and be sure to be polished by the crystal stone here. ”

"What about the second fear?"

"I'm afraid that the night will be quieter, and the dog will bark. There are so many dogs here, no matter which village you go to at night, almost all of them bark! However, the environment is better here, and the barking dog is no exception to call us to the police. ”

"The environment you said is good, it has to be like our Ganyu seaside? When the day is bright, I hurriedly look forward to the dark sky, and when it is dark, I am afraid that the sky will be bright. Fighting wars has become commonplace; Marching is an official subject. You know, it was forced by the enemy. We don't want to live that life of fear, we are forced by the enemy......"

While Gu Mu was talking, a brisk singing voice came from afar: "...... The clear sky, the clear ocean shines silver light in the sun's radiance, this is the seashore of our freedom, the frontier of the motherland, and the frontier of the motherland has been liberated. Our frontier of freedom, where people can breathe freely and sing indulgently, where there is no hunger or famine, like that paradise on earth......"

Nearby, the merchant was rhythmically shaking a small gong and drum. Boom, boom, boom! The children giggled and chased each other. The boys carried the cut grass and walked towards home. It is a spectacle of joy and labor, the epitome of happiness and peace. All these scenes touched Gu Mu's heart.

So, he stood up, put on his shoes, and asked meaningfully: "Comrade Yunduo, tell me, before the 'autumn' sweep, wasn't it the same in the western part of Ganyu?" ”

Yun Duo nodded silently.

Indeed, before the "autumn" sweep, western Jiangxi and northwest Jiangxi were the same as here, and after autumn, it was also a harmonious and joyful scene: young men shook their whips and drove big ox carts to pull soil and dung...... On the edge of the village, there are people beating blanks, and there are people cleaning up Chinese cabbage; The sound of gongs and drums is the village propaganda team rehearsing a new play; "Beat, Fall, Day, Ben, Emperor" is reading aloud, and it is the women who are in the literacy class; The old people squatted on the sunny place, basking in the sun and chatting......

In the end, Gu Mu muttered: "Everything is temporary, and it will be changed soon!" ”

"With our party, our army, and the people of the whole country, we will definitely defeat it!" Yun Duo waved his fist and said as if he was vowing.

"Report, Political Commissar Gu, Commander Chen, please join Section Chief Fang, Captain Song, Captain Meng, and Captain Xu." A small communicator with a double-box gun on his back and a neatly armed man politely gave a military salute to the valley.

"What? …… Good! …… Walk! Gu Mu took a moment, put the towel on the head of the hoop, touched the corner of the purple gown, pressed the two shell guns on his waist, dragged the front and back plackets, and followed the messenger out of the door with Yun Duo. went next door to bring Fang, Song, and Meng with them, and ran to the residence of Chen Shiyu and others who had just arrived.

As soon as Commander Chen saw Gu Mu and the others walking in, he hurriedly removed the map in front of him and beckoned them to sit down.

Commander Chen was already tall and strong, but today he took off his faded military uniform and changed into a set of civilian clothes, so he still looked burly and majestic. He saw Gu Mu's surprised look at his sudden arrival, and said playfully, "Why don't you come?" Soldiers, wherever there is a war, they will fight! ”

Gu Mu, Fang Xiao, Jiliu, and Yun Duo looked at each other, smiled, and no one spoke.

"However, now Gu Mu and Fang Xiao can't leave! You two have to put aside other work first, and cooperate with these two elites of the martial arts team to 'dig' this 'heart' for me! ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" Gu Mu and Fang Xiao replied in unison.

"It's good to know! In accordance with the spirit of the instructions given by the party Central Committee and Commander Luo of the Shandong Military Region, it is now necessary to draw a number of outstanding officers from their two armed engineering teams who have a certain amount of combat experience and have a few martial arts skills to form a short and concise contingent to go deep into the enemy's railways and blow up the devil's ironclad cars. ”

"Yes!" The Way.

Commander Chen said: "** said: 'The east is not bright, the west is bright, and the south is dark, and there is the north. The 'devil's 'swept away' us, and the sharp knife of your martial arts team quietly plunged into the enemy's heart, and went to blow him up on his back. The party committee of the military region decided to let the two of you command this battle, with Comrade Gu Mu as the commander-in-chief, and Fang Xiao, Lao Song, Lao Meng, and Du Weixian of the enemy's engineering department as deputy commanders. What are your opinions? ”

"Nope!" Everyone spoke in unison.

When Tang Liang saw their happy looks, he said with a smile: "In order to smash the great 'sweep' of the Japanese puppet army, Commander Chen used most of the main force to cover the leading organs of the Shandong Military Region and the sub-bureau to transfer to the outer line in a safe area in time to wait for the plane, and the other main force part cooperated with the local armed forces and militia to stick to the inner line and carry out guerrilla warfare to troublesome the tired enemy. The old sixth regiment was in the mountainous area southwest of Jiazi Mountain, resisting the frenzied attack of more than 1,500 enemy puppet people......"

"Good! Good! Yun Duo took the lead in saying a good word, and everyone followed along and said a good word. (.mkxs.)
