Hong Mei opened her mouth, not mentioning the topic of whether she should lead the devil to the east, nor did she say anything about the mistake of the battle. I would like to remind everyone here to think of two things.

First, what are the main tasks of the party at present? Is it to mobilize the masses and persist in the armed struggle behind enemy lines?

Second, what kind of leading role should party members play in the counter-sweep?

What's the matter, don't talk about specific things, move out of Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, Chairman Mao's Party Central Committee's decree comes out, what is the noise! As soon as the two sentences were finished, all the actions from yesterday to the present were defined, and Yang Bangzi commanded correctly!

You Feng Dayan has a high level of theory, the old five sons are bitter and mean, what's the use, the central government's regulations are there, protect the masses, and fight against the devils on the fly, this is the highest instruction of iron!

After speaking, Commissar Hong Mei was tired, and then leaned on the backpack and half-closed his eyes.

Yang finished wiping his stick and gun, smoked enough, stood up and announced three things. First, all combatants, including those lightly wounded, disrupted their original structure and reorganized them into one detachment and two platoons, with the fifth squad leader of the guard company and the comrades of the county brigade serving as the platoon commanders respectively, and the combat detachment directly serving as the captain.

The second is that the prisoners form the second detachment, with Feng Dayan as the team leader, with a squad under the jurisdiction of the original escort team members, but excluding him Yang Stick.

The third is that Yang Bangzi himself appointed himself as the captain of the two detachments, Hong Mei as the political commissar, and Feng Dayan as the deputy captain.

Yang Bangzi finished announcing with a smile, and without waiting for everyone to react, he announced another article, an extraordinary period, it is so decided, there are reservations, and it will be resolved after seeing the superior organization.

Everyone had their own hearts and minds silent, Yang Bangzi didn't care so much, and directly began to give orders to everyone.

Tell the two platoon commanders of the combat team to immediately assemble the fighters, thoroughly check the weapons and equipment, the skylight, the lower hole, the left side of the hall, etc., and arrange the personnel on duty.

Remind Lao Feng and Lao Wuzi to lead the prisoners to the three rooms on the left and detain them separately, separate the female prisoners from the male prisoners, and leave Ma Yidao in the hall.

Then he looked up and told Officer Kim to gather a few female comrades in the room where the meeting was held, and to take care of the food and care for the wounded.

Lao Feng angrily got up and was about to leave after receiving the order, but Yang Bangzi grabbed him and asked everyone else to carry out the order.

Hong Mei, Lao Feng, and Yang Bangzi held a small meeting alone in the room to discuss two things, one is the information provided by the shovel monkey about the three-edged knife, Yang Bangzi means that the interrogation must be grasped and the problem clear, otherwise when the water recedes, this matter will be a bomb that will explode at any time if it is not solved.

There is also the matter of the shovel monkey proposing to join the Eighth Route Army, this matter, he Yang Bangzi did not agree first, after all, he is not a native of the country, he knows the roots, such a complex background, it is not prudent.

Lao Feng heard that it was a knife used by leather scrapers, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "When we were expanding the red in Ningxia, I heard the fellow over there say such a sentence - provoke the king of heaven Lao Tzu and don't mess with the three people, the one who rushes the foot, the one who rattles, and the one who scrapes the cowhide!" ”

"What? What is this? Yang Bangzi was confused.

"The one who rushes is to pull the cattle to transport goods to others, carry people or something, because of the high mobility, and many bandits and other battles, offended, you escaped without a trace. The rattle is the Jianghu tour doctor, the words collide or something, and you don't know how to die. But neither of these two are as good as this shaved cowhide! ”

"Why?" Yang Bangzi scratched the back of his head and said that half a bandit and a black-hearted Langzhong are terrible enough, what is terrible about a craftsman who scrapes cowhides.

"You may not know that there was a Zuo Zongtang in this Qing Dynasty, before Pingxin beat Lao Maozi, he first slaughtered the return of the northwestern provinces, and killed tens of thousands of people in the battle of Jinjibao alone, and it is said that even the girls and dolls became a family together, and killed hundreds of thousands."

"Well, there is such a thing, it is because the Manchu Tartars are too bullying, and the people who are forced to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes can't survive, so they revolted, and the leader called a, what are the horses, right! Ma Hualong! Political Commissar Hong took such a sentence, Yang Bangzi looked at the two of them enviously, and said in his heart, it is different to be educated, I know so much!

"That's right! Ma Hualong, before being beheaded, said that forty years later, someone would avenge this blood feud, and it is strange that forty years later, the Qing Dynasty is really finished and republiced. According to the common people, many of the rebels crawled out of the pile of dead people back then, and they all became cowhide scrapers, and they all passed it on, saying that this guy and their descendants were a secret organization, and they specially sent killers to assassinate Zuo Zongtang and his descendants. ”

"Feng Dayan, it's a pity that you are an enemy of engineering, why don't you change to a storyteller! Also killers! What a secret organization! Yang Bangzi teased Lao Feng contemptuously.

Lao Feng ignored his provocation, and then continued: "But I heard from the common people that after the Republic of China, these guys have all scattered, and there are no more legends. Is he walking around the streets and cutting pigs or something, a disguise? But Captain Gao's surname is Gao, and his surname is not Zuo! ”

"In this way, tonight, we will try him again and again, and deceive him." Yang Bangzi came up with such an idea.

"Okay, do this after dinner, by the way, and the shovel monkey, I didn't finish telling you last time, I had a relationship with this kid, didn't his master help Sun Dianying step on it, and later when he robbed the tomb of Cixi, the King Kong wall was too thick, and it couldn't be blown up after several explosions, and the master of the shovel monkey who invited him, after the eye came, he turned around twice and stepped on two positions, and this time the wall was blown up."

Yang Bangzi likes to listen to stories the most, and he couldn't help but take out the cigarette bag and pot and light a pot for Lao Feng.

Later, Sun Dianying invited the Divine Eye to dinner, and gave a lot of treasures, after the Divine Eye returned, he died in less than three days, according to legend, before he died, he let his apprentice, that is, this shovel monkey, escape far away, do not seek revenge. The shovel monkey was gone. Later, when I was doing military transportation in Mancheng County, there was a half-dead person in the backyard of our transportation station in the middle of the night, and there were several knife wounds on his body, and the person was about to die. ”

"Isn't it a shovel monkey?" Yang Bangzi interjected excitedly.

"At the beginning, we didn't know, so I bandaged and treated the injury, and I will raise it for a few days, there is an old traffic in that traffic station, and it is said that it is on the mixed road in the Canal Gang and Changping and Beiping, and I saw this person we adopted, and I was told that this is the shovel monkey, and the old traffic has seen him and his master's eyes, and knows some of the Tao here."

"I originally wanted to stay with the shovel monkey for a few more days, but I didn't think that people saw that someone saw through the details, and left a note saying that he was grateful for saving his life, and there will be a period in the future, I still don't know who he was chased and killed by at that time, why was he so seriously injured?"

"Finished?" Yang Bangzi asked eagerly.

"It's over! What more do you want to hear! Have you listened to books and paid for tea! Lao Feng asked angrily.

"Come on! Here you go! Lao Tzu rewards you with tea money! Yang raised his big black paws.

After a few jokes, zuihou is so determined, the shovel monkey is temporarily arranged into the escort team led by Lao Feng, and he will observe it for a few days, so that the old five sons will stare at it. Yang Bangzi can only do this if he thinks about it, look at Hong Mei, Commissar Hong nodded, this matter is decided.

Lao Feng went to arrange things, and Yang Bangzi lowered his head and twisted for a long time before he said to Hong Mei: "How about thank you?" ”

"Which one wants you to thank? I'm doing things for the party! Hong Mei said coldly as she turned her head towards the wall.

Yang rubbed his hands, his face was hot, he was choked with such a sentence, and it was not easy to return his mouth, swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, turned his head, and went out of the ear chamber.

As soon as I arrived in the hall, the fifth son came over and said that there was a situation, and the blind man said why not go to the room over there.

Yang Bangzi frowned, and said in his heart that there are many problems with waste people, so that the soldiers carried you on their backs for a night, and they were used to getting sick. Suppress the fire and let the old man call the blind man over.

The blind man came, not alone, but also his yellow-haired little girl.

The blind man looked up to be in his fifties, dry and thin, with a hunched waist, wearing a melon-skin hat, with a pigtail like a mouse's tail hanging leisurely behind his head, always carrying a broken huqin in his hand, and two small eyes that rolled at the gray-white eyeballs from time to time.

"What's the matter with you, tell me!" Yang Bangzi crossed his waist and asked the blind man.

"You are a Captain Yang, my surname is Zhang, I am old, and I can't do anything without this girl, I beg the captain, don't let us separate, no."

After listening to the blind man's words, Yang Bangzi tilted his head and thought about it, and then looked at the little girl hiding behind the blind man with half of her face exposed, this little girl's body was just about the same as a rifle, with yellow hair on her head, a dirty face and a shabby flower dress.

"Alas!" Yang Bangzi sighed, and said in his heart that he was also a poor man, seeing this kitten-like child, Yang Bangzi always remembered his sister who was just over a year old and starved to death in the famine year, and he should be so old if he wanted to live.

The blind man thanked him a thousand times, and he also pulled out the child behind him to give Yang Stick a salute. Yang Bangzi hurriedly waved his hand to stop the two.

The blind man stretched out his hand to give Yang the stick to rub it, bent over and didn't stand firm for a while, and almost fell, Yang the stick hurriedly grabbed it and reached out to help, and the two were half hugged together.

"Captain Yang, everyone sleeps at night, let me tell you something, there are ghosts in your team!" The blind man whispered this sentence close to Yang's stick's ear.

Yang Bangzi's heart was cold, the blind man in front of him smiled, showing his yellow teeth, he didn't see it, and he was quite scheming, pretending to fall down to deliver the message.

Nodding slightly, he straightened the blind man's body, the blind man arched his hand, turned around and was about to go to Tukang with the support of the little girl, and when he staggered with Yang Stick, the huqin in his hand touched the armed belt around Yang Stick's waist.

"Dangchang!" The sound of metal hitting came, Yang Bangzi's eyes lit up, he saw a lot of Huqin, this touched the copper belt buckle, and he had never seen it that could make a sound! Good fellow, iron-clad huqin! Let's talk less about twenty or thirty pounds! No wonder the dry and thin old man was quite heavy on his back last night!

Yang Bangzi's back was cold, and he was standing on the entrance of the door, and the hole in the Xiangxia layer behind him was not covered with an iron plate, and a gust of wind blew up. Under the black mouth of the cave, something seemed to be wriggling, and then disappeared again
