Gao Tingguang didn't boast much about himself, but he just understood the situation of the enemy in front of him very carefully.

On the morning of the same day, Chen Shiyu, Wang Lushui, and Zhang Yufan had already learned through Gao Tingguang that they had connected with the commander of the sixth battalion defending the enemy in front of them, and Peng Xibin, the deputy captain of Liu Hei's 7th unit stationed in Pingyi, was preparing to revolt.

This news made the three commanders, Chen Shiyu, Wang Lushui, and Zhang Yufan, overjoyed. I didn't expect the Lunan underground party to be so capable and efficient. If you can win the pseudo-sixth battalion to lay down your arms and open a breakthrough! Then the situation is very different. Political Commissar Wang Lushui immediately said with a clear attitude: "Whether it is surrender or uprising, as long as the resistance is stopped, we welcome it." ”

Near noon, Peng Xibin, deputy commander of the puppet brigade stationed in Pingyi, personally led several staff officers and entourage to take a military vehicle and went straight to the headquarters of our army in a village. At this moment, Lu Nan was still in the chaos of the war, but Peng Xibin's face was calm, there was no sense of nervousness or uneasiness, and all he felt was an excitement and impulse to rebirth and light.

The negotiations went well. After that, political commissar Wang Lushui immediately hung up the phone to Commander Luo of the Shandong Military Region and reported the situation.

At the headquarters of the Shandong Military Region, Luo Ronghuan hadn't closed his eyes well for two days and two nights. At this moment, his eyes were red and swollen like a pair of ripe peaches, and he was distressed that it was difficult for his troops to break through the mere bandit fortifications.

Luo Ronghuan's distress and anxiety are well founded. A few hours earlier, he had been at the forefront of the battlefield in the area of Nabequan, and had witnessed the casualties of his troops. Listening to the eager, seemingly irrational roars of the warriors, his heart was shaken violently. At this moment, Commander Luo and Chief of Staff Chen Shiyu were all watching him on the periphery of the Guoquan area, waiting to hear their results!

But he didn't have time. The longer the war drags on. The greater the wounded of the troops, the more the enemy will flee. In terms of patience, he can accompany him, but when it comes to time, he can't afford to delay.

Wang Lushui's phone call was like a gospel from heaven, which naturally made him overjoyed. When Wang Lushui suggested that Peng Xibin wanted to come to the headquarters to talk about the uprising in detail, Chen Shiyu immediately took over and said loudly: "Okay, good. Please come right away, we absolutely guarantee his safety. Tell him that it is best to talk well, and if it is not good, ensure that he goes back safely and let the battlefield solve the problem. ”

After talking to Wang Lushui, Chen Shiyu hurriedly reported the above situation to Luo Ronghuan by phone.

Luo Ronghuan's joy seemed to be no less than that of his chief of staff, he said loudly and repeatedly, and repeatedly told Wang Lushui: "So far, you have done a good job for this!" But we must not be paralyzed, otherwise the enemy will not be honest. ”

Commander Luo also dictated an order to Wang Lushui, instructing the requirements and principles in the negotiations.

Putting down the phone, Wang Lushui shouted to the messenger beside him: "Go, call Secretary Zhang." ”

On the afternoon of this day, Peng Xibin crossed the blockade line again and came to the Wang Lushui headquarters to discuss the uprising with Wang Lushui, political commissar of the Lunan Military Region, and Zhang Yufan, secretary. Since Zhang Yufan had been in the right direction, the negotiations on a ceasefire and the laying down of arms went smoothly.

As a matter of fact, the two sides talked more about the treatment of the officers and men who surrendered. Peng Xibin repeatedly emphasized: "I myself have long had close ties with the responsible persons of the underground party, and it is no longer a day or two for me to lead my troops to the hearts of the people, so the troops that have surrendered should be treated as 'uprisings,' retain their formation, and change them to the Eighth Route Army." ”

In the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese puppet army, especially the officials of the puppet army, had a thorough understanding of the policies of our Eighth Route Army, and after laying down their arms, almost all of them kept saying that they were uprisings and demanded that the army structure be retained and that they should enjoy the same job treatment. However, with the increasing number of puppet troops who rebelled, surrendered, and surrendered, the front-line commanders of our army had to be strictly controlled.

Today, Peng Xibin wants to revolt, there is a reasonable side, but there is also a side that is difficult for Wang Lushui to accept. If Peng Xibin had been able to lead his troops to the people half a month ago, then the matter of the "uprising" might not have been discussed. But today, it is only a matter of time before Liu Heiqi's enemy is eliminated, and Wang Lushui naturally thinks that Peng Xibin can only be regarded as forced by the situation to surrender at this time.

The two sides have been arguing for a long time on this issue. Although Peng Xibin had long been willing to throw himself into the people, first, he failed to get in touch with our underground party in time, and second, Liu Heiqi delayed giving him military power, which was also objectively unacceptable. Wang Lushui still fully considered Peng Xibin's patriotic side, and in view of his intention to contact the head of the ** department to revolt, he finally agreed that the troops would be counted as surrenders, but General Liu himself would be given preferential treatment in consideration of special policies.

It was late at night after the negotiation was completed, and Wang Lushui hosted a night dinner to entertain Peng Xibin. Peng Xibin was still satisfied with the results of the talks, but he seemed to be thoughtful and had concerns about the principles that Wang Lushui had just conveyed. All this was seen by Wang Lushui, who was sitting on the side, so he served: "Captain Peng, do you have anything else to say?" If so, speak up. ”

Peng Xibin threw him a grateful glance, he had something unspeakable. At this moment, although Peng Xibin was the commander of Liu's troops stationed in Pingyi, he actually had only two companies of troops that he could directly control. Yesterday, in order to test the movements of the other armies, he had called several squadrons and companies to come to his headquarters for a meeting, but only one adjutant came.

Under these circumstances, Peng Xibin felt that he was really not sure that he would urge these squadrons and join him to join the side of the Eighth Route Army, which was still fighting yesterday. If the other companies and squadrons didn't listen to him, then he, the deputy captain of the miscellaneous army who was not Liu Heiqi's cronies, couldn't move Liu Heiqi's hardcore bandit troops.

In addition, it was already twelve o'clock at night, only a few hours before the time of the uprising, and once there was an uprising, his squadron and company and other troops would inevitably be flanked by Liu Heiqi's men on the left and right. Time is too tight. But can the Eighth Route Army understand all this?

Peng Xibin tactfully expressed his sorrow.

Wang Lushui quietly listened to Peng Xibin's story, and said reasonably: "Captain Peng, we understand your actual situation, and you don't have to worry. For those enemies who dare to resist to the end, our Eighth Route Army will solve it on its own. As for the timing, I will postpone it until 16 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Good! Good! Your army is benevolent and righteous, and I, Peng, will do my best to promote this matter even if I go to Daoshan. ”

On the morning of the second day, Peng finally agreed to write a false message to Liu Heiqi in the name of the brigade, which was to the effect that the Japanese army was dissatisfied with Liu and wanted to send 20 planes and 60 artillery pieces to bombard Guoquan.

Liu Heiqi believed it and quickly left the lair. Liu Heiqi wandered around in front of Mengshan Mountain, was beaten everywhere, and his power was gradually weakened. In the end, Liu had no choice but to lead his troops to be stationed in the area of Feinan Zhuzi Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Peng Xibin, the deputy captain of Liu's army stationed in Pingyi, resolutely led two squadrons and two companies with a total of about 300 people, smashed the attacks of Liu's other troops, and threw himself into the arms of the people before Liu Heiqi was eliminated. On the large field of a village, groups of officers and soldiers of the puppet army who had laid down their arms counted the number of people and walked out of the field with their bare hands. With Wang Lushui's permission, Peng Xibin kept his horse, adjutant, military horses and pistols.

As early as a few months ago, Li Xianzhou of the 92nd Army of the Kuomintang entered Shandong and sent Liu Chunlin, commander of the 142nd Division, to lead three regiments into the mountainous area of Lunan first. Liu Heiqi went to contact each other and planned the cooperation between Japan and Japan. Liu Guitang then colluded with the ministry and became even more arrogant, besieging the Tianbaoshan base of the Eighth Route Army.

After Li Xianzhou's defeat, Liu Heiqi saw that a catastrophe was coming, so he destroyed all the military facilities in his old lair, secretly sent his family to Tianlu, and began to wander again. He first went to Ju County and served as the pioneer of the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Government's march and escorted the provincial government out of Lu.

This guy then returned to the mountainous area of Fei County, burned, killed and looted, and shouted frantically: "With me Liu Heiqi, there will be no people in Fei County!" I want to kill Fei County without leaving a chicken dog! ”
