79 "The letter from the Yimeng Mountains was written by Commander Chen himself, and he said that due to the needs of the entire coastal situation and tasks, the headquarters ordered us to immediately insert our troops southwest to the vicinity of Niushan to start a struggle against the enemy on the main line of the Longhai Railway," Political Commissar Gu conveyed.

"Okay, kill these turtles," said the big man Xu Yunduo.

Political Commissar Gu said: "However, Niushan is located between Haizhou and Xuzhou, and the enemies in the east, west, north and south attack the western region, and they all divide their troops from Xuzhou, which poses a great threat to our coastal areas, southern Lunan and northern Jiangsu.

"There's nothing to be afraid of," Jiliu said.

"In addition, the vicinity of Niushan is the communication line between our coastal base area and the northern Jiangsu base area, and recently the Kuomintang troops have been cooperating with the enemy to attack our New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu and invade the railway side, in an attempt to cooperate with the devils to cut off the connection between coastal and northern Jiangsu from here, so that each can break us," said political commissar Gu.

"Don't be afraid, kill him a dog-day little devil," Xiang Xiaodun said,

Political Commissar Gu also said: "Therefore, after we get there, we will not only destroy the enemy's communications, but also maintain our Sulu communication line, that is, we must grasp the enemy's blockade line and link the two anti-Japanese areas......

Gu Mu looked at Jiliu, Fang Xiao and Yun Duo, they were nodding, comprehending the intention of their superiors, he tried his best to talk about the words on the letter with explanations,

So, Gu Mu looked at the second half of the letter, and continued: "Our task of activities on the seaside has come to an end now, here, we have completed the task of organizing the armed forces in accordance with the instructions of our superiors, and have effectively cooperated with the counter-sweep in the Yimeng Mountains,"

"Okay," Jiliu said, "our battles to attack the city of Ganyu and seize the ships have shaken the enemy and made great contributions to the struggle against 'sweeping' in the mountains, and in these many combat exercises, our ranks have grown, and Commander Chen hopes that we will overcome all difficulties to complete the new tasks assigned to us by the party and our superiors."

Gu Mu: "Of course, this task is arduous, and when we arrive in the new area, everything is not as familiar as we are on the coast of Ganyu, and we will encounter difficulties, and the headquarters has also planned for us, because we have turned the world upside down on the seaside, angering the enemy, and the enemy will strengthen its control over the Longhai railway line, and our future activities will be more difficult,"

"That's what happened, now that the enemy is focusing all his attention on the seaside in the coastal area, we suddenly insert into Niushan Mountain, and take advantage of the enemy's gap, where we can create conditions for 'digging hearts'," Jiliu said.

"Another one, that is, recently, there are some people from the military engineering team who can pick up cars on the railway line, and when they heard that we were engaged in steamships, they learned from the railway guerrillas to make trains," Speaking of this, Gu Political Commissar pointed at Meng Chong and said with a smile, "This Comrade Meng Chong is the person in charge of the military engineering team, he is an old comrade of Commander Chen Shiyu, and this time I went to the mountains to ask the headquarters to give them a big task of blowing up the train."

"Don't be afraid, kill his grandmother for a shit," Xu Yunduo said,

Gu Mu continued: "The opinion of the headquarters wants us to go there and join them temporarily, and they also agree, most of them are natives of Niushan and are very familiar with the local situation, which is also a favorable condition for our activities there, this Comrade Meng Chong came to us as a guide for us to go there, and after the headquarters instructed us to go there, the main thing is to familiarize ourselves with the situation there first and assist Lao Meng in their work."

Commissar Gu finished conveying, Ji Liu slapped his thigh, and said forcefully: "We are determined to do a good job with the brother martial arts team and the enemy labor team, and the team members are not unfamiliar with the place in Niushan, because they often went there to do underground work in the past, and there are acquaintances over there,"

Now Gu Mu looked at Meng Chong, who had just been mistaken for a guide, and felt extremely cordial, the wrinkles on Meng Chong's copper-colored face were as deep as carved on a steel plate, although he was a farmer, but Jiliu saw from the expression on his face that it was a bit like an old horse at Lianyungang Wharf, so he smiled: "Do you know Commander Chen?"

"Yes, we are old friends," Meng Chong said, "It's a long story, I think when he was the county magistrate of the Red Army, we were all together, and we said something that didn't listen, you were still young at that time, more than ten years ago,"

Hearing that Meng Chong was an old revolutionary, Political Commissar Gu, Fang Xiao, Jiliu, and Yun Duo all sat down around Meng Chong and looked at Meng Chong with very respectful eyes.

So, Meng Chong continued: "At that time, our Red Army was carrying out the '25,000-mile Long March', and later came to resist the war," Speaking of this, Meng Chong spoke more energetically, he said: "Our party came out of the underground again, after the devil came, Commander Chen came to Shandong, I went to look for him, and as soon as he met, he said: 'Old man, you haven't been killed,' I said: 'Still alive, let's do it again!'"

"What did he say," Gu Mu asked,

"He said, 'You don't see how old you are,' but I said, 'I'm old before I get forty, can't you do it when you're old, let's just watch others do it,' and when Commander Chen sees me resolutely, he says that my cadres are okay, so let's be the head of the martial arts team,"

"Then come later," Xu Yunduo asked,

Meng Chong continued: "After the devils occupied Lianyungang, we heard that there was a martial arts team in Binhai Ganyu that killed bad guys and fought devils very well, and just a few days ago they robbed the devil's ship, and more than 30 devils on the ship told them to kill not one left, and the devils in Haizhou and Niushan here listened to their scalps numb.

"My big boy, Lao Tzu has to harvest them," Xu Yunduo said.

Meng Chong continued: "This incident spread all over the East China Sea, and it was rumored everywhere that this team of martial arts would fly, running faster than the train, and flying on the steamer in the sea as soon as he jumped up, and he heard that there was a capable person inside, and his hand pointed to the steamer, and the steamer was 'fixed', and their marksmanship was a hundred steps through the Yang, never falling short, in short, this living like a myth spread everywhere, I can't imagine that you did it......"

Meng Chong was so excited to tell the enemy and hypocrisy in the area of Haizhou Mansion, as well as the legend of the common people about the Fifth Martial Arts Brigade (also known as the Ganyu Martial Arts Brigade), which caused Gu Mu, Fang Xiao, Jiliu and Yun Duo to laugh from time to time.

Meng Chong said, "I'll go and encourage this group of soldiers under me; Said that people can kill devils like this, you have the ability to pick up cars, why don't you do it, discuss with them in the future, they want me to go to the mountains to give them tasks, I heard Commander Chen say that he wants to transfer you to us and help us, this is great, you go over there, you have to teach us well, we are a good place there, when you get there, we will definitely invite you to eat the big red fish of the Rose River,"

After listening to Captain Meng Chong's speech, Captain Song really felt what a great impact their Ganyu Martial Arts Brigade had in the past struggle, in the hearts of the enemy and the people in the coastal area, and he was now going to lead his veteran team members to Meng Chong's hometown to meet the new struggle task, and now what he urgently needed to know was the situation of some of the martial arts teams that would cooperate there, and he asked: "How are your numbers and equipment?"

"Thirty-one people, forty-two guns,"

"Are they all short guns?"

"No, eleven spears, thirty-one spears; The rifles are all made in Hanyang,"

Ji Liu nodded, they heard from Meng Chong's words, his subordinates didn't have any big reputation, they wanted to fight a big morale boosting battle, strengthen their morale, after they got there, they should help them very well, let them play majestic, and then he discussed the time of action with Commissar Gu, Fang Xiao, and Yun Duo, and then said to Meng Chong: "Let's leave tomorrow night,"

"Okay, the sooner the better,"

"Tomorrow night we will move to Dalingnan, and we will cross the Dasha River in the second half of the night," Commissar Gu said to Meng Chong, "You know all the roads there!"

"Cooked,"

"Then you will be our guide,"

"There is nothing wrong with insurance," Meng Chong replied affirmatively,

"Are your legs and feet okay?"

"Don't look at me at nearly forty years old, one hundred and eighty miles a day, I can also compete with the young people in your team, some time ago I went to the mountains to see Commander Chen, ninety miles to see the sun at both ends," Jiliu asked Wan Hong to make a bunk in the house, take care of Meng Chong to sleep, he and Gu Mu, Fang Xiao and Yun Duo, were carefully studying the issue of mobilization,

The next day, this small army along the north of the Dasha River a slip of woods, to the west, the villages in the north and south of the river, from the devil occupied by the Longhai railway line more than ten kilometers road, in addition to sweeping, the enemy and the puppet are less active here, at night it is even rarer, noon, the day is very hot, they stop in a small village to rest, the people in the village are crowded up to see this small team from the east, the croppers are talking secretly:

"Hey, look at how neat this team is, young and vigorous, with a two-box gun ...... of one color"

There are often anti-Japanese guerrillas in this village, carrying earth pressure five and earth cannons, but I have never seen such a neat team, a row of more than 60 box guns, each of whom is wearing an earth-colored trouser gown, which is so suitable when worn on the body, and the extraordinary spirit of walking with a sharp and sharp rope; A row of dense cloth buttons on the chest, this is a common style in the south of Ganyu mussels and north of Xinpu,

In addition, I saw the red silk, fluttering in the wind in the place where the handle of the gun was in the box, all black cloth shoes, and the line was as tall as possible, and they were all young men in their twenties, strong and strong, and their faces were glowing red.

The local people are looking at the leader who is speaking in front of the team with very attentive eyes, his voice is so loud, waving his fists, and his body is full of energy.

Meng Chong touched his short beard and grinned in the praise of the common people, and said to the political commissar Gu beside him: "This is simply a group of little tigers,"

"Your martial arts team is not bad, and it is no exception to make the enemy howl," Jiliu said commendally,

Commissar Gu smiled after hearing this, and when Jiliu finished speaking, he said to him: "Deputy Captain Song, the team members are really a bit dazzling when they go to the countryside of the East China Sea......

"This is Comrade Yun Duo's idea," Fang Xiao said, "After listening to your mobilization, he thought that he would go over there to give a good impression to the people of the brother troops, so he moved out all the military uniforms obtained from the steamship in Qingdao."

"Good guy, if you put on the devil's hat and stupid shoes again, the local people will think that the devil has entered the village," Gu Mu said humorously.

At this time, Yun Duo came over, and when he heard the conversation between Political Commissar Gu and Section Chief Fang and Meng Chong, he blinked his eyes and interjected: "Lao Gu, we can look like this time, our reputation has spread, so that people can see that our martial arts team in Chengde, which is engaged in foreign companies, Yingkou, and Qingdao steamships, is not thrown off, dressed well, and has good weapons, all of this is taken from the hands of devils,"

"Of course, this will have an effect on them, but this time we are going to a new area, and it is a rural area on the plains, and there is a big difference between us and the peasants in terms of clothing, so we will expose our goals at any time, and it is okay to do this for the time being, but in the future, when the struggle is cruel, we will have to dress up like the peasants," Gu Mu said earnestly,

"That's right," Jiliu nodded in agreement with Commissar Gu Mu's opinion,

"That's right," Yun Duo blinked, touched his distribution head, and said with a smile, "This look, it's only temporary, I'll take the lead in replacing it immediately," (.mkxs.)
