Tan Zhenlin saw that Wang Haitao claimed that there were still important matters, and it was not easy to ask in detail, but he had asked the military department for instructions before he arrived in Tiancun this time, and Commander Ye Ting repeatedly told him to have a good relationship with this General Wang Haitao, after all, he had been able to get the support of the Jurong base for several years, all because the Jurong base had received instructions from this General Wang Haitao, and the New Fourth Army still had to inherit this kind of help.

As for whether Wang Haitao has time to rush to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, it does not matter, the important thing is that he can get continued support from the Jurong base in the future. Therefore, Tan Zhenlin said to Wang Haitao with a smile: "General Wang doesn't need to be polite to us, speaking of which, we have been able to get the support of General Wang's Jurong Base in the past few years, but our New Fourth Army has to thank General Wang." Before I arrived, Commander Ye Ting, Deputy Commander Chen Yi, and Political Commissar Zhang Yunyi all asked me to greet General Wang on their behalf. At the same time, General Wang was also welcome to visit the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army. However, since General Wang has something important to do, it is inconvenient for us to be reluctant. ”

Wang Haitao naturally had to say a few polite words, and everyone chatted for a while, Wang Haitao suddenly remembered something, so he said to Tan Zhenlin: "By the way, Commander Tan, on the way here, I met a group of Japanese soldiers, protecting two Japanese geologists, who were surveying the distribution of minerals in Jiangxi. These mineral resources are all treasures that belong to China, and we must not let little Japan get them.

Fortunately, we were able to wipe out the Japanese army, capture the two Japanese geologists, and intercept a map of the mineral distribution of Jiangxi Province. I still have something to do, these two people and this map are inconvenient to move with us, now I want to transfer them to your New Fourth Army, and then you will transfer them to Yan'an?" After speaking, Wang Haitao looked at Tan Zhenlin expectantly.

Tan Zhenlin replied with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, just as General Wang said, these mineral resources belong to our treasures in China, how can we let Ri Yan get them? We will definitely send Renhe and Tu to Yan'an safely as Wang Haitao ordered." Please rest assured General Wang of this, I can assure General Wang. Wang Haitao said happily when he heard this: "That's good, that's good, I must be relieved of your work." ”

Everyone talked until late before they rested. The next morning, Wang Haitao said goodbye to Tan Zhenlin and others, assembled the team and left Tiancun. Wang Haitao and the others first went to the place where the truck was hidden, Wang Haitao found an opportunity to put all the vehicles into the storage ring, and then Wei Changxing led the reconnaissance company to explore the road in front, and the team advanced towards the Jurong base.

The troops crossed mountains and mountains along the way, avoided towns and roads as much as possible, and spent five days passing through the side of Huangshan Mountain and reaching the boundary of Jing County. After entering the boundary of Jing County, not to mention Wei Changxing, even Wang Haitao and most of the soldiers in the team were familiar with the terrain. When Wang Haitao left the county seat of Jing County, he also left a security brigade in Jing County, and the captain was an old man named Lin Yuxi from the original guard brigade.

When they arrived outside Jing County, Wang Haitao asked the troops to stop their advance and sent two reconnaissance teams into the county town to inquire about the situation. A few hours later, the two reconnaissance groups returned to the unit one after another and reported to Wang Haitao what they had discovered. After synthesizing the reports of the two reconnaissance groups, Wang Haitao gained some understanding of the situation in Jing County.

At present, Jing County belongs to the defense area of the 40th Division of the National Army, the headquarters of the 40th Division is in Nanling County, and only one regiment is stationed in the county seat of Jing County. The security brigade of Jing County still exists, but the captain is not Lin Yuxi, but a person named Zhou Kui. Because of the deep contradictions between the security brigade and the regiment of the 40th Division stationed, the two teams in Jing County were each in charge of half of the team, and no one was allowed to let anyone.

The people of Jing County basically support the security brigade, because the security brigade is still doing according to the rules set by Wang Haitao, and the members of the security brigade are basically locals, and the people will find the brigade headquarters of the security brigade for help when they have difficulties, and the security brigade can indeed stand up for the people, as much as possible to help the people, in order to help the people, the security brigade is not less troubled by the regiment stationed, the security brigade is also very strong, and the regiment stationed in the security brigade can not bear it.

After learning about the situation in Jing County, Wang Haitao became interested in Zhou Kui, the captain of the security brigade, according to the practice of the security brigade, this Zhou Kui should have a deep relationship with Lin Yuxi. Wang Haitao made a decision at that time, Feng Zisheng led his troops to camp on the spot, and he and Wei Changxing took the two reconnaissance teams that had entered the city and then entered the county seat.

Wang Haitao and his entourage of more than a dozen people, changed into civilian clothes, disguised as businessmen, and walked to the county seat of Jing County. They were going to enter the city through the south gate, and according to the report of the reconnaissance team, the south gate was controlled by the security brigade, and although there were checkpoints at the city gate, they never embarrassed the people. Wang Haitao and the others came to the gate of the city, the people were lining up to enter and exit from the gate, and there were several team members in dark gray uniforms standing on the sentry post, and two of them were carrying semi-automatic rifles.

When Wang Haitao and the others came to the city gate, two members of the team stepped forward to stop Wang Haitao, and one of them asked: "Stop, look at your faces, where did you come from? What are you doing?" Wang Haitao hugged his fists and said to the questioner: "This brother, we are from the south, we are doing business, passing through Jing County to stay for one night, and we will continue to travel tomorrow." ”

When the questioner heard this, he asked again: "What about the businessman?" Wang Haitao didn't have any road guide, stretched out his hand and took out some fiat currency from his arms and said: "A few brothers, I came from a far place in the south, and I don't understand the rules for the first time. As soon as the questioner heard that Wang Haitao had no way out, his face immediately turned cold.

With a wave of this person's hand, several team members next to him immediately pointed their guns at Wang Haitao and them, and this person said: "There is no way, you are still from the south, I see that you are eighty percent of the spies sent by Little Japan, big bolts, go search their bodies!" As soon as the people around Wang Haitao heard it wrong, they wanted to take the lead, but they were stopped by Wang Haitao.

Wang Haitao said calmly: "This brother, don't worry about it first. Before I came, a relative of the family said that he knew your captain and asked me to bring a letter to your captain. Please brother, give this letter to your captain first, and then it's not too late to say whether we are spies or not. After saying that, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over. The person who spoke also hesitated when he saw Wang Haitao's calm expression and the letter he took out.

After thinking for a while, the man said, "Okay, I'll go for a run, but I warn you, don't play any tricks!" After speaking, a few team members took a good look at Wang Haitao and them, and then took the letter and hurriedly ran to the city. This letter was written by Wang Haitao before he was ready to enter the city, and it was a letter greeting Lin Yuxi as Wang Haitao. This is also what Wang Haitao prepared just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used.

After a while, the messenger came to Wang Haitao at a trot and said to Wang Haitao: "This gentleman, our captain is invited. Please come with me!" After speaking, he asked the other team members to continue to stay at the sentry post, and he led Wang Haitao towards the city. After entering the city, Wang Haitao walked and saw that the city was more prosperous than when he left, and the people had many smiles on their faces and were neatly dressed. It can be seen that the magistrate of Jing County has managed Jing County well.

Soon this man led Wang Haitao and them to a courtyard, outside which there was a sentry and a wooden sign of "Jing County Security Brigade" hanging on the gate. This should be the headquarters of the security brigade. After walking into the courtyard, Wang Haitao saw that the courtyard was not small, there were some training equipment on the edge of the open space in the middle, and behind the open space was a second row of rooms, and people were busy in and out of the room.

This person said to Wang Haitao and them: "This, our captain is waiting for you in the back office, you come with me alone, and others will wait here first." After saying that, he walked to the back first. Wang Haitao made a hand gesture to his subordinates, asking them to wait for him with peace of mind, and then followed the person who led the way and strode towards the back.

This man took Wang Haitao to a room outside and shouted loudly: "Report to the captain, I brought the people." A loud voice came from the room, "Please come in." Wang Haitao and the person who led the way walked into the house, the room was not too big, there was a desk in the innermost, and a middle-aged man was standing behind the desk looking at him.

Wang Haitao took a few steps forward, clenched his fists and asked, "May I ask Your Excellency, is it Captain Zhou Kui?" The man looked at Wang Haitao in surprise and asked, "Who are you? How do you know that my name is Zhou Kui? The letter you brought was for Lin Yuxi." Wang Haitao laughed and said, "May I ask where Lin Yuxi is now? As long as I see Lin Yuxi, I will know who I am." ”

Wang Haitao was talking, and a person's voice came from the door: "Who wants to see me?" Wang Haitao turned around and saw that it was Lin Yuxi standing in front of him, and Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment after seeing Wang Haitao clearly, and shouted excitedly for a long time: "Junzao, are you really back? I didn't dream!" Wang Haitao took a few steps forward and said: "Captain Lin, it's me Wang Haitao who is back! I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing?"

After Lin Yuxi was pleasantly surprised, he stood up and saluted, and then said loudly: "Report, Lin Yuxi, the captain of the former Jing County Security Brigade, has seen the military seat!" Wang Haitao returned the military salute with a smile and asked, "What, why didn't you do it as the captain?" After asking, he glanced at Zhou Kui, who was stunned there. At this time, Lin Yuxi cleaned up his excitement and said, "Military seat, please sit down first, I will tell you about this slowly." Let me introduce it first. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yuxi first asked Wang Haitao to sit down on the chair, and then said to Zhou Kui, who was still sluggish: "Zhou Kui, haven't you been talking about wanting to see the military seat? This is the military commander Wang Haitao you want to see!" Zhou Kui came back to his senses and said: "God! You are the military commander Wang, why didn't you say it earlier?" After speaking, he also stood upright, saluted and said: "Report, Zhou Kui, the captain of the Jing County Security Brigade, has seen the military seat!"
