Chapter 9: Behind Enemy Lines (5)

Mo Di found that the speed of the march was not very fast, there were horses and carts, and very little luggage was thrown on the carriage in which he slept, and most of the brothers on the march carried only one southern sixteen pistol, all pinned in civilian clothes, wearing straw hats on their heads, and leather shoes on their feet, and did not look like too many soldiers. The horse that Chen Zhengxin rode before was originally the only one prepared for Mo Di. The coachman rode for a while, and when he saw that everyone else was walking, they all looked at him with blank eyes, and were so frightened that he did not dare to ride any more, so he got out of the carriage, walked with the soldiers, gave up his horses, and put his luggage for the others.

After walking for a long time, eating Chinese food in a place called Gaowu, the coachman is also a talent, and he is familiar with each other, and soon he put out two tables of good food and a jar of wine. When he saw the wine, he smiled and said, "I want to drink a little, there is a way to return to the soul wine, the more you drink, the more you have." Chen Zhengxin looked at Mo Di like a ghost, he was drunk like that last night, and he still drank when he woke up, this is also a hero in wine!

Mo Di is not so heroic, he made a bull's-eye cup, drank a cup more difficult than drinking medicine, and never drank it again, it seems that the so-called soul wine is completely just a meaning. Mo Di didn't drink it, and neither did the others, so he quickly ate the rice in the bowl, rested for a while, and prepared to continue on the road.

"Where are we going today?" Mo Di asked.

"I wanted to rush to Taihu Lake, but I was afraid that it would be too late." Chen Zhengxin said.

"It's definitely too late!" The driver interjected loudly and said: "There are still eighty miles from here to Taihu Lake, and when we go to Taihu Lake, I am afraid that the sky will be dark, so we can walk this way and walk to the Zhao family's house by the Changhe River as soon as possible." Even when we walked to the river, there was no ferry to take us across the river. ”

"Oh! Then where we go, Boss Che, I'm afraid that you will have to eat and sleep with us. Mo Di said.

"It's not difficult to find a place to stay along the way, but it's difficult to find a good hotel, don't worry, come with me, there will be food and drink." The car boss said very heroically.

Mo Di nodded, General Ye Jianying was right on Hengshan, if you have a good relationship with the common people and establish a relationship between fish and water, you will not be hungry and frozen, and it will not be difficult to survive.

"Is it so far from here to Taihu Lake?" Chen Zhengxin asked the coachman.

The coachman did not answer, but replied, "You don't know? Didn't you take this path when you came? ”

Chen Zhengxin nodded and said, "When we came, we walked the stone pai, and I heard the locals say that it was closer to Wangjiang Huayang, but I didn't expect it to be so close." ”

"Then why don't we go back the way we came?" It's no surprise.

"We're going to the Taihu Brigade Headquarters first." Chen Zhengxin replied: "The Suizao War has been fought for more than half a month, and it is very tight, and the Seventh Army has also been transferred, and now only our 49th Army is left in the entire western Anhui and eastern Hubei provinces. The army commander was guarding Lihuang, the division commander went to Lu'an, the brigade commander took the 1051st regiment to Yuexi, and only Chief of Staff Li led our regiment's noble battalion to Taihu. Chief of Staff Li said, when I will pick you up, I will send you to Taihu Lake first, and then it is up to you whether you stay in Taihu Lake or go to Qianshan. ”

Mo Di gasped, a large area of Nuoda is actually guarded by a 48th Army, which is too vast and sparsely populated! If the Japanese army in Anqing comes out to find trouble, I am afraid that I can't stand it, fortunately the Huangmei in the west is still in the hands of friendly troops, otherwise I can only run to Tianzhu Mountain to be a mountain mouse. Speaking of friendly troops, Mo Di suddenly thought of the New Fourth Army stationed around Chaohu, and the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army and the Jiangbei detachment were also friendly troops! Yun Yinglin and Huang Tianhua regressed so much in the negotiation with Zhang Yunyi, is it also to seek compromise!

Thinking of this, Mo Di couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to Taihu Lake to immediately understand the battle situation and the current situation. Perhaps seeing Mo Di's uneasiness, Chen Zhengxin asked a soldier to ride a war horse and gallop to Taihu Lake to report to Chief of Staff Li to see if he could find a car to pick him up at Taihu Lake and strive to reach Taihu Lake this evening.

In the past two years, he has seen Chen Zhengxin grow from a rural gangster to a grassroots military camp, and he is still quite good. He is different from himself, he is a regular student who was drawn to the Nanning Military Academy by the militia for training, and has a graduation certificate from the Nanning Military Academy, that is, the ninth branch of the Central Military Academy, and has a bright future.

After eating, the speed of the march was much slower, walking is definitely not able to reach Taihu Lake, if you want to rush to Taihu Lake you have to see if there is a car, since there are cars, there is no difference between walking more than three or five miles and walking three or five miles less, three or five miles is just a foot of oil for cars.

After sitting in the car for a long time, Mo Di no longer relied on the carriage, got the grass off it, sorted it out, and piled up the soldiers' luggage, the coachman was still leading the horse below, walking in the head to lead the way, Mo Di and Chen Zhengxin walked side by side behind the carriage, running and talking, and the conversation was still this time the troop movement.

"Originally, I wanted to transfer us to Suizhou, but as a result, Director Tang of the Intelligence Department of the Group Army didn't know where to find out that as soon as we left, Gao Jingting of the New Fourth Army would lead the army back to the area of Yuexi Huoshan and build their Dabie Mountain base again, so that Commander Liao left our army behind to strictly prevent the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army from returning to Taibie Mountain." Chen Zhengxin said.

Mo Di nodded and said: "Dabie Mountain was originally Gao Jingting's old nest, if he is allowed to enter Dabie Mountain again, it will be a fish into the sea, and he can't get out." ”

"yes!" Chen Zhengxin said: "After Yang Kezhi arrived at Qianshan, I chatted with him for a long time, and he was very much in favor of Gao Jingting returning to Dabie Mountain. Wang Ming, the leader of the Yangtze River Bureau, believes that the revolutionary situation has undergone tremendous changes, and now is the time for national unity to jointly confront the enemy, and that it is necessary to unite with all armies and departments, and that it is completely wrong to stop fighting our own little Jiujiu and to engage in sectarianism. Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, also held this viewpoint, holding that Gao Jingting's intention to return to Dabie Mountain was to create an independent royal regiment and to break away from the unified leadership of the New Fourth Army, and that it was split, reactionary, and opportunistic. Yang Kezhi also knew that his departure was because the fourth detachment fell for Gong Qingyuan's trick, but he was very happy to fall for this plan, he told me that without this reason, he couldn't leave the New Fourth Army, and with the New Fourth Army, he was already precarious. Gao Jingting only has his own descendants, and he has to do everything by himself, but Dai Jiying regards himself as a thorn in the flesh, trying to get rid of himself and then quickly, constantly setting up a situation, wanting to hate Gao Jingting and be grateful to Dai Jiying, if he doesn't switch to his camp, it will only be a dead end. This time, Gong Qingyuan's discord plan was not clever, but Gao Jingting couldn't withstand Dai Jiying's pressing step by step, and finally killed himself. He also knew that he couldn't die this time, and at the last critical moment, Dai Jiying would definitely come forward to protect himself and make himself grateful to Dade again. I'm tired of it, I don't want to be with them anymore, I want to find a place where I can fight Japan, and I want to fight with the Japanese with real guns! ”

After listening to Chen Zhengxin's words, Mo Di knew that these things were far from being as simple as he knew, and Yang Kezhi's defection to his camp was tantamount to a heavy blow to Gao Jingting, and it was also a humiliation for the New Fourth Army. As long as he still needs to maintain a certain amount of contact with the New Fourth Army, he is afraid that Yang Kezhi will not be able to be reused, and his plan to ask him to be the deputy regiment commander will only fail. Looking around him, the deputy head of the regiment and the chief of staff did not have a suitable person, and he didn't know who would be sent to him from above.

After walking for a while, the sun was about to sink in the west, a group of people walked weakly, staggered, a straggler image, only to see a Nissan rabbit swaying on the road, all the soldiers shouted in unison, suddenly burst out of unprecedented passion, and ran in the direction of the car.

Loaded the luggage on the carriage into the car, gave the driver the money promised to be sent to Taihu Lake, everyone got into the car, Mo Di was pushed by Chen Zhengxin to the passenger seat and sat down, and said "Leave!" "The car starts.

Smoothly crossed the long river at the downstream pontoon, and the car finally arrived at Taihu Lake before the arrival of night. Chief of Staff Li Songde had already prepared a table of good dishes in the canteen to welcome Mo Di's arrival at the city gate.

Seeing the image of Li Songde stretching his neck, Mo Di couldn't help laughing, and said to the driver: "Drive the car quickly in front of your chief of staff, and make a sudden brake to scare him." ”

The driver smiled, drove the car slowly in front of Li Songde, stopped, and asked him to scare the chief of staff, he didn't dare to borrow a gut, if he made a mistake and cleaned up the chief of staff, it would be hell.

Seeing Mo Di jumping out of the car, Li Songde's eyes suddenly lit up, he rushed up two steps, hugged Mo Di up, and shouted: "Tianzong, you're back!" That's fine, the sky can't fall! ”

Mo Di laughed, broke free from Li Songde's bear embrace, and said: "When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, you are taller than me, and you will be the first to fall down." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go first." Li Songde took Mo Enemy's hand and walked side by side towards the city, not far from the city gate, it was the brigade headquarters of the 526 Brigade, but the brigade commander had left, and there was a house and a chief of staff Li Songde who was alone in the empty room.

Gao Guixuan waited at the door, and as soon as Mo Di arrived, he immediately brought a basin of warm water, with a clean towel on the edge of the basin, and he was so excited that he trembled: "Boss, it's been more than half a year, but I miss us to death!" ”

Mo Di took the basin in the main noble player, and looked at the second battalion commander in front of him, this guy who was still very dissatisfied with himself when he first came, has completely integrated into his team, and it seems that his image in front of him has completely changed.

patting Gao Guixuan's shoulder, Mo Di smiled and said, "It's hard work!" ”

Gao Guixuan seemed to have been shocked, and his boss finally accepted himself.
