"Comrade Liu Hai, welcome!" The No. 1 leader said in a solemn tone, "Now we will strive for the same goal, I hope you can make persistent efforts to make new contributions to our cause!" "Yes! Heads! Ask the chief to give the task! Liu Hai saluted and said. Your task will be talked about in a while, first talk about the reorganization of the Fourth Division of Honor, according to common sense, we will appoint a political commissar for every unit that surrenders or revolts, and now the Fourth Division of Honor has changed into the Eighth Division directly under the Northeast Bureau, my idea is that Liu Xiaoshan will serve as the chief of staff, but Ge Yumin of the General Staff will serve as the political commissar, and the reorganization work will be carried out in an all-round way, so that this army can become a strong force under the leadership of the party in the shortest possible time! And you are the commander of the eighth division, what do you think? "Yes, I promise they will follow the organization's arrangement!" Bangs said.

"Now the Northeast is initially decided, and it is very unstable, especially those bandits, which are simply blooming everywhere and very troublesome, but the central government has asked us to enter the customs as soon as possible to help in the war, but without a stable rear, it is impossible for the People's Liberation Army to enter the customs on a large scale, so the task I give you now is to eliminate the bandits in the Northeast, and you will command your Eighth Division to be responsible, is there a problem?" Chief One said. "No problem!" Liu Hai said excitedly, I really didn't expect that the organization would let me command this army! "Don't agree so happily first, this bandit battle is not as good as the fight on the battlefield, there are many limitations and practical difficulties, this task is actually not very easy, because your troops can be invincible when the two armies face each other, but when encountering this kind of thing, it is not necessarily very simple! Let me give you an introduction to the current situation of bandits in the Northeast, I hope you can understand! Chief No. 1 said, bringing bangs to a large map!

"There is no longer a regular army in the Northeast, but the Kuomintang has incorporated and appointed a large number of all kinds of bandit leaders, such as what grass flies, rolling thunder and the like, all of which have been reorganized into what the National Salvation Army, what what the general commander-in-chief and the like, there are a very small number of bandits occupying several county towns and towns, and even equipped with heavy artillery, we used to fight with the Kuomintang in full swing, these bandits were frightened and inexplicable, and did not dare to help, but now this gang of people has come out again, robbing businessmen, robbing and killing passers-by, tying meat tickets, Some of them also took the initiative to attack our grassroots units and sabotage the work of our cadres, which had a great impact and great destructive power, and it was necessary to carry out a bloody purge of these people, and your Fourth Division of Honor never left prisoners in the War of Resistance against Japan, I hope you can carry forward this tradition to the war against bandits, and crack down on these lawless bandits! In fact, when we first entered the Northeast, we suppressed bandits for a while, and eliminated many bandits before and after, but for those large bandit groups that were bought by the Kuomintang, there has been no time and excess troops to clean them up, and now there is more than enough troops, but the Liaoshen Campaign has just been completed, and all kinds of work are complicated, and the main force has to be repaired and ready to enter the customs, so I want to hand over this task to your Eighth Division to complete! Chief One said. Hehe, please rest assured, if you give us the opportunity to be reborn as the fourth division of honor, I will also tell you with practical actions that it is worth it! Bangs said, "Resolutely complete the task!" ”

"Master Liu!" Ge Yumin, the political commissar assigned to the Eighth Division, introduced the situation of several bandits to Liu Hai, and Liu Hai shook his head with a wry smile after hearing the title of Division Commander Liu, and he went from division commander to instructor, and from instructor to division commander. "Don't underestimate these bandits, these bandits are not said to be able to be alone, basically everyone can do two hits, and the combat effectiveness is very tenacious, when we suppressed the bandits, we didn't suffer less!" , Next, this Ge Yumin told Liu Hai about the situation of bandits in the Northeast and the encirclement and suppression! Bandits in the Northeast Northeast bandits can be roughly divided into three types throughout the Republic of China period. The first is pure banditry, that is, Redbeard. The main activities of this kind of bandit are smashing rich households, robbing and buying and selling, kidnapping people's tickets, beating officers and soldiers, and burning and killing people and committing adultery in the process. The second is armed banditry. Most of these bandits have political affiliations or aims. or to take revenge on the society, or to take revenge on the gentry; Some use bandits to develop their power, hoping to recruit an official; Some defected to the Japanese army and fought for the tiger; Those who have been liquidated by the land reform of the people's power must engage in class revenge; Those who were appointed to the rank of military by the Kuomintang were determined to sabotage the revolution. The third type is called the sticker. These bandits have no firearms and only rob the road with wooden sticks; The number of people is small, sometimes 1 person, sometimes several people, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering. Most of the targets of their robberies are single pedestrians and small households. The large group of bandits, also known as "slippers", have a relatively complete set of organizations and rules. At present, the overall situation is good, there are no bandits in the main areas of the northeast, but there are about a dozen bandits on the Sino-Russian border and the border with Inner Mongolia, and the smallest has thousands of guns, and this time the task of the Eighth Division is these people!

"Got it, easy task!" Liu Hai said lightly, he already understood the meaning of the No. 1 chief: If you become a soldier, you have to fight. However, the No. 1 leader arranged such a task for the Eighth Division, which was sincere respect for himself, and the Eighth Division was unwilling to fight a civil war, so he went to suppress the bandits, not only taking care of the emotions of the Eighth Division, but also arranging work for himself! Liu Hai, who was disdainful of this kind of thing, rushed to the station of the Eighth Division with great interest. After arriving, Liu Xiaoshan and the others had already completed their costume changes, all of them were fresh and excited, especially when Liu Xiaoshan heard that Liu Hai was going to serve as the chief officer of his own army, he jumped even more happily. What touched Liu Hai the most was that even the weapons and equipment were the original weapons and equipment of the troops! "The No. 1 leader is really good!" , Liu Hai was grateful, and told Liu Xiaoshan and the others that this time to exterminate the bandits in the rear, they must do a good job, otherwise they would really have no face to see the No. 1 leader! And political commissar Ge Yumin was responsible for collecting intelligence and mobilizing the masses, and soon the specific task came!

In the northwest of Beiman, there is a place called Bears Ears Mountain, where there is a large group of bandits, the leader is called the Sentinel, its strength is about 2,000 people, and the heavy weapons are the heavy artillery in this Bears Ears Mountain! This Bears Ears Mountain was a base for the Japanese army to defend against the Soviet attack, all underground fortifications and reinforced concrete, and its basement also stored a large number of weapons and ammunition! This group of bandits relied on their dangerous terrain and strong fortifications, which were very rampant, and the nearby county towns were only harmed, and even the county magistrate's wife was ruined to death! The sentinels are high in the sky and the emperor is far away, and no party, government, and military orders and Zhao'an are ignored, and the Kuomintang commissioners were all hung up and burned! The surrounding crowd hated and feared the sentry soldiers, and in order to deter the bandits in the Northeast, the first task was to eliminate the sentry soldiers in Bears Ears Mountain! After reading the information, Liu Hai didn't feel a little frowned, because he honestly hadn't suppressed bandits like this, and they were all reinforced concrete permanent fortifications, and there was actually an underground part, the most depressing thing was that this place was high and densely forested, and it was easy to think of the original attack on Songshan in Burma, at that time, there were countless casualties, if it really fought like that, his eighth division would definitely not be able to suppress the two bandits and die!

"Everyone, pay attention, this bandit occupies an excellent terrain, we must pay attention to casualties, take out the method of fighting Songshan back then, step by step, break through one by one, charge less, use more * and artillery, this is our first battle after the adaptation, we must play brilliantly, it is your Liu Xiaoshan's business to charge, you go up with me to observe closely, and formulate a specific attack plan!" Liu Hai didn't need any process to command the Eighth Division, one person kicked it over and started the meeting! "Don't worry, a bunch of bandits will scatter as birds and beasts after a few robberies!" Liu Xiaoshan still doesn't care! "Not necessarily, these bandits are all relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and the water, if they don't have this mountain, they will starve to death, and they may not be so easy to quit!" The ghost cannon said, "You kid is the eldest young master, you are used to saying such unreliable things!" "Comrade!" Liu Xiaoshan walked over seriously, "The regiment has no respect for the brigade, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you with hundreds of military sticks?" "Lao Tzu is now the People's Liberation Army, and the People's Liberation Army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, so don't come here!" The ghost cannon is still a pawn ruffian! "Hit hit! Kill one less and save someone from grabbing credit! "Fat Wu is pouting beside him! Liu Hai watched these people fart here, and found the feeling of being a teacher again, and shook his head with a wry smile, these people are still a bird when they are in the People's Liberation Army, if they change the division commander, I am afraid they will be killed! For this point, the No. 1 leader also considered it, so he painstakingly arranged for Liu Hai to participate in political study, join the Communist Party of China, and then command this army! Because according to tradition, it is the party that commands the gun, and Liu Hai joined the Communist Party to truly count this army as the party's arm!

"Division commander, why do you look like a ruffian, are you reliable?" Ge Yumin asked Liu Hai when he was with Liu Hai and Liu Xiaoshan when he approached Bears Ears Mountain to observe. "Don't worry, the political commissar, they will be like this in front of me, you will understand when you start the battle, they are all tricky and brave, when the battle of Changsha was fought, Liu Xiaoshan couldn't advance a single step in a battalion to the death of a Japanese brigade for a whole day, so he could only pile up there and let Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery be used as a target, you just see!" Bangs said confidently. As soon as he finished speaking, a group of cavalry sprang out from behind a mountain bag on the right flank of the group, about 100 horsemen, all of them with two-handed shell guns, and they looked like bandits. "Division commander, you go quickly, the other party is a cavalry, in case it is difficult to get out, I will take the guard company to cover you!" The commissar was anxious as soon as he saw it! "Don't be impatient!" Liu Hai waved his hand calmly, "Liu Xiaoshan, catch one alive, and kill all the rest!" "Understood!" As soon as Liu Xiaoshan waved his hand, dozens of people under him rushed up with Liu Xiaoshan.
