"Lao Luo, when I was talking to Mayor Chen just now, Zhou Baichuan, who was standing behind him, wanted to speak several times, and gave you several looks, but you glared back. Why, you know?"

When he came to the courtyard outside, Zhang Qingshan took out a cigarette, handed Luo Yingjie a root, and lit one himself.

"Commander, I not only know Lao Dao, but we are also very good friends, and he not only saved my life, but also often supported our guerrillas. ”

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"At the beginning, when I was the captain of the guerrilla brigade, once, I was accidentally betrayed by a traitor, I was surrounded, the comrades broke through separately, I was shot in the right arm, and I ran all the way, it happened that he took the caravan to Sanqiao County to sell, and then he was rescued. Since then, we've had a relationship. Over the years, he has continued to support us, whether it is weapons, ammunition, money and food, and sometimes, without me asking, he takes the initiative to send us......"

"So, he intends to approach you?" Zhang Qingshan didn't believe that the other party approached him without a purpose, after all, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. What's more, the slogan and policy of 'I'd rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let one go' put forward by Lao Jiang at that time was definitely not a joke. In that case, how many earth emperors would dare to do this?

He said bluntly at the time, saying that he was cooperating with us, and he was doing this now in the hope of leaving a way back for himself and his family, hoping that one day in the future, when he was in trouble, we could reach out to help...... This time, I brought him here. Speaking of this, Luo Yingjie bowed his head and said: "Regiment leader, I am in charge of this matter privately, and I ask you to criticize it." ”

"Lao Luo, what you did right this time, what is there to criticize?" Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "Our Communist Eighth Route Army is not made of stone, and it also has seven emotions and six desires, and it also understands gratitude." He has helped us so much, and now that we have difficulties to ask for help, as long as we do not violate the party, government, and military regulations, we should repay him this great favor. What's more, this is a big deal to fight devils, taking into account both public and private interests, and unanimously dealing with little devils, it is very correct, not only should we help, but also thank them for their help to us over the years. ”

Luo Yingjie raised his head abruptly, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked a little excitedly: "Regiment leader, so you want to fight?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded and said, "The fight is absolutely necessary, but how to play has to be discussed." ”

"Yes! I know. ”

"However, Lao Luo, you tell me the truth, this Zhou Baichuan, I think he has an extraordinary bearing, and he has the taste of a good man. Do you think it's possible for us to pull him into the line?"

"Commander, pulling him into the team can definitely pull him into the team, but ......" Speaking of this, Luo Yingjie took a puff of cigarette, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "However, I suggest that you don't pull him into the team, but cooperate with him, but it is more appropriate to come." ”

"Why?"

"In terms of personality, Lao Dao is indeed righteous, and his grievances are clear, but first, he has been unrestrained since he was a child, and he can't stand constraints...... In terms of big things, the current strength of our assault regiment is only half a catty compared with the little devil in front of him, even if the old knife does not think about himself, he has to consider thousands of people in his Zhoujia Village, if he brings someone over, the little devil will definitely retaliate against them Zhoujia Village, and at that time, I am afraid it will affect our overall situation...... So, my personal suggestion is to work with him instead of inviting him to join. ”

Luo Yingjie really can speak, not to mention anything else, the second big point he wants to say, although it is a bit verbose, but the meaning is very clear: our assault group can't do the little devil now, if there are one or two people, it's okay to say, but there are thousands of people in Zhoujia Village, and they can't give up their ancestral inheritance, and they all move to our base here or in the rear。 Besides, that big gold mine, in the end, but we Chinese, we have to give up, let the little devil pick up the cheap in vain, it is too cost-effective. It's better to cooperate with them, in this way, there are many benefits, not only can we plant a big nail in the territory of the little devil, but also, our economy is also lively......

To put it bluntly, their own strength is not enough to make the other party believe that they can defeat the little devil, so it is better to cooperate.

Zhang Qingshan is such a smart person, he immediately figured out the doorway here. Immediately nodded with a smile and said, "It makes sense, then cooperate first, and when there is a chance in the future, I am inviting them to join our Eighth Route Army." ”

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan had found himself under the steps by pushing the boat down the river, Luo Yingjie immediately smiled and said, "The head of the regiment is wise." When we let them see the power of our assault group, I believe they will naturally make a wise choice. ”

"Lao Luo, how much do you know about the situation in Baoyuan County and Matou Town?"

Luo Yingjie thought for a while and said, "Regiment Commander, to be honest, in the past, I took our Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade to Baoyuan County, and rarely went to Baoyuan County to carry out activities, that is, when I had to do so, I would temporarily go there to avoid the limelight......"

Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly, and interrupted: "Didn't we develop it in Baoyuan County?"

"Because there are many gold mines in Baoyuan County, although there are many powerful people, after all, it depends on the people to open mines for them, so relatively speaking, the people live better than the surrounding people. In addition, the clan concept in Baoyuan County is very serious, the thinking is very conservative, and it is very grouped, so it is somewhat difficult for us to carry out our work, although there is a guerrilla force, but the number is small and the strength is weak, and in the end, it merged with our Sanqiao County guerrilla brigade. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded and said, "You continue the topic just now." ”

"Since our assault group came, because we started from scratch, we have been focusing on the three surrounding counties, and we have paid much less attention to the farther Baoyuan County, so the news in Baoyuan County has been a little less...... Commander, this is my dereliction of duty as an intelligence officer, and I ask you to punish me. ”

"I don't blame you, if you want to blame me, the head of the regiment, I don't have a strong view of the overall situation, and I only have my own one-third of an acre in my eyes...... At best, you're not helpful, and I'm going to blame you, and I'm going to take the main responsibility......"

That's the big truth. Not to mention Luo Yingjie, even Zhang Qingshan himself is like this, and the attention has been in the surrounding three counties. In Zhang Qingshan's words, "Baba should be eaten one bite at a time, and don't think of becoming a big fat man by eating in one go." Therefore, everyone is accustomed to paying much less attention to the places where the strength cannot be reached.

"Well, now is not the time to hold accountable. Seeing that Luo Yingjie was about to speak, Zhang Qingshan did not give him a chance to interrupt and said: "Didn't you just say that the former guerrilla brigade in Baoyuan County and Sanqiao County were merged? Well, you should immediately select a group of capable people, and then select a group of locals from Baoyuan County from the guerrilla brigade, immediately enter Baoyuan County, and establish an intelligence network as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

"Also, the first step now is to find out the truth or falsehood of what Mayor Chen and Zhou Baichuan said, and reply as soon as possible. As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan said: "This is related to the direction and focus of our commando regiment's next step, and we must not be careless." ”

Saying that, Zhang Qingshan sighed with deep emotion: "This world is too chaotic, not only the environment is chaotic, but people's hearts are also chaotic. Our assault regiment can't afford to be a big toss, everything must be true or false, otherwise, it is likely that the wolf will not be hit, but the wolf will be eaten. ”

With such an obvious reminder, Luo Yingjie naturally understood the true meaning of these words. Glanced at Zhang Qingshan in some surprise, and when he saw Zhang Qingshan looking over, he hurriedly saluted: "Yes!"

Seeing that Luo Yingjie was about to leave after saluting, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly stopped him: "Why are you going?"

"Commander, you didn't call me ......"

"I told you to act immediately, but I didn't tell you to go now, wouldn't you send someone to talk to Captain Li Hua and Deputy Director Chen Xin of the county guerrilla brigade, and tell them to prepare their own manpower immediately...... Later, you may need to calm their emotions and explain the situation to them tactfully. After pacifying them, you can take the assembled people down the mountain overnight to carry out the mission. ”

"Hey, Commander, you still know how to calculate, and every second counts against people and time. ”

"Get out!"

The two of them were discussing and arranging outside, while inside the house, the conversation between Hu Yingze and the four of them seemed much more pleasant, and it was obvious that the communication was very smooth.

Soon, Old Mayor Chen and Old Daozi sent Luo Yingjie and Tian Guozhong out.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while before parting.

And Zhang Qingshan gave Luo Yingjie a look, and Luo Yingjie naturally turned around very handfully to accompany the Chen family's son-in-law into the house.

"Lao Hu, how is the situation?"

Hu Yingze put away his smiling face, shook his head positively, and said, "It's not very good!"

Seeing the laughter and laughter you are chatting in it, why is there such a big contrast after it comes out?

Thinking about it, Zhang Qingshan glanced at Tian Guozhong on the side, and after seeing Tian Guozhong shaking his head, indicating that Hu Yingze was not joking, Zhang Qingshan asked in some surprise, "What's the matter?"

The old knife said that in the evening ten days ago, he saw with his own eyes a large number of little devils, with many weapons, entering the county seat of Baoyuan County, the number of which was estimated to be thousands of people...... It was precisely because of the arrival of this group of little devil reinforcements that they did not dare to act rashly. ”

Zhang Qingshan's brows furrowed suddenly: "In other words, there is another big battle?"

"Hmm!" Hu Yingze nodded, and said with a straight face: "The three of us should go to the command post to discuss, how to fight this battle!"

After coming to the command post, the process of discussion was not smooth, first of all: because of the lack of attention to Baoyuan County and the backward intelligence, everyone debated about whether these thousands of little devil reinforcements were real reinforcements or a trick played by little devils, in order to scare the assault regiment and deter the local local snakes. Of course, it is only a matter of debate, after all, it needs to be implemented.

At the meeting, an assumption was also made, if this group of little devil reinforcements was fake, it would be better, but in case it was true, how the assault group should deal with it was another discussion: Tian Guozhong advocated defense, and Zhang Qingshan advocated attack. But in the end, it was not decided.

However, it was decided that Luo Yingjie would immediately send a group of elite intelligence personnel to Baoyuan County to set up an intelligence network...... At the same time, in order to solve the problem of comfort women, it is necessary to send an elite force to make trouble for the little devils, so that the little devils can understand that although you have temporarily occupied this Chinese land, there will never be a time when you can do whatever you want.

This elite unit with a heavy responsibility, needless to say, can only be - an assault company!
