February 1943, New Year's Day.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Yuan Shu, who had been named Zeng Dazhai, from the border area, saying that although he was now under quarantine review, his heart was extremely stable and plump, and he also said that his identity had been verified and successfully entered Hu Deyou's identity into the list of underground workers, and said that after the victory, he would no longer do espionage work, but wanted to stay in the border area to teach children to read and write.

And there is also a red metal five-pointed star attached to the letter, although Hu Deyou doesn't know whether this is a token or a souvenir, but he is very careful to put these East XZ in the most hidden and safe place.

He was not afraid that Yuan Shu would write to him and expose him, because the current SH has been unimaginably chaotic, Wang Puppet has encountered unprecedented huge losses from the Japanese since he entered the financial depression last year, the Japanese army in China has almost halved, and guerrillas are popping up everywhere in the occupied area, and they have completely abandoned the control of Wang Puppet.

The whole SH beach is in chaos, selling children and daughters has become the norm, and the underworld is even more rampant to the point of outrageousness, Wang Pseudo knows that there is probably not much time left for them, so he took advantage of the time when the Japanese relaxed their supervision and began to resell military supplies frantically, almost all warehouses let them be sold short, and they also picked the Red Army to sell, because the Red Army's conscience is not slippery and will not seize the materials, bald is not good, half of the sale has to be deducted by him, and the remaining half is paid in eight installments, and finally relies on Sancheng's account.

In the past, they were secretly selling, but now they are basically pouring materials out in three shifts, and then through Hu Deyou's transportation network, they are leading to base areas all over the country.

Do they know that Hu Deyou is a member of the Arab Communist Party? In fact, everyone tacitly knew it, but they saw that the good wine, good cigarettes, gold bars and Stippunk that were sent over every once in a while and even sent their families abroad had a ticket to send their family members abroad, which was protecting this God of Wealth from top to bottom, even if the Japanese occasionally came to check, Wang Pseudo's people would push out a few people to block Hu Deyou for the dead ghosts.

What is the most exaggerated? Even now, the three units of No. 76, the Information Bureau, and the Secret Bureau are full of Hu Deyou's private troops, and a few days ago, the new director of the Information Bureau came to him to ask for some money to go back to pay his salary.

Sometimes when these intelligence leaders meet, they will talk about something, such as "After arresting G bandits for so many years, the money is gone, the people are gone, and the land is gone, and I can live safely to this day thanks to Brother Hu's generosity, I don't know if my Brother Hu is a G bandit?" Even if it's just me and the two of them, I'll only suspect that I might be a G bandit."

Hu Deyou's biggest recent business was to transport 300,000 weapons from Wang's puppet warehouse to the border area, which the Japanese did not know, and then exchanged a large number of commodities from the border area, and these goods were collected in Hu Deyou's warehouse for distribution.

There are 300,000 guns and countless bullets, if you want to buy them, you can't buy them for ten times the money, but now Wang Pseudo These dog things belong to the typical kind of cubs who don't feel sorry for Ye Tian, and seeing that the Japanese are no longer good, they all began to find a way back for themselves.

Hu Deyou put away Yuan Shu's letter, stood on the Waibaidu Bridge where Lu Yiping jumped into the river, wearing a luxurious German coat, and a car behind him followed him slowly throughout the whole process, even if the Japanese soldiers on patrol saw him, they needed to go around to the side, after all, this uncle's license plate is now in SH, which is a bright pass, even if the Japanese want to pass through the red zone, they have to ask him to help.

At this moment, Yuan Shu was eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the cave in the border area, and the old and young families had already come, although the food was not the same grade as when he was in SH, but he seemed extremely satisfied and happy here.

Sitting next to him is his guide Mr. Pan, although the two are still in the stage of isolation and review, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing, Yuan Shu drank a lot of wine at night, this is something he has not dared to do before, because of the fear of drunken gaffes, so his nerves in the enemy-occupied area in those years have always collapsed, and now he has completely let go, he can accept it no matter what happens in the future, even if he is allowed to go to prison and be shot, at least he is calm and does not have to be afraid.

"Brother Han Nian, this cup is a sacrificial comrade." Yuan Shu's eyes were already red when he lifted the wine glass, and then he couldn't say half a sentence anymore.

After a long time, Mr. Pan next to him patted Yuan Shu's shoulder and said, "It's all over." ”

"Not yet, there are still many of our comrades who are still in purgatory." Yuan Shu rubbed his nose and straightened up: "The comrades who sent our family here are now broken from the upper and lower lines, but they are still fighting there alone." You see, what we eat and drink now is all that he moved from SH little by little. ”

"You're talking about Comrade Xiaohu, I've heard of this person, and he's really a powerful person. I have explained the situation to several leading comrades, and we must let this person survive safely. The leaders also knew it, and they got Xiaohu's information from Commander Ye as early as the end of 1941, but Commander Ye didn't know that Xiaohu was actually my internal comrade, and he had been trying to get him to join the organization. ”

"And Tian Wen, my old classmate. He committed suicide by ingesting cyanide, and his body has not been found until now. ”

Yuan Shu couldn't cry when he said this, he was a person who had been in the enemy camp for 12 years and had seen all the winds and waves, and he was crying like a child at this moment, with snot and tears mixed together.

"Don't worry, I have already reported the situation, Mr. Mao pondered for a long time after hearing about it, and said that if he wins in the future, he will erect a monument in the heart of the country, and the words "people's heroes will be immortal" written on it. At that time, Mr. Mao also wrote the content of an inscription, and I copied a copy on my body. ”

Mr. Pan took out the cheat sheet he had copied from his arms, flipped to the page and handed it to Yuan Shu.

"Over the past three years, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution have been immortalized! Over the past 30 years, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution have been immortalized! Dating back to 1,840 years, since then, in order to oppose internal and external enemies, and to fight for national independence and the freedom and happiness of the people, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in all the struggles are immortal! ”

Yuan Shu took the transcript and looked at it again and again, and when he saw that he couldn't contain his emotions at all, he cried hoarsely while holding the notebook.

It's just that there is no victory yet, far from enough. This is clear to everyone, the future must still be bumpy, and there will be enemies here and there, so it is too early to celebrate.

And they are like pioneers groping their way in the dark, knowing that the slightest carelessness will lead to falling into the abyss, but they do not hesitate to hold on to their staff, just because they always believe that the sun will eventually rise and the darkness will be removed.

At this moment, the major bases are also celebrating the New Year, and this is the best year they have had in the past few years.

Old Wu has already returned to the rear at this time, but he can't eat this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, looking at the table of good dishes, thinking that the more than 10,000 brothers who were born and died with him can no longer eat, Lao Wu's heart is very uncomfortable.

The revenge is not over yet, why can't this man come back......

He really wants to lead the soldiers to fight the devil again, this time he will definitely not feel sorry for the shells and bullets anymore, let the brothers have enough fun, as long as they can come back!

"Old Wu, why don't you move your chopsticks." The comrade next to him asked with concern, "Are you homesick?" ”

"Home? The family has already fucking let the devil get rid of it. Lao Wu said angrily: "What does it mean to arrange for me to be in the rear now?" Wouldn't I just have a broken arm, and I wouldn't be able to use a knife when I went to battle! ”

The division commander next to him, who was also wounded and rotated, sighed silently: "Don't expect it for the time being, the boss won't let us the wounded go to the front line again, I chatted with the equipment department some time ago, and said that the boss decided to transfer you to the arsenal as the factory director." ”

"Lao Tzu is not going!" Lao Wu used his remaining hand to buckle the rice on the table.

But after a while, he began to pull the rice into the bowl with great difficulty, and said aggrievedly: "I can't be a division commander, I can be a regiment commander, if not, I can be a battalion commander and a company commander, as long as I can fight devils, let me do whatever I want, don't let me go to the back to be a factory director, I won't do it." I want to protest to Commander Ye. ”

"Protest what protest? It's your turn to protest? ”

While he was talking, a person came in at the door, and when he entered the house, all the division commanders of the second line stood up and saluted: "Commander Ye." ”

Commander Ye stepped forward and sat on the bench: "Old Wu, don't shout, I know that you have grievances, and I also know that it is a bit unfair to arrange more than 10,000 of you to fight with more than 100,000 devils, but isn't there no way, we have a total of more than 30,000 people, and we have to take HZ City later." ”

"Commander Ye, I'm not resentful, I just feel worthless for my brothers, didn't this devil run away yet, why did he replace me." Lao Wu stiffened his neck and shouted: "I'm not missing an arm, what's the impact?" ”

Commander Ye sat there and sighed: "Don't stare at me like a donkey, I know that you are not convinced, and I know that you are all good, but now our vitality has not recovered, and we need a large number of trustworthy comrades to be leaders in all walks of life, and the only thing I can think of is you." I won't hide it from you, when the New Year is over, the plan above is to go south to Fujian and Guangdong, and none of you will be able to run away at that time. ”

Hearing this, Lao Wu's anger eased a little, but this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was still a little reluctant, so he held his strength to fight devils, and his mind was full of fighting devils.

During the war, there were no lights in thousands of homes, and there were many people who sold their children and daughters on Chinese New Year's Eve to live one more day, and now the whole country knows that only by going to the border areas can they get a bite of food, so more and more people are flocking to the major base areas.

As a result, the situation in the enemy-occupied areas is far worse than it appears now, and now they can still rely on some imports and stockpiles to meet their material needs, at most until the beginning of spring, when the real terror is coming.

Formed soldiers, senior officers, technicians, and so on, these people will definitely try their best to rush to the border areas after the beginning of spring, and most of those who remain are old, weak, sick and disabled, or those who are really guilty of heinous crimes.

At present, the Japanese army has a total of more than 1.9 million troops and nearly 2 million troops, half of which is in the northeast region, and the more than 800,000 troops gathered in the southern region have been beaten to the brim, so now Japan has almost lost its dominance over the southern region.

Then, as long as all plans go down according to the script, more than two-thirds of the areas south of the Yangtze River will be liberated from April to May, and as soon as the other front armies attacking from Shanxi and Shandong enter the country, the overall situation of the liberation of the south will basically be decided.

"It's so hard."

Ying Smash sat there and looked at the intelligence summary during this time, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's it." Pony stood at the window with a cup of coffee and looked at the fading SH night scene outside: "We are here to open the golden finger, in the past few years, we have sacrificed seven or eight hundred thousand people, if there is no us, can you imagine how miserable it is?" ”

"I can imagine it, but didn't I win in the end?" Ying Smash raised his head and glanced at Xiaoma: "Xiaohu is doing a really good job now, do you guess what he will do next?" ”

Pony glanced at Ying Smash, then smiled, "What do you think?" ”

"Let's talk about it."

The two of them each took out a hand and gestured 123, and then said in unison: "Kill the hooligan!" ”

Yes, that's right. is to kill hooligans, the so-called Shanghai Tang tycoons, it is definitely impossible for these gang Hu Deyou to let them stay, so his next job must be what hooligans.

And seeing that the apprentice he trained by himself now seems to be able to take charge on his own, Xiao Ma is quite proud: "To be honest, if this is not a low-martial world, I will teach him the true transmission of the whole body, this kid is really a character." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Ying Smash sighed and said, "Look at my apprentice again, the braised pork is quite delicious." What about the rest...... In fact, there are only two places that are too good. ”

"That's not going to work, that's not going to work." Pony laughed, "I can't help it, she's in a different environment." ”

"No, when I go back, I will definitely ask Brother Zhang to open a separate copy for her, so that she can exercise seriously."
