After a month, the situation became tense. Li Xiannian successfully broke through in the Central Plains; Our representatives in the execution team of the siege of a handful of fugitive landlords in Jinan; Chiang Kai-shek's army was constantly provoking ...... on the periphery of the liberated areas.

One day, all units received a notice to go to the airport to see off the US and Chiang deputies of the military adjustment enforcement group.

Half of the airport was filled with people waving large flags, small flags, and pennants. It's all the army and the militia. The big and small flags read:

"Armed defense of the liberated areas!"

"Against the Civil War Conspiracy!"

"If no one offends me, I will not offend; If anyone sins against me, I will offend. ”

Two American Jeeps and a grass green Japanese sedan came. Up and down the jeep were the big and tall American representatives and the short black and fat representatives of the Kuomintang army. A man and a woman got out of the car, wearing the coarse cloth uniforms of the New Fourth Army.

Slogans roared at the airport. The slogan is the same as what is written on the flag.

Zhang Debiao touched Xiao Zhao with his arm: "Commander Chen is so mighty today!" ”

"Where?"

"Walking side by side with lesbians, with belts and leggings."

Xiao Zhao turned his gaze back to the man, and still couldn't recognize it as Commander Chen for a while. The two thick eyebrows were like swords, and the tips of the eyebrows were raised, and a knot was twisted in the middle. The lips are tightly closed, making the lower lip more prominent. His eyes sparkled awe-inspiringly.

They didn't seem to heed the deafening slogans, and approached the plane chattering. Just as they walked to the front of the propaganda team, the American stopped and pointed to the crowd and said a few words with a grin. The lesbian interpreter said: "He said that this meeting was very unexpected! ”

Chen Yi smiled: "It's no more unexpected than the scene in Jinan." ”

The representative of the Kuomintang army rushed up and said: "That is a spontaneous action of the common people, and the government does not know about it!" ”

Chen Yi said: "I ordered them to come. So you can rest assured that there will never be that kind of impolite behavior! ”

They laughed a few more words, but they didn't hear clearly. Then the Americans shook hands with Chen Yi and got on the plane first. The short and fat Kuomintang officer also stretched out his hand to Chen Yi and said with a cold smile, "Thank you for your hospitality Luo." When will General Chen Yi come to his brother's defensive ground, please give an order, and I, Ma Zhenwu, will personally drive to meet you! ”

"It's a deal!" Chen Yi shook his hand, then looked at him with forced eyes and said, "When my brother comes to my defense ground, I will also prepare a car and wait!" ”

Ma Zhenwu also got on the plane amid the slogan. The propellers whipped up dust and grass clippings on the lawn, dragging the plane into the gray clouds. The slogan turned into laughter and scolding. The officer on duty stood on a standing stone stone and blew the whistle, gesturing with both hands, and brought the team closer to the middle, announcing the chief's speech. He jumped down to help Chen Yi, Chen Yi blocked him with his hand, and stepped onto the stone stone with an arrow step.

"Comrades, take a break."

He took off his military hat, unbuttoned his discipline, put his hands around his waist, and talked unhurriedly: "Why do you want to make a send-off formation today? One is that they messed with us in Jinan and made trouble unreasonably! We'll give him back an arrow! It's called 'coming and not being rude.'" Second, they won't come back after they leave this time. Leave him a souvenir. They want us to withdraw from Zaozhuang! Exit from Zhangdian! Exit from Lincheng to ....... In a word, we want to withdraw the vast areas liberated from the Japanese and give them them! They said we were going to do it, and they stopped talking. Do they think we can give him these places? ”

The square roared: "Don't give up an inch of land!" "Armed defense of the liberated areas!"

It was as if the wrath of the masses infected him. Or rather, it was his own burst of sparks that ignited the anger of the masses, and the fire reversed to cause him to explode even more. He roared angrily, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, drowned out the sound of the whole audience!

"Chiang Kai-shek bastard! He fainted, and bullied Lao Tzu's head! ”

He took off his shirt and threw his hat to the guards below. He glanced to the left and right, as if Chiang Kai-shek was hiding in some corner.

"Every city and every place here is what we bought with blood! Our Deputy Commander Luo sacrificed his life on the front line of Lanling, and our combat heroes and security were all sacrificed in Zaozhuang City! I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree! You want, you can, take Chiang Kai-shek's head in exchange! ”

He took the towel from the guard and wiped off the sweat from his head.

"I knew that his turtle son was going to rise up Biaoluo! U.S. planes and warships have sent his team to the gate of the liberated areas! American guns and bullets have filled his Civil War warehouse! All right! Come on! Lao Tzu is waiting for this battle to be tickled! Now I announce the mobilization of the whole army and enter the first level of combat readiness! ”

In order to suppress his anger, he stopped and stood on Shi Shu in silence. However, when he could not suppress the burning anger, he raised a hand and shouted, "Are there any of you who are afraid of death?" Which one is afraid of death to come out for me! ”

The square was so quiet that it seemed as if the air had condensed.

"Which one is afraid of death, you come out, leave now, I won't keep you!"

He opened a pair of large eyes under his round sword eyebrows, and his gaze swept over everyone's face from left to right.

"Is there no one leaving? If you stay, then you will follow the Mao ** revolution to the end! Don't stop if you don't hit Nanjing! Don't stop if you don't defeat Chiang Kai-shek! Whether it is bloodshed or sacrifice, we must take the pen of the Spring and Autumn Period into our hands, and the history of China must be written by us! Meeting! ”

When he jumped off the rock, it was only more than ten minutes after he went up. In these ten minutes, the brief period of peace after World War II ended. People enter the venue with a lively and cheerful atmosphere, but they are also somewhat loose. When he exited, he had a stern face and a neat pace. The military song wet everyone's eyes.

The Japanese sedan started up and drove up to him. He shook his hand and said, "This is to sit and put on a show in front of the enemy representatives, and now it is not used." He and the two guards stepped into the ranks of the propaganda team nearby, striding forward with the sound of one-two-one's command.

There are a lot of queues, stop-and-go. Wait a while before you go out. When the team stopped, Chen Yi looked around and asked loudly, "Does Zhang Debiao have any?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Debiao replied at the end of the row.

"Get out of the line!"

Zhang Debiao walked out of the team and stood in front of the team. Chen Yi also came out of the ranks, stood opposite him, looked him up and down for a while, and asked unhurriedly: "What are you doing recently?" ”

"Report to the commander, I'll feed the horses."

"I don't know you feed the horses? I ask you what mistakes you made! ”

"The organization department transferred me, but I didn't go."

"What else?"

"A bit liberal."

"Specifically!"

"I told strange things, saying that if I was forced to be a cadre again, I would desert."

"Then I told the people who are afraid of death to come out, why don't you come out?"

"Commander, you criticize me, I accept it, but you can't insult your comrades! When was I, Zhang Debiao, afraid of dying? ”

"Afraid of difficulties, being a free soldier, not seeking to be motivated is as shameful as being afraid of death!"

"So, I'm okay with that!"

"Where are you going?"

"I didn't really want to leave, I was talking about it!"

"Play the piano!" Chen Yi shouted. Zhang Debiao lowered his head.

"You don't think you're doing much wrong! Today I just wanted you to take a picture in front of the whole team! Look if you old revolutionary has the cheekiness! Old revolution? Old fritters! ”

"I, I ......"

"How are you? When you deal with mules every day, you can't see the difference between a mule and a man! The mule is on all four legs, always with its head down, and only a little in front of the hooves can be seen. What about people? When man's hands are freed and he stands up, he raises his head and sees far! ”

"I'm lagging behind." Zhang Debiao raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

"Which one gave you the power to be backward?" Chen Yi still had a loud voice, but his tone softened a lot: "How many old friends are left on Luo Xiao Mountain?" How many comrades in southern Anhui are gone? Do we who are alive have the power to lag behind? ”

Zhang Debiao blew his nose.

"You have a low education, and you have difficulties in being a cadre, I know this. How can it be difficult to do revolution, do you think I, the boss, should be very comfortable! Can I report to Mao** to request a job change? Go back and clean up and report to the organization department. ”

"Yes."

"Go down and be a platoon commander. How long do you want to hang out of the party? Go to the company and make it clear to the branch, saying that you love to commit liberalism, and you want the branch to supervise you to correct it. ”

"Yes, go down and be a platoon leader......"

"Do it well, don't do it badly! Otherwise, don't see me again for the rest of your life! ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Debiao picked up his backpack and left. Soon, Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale attack on the liberated areas, and the vigorous war of liberation began. Propaganda teams also went to the front.
