"Comrade Xiao Li, just like Xiao Yang said to me before, you should go to political work. You are one of the strongest party members I have ever met over the years, and you are also one of the most eloquent and knowledgeable. In any case, I hope that we can work together in the future to expel the Japanese from our land as soon as possible. Qian Siming stretched out his hand, and Li Qinghe also stretched out his hand to shake it.

Next, Qian Siming began to briefly introduce to Li Qinghe the content of the intelligence department and various tasks. This opened Li Qinghe's eyes in a real sense, he didn't expect that there would be such a way in intelligence work, and there were so many rules and situations.

After Qian Siming finished speaking, Li Qinghe immediately said: "In this way, Comrade Qian, how much money do you need, just go directly to the logistics to ask for it, and then go to the accounts." You can have as much money as you want. I don't dare to say anything else, the money is guaranteed to be enough. If you want people, you can ask for it directly, except for those above the squad level in the army, you can give the rest. I have only one request, to complete the intelligence network for Qinhuangdao and the northern region of Funing as soon as possible. Our counter-sweep is about to begin, and we must complete the action as soon as possible. ”

With the support of Li Qinghe, the intelligence department was established the next day, and Qian Siming deserved to be an excellent secret service cadre, and only on the third day, the intelligence in the Qinhuangdao area was sent to Li Qinghe's desk.

After receiving the information, Li Qinghe's expression was a little solemn. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army quietly concentrated a brigade and 1 regiment of puppet troops in Qinhuangdao to prepare for the next encirclement and suppression.

"Lao Yang, Lao Qian, the book looks up to us." Li Qinghe said with a smile, "Look, a brigade of Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet troops. Interesting, so interesting. ”

"But in this case, there are quite a few troops around us," Yang Qing frowned, "Qinglong is enough for a wing of the Kwantung Army, and a half regiment of the puppet Manchukuo Army. Our one-and-a-half-brigade of Japanese troops, two and a half regiments of puppet troops, this battle is really not easy to fight. ”

"There's nothing bad to fight," Li Qinghe smiled, "Qinglong's troops with a general corps and a battalion can at least hold half a wing and one regiment of the puppet Manchukuo army." 1 brigade must garrison Qinglong County, and the rest is 1 brigade and a puppet army of about a regiment, and they need to go west and fight with Lao Gao in Lulong, and we don't need to care too much about it. ”

"The direction of Qinhuangdao is not difficult, the two cities of Beidaihe in Qinhuangdao need a gendarmerie to guard the city, and there is only one brigade and puppet army left. One brigade of the Japanese army was 3-4 squadrons, and there was also a regiment of puppet troops. The Japanese army had to send at least one squadron of troops to defend each stronghold, so only 2-3 squadrons and less than one regiment of puppet troops participated in the battle. ”

"Moreover, until now, the Japanese army has no idea that we control Funing County, so it is impossible for all the Japanese troops in this brigade to rush at us, and most of them have to go south to Changli to fight Lao Bao and them. In such a situation, we can completely catch the Japanese army by surprise and eat his squad or squadron. ”

"But then the Japanese army will immediately point the finger at us," Lao Yang still frowned, "and they will soon find out that Funing County has fallen into our hands." ”

"It's not important," Li Qinghe shook his head with a smile, "Old Yang, you fell into the inferior." Our task is to fight the devils and expand the base area, not just to defend the county seat of Funing. We want to fight, and we must start fighting in the entire Funing County, and completely disintegrate the foundation of the Japanese puppet army's rule. ”

"But what about Funing County?"

"Lao Yang, as I said before, do we have the ability to garrison Funing County? Yes, but what do we gain by holding on? High casualty figures? And then the base area is completely lost? We must realize that we do not yet have the ability to fight a frontal field battle with the Japanese army. We do not have a relatively sufficient rear at present, we can only fight around the base areas we have opened, and we have not yet reached the moment of a head-on decisive battle with the Japanese army. ”

"Lao Yang, I understand that you may not be reconciled, after all, we have been working hard to run Funing City for almost a month, and we have to give it to people. I am not reconciled, but it is an indisputable fact that we are still weaker than the enemy. So Lao Yang, we take a step back now, and we will get more in the future. It will be here in Funing County, and it will not go. As long as we are strong enough, it will come back to us in the future. ”

"But we didn't let the Japanese take the city safe and sound. What do I say, I want him to break a few teeth, let him taste the power of our anti-alliance, he wants to take Funing County? Want to go south and west to find trouble with our comrades? If you don't leave something with me, don't try to get over easily. Li Qinghe slammed his fist on the Funing County logo on the map, his expression grim.

"Old Qian, the next step is to ensure the operation of the intelligence department, and ensure that the Japanese puppet army in Beidaihe and Qinglong County in Qinhuangdao will not move easily and we are unaware. In addition, the base area task force is under your command, and as soon as possible it is necessary to find out as soon as possible those people in the entire Funing County who are cooperating with the Japanese puppets, and if they can win it, they will win it over. If not, make a list and perform a hoe in the future. ”

"Understood." Lao Qian nodded and left Li Qinghe's office. "Lao Li, my side mobilized the masses to start buying and transporting the corresponding materials to the warehouse of our old base area, and the base area needs to enter the war preparations at any time."

When Yang Qing was about to leave, Li Qinghe suddenly stopped him. "Lao Yang, let's not transport it to the old base area, but to our secret warehouse. In this way, you organize the villagers to transport to Hanjiayu first, and the rest will be transported by the warriors. ”

Yang Qing nodded, "It's okay, then I'll go to Liu Mouse and them first, see how much money we have left to buy food and materials, and then organize the masses to transfer the materials." ”

On the third day of preparation, Li Qinghe's desk received brand new information that the Japanese army on the Qinhuangdao side planned to send one brigade of Japanese troops and one regiment of the Imperial Allied Army along the highway to the Lulong area to prepare to encircle and suppress the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

Li Qinghe frowned and called Qian Houming, "Old Qian, a brigade of the Japanese army fought Lu Long, and all of them took the road?" ”

Qian Houming shook his head, "It's not clear yet, our comrades are investigating the enemy railway department, and they will probably be able to get the corresponding information tomorrow morning." ”

"But old money, the troops of 1 brigade and 1 regiment are all on the road, so who will take care of Changli and Leting? Luan County? I don't think so. Luanxian is in the hands of our army, and the Japanese army has not yet taken the county seat of Luanxian. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army did not have the strength to mobilize troops from the Luanxian area to the east to attack Changli. Letting? No, Leting himself has to fight with the captain of the Bao team. ”

"Captain, I have an immature idea." Qian Houming said in a deep voice.

"Please."

"I suspect that a squadron of Japanese troops stationed in Beidaihe will move south along the railway line and be responsible for the extermination of the Changli and Leting areas."

Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment and laughed, "The Japanese army really wants to do that, but the meat buns beat the dogs and there is no return." Old money, we have a full 15,000 troops in Changli and Leting areas. Even if our 15,000 troops do not have such strong combat effectiveness, it is not something that a squadron of the Japanese army can easily knead. ”

"What if a squadron from Zhangjiazhuang Station went south at the same time? According to the intelligence of the comrades of the railway department, there was also 1 squadron of Japanese troops and a battalion of puppet troops at Zhangjiazhuang station. What if this Japanese army moved south to join them and then advanced along the railway line? Qian Siming asked.

"Old money, an army of 15,000 is not something that one or two squadrons can easily defeat. Even the Central Army after the Battle of Songhu caused chaos in the whole army because of the lack of discipline during the retreat, which eventually caused a bad thing in which one brigade defeated one division. ”
