"Director Meng!"

When she finally saw Meng Shaoyuan, Zhu Yanni's heart finally let go.

"Godfather!"

Fan Zhenbang rushed over, and as soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

"What to do, hurry up."

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly asked him to get up: "It's all guerrillas, what are you kowtowing, you have to kowtow during the New Year." ”

In order to help herself, Zhu Yanni mobilized all the people who could be mobilized.

Half of the detachment, about fifty people.

However, in order to ensure Meng Shaoyuan's safety, the target of this mission, except for Fan Zhenbang, Zhu Yanni did not tell anyone.

Even when she came to see Meng Shaoyuan, Zhu Yanni only brought Fan Zhenbang by her side.

A "Director Meng" was a bit raw.

The relationship between Zhu Yanni and Meng Shaoyuan is no longer the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the past, and they have not seen each other for more than two months, and they are still a little awkward to each other.

Thinking of what happened that night, Zhu Yanni couldn't help but blush.

"Daddy, Daddy...... Detachment leader, I'll help you keep a sentry. "Fan Zhenbang is a clever ghost, and he turned around and ran away.

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were dripping and he looked at Zhu Yanni's stomach. What do you say is going on, Chóng Qìng's "good news" has not yet come, and Zhu Yanni's stomach has not moved at all.

Could it be that because of his own crossing, some functions have been destroyed?

God, don't joke with yourself.

"What are you looking at there?" Zhu Yanni gave him a blank look: "No ...... for you Seed...... You go to Chóng Qìng and stay with that generalissimo every day, maybe people will have your young master Meng in their stomachs? ”

"Wronged." Meng Shaoyuan never blinked his eyes when he lied: "When I went to Chóng Qìng, I was reporting to work and suppressing bandits, so how could I have time to be with any generalissimo." ”

It's a pity that Zhu Yanni is not as naïve as Zhenzi, and she will believe his words before she has a ghost.

Meng Shaoyuan always had an ominous premonition, Zhu Yanni, Shang Qianyi, and that Zhen Zizi, what should I do if the three of them are together one day?

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, live one day at a time.

Worried that Zhu Yanni would continue to ask, she quickly changed the topic: "Have you been around Nanjing all the time?" ”

"Well, otherwise, how can I come to save you Young Master Meng?" Zhu Yanni also became serious: "The situation is getting worse and worse, there was originally a connection with several teams in Nanjing, but in order to help Quanlu take revenge, these squadrons all lurked into Nanjing City, and now we are isolated, if you contact us a few days later, I am ready to transfer with the team." ”

"Do you have a goal?"

"Yes, either go to Taihu Lake to join the guerrillas, or go to Jurong and Maoshan areas, after my ** soldiers broke through, they organized strong men and guerrillas there, and the development was quite rapid."

Although the Battle of Nanjing failed, many first-class soldiers completed the breakthrough.

At that time, the situation of the breakout force was still very dangerous. They are alone, with no support and no support, and it is difficult to last. Under such circumstances, they relied on the local township security chief to mobilize the Zhuangding armed forces to resist the enemy, and achieved remarkable results.

The army held a meeting of township security chiefs on the side of Qiu's house, which was attended by more than 10 township chiefs. The meeting decided to organize guerrilla units to carry out guerrilla warfare against the enemy, and at the same time to organize strong men to be responsible for the defense of the villages.

At the meeting, Luo Wenbo of Dai Village was appointed as the guerrilla commander, and Zhang Xingyuan, head of Baohua Township, Zhang Yingzhao, head of Dai Village, and Wu Yudong, chief of the border of Qiu Jia, were each assigned to form a squadron of Zhuang Ding and put them under the command of Luo Wenbo.

They agreed that in the event of a Japanese army searching the mountain, they should raise a fire at the designated place. If the enemy enters the village, the strong men of the village should resist by force, and the other strong men should immediately send three armed strong men to support as soon as they hear the gunshots.

In order to ensure that this goal could be achieved, Guo Yongbiao, chief of staff of the 66th Army, director of the Nanjing Breakout Containment Division of the Fourth Route Army, and deputy commander of the guerrilla advance column of the 12th Group Army, once again convened a meeting of the township security chiefs to teach guerrilla tactics.

The meeting decided that Zhang Xingyuan would be in charge of sending Zhuang Ding to the area of Jiuhua Mountain to search for the lost firearms, and stipulated that a mortar would be found and a reward of 20 yuan; a light machine gun, 15 yuan; A rifle and a shell gun will be rewarded with 10 yuan each.

After that, the asylum sent officers and soldiers to the villages to train the strong men and guide them to attack the sparse enemy.

In the past few days, he has killed many enemies, and even if he encounters dozens or hundreds of enemies, he can bravely intercept and kill.

More than 140 Japanese infantry advanced to Dingzhuang and Xiadingzhuang, and the Liuqiao Zhuangding team rushed to kill the enemy with two light machine guns and more than 100 rifles, killing 8 enemies from morning to dusk, and the enemy retreated.

Xie Shimao, the former chief of Dongjingtang Township, was over 60 years old and commanded more than 100 strong men to fight fiercely with a small group of enemies for days, killing dozens of enemies successively. Later, there were more and more enemies, and the support was not continuous, so he ordered the strong man to move elsewhere, and he stayed alone in Jiejia Village to deal with the enemy's burning and killing team, and when he saw a scarce enemy, he opened fire.

As a result, Jiejia Village was not burned and was preserved.

Later, when the officers and men of the Guangdong troops left this place and returned to the south, he saw off the troops despite the slippery roads, holding shoes in his left hand and a cane in his right hand. When parting, he said: "If the Zhuangding team has enough bullets, the enemy will definitely not be able to rush in, and Dongjingtang will not be burned." ”

Guo Yongbiao immediately donated 200 rounds of ammunition and promised to ask the government for help in the future.

At that time, there were not only strong men but also guns in the rural areas around Jurong, and the conditions for fighting guerrilla warfare were fully met. For example, there are several light machine guns and more than 1,000 rifles in Baohua Township, more than 300 rifles in Dai Village, and hundreds of armed strong men in Maoshan Township.

The township where Langxi Fangli Village is located is even more exaggerated, there are 2 mortars, 8 Makqin, and more than 1,000 rifles.

Under the organization, mobilization, and guidance of the breakthrough troops, the anti-Japanese beacon fire was quickly ignited.

However, the strong men in the Maoshan area have long been quite organized and strong, but they are independent and do not connect with each other, so they cannot form a strong force.

Under such a situation, Guo Yongbiao summoned more than 10 people, including Zhang Renshou, head of Maoshan Township, Tang Xianxiang, head of Dawang Village, Wang Zhiwei, head of Wangzhuang Township, Wu Zhonghuai, and Chen Baogui, leaders of Maoshan Township, to point out their past mistakes, exhort them to improve as soon as possible, organize them closely, and earnestly help each other.

At the meeting, Wu Zhonghuai recounted that they had repeatedly resisted the Japanese army's burning and killing squads, and attacked the enemy at night at Tiannoji Temple, capturing a lot of baggage, and asked for an appointment.

Chen Baogui was even more impassioned, patting his chest and shouting: "I, Chen, am 48 years old this year, and I have failed to do my best for the country." If you don't fight to the death with the Japanese slaves today, what's the use of leaving me with this old life?"

Guo Yongbiao gave him a silver dollar in front of him, and promised to tell the government to appoint them separately to kill the enemy for the country. After this meeting, the situation quickly improved.

The anti-Japanese armed forces in the areas of Jurong and Maoshan were so powerful, which Meng Shaoyuan did not expect.

A township, not only mortars, but also 8 Makqin, which is more powerful than the military strength of some regular armies.

"However, although Guo Yongbiao is nominally the deputy commander of the guerrilla advance column, he is only a staff member." Zhu Yanni immediately reported: "He sent telegrams to his superiors many times to ask for military salaries, weapons and ammunition, but there was no actual action except for commendations. At that time, he left 200 rounds of ammunition for Jiejia Village, but all the bullets in his own department were less than 500 rounds. ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.

Those people above, they say one thing, and they do another. He always talked about developing guerrilla forces and fighting behind enemy lines, but when it came to reality, he didn't take these guerrillas seriously at all.

Supplementing, priority was given to the Central Army, and the local miscellaneous troops barely drank some soup, and these guerrilla forces could not even drink the remaining water from the soup.

Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would replenish the guerrillas with dozens of silver dollars and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and immediately he would make a big deal about how he valued Yunyun.

"What's missing?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"I sent someone to contact Guo Yongbiao, but I lack anything." Zhu Yanni smiled bitterly: "There is a serious shortage of funds, if it weren't for Ma Zuolin, a captain of the 159th Division, and Weng Yongnian, a second lieutenant waiter of the 160th Division, who brought more than 10,000 yuan before and after, Guo Yongbiao would not have been able to hold on at all." The food expenses of the officers and men were only two dimes per person per day, and they had to be shared by the villagers of each village. The 30 yuan detective fee of the township security chief is that no matter how difficult the funds are, they cannot be missing.

And weapons. Guo Yongbiao contained 1,3400 remnants of soldiers before and after, and organized them into three battalions of guerrilla advance columns, with a total of only 400 guns, and almost no light and heavy machine guns. ”

The situation is so bad?

Meng Shaoyuan frowned, and thought for a while: "Yanni, take your people, quickly evacuate here, don't go to Taihu Lake, and move in the direction of Jurong and Maoshan." How much money do you have left? ”

"The funds you gave are sufficient, and there are more than 30,000 yuan."

"Guo Yongbiao has 20,000 yuan for 1,000 people, and 30,000 yuan for you 100,000 people, a local tyrant." Meng Shaoyuan didn't forget to joke: "After you arrive at your destination, immediately find Guo Yongbi and give him 20,000 yuan." Tell him clearly that I gave it to him. When I arrived in Shanghai, I immediately sent someone to send you another fund. ”

Zhu Yanni knew very well that Meng Shaoyuan was using the brains of the guerrilla advance column.

This armed force used to be a regular army, and its combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of those guerrillas.

"In addition to the necessary funds, I will give you another batch of yen, all of which are counterfeit banknotes, but they are very realistic, and you send people to trade with the Japanese with these money." Meng Shaoyuan thought carefully there: "There are also weapons, our family has a big business, and the smuggling route in Shanghai has not been broken for a day, give them a batch of weapons and ammunition, don't be stingy." ”

"Got it." Zhu Yanni then said, "You're leaving soon?" ”

"Hmm. Leave right away. Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said, "The situation in Shanghai is urgent, I must go back immediately." Yanni, be careful yourself. ”

"I'll send you to Shanghai."

"No need." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You need manpower here more than me!" ”
