At this time, the two armies outside the headquarters were facing each other, and no one refused to put down their guns, and the trumpeter just looked at the guerrilla leader's order dumbfounded, how to let him blow the trumpet at this critical time.

"What the hell are you doing in a daze, do you want our troops to be wiped out?" The guerrilla captain yelled at the trumpeter.

Just when the two sides were tense, the trumpeter sounded the call to retreat in full view of everyone.

The fierce gunfire just ahead stopped instantly, and the night became quiet again.

"Are you going to visit us with your political commissar Xu, or are you going to stay here and wait for the final result?" Lu Liming asked the captain of the guerrillas.

"Are you really so sure you're going to take the commissar from under us?"

Although the captain of the guerrillas wanted to solve this problem peacefully, but now that Political Commissar Xu was a member of them in public, and even more so his superior, if he was taken away by the New 33rd Army from his hands, then what would be the face of their Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Political Commissar Xu was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and he could only wait for the final result.

"Well......" Lu Liming thought about it carefully, "Why do I think we have always had the advantage, in such a close battle, although you have the advantage in numbers, but don't forget that my soldiers are all submachine guns, and in terms of firepower, you can add a company in vain!" ”

The captain of the guerrillas knew that what Lu Liming said was the truth, in terms of weapons, they were a big difference with the soldiers under Lu Liming, even if there was a battalion on the periphery of the headquarters now, the firepower might not be able to catch up with these soldiers, but even if he didn't like Political Commissar Xu anymore, this was also an internal matter of their Eighth Route Army, and they must not lose their face in front of outsiders.

"I believe Captain Lu should have heard our trumpet just now, right?" said the guerrilla captain.

"That's not a retreating ......," Lu Liming said halfway through when he suddenly felt that things were a little strange.

"Yes, the first half of the horn is retreat, as for the second half of the horn, Captain Lu should have guessed what it meant, right?"

"It seems that the Eighth Route Army still has some means, and I still underestimate you!" Lu Liming didn't take this matter to heart, even if he was surrounded, he was able to take the troops out, it was just some casualties.

But Lu Liming remembered that when Liao Fan gave him an order, he told him not to have a large-scale conflict with the Eighth Route Army.

"Now that things are like this, I'm willing to take a step back and listen to what good opinions you have!" Lu Liming said.

Now that things have reached a stalemate, in order not to have a situation where the two sides are fighting each other, someone can only make a retreat.

"Let Commander Liao come to us to talk!" The captain of the partisan detachment made his own proposal.

"Hmm...... It's a good idea, and that's it! ”

Lu Liming and the others took the command of Political Commissar Xu, and Political Commissar Xu was holding it in their hands, and the guerrillas who had withdrawn from the front line surrounded Lu Liming and them. Everything that happened in Xiulin Town quickly reached the ears of the little devil scout.

The little devil's scout quickly reported this information to his superiors.

The commander of the little devils got the news within half an hour of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army launching an attack on Xiulin Town, and he thought that this was their best chance to take advantage of the instability in the rear of the New 33rd Army to recapture the Jingcheng mining area.

So the little devil began to gather forces and began to attack the Jingcheng area.

Liao Fan, who was in Jingcheng, received a message from Lu Liming that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army asked them to go to Xiulin Town to negotiate.

Although Xiulin Town is no longer surrounded, the army is pressing, and any warriors have not relaxed, after all, no one is sure what will happen in the next minute.

"Brother Fan, this is Political Commissar Xu, and this is the guerrilla captain of Linxian County!"

Lu Liming briefly introduced the two people.

"First of all, this matter is not what our new 33rd Army has done, I should apologize to your Eighth Route Army, and when I return to the station, I will personally write a letter of apology to your Eighth Route Army headquarters, and your people are now in Xiulin Town, if there is any problem with Political Commissar Xu, you can send someone to check it now!"

Liao Fan knew that the cause of this incident was them, so he apologized to Political Commissar Xu first.

"Don't think that you apologized and this matter is over, since you know that you are wrong, you should find a way to make amends!"

Political Commissar Xu did not achieve his goal militarily, and when they attacked last night, they killed more than 20 soldiers, but the New 33rd Army did not suffer any casualties, which made him add new hatred to the old hatred of the New 33rd Army, how could he give up because of Liao Fan's few words of apology.

"Then what did Commissar Xu say should be done with this matter?"

Political Commissar Xu looked at the iconic smile on Liao Fan's face, and really thought that Liao Fan was a good bully.

"Compensation, this matter must be compensated, last night, our soldiers were killed and injured by you more than 60 people, you can't just say that! Compensatory work must be made. ”

"Is it okay for Political Commissar Xu to be reasonable, it is you who attack us, we are passive defense, and if I hadn't taken your command with my soldiers, you might not know how many soldiers you would have lived! And ask me for compensation, it's good that we didn't ask you for the ammunition we consumed! Lu Liming has been looking at Political Commissar Xu unpleasantly since last night, and when he heard Political Commissar Xu ask them for compensation, he was even more angry, and directly confronted Political Commissar Xu.

"Lu Liming, you go out first, there is no place for you to speak here!" Liao Fan scolded Lu Liming, then continued to turn to Political Commissar Xu and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of compensation Political Commissar Xu intends to make?" Do you want territory, money, weapons and ammunition? ”

Political Commissar Xu straightened his chest, thinking that although he had failed in the military operation this time, he could get some weapons, ammunition and even territory from Liao Fan, and he would be able to explain to his superiors.

"We don't want money, we are honest all our lives!"

Liao Fan immediately understood what Political Commissar Xu meant, this is to ask for guns and turf. However, this time Liao Fan behaved very generously.

"Xiulin Town is an important place on the Zhengtai Line, the main force of our troops is stationed in Jingcheng County, it is impossible to give up Xiulin Town, so I hope that Political Commissar Xu will not fight the idea of Xiulin Town, I think we can still make concessions in some places east of the Jingcheng mining area, I don't know what political commissar Xu thinks is wrong?"

When Political Commissar Xu heard this, he had a good feeling, they were trying to build a piece of base electricity in the Jingcheng area, and now it has been delivered, don't do it in vain.

"In this case, Weizhou Town and Sunzhuang Township to the east of the Jingcheng mining area are stationed by our Eighth Route Army! Of course, you must also compensate for the weapons and ammunition! "Political Commissar Xu asked for the territory, of course, he will not forget the weapons and ammunition.

"Of course there's no problem with this, when you settle down, arrange someone to go to Jingcheng at any time, and we're willing to replenish you with a thousand guns and ten thousand rounds of ammunition!"

In this way, Liao Fan gave up the two important townships that Lu Liming and the others had just taken over, and gave the Eighth Route Army so many weapons and equipment.

"How can we trust your Commander Liao?"

Political Commissar Xu thought about it, this seemed to be a bit pie in the sky, and even felt that Liao Fan seemed to be playing tricks on him, in case Liao Fan didn't give it to him, there was no way.

"Hmm...... Otherwise, let's write an agreement, and the terms of each of us are written on it, and then the two of us sign it! Liao Fan suggested, as if he was worried that his territory and weapons would not be able to be sent.

In this way, Liao Fan and Political Commissar Xu happily reached an agreement. None of the conditions in the agreement were unfavorable to the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and even a few conditions were added later.

Political Commissar Xu saw that Liao Fan was a little complacent after signing the letter, although he lost more than 20 soldiers, but in the end, he was able to give some explanation to his superiors.

Of course, although Political Commissar Xu was happy, he couldn't show it in front of Liao Fan.

"Political Commissar Xu has signed the agreement now, and people will send it over in a while, now I will arrange the evacuation of the troops from Weizhou Town and Sunzhuang Township! If you are in a hurry to get weapons and ammunition right now, you can arrange for your brothers to follow me to Jingcheng, and I will do it for you right away! ”

Liao Fan was very polite to Political Commissar Xu from beginning to end, as if Political Commissar Xu was his superior, and Liao Fan was carrying out his orders.

From beginning to end, the captain of the guerrillas did not speak, he did not believe that Liao Fan, as the commander of the First Army, would compromise with Political Commissar Xu if he developed the New 33rd Army from scratch to the current situation, but he could not guess what Liao Fan's intentions were.

After all, Liao Fan gave out too many benefits, and Political Commissar Xu was already a little carried away, how could Political Commissar Xu, who had never achieved anything, resist these temptations.

As soon as Liao Fan left that day, Political Commissar Xu ordered the guerrilla captain of Linxian County to return with his troops, and he set off with the guerrillas in the Jingcheng area, Weizhou Town and Sunzhuang Township, with a vision for a better future.

"Brother Fan, this morning, the Japanese army has already begun to organize its troops, and it is estimated that they are coming at us!"

Not long after Liao Fan arrived in Jingcheng, Huang Changsheng reported to Liao Fan the movements of the little devil, after all, a large part of the soldiers of the special operations brigade were still lurking behind the enemy and did not return, so the situation of the transfer of the little devil could still be discovered in advance.

"What's going on now?" Liao Fan asked Huang Changsheng as he walked.

"The vanguard has already set off, but they have been marching between Luquan and Touquan, and the speed is very slow!" Huang Changsheng continued.

"Slow?"

Liao Fan didn't understand what the little devil was going to do, if something happened in Xiulin Town last night, and the Japanese army learned about it, they should attack as quickly as possible, why did they slow down.

"We guess it's the little devil's preparation for the attack is not enough!"

"Check again, try to find out which direction the first target of the Japanese attack is!"

There must always be a main direction for attacking, and since the little devil has moved, he will definitely not go back after a walk.

"Brother Fan, how are things handled by the Eighth Route Army?" Huang Changsheng continued to ask, the cause of this incident was their special operations brigade, so he was more concerned about this matter.

"I gave up Weizhou Town and Sunzhuang Township to them, and this time I came back to let our troops in this area retreat immediately!"

After entering Ma Wanzhong's headquarters, Liao Fan immediately asked Ma Wanzhong to give an order to let the troops in Weizhou Town and Sunzhuang Township retreat, and of course Ma Wanzhong asked why.

"Brother Fan, give these two places to the guerrillas behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army! And a thousand guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition! ”

"What!"

Ma Wanzhong couldn't believe it, Liao Fan was a master who only took advantage and didn't suffer losses, how could he suddenly give up so many benefits, and these places were all fought down by their hard work, and the bones of many soldiers had just been buried in the surrounding areas, so they let it out, Ma Wanzhong couldn't believe it.
