After another two miles to Taihu County, Shao Fei ordered the troops to take a short rest on the side of the road.

Taihu County is located in the southwest of Anhui Province, at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains and on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and is also the key place to attack Wuhan. Now there is the 138th Division of the Gui Army stationed, and the division commander Mo Dehong.

Shao Fei smiled and recited a nearby folk song: "If you want to eat devil meat, there is only one hundred and seventy-six; I'd rather be killed by a devil, not a hundred and thirty-eight. Does 138 refer to your 138 division? ”

"No, Gui Jun's military discipline is very strict."

His own division carried the black pot for others, and Company Commander Xu was a little displeased. 138 does refer to the 138th Division, but not the Gui Army, but the Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan Army carried out personnel reorganization, and later gave the number of the 138th Division to the Gui Army. Therefore, the current 138th Division is newly established, and it is mainly based on the Guangxi militia group.

At this time, a fast horse rode from the direction of Taihu Lake, and a Gui soldier rode on it.

"Hiss~" The soldier pulled the reins hard, stopped in front of the team, and asked loudly: "Are you from the third battalion of the 412th regiment?"

Company Commander Xu stood up and replied, "Yes." You are? ”

The soldier replied, "I'm from the division." The division commander has an order, if he finds you, please stay for an hour. The people of Taihu Lake want to hold a heroic triumph event for you. Please get your troops in order and leave in an hour. Also, falcons are not allowed to travel with them! ”

Company Commander Xu was completely confused, why did Division Commander Mo Dehong come out like this. Also, this breakthrough is completely up to Shao Fei and them, why not let Shao Fei accompany him and accept the cheers of the people together.

"Drive!"

Without waiting for Company Commander Xu to ask the reason, the soldier who gave the order flew back to the county seat to report to the division headquarters.

Company Commander Xu said indignantly: "Why is this happening? Without you, we would all have died at Huashanjian. ”

Shao Fei knew that he didn't have any emotions, and he also thought that Gui Jun should do this.

Company Commander Xu shook his head helplessly, and said to Shao Fei: "I'm sorry."

"No, this is the best choice for your Gui Army."

Then Shao Fei explained to Company Commander Xu: "Your division commander is very smart. There are three reasons why they did this: first, Huashanjian is indeed your battalion, and you sacrificed 500 people in exchange for the honor, and you can afford it; Second, when the Gui army first arrived in southern Anhui, it needed prestige and the support of the people, and your bloody battle at the top of Huashan was just an opportunity; Three, you forget, the Falcon is the Eighth Route Army. This honor cannot be touched by others. ”

Company Commander Xu breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I understand."

At Shao Fei's suggestion, the Guijun soldiers just straightened their steel helmets and straightened their collars. The stains on his face and the blood stains on his body were all left.

Subsequently, Shao Fei took the pillar and they set off first, while the Gui soldiers continued to wait. After the welcome meeting is ready, we will go to Taihu County.

When he came to the vicinity of Taihu County, Shao Fei ordered the special combat team members to hide all their equipment and enter the city empty-handed.

Some people have come to the gate of the capital in an organized way and put up banners with slogans: Welcome the triumphant return of the heroes!

Not far from the city gate, the pillar smiled: "It's magnificent enough."

Shao Fei replied: "You can do as big as you can, they are playing a political show."

The Gui army fought bravely and killed countless enemies, but they were even more unwilling to let the credit be buried, otherwise they would be sorry for the dead soldiers.

For example, the 176th Division, which ate devil meat, fought a bloody battle in Tianzhu Mountain, Qianshan County, and sacrificed 4,000 soldiers. Therefore, the Gui army buried the four thousand loyal souls one by one, and established the martyrs' cemetery and the martyrs' shrine, so that future generations can remember the great sacrifices they made for the country.

(The Cultural ~ Revolution was completely destroyed.) ）

Shao Feiren entered the city, and the knife had been waiting at the north gate for a long time, but his face was not very good-looking.

Xiaodao came to Shao Fei and said, "I'll be here to wait for you as soon as I get the news." Pillar, the leader of the moving committee wants to see you. ”

The pillar was a little inexplicable, and said, "What moving committee?" Why do you want to see me and not the captain? ”

Xiaodao was very serious, and said: "The Taihu County People's Anti-Japanese Mobilization Committee, referred to as the Mobilization Committee, is led by our party. They found me, and I said you're the captain, so I'm looking for you. They are not small, and they were personally appointed by Vice Chairman Zhou. ”

"Huh."

The pillar didn't understand what was going to happen, and smiled heartily: "Okay, there are our comrades everywhere." Where are they, take me. ”

"Pillar~"

Shao Fei shouted, and the pillar replied: "The knife said, I am the captain." Squad leader, I know what to say, so let me hide myself as the captain. ”

The pillar saw that the knife's face was not good-looking, and it seemed that this time he went to the thunder. Shao Fei's current identity can't be explained, so the pillar is willing to help Shao Fei fight the thunder.

Shao Fei slapped the pillar and said, "Okay, I'll be your subordinate for a while today." Let's go together, who knows whom. ”

Xiucai didn't understand very well and asked, "Anyway, I don't know, why don't you let the captain be a pillar?"

Zhu Zi replied with a smile: "His face is still rare and good."

"Gone, my pillar captain."

The knife was a little impatient and pulled the pillar and walked forward. Shao Fei asked the others to go to a nearby hotel and meet up when they were done.

The so-called Motion Committee was formally established in May 1938. According to the administrative division, it is divided into 4 districts and 31 townships, which led the anti-Japanese salvation movement in Taihu Lake.

Later, the Taihu County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established. He led and carried out the work of the party and the anti-Japanese salvation movement in Qianshan, Yuexi, Susong, Huaining, Wangjiang, Tongcheng, Yingshan, Huangmei and other counties, covering the entire southern and central Anhui regions.

Under the leadership of Xiaodao, a group of three people came to the office of the Motion Committee in Taihu. It is said to be an office, but it is actually a remote courtyard house, and it is very simple.

The person in charge was called Zhou Yi, and he knew that the pillar had come and led them to his office.

"Welcome to my burrow."

Zhou Yi was very polite, and then invited the three of them to sit on three old stools.

This is indeed a humble room, and the furniture is old and has a sour smell.

The pillar went straight in and asked, "Comrade Zhou, is there anything wrong with inviting us here?"

Zhou Yi sat in front of the office and said: "They are all revolutionary comrades, and when you come to Taihu Lake, I must do my best to be a landlord." You are all heroes in the Fifth War Zone. ”

"Passing the prize."

The pillar is not used to this kind of roundabout way of speaking. I went straight into the whole way and hit a soft nail.

Shao Fei smiled: "Okay." Taihu Lake is beautiful and beautiful, find a few people to take us on a tour and have a meal. It's so sour here. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "I came to you about Gui Jun."

The pillar asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Zhou Yi sighed: "They are a tiger. If you look at our offices, they are hostile to us, and it is very difficult for us to carry out our work. I have a hunch that sooner or later they will attack us and the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. ”

Zhou Yi's worries are not unreasonable. When they first came to Taihu County, the Gui army made it difficult for them many times, and arranged them in this remote place.

(Gui Jun thinks that they are here to divide power, how can they have a good face.) Later, because the New Fourth Army grabbed the territory of the Gui Army, the two sides made a big move, and the result can be imagined. ）

Zhu Zi smiled, "I still don't understand what you mean."

Zhou Yi said: "For the sake of your revolutionary future, I hope that you will keep your distance from the Gui Army, which has always been an enemy of our party. As for the incident at Huashanjian this time, I will not report it to my superiors. ”

Without waiting for the pillar to speak, Zhou Yi said: "Also, I hope you will leave the Wuhan War Zone as soon as possible and return to Shanxi."

The pillar replied, "When this battle is over, I will go back."

"Shao Fei is dead, you don't need to be here anymore. You have also helped the Dian army, and the task is completed. ”

The pillar was a little displeased, and said, "Pay attention to your words, it's not death, it's sacrifice."

Zhou Yi said with a little excitement: "But his sacrifice is not worth it, how many people regret it, do you know?" It's dangerous if you go on like this. ”

Zhou Yi was already very polite, spoke tactfully, and did not say anything that affected unity, some things were very taboo.

Zhu Zi stood up and said, "This is the largest battlefield in the country, and the special combat team should be here, and we can't control anything else." Also, our task has not been completed, and the Dian army still has Hubei. ”

Zhou Yi stood up and said, "Comrade Zhuzi, you are responsible for your actions. If there are casualties in the special operations team, you will bear all the responsibility. ”

"Of course I'm in charge. We belonged to the Yanbei Detachment of the Eighth Route Army and only obeyed the orders of our superiors. Let's go. ”

The pillar felt stuffy, and the meeting didn't end up happily.

"Pillars!"

After leaving the office, Shao Fei angrily stopped the pillar, and then said, "You shouldn't mention the Yanbei detachment." How can you call Commander Song embarrassed, and it is not an exaggeration to accuse him of setting up a mountain. ”

Shao Fei was very angry and walked towards the front alone.

The knife slapped the pillar and said, "You're too tender to be the captain."

After speaking, the knife followed Shao Fei.

This incident also more or less affected Commander Song's subsequent transfer. (I was transferred to Yan'an to study for six years.) ）
