After Sun Zhen finished explaining, he immediately returned to Lincheng. Wang Mingzhang gave Shao Fei a lot, he was just a young man in his early twenties. Wang Mingzhang didn't understand why the commander-in-chief of the group army would be so important to him.

Wang Mingzhang asked, "Are you Shao Fei?" What is the military rank in the 120 division? ”

Shao Fei replied: "It's the captain of a team of twelve."

Wang Mingzhang smiled lightly and said, "You go." You have absolute autonomy to fight as much as you like. But I don't have any equipment for you, and you can see that many of our own soldiers are still armed with broadswords. However, there is still food, and we will definitely not treat the Eighth Route Army badly. ”

"Okay." Shao Fei smiled confidently at Wang Mingzhang, saluted and left the command room.

General Sun Zhen once told Wang Mingzhang about Shao Fei's deeds, but Wang Mingzhang didn't believe it. Twelve people can do the work of a thousand people, and no one thinks it is incredible. In addition, Shao Fei is still so young, how can he have any battlefield experience.

Shao Fei left Wang Mingzhang's headquarters and returned to his team.

After Yang Hongtao saw Shao Fei, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, are we going to stay?"

Shao Fei replied, "Yes." We stayed in Tengxian first, collected grain, and learned about the layout of the county by the way. Wait until tomorrow the special operations team understands the surrounding terrain and is talking. ”

This area is completely unfamiliar to Shao Fei. How to fight this battle even Shao Fei himself didn't know.

Not long after Shao Fei left Wang Mingzhang's headquarters, Zhang Xuanwu, the head of the 727 Regiment, entered the headquarters.

Zhang Xuanwu asked directly: "Just now I saw a young man in the clothes of the common people leaving, is he the person the commander-in-chief has been waiting for?"

"yes. I really don't know what the commander thinks, giving him absolute autonomy. said that his twelve people and that company could top two Sichuan legions, who believed it. Hehe. ”

"I don't believe it either. It's not that the gods descend to earth, and they are invulnerable. But the division commander has to say it at both ends. People come all the way to help us with the Sichuan army, and we have to take care of them. The Sichuan army is by no means ungrateful, and in the more than 40 days I fought in Shanxi, the 129th Division helped us a lot. ”

Wang Mingzhang recalled the first tragic battle after leaving Sichuan, and the 22nd Group Army suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for the assistance of the 129th Division, who gave food and clothing, the loss might have been even greater.

"I know that the Sichuan people don't do ungrateful things. I'll send someone to arrange it. ”

After speaking, Wang Mingzhang pointed to the map on the table and ordered Zhang Xuanwu: "Give you a task, take your 727 regiment to build fortifications in the Beishahe area overnight,

You have to defend the Beisha River defense line for me like a nail. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xuanwu saluted and left the command room.

Wang Mingzhang immediately sent a squad of spies to place Shao Fei and them in Nancheng District. Maybe this is far from the front line, which can be regarded as special care for the Eighth Route Army.

Shao Fei understood the intention of the Sichuan army, but he didn't say much. If you want the other party to value yourself, you must speak with strength.

For dinner, the Sixth Company dined with the Sichuan army stationed in Teng County, and they were once again given special care, eating two white buns and pickles and fresh Chinese cabbage, while the Sichuan army only had one white bun and a little pickles. Yang Hongtao couldn't help but sigh that he was here to fight or to be a guest.

The next morning, the Sixth Company continued to stand by the county seat. The special combat team was divided into four groups to go to the county seat to reconnoiter the terrain and draw a map. And Shao Fei took Liu Ying to the area of the Jiehe River, after all, it was the first line of defense in Teng County.

The two walked through Longyang Town and found that there were more and more people on the side of the road. They have food in their hands, clothed in cloth, and shovels. Looking at the direction of their travel, it is also the line of defense along the boundary river.

At this time, Shao Fei found that there was a reporter in front of him who was filming this scene with a camera, and behind him stood two Sichuan soldiers.

"Hey, camera!" Liu Ying was very excited when she saw it, and rushed over desperately.

Shao Fei also walked over, and after a while, Liu Ying walked back disappointed.

Shao Fei asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ying replied disappointedly: "I wanted to take a picture with you, but the person refused."

"Huh." Shao Fei smiled and said, "People are war correspondents, how can they take private photos for us."

Liu Ying shouted unwillingly: "I just want to shoot!"

"Alright, look at me."

Shao Fei understood Liu Ying's intentions. If she sacrifices herself one day, at least Liu Ying still has a photo to send lovesickness. So, Shao Fei walked towards the reporter.

After some negotiations, the reporter agreed to take pictures of Shao Fei and the others.

After the shooting, the reporter said to Shao Fei: "Don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry." Shao Fei said and gave the reporter a Taisho 14-year-style pistol, and then said, "The katana is waiting for you to wash it, and the photo is for you."

The reporter asked curiously, "These things you brought?"

Shao Fei replied: "If you kill the devil and seize it, you can still get it."

The reporter became curious about the man in the clothes of the common people, and the two began to talk.

Later, Shao Fei learned that this reporter was Fan Changjiang, a famous reporter of "Ta Kung Pao", and he also learned from him about the touching deeds of the people of Teng who vigorously supported the Sichuan Army in the War of Resistance.

In addition to boiling tea and delivering water to the Sichuan army, preparing grain and grass, vacating houses and houses, guiding the way, spying on the enemy's situation, and assisting in standing guard and sentry, the people of Tengxian County also helped repair trenches, dig bunkers, and organize volunteer teams, ambulance teams, stretcher teams, and transport teams.

Wang Shijun, commander of the 125th Division of the 45th Army, once ordered the troops to dissuade the people from giving gifts. However, there is still a constant stream of people giving gifts from various villages.

Fan Changjiang told Shao Fei that according to statistics at the end of January, more than 100 pigs, more than 1,000 catties of vermicelli, and more than 10,000 catties of Chinese cabbage were sent to the division headquarters. Regardless of whether the troops receive it or not, they will send it and leave. The town shops were unanimously discussed, and the old calendar year was closed to give preferential treatment to the Sichuan army, and prices would not be raised.

When the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan, it was autumn, and they wore shorts and straw sandals, but they did not have time to change due to frequent wars. After the people of Teng County saw it, they couldn't bear it, and they sent military clothes and cotton clothes one after another.

The officers and men of the Sichuan army were greatly moved and inspired. The anti-Japanese patriotic action of the people of Teng County to support the army also greatly boosted the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and men.

Subsequently, Shao Fei, accompanied by Fan Changjiang, came to the defense line along the Jiehe River. As Fan Changjiang said, a large number of people took tools to help the Sichuan army build fortifications.

Fan Changjiang sighed: "Although the Sichuan army is a miscellaneous army, it is a grateful army. The people of Teng County are so treated, will they not be willing to forget their lives to defend Teng County. But that's not all......"

Fan Changjiang also told Shao Fei that the Sichuan army was a ragtag army that no one wanted, and no war zone was willing to take it in. Later, through Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone accepted the Sichuan army and treated them with courtesy.

In the year since the Sichuan army left Sichuan, the weapons have not been replaced. General Li Zongren did everything possible to donate all the weapons that could be used to the Sichuan army. When leaving Xuzhou, Li Zongren organized the people of Xuzhou to personally send the Sichuan army north to the front.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army were all grateful and issued slogans vowing to live and die together in Teng County.
