Cheng Xiangyu enthusiastically let Liu Hong and others into the house, and after sitting down, he hurriedly asked someone to pour tea and water, and then asked about Liu Hong and others.

Liu Hong smiled and said: "At that time, we also lost contact with the main force, and later learned that the main force was going south, so I rushed to Shenxian to meet the main force, and then broke through the encirclement of the devils with the main force and retreated to the western Hebei region." Later, Commander Lu ordered us to form a military engineering team, return to the Eighth Army Division, gather our comrades-in-arms scattered all over the country, continue to persist in guerrilla warfare, and prepare to rebuild the base area. ”

Wu Feng hurriedly added: "In the battle of the main force to break through, Liu Hong repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and was appointed by Commander Lu as the captain of the martial arts team, and I served as the deputy captain. ”

When Cheng Xiangyu heard that Liu Hong was the captain of the martial arts team, he couldn't help but change his face slightly, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Comrade Liu Hong on his promotion to the captain of the martial arts team." ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Whatever is high or not promoted, they are all anti-Japanese devils, and everything is not the same." ”

Cheng Xiangyu nodded slightly, and then asked in disbelief: "Wu Feng said that he killed Zhang Hongzhi just now, but is Zhang Hongzhi, the captain of the plainclothes team?" ”

"Of course, who else but him! Our martial arts team risked death to sneak into Xianxian County, Shen these dogs were drunk, and served them in a pot, not only Zhang Hongzhi and his gang of dogs, but also the captain of the garrison team in Xianxian County, who was called Aoki's guy, was also killed by us. Wu Feng said with a smug face.

"Good! Good! Well done! Cheng Xiangyu said with a smile: "Zhang Hongzhi, a big traitor, I don't know how many of our comrades have been killed, it's good to kill!" Killing this dog traitor can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ”

Liu Hong just smiled slightly, didn't say anything, picked up the tea jar and took a sip of tea casually.

Cheng Xiangyu's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Your martial arts team has arrived at Cai Zhuangzi, even if you are home, just stay and work with us!" It just so happens that I'm short of manpower here. ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said, "Before we returned to Jizhong, Commander Lu specially explained to us, and after we returned, we gathered the comrades who stayed in Jizhong to re-establish the base area. Our martial arts team came to Cai Zhuangzi with this intention, I don't know how Section Chief Cheng plans to arrange it? ”

Cheng Xiangyu said with a smile: "I think so, your martial arts team can be temporarily organized into a company, with Comrade Wu Feng as the company commander, as for Comrade Liu Hong, you can serve as my deputy regiment commander, it just so happens that I also lack a capable helper." ”

"That's not good!" Liu Hong smiled and said: "Our Eighth Route Army is disciplined, and we must obey the arrangements of the organization, I think it is better to consult the command!" Let the head of the military district arrange it. ”

Cheng Xiangyu looked displeased, and said with a wry smile: "What you said is light, the main force has withdrawn to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, how can we contact the headquarters?" ”

Wu Ming smiled and said: "When our military engineering team set off, we specially brought a radio station, which can directly contact the headquarters of the Jizhong Military Region, we still report the situation here to the headquarters and wait for the instructions of the head of the military region!" ”

Cheng Xiangyu's face became even more ugly, but Liu Hong said so, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and say, "Okay then!" It's not too early, I've already ordered the cooking class to cook, let's finish eating! Oh! By the way, I still need to go to the sentry post, so I can't accompany you, so please forgive me. ”

Liu Hong smiled and said: "Section Chief Cheng is busy, everyone is their own people, there is no need to be so polite." ”

The martial arts team was arranged in several small courtyards in the village and lived in the homes of fellow villagers. After Liu Hong returned, he immediately instructed the glasses to send a telegram to Commander Lu, and truthfully reported the situation here to the headquarters.

Wu Feng said with a displeased face: "What kind of thing is he Cheng Xiangyu?" He made a regiment leader, and thought that he would really become the head of the regiment, but taking advantage of the current chaotic situation, he added himself to the rank of knight, and it was a loss to him to do it. ”

"This is called the king of the monkey without a tiger in the mountains." Zhao Lei interjected and said: "Although I didn't know this Cheng Xiangyu before, but after only this contact, I know that this guy is not a good thing, and he blatantly wants to annex our martial arts team." ”

Bai Ling also said a little unhappily: "Our martial arts team directly accepts the command of Commander Lu, when will it be his turn to dictate." ”

Liu Hong frowned and said: "This Cheng Xiangyu doesn't know how to lead troops at all, but he is still self-righteous, if the troops are handed over to him, it will be troublesome." However, this is an extraordinary period, and everything must be done in order to take the overall situation first and undermine unity, so let's wait for Commander Lu's order. ”

As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, he hurriedly ran over with a telegram in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Commander Lu called back." ”

Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took the telegram, read it carefully, nodded with a smile and said, "It's still the commander Gao Ming!" ”

Wu Feng also leaned over to take a look, and then said excitedly: "Great, with the commander's order, we are equivalent to having Shang Fang's sword, and I am worried that Cheng Xiangyu is not obedient, let's go to him now." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry at this time, let's eat first, and then go to him after eating." ”

At this time, the soldiers bought some food from the villagers and had already prepared a meal. Although the meal was simple, the warriors were quite satisfied with a hot and full meal.

Several people were eating around a table, when a team member hurriedly ran in and said anxiously: "Captain, it's not good!" That head Cheng sent someone to quietly surround us. ”

"What? What does this dog want to do? Wu Feng angrily slammed his chopsticks on the table and scolded loudly.

Liu Hong couldn't help frowning, and then ordered: "Inform the soldiers not to act rashly, strengthen their vigilance, and I will go to find the one surnamed Cheng." ”

Liu Hong also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he didn't care about eating, and took Wu Feng, Zhao Lei and Bai Ling to prepare to find Cheng Xiangyu, as soon as he got out of the courtyard, he found that in the courtyards next to him, there were several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army looking at this side, Liu Hong couldn't help but snort coldly, ignored these people, and accelerated his pace to the so-called regimental headquarters of the revenge group.

At this time, several people had gathered in this regiment headquarters, all of whom were Cheng Xiangyu's cronies, and after seeing Liu Hong, Cheng Xiangyu sneered and said: "Liu Hong, you are here, I was about to send someone to find you." ”
