"Commander, bring a few more people." Liu Dong looked helpless beside him.

"No, just let Yuan Fang come with me. This is not a war, isn't it underestimated to bring so many people? Their Eighth Route Army came to me to discuss the big matter of fighting devils, and they won't play any tricks, so you can rest assured! Hu Fei didn't care about the gun box on his back to tidy up his clothes, and Yuan Fang just stood next to him and didn't interject.

"Or, when Section Chief Zhang comes back, you will take her with you?"

"Yayi followed Xiao Nan to Jiaocheng, when do I have to wait for her? People invited me to come by noon today, and it would be rude for us to go late. Hu Fei saluted Liu Dong, "How about it, my military salute is still standard, right?" ”

Liu Dong returned the salute with a smile and a smile, and had to give an evaluation in his mouth, "Standard, the absolute standard of military salute." However, Commander, you should be careful when you contact the Eighth Road. It would be bad if it spread and the people in the Chief's Department would misunderstand. At the end, Liu Dong automatically lowered his voice, as if he could keep it a secret.

"What misunderstanding? The Eighth Route Army is now also a national army, and they are also an anti-Japanese army. How? Lao Tzu and his allies can be misunderstood when they meet? What is the matter with a telegram from the Commander's Department of the Theater asking me to provide convenience and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to fight the Battle of 100 Regiments? Can anyone still say that he, Yan Xishan, has also joined the Eighth Path? I said that you are just worrying about the sky, it's okay to think more about how to fight devils, and think less about these messy things, okay? ”

"Yes, yes, the commander said." The chief of staff nodded again and again, but his persuasion obviously did not mean to stop there, "Wang Mengzi is a deputy brigade commander, and you are the commander of the major general column officially appointed by the Military Commission." It's to discuss the military situation, why does he have to come to us, right? You took the initiative to go over, isn't this a bit inconsistent with your identity? ”

"You!" Hu Fei glared and wanted to get angry, but in the end he still showed a wry smile, "I said Brother Dong, you don't want me to say any other reason." It's true that he Wang Mengzi is the deputy brigade commander, but the Eighth Route Army is fighting hard with the devils on the battlefield, and invited me, who has not been on the battlefield, to discuss the matter of cooperation in the war, is it interesting for us to pay so much attention to it? Forget it, don't say anything, I'll be careful. ”

Seeing Hu Fei's impatient appearance, Liu Dong couldn't go any further. turned around and told Hu Fei's bodyguard again, "Yuan Fang, you must be vigilant and be more careful when you go out with the commander this time." If you encounter something, you have to make sure that the commander comes back safe and sound. ”

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, Yuan Fang will ensure the safety of the commander even if he doesn't want to die!"

"That's what I'm worried about about you!" Liu Dong stomped his foot heavily, his face full of expressions that I knew would be like this, "You are the commander's guard, who will protect the commander if you don't want to die?" I'll tell you......"

It wasn't until Hu Fei finished packing up and walked out that Yuan Fang was able to get rid of Liu Dong's mental torture, and when he went out of the gate, he looked back with palpitations. When the senza saw him turn around, he hurriedly made another gesture, and Yuan Fang immediately hugged his fists with a smiling face.

Out of the barracks, the two of them hurried to the garrison of the Eighth Route Army. This time, Hu Fei received an invitation from the deputy brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army, nicknamed Wang Mengzi, to go through the camp to discuss the coordination of the two armies. Liu Dong considered the problem more comprehensively, and he was worried that the news of Hu Fei's unauthorized contact with the Eighth Route Army would arouse the vigilance of some people.

In fact, this worry is a bit redundant, Hu Fei is not a party member in the first place. Don't look at him, he has now done the job of a major general commander, but he still has not participated in any party and is only thinking about the war of resistance. Whoever fights devils, he will be close to whomever he wants. Although this kind of person is a little troublesome when choosing a position after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there are quite a number of enthusiastic soldiers who have the same attitude as Hu Fei.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and they galloped for less than two hours before they came to a certain station of the Eighth Route Army. Deputy Brigade Commander Wang warmly took out the camp gate and shook hands with Hu Fei, "Commander Hu has worked hard all the way, please please come inside!" ”

Entering the living room, the guests and hosts were seated, and the guards brought a bowl of tea to each person. There are two tea leaves floating in the coarse porcelain bowl, and there is a faint fragrance in the clear tea soup.

"A big bowl of coarse tea is also invited to Haihan. There is no way, now that the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are difficult, Commander Hu should not be surprised. Deputy Brigade Commander Wang first said a few polite words, and then said a few homely words to Hu Fei, "I heard that when the Pingxingguan War was fought at the beginning, Commander Hu had a basis for cooperation with our army." ”

Hu Fei was shocked, people know him quite well. "Hehe, yes, at that time I appreciated the courage and wit of the Eighth Route Army. In particular, the commanders of your army, Lin Division, and Nie's political commissar were even more admired by Hu. ”

"Yes, the commanding art of Senior Commander Lin and Political Commissar Nie has always been an example for us to learn. I took the liberty of inviting Commander Hu over today, in fact, I have an important matter I want to discuss with you. Supposedly, I should have come to visit Commander Hu, but recently I can't do without it. That's when Commander Hu came over, and I ask Commander Hu for forgiveness if there is rudeness. ”

"Deputy Brigade Commander Wang is too polite, we are all anti-Japanese soldiers, as long as it is for the anti-Japanese war, who goes to whom is different? What's not rude? "People are polite, Hu Fei will be even more polite, and as soon as he said a few words, the distance between the two immediately shortened a lot." Commander Wang invited me to come this time, please tell me directly. You and I are both soldiers, so it's better to go straight to the point. ”

"Hehe, Commander Hu is really fast-talking, happy! That's the case, our department was ordered to attack the Yangquan to Yuci section of the Zhengtai Railway. I heard that some time ago, Commander Hu led his troops to fight with the defenders of Yuci, and you also incorporated Yuci's puppet army. I think your army should be more familiar with Yuci. ”

"So, this time I invited Commander Hu to come over to discuss the issue of cooperation in the operation. I would like to ask your 88th Column to contain the enemy in Yuci a little when our army is attacking and fighting. This will give our army more time to sabotage the railway. I wonder if Commander Hu is willing to cooperate? ”

Are you willing to cooperate? Of course I do! As long as it's a devil, Hu Fei is willing to do it all! One side makes demands, and the other side is all willing, can this negotiation not go smoothly? The intention was set, and the details of the specific cooperation were discussed. Of course, there is no way to determine too fine details, there are too many variables on the battlefield, and what can be determined now is only a general direction.

Seeing that the time was almost noon, Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Liuhu had lunch together. Hu Fei didn't care, just eat, what is a meal? How did he know that when the meal was served, Hu Fei was stunned.
