It's just that Yang Zhen didn't expect it. When Chen Shaobin was announced that he had been sentenced to death, he seemed very calm. That is, there is no pleading, and there is no explanation. Just looked at Li Zhaolin and other leaders of the Third Route Army lightly and said: "Since some things have become a mystery that cannot be explained, let's let it continue to be a mystery." ”

"I know what I've done and what everyone has done in these things, and you know that it's better not to say some things. Commander-in-Chief Lee, I will bless you when I get there. Especially you, Commander-in-Chief Lee. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled weirdly and said to the highest commanders of the Third Route Army: "I forgot to tell you that Zhao Shangzhi has been released by Jiangbei." In the next few days, I will return home with the central delegation. Commander-in-Chief Li, General Political Commissar Feng, Secretary Jin, you can do it yourself. ”

After that, he glanced at Yang Zhen on the side and said: "Although I am a traitor, I am still the division commander of the Third Route Army, and I think it is better for this task to be executed by the people of the Third Route Army." There will be no Lao Second Route Army. ”

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang, your head turns fast enough, and your methods are ruthless enough, which I admire. I'm afraid your distrust of the Third Route Army is not a day or two, otherwise why would those people of yours be so wary of my subordinates? ”

"My lieutenant, I know that I am very cautious, but I did not expect that you would find out about this. If you didn't trust the Third Route Army, why would you stare at my subordinates? ”

"I think you have long had the intention of annexing the Third Route Army. Otherwise, you will not arrest a division commander of the Third Route Army without consultation, and also integrate the remaining troops of the Third Route Army into your Second Route Army on the spot. If you didn't first consult with a few leaders of the Third Route Army and directly arrested me, you wouldn't want to use me to attack the prestige of the commander of the Third Route Army, right? ”

"In addition, don't forget, no matter what you can do, you have to rely on the Jiangbei side. Do you really think their military equipment is so easy to hold? You shot me today, and you will have to suffer for you in the future. Do you really think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviets will be an open-minded master? I'm also a major over there, and I've been awarded the NKVD Order of the People's Republic of China. ”

"I'll leave my words here today, if you insist on killing me today, they will find an opportunity to take revenge on you tomorrow. Don't believe me, let's see? And if you asked your commander-in-chief to bring Zhao Shangzhi back, you weren't worried that his return would set off a bloody storm in the Third Route Army? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, forget about it, for you, the more chaotic the Third Route Army, the better." The more chaotic it is, the more convenient it is for you to start and annex the troops of the Third Route Army. ”

Hearing his words, Feng Zhongyun and Jin Ce didn't have anything, but Li Zhaolin's already pale face turned even paler. Yang Zhen, who was present, frowned slightly, as if he felt something? Although Chen Shaobin's words sounded a little like the truth, in Yang Zhen's ears, there was always a strong sense of provocation, although he heard the meaning of provocation in his words, Yang Zhen didn't care at all, and smiled faintly: "You won't have to worry about things in the future." I still understand the truth that the pure ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid. You don't need to sow discord here and divide the relationship between the second and third route armies. ”

"Also, I can clearly tell you that mutual use is also based on strength. If you don't have the strength to match, no one will give you anything even if you ask for food. ”

"That's right, I asked for some supplies from Jiangbei, but these materials didn't come for nothing, we exchanged things. He gives the icing on the cake, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't. Although I have many shortcomings, I have an advantage, that is, I know that I still rely on myself in the end. There is no such thing as a free lunch, I remember this sentence very clearly. ”

"In addition, by the way, I will tell you, when you go over there, remember that you will be a human in the next life, not a dog. What's more, it's still an unfamiliar dog. The three surnames are not so easy to be slaves. But I doubt you'll have a second life. Those cadres and soldiers of the Third Route Army who died because of your betrayal will spare you over there. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen waved his hand and motioned to the people around him to find all the cadres and soldiers of the First Division of the Sixth Army. Since he chose to ask to be shot by his old subordinates, Yang Zhen didn't mind fulfilling his wish. But Yang Zhen's move was stopped by Li Zhaolin.

After stopping Yang Zhen's move to send someone to find Chen Shaobin's subordinates, Li Zhaolin motioned to the two personal guards beside him and said, "You go and send Master Chen off." Shoot accurately, don't let him suffer too much. In any case, he still contributed to the Sixth Army. He also made meritorious contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance. ”

The guards who received his instructions were not ambiguous, broke the nose of the pot-bellied box in their hands, and with the cooperation of Li Mingrui's subordinates, executed Chen Shaobin and the puppet Manchurian police chief who was arrested at the same time as him. One shot kills, and it's done cleanly.

When the gunshots fell, looking at Chen Shaobin's body, the scene suddenly fell silent, and the silence was even a little scary. And this embarrassment was not broken until the news that the central delegation sent by the commander-in-chief from Jiangbei had arrived in Boli and would cross the river in Luobei tomorrow night.

Regarding Chen Shaobin's obviously provocative words before his death, Yang Zhen didn't care at that time. It wasn't until much later that he realized how much trouble this guy had caused him with his dying words. Not only did he throw an olive branch to the Third Route Army, but the other party always seemed very hesitant to say it. When we cooperate with each other in combat, we always have a somewhat defensive mentality.

The Soviet Union has also repeatedly set up obstacles to its own transit personnel and materials, and almost every time they have to go through hard work before they are released. The supplies purchased from the Soviet side by themselves also did not have the previous discounts. Although the price cannot be said to be extremely expensive, it has repeatedly been shoddy and delayed. If it weren't for Kovalev's great help, I'm afraid it would be nice to have half of the amount he bought.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and the trouble that Chen Shaobin brought to Yang Zhen is still unknown to him. What he knew now was that when he went to Luobei to meet the central delegation the next day, the eyes of the current commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army were obviously undereyed, and he looked like he had not slept all night. When he saw Yang Zhen, he smiled very reluctantly.

Yang Zhen naturally knew the reason for the commander-in-chief's insomnia, but Yang Zhen, who was not good at upsetting people's old backgrounds, did not say it explicitly. After breakfast, after Yang Zhen handed over the troops to Guo Bingxun, he and Li Yanping took several leaders of the Third Route Army Headquarters to Luobei at the fastest speed.

In order to rush to the scheduled pick-up location as soon as possible, in Mingshan Town, west of Luobei County, Yang Zhen and his party didn't even eat lunch along the way.

In order to receive the central delegation, Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and pulled out part of the stockpiled gasoline. Twenty Japanese trucks in the best condition were selected from the existing Japanese trucks, plus the two Nissan 70 high-ranking officer vehicles captured in Jiamusi as the special vehicles of Kenji Dohihara and Shigeru Sawada.

Yang Zhen, who was distressed about the gasoline pumped out, couldn't help but scold the little devil for being too picky and too realistic. The railway was repaired to Xingshan Street in the north of Hebei, and further north was not repaired an inch. If the railway is repaired to even Zhaoxing, the county seat of Luobei, he will not take out so much gasoline at once.

You must know that in addition to the seized gasoline, the gasoline on hand is all bought from Jiangbei. In addition to the arsenal, which is a large user, it is necessary to leave the necessary reserves and supply of several high-power radios, as well as the necessary training of drivers for use. After going back and forth, the amount of gasoline left is really not much.

I usually ride a horse, and I never want to ride in a car once. In addition to the fact that most of the terrain in their own jurisdiction is mountainous and there is not much use for cars, gasoline is too precious and reluctant to use it is also a major reason.

To save gasoline. Although the number of seized cars is not small now, they are all mothballed except when necessary. On weekdays, if the troops want to use cars, they all need the signature of one of Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, and Guo Bingxun. Even the director of the logistics department, Peng Dingjie, and the political commissar Zhang Zhenhua are not allowed.

This time, Yang Zhen was asked to take out enough gasoline to supply twenty-two cars at one time, which can be described as a big bloodletting for Yang Zhen, who has always been a little stingy in this regard. Although the car in his hand is also produced by the little devil, it is different from the Japanese cars that have always been known for their fuel economy in later generations. Although the horsepower is not large, it is a bunch of oil tigers.

Its fuel consumption, in Yang Zhen's view, is no different from drinking oil. Looking at the buckets being pushed onto a car and used as spare gasoline, Yang Zhen's distressed heart was about to drip blood.

There is no way, twenty trucks is already the minimum number required. There are only two cars, which is not enough for so many people, and besides, there are the necessary guards and some attachés. There are also those materials that are transported back together, which need to be loaded in trucks.

Fortunately, the location of Xingshan Fortress is not far from the intended target Luobei Mingshan Town, and the gasoline filled up in the car's fuel tank when it set off finally arrived at the intended target before it was exhausted.

However, these cars are expensive to use, but the speed is not comparable to riding a horse and walking. Although the so-called border highway built by the little devil was a little rotten, fortunately, at two o'clock in the afternoon, before Yang Zhen's body and bones were shaken and scattered, he arrived at the small hill in the west of Mingshan Town.

Thinking that it was only a hundred kilometers away, and he actually let himself run for almost half a day, Yang Zhen couldn't help but despise the stinginess of the little devil again in his heart. In addition to the unskilled drivers and the fact that the speed of the convoy cannot be compared with that of bicycles, the poor quality of the roads built by the little devils is also the main reason.

Because of the special climate of Northeast China, the highways in Northeast China often turn over after spring. It's just that it looks good on the top, but it's a mess of mud on the bottom. It's easy for passing cars to get caught in it. And now although it is summer, several heavy rains in the past two days have made the road from Heli to Luobei itself not of good quality full of potholes.

This distance is not far away, and it will only take more than an hour to rest on the highway of later generations. If you run into someone who can drive a car as an airplane, it won't even take an hour's drive. But because of the extremely bad road conditions, I drove for nearly half a day.

After arriving at the scheduled pick-up location in the west of Mingshan Town, the correspondent immediately set up the radio station, and Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, and the three leaders of the Third Route Army waited patiently after having lunch. In Mingshan Town, a famous fishing town in Luobei, a well-known fishing town in Luobei, a battalion of Wang Guangyu's regiment, which had arrived first, had already begun to impose strict martial law with the cooperation of the basic regiment of the first sub-district.

It's just that although this side has long been ready to greet it, there has been no movement on the other side of the river. When the time passed minute by minute, except for Yang Zhen, who could at least maintain his composure on the surface, the rest of the leaders of the Third Route Army, who had been disappointed many times, were a little impetuous.

Fortunately, it is still coming after all. It's a little slower at times, but it's still coming. Just after Yang Zhen had waited for nearly ten hours, it was not until close to midnight that the other side of the river sent a signal that the ship had left the shore, and three red signal flares were fired.

After receiving the signal from the other side of the river, Yang Zhen immediately ordered to light the three roaring bonfires that were scheduled to be received here. After lighting the bonfire, Yang Zhen, who had been holding a telescope to carefully observe the situation in the river since receiving the signal from the other side, looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact, his nervous palms were oozing sweat.

When he thought of the person he was about to meet, he was both expectant and nervous. No matter what later generations say about this man, no one can erase his combat exploits and the tactical contributions of later generations to the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The top ten marshals, especially the one who was known as the fox of the black earth in later generations, and the marshal with great achievements, made Yang Zhen excited when he thought about it.

When a Soviet-style passenger and cargo ship with all lights turned off except for the navigation lights slowly approached the simple fishing wharf at the small hill at Yang Zhen's feet, Yang Zhen immediately walked down the mountain and walked quickly to the dock and stood respectfully on the wharf. Behind him, the sudden turn on of the headlights of ten cars illuminated the dock in a snow-white slanting.

Although he was already mentally prepared, after the commander-in-chief who got off the ship first introduced the people of the central delegation, Yang Zhen was still taken aback by the huge lineup of people who got off the ship. One of them does not count the marshals who have a later generation, but there are only three generals and three lieutenant generals in later generations.

Yang Zhen calculated that according to this scale, almost all the senior generals who stayed in the Soviet Union during the Anti-Japanese War came. Except for one who was later awarded the rank of lieutenant general as a military doctor, the rest of the people were all well-known generals in the PLA.
