Originally, according to Yang Zhen's order. Hurried to accept an important task. But he didn't want to be disarmed and detained as soon as he arrived at Yang Zhen's headquarters, and after being confiscated and taken to his sidearms, he looked at Yang Zhen with some surprise. I don't know what kind of play this young commander has a face that is compared to Changbai Mountain at the moment.

Yang Zhen had a gloomy face, ordered someone to escort over the few traitors who were captured by the vanguard company, and after throwing a few confessions in front of the three people, he said angrily: "The headquarters handed over a subdivision to you, and you guys are so messed up?" A county brigade is rotten like this right under your noses, and you have been indifferent for so long? I, the commander of the military region, didn't I know until the little devil's bayonet was pressed to my chest? ”

After the three of them took the confession and read it, cold sweat flowed down instantly. Especially for Chai Shirong, who was resolutely opposed to Wang Xiaoming's desire to disband the county brigade before, he was almost completely beaten through cold sweat. He knew the few people who were now squatting in Yang Zhen's headquarters like a nest. Especially the squadron leader who was his old guard, he was even more familiar. He didn't expect that the person he once trusted the most was now a traitor.

Seeing Chai Shirong's first surprise, then remorse, and even some painful expressions after seeing the confession, Yang Zhen shook his head and said nothing. He had seen this expression on the faces of both the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping. This squadron leader was his previous guard, and if he could be put down, he was probably also the person he knew best, and he was also the person he had the most confidence in.

Now that the person he has the most confidence in has betrayed the cause he had fought for all his life for the sake of a few prostitutes, and betrayed the old chief who had cultivated himself single-handedly and gave him almost no choice and trust, the pain in his heart can be imagined.

Compared with Li Tai and Wang Ruqi, who were also surprised but only surprised, and did not realize the pain of being betrayed by their closest people, Yang Zhen did not know whether to sympathize or be angry at this person who had served as the commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

After the establishment of the Luobei County Brigade, Yang Zhen didn't believe that he didn't know anything about it. Moreover, Wang Xiaoming once reported to the military region several times because of the matter of the Luobei County Brigade. After being temporarily seconded back to the Second Brigade, he made a special trip to make a separate report to Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen didn't believe that Wang Xiaoming had never been behind his back, and these things were not raised at the sub-district party committee first.

Maybe he doesn't know the whole situation of the county brigade, but these people spend all day drinking under his nose, and they have developed into eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and smoking, and he has an unshirkable responsibility as the top boss. It is precisely because of his indulgence that these people have come to this point.

If he could listen to Wang Xiaoming's advice, he would have made up his mind as soon as possible and disbanded this county brigade. Even if he only strictly implements the new political work policy and strengthens discipline, this army will not degenerate to the point it is today. Maybe things won't get to where they are today. Nor will these people go to the point of no return.

Regarding the fact that the war was tight, he summoned a few people back from the front line and detained them by his side, Yang Zhen did not think that they were also involved. For the character of several people, Yang Zhen is confident or still believes.

The reason why they were transferred back and temporarily detained in their own headquarters was that they were afraid that they would be involved without their knowledge. Second, they are also worried that they will not be able to do anything to their old subordinates, and eventually cause an irreparable situation. Transferring these people back is surveillance, but it is also protection.

And believe in it, but in the current extremely tense situation, the precautions to be taken are still to be done. It is impossible for these people to rebel, and Yang Zhen has this confidence. But there's no guarantee that those people won't wrap them up when the dog jumps over the wall.

Regarding what happened to the Luobei County Brigade, Yang Zhen was not surprised. In the past, the various departments of the Anti-Japanese Federation had invaded many county towns many times. But mostly in a hurry, in a hurry. Now these people, who have been fighting hard in the deep mountains and old forests, are easily dazzled when they enter the world of flowers.

Not to mention these cadres and fighters who can only be regarded as grassroots commanders and fighters, that is, those high-ranking cadres who know themselves, how many of them were knocked down by sugar-coated shells after liberation? Not to mention anything else, is the incident of the first-class main division commander of the former 15th Army Corps, the four main regiment commanders of the 115th Division, who he is familiar with, defecting together with the chief of staff, doesn't it also prove that many people were not knocked down by the enemy's bullets on the battlefield, but were knocked down by sugar-coated shells after entering the city?

Now, although I am far from being able to say that I have achieved the trend of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves of the later People's Liberation Army, there are more small county towns with the size of a palm in the base areas. But after all, it is a town, and thanks to the characteristics of this era, there should be a lot of it.

These veteran anti-Japanese fighters who have been dormant in the mountains and forests for a long time, and even have no food and clothing for several days, are easily confused by this kind of life, and even precipitate in it. Yang Zhen once heard the commander-in-chief say that the Japanese army once used planes to drop ** photos of women all over the sky in order to break the will to fight of the Anti-Japanese Federation, which once brought considerable trouble to the troops.

A hard-fought army, perhaps on the battlefield they have never been afraid of sacrifice. But when faced with another kind of test, many people are often brought down by this silent battle. Half of the men are women, and when facing the different kind of gentleness of women, many men who are not afraid of life and death on the battlefield are knocked down.

Looking at the few people who were silent, Yang Zhen sighed and said, "I'm really afraid that a few of you will also be involved." No one wants to see this kind of thing happen, but we have to face it when it happens. Since the pustule has been discovered, it will not turn into cancer if it is squeezed out early. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Chai Shirong and said, "I have already sent someone to Luobei County to disarm them. And I have already explained to Gao Yu ** of the Political Department of the Military Region, so if the person involved dares to resist, no matter who he is, how much credit he has made before, and how high his position is, he can cut it first and then play. All of them will be killed on the spot, and they must not be soft-hearted, and then they will be reported to the headquarters. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's categorical words, especially hearing that whoever dared to resist would be killed on the spot, Chai Shirong was taken aback. But looking at Yang Zhen, who had a stern expression and no room for negotiation, wanted to open his mouth to intercede for a few old subordinates, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't open his mouth. After a sigh, he lowered his head.

He knew that according to the style of his subordinates, not to mention that the discipline of the army was extremely strong now, dozens of times stricter than before. Even according to the requirements of the old discipline before himself, it is an unforgivable sin.

If these people are really allowed to succeed, not only the huge amount of materials hoarded in Luobei and the people evacuated here, but also the Northeast Bureau and the military region headquarters will be wiped out. And he, the commander of the first division, will also become a turtle in the urn. Plead? It's not a bad thing to cut them off.

Yang Zhen looked at a few people who bowed their heads and were silent, with a look of shame, shook his head, turned around and continued to look at the map, and put his mind on the battle on the front line of the birch tube. Except for Li Tai, these people are all the old subordinates of the commander-in-chief. In particular, the former commander of the Fifth Army was picked up by the commander-in-chief. How to deal with it still needs to be discussed with the commander-in-chief.

Yang Zhen's coldness made several people who were ashamed of themselves dare not say more. It wasn't until Yang Zhen received Gao Yumin's telegram that he had disarmed all the Luobei County brigades that were trying to rebel and confirmed that several people were indeed not involved with these people, that his face was slightly better.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Zhen personally drafted a telegram to Gao Yumin for disposal. Yang Zhen's attitude is very clear, neither allowed to expand indefinitely, nor let go of a person. It is necessary not only to maintain a certain degree, but also to completely remove the moths in a subdistrict and local government.

After drafting the reply to Gao Yumin, Yang Zhen knocked on the ammunition box that temporarily served as a table, and signaled the little tiger next to him to return the weapons of several people to them, and then said to the three people: "The first subdivision is the only transportation artery connecting the military region and Jiangbei. The headquarters has handed over this place to you a sub-division and appointed you as the head of a sub-division, and has put the only external lifeline of the army in your hands, which is a sign of trust in a few of you. ”

"I don't care if you were from the Fourth Army or the Fifth Army before, whether you were from the Second Route Army or the Third Route Army. But now you're all working together in one district, and you're going to have to work together with each other. When you go back, you should sum up your lessons and look for your own faults. If there is a problem, you can't run away from it, let alone condone it. ”

"Don't think that they are all their old subordinates, and they are the old cadres who are being tested, so relax the requirements. Just because they are your old subordinates should not turn a blind eye to the problems that happen to them. The more old subordinates you are, the stricter the requirements will be. If, because of the length of time you have been working for your subordinates, you will be separated from each other in terms of proximity, distance, and proximity, I think there is something wrong with your thinking. ”

"Li Tai, in Wang Xiaoming's absence, you are the acting political committee member and the first secretary of the sub-district party committee. The problem was found, why not stick to the principle and deal with it as soon as possible. Is it because those people are not your direct subordinates in the Third Army, but the original Second Route Army and Fifth Army, that you are not easy to deal with? ”

"After Wang Xiaoming was seconded, the headquarters appointed you as the acting political committee member and the acting first secretary of the sub-district party committee, not for you to be an ornament. If we only use one nodding lord, what else do we appoint the party committee for? Why don't you dare to stick to your principles? ”

"Have you read the rules of work for political committee members issued by the military region several times? Several times I have held a study class for political committee members, have you learned what is in the belly of a dog? I don't think the standing committee of your military sub-district is normal. Why do you not support Wang Xiaoming's several mentions, which you know are correct? Don't dare, or don't you want to? Are we the party commanding the gun, or the gun commanding the party? ”

Yang Zhen was criticizing Li Tai on the surface, but in fact, he expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with Chai Shirong. After Wang Xiaoming went to work in the first division, he proposed to return to the main force several times. He even proposed that as long as he could return to the main work, he would be a battalion instructor. Although I didn't say it directly, the meaning was expressed.

He and the commander of the military sub-district could not get along, and the work could not be carried out at all. Among the four members of the Standing Committee, the deputy political commissar and the chief of staff, who were transferred from the former Seventh Army and the Third Route Army, were like two mud bodhisattvas, silently and rarely expressed their opinions. Wang Xiaoming was often isolated in the Standing Committee of the Military Sub-district, and this first secretary was in name only.

It's not that Chai Shirong has any thoughts about political work, but his concept is too old-fashioned. Whether it is one thing to say or a thing to do, it is still the old habit of the original Anti-United Nations. I don't know anything about the political work that is now being used by the troops, and I don't want to know about it. He still regards the political commissar as his deputy political worker, rather than as the chief political officer of a unit at the same level as himself.

Originally, Yang Zhen wanted to wait for the battle to end and have a good talk with the two of them, and try to alleviate the contradictions between the two sides. After all, there is no fundamental contradiction between the two sides, all that is just a difference in concept. It is far from rising from the contradiction between friend and foe.

However, after the incident of the Luobei County Brigade, Yang Zhen felt that this Chai army commander had too heavy guerrilla habits and did not study hard, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to serve as the commander of a military division with an extremely critical position. Originally, I was still a little hesitant, and I wanted to discuss with the commander-in-chief, and definitely deal with a few people in a division.

But now Yang Zhen has made up his mind that after the battle is over, he will be transferred back to the headquarters to work. At least study for a while. As for the commander of the 1st Division, Chen Hanzhang, the commander of the 5th Division of the 2nd Army, who was transferred back to the General Headquarters to serve as deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Region after Yang Zhen consulted with the head of the 1st Army, served as the commander. And this Chai army commander will be transferred back to the headquarters first and serve as deputy chief of staff for a period of time.

Yang Zhen made up his mind and said to the three: "Li Tai, you immediately rush back to Luobei County and assist Gao Yumin of the Political Department of the Military Region in dealing with the Luobei County Brigade incident." As for Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi, you will stay at the headquarters to assist in the work first, and the rest will be talked about after this battle is over. As for the troops of the 1st Division, they are now under the direct command of the commissar for the time being. ”

After that, Yang Zhen didn't care about the uncertain face of a few people after listening to his own disposition, he stood up directly, brought Chai Shirong and Wang Ruqi to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Our army is now blocking the main two brigades of the 22nd Wing of the 24th Division of the Japanese Army on the first line of the birch tube. ”

"Although our army currently has an advantage over the Japanese army in terms of equipment and strength, the current situation is very passive. Due to the disparity in individual forces and tactical combinations, our superiority in strength and firepower has not given us much of a real advantage so far. ”

"Now that you two are here, you're here to help me fight this battle. I decided that Chai Shirong would command the Independent Regiment and the guard platoon of your 1st Division to detour to the Shuangquan line on the flank of the Japanese army. Wang Ruqi commanded the rest of the troops to launch counterattacks from the front. Adopt a combination of frontal and flank tactics to defeat the main force of the 22nd Wing in a battle. ”

"Judging from the few Japanese prisoners captured, the 22nd Wing is now short of food and ammunition, and the heavy weapons above the heavy machine gun are almost lost, and it is the best opportunity for us to defeat it in one fell swoop. Otherwise, once the Japanese army starts to drop supplies to them, we will want to eat them in the future and we don't know how much it will cost. ”

For these people, Yang Zhen should still use it. Since they can't be put back for the time being, then in the current situation of their lack of commanders, they are just temporarily arrested as substitutes.
