Hearing the self-registration number of the person in front of him, Yang Zhen was startled. Judging from the situation of the Japanese puppet army's pursuit, he knew that there must be high-ranking cadres among these people, but he didn't expect that there was actually a commander of the Anti-Japanese Union in the middle. Although even in his heyday, the troops he commanded were similar to his current subordinates, but after all, he was the commander of an army.

Yang Zhen is now worried about how to go online with the Anti-Japanese Federation, and now he accidentally saved a commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation, which saves him a lot of effort. It's just that how to build mutual trust as much as possible is a slight headache for Yang Zhen. He knew that at this time, the Anti-Japanese Federation had been tossed by spies and traitors, and some of them were all soldiers.

However, people have already reported their homes, so Yang Zhen naturally can't say nothing. After sorting out the situation a little, Yang Zhen returned the salute: "We are the North Manchurian Independent Guerrilla Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army. I am the detachment leader, Yang Zhen, the former company commander of the 18th Group Army. ”

After introducing himself, Yang Zhen pointed to Guo Bingxun on the side and said, "This is Guo Bingxun, the deputy head and chief of staff of our detachment." ”

After that, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "We are all anti-Japanese soldiers who escaped from the devil concentration camp and were captured on the battlefield in Guannei. Some of them were the laborers we rescued. ”

Although Yang Zhen has decided to rely on the big tree of the Anti-Japanese Federation to take advantage of the shade first, at least for the time being, people have not yet accepted him. He was embarrassed to claim to be a member of the Anti-United Nations. So I hesitated for a moment, but I still introduced myself as a unit of the National Revolutionary Army.

Hearing Yang Zhen's self-introduction as the National Revolutionary Army, the commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance carefully looked at Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, frowned slightly, and then said with some doubts: "You are the troops of the National Government?" ”

It's not that he suspects that since the September 18 Incident, the Northeast Army withdrew to Guannai on all fronts, and no one from the so-called Nationalist Government has been seen on the land of Northeast China. As for the army, except for some of the volunteers who were composed of the former officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army and have now been mostly dispersed, they have never seen a single soldier.

No one would believe this cold and sudden emergence of an army of the Nationalist Government. Although Yang Zhen has stated that these people are all prisoners of war, it is difficult to be completely convinced, at least in a short period of time.

"Yes, we are all troops under the former National Government. But I'm from the original Eighteenth Army. Before our troops were reorganized into the Eighteenth Group Army, they also had a name called the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Regarding Li Yanping's suspicion, Yang Zhen was not surprised. However, according to the knowledge of these so-called staunch Bolshevists in later generations, the Nationalist Government was already very polite in the mouth of the army commander.

The Anti-Japanese Federation has been fighting alone, and its contact with the central government has been cut off for several years. After the return of the Central Committee representative in Moscow, under the deliberate concealment and blockade of information by the Soviet Union, he could only persist in the struggle independently.

They knew that the devils were attacking the whole of China on a large scale at this time, but they could only get a word about the real war situation, including the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at this time, from the newspapers of the puppet Manchurians. In the Anti-Japanese Federation, many people don't even know that the central government has arrived in Yan'an at this time, not to mention the army commanders, even the commanders and high-level leaders of the several route armies don't know about the situation of the central government at this time. Therefore, Yang Zhen did not express displeasure at Li Yanping's skeptical tone.

In the end, he studied in the Soviet Union, and for Yang Zhen to report that his unit turned out to be the Red Army, the commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation did not express Peng Dingjie's surprise at the beginning, but was extremely calm, as if talking to himself, and as if he intended to say it to Yang Zhen: "You said that the Red Army was reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army?" Did the Party Central Committee surrender to the Kuomintang? ”

"It's not about surrendering, it's about saving China. After the outbreak of the 77 Lugou Bridge Incident and the Japanese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, our party reorganized the Red Army into the Revolutionary Army in the name of the country in order to stop the civil war, unite with the outside world, and save China. ”

"The main force of the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. The three main fronts of the Red Army were reorganized into three divisions, the 115th, the 120th, and the 129th. The Red Army guerrillas that remained in the south were reorganized into the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. I was a company commander of the former 129th Division, and I was captured early this year when I was stunned by a shell when I was counterattacking the Japanese army's 9th Route siege in the southeast of Jinjin. ”

"It's not just me, most of the soldiers of the Eighteenth Army here were captured during the siege of the Ninth Route in Jinnan. The brothers of the former national army were basically captured in the Battle of Xuzhou. A few months ago, we had been escorted from the Peking prisoner of war camp to a Japanese concentration camp in Harbin. ”

"In order to survive and not become a victim of the devil's real yàn, in order to continue to fight the devil, the brothers paid a heavy price and stood out from the Japanese concentration camp. The brothers you see in front of you, except for some of the laborers we rescued in the Wudaolingzi Iron Mine, are all prisoners of war. ”

Yang Zhen gave a brief introduction to the situation of his troops, but he didn't say much. Some things are not rushed. If you talk too much, it will arouse the suspicion of others.

After all, it has lost direct contact with the central government for many years, and the Anti-Japanese Federation has been carrying out the so-called central line turned around by Moscow, and has an understanding of some things, but after all, it is not comprehensive. There are even some things that are only known in a few words.

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, although Li Yanping was still a little skeptical, his face was better than just now. However, even if he didn't believe Yang Zhen's words, he couldn't continue to ask. After all, someone had just saved his life.

While the two were talking, Patten Dingjie, who had already finished the battle, walked over. Seeing Peng Dingjie, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Maybe Commander Li still has some doubts about our current identity, and you may not be able to fully believe what I say." But you can talk to our political commissar about what you believe, he is your anti-union person. ”

After that, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun walked aside and left the venue to Peng Dingjie. He believes that there are some things that Patten will explain. After all, people are acquaintances, aren't they? Although the range of activities of the various armies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was divided into several disconnected sections by the Japanese army, the secret communication in the middle was never broken. Patten should have known this anti-coalition chief.

In fact, Yang Zhen has been a little uncomfortable in the face of the commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance who should have died in October this year. In the face of this famous martyr who has command ability and overall planning ability can only be regarded as modest, and his brother, who is the founder of the Fourth Army, who has been transferred to Moscow and transferred back to work in the Central Committee at this time, but he has always rushed to the front line of resistance against Japan, and has never given up even in the most difficult environment, until he died, it is difficult for Yang Zhen to say that he is free to retract and release.

The conversations between two people are often mixed with extremely complex feelings. It's really uncomfortable that your own admiration is intertwined with the defense in the eyes of the other party.

At the time of the conversation, first of all, Yang Zhen himself fell into a complicated situation. For this martyr who died at the hands of traitors in later generations, Yang Zhen said in his heart that it was impossible not to respect him. It was precisely because he didn't want to be influenced by the things that the future generations would know, so Yang Zhen handed over the whole matter to Peng Dingjie, and he pulled Guo Bingxun to prepare to discuss the next plan. After all, Yang Zhen is not the Yang Zhen of the future generations, and all the decisions made by the head are still determined by the position of the buttocks.

Just when Yang Zhen was talking to Li Yanping, the battlefield over there had been roughly cleared. Because of his background, Li Mingrui, who was specially kicked by Yang Zhen to clean up the battlefield, saw the two of them get out, so he walked up to Yang Zhen and reported: "Report to the two commanders, this time we killed a total of 263 Japanese puppet soldiers, 64 plainclothes soldiers, and captured 210 puppet Manchurian military police. All the Japanese puppet military and police who participated in the pursuit did not slip through the net and were all annihilated. ”

"A total of 360 Type 38 rifles and 110 Liao Type 13 rifles were seized. There are more than 70 box cannons and flower machines made in Fengtian. There were 14 light machine guns, 6 heavy machine guns, 4 mortars, and more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition. There is also a radio station and a batch of grain. ”

"The reason why there are more weapons seized is that those plainclothes squads composed of traitors are basically one with one manpower and one short weapon."

Speaking of this, Li Mingrui looked at the two of them and said with a slight hint of excitement on their faces: "Two commanders, according to the confession of the captured puppet Manchurian military police, among the Japanese puppet soldiers killed by us, there is Shibuya Saburo, the director of the puppet Manchurian Binjiang Provincial Police Department, who has been commanding this confrontation against the United Cleanup. It's the only guy on the horse. ”

In addition, the captives also confessed that the reason why Shibuya Saburo came to the front line in person was because they were originally scheduled to clear the mountains north of the Hailang River at the junction of Ning'an and Weihe and Hailang River after clearing the anti-Japanese alliance that had entered the Zhuhe, Weihe, and Wuchang lines. In other words, the area around the old Heidingzi Mountain, where we were before, was also within the scope of their clearance. ”

After that, Li Mingrui took out two maps and some materials and handed them to Yang Zhen and said: "This is the map and information of the next Ning and Wei sweep plan formulated by the devil from a captured puppet Manchurian officer. ”

After Yang Zhen flipped through the information handed over by Li Mingrui, he handed it to Guo Bingxun and said: "The headquarters of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, which was transferred back to Mudanjiang from the Pearl River, has not withdrawn to Mudanjiang, but has arrived in the northwest area of Ning'an. The devil also mobilized six puppet Manchurian forest police brigades and two battalions of the puppet Manchu army. It seems that the devil is very determined this time, and he must find us out. ”

Li Mingrui couldn't help but gasp after carefully looking at the Chinese characters in the information and said, "Fortunately, we fought an ambush here this time and captured the devil's next plan of action." Otherwise, according to the number of troops mobilized by the devils, once they complete the encirclement of the mountains at the junction of Ning'an and Weihe, we will face the danger of being surrounded by the enemy on all sides and by the enemy's heavy troops. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen and said, "Old Yang, we can't go back to the secret camp." What do we do next? ”

Yang Zhen did not answer Guo Bingxun immediately, but opened the captured map and asked, "Old Guo, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's rhetorical question, Guo Bingxun looked at the map and fell into deep thought. Li Mingrui, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two, hesitated for a moment and said: "Two commanders, I think we are not aware that the devils have annihilated the Japanese puppet army they deployed in the Yabuli Cauldron Helmet Mountain area, and continue to attack Weihe County as originally planned?" ”

After hearing Li Mingrui's words, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, I will use my own brain to think and make progress." Tell us what you think? ”

Yang Zhen praised this, Li Mingrui was a little embarrassed and said: "Two chiefs, what plan do I have." I'm just thinking that since the devil has mobilized heavy troops to prepare to wipe out the location of our secret camp, and according to the confessions of those prisoners, the Japanese puppet army in Weihe is basically here, so Weihe County is bound to be empty. ”

"We have laid down the Reed River, and the devils must send troops to rescue. In this way, isn't the devil's attack self-defeating? When I was in Chengdu, when I heard the story about the Three Kingdoms in the teahouse, what was the name of the trick? ”

"You, say you don't know how to learn, you still know a little bit. Say you understand, but you don't understand. What you think is that this is not in the Three Kingdoms, it is the siege of Wei in the thirty-six plans to save Zhao. It was during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of years better than the Three Kingdoms morning. ”

After listening to Li Mingrui's thoughts in his heart, Guo Bingxun, who knew him well, shook his head and smiled bitterly. The plan can be pondered, but his origin makes people can only shake their heads and smile bitterly. Isn't this even next to each other?

Yang Zhen also smiled when he heard this: "Old Guo, don't blame him." He was able to come up with such a solution, which can be regarded as using his brain to figure it out. Although the statement is a little inappropriate, Zhang Guan Li Dai, but it is still a way after all, and I think his method is still good. Although Mingrui hasn't read for a few days, he can be called unlearned. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's face turned stern and said, "Lao Guo, I think I will do it according to Mingrui's idea." Aren't the devils trying to get rid of us? We can't be beaten passively, take advantage of our small number of people to turn around, and have little dependence on logistics, take the initiative to attack, and tear their big net to pieces. ”

"Didn't the devil mobilize heavy troops to search us everywhere and exterminate us? Then we will go to the back of the princess like Sun Monkey into the belly of the princess of the iron fan, and turn him upside down. Forced them to withdraw their troops on their own initiative. The devils are carrying out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Xiajiang Anti-Japanese Federation, and we can not only make a big fuss in Weihe County, but also support the anti-encirclement and suppression operations of the Anti-Japanese Federation from the side. It's just that I don't know how much strength they have left? ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's thoughts, Guo Bingxun also nodded and said: "I think this is the only way for us at present, to attract the Japanese puppet army, and then find an opportunity to jump out of the encirclement of the devils." However, Lao Yang, before we rush to attack Weihe County, we have to consider our actions after defeating Weihe County. ”

"After we capture Weihe County, the Japanese puppet army will definitely do its best to launch an encirclement and suppression of us, and we will inevitably be in danger. We are in a position to fight without rear, without the support and response of friendly forces, and once we are entangled by devils, we will face a very dangerous situation. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's worries, Yang Zhen does not think that it is groundless. He wasn't so arrogant that he thought he could sit back and relax after a few victories. Now under the environment of the devil's continuous increase in troops in the Northeast, the environment he will face in the future can only be worse.

Yang Zhen's fingers kept sliding on the map, and the names of Weihe, Zhuhe, Ning'an, Yanshou, Wuchang, and Fangzheng kept crossing in his hands. After staring at the map for a long time, Yang Zhen raised his head and said, "Lao Guo, you said that if we take down Weihe County, what do you say the devils are most worried about us?" Is it going south, north, or west? ”

"I think for the devils, they are most worried about two things, one is that we will join the Anti-Union, and the other is that we will lose our trace again. As for the devils, they are not afraid of us appearing. What they fear most is that they won't find us, and we will hide and give them a sudden blow as we did today. ”

"But Lao Yang, we say that we don't rely on logistics operations, but we don't want logistics. We need logistics for our ammunition, food, clothing, winter clothing that we must start preparing now, and the placement of the wounded. It's just that compared to the large corps operation, our dependence on logistics is not so prominent. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's analysis, Yang Zhen nodded when he heard this: "Old Guo, your analysis is very accurate. The last thing the devil fears is to fight us, and the most fearful thing is that we will lose a trace. Whether we go east, south, or north are in the judgment of the devil. ”

"You see, after we beat Weihe County, we will do the opposite. Aren't the devils worried that we are getting closer to the Anti-Japanese Union? I leaned westward, not only to the west, but also to the southwest, posing as if I had crossed the medium-length railway and hit the border. After the devils can't figure out our true intentions, they will turn around and retreat sharply to the east. ”

"The devils have just eliminated the 10th Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the devils in the Wuchang area are bound to relax. And just from those materials, we also learned that most of the Japanese puppet army in the Wuchang area has been concentrated in Ning'an, ready to participate in the next step of encirclement and suppression.

"I think that after we took Weihe County, we directly put on a posture of attacking the five permanent members in the south with great fanfare to attract the attention of the devils. After the devil's eyes were attracted to the five permanent members, he turned to the direction of Harbin and let the devil not understand our specific movements, and then retreated eastward. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's plan, Guo Bingxun nodded but shook his head and said: "Old Yang, your plan is okay, but it is a great test of the troops' ability to march. I now understand why you let your troops run five kilometers in full gear every morning when you were in the secret camp. Did you have this in mind at that time? ”

Yang Zhen nodded, and said without denial: "Lao Guo, what you said is not wrong, I did have such considerations before." Between friend and foe, we are at a disadvantage. And this trend will not change for a long time to come. ”

"The devils will continue to surround and sweep us. Stick to one place and fight hard with the devil, we are looking for death. If we want to break their encirclement, we must rely on a wide range of interspersed operations to tear it apart. So I have long considered the body of the troops. ”

"Well, that's a good point. Captain Yang really has a set of soldiers and training. Before Guo Bingxun could say anything about Yang Zhen's thoughts, there was a burst of applause behind him. Guo Bingxun looked back and saw that the commander of the Anti-Coalition Army was already standing behind the two of them at some point.
