After being silent for a long time, Guo Bingxun raised his head and said to Yang Zhen: "Old Yang, since you have made up your mind, I will obey the order." As I said, from now on, I will obey your command. Since you can rush out with all your brothers, I believe that you will lead your brothers on a bright road. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen and said, "But Old Yang, I think it's better for us to avoid the enemy's edge for the time being, and not to force the Binsui Railway." As you said, we don't have the ability to fight a hard-fought battle with the devils now, and we can't break through the blockade of the railroad by the devils. ”

"I think it's better for us to go all the way east, straight to the Pearl River. Although the south of the Binsui Railway is not as maneuver as the north of the road for us, it is more densely populated than in the north. The terrain there belongs to Zhangguangcai Ridge, the mountains are high and densely forested, and you can reach Changbai Mountain directly to the south, and you can also reach Xing'an Mountains to the north. ”

"As long as we rest for a while, it's not too late to regain our vitality and head north. I don't believe that he can block the entire Binsui Line tightly? Now we don't have time to look for the weak points of the devil's blockade, but that doesn't mean we won't have a chance in the future. We're not the time to fight the devil now, as you just said. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's analysis, Yang Zhen stared at the map for a long time before nodding and said, "Okay, just do what Lao Guo said." After resting for a while, we are looking for opportunities to develop northward, striving to find an opportunity to join the three anti-coalition armies. ”

Yang Zhen looked at his watch, raised his head and looked at the sky that was already slightly darkened, and said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time, we will set off when Huang Dali comes back in a while." ”

After making up his mind, Yang Zhen turned his head and beckoned Li Mingrui over and said, "Li Mingrui, did you change the amount of money you touched from Shiro Ishii to contribute some money so that we could buy some food before we entered the mountain?" Now we're all poor except you. ”

"Sir Yang, look at what you said. I got that money just for everyone, or if it weren't in this barren mountain and wilderness, what would I do with them? This thing can't be eaten as a cook. For Yang Zhen, who was half ridiculing and half serious, Li Mingrui hurriedly untied a burden around his waist and put it in front of Yang Zhen.

After Yang Zhen took over the burden, he just weighed and weighed it, and he didn't open it to look at it, so he threw it to Peng Dingjie and said: "Old Peng, since you have fought guerrillas here, you are more familiar with it." Before going into the mountains for a while, I want to buy some food, oh, and pots, clothes, and especially salt, don't worry about money. ”

"The brothers are wearing the clothes of devils. The night in the mountains is very cold, and the brothers are new to the situation, and they are not adaptable, so they must not let the brothers freeze. We don't even have a military doctor, and even if we have a lot of seized medicines, we can't do without a doctor. We can no longer afford any unnecessary losses. ”

"Okay, I'll do it in a minute. If I'm not mistaken, there should be two larger villages ahead of here, and it shouldn't be a problem to get enough food. However, this is a bit troublesome, the devil is extremely strict with the control of materials, and this is a mountainous area, plus the devil has taken the means of returning to the tun and merging the households. It's not easy to get enough bedding and salt, especially salt. Regarding Yang Zhen's request to buy food, Peng Dingjie agreed very happily. But for other supplies, it is a little scratching.

Looking at Peng Ding, who was a little embarrassed, Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Old Peng, think of a way." If you have money in your hands, you can still buy things. Since some people don't even want their ancestors for money, I think there are still people who dare to sell some forbidden materials for money. These are all yen, and they are still good in the eyes of those people. ”

Peng Dingjie, who has fought against the Japanese army in the northeast for many years and has dealt with devils and traitors countless times, does not know that Yang Zhen is telling the truth. Knowing that the situation was strict, he hesitated for a moment but nodded and said: "Okay, I want to find a way, if it doesn't work, I will find those landlords and big families to fight the autumn wind." Especially the families of those traitors, they have a lot of connections, and they should be able to get some out of their hands. If our underground organization in the Pearl River hadn't been destroyed, why should I bother? ”

After hearing Peng Dingjie's sigh, Yang Zhen did not answer, but stood up, looked at the mountain peaks not far away under the afterglow of the sunset, and was silent in his heart: "Without the mass foundation and the support of the people, in the northeast, where the shape is much more severe than that in the Guannei, the survival of such a lone army will be much harsher." ”

"Without the support of the people, it is equivalent to no intelligence sources, no soldiers, no material replenishment, and so on. And as a lone army like himself, without these, there will be no basis for survival. ”

"But could it be said that these people in the northeast, who are composed of immigrants from all over the country, really have no sense of belonging to the country, as later generations said on the Internet? Would you rather be a slave under the enslavement of devils than rise up and resist? Thinking of what happened to Huang Dali today, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"No, the people of the Northeast will never be so willing to be slaves of the country. It was no one who could give them hope, no one who could let them see hope, that made them completely lose their confidence. ”

"The Northeast Army abandoned the Northeast without a fight and withdrew into the Guannai. The once-seemingly powerful anti-Japanese volunteers were glorious for only a few years, and they also failed one after another. The forces of the Anti-Japanese Federation gathered and scattered, scattered and gathered, except for the first few years, they were never able to really become bigger and stronger. ”

"Although a large number of Japanese puppet troops were eliminated and contained, due to the limitation of strength, they were always blocked in the deep mountains and old forests most of the time, and they failed to change the overall situation after all. It is precisely because no one can give hope to the people of Northeast China that the people of Northeast China have lost the spirit of fighting. ”

Yang Zhen did not believe that the people of the Northeast were willing to be obedient to the people under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders. If the Northeast man is really so bloodless, ten years later, he swept through most of China, where did the Siye, which is known as the Siberian Tiger, come from? If there is no blood, how can the Anti-Japanese Federation, which is dominated by Northeast men, persist in fighting in such a difficult environment for 14 years?

"No, as long as the people of Northeast China are given hope, they will regain their firm confidence. Since God has brought me here, I must do my best to change this history. Give hope to these 30 million compatriots in Northeast China, and let these 30 million fathers and villagers in Northeast China get rid of the fate of being enslaved by others. ”

Seeing Yang Zhen's sudden distraction, Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie didn't disturb him, just stood quietly to the side and looked at him. They didn't know what Yang Zhen was thinking in his heart at the moment, but they knew that the almost god-like person in front of them must be making the most difficult choice.

Yang Zhen's distraction didn't last long, and just as the two of them were about to step forward to wake him up, Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly emitted a trace of perseverance that they had never seen before.

Looking at Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie, who were standing in front of him and looking at him intently, Yang Zhen said in a firm tone: "I don't care how bad the shape is, how grim the situation is. All I know is that when we come, this place will no longer be a peaceful place for devils. ”

"We don't just want to survive here, we want to thrive. We must not only destroy and contain the Japanese army in the northeast, but also cooperate with the operations on the Kannai battlefield. We must give hope to these 30 million flesh-and-blood compatriots in the northeast, so that they can see the hope that we can finally defeat the devils. ”

"We want them to know that in this life-and-death decisive battle that will determine the fate of the two nations, only we, the Chinese nation, will be and will be the ultimate victor."

Yang Zhen's face suddenly showed a confident look, but for some reason, Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie suddenly had an inexplicable confidence at the same time. Yang Zhen is not talking about me, but about us. It is this that we bring to them infinite self-confidence.

After Yang Zhen's words fell, Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie did not take his words, but walked to him and stood side by side with him looking at the mountains that were not far away. Behind them, all the brothers who heard Yang Zhen's words also quietly walked behind them, and solemnly looked at the three people who had invisibly become leaders who were facing the east. It's just that this moment of tranquility didn't last long, and it was broken by Huang Dali, who came back from reconnaissance.

Looking at Huang Dali, who was a little excited, Yang Zhen shook his head helplessly, and he couldn't understand how this guy who always couldn't restrain himself and had a bit of a big personality did such meticulous work as a scout? Also mixed into a reconnaissance platoon commander.

This time, Huang Dali, who didn't know where he got a dress called Huazi, saw that Yang Zhen and the three of them were there, so he hurriedly said: "Company Commander Yang, you asked me to go out to reconnoiter the enemy situation and open the way for everyone." But I think, the brothers didn't have teeth for water and rice this day, this is another march and a war, and the brothers must be hungry and a little unbearable now. ”

"I pondered while reconnoitring the enemy along the way, reconnoitring the enemy is important, but I also have to get some food for the brothers, right? This can be regarded as beating rabbits with grass. I knew our accent didn't match this place, so I pretended to be dumb all the way to ask for food. I want to see where I can get some food for my brothers, and at least replenish my body for my brothers. ”

"After entering the mountains, I went all the way east to find a larger village to get some supplies for my brothers, until I came to a place called Wudaoling. I heard from the people around me that there was a mine run by devils. I think since it's populated and it's a mine, I'm sure I'll be able to get food. ”

"When I got there, I found that there was a flowing water mat there. I couldn't speak, and it took me a long time to hear two people who came to pay my respects say that a Japanese director of the mine there called Fujita was celebrating his birthday. ”

"The local puppet police station ordered that all the villagers in the surrounding villages must come to say goodbye. Not to be happy is to oppose Japan-Manchurian goodwill, common prosperity and common prosperity. The surrounding villagers were helpless, whether they wanted to go or not, they could only go bankrupt and think of gifts. ”

"There is a puppet Manchurian police station stationed in that mine, and there are more than 20 puppet policemen. The only weapons were rifles and pistols. Except for these more than 20 puppet policemen, there were no other Japanese puppet armed forces within a radius of at least a dozen miles. In addition to protecting the mines, their main task on weekdays is to watch over the workers who open the mines. ”

"Where is the location you are talking about, not far from us? Have you figured out the situation there? Hearing Huang Dali's words, Yang Zhen's heart couldn't help but move. This is a good opportunity, if the truth is really as Huang Dali said, there should be some supplies available there.

Feeling that this was a rare opportunity to replenish supplies before entering the mountain, Yang Zhen hurriedly opened the map and asked Huang Dali to point out the location of this iron mine.

Just looking at the map that Yang Zhen opened, Huang Dali scratched his head a little and said: "Company Commander Yang, your map is full of Japanese characters, and I don't know it." Also, don't say that your map is all Japanese characters, that is, maps with Chinese characters, and it also knows me, I don't know it. I can't read and read a map. ”

"When I was a reconnaissance platoon commander in the Red 25th Army, I didn't have this precious thing most of the time. I used to march and fight, and I memorized everything in my head. The captured maps are generally handed over to the military headquarters immediately after they are captured, and are used by the army chief to command operations. We don't need it. ”

Looking at Huang Dali, who looked embarrassed, Yang Zhen, who knew that this was the truth, didn't laugh, just pointed to the map and said: "Dali, this is where we are now, when you enter the mountain, you are going east." I'll make a map, you tell me about your situation along the way, and see if you can find the iron ore you mentioned? ”

"However, the devil's map is far more accurate than the one we use ourselves, but why is the iron ore you mentioned not marked on this map? Such an important target, in terms of the finesse of the devil's work, they will not fail to mark it on the map. ”

After looking at the map for a long time, Huang Dali, who looked at himself dizzily, and didn't find the location of the iron mine he said on the map, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Company Commander Yang, I really don't recognize this thing." If you let me lead the way, it's fine, but if you can point it out on this map, it's really hard for me. ”

"Company Commander Yang, as for why the map in your hand didn't mark this place, I don't quite understand. But I guess the map you have is from an earlier year? I don't know when this map is in your possession. But I heard the villagers around me muttering that this iron mine was only built last year, and it was only used the year before last. I wonder if the devil hasn't had time to sign it yet? ”

"Lao Yang, don't be embarrassed for him. This is a military map, not an ordinary map. A newly opened iron mine, as long as it does not have much military value, generally does not necessarily mark it. Guo Bingxun on the side saw Huang Dali, whose face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, shook his head, and also helped him speak.

Hearing that Huang Dali really couldn't understand the map, Yang Zhen didn't force it. Regarding the fact that Huang Dali couldn't read the map, Yang Zhen believed it. Because he knew that among the officers and men at the grassroots level of the Red Army, the literate ones were definitely the ones who were scaly and. And in this regard, as the family of the Red 25th Army, the Red Fourth Front Army, which is in the same lineage, is particularly prominent. Not to mention the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, how many cadres at the level of military divisions are educated?

After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie in front of him and said, "What do you two think?" Shall we take this opportunity to mess with him, touch the joy of that devil, and replenish some supplies to the troops? At least solve the problem of the brothers' belly first. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's suggestion, Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie glanced at each other before Guo Bingxun said: "Old Yang, if Huang Dali's reconnaissance is true, I think it's completely okay." The devil built this mine, and the amount of labor required for this will naturally not be less. As a result, they had to hoard large quantities of food and supplies on a daily basis. Since the vigilance force is only about two dozen pseudo-policemen, I think we can completely mess with him. ”

Regarding Guo Bingxun's words, Patten agreed: "Lao Yang, I also agree with Lao Guo's opinion. It's not easy for us to search for the supplies you want around here. But the devil's mine, there will definitely be something we want. Rather than risk going to the common people to buy things that they themselves are not rich in, it is better to start from this mine. ”
