Chapter 42 Surprises

Wang Lichun finally entered the conference room. At one end of the large rectangular table with yellow paint used as the conference table, commander Chen Yingqiang and political commissar Dou Zhongquan sat. On the wall behind them were several huge heads of leaders.

They all looked so familiar, especially the smiles on their faces. Wang Lichun had not seen them for a long time.

When he first came to the Longpanshan Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment, there was an urgent need for cadres here. As the only graduate of the Anti-Japanese University assigned to him, he received high expectations and attention. But all this came to an end with those two battlefields.

But it all came to naught. The commander and political commissar never smiled at him again, until today.

Seeing Liu Chan'er sitting under Chen Yingqiang like a lady, Wang Lichun's heart pounded, and he didn't know what this young lady from Hujuling had just said and how much she said.

"Comrade Wang Lichun, don't just stand there, sit down!"

Hearing Commander Chen Yingqiang's words, Wang Lichun forced a smile on his face and leaned down to sit next to Liu Chan'er. Political Commissar Dou Zhongquan stood up and personally brought him a vat of hot water and placed it in front of him.

He felt flattered and quickly stood up to thank him.

"Sit down, don't be so nervous." Dou Zhongquan waved his hand and motioned Wang Lichun to sit down, "You have made great achievements this time. Commander Chen has discussed with me and plans to ask for credit for you."

"Applying for credit?" Wang Lichun's heart tightened, and the smile on his face became more and more unnatural, "Two chiefs, I just went to the Hujuling Independent Brigade and have not made any achievements, how can I bother the two chiefs to ask for credit for me?"

Chen Yingqiang and Dou Zhongquan looked at each other, and the latter said with a smile: "You don't have to hide anymore. You broke into the Japanese army camp and rescued the captured underground party comrades. This is great, but why don't you report this?"

What? If the underground party comrades hadn’t made a special trip to the headquarters to talk about this matter a few days ago, the headquarters wouldn’t have known that you Hujuling had made such a big contribution!”

No, that guy did tentatively ask me "comrade" at that time, but I ignored him. How did he know that I saved him? And he made a special trip to the headquarters to thank me? The doubts in Wang Lichun's heart naturally emerged.

On his face, Dou Zhong looked like a veteran team member. He could see the doubts in Wang Lichun's heart at a glance and explained.

"Do you know that the person you rescued is very important? His code name is Blue Arrow. He is directly under the leadership of Comrade Kenong and is one of the important members of the underground party organization..."

This Lan Jian was the captured comrade who was rescued by Wang Lichun. When he was passing through Yangquan County, he didn't know where the trick was exposed, and he was caught by the Japanese and put into a cell.

Since most members of the underground party have single-line contacts, once he is arrested, many contact stations will be paralyzed, and he also has extremely important information. Therefore, the underground party organization specially mobilizes manpower and plans to rescue Lan Jian at any cost.

come out.

On the day Wang Lichun entered the city, at least thirty underground party members had sneaked into the city in different ways, discussed a rescue plan, and planned to rescue Lan Jian. For this, everyone was prepared to sacrifice.

When Wang Lichun took himself as a hostage and was held hostage by Liu Chan'er, and when he left the Jaap barracks with a blue arrow, members of the underground party were among the crowd outside the Jaap barracks and clearly saw the complete scene, including Liu Chan'er's shooting of Wang Lichun.

.

As soon as the gun was fired, the crowd was in chaos. These underground party members took the opportunity to rescue Lan Jian, and immediately arranged for them to be treated at a secret location that had been prepared long ago.

Although they rescued Lan Jian without hurting anyone, they faced a more serious problem - how to leave Yangquan County, which was under strict investigation.

The Japs, puppet soldiers, and traitors in the county were frantically searching the city, which made it impossible for them to leave for the time being. However, a large number of medicines and medical equipment were stolen from the Japs Hospital the next day, which forced the Japs to allocate a considerable part of their forces to find the stolen medicines and provide them with

Mixing out of Yangquan County provides convenient conditions...

Although Wang Lichun had no intention of actively participating in the whole process, his actions not only reduced the casualties of underground party comrades, but also helped the other party successfully complete the entire task, and safely protected Lan Jian from withdrawing from Yangquan County.

When Lan Jian regained consciousness, he expressed his suspicion that Wang Lichun was his comrade, and reported the whole story to the superior organization, which immediately attracted the attention of the organization, and thus found the Longpanshan Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment.

When the comrades from the underground party arrived at the headquarters, Commander Chen Yingqiang and Political Commissar Dou Zhongquan did not know about this incident. They only heard that there was trouble in Yangquan County and that the Japanese Hospital was stolen. However, no organization or individual had claimed responsibility for the incident.

After learning about the whole thing, especially when they heard that Lan Jian suspected that the man who could speak Japanese was his comrade, and Lan Jian's description of Wang Lichun's appearance, Chen Yingqiang and Dou Zhongquan immediately associated it with Wang Lichun, and concluded that

Not only was Wang Lichun the one who saved people, but it was also Wang Lichun who led the Hujuling Independent Brigade who stole the medicine.

After listening to Dou Zhongquan's story like a book from heaven, Wang Lichun opened his mouth for a long time and did not close it. He knew who "Comrade Kenong" referred to, and someone who could be directly led by this person definitely had a high status in the underground party.

He never imagined that a random thought he had at that time could actually achieve such a great contribution. At the same time, he also remembered that Liu Chan'er once said that he saw Lan Jian being rescued by a few men.

"I did this?"

"Of course it's you!" Dou Zhongquan smiled and nodded, "Comrade Lichun, I didn't expect you to speak Japanese. Your materials didn't indicate this."

"Ah, I have learned some of this before, but I am not very proficient in it, so I didn't say it." Wang Lichun panicked. This was one of the biggest flaws of a Xibei guy like him. "By the way, there is one more thing I need to tell the two of you.

The leader reported that the reason why it went so smoothly last time was because I looked so similar to a Japanese that the Japanese second lieutenant in the city mistakenly thought I was that Japanese."

This matter must be reported to the higher-level organization, because Wang Lichun remembered very clearly that the Eighth Route Army would launch a brutal rectification movement in a while, and he did not want to cause trouble because of this matter.

Chen Yingqiang's eyes lit up and he leaned forward: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"

So Wang Lichun brought the three of them to the city gate and met the Japanese second lieutenant Sasakiji. He was mistaken for Xiaoquan and was invited to the Japanese army camp. He rescued Comrade Lan Jian out of nowhere. He was injured by the female thief and was rescued by the ancestors and grandsons of the Chen family medicine shop.

, with the help of the Japanese army, they eliminated Yangquan County plainclothes captain Xie Laosan, stole the Japanese hospital, extorted three trucks of food from maintenance chairman Zhang Gongrong, and successfully left Yangquan County with medicines.

There were many things that even Liu Chan'er didn't know about, especially the fact that Wang Lichun had undergone a considerable degree of artistic processing, showing his ideological awareness of not being afraid of dangers and overcoming all difficulties, which attracted her to listen.

After listening to Wang Lichun's storytelling, Chen Yingqiang and Dou Zhong automatically skipped the water and looked at each other. The former frowned and fell into deep thought, while the latter took a sip of water and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Said: "Unexpectedly, there are things we don't know about. Even the traitor Xie Laosan was indirectly eliminated by you. Comrade Lichun, you can't take away the credit this time."

However, the female thief who injured you is so disgusting. Do you know who she is and where she is now? Now that the whole country is united in resisting Japan, she actually wants to shoot revolutionary soldiers, not to mention that it was you who saved her from the Japanese.

She was rescued from a military camp, could she be a Japanese spy?"

Glancing at Liu Chan'er beside him, he found that she looked flustered and her eyes were flickering. Wang Lichun snickered in his heart and said with certainty: "Political commissar, she cannot be a spy. It may have been a misunderstanding at the time.

And if it weren’t for her shot, I wouldn’t have been able to legitimately enter the Japanese hospital, and I wouldn’t have been able to get so many medicines.”…

Chen Yingqiang finally finished his thinking, looked up at Wang Lichun, and asked in a deep voice: "So you are able to do so smoothly only because the Japanese army recognized you as an espionage officer of the Special High School Course?"

"I think so." Wang Lichun nodded.

"In other words, you look very much like a Japanese soldier, so much so that even acquaintances can't tell them apart?"

"He is the one who looks like me."

Hearing this, Chen Yingqiang suddenly smiled and looked at Dou Zhongquan: "Old Dou, I suddenly had an idea."

The two have worked together for many years and have almost reached a state of spiritual connection. Dou Zhongquan immediately read the meaning from the other's smile: "Old Chen, do you want to attack Yangquan County?"

When the Longpanshan Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment first came to Longpanshan, it developed very smoothly. The team continued to grow in size and the base area gradually expanded, causing serious harassment to the Japanese.

However, in recent times, as the Japanese have focused their attention on them, the Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment has been living a more difficult life, especially since most of their forces are concentrated in the east and south of Longpan Mountain, allowing the Japanese to concentrate their forces for encirclement and suppression.

The continuous increase in casualties directly led to the extreme shortage of medicines, and the area of ​​the base area was gradually shrinking. All the main forces suffered a certain degree of blow, which put huge pressure on the Longpanshan Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment.

If we can raise the banner of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest area of ​​Longpan Mountain, we will be able to disperse the Japanese forces and reduce the pressure on the headquarters.

Attacking Yangquan County is a good choice. Assemble a main force group and take advantage of the Japanese troops stationed in Yangquan County to go out to encircle and suppress the base area. Taking the opportunity to capture Yangquan County can definitely have a major impact on the Japanese army.

Although taking Yangquan County cannot occupy it, it can prevent the Japanese troops in the northwest area of ​​Longpan Mountain from participating in the encirclement and suppression of the base area without scruples, which can relieve the pressure on the headquarters to a certain extent.

"If we want to attack Yangquan County, we need to do it quickly. We will lure out most of the Japanese troops stationed there, and a main force group will march overnight. The battle will start at dawn. We will capture the county seat in at most an hour. This way, we can still have an hour to clear out the loot.

, but..." Chen Yingqiang said and turned his attention to Wang Lichun.

Dou Zhongquan also looked at Wang Lichun and continued: "But we need someone who can lead people into the city one step ahead, and we also need to gain the trust of the Japanese army. Once the battle starts, by combining internal and external forces, it is possible to end the battle in one hour!"

Comrade Wang Lichun, are you willing to take on this important task?"
