Jiang Zhen did not hesitate anymore, but readily agreed. Upon seeing this, Li Yan came to the team and prepared to bring the last two groups back with Jiang Zhen. Luo Han followed Li Yan and Jiang Zhen

Later, as the large army marched through the woods behind Xishan Village and towards Xishan North Road, the team had just reached halfway, Jiang Zhen suddenly stopped and turned around and asked: "Captain Luo, why are there bandits there?"

"Brigadier Jiang, you still don't understand this? The place I'm in is called Xiangma Mountain. What are thieves? Thieves are bandits, they are bandits. It's not surprising that there are thieves on Xiangma Mountain, but now there are bandits on Xiangma Mountain

, it turns out that they are all honest people, but only after the Japanese invaded our Chinese land

, they couldn't be honest. This group of Japanese soldiers killed their relatives and destroyed their homes. They could only stick together and work together to resist the continued invasion of this group of Japanese soldiers. Therefore, during this period, they simply could not

They are not thieves, but civil armed organizations who were forced to gather together." Luo Han explained excitedly.

"Captain Luo, I understand all these things, so I sent you back to Hui Mashan this time for a purpose other than escorting you back and scouting the surrounding terrain, but I don't know yet...

"Seeing Luo Han staring at him, Li Yan continued

Said: "I am going to take this opportunity of sending you back to Mashan to go up the mountain to meet the black dragon you mentioned. If I can convince him, let him lead the team to join our Eighth Route Army. This will be great for our Eighth Route Army.

It’s the best thing.” Li Yan said.

"This... I'm afraid you're going to have to work hard. I haven't tried to persuade him before, but this black dragon has a very stubborn temper. No matter how much I try to explain to him, he doesn't want to join our Eighth Route Army.

I even fired a gun once, but when I saw that there was no result, I stopped disturbing him..." Luo Han explained.

"Is there any movement from the Japanese side?" Li Yan pointed in the direction of the South Bridge of Xishan Mountain.

"Although Heilong was unwilling to join us, he told us about the Japanese soldiers. Earlier, these Japanese soldiers had gone up to the mountain to find him and asked him to surrender in exchange for money or something like that. But Black Dragon not only refused to agree

, and also killed the lobbyist they sent. Later, the Japanese were anxious and led troops to attack the mountain. Although he was not hurt, they also lost many brothers..." Luo Han sighed softly when he said this.

With a sound, he continued:

"So later he always thought that the people who came to persuade him were not good people. But later he found out that I did not come to attack the mountain like the Japanese troops after being rejected, so he did not regard our Eighth Route Army as the enemy.

They stand on the same front as us to fight against the Japanese, but they are actually not an army."

After Luo Han explained the matter of the Black Dragon Mountain Stronghold to Li Yan, Li Yan was convinced. Luo Han did not attack the mountain, and Black Dragon did not regard the Eighth Route Army as its enemy. In this case, he wanted to recruit the thieves.

The black dragon on the mountain is not too difficult.

At most, the Black Dragon is stubborn, and the more he tries, the more chance he will have. Thinking of this, Li Yan stopped spending time chatting with Luo Han. Instead, he focused all his attention on the large army and returned with the troops in front.

Arrive in front of the gate of the West Shandong Base Area.

Jiang Zhen first brought the two troops back to their respective barracks, then came to Qin Mo who was squatting on the playground of the base area, and told Qin Mo about Luo Han, the commander of the first regiment of the Xiangmashan Middle Road base area, and then

He conveyed Li Yan's intention to him. Seeing that Qin Mo's thoughts were the same as Li Yan's, Jiang Zhen agreed.

Li Yan accepted Li Yan's idea and agreed to lend troops to Li Yan the next morning to safely escort Luo Han back to his Xiangmashan Middle Road base. Seeing that there was no big problem, Li Yan walked out of the gate of the West Shandong base and prepared to return to Xishan.

County town, but after taking two steps, Jiang Zhen stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Brigadier Jiang, I am going to take Commander Luo back to Xishan County. Firstly, I am a little worried about Liu Guangyao and my brothers who strengthened the regiment. Secondly, our Xishan County is closer to Xiangma Mountain. Captain Luo will set off to return to Xiangma Mountain tomorrow.

This matter won't delay much..." After getting Jiang Zhen's consent, Li Yan leaned towards Jiang Zhen and whispered:

"Brigadier Jiang, that... one of my regiments was all sacrificed in the battle in the northwest of Xishan. I think he still hasn't overcome this feeling in his heart, so I suggest you not to fight with him during this period.

Bringing up any plan to increase troops in front of me is tantamount to irritating his nerves. Nothing else. I am just afraid that he will do what he did last time. Last time, his brother was alone, and this time

... Brigadier Jiang, look..."

Jiang Zhen raised his right hand and waved it, and at the same time replied: "Don't worry about taking Captain Luo back to the county. I have a sense of responsibility for things here. In addition, I sent troops to escort..."

"Brigadier Jiang, one hour before Commander Luo sets off tomorrow, I will send someone to inform you. I plan for you to transfer the two regiments to the north gate of Xishan County as soon as you receive the signal, and we will set off from there." Li Yan

explained.

"Two regiments? Li Yan, you are just escorting Commander Luo back to the base area. You are not trying to unite to fight these Japanese soldiers. Even if you want to fight, it is not time yet. You... lead two regiments

When you go to Xiangma Mountain, please explain your reasons first. If you have the right idea, I will give you not only two regiments, but three regiments and even all my troops. But if you don’t understand, don’t blame me, Jiang Zhen, for being ruthless."

Jiang Zhen said.

"Brigadier Jiang, don't the Japs troops now think that Commander Luo has insufficient troops and regard him as a plaything? Tomorrow I will take the large troops to visit the Xiangma Mountain to make them think that Commander Luo has sent a report asking for help.

Although an illusion cannot fundamentally solve the problem at once, it can also confuse the Japanese troops and delay their final attack time, because the Xishan Front

After it is completely stable, we will go deep into Xiangma Mountain and finally regain Xiangma Mountain as Commander Luo said. If Xiangma Mountain is occupied by Japanese troops before then, then what lies ahead of us will be a tough battle.

..... Brigadier Jiang, I have finished speaking. You can decide for yourself whether you agree or not." After Li Yan said this, he looked up at Jiang Zhen.

When Jiang Zhen heard this, he had no intention of refuting. He first turned his head to Luo Han who was standing aside. Seeing that Luo Han also meant the same thing, he waved to the two of them: "Li Yan, what do you mean?
