Seeing that the adjutant was walking away, Hu Yi understood something, and walked to Minister Zhang a few steps: "Instructor Zhang, why don't we go to the communication place to see?"

Minister Zhang withdrew his gaze from a distance and looked worried: "The matter is very serious, and they did not pay attention to the new round of Japanese raids."

Hu Yi calculated silently in his mind: "After a large number of Japanese troops were taken away, most of the remaining areas in the enemy occupied were the security forces. According to Commander Li, their army was 70,000, and other friendly forces combined. There were nearly 300,000 troops on the north bank of the Yellow River. If we included the south bank of the Yellow River, there would be no 500,000 or 600,000 people? We should worry about it if we were to worry about it?"

Minister Zhang shook his head: "If we really unite in the fight against Japan and have proper command, these troops can confront the Japanese. Unfortunately, some people don't like us."

Hu Yi was confused: "Who doesn't like us? I don't understand what you mean..."

Minister Zhang glanced at Hu Yi: "Note that this is top secret information. As the communication commander, I can tell you that Chongqing's man instructed the Fifth Army to surrender to the enemy and then turn the guns to deal with us!"

Hu Yi was stunned and frowned: "I won't be exaggerating, right?"

Minister Zhang's face turned pale and looked at the church in the distance: "As the commander, you must understand that although this place is not big, it has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. After the war of resistance began, we established a base here. Later, when Yan Laoxi saw that we were developing rapidly, he was panicked and actually accepted the Kuomintang Central Army's work group to enter Jin and establish the National Army's southern Jin-South Working Group."

"I understand. Yan Laoxi can't hold on without the ability. Seeing that we are growing stronger, he has no choice but to invite Lao Jiang?"

"That's about that. Later, Chiang Kai-shek sent a large number of spies to constantly destroy our bases and create friction and kill our staff. For the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we were patient. Later, we found a way to drive away their county magistrate, and this place finally fell into our hands."

"Then why are they occupied by the national army again?"

Minister Zhang looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance: "Our base is in rural areas and mountainous areas. The spring of the previous year, the National Government created friction again, and the southern Anhui Incident occurred in the south. The main force of the New Fourth Army suffered heavy losses. In Taihang, Chiang Kai-shek transferred six divisions from the 27th Army and the New Fifth Army to attack our base here."

"Hu Yi thought about it for a moment, I know this. The regiment reported it. At that time, the Japanese were scrambling."

Minister Zhang continued: "The head of the headquarters was furious at that time and immediately responded to the tit-for-tat, and immediately added the "Eighth Route Army Second Column" that was closest to here, the 344th Brigade of the brothers in the east, the Shanxi Death Column, the Hebei Provincial Independence Detachment, the Fourth Regiment of the Hebei Civilian Army, and your Independence Regiment, and others formed the "Eighth Route Army Second Column" to prepare to severely attack the reactionaries."

Hu Yi listened carefully, frowned and said nothing.

Minister Zhang paused: "At this critical moment, in order to avoid the breakdown of the matter, the two parties united and let the Japanese reap the benefits, the Chairman instructed our party, political, military organs, local armed forces, and all underground personnel who had exposed their identities to retreat to the mountains. Last month, the First War Zone suddenly asked for military exchanges with the Imperial Army, trying to let some of the national army enter our defense zone. Do you understand the general situation now?"

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment. Since he entered the Anti-Japanese War, his vision has been expanding. Many questions that he had not understood before and could not even think of at all suddenly appeared in his mind: "They plan to send people to our base in the name of communication, and then let the New Five Army surrender to the enemy, and finally take action against our base?"

Minister Zhang nodded: "You are a little smart, but in fact, things are far from that simple. There are not many people in friendly forces who are determined to defend their country. The 24th Army is unwilling to engage in internal strife, so we have this military exchange."

Hu Yi figured out the details: "I understand. I'm actually planning to win over the Pang team of the 24th Army?"

Minister Zhang was not angry: "It's unity! What's the win over... We are not bandits!"

"I understand, this is also the reason why the superiors did not send higher-level leaders to participate in the exchange, right?...just to be unobtrusive." Hu Yi rarely speaks in this modest tone of asking questions.

Minister Zhang was in a good mood and felt that this fake adviser could still click again: "What happened two years ago had a great impact on us. The Central China base area suffered heavy losses. Even so, we still struggled to rebuild the base area under the eyes of the Japanese.

But since then, our Taihang base has been blocked by the National Army here. Their defense is even tighter than the Japanese blockade line, so that the bases north of the Yellow River cannot be connected in a large area. Even the leaders of the plains and the newly formed Fourth Army must detour through the vast Taihang Mountains if they want to go to Yan'an for a meeting. Do you understand now?"

"I understand!" Hu Yi was not a fool, but thought for a while: "Cheng Jiang's trick of killing people with a knife may ruin the entire Yellow River defense line!"

This time it was Minister Zhang's turn to be surprised: "What does it mean?"

"Yesterday we communicated with Li Zhenqing. He actually kept reminding us that the Yellow River defense line is more than 200 kilometers, but the 300,000 defense forces do not come from more than 20 divisions in different sequences. With the temper of the Central Army, the commander named Jiang could not do anything like an arm. If the troops on the north bank were cleared and surrendered by the Japanese, the Yellow River defense line would be completely defeated at once."

Minister Zhang was stunned, and after a while, he nodded: "The man surnamed Jiang asked Sun Dianying to deliberately surrender to the enemy, and pointed the gun at us just right. He was playing with fire and burning himself! You should first stare at the communication team, and you have to find a way to send the information out!"

Hu Yi looked at the dense trenches outside the wall: "Even I can think of it, do you think your superiors won't think of it? Let's just have a peace of mind to communicate. Look, Commander Pang asked Commander Li to do such a large area of ​​defensive construction here, and they understand."

Minister Zhang looked at Hu Yi angrily: "It's just that with their more than 10,000 people, I can't play with Lao Jiang at all. I have to go and talk to Commander Pang."

In the wilderness outside the village, there were troops gathered around Yidaba who participated in the exchange.

The first exchange project of military skills, fortifications.

The person in charge of the military skills exchange was a friendly regiment commander. He glanced at Luo Fugui and Li Huanzhang holding the engineers and said: "Two people are in a group and digging a standard trench of five meters long. It takes one hour, isn't it difficult?"

Luo Fugui grinned and said, "Hehe, just look, it hasn't rained for a year, so it's so digging very well, and it's not a problem to dig ten meters in an hour!"

Trenches are temporarily dug on the battlefield. If they are not reinforced, usually soldiers can dig more than one side of the earth in an hour, which is just a little more than one meter, and two people are only two meters away. Since it is a competition, the workload has doubled.

Both sides immediately selected the venue to draw lines, and a battalion commander led by the Kuomintang army next to him immediately blew the whistle.

Luo Fugui swung the shovel calmly.

The friendly shovels on the opposite side flew over, and the shovels of grass-roots were shoveled and thrown to the side. In a few moments, the master did not dig a big hole.

Luo Fugui's movements were not fast, much slower than the national army. After only ten minutes, the situation began to reverse.

There is a limit to the continuous high-intensity movements of human muscles. You have to rest for a while, or do not exercise at high intensity so that the blood can bring sufficient oxygen and sugar to satisfy muscle consumption.

In the five-meter-long trench, Luo Fugui and Li Huanzhang each occupy one end and dig in the middle. The competition was actually over about the tenth minute.

Luo Fugui took off his military uniform and only wore a jacket in the middle of winter. He was sweating profusely. A shovel of soil was flying out. The commander of the friendly army next to him had a black line. He had never seen him digging trenches at all times, and so fast.

At the current speed, it will definitely take less than half an hour to dig out this five-meter-long trench, which is more than a bullshit!

The two soldiers from the National Army saw their opponent's speed and simply gave up and sat in the pit and looked lively.
Chapter completed!
