Dong Ping, who was ordered to come to the headquarters of the First Army, led by Han Renhe, finally met Wei Zhengmin, the general political commissar of the First Army, in a secret camp at the junction of Emu and Huanan counties. Seeing that he had been without food for several days, he could only
The general political commissar of the First Army, Dong Ping, who could rely on wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger but looked very weak, quickly ordered people to bring out the food that had been prepared. [.Com text]
When Dong Ping went south this time, Yang Zhen not only brought him some canned Japanese beef, sugar and fungus, but also brought him two bags of white flour and only thirty kilograms of millet. He also told him that if there was a shortage of supplies, let him follow the instructions in the wild.
I used my experience during survival training to find food. No one was allowed to touch these two bags of white flour, millet and sugar. These were to supplement the nutrition of Wei Zhengmin, political commissar of the First Army.
Previously, Dong Ping thought that Yang Zhen was making a fuss. Although the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the area where the First Army was active was greater than that of Northern Manchuria, the population was much denser than that of Sanjiang in Northern Manchuria. Getting some food should not be as difficult as in Northern Manchuria.
Difficulties. As a result, when I saw the troops of the First Route Army, I realized that the situation of the First Route Army was no better than that of the Second Route Army at the end of last year.
Although Dong Ping repeatedly emphasized that these white flour, millet, and white sugar were brought to the head of the First Army Headquarters by Yang Zhen, Wei Zhengmin, who was already extremely weak and swollen due to malnutrition, insisted on bringing these to him.
Now all the rare nutrients were reserved for the wounded in Huanan's secret camp. He himself only drank a little millet porridge.
Even if he opened a can of beef, he poured it all into the big pot of rice porridge in the guard brigade and distributed it to everyone. He didn't even leave any leftover soup.
Looking at Dong Ping's helpless smile, Wei Zhengmin smiled and said: "I am a political commissar, how can I be special in this difficult time? What's more, these young soldiers have to march and fight all day long, and they have to carry me.
Old sick people need more nutrition. Don't worry, the little millet porridge I have is enough."
Regarding Wei Zhengmin's insistence, Dong Ping shook his head helplessly. But he opened his mouth and said nothing more. He just waved to the soldiers behind him, handed a marching bag handed over by the soldiers to Wei Zhengmin and said: "This is what we are doing here."
After picking up a few roe deer on the road, we followed the method taught by our deputy commander and smoked them with fire and salt. The bacon can be preserved for a longer time." "Although it seems that you are not suitable for eating more salt now.
, this thing does not taste very good because it is a bit simple to make. But it is good to add some nutrients. You can eat a little bit, at least to reduce the swelling. There are also a dozen wild eggs in it.
You eat some too."
Taking the satchel handed over by Dong Ping, Wei Zhengmin shook his head insistently and said: "Leave it to the soldiers, I don't need it here. You are young and have to march long distances to fight. It's not good if you don't maintain your health well. From what you just reported
Judging from the situation, you have been out for more than a month."
"You are far away from the rear supplies and the situation is so dangerous. It is estimated that it will be difficult for you to obtain food. Since the meat can be stored for a period of time, you should keep it for yourself. I won't use it here."
Hearing that Wei Zhengmin wanted to keep these things for himself, Dong Ping quickly said: "Although we only brought half a month's worth of supplies this time, our main force was set up at Laohedingzi at the junction of Dunhua and Ning'an before heading north.
We found a secret camp where a lot of food and ammunition were stored. All the food was replenished there."
"Our deputy commander-in-chief told us when he arrived that this secret camp would be handed over to the First Army. In addition to the temporary replenishment of 20 kilograms per person, there are now more than 2,000 kilograms of grain and 100,000 Japanese-style three-packs.
Eight-type rifle ammunition. There is also some equipment. Although the quantity is not very large, there are more than 500 38-type rifles and ten crooked handles that we captured before heading north."
"After we find Commander-in-Chief Yang, we will hand over the secret camp and all the food, ammunition, and equipment to the First Army. But the Deputy Commander-in-Chief has repeatedly confessed that except for you and the Commander-in-Chief, and a few
Apart from the division commander of the main division, try not to let anyone know. Even the combat staff around you should try not to know."
Hearing what Dong Ping said, Wei Zhengmin couldn't help but be slightly stunned and said: "Your deputy commander really said that? Why? At least the people around us can still be trusted. The situation is so tense, if several of us insiders are
If he died, wouldn't the army have wasted a place where supplies could be supplied?"
Dong Ping did not answer Wei Zhengmin's question, but insisted: "This is what our deputy commander-in-chief has repeatedly told us. He has drawn a map of the storage locations of food and equipment, and I will hand it over to you personally in a moment. These things are ours
Director Peng of the Division Logistics Department personally did it, and even among the remaining troops, only a few people knew about it."
"Our deputy commander-in-chief has always been very accurate in his judgment of problems. I think he must have his reasons for doing this. I'm afraid he thinks that some of the people around you are unreliable. When we came, the deputy commander-in-chief once said,
The Route Army has all withdrawn to Jiangbei. This secret camp will be left to the Route Army."
"However, our deputy commander-in-chief hopes that you will not use the materials in this secret camp unless it is absolutely necessary, and you must do a good job in keeping it confidential. And I have repeatedly asked you and Commander-in-Chief Yang to tell you that, except for your army division commanders,
Don’t even tell the guard platoon leader and combat staff around you. Because this is for you to use in the most difficult times. Once someone among them rebels, it will cause great losses."
Regarding Dong Ping's words, Wei Zhengmin pondered for a long time and then said: "Okay, I will listen to your deputy commander-in-chief. I have read your deeds in the Japanese and puppet newspapers. They fought well. Although the little devils were greatly suppressed.
The number of casualties is high, but I'm afraid it won't be too light. This is evident from the fact that you can occupy several counties in the Sanjiang area where an entire Japanese division is stationed."
Perhaps it was because he had food in his belly, or perhaps it was the first time he met people from neighboring troops since he was partitioned in southern Manchuria. Wei Zhengmin was very talkative. Although he was eager to find the commander-in-chief of the First Army in order to complete Yang Zhen's instructions
It was the task of persuading the two men to withdraw to the north for rest and recuperation.
However, Dong Ping still had the patience not to interrupt his conversation, and in accordance with his request, he gave a detailed report on the experiences of his troops after they moved north from the secret camp in the southern mountains of Ning'an, including the surprise attack on Jingbo Lake.
, the two battles at Qunce Mountain and the bloody battle at Xingshan Fortress were all explained clearly.
Wei Zhengmin couldn't help nodding while listening. After Dong Ping finished his brief report, Wei Zhengmin sighed: "After all, heroes come from young. Our First Army once had an eighteen-year-old division commander who was the youngest in the entire Anti-Japanese Federation, and he was already very proud.
But now I see that your deputy commander is even better. At such a young age, he fought this battle with great openness and relaxation. I really want to meet him and ask him for advice."
However, Wei Zhengmin's sex talk did not last long before he was interrupted by someone. A man whose clothes were covered with grass, and it was impossible to tell that he was a person lying on the ground, came to Dong Ping and reported in a low voice: "Instructor.
, a group of Japanese and puppet military police just came from the valley on the right."
"This group of Japanese and puppet troops is mainly composed of puppet Manchukuo military police. There are about more than 100 people. They are relatively well-equipped. Each person has a long and short rifle. Except for the long rifle, which is all Type 38 carbine, the short rifles are all the same.
Speed machine. And there are two crooked machine guns and a radio. Do you think it’s time for us to retreat?”
After hearing this person's report, Wei Zhengmin suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "It's these traitors again. The Japanese and puppet troops you saw should be the so-called special forces formed by the Japanese army using traitors from the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Action Team.”
"We have suffered a big loss in their hands. They are familiar with our activities and pose a great threat to us. It can be said that the First Army is in such a predicament and it is directly caused by them. We have deployed more than 70 secrets in Jiang territory.
Basically all the more than 30 secret camps in Huadian were lost in their hands. All materials and food were destroyed."
At this point, Wei Zhengmin turned to Han Renhe and said: "Old Han, go and see if Cui Zhoufeng, who has been following us all day, is advancing, or is Cheng Bin, who is biting the commander-in-chief, advancing? Or is Tang Zhendong, who is in the middle and supporting us, advancing?
Team?"
After Han Renhe responded, he hurried down the mountain with a few soldiers from the guard brigade. Seeing Han Renhe's back going down the mountain, Dong Ping motioned to the lurking sentry who had just come to report and took a few people to follow him.
Don't let anything happen. If you can avoid alerting the enemy, try not to alert the enemy. After all, Wei Zhengmin is here.
Although the more than a hundred Japanese puppet troops in front of me are not in my eyes, who knows if there are other Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding mountains and forests for dozens of miles? Once the gunshots attract other Japanese and puppet troops, I will
It doesn't matter, relying on the sophisticated equipment of my reconnaissance company and the tactical qualities developed through hard training, it is not difficult to stand out.
But there are also the general political commissar and troops of the First Army here. If I leave them here, even if I return to the Stone Temple intact, I am afraid that the deputy commander-in-chief will have to skin him.
Fortunately, Han Renhe is also a veteran. Although he has not received as strict training as Dong Ping's subordinates, he has rich guerrilla experience. Without alerting the enemy, he also has a clear picture of the general situation of the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain.
When Han Renhe came back panting to report, there was still a trace of excitement on his face and said: "Political Commissar, Yamashita is that son of a bitch Cheng Bin. This bastard is in the team at Yamashita, and I recognized him at a glance.
"
"Now they are burying pots and making rice at the foot of the mountain. They have no defense at all. Political Commissar, how about killing these guys. If we let them bite us again, it will become more and more difficult for us. These guys know us too well. Even if
We changed the rules of our actions and still persisted. Only by completely solving them can we truly get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops."
After looking at the guard brigade with no more than a hundred people around him and the almost half-deflated bullet belts on the soldiers, Wei Zhengmin hesitated for a long time, but gritted his teeth and told Han Renhe and after hearing that Cheng Bin, the biggest traitor of the First Army, was under the mountain,
The soldiers who gathered around to ask for a fight said: "Cheng Bin is an old subordinate of the Commander-in-Chief, and he knows the Commander-in-Chief too well. If this group of traitors is not dealt with, he will always be a threat to the Commander-in-Chief."
"Old Han, you collect the ammunition and use it for the soldiers who are good at marksmanship. The others put on bayonets and use grenades. We will take advantage of them when they are at their lowest vigilance when they are eating, and attack them quickly. I don't care about others.
That Cheng Bin must be seen alive and dead. He must not be allowed to escape."
After that, Wei Zhengmin looked at Dong Ping, who was standing silently aside. Although they were not assigned tasks because they were not part of the First Army, his eyes revealed what he was thinking at the moment. This instructor and
The troops in the regiment he led were extremely sophisticated. Although half of them were weapons that he had never seen before, they looked like automatic firearms. Each person also had six grenades and a speed machine hanging on his body. However,
The army of more than a hundred people actually had six grenadiers. In addition, there were six Type 96 light machine guns, the latest equipment of the Japanese.
Even though the troops of a regiment can't be looked down upon, the firepower on hand is enough to defeat a main division of the First Army. When Dong Ping's subordinates called him instructor, Wei Zhengmin thought he was a newly created position in the Second Route Army.
I thought that the more than 120 people in front of me were a regiment of the Second Route Army.
Wei Zhengmin, who is accustomed to looking at some things with the old Anti-League mentality, never thought that this was just the organization of a company under Yang Zhen. Moreover, because of the special nature of its operations, this company's organization had almost fewer people than an ordinary infantry company.
One-third.
It’s not surprising that Wei Zhengmin was mistaken. According to the establishment of the anti-alliance armies, more than 100 people are at least a regiment-level organization. Even after the brutal raids by the Japanese army last winter and this spring, a main division of the First Army even
Some of them had less than a hundred people, and even the entire army together only had more than 400 people.
The equipment doesn't matter, but the most important thing is that these people have enough ammunition, and each of them has a full bullet bag. Even if they don't participate in the war, if they can separate even half of the bullets on their bodies, their biggest problem will be
, the problem of insufficient ammunition can be solved.
Dong Ping, who had already made up his mind to retreat, frowned when he saw the troops of the First Army insisting on fighting. After receiving Wei Zhengmin's look, Dong Ping, who understood what he was thinking, was silent for a while and said: "Wei
Political Commissar, since you insist on fighting, we, the Second Route Army, cannot just sit back and watch."
"In this way, we can fight, but we must fight as the main force. And this battle is under my command, and your guard brigade can help us take precautions on the flanks and behind us. Please rest assured that when the battle is over, all the captured weapons will be
We don’t want any of it, we’ll hand it all over to you.”
