Hearing Li Mingrui's report, Yang Zhen couldn't help but be shocked. [.Com text] There was a Japanese plane circling above his head. Could it be that the Japanese had already suspected this? Yang Zhen grabbed the telescope and ran away without any hesitation.
come out.
Yang Zhen did not run out. Outside the Mulengzi was a small open space with an area of about ten square meters. Running away by himself was tantamount to exposing his target. As for the concealment of this well-hidden Mulengzi that he designed with his own hands,
Yang Zhen is still confident. As long as he does not take the initiative to expose the target, the Japanese aircraft will not be easily visible in the sky. After all, the aircraft of this era do not have the advanced radars, thermal imagers, infrared detectors and other advanced equipment of later generations.
equipment.
Yang Zhenfu stood at the door and carefully raised his binoculars to look in the direction Li Mingrui was pointing. Sure enough, directly north of him, there were several planes circling over different areas at the height of brushing the treetops. The planes took up
The strong wind blew the treetops back and forth. It was a reconnaissance plane, and Yang Zhen discovered it at a glance.
Perhaps knowing that there was no anti-aircraft firepower on the ground to threaten him, these planes flew very arrogantly. Because these reconnaissance planes flew too low, Yang Zhen could even clearly see the numbers on the planes.
Looking at these reconnaissance planes that couldn't stop circling, Yang Zhen turned around and asked Li Mingrui: "How long have these planes been circling? Are our troops well hidden?"
When Li Mingrui heard Yang Zhen's inquiry, he immediately climbed over and said: "These planes have been circling for a while. However, commander, don't worry, our prevention and control post on the top of the mountain discovered these planes very early."
"Although this thing poses a great threat to us, it is quiet inside the mountain forest. It flies so low that the sound can be heard from afar. As soon as the air defense sentry on the top of the mountain sounded the alarm, each company hid in its respective areas as you requested in advance.
The barracks. Even the pack horses were brought in."
"When our barracks were being built, you specifically emphasized air defense, which is extremely concealable. No matter how low the Japanese plane flies, as long as it doesn't come down, it won't be able to spot us. And judging from the current situation, I guess the Japanese planes can't find us."
The reconnaissance plane did not detect our troops. Otherwise, the Japanese plane would have gone back to report the news."
After hearing Li Mingrui's report, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "The Japs are looking for us. You go and inform the company commanders that no one is allowed to show up until the enemy planes leave. In addition, tell the troops to prepare dry food. In the next two days, we will definitely
No fire or smoke is allowed, especially at night. It's getting cold at night, so give the sentry more clothes. If that doesn't work, go to Director Guo to get some coats for the sentry to wear. In addition, in the past few days, both light and covert sentries have been added.
The firepower on duty must also be strengthened. The little devils didn't find anything this time, but they won't give up until they find us."
After Yang Zhen finished explaining Li Mingrui, he put down the telescope and stuffed it into Li Mingrui's hand and said: "They are all reconnaissance planes. Just be careful. You continue to observe. The political commissar and I will continue the meeting. You keep an eye on it and report back if anything happens.
.”
Yang Zhen returned to his seat, looked at a few people, smiled and said: "It's a reconnaissance plane of the Japs. It's not a threat. We don't need to pay attention to it. Let's continue talking about us."
After that, Yang Zhen said to Li Yanping: "Political Commissar, I still say that no matter whether the commander-in-chief comes or not, this radio station must find a way to send it to him. We can't just rely on the traffic crew. This will not only
It’s safe, and the news is delivered slowly. For some things, the day lily is cold by the time the traffic officer arrives all the way. However, it’s better to try your best to persuade the commander-in-chief to come over.”
Hearing Yang Zhen's firm tone, Li Yanping hesitated and said, "Since the commander insists, then I'll go. Others may not be able to explain clearly. I can report to the commander-in-chief what we discussed today when I get back."
"
Having said this, Li Yanping hesitated for a moment and then said: "When I go back, I may have a chance to persuade the commander-in-chief to move the headquarters here for rest. After all, I still have a certain say in the commander-in-chief. As for me, the commander-in-chief can
You can listen."
Hearing Li Yanping's self-recommendation, Yang Zhen hesitated for a while and said after a long time: "Political Commissar, you'd better think about it, think about it. There are only a few political cadres in the army. During the training period, the training of political cadres will be inseparable from you. Go to the commander-in-chief.
, is it really true that no one can replace you?"
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Li Yanping was silent for a while. He did not express his position, but shook his head. Yang Zhen somewhat understood the reason for Li Yanping's insistence. In fact, it was not that there was no one who could replace him and return to the Second Route Army Headquarters.
Headquarters. Wang Guangyu, the former deputy commander of the Fourth Army and current deputy chief of staff of the army, who followed him as the commander-in-chief when he founded the Fifth Army, is much more suitable than him.
Li Yanping insisted on going back to see the commander-in-chief. Of course, the matter was so important that he was worried about others going there. But more importantly, he wanted to go back and explain to the commander-in-chief, who was the top leader of the Jidong party, government and army at this time, and even
Please forgive me.
Since Li Yanping joined Yang Zhen's army, although it seemed that he had emerged from the shadow of the failure of the Western Expedition, Yang Zhen, who was very careful, could see from bits and pieces of signs that he just suppressed the failure.
It's just in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't smoke and suffer from insomnia night after night.
The Fourth Army, which once served as the main force of the Second Route Army together with the Fifth Army. It was once a strong force and had more than 2,000 guns at its peak. In this Western Expedition, for which the commander-in-chief had great hopes, it can be said that the entire army was destroyed and became the main force of the resistance.
It was the first army among the coalition armies to completely fail. As the commander of an army, it was impossible for Li Yanping not to suffer. In his heart, it was even possible that he would blame himself for the complete cause of the failure.
From Yang Zhen's point of view, Li Yanping's insistence on going back was not only to persuade the commander-in-chief to retreat to Lao Heidingzi's secret camp for rest, but also to go back to plead guilty. But if Li Yanping didn't tell him about this reason, Yang Zhen couldn't do it for him.
If you speak out, you can only choose silence.
Li Yanping's silence suddenly silenced the venue. Wang Guangyu, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Commander, political commissar, and commander-in-chief, I should go there."
"I have been working in the Fifth Army since I joined the army. I served as the director of the political department and division commander for many years. Before I was transferred to the Fourth Army, I also served as a member of the Party Committee of the Fifth Army. The Fifth Army is an army created by the commander-in-chief, and I work there.
For many years, I can be considered an old subordinate of the commander-in-chief. It is more appropriate for me to go."
"Furthermore, I have followed the commander-in-chief for many years, and I know the commander-in-chief's personality and character very well. I am also very familiar with several secret camps of the commander-in-chief. The little devil has mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Xiajiang area. The commander-in-chief must be in constant
During the transfer. Although I have been transferred to work in the Fourth Army, I can roughly guess the transfer route of the general headquarters. If I go, it will be much faster to find the commander-in-chief."
At this point, Wang Guangyu suddenly spoke louder: "Political Commissar, as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, I know very well that the reason for the failure of the Fourth Army is not your responsibility. To say that you are responsible is also the common responsibility of all of us. It cannot be your responsibility."
Everyone is responsible. Don’t worry, I guarantee with my party spirit that I will report the reasons for the failure of this Western Expedition to the commander-in-chief in detail when I get back."
Hearing Wang Guangyu's self-recommendation, Yang Zhen glanced at Li Yanping, who was smoking there without saying a word, and then quickly agreed: "Okay, you go. You choose the escort team yourself, and the one you choose will be given to you."
Wang Guangyu shook his head and said: "There is no need for more, one squad is enough. Although the Japanese have not entered the mountains to hunt us yet, they just haven't figured out our movements yet. A large number of troops will definitely be gathered in Ning'an. The troops have brought more,
It is easy to be discovered by the Japanese. Moreover, I have fought guerrillas in Ning'an for many years with the commander-in-chief, so I am very familiar with the environment here. With few people, I can slip through the gaps of the Japanese."
After that, Wang Guangyu said half seriously, half jokingly: "Besides, our army is now fully staffed. The strength of a squad is greater than that of a company in the Fourth Army. When I say pick a squad, I actually mean
A company."
After the joke was over, Wang Guangyu said seriously: "However, the most reliable soldiers in this squad must be selected. According to my feeling, the general headquarters should now be active in the Diaoling and Yidong areas."
"Although we have achieved some victories through continuous operations, we have restrained the Japanese and puppet troops in the Xiajiang area and mobilized part of them. However, the little devils will not give up until the Second Anti-Alliance Army has been eliminated. I am afraid that the Japanese and puppet troops will still be there.
Heavy troops are gathered and the blockade is tight. It is very likely that I will encounter Japanese and puppet troops along the way."
"So the escort soldiers don't need to be many, but they must be firm and reliable personnel. Because we have suffered too much from traitors. Once anyone rebels, this old black top secret camp may be exposed. Without Lao Hei
At Dingzi Secret Camp, we have lost our last shelter in the coming winter."
After listening to Wang Guangyu's words, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. In this way, I will choose the escort for you and equip you with the best equipment. Also, the route is all mountainous, so I will guide you
Bring enough supplies. As long as you don’t come into contact with strangers, the possibility of exposure is not too great.”
"But from here to Diao Ling, you have to cross almost the entire Laoye Ridge and Zhang Guangcai Ridge. You must be more careful. As long as there are no accidents, we will have a radio contact at ten o'clock every night."
At this point, Yang Zhen stopped Wang Guangyu from wanting to speak and said: "At the very least, we need to know if you are safe. Lao Wang, I just took a look at your journey. You are basically in the deep mountains and old forests.
march."
"Whether the Japs find us or not, they will definitely impose a tight blockade on the mountains in this area. Under the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, it will be difficult for ordinary people to enter the mountains. And the Japs have basically completed the return of this generation.
Binghu, the villages in the mountains have basically been relocated. Under the tight blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops, it is difficult for ordinary people to stay in the mountains for a long time."
"If you encounter any so-called ginseng pickers or hunters in the mountains and forests, they are most likely spies sent by the Japanese. You must be more careful with strangers. As long as the identity of the person is unknown, he can be executed on the spot for violating mass discipline.
If someone holds me accountable in the future, I will be responsible for everything."
"Everything is about your safety. Because you are not only related to our communication with the Second Route Army Headquarters, but also related to the life and death of the Second Route Army Headquarters. So you must be cautious and careful. When necessary, don't have taboos.
"
"In addition, I have something you want to bring to the commander-in-chief for me. You tell him that if you want to find the party, you don't have to send troops to march west to open up the route to the customs, let alone place your hopes on the Soviets. Hope still has to be
If you hold it in your own hands and place it on others, it will always be in vain. Whether it is Big Brother or anyone else, your own interests come first."
"Tell the commander-in-chief and ask him to send capable personnel to Dalian and take a boat to Shandong without going through the party organizations along the route. Our 18th Group Army has troops in Shandong. In order to open up the situation in Shandong, the central government has sent many cadres to Shandong since last year.
Work."
"The people you send can contact them directly and transfer to Yan'an through them. It is best for the people you send out to be familiar with the former commander of the Fourth Army who has been transferred back to the central government to avoid misunderstandings. After all, we have already established a relationship with the central government.
We have lost contact for a long time, and the enemy situation is so complicated. Of course, it is best to take a password with us when we leave, so that we can contact the central government directly in the future."
"Remember, never go through local party organizations. Because our information is too limited now, the situation of local party organizations is very unclear. Moreover, the Japanese and puppets are increasingly destroying local party organizations. We don't know the local party organizations."
If you contact him rashly, you may be exposed."
"Also, please tell the commander-in-chief that you must pay attention to your own safety and leave a capable force by your side at all times. Also, when things are really unavoidable, in addition to leaving a small force to persist,
In addition to guerrilla warfare, the entire army must retreat to the Soviet Union. At least it must be able to get a short rest and respite to avoid the entire army being destroyed."
"The Soviets will not help us contact the central government, but at present, the friction with the Japanese and puppet troops is increasing day by day, especially when a serious conflict broke out between the Japanese and Soviet armies in the Zhanggufeng area some time ago, I think they will not mind getting a
A stable source of intelligence. After all, the Soviets are not blind and will not turn a blind eye to the Kwantung Army's successive troop increases."
"I believe that as long as we can help them figure out the Kwantung Army's troop deployment in the Northeast, especially on the border with the Soviet Union, the Soviets will not mind providing us with a place to recuperate."
Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Wang Guangyu nodded solemnly and said: "Commander, please rest assured, I will convey your words to the commander-in-chief verbatim."
After saying that, Wang Guangyu stood up, saluted Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun, and Peng Dingjie with a standard military salute and said: "Commander, political commissar, since it has been decided that I will go to the headquarters to report, then things should be done accordingly."
Sooner rather than later. We'll set off tonight, I'll go down and make preparations first."
Yang Zhen nodded when he heard this, patted Wang Guangyu on the shoulder, turned to Peng Dingjie and said: "Lao Peng, you will choose the best pack horse later. If it doesn't work, you can choose it from the artillery. Then we will seize the horse in Weihe County."
I brought two boxes of Japanese cans, as well as milk powder and refined rut for Lao Wang except leaving some for the wounded. Oh, and by the way, there are also salt and medicines. The Japanese have repeatedly raided and raided, and I am afraid that the commander-in-chief is there.
It will be very difficult. These materials will be replenished by the comrades in the general headquarters."
After that, he said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, you go and choose the best radio station, and then choose the best operator. In addition, we are adjusting the escorting troops and selecting some veterans with excellent military skills. It is really not possible.
Just select from among the squad leaders. We must ensure that this squad is equipped with two submachine guns and a pistol for each person. Also, let Liu Changshun be the squad leader."
"You tell him that no matter what, he must safely escort Deputy Chief of Staff Wang and the radio station to the designated location. Even if the whole squad is wiped out, I don't blame him. As long as Deputy Chief of Staff Wang can be safely escorted to the designated location,
I will give him a big credit."
After Yang Zhen assigned tasks to Peng Dingjie and Guo Bingxun, and was about to tell Wang Guangyu some more things that needed to be paid attention to on the road, there were explosions outside. Hearing the explosions, Yang Zhen stopped talking and took a few steps
We rushed outside Mulengzi.
