"After the ceremony!" Li Yan turned around and ordered, and then led his brothers to the West Shandong base area. Unexpectedly, as soon as the team approached the gate of the station, a group of hostile Eighth Route Army soldiers blocked in front of Li Yan and raised their hands.
With the rifle in his hand pointed at his unit, an older soldier looked Li Yan up and down and asked, "Which section are you in?"
Li Yan walked up to the soldier and saluted: "I am Li Yan from Xishan Station. Yesterday..." Before Li Yan could finish speaking, the soldier became impatient and approached Li Yan.
After a few steps, he moved the muzzle of the gun forward a few times and said: "Secret signal."
At this time, Li Yan became puzzled. He recalled what happened before, and finally remembered that Lao Li handed the pen to him yesterday. He quickly took out the pen and handed it to him.
In front of the soldier, he wanted to see if the pen was the so-called code. The Eighth Route Army soldier took the pen and pulled off the cap on it, then twisted it a few times to take out the pen core inside. At the end of the pen core
When he was about to come out, a small piece of paper fell to the ground. The soldier bent down to pick it up, took a look at it and immediately ordered: "It's our man, put down the gun!" Then he walked up to Li Yan and gave a military salute.
"I'm sorry, comrade, we are just conducting a routine inspection. Please wait here for a moment while I inform the commander." After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the gate of the West Shandong Station.
A sentry patrolling in front of the station reached out his hand to stop the Eighth Route Army soldier who ran to the door and said: "Password."
"It's windy today."
"South wind or north wind?"
"Southwest wind."
"How strong is the wind?"
"Our well has been blown to the roof!"
"Then how did you drink the water?"
"Go to Sanli River to get water."
Seeing nothing unusual, the sentry raised the gun in his hand, and the Eighth Route Army soldier returned the gesture with a military salute, and then ran towards the garrison.
Li Yan and Liu Guangyao reunited the team again and waited for the arrival of the leader of the West Shandong Base Area. After a while, a man who looked like a leader, escorted by four guards, walked towards Li Yan.
Li Yan went up to greet the chief and saluted the chief. The chief returned the salute and then said: "Are you transferred from the Xishan garrison?"
"Yes." Li Yan replied softly. The leader turned around and waved his hand a few times. The sentries guarding the door moved the wooden horses lying in front of the door. Seeing that the door was wider, the leader asked Li Yan to put him in front of the door.
The brothers from the two regiments were brought into the camp together. When the last brother stepped into the gate of the camp, the leader walked over and patted Li Yan and Liu Guangyao twice, indicating that they should follow him. Li Yan and Liu Guangyao followed him.
Entered the conference room.
"Sit down," the chief said.
The two of them sat on the chairs with the leader.
The chief took out a pen and put it on the table. Li Yan took a quick look and recognized that it was the pen that Lao Li had given to him. However, there was a secret code hidden in it. Li Yan really didn't understand this at all.
have no idea.
The chief looked at the pen and sighed: "There is a note in this pen. The handwriting on it is Li Laopao's. He turned out to be a regiment commander in my station. He is brave and resourceful... and dares to fight.
, not afraid of death..." At this point, he gently wiped his eyes with his hand.
"So, you know Lao Li..." Li Yan asked tentatively. The leader looked at Li Yan and nodded slightly: "He has always used this pen as a treasure. He will not use it until he has to."
I gave it to others casually, so this time... oh... what a good comrade..." The chief choked up a little at this time. Before Li Yan could speak, he continued: "My name is Jiang Zhen, you guys.
Call me Brigadier Jiang. Now the Xishan Station has been bombed by the Japanese, and there is a Watanabe waiting for you to show up, so you definitely can’t go back. Tell me, what do you want to stay in next?
Should I fight the Japanese with me or merge with the teams in other base areas?" Jiang Zhen looked at Li Yan and asked.
"Fight the Japanese! Avenge Lao Li!" Li Yan and Liu Guangyao said in unison. Jiang Zhen thought about it for a while and then said: "Let's do this. I will integrate thousands of you soldiers into a reinforced regiment. Li Yan, Lao
Since Li trusts you so much, then you are the leader of this reinforced regiment. Guangyao, I will appoint you as the deputy regiment and follow Li Yan to fight the Japanese. Now you go back and have a meal with your soldiers. Later we will study how to do it.
Clean up Watanabe." After saying that, he stood up and opened the door of the conference room. Li Yan and Liu Guangyao saluted with a military salute and walked out. Liu Guangyao was really hungry and said to Li Yan, "As they passed by,
After Li Yan's confirmation, Liu Guangyao ran all the way to the cooks, grabbed a bun and gnawed it, but Li Yan was not in a hurry to eat, but turned around and walked to the door of the conference room, stretched out his hand on the door
After knocking a few times and seeing Jiang Zhen open the door, Li Yan saluted with a military salute: "Commander Jiang, let's work out the specific matters for attacking the Watanabe stronghold now."
Jiang Zhen glanced at Liu Guangyao who was devouring food not far away, then looked at Li Yan in front of him and said, "Come in." After Li Yan entered the conference room, Jiang Zhen laid a tactical terrain map on the table and turned around to ask
Li Yan: "What suggestions do you have for this attack on Watanabe?"
Li Yan took a few steps forward and looked at the map. He saw four lines drawn on it: the first line started from inside the Watanabe stronghold and extended outwards through the north and south, and the second line crossed it.
In the middle of the first line, the west side intersects with the Watanabe stronghold to form a circuitous route. The other line goes southeast, bypassing the Xishan stronghold and then turns to the south. Li Yan concluded that this second line should be Watanabe's retreat.
The preparations made. The third line extends to the southwest from the Xishan East Eighth Route Army base area where he is currently located. When it reaches the middle part, it is divided into two large and small branches. The larger one extends along the Xishan Middle Road.
As far as the blue line representing the Watanabe force in the northwest, the smaller one penetrates directly into the Watanabe stronghold.
The last line is the most complicated one. This line originates from the Xishandong base area and is divided into four branches near the Xishan Pass. The two branches follow the middle road to the north and end in the west of the Xishan Mountain. The two end points are separated by approximately
About 500 meters away, the remaining two lines coincided with the line that went straight to the Watanabe stronghold before, and the other line extended slightly north and west to coincide with the Watanabe circuitous route. Li Yan frowned and looked at these few lines on the map.
After analyzing the lines carefully, he finally drew a few imaginary lines on the map with his finger. Jiang Zhen thought about it secretly in his mind. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He picked up the pen and followed the path drawn by Li Yan's finger on the map.
Draw a few lines on it.
