"Besides, I have brought back the person the headquarters is looking for. I have done meritorious service, so why should I be punished?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Liu quickly asked: "Where is the person the headquarters is looking for?"
Chi Cangheng pointed at Wen Gu and his sister, "That's right!"
Captain Liu looked in the direction of the finger and frowned. Aren't these two children? "Are you sure?" he asked Chi Cangheng.
"Anyway, their surnames are indeed Wen, one is Wen Gu and the other is Wen Xin."
Political Commissar Liu Zheng stepped forward and said, "Two young comrades, are you the children of Wen Su, the leader of the 129th Division Independent Regiment?"
"Yes, I heard that the headquarters is looking for us. What can I do?"
Political Commissar Liu was not sure of their identities, but seeing as they were young, even if there were any problems, they wouldn't make much of a fuss.
He said directly: "In this case, you can go to the brigade headquarters with me, because our group doesn't know the specific situation!"
Wen Gu was confused, why did he still go to the brigade headquarters? Yang Qu still has a lot of things waiting for him.
"Uncle, do you have to go to the brigade headquarters? Can't you do it here?" Wen Gu didn't want to run anymore.
Liu Zheng comforted him: "The main reason is that there is no radio station at the regiment headquarters, so we can't contact the headquarters. We can only go to the brigade headquarters."
"Radio station? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I almost forgot. Wait!" Wen Gu ran out after saying that. The radio station was still in the space.
After he finished sending the telegram, he put it away. Since he couldn't contact the headquarters, he thought their radio was silent.
About ten minutes later, Wen Gu came back with the radio in his arms. He ran outside the regiment's warning range before taking out the radio.
When Chi Cangheng saw the radio station Wen Gu was holding, it was like seeing a ghost. It was clear that both of them had empty hands along the way. Where did this radio station come from?
Wen Gu followed Captain Liu back to the regiment headquarters with the radio in his arms, turned on the radio and sent a report to the headquarters.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters
The deputy staff officer walked into the command room with the telegram, "Deputy Director, there is news about the Wen Gu brothers and sisters. They are now at the headquarters of the 716th Regiment, asking us what we need?"
The deputy director slammed the table, "Where are they? Why did they go to the 716th Regiment in northwestern Shanxi? The matter is done, why don't you go back to the base quickly, why are they running around outside?"
The deputy counselor looked at the message and explained, "Wen Gu said in the message that they still have a big thing to do in Yangqu, so the return time will be a few days late!"
"What a big deal, how big is it? I think they just gave up. Look, it's only been a day, and people have already gone to northwest Shanxi.
If we go to Beijing or Shanghai in a few days, will we go to Beijing or Shanghai? "The deputy director has been on tenterhooks ever since he sent the information about the underground party to the Wen Gu brothers and sisters.
They are all treasures of the Eighth Route Army. What if something happens?
"They didn't say what exactly?"
The deputy counselor shook his head. The deputy director thought for a while and said, "In this way, you give them the contact information of Yangqu's underground party and let them contact the comrades of the underground party in Yangqu.
If the matter is really necessary, then let the comrades of the underground party cooperate with them to complete it, and finish the matter quickly and return to the base. My heart can't bear it!
And if they join in, the success may be greater! "
The deputy director smiled and turned around and went out to send the telegram. Even though the deputy director's mouth was unforgiving, he felt very strange in his heart!
After Wen Gu received the telegram, he carefully remembered the contact information of the Yangqu underground party, and then said to Captain Liu and others:
"Captain Liu, the headquarters already knows that we have some unfinished business in Yangqu, so we are going back now."
After saying that, he was about to pack his things and leave. Wenxin noticed that the leader's eyes were following the radio station and gently pulled his brother's hand.
Wen Gu put the radio station he picked up back on the table and said with a smile: "Captain Liu is interested in the radio station? How about I give this radio station to you."
Captain Liu waved his hand and said it was not appropriate. The political commissar could not see the entanglement of his captain, so he stepped forward and took Wen Gu's hand, thanking him:
"Comrade Reminiscing, thank you for your kindness, we shamelessly accepted it.
You should have noticed that our regiment headquarters is relatively far from the brigade headquarters. Many times, due to communication problems, even if we discover enemy situations, we are unable to report them immediately.
It will be much more convenient if you have a radio station, which is a great thing! "
Wen Gu said nonchalantly: "Political commissar, don't say these words of thanks. My father is in the Eighth Route Army, so I know the situation of the Eighth Route Army very well.
It's not easy for everyone. If you need it, accept it. But you have to go to the brigade headquarters to get the telegraph operator and code book! "
When Captain Liu saw that the Wen Gu brothers and sisters had sincerely given the radio station to them, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't expect that his thorny second battalion commander actually found a boy who gave money to him.
"Comrade Reminiscence, on behalf of the 716th Regiment, I would like to thank you and your sister. If you come to northwestern Shanxi in the future, you must come and visit me!"
"Of course, Commander Liu, political commissar, we'll leave first."
"Second Battalion Commander, you take a squad of soldiers, mount the regiment's war horse, and send these two young comrades off. This place is a hundred kilometers away from Yangqu. This is no joke!"
"yes."
Chi Cangheng took the soldiers and Wen Gu's brother and sister and rode on the regiment's horse and set off. When he got to the road, he said to Wen Gu:
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would definitely be punished by the regiment leader and political commissar!"
Wen Gu smiled and asked him, "Captain Chi, do you know Li Yunhu?"
"Li Yunhu? Is he Li Yunhu from the 129th Division? Haha, not only do I know him, I also met him back then.
Let me tell you, this guy is not very good. He always eats and takes more. If you meet him, stay away! "
Wen Gu brother and sister looked at each other and smiled. The eldest brother of the two, let alone the second brother, can be seen just by looking at his sideline business, which is close to Yangqu.
Even compared with Li Yunhu, Camp Commander Chi was no less generous.
Talking and laughing along the way, until they approached the place where the ambush was held last night, Chi Cangheng took the reins and said to the Wen Gu brothers and sisters:
"I will send you here. As you go forward, you will encounter a Japanese checkpoint. You must be careful."
Wen Gu clasped his fists and said, "See you later." Then he dismounted from his horse with Wen Xin and ran in the direction of Yangqu, quickly disappearing from the eyes of the soldiers of the second battalion.
Chi Cangheng looked at the direction they were leaving and felt very uncomfortable. The country was poor and weak, and no one, men, women, old or young could be spared.
The Wen Gu brothers and sisters didn't return to Yangqu until noon. Fortunately, they were both physically strong and had not rested all day and night, so they were still in good spirits.
The Japs had been tracking the traces of gold in the past two days, so Yangqu's peripheral defense was relatively loose. The two of them were dressed in rags and entered Yangqu very easily.
It’s freezing cold in Yangqu in winter. Even at noon when the temperature is the highest, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
Wen Gu brought Wen Xin to the street in the north of the city. The two of them stood at a corner. Wen Gu pointed to a medicine shop and whispered:
"That's the underground party's liaison station. I'll go in first!"
