The sun had not yet come up the next day, so Aunt Xiao took Yu Chenglong and her two brothers who stayed here to meet outside the town.
Yu Chenglong unloaded his horse and put on the horses brought by the brothers who came to greet him. After they hitched the carriage, they parted ways to say goodbye.
Aunt Xiao San said some more words and then said goodbye reluctantly. Although it was a brief meeting, the two were still very satisfied and had put aside the worries of a long winter. Several people held hands affectionately and set off on their new journeys.
Yu Chenglong looked at Aunt Xiao Xiao in the distance, then got on his horse and walked towards the mountain quickly and slowly. It was approaching noon, the sun was warming people lazily, and the horses gradually slowed down.
Ahead is a small village, which looks quiet and lifeless. Yu Chenglong wanted to take a rest, but on second thought he felt it was inappropriate. Safety should come first at this time.
So Yu Chenglong turned his horse to the right, preparing to go around the village. Ever since he knew that the commander-in-chief was going to defect to the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, he had always felt a little awkward.
Yu Chenglong didn't know much about this team. Although he heard that the people's response was pretty good, with so few people defecting now, they would definitely not reward the commander-in-chief with any high-ranking officials.
With the tempers of the leaders of the Manchurian National Salvation Army, how could they be willing to be controlled by others? I wonder what the commander-in-chief thinks? Yu Chenglong couldn't turn around.
"Stop! What are you doing? Come here and get checked!"
Seven or eight Ergouzi dressed in black leather rushed out from a larger house on the edge of the village and ran towards Yu Chenglong with guns in hand.
Yu Chenglong, who believed in horseback riding, was immediately shocked. He estimated that these people were arresting young men, or they were masters who suspected that he was rich and wanted to blackmail him.
Yu Chenglong didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately turned the horse's head, and he leaned on the horse and ran away. Yu Chenglong didn't want to get entangled with these people, knowing that he would get into trouble.
'Bang' 'bang'! The pursuer actually shot, and they shot continuously. The target was Yu Chenglong, and they had no intention of scaring him.
The distance was so close that Yu Chenglong's horse was shot and fell to the ground, and he fell off the horse unexpectedly. Yu Chenglong got up and fired back at the chasing crowd.
Two people were shot and fell to the ground instantly. The chasing black dog stopped chasing and lay down on the ground. He didn't even shoot, but buried his head in the ground.
Yu Chenglong was not willing to fight. Although he was very angry, he had to get up and bend down and run away, leaving behind the injured horse that fell to the ground.
This encounter made Yu Chenglong more cautious along the way. He hides when he sees people and goes around villages when he sees them. Although the journey was slow, it was relatively safe, and there were no more encounters with the enemy.
When he arrived in the mountains, he would choose a place that was safe and difficult to leave traces. He was as smart as a cunning bobcat. This lesson taught smart people a lot.
After successfully returning to the mountains, Yu Chenglong did not tell the brothers about the commander-in-chief's intention to join the revolutionary army. Instead, he continued to lead the brothers to intensify military training and read and write during breaks.
He also conveyed the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, Navy Commander, and Commander Xiao to have the team train and be on standby, ready to go out to fight the enemy at all times.
The good news that the commander-in-chief, navy commander, Commander Xiao and others were safe and sound and recruiting troops outside the mountains was conveyed to various secret camps.
The low mood that the brothers had suppressed all winter was aroused again, and the mood for military training and literacy was high.
Yu Chenglong discussed with Deputy Commander Zhang and sent out capable brothers to detect the whereabouts of Japanese laborers and report back to the mountain at any time.
Entering the third month of the lunar calendar, Commander Xiao went into the mountains and conveyed the commander-in-chief's current strategic policy of "hiding in the mountains, training troops to be on standby, expanding the team, and waiting for opportunities to attack."
Yu Chenglong did not ask Commander Xiao to return to her secret camp immediately. Instead, he kept her for two days and asked her to help see the training and literacy of the brothers in his secret camp.
After reading it, Commander Xiao thought it was very good and said that she would let her brothers practice like this after returning to the secret camp. On the way back from inspecting the team's training, the two sat down on a hillside.
"I reported your idea to the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief said that for the long-term interests of the team, he has decided to join the revolutionary army. I hope you can implement his decision.
The commander-in-chief agrees with your idea of expanding the team and has instructed the navy commander to take action. When I came back this time, I was also ordered to recruit the brothers from the secret contact point back to the mountains. At the same time, I asked them to recruit as many brothers as possible into the mountains while ensuring safety.
The commander-in-chief instructs you to do the same, and strive to complete the team expansion before summer, and then merge into the revolutionary army.
I will return to the secret camp tomorrow to start this work, and you must act quickly. Right now, your team is still intact. You should further expand your strength. You will also have capital after joining the revolutionary army, and you can't be careless! "
Commander Xiao expressed her opinion to Jackie Chan, and of course Yu Chenglong understood it. He knew that Xiao Sanyi was thinking about him. After all, she was going to join the revolutionary army, so she should preserve her strength.
"It seems that the commander-in-chief has made up his mind, and I absolutely cannot disobey him. But I cannot agree to withdraw the brothers from the secret contact point to the mountain, nor do I agree to let them recruit brothers. It is too dangerous.
The secret contact point has just been established and cannot be touched so easily. This is an important capital of our Manchuria Liberation Army. It will be used even if we join the revolutionary army.
I advise you not to do this easily, and always be cautious. As for the problem of soldiers, we will find other ways to solve it. "
Yu Chenglong also persuaded Xiao Sanyi to keep an eye out. The brothers at the secret contact point cannot be used for the time being in case of urgent needs in the future. This is very important.
"I've already promised the commander-in-chief, but I'm afraid it's not good to do this! Besides, if I don't do this, is there any other good way?"
Commander Xiao stood up and spoke, looking a little helpless. Yu Chenglong thought for a long time and put forward his suggestion to Xiao Sanyi.
"Withdraw the brothers who are the secret contact points known to the commander-in-chief first. The others must not only lurk secretly, but also continue to expand contact points and spies. This cannot be changed! I will try to help you solve your troop source problem.
You have to listen to me this time. We can't put our capital into it. If a whole team is scattered, we can't even have a place to stay. I will send someone to escort you tomorrow and bring back some food for the brothers. "
Yu Chenglong also stood up. After speaking, he signaled to Aunt Xiao not to continue this topic, and then accompanied Commander Xiao back to his secret military camp.
After sending Aunt Xiao away with some reluctance, Yu Chenglong and Deputy Commander Zhang studied the team expansion plan issued by the commander-in-chief. Yu Chenglong first explained his point of view. Of course, it was also the brothers who would not use the secret contact point for the time being. .
