Yu Chenglong studied and discussed the current situation with political commissar Jin Yunji and deputy captain Zhang Daoxian. Deputy captain Zhang Daoxian first expressed his opinion that he believed that the Manbei Corps was still in danger.
"I think what Vice Captain Zhang said makes sense. From the time your Manchuria Liberation Army was established to the establishment of our Anti-Alliance Manbei Corps, the little devils have hated our team to the core!
Especially if you cross the river, the little devil will never give up until he catches you! Therefore, they will definitely not retreat far, and they will definitely search for our traces everywhere.
The little devils have radio stations, communication equipment, special forces, airplanes, and search dogs. If these methods are used, we may be exposed if we are not careful. "
Political Commissar Jin Yunji affirmed the judgment of Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian. She said that the Japs have many investigation methods and must not be careless. Once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"From now on, the troops are still prohibited from setting fires during the day, and they are not allowed to light bonfires at night. The troops are not allowed to train during the day, and they are all hiding in secret camps to avoid being discovered by Japanese planes.
In addition, be prepared to move to a new secret camp. If the situation changes, move immediately. Tomorrow, people will be sent to follow the Japanese retreating troops to conduct reconnaissance and understand the situation clearly.
I think that if the Japanese are searching for us, they will definitely expand the search area around Tianyaoling. Tomorrow, we will have to send people to the two secret camps of the Corps to report our intentions to the General Political Commissar and the Commander-in-Chief, and ask them to do the same. Good concealment and transfer preparation. "
While affirming the judgments of the two of them, Yu Chenglong also put forward his own opinions. He also felt that once discovered by the enemy, it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Japanese in this freezing season.
"Don't think about going to the new secret camp yet. We were ordered to station here. It was the decision of the headquarters. What I meant was to tell the head of the headquarters to remind them to be more vigilant.
If we are discovered here, they will evacuate to the secret camp at the headquarters first. If the two secret camps at the headquarters are discovered, they will also evacuate to us first. After we meet up, we will consider going to our new secret camp. "
Political Commissar Jin Yunji did not agree with Yu Chenglong's confirmed plan to go to the new secret camp immediately after being discovered. Instead, she proposed to gather the team and then listen to the arrangements of the head of the corps.
"Your political commissar still has a strong sense of organization. I may be a bit arbitrary. Well, tomorrow I will send someone to check out a road between the three secret camps. They must bypass Tianyaoling. This road is too dangerous!
However, since the Japanese have estimated that we are in the Tianyaoling area, they will definitely not give up easily. Sooner or later we may be discovered.
It is still recommended that the head of the headquarters strengthen precautions. If the enemy's search relaxes a little and gives us a chance, we will unite the team and move secretly.
"I know it's not good that the head of the headquarters doesn't know about the construction of the new secret camp. But without this new secret camp, we really don't know where we are going to stay this winter. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Yu Chenglong expressed his attitude very seriously, and political commissar Jin Yunji laughed after hearing this. She felt that although Yu Chenglong was a bit arbitrary, his strategy was still very strong, and his predictions were sometimes very accurate.
"I admire the deputy commander's foresight! Without this new secret camp, we would have no confidence. This is especially true when the enemy is strong and we are weak. I don't think the head of the headquarters will blame us.
What's more, building a secret camp in advance was also your regular practice in the past, and the head of the corps can understand it. Okay, I support your opinion, just prepare according to this idea! "
The three discussed some details again, and Political Commissar Jin and Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian both agreed with Yu Chenglong's opinion. Deputy Captain Zhang also got up and went out to the secret camps to make detailed arrangements and give the brothers an advance notice.
The weather still shows no signs of easing and insists on cooling down. People still couldn't relax, vigilantly and anxiously waiting for the next news from the Japanese.
However, in the past few days, Yu Chenglong and the Fourth Battalion's secret camp have been relatively quiet. No new enemy movements have been discovered, and of course they have not searched in the direction of their secret camp.
A few days later, I suddenly heard the sound of a Japanese plane. But it seemed to fly twice aimlessly, and of course nothing was found.
However, this little devil's plane flew very low, and the hovering range was also in the Tianyaoling area. Whenever the little devil's plane flies over, the strange scream still makes people panic.
The two soldiers who had previously gone to the secret camp of the corps to check the road also returned and conveyed the commander-in-chief's instructions, saying that the troops should strengthen their concealment. If they were discovered by the Japanese, they would move to their secret camp. If the secret camp of the corps was discovered, they would also It will be transferred to the secret camp of Jackie Chan's brigade so that Jackie Chan's team can prepare.
The colder the weather, the worse people's mood. In addition, in order to prevent being discovered by the Japanese, the team reduced the amount of fire used. The brothers all stayed in the secret camp, enduring the cold, anxiously and worriedly alert to the Japanese's movements.
In particular, the appearance of Japanese planes has aggravated people's worries. The battle between the Big and Little Shili Mountains left the soldiers with a lingering fear of the Japanese planes.
This monster can't be hit, can't hide, and can't hide. It's a big loss! The soldiers hated these killing machines, but they had no choice but to gnash their teeth and curse.
In order to appease the soldiers, political commissar Jin Yunji and deputy captain Zhang Daoxian often shuttled between various secret camps, educating the soldiers to be vigilant against the enemy, but also to relax and be ready to move at any time.
Military training activities in the secret camp were temporarily suspended, but political, military, and literacy studies increased significantly. The tension among the soldiers has eased, and the atmosphere in the secret camp has gradually returned to normal.
At this time, the reconnaissance soldiers who followed the large Japanese troops retreating out of the mountain hurriedly came back to report that the large Japanese troops had gone and returned, and their target was still Tianyaoling.
It seems like they know our hiding place. There were about three to four hundred Japs and one thousand seventeen to eight hundred Jing'an troops in this army. The marching speed was not very fast.
"Oops, the secret camp at the headquarters may have been discovered! If it is discovered here, the Japanese will not return to Tianyaoling and will go directly to our direction to get closer.
Deputy Captain Zhang immediately sent people to bypass Tianyaoling according to the planned route to meet the headquarters troops. At the same time, he sent people to Tianyaoling for reconnaissance to see if the Japs really went to Tianyaoling.
I went to arrange the defense in the direction of Tianyaoling. Political Commissar Jin made arrangements in the secret camp for food and accommodation when the large troops arrived. We had to prepare everything in advance.
It seems that we can't expand more secret camps. We can only pile up snow and branches to temporarily build some. If there are not enough, we have to squeeze in. If you can't lie down, you can sit in it, so as not to freeze.
At the same time, we must also be prepared to retreat to the new secret camp. The important thing is to choose the route of travel first to ensure the traveling speed of the troops when they set off. "
Yu Chenglong immediately made new arrangements anxiously to ensure that he could respond well when danger approached. The situation is critical and there is no need to delay! The three chief officers rushed to arrange and implement it.
