Yu Chenglong was very excited when Aunt Xiao San came out of the mountain and brought back the latest news, especially the fact that she had a son. Yu Chenglong was even more excited. But he can't go home to see it yet, because the team in the mountains still has too many things to do, and he can't get out of it at all.
What's more, going home will also bring unsafe factors to the family, so it is not advisable to go back often. In addition, now he has to lead his team to fight in the mountains. Taking advantage of the fact that winter has not yet entered, Yu Chenglong plans to do something big to further expand the influence of the Holy Path National Salvation Army.
Yu Chenglong expressed his thoughts to Commander Xiao. Of course, it was in a discussion tone, but his attitude was very sincere, which moved Commander Xiao a little. After thinking about it for a while, she happily accepted the task.
"Okay, I'll go back and get ready, and I'll go out tomorrow. I just happened to bring back some delicious food. Let's get together tonight, not only to help me catch the wind and wash away the dust, but also to prepare for me to go out again. Kill two birds with one stone, I asked Staff Officer Jin Let me arrange it.”
Commander Xiao walked out after saying that, she was going to make arrangements herself. Yu Chenglong is not only the commander-in-chief of the team, but also the commander-in-chief of the Holy Way Association. However, Xiao Sanyi no longer serves in the Holy Way Association. She is now the commander-in-chief of the team in the mountains. Most of the time, she directly gives orders.
There were no gatherings in the entire secret camp all winter, and even the Chinese New Year was celebrated in the secret camp. Taking this opportunity, Yu Chenglong also wanted everyone to dig some wild vegetables, and share some of the wine that Monroe sent into the mountains to various brothers, so that the brothers could relax.
On this day, a festive atmosphere echoed in the mountains, and singing and games were organized in each secret camp. Although the food was still very ordinary and even a little shabby, the atmosphere was warm and the brothers were very happy.
The next day, Commander Xiao came out of the mountain, Deputy Commander Fang led people to build a new secret camp, and Chief of Staff Jin led the remaining brothers to continue training. Half a month later, Commander Xiao returned to the mountain and reported that the opportunity had come.
"Fujiang County is located in the south of the Daxingan Mountains, close to Dongmeng. There are relatively few Japanese troops stationed there, but the food supplies in the county are very rich. It can be said to be a relatively wealthy county, because the entire Fujiang County occupies a vast area with sparsely populated areas. Convenient location.
There was only one garrison brigade of the Manchukuo Army, more than 200 people, and a dozen Japanese instructors stationed in the county. They actually controlled the garrison brigade, and all actions were decided by the Japanese, but there were few wars.
The captain of this garrison brigade is called Li Zhongjiang, who was the former lieutenant colonel staff officer of the Northeast Army and was Ma Zhanshan's subordinate in the past. Later, he surrendered to the Japanese with Ma Zhanshan. After Ma Zhanshan pretended to surrender and then turned back, he had no chance to follow him.
The Japanese felt that he was quite loyal and still had some people under his command, so they appointed him as the captain of the Fujiang County Security Brigade. But in the past two years, Ma Zhanshan has led his troops to fight against the Japanese in Southwest Mongolia, and he has become more active.
In his heart, he wanted to rebel against Japan, but he did not have the strength, so he hesitated to do so. His aunt and uncle both joined our Holy Association. Relying on this relationship, I took his uncle to his place and tried to persuade him.
Li Zhongjiang said that he could surrender, but he must keep his team's organization unchanged. After he proposed to surrender, his team's name should be "Northeast Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Li Zhongjiang Independent Brigade", and it should have its own title.
Li Zhongjiang meant to echo Ma Zhanshan's anti-Japanese team to show his innocence. This is understandable, who doesn’t want to have a good reputation, but I didn’t agree to him and said that I have to ask you for instructions. "
Commander Xiao spoke very excitedly, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with such a result. Of course Yu Chenglong was very happy to have such an opportunity, but he still disagreed with Li Zhongjiang's condition of having a separate number.
"What kind of surrender is this? Doesn't this mean we have to go it alone? If this doesn't work, we need to further persuade him. But with this relationship, we can still consider capturing this county. What specific ideas do you and the chief helmsman have?"
Yu Chenglong first agreed to capture Fujiang County, saying that such an opportunity was too good to be missed. But he did not directly express his opinion on how to fight, because he knew that Commander Yang and Commander Xiao must have already made a more mature plan.
"We will also give him a Western expedition, but our team will not come back this winter. We will take the team to the northern mountains. Although it will be colder there in winter, the Japanese will not encircle and suppress him.
Because there were no anti-Japanese armed forces there in the past, the Japanese were not familiar with it, and the weather was extremely cold, the little Japanese would definitely have some scruples. More importantly, there was no road at all.
I estimate that the Japs’ campaign will be even more intense this winter, and it is possible that all the anti-Japanese armed forces will be wiped out in one fell swoop. It will be safer for us to go there, although the conditions there will be more difficult.
As long as we have enough food, it's okay to spend the winter there. Let's pull the team over and follow the original route. It's still very safe. After arriving there, he sent people to build a secret camp and captured Fujiang County. Then he transported food and supplies into the mountains for the winter and came back next spring.
Take whatever you can take with you here, and bury whatever you can't take with you, and use it when you come back next spring. No matter whether Li Zhongjiang agrees to use our name or not, as long as he does not stop us, cooperates with us to take the county seat, and follows us into the mountains, the name matter is not easy to discuss. "
Commander Xiao said a lot in one breath, and it seemed that she had indeed thought it over carefully. After hearing this, Yu Chenglong thought for a while, but he still appreciated Xiao Sanyi's suggestion and felt that this should be a safer and best solution.
Xiao Sanyi has been Yu Chenglong's guide from the beginning. Over the years, Xiao Sanyi has devoted all her efforts to Yu Chenglong's growth. This makes Yu Chenglong grateful from the bottom of his heart, especially because she can always be at the critical moment. Always come up with the most suitable solution.
This time is no exception. Xiao Sanyi's plan is very thoughtful and reasonable for this battle and the team's next direction. This makes Yu Chenglong respect Xiao Sanyi even more. It is a blessing to be protected by Xiao Sanyi in this life. My pleasure!
"Third Aunt's idea is very good, let's do it! Inform the team to get ready, and the team will set off tomorrow afternoon!"
Yu Chenglong happily made the decision, and Xiao Sanyi nodded happily and went to make specific arrangements. Early the next morning, the 'Holy Path National Salvation Army' followed the established route and advanced westward along the mountain ridge.
In order not to cause too much trouble, the team mostly marched at night and sent people to explore the road during the day. It still took more than ten days before they arrived at Beishanli, where they planned to leave the mountain.
Commander Xiao sent people to search for a path out of the mountain, and at the same time he sent people to find a secret camp where he could hide. A few days later, both groups sent out came back and reported their findings.
