Commander Fang Tianzhu expressed his judgment sincerely, which made Yu Chenglong feel the same way. Yes, facing a strong enemy, head-on confrontation is not enough. You need to seriously clear your mind.
"I also think we should think of a countermeasure. It's not good for the team to hide in the mountains all the time. How can we withstand the hundreds of thousands of Japanese who take turns entering the mountains to encircle and suppress us? Sooner or later they will be discovered, and by then it will be too late to think about it.
But nothing has happened yet, the team is still safe, and we still have time to make long-term plans. Commander Fang, you might as well tell me what your plans are. I admire your courage and hope to get your help and guidance. "
Yu Chenglong felt that what Commander Fang Tianzhu said was very reasonable. The current situation could no longer lead to a head-on confrontation with the Japs, but Yu Chenglong couldn't come up with a better solution as to what should be done. He wanted to hear Commander Fang Tianzhu's opinion.
“On the one hand, the Japanese army stepped up their encirclement and suppression campaign, and on the other hand, they intensified their efforts to recruit and surrender. Some sporadic teams of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were forced to surrender, but they were not massacred. This provided the possibility of a curved war of resistance.
In order to preserve our strength, the Provincial Party Committee asked us to integrate the remaining troops, cross the border to the Soviet Union, and then fight back when the time is right to survive this most difficult period. I think this is also a way out. I wonder what Commander Yu thinks? "
Commander Fang Tianzhu stated his plan, which was to transfer to the Soviet Union in accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Party Committee, wait for the opportunity, and then come back to fight the Japanese.
"Is there no other way out?"
Yu Chenglong continued to ask. He felt that the Manchurian National Salvation Army had no conditions to go to the Soviet Union, but at the moment he could not fight against the Japs, but if this continued for a long time, there would be no other way out, which made Yu Chenglong very entangled.
"Other than that, you can pretend to surrender to the Japanese and wait for an opportunity before rebelling. This path seems to be more suitable for you at the moment."
Commander Fang Tianzhu solemnly stated that he felt that if he wanted to keep this team, he had to temporarily surrender to the Japanese to gain a chance to breathe, and then wait for the conditions to mature before pulling them out to continue the fight against Japan.
"I also think that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us, but it is difficult to surrender to the Japanese. This can easily cause misunderstandings among brothers and ordinary people."
Yu Chenglong seemed very embarrassed. He knew that doing so would definitely cause misunderstandings and most of the brothers would not agree. At the same time, it would not be good for his reputation and he would be reviled by the common people.
"If we want to keep this team, this is probably the only way out now. Otherwise, we will defect to the Anti-Japanese Alliance again, go to the Soviet Union with us to hide, and wait for the opportunity to fight back.
But this is also difficult. It's hard to say whether the Soviet Union can take you in. Besides, so many people can't escape. Japan has many troops stationed along the border. It's hard for so many people to move without being discovered. "
Commander Fang Tianzhu answered affirmatively. He was a straightforward person and his suggestions came from the bottom of his heart. This moved Yu Chenglong very much. He didn't expect that Commander Fang Tianzhu could ignore past grudges and sincerely consider his brothers.
"Since Commander Fang thinks so, I think we can consider it. But not now, we have to strive to have enough capital before we can bargain with the Japanese and keep this team intact.
Crossing the border to the Soviet Union was certainly a good way out, but contacting and preparing would take a long time, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it in time. Now the little devil is constantly searching the mountains, I'm afraid he will be discovered soon."
Of course, Yu Chenglong was hesitant. Whether it was to fake surrender or to go to the Soviet Union, the conditions were not quite met, not to mention that it was not in line with his original intention, but there was nothing he could do, the situation forced him!
"Crossing the border to the Soviet Union is also very troublesome, but I can find a way, but the condition is that you must be a member of the Anti-Union team. Although it will take a long time to contact you, this is a bright way out.
I suggest you make two preparations. I will find a way to contact the organization now to strive for a good result. But for now, it is better to choose the roundabout strategy of fake surrender first, as soldiers are not tired of deceit.
Once I have established contact with the Soviet Union, we will look for an opportunity to cross the border. Now we can wait for the winter and wait until spring next year to determine the situation. "
Commander Fang Tianzhu has been in a bad mood for some time. The setbacks he experienced made him very worried about Jackie Chan's team. After all, they were all anti-Japanese teams, so he told all his thoughts.
"Originally, Political Commissar Qin and I planned to get together with you and go to the Soviet Union together, but we didn't expect that we were targeted by the Japs and the whole team was wiped out. Thanks to you for saving me, what I am saying now is all nonsense. For your own good!"
"I understand Commander Fang's intentions. Please don't worry too much. I will seriously consider your suggestions. You can disclose your suggestions to the chief helmsman and Commander Xiao first, so that they can also think about it seriously. After all, this is what determines the future of the team. and the great question of destiny.”
After Yu Chenglong asked Commander Fang Tianzhu to have a good rest, he went to do other things. Although there was no final result from this exchange, it left a lasting impression in Jackie Chan's mind and may change his original intention.
Because the issue of the way out for the Manchurian National Salvation Army has been deeply troubled by Yu Chenglong recently. He knows that there is no way out if he persists, but where is the way out? He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh!
A few days later, Commander Fang Tianzhu once again had a long talk with Yu Chenglong. The central meaning is that I hope that Jackie Chan will see the situation clearly and do everything possible to keep this team intact.
You can't fight the Japanese devils head-on, and you can't hide in the mountains for a long time. You should come up with a sound strategy as soon as possible and make a decision early, otherwise it will be too late! Yu Chenglong once again stated that he would have in-depth discussions with the generals and strive to make an early decision.
Winter is approaching, and the people who were sent out to contact the chief helmsman brought back a handwritten letter from chief helmsman Yang Furen. After reading it, Yu Chenglong decided to let Commander Xiao take Captain Ma Liben and others out of the mountain in person.
Yu Chenglong personally led people to escort Commander Xiao and others out of the mountain to an outpost secret camp they originally built. Yu Chenglong said goodbye to Commander Xiao and said that around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the new year, he would lead people here to welcome Commander Xiao into the mountain.
The two exchanged some words with each other before breaking up. Commander Xiao went out, and Yu Chenglong took the people back to the secret camp. Yu Chenglong had his own purpose in sending Xiao Sanyi out again this time, which was to prepare for the future of the Manchurian National Salvation Army.
There were no accidents throughout the winter, and the Manchurian National Salvation Army spent a relatively peaceful winter. Although I was still cautious, I was thankful that nothing happened.
Just after the New Year, Yu Chenglong asked the team to continue to hide and standby, while he and Commander Fang Tianzhu took more than 20 brothers to the outpost secret camp to prepare to welcome Commander Xiao Dongxue who had been away for a winter.
The weather is still surprisingly cold and spring is far from here. Yu Chenglong arrived at the meeting place as scheduled. He very much hoped to see Commander-in-Chief Xiao soon, and he even hoped that she could bring good news.
