Sun Youshang walked into the headquarters with a beard covering his face, dusty eyes and bloodshot eyes.
Su Qing, who was writing something on the paper, closed a new book and said: "Why are you back so soon?"
After saying that, he picked up the small thermos bottle on the table, turned over a new cup on the table, filled it with water and pushed it to Sun Youshang.
Sun Youshang's eyes were filled with disappointment and helplessness: "I went to the county government this time, but County Magistrate Yang said that now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating, our Eighth Route Army has publicly promised not to attack the local tyrants to allocate their fields. It is also difficult for him there, and now it is established coalition government, so he would never dare to make such a remark!"
"We are poor here and there are no big landowners. How can we not attack the local tycoons?" Su Qing asked in surprise.
"The key is that he won't even let us do the work of reducing rent and interest rates!" Sun Youshang said with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Forget it, in that case, in order to respond to the call from the division, we have to lead the masses to reclaim as much wasteland as possible before winter comes, and then distribute the reclaimed wasteland to the masses, and try to grow more wheat... .”
"But, Mr. Su, you don't know that the anti-Japanese county government in the north is not like the National Army at all. I feel that County Magistrate Yang is not very supportive of us. Look, this time has passed. For half a month, he didn’t even send a working team!”
"The situation here is very good now. There is a famine in the plains in the south. I heard that many people have died of starvation. We must prepare in advance! Try to save as much food as possible!"
"We are fine here, but the situation in the village where the county government is stationed is not good either. There are even regulations on water use because of the lack of water!"
"Huh? Water makes rules...what rules?"
"Because of the lack of water in the plains, you can only use a towel dipped in water to wipe your face, and then wipe your body with a rag. Try not to wash your feet if you can!"
With a puff, Su Qing, who was drinking from a cup, couldn't hold back a mouthful of water and spurted it out.
"Hey, let me tell you, according to County Magistrate Yang's rules, your behavior must receive ideological education!"
"County Magistrate Yang...what's his name?"
"Yang Deshi...it is said that he was sent from the division. I really don't know that this living treasure does not want to fight the Japanese, but instead makes rules all day long. However, the theoretical level of County Magistrate Yang is really not low!" Sun Youshang said to him. The county magistrate was not impressed.
Su Qing was stunned: Yang Deshi?
Seeing that Su Qing was in a daze, Sun Youshang waved his hand in front of Su Qing: "Sister Su, do you know her?"
"Are you fair and fair, wearing glasses, and always speaking... to show that you are well-educated?"
"Do you really know him? I just can't stand how he always puts on a lousy look like he's a hero. How could you know such a thing? I see... He's far worse than Brother Hu!" Sun Youshang said in front of the enemy I have stayed in the nest for a long time, and although I am smooth in dealing with things, I am still young. This time I was scolded when I went to the county government to ask for policies, and I felt unhappy.
When he was commenting on someone behind his back like this, he suddenly felt that what he said was wrong. Even though he was very familiar with Director Su, he quickly added: "Hey, this is not what I said. This is what the Public Security Bureau Chief Zhang Yi said!"
"No, I have to go to the county anti-Japanese coalition government." Su Qing didn't take his change of attitude seriously, put down his pen and made a sudden decision.
"This can't be done. I think... we should wait until Company Commander Hu comes back. This matter is really weird. Confirming the common people's ownership of these lands in the name of the people's government is an order from the division's political commissar. I really don't know what the county government is doing. Why don't you give us instructions?" Sun Youshang was confused.
Su Qing frowned and said: "What we people want most is land. If we cannot guarantee farmers' ownership of the land here, then how can we get 100% support from these villages?"
"Yes! The people in our defense area sincerely support the Eighth Route Army People's Government. We can't be dogmatic just because the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate, right?"
Su Qing suddenly remembered something: "I have a question for you. Someone from Shandi Village in the north sent someone to contact us. Do you know what's going on?"
Sun Youshang thought for a while: "Oh, that is an armed force organized by young farmers organized by the anti-Japanese government! The purpose is also to protect their homeland! The development situation there is better than ours, they have dug a lot of tunnels underground!"
Su Qing frowned: "Authentic?"
Sun Youshang saw Su Qing and asked, and he really knew about this: "It is said that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded the south. The anti-Jin hero Yue Fei and his teacher Zong Ze fought against the Jin soldiers in Shandi Village. The Jin soldiers were good at riding and shooting. In order to protect themselves, the general Zongze of the Song Dynasty called on the villagers at the bottom of the mountain to dig nearly a hundred "anti-gold caves" underground in the village, which effectively defended against the invasion of the Jin soldiers at that time. Now that the Japanese invaders have come, they have naturally established an anti-Japanese cave. Armed forces use tunnels to fight against invaders."
"What's the purpose of the tunnel? The Japanese will block the entrance and exit, and everyone will starve to death inside?"
"I don't know the specific situation."
"They sent a message through the supplementary group, asking our team to send someone over to contact us. It seems that they don't know the actual situation of the security group." Su Qing is a bit big-headed. In such a large area, there are not enough manpower. We still have to send someone to contact the north.
"I don't think we can tell them the actual situation here. We are now using the guise of a security group, and our main task is to ensure the smooth flow of supplies from the division into the mountains. However, we can contact them and they can also enter the mountains. , the road is easier to walk, but the devils are more guarded over there!"
Su Qing changed the subject: "The situation is special now. Please keep the situation here confidential! This way, there will be two channels for materials to enter the mountain, which is safer. We will talk about this later. Also, there is a letter from Zhangjiu. A batch of food will be shipped back in a few days, let us arrange for people to pick it up!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!" Sun Youshang stood up.
"Report!" A soldier ran into the compound in a panic and shouted as soon as he entered the door.
The soldier ran into the house and saw Sun Youshang and Su Qing there. He quickly panted and reported: "A large number of unidentified teams appeared in the ravine to the north. They have passed the pass behind the mountain village. Instructor Park led a platoon of people first. It’s over!”
When Sun Youshang heard this, he was immediately stunned. He didn't expect that someone would appear within five miles of the station. When he got the news, he immediately got angry: "What are you doing? How come people didn't notice the movement until they almost entered the village?"
Su Qing, who had always been calm, was also surprised and subconsciously asked: "Where are the people in Chen Chong's platoon?"
"They are training outside the village. Instructor Park has sent someone to notify them to assemble. It is estimated that the assembly will be completed in ten minutes!" The soldier took a breath and added what Instructor Park told him to the time required for his usual training and assembly. judge.
"Is there any news coming from other directions?" Sun Youshang asked immediately.
"No news has been received yet." The soldier was stunned for a moment: "There are more people arranged in other directions. As long as someone crosses the blockade ditch in the east, we can get news. In the mountains...if a team appears, they will send people to notify them in advance. , even if you come, you must be one of your own, right?"
Su Qing immediately calmed down after asking, subconsciously stood up and walked to the map that Commander Gou had hung on the wall.
Sun Bushang hurriedly followed. Neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Not long after, Chen Chong trotted into the headquarters: "Commander Sun, Director Su, we have to move immediately!"
Sun Youshang turned his head and asked immediately: "Have you figured out who is here?"
"I'm not sure. Pu Buhuan sent someone to send a message, saying that the condition of the people who came is unknown. Judging from the military uniforms, they should all be security forces. There are estimated to be six or seven hundred! They came from the ravine behind."
"Didn't there be sentries in the back mountain? Why did we get the news now?" Su Qing was a little angry.
"This matter...now...I don't know..." Chen Chong blushed. He and Park Buhuan arranged the security guard together.
"Commander Sun, you immediately organize the people to move to the mountains. Chen Chong, you immediately bring reinforcements to Pu Buhuan to stop the attack. The enemy cannot be allowed out of the ravine for at least an hour." Su Qing did not intend to listen to these two men talking about trivial matters.
"Yes!" Chen Chong saluted, turned around and ran away.
To be honest, Su Qing didn't understand the map that Hu Yi had marked very well, but it didn't prevent her from making judgments on the current situation.
Move the enemy as soon as they come. This has been done countless times in the Independent Regiment. Su Qing just gave the order subconsciously.
Commander Sun next to him has a black line on his head. I am the commander, okay? However, he did not question Su Qing's order. To put it bluntly, he first stayed in the security regiment and did intelligence work. As for his true level of commanding combat, he was self-aware.
After a while, Su Qing realized that he seemed a bit reckless in giving orders. After all, Sun Youshang was the real commander.
Just as he was about to speak again, Sun Youshang had already gone out, preparing to recruit people to arrange the transfer of the people.
