Autumn quietly takes away the colorful look of summer. The rising sun is like the shortest resurrection of late summer, rising into the sky and continuing to radiate heat.
The people in the mountains have long been accustomed to this alternation of seasons, and have finally bid farewell to the dry season, hoping that the change of seasons will take away all the unsatisfactory conditions.
Twenty miles west of the blockade and ten miles south of the security team's station, Director Zhang stood on the north road of a village with red eyes, looking at the plain with a little mist, and his mood improved a lot.
Not because of the season, but because he ran into an old acquaintance.
In the distance, a middle-aged man and two young people were walking quickly towards this village with some fireworks.
Zhang Yi smiled, strode forward, and stretched out his hands: "I said, why did you come here?"
"Old Zhang! I didn't expect you to come here in person!" Zeng Nansheng was not surprised. He was notified by the correspondent and rushed over at dawn.
"Oh, we haven't seen each other for a while, right? I thought you joined the work team and got a lot taller and didn't recognize me anymore. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be here too!"
Putting aside his joy of seeing his old friend, Zeng Nansheng's expression returned to calm.
Director Zhang knew that the situation shouldn't be the worst, so there was no need to worry anymore.
"Uh...why didn't your county brigade come?" Zeng Nansheng was a little confused.
"The county brigade... they... have other tasks. It seems that you are not in a big hurry. You even sent someone to tell me so anxiously. I really thought you had made a loophole in the sky." Zhang Yi It's a little embarrassing and it's hard to talk to the county government.
Zeng Nansheng frowned slightly: "Things are a bit complicated. We finally integrated the security team named Gou, but we didn't expect that even our old home has been taken over by bandits. It's embarrassing for grandma's house!"
"Hey, your correspondent is the half-assed security force named Guo. Aren't they always in the east? How could they come here in such a big circle?
"Logically speaking, everyone is trying to survive in troubled times. They didn't take the main road when they came here. They clearly wanted to sneak over and catch us all! But...it's not like ordinary bandits who would first send spies to inquire about the situation before taking advantage of them. It’s weird to carry out a sneak attack at night and steal a small road with great fanfare!”
Let me see, this matter must have something to do with that guy Xu Jinsheng. You see, he must know the relationship between the security group and our Eighth Route Army, so he deliberately prevented the person named Guo from passing through his defense area, making it clear to us that he had nothing to do with him. ! If something really happened, it would be best to let go of the relationship.
Zeng Nansheng thought for a while, then nodded: "What you said makes sense."
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "How about the loss?"
"The loss of personnel is not big. The people nearby did not know our origins at first. However, we still have food for the winter on the mountain stronghold. There is no way to move it. We have left a platoon of soldiers to guard the stronghold. Now the stronghold is occupied by bandits. Surrounded by everyone."
"Your fortress is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Maybe the bandits can't do anything about it, right?"
"Our people just came back before dawn and said that the bandits did not attack. However, this is actually worrying."
Director Zhang waved his hand suddenly, feeling that everything was under control: "Isn't it a good thing that the security army didn't attack? Then what are you worried about? Let's go there and cooperate with the reinforcements from the reinforcement group to hit his surnamed Guo. Falling flowers and running water!"
"It's not that simple. I guess these security forces are planning to occupy this place for a long time and won't leave." Zeng Nansheng said his guess.
"Hey, if he wants to stay here and not leave, they can't help him!"
"Don't talk nonsense. The guy named Guo and the guy named Xu must be wearing the same pair of pants this time. The guy named Guo claims to have two to three thousand people. What do you think you can do to them with your small arms and legs now?" Although the personnel There was no loss, but the base area was occupied. It would be embarrassing if word spread about it, and Zeng Nansheng felt helpless.
"That group of bandits dare to fight against us. I'm really tired of living. I'll deal with them sooner or later." Zhang Yi knew how much he weighed, so he had to comfort Zeng Nansheng.
Zeng Nansheng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yi: "Hey, you are really there, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue when you talk big? In addition to arresting a few spies, when did your public security team dare to compete with the security forces?"
"Hey, do you think you can talk like that? Your home has been taken away by the security forces, so what are you talking about?"
"Then why are you bragging? You can't even move a county brigade! You, the director, are pretty good at it!"
"What does it mean to be unable to move? If it weren't for Yang... Dede, let's stop gossiping and talk about the current situation quickly."
"Six to seven hundred people from the security forces came. They occupied our camp last night and surrounded the village. They also surrounded several nearby villages at night. They searched from house to house and even issued a message to ask nearby villagers to have their heads slaughtered. Hand over food.”
"Where's Commander Sun?"
"He led the people in the village to move into the mountains."
"Then what are your plans now?"
"If the security forces leave, hey, good luck to them. If they dare to stay here, this time I will make them shed their skin even if they don't die!"
"Blow, blow hard, you've lost your nest, and now you don't even have a hair on your head, and you still say those useless things are of no use!"
"We also sent people to the independent group, and they will probably come tonight!"
"The Independent Group? They are coming further over there... uh... no, what did you say? They will come tonight? Could it be that the Independent Group has already come out?"
"Isn't that right? Didn't Captain Liu tell you?" Zeng Nansheng thought for a while and felt that although the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment had been in the plains for so long, necessary confidentiality measures were still required. However, Director Zhang was originally responsible for intelligence, so no You probably don’t know the details of Jiulian.
Then, there is only one possibility. He must know that there are friendly forces in the south, but he resisted and did not inquire about the ninth company in the south.
The Ninth Company came out to be mixed with the armed work force, which was classified as top secret!
However, if anyone stays with the Ninth Company for a long time, he will find that those big mouths are always ready to make trouble, and sometimes even he will feel that they are actually the detective team!
One by one, they go out to ride horses and bikes, and get three meals a day!
They even turned a blind eye to the division's proposal to replace three meals with two meals entirely due to lack of food!
"It seems that he mentioned it during a casual chat once, and when I asked him about it later, he refused to say anything. He also said that it was related to the work team and should be kept secret!"
"This matter really needs to be kept secret. I don't think it's because he didn't tell you on purpose! It's because your police department is in charge of public security intelligence. There are also many people in their county brigade who talk a lot. Now it's a democratic government. If one of them knows less, more people will know." Not at all safe!"
"I really don't know why my superiors agreed to form a coalition government with those reactionaries!" Zhang Yi was dissatisfied with the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and working with his former enemies to establish a coalition government behind enemy lines. In front of his old friends, he finally told what he was brooding about. .
Bang... far to the north, a gunshot suddenly sounded.
"Come on, let's go take a look." Director Zhang narrowed his big eyes and turned to look in the direction of the gunfire. The forest in the distance to the north blocked his view.
Zeng Nansheng frowned and shook his head: "We have people over there. It is probably the security forces who are searching for us. We should not be exposed now. We will study a plan when reinforcements arrive!"
"Are you too cautious? This place is so big and so far away from your station. Even if there are security forces, there will definitely not be many of them. If we encounter our comrades who are being pursued by the security forces, even though we don't have many people, But we still have the ability to attack a peripheral search unit of the security army in broad daylight, right?"
