At noon, Ma Liang returned to Shawo Village and went directly to Hu Yi, who was talking to Battalion Commander Geng and others, to report the situation: "The people in the work team have been following the bandits. The bandits barely rested along the way north. Look at them like that Zi should be planning to withdraw directly to Huang County.
The work team sent people to negotiate with the puppet troops. They went to Pu County together, saying they wanted to rescue some comrades imprisoned in Pu County.
There are no artillery towers in this area, and the news coming from Zhaozhuang Village is lagging behind. At present, it is only known that the friendly troops have gone north to the Autonomous Army Defense Area, and only Gao Yidao is left in Zhaozhuang Village to confront the Japanese and puppet troops. "
Hu Yi nodded: "Continue reconnaissance!"
Ma Liang turned around and went out.
As soon as he left the hospital, he was stopped by Xiao Zhuer: "Hey, stop!"
Ma Liang stopped: "I still have to check the status of the sentry, if you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Xiao Hongying, who had a bandage on her head, lowered her voice: "Do you think the puppet army is really willing to cooperate with the work team?"
Ma was stunned for a moment: "Of course, but I heard from the people in the work team that the leader of the puppet army put forward conditions. Why do you ask?"
Xiao Hongying was a little discouraged: "What a pity."
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment: "What's a pity?"
"There are only two to three hundred puppet troops in Pu County, and there are no more than a small group of Japanese soldiers. If we can attack the county town, how much contribution will we make?"
"Hit the county seat? You're not crazy, are you?" Ma Liang deliberately reached out to touch the girl's forehead: "Meritorious service? Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"
Xiao Hongying pushed Ma Liang's hand away: "If we make a few more contributions, our ninth battalion can mention it again!"
Ma Liang was speechless and curled his lips: "We have just been promoted to the battalion. Do you still want to be promoted? To the regiment? To the brigade?"
"You know nothing, don't you know our rules about marriage?"
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses immediately: "Get married? You mean... Let the battalion commander be promoted to the regiment level?"
"Assuming that you are wise, even if you really add a long one after the regimental staff, it will still be regarded as the regiment level. Do you understand?"
"How is that possible? Don't you know that the company commander was promoted to battalion commander after intense discussions in the division political department?"
"You are the only one who has a lot of gossip! The regiment leader is having a heated fight with Song Xiaoci, and the political commissar has been looking for the guerrilla leader all day long..."
"Hey... don't talk behind people's backs. Besides, the battalion commander is not even a party member now, so he doesn't comply with any of the rules!"
"That's what you said. Our independent regiment is really poor. Apart from Lao Qin, Lao Meng and Su Qing, our battalion doesn't even have a single party member. If we look for an introducer, we can't find anyone other than the three of them!"
"Isn't Lao Zhou also a party member?" Ma Liang frowned, and then puffed up his chest: "Hey, Lao Qin is the introducer of Tian Sanqi and I. It is estimated that in half a year, I can become an official party member."
"I'm so sorry for you, do you still want to be the fox's introducer?"
"Ah?" Ma Liang was stunned. Yes, Lao Qin had introduced him and Tian Sanqi to join the party, but no one had ever mentioned introducing Hu Yi to join the party!
There is no regiment leader, and there is no political commissar!
Ma Liang's mind was buzzing, and he discovered the key to the problem. In the Eighth Route Army, if a commander is not a party member, it is absolutely impossible to become a regiment-level cadre!
Although this kind of exception is not unheard of, I have heard of it, but I have never seen it!
Even Hu Yi, the current battalion commander...according to regulations, shouldn't show up!
Ma Liang thought for a long time: "I think participating in the Anti-Japanese University study this time is a good opportunity to join the party!"
"You should take this matter to heart and don't talk nonsense."
"Why am I talking nonsense...uh...who do you think the battalion commander will marry?"
"How would I know?"
"It's either Director Su or Dr. Zhou. It won't be you anyway!" Ma Liang rolled his eyes.
While the two were talking, a soldier hurried over with a young man and said hello to Ma Liang: "This is the division correspondent. He said there is an emergency!"
After saying that, the two ran straight into the yard.
As soon as the soldier entered the room, he looked at Geng Ting: "Report to Battalion Commander Geng, urgent order for the division."
Geng Ting took the note handed over by the correspondent and unfolded it. There were not many words on it:
The various departments of the Independent Regiment: The enemy and puppets are sweeping south of Taihang in a large scale, and all the departments are quickly returning to their posts!
Geng Ting handed the note to Hu Yi next to him.
Hu Yi took it and read the words clearly at a glance, and immediately turned to look at Battalion Commander Geng: "The puppet troops have just swept through the plains. The Japanese troops are short of strength during this period. They can't make any big moves. I believe you can handle it." , we have to prepare to go back!"
Battalion Commander Geng shook his head: "I suggest you rest here for two days, and wait until the conditions of the lightly wounded get better before going back."
Hu Yi shook his head: "Supplies are not easy here, and even water is difficult. We have severely damaged Wang Taigong's gang of bandits this time, and we have basically completed the task. If you stay here any longer, it will only increase your burden. Besides, the current situation in the mountains is also difficult. not optimistic."
"But you have so many wounded people now, it will be very risky when crossing the enemy's blockade." Battalion Commander Geng was a little worried: "How about... you leave the wounded behind first, and then return to the team after they recover?"
...
After dark.
The Ninth Battalion, which had just rested for a day, once again set foot on the road to the west.
This time Hu Yi only left behind soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move, and all the lightly injured soldiers returned with the team.
There were two more carriages in the team.
On one of them lay Bandit Qi.
This guy is determined not to go to the zone to recuperate.
Xiao Hongying walked beside the carriage: "Uncle Qi, how did you meet the fox?"
Old Bandit Qi was not used to being called uncle by the girl. He moved his closed eyes but said nothing.
"Since Hu? You know Battalion Commander Hu? Then you were also a soldier of the national army before?"
Old Bandit Qi simply snored.
"Then can you tell me how you came to vote for the Japs and become traitors?"
Being messed around by this girl, Mr. Qi was even speechless.
"Do you know what happened to Camp Commander Hu?"
Qi Lao Qi continued to pretend to be dead.
The fierce girl dropped a bomb: "Actually, I think you must have had to suffer... hardships if you surrendered to the Japanese!"
These words sounded pleasant to the ears, and Old Bandit Qi's snoring became much quieter.
The girl kept muttering: "Many of our intelligence officers have penetrated into the enemy's interior. So, those who work for the Japanese are not necessarily traitors, don't you think so?"
"Hey, let me tell you...have you ever killed a Japanese?"
Old Bandit Qi still remained silent, and the pigtail seemed to be finally disappointed: "It seems that you have never killed even a Japs... I guess you were scared out of your wits when you saw the Japs. Let me tell you, this is also It’s not a shame, our recruits are like this when they go to the battlefield, many recruits have to change their pants after the battle, do you know why?”
"Because they peed their pants, hahaha..."
Old Bandit Qi felt so aggrieved that he finally opened his eyes: "You bastard, can you please stop whispering in my ear?"
"I thought you were mute!" The little braid stared with big, clear and innocent eyes.
Remembering that this girl had spoken to him a few days ago, Old Bandit Qi was about to get mad: "What the hell do I care about you, you bastard?"
The girl looked curious: "That's not what I meant. I heard from He Gensheng that your injury doesn't seem to be serious. I can talk to you to relieve your boredom, so maybe the injury can heal faster!"
The old gangster Qi has a black streak in his head. I was shot in the chest by you and almost met the King of Hell. Can you tell me whether the injury was serious?
Seeing that Old Bandit Qi remained silent again, the pigtail's tone became sincere: "By the way...this time, even if you don't speak, I will never treat you as mute!"
"Hey, let me tell you, did you see Ba Lu... peed his pants?"
Old Bandit Qi was really mad, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
