Liang Sansi was lucky enough to follow the bandits eastward and successfully escape from the county.
Unfortunately, his health was not as good as that of the bandit soldiers, and he got separated from the bandit soldiers in the dark night.
He ran northward until dawn, finally escaping.
Extremely exhausted, I lay down in the deserted village and slept from dawn to afternoon.
My stomach growled and I finally opened my eyelids.
Looking around, the village was completely silent.
I habitually put my hands in my sleeves and walk carefully in the village.
I wanted to get something to eat, but found that there was no one in the village.
After finding the village office, I finally learned the name of the village from the sign: Donglu Village, Huilong Town, Wei County.
He knew the place Huilong, but he didn't know which direction of the village Huilong Town was now located.
People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will panic.
It's early morning and I haven't touched any rice yet. I haven't even had a sip of water. My throat is smoking and my stomach hurts.
I couldn't find anyone to ask for directions, so I had to go to the village entrance to find a road. You could always find a small town along the road. Although there were no people in the village, the Zhang River in the north probably didn't stop flowing. Many people fled to the area along the river, and they were infected. Money, buying some food will definitely be no problem.
Liang Sansi had been dealing with bandits for a long time and was not familiar with this area. Therefore, he did not take the main road, but walked in a small dry ditch three miles away from the main road.
There are dead shrubs on both sides of the creek, and people can just stand out when walking in it.
As long as the robbers didn't keep staring at the ditch, they wouldn't be able to detect it.
He didn't know if there were any robbers, but he believed that the ship would sail with caution.
Across the Zhanghe River is the territory of the security brigade commander Guo Qing. As long as he reports his identity as an intelligence agent of the imperial army, there should be no problem in buying a bicycle from the security army and returning to the county seat.
It will not fall into the sight of the bandits who rob the road.
Huilong Town.
The town is adjacent to Neihuang County in the south and is under the jurisdiction of the East Asia Alliance Autonomous Army.
The First Journey Haibo Regiment of the Autonomous Army is stationed in the town!
Military camps are stationed at the north and south entrance of the town.
The layout of the town is simple. The main road from south to north leads to the whole town and continues to extend to the south.
Due to its proximity to the Zhang River, refugees from nearby areas who had fled here set up numerous shacks outside the town.
Directly connected to the north and south, it is very lively and has all kinds of shops.
The small town under the jurisdiction of the Autonomous Army was actually peaceful.
Zhennan.
A team hurriedly retreated into the fields away from the road.
Because the land is close to the Zhang River, the crops in the fields are very pleasant.
Hu Yi was dressed as a businessman and walked side by side with Director Lin in front!
Madman Yang, Hou Hou, and Luo Fugui followed closely with swags hanging on their shoulders as guards from a distance of more than 100 meters.
Ma Liang wanted to follow him into the town, but he had to lead a team to support him.
Director Lin introduced the situation to Hu Yi as he walked: "Let's go to Captain Cheng first. He is one of ours."
He has never eaten pork, but has always seen pigs running around. He has some understanding of the work of the district. Hu Yi asked: "This place is very close to the first district. Why is it not classified as the first district?"
Director Lin thought about it for a while. Minister Zhang said that Hu Yi was reliable and there should be no problem telling him about the situation in the plains.
So he lowered his voice: "What I'm going to say next is top secret. The situation in the Autonomous Army is complicated. Army Commander Wang Tianxiang is one of ours. We originally planned to set up a third army division and make him the commander. However, Wang Tianxiang did not agree. He felt that he had penetrated into the enemy's interior. It is more beneficial to our development base.
Deputy Army Commander Cheng Ximeng is a two-faced man, but this guy’s two-facedness has nothing to do with us. He not only defected to the Japanese, but also secretly colluded with Chongqing.”
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that if he hadn't proposed to let the old bandit Qi take the banner of Chongqing, Officer Lin would definitely not have told him these things.
I started thinking about the old bandit Qi. There are ready-made examples now. Director Lin brought me here so that I could learn from the situation here to solve the problem of the Lingqiu Squadron of Nantaihang.
Officer Lin began to answer Hu Yi's previous question: "There are more than 13,000 people in the four brigades and eight regiments of the Autonomous Army. Li Chenghua of the first brigade is leaning towards us. He has two regiments under his command. The commander of the first regiment, Cheng Haibo, is one of ours. The second division division Jianye was a hardcore traitor.
Second Journey Gan was born as a bandit, and his regimental commanders Cheng Kun and Guo Dehui were both hardcore traitors. Brigadier Cheng Qian had a grudge against Guo Qing!
The third journey, Daohe, belonged to the deputy army commander Cheng Ximeng, and his two regiment leaders were Cheng Xinghua and Cheng Daosheng.
The commander of the fourth brigade, Yang Faxian, and the regimental commanders Wang Wenxiang and Lu Jingwen, were from Chongqing.
The military headquarters set up a separate assault regiment, and its leader Zhang Luting was our comrade.
The Japanese arranged a small team in each brigade to serve as supervisors and have economic advisors."
Hu Yi asked: "What do you mean, part of the autonomous army is not under our control?"
"The superiors have also considered eliminating several other forces. If we fight on our own, it will be the Japanese who benefit in the end.
Moreover, one move can affect the whole body, and we are not strong enough, and the autonomous army has not participated in various sweeps, so we have not taken action against them."
Zhennan checkpoint.
The Autonomous Army who set up posts outside the town saw the five Hu Yi people approaching, and immediately raised their hands to warn: "Brothers, remember this, I don't care where you come from, don't make trouble when you enter the town, it's good for everyone." "
Director Lin's identity was kept secret, so Hu Yi took out a piece of paper and handed it to the autonomous army: "Please inform me."
The autonomous army took it and took a look: "Hey, the brigade commander's order? Are you guys?"
"Go quickly"
Not long after, a tall and thin soldier came out behind the autonomous army soldier, his eyes lit up: "Monkey? Why are you here?"
The monkey smiled: "Hello, Captain Cheng, this is our captain Hu Yi!"
After the monkey finished speaking, Cheng Tuan looked up and down at Hu Yi who was standing in front: "Hello, Captain Hu!"
The person who came turned out to be one of his own, and he actually knew the monkey. Hu Yi didn't think much about it: "Hello, Hu Yi!"
The tall and lanky soldier nodded: "Brother Cheng Haibo, let's go to the town first."
Hu Yi stood still and said, "I'll pick you up."
Cheng Haibo smiled and lowered his voice: "The inspection team is talking to the military commander in the camp. The military commander asked me to take you to the town to have something to eat first."
Manager Lin next to him nodded inadvertently, and Hu Yi stretched out his hand: "Please"
The group of people walked into the main street of the town. Cheng Haibo took the lead and turned around and walked into the restaurant next to him. He shouted to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, arrange a table of good food and two bottles of wine. Prepare another table. Prepare two tables for packing."
"Okay. Eight big bowls of the best dishes are served."
"Don't make that soup for me. Find a food box and put it in it."
"Just take a look."
Not pick up time.
There were two tables of guests on the second floor who were still drinking and chatting. When they saw someone coming upstairs, Cheng Haibo, who was walking in front, glared at those guys.
The few who were drinking quickly picked up the leftovers on the table and hurried downstairs.
Saw those guys leaving.
Cheng Haibo then turned around and walked to Hu Yi, extending his hand: "Comrade Hu!"
Hu Yi was stunned, knowing that this person was one of his own, but the real owner, Officer Lin, refused to come forward.
Although he was not used to it, he still reached out his hand and shook it with Captain Cheng.
Captain Cheng didn't seem to know Hu Yi's specific identity. He waved his hands and shouted excitedly in a low voice: "This time, I finally got you here."
The two big men shook their hands. Captain Cheng directly pulled Hu Yi to sit at the table by the window before letting go. Then he let go and invited the others to sit wherever they wanted.
Hu Yi sat beside Cheng Haibo.
Director Lin gave Luo Fugui a hand and sat at another table with two of his subordinates brought by Cheng Haibo.
Hu Yi took the cigarette and put it on his ear: "I don't smoke."
Cheng Haibo didn't mind either, and spoke in a very affectionate tone: "Captain Hu, don't be so arrogant. The people here are all our own people. I know it's not easy for you all in the mountains. It's rare for you to come out. I'll treat you to a good meal." "
I didn't expect that the other party wanted to invite him to dinner. He looked at Director Lin and nodded. Hu Yi didn't say much and had to sit down.
Captain Cheng smiled bitterly: "I'm a rough guy with no culture. The regiment is a mixed bag, so I won't take you to the regiment headquarters. Don't mind. Most of the people under my command are bandits and hooligans. They may be there at any time. If you rebel, even our brigade commander will have to compromise."
Hu Yi nodded: "Didn't your superiors send you someone?"
Commander Cheng sighed: "It has been more than half a year since we organized the bandits into an army, but there is a serious shortage of grassroots commanders. Fortunately, one division has transferred more than 60 grassroots backbones from the main regiment to prepare to supplement our brigade as grassroots commanders. This time As soon as the trainees are replenished, we can do a major overhaul. We really can't afford to bother you when we train them."
Hu Yi next to him was stunned, and finally figured out what was going on with the students this time!
In Hu Yi's view, fighting means finding the enemy and destroying it.
However, the situation on the plains is not a simple relationship between ourselves and the enemy at all.
So, when Director Lin asked him to come forward, did he ask him to learn from the practices of the Autonomous Army, or did he ask him to take the lead because he proposed a plan?
