Chapter 3 Zongheng (Part 2)

Not allowing those who have helped him to suffer losses is Red Beard's consistent principle in doing things. Although he is not able to compensate Peng Xuewen now, since he said that he would work hard to do it. Zhang Songling has always believed that although he has not been dating Red Beard for very long.

"You joined the Communist Party when you were studying, did you?" Lao Yu from the Military Intelligence Bureau was very puzzled by Zhang Songling's reaction. He found an opportunity to get along with the latter on the way and asked in a low voice.

"No." Zhang Songling was asked inexplicably, turned his head and looked at Lao Yu's eyes in surprise, "Have you ever told you that Peng Xuewen almost went to Nanjing with him, and then I was ambushed by a traitor. I got separated from him while running for his life, and then I accidentally joined Lao Twenty-sixth Route."

Peng Xuewen did explain to several of his confidants about the past between him and Zhang Songling. At this moment, Zhang Songling personally confirmed it again. Of course, Lao Yu would not suspect that there was a falsehood. After thinking about it, he continued to ask, "When did you join the Communist Party? On the 26th Route, or when you were recuperating in the mountains."

"No, why do you always think I am a Communist Party? I didn't join at all." Zhang Songling shook his head and answered very frankly, "I don't know the concept of the Communist Party at all. How could I join them? Besides, the 26th Route fought with the Communist Party to the death. How could I tolerate the activities of Communists in the team? It was the Kuomintang. Originally, Commander Feng Anbang said he wanted to lead me in the game, but later he was too busy with the war. Before he could make time, I was already in a field hospital and then separated from the large army."

This is the first time Lao Yu heard about this detail. Thinking about Zhang Songling's promotion speed in the 26th Route Army, it is not impossible for him to have a general to be the leader of his joining the Kuomintang. However, this made him increasingly unable to understand Zhang Songling's trust in Red Beard. Both sides have neither common belief nor common interests, and even their life experiences are very different. In his opinion, people like Zhang Songling who have read many books and have a rich family background should be disdainful to Red Beard. How could he meet him a few times in a hurry and follow him like a moth to the flame?

"Then why do you believe whatever he says?" Thinking about the image of the guerrillas he had seen with his own eyes, the questioning came out from Lao Yu's mouth. There were less than one company's troops, and many of them were lightly injured. They also said that they wanted to help Commissioner Peng gain a foothold here. What kind of help he uses? He didn't have any real money in his hand. Who would listen to him speak nonsense?

"So you heard it just now." Zhang Songling finally understood what the other party was suspicious and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Your ears are so smart that you can hear them from such a distance."

"I was originally a telecommunications monitor. Can't my ears work? Besides, the loud voices of you two were just now, and it was not easy for me to not hear them." Lao Yu, the Military Commander, blushed and stood up to defend himself with his neck.

"Fortunately, I didn't say bad things about you Commissioner Peng just now." Zhang Songling smiled and did not continue to get entangled in the matter of being eavesdropped. "Tell me the truth. Before seeing Red Beard, I had dealt with many Communists, but none of them made me admire him so much. As for joining the guerrillas, it was because the captain here was Red Beard, not because I had any special beliefs. In fact, until now, I still know nothing about the Communist Party's concept."

"This" Lao Yu blinked his eyes and stopped talking. He still couldn't understand Zhang Songling's choice, but he faintly felt something, as if it was a thin layer of window paper. As long as it was pierced, he could see everything on the other side clearly. Not only could it explain why Zhang Songling did not do a good lieutenant colonel officer, but he ran to the place outside the Great Wall where birds did not shit and joined the Communist guerrillas. Even the reason why the Kuomintang's reputation among the people has been further and further away by the Communist Party in recent times can be revealed clearly.

However, this layer of window paper is extremely tough, making it impossible for him to understand it in a short period of time no matter how much effort he has to do to figure it out.

If you can't understand it thoroughly, it means that the efforts made are not enough. As a backbone of the Beiping Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Lao Yu, who is very bookish, believes that he will be able to open this thin layer of window paper by himself one day. Before that, having multiple angles and all-round contact with the Communists is a necessary accumulation process, including going deep into the other party's grassroots and fully exploring every detail.

To report the purpose of gaining insight into the future opponents, Lao Yu stayed in the guerrilla camp for three days. On the fourth day, he repaired the field radio station that was not severely damaged in front of the deputy captain Lu Feng and Zhang Songling, and pointed out Zhang Songling step by step, and sent the first radio wave to Heishizhai with a simple commercial password agreed in advance. "This is the Lamagou guerrillas. Our troops have already rushed to your troops at night. Please introduce the situation of the enemy outside the city."

"This is the Independent Battalion of the 211th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army. Your troops have arrived outside the city and are stationed in Dayandun. The enemy has just crossed the Dahuang River and is still one day and one night away from Heishi Village. The specific scale is still under investigation." Soon, Heishi Village sent back a response message, which caused the guerrillas watching the fun around the radio to cheer.

"The battery can be used for a while. If you can't find a new battery to replace it, you can try to use fine salt powder to extend its service life." While putting away the house, Lao Yu introduced loudly.

"Thank you, thank you so much, thank you so much." Deputy Captain Lu Feng was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He held Lao Yu's hand and said the thanks over and over again.

A complete radio station is of great significance to the guerrillas. Through it, the guerrillas can not only communicate with Zhou Hei Tan's troops in time, and deal with the joint counterattack between the Japanese devils and the White Russian bandits, but also directly contact the superior units, listen to the guidance of the superiors, and report the situation here in a timely manner. Before this, the connection between the guerrillas and the superior military sub-district was completely passed on by the traffic officers on horseback. Not only did they spend a lot of time on the way, but the safety of the letters and the traffic officers themselves could not be reliable guaranteed.

"Since the radio station is already available, let's take it to meet Captain Wang quickly." Zhang Songling didn't understand the previous embarrassment of the guerrillas, so the excitement in his heart was not as strong as others. Soon, his mind calmed down and turned his attention back to the current war. "In theory, the White Russian bandits should have been killed in the city of Heishizhai. Why did they drag it until now to cross the river? Captain Wang and the others did not enter the city, but instead stationed the team near Dayandun. What is the reason? Although the terrain there is high, there is no cover everywhere. The wind is so cold at night, so life must be very sad for brothers."

After hearing Zhang Songling's solemn statement, Vice Captain Lu Feng quickly came back from his excitement and nodded vigorously, "Indeed, we have to go over quickly and transport a batch of fried rice and jerky for Captain Wang and the others."

When the other logistics personnel and wounded stayed in the camp heard this, they quickly began to help make relevant preparations. Soon, the carriage was confiscated, and supplies and radio stations were loaded into the car one after another. Deputy captain Lu Feng called the backbone of the guerrillas who were left behind in the camp, gave a careful advice, and then took Zhang Songling and Lao Yu down the mountain, and chased Heishi Village again like lightning.

The three of them were worried along the way, fearing that they would not be able to catch up with the battle between the two armies. As a result, no one wanted to take a rest. They marched day and night. Fortunately, the climate on the grassland has been stable recently and there was no sudden snowstorm. Horse thieves of all sizes were killed by guerrillas a few days ago and had not recovered their strength. Therefore, in addition to working harder, the three of them had a smooth journey. They only took less than four days to meet with Red Beard again.

"Whitebeest brought more than 600 people here, but did not directly attack the county town." After a brief greeting with the three, Red Beard immediately brought the topic to the topic, "The Japanese and Duke of Zhenguo also came over, and they also brought three other traitors. The total number was about 500, and they did not directly attack the city. They were stationed in the north of the city. I guess they were still waiting for other accomplices, but who they were not reconnaissance yet. Commissioner Peng and Battalion Commander Zhou meant to let Lao Yu stay with us first and help operate the radio station to maintain contact with the city. If the Japanese attacked the guerrillas first, after receiving our telegram, the Independent Battalion would immediately leave the city to attack his flank. If the Japanese attackers siege rashly and attacked the city, they could set out to pick up the Japanese's retreat at any time after receiving the telegram from the city."

The tactics of the defensive side are very simple, especially when the guerrillas and the independent battalion can maintain effective telecommunications, the complexity is the trend of the attacking side. The Japanese, Belarus and Mongolian and traitors have overwhelming advantages in terms of number of people and equipment. However, they stationed troops at the city and refused to launch an attack for a long time, which makes people feel inconsistent.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send cavalry to launch a tentative attack on Duke Zhenguo." After briefly introducing the situation between the enemy and us, Hongbei continued, "Lao Yu used the radio to notify the city and let them watch the battle on the side for the time being. Xiao Zhang, hurry up and rest. After the battle tomorrow morning is over, I have a new task for you."

"What task?" Zhang Songling immediately became energetic when he heard that there was a task. He asked loudly regardless of his physical fatigue.
