Chapter 4 Brothers (After)

The atmosphere inside the room immediately became a little depressed, but the wind outside became stronger and stronger. It slammed the kraft paper into a translucent window with snow particles the size of mung beans.

"Cruff." The sound of the door shaft turned to break the silence in the room. The door made of old elm boards was pushed open from the outside. Su Xing, commander and political commissar of the Chabei Military Sub-district, walked in with a staggering foot, threw the frozen cotton gloves on the chair. While covering his fingers on the mouth of the red mud and carbon basin, he complained loudly, "What the hell is this? The dogs dare not leave the nest. However, the villagers said that it is not the coldest time. When the days of the 90s, they have to carry a wooden stick with them when peeing."

"Haha." Liu Guoliang, the head of the security section, smiled reluctantly, stood up, walked to the carbon basin and gently thrust it with fire chopsticks a few times, making the few charcoal inside slightly brighter.

Su Xing finally felt the heat rising from the carbon basin, and a satisfied sigh came out, "Hiss, ah, it's much more comfortable now. Lao Liu and Lao Zhang, the report requesting support staff and supplies that he fought with the General Military Region for support has been sent. Is the General Military Region going to give us a specific reply?"

"I sent it yesterday afternoon, and I haven't received any response yet." Liu Guoliang shook his head and responded in a low voice, "I guess there are difficulties at the headquarters. The Japanese have set their sights on our Jin Cha Ji, and there are people on Yan Xishan who always want to put a knife behind us."

"Yes." Su Xing nodded slightly, "Commander Nie has a lot of pressure. Recently, he has been busy forming the Jin Recha Army. He doesn't care about our side for the time being. Forget it, let's be self-reliant and find a way to rob the Japanese a convoy to transport supplies, and you will have everything."

"The Japanese rarely organize road freight in such weather, unless we rob the railway." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun raised his head from the table and responded in a low voice.

"That's a bit troublesome. Datong is a bit far from our military division." Su Xing rubbed his hands a few times and frowned. He felt that the two colleagues were not very upset. He raised his head from the carbon basin and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You two are listless. They have a cold, but they still can't adapt to the ghost weather like me."

"No." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun and Security Section Chief Liu Guoliang waved their hands awkwardly at the same time, "We were just talking about the matter of the wife's guerrillas, and we were a little relieved."

"You are talking about Captain Wu." When talking about the sacrifice, Su Xing was a little heavy. "I am still his introduction to the party. What a good comrade. He was only thirty-two years old, so he went early."

"Yes." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun sighed, "The last time I held a commendation meeting in the military region, I was still in the same dormitory with him. In just a blink of an eye, hey,."

"It's all because of Yan Xishan. Even though he knew that his troops were no longer reliable, he didn't communicate with us in advance. As a result, Captain Wu was caught off guard and he didn't even have the chance to lead his troops to transfer." Liu Guoliang bit his teeth and said hatefully.

In the recent public security war launched by the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army's Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region lost more than a guerrilla team in Niangzi Pass. There are many factors that triggered the crisis. The biggest one is that several troops from the Jin army suddenly surrendered to the Japanese devils, resulting in many Eighth Route Army guerrilla teams being trapped in the double siege of the Japanese and puppet troops in an instant, and there was no time to take any transfer measures.

"It's great that he can persist until now and never turn against us." Su Xing smiled, his expression on his face slightly bitter, "No matter when, it's better to beg for others than to beg for others. Yan Xishan is just an old warlord. In his heart, national justice is probably far less important than his own."

"You mean that the puppet troops who surrendered to the Japanese this time received Yan Xishan's acquiescence in advance." Liu Guoliang's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"I don't have any evidence in my hand." Su Xing thought for a while and shook his head vigorously, "so you can't doubt him, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the overall situation of the War of Resistance."

"Oh." Liu Guoliang, the chief of the security section, dimmed his eyes in an instant. He shook his head and sighed in a low voice. The situation currently facing the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region is very complicated, especially in terms of cooperation with Yan Xishan, it has reached a very critical intersection. As the person in charge of the security work, he can keenly feel the atmosphere of the storm coming and the wind is coming. However, in order to maintain the increasingly fragile alliance between the Eighth Route Army and the Jin army, he and his affiliated departments cannot take any decisive measures to take preemptive measures. They can only watch the situation develop little by little in the direction that no one wants to see. (Note 1)

"These words just now are the private discussions of the three of us. I guess, after suffering this loss, the military region has already begun to set up countermeasures." Su Xing was unwilling to mention these heartfelt things, waved his hand and summed up in a low voice, "Comrade Wu Nan sacrificed his life for the country, even though he died, we later died, rather than focusing on mourning them, it is better to kill a few more Japanese for them."

"Yes, it's our honor to be a soldier and die on the battlefield." Deputy Commander Zhang Jiyun stood up and responded with a reluctant smile.

"I just hate that I can't kill those guys who stabbed the guerrillas in the back with my own hands." Liu Guoliang still said three words and added gritted his teeth.

"Soon and later, you will have this opportunity." Su Xing nodded slightly, then pulled the topic back to the North Military Sub-district itself, "How are we doing here? Are the troops below affected?

"The focus of the Japanese attack this time was mainly Shanxi. The comrades in southern Chahar were somewhat affected. As for our North Chahar, they have not been affected at all." The intelligence field is Liu Guoliang's expertise. Without thinking, he reported it as if he had known it.

"That's good." Su Xing grinned and held his head with gratitude like a rich man. "Everything here has just begun, and we haven't even raised the airs yet. If we pay attention to the Japanese, the trouble will be great."

"Even if we haven't received the attention of the Japanese, we may not be too relaxed recently." Liu Guoliang thought about it and felt that he would discuss the topic between himself and Deputy Commander Zhang and the commander and political commissar again with Su Xing, the commander and political commissar. "There may be some problems in the recent development of the Lamagou guerrillas."

"Wang Hu Zi." Su Xing immediately met the specific person under his command, stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about what went wrong with Wang Hu Zi? Some time ago, didn't he just win a battle?"
