The meeting started again, and Jiang Xiaomei gave a detailed report to Yang Jiong on the help of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to the county brigade. Finally, she said: "If it weren't for the help of Brother Jiu, the county brigade would have been wiped out long ago. Even if he survived, he would not have had the rapid development now. Here, I would once again thank Brother Jiu and the brothers of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas."

Yang Jiong had known before that the growth of the county brigade had received strong support from the Taohuashan guerrillas. He did not expect that the support was so strong. Not to mention anything else, just saying that the large number of weapons and ammunition that had just supported the county brigade was far beyond Yang Jiong's imagination.

Yang Jiong stood up, held Gao Han's hand, and said excitedly: "Gao Da, thank you for your strong support to the anti-Japanese armed forces led by our party. On behalf of the Shoucheng County Party Committee of the Underground Party, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you."

Gao Han also responded enthusiastically: "You're welcome, you're all teams fighting the Japanese, so it's time to help each other."

Yang Jiong said: "The great master, the Taohuashan guerrillas showed in a series of battles against the enemy, and their high political wisdom, have been highly praised by our party's superiors. I have received instructions from my superiors and will fully cooperate with Taohuashan to carry out the anti-Japanese movement in the future."

Gao Han was happy about the active and cooperative attitude shown by the underground party. He said: "It must be certain. The party is the backbone of the anti-Japanese war and has a bright future. As a civil anti-Japanese armed force, our Taohuashan guerrillas will definitely actively cooperate with the county brigade's combat operations."

Gao Han’s words implicitly expressed several meanings. First, they showed his affirmation and respect for the underground party. Second, they showed that he was an independent anti-Japanese armed force among the people and would continue to carry out anti-Japanese activities independently in the future. Third, the cooperation target of the Taohuashan guerrillas is mainly the county brigade headed by Jiang Xiaomei. Even if the underground party has other requirements, they should communicate through Jiang Xiaomei.

Yang Jiong is educated and has rich political experience. He felt a little disappointed when he was slightly disappointed. However, as the superiors of the underground party told me, even if this guerrilla team cannot be fought for the underground party, the two sides can still cooperate closely.

Gao Han showed respect and cooperation towards the underground party, which he still happy.

Then, everyone continued to discuss the next combat plan.

Gao Han first proposed his combat concept, and after supplementing it by Yang Jiong, Jiang Xiaomei and others, he formed a complete combat plan.

After this period of time, Yang Jiong has gained full trust in Gao Han. He said: "As a military minister, I really hope to be able to participate in this battle with you. It's a pity. I'll go back and report to my superiors."

After saying that, he said to Jiang Xiaomei: "I have received instructions from my superiors. In the future, the county brigade's combat operations will have the right to operate independently, except for accepting tasks unifiedly deployed by the superiors. There is no need to ask for instructions from the superiors in everything."

The county brigade is now a very large-scale armed force. If it can have the right to fight independently, the county brigade can completely let go and carry out the struggle against the enemy with great fanfare.

Jiang Xiaomei and the squadron leaders of the county brigade were all very happy. Gao Han was also very satisfied with the underground party in Shoucheng County, which was realistic and fighting against the enemy.

After lunch, Jiang Xiaomei arranged for the squadron leader Li Degong to take the team members to follow Jia Liu to retrieve the batch of weapons and ammunition.

Yang Jiong offered to say goodbye, Gao Han, Jiang Xiaomei and the backbone of the county brigade accompanied him to the outside of the village.

At the entrance of the village, Yang Jiong said, "Boss, Captain Jiang, I will rush back to the county and report to my superiors. Let's part here. I wish you a victory and a success."

At this time, Gao Han said, "Minister Yang, Captain Jiang, let's talk with you."

The three of them walked to a big willow tree by the roadside, and Gao Han whispered: "Minister Yang, our Taohua Mountain Guerrillas have a secret contact station in Shoucheng County. You can contact them in the future to facilitate our mutual communication."

When Yang Jiong came to the county brigade this time, one of the tasks was to strive to establish a direct connection with Gao Han’s Taohua Mountain guerrillas through Jiang Xiaomei. Hearing Gao Han say this, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed and said happily: “Thank you for your trust in my underground party. Don’t worry, we will definitely act carefully and protect the safety of your underground liaison station.”

Gao Han wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Yang Jiong, asking him to contact Sun Yongan directly with the letter.

Yang Jiong said goodbye to Gao Han, Jiang Xiaomei and others again, and returned to the county town.

Peach Blossom Cave.

Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi, Feng Xiucai and the Taohua Mountain guerrillas all retreated into Taohua Cave. Around Taohua Cave, they carefully cleared all man-made traces. Because the entrance of Taohua Cave is extremely hidden and without acquaintances, it is difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to discover it. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops cannot find Taohua Cave, their large-scale encirclement and suppression will be completely failed.

According to the information sent by Ma Erbao, the Japanese and puppet troops will officially launch an encirclement and suppression operation tomorrow morning. Guo Hengming and several other leaders will conduct the last inspection seriously.

At 2:00 p.m. on May 6, Feng Xiucai always felt a little worried and discussed with Guo Hengming and others. Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi and others summoned all the staff in the village.

Feng Xiucai asked: "The Japanese will attack tomorrow. Please think carefully about whether you missed anything on the road when transporting supplies?"

This is not the first time I have asked everyone this question. Everyone has carefully recalled that no problems were found during the process of transporting materials.

So everyone replied, "No."

Feng Xiucai was still a little worried. He said, "Don't rush to answer. Please think about it carefully. What happened on the road? Have you lost anything? Even if it's a shoe or a sock, it's important. Everyone think about it carefully!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then they said, "No, I haven't left anything behind anyway."

Seeing that the three leaders could not ask any questions, they looked at each other and Guo Hengming said, "Okay! Then let's disband."
Chapter completed!
