The meeting resumed, and Jiang Xiaomei made a detailed report to Yang Jiong on the help provided by the Taohuashan guerrillas to the county brigade. Finally, she said: "Without Brother Ninth's help, the county brigade would have been wiped out long ago. Even if it survived,

, it would not be possible to have the rapid development it is today. Here, I would like to thank Brother Jiu and the brothers of the Taohuashan Guerrilla Army again."

In the past, Yang Jiong also knew 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. If nothing else, just say that the large number of weapons and ammunition that had just been provided to the county brigade was far away.

It was far beyond Yang Jiong's imagination.

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

Gao Han also responded enthusiastically: "You're welcome, we are all a team fighting Japanese invaders, and we should help each other."

Yang Jiong said: "The Taohuashan guerrillas have been highly praised by our party's superior leaders for their superior combat power and high political wisdom in a series of battles against the enemy. I have received

According to the instructions from our superiors, we will fully cooperate with Taohuashan in carrying out the anti-Japanese movement."

Gao Han was pleased with the positive and cooperative attitude shown by the underground party. He said: "Absolutely. Your party is the backbone of the anti-Japanese force and has a bright future. As a civilian anti-Japanese armed force, our Taohuashan guerrillas will definitely actively

Cooperate with the county brigade’s combat operations.”

Gao Han's words implicitly revealed several meanings. First, he showed his affirmation and respect for the underground party. Second, he showed that he was an independent anti-Japanese armed force and would continue to carry out anti-Japanese activities independently in the future.

Third, the partners of the Taohuashan guerrillas are mainly the county brigade headed by Jiang Xiaomei. Even if the underground party has other requirements, communication must be done through Jiang Xiaomei.

Yang Jiong is educated and has rich political experience. Gao Han's words made him feel slightly disappointed. However, as the superiors of the underground party explained, even if they cannot win this guerrilla group to join the underground party, both sides can still

Carry out close cooperation.

Gao Han's respect for the underground party and cooperative attitude still made Yang Jiong happy.

Then, everyone continued to discuss the next battle plan.

Gao Han first put forward his own combat concept, and after Yang Jiong, Jiang Xiaomei and others supplemented it, a complete combat plan was formed.

After getting to know the Taohuashan guerrillas for a period of time, Yang Jiong already had full trust in Gao Han. He said: "As a military minister, I really hope to participate in this battle with you. It is really a pity.

Yes. I will go back and report to my superiors."

After finishing speaking, he said to Jiang Xiaomei: "I have received instructions from my superiors. In addition to accepting the tasks of unified deployment by superiors, the county brigade will have independent combat rights in the future. There is no need to ask superiors for instructions on everything."

The county brigade is now a sizable armed force. It can have independent combat power. The county brigade can free its hands and carry out the struggle against the enemy with great fanfare.

Jiang Xiaomei and the squadron leaders of the county brigade were very happy, and Gao Han was also very satisfied with the Shoucheng County underground party's pragmatic attitude in fighting the enemy.

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

Yang Jiong said goodbye, and 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: "The boss, Captain Jiang, I have to rush back to the county to report to my superiors. Let's part ways now. I wish you victory and immediate success."

At this time, Gao Han said: "Minister Yang, Captain Jiang, let's take a step to talk."

The three of them walked under a big willow tree by the roadside. Gao Han whispered: "Minister Yang, our Taohuashan guerrillas have a secret liaison station in Shoucheng County. You can get in touch with them in the future to facilitate our mutual communication."

.”

One of Yang Jiong's tasks when he came to the county brigade this time was to try to establish direct contact with Gao Han's Taohuashan guerrillas through Jiang Xiaomei. Hearing what Gao Han said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said happily: "Thank you, boss, for your support."

With the trust of my underground party, you can rest assured that we will definitely act with caution to protect the safety of your underground liaison station."

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

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 Taohuashan guerrillas have all withdrawn into Taohua Cave. Around Taohua Cave, they carefully removed all human traces. Since the entrance of Taohua Cave is extremely secretive,

Without acquaintances to lead the way, it would be difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to discover it. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops could not find Peach Blossom Cave, their large-scale encirclement and suppression would be considered a complete failure.

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 other leaders are carefully conducting a final inspection.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on May 6, Feng Xiucai always felt a little uneasy, so he discussed it with Guo Hengming and others. Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi and others summoned all the people in the village.

Feng Xiucai asked: "The Japanese will attack tomorrow. Let's think about it carefully. Did you miss anything on the way when transporting supplies?"

This is not the first time this question has been asked to everyone. Everyone has recalled it carefully and found no problems during the transportation of materials.

So everyone replied: "No."

Feng Xiucai was still a little worried. He said: "Don't rush to answer. Think about it carefully. What happened on the road? Did you lose anything? Even a shoe or a sock is of great importance. Everyone.

Think about it more carefully!"

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

Seeing that they couldn't ask any questions, the three leaders looked at each other and Guo Hengming said, "Okay! Let's disband."
Chapter completed!
