In the dusk, Gao Shenxing and Li Mu were accompanying Xu Shijiu to inspect the 5th Brigade that had just been rebuilt.

With Gao Shenxing as the brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and the death of Noguchi, Wang Yidao and others, the 5th Brigade had actually died in name only. After the reconstruction, the 5th Brigade expanded to more than 50 people and was organized into three teams. Li Mu personally served as the captain of the 1st Team, Yan Laosi as the captain of the 1st Team, and Xiaodanzi as the captain of the 3rd Team.

These more than 50 team members are all elites selected by Li Mu, Yan Laosi and Xiaodanzi from more than 5,000 veterans in the past few days.

"Captain, how about it?" Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw more than 50 team members erect their chests and bent and arrogant.

"Well, it looks good." Xu Shijiu nodded, and immediately Yufeng continued to say, "But I hope it won't be an embroidered pillow."

"Captain, what are you talking about?" Li Mu was unhappy and hummed, "What is an embroidered pillow? Give me three months to see what I can train this army? Humph."

"I can only give you half a month at most." Xu Shijiu said coldly, "It will have to be useful in half a month later."

Xu Shijiu rebuilt the 5th brigade, not just to build a special force, but to rob the Wang Puppet Government's money transport ship

The anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui has more and more troops, and it is about to exceed 7,000 people. The pressure on logistics support is getting heavier and heavier. Let’s not talk about him for the next time. The daily rations of 7,000 people alone are huge expenses. It cannot be supported by the funds seized from Japan alone for too long, so we have to find a way to expand our wealth as soon as possible.

However, China is poor and weak, and Longkou is even more a mountainous county. It is absolutely impossible to find a way out from Longkou.

Therefore, Xu Shijiu could only put his ideas on the Wang puppet government, and robbing gold tickets became inevitable.

Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed and must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. If you are not in charge of your business, you will not know that it is expensive. Only when you are in that position can you know that it is really not an easy task to support an army.

"Okay" Li Mu pondered for a moment, then agreed readily, "Half a month is half a month."

Xu Shijiu nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to give some encouragement, Ye Ruxue hurried over.

Xu Shijiu immediately realized that something might have happened to the New Fourth Army, so he handed over the 5th Battalion to Li Mu, and then hurried back to the headquarters.

When he returned to the headquarters, Ye Ruxue reported: "Commander, Gu Zhutong has already attacked the New Fourth Army, and our intelligence department has also received a secret order No. 16, Luojiawan, ordering us to try to cut off the Communist Party in Longkou County."

Xu Shijiu was not worried about the secret order issued by Luojiawan No. 16 to the Intelligence Department, because after the last assassination, the relationship between Ye Ruxue and Luojiawan No. 16, Chongqing has become extremely subtle. Under such circumstances, Ye Ruxue is unlikely to implement the order of Luojiawan No. 16, Chongqing. What's more, the Communist Party of Longkou County is not so easy to remove. It is impossible for only one Gao Shen marching military commander to move.

What really worried Xu Shijiu was the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, or to put it more directly, Xu Shijiu was very worried about Shu Tongwen's safety.

To be honest, Xu Shijiu was very disgusted with the Kuomintang, and he was extremely disgusted. He had no disgusted feelings towards the Communist Party, but he just had no disgusted feelings. But if you want to say goodwill, there was no big favor.

Although the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China condemned dozens of political workers to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army of Southern Anhui to help strengthen ideological control over officers and soldiers, this was also exchanged for Xu Shijiu's many weapons and equipment from the New Fourth Army, so it was more like a deal. Xu Shijiu could not bear the favors of the New Fourth Army. What's more, the Communist Party also took this opportunity to achieve deep penetration of Longkou. In general, the CCP even took advantage of it.

As for the personal friendship between Xu Shijiu and Shu Tongwen, it is still personal friendship after all, and it will not affect Xu Shijiu's political tendencies for the time being.

Therefore, even if the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui was completely wiped out by the National Army in Maolin, Xu Shijiu would only feel regretful, because both the National Army and the New Fourth Army were China's national defense forces, and China's national defense forces killed each other, which could only benefit the Japanese fisherman.

Xu Shijiu would only feel a little regretful when the New Fourth Army was eliminated by the National Army, but if Shu Tongwen had something to do, that would be another matter.

No matter what, Shu Tongwen was a soldier from the 19th Brigade. Xu Shijiu had a deep feeling about the 19th Brigade. In a sense, the 19th Brigade was a continuation of the 19th Route Army. Xu Shijiu completely transferred his feelings for the 19th Route Army to the 19th Brigade. Therefore, the remaining veterans of the 19th Brigade, such as Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Li Zihan, and Xu Shijiu were very concerned about it.

"How is the situation?" Xu Shijiu subconsciously held Ye Ruxue's hand because of concern for Shu Tongwen's safety and asked anxiously, "Did the New Fourth Army break through or will the National Army eliminate it?"

Ye Ruxue was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Xu Shijiushu in a daze.

Xu Shijiu realized that he had lost his composure and quickly withdrew his hand.

Ye Ruxue sighed in her heart and said in a low voice: "The two sides are still fighting fiercely at the moment, but the commander of the New Fourth Army, Ye Ting, has been detained. The New Fourth Army should not be able to hold on for too long."

Xu Shijiu's face suddenly showed anxiety.

Gao Shenxing looked at Xu Shijiu and said, "Old Xu, what do you say?"

Gao Shenxing has joined the Communist Party. According to his intention, of course, he will send troops immediately to support the New Fourth Army.

However, Xu Shijiu is not a Communist Party member. He is the commander of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, so he must consider more.

While Xu Shijiu was hesitating, Li Zihan also heard that Li Zihan's 1 regiment was the only main group stationed in the county.

Seeing Li Zihan coming in, Gao Shenxing's face darkened. With Li Zihan's standpoint, he would definitely stop Xu Shijiu from sending troops to support the New Fourth Army.

However, what Li Zihan said next made Gao Shenxing feel a little unbelievable. Li Zihan actually said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, I have a classmate who is a staff officer in the Army Group. He just sent someone to send me a secret letter. The New Fourth Army has been surrounded by the main force of the Army Group in Maolin. It is about to be destroyed. Let's send troops to support me quickly?"

Ye Ruxue and Xu Shijiu immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

Gao Shenxing even asked in a question: "Zihan, is this your truth?"

"Nonsense?" Li Zihan said angrily, "I have always believed that one day in the future, your Communist Party's armed forces are destined to be dealt with, but it is definitely not now, but the captain is right. At the moment, the country is in danger. Whether it is the National Army, the Communist Army, or even the bandits, we should all unite, and fight against the Japanese invaders together, let alone..."

"What's more, the New Fourth Army has Awen." Xu Shijiu took over the conversation, "We must not stand idly by just for Awen."

"Liu Dabo Liu Dabo" Xu Shijiu immediately shouted outside the door. When Liu Dabo came in, Xu Shijiu said again, "Immediately notify all regiments and their direct battalions to gather in Lijia Town before dawn tomorrow."

"Let me down, let me down." Liang Dadan struggled, trying to get off Wang Xiaomao's back.

Wang Xiaomao was so tired that he was panting like a cow and sweating like rain. From last night to now, Wang Xiaomao had no idea how far he had run with Liang Dadan on his back. For seventeen or eighteen hours, he never stopped, nor drank a sip of water. After a bite of food, he was helpless. Tens of thousands of Kuomintang troops were chasing him behind his butt.

"Wang Xiaomao, I order you to let me go." Liang Dadan was annoyed and struggled to pull out his pistol.

Wang Xiaomao didn't listen at all and shouted miserably: "Captain, even if you killed me, I won't let you go."

"Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?" Liang Dadan got angry and immediately pulled the head of the box cannon.

Wang Xiaomao had no choice but to ask Shu Tongwen in front of him for help: "Political commissar, political commissar, political commissar...
