Although Guan Shijie was not good at wine, he couldn't help but cheer when he smelled the aroma of his homemade wine.

"Good wine!"

"Dad Hu is just like cooking, and brewing wine is first-class." Yuan Xu said with a smile: "People who are not close or old are afraid they will not have a good taste and taste the wine they brewed by their father himself."

"Mr. Yuan is too rewarded, and the old man is ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility." said Mr. Hu.

Guan Shijie felt very strange. Yuan Xu came to Linli Special Training School. It was only over a month before he found fine wine in this alley. Could it be that Yuan Xu had known Mr. Hu long ago

The wine is sweet and mellow in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless. The dishes are indeed as Yuan Xu said, and the taste is sloppy.

"Major Guan, you and I hit it off at first sight. Let's do this glass of wine first."

The two of them clinked glasses and drank them all in one go. After drinking a glass of wine, the two of them chatted wildly.

Guan Shijie knew in his heart that Yuan Xu invited himself to such a remote place to drink, which was exactly the same as the saying that the drunkard's intention was not to drink. Yuan Xu would definitely talk to him about joining the Communist Party.

After two glasses of wine, Yuan Xu said: "I originally believed in the Three Principles of the People, but later the Kuomintang was corrupt and there were some things that were done, which made me feel very disappointed."

"What does Director Yuan believe in now?" Guan Shijie asked bluntly.

"If there is a political party that can seek welfare for the people wholeheartedly. Everything starts with the interests of the people. There is no class exploitation or oppression. Such partyism should be my belief."

"Director Yuan, can I understand that what you believe in now is communism?"

"I'm not insidious about Instructor Guan, I've been examining you for a long time. I know your resume and how you deal with people and things." Yuan Xu said: "Instructor Guan may have guessed that I am a member of the Communist Party of China. I want to invite Instructor Guan to join the Communist Party together. I don't know what Instructor Guan thought."

Guan Shijie had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he immediately replied: "I am willing to join the Communist Party organization and I am willing to fight for the cause of communism for the rest of my life."

"Okay!" Yuan Xu said: "On behalf of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, you are a probationary member of the Communist Party of China, with a one-year preparatory period. During this year, you will be tested by the party organization."

"I see."

"I am your party introduction person. From today on, we will be revolutionary comrades. I will report your affairs to my superiors and wait for the next work instructions." Yuan Xu said.

"Okay, I follow the organization's arrangements." Guan Shijie replied.

Yuan Xu then explained some things. Although the two of them worked in the same environment, they could not have had too close relationships. In the future, if they had any problems with each other, they would come to Mr. Hu to leave a verbal message and try to avoid written communication.

It was not until this time that Guan Shijie realized that this small restaurant was a point of contact.

Yuan Xu did not specifically mention which department he belonged to or what position he belonged to. Guan Shijie was not convenient to ask. No matter what, he had found a organizer now. As time goes by, he will definitely become a real Communist.

In the following days, Guan Shijie was in an excited state. When he was walking at night, he occasionally went to the alley and went to Mr. Hu to find out if Yuan Xu had left any message.

In order to avoid human eyes, every time I buy a pound of wine, I go back and drink with Qin Chuan. I occasionally ask Mali to drink a sip.

Students are strictly prohibited from drinking at school. Therefore, they cannot often call Mali to the instructor's dormitory for a drink.

That night, Guan Shijie came to Mr. Hu's small restaurant again. Mr. Hu said that Yuan Xu left a message to ask Mr. Guan Shijie to find progressive people among the instructors and students to absorb them into the Communist Party's organization.

Finally, there is another saying, this matter must be carried out in secret. Do not reveal any trace of the wind.

Guan Shijie naturally knew that in view of the Kuomintang's lip service and disobedience, it has been curbing the development of the Communist Party and some democratic parties, and the history he learned during the years he traveled through time, such activities can only be carried out quietly and should not be promoted with great fanfare.

In Guan Shijie's mind, there are already two best candidates. One is Zheng Pingru and the other is Ma Li. As for Qin Chuan, Guan Shijie is not sure yet and has absorbed him into the party organization.

On April 15, Linli Special Training Class School received a telegram from the headquarters: The Taierzhuang Battle was a great victory.

The battle lasted 33 days from March 14 to April 15. The Japanese army successively invested in the elite North China Front Army, the main forces of the Isogaki Division and Itagaki Division. They included three artillery corpses and some air and armored units, with a total force of about 40,000.

The combat troops that China has successively invested are commanded by the Fifth War Zone. There are 24 divisions and two brigades, and two artillery regiments about 200,000 people.

The Japanese army relied on its superior weapons and continued to attack with heavy artillery as cover. The Chinese defenders relied on simple weapons to resist tenaciously, defeating the attack of the Japanese elite division at the cost of 20,000 casualties, and achieving a major victory since the War of Resistance.

The Taierzhuang Campaign wiped out more than 20,000 enemies, seized more than 10,000 rifles, 931 light and heavy machine guns, 77 infantry artillery pieces, and more than 50 cannons with 40 chariots.

However, the National Government did not seize the opportunity of victory and continued to expand the results of the battle. The Japanese army was able to calmly transfer 14 divisions and re-form a serious situation of attacking Taierzhuang and Xuzhou from north to south.

Just as the whole country was excited about the victory of the Taierzhuang Battle, the subsequent Huayuankou Burning Incident made the people feel extremely disgusted with the actions of the National Government.

The direct reason for the breaking of Huayuankou was that the Japanese army gathered heavy troops in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu. Zhengzhou was an important town in the Central Plains and was located at the intersection of the two railways, Pinghan and Longhai.

If the Japanese army occupied Zhengzhou, it would not only cut off the two railway lines, but also go south along the Pinghan Line, directly threatening Wuhan, the political and military center of China at that time, and destroying the central organization of the National Government.

To this end, Chiang Kai-shek flew freely to Zhengzhou in Wuhan and discussed plans to block the enemy with the commander of the First War Zone.

Chiang Kai-shek did not agree with the suggestion of organizing the army for effective defense, but instead took the blame for the lives and property of millions of people. He ignored the plan of the Chief of Staff of the First War Zone, Yan Xunfu and others, following the ancient military strategy of flooding the seven armies, blew up the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River, and used water as a soldier to block the enemy's advance westward and southward.

After the Huayuankou broke the dike, although the strategic purpose of preventing the Japanese army from advancing westward and moving south to a certain extent, the Yellow River water flowed downward along the Yushi, Fugou and Xihua areas of Zhongmu, causing 12.5 million people to suffer from floods in 44 counties and cities in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.

This time, the man-made Yellow River diverted the route from 1938 to 1947. In more than 8 years, the Yellow River flooded areas were affected by disasters every year and starvation was everywhere.

After the Huayuankou dam broke down and caused floods, the National Government was unable to make an explanation publicly. He had no choice but to publicize it. It was a Japanese plane that exploded the dam.

But there are still some domestic and foreign journalists who revealed the truth about the collapse of the garden mouth.
