For the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army who entered the dense forest to rest in winter, the crazy sweeping and encirclement of them by the Kwantung Army before the New Year really caused them to suffer heavy losses. Many secret camps were destroyed and countless officers and soldiers were shot and surrounded.

Even if the mountains are covered with heavy snow, many officers and soldiers feel that they can take a breath. But they are still worried that the traitor who is familiar with the situation of the Anti-Japanese United Army will come to him in this weather and encircle them in the dense forest.

If only Dukeli and a few people appeared at this moment, they might be very happy and immediately sent someone to greet them. At least for Yang Jingyu, he also hoped that these brave soldiers could complete the task of assassinating Cheng Bing.

But at this moment, Dukeli came back, and there were two strangers around him. Even Yang Jingyu felt very nervous in this situation. After all, this secret camp was too important. Once it was destroyed, their life would be even more difficult.

Just as Yang Jingyu gave the order to prepare for battle and personally rushed to the valley pass, Hu Youliang, who was walking in the middle of the team, could clearly hear the rapid footsteps coming from the front. He knew that there should be many people coming in front.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, Hu Youliang immediately said: "Company Commander Du, it seems that your people should be ready in front. In order to avoid misunderstandings, just bring money to advise. In addition, you can leave two people by my side.

Let me explain the matter clearly first, and I will go there later. Otherwise, I am afraid that Commander Yang and others will be worried about our intention to come here. Staff Qian, please explain the matter clearly and wait until I go there later. I will go there, right?"

This staff member Qian, who was specially drawn from the 117th Division and joined the liaison team, was originally the chief of staff of a main regiment under the 117th Division. Of course, General Qian was also clear about the tasks undertaken by this trip.

He smiled and said, "Okay, then Xiao Du and I will go there first. I haven't seen each other for some years, and I don't know if Commander Yang can recognize me. However, we are old comrades-in-arms, and I think he should still have some impression of me!"

Yang Jingyu, who was lying on the mountain and looking at Dukeli and his party, was somewhat surprised to see Hu Youliang and others stop suddenly. When Dukeli continued to walk forward again with a stranger, the rest stopped.

This action made Yang Jingyu feel a little relieved and said, "Send the order, don't shoot casually without my order!"

‘Yes, Commander-in-Chief!’

If you understand that the other party stopped and did not continue to move forward, you must be afraid of some misunderstanding. At least for Yang Jingyu, he believed that Du Keli would not betray him easily. But after the Cheng Bing rebellion incident, Yang Jingyu really did not dare to believe anyone easily.

Until Dukeli brought Staff Qian and an Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldier who came out of the mountain, arrived in the ambush circle set up by the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers. Looking at the heads looming on the hillside ahead, Dukeli also knew that someone had set up an ambush there.

He strode forward and said, "I am Dukeli, don't shoot casually. This is an old friend next to me who is the commander-in-chief."

At this time, Staff Qian also stopped and walked: "You commander-in-chief is here?"

‘Yes, Chief! If nothing unexpected happens, the commander-in-chief should be in this secret camp at this time.’

Du Keli, who replied to General Qian at the right time, did not disclose any news that Yang Jingyu was in the secret camp here when he brought these people over. Therefore, when he heard this answer, General Qian seemed a little surprised.

But soon, Staff Qian stepped forward and shouted, "Brother Jisheng, do you still remember Qian Xiucai who worked with you in Hubei, Henan and Anhui? I came here specially to find you from outside the pass! I haven't seen you for almost ten years, do you still remember me?"

Such a shout surprised Yang Jingyu. Just as he looked at Staff Qian and took off the hat he wore on his head, Yang Jingyu quickly recognized that this person was his comrade-in-arms in Hubei, Henan and Anhui back then.

Although he didn't understand why this comrade-in-arms appeared here, he knew that when he left that year, this comrade-in-arms had been staying in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet Area. If he came here at this moment, he might have probably sent it from the organization.

When he thought of this possibility, Yang Jingyu immediately said: "You guys, come with me!"

‘Commander-in-chief, for your safety, let’s be careful!’

The guards around him immediately stopped Yang Jingyu from meeting in person. In the eyes of these anti-Japanese soldiers, it doesn’t matter how much they lose. As long as Yang Jingyu is alive, he can continue to persevere.

If Yang Jingyu makes any mistakes, I am afraid that the entire Anti-Japanese United Army team will fall apart!

But Yang Jingyu insisted: "It's okay, I know this person. He was my comrade-in-arms when he was working in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, and he should have come from outside the pass. If nothing unexpected happens, he was ordered to come and contact us."

Seeing Yang Jingyu insisting, the guards around him could only be more careful and protect Yang Jingyu from the hillside. Looking at these figures standing up, Dukeli quickly accelerated his pace and walked over with Staff Qian.

Hu Youliang, who had been staying behind and watching, naturally saw what was happening before. However, he was still standing in the snow without much action. Doing so meant that he had no malice.

When Du Keli came to Yang Jingyu, he saluted and said, "Commander-in-Chief, we are back! This is Chief of Staff Qian Zhen, who came from outside the pass, and was here to contact us under the order of the Central Committee.

In addition, the one who stopped at the entrance of the valley was the captain of the operation team. This time we were ordered to assassinate the big traitor Cheng Bing, but the Japanese discovered it. If they had not rescued him, we would have been afraid that we would not have come back.

In addition to the safe evacuation of a few of us, the Mavericks have been sacrificed. However, the big traitor Cheng Bing has been shot dead by Captain Hu. I saw that they were here to find the commander-in-chief, so I brought them over without authorization. Please punish the commander-in-chief!"

When talking about asking for punishment, Yang Jingyu said unexpectedly: "Is that big traitor dead?"

‘Yes! When we evacuated Tonghua City before, we did not confirm the news. Later, I found a liaison officer at our transportation station to confirm the news. The Japanese who bought the big traitor was also beaten to death by Captain Hu and the others.

It was because I learned about these situations that I spent a while with them and found that they had no malice towards me. Moreover, along the way, they did not take the initiative to find out about our affairs, so I decided to bring them here.

I know that the commander-in-chief has always wanted to contact the Party Central Committee. These people were sent by the Party Central Committee to find us. They also sent a lot of intelligence officers before, but none of them could find our whereabouts.

Even because of the severe damage to our traffic station, many traitors appeared. Most of the people sent to find us were killed by the Japanese. This time, they sent a liaison team here, and these people were very powerful.’

Just as Dukeli quickly reported these situations, Staff Qian had already come over and said with a smile: "Brother Jisheng, you haven't seen each other for ten years, and you look a lot older! Don't blame Xiao Du, he has actually done a good job.

When he entered the mountain before, he just said that he would take us to a secret camp of your Anti-Japanese United Army, and finally contact you to meet us. Unexpectedly, he said that you were here.

However, it would be great to see you. Speaking of which, it is not easy to find your whereabouts in this vast mountain. Now I feel relieved when I see you safe."

Listening to what Qian Zhen said, Yang Jingyu hurried forward and said, "Scholar, you haven't seen each other for ten years. You are still so polite! I learned that the Fourth Red Front Army left Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and I have been worried about your safety. Are Secretary Xu and the others okay?"

Facing Yang Jingyu's inquiry, Qian Zhen said with a sad expression: "Old comrade-in-arms, Secretary Xu died in the third year after you left. Not only him, but also Chairman Cao and the others died. Alas, there were not many old comrades alive back then.

However, after our Red Fourth Front Army arrived in Shaanxi for a long distance, it has now been expanded into the 117th Division, and its headquarters is in the Hebei-Henan-Lu area. At present, our division has more than 50,000 troops.

The division commander is Comrade Xiang Qian and the political commissar is Comrade Zeng Zhongsheng. In the early years, there were not many of our comrades living now. As for me, I was lucky to save my life after being injured during the Long March, and now I serve as the chief of staff of the 1st regiment in the 117th Division."

After briefly introducing these situations, Yang Jingyu learned that many of the comrades who founded the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area were no longer in the world, and he felt a little sad. But the problem is, this is a revolution!

Fortunately, after chatting for a few words, Qian Zhen quickly took out two letters from his pocket and said: "Brother Jisheng, there are two letters here, one was written to you by Comrade ****, the current chairman of the Central Committee, and the other was written to you by Commander-in-Chief Zhu."

Seeing the two letters handed to him, Yang Jingyu, who knew very little about the situation outside the pass, gradually believed what Qian Zhen said. No matter what, he really wanted to contact the central government in the years he went to the Northeast to lead the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

In the two letters, Taizu and General Zhu fully affirmed their work in the Northeast War of Resistance. At the same time, in the letter, some matters about the Eighth Route Army were explained in detail, and the Central Committee also informed the reason why they sent someone to contact them but failed.

After reading the two letters, Yang Jingyu also said excitedly: "Did you bring the radio station?"

‘Well, I’m carrying it outside! Your soldier is very good. I’m worried that we are liars, so I’m not allowed to bring more people! However, when we entered the mountain, we had eleven people, all of whom were very elite military backbones.

Worried about the exposure of our whereabouts, most of us only carry some supplies you urgently need. In addition to a radio station that can be used for contact, there is also a batch of medicines, salt packs and food. By the way, the captain of our contact team has also come.’

‘Quick, please!’

Yang Jingyu was really happy to hear that Qian Zhen and others who came to the mountain this time not only sent radio stations, urgently needed medicines and salt. You should know that for them who are resting in the mountains at this moment, they really need to contact the Central Central.

As an armed force under the leadership of the Party, it has been lost to the Party for a long time, which undoubtedly makes the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in a chaotic state of fighting each other when fighting. If the Party is led, this situation may improve! (To be continued.)
