In the 769th Regiment of the 129th Division, Commander Chen was lying on the table to study the map.

Two months ago, the headquarters issued an order to establish a base on site.

In order to build the base area as soon as possible, increase the influence of the Eighth Route Army, and expand the troops, Commander Chen sent more than 100 working teams to surrounding villages and towns.

It has been almost two months since some working teams were killed under heavy siege of Japanese and puppet troops. Some working teams lived up to expectations and took root in the local area. They also formed many teams to build guerrilla areas in full swing to prepare for the establishment of a base in the future.

The political commissar suddenly walked in with a smile on his face: "Captain, the underground party has just sent an information. I think this news is related to the work team we sent out!"

Commander Chen didn't need to think about what it was: "Is there another working team killing a few Japanese and puppet troops behind the enemy?"

The political commissar nodded: "I won the battle, but the scale of this battle is a bit large! I was shocked when I saw the information for the first time. I thought the underground party had made a mistake, so I repeatedly confirmed it and believed that this was true!"

For more than a month, the regiment headquarters has received good news from the work team every day, such as killing a traitor today, killing two Japanese soldiers tomorrow, and ambushing a patrol the day after tomorrow...

There were too many good news, and Captain Chen felt a little numb when he heard it.

After hearing the political commissar said there was good news about the work team, he subconsciously regarded it as a small victory of about the same scale as usual, and then he lost interest and turned his attention to the map again.

He did not regain interest until the political commissar said the battle was extraordinary.

"Uh, what kind of battle can scare you, the political commissar, it's too exaggerated!"

The political commissar shook his head: "It's no exaggeration at all. The intelligence given to us by the underground party shows that the Japanese and puppet troops lost at least 300 people in this battle, including a squadron of Japanese devils."

"If the main force fights this battle, we need at least two companies to be sure, and the protagonist of this battle is just a guerrilla team!"

"This is impossible!" Captain Chen retorted without hesitation.

"As far as I know, among the working teams that the regiment headquarters can contact, there are only more than fifty people with the best development, and they are all new recruits. How could it be possible to defeat so many Japanese and puppet troops? I don't believe it."

The political commissar smiled bitterly and replied: "I didn't believe it at first, but the underground party told us the information that it was true. They would definitely not lie about military information, and there was no need to lie about military information to us."

"The above said that this guerrilla team is in Pingding territory, and is called Donghui Town guerrilla team. It suddenly appeared more than half a month ago and is currently hiding in the Jinshan area east of Pingding County."

"Three days ago, the Japanese and puppet troops sent troops to encircle this guerrilla team: they went to an infantry squadron and two companies of the Imperial Army. That night, the Japanese led the squadron leader to flee back to the county town in a panic, with less than thirty soldiers left by their side. This matter has spread in pacification. It is said that the guerrilla team in Donghui Town is a heavenly soldier and general who came down to earth to kill the Japanese and puppet soldiers, which caused panic among the local Japanese and puppet soldiers..."

"Pingding County!" Commander Chen found the location of Pingding County on the map, and then asked the Chief of Staff: "We sent several working teams to Pingding, are there anyone who can contact us?"

The Chief of Staff quickly looked through the information in his hand and replied one minute later: "A total of five working teams were sent, two of which were betrayed by local traitors in less than ten days of their activities and sacrificed to the hands of the Japanese."

"The two working teams have been in contact with the underground party, and the situation is not optimistic. They have been forced into the mountains by Japanese and puppet troops and traitors, and their respective sizes are no more than ten people."

"There is another work team that lost contact, and our judgment was that it was destroyed by the Japanese and puppet troops."

Commander Chen's eyes shone and judged: "The predecessor of the Donghui Town guerrillas was probably related to this team that had lost contact. Some accidents must have occurred in the middle that caused them to lose contact with us."

"Political Commissar, immediately ask the underground party members to contact the Donghui Town guerrillas to find out their true situation."

"Even if you use tricks, the combat effectiveness of this guerrilla team should not be underestimated. You must contact them as soon as possible."

"Chief of Staff, find out who led this task force immediately!"

The Chief of Staff quickly found a list and handed it to the Chief Chen: "No need to check, the regiment headquarters has a list of personnel from all the working teams."

"There are five comrades in this work team, one squad leader named Zhou Cheng, and there are two veterans, two new recruits, equipped with three rifles and six grenades."

"Zhou Cheng..." Captain Chen kept silently chanting these two words in his mouth.

There are more than a hundred cadres above the 769th Regiment Class. Although Leader Chen cannot know everyone, as long as the squad leader is capable, he should leave some memories in his mind.

Soon he thought: "Was Zhou Cheng from the Second Company? He was a platoon leader before the reorganization. After the reorganization, he was a squad leader and was always worried about his platoon leader being transferred to the squad leader. He heard that the main force was going to send a work team around and develop his own troops. He took the initiative to join the work team. He also asked me at that time, could he be the platoon leader by pulling out a team of thirty or forty people again!"

The Chief of Staff also thought about it and replied thoughtfully: "That's the case."

"I remember the regiment commander, you told him at that time: If you can raise the strength of a company, let him be the company commander. The boy was so happy that he jumped up from the ground and answered arrogantly. He expanded the five people in the work team to more than one hundred in three months."

"If the predecessor of the Donghui Town guerrillas was really this working team, then Comrade Zhou Cheng would have fulfilled his promise at that time!"

"Report..." The guard company commander suddenly appeared at the door.

Seeing Commander Chen nodding, he strode in: "Captain, Political Commissar, a team appeared five kilometers south of us, with about one platoon of troops, and brought several mules and horses, full of supplies, and was coming to the regiment headquarters."

"The guards came into contact with them. They claimed that they were from the guerrillas in Donghui Town, Pingding County. The leader was the guerrilla team leader Zhou Cheng, who wanted to contact the regiment headquarters."

"It's really Zhou Cheng, political commissar. It's really easy to get it. It shows that our judgment just now is correct. The guerrillas in Donghui Town are the team that Zhou Cheng brought up!" Captain Chen smiled.

Looking at the guard company commander, he was very happy to order: "The guerrillas in Donghui Town are our own people. You can immediately take them to the regiment headquarters and then let Zhou Cheng come to see me."

"Yes, regiment commander..." The guard company commander quickly took the order.

Just as he was about to go to the execution, the political commissar suddenly spoke: "The Second Company is nearby. Let's notify the Second Company Commander first and let him go and pick him up together."

"After confirming that the other party is really Zhou Cheng, then take it to the regiment headquarters. If it is not, lead troops to surround them immediately!"

The political commissar's decision was undoubtedly more secure, and Chief Chen immediately agreed: "Just do as the political commissar said, so that the Second Company would go to a few more comrades who knew Zhou Cheng."

"Our opponents are too cunning and cannot be defended. It is not ruled out that they use this sudden guerrilla team to plot against us."
