When Chu Yunfei received the telegram from Yan Laoxi, he held the telegram for a while and did not react.
Chu Yunfei did not expect that Yan Laoxi would ask him to ask for Yuncheng from the Eighth Route Army, and the word he used was "return", as if Yan Laoxi lent Yuncheng to the Eighth Route Army.
Fang Ligong saw that Chu Yunfei had a strange look on his face, so he stepped forward and asked, "Setting down!"
Chu Yunfei said nothing, but handed the telegram to Fang Ligong.
Fang Ligong was speechless for a moment after receiving the telegram.
Even before, the Jinsui Army used things and talents to "buy" Yuncheng from the Eighth Route Army, but now it actually "returns" it... This means that Yan Laoxi got it for nothing this time? How can it be so cheap?
thing!
But Fang Ligong didn't dare to say anything. There were Yan Laoxi's informants everywhere, and the headquarters was no exception. If he complained a few words, Yan Laoxi would know about it tomorrow.
Therefore, Fang Ligong could only swallow his breath like Chu Yunfei.
After thinking about it, Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzuo, this Yuncheng was taken back from the Japanese by the Eighth Route Army. If you want to get it back from them... I'm afraid it won't be easy! Are we going to be like last time...
…”
What Fang Ligong meant was that since the Eighth Route Army was willing to change last time, this time should be no exception.
So the focus should be on Yan Laoxi and see what price he can afford.
Chu Yunfei thought so too, not to mention that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Who would let him be the commander?
So Chu Yunfei said helplessly: "Let's go to Yuncheng first to see what the Eighth Route Army means!"
So Chu Yunfei took Fang Ligong and rushed to Yuncheng.
It was already two days later when Chu Yunfei arrived at Yuncheng. At this time, Yuncheng was already very busy... The people who originally escaped from Yuncheng had returned to the city in groups. Although Yuncheng had been completely changed after several wars, it was still there after all.
Their home is a place they are familiar with. What's more important is that Yuncheng is backed by Zhongtiao Mountain and the Salt Lake. Many people make a living on the salt lake and mines. If they flee to other places, they will instantly become refugees unable to make a living.
Therefore, after knowing that Yuncheng had been recaptured by the Eighth Route Army, there was no need for notification or mobilization from the Eighth Route Army. They rushed to tell each other and then returned to the city in groups.
When Chu Yunfei took Fang Ligong and several communications soldiers and guards into the city, he saw the people on both sides of the street who were building houses looking at them with wariness in their eyes, and he secretly said silently.
wonderful.
Chu Yunfei knew what the eyes of these people meant.
Yan Laoxi abandoned the people twice and lost the trust of the people, but the Eighth Route Army captured Yuncheng twice to drive away the Japanese... As long as the people are not stupid, they will definitely support the Eighth Route Army more.
Chu Yunfei knew that this was the key point. If the people supported the Eighth Route Army and opposed the Jinsui Army, then the decline of the Jinsui Army would be a matter of time.
The reason is very simple. What Yan Laoxi has been promoting to the people is that the Jinsui Army is Shanxi's army, and it protects Shanxi and the people from being bullied by outsiders.
Shanxi people once believed this.
Because most of the soldiers of the Jin-Sui Army came from Shanxi, Yan Laoxi was indeed "protecting" Shanxi before. Not only did he keep the stubborn army out of Shanxi, he also fought several battles with the Japanese.
As for retreating to Yuncheng after being unable to defeat the Japanese, the people also felt that this was excusable. After all, the stubborn army could not defeat the Japanese.
But now...
Seeing the strange and cold expressions of the people on them, Chu Yunfei instantly lost confidence in his team's ability to take back Yuncheng.
He even wanted to report directly to Yan Laoxi and ask him to give up, because even if he came back, he couldn't hold it. Yuncheng was in his hands, and the people were like frightened birds. Next time, he was afraid that the gunfire would cause chaos.
How can we fight this battle?
But when I think about it, with Yan Laoxi's personality, it is impossible to miss any opportunity to get Yuncheng back, and I will definitely not be able to convince him.
So I could only bite the bullet and continue walking to Li Yunlong's headquarters.
Li Yunlong set up his headquarters in the granary on Laobei Street.
Zhao Gang felt that this was inappropriate. Zhao Gang was not worried about being special. When the Jinsui Army was stationed in Yuncheng, they looted a lot of people's wealth and built various fortifications in the city. There were more than ten personal residences of Yan Laoxi.
many.
At this time, Yuncheng was garrisoned by the Eighth Route Army, so these buildings were naturally taken over by the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yunlong did not set up the headquarters in Yan Laoxi's spacious and well-equipped building but in an empty three-story granary. This can no longer be regarded as specialization... The Eighth Route Army does not engage in specialization. It does not mean that the Eighth Route Army cannot live in spacious buildings.
Brick houses are not necessarily small huts, but it means that officers and soldiers are equal and do not covet enjoyment.
Zhao Gang objected because he was worried that the Japanese would know the location of the granary.
Zhao Gang said this: "Anda Twenty-Three used this granary as a headquarters to escape. What if he hears the news and knows that we still use this granary as a headquarters and sends agents for a sneak attack? Or what if he sends planes to bomb?"
Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "Old Zhao, why are you worried about the Japs' agents? I'm just afraid that if he doesn't come, he won't be able to leave once he comes! As for plane bombing... Is there any place in Yuncheng that the Japs don't care about?"
Familiar? It doesn’t matter where our headquarters is located? If he comes to bomb, at worst, we will go to the basement to hide!"
When Zhao Gang heard this, he felt that it was right. If this headquarters was rejected because of worries about Japanese bombing, then there would be no place in Yuncheng to serve as the headquarters.
So I agreed with Li Yunlong’s opinion.
Not to mention, it is really convenient to use this granary as a headquarters. When the Japanese were stationed, the telephone lines leading to all directions were laid out, but they were cut or blown up during the battle.
At this time, Li Yunlong only had to connect the phone line when he came up, and the calls to everywhere were connected without much effort.
After being busy for a while, Li Yunlong rolled his eyes, walked up to Zhao Gang with a smile, and said, "Old Zhao, do I want to discuss something with you?"
Zhao Gang replied without raising his head: "Which batch of supplies are you planning on again?"
Then, without waiting for Li Yunlong to answer, Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, we are a revolutionary team and we should think about the overall situation. If we don't seize much ammunition, your "Those who seize it belongs to them" mentality is nothing.
It’s a serious problem, but this time is different. The number of bullets seized this time is at least tens of millions, and they haven’t been counted yet. If you want to take it all for yourself...that would be too much!"
"How can that be possible!" Li Yunlong turned his head and said disdainfully: "We understand this principle, what is this called... holding a treasure is a crime, right? We have harvested a lot of meat, and if we don't share it with others, then others will
I’ll give you points!”
Zhao Gang said "yo": "It's not easy. I finally said the right idiom. But it's not appropriate to say it this way. We are for the cause of the Anti-Japanese War and we are talking about unity..."
"Definitely!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said impatiently: "I don't care about the bullets. It's okay for us to keep the seventeen guns and five tanks we captured, right?"
