Jiang Cheng and others walked out of the cabin and saw several Japanese patrol boats on the river leading to the river. A patrol boat came up for a routine inspection. This was already the third inspection along the way.
Jiang Cheng saluted the visitor and asked, "What's going on? Why do you feel that the recent inspections are much stricter?"
When the Japanese soldier heard that it was in Japanese and saw that it was an officer from THT, he smiled and said, "Are you on vacation? Don't you know? We have been catching Soviet spies everywhere recently. It is said that we have caught nearly 100 spies."
There are hundreds of people, these socialist bastards know how to destroy other people's peace."
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of exposing his flaws, he said hehe, "I just went on a mission. These people are all my people. So the action has already begun. I thought it would take a few more days."
The Japanese soldier thought that Jiang Cheng had known about it for a long time, so he said a few words casually and disembarked. Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Uncle Ye, let's find a place to disembark. Since the Japanese are investigating spies, our
There will also be a risk of your identity being exposed."
Wang Jiaxiang agreed and said, "What 203 said makes sense, our safety comes first now."
Everyone found a forest and got off the boat. Zhou Weiguo pointed to the east and said, "It turns out that Commander Yang's headquarters is in Jilin. After we arrived, he changed the meeting place to the location of the Sixth Army just in case.
It's about three hundred miles away from here, and we have to walk a while."
Ye Jianying looked at the dense forest around him and said with a smile, "Good guy, there is no one to guide the three hundred miles of mountainous forest land, so the army will be dragged to death."
Wang Jiaxiang sighed and said, "This reminds me of our Jinggang Mountains. There are mountains and forests everywhere, but there are many mountains there, and here there are many forests."
Jiang Cheng pointed to the front and said, "Wang Yong, go to the front to clear the way. Weiguo, Uncle Ye and the others from the south gate are in the middle. Li Qian is behind. Everyone, be careful. The enemies here are not only the devils, but also poisonous insects and beasts. Northeast
I have heard of the tiger’s name a long time ago.”
The large forest in the northeast is boundless, but the mountains are not steep. However, the sun cannot be seen clearly under the cover of trees that have been there for countless years. In order to hide their eyesight, Jiang Cheng and others did not take a big road, so their advance was not very fast.
.
As Zhou Weiguo walked, he explained the situation in the Northeast to Jiang Cheng and others.
"Boss, I've been here for a month and I've really seen everyone. Not only are we anti-Japanese rebels, but there are also a lot of beards and even primitive tribes. Our living environment here is not good.
Zhou Weiguo said while cutting a path with a knife.
"Oh. Beards, are there many beards in the Northeast?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think of the extremely classic "Lin Hai Xue Yuan"
Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "There are so many, so many. There has never been peace here in the Northeast. When Zhang Zuolin was here, it was pretty good to overpower the heroes. After September 18, many armies were unwilling to surrender and could not defeat the Japanese, so they
They went up to the mountains to become bandits. In fact, not many of these people joined our resistance alliance. I heard Commander Yang and others estimate that there are at least a thousand people on the hills of various sizes in the entire Northeast, and the total number of guns is at least three to four hundred thousand."
Ye Jianying exclaimed, "No way, how many people are there in the Northeast? There are also the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchukuo Army here. How come there are so many hills?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but I understood it once I said it. These guns have been around since the Taiping Army period, when the Eight Banners outside the Pass entered the Pass. The Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Civil War, September 18th, all the way
After the Great War, how many guns were scattered among the people. Many of the 300,000 to 400,000 guns were from the Qing government. Although the land in the Northeast was fertile, the good land was now occupied by the Japanese. Coupled with the exploitation of the landlords, poverty
And hunger is like the devil driving countless farmers to the mountains and forests. Many young people are not willing to live a useless life, and would rather go up to the mountains to be beards and live a happy life for a few years."
Wang Jiaxiang laughed and said, "I was worried at first that we wouldn't be able to get arms and weapons. Now look, is the entire Northeast our arsenal?"
Zhou Weiguo immediately said, "Mr. Wang, don't think like this. Those beards occupy favorable terrain. It will be difficult for us to attack them. If we recruit them, they will not be willing to endure hardships with us."
Jiang Cheng said nonchalantly, "We won't let the anti-league comrades suffer anymore when we come."
The mountain road was difficult to travel, so Jiang Cheng and his party walked for two days without knowing it. Although Jiang Cheng's body was strengthened, it was nothing, but Wang Jiaxiang, Li Fuchun and his wife could no longer bear it.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo said excitedly, "We are almost there. Our secret camp is not far ahead."
The secret camp is a kind of warehouse barracks created by the Anti-Japanese Alliance for production and struggle. In these secret barracks, the Anti-Union soldiers stocked military supplies, treated the wounded, repaired firearms, collected information about the enemy, publicized the anti-Japanese war, and sewed winter clothes.
Become the most important lifeline of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Zhou Weiguo pointed to the front and said, "Look, boss, that little bit of red means there is someone there. If you don't tell me the code, they will shoot."
Jiang Cheng opened his eyes wide and finally saw a small red flag hanging on the tree. Zhou Weiguo shouted loudly, "The liquor is here!"
After a while, a voice came from over there, "Bring up the green onions!!"
Ye Jianying said with a black line on her head, "Why does this look like a bandit's den?"
Wang Jiaxiang said understandingly, "There are many green forest people in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, do you understand?"
Everyone walked into the secret camp and found that the so-called secret camp was just a straw shed made of pine branches, with only three people inside.
It was already June and July, and even in the Northeast, the temperature had reached over 20 degrees. Jiang Cheng did not appear in the Yang Zirong dress that he had imagined, but in a normal long-sleeved military uniform. If this one had four or five
Clothes with patches of different colors can still be called military uniforms.
"Boss, Captain, you are here!" The person who spoke was a soldier wearing camouflage uniforms, but he was a member of Jiang Cheng's guard. The other two anti-union soldiers heard this man who came from the military headquarters calling the young man in front of him, "Captain Dong"
, he knew it was a chief, so he quickly stood at attention and said, "Hello, sir."
Jiang Cheng chuckled and stepped aside, revealing Ye Jianying and others and said, "This is your commander. Where is your military headquarters? Take us there quickly."
The team member immediately said, "I am the one sent by Commander Yang to take care of you. Just follow me."
——Liangzihe Forest Farm
This is the headquarters of the Sixth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. There are eleven armies in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but only the first, second, third, sixth, and seventh armies are organized by the Red Party. The other armies are either green forest heroes or original soldiers.
Soldiers of the Northeastern Army.
This is a large secret camp. When Jiang Cheng walked into the woods, he suddenly felt enlightened. There were many cabins built densely in the woods. The cabins were covered with roofs made of branches. A dozen or so people were dressed slightly neatly.
A number of officers were already standing outside the secret camp waiting for the arrival of Jiang Cheng and his party. Their situation could be seen from their clothes. No one's clothes were truly the same, and their faces were all dishonest.
, some people are slightly floating when they walk, it is easier to believe that these people are more like a group of refugees than an army.
The leader was an extremely majestic middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he saw Jiang Cheng and his group, he immediately walked forward excitedly.
"Are you Comrade Ma Shangde? I have met you, do you still remember me?" Wang Jiaxiang also stepped forward and asked excitedly.
Ma Shangde is Yang Jingyu's real name. Yang Jingyu can't remember how long it has been since he heard someone call him this name.
"Comrade Wang Jiaxiang, I finally look forward to your arrival. I, I have been looking forward to it every day and night for the past few years, just hoping that someone from the central government will come to guide us in our fight against Japan." Yang Jingyu said, his eyes red, he
He went to the Northeast in 1929 and formed an anti-Japanese team in 1932. He has stayed in the Northeast for nine years and fought in the war for six years. Since the Red Army's Long March, Yang Jingyu has lost contact with the central government for a long time.
The first time he sent people to return to the pass through the Soviet Union to find the Central Committee, but they were blocked by the Soviet Union, and even an elite cavalry team was annexed by the Soviet Union. Yang Jingyu could only swallow his anger and dare not speak out.
At this time, a long-faced officer excitedly pointed at Wang Jiaxiang and Ye Jianying and said, "Two old classmates, I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this."
Ye Jianying looked at it and smiled and said, "Shao Huang, you are here too. It has been ten years. You don't seem to have changed much."
The person who spoke was Zhou Baozhong. Like Wang Jiaxiang, he had studied in the Soviet Union and was the commander of the Fifth Army. When the Soviet Union repeatedly asked the Anti-Japanese Alliance to enter the Soviet Union and merge into the Red Army, it was he, Li Zhaolin, Feng Zhongyun and others who strongly opposed it, which led to the Anti-Japanese War.
The Union will not disappear in the torrent of Soviet steel.
Yang Jingyu no longer doubted whether these people were really from the Central Committee, and said quickly, "Quick, go in and sit down and talk. Comrade Zhou Weiguo, I'm really sorry, I've always been a little suspicious of you."
Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "It's nothing, this is normal. After all, our environment is too special."
Sitting down on the wooden chair, Wang Jiaxiang said, "Let me introduce you first. After all, some comrades don't know us yet. I am Wang Jiaxiang, the current member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. This is Comrade Ye Jianying, the founder of Huangpu Military Academy."
One is proficient in guerrilla tactics and the former deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. This Comrade Li Fuchun has rich experience in organization and logistics economic management. This is Sister Cai, the wife of Comrade Li Fuchun. She studied in Europe and is good at political work. This one is
It’s Comrade 203.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "My identity is quite special. I hope as few people know about it as possible."
Zhou Baozhong, Yang Jingyu and others thought Jiang Cheng was doing intelligence work, so they nodded indifferently to show their understanding.
Yang Jingyu explained the people on his side and said, "I, Yang Jingyu, won't go into details. This is Xia Yunjie, commander of the Sixth Army. This is Zhou Baozhong, commander of the Fifth Army. This is Wei Zhengmin, our political department."
Director, this is Zhang Shouzhen, director of the Political Department of the Sixth Army. Our Anti-Japanese Alliance has a total of eleven armies, divided into three groups, and now there are more than 20,000 people in total."
After the introduction, Yang Jingyu couldn't wait to ask, "I wonder how the central government is doing now? We can only hear some rumors here. Where are the Japanese? What is the purpose of the central government sending you here? Do they need us?"
Contain the Japanese here?"
Wang Jiaxiang quickly raised his palms and said, "Don't be anxious. I will tell you slowly that the Japanese army is already attacking Wuhan. The National Army and the Japanese army are anxious. Our Red Army is now fighting guerrilla warfare in North China and Jiangnan. Our strength has exceeded that of the Jinggangshan period."
At its peak, we now have more than 500,000 regular troops in northern China alone."
"Great." Yang Jingyu waved his arms excitedly.
Wang Jiaxiang continued, "And we also have our own factory. I believe we will be slowly self-sufficient in the near future. As for our coming this time, one is to re-establish the connection between the Northeast and the Central Committee, and the other is to better command the Anti-Japanese Alliance."
The third purpose of conducting operations behind enemy lines is to increase our strength in resisting the alliance."
Wei Zhengmin was a scholar with eyes. He asked curiously, "I wonder how much funding the central government has brought this time? When will the large troops arrive?"
Wang Jiaxiang smiled and shook his head and said, "There are only a few of us. We have some money, but not much. But don't be disappointed. We have other support. You will know when the time comes."
Yang Jingyu said at this time, "Everyone, Comrade Wang Jiaxiang is a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He comes to us to guide our work. I think my position as the commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance will be given to Comrade Wang Jiaxiang?"
Zhou Baozhong, Wei Zhengmin and others were all from the Red Party. They felt that such a thing was extremely normal and immediately applauded. Unexpectedly, a man came from outside and heard this sentence and immediately shouted excitedly, "No, absolutely."
No, Commander, don't do anything stupid, we are fighting to the death, you can't just knock us off at once."
Jiang Cheng frowned and looked, but there were two young officers. One had a gloomy face and looked no more than twenty years old. The other had a beard and was tall and thick, but his eyes revealed shrewdness.
Yang Jingyu saw this and shouted quickly, "This is a military-level meeting. Who let you in? Cheng Bin, get out!"
Cheng Bin? Jiang Cheng immediately remembered this person. It was this person who rebelled against the Japanese and led the Japanese to continuously pursue and intercept him, putting Yang Jingyu in a desperate situation.
Cheng Bin gave Wang Jiaxiang and others a vicious look and left angrily, but the young man remained motionless.
"Xiufeng, please go out too!" Yang Jingyu changed his tone, revealing a kind of kindness in his tone.
Zhang Xiufeng, the guard platoon leader who was raised as a son by Yang Jingyu, betrayed Yang Jingyu and exposed Yang Jingyu's position, causing Yang Jingyu to be surrounded.
The corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth raised slightly, he didn't expect to see two of the four traitors so soon.
Yang Jingyu said with some embarrassment, "Cheng Bin grew up with me, and his political consciousness is a bit low. I hope the leader won't mind."
Wang Jiaxiang waved his hand and said, "If he doesn't say it, I have to say that we have just arrived in the Northeast and don't understand the humanities and things here. You still have to resist the burden of the Northeast Allied Forces. This is also Chairman Mao's intention."
Then Wang Jiaxiang took out a letter and handed it to Yang Jingyu.
After Yang Jingyu finished reading, he sighed and said, "If the organization trusts me so much, then I will reluctantly take this position for a while. Everyone, I think it is like this. Comrade Ye Jianying has been working as a staff officer for a long time and will be the chief of general staff of our Anti-Japanese Alliance."
, I think Comrade Wang Jiaxiang can also serve as the political commissar of our Anti-Japanese League, and Comrade Li Fuchun can be the director of our General Logistics Department, what do you think?"
Wei Zhengmin was several levels behind Wang Jiaxiang in terms of level. If he had any objections, he clapped his hands and applauded, and he was temporarily passed.
Ye Jianying stood up and said, "Everyone, let me talk about our plan now. In the next month, we will gather all the troops scattered in various places and retrain the troops. Our soldiers will fight individually whether they are willing or independent."
After being tempered by such a long period of fighting, I believe that I am extremely good, but I think there are still some shortcomings in tactics. In the next three months, our task is to train troops."
Yang Jingyu couldn't help but asked in embarrassment, "Where does the food needed for this training come from? Besides, it is easy for us to concentrate our troops and be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army. In addition, we have no ammunition for the soldiers to train."
Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "Two days, if Commander Yang still objects in two days, how about this proposal be invalidated?"
Yang Jingyu looked at Wang Jiaxiang curiously. Wang Jiaxiang touched his chin and said with a smile, "203 is special in the party. You should know that our party's confidentiality system is divided into three levels, but now there is a fourth level, which is above top secret."
There is absolutely no level. This is specially set up for 203. To put it simply, these things have never happened and we will never admit it. That’s all I can say.”
