    Compared with the commander-in-chief who was more worried about the direction of the anti-Japanese situation in Xiajiang and East Manchuria after the failure of the Seventh Army, after seeing these people who broke out and rushed all the way to Ning'an from Fujin and Tongjiang on the Sino-Soviet border  After seven officers and soldiers, Yang Zhen felt bitter rather than shocked.

    Looking at these naked soldiers who were even more embarrassed than the remnants of the Third Division of the Fifth Army led by the commander-in-chief when they retreated to the secret camp of Lao Heidingzi, Yang Zhen felt a little relieved, but he still shook his head and sighed.

    However, the commander died, and the remaining troops of the Seventh Army were no more than a hundred people. It can almost be said to be a failure, whether it was for the Seventh Army, the Second Route Army, or even the overall situation of the resistance against Japan in the entire East Manchuria region.  , all can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

    But the only one who benefited seemed to be the deceased acting commander of the Seventh Army.  At least this time he wouldn't be like what later generations would know. Except for a few people involved, even their superiors were confused.

    According to what Yang Zhen knew in later generations, the acting commander neither rebelled nor survived, nor did he die on the battlefield like most other anti-Union generals.  But later died in the hands of his own people.  He became the second military-level cadre to be wrongly killed in the history of the Anti-Japanese War.

    Although the reason for killing him has always been vague, according to later research on changing families and calling beasts, it may have something to do with the continuous internal strife of the Seventh Army since its establishment.

    What happened in the middle? Because most of the people involved have died for various reasons, and most of the survivors are Koreans. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, most of them returned to China and held high positions. The real situation has always been unclear.  Even the scholars who claim to have studied the Anti-League the most are unable to give a real answer for the time being.

    Although the Seventh Army is now like this, it is a serious loss to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War.  But no matter what, for a soldier, dying on the battlefield is still better than dying at the hands of one's own people.

    Yang Zhen could not yet estimate how much harm the loss of most of the main force of the Seventh Army would bring to the anti-Japanese situation in the Xiajiang area.  What he knew was that his plan was to first go south to the territory of Dunhua, fight a few battles to mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops to blockade troops, and then move east to the Xiajiang area to fight with the Second Route Army's uncoordinated operations in the Xiajiang area. As the Seventh Army  The main force has been severely damaged and can only change.  If we advance eastward according to the original plan, we will have to rely on ourselves to support the situation in Xiajiang and fight alone.

    After sending off the commander-in-chief, who seemed worried because the Seventh Army, the last remaining main force of the Second Route Army, was severely damaged, went back to rest, and repeatedly asked Li Yanping to accompany him well, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, who stayed in the war room, and came to report  Peng Dingjie was relatively speechless about the material preparations before the war.

    After a long silence, Guo Bingxun looked at Yang Zhen's somewhat depressed mood, hesitated slightly and said: "Captain, what do you think we should do next? We should follow the original plan and continue to advance eastward to the next level after mobilizing the Japanese and puppet troops."  Jiang area? If we continue to advance eastward, commander, with the loss of the Seventh Army, our army has lost all support points.|"

    "Without the cooperation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, not only do we not know the enemy's situation, we can only fight alone. If we make a mistake? Commander, please think twice. These more than a thousand people are our foundation and our last capital."

    After hearing Guo Bingxun¡¯s worries, Yang Zhen stood up and walked to the map, stared at it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: | Lao Guo, my opinion is whether to act or follow the original plan.  First, we went south, fought several battles in Dunhua territory, and tore apart the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops. Then the main force of our army moved eastward and jumped to the east of Mudanjiang.  "

    "We can't be trapped in these deep mountains and old forests for a long time. We have to jump out eventually. The army needs to develop and grow, which is simply impossible to achieve here. Even if there are still anti-Union troops active in the Xiajiang area, according to the Anti-Union  Judging from the current situation, we mainly need to rely on ourselves and fight independently."

    "To be honest, Lao Guo, the current situation is not optimistic for us. It can even be said to be a dilemma. After the Japanese and puppet troops complete their sweep of Dunhua territory, sooner or later, their attention will turn to the Ning'an area. Instead of passively waiting for the day  The puppet troops are coming, so we might as well jump out and look for fighters."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen slammed his fist on the map on the wall and said: "To find the chance of winning in a difficult situation, for us, we can only take a gamble. If we win, the army will grow stronger. If we lose, we will lose everything."  .Compared with our comrades who died in the concentration camp, we survived for half a year, which is enough."

    Regarding Yang Zhen's somewhat desperate answer, Guo Bingxun was silent for a moment and said: "I also think that instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to fight. However, without the support of intelligence, our operations will be greatly constrained, just like a blind man touching an elephant. No  Without reliable intelligence support, our rash attack on the Xiajiang area was a narrow escape from death. Commander, you really don¡¯t remember the real reason why the Second Route Army failed in its Western Expedition.Because?  "

    "Why don't you remember, but the current situation has no way out for us. Only by fighting out can we develop and strengthen ourselves. If we don't leave, we can only stay in these deep mountains and old forests and wait for death. The Japanese and puppet troops are completing their attack on northern Dunhua  After the clearing, we will soon turn our attention to the southern mountains of Ning'an. As for intelligence, now we can only rely on your radio station and Li Mingrui. Especially for tactical reconnaissance, we can only rely on them."

    After hesitating for a while, Yang Zhen finally made up his mind and said: "Lao Guo, from now on, these radio stations of yours must be turned on 24 hours a day. Regardless of whether they can decipher the telegrams of the Japanese and puppet troops, the relationship between all the Japanese and puppet troops  All wireless communications must be intercepted as much as possible.¡±

    "In addition, seize the time to communicate with Li Mingrui. Regardless of whether they can join Huang Dali and others, within three days, I must have a clear understanding of the enemy situation in northern Dunhua. Tell them that in two days, all troops will move south."

    Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said: "If we want to break the current predicament, we can only jump out of the inside and fight on the outside. For us, there is no way out. Whether we succeed or fail, we can only give it a try.  No matter how dangerous the situation is before us, we can only move forward without hesitation. People will live if they move, and trees will die if they move. If we go out, there may be a way out. One word, fight."

    Regarding Yang Zhen¡¯s idea, which was close to a dead end, Guo Bingxun knew that it was not Yang Zhen who was taking risks, but that his side had no way out.  Surviving in a dangerous situation is the only option this force has at the moment.

    This time Li Mingrui¡¯s call back did not disappoint Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun.  Before Guo Bingxun could send Yang Zhen's order to Li Mingrui, the telegram of his report arrived first.

    After reading Li Mingrui's detailed telegram, the stern expression on Yang Zhen's face eased a little, and he handed the telegram to Guo Bingxun and said: "Tell the troops to prepare for battle. Tomorrow, in addition to leaving two platoons and the old man,  After Peng was left behind, they all went south to fight."

    As the director of the political department who assists Li Yanping in political work and is in charge of logistics, Peng Dingjie is still a little immature in terms of experience, but he has stepped into the responsibilities of a qualified political worker.  Except for rare occasions, he never interfered with the work of military chiefs.

    But after hearing Yang Zhen¡¯s plan, Peng Dingjie expressed fierce opposition.  In his opinion, if the battle south to Dunhua can still be said to be a helpless move to break the predicament, there is not much difference between the troops jumping down to the river to fight and seeking death.

    During the Western Expedition of the Fourth Army, except for a few remaining men, the entire army was destroyed.  Most of the five armies were sacrificed, a few rebelled, some lost contact, and the remaining troops could not even maintain the situation.  Now the remaining troops of the Seventh Army have suffered heavy losses. Once the troops leave the river, they can be said to be fighting alone.

    With more than a thousand troops facing tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in the Xiajiang area who are well-equipped and highly mobile, what does it mean for this force? Even if they are not very proficient in military affairs, they have also polished their skills in the Anti-Japanese War.  For Peng Dingjie, who has been here for several years, he also knows it very well.

    Neither Yang Zhen nor Guo Bingxun expected that Peng Dingjie, who had always been gentle and almost never interfered in the actions of military chiefs, would oppose this action so fiercely.

    Looking at Peng Dingjie who looked unexpected, Yang Zhen smiled helplessly, handed over a glass of water and said: "Lao Peng, tell me what you think, and stay calm."

    "Captain, I don't have any objections to your decision to go south to fight in Dunhua for the first battle. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, high mountains and dense forests, which is very suitable for us to defeat the strong with the weak. But after that, I have some different opinions on moving eastward."

    "The Second Route Army in the Xiajiang area suffered heavy losses and has almost no combat power. As we advance eastward, it can be said that we have lost all possible support points. Everything, including supplies and the enemy situation, is unfamiliar to us. Instead of taking the risk of attacking the Xiajiang area  , it is better to march north and join the Third Route Army."

    "Although the situation of the Third Route Army is still unclear, the Three Route Army has always been the absolute main force in North Manchuria and East Manchuria. Whether it is the number of people, combat effectiveness, or military strength, it ranks first among the anti-alliance armies. The combat effectiveness of the Sixth Army is also  Not low. It turns out that the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army has laid a pretty good foundation for the Third Route Army."

    "We march north to join the Third Route Army. We can cooperate and support each other. At least we can avoid falling into the situation of fighting alone. Commander, Lao Guo, although I am not good at military affairs, I can also see that at this time we  Advancing eastward can be said to be a dead move. It can even be described as a narrow escape from death."

    Regarding Peng Dingjie's suggestion of not advancing eastward but instead advancing northward after going south, Yang Zhen thought for a long time, but Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Old Peng, your suggestion of advancing northward and relying on the Third Route Army to rely on each other is a good idea. But in practice,  The possibility is not high.¡±

    "Moving north, let's not talk about the enemy situation along the way. Even the exact location of the Third Route Army is not clear to us. If we can't find the Third Route Army, we are marching northThe great advantage loses its meaning.  The Japanese and puppet troops launched a massive siege in the Xiajiang area. Can they let go of the Third Route Army operating in northern Manchuria?  In order to break the encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops, the Second Route Army marched south and then west. Who can guarantee that the Third Route Army will not be diverted in the face of severe enemy conditions?  "

    "It seems that we have lost all the support points in our eastward advance, but this is our greatest advantage. Now most of the anti-alliance forces in the Xiajiang area have failed, and a small part has been transferred. It is difficult for the remaining troops to form a decisive attack on the enemy.  Any threat. The Japanese and puppet troops¡¯ suppression of the Xiajiang area in 38 years was a great victory for them.¡±

    "Under the circumstances that the Second Route Army has suffered heavy losses and lost combat effectiveness, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese and puppet troops, the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely relax their vigilance in the Xiajiang area. With this premise, we can at least act  In the early stages, the resistance will be reduced a lot.¡±

    "Also, the Commander-in-Chief will always be with us. With the Commander-in-Chief as a living map of the Xiajiang area, our actions will be much more convenient. At the very least, it will not be a problem to find one or two footholds in the dense forest.  .¡±

    "There is another point, which is also the most fundamental reason why I insist on marching eastward to the lower Yangtze River. Although the current situation in East Manchuria is very serious, its geographical location is a fatal point for us. It is connected to the Third Route Army in the north and can support it in the south.  The First Army is the connection point for the activities of all the anti-alliance departments east of the entire China Eastern Railway."

    "Without the loss of the Third Route Army in Eastern Manchuria, Northern Manchuria, and the First Route Army in Southern Manchuria, the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance will be completely cut off. All the departments of the Anti-Japanese Alliance can only fall into a situation of fighting on their own. This situation will not affect the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak.  Said it would be a fatal blow."

    "Lao Peng, our focus cannot be limited to ourselves or one place, we must have an overall view. The Third Route Army is a whole and needs mutual cooperation. Without Dongman, the Third Route Army, which is already very poorly connected with each other,  The continuity will be completely cut off. So no matter what, we must move eastward."

    "Lao Peng, don't worry too much. Although most of the main force of the Second Route Army has failed, I think there should still be scattered troops in the Xiajiang area that are still fighting. Also, the Fifth Army led by the Commander of the Fifth Army  The separated troops should still be hiding in the Xiajiang area. And hasn¡¯t the Fifth Division of the Second Army been active in the Jingbo Lake area of ??Ning¡¯an? So when we march eastward to the Xiajiang area, we are not fighting alone.¡±

    "This time you stay in the secret camp. First, all the remaining supplies after we took them away are dispersed and hidden. The location can only be controlled by you. You must keep it secret. In addition, be ready to accept the wounded. Let's go south to fight.  , when fighting regular Japanese troops, there will inevitably be wounded. But we cannot carry too many wounded when we march eastward, and all the wounded must be sent back to Lao Heidingzi for recuperation."

    "I don't know how long we will continue to fight this time as we move south and east, so I can't leave you with too many troops. There are only two platoons, and I will leave you with a machine gun squad, two machine guns and a  mortar."

    "You must pay attention to safety and put up more guard posts, especially to prevent the enemy from conducting aerial reconnaissance. Once an abnormal situation occurs, but you are too persistent, when it is impossible to do, except the necessary supplies, blow up all the supplies that cannot be carried  After the destruction, quickly advance northward and join the Third Route Army."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen walked up to Peng Dingjie and said: "Old Peng, after the main force leaves, the secret camp will be handed over to you. After joining Li Mingrui, I will mobilize Huang Dali and two other teams to come back to cooperate with you. You must pay attention  Safety. Remember, when things are impossible, don¡¯t insist. Safety is your first priority. The night is long and there are many wolves, so be careful.¡±

    Listening to Yang Zhen¡¯s words, Peng Dingjie knew that Yang Zhen had already made up his mind and it would be difficult to change it, so he shook his head and stopped talking, no longer insisting on his opinion.  He knew that he was not a military cadre and his military ability was far inferior to that of Yang and Guo.  Therefore, although he was full of worries about Yang Zhen's next eastward advance, Peng Dingjie did not interfere with Yang Zhen's military determination.

    After hearing Yang Zhen's last words, Peng Dingjie, who knew that they would be apart for a long time this time, took Yang Zhen's hand and said, "You too. If the situation in the Xiajiang area is irreversible, don't hold on.  Whether you go south or north, there is a way to survive.¡±
