    On December 12, it was the middle of winter, with low snow clouds and floating haze.

    Three people wearing navy blue cotton robes and soap-colored felt hats, all dressed as running from the dock in northern Jiangsu Province, came to a remote village in Qianshe Township in the cold wind that came and went.  Zhou Zhizhen, Secretary of the CPC Wubei County Party Committee, and Wang Bicheng, Chief of Staff of the Second Regiment of the New S Army, stood in awe and paid tribute when they saw the three of them from a distance.

    Seeing the two of them hesitating to speak, the leader waved his hand, "It's cold outside, let's talk after we go in."

    They obviously didn¡¯t come here for the first time, so they walked straight to a four-a-side house on the east side of the ancestral hall in the west of the village without the need for two people to guide them.  It was already dark, and bright lights could be seen from a distance. Under the lights was a sheet of steaming water vapor, and the water was misty. A figure swayed from time to time, and some villagers and soldiers in military uniforms came in and out of the door from time to time, some carrying weapons.  Some were carrying water bottles, some were carrying clay pots, some were holding wooden basins, and some were carrying buckets, with thick mist surrounding them.

    "Aunt Liu, has the water boiled?" a New S Army soldier shouted loudly while carrying a bucket.

    "It's open, it's open," the shaking figure responded in thick Wu dialect.

    After a burst of water mist dissipated, a middle-aged woman appeared under the light of the hanging lantern.  She is 1.65 meters tall, with her hair tied back in a round high bun, which is a typical Sunan "top bun".

    Wang Bicheng quickly looked around, turned around and ordered: "Platoon leader, please be alert."

    "Yes." A figure emerged from the darkness, taking the soldiers who had just carried water, and rushed towards the entrance of the village.

    "Aunt Liu, we are here again."

    The loud Sichuan sound made Aunt Liu, who was rolling up her sleeves, uncovering the lid of the wooden pot and scooping out water with a copper spoon, startled. Then she dropped what she was doing and said excitedly: "Chief, you are finally here. Sit down come inside."  Sit down and I'll make you some hot tea."

    ¡°Then let¡¯s have a pot first.¡±

    Chen Y smiled, took off the money and took out the money from his pocket. Aunt Liu quickly declined, "Commander Chen, you fought the Japanese and made great achievements with your hard work, how can I accept your money?"

    "Auntie, our New S Army won't take a stitch from the masses. Don't refuse, just accept it." Chen Y forced the money into her hand, pointed at the stove behind him and said with a smile: "The water is boiling, tea money is here."  I¡¯ve given it to you too, please bring us some tea.¡±

    The water on the stove started to boil, and the steam gradually rose up, blurring Aunt Liu's face. She held the banknotes in her hands and looked at their backs as they entered, and waves surged in her heart.

    "Secretary Zhou, please tell us the situation first."

    As soon as he walked into the simple tea room, Chen Y seemed to be a different person. Zhou Zhizhen calmed down and reported anxiously: "At ten o'clock on the night of the 9th, as soon as the ** brigade loaded the supplies on the ship, they were informed that  The Hengshan Squadron of the Puppet Wubei Police Station was surrounded. After two hours of fierce fighting, the whole squadron was wiped out and all the supplies were robbed. Chief, I didn't do my job well. Please punish me."

    In the past six months, "Jiang's Anti-Japanese Army" has been galloping across Jiangsu, Changchun, and Thailand with great achievements. The troops went deep into Bugang Cunbang to hold mass meetings to publicize anti-Japanese resistance, expand anti-Japanese armed forces, and organize anti-Japanese groups, self-defense forces, Peasant Rescue Associations, and Youth Rescue Associations.  The Women's Rescue Society and the Women's Rescue Society cooperated with the troops to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, passed on information, rescued the wounded, raised food and wages, and rushed to make military shoes, creating a scene of anti-Japanese war.

    From less than 700 people when we first entered the East Road, it has grown to 6,000 people now.  Seized in previous battles, the tattered weapons in their hands were replaced by all "38-type" and "Czech-style". Many squads were equipped with light machine guns, and some companies were even equipped with heavy machine guns. The "people" that Chen Y had previously requested  ", guns, money" have all been implemented.

    However, the good times did not last long, and they soon attracted the attention of the Japanese army in Jiangnan and the dissatisfaction of the Third Theater of Japan.  There were heavy Japanese troops pressing down on the border in the east, and constant friction between the Zhongyi and Kuomintang forces in the south. In order to preserve his strength, Chen Y made a decisive decision and decided to send his troops north to develop in northern Jiangsu where the Japanese army and the Kuomintang were weak.

    In fact, as early as mid-August, he ventured across the river to Taizhou to visit Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang, the chief and deputy guerrilla commanders of the Sulu-Anhui Border Region, and had initial contact with the "Er Li".  In order to open the passage to the north as soon as possible, he once again went to Taizhou with Guan W Wei and Chen Tsheng, deputy director of the "Strong Control" Political Department.  Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Wubei, they heard that 5,000 mortar shells and 20,000 box ammunition that Li Mingyang's department had asked the New S Army to transport from Wannan to Taizhou had been robbed.

    That batch of ammunition was given to Li Mingyang by Wang Jingjiu of the Third War Zone. Whether it arrived safely was directly related to whether the northward passage could be opened smoothly. Chen T, deputy director of the Political Department, became anxious and asked in a stern tone: "Secretary Zhou, what are you doing?  How can you be so careless? You are about to cross the river when you are entrusted with loyalty. How do you ask the commander to explain it to others? "

    "Reporting to Director Chen, in fact, the local comrades cannot be entirely blamed."

    Wang Bicheng couldn¡¯t sit still, and immediately stood up and said: ¡°Since the troops of Wang Puppet Chen Jizu entered the army, the situation in Wubei has changed.Big changes.  In just two and a half months, he successively recruited more than a dozen local armed forces, including the remnants of the Wujin Self-Defense Regiment Zhang Shaohua and Dadao Hui, and actually controlled Henglin, Hengshanqiao, Sanhekou, Zhenglu, Jiaoxi, Xin'an, and Cuiqiao.  , Dongqing and Furong and other more than 20 large and small towns.

    With the assistance of the Wubei Police Station, formerly known as the Dadao Hui, in the name of maintaining local security, we reorganized the pre-Japanese security chiefs, armor chiefs, young men training centers and young men training classes, and took turns keeping vigil and sentry in the local area.  The activities were difficult to carry out, and it was difficult for every move to escape their eyes and ears.  "

    "Isn't he just a dumpling?" Chen Y got angry and slammed the table, "Wang Bicheng, what do you eat for your second dumpling?"

    "It is indeed a group."

    Wang Bicheng nodded and said helplessly: "But this airport defense regiment has five battalions, each with more than 1,200 people, more than our regiment, and they are well-trained and well-equipped. Although they are divided  They are stationed in ten villages and towns, but they are all in contact with each other and can respond at any time, giving you no chance to defeat each one. In addition, there are nearly three thousand fake policemen working as a conspiracy.

    More importantly, he is not like Zhang Shaohua who burned, killed, looted and made people angry.  They also follow our example of reducing rents and interest rates, and loudly promote the idea of ??"scorched earth in the war of resistance, and the scorched earth is China's land."  If you resist the Japanese army, you will die as a Chinese.¡±  The consciousness of the fellow villagers was not high, and at the same time, the Japanese army had indeed not come again since he was stationed, so it was easy to gain a foothold.  "

    With five battalions, each battalion has more than 1,200 people, and including nearly 3,000 policemen, the infamous Chen Jizu Department actually has nearly 10,000 guns!  Chen Y realized the seriousness of the problem and said worriedly: "Comrades, Yangzhong is the springboard for our army to advance north, and Wubei is the springboard for the springboard. This Chen Jizu must attract our attention."

    Zhou Zhizhen was so anxious that he couldn't help blurting out: "Chief, why don't we bring the main force over and severely attack his arrogance."

    Before Chen Y could speak, Guan W Wei shook his head and said: "To the south is the Beijing-Shanghai Line, which is heavily guarded by the Japanese army, and to the north is the Yangtze River. The strategic space is small and there is almost no room for maneuver. Even if we mobilize all the main forces, we will not be able to fight.  "

    "Since we can't fight, it seems we can only talk to them."

    Seeing the commander staring closely at him, Wang Bicheng hurriedly explained: "In fact, comrades from the underground party have had contact with them, and they have also hinted that as long as they do not operate in Wubei, they will not interfere with each other. In view of the huge disparity in power between the enemy and ourselves,  The mass base is weak, and we have not held any public activities in Wubei for the past two and a half months, and the reason why the supplies were robbed may have a lot to do with us not saying hello in advance. "

    "Then why not do the work well in advance?"

    ¡°More than five hundred loads of supplies, the quantity is so large, we don¡¯t dare!¡±

    "Why don't people know if you don't say hello?" Chen Y gritted his teeth angrily, "In a single thought, the entire army of the Communist Party of China, which had launched a struggle to reduce rents and interest rates, and to detect and crack down on local bullies and traitors, was wiped out. You are the sinners of history!  "

    "Reporting to the head, the task is given to our Wubei County Committee. I am the secretary of the county committee and should take full responsibility. I have nothing to do with Chief of Staff Wang."

    "The second group was blocked in their response and almost got surrounded. I am also responsible."

    "Okay, okay, now is not the time to hold people accountable. The top priority is how to rescue the captured comrades and get back the looted materials. You are familiar with the situation, so please share your opinions."

    Zhou Zhizhen took responsibility for the incident because of himself and said resolutely: "Chief, I will talk to them, but you must move as soon as possible, and nothing will happen again."

    "Transfer, where should I transfer?" Chen Y's face straightened up and he said extremely seriously: "I'll just sit here and wait. I won't go anywhere."

    Chen Jizu¡¯s troops were very close to the front house. Guan Wei did not dare to let him stay here for a long time, so he quickly advised: "Commander, let¡¯s go to Yangzhong first, so as not to distract Comrade Zhizhen and Comrade Bicheng."
