Chapter 1 Asking for Love (Seventh Middle School) "The key is that there is no need to fight." Seeing the master's face with a hint of reluctance, Peng Xuewen added in a low voice, "Our military command has developed so fast in the past two years, everywhere. The total number of Loyalty Salvation Army members totaled more than 200,000. In addition, Boss Dai also joined forces with Du Yuesheng from the beach to do business, and joined forces with Long Yun to pour rubber and gasoline into the country, creating a piecemeal and profitable industry. Dui, it can be said that apart from not having our own arsenal, the strength of our military commander is not much worse than that of Long Yun and Liu Xiang. Although being strong is strong, it may not be a good thing in the eyes of interested people. " "You. It means that it will offend the chairman of the committee." Ma Hansan's heart twitched when he heard this, and he turned his head and stared into Peng Xuewen's eyes to ask. Peng Xuewen smiled and shook his head slightly, "I don't know if it's a taboo or not. I just know that the Military Commission has forced people like Liu Xiang and Sun Lianzhong to scream in order to unify the government orders in the past two years. You can't just do it all at once. , but the other end allowed our military commander to remain strong." "This", Ma Hansan rubbed his hands in frustration, "We, we are increasing our strength to better deal with the little devils." "Sun Lianzhong also defeated all the old men in Taierzhuang. Well, people like He Sen and Li Jiayu have never been behind others in a battle." Peng Xuewen continued to sneer and shake his head, "Besides, the little devil has already used his strength to the maximum. If he continues like this, he will be kicked sooner or later. On the day I left China, I felt that no matter who was sitting in the position of chairman, he would not tolerate such a huge military commander." "That's true," Ma Hansan nodded and acknowledged the competition. The next military commander was even more uninterested in the game. However, after all, Dai Li had been kind to him. At this time, he couldn't hide and not obey Boss Dai's call. After thinking for a while, he whispered again, "I'm going After that, as I said just now, I just don¡¯t argue with them about anything. Anyway, Boss Dai has always thought that I am a big boss. If he hadn¡¯t been forced into chaos this time, he wouldn¡¯t have suddenly thought of me. "It's good if Master can grasp the situation." Peng Xuewen nodded in agreement, "Boss Dai is not that weak. At least in the past two or three years, it has not been easy for others to replace him." "You know everything." Ma Hansan glared at Peng Xuewen again and responded angrily, "You told me to use my discretion. When it's your turn, why don't you know how to use it? Boss Dai said on the phone just now that I hope I can assign you." You can send me as far as you want. If you don¡¯t want to see your name again within two years, you can tell me where I should send you.¡± ¡°Master, that¡¯s not it.¡± Now, it was Peng Xuewen¡¯s turn to be confused. He raised his head and asked pitifully for permission. "Boss Dai said it himself. If you don't believe me, use your own connections to find out whether he said these things." Ma Hansan turned his head away and ignored Peng Xuewen's pitiful appearance. Deep down in his heart, he was really reluctant to leave this person. The closed disciple rushed too far, "You go out and hide first. I guess Boss Dai is also annoyed by you and wants to teach you a lesson. Besides, our military command has been unstable recently. If you stay away, others will at least "I won't hold on to your pigtails." "Then, after I leave, who will help you take care of the affairs of our Chasui Station, and also the affairs of the Jin Army. After I leave, who will help you. Take responsibility" Peng Xuewen certainly believed that his master would not deliberately lie to him, he sighed and asked in a low voice. "Let Secretary Liu do it first. Although he is not as capable as you, at least he won't cause trouble for me." Ma Hansan also sighed with him, with a look of helplessness on his face, "You go to Blackstone Village again?" Let's take a side trip. Fu Zuoyi got a taste of the sweetness from the last Wuyuan Battle and is planning to build a guerrilla zone behind the little devil. The area around Heishizhai happens to be one of the guerrilla zones he plans to focus on developing. The Japanese troops in the city have just been captured. The Ninety-Third Regiment beat them half to death and have no energy to go out to clean up. Zhou Heitan's independent battalion outside the city has owed you a favor. You can draw one from the loyal and national salvation army you collected in Cha'nan. The elites were brought there, and then Zhou Heitan was asked to help, and with the help of Fu Zuoyi's department, the Chabei Special Administrative Office was established. "Although he knew that the master was trying to protect himself, Peng Xuewen still felt unwilling to do so. , indeed, he saved Fatty Zhang and violated the internal discipline of the military command, but after all, he also saved Fu's 93rd Regiment, which was an elite group that had returned from hundreds of battles. Regardless of the size of the troops or the actual combat effectiveness, They are all far superior to the Blackstone guerrillas. The two compensations still outweigh the faults. It¡¯s okay if the military commander doesn¡¯t give him a medal. He can¡¯t even deprive himself of the power to work normally and directly kick him to the Blackstone Village. Why should I be an administrative specialist in name only in this shitty place? "Obey the order." Ma Hansan suddenly turned cold again and shouted loudly, "Don't be lawless just because I am your master." After scolding me, I felt that I couldn't bear it anymore, so I sighed and continued: "Boss Dai wants me to deal with you, so I have to show it to him. Don't worry, Master, I won't be willing to leave you there forever. "Bian, when no one pays attention anymore, I will get you back quietly, and we will continue to work together to deal with the little devil." "Oh." Peng Xuewen nodded in agreement, still looking listless. . "Cheer up, don't act like you lost tens of thousands of dollars." Ma Hansan put his arm around his shoulders and continued to comfort him in a low voice, "I didn't demote you, so let's do it. In view of your mission this time, It's quite special, and you have to deal with Fu Zuoyi's people. I'll report to Boss Dai and raise your military rank to lieutenant colonel. In addition, isn't your good brother Zhang Songling also there? After you go, you can start cooperating with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party nearby. If you can bring him back to our side, I guess it will be difficult for our boss Dai to give you a military medal. " "I will try my best. "The last sentence cheered up Peng Xuewen. Going to Blackstone Village is indeed far away from the front line of espionage work, but life there will still be exciting. In my memory, I have been the happiest in the three years since I became an agent. For a period of time, I spent time with Fatty Zhang, Zhou Heitan, Zhao Tianlong and others at Heishizhai, digging pits for the little devils to jump into. There was no need to consider the differences and disagreements between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, no need to consider who was the regular army and who was the horse thief. There is no need to think about what the future will be like for each other. All you need to do is fight the little devils openly. Other than that, there is nothing else to focus on. "Then leave early. Fu Zuoyi has already begun to deploy troops and generals. If you go too late, you will become a fruit picker. Even if Zhou Heitan doesn't mind you picking, but he can do it himself, he always talks when talking. Be more generous." Ma Hansan smiled and whispered encouragement. The moment he turned his head, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect. This trip to Chongqing may not be as easy as imagined. As an agent who walks on the edge of life and death all day long, he has a strong intuition about danger. He took on six apprentices, and the other five all died at the hands of the Japanese. , the last one, no matter what, it must be arranged as far away from risks as possible. No matter how smart Peng Xuewen was, he would never have guessed that his master was so desperate for the power struggle within the military. Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that he would be sent to Heishizhai to be the commissioner of the Chabei Special Administrative Office, he stopped causing trouble to Ma Hansan. , nodded happily in agreement, and then together with the master, packed up the luggage for departure. That afternoon, he and his male secretary Liu Yuzhu put the master on the plane, and then spent another week making preparations. After making sure that Ma Hansan did not encounter any trouble when he returned to the Chongqing headquarters of the military command, he took the master with him. More than a hundred carefully selected brothers hurriedly embarked on the journey eastward. The season is midsummer, the temperature on the grassland is moderate, the scenery is beautiful, the hundreds of troops with guns, no matter how big or small, as long as they do not deliberately approach the stronghold of the Mongolian garrison, the small groups of Japanese and Japanese soldiers along the way will The traitors did not dare to take the initiative to stop them. They walked leisurely for more than half a month, and finally one day, they saw the pure black stone city wall in their memory on the horizon. Before the brothers' exclamations could subside, a puff of yellow-green smoke rose in the distance, and hundreds of men on horseback came over with shouts and shouts. The first one was none other than Independent Battalion. Chang Zhou Heitan, wearing a straight military uniform of a general, which was not too hot even in the summer, and tied tightly at the collar, greeted from a distance, "Brother Peng is in front of you. Zhou Heizi has been waiting for you day and night, and finally has you back. ""Commissioner Peng is in front of you. Our battalion commander is here with his brothers to pick you up." The other cavalrymen in the independent battalion also shouted to themselves. Home door. "Who else could it be if it wasn't me?" Peng Xuewen immediately urged his mount, ran forward with a big smile, and opened his arms to Zhou Heitan in accordance with prairie etiquette. The last time they met, the two of them had the same words. But at that time, because Peng Xuewen was on a special mission, the atmosphere during the conversation was still awkward. But now, this embarrassment has disappeared, and both parties finally stand on the same page. Being in the same camp, we will have to work hard towards the same goal for a long time in the future, so we all laughed and slowed down our horses. They first leaned forward and patted each other on the shoulder, then jumped off their mounts together and stood on the ground. They hugged each other tightly, "Good brother, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." "Me too, I didn't expect that I would be able to plot against the little devil with you again so soon." After saying that, he used his arms to press hard against each other at the same time. They hugged each other a few times, then quickly separated, looked at each other, raised their heads and laughed. "Okay, you Zhou Heitan has changed from a shotgun to a cannon. Looking at your appearance as a general, I might have thought that you had also joined the Huangpu Clan and become a disciple of the Emperor." "For show, for show." Zhou Heitan's face turned red after being teased, and he quickly explained loudly, "I don't usually dress like this. Like my brothers, I wear the blue cloth military uniform of the Shanxi-Sui Department. This time , I want to be more solemn this time to welcome you. ""We brothers still need to be so polite." Peng Xuewen smiled and shook his head, his eyes slowly swept along the brothers behind Zhou Heitan. There were many faces he was familiar with, all of them high-spirited. Li Laojiu, Wang Dazhuang, Haas, and Balagancuo. Everyone was wearing clean Sui military uniforms, with Cossack sabers on their backs, box cannons on their waists and hips, and Her big leather boots were shiny. "Haha, it's really a shotgun exchange for a cannon. It seems that Mr. Fu attaches great importance to your independent battalion. You have a twenty-ring knife and cowhide boots. I have never seen such a neat team at his headquarters." Peng Xuewen raised his eyes. He was brightened by it, laughed and praised again. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s funny, it¡¯s funny, my brother is a poor man, and he finally made some money, so he wears it all.¡± Zhou Heitan smiled and cupped his hands, with a hint of pride in his voice. After the great victory of Wuyuan, in order to commend the North Route Army for its military exploits, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government tripled the establishment of Fu Zuoyi's command. Food, wages, and ordnance were all provided preferentially based on those of the centrally-administered troops. The size of the North Route Army suddenly surpassed Yan Xishan's Jin faction was completely out of the latter's control and became one of the most powerful corps in the country. Fu Zuoyi has always been clear about rewards and punishments in running the army. After receiving a generous gift from the central government, he immediately began to reward his generals based on their merits. After some criticism, Zhou Heitan's independent battalion also severely damaged the enemy because of its cooperation with the 93rd Regiment, and once again Entering the eyes of General Fu Zuoyi, although the establishment has not been upgraded, he is no longer a wild child that his grandma does not care for and his uncle does not love him. Ordnance, food, wages, and uniforms are all supplied according to the specifications of a formal battalion. The military rank of the battalion commander Zhou Heitan has also changed. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and finally achieved his dream back then. The only regret is that Zhou Heitan's Blackstone Independent Battalion could not find enough sources of troops in a short period of time after the superiors promised to supply a battalion. Although he repeatedly relaxed the conditions for recruiting troops, he even began to recruit his fellow horse thieves. , the entire independent battalion currently has only more than 300 brothers, barely able to make up two companies, and the day when the third company can be put together is far away. "You little devil, have you been quiet recently? If you walk through Black Rock City with such swagger, you won't be afraid of them coming out to fight you." Seeing that Zhou Heitan was somewhat complacent, Peng Xuewen couldn't help but remind him. "They." Zhou Heitan curled his lips and sneered, "They dare to come out to provoke me. If the wall of Heishizhai hadn't been too thick, I would have broken in." "Oh, so powerful." Peng Xuewen was stunned, with a face full of surprise. , when the Kawada Battalion was chasing the 93rd Regiment, they were jointly killed by Lao Qi and Zhang Songling. He had known this news for a long time, but he did not expect that the battle dealt such a heavy blow to the Kawada Battalion. He no longer had the courage to go out to fight in the city, so he only dared to hide behind the city wall and be a coward. "It's not that I'm great, it's that Kawada Kuniaki is too cowardly." Zhou Heitan shook his head and added with a smile, "His boss is probably also very disappointed with him. He has not sent any new recruits to supplement him. At the moment, there are only two of them in Black Rock City. Many of the Japanese squadrons are still wounded. If Kawada Kuniaki dares to come out to die, my independent battalion alone can devour him without the cooperation of the guerrillas. " "That's a group of defeated soldiers who don't have the courage to leave the city." Peng Xuewen listened happily and asked smoothly, "Where are the guerrillas? How far have they developed? Has Fatty Zhang met you again recently? How is he doing?" "This" Zhou Heitan's face suddenly turned gloomy. He stood up, raised his head and scratched the back of his head a few times, and responded angrily, "How should I put it, the recent guerrillas, alas, are very different from before. There is basically no contact between our two families. Alas, Fatty Zhang also I don¡¯t know when he will come back. If he doesn¡¯t come back, the Blackstone Guerrillas may become someone else¡¯s.¡±
