Chapter 132

The aftermath of the Ping'an campaign has not yet subsided. Yan Xishan, commander of the World War II region, sent a commendation telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army: "congratulations to all departments of the Eighth Route Army on launching an active offensive in Northwest Shanxi and achieving major results!"

It is precisely because of this that the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army handled Guo Lingfeng like this: "In view of Comrade Guo Lingfeng's personal revenge, he led his troops to attack the county without asking for instructions, resulting in heavy casualties, which should be severely punished. After consideration, it is considered that Comrade Guo Lingfeng led his troops to wipe out the enemy in Ping'an County, which caused the positive response of all departments and caused the enemy to pay a heavy price in the vast combat area. Therefore, Comrade Guo Lingfeng's serious mistakes will not be investigated and his war achievements will not be declared Zhang, merits and demerits are equal. "

It is said that Chairman Jiang, who was far away in Chongqing, was disturbed in those days.

It is said that Chairman Jiang looked at the map on the wall for a long time that day and couldn't help but burst out: "Niang xipi, what's going on in Northwest Shanxi? What's going on in the World War II area?"

……

Heiyun stronghold is located on a high mountain in Northwest Shanxi.

In fact, it is not too high to say that it is a high mountain, but this area is a plain, and this hillside with a height of only 100 meters has become a high mountain.

There is a gang of bandits in heiyun stronghold. The leader's name is Xie Baoqing.

Xie Baoqing was born in a bitter family. He became a bandit because he became enemies with Zhang Dashan, the rich man of the village. In his anger, he killed more than 20 people of Zhang Dashan Quanjia and set fire to the Zhangjia mansion.

Xie Baoqing quickly won a good reputation among the bandits and became the leader of heiyun stronghold by virtue of his good martial arts and the means of helping others with justice and money.

The economic source of heiyun stronghold mainly depends on road blocking, robbery, kidnapping, etc. they do whatever they like. They rob all kinds of people, whether they are Japanese devils, puppet army, the Eighth Route Army, Kuomintang army and traveling merchants. They will do whoever they have the opportunity to catch, and they will never be hospitable.

Xie Baoqing was born in a poor family. He repeatedly stressed that the first rule of Shanzhai is to rob anyone, but not the poor!

Most of the strongholds are from poor backgrounds. Of course, everyone thinks that the mountain rules are well established. Generally speaking, this is clearly the behavior of Liangshan heroes who rob the rich and help the poor? Privately, what can the poor have to rob? It's better to push the boat along the river and get a good reputation!

Xie Baoqing's black cloud stronghold has a good reputation for robbing the rich and helping the poor. Several forces are fighting this bandit armed idea.

The Kuomintang army wanted to recruit them, but the Japanese puppets wanted to pull them over, and even the Eighth Route Army wanted to incorporate these bandits. In particular, Kong Jie of the new second regiment was short of major general some time ago, and had sent someone to contact Xie Baoqing.

Xie Baoqing has made contact with several political forces and is considering which aspect to join.

After dealing with the Kuomintang army for more than 20 years, he survived many clean-up and suppression operations and knew the Kuomintang army too well.

He heard that many bandits were cleaned up after they were recruited, and others were reorganized into local troops after they were recruited. Once there was a war, they sent you to a deadly place and killed you with the devil's hand.

Therefore, he does not want to go to the Kuomintang army, especially the Japanese and puppet army.

Although being a bandit has a bad reputation, he is still a Chinese at least. If he becomes a traitor, will Xie Baoqing not be dug up by the villagers?

Traitors can never be!

In this way, there is only one way to choose, that is to go to No. 8 road!

In a word, the Eighth Route Army is the most sincere.

Kong Jie, the head of the second new regiment, gave heiyun stronghold a "independent brigade of the second new regiment". The brothers don't have to be scattered in the past. They can be the captain themselves, and several heads of the family can also be the vice captain, which is considered to have a head and a face.

But Xie Baoqing knows these brothers very well. It's said that the discipline on the 8th Road is too strict, no stealing, no robbing, no smoking and no playing with women. Can his brothers stand these restrictions?

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he heard the second leader of the stronghold, SM Zi, say with a smile, "brother, what are you thinking? Are you thinking about voting for route 8 again? If I say, we don't vote for anyone. With our stronghold being easy to defend and difficult to attack, who can get us? How many times have the security corps of the Kuomintang attacked us before? Which time did they attack us?"

Xie Baoqing scolded angrily: "confused! It's true that our stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it depends on who will attack it? You think we can beat back the KMT's security regiment? I tell you, if their main force goes out, we don't need more, we'll come to a battalion. If we can hold it for an hour, it's even heaven's favor!"

SM Zi said with a shy face and a smile, "elder brother, how can you grow others' ambition and destroy your own prestige? You see, I robbed three carts of grain from the 358 regiment of the Jin Sui Army today. The soldiers in charge of grain didn't run back in frustration and didn't dare to fart one?"

Xie Baoqing was shocked and asked, "what? You robbed Chu Yunfei's food? Why are you so confused? This is military food. If Chu Yunfei sends out a large army to fight, our heiyun stronghold will be all over!"

SM smiled: "I don't believe him. Chu Yunfei dares to attack us. Our black cloud stronghold has been standing in Northwest Shanxi for more than 20 years. The Kuomintang troops have come to suppress it so many times. We still don't live well, and there are more and more people! Now in Northwest Shanxi, if you want to say people in the green forest, who can compare with our black cloud stronghold? Brother, don't scare yourself. I'm sure he hasn't killed Chu Yunfei This courage! "

……

"Who said I Chu didn't have the courage?" Chu Yunfei was furious after hearing this, and the table of the regiment headquarters was almost destroyed by him.

"Special! A gang of bandits in heiyun stronghold dare to provoke my 358 regiment? Is Xie Baoqing a bastard who wants to die on purpose and tired of living?" Chu Yunfei was angry and burst out a rude remark, "send me an order to order the gun camp to start first and the first battalion to follow. If this heiyun stronghold is unfair today, my mother's name will not be Chu!"

The combat staff still stood still. Chu Yunfei was stunned and angrily said, "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go and give orders?"

The combat staff officer looked puzzled and whispered, "but regiment... Here are two letters from the Eighth Route Army. Why don't you... Have a look first?"

"Oh?" Chu Yunfei was puzzled. When he received the letter, he saw that one was written by Kong Jie of the new second regiment and the other was written by Guo Lingfeng of the independent regiment.

Let's take a look at Kong Jie's letter first. This letter is only a piece of paper and the number of words is very few:

"Yunfei, my brother:

See the letter like me!

I've always heard that brother's talent is the best in the Jin Sui army. I don't need to repeat. Heiyun stronghold has defected to our army a few days ago. Now it's an independent brigade of the new second regiment and belongs to the Anti Japanese armed forces of China. I'll write a letter to recover brother's military grain. I hope brother Yunfei will stop his anger. How about this? "

Chu Yunfei sneered and said, "Kong Jie, are you threatening Chu with national righteousness?"

He held back his anger and then opened Guo Lingfeng's letter. There was only one piece of stationery, and there were fewer words on it:

"Brother Chu:

I'm surprised to hear about this today. I've gathered troops and horses. Heiyun stronghold will no longer exist today. All the people in heiyun stronghold should be wiped out. I'm sure I can get out of this evil spirit! "

Chu Yunfei was stunned for a long time after seeing it. He finally gasped for air-conditioning and said with a bitter smile: "just said that Xie Baoqing died. What a special death! It seems that Guo Lingfeng has long intended to eliminate this bandit. This time he can still sell me a favor... Alas, Brother Guo, what a good young man. How can he be more and more like brother Yunlong?"
