Chapter 421 Reaching Agreement

In fact, in Ge Mingyong's view, it doesn't matter if he happened to rescue the spy. There is a lot to be done in this.

Secret agents have always had a bad reputation, especially the Party Affairs Investigation Division, which is the most ferocious enemy of the underground party. What is happening now is a drama of repaying evil with kindness. Once this kind of thing is published in the newspapers, it will have a great impact on public opinion.

Ge Mingyong stood up: "Recently, the enemy has stepped up the encirclement and suppression of our guerrillas. Cao Tie's rescue operation is likely to expose our strength. My opinion is to organize the transfer of personnel immediately. Lao Hou, we now lack

Although weapons and ammunition can deal with the enemy for a period of time, it will be very detrimental to us over time.

Moreover, a newly established security brigade at the foot of the mountain, with more than 300 people, has penetrated deeply into our defense area, making it impossible for us to look after each other despite the lack of troops. Once any emergency occurs, they can separate us.

And it was made."

Hou Guozheng slapped his thigh: "Hmph, let them daydream. Since Mingshan is our defense area, it won't be that easy for them to drive us out from here!"

Sun Changwei patted the shell gun on his waist: "Hmph, they thought I was a vegetarian, right?"

"Yes, this defense zone was wrested from the enemy by our martyrs with their lives and blood. We must not only defend it, but also make full use of it to make it truly a link between our guerrillas and the people."

As he spoke, Ge Mingyong's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

Everyone was familiar with his expression and knew that something important was about to be announced.

"Comrades, in the middle of this year, our superiors asked us to strengthen our ties with the underground party organizations in Lincheng. According to the latest instructions, our guerrillas will accept the leadership of the Linxi Provisional Working Committee from now on.

After the superiors decided, I will serve as the deputy secretary of the temporary working committee and instructor of the guerrillas, Comrade Hou Guo will serve as the minister of the military department and the captain of the guerrillas, and Comrade Sun Changwei will serve as the deputy minister of the military and deputy captain of the guerrillas.

Because the new temporary working committee does not know the situation of our guerrillas very well, we will submit the appointment of other comrades. In the future, our relationship with the Lincheng underground party organization will be even closer."

Sun Changwei's face showed joy: "It has been more than three years. We have been in this deep mountain and old forest, and the contact with the organization has been intermittent. Sometimes I wonder if we have lost the direction of our struggle. This is great.

Now, with the strong leadership of the organization, our guerrillas will definitely be able to continue to grow in strength during the struggle."

Hou Guozheng's face looked particularly solemn: "This is a great thing. But we must also clearly realize that the work of the guerrillas is completely different from the underground work in the city.

In the past, I heard that some comrades in our team did not look down on underground work. They always felt that they took the organization's money to live in enemy-occupied areas. However, what I want to say is that in these years, under the enemy's control,

Under the white terror, the comrades of the underground party also suffered a lot.

Take the recent events as an example. Our comrades suffered a bloody suppression by the secret agents. A large number of comrades were arrested and sacrificed, but the remaining comrades are still persisting.

What we wear, what we eat, and what we hold in our hands are all provided by them from under the eyes of the enemy at the risk of their lives. The reason why we can survive in this cruel environment can be said to be

, the comrades in the underground party organization are indispensable.

An old leader of mine, whose specific name I will not mention, is currently being held in prison by the spies, undergoing inhuman torture, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead!

Their arrest was due to the cunning of the enemy on the one hand, and the betrayal of the traitors on the other.

Just a few days ago, the instructor and I received the latest order to select several skilled members from our guerrilla group to go to the city to assist the underground party organization in its operational work."

When everyone heard that people were going to be beaten, their faces changed slightly.

The life of the guerrillas has been too difficult in recent years. There is a severe shortage of food, military supplies, weapons and ammunition. They can grit their teeth and overcome these problems, but the backbone of the battle has been broken in battle after battle, which is heartbreaking.

Counting his fingers, he calculated everything, and among the team of more than a hundred people, there were only a few fighting backbones like Cao Tie.

At this time, if we deploy people to support the underground party organization in Lincheng, what will happen if the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas drops?

Ge Mingyong looked at Hou Guozheng. They had discussed this matter a few days ago, but they still couldn't make a decision.

The few fighting backbones such as Cao Tie are the treasures of the guerrillas. No matter which one is poached, the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas will be reduced by a notch, and it cannot be made up for in a short time.

Because of this matter, Hou Guozheng couldn't even sleep well. What did he mean by raising this matter in public at this time?

At this time, Hou Guozheng continued: "Lao Ge, I know that you have always thought that I am holding the rope. I admit that I am so scared that a big man can't wait to be broken in half. I can't wait to see those fighting backbones every day.

Holding it in the palm of your hand and asking for someone from me is like cutting off my flesh. But you can't do it without giving it, comrades!"

His tone was low, but it made Ge Mingyong's eyes light up.

What Ge Mingyong was most worried about was that Hou Guozheng was having a bad temper and would not let anyone go.

Now it seems that there is a way to do this.

In fact, he also knew that although Hou Guozheng seemed a bit petty most of the time, he still had an overall view of the situation at critical moments.

Ge Mingyong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to talk to Hou Guozheng.

Sun Changwei blinked: "Captain, who are you letting go?"

This is also the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

Under the gaze of everyone, Hou Guozheng sighed heavily: "Lao Ge, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to discuss this matter with you in advance. I'm going to tell you now and see if you can listen to it with your comrades."

"Lao Hou, tell me!" Ge Mingyong knew that Hou Guozheng acted openly and never secretive in his affairs.

"I plan to let Cao Tie and Zhi Hongtao go down the mountain!"

As soon as this statement came out, even Ge Mingyong looked surprised.

Even though Cao Tie is often scolded by Hou Guozheng, he is the backbone of the guerrilla fighting force. Letting him go is simply cutting off Hou Guozheng's heart.

"Lao Hou...? Do you want to think about it again?" Ge Mingyong wondered if he was angry.

Hou Guozheng shook his head: "Lao Ge, what I said was not an angry word! I also said it just now, and we cannot let the underground party comrades who silently provide us with support and help feel chilled!

Cao Tie has had a lot of dealings with comrades in the city. He needs the shortest time to adapt, which is conducive to work. This is my opinion. Please consider it as appropriate. Of course, whether it can be passed in the end depends on everyone voting together!

"

Hou Guozheng is like this. He has his own temper, but he never messes up on issues of principle. This is what Ge Mingyong admires about him.

"Lao Hou, thank you!" Ge Mingyong's voice was excited.

Hou Guozheng's proposal was successfully passed.

After everyone put down their hands, Ge Mingyong said: "Comrades, the current situation in the struggle between us and the enemy is extremely serious. Although it is a good thing that we have strengthened ties with the city, I want to remind everyone that the enemy, especially the spies, are very cunning. We must further

Be vigilant and resolutely prevent any secrets from being revealed about the guerrillas and comrades in the city!"

After the matter was settled, everyone immediately organized the transfer.

However, Cao Tie, who was going down the mountain, did not know that he was about to be transferred from the guerrillas.

He and Zhi Hongtao were running anxiously along the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain, walking as fast as flying.

One second later and the lives of comrades will be in danger.

In the past, when the enemy was encircling and suppressing troops, he thought it was great that the Mingshan Mountains stretched for hundreds of miles. It was the best battlefield and he could sneak away the enemies.

Today, for the first time in history, Cao Tie felt that Mingshan was too big, and now he wished he could fly out of this vast mountain with wings.

"Tie Zi, I am responsible for everything that happened this morning. I was the one who asked you to save people in the first place. When I get back to the mountain, I will tell the captain and instructor and let them punish me."

"How can I punish you? I am the team leader, and if you want to punish me, you will punish me." Cao Tie said, "As for the injuries to Mengzi and Gangzi, and this encounter, I will report to the team when I return to the mountain.

We will conduct a thorough self-examination and request organizational sanctions.”

Zhi Hongtao's face was hot: "Tiezi, this matter really has nothing to do with you. I couldn't help but shoot when I heard the Japs talking. It was me who committed liberalism."

"Okay, don't talk about these things. We have to find a doctor for the injured quickly. If it's too late, it will be too late."

Zhi Hongtao snorted and said no more.

The two of them descended halfway up the mountain and stopped to rest while passing by a village called Banshan Village.

Cao Tie squatted next to the mountain stream and took a few sips of the water. His throat that was about to smoke instantly felt better.

Zhi Hongtao stood directly downstream, burying his face under the water. When he raised his head again, countless crystal clear water droplets came out, and the fatigue of rushing on the road was relieved a lot.

"It's so nice...huh?"

Cao Tie heard his voice and looked over, only to see Zhi Hongtao pointing to a big tree beside the stream.

Only then did he see an unkempt man huddled under a tree. He looked like a beggar in what he was wearing.

The two of them waded across the stream and walked up to the man.

Once he got close, there was a stench immediately. The beggar had his trousers rolled up and had three shocking sores on his legs. Flies were flying around him.

Zhi Hongtao stepped forward to check his breathing: "He is still alive."

I touched my forehead again, it was frighteningly hot.

"It seems that he is a beggar passing by. He must be carried to a nearby villager's home quickly." Zhi Hongtao is a warm-hearted man.

Fortunately, it is summer, and people still have breath. If winter comes, they will probably be frozen to death. Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, Mingshan is still covered with heavy snow in winter, which can freeze people to death.

The two of them carried the person to Mrs. Chen's house in the village in a hurry.

Aunt Chen's son is a guerrilla fighter like them in Shangli near Quzhou.

"Auntie, I'll leave this person to you. The two of us still have missions and must leave immediately."

Aunt Chen nodded and took out two rice balls from the bamboo basket hanging on the beam: "Take it with you to eat on the way!"

Zhi Hongtao took it with a smile, stuffed his own portion into his mouth, and started chewing: "The rice balls made by aunt are still delicious!"

Aunt Chen looked at him lovingly, as if she were looking at her own son.
