under fire

In April, the world is full of fragrance, and the wild flowers in the mountains begin to bloom.

It was almost noon, and the withered grass on the side of the mountain road was fragile and tender green, and buds were seen on the branches of the shrubs.

After the desolate hills in the distance were exposed to the summer sun, the heat rising from the ground blurred the vision.

At the end of the mountain road, a row of eight-way figures appeared one after another, each carrying a bag and hanging a gun.

Su Qing, who was walking in the middle of the line, raised her hand and pulled the towel around her neck to wipe off her sweat.

The crowd walked lightly and seemed to be in a good mood.

Familiar with the mountain road, it seemed that he saw that bastard walking on the mountain road in military uniform.

"What are you laughing at, Director Su?" Pu Buhuan asked suddenly.

Su Qing withdrew her thoughts, her face turned as cold as ice: "It rained in the mountains"

Unexpectedly, Su Qing would talk about the weather a few days ago, and Pu Buhuan deliberately joked: "Hey, do you miss Battalion Commander Hu?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Su Qing's face was straight, and his tone was a bit harsh.

"I'm not blind," Park Buhuan muttered softly, while the monkey next to him suppressed a smile.

It's not good to keep secrets in your heart.

Su Qing was told that it was true, but Su Qing did not stop it for the first time.

I remember when I first arrived in the Independence Regiment, there were only three companies in the Independence Regiment, and they were not full.

Half of the soldiers in the team didn't even have guns.

Although it is still poor today, at least it can be said that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

The wine station is far away, and there seems to be a feeling of being close to home.

The pioneers walking in front checked their identities with the guard sentinels based on the letter of introduction in their hands.

Quick proximity to Wine Station Village.

The roar of cheers in the open field attracted the attention of the dusty team.

Su Qing was not interested in the excitement, just glanced at it and moved on.

The monkey stared wide-eyed, and threw the burden on his back to Pu Buhuan: "You go back first, I'll go and have a look."

Pu Buhuan's eyes were sharp, and those two guys on the court were really good at it.Shaking his head, he didn't intend to go forward.

There were guards standing guard at the headquarters, and Su Qing took the pedestrians to the other side of the river.

Seeing Su Qing appearing at the door, the political commissar smiled and stood up: "I'm back."

Then turn over the teacup on the table and pour water.

Su Qing raised his hand and saluted: "Good morning, political commissar."

The political commissar seemed to be in a good mood, and motioned Su Qing to sit down: "The original plan was to hold a meeting today, but it will be changed to tomorrow."

"It seems that there are many strangers here?"

Let's not talk about this for now, how is the work situation recently?
Progress has been made, the intelligence organization has been initially established, and the investigation of enemy and puppet personnel is progressing smoothly
The superior notified the armed working team of the Independence Regiment to withdraw from the An County area and hand it over to the County Public Security Bureau. What do you think?
Su Qing nodded: "Although I don't know what's wrong, I think the superior's approach has not considered the actual situation."

Feeling that Su Qing was preoccupied, Ding De looked serious: "Someone reported that our armed working team of the Independent Regiment violated the requirements of the superior."

Su Qing was a little angry: "The independent regiment has insufficient grassroots commanders. It is a fact that the members are not platoon-level commanders. However, the purpose of organizing an armed task force is to better disintegrate the enemy in enemy-occupied areas and develop secret bases. The county government Totally rigid in formalism."

"You don't look calm enough." The political commissar sighed: "I should absolutely obey the orders of the superiors!"

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his head: "Political Commissar, I suspect now...the county government has too close a relationship with devils."

Ding De was taken aback for a moment: "What basis do you have?"

Su Qing was a little contradictory: "You can't talk nonsense if there is no basis."

Political Commissar Ding encouraged: "It doesn't matter, we have to have the courage to doubt, but don't spread it outside until it is confirmed."

Su Qing nodded: "The development of the plain base is too smooth. The enemy raided the plains in spring and the mountains in summer. We hardly suffered any losses."

Ding Deyi was a little surprised: "Doesn't this mean that your work is in place?"

"No, I think this is a devil's conspiracy."

"Tell me what you think."

"More than 100 spies planted by the investigative team were found out from among the refugees, but the devil gendarmes and the investigative team did not respond, which is completely inconsistent with the enemy's usual practice."

"Then what do you think... the enemy's conspiracy?"

"Through detailed analysis, I believe that the enemy deliberately supports the county government."

"Then tell me the details first."

"I'm not sure either. Since the devils raided the headquarters in the mountains last year, the devils seem to have changed their policy on security management in enemy-occupied areas. If it's just because of a catastrophe in the plains, the devils have sympathy. I personally don't agree with it."

The political commissar nodded: "Go ahead."

"Important work, I have summarized ten items." Su Qing took out a document and handed it to the political commissar, roughly summarizing the content: "First, the enemy still implements the three-light policy for our base areas in the military, but in terms of daily management of enemy-occupied areas , hypocritically let the puppet government implement Huairou management."

"This is the usual method of the little devil."

"Secondly, the devils tried to gather villages and towns on the plains, set up agencies to maintain the government and send traitors everywhere, and the people who moved to live together were completely under the surveillance of the enemy, so as to compress the area of ​​our activities. The plains were severely drought years, and the crops dried up. , Many settlements have starved to death."

"The devil's action has indeed made it more difficult to carry out the work in the plain." The political commissar nodded to show that he knew the situation.

"Third, cultural invasion. In order to win people's hearts, the devils forcefully demand that the local government continue to vigorously develop education, but require all schools to offer bird language courses, and vigorously promote common 'prosperity' to deceive ordinary people."

The political commissar looked calm: "This is not a new method. The enemy is trying to make children receive slavery education from an early age."

"Fourth, the enemy lowers commercial taxes and reduces agricultural taxes."

The political commissar looked serious: "There is a severe drought in the plain, and the devils can't accept it even if they want to. They do this to win people's hearts."

"Fifth, a large number of civilians from Niaoguo entered the enemy-occupied area, and the cheap Japanese goods they brought were dumped in the market, impacting the national handicraft industry"

Political Commissar Ding frowned: "Wait, you said that civilians from Niaoguo entered enemy-occupied areas? I remember it was only in the fourth eastern province? I didn't expect this to happen in An County."

"Sixth, the enemy-occupied areas are now flooded with smoke and soil. Seventh, the devils printed a large number of counterfeit legal coins and carried out economic plunder. Eighth, in addition to enslaving children through ordinary primary school education, the traitor graduates trained by the traitor schools in North China and the Northern Qing Dynasty entered the To maintain government positions; police officers and agents trained by the pseudo-police academy have entered the police force and detective team in large numbers, and grass-roots commanders trained by the military academy have been assigned to the puppet army in various places. The enemy is trying to gradually normalize the puppet army.”

The political commissar's eyebrows were almost knit together: "The situation is indeed much more serious than it appears on the surface!"

"Ninth, the devils forcibly ordered all industries to resume work and schools to resume classes. The purpose is to continue economic plunder, open railway schools, agricultural schools, and business schools. A large number of talents in various industries are trained, all of which are for the long-term colonial rule. Tenth , the headquarters intelligence system and the local intelligence system are independent of each other and cannot adapt to the current situation.”

"It seems that your departure is a great loss for our independent group." The political commissar became excited. If it is said to do ideological work, he thinks there is no problem, but when it comes to these social issues, he suddenly finds that he seems a little out of step Not in Su Qing's rhythm.

Ding Deyi looked at the document carefully, and there were detailed investigation and research data behind each item, and there were even countermeasures.

Especially the last one, there was even a situation where the anti-rape team of the armed task force assassinated the intelligence personnel from the headquarters who broke into the enemy's interior
Ding Deyi couldn't help standing up: "I'm going to find the political commissar!"

The Eighth Route Army has a social department to study the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and provide theoretical guidance for future work directions.

As a military unit, the Independent Regiment naturally does not have the ability to conduct these studies.

Ding Deyi knew very well that the independent regiment should be at the forefront of most regiment-level military units in this area of ​​work.

Logically speaking, this work should be done by the county government. Obviously, a large group of people in the Anti-Japanese Coalition Government did not do their jobs properly.

Instead, they put forward many demands on the independent group through their superiors.

Of course, it cannot be said that the county government is not working properly, they are also working according to the instructions of their superiors.

However, the situation between the enemy and the enemy is changing day by day. It is obviously inappropriate to still take the instructions from a while ago as a daily work guide.

The independent regiment's parents don't love it, its aunts don't hurt it, and it doesn't even have the party and government restrictions required by its superiors, so it will completely integrate military and local affairs.

In normal times, this kind of management mode will lead to the consequences of centralized dictatorship and unsupervised control.

The independent regiment is small, and even in the plains, the bases are borrowed from brother units. In this special period, all the forces have been twisted into one rope.

Based on Su Qing's detailed report on the enemy's situation, from a military point of view, the independent regiment does not even need any assistance, and can take An County with one effort!
Who dares to say that the armed task force will withdraw from An County.
The big political commissar will definitely give him two big mouths
Of course, big political commissars generally won't do anything.
