In the countryside of Jiangbei, the sky was high and the fields were vast.
A group of farmers were weeding in the fields.
Suddenly, a man stood up straight, listened to the movement on the horizon, and said: "Japanese plane."
The war has entered its fifth year, and even farmers in the most remote villages know about the existence of airplanes, that they can fly thousands of miles in the sky, and can drop bombs to blow up the walls of houses and cities.
Beitai Airport is stationed there There is an aviation unit of the Japanese Army, and planes can often be seen training in the sky.
Jiangbei people have long been used to it.
With the dull engine roar, two planes flew in from the west, and white umbrella flowers bloomed in the sky.
The farmers held their hoes and looked at the Western scenery.
They watched the man fall to the ground before putting down their hoes and pulling off the old sleeves from their backs. , loaded the bullet with a clatter, and surrounded him on three sides.
The parachuting pilot untied the parachute rope and shouted in authentic Nantai dialect: "Fellow, don't shoot, we are on our own."
"It turns out he is a pilot of the National Army."
Several farmers lowered their guns.
When they went over, they saw that this man looked familiar.
He was tall and handsome.
One of the farmers recognized him: "Oh, it's Marshal Chen. " "Yes, I'm back again."
Chen Zikun said with a hearty smile, and gave the white silk parachute to three farmers, saying that they should take it back to make clothes for their children.
The farmers couldn't help but be happy and went home to set up their cars.
Escort Commander-in-Chief Chen to the nearby Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army station.
When Chen Zikun arrived in the north of the Yangtze River, the spirits of all the officers and soldiers of the National Salvation Army were lifted.
Previously, their commander-in-chief Chen Qilin led his troops to attack the Eighth Route Army, but was dumped.
Thousands of troops were lost.
Even the commander-in-chief was captured, and morale fell to the bottom.
At the military meeting, Gai Longquan and Chen Shou reported the situation to Chen Zikun.
Chen Qilin had just arrived and was dictatorial.
He wanted to squeeze the Eighth Route Army out of Jiangbei.
At the beginning, he had won consecutive battles and even forced a battalion of the Eighth Route Army to rebel.
Who knew that this would happen?
It was someone else's plan.
I was lured into the encirclement without realizing it.
I even vomited out the money and profits, and folded in myself.
"Why don't you persuade him?"
Chen Zikun said.
"There is no way to persuade him, he has Shang Fang's sword."
Gai Longquan sighed.
"What Shangfang Sword?"
"The commission's handwriting secretly ordered him to use all his strength to suppress the communists.
Who dares not to listen?
Military law will be engaged."
Chen Zikun nodded: "Qilin has been resting in the rear for a long time.
He doesn't understand the situation at the front and has been a little distracted.
It doesn't matter.
Contact Wu Changqing for me and I will meet him."
Gai Longquan said: "Don't panic, let me help you wash away the dust first."
A banquet was held in the camp to welcome Commander-in-Chief Chen.
After three drinks, a messenger from the Eighth Route Army arrived and delivered a personal letter from Wu Changqing, saying that he would meet Chen Zikun at Kushuijing in three days.

Everyone was shocked.
How come the Eighth Route Army got the message just after the commander-in-chief arrived?
This was so fast.
No wonder they lost the battle.
There must be a traitor.
Chen Zikun wrote a reply and asked the messenger to take it away, and convened a meeting of important cadres.
Two generals, Chen Shougai and Longquan, as well as backbone forces such as Shuangxi and Liu Xiaoyong were present.
Chen Zikun said: "Everyone, there may be spies from the Eighth Route Army in the team.
Please be careful and pay attention in the future."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Xiaoyong's eyes were open and calm.
Three days later, outside Kushuijing, with colorful flags fluttering and the spring breeze blowing, the commander of the Daqingshan Detachment of the Eighth Route Army personally greeted Chen Zikun at the entrance of the village.
The two sides had just fought a tough battle, so there was naturally a tense atmosphere.
If you look closely, you can see that the guards had The nose of the box gun is open and can be pulled out and fired at any time.
Wu Changqing was dressed in a homespun military uniform, with a cowhide belt tied around his waist, and a small Browning pistol hanging on his waist.
He stretched out his big hand and said: "Commander Chen, please."
Chen Zikun said with a smile: "Captain of the Armed Forces, I got the wrong title.
I'm not the commander-in-chief, just a retired soldier.
I'm here to see an old friend today, so there's no need to put on such a big show."
Wu Changqing said seriously: "The Jiangbei Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was established by your Excellency.
Our Eighth Route Army only recognizes Commander-in-Chief Chen, but we do not recognize Chongqing's appointment."
Chen Zikun nodded and could vaguely guess what kind of medicine Wu Changqing was selling in the gourd.
Entering the village, the Eighth Route Army secret service company lined up for inspection on the threshing floor.
They were dressed in grass-green military uniforms, wearing leggings, carrying bayonets with shiny 38 caps on their backs, and carrying four wooden-handled grenades on their waists.
They were full of energy. , well-equipped, and very different from the beggar image when they first came to Jiangbei.
Standing at the front of the team was none other than Zhao Ziming.
He ran forward and saluted: "Detachment leader, the troops have been assembled.
Please review."
Wu Changqing replied casually: "Take a break."
Chen Zikun couldn't help but feel angry.
The Eighth Route Army had grown up from scratch.
The year before last, it was still a poor man who picked up bullet casings everywhere.
Now it was strong and strong, and it could compete with his own troops.
It didn't count that they abducted Zhao Ziming, but they also captured Chen Qilin.
It was simply What is intolerable is unbearable.
"Captain of the Military Detachment, your army's rapid development is amazing."
Chen Zikun said coldly.
Wu Changqing smiled calmly: "The team develops and grows in fighting.
If there is no fighting, there will be no development.
If you don't believe it, you can look at the so-called anti-Japanese teams in Jiangnan.
They are guerrillas.
They roam without fighting.
They only care about bullying the common people and friendly forces.
As a result of friction, there are now fewer and fewer people.
As the saying goes, if you are in a good way, you will get more help and if you are in a bad way, you will get less help.

This is the truth. " Chen Zikun said: "That's a beautiful thing to say.
I thought I could have wiped you out with just one word when we were under Nantai City.
But I was too soft-hearted and ended up feeding tigers, which actually harmed our Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army."
Wu Changqing said: "Commander-in-Chief Chen established a territorial division with our department and gave us living space.
Our department has always been grateful.
However, since Chen Qilin took office as the commander-in-chief of your department at the beginning of the year, he has deliberately undermined peaceful coexistence and launched provocations many times.
We The Ministry takes the overall situation into consideration and retreats in the spirit of The principle of staying away from others was not to fight back, but Chen Qilin thought this was a sign of our weakness and launched an attack even more unscrupulously.
Our troops couldn't bear it anymore and fought back.
This led to the current situation.
Commander-in-Chief, if you face this kind of situation How will we deal with the attack?”
Seeing that he spoke politely and politely, Chen Zikun could not get angry, so he could only say: "Then how are you going to punish Chen Qilin?"
Wu Changqing said: "I heard that General Chen Qilin is an old friend of the Commander-in-Chief.
For your sake, we will naturally not make it difficult for him and his brothers.
We have been entertaining him and his brothers with good food and drinks, but we dare not let him go easily.
Otherwise, if we let the tiger go back to the mountain, our future will be ruined."
Life is hard.
Now that the Commander-in-Chief is back, it’s natural to let them go.
Come on.”
"Yes" Zhao Ziming responded loudly.
"Invite your friends out."
Wu Changqing said calmly.
The soldiers of the special agent company escorted a group of prisoners from the village.
There were hundreds of them.
They were all wearing the uniforms of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
They all looked dejected, but their faces were good and they seemed not to be hungry.
Chen Qilin walked at the front of the team, with a general's star on his collar and strict discipline, still maintaining the demeanor of a Huangpu student.
The prisoners lined up in five lines at the command from the secret service company.
There was complete silence.
Chen Qilin knelt down and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you."
Chen Zikun said: "We'll talk about it when we get back.
Thank you very much, Captain of the Military Detachment."
"Wait a minute."
"Oh, the captain of the military branch still has some advice."
"Please check the weapons and ammunition of your department."
Wu Changqing waved his hand again, and the special agent company brought up hundreds of rifles, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and mortars, as well as dozens of boxes of unopened ammunition.
"These are all captured weapons and ammunition, and they are now returned intact.
I hope that under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Chen, your department will only fight against the Japanese invaders without causing friction, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will cooperate to fight against the Japanese."
Wu Changqing said sincerely.
Chen Zikun nodded: "I will."
"We'll see you later."
Wu Changqing got on his horse and galloped away.
The Eighth Route Army's special agent company also lined up to leave, fully evacuating the territory occupied by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army after the friction.
The Eighth Route Army did this, so that everyone could not express their temper.
The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was made up of people from all walks of life, and the most important thing was the word righteousness.
Wu Changqing persuaded people with virtue, and there was no room for criticism when things were done, and everyone was dissatisfied.

Be convinced.
Back at the station, Chen Zikun asked Chen Qilin what he had been doing during his capture.
Chen Qilin said: "Eating, sleeping, and studying politics, the Eighth Route Army divided us into classes.
There was a class for tenants, a class for bandits, and a class for officers.
They all learned about class divisions."
“What’s the catch?”
"Yes, their ability to deceive people is so great that they captured more than 2,000 people, more than half of whom followed the Eighth Route Army.
Only 600 people were willing to come back.
In political and ideological work, our party has never been as good as them."
Chen Zikun said: "I understand, even if these 600 people come back, they are probably mixed with sand.
If our army takes any actions in the future, I am afraid they will not be able to hide it from the Eighth Route Army."
Chen Qilin said: "We must investigate strictly and pass them one by one.
We must dig out the nails buried by the Communist Party.
Otherwise, even if the Japanese are taken away in the future, we will not be able to survive."
Chen Zikun smiled bitterly: "Do you think it's useful?"
The matter was settled like this.
Chen Qilin was still nominally the commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but in fact the power was in the hands of Chen Zikun.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in peace with each other.
The Japanese were holed up in the cities of Beitai and Nantai and could not leave the city easily.
The three parties Live together in peace and wait for the war to end.
The countryside in Jiangbei is so isolated that it is difficult to read newspapers.
Fortunately, Chen Zikun brought a radio and could listen to the news from the Central News Agency.
The war in Southeast Asia was tense.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force had entered Burma and was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army abroad.
This was the first time that the Chinese army went abroad since the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1895.
The use of troops, and fighting side by side with British and American troops, is of great significance.
It is a great pity that I cannot participate in it personally.
One night in mid-April, Chen Zikun was sleeping when he suddenly heard a low roar of engines, which should be the sound of a heavy bomber.
He was so startled that he got up and rushed to the yard, where he saw a twin-engine bomber.
Flying at low altitude under the moonlight, it seemed like it was about to brush against the treetops.
Painted on the wings of the bomber was not the Japanese rising sun emblem, nor the blue sky and white sun, but the red heart, two wings and white stars of the U.S.
