Chapter 654 Unequal Reception
When it was dark, Minister Zhang returned to Sanjiaji. The group was exhausted physically and mentally, like a defeated rooster. Looking at Commander Lu, he shook his drooping head and smiled bitterly: "The investigation is over, and no suspects were found!"

Head Lu looked at Minister Zhang: "The spies hide very deeply, we will strengthen our defenses, cut off the enemy's intelligence transmission channel first, and then slowly figure out other ways!"

Minister Zhang raised his eyebrows together: "The enemy is now, and if the traitors are not eliminated, not only the independent regiment, but will even affect the entire situation in the southeast of Taihang. There are great hidden dangers!"

Ding Deyi frowned: "The situation in the mountains is special. In order to minimize the influence of the spies, we have pulled the second company and the nine companies to the plains. I forgive him for not being able to make any waves! Thank you for your hard work this time, eat first Let's talk after dinner!"

"Yes, let's study the communication with friendly troops after dinner!" Captain Lu yelled at me: "Guardian"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Yi was called to the regiment headquarters by Xiao Bing, and the four of them had a meeting in the middle of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, a team of more than ten people arranged by the division headquarter, braved the cold wind, and under the leadership of the correspondent, traveled all night to Sanjiaji.

Communication with friendly troops is not just a matter of the independent regiment. The division has long planned to directly select a class from the new batch of key students who participated in early learning to enrich the independent regiment's team for exchanges with friendly troops.

The first, second and third companies each sent a platoon leader with a clean background to accompany them.

There are heavy national troops stationed in the south of the Yellow River. In addition to fighting devils on the plains, the sub-divisions have to deal with their old enemies, the National Army. Minister Zhang suggested that Li Huanzhang from the sub-divisions be added to form a platoon.

This opportunity is rare, if not for the lack of time, it is estimated that the division will gather students from various departments of No. [-] to go to the friendly army to communicate with each other and learn about the former life-and-death opponents!
After the exchange team has assembled, it is planned to set off quietly in the early morning of the next day. A team of more than 30 people is passing through Qingshan Village and preparing to leave the mountain from Lushuipu.

The sky was far away, and the militiamen on duty looked enthusiastically at the members of the Ninth Company who walked outside Qingshan Village with torches.

Erniu and Chen Chong did not accompany the team, Erniu wanted to stay and train the militiamen, and Chen Chong had to go back to the security team to pass on, help, and lead.

The exchange team is dominated by Jiulian: Hu Yi, Ma Liang, Li Xiang, Ya Tou, Tang Dagou and Luo Fugui, a total of six people.

Hu Yi nodded to the smirking militiamen in Jiuzhan Village by the roadside, and the long line continued eastward.

Qingshan Village, which was originally deserted, quickly took root after more than 1000 people fled. In the days when the root is not suitable for work in winter, there are still people burning fires in the ravine before dawn!
The tenacity of the common people made Hu Yi feel very strange, thinking of the words of the instructor: No matter how powerful the devil is, can it kill them all?
He seemed to understand the meaning of the slogan on the wall, "There are countless Chinese who can't be killed."

The mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Hey, Fox, did I really get it wrong?" Braid is naturally indispensable for such an important event as communicating with friendly troops.

"Don't doubt it casually." Hu Yi said lightly.

"I'm definitely not mistaken. The man named Yang is not a good person at first glance. Pan Zhuzi will definitely investigate with him." The braid gritted his teeth.

"The regiment has conducted a detailed investigation, and the engineering department of the division has not found any problems. At present, the biggest suspect, Orion surnamed Ma, is missing. The nearby villagers cannot be spies. Don't make wild guesses."

"I don't believe it, he disappeared by the river for a long time, something must have happened that we don't know about!" The girl didn't give up.

"Minister Zhang still has follow-up plans, no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't escape the shotgun!" As soon as he said those words, Hu Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Aren't you a fox? And who is the hunter? A vixen?"

"Grandma, can you stop joking about this!"

"Okay, I'm not used to Sanjiaji. Originally, Gao Yidao would tell Hao Ping whether Gao Yidao really changed his sex or not every time we had a meeting."

Hu Yi shook his head: "Dogs can't change eating shit, but he can change it with a knife? Besides, is this important?"

"Why is it not important? Staff Hu!"

Hu Yi staggered and almost fell.

"People change!"

The girl asked suspiciously: "Could it be that he was defeated in the exchange with the friendly army, and he was brave after knowing his shame?"

Hearing the word "be brave after knowing shame" came out of the girl's mouth, Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, thought it was the colloquial words of an instructor of the Anti-Japanese University, and felt relieved: "With Gao Yidao's personality, it's almost as good as saying that he became angry from embarrassment. "

The girl continued to babble: "We have been away for a while, and the friendly army who came to communicate, something must have happened in the middle."

When it comes to the friendly army, Hu Yi can't help but get stuck in the memories of the past

That's the end of the conversation.

South of Xinglong Town, in a village on the outer plain of the southern mountainous area of ​​Taihang.

The bustling inside and outside of the broken village was extraordinary.

Cars and pack horses are everywhere, and soldiers train in groups in the winter, dig ditches and build fortifications.

On the shooting range piled with soil at the entrance of the village, there is even more gunfire. Don’t think it’s training, it’s just a gun repairer testing a gun.

There are many low walls in the village, and a large courtyard is in the middle, with a brazier burning in the house.

There are more than a dozen people crowded around the conference table, and the portrait of the prime minister is hung on the wall at the end.

The soldier in front of the portrait is about sixty years old, with a neat military uniform, but it is a pity that he is showing his old age, and he is still leaning on a crutch on his right hand.

The frameless three-star collar patch under the neckline shines brightly.

"Report to the commander, the Eighth Route Army has sent a military exchange team over." A staff officer entered the room.

The commander raised his head with a smile: "Has someone come from the eighth route? Well, let's go to the yard to meet him!"

The staff officer smiled awkwardly: "Well, they only sent regiment staff??"

The commander was discouraged: "What? Only a regiment staff officer came?"

"That's right, they came to our place to communicate, don't they fucking underestimate us?" The staff officer next to him frowned.

The commander seemed to have come back to his senses suddenly, and his face was serious: "Who did we send?"

The staff officer was shocked: "It was originally Brigadier Li. Later, the brigadier became unwell, so he sent his staff to go to the Eighth Road. They just came back two days ago!"

The commander was stunned, and immediately yelled: "I am his ancestor, you immediately go and call the person surnamed Li to Lao Tzu, and he will spoil my affairs!"

The staff officer was stunned for a moment: "Commander, don't get angry, Brigadier Li's defense area is far away from here, and now the Eight Route Army and the others have arrived, why don't I go to receive them first?"

The old man sitting at the top shook his head and sighed: "You? Let's forget it. There are so many things going on now, and I don't have many people who can't do it. It's a face for me that Eighth Road can send a staff officer this time. Don't forget , We did something to them two years ago, do you really think that others will show hot faces to our cold ass? You hurry up and call Li Tietou over and ask him to receive the exchange group from the Eighth Route!"

The division commander received the deputy regiment-level staff officer of Tuba Road?I was stunned for a moment: "It's not that good, is it? It's two or three levels behind?"

The commander slapped the table and was furious: "Do you dare to fart what I said? Damn, do you want me to receive it in person?"

After a while, a man with a square face and a neat military appearance, with a big-brimmed hat on the table in front of him, looked calm and arrogant. He should have heard the staff tell him about the situation: "I think we can send a staff to communicate with them. It can be regarded as completing the task assigned by the theater.”

The commander shook his head and asked, "Do you know why I have fought countless battles for so many years, but I have never really fallen. What is the reason?"

The soldier quickly replied: "The commander has a straightforward temperament, never cares about gains and losses, and has friends all over the world!"

The commander sighed: "Let's say it is the group army, which claims to have more than 7 people in two armies, but Sun Dianying of the first king's army has been flirting with the Japanese army for a long time, and the only one who can really mobilize is the more than 1 people in this division and brigade in his hands. The devils didn't dare to do anything to us with the help of eight people behind us, do you understand?"

"I don't think we should have the Fifth Army at all. We can't help it. Every time we fight, it will slow them down. With our more than 1 brothers, we have the same division as the devils with this terrain. The ability to fight!"

The commander was heartbroken: "You know how to fight, what if everyone is killed? I am over 60 years old, and I can ask the war zone to ask for old age, but I can't worry about you brothers!"

"Commander, why don't we go into the mountains?"

The commander looked desolate: "Based on our current strength, as long as the Fifth Army can withstand the Japanese army, and now the eighth road in the north has opened up a passage into the mountain, the devils have nothing to do with us for the time being, but this time the eighth road will not talk about it." It was a great help for us to open up a passage into the mountain. Tietou, you and I have been with me for so many years, you know that I am not willing to owe favors to others. You personally arranged to communicate with Balu, and you paid it back for me. Balu's favor."

"Yes, Commander!"
