Chapter 18 Chapter Sixteen

one The tense air of the war followed the autumn wind, blowing in from outside the Concave Mountain. After Gao Qiujiang sneaked into Luo'an Prefecture, after some hard work, the once paralyzed intelligence station resumed its activities, and Gao Qiujiang was entrusted with a new task.In the autumn of that year, Gao Qiujiang sent someone to send an important piece of information: the Japanese Army General Yamano mobilized nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers from a regiment and two other brigades, and more than 4,000 members of the "Imperial Association Army" from Zhang Tianyu, Yao Hulu and others. Recently, a six-way "autumn offensive" was launched on Aotu Mountain. Its front was directed at Liu Hanying's southeast defense line Tiantangzhai, Laolougang and Hekou Town.

Liu Hanying sent an adjutant to Meiling on a galloping horse, and invited the officials of the Eighth Route Army to Shuhuobu to attend an emergency combat meeting. Unexpectedly, they encountered a nail that was neither soft nor hard. Except for the Chief of Staff Jiang Jiahu, the other heads of the division were not at home. Liang Bida joined the party committee in the First Regiment, and Deputy Political Commissar Zhang Pujing and Deputy Commander Dou Yuquan went to the newly formed Second Regiment. Jiang Jiahu led Adjutant Zhang to find Liang Bida at the old Hou's home of the regiment headquarters.

Liang Bida was very polite. After reading Liu Hanying's personal letter, he asked the adjutant surnamed Zhang to read it again. After listening to it, he stood up, walked around the yard a few times, and then said to the adjutant Zhang in a melodious manner: "In my opinion , The Japanese entered the mountain this time to compete with you. The little devil has good eyesight. He knows that your national army is well paid, strong and strong, and he will be an opponent in a fight. We are poor, and people look down on us. We are poor, the government There is no military pay, and the equipment is outdated. Many of our soldiers don't even have guns, only a few grenades. Naturally, people look down on such a team, and they don't even bother to fight. I don't think we will join in the fun in this battle. It’s okay, so as not to share the credit of the national army and share the merits of the national army. What do you think?”

As soon as Adjutant Zhang was obedient, he quickly stood at attention and said, "Commander Liang, this time the devil is powerful. If the Eighth Route Brothers stand by and watch, our department will be unable to support it alone. Once our southeast line of defense is defeated, the enemy's follow-up troops will be able to drive straight in. By then, Throwing away Hekou Town and Tiantangzhai, the left wing of Aotu Mountain has no danger to defend, so... the lips are dead and the teeth are cold..." Liang Bida chuckled: "Adjutant Zhang, what you said is too evil. With the four thousand elite of your national army, you are guarding the narrow pass and have a strong defensive position, so you can wait for work at ease. If you are not familiar with the roads, how can you drive straight in easily? According to what you said, are Brigadier Liu and the officers and soldiers of the national army all worthless?"

Adjutant Zhang didn't expect that the mission of this trip would be such a result. It's nothing to let this Tubalu taunt and sarcasm, but Balu's refusal to join the war is no joke.Adjutant Zhang bite the bullet and said: "Commander Liang, your army and the headquarters have always been sincerely united and joined hands to fight against Japan, so there is the existence and stability of the Aotu Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area. It's all..." Before Adjutant Zhang finished speaking, Liang Bida cut him off with a wave of his hand: "Go back and report to your Brigadier Commander Liu, I have the final say on the Eighth Route Army in Outu Mountain. Just say that I, Liang Bida, and Liang Daya said it, Devils 'mopping up' We are soldiers who will block the water and cover the soil. Everyone watch their own doors. Such a large piece of fat is delivered to your cutting board. We don't care. If he

If he escapes to me, I will drive him there again, and I will beat you back.I don't do things that plunder people's beauty. " Adjutant Zhang almost burst into tears: "Commander Liang, if there is anything wrong with your army in this department, I will look to Commander Liang Haihan, no matter what, they are all my compatriots. The military situation is urgent right now, this joke... can't be played..." Liang Bida suddenly lowered his face: "Adjutant Zhang, can you speak like this in front of this commander? Let alone you, a small adjutant, even if Liu Hanying is here, you have to smile when you talk to me." Call the guard Huang Dehu: "See off the guests."

Chapter Sixteen two Adjutant Zhang came here in high spirits, but returned dejectedly.After returning home, he told Liang Bida's words in full in front of the brigade commander.Liu Hanying stayed silent for a while after listening, and finally asked Wen Zeyuan: "Who is this Liang Bida?" Wen Zeyuan said: "Liang Bida must be Liang Daya. This person was originally the captain of the county team in Chenbu County, Tuba Road. He is a good hand at dealing with the Japanese. A few days ago, Luo'an Prefecture was in chaos. Da Zuo was almost blown up by someone he sent."

Liu Hanying stayed for a while with a blank face, looking up to the sky and sighing: "It's a mistake, it's a mistake, the devil in this world will be the captain for three days with a gun, and the commander for five days, and he may not be able to sneak around. It's easier said than done." Wen Zeyuan said: "Don't underestimate Liang Daya, it is said that this man is Yang Tinghui's confidant, he looks reckless at first glance, but he is actually very tricky. Lao Yang and the others dare to hand over the housekeeping team to him at this time. Giving it to him should not be taken lightly."

Liu Hanying still had a sad face: "But this mud-legged boy refuses to cooperate, what should we do?" Ji Hatian said: "Can the brigade give him a compulsory order in the name of the chief of the Outushan Special Administrative Office of the National Revolutionary Government, and specifically arrange their actions. If they don't implement it, they will be suspected of being a traitor by destroying the Anti-Japanese War." Report to the Minister's Department, just like Jiangnan, and disarm them." Zuo Wenlu said: "It's not right. Today, unlike the past two years, the incident in southern Anhui has attracted worldwide attention, the international public opinion is turbulent, and the high command is under great pressure. I am afraid that Shangfeng will not agree to such an action under such circumstances. Besides, even if Shangfeng got it right, our army has no time to make a move due to the Japanese army’s massive offensive recently. Let’s take a step back and say that even if all the roads are clear, this move still cannot be taken. As everyone knows, today’s Tuba Road is no longer Back then, the mob had expanded its personnel, equipment, and organization, and it had grown to a considerable scale. If it really started fighting, it would not be easy to solve. I see if this is possible, and I wrote to Yang Tinghui in the name of the traveler, asking him to come forward to mediate. Naturally, Liang Daya did not dare to resist. This time we must pay special attention to the use of troops, and give them more opportunities to fight against Japan."

Until now, Liu Hanying's dull face relaxed a little, and said: "This plan can be considered." Then he turned his head and asked Wen Zeyuan: "What do you think?" Wen Zeyuan sat on the purple high-backed chair, leaned back with his chest folded, still in a calm posture, and said calmly: "The opinion of the Chief of the Left Staff is very meritorious. But in my opinion , is not the best policy. Even if Yang Tinghui gave Liang Daya an order, Liang Daya did not dare not to follow it, but after all, he carried it out passively. He was unhappy and did not fight hard. In fact, the article should still be on Liang Daya Do it. You can easily imagine that Liang Daya was originally a martial artist, and it is his duty to resist the Japanese. He should not be vague. I dare say that even if we don’t ask him anymore, he will never stand by and watch. Of course that would be the case. Come on, coordination becomes a problem. We still have to bring him over before the fight begins."

Liu Hanying frowned and said, "But that Liang Bida has already finished talking, what should we do?" ? , The traveler ignored a problem that shouldn't be ignored." At this point, Wen Zeyuan paused. Liu Hanying looked at Wen Zeyuan in puzzlement, quietly waiting for the next sentence. Wen Zeyuan went on to say: "Everyone may wish to think about it, and Liang Daya has jumped from a guerrilla captain to an eight-way leader. The division commander of Aotu Mountain can be said to have reached the sky in one step.As far as I know, there are many objections to this within the Aotushan Communist Party, although With Yang Tinghui and Wang Lantian as strong backing, Jiang Gubei, Dou Yuquan, Zhang Pujing and others deal with it on the surface, but they don't buy it in their hearts of.What Liang Daya needs most right now is to establish prestige, and the recognition of him by the headquarters is very important.But we lost a favorable favor. We didn't respond to his promotion in time, which already made him unhappy.The big battle is imminent, and as a new official, he has three fires to burn. I'm sure he is now gearing up in secret, waiting for the time to show his talents, which can't be wrong.But everyone, please pay attention, Liang Daya is a very conceited person. In the past, the coordinator between the two armies used to negotiate with Lao Yang in person, but this time he sent an adjutant to contact him, which made him feel very embarrassed.You know, he is full of longing for the minister to go out in person, but seeing only one adjutant, can he not be discouraged?Once discouraged, it is reasonable to make things difficult. " After Wen Zeyuan finished speaking, there was silence in the combat room.Obviously, all the officers agree with Wen Zeyuan's analysis.Liu Hanying sighed softly again, and said, "My brother's analysis is indeed incisive, but how can I make up for it? Is it true that I, a major general of the national army, really want to call this mud-legged fellow brother? How decent is it, really... ...doesn't make sense." Wen Zeyuan said: "If Luzai really can't save face, I can do it for you brother, but the weight is much lighter. I think it's better for Luzao to come forward in person, but it's just a temporary solution." Liu Hanying stroked his forehead and pondered, After a long time, he raised his eyes and inspected the crowd: "What do you think?" Zuo Wenlu said: "You can condescend to go to Qingliang Temple in Meiling for a walk. You can not only worship the Buddha, but also invite the Arhats. It is also a meritorious act." Jiha Tian and several heads of the delegation who have been silent all the time also expressed their approval.Liu Hanying then stood up and said, "Well, I'll go meet Liang Daya in the near future." After a pause, he turned to look at Wen Zeyuan and said, "Brother, I think it's better for the two of us to go together. Give him face, and give him enough face." Chapter Sixteen three The danger is like a moving black cloud, under the cover of night, it quietly floats towards Cuijiaji, where the fourth district of Chenbu County is located.The common people in Cuijiaji were unaware of this.A dim yellow lantern reflected the figures of Li Wenbin and Cui Eryue. Li Wenbin arrived at Cuijiaji before sunset.Since Dongfang Wenyin was transferred back to the division, the special committee and the division were redefined, and Li Wenbin was in charge of the political work of the county brigade.The day before, Li Wenbin and Zhu Yudao, the new captain of the Chenbu County Brigade, led a squadron to Meiling to receive the Kuomintang Army Liu Hanying, Wen Zeyuan and other dignitaries. success.He saw that Liang Bida, who had become a commander, talked and laughed freely with Liu Hanying and others. Not only did he completely lose the original rough appearance, but he really had the demeanor of the chief of the Eighth Route Army. During the entire meeting, Zhang Pujing and Dou Yuquan also cooperated with Liang Bida very tacitly, and there was no serious quarrel between them at all.What makes Li Wenbin especially unacceptable is that Dou Yuquan, Jiang Gubei and others actually behaved in front of Liang Bida. Work hard, but now it's good, every time it's Commander Liang, Commander Liang is short, and the look of leaning on others is disgusting, as if he is worried that Liang Bida will kill him at any time. After the meeting, Li Wenbin wanted to stab Jiang Gubei with a few words, but Jiang Gubei followed Liang Bida's back and acted as an attendant with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, sending the Kuomintang off.Li Wenbin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, found Dou Yuquan, and made a few sarcasm in cadence, saying that they had become friends with Liang Bida so quickly, which made people doubt their personality.Dou Yuquan criticized him lukewarmly, pointing out that his mountain-top thinking is not only wrong, but also dangerous.This made him even more depressed, and there was a kind of dark worry.At that time, he retorted at Dou Yuquan, saying: "It is true that I object to Liang Daya, because I can't understand his warlord style. Among comrades, it is upright to speak out when you have an opinion. But you obviously have opinions in your heart. But on the surface, he was friendly and didn’t point out any problems. It seemed that he supported Liang Daya, but in fact he encouraged his bad habits of domineering. This kind of attitude is harmful to the revolution.” Dou Yuquan said: "Why are we obedient to others? How can a deputy commander always pick on the commander? I think you, a comrade, have gotten into a dead end. You don't have the slightest tolerance for comrades, and you are really harmful to the revolution. of." Li Wenbin is indeed on the tip of his horn.No matter what he thinks, Liang Bida doesn't look like a revolutionist. If people like Liang Bida are revolutionaries, then what are they professional revolutionaries who are highly educated and educated in red theory? Dou Yuquan repeatedly emphasized to him that revolutionaries must be tolerant, not only must see the shortcomings of comrades, but also the strengths of comrades. Dou Yuquan said: "Let's talk about you, Lao Li, who is very principled, hates evil like hatred, and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. This is your preciousness. But ask yourself, is there nothing wrong with you?You said that Liang Bida was corrupt, but I didn't see any evidence.But your corruption is obvious to all.Recently I heard a joke that your little landlord Cui Eryue gave birth to a child with her mother. Cui Eryue did not have enough milk, but her mother had enough milk. Cui Eryue took the child back to Cuijiaji. Nephew steals milk from uncle.Some people say that both children are like you.What system do you think this is? " It's all right for Li Wenbin not to listen to this. When he heard that there was such a rumor, the veins on his forehead burst out at that time. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Which traitor made this rumor? It's too despicable. The person who made this rumor It can only be the bandits and hooligans of Aotu Mountain, who should be shot if they are caught." Dou Yuquan said nonchalantly: "We don't believe it's true either. But it's a fact that you and that Cui Eryue were messed up. Therefore, everyone is not perfect, and we should be tolerant.We are making a revolution here. Although we have an important mission, we are not saints who are transcendental and refined, and we are not without emotions. We can understand it.But you have to be clear, we have been taking care of this matter for you, if you let Lao Zhang find out, you will be finished. " The meeting with Dou Yuquan this time broke up unhappy again.It is not groundless to say that he has something to do with Cui Eryue, but it is too base and dirty to bring him together with Cui Eryue's mother.It is tolerable, which is unbearable.Also, Dou Yuquan used Zhang Pujing's principles to blackmail him, which is obviously malicious.This made him feel even heavier. When they broke up, Li Wenbin couldn't help stabbing Dou Yuquan a few words, saying: "Old Dou, I think we all have to learn from Comrade Zhang Pujing. Da Ya, but endangering the revolutionary cause of Aotu Mountain.” Dou Yuquan turned his face cold and said: "Who is playing tricks? Liang Bida is a good comrade. I am sincerely supporting Comrade Liang Bida's work. I don't have any dark thoughts in my heart. Why do you regard us all as revolutionaries?" Enemy? You are always suspicious of ghosts and gods, as if the whole world is full of ghosts, and you are pure and innocent, which is really unreasonable." Li Wenbin finally came back to his senses, and couldn't help but gasp—well, in a blink of an eye, he, Li Wenbin, became the opposite of the revolution, and he, Dou Yuquan, suddenly became a good comrade with a magnanimous mind and an overall situation.In a fit of anger, Li Wenbin gritted his teeth and said, "Well, if you say you don't have any dark thoughts in your heart, then I'll tell him what you planned to deal with Liang Daya. Do you have the guts?" Li Wenbin originally thought that he would frighten Dou Yuquan with this move, but he didn't expect that Dou Yuquan didn't care at all. He was just stunned, and then he laughed heartily and said, "Oh, Lao Li, you still say that other people Psychologically gloomy, I think you are... How should I put it, saying that you judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain is too hurtful. But, you really make me dumbfounded. Do you always think that this matter is I, Dou Yuquan, have a heart disease. Do you think that you are doing me a favor if you have grasped the situation and don’t tell it, so you can beat me from time to time? Lao Li, let me tell you, you are really wrong. If you don’t believe me, go Ask Liang Bida, he already knew about this matter. Do you know what he told me? He said this: Lao Dou, you put me to death at that time, and I believe you also wanted to carry out the orders of your superiors. The policy is also sincerely for the revolution. Since I didn't kill me, it means that the revolution still needs us to continue fighting side by side. I, Liang Bida, am a rough man. I only know that my enemies are Japanese devils and traitors. What is the misunderstanding between comrades? When you quarrel, you swear in one room, and when you don’t quarrel, you drink on the table. Don’t mention this matter again. Whoever mentions it is upset and kindly sabotaging the unity and resistance. Lao Li, listen to this, it doesn’t look like I’m making it up Right? If you don’t believe me, you can go to Liang Bida to report the incident and see what his attitude is.” These words left Li Wenbin dumbfounded.Of course he wouldn't go to Liang Daya to confront him and prove that Dou Yuquan's words were true or false - that would be even worse.As a result, he felt even more isolated.In this way, in Aotu Mountain, everyone can accept Liang Daya, even Zhang Pujing cooperates perfectly with Liang Daya in face, everyone is a gentleman and open-minded, only Li Wenbin is a villain who often caresses and is stubborn It's unreasonable - and it's unreasonable.As everyone expected, he was still pulling Liang Daya's pigtails, it was like lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot. On the way back to Chenbu County in the afternoon, everyone was happily talking about showing their hands to the Kuomintang. Some people talked about the ten yellow woolen coats Liu Hanying gave to the head of the division and the two hundred new guns for the team. Li Wenbin But he remained silent.When passing by Huanggang, he suddenly proposed to Zhu Yudao to go to Cuijiaji in the fourth district to check the work of the Armed Forces Committee there. Not long after Zhu Yudao became the team leader, it was naturally inconvenient to obstruct the actions of the old political commissar, so he assigned a squad to provide security for him, and told the team leader to pay attention to the safety of Political Commissar Li, and the two separated. Li Wenbin came to Cuijiaji at this time. It was just an excuse to check the work of the military committee. His real purpose was to meet Cui Eryue, who was leaving relatives to return to her mother's house.At the beginning, when he was in the most difficult time, it was this rural woman from Bump Mountain who gave him considerable comfort. He conquered her as a revolutionary, and she fell in love with her with the heart of a village girl full of longing for revolution. How wonderful is the secret love they established under the banner of the revolution after leaving her behind.Now, besides her, who else can I tell my heart full of worries? But, after all, times have changed.On this night a few years later, Li Wenbin was obviously suffering from a spiritual storm.Those shrewd eyes seemed to have lost a lot of their brilliance, and they became deeper and darker behind the lenses. Under the lantern, the original fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray-yellow paper.He smoked cigarettes one after another, the strong smell of tobacco permeated the wing room, and his mood was soaked in the dark blue smoke. Cui Eryue looked at the leader and lover she admired distressedly, unable to imagine how much distress was in his heart.She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. She just held his hand gently, silently conveying her sympathy and love to him through the palm of her hand.His hand was very cold, even though Cui Eryue warmed it with his own warmth for a long time, it was still cold. Cui Eryue suddenly had an ominous premonition from the bottom of her heart.She never regretted it, never forgot him, even after she had to marry, her heart still belonged to him. Chapter Sixteen Four The night was already very deep, and outside the window was a lake of dark sky, with faint stars, as if they were far away.The village fell into a deep sleep, without the crowing of chickens or the barking of dogs.This unprecedented tranquility is like an invisible net, which is quietly opening.Li Wenbin finally spoke: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the revolution has become more and more confused in the past few years. The struggle situation created by comrades in blood and fire was handed over to such a few people. Who is the loyalty of the revolution? Soldiers? Can they count? Where were they when I came to Aotu Mountain to do underground work? I’m afraid they hadn’t even heard of the revolution at that time, how much did they contribute?” Cui Eryue knew that Li Wenbin was not only referring to Liang Bida's promotion, but what he didn't understand was the use of Zhu Yudao.If there was a misunderstanding between Li Wenbin and Liang Bida, then the relationship between him and Zhu Yudao is not only a matter of misunderstanding, but a deeper resentment may have formed in it. Zhu Yudao almost died because of Li Wenbin. Now Zhu Yudao has replaced Liang Bida as the captain of Chenbu County, the military command is still firmly in their hands, and Li Wenbin, as an old revolutionary who has been working in Chenbu County for several years, In this adjustment, not only was he not promoted, but instead he was partnered with a novice with low qualifications and a novice who had resentment, and he even had to be controlled by him. "Old Li...you were the first to come to Chenbu County to do work, but we don't understand the organizational matters. I think everyone can see your achievements. If you want to open some... ..." Li Wenbin said with a gloomy face: "I can think about it, but I don't feel at ease, do you understand? I am not at ease." Cui Eryue stood up and said, "Old Li, I think you are not having a good time tonight, go to bed early, I..." Li Wenbin grabbed Cui Eryue's hand: "Er Yue, don't leave, I'm a little... don't know what happened, I'm a little... scared." Li Wenbin finally exposed his fragile side. He had a premonition that the obstacles in front of him were not only the thoughtful Zhu Yudao, but also the scheming Liang Daya. With his current mentality, even Dou Yuquan Those scheming eyes seemed to hide a cold murderous intent.He regretted that he shouldn't have repeatedly mentioned in front of Dou Yuquan that he once advocated "cutting grass and roots" against Liang Daya. This person has teeth in his stomach, and you will never be able to grasp his true heart.He didn't believe that Dou Yuquan really had the guts to confess to Liang Daya.It is definitely not a good thing for one person to master another person's secret. This account is not counted now, but it will be settled in the future.He thought he was being too impulsive.After being silent for a while, Cui Eryue had no choice but to sit down again, and said in a tone full of warmth: "Old Li, I really don't know how to make you happy. Tell me, what should I do?" Li Wenbin squeezed Cui Eryue's hand, looked up into her eyes, and said after a long time, "Er Yue, I have been in Ou Cong Mountain for the past few years, and you have a deep affection for me. It can be said that you are me here. The only relative and the most intimate comrade, let me tell you that when we carry out the revolution, we must fight not only the Japanese devils, but also the domestic reactionaries, as well as the erroneous ideas and styles inside. I don’t believe Liang Daya They are the real Bolsheviks, at least not yet. So, I will stick to my principles, as long as I find their wrong behavior, I will firmly resist. Perhaps, they will ostracize me, if I am wronged Criticize and strike, can you believe that I am a loyal Bolshevik?" Cui Eryue didn't know what Bolshevik was, but she nodded and said, "You led me on this road, and I realized the greatness of our cause through you. I will always believe in you." Li Wenbin's eyes didn't emit a little light until now, and a layer of moisture welled up. Cui Eryue said again: "Old Li, I really hope you can protect yourself more. I am someone else's person now, and I miss you in my heart, but I can't take care of you. It depends on you to take care of yourself. " Li Wenbin said: "February, I got it. Don't worry, I will protect myself. I will fight tenaciously. As long as I, Li Wenbin, don't die, and as long as I am still in the concave-convex mountain base, I will not be depressed. I will use my Let them see who the real Bolsheviks are." After speaking, he hugged Cui Eryue and sprinkled two lines of hot tears on her shoulders.Cui Eryue stood up and handed her round and soft arms to Li Wenbin's slightly throbbing shoulders.After being separated for a long time, the two vigorous young bodies are warmly bonded together again, conveying infinite sorrow and happiness.They hugged and stood like this for a long time, and finally entangled and stumbled to the bed where they had been waiting for a long time... The fastened wooden door was kicked open at this moment. When a shiny black gun was pointed at the back of Li Wenbin's head, Cui Eryue saw a familiar face in horror. Before she could yell out, a crisp sound hit the center of her eyebrows, and it immediately bloomed into a bright flower. blood flower. Chapter Sixteen Fives Everything happened suddenly. A small team of the "Imperial Association Army" and more than ten Japanese soldiers attacked Cuijiaji with the speed of flying into the sky, avoided the residence of the district squadron, went straight to a hidden place, and plotted against the sentry post. Li Wenbin, secretary of the Chenbu County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and political commissar of the Chenbu County Brigade, was kidnapped-the intelligence the enemy possesses can be said to be astonishingly accurate.  Cuijiaji is located between Meiling and Chenbu Town, but it is seven or eight miles closer to Qingliang Temple than Chenbu Town, so Liang Bida and other district chiefs were the first to get the bad news.At this time, it was already the time when the sky was about to light up.Liang Bida reckoned that within two hours, this group of enemies would not be able to retreat to Luo'an Prefecture, so he made a decisive decision and immediately led the division's communication platoon with Zhang Pujing, Dou Yuquan, Jiang Jiahu and others to gallop to Xujiaji with more than 20 riders. Be ready to intercept there.When we arrived at Xujiaji, the sky was already bright, and at this time Zhu Yudao also led a squadron to arrive.Seeing Liang Bida coming on a flying horse, Zhu Yudao stood upright in a daze. Liang Bida got off his horse, flicked the rein, strode over with red eyes, poked Zhu Yudao's forehead with the muzzle of his pistol, and roared angrily, "You did a good job. If the rescue fails, I'll take your head." Zhu Yudao lowered his head and said, "I've neglected my duty." Liang Bida sneered and said, "Dereliction of duty? Why are you dereliction of duty? I suspect that you have been used as an insider by traitors. You are a captain, but you actually lost the political commissar to me. Who gave you the power, only let a dozen people follow him , you dare to go back to sleep with peace of mind?" Zhu Yudao poked his neck and said, "It was Political Commissar Li who proposed to go to Cuijiaji. I will consider..." Liang Bida interrupted Zhu Yudao with a wave of his hand: "Are you thinking? What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about that nerd who has a woman waiting for him in Cuijiaji? You're pretty good at being an adult, aren't you? I think you are uneasy and kind, You are watching your comrades make mistakes. This time, he made a mistake and you committed a crime. After today, you have to make it clear." Jiang Jiahu hurried over, and Yuanchang said: "Commander, we will talk about the responsibility later. Company Commander Liu came back and reported that a group of people was moving eastward from the mountain road between Fangyan and Xiaodian. It was probably that group. enemy." Zhu Yudao pulled out his pistol and said viciously to Liang Bida, "I'm going to lay an ambush. I'm going to catch two alive and come back to see if I'm the enemy's spy. If not, I'm going to see you Commander Yang." Liang Bida sneered and said, "You can't get away with the result anyway." After speaking, he flew on his horse, whipped the horse and galloped eastward first. The place where the fire was caught was in a forest southwest of the shop. Sure enough, it was a squadron of the first brigade of the "Huangxie Army" in Luo'an Prefecture and more than ten Japanese soldiers, led by a lieutenant of the Japanese army and a squadron leader surnamed Wan of the "Huangxie Army".After successfully attacking and capturing the prisoners, they are retreating rapidly. Liang Bida and Dou Yuquan commanded the troops to disperse and encircle the enemy.Seven or eight minutes after the battle started, the enemy killed or injured more than ten people.The rest of the enemy used the Japanese army to resist tenaciously, and the squadron leader surnamed Wan and dozens of puppet soldiers escorted Li Wenbin to escape. Liang Bida led his troops to chase to the mountain pass, and seeing that he was about to enter the enemy-occupied area, Zhu Yudao hurriedly called out the gunners, and asked Zhang Pujing and Dou Yuquan for instructions to use three mortars to intercept the fire. Dou Yuquan said: "Concentrate firepower and hit that mountain pass." Zhang Pujing pondered for a while, and said, "Old Li will be honored if he shoots with a cannon." Dou Yuquan said: "However, if we don't fight, Lao Li won't be able to save Lao Li even if the enemy runs away. If we fight, we still have to fight. The gunner just needs to be careful." Zhang Pujing said: "A cannon is no better than a gun. I'm afraid it's not as accurate. Old Liang, this determination is up to you." With a dark face, Liang Bida glanced into the distance, then turned around and glanced at Dou Yuquan and Zhu Yudao, gritted his teeth and said, "You can't shoot, the gunner unloads." Then he stared at Zhu Yudao viciously and said, "Are you What do you mean, do you want to kill people? Let me tell you, come back and make a rescue plan for me. Rescue Comrade Li Wenbin and let him prove your innocence. If you can’t save Li Wenbin, it’s up to you. I’m afraid you are full of mouths. It’s also hard to say clearly.” Since they couldn't fire artillery, the group could only watch helplessly as the Japanese and the "Imperial Association Army" escorted Li Wenbin out of the base area. Chapter Sixteen six Cui Jiaji was attacked and Li Wenbin was captured, which put the deployment of the Aotu Mountain against the "Autumn Offensive" into crisis. Later, intelligence revealed that this was an espionage activity carefully planned by Yamano Dazuo and the traitor Yao Hulu.Li Wenbin's whereabouts in Cuijiaji was provided to Yao Hulu by the traitor Cui Erzhui who was hiding in Cuijiaji.Cui Erzhui is Cui Eryue's distant family uncle. Since Cui Eryue returned to her natal family from Jiangdianji ten days ago, she has been under close surveillance by Cui Erzhui.Cui Erzhui knew that his niece was having an affair with the Communist party secretary, and expected that this piece of bait could catch a piece of fat, so he worked tirelessly to spy day and night.Sure enough, the opportunity came. Cui Erzhui is a well-known rascal in Cuijiaji, he does everything except serious things, the more unrighteous things he does, the more honestly he does them.This time, Cui Erzhuizi did not do anything else to report the news, but for money.For this piece of information, he got three hundred yuan.It happened that the three hundred yuan exposed him.A few days ago, he pushed Pai Gow with President Cui of the "Maintenance Association" and the Ma Mian craftsman, and lost everything.In less than three days, he became rich in the blink of an eye. Not only did he pay off his gambling debts, but he also went to work as a fairy in a kiln on Xiehe Street for two days. In the wing of Huazhizi, a prostitute on Xiehe Street, Cui Er's braid was tied up with a rope, and brought to the head of the division. There is no evidence at all, only more than 200 yuan copied from his house, and I only asked one question, where did the money come from.Cui Er's braid was so frightened that his soul flew into the sky, he talked about gourds and gourds, swearing and swearing all over the world, that is to say, it is not smooth. Liang Bida and Zhang Pujing sat on a large bench, and asked Wu Liansen, the intelligence chief, to carry a pistol. Every time Cui Erzhuo told a lie, he shot him in the crotch.Once the three shots were fired, Cui Erzhui seemed to be seriously ill, he didn't even have the strength to tremble, lying on the ground like a mangy dog, he recruited whoever was asked to recruit, and recruited who was not allowed to recruit.So the truth came out.The situation is clear, but the situation has become more complicated.The plan for the anti-Japanese army's "autumn offensive" was agreed upon by the head of the Aotushan Army Division together with Liu Hanying, Zeyuan of the Kuomintang Army and others, and an advance order was issued at the battalion cadre meeting. Although the specific deployment has not yet been clarified, these Cadres with rich experience in struggle can be said to understand the intentions of the division chiefs.Now that a secretary of the county party committee and political commissar of the county brigade has fallen into the hands of the enemy, this is no small matter anyway. At the emergency meeting, several chiefs were worried, and a very real problem bit their nerves.Chief of Staff Jiang Jiahu proposed: "The capture of Li Wenbin involves two issues. One is whether the original plan should be changed, and the other is whether to communicate with the friendly army. There is still time to change the plan, but in case..." Dou Yuquan said: "The situation is obvious, Lao Li is in the hands of the enemy, and our... I think we need to adjust our plan." Zhang Pujing asked: "If the plan is adjusted, do you want to talk to Liu Hanying?" Dou Yuquan said: "Of course we need to ventilate. The battle depends on the two families fighting together." Zhang Pujing said: "But how do we tell others? Let's say that one of our comrades fell into the enemy's hands. We can't trust this comrade. We think he might defect to the enemy, so we have to adjust our deployment? But can we tell them this? Isn’t this putting the shit bowl on his own head? Besides, Lao Li’s situation is unknown now, and he may be suffering painful torture in the clutches of the enemy. He doubts the steadfastness of our comrades without any basis , Isn’t that too distrustful of comrades, isn’t it too serious…” 窦玉泉心情沉重地说：“这不是相信不相信同志的问题，战争是无情的。一个同志被俘了，只会有两种可能，一是他视死如归大义凛然，不做任何损害自己队伍的事情。这种可能当然是占主流的。可是，作为战斗的指挥者，我们也不能不考虑到第二种可能。老梁，你是怎么想的？” 梁必达一直在面无表情地吸旱烟。对于李文彬，窦玉泉和张普景都比他熟悉，他想多听听窦、张二人的意见。吸了六七窝旱烟，梁必达的心里就有底了，但是他没有马上表态，只是同姜家湖交换了一下眼神，彼此心领神会。 梁必达说：“老姜你谈谈。” 姜家湖说：“李文彬同志被俘，反映了几个方面的问题，一是我们的防奸保卫工作近期有松懈的迹象。事情虽然出在崔家集，但是其它地点有没有？有没有还没有暴露出来的奸细？ 会不会还有其它的情报通过其它渠道被敌人掌握了？我看这些可能不能完全排除。仅仅从这个道理上讲，就有必要调整计划。第二，从李文彬被俘的过程来看，他是因为违反了党的纪律擅自行动才被敌人钻了空子。实话说，我对这个同志是有看法的，他虽然革命激情高昂，但是武装斗争经验不足。在勇敢方面也有欠缺。能不能经受得住敌人的拷打和引诱，不是我们几个人坐在这间屋子里就能得出结论的。所以我同意窦副司令员的意见，一是调整部署，二是通报友军。 " 张普景说：“这样的做法，基本上就是给老李判定为必然变节了。我还是不相信老李会变节，老李是个受党教育的老布尔什维克了，我相信他会保持一个革命者的忠诚。” 姜家湖说：“我们必须从作战实际出发，把问题想得更复杂一些。” 窦玉泉也说：“我也相信李文彬同志会保持忠诚。但部署还是要调整。战争是一门科学，每一个细节，尤其是突然出现的细节，都要引起我们的高度敏感。宁使我有虚防，无使彼得实偿，这是战争中的一个重要原则，尤其是在出现被俘人员之后应该特别注意的。” 梁必达说：“老窦说得好。我们应该从最高的地方看待我们的同志，但是我们也要从最坏的地方思考我们的问题。” 张普景问：“怎么跟刘汉英他们说？让他们看我们的笑话？” 梁必达皱着眉头想了一会儿，说：“就说在凹凸山发现敌人的奸细渗透比较厉害，以提醒他们注意为幌子，提出改变计划的设想。” 窦玉泉击掌嘘了一声：“好，老梁这个主意好。不说什么事，先暗示。” 张普景说：“老李被掳的事他们迟早要知道，他们要问起来我们怎么说？” 梁必达说：“那还不好说？确有其事嘛。不过这跟调整计划没有关系。我们就跟他说，没有老李被俘这回事，我们也要改变计划，一是糊弄奸细，二是出其不意。我们的决心在前，老李被掳在后。” 张普景想来想去，也只好这样了。于是便让姜家湖前往舒霍埠同刘汉英勾通。 自从梁必达上任分区司令员之后，分区的几位首长配合得还算不错。梁必达对张普景和窦玉泉表现了极大的尊重。机关干部们都能看得出来，梁必达的尊重是真诚的。一是虚心，经常向张、窦二人讨教，就战术理论问题认真地当了窦玉泉的学生。二是谦让，重要问题不急于表态，先是默默地听，再同参谋长姜家湖细细推敲，决心定下之后，老老实实地提出来，等党委书记和代理政委张普景最后拍板。 不久从舒霍埠传来了一个消息，尽管多少已经有了一些思想准备，但是这个消息还是让分区和特委感到了震惊——李文彬变节了，不仅向日军提供了他所知道的凹凸山国共两军的兵员装备状况，还参与了日军“秋季攻势”计划的修订。 情报是国军情报人员高秋江通过打入“皇协军”中的内线窃出来的。 刘汉英写了一封绝密信，派参谋长左文录亲自送到梁必达的手上。信中虽然表示了沉重的心情，但字里行间隐隐约约地还是能看出些许揶揄的嘲讽意味。 梁必达立即通知张普景和窦玉泉、姜家湖等人，几个人把密信传看完毕，面面相觑，谁也没说什么。 Chapter Sixteen seven 高秋江确切地得到莫干山的死讯，已经是反“秋季攻势”取得胜利之后的事情了。 由于高秋江的情报准确及时，使凹凸山国共双方的抗日武装得以及时联手，在出现变节分子的极其不利的情况下，梁必达处变不惊，迅速制定对策，双方长官能够审时度势，迅速达成统一思路，调整了战术计划。尤其是八路军凹凸山分区梁必达司令员提出将计就计的作战原则，施行诱敌深入战术，在河口镇和天堂寨一线部署了坚强的防御阵线，国民党军和八路军共投入兵力四千余人，使敌久攻不下。战斗第二阶段，针对敌人迂回的企图，两军又果断撤离主战场，在陈埠至二龙山之间广大的丘陵地带对深入之敌实施穿插分割，将残敌包围在大小七个战场上，凹凸山军民历经两天的浴血苦战，终于粉碎了日军一举荡平凹凸山的野心，并且俘敌数百，缴获一批辎重。 刘汉英派人给高秋江传达了他的口头嘉勉。 刘汉英说，除了他本人和旅部对高秋江的嘉勉以外，还将高秋江深入敌军腹地，不避生死获取情报的杰出作为呈报了最高长官部，长官部对于高女士的行为深为赞许，将颁文授予她“挺身巾帼”的称号，正式文本不久将到凹凸山，届时旅部还要宣布对她的特别任命。 高秋江没有理由不为自己的成就感到欣慰。可是这欣慰迅速便被突如其来的巨大的悲愤淹没了。 传达口信的是“战地女子挺身队”的一名姐妹，她在将长官交代的事情办完之后，试探着问起了高秋江同莫干山的关系。高秋江回答说是亲戚关系，这位姐妹便极其神秘地告诉了她，莫干山在半年前就被人打死了。 高秋江在那一瞬间犹如五雷轰顶。直到报信的姐妹离开，她才发现自己的嘴里含了满口鲜血。在这个胜利的秋日，充塞在高秋江心灵的，除了悲愤，便是一副宽阔高大的身躯。 她不相信莫干山会被一伙身份不明的草寇打死。这里面一定有隐情。莫干山之死有名堂。 度过了漫长的悲痛，高秋江的脑海里倏然电光一样闪过一个问号——阴谋，或许这一切都是阴谋的组成部分。 她似乎突然明白了，为什么在初春的那个阳光明媚的日子里，刘汉英显得那样的和蔼和善良，刘汉英对她交代任务时是那样无微不至，刘汉英甚至还亲切地询问了她的爱情。and also…… 高秋江简直不敢再想下去了，还有，还有那场澎湃大雪里喧闹的围猎，甚至还有那盆炉火旁的生死相恋，都有可能是一个设计周密用心良苦的阴谋的组成部分。是他们共同杀害了莫干山。一夜之间，高秋江的心灵从秋天走进了冬天。一个人从这个世界上不动声色地消失了，一段刻骨铭心的故事刚刚开了个头就结束了。她惟一的依托和归宿粉碎了。那么她为什么还要战斗呢，她究竟是为谁在战斗呢?他们杀害了她的心爱人，她却在执行着他们的命令，她在效命于他的敌人，她甚至认为自己就是一个帮凶。 在凹凸山军民反“秋季攻势”取得胜利的第二十一天的下午，秋日依然，肃杀的秋色从远处的凹凸山脉滑下来，涌进了小城的窗口，注满了高秋江的心扉。她凝望着窗外摇曳的梧桐树叶，看着它们一点一点变黄，一点一点枯萎，一点一点地失去了生命的色泽。她像是在读一本书，读着一个人的眼睛，读着一段如烟似尘的历史。胜利于她已经毫无意义了。她的情感被一个事实凝结在寒冷的冰层上。一个人连她的爱人都失去了，那么她还要什么胜利呢？可——笑！ 恍惚中，她的思绪穿过泪的烟云逆流而上，她一遍一遍地看着他，看着他穿着那身暗蓝色的大褂，看着他在一望无际的平原阡陌上纵横驰骋，看着他在瓢泼如注的雨中驮着一个俏皮的女子艰难而幸福的跋涉。终于，她的视野里出现了一盆火炭，她读到了她生命中最灿烂动人的一页——那是一盆神奇的火炭，它注定要燃烧在她和他共同拥有的天地里。就是在凹凸山庙子岗旁边七十九团团部莫干山的屋子里，在那一盆如醉如痴通红燃烧的火塘边，一对未成眷属的有情人终于燃烧并且融化在一起。 现在，上苍已经告知，那原来竟是他们惟一的和最后的一个晚上。 那天，当高秋江坦然地解除自己身上的最后一件包装时，莫干山的眼前迷茫一片，那间小屋仿佛已不再是小屋，在莫干山的眼里，它幻化成了一派春天的原野，刚刚绽蕾的油菜花就在脚下俏皮地开放，在地埂边紫红色的蒲公英的点缀下，簇拥着摇曳着汇成一望无际的金色海洋，涟漪如浪，一圈圈地推向天穹尽头。在这奇卉异葩的世界里，一个洁白的美丽冉冉升起了，像太阳一样照耀在烂漫的春天里。两行泪水从莫干山的眼眶里汹涌而出，流过干燥的脸膛和蓬乱的胡须，汩汩地坠在地上。莫干山屈下了他的高大的身躯，颤抖着跪了下去。 “秋江……我对不起你……可是，你这是为什么啊……” “大山子，过来吧，让我们做一回真正的有情人吧。” “可是……可……” “不要紧，我知道你是一个君子，我不会坏了你的德行，苍天有眼，也会原谅我的，这是我的第一次，也必然是最后的一次。我的身子是干净的。过来吧，我可怜的大山子，有了这一回，我的路就好走了。” 莫干山终于站了起来，一步一步地走向高秋江，弯下腰去，把她轻轻地托在手上，又轻轻地走到床前。高秋江闭上了眼睛，长长的睫毛微微悸动。 火塘像是一个慈祥的老者，燃烧出会意的笑声。鲜艳的玫瑰色弥漫了热烈的小屋。莫干山长久地伫立在床前，安静地俯瞰着一泓清澈的泉水。 莫干山缓缓地解下了自己的军装。 在那个重要的时刻，她知道他的心里在涌动着怎样的波涛。 他最终越过了那条宽宽的河流，向她走过来了。 他站在她的床前，像是一个将军在检阅他的士兵，没有惊呼，没有赞美，只有热血在血管里奔涌澎湃。 她就那么死去一般长久地等待着，不再震颤，不再慌乱，心平如水，思绪如空，她在等待中复苏着遥远的思恋和渴望，为他展开了她的历史和将来。过去的岁月里，她在颓废和凶悍的外衣遮掩下，任凭自己的美丽和情感悄悄地生，悄悄地长，悄悄地把心中的幽怨抛进风里雨里，悄悄地望着月亮流着孤独的泪，悄悄地把自己的希望和绝望托在掌心压进枪膛，悄悄地一次次走出自己的心灵，把情感的大门关紧，在那种地老天荒的等待中，抵制住所有善意和恶意的纠缠，警惕地守护着一方圣洁的处女地。在这个世界上，只有他有权力走进那片鲜嫩的花圃，她把她惟一和最珍贵的财富留给了他…… 他最终向她俯冲过来，用他宽阔的臂膀，把她紧紧地拥在怀里。 过程漫长而严格，每一个程序都遵循着一个神圣的法则，轻柔而虔诚。胸贴着胸，心挨着心。没有言语，却在倾诉，每一次悸动和颤栗都是绵长的私语。当甜蜜的痛楚缓缓地漫过腹部涌进心房的时候，她知道她被彻底地击中了，她完整地包含了他，他从此走进了她的血液，伴随她走到人生的尽头…… 泪水顺着高秋江的脸颊流了下来，在微微西斜的阳光中闪光。事情过去几个月了，甜蜜的回忆却无时不在湿润着她，这个被爱情的皮鞭抽打得遍体鳞伤的女人，在历尽千般苦楚之后，最大程度的收获了爱情的果实。 一个美丽的女人就是一朵美丽的花，在她生长的全部过程中，只有一次全部开放的经历，那是在一个瞬间完成的。在此之前，她还没有长熟。在此之后，她将枯萎。一个人的美丽，绝对只有一个瞬间。这就够了，一次就够了，她满足并将永远拥有这一次。美好的事情只能有一次，多了就是重复，而重复是没有意义的，重复只是一种机械地劳动而不是创造。她没有遗憾了。从离开庙子岗那一刻起，她就彻底地平静了。她完成了一个女人的升华，她是带着幸福的回忆走向另外一片领域的，她坦然等待的将是一次新的射击，结局将是成功或者死去……可是，他竟然走在了她的前面。是在她建立了重要的功勋的时候，是在杀害他的人举杯邀月欢呼胜利的时候，他沉冤在凹凸山的汪洋大海里。她想上苍之所以选择在这样一个日子把噩耗告诉了她，或许就是他在另外一个世界里向她发出了某种暗示。那么，他是要她为他复仇吗？ 高秋江在无边的黑暗中昏睡了一个下午，就在这个下午，一个陌生的身影出现在她的门口。当高秋江醒来之后，她发现她的房间多了一张纸条，告诉她，她现在的处境非常危险，任务完成之后，她的厄运也将随之而来。纸条的最后两句话是：“走投无路时，去找梁大牙。” 看完纸条，高秋江良久不语。如此看来，梁大牙的人就在她的身边。 当天傍晚时分，小于从庐州回来，告诉她川岛长崎已被顺利解决的消息时，她没有作出任何反应，但是她找出了她的勃朗宁手枪。高秋江平静地告诉小于，她要在近日杀一个人，而且是中国人。
