Chapter 1748 News (II)

About half an hour later, Wang Qingfeng was escorted out of the battalion by Shang Zhen.

As soon as Wang Qingfeng and Wang Qi's backs disappeared from a bend in front, Shang Zhen ordered: "Call our people to a meeting, and all the platoon leaders and veterans must attend!"

Shang Zhen's battalion headquarters was in Queer Town. He was in the same company as Chu Tian's, but the other two companies were in other villages. It would take time to call Cheng Peng and Liu Keqiang to the meeting.

Qiu Bo was recommended by Shang Zhen to be the company commander of the guard company, so he promoted Chu Tian to company commander.

"Give me a cigarette." Zhang Zhen said to Qin Chuan.

When Qin Chuan heard that Shang Zhen wanted a cigarette, he knew that Shang Zhen was going to think about something again. He knew that Shang Zhen would not smoke easily.

Qin Chuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Shang Zhen.

But Shang Zhen did not smoke, but just played with it. Qin Chuan, who had already taken out a lighter, did not light it, but waited quietly beside him.

What was Shang Zhen thinking at this time?

Wang Qingfeng brought him two pieces of news this time.

One is that seeing that their division's rations have become a problem again, the division commander Liu Chengyi has become anxious.

And the 583rd Regiment, under the instruction of the regiment commander Zhao Tieying, went to the people's land to rob food again, and ended up in conflict with the Eighth Route Army. The result of the conflict was that Zhao Tieying failed to rob food, and their 583rd Regiment and the Eighth Route Army each suffered several casualties.

You should know that there is now a regular army of the Eighth Route Army in Lunan, not the original Lunan guerrillas, or in other words, the Lunan guerrillas have now been upgraded to the regular Eighth Route Army.

Because of this conflict, the Eighth Route Army has protested to Liu Chengyi, and if there is another time, they will definitely meet in battle!

Who is the Eighth Route Army? The predecessor of the Eighth Route Army is the Red Army.

How could the Northeast Army not know that the Communist Party's troops are not easy to mess with? Not to mention that during the Long March of the Red Army, someone mobilized all his forces and ran across most of China but failed to destroy them. Before the Xi'an Incident, the Northeast Army let the Red Army annihilate two divisions!

At that time, the Northeast Army was still strong and powerful, but it was no match for the enemy. Now it is even worse.

In this way, Liu Chengyi will soon assign the task of robbing food to Shang Zhen's direct battalion.

For this reason, Shang Zhen told Wang Qingfeng in the battalion headquarters just now that we robbed so much food, and finally gave away all the food we kept for ourselves. Isn't it enough? Why should we let our battalion take the lead?

Isn't Zhao Tieying capable? If he has the ability, he can rob!

The food that Shang Zhen said he kept refers to the few trucks they transported back from Yequan Temple.

Since those grains were discovered by Zhao Tieying, Shang Zhen naturally couldn't keep them for himself, so he handed them all over to the division headquarters, and then waited for the division headquarters to distribute them uniformly.

So Shang Zhen's complaint was reasonable.

But whether it was Wang Qingfeng or his brother-in-law, the division commander, who didn't understand that asking Shang Zhen to rob the people's food was equivalent to robbing the Eighth Route Army's food, wasn't it forcing him to go with a military order? Who doesn't know that Shang Zhen's wife is from the Eighth Route Army?

For this reason, Wang Qingfeng said that you should stop doing useless things. It's already a good deal for you to rob the people instead of fighting the Eighth Route Army.

Zhao Tieying said that you not only kept the food for yourself, but also kept the money privately. My brother-in-law was already anxious.

Zhao Tieying also said that you must have given the money to your wife.

I was there at the time, so I said that you should stop bluffing about something that has no evidence. That's why my brother-in-law didn't come to you to ask for money.

So you have to rob the food this time, no matter where you rob it?

This matter really gave Shang Zhen a headache. He felt that his days of sitting on the fence were finally coming to an end. Reality no longer allowed him to dodge.

The second news that Wang Qingfeng brought him was that Shang Zhen and his battalion had taken advantage of the Japanese army in the war, which had attracted the attention of the Japanese army. It was said that the Japanese army was already planning how to deal with their battalion!

At that time, Wang Qingfeng only said a few words, but Shang Zhen understood what was going on.

To be honest, since entering Shandong, Shang Zhen and his battalion have destroyed many Japanese troops.

It is still an indisputable fact that the Japanese army has strong combat effectiveness, so even if a small battle kills dozens of Japanese soldiers, it will attract the attention of the Japanese high-level officials, not to mention that sometimes Shang Zhen and his battalion destroy more Japanese troops.

If they fought in other places, Shang Zhen and his battalion would take advantage and run away, and the Japanese army might not be able to figure out which unit they belonged to.

But this time, Shang Zhen and his battalion's range of activities is limited after all. The first bird to come out will be shot, so it is impossible for them not to be "remembered" by the Japanese army!

The reason why Shang Zhen went to Baodugu to discuss with Wang Laomao whether to join the Eighth Route Army is because he knew that from the general situation, the Northeast Army had no future.

The idea of ​​guerrilla warfare in the Japanese-occupied areas is good, but since they can't let go of the old army's arrogance and can't connect with the common people, this kind of guerrilla warfare is destined to be a solitary army. As the power of the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army becomes stronger and stronger, if they can't cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, they will have to fight the Japanese army to the death, and their people will only become fewer and fewer.

Shang Zhen knows that it's not the most difficult time yet. If it comes to the most difficult time, it's not impossible for puppet troops to appear in the Northeast Army.

This is like playing chess, never just looking at three or five steps, Shang Zhen always looks further. Since he doesn't want to be a traitor and doesn't want to lose his people, what other choice does he have besides joining the Eighth Route Army?

However, joining the Eighth Route Army is a big deal.

If Shang Zhen brought all his old soldiers, including those he recruited later, that would be a company's strength, and they would definitely listen to him.

But now there are still Cheng Peng and Liu Keqiang's company. He is not sure what these two company commanders are thinking about betraying the Northeast Army, so he will discuss it with Wang Laomao.

Even if he asked someone to call the two company commanders to come to the meeting now, he would not tell them his plan for the time being, and he always had to feel out their attitudes.

More than half an hour later, dozens of people were sitting on the ground in the yard of Shang Zhen's battalion.

When Shang Zhen finished saying that they had to rob food this time, there was silence at first, and then everyone talked about it.

It's just that the opinions of everyone, including Cheng Peng and Liu Keqiang, did not surprise Shang Zhen after all, that is, they couldn't rob the common people, but it was too difficult to rob the Japanese and puppet troops, and it was even more impossible to fight the Eighth Route Army!

Everyone knows that Shang Zhen's wife is in the Eighth Route Army and she is a leader.

So the result of this discussion is that the problem was not solved, but it successfully turned from Shang Zhen's headache to everyone's headache!

But just when Shang Zhen and dozens of others argued for an hour without any results, Qian Chuan'er, who was out to collect intelligence, suddenly came back, and actually brought back useful intelligence!
