Daqingshan base area.

After the 93rd Regiment took over Dorqi's defense, Yao took his brothers back to the Daqingshan base area with a single blow.

The main forces such as the 5th Regiment, 6th Regiment, Artillery Regiment, and Reconnaissance Battalion of the 2nd Division of the 39th Army are all hidden in Daqingshan.

The Ma Jiajun's 20,000 cavalry also withdrew from the Wuchuan area and hid in the Daqing Mountains in fear.

Suddenly there were 20,000 to 30,000 people in the base area. Yao Yidao's first concern was the tens of thousands of kilograms of grain he had stored for the winter.

The 2nd Division took into consideration the material shortage in the base area when entering Daqingshan, and the brothers brought sufficient food with them when they left Guyang.

The Kuomintang troops brought their own food and did not harm the people of Daqingshan. Yao's heart was finally relieved.

"It was an emergency. I didn't say hello to Commander Yao in advance. It was really too abrupt. I hope Commander Yao can forgive me!"

Using someone else's territory to hide his troops, Zhou Cexun naturally brought a meeting gift.

The little devil's 38 rifle, crooked handle, Type 92 heavy machine gun, grenade launchers, etc. are almost the equipment of two infantry brigades.

Seeing these baby bumps, Yao Yidao finally had a smile on his face.

He enthusiastically invited Zhou Cexun, Wei Guodong and others to his headquarters. Ma Hongkui, the leader of the Ma Jiajun, was not included in the invitation.

Since entering Daqingshan, Ma Jiajun has been staying with the Second Army, especially Ma Hongkui, who lived directly in Zhou Chaixun's division headquarters.

Everyone knows the grievances between Ma Jiajun and the Red Party. Entering Daqingshan this time is really a helpless move.

Ma Hongkui did not dare to follow Zhou Cexun and others to Yao Yidao's headquarters. He was afraid of being killed quietly by the opponent.

The Red Party has always remembered the bloody feud, and Ma Hongkui naturally has not forgotten it either.

The Daqingshan guerrilla detachment only had 1,000 cavalry, while Ma Hongkui commanded an army of 20,000 people. However, he still felt insecure and just hoped to leave this place full of sad eyes earlier.

"Mr. Zhou, the battles you fought in Wuyuan and Guyang were hearty and hearty, and you made all Chinese people feel bad!"

In the headquarters, Yao Yidao smiled and said to Zhou Cexun.

"The previous battles are nothing, the bigger battle is still to come." Zhou Cexun's face did not look proud and complacent.

"The armies of China and Japan are gathering under the Yin Mountains. A battle that has the opportunity to change history is about to begin. I wonder if Commander Yao is interested in participating!"

The Hunter Brigade conducts reconnaissance throughout the Tumochuan Plain, and a large amount of intelligence is collected to the headquarters every day. Their ability is beyond doubt.

But when it comes to the familiarity with Tumochuan Plain, Daqing Mountain, and Yin Mountain, I am afraid no one in Suiyuan can match Yao Yidao, who has been guerrillas here for many years.

"Haha..." Yao Yida laughed boldly,

"Master Zhou and your Commander Jiang have strong soldiers and horses, and they have repeatedly defeated the Japanese army. Their reputation is unknown to everyone. They can cooperate with your army to fight against the enemy. I, Yao, can only dream of it!"

only……"

"Commander Yao has something to say, but there's no harm in saying it!"

Seeing Yao's hesitation with his sword, Zhou Cexun raised his hand and said.

"Mr. Zhou is a happy person. I don't have to act like a little girl anymore." Yao sat down on the stool and pointed outside and said:

"Our army has a bloody feud with Ma Hongkui. Now that the country is facing a national crisis, we have put these grudges aside.

Can……"

When he said this, Yao Yidao's face showed sadness,

"This is a group of executioners. They are cruel and inhumane. Many of my comrades-in-arms have died at their hands. I will not take revenge now, but I really can't be comrades-in-arms with them!"

People in our party will not trust any Ma Jiajun, please understand my difficulties, Commander Zhou."

Zhou Cexun understood what Yao Yidao meant. The Red Party people were not willing to fight side by side with the Ma Jiajun, nor did they want to let these enemies stay in their base area anymore.

To be honest, Zhou Cexun also looked down upon some of the Ma Jiajun's actions. But now that the country was facing a national crisis, Jiang Dong often said that all forces that could be united should be united to fight the Japanese invaders.

After thinking for a while, he said to Yao Yida:

"I understand Commander Yao's difficulties. Please give me some more time. I will ask the commander of our army for instructions before I get back to you."

Zhou Cexun knew that it was impossible to drive the Ma Jiajun out of Daqingshan. It was freezing and snowy outside, and the horses and men would not be able to bear it. It was unwise to greatly reduce the strength of one of the main cavalry before officially engaging the enemy.

…

Zhou Cexun’s request for instructions quickly received a reply:

Both the 2nd Division and the Ma Jiajun must stay in Daqingshan and wait for the next combat order.

Yao Yidao also received a telegram from northern Shaanxi at about the same time. In the form of an order, his superiors asked him to temporarily put aside his hatred and unite his forces to fight against Japan.

Therefore, tens of thousands of people and horses were all hidden in Daqing Mountain until the heavy snow fell.

…

…

On the evening of December 18, fine snowflakes began to float in the sky. After nightfall, it gradually turned into heavy snow, covering the entire northern part of the Great Wall.

A reconnaissance team from the 93rd Regiment went out to the southeast of Dorqi for reconnaissance on the order of An Chunshan.

The reconnaissance team has a total of 120 people, led by a captain and company commander.

A sudden blizzard fell in the sky, turning the sky and the earth into white. The reconnaissance team lost their way in the blizzard night.

They originally planned to withdraw to Dorqi to report the situation, but they chose a wrong direction in the wind and snow and crashed into Chasuqi.

"Huhuhu..."

The north wind carried the falling snow and slapped it on the faces of the brothers. We all walked forward one step at a time, almost numb both physically and mentally.

The captain and company commander walked in the middle of the team. From time to time he looked up into the wind and snow, trying to find some obvious signs so that he could find the location on the map.

But the wind and snow blocked his sight.

This area is where the scouts from both sides are most active. The company commander knew that it was extremely dangerous to walk without knowing the direction, and he might run into the enemy's encirclement.

But there is wilderness all around, and the snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger. If you don't move forward, staying where you are is the only way to die.

More than a hundred people looked extremely small in the wind and snow, like a small boat in the sea, with the possibility of being swallowed at any time.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the scouts at the front came over happily to report.

There is a village with lights on in the wind and snow.

The company commander was very happy. If there is a village, there are people there. Someone can ask for the place name. With the place name, the location and direction can be determined.

He immediately ordered his brothers to speed up and spend the night in the village tonight.

"Bang! Bang!"

Just as the company commander saw the light, two crisp gunshots were suddenly heard in the wind and snow.

"Formal?"

The brothers subconsciously lay down on the snow, surrounded by the sound of gun bolts being pulled.

"Bang bang bang..."

"There is a national army..."

The gunfire at the entrance of the village became more and more intense, and sometimes people could still hear shouts, but the wind and snow were too heavy to hear what they were shouting.

The reconnaissance team was all experienced veterans, and everyone recognized it. Except for the first two sounds, which were made by the Chinese government, the rest were all Japanese three-eight sounds.

"Fire! Cover!"

A figure stumbled towards the direction of the large army. The company commander gave an order, and gunfire suddenly broke out.

"Company Commander, there are Japs and puppet troops in the village. Their number is unknown. Old Liao is in trouble!"

The scouts who rushed back quickly reported the situation.

The distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters, but due to the wind and snow, they could not see each other at all. They could only fire in the general direction, and the bullets whizzed through the blizzard.

The company commander's fingers kept crossing over the combat map.

Village, devil...

He used the limited information to quickly determine the approximate current location.

"Crack!"

The company commander slapped himself heavily on the forehead, his face full of guilt and regret.

He actually led the brothers in the wrong direction!

…

In fact, there are no Japanese in the village, only the hypocrite An Guojun, numbering 500.

And Yoshiko Kawashima, the commander of the Anguo Army, was also among them.

The people in the city had been wiped out by the Anguo army. In order to collect more money and relieve the boredom of winter, Yoshiko Kawashima personally led 500 puppet troops to the villages outside Chasuqi.

This area is not far from Chasuqi and is safe.

The whole village was full of soldiers of the Anguo Army, and there was not a single common person there, because the common people in the village had been slaughtered by these bandits, and their bodies were dumped in the snow to the east.

The sudden gunfire startled Kawashima Yoshiko, who was counting the harvest.
