As soon as Zhang Zizhong was sent away, Wang Zhijun, the military liaison officer of the Red Party regime, came to visit. Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows and said: "Representative Wang, if you need anything, just ask. As long as I can help, I will definitely do it!" Wang Zhijun bowed his hand and thanked him.

: "Thank you very much, Commander Jiang! It's like this. During this period, the Japanese army has stepped up its blockade and raids on our Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area!

The anti-Japanese base areas suffered a large number of casualties, and there were serious difficulties in material supplies. The soldiers lacked food and clothing, and there were almost no emergency medicines. This has seriously affected the survival of the base areas behind enemy lines! Especially the Fifth Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Changshan County

The situation was even more serious. The Japs not only built a large number of bunker strongholds to blockade them, but also mobilized an entire regiment of troops to carry out raids and suppression!

So I came here just to buy a batch of medicines and ammunition supplies from your army. I brought a total of 5,000 yuan, and I asked Commander Jiang to make an exception and resell it..." Jiang Qiang has always strictly prohibited private transactions in arms.

, and starting from last month, emergency medicines, some commodities and military supplies in the defense zone have also been gradually included in the scope of control! "Changshan County Fifth Army? Liao Rongbiao, Ma Yaonan? Doesn't that mean there are really one horse and three commanders?"

After listening to Wang Zhijun's words, Jiang Qiang suddenly thought of an anti-war drama "One Horse and Three Commanders" that he had watched. It seemed to be in Changshan County, not far from his own defense area! The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Wang Zhijun took a look.

Jiang Qiang said: "Commander Jiang has also heard the ballad of One Horse and Three Commanders? Haha, yes, it is true!" "That's right, this Horse and Three Commanders are talking about the three brothers Ma Yaonan, Ma Xiaoyun, and Ma Tianmin!"

Seeing that Jiang Qiang was very interested in this, Wang Zhijun introduced the origin of "one horse and three commanders" in detail.

At this time, Jiang Qiang gradually figured out the situation. It turned out that the Commander-in-Chief of the First Ma and the Third Army was not a historical figure made up by the Anti-Japanese War drama, but a real person! Ma Yaonan was a patriot who participated in the Northern Expedition during the Great Revolution. Because he was dissatisfied with the Chairman

For his actions, the Nanjing government expelled him from the party for being pro-Red Party and ordered him to be wanted. Later, Ma Yaonan was jointly invited by the squires of Changshan County to return to the county to become the principal of Changshan Middle School.

In order to make more contributions to the anti-Japanese war, Ma Yaonan actively organized anti-Japanese propaganda in the school and contacted our party, hoping to arrange personnel to come to Changshan Middle School to organize the struggle. It was under this circumstance that Yao Zhongming, Liao Rongbiao, and Zhao Mingxin entered as teachers

Changshan Middle School.

At Changshan Middle School, Liao Rongbiao, as one of the few cadres who knew the military, held guerrilla training classes under the cover of night school to teach patriotic teachers, students and young people basic military skills and knowledge.

On December 24, 1937, Changshan, Zibo and other places fell one after another. Liao Rongbiao led more than 60 teachers and students who volunteered to participate in the anti-Japanese guerrilla struggle and went to Heitieshan to prepare for the uprising. On December 26, many patriotic young people heard the news.

To defect to the country, Liao Rongbiao declared an uprising at Taipingzhuang on the northern slope of Black Iron Mountain and established the Fifth Army of the Shandong Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, with Liao Rongbiao as commander. At that time, the Fifth Army had only more than 100 people, 3 rifles, and 8 broadswords.

After the Fifth Army was established, it ambushed everywhere and raided the Japanese and puppet troops and their county towns and strongholds. It achieved victory again and again, which suppressed the arrogance of the Japanese army and strengthened its own strength. By the beginning of 1938, the Fifth Army had developed into an army of more than 4,500 soldiers.

During this period, the Fifth Army even killed a Japanese brigade commander in an ambush, which shocked the Fifth Army's reputation. After unified organization, the Fifth Army is currently organized into seven detachments.

It has jurisdiction over 30 squadrons. Among them, the commander of the first detachment, Ma Tianmin, is Ma Yaonan’s third brother, and the commander of the seventh detachment, Ma Xiaoyun, is Ma Yaonan’s second brother.

Therefore, the people in the northern Shandong area call them "One Horse and Three Commanders", and there is a widely circulated ballad praising the three brothers of the Ma family: "One Horse and Three Commanders are suffering from anti-Japanese disease. We work together to fight Japan and protect the people." "Haha."

, Very good! Very interesting!" Jiang Qiang nodded extremely happily, then turned to Liu Qiang who was not far away and said: "You are responsible for allocating materials. In addition to the materials with a market price of 5,000 oceans, an additional 2,000 oceans of supplies will be given away!

"

His own money did not come from the strong wind. Jiang Qiang is not a good person and will not give it away unless under special circumstances! Especially now that the business is getting bigger and bigger. Not only do he have more than 100,000 troops to support, but there are also

More than 14 million people need to be taken care of, and money is needed everywhere! After a pause, Jiang Qiang continued: "Changshan County, Zichuan County, and Linzi County are already enemy-occupied areas. It must be very troublesome for you to transport these military supplies.

!

Good things come to the end, send the Buddha to the west! Let's do this, let them clear a place on Heiti Mountain and mark it, and we will deliver it directly to your door by helicopter at three o'clock this afternoon!" Changshan County is 400 meters away from Zhaoyuan

Kilometers, helicopters can fly there in less than an hour, the Japs have no air defense radar, and fighter jets cannot cruise at any time, so there is no safety issue at all!

"Thank you, Commander Jiang. Thank you so much! You solved our big problem in one go. We will never forget your great kindness!" Hearing this, Wang Zhijun suddenly showed ecstasy and nodded repeatedly. Not only could he get an extra 2,000 yuan.

Supplies can also be delivered directly to your door, eliminating the biggest trouble. Where can I find such a good thing? "Haha, you're welcome!"

Jiang Qiang smiled and waved his hand, and then said to Liu Qiang: "Representative Wang will personally decide what supplies are needed. In addition, let me know when you are ready. I also want to go there!" The legendary "one horse, three horses"

"Commander" is right in front of him, how can Jiang Qiang contain his jumping curiosity?

"Okay! Sir, please rest assured and promise to complete the task! Representative Wang, please!" Liu Qiang nodded happily. Now that the tide has risen, he has transformed into the commander of the security brigade, with the rank of major general! Changshan County, Heitieshan

Taipingzhuang! "Report to Commander Ma, the grain you asked us to purchase was intercepted by the little devil! Commander Ma, I'm sorry, we failed!"

A middle-aged man in ragged clothes stood dejectedly in the yard, his expression looking extremely depressed and defeated! Ma Yaonan frowned and sighed: "Lao Li and the others were confiscated by the Japanese Japanese when they were transporting grain yesterday.

These little devils have blocked the road into the mountain and do not allow any supplies to be transported inside!" Political Commissar Yao Zhongming also frowned and said: "Yes, the number of little devils in Changshan County has increased greatly recently, and a large number of gun towers have been built.

It is becoming more and more difficult for us to supply supplies. Now we are almost out of basic food and salt!

If this continues, it will be difficult for us to continue to gain a foothold in Black Iron Mountain!" Ma Yaonan gritted his teeth and said: "There is no way out, but if it doesn't work, we will drag the team to Changbai Mountain!" "Haha, good news, it's great.

News! We are saved!" At this moment, Zhao Mingxin, director of the Political Department, ran out of the room with a happy face. "Hey, Director Zhao, what on earth makes you so happy?" "Yes! The higher-level organization has

Any new instructions?" Ma Yaonan and Yao Zhongming quickly turned their heads and looked, their eyes full of hope.

Zhao Mingxin waved the telegram on his hand with great excitement and said with a smile on his face: "This is a telegram sent to us by the higher-level organization. You will know after you read it! Haha!" "What? The organization purchased a batch of military supplies.

And the Jiaodong Group Army will be airdropped to us this afternoon!" "Haha, that's great! I didn't expect that the organization could actually connect with the Jiaodong Group Army, and now we don't have to worry about anything!"

After reading the message, Ma Yaonan, Yao Zhongming and others suddenly felt very good. They have always had inexplicable admiration and admiration for the Jiaodong Group Army, which is 400 kilometers apart! However, due to various reasons, formal contact has not been established. If they can this time

By taking this line, they can naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and no longer have to worry about the Japanese siege! In less than two hours, three helicopters of military supplies were loaded!

Wang Zhijun knows how to live a good life. He did not choose too many expensive advanced weapons this time. Except for necessary medicines and military uniforms, they are basically "obsolete weapons" in stock! These "obsolete weapons" are not old-fashioned and unusable defective products.

They are guns and ammunition that were reloaded from the 243rd Brigade and the 22nd Division and put into storage! For the Jiaodong Army, these weapons are indeed too backward. They are not even used in regular army training. At most, they are given to militiamen for practice!

But it's different for the guerrillas behind enemy lines. They can be described as "well-equipped"! "Let's go!" When everything was ready, Jiang Qiang came uninvited and got on a plane.

The helicopter followed the transport team and flew directly to Taipingzhuang, Heitieshan, Changshan County!

Wang Zhijun originally just took the lead in purchasing a batch of urgently needed supplies for the Fifth Army, and then found a way to transport them to Black Iron Mountain. However, he did not expect that Jiang Qiang would use the legendary helicopter that can fly around without a runway, nor did he expect that Jiang Qiang would go there in person.

Escort. Therefore, Wang Zhijun took the initiative to go to Changshan County with Jiang Qiang without thinking. Firstly, Wang Zhijun really wanted to go to the Fifth Army station to express condolences. Secondly, Wang Zhijun was vaguely worried about Jiang Qiang.

Go poach!

"Wow, Commander Jiang, this plane of yours is so advanced! Wow, it can really take off directly from the ground? Wow, isn't this too fast?..." "Wow, today I have opened my eyes and learned a lot.

"Commander Jiang is truly a god!" It was the first time in his life that Wang Zhijun flew on a plane. After getting on the helicopter, everything he saw was very strange and curious. Especially after taking off, he saw the speed of the helicopter flying and the constant speed below.

The retrograde scenery made me even more excited! "Haha! It's not bad!"

Jiang Qiang had neither the interest nor the patience to popularize common sense, so he kept chatting with him. "We're finally here! Get ready to land!" After nearly an hour of flight, Jiang Qiang and others finally arrived at Heiti Mountain in Changshan County.

At this time, several very eye-catching long white cloths were pulled up in an open space on the top of the mountain. "Wow, look, what kind of plane is that? Why is it so strange?" "Could this be the Jiaodong Army Air Transport Team mentioned in the message?

?" "Haha, you can't go wrong! Everyone is ready to line up to welcome us!"

Ma Yaonan, Liao Rongbiao, Yao Zhongming, Zhao Mingxin, Ma Xiaoyun, Ma Tianmin, Shao Jiaen, Liu Shuyuan and others who had been waiting on the mountain for a long time also discovered the situation immediately! After a brief period of doubt, everyone instantly became extremely excited and full of strength!

Not long after, four helicopters docked in the open area on the top of the mountain. Jiang Qiang, Wang Zhijun and others got off the helicopter one after another.

"Comrades of the Fifth Army are working hard. I am Wang Zhijun of the Military Liaison Office of the Eighth Route Army in Zhaoyuan. May I ask who is Commander Liao Rongbiao and who is Commander Ma Yaonan?" This is Wang Zhijun's first time to the headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Naturally,

He didn't know Liao Rongbiao, Ma Yaonan and others. "Director Wang, hello! I am Liao Rongbiao, and this is Commander Ma Yaonan!" Liao Rongbiao also met Wang Zhijun for the first time. He quickly walked up to introduce himself and shook hands with enthusiasm to say hello.

"Commander Liao, Commander Ma, thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Zhijun nodded quickly in response, then waved his hand and introduced solemnly: "Come on, let me introduce you first. This is Commander Jiang Qiangjiang, the commander-in-chief of the Jiaodong Group Army who is so famous that the Japanese are afraid of him!" "Ah, what? You are Jiang Qiangjiang!"

Commander?" Liao Rongbiao and Ma Yaonan both had their pupils constricted, and their heads were buzzing! They had seen Jiang Qiangqi and his majestic and extraordinary demeanor before, and they felt that he was not an ordinary person, but they never imagined that he was actually

Jiang Qiang, the famous commander of the Jiaodong Army in China!

"Haha, Commander Liao, Commander Ma, hello! Your Fifth Army is also famous, and the two commanders are so famous. It's a great honor to meet them today!" Jiang Qiang smiled and walked up to greet the two of them enthusiastically.

Shake hands and say hello! "Haha, Commander Jiang is overrated! You are truly famous, how can we dare to compare with you!" "Yes! Commander Jiang, I didn't expect that you would personally risk your life to come to our Fifth Army. All of our soldiers are really grateful."

I’m so flattered!”

Jiang Qiang's aura and aura were so powerful that he dominated the scene as soon as he made his debut. Not only did Liao Rongbiao and Ma Yaonan subconsciously start to humble themselves, but the surrounding officers and soldiers all focused their eyes on Jiang Qiang! "Where! Where! You guys?"

To be able to open up a base to fight guerrilla warfare right under the nose of the little Japs, such courage and courage are commendable!" Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Jiang Qiang praised him without hesitation! "Commander Jiang is so complimentary!"

Ma Yaonan gave up a smile, then waved his hand and said: "Director Wang, Commander Jiang, please allow me to introduce you. This is Comrade Yao Zhongming, political commissar of the Fifth Army, this is Zhao Mingxin, director of the Political Department, and this is the first

Detachment Commander Ma Tianmin, this is Ma Xiaoyun, Commander of the Seventh Detachment..." "Wow, I'm really lucky today! I was lucky enough to see Commander Jiang of the Jiaodong Group Army!" "Oh my God, Commander Jiang is so young and handsome.

?”

The big guys in front were shaking hands and introducing each other, while the grassroots officers and soldiers standing around were whispering with smiles on their faces. Many of the female student soldiers were even a little nymphomaniacs! After a while of pleasantries, Wang Zhijun took out his

A list was announced proudly: "Commander Liao, Commander Ma, and Secretary Li, after learning that you encountered serious difficulties in the crazy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese, they specifically ordered us to do everything we can to deliver urgently needed supplies to you!

This time, with the great help of Commander Jiang, I finally fulfilled my mission and purchased a large amount of military supplies from the Jiaodong Army! This time, there were a total of 1,000 kilograms of salt, 3,000 kilograms of rice, 3,000 kilograms of flour, 50 light machine guns, and 10 heavy machine guns.

There are 800 rifles, 8 mortars, 5 anti-tank rocket launchers, 1,000 grenades, 200 artillery shells, 100,000 bullets, 5 radio stations, 20 telescopes, 3,000 sets of military uniforms, and a large amount of medicine!

Now these supplies are on four helicopters. Commander Liao and Commander Ma, please organize manpower to carry them immediately!" I have to say that 5,000 oceans for so many supplies is a hugely profitable deal. If we go by the current market

The price is less than 100,000 yuan, so don’t even think about buying it! But Jiang Qiang did not lose money. The military uniforms and guns he replaced are of little use anyway. Salt, rice, and flour are extremely cheap in the Jiaodong area!

The only valuable items are heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and mortars!

"Wow, my God, there are so many good things!" "Now we don't have to suffer from hunger!" "Yes, this is really a timely help!" "It is indeed the Jiaodong Group Army!" "Yes, there is the Jiaodong Group Army.

With this strong support, we will no longer be alone!" "Hey! Now look at what the Japanese devils are going to do to seal the mountain. They will make those turtles angry to death!"

Listening to the string of gorgeous numbers, Liao Rongbiao, Ma Yaonan and others all screamed with excitement. This is simply awesome! These days, they have tried their best to bring even a pound of rice into the mountains, but they have lost money.

They made a lot of money, but in vain they benefited the little Japanese and puppet troops guarding the checkpoint! This is also the most realistic and serious problem faced by many base areas behind enemy lines!

"Commander Ma, Commander Liao, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. We'll see each other again soon! If you have any difficulties here, you can ask Director Wang to tell me! As long as I can help, I'll do whatever it takes!" In Black Iron

After wandering around in Shandong for more than an hour, Jiang Qiang saw that it was getting late, and then said goodbye to Ma Yaonan and others. In fact, Jiang Qiang really wanted to recruit the three brothers of the Ma family, or move the entire fifth army to his own defense area.

nearby!

With his current strength, he can easily take over a county town for them to use as a base, so that he can protect the three brothers of the Ma family, so that they will not die heroically in the end, leaving people with nothing to regret! But after many verbal tests, I found that

Ma Yaonan is determined to follow the party in launching the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines, while Wang Zhiqiang and others are worried about poaching themselves, which makes Jiang Qiang still embarrassed!
To be continued...
