In the task of the political liaison officer, there are regulations to participate in the training and combat of the troops. Since the captains must participate in the training, and this team is still the cooking squad and baggage platoon with the worst physical fitness, it is difficult for both of them to refuse, so they followed the messenger to the cào field.

As soon as he arrived at the cào field, the scene in front of them surprised the two of them. In addition to the pistols they wore, the captain Li Qinglin, like all the soldiers, also carried a rifle, full of bullet bags, four grenades, and a backpack on his back, which was completely standard equipment.

Looking at the soldiers' clothes and shoes, they were even more surprised. The soldiers' military uniforms were patched with patches, and they were wearing straw sandals. When the two asked the soldiers in the team, the answer they got was: "The army trained every day, and the military uniforms and shoes were consumed very well, so the military uniforms trained were patched, and the shoes were made by themselves."

It was not until the five-kilometer off-road began that the two knew what the troops with the worst physical fitness in the third team looked like.

Li Qinglin marched with his fully armed soldiers. The troops set out less than a kilometer, and the two were left empty and were thrown off a large distance. In order to supervise the two of them to complete the journey, Li Qinglin used the excuse of fearing that they would migrate and asked several soldiers to follow them all the way.

When the two of them worked so hard that they returned to the third team after completing the five-kilometer off-road, Li Qinglin and the soldiers he led had already trained other subjects on the cào field.

When the two of them sat on the ground and gasped, Li Qinglin came over and threw a cigarette for each of them, lit it, and then smiled and said, "Two assistants, you walked down empty-handed today. From now on, you will increase the amount every day until you bring all the equipment."

The two asked angrily: "Captain Li, do officers like us also want to participate in such training?"

Li Qinglin chupped a cigarette and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't participate. When it comes to the war, the troops will definitely run faster than this. If you are not afraid of falling behind and being captured by the Japanese at that time, then don't participate in the daily military training."

The two of them asked the people from the third brigade again. Everyone said that the troops ran much faster than this off-road training when they rescued Miaodian Town last time.

After getting this answer, the two were really discouraged. The two spies were pampered in the rear, and training like this was more uncomfortable than killing them. The two men thought about it behind their backs and finally found an excuse to run back to Miaodian Town overnight. From then on, the two of them usually rode horses to take a look at the general, and the reports they wrote to their superiors were also fabricated. They never dared to mention living with the troops again.

Due to the arrival of the Eighth Detachment, the strength of the region was suddenly strengthened. The Japanese army guarding Jiaozuo could not mobilize so many troops to encircle and suppress. The third brigade obtained a rare safe time in Tonghuāgou.

It is now summer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but the training of the third team has not been interrupted day by day. As the training time increases day by day, the recruits mature day by day and gradually integrate into the entire combat group, so the combat effectiveness of the troops is also significantly improving.

Just when the training of the third team was in full swing, early in the morning on July 27, Li Qinglin received an emergency notice from the detachment, asking him to go to the detachment headquarters to have a meeting immediately.

In fact, the headquarters stationed in Miaodian Town should be called the detachment headquarters, because the detachment leader, brigade leader, and squadron leader are all called captains. If not introduced specifically, captains from various routes are very likely to be confused. Later, for convenience, everyone agreed to call the regiment level and above, that is, the commander above, which reduces a lot of trouble. As for later, militia and bandit troops from various places were also incorporated into guerrilla troops. At that time, it was really "the captains were everywhere, and there were as many commanders as dogs."

Li Qinglin rode on a horse and rushed to Miaodian Town with his guard squad. Li Qinglin's third brigade recently collected a lot of mules and horses, so all the guard squads that were closest to him rode on horses. His guard squad should actually be called the cavalry squad.

Because they were riding horses, Li Qinglin was the first to arrive in the three brigades. Chen Zhendong saw a group of people coming from afar. When he saw it, he saw that it was Li Qinglin and his guard squad. Everyone rode horses, with one short gun on their backs. Look at these young men riding on horses, they were all strong, with a clean military appearance, and were sharply wiped with swords and guns.

Chen Zhendong went forward and smiled and said, "Deputy Commander Li, your third brigade is strong and stronger than my detachment headquarters. Will Deputy Commander Li support us?"

There was a sour smell on these words. Li Qinglin hurriedly answered: "Commander Chen was joking. This was not your order, I rushed to ride a horse. Don't look at them running happily, this is the foundation of our third brigade. I brought our best cavalry here. If you want to support, we still expect the commander to support us subordinates."

Chen Zhendong knew the strength of the third brigade. The two of them joked and joined hands to join the headquarters.

The two sat down, the orderly soldiers served tea. Seeing that the other two captains had not arrived yet, Li Qinglin asked: "The commander urgently summoned us to come. Is there any urgent task?"

Chen Zhendong took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "Last night, the first battle zone called urgently and asked our Ninth Detachment to set off immediately and go to northern Henan."

Li Qinglin said: "Northern Henan?"

Chen Zhendong said: "Yes, our Ninth Detachment in northern Henan will be the vanguard this time to create a situation, and the main force of the column will wait for an opportunity to go together."

Chen Zhendong took a sip of tea and saw that Li Qinglin was still a little suspicious, so he explained: "In the northern Henan area, the Third Guerrilla Column of the First War Zone was previously stationed by the Third Guerrilla Column of the First War Zone. The commander was Li Fuhe, the former commander of the Fifth Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army, with a total of more than 3,000 people. In March this year, Li Fuhe publicly surrendered to the enemy. Because his subordinates were unwilling to be Han, many of them had fled, and there was a blank area in the defense zone in northern Henan. The First War Zone divided this place into our territory and ordered us to quickly rush to the northern Henan area to fight against the enemy."

The order of the War Zone 1 only said that they rushed to the northern Henan area with an urgent task of occupying the mid-blank area behind Li Fuhe's surrender. In fact, they had a more important task, which was to handle a group of uprising troops, which were the teams of Li Fuhe's subordinates Xu Jingyuan and Huang Yuzhou.

Li Fuhe was originally from Fengning, Hebei. When he was young, he became a bandit and robbed his family and did everything he wanted. He was later incorporated by the Northeast Army and finally became the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army.

After the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Northeast Army carried out many reorganizations. During the Battle of Pingjin, the number of the Fifth Cavalry Division was no longer included in the sequence of the combat troops.

In September 1937, he suddenly appeared in Wu'an County, Henan Province. He had about a thousand exiled soldiers and students under his command. The banner he used was the 29th Route Army Rangers. He served as the commander and the headquarters was located in Wu'an Jicheng.

Later, Li Fuhe applied for the number system to the First War Zone, and was awarded the number of the Third Guerrilla Column of the First War Zone by the First War Zone. Li Fuhe was appointed as commander. From then on, Li Fuhe took advantage of the situation to recruit soldiers and horses, forcibly recruited civilian mules and horses, and built two guerrilla corpses and an independent battalion, with a total of more than 3,000 people and horses.

At the end of 1937, Li Fu and his troops were ordered to enter northern Henan to be responsible for the defense of Hengshui, Kequan and other places, and confronted the Japanese army in the water control area.
