Chu Zhenhu and the others looked to the southeast, there were many people, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, it turned out that the devil left an empty camp for us...... The three platoon commanders Li Maotian, Yang Mingji, and Lin Ruyuan all clenched their weapons, and just looked at the eyes of Chu Zhenhu and Ha Ritu, and they either withdrew or fought, and they fought here. Chu Zhenhu crouched behind the old cover of the devil, and observed carefully, although he had no culture, he always looked at things at night and practiced his eyes when he robbed the house. After looking at it carefully for a while, I have judged that it is not a devil.

Those people also stop and go, and they don't know the way at a glance. The rout army is the most afraid to take the avenue, and picks up the mountain and the road. But at this time, Lao Yuan found the abandoned camp, and they all stopped there and did not dare to go forward. After many encounters, they all knew what the Japanese camp looked like. I want to test it to see if there are any devils, and I'm a little timid. Don't be tempted, obviously you can't get by. Chu Zhenhu looked at it a little unbearable, they were all Chinese, fleeing all the way, they must be hungry.

found a squad leader from the cadet corps and said, "Yu Jichou, go over and take a look, see which part they are?" Yu Jichou rose in response, took the fortifications and looked at them gathered on the other side of the woods, and when he had a plan in mind, he jumped out of the fortifications and swaggered away. After a while, Yu Jichou brought someone over. Chu Zhenhu and Ha Ritu felt very cordial when they saw him wearing the clothes of the Northeast Army. Chu Zhenhu came out of the hidden place, a little grinning. Yu Jichou stepped forward and raised his right hand to point at Chu Zhenhu and said: "This is our Captain Chu......" He raised his left hand and pointed to the person in the Northeast Army uniform and said: "This is the commander of the horse battalion, they are from the Northeast Army, they were scattered by the devils, and they withdrew here from Xinminyi......"

He smiled reluctantly and said: "In Xiama Mingchuan, the ...... of the Northeast Army" Chu Zhenhu looked at him with a knife and a stubble face, and he had not washed his face for a few days. The dirty blue clothes and big cap prove that he is indeed a member of the Northeast Army. He said calmly: "There are really a lot of routs, I just accepted it, and I came over again." Look at your face and catch up on the road that you can't get close! Ma Mingchuan muttered a little to himself: "From Ningcheng to Pingquan, and here again...... Alas, it's all mountain roads, and our weapon is really not a little devil. Or in Xinmin, we were crippled......"

Chu Zhenhu listened to him and thought about his experience, as if he was his own brother, and as soon as he came back, he said, "What about your establishment, which part does it belong to?" Ma Mingchuan said eloquently: "We are from the old 30th Brigade of the Northeast Army, and I am the commander of the second battalion. I heard that many of the Northeast Army and some of the Volunteers have withdrawn to Chahar, and even Commander Ma Zhanshan has gone. We also want to go there, but we go northwest of Chifeng, and we are afraid of encountering devils again. No, we're going to get here......"

Speaking of this, he clasped his hands into fists and asked, "Dare to ask which part of you you are?" I don't know when Ha Ritu also came out and said: "We are from the Rehe Special Operations Brigade, which belongs to the 41st Army of the Kuomintang. You can also walk northwest of Chifeng, but you have to walk around the devil. He seemed to be afraid that Chu Zhenhu would report a bandit number. Ma Mingchuan was quite bitten when he heard the number he reported, and after a long time, he said again: "In Ningcheng, someone surrendered to the devil, and the waist is quite hard, and he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone...... No, we're going to get here......"

Haritu didn't introduce himself, showing sympathy on his face. He also said: "Those who really fight devils are not afraid of death, and those who recognize thieves as fathers live on their knees." Ma Mingchuan said: "Listening to the tone of your words, there is no intention of withdrawing?" I really admire it. We really didn't want to evacuate, and we wanted to go back to our hometowns, but most of the officers and men were wounded, and we couldn't organize a long, too fierce battle. You will let us go through the less than 300 brothers who have been brought out from our second battalion and the other battalions? ”

Chu Zhenhu didn't answer his words, and asked instead: "Battalion Commander Ma, where are you going from here?" Battalion Commander Ma was worried and said: "We just want to go to Chahar, and when we get there, we can find our old troops, as well as other regular anti-Japanese troops, and first heal the wounds of the officers and soldiers." When the time comes, we will have to go back to our hometown......" The angular Northeast man burst into tears as he spoke. Stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and then said: "We will definitely fight back, the fathers and elders in our hometown are still waiting for us to come back to avenge them, didn't Yue Fei say, stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers......"

Chu Zhenhu and Ha Ritu were both moved by him, but they still tested him, and said: "Brother Ma, just you, the hundreds of people who have been injured, from here, do you know what is ahead?" ”

Ma Mingchuan was like a frightened bird, hurriedly reached out and touched the gun on his waist, and said: "To be honest, I don't want to go through the villages and towns, we are a rout, and we are hungry, and we can't keep someone asking the villagers for food, and it is inevitable to shoot when we quarrel." I'm ashamed that this happened; the guy in his hand, being chased by the little devil, but fighting with the people, which is what a soldier did? But the brothers all escaped from death with me, and it is better to keep them and the little devil desperately to ...... to carry out the law of the battlefield" He was worried again, and said with a long roar: "Alas, young marshal, you are enchanted, give up the great rivers and mountains in the Northeast, and let the little devil go on a rampage here?" ”

When Chu Zhenhu and Ha Ritu and others heard it, it turned out that his suffering was not only a little devil. They all sympathized with him more, meaning that they wanted him to lead his subordinates to stay. Ma Mingchuan also saw it, and asked puzzledly: "Dare to ask you here to fight devils?" Just these dozens of people ......" Ha Ritu said: "Brother, the little devil is very powerful and ruthless enough, but who said that dozens of people can't fight devils?" As long as there is a heart to resist Japan, even one person has the responsibility to defend the land. ”

Ma Mingchuan was a little moved by what he said, raised his eyes to look at this, looked at that, and was very impressed. Chu Zhenhu also said: "Why can't dozens of people resist the Japanese, look at the ...... over there" He pointed to the northwest and said: "Look at those weapons, do you know where they came from?" Ma Mingchuan saw that he knew it, and said with a smile: "You picked up the arsenal of the little devils?" Ha Ritu's temperament was reckless and anxious, and he said indignantly: "Brother, this is called robbery, and it is to cut off their transportation lines......

Ma Mingchuan was a little puzzled and asked, "You dare to rob the little devil?" So how did you get out? Or Ha Ritu preemptively said: "This robbery can't be fought indiscriminately, if you want to find him to fight in front of the village and not in the back of the store, suddenly make a move, and beat him to ......death" Ma Mingchuan saw that except for Yu Jichou, several people stood in front of him at some point, and he was even more curious about this small unit. One person said: "This afternoon, we cut off this transportation line of the devils, this is not a simple robbery, we are cooperating with a battle of the 117th Brigade......"

Ma Mingchuan's depressed mood improved a lot, and seeing that these people had no malicious intent, he said with a smile: "Oh, I remember something, a relative of my family is in a resistance union near Xinmin. He said that the Red Army has a set of advanced fighting methods, specializing in fighting weak enemies. It's better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his five fingers......" Ha Ritu looked at Chu Zhenhu and was quietly happy, and he had a little connection with Ma Mingchuan in his heart. He asked directly and slightly recklessly, "Brother Ma, those brothers of yours, how are you restraining them?" ”

Ma Mingchuan said: "These more than 200 brothers were brought down by me from the line of fire, and along the way, we were fighting and racing with the little devils, and we were also playing hide and seek with them. Damn it, in our own land, we're afraid of them? When the brothers thought of this, they all jumped in their hearts and were not convinced. When Ha Ritu heard this, he said: "Since your brothers are not convinced by the little devils, and they all have the heart to defend the land, then let your brothers stand there, and we will send Zhen Yupeng, the director of the Political Department, to say a few words, and if everyone sounds reasonable, please take your brothers to stay; If it weren't for that, we would have brought you over without delaying your trip to Chahar, how about it? ”

Although Ma Mingchuan had some concerns, he was also a little moved, and at first glance, he found that there was something calming on Captain Chu's face. Moreover, there was no hostility in the eyes of all the people, although it was dark and he could not see clearly, but he could feel it. So he said, "Well, then I will invite your people to come and talk about it." To reassure you, let my deputy Wang Ying come to your side. ”

Chu Zhenhu was born as a bandit, he understood this truth, but he also said: "No, no need...... "He knows the role of Zhen Yupeng.

Zhen Yupeng brought two soldiers to follow Ma Mingchuan, and Deputy Wang Ying also brought two soldiers over. Some of the soldiers here are from the Northeast Army, so they pulled Wang Ying's deputy to reminisce about the past, in order to enlighten him to stay and fight devils. Zhen Yupeng and the two warriors stood still, and Ma Mingchuan gathered the brothers to stand in a line. The brethren came in small numbers, stood in a circle, and surrounded them. Some were holding guns, some were poking them into the ground.

Zhen Yupeng graduated from the Chongzheng School in the Karaqin Banner Prince's Mansion, and then followed in the footsteps of revolutionary pioneers such as Chen Jinghu, Han Linfu, Jia Congliang and Wang Yilun to study in Tianjin. Later, I met Wang Yilun, who was sent back to Chifeng for the first few times, and was influenced by him to take teaching as a profession and engage in underground work. Speaking and launching a revolutionary movement is his strong point, and it is also a skill that he has cultivated over many years. He looked around and said calmly and majestically: "Brothers of the Northeast Army, it has been really hard for you to fight from Liaoning to Rehe. To tell the truth, there is a huge disparity between the overall quality of our armed forces and that of the Japanese army, but this is not the main reason why we cannot defeat the devils. The main reason lies in Nanjing, where they are carrying out passive anti-Japanese resistance, or non-anti-Japanese resistance. If the Nanjing government actively dispatches troops to the northeast to support the Northeast Army, all units of the Northeast Army will be better able to cooperate and share the same hatred for the enemy...... Beidaying will never be lost, and the northeast will never lose 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains...... Now, if the Nanjing government deals with Tang Yulin, it will also exchange the fighting spirit of the Chinese people......"

Ma Mingchuan's brothers, by him, gritted their teeth and gurgled their teeth, and their hands were tightly clutching their guns.
