"Yaqian, have you really decided? I heard that Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai University have jointly established the National Changsha University in Changsha, and we can resume our studies as soon as possible. ”

Looking at the low house at the end of the street, Li Menglan looked at her friend who was a little impulsive, and couldn't help but persuade her, she really hoped that the other party could go back to school with them.

Zhao Yaqian nodded firmly, "I've thought about it clearly, I'll go to join the Eighth Route Army." Along the way, I was very impressed by the Eighth Route Army, so I decided to join the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Yaqian, it won't be because of that Platoon Commander Li, right? It's been so long, and you haven't forgotten him? Jiang Xuan on the side said.

Zhao Yaqian's eyes were a little evasive, Li Menglan guessed that her friend was really fascinated by the young platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

How so?

Lehi did have a lot of attractive points, but she felt that the Eighth Route Army was too bitter. Although she was closer to the revolution because of the school's propaganda before, she hesitated a little after seeing the conditions of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

"Yaqian, you have to think about it. You haven't finished your studies yet, so why don't you finish your studies before you think about them? Li Menglan persuaded.

At the beginning, there were hundreds of them, but as they arrived in Xi'an, there were fewer of them, because many of those teachers and students would stay in Xi'an, and not many would go to the south.

"Now that the national crisis is at hand, what can you do if you continue to study? Menglan, Xiaoxuan, don't persuade me, you have to go back to school, I don't persuade you to stay, but don't persuade me either. Zhao Yaqian said firmly.

In the end, Li Menglan and Jiang Xuan still failed to persuade Zhao Yaqian, when they saw each other walking into the door of the Eighth Route Army office in Xi'an, she had a feeling in her heart that the next meeting would be a long time later.

Later, as she guessed, the next time they met, it was really a long time later, and the situation of the three of them was different at that time, and everything around them had long been different.

Many of the students who fled from Beiping, Tianjin, Taiyuan and other places passed through Xi'an, and after arriving in Xi'an, many went to the Eighth Route Army office in Xi'an.

Compared with the previous days when they could only secretly engage in underground activities, the offices of the Eighth Route Army are now open in a bright and open manner, and of course it is inevitable that there will be intelligence personnel of the military command and other national governments to supervise them, which is a very normal thing.

Every day, a large number of young students go to Yan'an through the Xi'an office, to go to that holy place of revolution, and Zhao Yaqian is just one of them.

"Hello classmate, what are you doing?"

"I am a student at Peking University and want to go to Yan'an to join the Eighth Route Army...

"Students at Peking University? What will you be? ”

"I know Japanese, dance, and a little English...

"What? Do you know Japanese? ”

。。。。。。

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, a group of people were singing "On the Taihang Mountain"

“。。。。。

We are on Taihang Mountain, we are on Taihang Mountain;

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the soldiers and horses are strong!

。。。。。

Wherever the enemy attacks, we want it to perish! ”

Hearing this passionate song, a group of officers wearing the uniforms of Kuomintang generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals were passing by a wide dam, and it happened that a group of commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army on the dam were practicing "On Taihang Mountain".

"This song called "On the Taihang Mountain" is well written, it captures our Eighth Route Army very much, and it is passionate, and it makes people feel high-spirited when they listen to it. Who did it? Xian Xinghai, light is not yet? Or someone else? One of the officers, who looked older, complimented with a smile.

"Chief, you are wrong this time, it is really not composed by a celebrity, but by a very ordinary cadre of our Eighth Route Army, but the song you heard is composed by Xian Xinghai." A person next to him hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Do we still have such talents in the Eighth Route Army? In which division? The chief said with a smile.

The person next to him was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the chief in front of him to suddenly ask this, he just listened to what the people below said, and he didn't investigate, so he hurriedly asked the people behind him to see if they knew.

Fortunately, someone knows, so it won't be embarrassing for that person.

"The head of the report, it is said to be made by a platoon commander, seems to be only 18 years old."

"Can you write such a good word at 18? It can't be the people below who deliberately attract attention! ”

"Chief, not really. I sent someone to investigate, and I didn't believe it at first, but after inquiring, it was indeed composed by the other party, but the other party didn't seem to know how to compose the music, and then Xian Xinghai recomposed the music according to the tune sung. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect to guess wrong again? Guessed wrongly, the chief was not unhappy, but a little curious, "It can't be a college student who just joined our Eighth Route Army, right?" ”

"Chief... You're guessing wrong again. It was also a college student, not just joining the Eighth Route Army, but a Red Army who had participated in the Long March, and had studied at the Hunan Provincial First Normal School.

During the Long March, he joined the Red Army and is now a platoon commander in the regiment. It is said that he can speak Japanese, but it has not been confirmed. ”

"Japanese? Now we are fighting with the little devils, and we don't know anything about Japanese, and there is a shortage of people who can understand Japanese at the headquarters. Let's see, if that guy really understands Japanese, he will be transferred to the headquarters as a translator. The chief said casually, and then came to the side with a smile to watch the soldiers practice singing "On the Taihang Mountain".

。。。。。。

"Let's go!"

When the machine gun suppressed those devils, a soldier downstairs under Li Jichang hurriedly shouted at the two panicked girls.

At the beginning, the two frightened girls didn't see it, knowing that the other party shouted several times and kept waving, they found out.

But the whole street had become a battlefield, and even the girl did not hear it, thinking that she had called them over.

When he saw the two girls running towards him, Li Jichang's face changed slightly.

"Sir, what now? They're coming to us! Shouted downstairs.

"Suppress the Japanese army for me and cover them!"

Seeing that there were already more than 20 Japanese soldiers gathered around, even if Li Jichang sniped several Japanese soldiers one after another, including a military Cao, a light machine gunner and two grenadiers, there were only eight of them, and there were three people to cover the family of five to leave.

"Dayes, Dayes, are you okay?"

Suddenly, there was a shout from downstairs, and before Li Jichang could ask, a gunshot rang out, and the subordinates next to him fell backwards, covering their left shoulders with their right hands.

"Are you alright?"

"Long... Sir, I. . . It's okay! ”

Just when Li Jichang wanted to retreat after firing another shot, he found a light machine gun pointed at him by the Japanese army, obviously his position had been exposed, and he immediately squatted down and rolled towards the bed.

The Japanese army had found their position, and it was too dangerous to continue to stay, Li Jichang hurriedly came to the ground to his subordinates, took out a first-aid kit from the other party, quickly plugged the wound, and then let the other party cover it, and he carried the other party downstairs.

As he spoke, he shouted, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

As for the two girls, he didn't save them, because when he was about to fire the last shot, in addition to seeing the Japanese machine guns aimed at him, he also saw the two girls being hit by the Japanese bullets and falling to the ground.

And as soon as they left, the Japanese rushed into the house!
