Chapter 59: On the Taihang Mountain
"The red sun shines all over the east,
The god of liberty is singing!
Look!
Thousands of mountains, copper walls and iron walls!
The anti-Japanese beacon fire is burning on Taihang Mountain!
Arrogant!
Listen up!
The mother told her son to fight the East, and the wife sent her husband to the battlefield.
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! ”
At night, when they were resting and chatting with each other after eating some dry food, they heard a very rhythmic and passionate song.
It immediately attracted the attention of these teachers and students.
"Listen, what's the song?"
"I haven't heard of it, it seems to be very good, very imposing."
"It's very good, it makes people's blood boil."
After the teachers and students chatted with each other, they found that the group of Eighth Route Army who had come to escort them were singing the song, and after the song ended, these teachers and students applauded in unison.
Lehi and the others found out that the movement was so big.
"Platoon Commander Li, hello, what's the name of this song? It sounds imposing and exciting, which great composer wrote it? Professor Yang stepped forward and asked curiously.
In this era of war, there are really many excellent composers and many excellent songs, such as "March of the Volunteers" and "On the Songhua River", which have been widely sung.
Professor Yang thinks that this is a new song written by a composer, and according to the content of the song, it should have been written not long ago. But he didn't know that this song came out earlier than in history, not that the original author Gui Taosheng wrote it now, this person is still carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda on the battlefield in Shanxi, and it is difficult to say whether he wrote this song or not.
It's just that Lehi was idle and had nothing to do, and sang it, so he was teaching the soldiers below to learn.
Li Hai smiled awkwardly, "Professor Yang is polite, he wrote a few words blindly when he thought of the experience of the Anti-Japanese War in the past few months. ”
This time it was Professor Yang's turn to be surprised, and glanced at the young platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, "Platoon Commander Li has read?" ”
"I have read it, before joining the Red Army, I was at the Hunan Provincial First Normal School."
"I didn't expect Platoon Commander Li to be a scholar, how could he be a small platoon commander in the Eighth Route Army?"
Hunan Provincial No. 1 Normal School was actually a high school at this time, and it was previously called Hunan Provincial Senior High School.
"I joined the Red Army relatively early, and I joined the Red Army before graduating." Lehi didn't deny it.
"Did you really write this song? Is there a sheet music? Zhao Yaqian suddenly rushed out from behind Professor Yang and asked curiously.
"No, I just wrote the lyrics, I can't compose music!" If it was about lyrics, Lehi would still be able to pass it, but if he didn't believe in the composition, he couldn't even read the score.
"But you're singing very well!" Zhao Yaqian was a little unhappy, thinking that the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army was deliberately deceived.
"I'll hum casually." Lehi directly played a scoundrel, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
"You...
"Ahem, Mr. Zhao!" Professor Yang couldn't help coughing twice, and then asked Li Hai, "Platoon Commander Li, this song is full of the melody of the passion of the anti-Japanese military and civilian revolution, which makes every Chinese have a proud and heroic ambition of patriotism, and it can be described as the soul of the nation that ripples with solemnity and broad romanticism."
Such a good song should not be buried, it should be sung by the Chinese people. ”
is worthy of being a university professor, and what he says is the head is the Tao, which makes Lehi suddenly have a state of returning to his previous life.
"Is this appropriate?" If this is spread out, won't it become plagiarism itself?
"How is it not suitable? It just so happens that some of these students can compose music, and I can ask them to help you compose the whole song for you. ”
The more Professor Yang talked, the more excited he became, and several male and female students next to him were also helping, so that Li Hai had no room for refusal.
So for the next few days, the team was humming songs as they went, and even Lehi became acquainted with the students.
Although Li Hai was as old as these students, he had rich life experience, and he could talk about the events during the Long March, as well as about fighting little devils.
And Lehi is still teaching English to some of the students.
This can make these students admire, in terms of academic qualifications, Li Hai is only a high school normal student, the worst of them is also a college student, and there is no shortage of elite students. Unexpectedly, Lehi could not only write songs, but also English.
"Lehi, I didn't expect you to know everything, you have such a good talent for languages, how can you be a small platoon commander, it stands to reason that you should be very short of such talents." The bold Li Menglan obviously dared to speak.
"It's true that we don't have Russian and Japanese talents, and we don't deal with the British and Americans, so what's the use of knowing English?" Lehi laughed at himself half-truthfully.
"That's just as well!" Li Menglan suddenly realized.
After chatting a lot, Li Hai became more familiar with these college students, especially with Li Menglan and Zhao Yaqian, and they could chat with each other.
And Lehi's performance during this time also made the soldiers in the second platoon see a different platoon commander, and they all felt that Lehi was really condescending to be a platoon commander here.
It should be transferred to the headquarters, so that it may be able to give full play to its talents.
On this day, the night before leaving the mountain, Zhao Yaqian found Li Hai, hesitated for a while and said, "Can I join your Eighth Route Army?" ”
"Yes!" Without hesitation, Lehi replied, "But I don't recommend that you join our Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. I don't know why you want to join the Eighth Route Army, but I want you to think about it, and you can observe it in the rest of the year.
What we need are like-minded comrades.
If you think about it clearly, you can go to the Eighth Route Army Office in Xi'an to sign up, where you can be sent to Yan'an, and you can go to Kang University to study for a while. ”
Lehi didn't know why he said that, but he was right.
At present, Kang Da is recruiting people, and in the fourth phase of Kang Da, which will start early next year, there are more than 2,000 people from Xi'an through the Eighth Route Army Office, accounting for 40 percent of the entire fourth phase of students.
He didn't know why the other party chose to join the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't want the other party to be impulsive. After all, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are very difficult, and these college students are basically either rich or expensive, because elite education is practiced in this era, and those whose family conditions are not good, they really can't go to university.
So he hopes that the other party will think it through, so as not to regret it later, which is not a trivial matter.
"Thanks for the reminder, can we meet again after this time?"
Zhao Yaqian's eyes had a strange look.
Li Hai naturally saw the other party's thoughts and nodded, "As long as there is fate, there will naturally be a chance to see you again." ”
