Xiao Feng put the pine branches he had cut back on the fire, and immediately crackled, the fire slowly grew bigger, and soon Feng Wan dried Xiao Feng's coat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Feng Wan, I'll go outside to observe, you change my gown first, and hurry up and bake the wet clothes on your body." Xiao Feng commanded, got up and walked out of the temple gate again.
At this time, the rain outside had stopped, a little stars appeared in the sky, the air became extremely humid and fresh, and the entire mountain beam seemed extremely silent, Xiao Feng felt a little hungry at this time.
However, in this barren mountain range, you can only endure when you are hungry.
Taking two deep breaths, it is estimated that Feng Wan has already changed his clothes, Xiao Feng walked into the temple again, came to the fire, and took a closer look in front of the altar, only to find that this was a mountain temple.
Xiao Feng glanced at Feng Wan sitting by the fire, the firelight reflected her mud-stained face, but it couldn't hide her beauty and aura, Xiao Feng sat down on the ground next to Feng Wan.
"Feng Wan, weren't you afraid when you encountered bandits just now?" Xiao Feng asked.
"I'm afraid, I'm a little scared at first, but then I'm not afraid." Feng Wan said softly.
"Then why were you so scared when it thundered just now?" Xiao Feng asked.
"I've been afraid of thunder since I was a child, and every time there is thunder, my eldest brother and second brother will stay by my side, as long as they are there, I won't be afraid." Feng Wan suddenly remembered his two elder brothers.
"Your second brother is in the 88th Division of the National Army?"
"Well, I don't know how he's doing now? Are you still fighting against the Japanese invaders? ”
"It must still be fighting, the 88th Division of the National Army is doing well, when I was in Tongchuan yesterday, I heard that the 88th Division of the National Army was in the Miaohang and Jiangwan areas, which made it difficult for the 11th Division of the Japanese Army to move an inch."
"The second brother liked to fight and kill when he was a child, unlike my eldest brother, who liked literature."
"It's good that you have two brothers who care about you!" Xiao Feng added a branch to the fire and said.
"Xiao Feng, who else is in your family?" Feng Wan asked.
"In addition to my parents, I also have a younger sister, I don't know what happened to them, I heard that after the transfer of the Central Red Army, many family members of the Red Army were killed by the militia."
"Xiao Feng, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you."
"Feng Wan, why did you go to Yan'an? An eldest lady like you can live a comfortable and peaceful life in Shanghai or Nanjing, but you have traveled thousands of miles to Yan'an, why? Xiao Feng mustered up the courage and asked Feng Wan a question that had always been on his mind.
"I'm not a big lady!"
Feng Wan glared at Xiao Feng.
"Although my father is a high-ranking official in the national government, since I can remember, he has never taken care of our brothers and sisters, it was my mother who brought up our brothers and sisters, I will never forget, in the cold wind, my eldest brother and second brother on the streets of Shanghai to shine shoes, I will never forget, my mother, a beautiful lady, teaching workers to read and write in the shack."
Xiao Feng's words aroused Feng Wan's sadness.
"When I was twelve years old, I found a copy of the Communist Manifesto in my eldest brother's study, and since then, I have known that there is such a group of people in this world, and later when I was studying at Fudan University, I was exposed to more ideas in this area, especially last year, Mr. An's speech strengthened my confidence in going to Yan'an."
Xiao Feng listened to Feng Wan's narration quietly, without interjecting, they were originally people in two different worlds, with different life trajectories, but for a common goal, they actually came to the same road.
"Xiao Feng, do you say that my eldest brother is your person?" Feng Wan suddenly raised her head, with a pair of bright big eyes, and looked at Xiao Feng fixedly and asked.
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with your eldest brother." Xiao Feng replied very simply, Xiao Feng really didn't know Feng Chen's identity.
"I always thought that my eldest brother was a communist, and he should have been your person a long time ago." Feng Wan said firmly.
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Feng asked.
"I just feel, my senses are very sensitive, alas, but, but ......, I can't understand him more and more, I can't feel what kind of person he is." Feng Wan sighed helplessly.
"Feng Wan, I don't think you should dwell on these issues anymore, everyone's life path is their own, family affection and faith are two different things."
Xiao Feng knew what Feng Wan was thinking, and he vaguely knew from the chief that Feng Wan's eldest brother, Feng Chen, had a very close relationship with the Japanese.
"Before I left Shanghai, in his bedroom, I accidentally saw a love letter written to him by a Japanese woman, you say, how could my brother fall in love with a Japanese girl? My sister-in-law is so good. ”
"Feng Wan, what do you want to do after you arrive in Yan'an?" Xiao Feng saw that Feng Wan had been entangled in Feng Chen's affairs, so he deliberately changed the topic and asked.
"I want to join the Eighth Route Army and go to the front line to kill Japanese devils." Feng Wan replied with a firm gaze.
"Killing devils, that's our man's business." Xiao Feng said.
"What? Underestimate me? Didn't I defeat the two bandits today?! Feng Wan said unconvinced.
"Well, you did a good job today, you are not afraid of bandits, even if it is thunder, you ......" Xiao Feng joked with Feng Wan.
"Xiao Feng, are there many female soldiers in the army?" Feng Wan asked.
"Not much, but most of the female soldiers in the army are arranged in hospitals and logistics, and there are no female soldiers in the front-line combat units." Xiao Feng replied.
"You lied to me, I heard Han Dong tell me that the Red Fourth Front Army originally had a women's independent division, and this division was full of female comrades from division commanders to soldiers." Feng Wan questioned Xiao Feng's words.
"Alas, yes, that's right, but our independent division no longer exists."
Xiao Feng sighed, and then told Feng Wan about the heroic deeds of the Women's Independent Division of the Red Fourth Front Army.
In February 1935, the Red Fourth Front Army Women's Independent Division was officially established in Wangmiao Street, Wangcang County, Sichuan, with more than 2,800 people and two regiments under its jurisdiction.
The main tasks of the women's independent division are to defend the rear, annihilate the remnants of the enemy, clear out bandits, transport supplies, rescue wounded soldiers, etc.
In late October 1936, more than 20,000 Red Army troops crossed the Yellow River west under the instructions of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, marched into the Hexi Corridor area of Gansu, and implemented the Ningxia campaign plan.
After crossing the Yellow River to the west, Zhang Guotao reduced part of the Women's Independent Division into a women's anti-Japanese vanguard group, and in January 1937, with the Red 5th Army, he launched a fierce battle with an enemy seven times his size in Gaotai County.
The enemy attacked with artillery fire, and fires broke out in many parts of the city, and several gaps were opened in the city walls.
All the commanders and fighters of the Red 5th Army, including all the women anti-Japanese vanguard regiment soldiers, cooking soldiers, and organ logistics personnel who accompanied the Red 5th Army, all went to the city.
In order to save ammunition, the female warriors used clay pots of lime, mud and sand, and large and small stones and bricks to smash them like hail at the enemy who were grasping the gaps in the city wall, as they had done in the past battles in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet region.
At night, the female warriors filled bags with earth, filled the gaps in the walls, and poured water, and the next day the water froze and became as strong as the original walls.
But under the enemy's heavy artillery manganese bombardment, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, the enemy takes the opportunity to enter the city, the two sides fight with white knives, the female warriors are very brave and tenacious, bayonets, broadswords are missing, they are smashed with stones, and even twisted with the enemy, with fists, teeth, until finally twisting the enemy and rolling down the city wall and perishing.
At the critical moment, the incorporated militia rebelled, opened the city gate and let the enemy rush into the city, Tao Shuliang, the head of the pioneer regiment of the Women's Independent League, led the crowd to fight for the enemy, and unfortunately was shot and died heroically at the age of 27.
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone."
A generation of women heroes, like a wisp of light smoke with the wind, left a tragic story for thousands of miles of Qilian Mountain and the distant Hexi Corridor......
After this battle, the Women's Pioneer Independent Regiment ceased to exist, and the Women's Independent Division ceased to exist.
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he found that Feng Wan's face was full of tears.
"I must be like them, a heroine." Feng Wan said in a low voice.
Xiao Feng didn't speak, silently added some more branches to the fire, although the fire was burning, but the cool breeze still blew in from the temple door, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sneeze.
"Xiao Feng, you turn your head around, and I'll change my clothes." Feng Wan said softly.
"It's okay, you can dress it, I'm in good health, I didn't wear dry clothes at all when I crossed the grass, I didn't come here like this." Xiao Feng waved his hand.
"Obedient, turn around!" Feng Wan's voice became very soft.
