877 [Old Woman with Two Guns]
Liang Tiancheng, as the captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Chinese Air Force and the only remaining one of the Four Heavenly Kings, was also invited to the banquet by Zhou Zhirou.
Everyone came to Chaotianmen Wharf by boat, and the car sent by Zhou Zhirou had been waiting for a long time. Soon after driving into the city, Zhou Hexuan saw countless charred buildings, and even though nearly a month had passed since the bombardment, there were still many houses that had not yet had time to be rebuilt.
Because after the big bombing, there were several smaller bombings.
The U.S. Embassy is the saddest of all, and it has been "bombed by mistake" many times, often just halfway through the repair and then bombed, and the U.S. Foreign Ministry sends a letter of protest to Japan every few days.
There are many homeless refugees along the streets, various charitable groups are sending people to help, and the government has also funded a number of resettlements. But it is still a drop in the bucket, because there are so many people that more than 200,000 people's houses have been destroyed.
"Don't panic, don't crowd, line up, come one by one!"
Zhou Hexuan suddenly saw more than a dozen charity workers with the words "Brother Pao Saves the Congress" tied to their arms. He hurriedly asked the driver to stop, walked over and grabbed a person and asked, "Where are your helmsmen?" ”
The man was stunned, and immediately said excitedly: "It's Uncle Zhou, Master Helm is resettling refugees on the south bank." ”
Zhou Hexuan asked again: "How does Brother Pao Salvation help refugees?" ”
The man replied, "We call on everyone to help each other and repair the bombed house as soon as possible." If you are willing to work, help arrange to work in the factory. The factory couldn't arrange it, so he persuaded the young man to join the army and fight. Our brother Pao doesn't have much money to save the country, so we can only do it like this, Uncle Zhou, you are a rich man, but you have to help the villagers. ”
"Definitely, definitely." Zhou Hexuan nodded again and again.
At the beginning, he was really entangled by Chu Zhiliang and had no choice, so Zhou Hexuan flickered to make a robe brother to save the country, and by the way, he also threw the three "heroes of the rivers and lakes" into it. Now it seems that they have done a good job, at least they have been contributing to the country and the people.
Zhou Hexuan was about to return to the car, when suddenly a refugee recognized him: "It's Zhou Shenxian!" ”
"Zhou Shenxian has returned to Chongqing!"
"Immortal Zhou, help!"
"Zhou Shenxian ......"
Countless refugees chanted the name of "Zhou Shenxian", and some even knelt directly and kowtowed, which instantly made Zhou Hexuan's head extremely big.
Zhou Hexuan could only keep retreating and shouted: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, I will do my best to help." I still have something to do today, so I'll go first. Don't be discouraged, live a good life, and get through the current difficulties! ”
After Zhou Hexuan finished speaking, he flashed into the car, closed the car door and said, "Hurry up!" ”
The driver hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, and there were constant calls along the street, such as "Zhou Shenxian walks slowly" and "Zhou Shenxian saves the suffering", and countless people knelt on the ground and kowtowed along the way.
Many people from other places were stunned, and members of the Red Cross and Red Swastika also stopped working and asked the locals about the glorious deeds of Zhou Shenxian.
Feng Yong looked at the situation on the street and said, "Brother, you are a living bodhisattva in Chongqing!" ”
"Don't say it, I have a headache." Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly. He really didn't know how to help the refugees, and the houses he built were either sold or rented, and there was no place for the refugees to settle down, so he had to donate some money and food to express his gratitude.
The car continued to drive forward, and when it reached Guanyin Bridge, it encountered a large crowd of people, and it seemed that someone was making a speech.
I saw an old woman in her sixties standing on the stone steps on the side of the street. She wore a navy blue wrap around her head, wore a coarse cloth dress, and her face was wrinkled, and at first glance she looked like an ordinary old woman.
However, the old woman carried two guns at her waist and shouted with all her might: "Fight the Japanese devils, don't want anything else, you have to be determined." Don't be afraid if you lose the war, start all over again, and one day you can drive the Japanese devils away...... In 918, my eldest son died of resisting Japan, and I sold my property for military expenses, and the whole family fought devils together! My family of six was arrested by the devils and sent to prison, it doesn't matter, I told the Japanese that I wanted to surrender, haha, I took the opportunity to run away and continue to fight the devils! This time, President Chiang appointed my second son as the commander-in-chief of the North China Anti-Japanese National Army, and our whole family will continue to resist Japan, as long as one of my family is still alive, I will continue to resist Japan......"
"Well said!"
"Old woman, you are so good, you have to get it!"
"I will donate money if you fight devils, I don't smoke anymore, and all the money for cigarettes will be donated to you in the future!"
“……”
Zhou Hexuan suddenly remembered a character and asked the driver: "Is this an old woman with two guns?" ”
The driver admired: "It's her, she is 60 years old, she is still fighting devils, and her family has been fighting against Japan for eight years." ”
"It's a pity." Zhou Hexuan muttered.
Liang Tiancheng asked: "What is the pity?" ”
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's nothing." ”
It's a pity that the old woman with two guns left Chongqing this time, and she didn't fight the Japanese, but the Eighth Route Army.
The old woman with two guns is surnamed Hong, her husband's surname is Zhao, and her full name is Zhao Hong Wenguo. Her eldest son died in the fight against the Japanese, so she sold her property and the whole family fought against the Japanese, and the third son formed the "Young Iron Army".
From 918 to 1935, the "Young Iron Army" had developed to Liaodong and Rehe, and experienced more than 300 battles, killing more than 4,000 enemies and capturing more than 2,000 puppet military police.
After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, the old woman with two guns went to Beiping to organize an armed uprising, announced the establishment of the "North China National Anti-Japanese Army", and broke through the Second Model Prison in Beiping to rescue more than 1,000 people. Later, she shot down a Japanese plane, and the team developed extremely rapidly, and she defected to the Eighth Route Army halfway, and her second son served as the commander of the fifth detachment of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time, the old woman with two guns led her two daughters to Taihang Mountain to open up a base area and create the "Anti-Japanese Liberation Army", and the team grew to tens of thousands. She dispatched the Liberation Army to open up the passage behind enemy lines, and made contact with the "North China National Anti-Japanese Army" of her second son and the "Northeast Youth Iron Army" of her third son, forming a guerrilla front behind enemy lines running through the north and south.
When Lao Jiang accused the Eighth Route Army of swimming but not attacking, the old woman with two guns also went to Chongqing to give a speech to correct the name of the Eighth Route Army. But just some time ago, her second son had a conflict with the Eighth Route Army, broke away from the team and went south, and was immediately recruited by Lao Jiang.
The reason for the contradiction may be related to political ideas. The old woman's second son was a member of the Kuomintang and was born in a hostile relationship with the Communist Party, and there were various contradictions and conflicts in the development of the base areas behind enemy lines.
The children of the old woman with two guns have already gone to the front line of resistance against Japan, and at the end of next month, her second son and eldest daughter will be killed. He was not killed by the Japanese invaders, but by the Eighth Route Army, and by the troops of He Shuai and Nie Shuai.
Because they didn't continue to kill the Japanese devils, they actually aimed their guns at the Eighth Route Army.
After the death of a pair of children, the old woman with two guns did not provoke the Eighth Route Army again, and continued to send her other children to the battlefield to fight devils. But after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, her whole family completely turned to the Kuomintang, killing more than 300 innocent people at one time, and the former anti-Japanese troops became gangsters.
He Shuai tried his best to win over this old woman, but she was stubborn and was finally shot by military law at the age of 70.
For this old woman with two guns, Zhou Hexuan really doesn't know how to evaluate it.
