Chapter 143: General Trend, Rehearsal

After resting, it is time to rush back to the base area before the enemy mobilizes forces to search and suppress the operation.

This major operation can be said to have broken the enemy's consolidation of the occupied area. Although it cannot be said to be long-term, temporary chaos can be imagined.

Moreover, the mine was badly damaged, and the Japanese wanted to resume production, not only would it take time, money, but they could also abandon it because the cost was too great.

If the mine is abandoned, the area loses much strategic value. Perhaps, the devils will shrink their defenses again, or even abandon the area.

Of course, the enemy may also be angry and retaliate.

But if you don't fight the enemy, he will come and sweep and burn and kill; You hit him, and the result is pretty much the same.

The rescue of nearly 300 miners will not only increase the number of soldiers to the troops, but also some of them will contribute to the anti-Japanese cause.

And after several battles, the main battalion suffered heavy casualties, and the replenishment was very fast, and almost half of the personnel had to be replaced.

But the effort is worth it, first of all, it has been greatly improved in terms of weapons and equipment, and secondly, it is necessary to expand the personnel, and it is estimated that it will not take too much time to add another company.

As for the guerrillas, they have grown up in battle, and it can be seen from the attack on the mines that they have the ability to take charge of themselves.

After a day's trekking, when it was dark, the centaurs had already entered the base area, and their emotions immediately relaxed and became active.

The district committees, which had received the news early, dispatched cadres and mobilized the masses to greet the victorious soldiers and their suffering compatriots.

The main force and the two squads of the guerrillas went out of the mountains and forests, and the miners and the masses first went to the villages to rest. Most of the guerrillas stayed behind and rearranged them.

Who dares to say that the enemy will not be able to reconnoiter from this cliff repeatedly, and who can guarantee that the enemy will not use this as a breakthrough point, and will also use his own way to govern others?

Therefore, the defense and early warning system must be improved, and the original small number of guards and sentinels are obviously weak.

The final decision was to leave a team here to defend, thirty or so people, which is not too strong, but it is enough to resist and provide early warning.

Minggang, secret sentinels, fortifications, and early warning fireworks were all arranged, and Zhao Tie and Lao Zhoucai led the men and horses to Xiaoyushu Village for rest.

It can be said that this large-scale operation indirectly protected spring ploughing production.

The enemy who has been hit hard will have to slow down for a while, and at the same time increase the number of troops on the defense, and the defense will once again be hit in the heart.

Before and after spring ploughing is the period of high incidence of the enemy's sweeping, which can not only destroy the production of the base areas, but also not help the concealment of the military and civilians in the base areas.

However, judging from the current situation, if there is no foreign transfer of troops, the enemy will be unable to launch an attack with the strength of his own county.

Although the time for the sweep has been greatly delayed, spring is also a difficult time. There was no fighting, but the belly problem was not easy to solve.

The fields have shed their yellow coats, and all kinds of plants spit out green shoots. The most sensitive response to spring is willow. The branches that swayed in the wind, showing a pale green, became pliable.

As far as the eye can see, the fields are full of the smell of spring.

On the stubble of the old grass and trees that had been cut down by people, the young shoots were pulled out wildly and vigorously, and they grew under the caress of the wind and rain and the sun.

The moist breeze blows, and the smell of wild flowers and grass goes straight to people's hearts. People can't help but open their mouths wide and breathe deeply, feeling intoxicated and refreshing as if they were drinking nectar.

In the distance in the fields ran a few children, driven by hunger and new life, running all over the field, looking, laughing and playing, chasing and competing.

Every spring, food is very scarce, and in order to survive this green and yellow time, ordinary people have to eat wild vegetables and leaves.

The first to be unearthed in the spring is a wild vegetable called the old eagle brocade. Armed with knives and baskets, children go out into the field in groups to hunt for seedlings of this wild vegetable, the size of a copper coin.

This kind of wild vegetable, when you go home, splash it with boiling water, mix it with bran noodles and steam it, it is very tough.

At the same time, the excavated herb is endive, which is a wild vegetable with very white and tender roots and a little bitterness.

Later, there was more vitality in the fields, and there were more varieties of wild vegetables.

There are yellow mustaches, there are broom seedlings, you can eat them. When the leaves sprouted, the children stripped off their feet, spit in the palms of their hands, and went up to the trees to make elm leaves and elm money, which was the best dish.

In the early morning, there is still dew, and there is frost and cold. The children's little hands were red from the cold, but soon the sun came out and they felt warm.

Running for food and clothing, and not feeling much sorrow, is only childhood.

Shen Chen grinned helplessly, put the gun down, the hare that was aimed at didn't know that he had picked up a life, and stood up his legs in the field to look this way.

It's not that he's gluttonous, but it's that this guy has itchy hands. Shen Chen also knew that bullets were precious, and they were in the base area, so it was not okay to put the gun casually.

In the guerrillas, Shen Chen lived quite comfortably. He didn't participate in the large-scale training, but he gave guidance during shooting training, and the food he ate was better than others.

Now, he wanders outside the village, thinking about life.

Battalion Commander Wang thought about it, and began to do Shen Chen's work in a roundabout way, hoping that he would take the initiative to join the army.

But Shen Chen never made it clear that he accepted all the canned food and biscuits he gave him.

Joining the main force, Shen Chen was worried that he would not be able to get the freedom he has now; The second is to stay away from his family, which also makes him a little hesitant.

The main force will be pulled out sooner or later, and it is difficult to say where it will go. Even if he is still spinning in Shandong, it is uncertain when he will be able to come back.

Shen Chen thought as he walked, until there was a whip on the avenue, and then he put away his thoughts and looked up.

When he saw the person clearly, Shen Chen smiled and raised his hand to say hello.

The owner of the car restranded the livestock, and several young women from the Women's Rescue Association and the district performance team jumped out of the car with a chatter.

Shen Chen didn't know where these women were going, so he approached and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?" ”

Li Jinxiu said with a smile: "The main force is back to rest, and the district will organize a consolation performance, let's go to Yushuzhuang to prepare first." ”

"The main force?" Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, and then knew that it was not Camp Commander Wang, who was not referring to them, "How many have you come back here, is it going to be a big battle?" ”

Sun Lianying hurriedly said: "It's the fifth regiment, and it stayed with us for a while a year ago!" ”

"You guerrillas should be able to go too." Li Jinxiu smiled: "Watch the big show, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, yes." Shen Chen smiled and nodded repeatedly.

In Shen Chen's position, the news is relatively closed.

He didn't know that the devils had carried out three campaigns to strengthen public order in Shandong, and the encroachment on the anti-Japanese base areas was becoming more and more severe.

In the struggle against encroachment, the main forces suffered heavy casualties and were gradually forced to retreat to the mountains.

It was already April 1942, and the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had arrived.

Of course, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong was better than that in North China, mainly because of the terrain. However, under the gradual intensification of the Japanese army's sweeping and encroachment, the plain area was lost, and it slowly turned to the mountainous and semi-mountainous areas.

However, the advance of the net in the mountainous area was very difficult for the Japanese army. If a thick encirclement network cannot be formed, the encircled anti-Japanese forces will be able to break through their weak points.

Even so, it is an indisputable fact that the base areas are shrinking. For example, in Hailing District, six districts have been encroached upon to only two and a half left.

Shen Chen naturally didn't know this, and he didn't really care too much. Because, care cannot be reversed, cannot be changed.

In this small local area, he has done his best and achieved great results, and the strength of one person is only exhausted here.

Li Jinxiu and the others stopped to greet Shen Chen, but they didn't just tell him the news, but felt that the lineup of the performance was not strong enough, and wanted to pull several female members of the guerrilla team into it.

"Then I'll ask them!" Shen Chen heard what he meant, and turned around to leave.

"Da Mei, you agree first!" Sun Lianying grabbed Shen Chen and said with a smile: "When I gave a condolence performance last time, I heard others say that you are very good at singing." ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "What's the matter, I kill enemies very well, but my singing is incomplete." ”

"You didn't sing "The Ballad of the Great Wall"?" Sun Lianying pouted and said: "It's quite like, if they hadn't said it, I would have been deceived by you." ”

Li Jinxiu also remembered and said: "Yes, the soldiers want to listen, but we can't sing, it's a shame!" ”

Shen Chen hurriedly said perfunctorily: "Yang Ye, they can sing, if you look for Captain Zhao and Director Zhou, they will definitely agree." ”

"Then you don't want to run." Li Jinxiu said: "You didn't go last time, and you are not allowed to make up any more reasons this time." ”

Shen Chen smiled and said nothing, neither agreeing nor refusing, in fact, he did not make a final decision.

"In this way, you go to the venue to rehearse first, and Lian Ying and I will go to Captain Zhao and Director Zhou." Li Jinxiu felt that as the director of the Women's Rescue Association, he was also welcoming the main force, and Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou's general arguments were very high.

Moreover, at the time of the condolence performance, the guerrillas should also put out a show.

Shen Chen helplessly led Li Jinxiu and Sun Lianying to the training ground and found Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.

Sure enough, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou happily agreed, and handed over the task of performing to Shen Chen and the other four female team members.

The leader agreed, but Shen Chen became indifferent. Isn't it just a song, or a chorus of several people, just mix!

"Let's sing "The Ballad of the Great Wall"!" Shen Chen was very lazy, but he didn't want to do anything unexplainable, and he felt that this song was easy to learn and sing, so he probably didn't have to appear by himself, just have Yang Ye and the three of them.

"Okay, you can teach us!" Yang Ye and the others had heard that Yu Baogen had leaked his mouth, but they had never heard Shen Chen sing, and they were also very curious and looking forward to it.

The music of "The Ballad of the Great Wall" is desolate and tragic, simple and natural, the melody does not fluctuate much, the rhythm is stable, the vocal range is not wide, and it sounds kind and beautiful; The singing is both colloquial and national.

It is precisely because of the above-mentioned melody, rhythm and structure characteristics of this song that it also pours out the suffering of the people who are forced to leave their homes and wander, so as to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people who share the same hatred for the enemy.

Therefore, this song can be widely circulated during the Anti-Japanese War.

Because of this, Shen Chen didn't have a hard time teaching. After a few times, Yang Ye and the others sang a little like that, but the lyrics still need to be memorized.

"Da Mei, you sing so well." Chang Chunling admired from the bottom of her heart, "Why didn't you sing before?" Why hide it? ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't like to sing, I don't want to sing." You practice well, I don't necessarily go on stage. ”

"Then what's the matter, you're the lead singer, it's all up to you to bring the melody!" Yang Ye was the first to object, "Without you, we won't sing out of tune?" ”

Shen Chen scratched his head, and then remembered that there was no musical instrument accompaniment, just singing!

It's not very difficult to find a musical instrument, don't think about the piano or anything, folk gongs and drums, locks, and erhu can be found in the village.

But finding a musician and practicing the music again is not enough trouble!

Shen Chen quickly dispelled this idea, just sing it! It's nothing even to perform on stage, it's my own image......

"Look at my hair, standing with you, it's really not a match." Shen Chen thought of another reason and said, "You practice hard, it's no problem, I believe in you." ”

Zhao Xiaodan hugged Shen Chen from behind and said with a smile: "There are many reasons, but it just doesn't work." ”

"yes, it just doesn't." Chang Chunling smiled: "We are the four sisters in the guerrillas, we want to go together, or we don't." ”

Shen Chen blinked his eyes and snorted, "The third sister is okay, it sounds quite smooth!" ”

"It's refreshing, don't be verbose." Yang Ye glared, and coaxed with a smile: "Okay Damei, don't retreat, let's go together!" ”

Shen Chen rolled his eyes helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not hypocritical, let's go together." ”

Originally, it was four women rehearsing alone, but the conditions were like that, and there was no separate music room or anything. After singing in the hut for a while, the outside was crowded with eavesdropping team members.

"Listen, our captain's voice." Yu Baogen's face was proud, and he reminded others in a low voice, "How clear and good." I've heard this song once, and it's so good, it's great. ”

Cao Xiaobao chimed in: "It's good, it's so good." It's better than singing, and that bright voice must be full of color. ”

Listening to these two guys blowing and blowing, the other team members had nothing to say.

The captain of the family is powerful, fighting devils is the first, and even the main force is convinced. And when it comes to singing, it's really unambiguous, the voice is full of energy, and it's much better than the softness of singing.

Moreover, the lyrics are understandable, like telling a story.

It not only complained about the atrocities of the Japanese invaders and the suffering of the masses, but also called on "everyone to fight back desperately, even if the slaves are strong and strong", showing the confidence of the Chinese people in their unyielding strength and unity and struggle, and "the hearts of 40,000 compatriots are the same, and the new Great Wall is thousands of miles long."
