Chapter 131: First Intimate Encounter
Lin Wei and Lao Jiang didn't expect Sun Yumin to be so resolute, neither of them knew what medicine he was selling in his gourd, they were all guessing whether this person really wanted to recuperate and heal, or was deeply heartbroken by Sun Tongxuan and Shang Zhen this time, and didn't want to be the object of other people's plots anymore.
Lao Jiang was not only angry with Dai Li's indefinite time, but also resentful that Sun Yumin didn't give himself and Lin Wei face at all, even if you really want to go to recuperate and treat, you don't need to say to your face that you will quit.
Although he had such thoughts, he didn't show them on his face, and the authentic Zhejiang accent came out again: "Yumin, since your injury is really not suitable for the battlefield, then we can't force it." I only hope that you can recover as soon as possible, and then make contributions to the party-state. ”
After Lao Jiang said this, he stood up, holding the cane that almost never left his hand, and walked to the room behind the office lonely, ignoring neither Sun Yumin nor Dai Li, who was clubbed at the door.
Sun Yumin's heart is still too soft, and every time he sees this kind of scene, he will have an inexplicable impulse, and he will always keep asking himself whether he is right or wrong.
The most embarrassing among several people is Lin Wei, he doesn't know what to do, and the attitude of the commission is to agree to let Sun Yumin resign and recuperate? Or do you just agree to recuperate and not resign?
And Dai Li, who was standing at the door, was even more colorful, not only did he not understand why Sun Yumin suddenly submitted his resignation, but he also didn't understand why the committee would suddenly seem to be a few years older after hearing that Sun Yumin was going to resign.
With the support of the little girl, Sun Yumin slowly walked out of the office and slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
…………
Xiao Shanzi and Zhou Shanjun stood next to the car, and when they saw the little girl helping Sun Yumin out, they ran over, and then helped him into the car.
Zhou Shanjun didn't get into the car, he watched the car carrying the three people disappear into the corner of the street, and then walked forward with lazy steps.
Zhao Lijun hid on the second floor of a house facing the street, and through the gap, he could clearly see Sun Yumin right under his nose, leaving in a black car. It's not that he doesn't want to send someone to follow, but when he saw Zhou Shanjun walking slowly on the street with lazy steps, he was inexplicably incomprehensible.
The car did not go back to the residence, and drove them to the riverside, in a wild ferry port that not many people knew, the little girl found a fishing boat at a high price and waited there, as long as she got on the boat, Sun Yumin was really completely out of touch with this dirty world. Because he was worried that someone would follow, Zhou Shanjun dragged it last, and if there was a tail, he would cut it off mercilessly.
The route planning and transportation were all properly arranged, and there were no problems, so soon, Sun Yumin, Xiao Yatou, and Xiao Shanzi got on the boat, just waiting for Zhou Shanjun to come over, and they could go down the river and go directly to Ruichang to meet Liu Wenzhi.
Jiujiang has been lost, and the Japanese warships have long regarded the Yangtze River waterway as their own back garden, if it were not for the temptation of heavy money, how could the owner of the fishing boat sacrifice his life to the east. Not only Sun Yumin and the three of them were in the cabin, but the owner of the fishing boat and his family were all inside, this was the little girl's idea, she didn't want the spies of the military command to follow this line and be able to find herself. is also considered for the boatman, if he knew that he sent people away, it is estimated that he would not be alive here.
The boatman was a sturdy man in his thirties, and with a woman in his thirties, and had two children, both boys. Both husband and wife were kind fishermen, especially the little boy of seven or eight years old, who were born very cute, but because of strangers, they only hid behind the woman, and refused to come out no matter how the little girl teased them.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Zhou Shanjun rode a bicycle and rushed over, jumped from the speeding bicycle as soon as he arrived at the pier, and ran towards the fishing boat. As soon as he came up, he shouted to start the boat. Seeing his sweaty and hurried appearance, the little girl asked, "Has anyone followed?" ”
Zhou Shanjun nodded and said, "Two batches, let me send them away." He said it very lightly, and others don't know the difficulty of the process, but Sun Yumin and the little girl can understand it deeply.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the surface of the river, like thousands of broken gold, shining. Under the light breeze, the waves gently and meekly fall together, and slowly move forward and forward...... At the top of each surging wave, there is a dazzling light.
The fishing boat sailed downwind in this golden light, as if bathed in holy light, and even the topless boatman at the helm of the stern seemed to be dressed in golden clothes.
The fisherwoman sat in the bow of the boat, picked up a small wooden bucket, and danced lightly and skillfully towards the river, and then hit a bucket of water, and the two little boys sat beside her obediently, helping to pick vegetable leaves and wash rice, and the woman stroked the head of a little boy, and the light in her eyes was not inferior to the afterglow of the setting sun, perhaps it was the happy life that made her intoxicated, and she actually hummed a Hubei song.
The melodious and tactful voice immediately came into the cabin, and the little girl, who was already attracted by the beautiful scenery of the river, immediately walked over, put her hands on her cheeks, and sat quietly beside the three mothers and sons, listening carefully to this sound that seemed to be heavenly.
Sun Yumin also smiled, he may not have seen such a warm and harmonious scene for a long time. A gentle and kind lover, a pair of lovely and sensible children, these simple ordinary people, the lifelong pursuit is probably nothing more than this. If it weren't for this damn war, I would have been able to live such a good life.
Before it got dark, the boatwoman made a sumptuous meal, and the boatman pulled the boat to a gentle shore for everyone to prepare.
There are fish and meat on the table, and the most gluttonous thing for the little girl is the bowl of fish in the middle. Living by the Yangtze River, Nanjing and Wuhan are thousands of miles apart, but many habits are still the same, just like eating fish.
The two little boys were afraid to move, but stood beside their mother, looking at the meat on the table in the cabin from afar. Such a good tutor made Sun Yumin very comfortable, and he said to the three mothers and sons: "Little guys, it's time to eat, come and eat together." ”
The little girl saw that the three of them were still in place, so she walked over and said, "Sister, if you don't bring the children to eat together, how can we get chopsticks?" ”
Zhou Shanjun and Xiao Shanzi echoed each other, one picked up a little boy and sat on the edge of the table, and the boat woman was also pulled over by the little girl, and after getting the permission of his mother, the two little boys smiled. This kind of innocent laughter completely relaxes Sun Yumin, or as an expert in later generations said: only children's laughter is not mixed with other dirty things.
Although the boatman is not very old, he is already a veteran, and he is also stable in the dark, which does not make everyone feel uncomfortable. Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was the urgency of the war ahead, the boat they were on, after a whole night of non-stop, and half a day downstream, the next day at noon arrived in Ruichang, after stopping in a remote place, the boatman hid the boat in the nearby place where the water and grass were lush, and said to Sun Yumin with a smile: "Although this boat is not worth much, but in this place, I don't know when it can save people in a hurry." ”
"Aren't you going to run the boat?" Sun Yumin asked curiously.
"Don't run away. This little girl of yours gave our family a generous settling-in allowance, saying that Wuhan was about to go to war and asked us to move to Chongqing. The boatman's face was shining as he said this, and he carried a bag on his back, and a little boy in one hand, and the boy's mother stood beside him, as if there was no happiness in the whole world.
After saying goodbye to the boatman's family, Sun Yumin and the four of them embarked on the road to meet Liu Wenzhi.
The military uniform has long been changed to the dress of the common people, but after this period of life, the little girl has long made her a new-school intellectual woman, dressed as a village girl, and she can't hide or cover her temperament. Later, it was Sun Yumin who touched her face without her knowledge, so as to cover up her brilliance.
Walking on the stalks full of golden rice ears on both sides, the little girl's mood was quite happy. From time to time, she greeted the busy farmers along the road, and chased the Shiba Inu who barked at her from time to time, and then was chased back by a group of dogs, which made Xiao Shanzi and Zhou Shanjun laugh wildly.
The good mood along the way lasted until the afternoon, and after consulting the farmers, I learned that Ruichang City was not far away, and it could be arrived before dark. Zhou Shanjun and the little girl are extremely excited, Liu Wenzhi and Dai Cunxiang should have arrived a long time ago, the big guy can finally reunite, how can this not be exciting.
Because of Sun Yumin's injury, the speed of the four people walking was not very fast, which could be regarded as allowing the little girl to play solidly for an afternoon, and she never stopped until she heard a crisp bell behind her.
"Caravan." The little girl ran excitedly past Sun Yumin and them, and ran straight to the middle of the mule team.
How can there be a caravan now? Sun Yumin suddenly had doubts in his heart, he glanced at Zhou Shanjun, and this guy accelerated and ran forward, and soon disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

The Hatada Detachment was a garrison unit stationed in Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule. Formerly known as the Shigeto Detachment (also known as the Taiwan Brigade. It was named after Major General Chiaki Shigeto, commander of the garrison stationed in Taiwan, as the head of the detachment. In December 1937, it was incorporated into the 5th Army, and after the 5th Army's combat sequence was lifted, it was reorganized in Taiwan. On February 22, 1938, it was incorporated into the Central China Dispatch Army. On July 4, it was incorporated into the battle sequence of the 11th Army. Subordinate: Taiwan Garrison Command, Wing Commander of the 1st Infantry Wing of Taiwan Sato Yadasa, Wing Commander of the 2nd Wing of the Taiwan Infantry Takahashi Ryosa, Wing Commander of the Taiwan Mountain Artillery Wing Nakajima Yoshinakasa, Taiwan Temporary Automobile Team, Taiwan 1st and 2nd Health Teams, Taiwan Temporary Automobile Team, Taiwan 1st and 2nd Transport Surveillance Team. Among them, the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan and the Taiwan Mountain Artillery Wing were all composed of people from Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan (established in Zhentai (Kumamoto) in August 1871), and the 1st Infantry Wing of Taiwan was composed of people from other parts of Kyushu, Japan.
In the military sequence of the Japanese attack on Wuhan, the Potian detachment was known for its toughness and bravery, and its ferocity. Most of the officers and men of the Potian detachment were young people from Taiwan, and the Japanese military headquarters transferred the Potian detachment from Taiwan with the intention of allowing it to play a role in the scorching heat of Wuhan. In fact, since the Botian detachment acted as the vanguard of the attack on Wuhan, it has been attacking fiercely and invincible all the way.
The reason why this unit is called the Harata Detachment is because of the person Shigeichi Hata. He was born in Hiroshima Prefecture. He graduated from the Kumamoto Army Local Infant School and the Chuo Infant School, and in November 1905, he graduated from the 18th term of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. In June of the following year, he was appointed second lieutenant of infantry. In November 1919, he graduated from the 31st class of the Army University. He successively served as the captain of the 39th Infantry Wing, the General Staff Headquarters, the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters, the Kwantung Army Staff Officer, the Captain of the 30th Infantry Wing, the 17th Division Staff Officer, and the Education Director Department. In August 1930, he was promoted to infantry chief and became an instructor at the Army Infantry School. He successively served as the commander of the 41st Infantry Wing, the captain of the Tianjin Garrison Infantry Wing, and the chief of staff of the 9th Division, and in March 1935, he was promoted to major general of the army. Shigeichi Harata is a cool-headed, resourceful and decisive person, good at attacking, and a rare general. The attack on Anqing and the capture of Jiujiang were all due to the fact that his soldiers were all Taiwanese, or he sent soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary people to get a clear picture of the national army's defense situation, or he changed the entire infantry brigade into the clothing and weapons of the Chinese army, and marched to the Chinese defenders in a grand manner, and Pengze and Hukou were all taken by them.
After capturing Jiujiang and recuperating for a few days, Hakuda Shigeichi couldn't stay idle, and he began to plan to move forward, and Ruichang was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Inside Jiujiang City.
The original headquarters of Li Hansoul was occupied by Shigeichi Hata, and a few days ago, the house was full of officers of the national army, and it became a full house of devil officers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been nearly a week since Jiujiang was taken, and everyone should have rested enough these days, has anyone ever thought about how to move forward and seize the next location?" Shigeichi Harata looked around at everyone and spoke.
"Your Excellency, there is an old Chinese saying that soldiers never tire of deceit. Although they knew that we had a lot of soldiers who could speak Chinese, it was difficult to tell them apart as long as they were properly disguised. "Ryo Takahashi, the commander of the second wing, was the commander of the two battles of Hukou and Pengze, and he wanted to repeat the old plan and take Ruichang as the third target.
"Okay." Hakada Shigeichi praised: "Takahashi-kun, the battle of Ruichang is still under your command, and Nakajima Nakasa will fully cooperate with you." ”
"Hey." Takahashi is full of confidence.
When he personally led more than a dozen Taiwanese soldiers to Ruichang dressed as mules and horses, he would never have imagined that on the road ahead, he encountered a nightmare that he would linger in his life.
The little girl ran into the middle of the mule team with great interest, and regardless of the surprised eyes of others, she stroked the mule's back and asked, "This is the donkey, right?" ”
"Donkey? No, it's a mule. Takahashi Liang spoke a good amount of Chinese, although he really wanted to drive away the village girl in front of him, but he couldn't help but not have a seizure, because he found that there were three men standing not far in front of him, like he was with this village girl, and now he was not far from the foreign army defense line in Ruichang City.
He didn't know that the many doubts in his group were completely evidence of his identity in Sun Yumin's eyes.
