Chapter 1: Here comes the devil

In the winter of 1937, the cold wind howled in the northeast of Shanxi Province, and the grass was devastated.

Tibetan Mountain, formerly known as Yushan, is located in the north of Yuxian County, at the western foot of Taihang Mountain, 18 kilometers away, because Cheng Ying rescued orphans and hid Yushan for 15 years and changed its name to Tibetan Mountain.

Deep in the Tibetan Mountains, under a cliff, there are dense vines and plants such as wall creepers and kudzu that have withered. The cold wind swept by, and the withered yellow leaves fluttered and whimpered.

A pair of white jade hands stretched out from the dense vines, gently separating the withered wall creeper and kudzu to the sides, revealing a picturesque face.

After vigilantly looking around for a while, to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, a girl with short ear-length hair, a white scarf tied around her neck, a white sweater inside, a woolen skirt outside, and leather shoes on her feet, holding a blood-stained bandage, got out of the dense vines of the creeper, walked about 150 meters to the left in the woods, and walked out of the gap between two abrupt boulders, and then went up the mountain sheep intestine trail and walked to the small river below the mountain.

The creek has not yet frozen.

When the girl walked to the river, she put down her bandage, squatted down, reached out into the water, and screamed softly with an "oops" from the cold, and quickly put her hand to her lips, and used the hot breath in her mouth to warm her hands.

After a while, the girl endured the cold hands, squatted down by the creek and began to wash the bandages.

This girl's name is Mei Ying, 21 years old this year, and she is the daughter of a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman in Indonesia.

After graduating from high school, Mei Ying returned to China to study at Peking University. After the "77" Lugou Bridge Incident, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University and other universities were ordered by the Nationalist Government to move south and establish a national provisional university in Changsha. Mei Ying, who was young and devoted to the War of Resistance, decisively interrupted her studies, went north from Changsha, returned to North China to participate in the War of Resistance, and went to the newly opened anti-Japanese base area behind the enemy line in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area.

The Political Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, which had just been established, saw that Mei Ying had a high level of education and a good temperament, and that she was a student of Peking University, so it was ready to send her back to Beiping to carry out underground work. Before he set off, he caught up with the Japanese army's eight-way siege of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area. Because Mei Ying had a certain ability in medical care, the military region arranged for her to temporarily go to the Tibetan mountains north of Yuxian County to take care of the wounded who had been evacuated from the field hospital of the military region.

Behind the creeper under the cliff that Mei Ying came out of just now is a hidden cave, which conceals 36 seriously wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were evacuated and transferred from the field ambulance station of the 115th Division, which has just been changed to the field hospital of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

After the Japanese army captured Taiyuan on November 8, the government of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the border region was transferred from Wutai to Fuping. The field hospital in Geng Town, Wutai County, was also ordered to move to Fuping, and the seriously wounded who remained in the hospital to recuperate had to be evacuated and hidden. Unexpectedly, the little devil moved quickly, and in order to relieve the threat of the Jin-Cha-Ji military and civilians to their rear traffic, they began to launch an eight-way siege on the newly-born Jin-Cha-Ji border area on November 24. The situation suddenly became tense, and the wounded who had been evacuated and concealed on the spot in Wutai had to be transferred, and then they were transferred to the area on the south bank of the Hutuo River.

After the Japanese army captured the county seat of Yuxian, considering that the terrain of the Tibetan Mountains was dangerous, the mountains were big and the ravines were deep, and the little devils would probably not be able to get there for the time being, and the Tibetan Mountains were backed by the rich area on the south bank of the Hutuo River, so it was not a problem to provide for them, and the newly established Fourth Detachment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division were operating in this area to facilitate support, so the Military Region ordered this contingent of wounded soldiers to move into the Tibetan Mountains to hide.

At first, the wounded were placed in the Tibetan Mountain Shrine in the Tibetan Mountain, but later, in order to prevent the Japanese army from raiding, under the guidance of a monk, they found this hidden cave deep in the mountains and settled down.

The reason why these seriously wounded were transferred south from Wutai to Zangshan in the north of Yuxian County was that in addition to the Japanese army's eight-way siege and no one knew where the Japanese army would attack and where it would be safe, there was another important reason, that is, these 36 wounded were all from the 685th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division, and once the wounded recovered, they had to find the 685th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division to return to the team. After the 115th Division led the main force of the 343rd Brigade from Wutai to the south on October 26, it fought an ambush in Guangyang, wiped out more than 1,000 Japanese troops, and then was ordered to turn to Jinxi. At this time, the troops of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division who remained north of Zhengtai Road only had the Yongxing Detachment composed of the second battalion of the 685th Regiment.

Whoever sees Mei Ying for the first time will be shocked by her beauty!

Melon seed face, curved eyebrows, straight and small nose, thin lips, deep dimples, tall and slender figure, especially those eyes, like a clear spring, when the eye waves flow, even a stone man will be intoxicated and melt.

No wonder when Mei Ying changed the dressing for the wounded, even if the wounded were in pain, they would grit their teeth and hold back their painful moans, all of them were as honest as seventeen or eighteen-year-old shy girls!

As she was washing, she felt movement behind her, Mei Ying turned her head and saw a young soldier of the Eighth Route Army wearing a gray single military uniform and straw sandals standing behind her, her lips were blue, but she looked at her with a smile.

In the cold winter, this soldier had to wear a single military uniform and straw sandals when he swore to go on the expedition!

This soldier of the Eighth Route Army, Mei Ying is very familiar with, called Xiao Siming, a native of Luoyang, Henan, who lived and went to school in Guangzhou and Shanghai with his parents who worked underground since he was a child. Because of the traitor's betrayal, Xiao Siming's parents died in the Kuomintang's Shanghai Beixinjing Prison. Xiao Siming, who became an orphan, was sent to the Jiangxi Soviet District by the underground party, just in time to catch up with the expansion of the Red Army before the Long March, 14-year-old Xiao Siming was eager to take revenge, signed up for the Red Army, and became a red imp of the Red 15th Division, which is also known as the International Division of the Young Communist Party. Because of his courage in fighting the war, Xiao Siming, who had a preliminary level of Chinese, was already a company commander on the Long March. After the Red Army's Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, due to the large attrition and downsizing of the troops, Xiao Siming was changed from company commander to platoon commander. At the end of the Eastern Expedition, Xiao Siming once again became a company commander for meritorious service, and was sent to study in the Second Brigade of the Second Phase of Kang Da, which specialized in training cadres of the Red Army battalion and company. When the Red Army reorganized the Eighth Route Army, Xiao Siming graduated early from Kang Da and returned to the old army to become the platoon commander of the fifth company of the second battalion of the 685th regiment of the 115th division again.

During the Pingxingguan ambush battle, the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 685th Regiment served as an assault team, and blew up more than 20 Japanese cars in 20 minutes after hitting the road, and then plunged into a fierce battle with the elite of the Japanese army from the direction of Dongpaochi to fight for the 1363 heights, the company commander Zeng Xiansheng died, the instructor Yang Junsheng was seriously injured, and the whole company of more than 160 people was finally left with only more than 30 people.

When Xiao Siming and the little devil were fighting with the bayonet, they were stabbed in the abdomen by the devil's bayonet, and the tip of the knife pierced out from behind.

When cleaning the battlefield after the war, the comrades-in-arms found Xiao Siming's body at the foot of the mountain, and when they carried it to be buried, they found that Xiao Siming's body showed signs of shaking and should still be alive, so they were sent to the field ambulance for rescue.

This is all what Mei Ying heard from other wounded people, Xiao Siming himself has never talked about himself, and he rarely speaks.

Mei Ying couldn't figure out how Xiao Siming's vitality was so strong, he was poked into a transparent hole by a bayonet, and he was sure to die, and he rolled down the mountain with the little devil in his arms, and the short and sturdy little devil who was not injured fell to his death, but Xiao Siming still had a chance of life! It is said that after seeing Xiao Siming's injury, Director Ye Qingshan of the 115th Division Field Ambulance Station at that time, directly asked people to prepare a coffin, saying that this person is not good and cannot be saved! I didn't expect Xiao Siming to recover from his injuries very quickly, one day at a time, it was only less than two months, and he was alive again!

The reason why Mei Ying is very familiar with Xiao Siming is also very secretive and ashamed to say it is that every time she wipes Xiao Siming's wound with iodine wine, Xiao Siming is not as honest as other wounded, but dares to stare at Mei Ying's white and red pretty face and bulging chest. That look, the thief is bright and the thief is bright, and there are too many inexplicable meanings in it.

Mei Ying is so beautiful, she has seen more of this kind of eyes since she was a child, and she knows that Xiao Siming has amazement, joy, and naked possessiveness in her eyes, and she is the look that a standard man can't wait to eat when he meets a woman he likes!

Every time Mei Ying changed Xiao Siming's dressing or checked, she would be red and red and her heart beat faster by his aggressive eyes!

The most infuriating thing is that the day before yesterday, Mei Ying examined Xiao Siming's wound and pressed her hand on the lower end of Xiao Siming's abdomen. This Xiao Siming, who is not very old and evil, stood up straight and straight under the crotch with a "vacant" ground, put up a small tent with gray cotton pants, and was so ashamed that Mei Ying turned around and left, scolding this guy in his heart for not being too old and having a lot of bad eyes, and a standard person with a big ghost!

For this reason, seeing Xiao Siming smiling and groaning at this moment, Mei Ying blushed for no reason, and after a while, she calmed down before she said angrily: "Xiao Siming, you have violated discipline again!" Who let you out? ”

Mei Ying didn't know that the reason why the red ghost Xiao Siming was able to stand in front of her with a smile and a groan, and the reason why he was different from other wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was because in later generations, there was a special operations elite named Xiao Siming, who was a training staff officer who was struck by a lightning bolt, and his soul crossed and fused with the soul of Xiao Siming, who was about to die on the battlefield of Pingxingguan, so he survived. Otherwise, Xiao Siming, the little red ghost, would have become an unknown martyr who died in the Pingxingguan ambush battle as in history.

Today's Xiao Siming, the body is the red ghost Xiao Siming's, but the soul is the special warfare elite and training staff officer Xiao Siming of later generations. It should be said that the red imp Xiao Siming no longer exists, and it is Xiao Siming, a special operations elite and training staff officer who has been reborn in Nirvana!

Xiao Siming looked at Mei Ying with a smile and said softly: "Sister Mei, my injury is healed, coming out to move, hiding in the cave is about to suffocate people!" ”

Mei Ying didn't care about washing the bandages, stood up, stopped in front of Xiao Siming, and scolded: "Nonsense! Who said your injuries were healed? I checked the day before yesterday and the wound healed well, but it was definitely not completely good, and it had to be consolidated for a while. Hurry back! The little devils have occupied the county seat of Yuxian County, and they are running around, in case they encounter devils, it will be dangerous? ”

Mei Ying spoke with a southern accent, crisp and soft, like a yellow oriole chirping.

Xiao Siming didn't care, and said: "Sister Mei, it's okay, it's better for the devils to come, I'm waiting for them to serve the food!" ”

"Serving?"

Mei Ying's eyes looked straight at Xiao Siming's face, not understanding what "serving" meant.

Seeing that Mei Ying didn't understand the meaning of "serving", Xiao Siming was a little embarrassed, smiled, and said, "The meaning of serving food is that the devil comes to death with guns and canned beef!" ”。

After speaking, without waiting for Mei Ying to ask again, Xiao Siming dropped a sentence, "You wash it first, I'll go to the front to have a look, reconnoiter the enemy, and see if I can catch a devil and get a gun by the way", turned around and was about to leave.

Mei Ying was in a hurry, for fear that Xiao Siming would run away, so she grabbed his arm.

The four eyes are facing each other, and each other's breathing can be heard clearly!

Xiao Siming suddenly said: "You are so beautiful!" ”

Mei Ying's hand holding Xiao Siming's arm was released immediately, she was ashamed and angry, her face was flushed, her chest rose and fell, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "The red imp who has been through a hundred battles and graduated from Kang University, I think he is a villain!" ”

It wasn't until she started squatting down to wash the bandages again that Mei Ying's mood calmed down, and she said angrily: "If you dare to act privately, I will report to my superiors that you are a deserter!" ”

I can't afford to be a deserter!

Xiao Siming had no choice but to say "", honestly walked to a clearing by the river that Mei Ying could see, and began to move his body and practice the Yijin Sutra.

Seeing that Xiao Siming was honest, Mei Ying ignored him, and quietly continued to wash the bandages, and after washing, hung the bandages one by one on the branches by the river, letting the sun shine and the wind dry.

was busy, when she heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on the mountain road, Mei Ying turned her head to see that on the mountain road by the small river in the south, I don't know when five ghost soldiers appeared, and one of the spears at the head also carried a disgusting sun flag, and ran towards her without saying a word.

Mei Ying sighed in her heart: The devil is here!
