Section 3 Taihang Xing XII
The third part of the Bloody and Fire War of Resistance, the ninth chapter of the rush, the third section of the Taihang line
The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is located in Matian Town, Liao County, deep in the Taihang Mountains, surrounded by mountains, deep ravines, easy to defend and difficult to attack. /。 \\ Different from history, due to the agreement reached between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the New Fourth Army went north, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army was greatly improved, and the competition for the base area in central Hebei was fierce, and the incident of the Japanese army's surprise attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not occur in history.
Matian is the core area of Taihang Mountain, in addition to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, ** Northern Bureau, Taihang Mountain Luyi Branch, Kang University Branch, Party School, Arsenal, are all here, the Japanese army in North China also knows that there are a large number of Eighth Route Army institutions gathered here, but there is no strength to attack, to fight here, you must pass through the three lines of defense set up by the Eighth Route Army, the only heavy artillery regiment provided by the Kuomintang is also stationed nearby, this heavy artillery regiment is basically a decoration, the reason is that the Kuomintang has only provided ammunition once, and the Eighth Route Army itself can not build, Each gun has only two base ammo.
The Japanese army did not want to attack, and the First Army of the North China Dispatch Army stationed in Shanxi organized several encirclement and suppression, and every time it attacked the vicinity, it was resolutely beaten out by the Eighth Route Army, losing tens of thousands of troops, and finally had to give up. Okamura Ningji changed his strategy and decided to first take the base area of Jinchaji in central Hebei, southern Hebei, and Jinchaji to cut off the material supply of the Eighth Route Army on Taihang Mountain, and then look for an opportunity to eliminate the Eighth Route Army on Taihang Mountain in one fell swoop.
There are so many rear organs of the Eighth Route Army gathered here, and there are people wearing military uniforms everywhere inside and outside the town, Mei Youlan quickly noticed that in addition to the yellow military uniform of the Eighth Route Army, there is also the gray military uniform of the New Fourth Army, but it is right to think about it, the New Fourth Army is also the armed force of the GCD, and the national government can't control it, and it can't manage it.
In addition to the men, Mei Youlan also unexpectedly found that there were many female soldiers here, who were also wearing military uniforms and leggings, but they had few weapons on their bodies. There is nothing strange about Mei Youlan's attire, there are many outsiders here, many of whom are foreigners, and their clothes are even stranger.
There was a loud cheer from the side, Mei Youlan turned her head, and saw that there were many people around, it seemed to be a basketball court, Ji Dengke explained, it was a basketball court, and it might be a game.
"There's still a game here." Mei Youlan was a little surprised and a little curious, and turned around and walked over there.
Ji Dengke did not stop him, after the three forks in the road, he began to understand Mei Youlan's brutality, she was interested in everything, in order to see the Taihang Canal, she climbed halfway up the mountain; ran to the cliff to see the telephone line of the flying frame, went to the village to attend the wedding, and drank the local wine brewed in Taihang Mountain with the host; On the way, she also ran to chat with a few members of the Women's Rescue Society who were delivering military shoes and uniforms, and the camera was clicking everywhere, and no one could persuade them.
When she arrived outside the court, Mei Youlan drilled into the crowd without any scruples, and the soldiers next to her immediately dodged away as soon as they saw her dress, allowing her to drill into it smoothly. Standing on the side of the court, looking around, there was a row of tables on the front of the court, which was the kind of school desk, without any decoration, and there were several soldiers who were obviously high-ranking officers sitting in the back, and the person in the middle caught Mei Youlan's attention. Why? The man's attire was markedly different from the others, he wore neither the khaki uniform of the Eighth Route Army nor the gray uniform of the New Fourth Army, but a black jacket with a pair of riding boots on his feet.
"Who is this man?" Mei Youlan asked in a low voice, no one answered, she turned her head to look, there were a pair of puzzled eyes around her, she immediately understood, this is the place of the Eighth Route Army, and it is strange that a stranger like her does not arouse suspicion.
Thinking about this, she didn't care, touched the soldier next to her, and then asked, "Who is that jacket?" ”
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army did not answer, but their eyes changed from doubts to vigilance, and at this time there was a round of applause from around, Mei Youlan turned her head to look, but it was a goal in gray uniforms, and the team members were high-fived each other. The yellow uniform quickly launched a counterattack, transported to the front in three or two, and after the last pass, quickly cut into the basket, and the hook hand layup was successful, and there was a louder cheer at this time.
Mei Youlan excitedly grabbed the camera and began to take pictures, she had no habit of being a guest at all, constantly interfering with the soldiers next to her, but her move made the soldiers understand that this might be another reporter who entered the base.
The Taihang Mountains are by no means a closed area, there are not many reporters who come here, but they are not nothing, including many foreigners, such as Smedley, Hans, Strong, etc., have been to the Taihang Mountains, and newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and "Frontline" have also sent people, so these Eighth Route Army have seen the "world" and are no strangers to reporters.
Of course, Mei Youlan's actions did not hide from the senior generals behind the rostrum, but they didn't care, but the guards next to her were wary of her, after all, there were senior cadres of the party and the army who participated in today's activities.
Ji Dengke easily found Mei Youlan in the crowd, and a polite-looking soldier was stopping Mei Youlan, and the communication between the two seemed to be going well.
"Reporter Mei, Section Chief Lu, you know each other." Ji Dengko's face showed a look of surprise.
"When we first met, he was worried that I would assassinate him." Mei Youlan was not polite at all.
Section Chief Lu's expression was stunned, he didn't expect that his intentions were completely detected, this is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Section Chief Lu said in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Reporter Mei said that it was funny, if you were an assassin, it would be impossible for you to go to Matian." ”
Ji Dengke smiled secretly in his heart, Section Chief Lu obviously didn't tell the truth, you are engaged in security work, and you are responsible for the defense of the Matian area, how can it be by chance that you appear here.
"Let me introduce it to you, this is Mei Youlan, a reporter from Chongqing, and this is the section chief of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters." Ji Dengke did not introduce the specific section chief Lu from, and simply brought it over.
Section Chief Lu looked suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly stretched out his hands: "I heard that you were coming, I thought there were two more days, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." ”
"You're so polite." Mei Youlan is a human spirit, and she doesn't know what Section Chief Lu means, but she doesn't want to debunk anything, as a reporter, the first thing is to get the interview results, not to expose the other party's small actions, so that he can't get off the stage, let alone make any will struggle.
"Do you play basketball a lot here?" Mei Youlan quickly turned the topic away, looking at the lively atmosphere on the field, at this moment, she found that the suspicious eyes around her disappeared, replaced by good-natured curiosity.
"There are very few formal competitions like this, and the comrades are very heavy on work and study." After all, Section Chief Lu is from the headquarters, unlike Ji Dengke, who came from below, and he doesn't know much about the situation.
"In the official competition, my luck is good," Mei Youlan did not hide her excitement: "That's right? ”
Section Chief Lu saw the helpless look on Ji Dengke's face, and roughly understood Mei Youlan's character, he has been engaged in security for a long time and has been in contact with all kinds of characters, so he has grasped Mei Youlan's character characteristics so keenly and quickly.
"It's the teaching team of the New Fourth Army." Chief Lu's answer was also very simple.
"The one in the jacket...?"
"That's Commander Ye Ting." Section Chief Lu glanced at Ji Dengke, and then politely said to Mei Youlan: "Reporter Mei, take your time, I'll go for a while." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Mei Youlan to stay, she turned around and left, Mei Youlan looked at his back in surprise, and said to herself: "Why are you running so fast, it seems that I am some kind of demon and monster." ”
Ji Dengke said in his heart, auntie, you are not abrasive enough, to be entangled by you, it is really annoying, yes, I better hand you over to the place where you should go as soon as possible.
"Reporter Mei, let's go to the reception desk of the headquarters first, inform them as soon as possible, and they can arrange your accommodation." Ji Dengke's tone was very gentle, and he looked like he was thinking about Mei Youlan.
Mei Youlan didn't think much about it, she frowned slightly, her eyes stared at Ye Ting and several leading cadres around him, Ji Dengke secretly screamed in her heart, is she going to interview the leader now, this is not good.
"Reporter Mei, Captain Ye and they are stationed here, they won't be able to leave for a while, if you don't go to the reception now, it is likely that the room will be in the room later, if you have, I'm afraid there will be no bath water." These days, Ji Dengke knows some of Mei Youlan's habits, she must take a bath every day, even if she carries two buckets of water to wipe it, she also wipes it with two buckets of water, and she has to do cleaning, and she is not used to sleeping on the kang, and she will never choose the kang if she has a bed.
Sure enough, Mei Youlan put away her camera, turned to Ji Dengke and said, "Where is the reception department?" ”
Section Chief Lu returned to the rostrum, and Zuo Quan, who was sitting next to Ye Ting, asked, "Old Lu, who is that?" ”
"The chief of staff is a reporter from Chongqing, named Mei Youlan." Section Chief Lu replied.
Zuo Q nodded slightly, the central government had already forwarded Chongqing's telegram, introducing Mei Youlan's situation, and the central government also specially called and asked them to give Mei Youlan the right to interview with him as a full power. This addition surprised Peng Dhuai and Zuo Quan, because this had never been done before, which shows that the central government attaches great importance to this Mei Youlan.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ting turned his head and asked Zuo Quan, the New Fourth Army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army in Jizhong for two months, suffered great losses, and was forced to retreat to Taihang Mountain, and has not yet recovered: "Who is that female reporter?" ”
"Mei Youlan, a reporter from the Chongqing Yuzhou Evening News." Zuo Quan replied that after the New Fourth Army retreated into Taihang Mountain, the pressure on Taihang Mountain was even greater, and the pressure on ammunition, medicine, and troop resources was very great, and in order to restore the vitality of the New Fourth Army as soon as possible, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did its best to meet the requirements of the New Fourth Army, and even compressed the requirements of various departments of the Eighth Route Army, which aroused the resentment of many officers and men of the Eighth Route Army.
"Reporter of the Yuzhou Evening News." Ye Ting's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't understand a little, Yuzhou Evening News is not a big newspaper, a local tabloid, can also come here?
"You underestimate this Mei Youlan," Zuo Quan noticed Ye Ting's puzzlement, so he explained: "This person's background is terrible, her grandfather is the leader of overseas Chinese in the United States, the Mei family and the Song family are world friends, Song Meiling is her aunt, in addition, she also has a big brother, who is the current commander of the Jiangbei Theater, my old classmate, Zhuang Jihua, her brother is called Mei Yuntian, is the general manager of the Sichuan Development Bank, and controls half of the financial country in the southwest. ”
