After the introduction, Xiaolu said: "In addition to towns, Foshan County is a farm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There is only one place related to the current situation, but I am a little hesitant to know whether I should take you to see it. ”

Shotano: "Why? ”

Xiaolu gathered everyone around and said, "There are many evils in the war. There are many subordinates in the Japanese army, and they are called comfort women. That's what we call so we don't sting them. We've caught some of them over the years, so we decided to free them. More than 3,000 were rescued in just one year. ”

The more hesitant the reporter, the more he has to watch.

Wang Li said: "They still have to get married and start a family in the future, which is why Lu Zhongjiang is very hesitant." If you see them and make them public, what will they do? ”

Potanoin: "But we still want to make sure. We are journalists. ”

Wang Li said: "From the perspective of a woman, I suggest that you don't take photos of their faces, don't use their real names when publishing articles, use code names when talking about their experiences, in short, don't let others guess their identities after reading the articles." ”

Xiao Lu bowed and said, "Thank you." ”

The group drove to the outskirts and entered a large village.

When they arrived in the village, the press corps felt different, because there were no men here, all of them were women.

When we arrived in the middle of the village, we entered a large courtyard, and everyone smelled a fragrance, which was very fragrant. Xiaolu jumped out of the car and said, "Ah, it's so fragrant, it's a good smoke." ”

An old lady in the house came out and said, "The commander-in-chief is here, is he here to promote production?" Or is it to check the quality? ”

Xiaolu said: "Aunt Liu, am I so unpopular? I can't come and see the big guys. Is Director Zhao here? ”

Aunt Liu: "Director Zhao, Director Zhao, the commander-in-chief is here." ”

Director Zhao is Zhao Yiman, who has been waiting here for a long time and took reporters to visit cigarette factories and other factories. The cigarettes are all rolled by hand, and the shredded tobacco is also cut by hand. The tobacco ferments well and has a very soft aroma. Coupled with natural flavors, it tastes even better.

Everyone also asked the reporters to try it, and a few smokers immediately took out the money to buy it, some of them brought it to their friends, and everyone in the cigarette factory gave a pack, and everyone's atmosphere became lively all of a sudden.

The trail was a little trance-like, and I felt like a future tour guide, fooling tourists into buying things they didn't need. This is still conscientious. If you have no conscience, in addition to asking you to buy things, you also have to cheat money.

Fan Changjiang said: "Commander Lu, what are you laughing at?" ”

Xiao Lu: "I'll take you to a few more factories and earn all your money." That's enough to buy two guns. ”

Fan Changjiang said: "I don't have much money, I want to earn, you earn foreigners' money." Commander Lu, I heard that you are looking for Yan'an Oilfield? ”

Xiaolu: "Let the past pass." Didn't Yan'an Oilfield start oil refining? I've heard that there are several kinds of products. ”

Fan Changjiang said: "Yes, it is very profitable. I heard that you have a weapons factory here? ”

Xiaolu: "I can show them some factories, and some can't." Mr. Fan, you are Chinese, please cooperate. ”

After a while, the group began to interview the comfort women. Talking about the current life, everyone is very willing to say, and when it comes to the past, everyone's faces immediately sink down, and several women even cry.

The interview lasted for an afternoon, and in the evening, everyone had dinner at the cigarette factory. Zhao Yiman gave everyone a meal ticket and a cloth bag, which contained a rice bowl, a spoon, a pair of chopsticks, and a towel.

The reporters were very curious, this place is really the same as the officers and soldiers, but it is different from Yan'an. Seeing Zhao Yiman, Xiao Lu and others took out their meal tickets to buy meals, Xiao Lu's own meal tickets were insufficient, and they exchanged money for meal tickets, etc., everyone, regardless of officers and soldiers, ate together. In Yan'an, everyone eats in the canteen, and there are no meal tickets or meal tickets.

In the evening, everyone returned to Foshan County to watch the two turn. The two-person troupe is local to Yichun, and has become a local troupe, with traditional two-person turns, as well as anti-Japanese two-person turns, performing in various villages and cities in the base area, and has already performed once in Foshan, Zhang Quanfu discussed with them to stay for one more day.

The next day, everyone got up early and went to Yichun. Xiaolu sat in the truck bed with the reporters, and on the contrary, Zhao Yiman and Smedley, two ladies who were not in good health, sat in the cab. Today, the snow on the mountains has largely melted away, and the road runs along the river.

The river rose very high and the water was very strong. After walking a short distance, I saw the hydropower station, the upstream water surface of the hydropower station is wide, and the ice has melted away.

Mrs. Snow wanted to stop and take a look. Then look, park, visit, take pictures.

The equipment is all Soviet? No, I saw it, the generator was made in the United States.

This power plant that the USSR helped you build? Repair it yourself, the engineer was invited from Harbin to Belarus. This project is our pride and is a great benefit.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived in Yichun. The reporters were so excited that after they settled down, they immediately asked to visit.

Can you let us visit freely?

Wherever do you want to go? Both.

Next, factories, schools, even airfields were looked.

We still want to see. What to see? Can the military-industrial department watch it? OK. Gun repair shops, Japanese weapons can be repaired, Soviet weapons can be repaired. Aircraft factories, of course, made planes better than those of the Wright brothers.

There are a few reporters who like to watch the government very much, are very interested in the three-three system, and keep asking questions. An American reporter did not believe that the government was elected, and was rejected by a common man: "In the whole of Yichun, whoever you want to be elected, you can elect whomever you want." If you're good to me, I'll choose you. ”

After reading it, Epstein commented: "The Yichun base is really a pure land. ”

Two days later, several Americans came up and wanted to go to the army to have a look.

Okay, let's go to the Jinshantun military camp and have a look.

Get in the car and go to the barracks.

This time Xiaolu did not accompany them.

Xiaolu has been very busy these days, mobilizing troops, personnel, materials, and opening up a base area in South Hung Yen Province.

He also asked the people stationed in the Soviet Union to buy a large amount of cotton and other industrial raw materials from Central Asia and other places, even if they spent all the money.

In addition, he was urging the transport of weapons to the south. Now, the weapons are ready to go.

Two days later, the reporters returned.

How, how does it feel?

Unexpectedly, your army is very regular, the weapons are very good, and the training is very regular. The combat power is very strong.

Didn't expect our army to be so strong? Our equipment is not good, and every time we fight, we have to kill a lot of people. Have you seen the Jinshantun Martyrs Cemetery?

Looked.

That time, a force was almost gone.

Yes, we see, large cemeteries.

We saw troops, tank troops, and special forces.

These units also need to be trained. There are not enough tanks, there are not enough guns, there are not enough shells.

Reuters reporter Wu Dao and American Catholic magazine reporter Xia Nanhan took out a list and wanted to go to several places.

Xiao Lu said: "He is worthy of being the uncrowned king, and he can hear anything." Want to go to all these places? ”

Martial Arts: "I also want to provide aspects. ”

Xiaolu said: "Japanese farms, prisoner of war camps, Korean villages, prisons, Puyi, yes." Do you want to go together, or do you want to see for yourself? I've heard that somebody is going to do an interview with a character, right? ”

The reporters felt that these places were important, so they decided to go together.

1, because of the blockade, Yan'an is very poor, and it would be good to be full. There's a story. In May 1938, Colonel Carlson, counselor of the U.S. Embassy in China, invited Ma Haide, a foreign doctor, to visit the pavilion in Yan'an. Many acquaintances on the road greeted him, and he invited them to dinner, and Carlson later recalled that "he used my hospitality so generously to make me laugh, and he knew I was not in a hurry." As we walked to the restaurant, we were followed by a dozen young men and women, laughing and laughing, completely immersed in the joy of the dinner. ”
