The third part of the Bloody and Fire War of Resistance, the ninth chapter of the rush, the third section of the Taihang line

Mei Youlan was awakened in her dream by the sound of talking in the yard, she opened her eyes, and the sunlight had already spilled through the window onto the kang. Mei Youlan looked at the time and was startled, it was already past nine o'clock, and she secretly blamed herself in her heart, how could it be so late. Although she is still not used to sleeping on the kang, this earthen kang is already the most comfortable bed she has slept in in the past few days, and she has slept unconsciously.

Through the window, in addition to the landlady and Captain Zhou, there were also Zeng Peiqin and two other soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, who seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions were very warm.

"You're awake." The landlady heard the movement inside in the outhouse, opened the curtain, and saw Mei Youlan sitting on the kang and dressing, so she walked in. Mei Youlan hummed softly, and then asked who was outside.

"It's a comrade from the military sub-district, who arrived last night." The landlord's daughter was very diligent, folded the quilt neatly, put it in the cabinet next to it, and then set the small table on the kang.

After doing all this, she turned around and went out, bringing a bowl of porridge and two yellow-orange-orange nests, seeing these things, Mei Youlan sighed in her heart, these things were so ordinary in her eyes, and even a little disdainful, but now she knew that in Taihang Mountain, these things belong to high-end food, and they are only taken out by entertaining guests or even distinguished guests.

Mei Youlan put on her shoes and stood on the ground tentatively, not to mention, the captain's injury medicine is really good, and after a night, I feel much better.

"Get up."

Mei Youlan looked up and saw that it was Zeng Peiqin, and behind her was the person wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, she smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I overslept." ”

"I was just like you when I first came," Zeng Peiqin walked over and sat on the kang, and then introduced the one behind him who was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army: "This is Comrade Ji Dengke sent by the military subdivision to pick you up." ”

"Hello, Reporter Mei." Ji Dengke stretched out his hand to Mei Youlan, Ji Dengke joined the Eighth Route Army after the Anti-Japanese War, fought bravely, made several great achievements, and read for a few years, so he was promoted very quickly, and in a few years, he was promoted to the division as the head of the investigation section.

"Comrade Ji, hello." Mei Youlan didn't expect that they had just gotten up, and they came in, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but this unhappiness was quickly left behind.

Zeng Peiqin's eyes rolled, she was a Shanghai girl, so she naturally knew some taboo things for women. She smiled secretly in her heart, when she first arrived in Taihang Mountain, she was not suitable for these, and she was criticized by everyone at the organizational life meeting, and she slowly got used to it.

Mei Youlan is still not used to being in front of so many people, Zeng Peiqin saw that her face was getting worse and worse, and the things on the table did not move at all, so she stood up and beckoned everyone to leave, Section Chief Ji was still a little puzzled, it can be seen that Zeng Peiqin made a strong look before following her to the courtyard.

After they went out, Mei Youlan quickly took out a toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, mirror, and comb from her bag, and quickly cleaned herself up. Fortunately, her hair is not long, just shoulder-length, and it is easy to comb.

"Alas, these capitalist ladies are really difficult to serve." Captain Zhou looked at Mei Youlan, who was brushing her teeth, and sighed with emotion: "Sometimes, she is very bold and not afraid of anything, but sometimes, she is in trouble, and she is in trouble." ”

"You don't blame her for yesterday's encounter." Zeng Peiqin asked with a smile.

"That's not it, in fact, when she saved the villagers, she was still very brave." Captain Zhou shook his head and said, in fact, before Mei Youlan urged, he was thinking about how to save the villagers, as for the target of the foot exposure, it was an accident, and no one could have expected it.

"The leaders of the headquarters attach great importance to her, and ask us to send special personnel to cooperate with her interview, and ask not to set up any obstacles." Ji Dengke said that this is a very lenient treatment, and no journalist has been treated in this way before, including some foreign journalists. There are no obstacles, which means that except for the special secret departments, such as the enemy engineering department, the telecommunications system, others, including the military industry, Mei Youlan can go. Even, if she wants to observe a battle, she can stay by Peng Dhuai's side.

However, this news is not too exciting for Zeng Peiqin and Captain Zhou, since they knew Mei Youlan's background last night, both of them knew that their superiors attached great importance to Mei Youlan's interview.

"I'll tell you the news, the devils in the neighborhood may have to retreat." Ji Dengke saw that he couldn't impress the two, so he threw out a top-secret news, sure enough, Zeng Peiqin and Captain Zhou were very interested, and Ji Dengke smiled proudly: "The information from the headquarters, we have verified, the devils in the surrounding counties are secretly searching, many strongholds have to give up, even the county town has to give up, it is said that the central government is planning a big move." ”

"Big move?" Zeng Peiqin has some gossip, but unfortunately Ji Dengke doesn't know, he only knows that there is a big move, and he doesn't know what it is.

"I guess it's a counteroffensive," Captain Zhou said with certainty: "Now we should concentrate our troops, launch an offensive against the devils, seize the opportunity to expand the base area, attack southern Jin and southern Hebei, and seize both sides of the Pinghan line." ”

"Yes, we should fight out of Taihang Mountain," Zeng Peiqin was full of interest and geared up: "The opportunity is rare, the strategic counteroffensive stage mentioned by Chairman M has arrived, I think that the reason why the superiors asked us to expand the main force is this, we will definitely counterattack." ”

As she was talking, Mei Youlan had already freshened up, had breakfast, and came to the yard, the three of them hurriedly went over, Captain Zhou looked at her walking, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the recovery is good, and it will be all fine in a day or two." ”

"Reporter Mei, I forgot to say just now, I was ordered to pick you up, and I will send you to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army." Ji Dengko said.

"Thank you so much," Mei Youlan twisted her feet, feeling that she was still a little weak, and limped two steps, everyone hurriedly stepped forward, Zeng Peiqin helped her sit down, the landlady brought some sour dates with a dustpan and put them in front of them, and the landlord's daughter was busy in the house, and sent a pot of water in a while.

"Auntie, don't be busy," Zeng Peiqin hurriedly shouted when she saw that Auntie was going to the kitchen again. Mei Youlan looked around, and when she saw the big red paper pasted on the door frame, she asked "Model of Supporting the Army".

"The eldest mother is our model for supporting the army, she is a martyr and a military family, her three sons are all in the army, the eldest died the year before last, and her wife also died when she supported the front last year." Ji Dengko's tone was a little heavy.

"We have a lot of husbands and sons like her here." Zeng Peiqin stood up as she spoke, pulled the eldest lady over, and the eldest mother smiled: "You talk, I'm going to the field, this god, it hasn't rained for three days." ”

Saying that, she broke free from Zeng Peiqin, went out with a bucket, Mei Youlan looked at her back, and sighed lowly: "Henan drought, what about you here?" ”

"In the entire base area, some areas were affected, but other places were fine." Zeng Peiqin works in the local area and knows a lot: "We dug a canal in the mountains last spring, so the loss is much smaller. ”

"Aqueduct?" Mei Youlan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that in such a complex and tense war, GCD actually led the villagers of Taihang Mountain to build a canal: "How long?" Is it here? ”

Seeing Mei Youlan's eagerness to go and see, Zeng Peiqin couldn't help laughing, Captain Zhou shook his head lightly, and Section Chief Ji smiled: "Don't worry, we have time, let me tell you, the main force has rushed over today, and will counterattack the devils who entered the base area yesterday." ”

"Oh," Mei Youlan almost wanted to stand up, but then sat down and patted her leg hatefully, feeling regret in her heart. Zeng Peiqin may be the most familiar with Mei Youlan here, when she first met her on the battlefield in Songhu, she was like this, and she was in a hurry.

"There are many opportunities like this, and there are battles almost every day in the base area, so if you miss it this time, you can go next time." Zeng Peiqin comforted her and said.

"We'll rest here for two more days, and when your feet are all right, we'll hit the road again." Ji Dengke lifted the large teapot and poured her a cup of tea, the way of making tea here is completely different from that in the south, the tea leaves are soaked directly in the kettle, and when you want to drink it, you pour it directly from it.

Mei Youlan thought about it, and felt that her feet were like this, and if she really wanted to move strongly, it would also be causing trouble to others, so it was better to rest here, so she nodded, and then took out a leather bag from her bag, and took out dozens of fiat coins and put them on the table.

"I don't know how to calculate the cost here, and I don't know if it's enough, Secretary Zeng, I can only trouble you."

"What are you doing, put it away." Zeng Peiqin was angry and funny, and hurriedly dissuaded her, but Ji Dengke and Captain Zhou were deeply surprised, they had also received reporters who came to interview before, but they had never seen anyone who took the initiative to give money.

Mei Youlan shook her head resolutely, and pressed her hand firmly on the money: "No, our newspaper has a rule that you are not allowed to accept gifts from others casually, and you are not allowed to accept banquets casually, so you have to give money no matter where you live, no matter where you eat, you have to give money, I am the president of the newspaper, and this rule cannot be broken from me." ”

Zeng Peiqin didn't expect Mei Youlan to say this, after thinking about it and nodding in acceptance, Captain Zhou smiled and said, "Reporter Mei, you usually do the same?" You've traveled so much from southwest to northwest, how much money do you have to carry? ”

Mei Youlan smiled slightly: "Generally, our reporter goes out, has a plan in advance, he reports the plan, and after the editor-in-chief approves it, he can go to the finance department to borrow money, and return the account as much as he uses, and make up for more and refund less." ”

"Then if there is an accident, what if the money is not available?" Captain Zhou drilled the tip of the bull's horns.

"It's easy to do, send a telegram back, and the company will send you another one, or borrow money from a local acquaintance." Mei Youlan briefly introduced the way the reporters of the newspaper went on business trips to report their accounts.

"Then you came to us, but there was no direct telegram to Chongqing." Ji Dengko jokingly said: "When the time comes, you will have to go hungry." ”

"I'll borrow it from you," Mei Youlan blinked and smiled: "After returning to Chongqing, I will return it to Hongyan Village, why don't you borrow it?" ”

"Haha." The three of them laughed, and Ji Dengke patted his thigh and said, "Of course borrow, there is no problem, you can borrow as much as you want." ”

"I want to know, what are you going to do with it? Are there any travel expenses? Mei Youlan also asked Zeng Peiqin curiously.

"No, no, we don't have as much money as you," Zeng Peiqin waved his hand and said: "Chiang Kai-shek's military spending for us is insufficient, and the supply system we are implementing now, that is, a few yuan per person per month for living expenses, but this is issued to individuals, but to units, and units use them uniformly; Clothing is also uniformly distributed, two sets per year, one set each in spring, summer, winter and autumn, like this to the countryside, is the village to send food, such as you live here, the village will give the eldest mother's family subsidies, according to the head of the person, live a few, give a few, there are relevant standards. ”

Mei Youlan bowed slightly, the hardships of the Eighth Route Army were still beyond her imagination, and the supply system meant that they didn't have much cash on them at all. The entire Eighth Route Army implemented this system, and no one was corrupt or bribed?

"If so, how do you monitor it? How to prevent corruption and bribery? Mei Youlan asked.

"Supervision depends on the masses, and the accounts must be made public every month," although Mei Youlan asked very tactfully, Zeng Peiqin still heard what she meant, so she explained: "GCD members are also human beings, and they also have private intentions; In this regard, we mainly carry out supervision through two ways, on the one hand, the masses, and on the other hand, the system; Chairman M said that the eyes of the masses are bright, and you must not hide from the eyes of the masses if you want to do something; Secondly, it is the system, we have a strict system, each company, each department, how much money is spent every month, must be announced, so that everyone knows that the money is used in those places. ”

"We have three disciplines and eight points of attention," Ji Dengke now understood, and Mei Youlan had already started the interview, so he immediately added: "Every soldier of the Eighth Route Army and every GCD member must engrave this discipline in his heart, and remind himself at any time in work and life." ”

"Every time we hold a party group meeting, we will pay attention to our lives, and any extravagance and waste in life will be criticized by everyone at the life meeting." Zeng Peiqin then added.

Mei Youlan listened to this, but remembered Zhuang Jihua's comment on the Blue Coat Society at the beginning, "The puritanical life cannot last. The development of the Blue Coat Society has finally proved the correctness of this statement, and she is eager to ask, how long can you continue this situation? Does it last until after the seizure of power?

"Why don't you believe it?" Zeng Peiqin thought that Mei Youlan didn't believe it, Mei Youlan shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I remembered what my eldest brother said, back then, I was very interested in the living regulations of the Blue Coat Society, thinking that if it was like this, there would be no more corrupt officials in China, but the eldest brother said that the puritanical life is impossible to sustain, and it will rebound as long as it is suppressed, just like a spring, the tighter the pressure, the higher the bounce." ”

"There is an essential difference between our GCD and the Blue Coat Society," among the three, Zeng Peiqin knows more about the Blue Coat Society movement, Ji Dengke and Captain Zhou basically have no understanding of the Blue Coat Society movement, and they have the impression that the Blue Coat Society is a spy group.

"The Blue Coat Society is fascist, the first rule of the people, and the implementation of foreign aggression and expansion, we GCD people are not, we take the liberation of all mankind as the highest ideal, in the pursuit of this ideal, we are willing to sacrifice everything we have." Zeng Peiqin's expression became solemn and serious: "Our party members have been selected and tested, and in the process of pursuing ideals, we always remind ourselves and be strict with ourselves." ”

Mei Youlan felt that this was quite empty, but it was difficult to refute, if Zhuang Jihua was there, he would disagree, but Mei Youlan didn't know, she had never seen it, hundreds of thousands of people maintained the supply system, even if it was the Blue Coat Society, it was only those core personnel at the top who implemented the living regulations.

Alas, the ranking has never gone up, and I am a little discouraged
