Chapter 803 Anti-Japanese Mountain

From the foot of Yushan Mountain to the Jiagu Mountain at the junction of Sulu Province in the west of Ganyu, the distance is not too far, only seventy or eighty miles. Liu Yimin led the troops to drive on horseback and arrived at Ma'anshan at the southern end of Jiagu Mountain at noon.

When I got off the horse, I saw that the mountain was not high, remote and desolate. Bowen, who was accompanying him, gasped, and the division commander chose to choose here, so he muttered: "Teacher, this place is too deserted, right?" ”

Liu Yimin also felt desolate in his heart, far inferior to the scenery of Chen Yaoguang's cemetery in the Yang Wanshou Palace of Mengshan Mountain, but thinking about the prestige of the anti-Japanese mountain in later generations, he said: "The mountain is not high, and there are immortals; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. This Ma'anshan is now desolate and remote, and will be famous all over the world in the future because our martyrs are buried here. This is it, let's start exploring! ”

Liu Yimin held Jingjing's body along the mountain path all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, looking around, only to see the Jiagu Mountain behind him undulating, majestic, in front of the flat and fertile fields, hills and valleys, rivers and lakes everywhere, only then did he feel the extraordinaryness of Ma'anshan.

Thinking about the place where the anti-Japanese mountain was personally surveyed and selected by Fu Zhuting in history, and he was buried here after his sacrifice, Liu Yimin had an indescribable feeling in his heart, feeling that people's fate may or may not be changed. Like Huang Su, so outstanding and excellent, he thought that he had changed his fate, but who knew that he was sacrificed in the Feibei Mountains in the end, but the time, place and history of the sacrifice were different. This Fu Zhuting is now serving as the political commissar of the Sixth Brigade and the political commissar and brigade commander of the New Sixth Brigade, insisting on the War of Resistance against the Hebei and Shandong Borders, and he has a squad of special forces selected by himself as his guard, as long as he is not allowed to come to this Ganyu in the future, he should be able to change the fate of history.

At this time, Bowen also felt that this place was good, sitting in the north and facing south, the terrain and scenery were good, and he secretly praised Liu Yimin's vision in his heart, so he said: "Commander, when I look at the mountain, I feel very good." Hurry up and set up a place so that the sappers can hurry up the construction. ”

Liu Yimin looked at the topography, and said to Bao Wen: "This Ma'anshan will be renamed Anti-Japanese Mountain in the future, and I will write the name of the Anti-Japanese Mountain for a while, and during the construction in the future, the stone archway will be established at the foot of the mountain, and the name of the Anti-Japanese Mountain will be engraved on the stone archway." The overall layout I will tell you to remember. ”

Bowen held the book and pen in his hand, quickly sat down on the spot, put the notebook on his knees, and listened attentively to what Liu Yimin said.

Liu Yimin put Jingjing's body on the stretcher erected by the soldiers, straightened up, looked around again, and then said: "We want to build the Anti-Japanese Mountain into a solemn and solemn anti-Japanese martyrs' cemetery for future generations to pay homage to forever." Therefore, the cemetery should be planned high. The first is to build a water surface, verandah and memorial square at the foot of the mountain with reference to garden art, integrating memorial, tourism and leisure. On the memorial square, it is necessary to set up a memorial hall for the martyrs of the Eighth Route Army, the momentum should be magnificent, the scale should be advanced, and the previous battles of our army since the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the north should be made into a sand table for exhibition, and the names, places of origin, unit numbers, time and place of sacrifice of the martyrs of the whole division should be engraved and exhibited one by one, and famous martyrs should open up a special memorial room to display their life deeds, relics, and writings, such as Li Chengyi, Li Donghai, Guo Zheng, Chen Yaoguang, and other leaders and famous combat heroes, all of which should be commemorated in special rooms and editions. Huang Su, Li Yimo, and Jingjing want to build a separate memorial hall for future generations to visit and pay respects. The second is to build the main road of the cemetery from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, all of which are paved with stone steps, and the memorial tower of the anti-Japanese martyrs of the Eighth Route Army instructor is established on the top of the mountain, and the statue of the soldier of the Eighth Route Army is held with a flag in one hand and a gun in the other hand at the top of the tower, showing the image of our army standing on the top of the sky and the earth, and the heroic and awe-inspiring image. The front of the tower body is inscribed by me to the number of anti-Japanese martyrs memorial tower, the pedestal is engraved with the relief of the martyrs of the major battles of our army's anti-Japanese war, and the other sides of the tower body are engraved with the inscription of the chairman, vice chairman Zhou, commander-in-chief and other leaders and the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate, the Shandong Provincial Military Region, the instructor and the head of Liu and Luo. On the day of the completion of the memorial tower, the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate, the Shandong Provincial Military Region, the instructor division, the heads of the brigades, the administrative department and the representatives of the heroes and models held a public memorial meeting here, and at the same time commended the combat heroes who emerged in the previous battles since our army went north to resist Japan, awarded the title of heroes, and awarded commemorative medals. The medals and certificates awarded to the martyrs are kept in the memorial hall and are forever commemorated. The third is to distinguish the main road of memorial service, set up two burial areas in the east and west, build different slopes according to the mountain, and bury the martyrs in different areas. Each district has to build a separate memorial tower for the burial of different battle martyrs. Heroic collectives such as the Second Guard Company must be commemorated by a separate tower. Each martyr's tomb must have a tombstone engraved with the name, place of origin, number, time and place of sacrifice, and a brief description of the heroic deeds. In the future, the martyrs who died in the battles of our army in Shandong, northern Jiangsu, and northeastern Anhui must be transported back to the Anti-Japanese Mountain for burial, and the main leaders of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate and the Shandong Military Region go to the Anti-Japanese Mountain to preside over the public memorial every year on the Qingming Festival. ”

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, Bowen raised his head and said: "Division commander, according to your imagination, this anti-Japanese mountain will become rippling blue waves and majestic peaks, not only with birds singing and fragrant flowers, but also solemn as a holy place, and becoming a resting place for the heroic souls of our army's sacrificed soldiers." In the future, if I die, you must remember to transport me here for burial. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yimin slapped him, causing Bowen's face to become red, swollen and swollen.

Liu Yimin had a black face and scolded loudly: "What nonsense? If you dare to say nonsense, I will remove you from your post and send you back to the Shaanxi Central Party School to study, and you will never be allowed to go to the battlefield. You remember to Lao Tzu that fighting is not for sacrifice, but for victory. In the future, if you win, how many big and difficult things are waiting for you to do, how can you not cherish yourself and sacrifice lightly? Do you think that my tears have not dried yet, and you want me to die of sadness sooner? Live well, I'm still waiting to drink your wine, your son's wine, your grandson's wine! ”

When did Bowen be beaten, when did he think that Liu Yimin would beat his comrades-in-arms, he looked at Liu Yimin blankly, and it took a long time for him to cry out, crying and saying: "Division commander, I am sad for my comrades who sacrificed!" I feel so bad that I want to be with them! ”

Liu Yimin ignored him, and when he had cried enough, he took out two cigarettes, lit one himself, threw one to Bowen, smoked, and extinguished the cigarette butt, then led him to a gentle slope on the right hand, picked up the grass, looked at the soil color, and felt very satisfied.

After the order, Liu Yimin explained to Bao Wen that a hexagonal memorial pavilion was built on the front, and four pomegranate trees, four plum blossoms, four peach trees, four apricot trees, four pear trees, and four apple trees were planted around the pavilion, and a lotus pond was built on the front of the pavilion, and a tablet pavilion was built on the left side, and the monuments of the Shandong Bureau, Shandong Military Region, and Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate were placed; On the left side, a stele pavilion is built, and a monument is also placed, and the monument text written by Liu Yimin himself is engraved. In the pavilion, Jingjing is placed to read and write a sitting statue, which is carved with Donghai County crystal. The back of the statue is engraved with the words "Women are wonderful, and they are eternal." Liu Yimin, the instructor and teacher of the Eighth Route Army, commemorated the words. Behind the memorial pavilion is the mausoleum, round, the top of the mountain is made into a water lily shape, and the water lilies are planted all over. The tomb road and the burial chamber are all arched with blue bricks or stone coupons, and the main hall hangs the portrait of Jingjing, and the portrait is carved into a cluster of white water lilies with crystal, symbolizing eternal enjoyment. The burial chamber where the coffin is placed depends on the situation, and if it is not wet, it is directly placed on a platform. If it is wet, use four steel cables to pull the coffin up, resulting in a hanging coffin. Sixty-four pine trees were planted around the mausoleum according to the acupuncture points just pointed.

Considering the large amount of work, it will not be completed at all for a while, Liu Yimin confessed that he would concentrate on building a tomb and bury him tomorrow. Others are gradually built later.

Bao Wen listened to Liu Yimin's explanation in such detail, and the specifications of the mausoleum were so high, beyond his imagination, only then did he know the position of Jingjing in Liu Yimin's mind, so he suggested that he ask the division commander to find someone to paint a portrait of Jingjing as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be difficult to draw a real portrait as soon as people enter the ground.

Liu Yimin's requirements are indeed a bit high, but it is not impossible, like crystal, at this time there are crystal mines in the East China Sea, and the price is also very cheap, a silver dollar can buy a large piece, and it can't be sold in the war years, and it is natural to prevent little devils from grabbing it, and it is natural to buy a little bit and use it in the martyr's cemetery.

Bao Wen remembered Liu Yimin's plan clearly, there was a regiment of engineers, there were technicians who were good at design, and he quickly drew up a rough sketch, Liu Yimin was quite satisfied after reading it, so he asked Bao Wen to organize the troops to dig the tomb immediately, and at the same time asked the anti-Japanese regimes at all levels in Linshu, Juxian, and Ganyu to transport the purchased coffins to Ma'anshan, and they must be transported at night.

Liu Yimin calmed down, and set up a painting clip on the top of the mountain to paint a sitting statue of Jingjing reading and writing.

This opening painting, in front of him is the headquarters of the Hudi Catholic Church Division in Zhangqiu Zaoyuan before the capture of Jinan, Jingjing poured water for him and was criticized and shed tears, when he brushed Jingjing's hair, Jingjing looked at his kind of eyes flowing, like joy and disgust. At this thought, I couldn't help myself anymore, tears rolled out of the corners of my eyes, and I fluttered and dripped. After a while, when the mood recovered, the pen was flying, and in a few clicks, Jingjing outlined the appearance of reading and writing. After looking at it, I thought it was okay, so I drew it in detail. By the time Bowen came to Liu Yimin with a master who specialized in crystal carving, the portrait had been completed.

The old master took the sketch and looked at it for a while, and then said, "This comrade is a professional painter, right?" The woman in this painting is your lover, right? ”

Without waiting for him to say more, Bowen said in a deep voice: "Master, don't talk too much, don't talk nonsense. This is one of our heroes, take a good look and say what is difficult directly. ”

The old master was so frightened that his eyes looked at Liu Yimin's face, and after worrying for a while, he saw that the young soldier in front of him had a resolute face and couldn't see anything, so he said again: "I am good at reading paintings, so I can't help but ask." This painting not only depicts the perseverance and composure of the woman, but also draws the bookish atmosphere, and a trace of spring can be seen from the corners of the eyebrows and eyes. This woman is beautiful and very learned, and you can see the love and pity of the painter for this woman. The standard of this painting is too high, and the old man is afraid that the carving will not be good, and he will live up to such a good draft. ”

Liu Yimin was very lonely, and said lightly: "Sir, the woman in this painting is the woman lying on the stretcher." She is our comrade-in-arms, the most famous female talent in our Eighth Route Army, and it is not too much to say that she is a fairy in the sky. It's a pity that she died in the bombing of devils in order to protect her comrades. If you look at her face, you can see that my paintings are nowhere near as beautiful as hers. There is no hurry, you should first carefully ponder and think about what the fairy in myths and legends looks like, and then compare it with the drawing. You can also think of the appearance of a beautiful young girl with a spring when she misses her lover, the appearance of a female show when she opens the book and is beneficial, the appearance of a girl who has a crush on her sweetheart but cannot get it, and the appearance of a sweetheart hidden in a man's heart. When you think about it, you can do it again, and if you don't achieve it once, you must carve out the charm. As long as it is carved during the Qingming Festival next year. When you carve the statue and then engrave it on the back, you will know who she is, and you will be famous all over the world for carving her statue. ”

As soon as the old craftsman heard that he could be famous all over the world, his eyes showed brilliance, and he repeatedly said that he must have done his best to carve the statue, and then he followed Bowen to look at Jingjing's remains, and studied them for an hour, until Jingjing's remains were engraved into his mind, and then he packed up the sketches and went to work with his apprentices to make the water lily crystal carving in the main room of Jingjing's mausoleum.

Liu Yimin played like an old craftsman, and painted an oil painting of Jingjing wearing white short sleeves, black skirt, long flowing hair, and flirtatious eyebrows, and handed it to the sappers to make a frame and inlay it. The soldiers of the first regiment of sappers really did it, and they made frames out of wooden planks, and found glass from the stored supplies, and inlaid the portraits.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yimin set up a desk with a stone slab on the top of the mountain and climbed on it to write a memorial article called "Daughter of the Huai River".

At the beginning of the article, Liu Yimin wrote: "On the night of August 8, 1939, my Eighth Route Army instructor returned to the north to launch a campaign to break through the Longhai Road. In order to prevent us from returning north, the Japanese army mobilized a huge group of planes and 100,000 heavy troops, together with heavy artillery brigades, to flank us. Under the command of the division commander, the heroic Eighth Route Army braved the bombs and artillery fire of the Japanese army to annihilate the main force of the independent mixed 22nd Brigade defending Niushan Town to Hongzhuang in Donghai County, Longhai Road, and killed more than 3,500 people under Major General Mishan Milu, the commander of the brigade. Later, in order to cover the logistics convoy to the north, our army launched a blocking battle, and fought with the Japanese invaders in the area from Baitabu in the east, Hongzhuang in the west, Dasha River and Rose River in the south, and Longhai Road in the north. Our army adopted the tactics of resisting and retreating one after another to block the delayed Japanese army. For a time, the sky was a fierce battle between the fighters of the two sides, and the ground was a confrontation between the tanks of the two sides. Our army became more and more courageous, and the main force of the 35th Wing of the 6th Brigade of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was annihilated, with 3,700 corpses. In this campaign, our army annihilated more than 10,000 Japanese troops and achieved a brilliant victory in Niushan Town.

Victory is made of blood. In the battle of breaking through the Longhai Road, the soldiers of our army fought bloodily and fought to the death with the Japanese invaders, and heroic deeds of glory emerged. My dear comrades-in-arms, Comrade An Jingjing, the instructor of the Red Seventh Army Corps, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, the banner of the press and propaganda front of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Democratic Special Zone and the Shandong Anti-Japanese Base Area, the loyal members, the outstanding female cadres of our Party and our army, the model of Chinese women, and the model of intellectuals, fell under the enemy's artillery fire just to cover their comrades-in-arms. The blue blood stains the Huaihai, and the heart of Dan writes sweat and green. The ancient land of Huaihai has witnessed the loyalty and immortal achievements of a female warrior who fought for national liberation and national independence. ”

Next, Liu Yimin recalled Jingjing's struggle since joining the Red Army, and portrayed the glorious image of a beautiful talented woman who devoted herself to the War of Resistance and sacrificed her life for the country.

At the end of the article, Liu Yimin wrote affectionately: "I know that for the sake of national independence and national liberation, how many outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation died on the battlefield. In the future, there will be countless martyrs who bravely go to the national disaster and write the unyielding chapter of the Chinese nation with their own blood and lives. Jingjing is just one of them, a representative of them. I have had the privilege of meeting her and working with her for a long time, becoming a comrade-in-arms, a comrade, and a relative, and this love will never end. In the future, I will spur myself on with the spirit of martyrs and work together with my comrades-in-arms to defeat the aggressors and establish a new China! ”

That night, Luo Ronghuan rushed to Ma'anshan and joined Liu Yimin.

I haven't seen him for a long time, I should have saluted, hugged, and rejoiced, but due to the heavy casualties in the battle of breaking through Longhai Road, Jingjing's body was placed next to Liu Yimin again, two people, you look at me, I look at you, opened your mouth a few times, but did not speak.

Luo Ronghuan accompanied Luo Ronghuan to Ma'anshan, in addition to the leaders of the Shandong Bureau, the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate, the division headquarters in Dadian, and the comrades of Shandong Daily, there were also Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman, who found Jingjing and Huang Wei leaving the team at dawn and returning to look for them.

Seeing Jingjing's remains, Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman and the reporters of the newspaper couldn't stop crying. Their crying caused the soldiers of the 1st Engineer Regiment and the Engineer Brigade and other units of the Engineer Brigade and the Baggage Brigade who rushed to reinforce the construction all crying, which made Liu Yimin feel sad, and scolded them for not being allowed to cry, and they had the strength to fight the devil to take revenge, what kind of crying!

After Tang Xingying and Zhao Xiaoman stopped crying, they started to wash Jingjing's body again, put on new underwear and women's leather shoes, tidy up her remains, and put her in the funeral.

After all this, Tang Xingying came to review Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, saying that she was careless, and it was night, so she didn't find that Jingjing and Huang Wei left the team without permission. When Tianming found out, he hurried back to look for it, but unfortunately it was too late.

The flames of war were one after another, and the Japanese aircraft group was so rampant, Tang Xingying was not in a panic at the critical juncture, and decisively decided to divert the enemy planes and cover the baggage convoy of the second company, showing a very high quality. And also safely took the command out of the battlefield. Strictly speaking, she made a meritorious service. The review is just self-blame, and Jingjing's sacrifice has nothing to do with her. How can there be no sacrifice in war? If you are afraid of death, where can there be victory? Therefore, Liu Yimin praised Tang Xingying and spoke highly of her decision at that time, saying that she already had the quality of a combat commander and had made significant progress.
