Chapter 85 Xu Yushan's Family (6)
Lao Wu said: "What are you afraid of, just use it when you learn it!" I saw it, the little devil is not three-headed and six-armed, but also a bunch of meat on the bone shelf, what is so scary. "After that, he showed great bravery in every battle.
When he graduated, the school wanted to leave the fifth brother to work in the school, and the fourth brother was reluctant to part with the fifth brother, and in the end, the school left both brothers behind.
Lao Wu participated in the spark propaganda team, he is very good at acting in shows, can sing many songs, and is very suitable for propaganda work. The fourth child also worked as an officer in the school's democracy movement section.
In March 1941, the organization transferred Yuzhen to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Independent Regiment as a propaganda officer.
On September 27, 1942, the Devil's Iron Wall Closure began. The fourth child was very worried about the fifth child, and always felt that he was still a child, and after the anti-sweep, the fourth child found the fifth child and asked him: "How did you fight?"
He said: "When the devil comes, he will beat him, and he will use the skills I have learned to beat the devil fiercely." ”
The fourth child asked him again: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
Yuzhen said: "You can't be afraid of death in the War of Resistance. In the anti-sweep, I also received an award. ”
In 1942, Xie Xinhe, commissioner of the Fourth Special Administration, opened up and expanded the base areas of the four sub-divisions in accordance with the instructions of his superiors, and cadres were needed. The fourth jade seal and the fifth jade treasure returned to the fourth division.
The fourth child first stayed in the enemy engineering section of the sub-district to do enemy and pseudo work, and later returned to his hometown and went to Boping District 3 as the district head, and the fifth old Yuzhen was assigned to the Qi Yu Brigade as a youth officer.
Yuzhen was far away, but he didn't have any emotions at all, and said happily when he accepted the task: "I have to have dinner in Qihe and Yucheng, and the situation is more familiar." I was angry with them in the past, and now I will definitely teach these bastards a good lesson and vent my anger to the common people. ”
Sure enough, he performed very well after he went, and in 1944, the Battle of Qi Yu under the personal command of Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Fourth Division, began, and the Qi Yu Brigade and the squadrons of each district were responsible for attacking the enemy regimental headquarters. Yuzhen was the first to rush into the enemy's regimental headquarters in the battle, and personally captured the enemy regimental commander, capturing a new box gun full of roasted blue.
Lao Wu happily ran to more than 20 miles to find the fourth brother Yuxi, let the fourth brother see the new box gun of the enemy regiment commander he captured, and told the fourth brother about the battle: "Small, he doesn't have three heads and six arms, except for being a little older than me, in fact, it's really nothing." I rushed in, and he was gesturing at me with a gun. Tell me to use the skills we have learned, dodge the bullets he fired at once, and then pounce on him at once, and put the gun on the door of his head at once......"
When the third Yubi heard the news of the fifth brother's meritorious service, she also specially found the fourth brother to come here to see the fifth. At this time, the third child had been transferred to the Boping County Brigade as the deputy captain. The three brothers met again, and the three of them stood together, all carrying boxes and guns, and about the same height, and they were very happy.
Others also said: "The three brothers of the Xu family have all grown up and can do great things." ”
Lao Wu Yuzhen took the hands of the third and fourth brothers and said, "It would be better if the eldest brother could be with us." ”
It's okay not to say this, just after saying this, the third brother Yubi's face suddenly changed, he took out the fifth brother's hand, turned his face and said very sadly: "I will never see the eldest brother again." ”
Only then did the third and fourth children understand that in the cruel war period, anything can happen, the eldest brother sacrificed, looking at the sad appearance of the third brother, there is no need to ask anything. They couldn't hold back their tears, and the tears flowed down their faces.
The third brother told the fourth and fifth children in a very deep voice about the situation after the eldest brother left:
Since the eldest brother followed the 129th Brigade of the 8th Division, he has been active in Guanxian and Guantao. In the spring of 1941, the eldest brother led the 24th Regiment to participate in the famous "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" at home and abroad.
In the autumn of 1941, the eldest brother participated in the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Provisional Senate as a representative of the new 8th Brigade, and stayed in the Party School of the Northern Bureau to study after the meeting, and unfortunately died heroically in a counter-sweeping battle in Shanxi in 1942.
The eldest brother was only 34 years old when he died, and he selflessly dedicated his life to the people. Due to the harsh environment, it was not until 1944 that the organization managed to convey the news of the eldest brother's sacrifice to the Party Committee of the Fourth Division and the third brother Yubi.
After listening to the third brother's narration, the brothers missed the eldest brother even more, and the eldest brother's voice and smile seemed to appear in front of them, it was the eldest brother who guided the brothers to embark on the road of revolution, and it was the eldest brother who led him to fight devils.
The more the brothers missed their eldest brother, the more tears flowed uncontrollably.
After crying for a while, the third brother said, "Don't cry, the eldest brother died a glorious death!" We are all members of the Communist Party, we want to inherit the legacy of our eldest brother and avenge our eldest brother! ”
The fifth brother Yuzhen wiped his crying red eyes, and said to the eldest brother painfully and firmly: "Big brother, rest assured, now that my brothers have participated in the Eighth Route Army, I will complete your plan to kill the enemy for you!" If I don't kill a few more devils to avenge you, I won't be your good brother! ”
The three brothers encouraged each other for a while, and then the correspondent brought the meal, and the fourth brother persuaded the third and fifth brothers to eat. But everyone's hearts are so full, how can they eat it! Each person took two bites of indiscriminately, and that's it.
The fifth brother was far away from the third district, and the fourth and third brothers both persuaded the fifth brother to stay, but he refused to say anything, and he must return to the army overnight. The fourth brother and the third brother had to give him a ride together.
Walked a long way, a long way, the three brothers are still reluctant, during the war, people die every day, at this time, I really don't know if I can see it. "Take care, brother-" The third and fourth children still waved goodbye to the fifth child reluctantly.
The fifth brother waved his hand in the distance and said to the third and fourth brothers, "Take care of yourself, and I will come back when the battle is won." After speaking, the person is gradually fading away, slowly merging into the silent night.
The two elder brothers still looked at the figure of their brother until they could no longer see it, and they were still watching......
Less than a month after the fifth brother left, one day, a comrade from Qi Yu's underground intelligence station sent a letter to the fourth brother saying that Yuzhen had died in a battle in Fan Zhuang, Huadian, Qihe. The body has been buried in Huadian, and the head of the army asked the fourth elder to go and count his relics.
Hearing this bad news, the fourth jade seal was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't stand for a while, and he couldn't help himself. I can't believe it, a month ago, he came to see me with a box gun, and when he left, he said: "Come back after winning the battle", how many days has it been, why did he die, he is still a child who has just grown up!
On the way to Huadian, Yuxi naively thought that this information was transmitted by mistake, it must be fake, and Yuzhen would not die.
Yuxi took the messenger to the area around the camp where the troops were stationed overnight, and met with the captain Fang Shaoyu and the political commissar Comrade Zhang Zhi'an. Zhang Zhi'an said to Yuxi with deep sorrow: "Yuzhen is a good comrade and an excellent Communist Party member. Yesterday, our troops and the enemy suddenly encountered, in order to cover the retreat of comrades, Comrade Yuzhen took the initiative to ask to bring a detachment to stay behind to block the enemy, and when the bullets ran out, he fought with the enemy with a bayonet, and finally died heroically. ”
Yuxi's tears could no longer be controlled, and he sobbed and said to Zhang Zhi'an: "Political commissar, let me go and see the fifth brother, I really miss him, let me take my brother home, he said that he won the battle and wanted to go back!" ”
The political commissar and the captain accepted Yuxi's request and persuaded: "Comrade Yuxi, don't be too sad, which of our victories was not bought by the martyrs with their blood and lives!" We must remember this hatred and make the enemy repay it twice in the future and avenge our martyrs! ”
Then he sent a few people to the cemetery led by the scouts of the brigade, picked up the coffin of the fifth brother, loaded the fifth brother on a stretcher, carried it on a stretcher, and sent it to his hometown Xuda Hutong.
While touching the quilt on Yuzhen's stretcher, Yuxi cried and said to the fifth brother: "Fifth brother, don't you want to ...... Go home, let's send you home, let's go home......"
Father Xu has been busy with the affairs of the public family for a while, and he also feels that it is time to go home to take a look, no matter how poor the family is, it is also a family. I didn't have a house, so I borrowed a big cart frame from someone else and simply built a shed in the yard to live in.
When his father heard the sound of talking in the courtyard, he came out of the shed, and he said to the fourth brother, "Yuxi is back, is your fifth brother back?" ”
Yuxi cried and said, "I'm back, I'm carrying it back......"
The father hurriedly came to the stretcher, lifted the quilt and saw that it was a dead man, so he cried loudly, crying and saying, "Little Wu, don't you even want your father?" The eldest child died and didn't even see a corpse, and the fifth child died and saw a corpse covered in blood. Little devil, I can't count the enmity between the Xu family and you......"
After the third brother Yubi heard the news of the fifth brother's sacrifice, he also rushed back from the Bossi area. Not long ago, the three brothers were still talking and laughing together, and they were still encouraging each other to kill a few more devils to avenge their eldest brother, but at this time, they were separated by yin and yang, and there were only two people left. The third brother persuaded the old father and said: "How many people have we died in order to resist the Japanese, the devils and traitors owe us too much blood debt, we must use their blood to repay!" ”
How to bury the fifth brother? The family is worried again, Xujia Hutong is a guerrilla area, both the enemy and us often haunt, buried outside for fear of being known by traitors, and it is not a long way to put it at home. Father Xu said: "Just put your fifth brother Qiu in the yard, I can be a companion for the two of you, I always feel that I still have a lot to say with Xiao Wu, and I can also nag with him......"
After the Xu family was swept away, there was nothing left, so they had to go to the neighbor's house to find some old bricks, and put the fifth brother mound in a corner of the courtyard.
After the arrangement was made, it was almost dawn, and the third and fourth children had to go back to the unit.
The two brothers said goodbye to their father and walked out of the village together, and when they parted, the third brother said to the fourth: "Fourth brother, I have heard from the second brother, who is now working in the trade bureau of the Eighth Route Army in Fan County. You write to him and tell him the news of the sacrifice of his eldest brother and fifth brother, and let him work hard to avenge the death of his eldest brother and brother. ”
