Chapter 34 Hokkien Yankees
It was the end of February, and the flax in the sand dunes in the east of Linhe County was still as cold as a knife, and the ice ridges under the eaves were longer than bayonets, and the roots were aimed at the ground, like a bayonet on the battlefield. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but on the wall inside the ice edge, there are corn and peppers that are common in Saibei, and the red and red are festive. At this time, the two blue charcoal stoves in the farmhouse were in full swing, and the flames were glowing with blue flames, constantly swaying above the stoves. Fu Zuoyi, deputy commander of the Eighth Theater and commander-in-chief of the North Route Army of the Second Theater, sat by the fire, and with him were officers of the 35th Army Corps and above. Unlike the apprehension before the battle, he was completely resolute at the moment when he lost the five plains.
"Standing Chairman Jun Jian: I have received a call to hold a meeting of commanders at and above the regimental level for serious discussions, and the generals unanimously believe that according to the current situation in the Suixi Hetao, we should not leave the army, the soldiers should not leave the soil, the soldiers will not leave the army, the soldiers will have the master, and the soldiers will not leave the soil and the soil can survive. In order to defend the territory, he did not hesitate to sacrifice any sacrifice and resolutely fought the Japanese invaders to the end. Fu Zuoyi, deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, was recalled. ”
After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Lu Yinglin looked at Fu Zuoyi and also at the officers present. After the loss of Wuyuan, Chang Kaishen called and proposed that Zhu Shaoliang, commander of the Eighth Theater, be sick and recuperate, and ordered Fu Zuoyi to go to Lanzhou to act as the commander of the Eighth Theater, and the troops under his command were withdrawn from the Yellow River to Ningxia. Fu Zuoyi didn't like this disposition, and the officers were also a little hesitant, and this telegram was determined.
"If you don't have any opinions, then I'll sign them immediately." Fu Zuoyi glanced around at the generals present, from Dong Qiwu of the 101st Division, he saw Sun Lanfeng of the new 31st Division, Yuan Qingrong of the new 32nd Division, and then saw Ma Bingren, commander of the Suiyuan Guerrilla Army, Xu Zizhen of the Fifth Garrison Brigade, Wang Zixiu of the New Sixth Brigade, and finally the heads of each regiment, Song Haichao, An Chunshan, Guo Jingyun, Yu Chuanyi, and Li Siwen......
"No comments!!" The officers spoke in unison, and the noise seemed to knock the house down.
"Good." Fu Zuoyi smiled and nodded, he felt that he had not lost to the Japanese, not only did he not lose, but everyone was more united than before.
"It is now announced that in order to strictly enforce military discipline, the Deputy Commander's Department of the Eighth Theater has decided that Ma Bingren, commander of the Suiyuan Guerrilla Army, who was ineffective in fighting in Baotou, and Liu Jingxin, commander of the 91st Regiment of the New 31st Division, who left the team without authorization, will go to the Military Justice Department to receive punishment on their own; The commander of the 7th Cavalry Division, who was ineffective in combat, sent a telegram requesting the Standing Chairman to revoke his post as division commander; Dong Qiwu, commander of the 101st Division, misjudged his command, causing additional casualties to the troops, and was suspended from his post and retained on duty. The other units temporarily returned to their garrisons to count the losses of equipment and ammunition among their personnel, stabilize the morale of the troops, and sum up lessons in order to prepare for a counteroffensive. The meeting is adjourned! ”
At the meeting, in addition to discussing where to stay, Ma Bingren also reviewed the gains and losses, Ma Bingren did not cut off the railway when packing the head, and he was responsible for the failure of the battle, but this responsibility was largely due to the fact that the battle was one day ahead of schedule, and the 7th Cavalry Division, which was originally scheduled to carry out the task, was late. Liu Jingxin is a personal problem, as well as Dong Qiwu's command mistakes on the battlefield. After the review, everyone is clear about what mistakes they made, and they have no opinion on the disposal. As soon as Lu Yinglin said that the meeting was dismissed, everyone got up and went out, and the meeting lasted all night, and it was bright outside.
"Commander! The commander ...... "The door was just opened here, and Lieutenant General Chen Bingqian pulled a foreigner over." This is the American journalist Bai Xiude, who has been covering the war zone and was deeply moved by the heroic killing of the enemy by the soldiers of the 35th Army.
"Oh." Seeing that it was a foreign reporter, Fu Zuoyi smiled, he knew that this foreign reporter had offered to interview him before, but the war was tense at that time, and he politely refused. Unexpectedly, this foreigner actually ran to the front line, and he couldn't pull it back. "Please sit down, please take a seat."
"General Fu is good." Bai Xiude was dressed in a homespun military uniform, and his face was full of scum, but his spirit was high.
"Hello Mr. Bai!" Fu Zuoyi shook hands with him, "Mr. Bai, don't get old and go to the front line, I will be scared as soon as you go." ”
"Don't dig Rui, don't dig Rui, I'm howling, everything is howling." Bai Xiude is half Chinese and half English, but fortunately, Liu Duren, who graduated from the English Department of Beijing Normal University, is translating on the side, otherwise Fu Zuoyi is afraid that he will not understand.
"You may be seated, please be seated. It's a pity that I don't have anything to entertain here. Fu Zuoyi said politely. Flaim is only a very small village in the Yellow River, but with twenty or thirty families, plus the loss of Wuyuan, he really has nothing to entertain Bai Xiude. "Why did you bring the foreigners, didn't you say that you want to send them back to Ningxia?" He asked Chen Bingqian reproachfully.
"No, it's not." Chen Bingqian saw that everyone was retreating, so he said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhong we are looking for is here with him." ”
"What?!" Fu Zuoyi almost forgot about the navy because of the urgency of the war, and Chen Bingqian remembered it as soon as he mentioned it. "Where's Mr. Zhong?" He asked uneasily, the Japanese plane opened fire when it saw people, for fear that Mr. Zhong would die.
"If nothing else, it should be in the military and political cadre school." Chen Bingqian said in a low voice. "He came with this Mr. Bai, because he searched for the radio, and the cadre school thought it was a spy and ......"
"Nonsense!" Fu Zuoyi flicked his sleeves angrily, "It's a spy, why don't you report it?!" ”
"The cadre school newspaper is coming, but, ......" Chen Bingqian really didn't know what to say, the cadre school Su Kaiyuan reported the matter very early, but when the headquarters saw the Japanese army attacking, how could they take a spy who didn't open his mouth seriously, and the matter was suppressed. Zhong Qiangong and others have been locked up in the cadre school, Wang Yiqin went to the front line because he was a doctor, of course Bai Xiude couldn't be closed, he heard that the Japanese army attacked Wuyuan and immediately went to the front line, and did not retreat to Yinchuan with the cadre school. He talked about this by chance, and because the translator Liu Duren was the nominal liaison of the navy, he knew that Zhong Qiangong, who came to Wuyuan to teach, was someone that Commander Fu was eager to find.
"Hey! Don't say anything, I'll go see him right away and apologize to him. Fu Zuoyi only slapped his thigh after hearing the reason, and he was going to Yinchuan immediately.
"How can the commander go to Yinchuan?" Fu Zuoyi was in a hurry, but Chen Bingqian didn't mess around. "It's still up to Mr. Liu to go to this matter, but I have to send a telegram to Su Kaiyuan immediately, asking him to release people, don't close them, and don't beat people."
"Yes, yes. This matter started because of me, and it is better for me to go. Liu Duren on the side also nodded, he didn't know what that Mr. Zhong was doing, but Commander Fu attached so much importance to it, he should have made a trip.
"Okay!" Thinking of the secrecy that the Navy had asked for, and then thinking of the Kuomintang and Communist personnel in the team. Fu Zuoyi sighed. "I can't just see Mr. Liu go, Liu Chunfang will also go, and if he goes, it means that I go. I think it's weird. "Liu Chunfang is the head of the cavalry regiment responsible for Fu Zuoyi's security guards, and his going is indeed equivalent to Fu Zuoyi's own going. Chen Bingqian smiled at this and did not object.

"I turned upside down and upside down, and stood on the bridge;
No matter how fierce the enemy artillery is, pay a smile;
I'm low and I'm high,
Shake and never fall,
Gallop through the enemy without hurting a single bit.
In the ocean, I never used a knife;
I carry the burden of a thousand pounds on one shoulder;
Do not cry out for injustice or beg for mercy,
I am willing to bend over affection,
Everyone calls me Hokkien ......"
Suiyuan Military and Political Cadre School in Shizuishan, Yinchuan, Chen Agui sang the naval song in Fujian while drying the quilt under the sun, and he was happy. Su Kaiyuan and others wanted to interrogate him, but the problem was that every time he was interrogated, he spoke Min Chinese, and no one could understand what he was saying.
"Fuck!" When he heard the singing, he woke up, and he slept in prison except for sleep. He thought that he would release himself after a few days, but he didn't expect that it would be more than a month after a pass, and his beard was almost a foot long.
"Don't be crazy, madmen are kind;
Mo Xiao is arrogant, arrogant and soars into the sky;
Don't be afraid of war, the sea is wide and the sky is high after the war;
Don't be afraid of death, treat death as a true hero. ”
Chen Agui's singing outside continued, and Zhong Qiangong shouted: "Agui, Agui......"
"Yes, sir." Chen Agui hurriedly ran over. "What's the matter?"
"Is there a newspaper? Find a few newspapers to read. Zhong Qiangong smiled, he was locked up but could read the newspaper.
"Yes, sir." Chen Agui knew where there were old newspapers, and he remembered and turned around again, "Sir, aren't you all shit." ”
"If it's shit, you have to smell it, otherwise your nose will have no sense of smell." Zhong Qiangong laughed. Before he came, he had heard that Fu Zuoyi's troops were seven and a half routes, and only half of the way was eight. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be the case, Suiyuan's Mobilization Daily and Xinhua Daily are the same caliber, and the things compiled by the cadres and schools are all Yan'an Fan, and even the songs they sing are adapted from the Soviet Union; What I hated the most was that at first, people came to do ideological work for him every day, saying that the hope of the War of Resistance was in the people. He was dismissive of this, and if the people were useful, what would they do with the army, and the planes and artillery.
"Okay, I'll get it, I'll get it." Chen Agui turned around and was about to look for the newspaper, but he didn't want to walk a few steps before he saw the principal Su Kaiyuan and Yang Xuan coming, he was very disgusted with Yang Xuan - Wang Yiqin saved his people at that time and treated his injuries, but he caught himself viciously. "Humph!" He deliberately took a detour to the other side, not wanting to meet them.
"You're back!" Yang Xuan pointed at Chen Agui, and saw that Chen Agui tilted his head and didn't look at himself, so he had to run over in person. "Where are you going?" Chen Agui pretended not to understand, and turned around to leave. "Okay, don't pretend." Yang Xuan grabbed him, "Mr. Liu has already called, saying that you are really the gentleman he invited, and the radio station was also transported by the headquarters on his behalf,"
"Humph!" Chen Agui still hummed, but this time he didn't leave.
"Little brother, your chief, we will release it immediately." Su Kaiyuan looked at Chen Agui and smiled. "This was a misunderstanding, and now that I have figured it out, you were invited by Mr. Liu Duren to teach."
"......" Chen Agui still didn't speak, turned around, and walked towards Guan Zhongqiangong's house.
"Why did you come back again?" Zhong Qiangong saw that he was empty-handed, and then saw Su Kaiyuan and Yang Xuan behind him, his eyes were full of vigilance.
With a few bangs, the door opened, and Su Kaiyuan, who came first, was full of smiles, "Mr. Zhong, the matter has been clarified, this is a misunderstanding." Mr. Liu Duren will be here soon, please go out with me, take a shower first, and then change to a house with the sun to live. ”
"Huh, misunderstanding?" Zhong Qiangong didn't know if he was telling the truth or a lie. "I don't want to go out, it's very comfortable to live here."
"Mr. Zhong, I'm really sorry." With a 'snap', Yang Xuan slapped himself, he bowed and said, "I apologize to you." It's me who is wrong, and I shouldn't doubt sir. ”
"What are you guilty of," Zhong Qiangong smiled, "am I suspicious, you are really right." ”
There was something in Zhong Qiangong's words, and Su Kaiyuan restrained his smile, "Mr. Zhong is angry with me?" ”
"Where are my people now?" Zhong Qiangong didn't answer, only asked who he brought.
"Oh, Miss Wang went to the front line, and everyone else is in school." Su Kaiyuan knew that Zhong Qiangong resented him, and he didn't say anything about being angry or not. He didn't judge Zhong Qiangong again, this kind of person is too stubborn, and he can't take anything out of his mouth at all.
"What about my stuff?" Zhong Qiangong asked, when people are there, they see if the radio station is gone.
"Also in the ......" luggage only has a radio station, but no matter how you look for it, you can't find the codebook. Su Kaiyuan was about to send the radio away, but a telegram from the headquarters came.
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Liu Duren to come." Zhong Qiangong let go of half of his heart, he was still worried about Su Kaiyuan's deception. "I don't care if things are really misunderstood, I don't need to change houses, it's good for me to live here."
"But here......" Yang Xuan still wanted to speak, but Su Kaiyuan stopped him. Just do as Mr. Zhong wants. Guards," Su Kaiyuan shouted outside the door, and when the guards came over, he said: "Mr. Zhong is our friend, not a spy, we were wrong before, but now we have figured it out." Later, it was removed from the post. ”
"Yes!" The guard with the gun shouted yes, and when he was done, he retreated. As soon as he left, Su Kaiyuan and Yang Xuan also left with a smile, and only Zhong Qiangong and Chen Agui were left in the room.
"Go get some hot water." Zhong Qiangong commanded, and then whispered: "Take a look around, and then ask where this is, and what the situation is on Wuyuan's side now." ”
"Yes." Chen Agui also suspected that this was an attempt to capture the old man, so he ran out vigilantly, but he went out very smoothly, not only listened to the news, but also called Zhu Hongyuan and those people over.
"Brother Zhong, Principal Su said that the matter has been figured out. Now it's all right. Wang Ren of the Department of Aeronautics of Tsinghua University smiled at Zhong Qiangong cordially, before coming to the professor, the professor told him that this is a difficult task, not only to be prepared for sacrifice, but also to be prepared to keep secrets, but did not say what the task is, what secrets to keep, only said that everything is under the command of Mr. Zhong.
"Are those things alright?" Zhong Qiangong nodded to Wang Ren, but asked Zhu Hongyuan and Tao Hengxian from the Tongji Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, who were worried that the radio and navigation equipment had been damaged by those soldiers.
"It's all good, it's all good." Zhu Hongyuan nodded, and Tao Hengxian said: "It was loaded a few days ago, and it was said that it was going to be sent to where, but fortunately, things are clear, otherwise we will be escorted away with the radio station." ”
"Where are you going to send it?" Zhong Qiangong lit a cigarette, but as soon as he smoked it, it was not right, it was local smoke, and he only coughed when he choked.
"I don't know, it's not going to Wuyuan anyway." Tauchenham Road. "Brother Zhong, what should we do now? Do you still go to Gohara? ”
"Wait for Mr. Liu to come." Zhong Qiangong didn't dare to act rashly, "We will be safe when he comes." ”
