Chapter 705: The Night Is Deep
On the third day of the first lunar month, the Japanese army frantically bombed the camouflage position of the Eighth Route Army outside Dexian County, and Liu Yimin set a plan to maintain obscurity.
In the evening, the torches in Cangxian County were like stars, the Yin teams of the Eighth Route Army, the counties and districts on the border of Hebei and Shandong, and the militia and villagers who had been urgently mobilized were all busy, and the rubber-wheeled carts drawn by horses, the iron wheels and wheelbarrows pulled by oxen were all rattling, and the cadres and soldiers, militiamen, and fellow villagers were carrying horse-drawn carts under the command of the New Sixth Brigade Heavy Battalion, and rushed to transport all kinds of materials for the Japanese army overnight.
Since it was wartime, needless to say, the soldiers of the Ganyin Department strictly enforced discipline, and rushed to the designated warehouse in teams according to the order, carrying things and leaving, without superfluous words. Although the villagers told them that they could not speak, many acquaintances from the four towns and eight villages met and had to talk, and at least they had to ask each other whether there was still any family in which village.
For a while, the night in Cangxian County became humane, and there were local accents everywhere, shouting here, "Brother, do you beat Qi?" The other side replied, "Just pad it, pad it, and carry a big one for the Eighth Route Army!" "Oh, my girl, where is the electric knob dangling?" And they said, "Don't grind, Sally, the donkeys are roaring!" ”
During the war years, human life was like grass. The Japanese army is the most barbaric and ferocious army in history, and where it passes, how many villages and towns with smoke and pastoral songs have turned into ruins, and it is already the greatest luxury of the old Baiyin surname behind the enemy to survive the non-stop sweeping of the little Yinzi ghost Yinzi. This is fortunate that the Eighth Route Army is here, otherwise I don't know how many people will die in the entire Jilu border.
Mu Laohanzu has lived by the canal for generations, and he is used to seeing all kinds of armies, and knows that no matter which commander's team, no matter how bad the military discipline is, at most, he has used his boat without paying for it, and it is a big deal to take a few gun butts. Therefore, when the Japanese army went south from the Pingjin area to attack Dexian, he not only did not run, but also worked with his son to transport military rations to the Japanese army at the call of Yin. In his mind, the Japanese army is also a human being, and it is nothing more than a struggle with China for the right to be an official. After the Japanese army is over, he can still be his shipowner, go to Tianjin in Xiade County, earn a little freight, so that his wife, son, and daughter can eat and dress, and his little grandson Yinzi can wear new clothes.
When he and his son transported a boatload of white rice to the Dexian wharf and returned to their home in Cangxian, the scene in front of them made the two of them stunned for a moment: in the small courtyard by the canal, which was once full of joy, the wife, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and Sun Yinzi were all lying naked on the ground. The worst thing is that the little grandson Yinzi was lifted and his legs were torn apart from the middle.
By the time Mu Laohan and his son woke up from the ground, there were already boat brothers who came to visit and help with the aftermath.
Only then did Mu Laohan and his son know that after they left, the little ghost Yinzi entered his house.
buried his wife, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandson Yinzi, Mu Laohan and his son Lao Han sailed on the canal as usual, but there were two more pig-killing knives in the cabin, looking for the bad luck of the lonely little Yinzi and Yinzi. After doing it a few times, the two of them were targeted by the Guiyinzi gendarmes, and they couldn't stay on the canal, so they had to run to the Jilu side. After the Eighth Route Army came, his son voted for the Eighth Route Army. Mu Laohan was old, got a merchant to pick, shuttled between the county seat and the countryside in Cangxian County, selling a little needle and thread brain, and secretly became a traffic officer of the county brigade.
Now Mu Laohan is sipping his cigarette pouch and gossiping with Li Laohan who came to the Ziya River to transport the spoils of war to the Eighth Route Army, because when Mu Laohan transported goods to the Ziya River, Li Laohan's house was a place for him to rest, and he didn't eat less food cooked by the Li family's sister-in-law Yinzi.
Li Laohan told Mu Laohan that his family was finished early, and his wife's feet were small when he ran for the old days, so that Xiaoyin's ghost Yinzi caught Yinzi and caused trouble. The son wanted to avenge his mother, so he drove a boat to burn the little Yinzi ghost Yinzi's motorboat at night, and died with the ghost Yinzi. There is only one baby girl left, who is 19 years old this year, participated in the training class of the Eighth Route Army, and came back to be the savior of the village Yinren, leading a group of old Yinyin girls and eldest daughters, busy making military shoes for the Eighth Route Army every day and handing over public food. Carrying an old sleeve on his shoulder, like a young man, he followed the guerrillas to fight ghosts and avenge her mother and brother.
The two old men suffered the same thing, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Mu Laohan asked Li Laohan to follow him, anyway, the family is gone, and he lives to fight with the little Yinzi of the dog Yinri, who can kill one, when will he die, fuck the egg! Li Laohan thinks about it, this is also the truth, the girl has her own affairs, and she has to worry about her own heart. It's better to follow Mu Laohan, and the two brothers will follow the Eighth Route Army together, and maybe they can kill the two little ghosts and Yinzi with their own hands to avenge their wives. Among the rushing troops, the most eye-catching are the Hui Yinmin brothers in Cangxian County. Liu Zhenhuan led the newly formed Huiyinmin Brigade on the Jilu border to take the lead in the battle to capture the county seat of Cangxian County, and played the prestige of the Huiyinmin soldiers. As soon as the local cadres mobilized again, the imams led the young descendants to form a transport team, leading horses and cars, and drove to the county seat of Cangxian County. There are many Hui people in the Jilu border area. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Hui traitors, represented by Shandong Governor Ma Liang, defected to the Japanese invaders, provoked the contradictions between the Hui and Han under the instigation of the Japanese invaders, and controlled the chaotic thinking of the Hui people in the minds of the Hui people. After the Eighth Route Army established the Jilu Border Huiyin People's National Salvation Association and the Chengyin Establishment of the Hebei and Lubian ** Brigade, it carried out propaganda and education activities in response to this situation. However, due to the occupation of the Jilu border by the Japanese army some time ago, the Eighth Route Army did not have a very good effect in mobilizing the Hui Yinmin masses to unite **, and Liu Zhenhuan's Hui Yinmin ** Brigade was only 52 people after the formation of Yinli, which was only equivalent to a platoon of the Eighth Route Army.
Now it's okay, Liu Zhenhuan and Wang Lianfang led the ** Brigade of the Hui Yinmin Brigade on the Jilu Border to become famous in the East Gate of Cangxian County, so that the Hui Yinmin brothers saw the real results of the Anti-Japanese War, which is more effective than how many propaganda materials are printed.
Cai Zhong is an old political worker, and he has been in the team with Liu Yimin for so long, and he has already been a well-known political cadre in our army. From the transport team in the costume of the Hui Yinmin, Cai Zhong immediately realized that the opportunity to unite and mobilize the Hui Yinmin brothers from the Jilu border has appeared. A good Caizhong, immediately put the comrades of the Jilu Border Administration, the Jilu Border Huiyin People Salvation Association and the Jilu Border Huiyinmin ** Brigade together, and specifically instructed how to use the advantages of capturing Cangxian County to do a good job in launching the Hui Yinmin ** work, and asked the cadres and soldiers of the Jilu Border Huiyin People's Salvation Association and the Jilu Border Huiyinmin ** Brigade to find an imam as a friend and form a one-on-one pair, Xuanyin to spread the policy of the Yinyin clan and the clan of our army, and the importance of Xuanyin to unite the Han Dynasty. Let the majority of Hui Yinmin brothers understand that the little Yin ghost Yinzi not only kills the Han Yin people, but also kills the Hui Yin people, and only by defeating the invaders and driving away the little Yin ghost Yinzi, can the Hui Yinmin brothers freely believe in the Yinyang Yiyin Si Yinlan religion, and live and develop in the beautiful motherland freely. Of course, Cai Zhong's mobilization is much more vivid and rich.
During the time he was in Jilubian, he communicated with Wang Lianfang, the head of the Huiyinmin National Salvation Association in Jilubian, and Liu Zhenhuan, the captain of the ** Brigade of Huiyinmin in Jilubian, and learned a lot of knowledge about Yiyinsi Yinlan, and had a certain understanding of the history of the development of Yiyinsiyinlanism.
In addition, Cai Zhong has followed Liu Yimin for a long time, and his horizons have broadened a lot, and he is much more rational and objective than ordinary people. Therefore, Cai Zhong did this mobilization, but it opened the eyes of the soldiers of the Huiyinmin cadres and Yinmin, understood the principle of uniting to save the country, understood that the Huiyinmin apologetics and love the Yinguo are a whole, and understood that only by defeating the invaders and establishing New China can the Huiyinmin brothers truly realize the belief in Yinyin and their self-reliance. After the mobilization of Cai Zhong, the soldiers of the Ganyin Department moved quickly and went to act together with the Hui Yinmin brothers who came to carry the supplies.
Ren Ma Zhenhua, deputy director of the Party Committee and deputy director of the Executive Office of the Jilu Border, stayed behind and reported to Cai Zhong, that is, in the process of the anti-sweeping campaign along the Jilu Border, the local military Yinqian and the local political power suffered great losses.
I don't know what the reason is, Xiao Yin Ghost Yinzi seems to have mastered the law of action of the executive office and several county-level political powers, and he pounced very accurately, often a county brigade has just moved to a new area, and Xiao Yin Ghost Yinzi then chased it, and the attack target was clear. If it weren't for the tunnel, it would probably have been done long ago. Ma Zhenhua asked Cai Zhong to order the Ministry of Security to investigate the matter. Cai Zhong asked why the main force of Fu Zhuting's action did not have this problem? Ma Zhenhua reported that the main force and the executive department did not act together, and Fu Zhuting had given him a death order, and if any combat operation of the main force and the main force was to be known by the administrative department, he would only be notified. Without an express order from Fu Zhuting, it must not be disclosed to a second person. Therefore, the main force led by Fu Zhuting has reduced its holdings in Jilubian for so long, and has never been raided by Xiaoyin, the ghost Yinzi. Cai Zhong knew what the problem was when he heard it. The main forces led by Fu Zhuting have all undergone strict secrecy education, and the soldiers of the cadre Yin Department have a strong sense of secrecy, and it is not easy for the little Yin ghosts to penetrate. The soldiers of the Ganyin tribe in the local Wuyin costume are all native to their hometowns, and the secrecy education of the soldiers of the Ganyin tribe is poor.
If the ghost Yinzi has the intention to infiltrate, it will be easy to have problems. Thinking of so many materials being transported to Jilubian, if Xiaoyin, the ghost Yinzi, knew the hiding location, wouldn't it be equivalent to working in vain? Cai Zhong didn't dare to slack off, and took Ma Zhenhua to see Zeng Zhongsheng and Fu Zhuting.
Several people discussed together for a long time, and decided to wait for Zhang Hongtao to lead the Sixth Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade to converge, and to concentrate on carrying out the grievance complaint campaign and the three investigation activities in the counties and districts along the Hebei and Shandong borders, so as to improve the political and military quality of the local Wuyin, and at the same time dig out the special services that have infiltrated our army. As for the materials transported back from Cangxian, except for those handed over to the Luxi Garrison Brigade and the Second Teaching Brigade, after the rest were transported back to the central area of the Hebei and Lubian areas, in addition to supplementing the Yin team, they quickly organized the Yin weaving and transported them back to the Qinghe area, so as not to lose anything. When it is transported to the Qinghe area, it will be carried out by the Sixth Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade, and it will be kept strictly confidential. There is a busy scene in Cangxian County, but Suxian is different. The military situation was like fire, and Naosaburo Gangbe did not dare to slack off, and led the army to assemble at a rapid march speed to Suxian since last night. The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is already February 22 of the Gregorian calendar, the heavy snow has already melted, the weather is gradually warmer, the Japanese mechanized brigade is moving fast, the armored brigade, the guards division, the second division, the fifth division, and the first division have all arrived in Suxian one after another. After arriving in Suxian, Naosaburo Gangbe sent telegrams to Sugimoto and Iida Sadagu, asking about the latest movements of the Eighth Route Army. Ever since the fight with Yoji Fujii, the commander of the 38th Division, in Dangshan County, Naosaburo Gangbe has been secretly vigilant in his heart, silently blaming himself, feeling that his cultivation is not enough, and he is still far from being a general who is in charge alone. Speaking of which, Liu Yimin is indeed to blame. If there were no Liu Yimin and the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army would have marched all the way, where would it have suffered so many defeats! If you don't lose the battle, you'll be in a good mood, and there won't be a fight with Yoji Fujii. Iida Sadagu's telegram soon arrived, informing him that the sweeping operation against Lunan was not going smoothly, that there were minefields of the Eighth Route Army everywhere, and that the terrain was complicated, and that the Yin Brigade suffered heavy casualties and small results. The 12th Army has prepared to temporarily suspend the operational plan of sweeping Yinxian and wait for the main force to recover Cangxian before sweeping Yinchao. Shanshanyuan's telegram is different from Iida Sadagu, this old ghost Yinzi is already anxious, and strictly orders Okabe Naosaburo to act quickly, be sure to advance in the starry night, and change if it is late. In case the main force of the southern front is delayed, the Eighth Route Army is likely to storm Dexian or destroy the main force of the 41st Division in Dongguang. It is even possible to attack the central Hebei and Pingjin regions, in which case the public security situation in North China will be completely eroded, and someone will have to be responsible for this. Okabe Naosaburo asked himself to pay attention to his cultivation again, and he couldn't help but want to scold after reading Shanshanyuan's telegram, this old thing is carved out of the same mold as Shouichi Terauchi, and they are all masters of finding a substitute for Yinyang. The general in the temple is a little better, and he doesn't look for himself when he looks for a substitute for Yinyang, Shanshanyuan is good, not long after he came to North China, he actually wants to be a substitute for Yinyang, it's inexplicable! The grief-stricken Okabe Naosaburo wanted to send a report to scold Shanshanyuan immediately, but he didn't do it because he knew that he couldn't afford to mess with Shanshanyuan. General Shouichi Terauchi is already powerful enough, and this Sugi Sugi Yuan is even more powerful than General Terauchi. If he returns to the base camp one day to serve as the land minister, he will be miserable.
Can't scold Shanshan Yuan, Gangbu Naosaburo has nowhere to vent his anger, and he is unwilling to catch which small staff officer is crazy, Gangbu Naosaburo has to strictly order the Yin team to act quickly and return north overnight. Considering the safety of the long-distance march, the meticulous Gangbu Naosaburo also sent a telegram to the commanders of the divisions of the various departments along the line, asking them to strictly guard the railways and highways to ensure the smooth and safe passage of the army back to the north. Unexpectedly, as soon as the telegram was sent, Naosaburo Gangbe received a report that there had been a Japanese army rush incident in Suxian County, killing and wounding hundreds of people.
Okabe Naosaburo frowned, and asked Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, the commander of the 16th Division, to go to investigate and deal with it. Fujie Keisuke apparently received the report before Naosaburo Gangbe, and as soon as he heard that Lieutenant General Gangbu asked him to deal with it, he muttered that it was inconvenient for him to go, and that it was the soldiers of the Guards Division who had just arrived in the county seat of Suxian County that there was a clash with the soldiers of the 16th Division stationed in the county seat of Suxian, and it was better for Gangbe-kun to deal with it himself.
Okabe Naosaburo was about to scold, but the telegram on Keisuke Fujie's desk rang again, and Okabe Naosaburo grabbed the telegram and heard a hurried voice from the microphone, saying that there was a fire fight between the second division and the fifth division, and asked the division commander to hurry up and stop it, otherwise, the situation would be even more serious.
