In June 1939, the Japanese puppet army continued to harass on the left bank of the Qixing River in Fujin and Baoqing, and imposed a grain blockade. Due to the tense situation of the enemy, the headquarters of the five armed forces and the guard units were unable to collect and distribute food, and it was not easy to purchase food, and the shortage of food for the troops became the biggest problem. Due to the fear of being cut off from supplies, the troops changed to porridge meals in the morning and evening. "A thousand deaths dare to be, a hunger is unbearable". The taste of hunger is unpleasant. Lack of provisions, the peasants were forced by the Japanese puppets to be classified into Datun, and were seriously monitored by the enemy, and it was difficult for the peasants to support the Anti-Japanese Federation. In order to solve the problem of supplying the troops, the only way for the anti-United Nations fighters was to attack the enemy's strongholds and the transportation, timber industry, "group tribes", and gold quarries under their guardianship, and seize food from the enemy. In addition, the officers and men of the five armies could only use pine nuts, wild fruits, and tree bark to satisfy their hunger, such as mountain leeks, mountain spinach, mountain celery, bracken, mushrooms, fungus, and so on.

Due to the sudden appearance of Meng Qingshan's anti-Japanese alliance to break the Japanese army's sweeping plan, forcing Sasaki to go to the main force to encircle and suppress Meng Qingshan's department, so that the headquarters of the Fifth Army and the remnants of the Seventh Army of the Second Route Army hiding in the deep mountains and old forests in the Xiajiang area can get a respite, and now there are less than 60 people left in the entire Anti-Japanese Federation, including a few wounded, Gao Yumin, the political commissar of the Fifth Army, and Jing Leting, the commander of the Seventh Army, are discussing the future direction of the team, whether to go to the Soviet Union to find Commander-in-Chief Zhou or continue to fight the Japanese army in this deep mountain and old forest.

"Comrade Yu Min, what do you think we should do now? Although the devil has withdrawn from the army, but we can't always be on the mountain, the army has been out of food for five days, these days are relying on female soldiers to pick wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, in a few days I will starve to death in this deep mountain and old forest. ”

"Comrade Leting, I also think that we should not stay here anymore, and I would like to write a letter to us written to Comrade Jin Ce, secretary of the Provisional Provincial Party Committee of North Manchuria, that we must prepare food for military necessity and non-necessity. It must not be used arbitrarily under any conditions of starvation, and must be secretly placed in various places. Now the enemy often treats our troops in the form of long-chase and encirclement. And if our army is trapped in such a situation, it will only be able to make a guerrilla attack in a long circle around the enemy's encirclement. If you don't have food, you're caught in a long chase by the enemy. Then there may be internal problems, or those who are tied up (such as the Third Army and the Second Division), so we should pay attention to it, now that the harsh winter is coming, the soldiers are still wearing single clothes, we are not only short of food but also lack of cotton clothes, and we have lost contact with the headquarters, and we have been hiding in this mountain for more than three months, I think the Japanese sweep has ended. ”

"Comrade Yu Min, what you said is reasonable, I will tell Lao Lin to let him take out the food we have prepared so that the soldiers can eat it to their heart's content. We'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

At this time, a mile away from the secret camp of the Seventh Army, several female soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation were surrounding a dog date tree, looking at a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old in shabby single clothes on the tree with a worried face, and she was climbing up the tree step by step, and the tree was full of ripe dog dates.

"Little Lizi, be careful."

"Little plum, come down and it's dangerous in the tree."

The girl on the tree was skinny and skinny, and her yellow hair was obviously lacking in nutrition, and when she heard the shouts of the sisters under the tree, she turned around and said: "Sister Shuzhen, Sister Tiehuan, don't worry, we will have dog dates to eat in a while, and I have enough to eat wild vegetables." After saying that, he quickly climbed to the trunk of the tree and stretched out his hand to pull the ripe dog dates.

After a while, dates fell all over the ground, and Liu Shuzhen said to the little plums on the tree: "The little plums are enough, you can come down quickly." ”

"Get rid of this piece and I'll go down." Xiao Lizi said with a happy smile on her face.

They had been worried that the little plum on the tree didn't notice that several pairs of eyes were watching their every move in the grass next to them, "Thin man, where did you say that so many girls came from in the deep mountains and old forests." Could it be that they were all persecuted by little devils and fled to the mountains? ”

"What do you say, three fat man! You see what they are carrying, it's a gun, they must be female bandits, and after a while, a few of our brothers will go up and arrest them and ask which cottage they are. It just so happens that our regiment needs to rest, leopard, you go back and report to the platoon commander and ask him to bring someone over, just have the two of us. ”

"Don't move. Otherwise, I'll shoot. "Hurry up and put the gun down for me, otherwise grandpa will be you, but grandpa's gun won't recognize you." After saying that, the two of them walked over to several women around the tree with a Type 38 rifle.

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Liu Shuzhen, Wang Tiehuan and several other female soldiers hurriedly turned around and found that from the bushes next to them, two people wearing Japanese-style military uniforms, wearing Japanese-style helmets, and holding 38 big covers, shouted to them. One is very fat and the other is very thin, and he doesn't look like a good person, the fat man looks very vicious, and the thin man looks like a mountain monkey. They cracked their mouths and smiled, slowly approaching them.

The female soldiers have not eaten a full meal for several days, relying on a spirit to dig wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, but I didn't expect to meet the Manchurian puppet army, when they saw the two people approaching them with lewd smiles on their faces, they knew what the consequences would be if they were caught, the female soldier platoon commander took out a grenade from his arms and said to the puppet soldiers who came to them: "Dog traitor, we will not let you succeed even if we die." ”

An elderly female fighter firmly said to everyone: "Comrades, we are communists and fighters of the Anti-Japanese Union, and we would rather die than be prisoners!" Fighting and dying for the liberation of the motherland is our greatest honor! After speaking, he sang "The Internationale" with his arms in hand...... The blood is already boiling to fight for the truth...... ready to pull the grenade.

This frightened the two scouts of the Seventh Regiment, who just wanted to ask where their cottage was. When I heard them shouting that we were anti-Japanese fighters and communists, they were immediately startled, "The eldest sister misunderstood, my own people." He hurriedly ran over to stop it.

"Yikes!" "Ahh

I saw that the two scouts of the seventh regiment saw a black shadow fall from the sky and crushed the two of them to the ground before they could get close to the women, and the female soldiers of the women's platoon who were about to die saw the two puppet soldiers being pressed to the ground by Xiao Lizi, and collectively rushed over to beat the two of them violently, Zhao Shouzhi pushed the things on his body to the side and raised his head, and before he could say anything, he saw a woman kick him in the head, kicking him all over the sky with little stars, and fainted to the ground.

Another scout, Sun Shan, was more clever, first rolled on the spot to dodge the attack, quickly got up and said loudly: "Comrades, I misunderstood that we are a family. "Who's with your family." After speaking, he threw the dog dates in his hand at Sun Shan, Sun Shan hurriedly resisted with his hands, and then another female soldier ran to him and kicked him in the crotch of his pants.

"Proud!" Sun Shan covered his crotch, his eyes widened, and he looked at the female soldier who kicked him with an expression of disbelief, and fainted to the ground.

After about ten minutes, Sun Shan and Zhao Shouzhi opened their eyes and found that the two of them were tied to the jujube tree, only a pair of pants were left in their clothes, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, thinking that they were beaten when they fainted, and the female warrior was happily not knowing what to say while holding the dried meat received from them and eating, Sun Shan and Zhao Shouzhi looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame, the dignified scout was actually beaten by a group of old ladies, go back and let the comrades think.

"Sister Shuzhen, this traitor's shoes are so warm."

"Sister Shuzhen, give me another piece, I'll exchange dates with you."

"Xiao Lizi, you have eaten three pieces, such a good thing can't be enjoyed exclusively, and I will wait until I go back to give it to Chief Gao and Chief Jing to taste."

"Oh! Hey! Political Commissar Li, you see that the two traitors have woken up. ”

"Tell me which part you are from, and where are your troops now?"

"The eldest sister misunderstood, we are also the Anti-Japanese Federation, we are our own people."

"Your own people, so what part do you say you are?"

"Eldest sister, we are scouts directly under the Seventh Regiment of the Second Detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and we are here to find a hidden place so that the large army can rest."

"Phew! Who is your own person with you, you are clearly a traitor, who are you a traitor! Where is the second detachment of our Anti-Japanese Federation, hurry up and explain honestly, otherwise be careful that your aunt's gun will not recognize you. ”

"Eldest sister, we are really the Anti-Japanese Federation, and our head is Wang Minggui."

"Smack!"

"Our political commissar is Chen Lei."

"Smack!"

"Our commander is Meng Qingshan, the commander of the Second Detachment of the Anti-Japanese Federation, who is famous in the Northeast and has won a hundred battles and made the Japanese army fearful."

"Smack!"

Sun Shan's face was beaten like a pig's head and cried: "What I said is true, what do you want?" ”

"Smack, smack, smack, smack."

"Sister Li Min, these two traitors are so cunning, they have beaten them into pigs' heads, and they don't tell the truth, why don't we take them back to the secret camp and let the military commander interrogate them."

"It's fine." After speaking, several female anti-Japanese federations picked up guns and untied the two and escorted them down the mountain. (To be continued......)
