Chapter 266: Train Turmoil

However, Yang Zhen changed his mind like this, although it did not take too long. The local military control committee in Tongliao also acted fast enough, and the required wagons were transferred within half an hour. But it was enough to delay the train for nearly an hour.

At the same time, after Yang Zhen arrived at Tongliao Station, in order to ensure his safety, the military management committee immediately imposed martial law on the station, and the strict security made the passengers who took this train scared half to death. Until a long time after the departure of the train, passengers who did not know what had happened were still talking about it, speculating about what had happened.

Is the train station mixed with Japanese spies, or is there something important? For a while, he didn't know that the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Federation was full of rumors among the passengers on this train. Some people even speculate whether it was the big man of the puppet Manchurians, or even the original Xuantong, the current Emperor Kant, who was arrested and transported back to Harbin by this train?

After all, they don't know who this train is on, but they still know clearly about the fact that the Anti-Japanese Federation won another big victory some time ago. The train with Tongliao as the starting station was suddenly delayed, so that the people on the train rarely did not complain, but discussed it with great interest.

Yang Zhen in the two additional carriages naturally didn't know that there were some boundless discussions in the front carriages. However, Yang Zhen was very dissatisfied with the martial law imposed at the station after his arrival, a large number of passengers could not get off the train entering the station, and the train that should have departed could only be delayed.

Although he also knew that this was a method taken by the Tongliao Military Management Committee for his own safety. But for this kind of rather disturbing behavior, Yang Zhen is still very dissatisfied. After this incident, except for military trains, Yang Zhen, who rarely took the train, basically did not take the train.

The train prepared by the Northeast Bureau for the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the special train used by the commander of the captured Kwantung Army, and the modified military command train, Yang Zhen has basically not ridden except for a very few once or twice. Yang Zhen rarely takes trains, not because they are uncomfortable on trains, nor because they are slow or for other reasons.

In fact, in this day and age, airplanes with piston engines without supercharged cockpits are lagging behind in addition to being faster. Whether it is safety or comfort, there is no way to compare with the special train. The number of airports is even smaller, and the take-off and landing of aircraft is greatly restricted.

Convenient and fast highways are also far from shadows. Most of the roads between different places are dirt roads of poor quality, and it is not a comfortable thing to ride by car. In the Northeast, where the railway network is the densest in the country, taking the train can be said to be the most comfortable way to travel.

If he took the train, it was impossible for him to squeeze into an ordinary carriage with passengers. The train of the former commander of the Kwantung Army, with his bedroom and toiletries, as well as a high-end dining car, although he rarely used it. However, there is no problem with adding ordinary passenger cars to the rear of passenger and freight trains.

But Yang Zhen really couldn't stand it because he was alone, delaying and affecting too many things to travel. After taking the train this time, the local rumors and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and it also affected the travel of many passengers, Yang Zhen never took the train except for the military train before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Originally, Yang Zhen transferred to the train this time, but did not transfer the plane to pick him up. It is to have a good rest and relaxation before arriving in Harbin. Yang Zhen chose to return to the northeast by land, a distance of several hundred kilometers on the way. Even the ride is exhausting.

American-made jeeps of this era are not the SUVs that were more comfortable than sedans a few decades later. The off-road function is excellent, but the comfort is basically absent. In addition to the dilapidated roads, which have not been maintained for many years. The bumpy journey along the way made Yang Zhen somewhat tired. And the thinking along the way also made Yang Zhen feel no better than fighting a big battle.

Originally, I changed to the train to rest myself and relax my muscles. As well as relieving the overuse of the brain, and the brain is also exhausted. didn't expect it to lead to such a turmoil. After this incident, except for the military train, Yang Zhen never took the train again.

However, taking the train this time is a rare way for Yang Zhen, who is basically taking an ordinary train for the first time in addition to the military train. Although the guards around him were nervously standing in the carriage he was in, connecting with the carriage in front of him where ordinary passengers were riding, the safety of the guns in their hands was also open.

In the passenger compartment in front, the personnel are very complicated. These guards, where dare to relax a little? Who can guarantee that there are no spies or saboteurs in the front compartment of the thousands of passengers? No. 1 doesn't let every carriage be equipped with guards, what if there is a little accident?

It's just that compared to the guards who seemed extremely nervous, Yang Zhen was much more relaxed. After telling Zhang Zixiong to inform the guards, don't be so grassy and all the soldiers, and close the insurance. Yang Zhen turned his head and kept looking out the window, there was a unique scenery on both sides of the railway.

It's just that not long after the train left Tongliao Station, an unexpected incident, although it made Yang Zhen's guards nervous and half dead, but it gave Yang Zhen a rare opportunity to relax. It's a long drive, and although it's picturesque, it's nice to have someone to have a long conversation.

The resumption of the railway system in wartime and its operation could not have been the same as in peacetime. In particular, from Tongliao to Harbin, the Dazheng Railway and the Pingqi Railway need to pass through, which are the main channels for the northeast to transfer strategic materials to the Guannai. With the opening of traffic inside and outside the Kansai gates, the railway appears to be extremely busy.

Therefore, although there is a direct train from Tongliao to Harbin, there is no express train on all railway lines in the entire Beiman base area, and they are basically the kind of slow trains that stop at the station. Even in wartime, in order to make way for military columns, it was common to stay for hours at times.

Although the carriage that Yang Zhen was in was attached to this train, it was impossible for things to be avoided. In such a short period of time, it is not possible to adjust the operating chart of the entire railway line. Therefore, this train was slow along the way, still according to the usual operation plan, and there was no stop at any station.

In the midst of a seemingly long trip, chatting with a stranger is still a good solution to the boredom. Especially with a young couple who don't know their true identity, chatting about the shortcomings of their parents, these things that Yang Zhen has never been exposed to, are not a way to relax.

Just when the train that Yang Zhen was riding just passed through Zhengjiatun Station. At the junction between the carriage that Yang Zhen was riding and the carriage in front, a couple with children suddenly knocked on the door and wanted to enter the carriage where Yang Zhen was. Looking at the couple holding the child, Yang Zhen stopped the guards from blocking the move and asked the couple to put the couple into their own carriage.

After entering the carriage, the man holding the child in the couple looked at the heavily armed guards who were surrounding him and strictly forbidding them to approach Yang Zhen. I was a little scared, and some of my words were not too neat and said, "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you." When the child got into the car, he suddenly developed a high fever, and we did not have any medicine with us, and there was no doctor in the car. We also had no choice, so we thought about running over here to see if we could try our luck. ”

Looking at the two-year-old boy in the man's arms, his little face was burning red. After Yang Zhen ordered the guards around the couple to withdraw, he hurriedly asked a military doctor who was following him to carry him over for examination. At the same time, he waved his hand so that the couple, who were quite restrained, sat opposite him and smiled: "It's nothing, should everyone help each other." ”

"We are the people's army, and if the masses of the people are in difficulty, we will sit idly by, so what are we talking about serving the people? We have a doctor and medicine here, and the child will be handed over to us, so you two can rest assured. Don't be too nervous, I'm not a chief. I think we're all about the same age, so we should all be the same age. ”

"Since we have the opportunity to sit together, let's talk about it. Can I ask you where you are going? Harbin or Qiqihar? Is it to visit relatives and friends, or to go on business? This kid has a fever, why did he come out? Look at the two of you, you must be intellectuals. ”

Although Yang Zhen's attitude was very kind, and his family-like tone, the couple's previous nervous expressions eased a little. However, the shadow that fell when he was surrounded by a group of wolf-like soldiers before is not something that can be eliminated in a short period of time.

When answering Yang Zhen's words, he also stumbled a little and said, "Sir, both of us are teachers from Tongliao School. I am a teacher at the former Puppet Manchurian Tongliao Normal School, and now I am a teacher at the Tongliao Normal School. I went to Harbin this time because I was ordered to work in a newspaper in Harbin. ”

"My wife is a teacher at the former Manchu National High School in Tongliao, and now a teacher at the No. 1 Senior High School. I was transferred to Harbin to work this time, leaving her alone to work in Tongliao, with a child by her side, and now she is pregnant again, I am really not at ease. My parents are in Jilin, and her parents are even farther away in Chengde, and the elderly on both sides can't help them. ”

"I simply asked her to resign and go to Harbin with me to take care of her. Wait until your children are older and then go out and look for a job. I am a graduate of Jilin Shidao University of Manchuria, and my wife is a graduate of Shidao Special Course of Xinjing University of Technology. Schools are being built everywhere now, and it is no problem to find a job as a teacher after giving birth. ”

"The child was fine before he got into the car, although he had a small cough, but when he left, he went to the doctor and said that there was nothing too big. Who knew that the train was moving, and suddenly a high fever came. We searched all over the carriage and there was no doctor in the car, and there was no medicine on him, and the child had a terrible fever. ”

"When I got on the train at Tongliao Station, I saw your posture here and knew what big people you had here. We're not sure if you have a doctor here, but you're a senior officer, and you probably have some medicine here, so we came here recklessly. I'm sorry sir, for disturbing your rest. ”

Hearing that the man in front of him, who was slightly smaller than himself, was actually transferred to work in Harbin Newspaper, Yang Zhen was a little curious. This transferred to the newspaper is either a reporter or an editor, which is an uncrowned king in the future. At least it shows that this person must have a set of pens, otherwise he would not have been transferred from Tongliao to Harbin.

As for the identity of this person, whether it is what he said or not, Yang Zhen can still judge it. This man has a layer of calluses on the inside of the middle finger of his right hand, and at first glance he looks like a person who has been holding a pen for a long time. There are marks on his hands that he has been holding chalk for a long time and has been too pale by lime. At least this man is not lying in this regard, he is indeed a teacher.
