Yang Bangzi suggested that the three divisions should mobilize a large number of manpower to jointly rob the devil's military columns, which makes sense, just one division wants to get 200,000 rounds of ammunition, this is not to say that 100 or 200 rounds are not taken seriously on the back, that is 200,000 rounds! According to the full amount of one hundred rounds allocated to one soldier, it is enough for two thousand warriors to equip!

Yang Bangzi's own target is 500 rifles, 20 machine guns and a base ammunition, and what he wants to get is nothing, of course, weapons and ammunition are the best.

In this way, without mobilizing 1,800 people, it is impossible to handle the materials pulled by a train, and many young people nowadays do not have this concept of weight and volume, and in their consciousness, there is no clear concept of how much a ton of things kill, and how much land is piled up there.

For example, when I was young, I was taken to the platform of the factory by the old man to work and exercise, and at that time, people carried urea on the train to load urea.

Two boards, one is up, one is down, carrying a bag of 45 kilograms of urea on the back of more than ten meters long on the springboard, to the side of the carriage to throw the urea into the carriage, and then from the other board to walk down, and then carry urea.

The daily ration of each person is almost ten tons, that is, a bag of urea of 45 kilograms, and a person has to carry at least more than 200 bags a day! I still have to walk the trembling springboard, and after a day of drying, it really hurts my back and legs.

Look at the film and television drama again, and there is a pile of gold ingots on a plate at every turn, saying that you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold! I'll it! Even if it is an ancient system of sixteen taels and one catties, this plate is almost more than fifty catties! This plate is full of Hercules!

In fact, I wrote the novel on a whim, and my desire was to study the historical truth with the painstaking efforts of myself and some friends. Sort it out for everyone to see. In this way, at least the real stories that happened in the distant years can be restored.

Let's say this amount. I remembered an interesting story about a friend's research on a memoir a few years ago.

This is a reminiscence article written by an instructor who is said to be an instructor of a divisional guard company, which tells the story of going to the enemy-occupied area to collect 830 oceans on the order of Commander Yang.

Let's talk about the premise first, the reason why we discussed this weight issue just now is to explain the action of robbing the devil's materials in the next three divisions, and it is by no means like the film and television drama, with a big wave of his hand, he said to a few people and a few donkeys: "Rabbits!" We have seized hundreds of guns and tens of thousands of bullets from devils today! "In fact, the donkey's back is full of dozens of guns!

The title of this reminiscence article is "The Bloody Money Bag", and the author's name will not be mentioned. There are only two foreshadowings, one is that the veteran soldier himself said that he was the instructor of the first division guard company in 42 years, and the other is that he was the political commissar of a certain group regiment before he retired in the 70s. In the brackets after the recollection text is my friend's research.

Let's start with the story: a bloody bag of money

——A memory of an old eight roads

(Editor's note: The person at the meeting, a native of the Second Street of Changping Town, joined the Eighth Route Army in 1938, retired in 1970 as the political commissar of a regiment of our army, and is now deceased).

Note: During the Anti-Japanese War, the cadres of the Jin-Cha-Ji troops, except for small-scale transfers with the troops, joined the ranks of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, and generally included the field armies composed of the Jin-Cha-Ji troops that began with "6". As for the troops of the 1st Division, the anti-war cadres joined the 38th Army. I still see an example in memoirs and military history.

In 1942, the Japanese invaders launched the "May Day Sweep". The implementation of the "three lights" policy and a strict economic blockade on China's anti-Japanese base areas brought the War of Resistance against Japan into the most arduous years.

At that time, I was an instructor in the guard company of the Jinchaji First Division Headquarters (the instructor of the first division guard company in 1942 was Xu Xin, a native of Lingshou, Hebei, who joined the Third Division in September 1937 at the age of 16. In February 1939, the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division was transferred to the 3rd Division, and the 10th Brigade of the 3rd Division was transferred to the 1st Division. He served as an instructor in the 5th Company of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division, and was transferred to the 1st Division Guard in early 1940 and served as an instructor. In this position, he worked until 1944, reappointed as company commander and instructor, and in the autumn of 1944, Xu Xin followed Yang Chengwu to Jizhong. In 1942 there would never have been a single instructor of the guard company who went to Changping).

One morning, Commander Yang Chengwu put me with reconnaissance staff officer Xiao Huang (if it was a reconnaissance staff officer of the reconnaissance and intelligence section of the first division headquarters, there was no such person. If it is a reconnaissance staff officer of one of the regiments below, there is no such procedure. If Commander Yang sends a staff officer of a certain regiment to go out on errands, he will definitely be called to his office through the reconnaissance section and the leader of that regiment.

After we entered the door, we saluted Commander Yang, who beckoned us to sit on a bench and said to us: "You are both from Changping, and now some patriots in Changping have secretly raised an anti-Japanese fund for the base area, and you two go to Hechangyan Union County (there is indeed a county organization of this anti-Japanese regime, but this county organization is not in Changping, but in Dazhuang Ke, Yanqing County, and from its establishment in 1940 to its abolition in 1945, it has never moved a place.) The comrades of the underground party joined in and took the money back. ”

"The details of the task will be assigned to you by the chief of staff (what's more, the chief of staff of the first division at that time has just been replaced by Xu Decao, Yang Chengwu doesn't look down on him, and he will never be allowed to interfere in such a monetary task)." Xiao Huang and I immediately stood up and said that we were determined to complete the task.

Those who recall do not understand that the Communist Party's anti-Japanese base areas must have regional jurisdiction, and when it comes to economic gains, it is absolutely forbidden to expropriate them across regions. The area under the jurisdiction of the first sub-district led by Yang Chengwu is only part of Yi County, Laiyuan County, Mancheng County, Xushui County, and Ding County. Other military sub-districts cannot come to collect taxes, food, soldiers, or civilian labor; Nor can a district go out of the realm to do these things. Changping County belongs to the Pingbei region, before 1942 under the jurisdiction of the Advance Army, after 1942 called the 12th Army Division, directly under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. A division's hand won't reach that far.

Therefore, raise funds by yourself, and do not use the anti-Japanese government and anti-Japanese army in your own region. It is used by Yang Chengwu, who has no jurisdiction and never communicates with the eight poles. Is it possible?

When we went, we went along the Great Wall and the Yanshan Mountains to the Ming Tombs of Changping. He went straight down the mountain to a small village called Huaishu Lane outside Changping City to get in touch with the comrades of the underground party, and successfully received the anti-Japanese funds - 830 yuan of ocean (these 830 yuan of ocean could buy 40 catties of flour and 415 bags of flour at that time, which was a lot of money for the base area).

(830 pieces of ocean, do you know how many catties it weighs?) In order not to exchange anything for fiat currency and counterfeit money, at least there is no pressure on the long-distance march with heavy loads. But it is equivalent in terms of use value. Also, from the first sub-district to Changping in Pingbei, there is a gap between the Pingxi area, and this road is a mountain road. Most of them were within the scope of the anti-Japanese base areas led by the anti-Japanese regime, and it was unbelievable that these two people did not bring soldiers with them. ）

When I came back, I discussed with Xiao Huang and decided to go straight to Taowa Village from the south of Nankou Town through the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway to return to the base area, so that we could walk less than 100 miles of mountain roads (you are far away, from Changping to the south into the Mentougou area, called "Wanping area" during the Anti-Japanese War, is the Pingxi anti-Japanese base area. If you don't go directly through the anti-Japanese base area, you have to go around the south exit guarded by the devils, then you will go far). I disguised myself as a business boss, and Xiao Huang dressed as a guy and carried a horse with the ocean on his back (a cloth bag with two pockets on his shoulder, which is now rare).

Old age. More than dozens, more than 100 pieces of the ocean, even if you carry it with you. It is also wrapped in a wrap and carried on the back, or a little more with a pick. More than 800 oceans, on your shoulders, you are funny, right? Looking at the memoirs of the Long March, the silver dollars captured by the Red Army along the way were all picked with picks.

Taking advantage of the darkness, we walked from the old county road to the cemetery south of Nankou Town (according to the oral narrator's recollection, it is the current address of the Nankou Water Supply Company), and observed the movement under a grave mound....... What do you do? All I could hear was a shout. I saw three devils and a pseudo-railway policeman rushing towards us about 150 meters away from us, it turned out that the devils had set up a mobile secret post by the railway!

The enemy found us, and then it was impossible to go back, so we had to force our way across the railway, "Quack" a sound of 38 big covers, bullets flew past my ears, we hurriedly took out shell guns and fired back, because the distance was too far, our pistols had no power at all, and the devil's 38 big covers shot accuracy was very high, we jumped over the railway, and after lying on a big ridge, I saw that Xiao Huang was shot in the back.

The four enemies didn't take us in their eyes, and rushed straight towards us, when we were still thirty or forty meters away, Xiao Huang and I fired a volley, knocking down the pseudo-policeman and a devil, and the remaining two devils did not dare to rush forward again, so they lay on the side of the railway and shot at us, I tore off a piece of cloth from the shirt inside my coat, trying to plug the wound for Xiao Huang, but Xiao Huang's wound was still bleeding, Xiao Huang took my hand and said, "Instructor, we can't stalemate with the enemy like this, I can't go, you hurry up and take the money, When the enemy's reinforcements arrive, neither of us can leave", I ignored him and continued to shoot at the enemy......

At this time, seven or eight devils rushed here from the north side of the railway, and Xiao Huang used all his strength to stuff the bag containing the ocean into my hand: "Instructor, if you don't leave, the task given to us by Commander Yang will not be completed!" Come on! "When I saw the situation, I had to put the bloody cloth bag on my shoulder with tears in my eyes. Leaving the remaining shuttle bullet to Xiao Huang, he rolled over and rolled into the ditch under the ridge and ran west......

I ran westward, and after four or five minutes of gunfire behind me, I stopped, and little yellow ......

I returned to the military sub-district, handed over the 830 yuan of ocean and the handover procedures to Commander Yang by hand, and asked Commander Yang to keep the bloody money bag by me, because the bag had the blood of martyrs on it! There is the voice and smile of a comrade-in-arms! There are unforgettable memories of mine!

After the liberation of the country, I went to the place where Xiao Huang died several times, and the scene of that year was gone, and I don't know where the remains of the martyrs of Ludao are?

(The real instructor of the guard company of the first division, in the late stage of the Anti-Japanese War, he was the captain of the district in Jizhong, the regiment commander in the early stage of the Liberation War, and the division-level cadre in the later stage of the Liberation War, the commander of the 63rd Army in the sixties, and the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region in the seventies.) You were a regimental commissar of the 38th Army by the seventies? It's too far off. ）

I understand when I see this, if the text is not forged and tempered, it is difficult to stand up to scrutiny, especially if it is related to history, you can write bizarre points when writing novels, but it can't be too bizarre.

Another example is that a few days ago, major websites reprinted the memories of a 90-year-old veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, saying that when fighting against the Japanese invaders in Wuhan, his unit used rifles and machine guns to shoot down more than 100 Japanese planes in one day, and this is no longer a bizarre problem.

First, rifles and machine guns have limited range and power, and it is not easy to fight planes. The second is to shoot down the plane, and the national government was going to reward it at that time! Not only the soldiers themselves, but also the regiments, divisions, and corps to which they belong must be commended, and this is not without records and archives to check.

Now that the era is getting farther and farther away, many truths are confused with legends, and it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish, and I also hope that readers will look at this kind of news and stories with colored glasses, and don't take it as a rumor! (To be continued......)
