Chapter 103: Two Missing! Section 2: Public Memorial Assemblies

After pondering with Yang Bangzi all night, it was only after writing a battle summary that Hong Mei had moved a lot of thoughts, and tried to cover up some places that might have to be buttoned up to Yang Bangzi's hat with words, focusing on organizing resistance to the Japanese attack or something.

Yang Bangzi was tired and went to rest by himself, Hong Mei forced herself to ask the soldiers who participated in the battle, Xiao Liangzi, big one, whatever, after separating from Kawaguchi Town, Yang Bangzi's basic whereabouts were almost understood, and then he began to write a report to Director Shu.

Before the report was finished, it happened again! Director Cheng of the Sixth Division has arrived! They set out from the barracks town overnight and arrived on horseback for more than half a day to verify the deeds of the 28 warriors jumping off the cliff for the military region.

Unexpectedly, this time Yang Bangzi slept on the cat's place to be hidden, and I didn't find it for a long time, so Hong Mei had to accompany Director Cheng to see the back mountain, wander around the cottage, and go to the big depression to see the remains of the martyrs stored there.

Twenty-seven white stubble coffins have been made overnight, and the martyrs are all packed inside. In Xiwangzhuang, I had a lot of dealings with this enlightened squire who was resolutely anti-Japanese, and the mansion was negotiated between the old gentleman and Director Cheng.

Now the house is still there, but the owner has sacrificed, Director Cheng is also a tough guy, remembering the old man's voice and smile, he can't help but burst into tears.

After returning from the big depression, Director Cheng looked at the summary report jointly sent by Hong Mei and Yang Bangzi to the military region, put forward a few suggestions, and asked Hong Mei to gather the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the defense of Guojiabaozi and made detailed inquiries and records.

The remaining thirty or so people didn't leave. Quite a few people slept all day. It's too tiring. I heard that this superior sent someone to investigate the battle, what to say, and there is nothing to hide and keep.

was busy until midnight, and everything that needed to be done was done, and Director Cheng was in a hurry to rush back to the barracks town to meet the second child, after all, the only surviving child was a witness to the cliff jumping incident.

Hong Mei wanted to stay with Director Cheng before leaving after eating, Director Cheng meant that finishing this matter was more important than eating, Hong Mei asked the director if he had any explanation for Yang Bangzi?

Director Cheng didn't say anything for a while. Before leaving, he said meaningfully to Hong Mei: "No matter what happens in the future, you must be calm!" To be able to watch Yang stick! ”

After saying this, he whipped his horse and whipped away. Looking at the few horses galloping away on the mountain road, Hong Mei's heart twitched one by one. What is going to happen? Director Cheng didn't say it thoroughly, it sounded panicked!

With Director Cheng's personal inspection, the telegram from the military region arrived again in the middle of the night, ordering Hong Mei to summon the nearby villagers and troops at dawn in the name of the 11th Army Division, hold a public memorial meeting for the 28 warriors of Guojiabaozi, and bury the bodies of the martyrs in the place where they fought before their deaths, and seal the soil and erect a monument. The military region considered that it was 28 jumps off the cliff, although one person survived. It's better to take the twenty-eight warriors jumping off the cliff as the name.

According to the custom of our Chinese, three days out of the funeral, this military region also thought of this, people died in the soil for peace, just three days ago, just after the battle, there are many troops and fellow villagers nearby, holding a public festival is influential and educational.

The memorial was written by President Nie himself, and was sent to Hong Mei to read it in the name of the military region, with a special indication that Hong Mei presided over the public memorial meeting as a political commissar, without mentioning Yang Bangzi's stubble.

This Hong Da political commissar is a little embarrassed, don't let Yang Bangzi participate, he is still the commander of this division, and he is also the participant and commander of the whole battle, let him participate, the military region did not mention this stubble, and even the telegram only had Hong Mei's name on the letterhead, which meant ignoring Yang Bangzi at all.

After sending the people who notified the nearby villagers and troops away, Hong Mei thought about it, but she couldn't make up her mind, and when she was in trouble, Lao Feng and the others arrived.

Before Feng Dayan and Er Vulture escorted a group of fellow villagers down the mountain a few days ago, Yang Bangzi gave them a special task, to send the secretary of the provincial party department of the Kuomintang and others down the mountain among the villagers.

The intention is obvious, let the people of your national government also take a look, how the Eighth Road resisted Japan, don't talk nonsense there all day long, Lao Feng's identity is needless to say, he is accompanied by the position of deputy of the military division, and the second bald dragon is even more interesting, the new second division in the national army that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love comes out!

Talk to these people about how to stay behind enemy lines, and they don't care about the World War Zone, and Chief Yan doesn't ask, if it weren't for the help of others, they would have been wiped out by devils a long time ago, and showing up to say it would be more effective than anything.

After a few days, it was sent to the military camp town and handed over to the comrades of the enemy engineering section of the 6th Division, explaining that this was a friendly army, and asked the 6th Division to be sent to the territory of the Second War Zone in Shanxi.

With such a delay, Lao Feng and the others did not catch up with the defense of Guojiabao. After sending off those few people in the barracks town, I met the old blind man and some organs and villagers transferred here from the 11th Division, and heard that Guojiabaozi was fighting very lively, so he escorted the organs and villagers back to Chuankou Town with the old blind man, and led the team back.

When Lao Feng came, Hong Mei could be regarded as having someone to discuss, so she told her about the conflict between Yang Bangzi and the Third Regiment after she arrived, and also told the situation of the military region and the Sixth Division calling to inquire and sending people to investigate.

After so many years of intra-party struggle, everyone who has survived to this time is highly sensitive to this kind of thing! As soon as Feng Dayan looked at these reciprocal messages, he understood that Yang Bangzi was going to break! There are only two possibilities why the name of Yang Bangzi is not mentioned in the telegram: First, it is being investigated and verified, and no opinions have been put forward to deal with it. The second is that the mistake made by Yang Bangzi has been determined, and it will not be announced for the time being.

To put it bluntly, waiting for the investigation team sent by the military region to arrive is actually equivalent to announcing that the 11th Army Division is now under the temporary management of Hong Mei.

Seeing that the problem was serious, Lao Feng was also anxious to find Yang Bangzi, looking for it and still couldn't find it, Zuihou asked the sentry at the North Mountain Pass, but then he asked, the sentry said that it was not dark last day, and Yang Bangzi took Xiao Liangzi to walk to the big depression.

Sent people over there to find a place, and they all said that they saw Yang Bangzi came to see the coffins of the martyrs, and begged the villagers for some paper money or something, and after burning it, they ran west and went over the mountain!

What! Benxi is gone! Why don't you say hello when you go for? Lao Feng was stunned all of a sudden! The top is going to investigate, you Yang stick flicked his sleeves and left, this button you don't cooperate with the investigation, and you don't wronged you at all if you leave your post without permission! That alone is enough to remove you!

Lao Feng shouted over and told him to chase along the mountain beam in the west, and he must chase Yang Bangzi back! Take a few more people with you, even if you carry him, you have to carry him back!

As a result, when the public memorial meeting was held on the morning of the next day, the big ones were tired and couldn't straighten their waists, and they rushed back to say that they still hadn't found it, and they all chased them to Liu Gezhuang and other places, and asked all the villagers, and they all said that they hadn't seen two eight-way fights.

Lao Feng and Hong Mei estimated that Yang Bangzi must have guessed something, with his broken temper, he didn't want to wait to be interrogated by the investigation team, and he was deducted from his hat, so he simply left, what hat do you like to buckle!

I can only put the matter of Yang Bangzi on the go first, and open the public memorial meeting first!

At eleven o'clock in the morning, this is the time when the second baby said that he jumped off the cliff, and it was about this time when the big man and the little Liangzi saw someone jumping off the cliff in the back mountain, so they chose this time as the time for the martyrs to be funeral.

More than 5,000 villagers and soldiers from various units who rushed from all over the world to hear the news gathered on the ruins of Guojiabaozi and held a grand memorial meeting for the 28 warriors who committed suicide by jumping off a cliff to resist the Japanese invaders.

On behalf of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Northern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Political Commissar Hong read out the eulogy, and briefly explained to the soldiers and civilians attending the public memorial meeting the experience of the martyrs' desperate struggle with the Japanese invaders and the unyielding battles of the martyrs.

Lao Feng also generously complained about the atrocities of the Japanese army in the name of the 11th Army Division, and encouraged the soldiers and civilians to unite and fight the devils to the end.

The zuihou of the conference buried the bodies of the 27 martyrs on the top of the hill where they jumped off the cliff, placed the coffins in the stone holes dug out overnight, built the tombs with loess and stones, and moved up from the bottom of the mountain 27 cypress trees and planted them next to the tombs, and a bluestone slab more than three meters high was erected in front of these tombs, with a line of big characters on it: "The 28 anti-Japanese warriors of Guojiabao are immortal!"
