Chapter 159 Natural and Man-made Disasters Section 4 Buy a Leather Ball
Reorganize the troops, reduce the cadres of the organs, and correct the deviation of the land reform, good guy, this can make Yang stick busy, more tired than fighting, Lianxiang came to see him with the dog Danzi a few times, and saw that this big black round head was almost out of meat! The cheeks are also sunken, and the sideburns have gray hair!
People in their thirties have gray hair, which can only mean one thing, it's too hard work!
Lianxiang was distressed and slaughtered one of the hens that laid eggs in her aunt's house, stewed chicken soup in a crockpot and sent it to Kawaguchi Town, she originally wanted to move back to live, and she could take care of Yang Bangzi sooner or later, but Yang Bangzi disagreed, he is now staying in the sub-district of the town office and the office of the administrative office, how can he have time to go home.
After drinking the chicken soup, he chewed all the bones and crushed them, wiped his mouth, and took out a few pieces of ocean from his arms, this is the salary of half a year that has just been paid, and he, the commander of the division, took the lead in halving the salary, and he left a word and waited for Lianxiang.
hugged the child, hugged the lotus fragrance, and then left again! The telegram received in the first half of the day, no one expected it, the deal in Shunping County was negotiated!
The telegram sent by Hong Mei didn't say how it was negotiated, but it was said that the other party offered 10,000 oceans and let go of the defense area for a whole night, what does Brigade Commander Hou mean by this, how much ability you have in the Eighth Road, how much ability you can use, you can transport a million catties of grain in one night is also 10,000 oceans, and you can transport a pound of grain over 10,000 oceans, only this once, next time you don't need to talk!
Now Hong Mei took Yang Xinyu, hehe, that is, Hongyu, has gone to Baoding, and wants to go to Mr. Zhu to discuss the matter of buying grain, and the telegram said that Yang Xinyu is out of the money to buy grain! The money to buy the road is also out of her!
Oh, my God! This woman is really rich! When Yang Bangzi saw the telegram at that time, the few pieces of broken ocean in his pocket were not yet hot. Look at a woman. As soon as it was shot, it was tens of thousands of oceans. It's unexpected!
Hong Mei asked Yang Bangzi to move his troops to the east of Shunping County as much as possible, waiting for the grain to arrive so that he could meet the blockade area of the devils.
This does not arrange for the troops to assemble, Lianxiang is here, and the province is on the march to say hello again, just here to make out a farewell to the dog, before parting with the dog Danzi and Yang Bangzi said that they wanted a ball, this kid came to the town and saw the cadres of the agency playing basketball. I want one too.
Yang Bangzi agreed without jumping, and promised to come back this time to bring a ball back to Goudanzi.
The troops took the line of Niangzishen Village to Hekou Township through the military camp town of the sixth division, and when they passed the military camp town, Yang Bangzi also deliberately went to find Zhou Donggua, but he didn't expect this old boy to go to Taipingzhuang, not at home, or Yang Bangzi could still drink mixed wine.
After three days of walking, when they were preparing to cross the Tang River in the village of Shema, it was already evening, and the troops all asked if they were camping on the spot. Tianming crossed the river again, but Yang Bangzi did not agree. He meant that he was about to arrive in the enemy-occupied area, and after walking all night, he would camp in Langshan Village west of Baiyun before dawn, and it would not be easy for him to be discovered by the devil's reconnaissance plane.
The chief decided to cross the Tang River at night, who would dare not listen! A few of the newly assigned student cadres still read "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone", and mistakenly regarded this Tang River as easy water!
As soon as the troops tried to cross, they learned that the river was turbulent, and it was difficult for horses to cross, and there was no rain in March due to the drought, but the Tang River reached the lower reaches of the river, and the amount of water was still very sufficient.
Don't look at the weather when the grass grows and the warbler flies in April, late at night in the mountains, the cold wind is still blowing, and the student soldiers are reading again! "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of paths and people disappear"!
The troops marched in a hurry and came to the banks of the Don River. Most of the soldiers were so far away from home for the first time, and when they saw the wider river for the first time, they all watched the gurgling river with curiosity and nervousness. As the saying goes, "Fear of water from afar, fear of ghosts from afar", many people who have never seen water before inevitably increase their sense of mystery and fear.
Fortunately, people knew in advance that the water was not deep, not that the horses could not cross, but that the individual was not happy, and now the troops in front had pulled a thick rope in the river, and everyone could pull the rope to wade over, and at the sound of the order, the soldiers quickly took off their trousers, put their pants and guns and ammunition on their heads, and crossed the river with a rope in one hand.
The cold river water and the biting cold wind were indeed quite torturous, but the soldiers saw that Commander Yang didn't pull the rope, and led the horse step by step to pass steadily after a while, so they all sped up their feet to cross the river.
You have to wade to the other side as fast as you can, put on cotton pants immediately, and bake on the fire to feel warm all over. Many comrades wore cotton trousers, and after being soaked with water, they went ashore with difficulty, shivering from the cold, so they had to light the firewood and grass in the field and dry the cotton trousers before wearing them. After all the men and horses had crossed, it was almost dawn, but fortunately this area was far away from the enemy's stronghold, and the whole regiment had to cross the Tang River without danger.
When crossing the river, there were two small episodes, one was in the river crossing, a little hygienist was suddenly swept down by the torrent and couldn't get up, and was swept away by the river downstream, at the critical moment, several veterans chased from the shore for a long time, before going into the water to intercept the little guy and pull him ashore.
Another episode is an unpleasant one. An instructor who had just graduated from the training class and was appointed as an instructor in the company of a political work cadre, when others crossed the river, he rode on the back of a pack mule, which was already carrying two bullet boxes on his back, which was already very heavy, and the instructor's weight was overwhelmed, and when he walked to the center of the river, suddenly the horse lost its front hooves and fell down.
The instructor who usually talks about politics was also thrown into the water and became a chicken in the soup, and the veteran next to him sarcastically mocked him: The instructor usually speaks better than he sings, why don't he lead by example today? Some say that pack mules also know how to punish mouths. The instructor walked ashore in a state of embarrassment. After that, his rhetoric was no longer heard.
Yang Bangzi stood on the opposite bank and watched the team crossing the river, and said to the two vultures, this soldier can't learn how to fart when he is locked up at home every day, so he has to train people for a long time, and after this trip, they are all successful!
After arriving at Wolf Mountain Village before dawn, we scattered the soldiers and hid them, although this area is our territory, it belongs to the marginal area, and the devil's troops often come to disturb it. Yang Bangzi didn't want to exchange fire with the devil's small force and expose the large army, so he left a company in the village, and the other troops scattered to rest and hide in the ravine outside the village.
The commander of the guerrilla detachment of the 6th Division in this area had long received an order from his superiors that the main force of Yang Bangzi and a regiment was to carry out tasks in this area. I waited at the entrance of the village early. Waited to see Yang Bangzi. After saluting, hold hands and don't scatter.
Yang Bangzi didn't expect that the head of the guerrilla detachment he had heard of in the Sixth Division was so young, and his lips were still finely fluffy! When I asked about my age, I was only twenty years old! It's been five years since I fought devils!
Don't underestimate this hairless detachment leader! He is not only famous in the Sixth Division, but also registered in the Military Region! This kid's surname is Fan, and his nickname is Fan Daring! It's bold enough!
Fan Daring is actually the same as the ancient chivalrous warriors, very fierce and very aggressive. His detachment was the best at marching. He is especially good at night marching. He said that he would fight wherever he wanted, thirty miles and fifty miles, and he would arrive in a blink of an eye, saying that he would take any stronghold, and he would capture it with his hands, which made the Japanese devils take care of one thing and lose the other, and they were anxious.
Seriously, the Japanese devils also learned from him and learned to run long distances. On one occasion, the Anti-Enemy Drama Troupe of the Military Region performed in Hekou Township, the Sixth Division. The Japanese devils made an eighty-mile run and surrounded them in two ways. At that time, the unit that Commander Huang could immediately catch was Fan Daring's detachment.
Immediately ordered them to march quickly to relieve the siege. On the phone, he said: "Rescue the actors." One can't be lost! Fan's bold team ran to the accident site. He asked his fighters: "Male actors pull one fighter at a time, actresses can't run, and carry them out on their backs!" ”
When they arrived, the encirclement of the Japanese devils had already closed, and they were fighting fiercely with the garrison troops guarding the village. That's a hail of bullets! At that time, the Japanese devils were also stunned, they never expected that Fan Daring would have this hand, he really dared to rush into the encirclement, and he also reported his name while rushing! Don't say that Fan is really bold, the actors have all been rescued, and no one has been lost!
Others are also fighting Japan, Fan Daring is also fighting Japan, Fan Daring beats the Japanese devils convincingly, calling himself a "friend".
At that time, a Japanese wing commander in the Shunping area of the garrison fought with Fan Daring many times, don't look at the number of people and good weapons, but he didn't take advantage of it, but was ambushed by Fan Daring several times. The co-captain also had a whim, and suddenly wrote a letter to Fan Daring, which read: "I admire Captain Fan very much, and I want to meet with Captain Fan, I wonder if I can agree?" This kind of words are also very polite.
Fan's bold chivalrous spirit was immediately displayed. At the end of his letter, he said, "I am willing to teach", set the time and place, and the last one was: "Waiting below, Fan is bold." "The wing captain brought an interpreter, unarmed, and really came. The soldiers asked: "There are two devils here, do you want to fight?" ”
Fan Daring glared and said, "Don't fight! This is a guest, so we should treat each other with courtesy. The two met, saluted each other, shook hands, and then sat down on the earthen kang in the rural hut. The co-captain first said a lot of words about how to admire Captain Fan, and the two chatted!
While chatting, Fan Daring ordered the cooks to fry a few dishes. The cook asked, "What's the noise?" Fan Daring glared and said: "It's scrambled eggs, scrambled tofu, remember to stir-fry dried beans again, it's delicious, don't let the little devil say it's unpalatable." The cook asked again, "What kind of wine?" Fan Daring glared again and said, "You still need to ask!" White dry. ”
At the wine table, the devil and Fan Daring talked about everything except the war, mainly greeting each other, how many people there were at home, and so on.
According to Fan's later description, the wing captain was probably a gentleman, at least very stylish, and the translation said that he knew Chinese and was familiar with ancient Chinese classics. Sitting across from him, Fan Daring was a typical Chinese peasant. The family is a middle peasant, and his father is a rural teacher.
Captain Fan is stout, unusually honest, he has studied for a few years, and he is not good at talking, but he just said: "It is a great honor to meet today, please drink, please have a vegetable ......" The translator asked: "Captain Wing, did Captain Fan marry a daughter-in-law?" "Captain Fan's face was almost red, he was only 19 years old at that time, and he was not married.
Seriously speaking, this is a very vivid, very profound, and very unique scene in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan. A Japanese gentleman and a Chinese peasant fought inextricably, and took the time to sit down, toast each other, and drink heartily. The translator said that the Wing Commander has a deep understanding of China's history and geography.
This kind of so-called "China pass" can be found everywhere in the world. They know all kinds of things in China, but there is one thing that they don't understand, and this is the Chinese peasantry. All the foreigners who came to China only saw the Chinese coolies on the docks, but they did not understand the peasants under the production mode of Oriental Asia. They were all defeated at the hands of these simple peasants. All foreign, Western things, are not exempt. The softness and strength of this agricultural culture, or the softness of the strong, is extremely magical...... How can the imperialists of the West and the East know such a high thing?
When the co-captain was about to break up, he said: "Captain Fan, if you need anything, my brother will definitely help and do his best." Fan Daring was actually a bit of a joke, saying, "I need a crooked machine gun and two boxes of ammunition." The co-captain said, "It will be done." "In the fierce war between the two sides, this kind of joke is rare in ancient and modern China and abroad, who knows that the wing captain is full of words.
A few days later, the forward post reported: "Two devils, with a few people, waving white flags, entered the mountain. Fan boldly ordered: "Since it is flying a white flag, don't fight." Look what they're up to. When I entered the mountain, I realized that two Japanese soldiers took turns carrying a Japanese-made crooked machine gun, and four civilians behind them, carrying two boxes of ammunition.
Receiving these things, Fan Daring was very happy, and kept saying: "Enough friends, enough friends." After inviting the two Japanese soldiers to dinner, Fan Jintang wrote a reply letter meaning "received" and handed it to the two Japanese soldiers.
The two Japanese soldiers spoke in half-baked Chinese for a long time before they could explain the meaning clearly: "The order of the joint captain is to send the things to Captain Fan, so that there is no need to go back, even if we flee, if we really want to go back, we will be shot...... This stumped Fan Jintang. Only later did I remember that I sent them to the division, and the sixth division later sent two Japanese soldiers to the military region.
On the phone, Commander Nie said: "For such a big matter, you Fan Daring neither asked for instructions nor reported it, you are really not small!" Fan boldly smiled. Later, he said to people: "A Japanese wants to see me, what is there to report this?" This kind of thing seemed to him to be commonplace.
Yang Bangzi likes such a master, do heroes cherish heroes, don't look at the age is much younger than themselves, but the temper is right, this is not on the wine table, Lao Bai drank it, and worshiped the handle, Yang Bangzi is going to pull Fan boldly into the gang with the strength of wine, let him do it, at least give a battalion commander!
Fan Daring was not happy, he said that he was the most suitable guerrilla leader, he was imaginative, he could toss the devil as much as he wanted, and he was too panicked to be tied up in the regular army, in fact, he thought about it, there were too many rules in the army, how could he be a guerrilla at ease!
After living in Langshan Village for three days in a row, Fan Daring led the guerrilla detachment to toss around Shunping County, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the devils in the county town and not sending troops to Langshan Village.
Three days later, Hong Mei's telegram arrived again, and the telegram said that Mr. Zhu and the fourth wife of the Zhao family got 150,000 catties of corn through their relationship, and also got 50,000 catties of fine grain from Jizhong.
Yang Bangzi thought about it, and asked him to call back to tell Hong Mei, and inform Secretary Zhang of the underground party in Baoding about this matter, and let him deal with the matter of this Hengshan devil, and when will the grain be shipped?
The telegram that came back said that the grain would be shipped from Baoding the day after tomorrow, and arrived in Shunping on the same day, and that it would start to cross the blockade line at night, and that she and Yang Xinyu would escort the car back, and that they would send someone back tomorrow to connect with you.
When replying to the telegram at the end, Yang Bangzi asked the dispatcher to add a sentence: "Buy a ball and bring it back, remember to remember!" "The newspaper operator is still curious, what kind of code words are there between the head of the regiment and the secretary, and he also buys a leather ball and comes back! (To be continued......)
