Mao Weiguo was not called this name before July 7, 1937, he had a beautiful jade name, Mao Yu. But after the outbreak of the July Seven Incident, when the climax of the national War of Resistance came, he resolutely changed Mao Yu to Mao Weiguo, and the meaning was naturally to protect the family and defend the country.

However, he was only 16 years old at the time, and he did not meet the standards for military service when he was in high school, and unfortunately missed the opportunity to join the army. Of course, even if he turned 18 years old, the elders of the family did not support him to join the army.

Of course, it's not that the Mao family doesn't understand the truth that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and there is no small family where everyone comes from. The reason why he did not support Mao Weiguo to be a soldier was only one reason, the Mao family thought that Mao Weiguo's body was too thin, a typical scholar, who couldn't hold a knife and couldn't carry a gun, how to protect his family and defend the country.

They think that Mao Weiguo's studies are quite good, and he should continue to study, and there is more than one way out to protect his family and defend the country. Today's China does not lack big soldiers, but real technical talents. If Huaxia has a decent industry, can it make guns and cannons, so that the little devils are so arrogant?

So Mao Weiguo could only continue to study, but he was competitive enough, and he was admitted to the National Changsha Provisional University a year later. Please don't underestimate this temporary university, because it is really awesome, it is actually a joint university composed of three universities, Tsinghua University, Peking University and Nankai University, which is the predecessor of the future Southwest Associated University.

After studying at Southwest Associated University for two years, Mao Weiguo obtained the qualification of a public student with excellent results, and in early 1940, he went to the University of Paris in France via the Soviet Union to study mechanically.

At that time, Mao Weiguo's only idea was to learn France's advanced mechanical design and machining technology, and return to the motherland to build a first-class military industry in the future. It's just that what this young man who is dedicated to serving his country did not expect was that less than a few months after arriving in Paris, France surrendered!

At that time, Mao Weiguo had only just entered the school for a long time, and it could even be said that he had just gained a foothold, and the sudden defeat and surrender of France caught him off guard. During that time, he wrote in his diary: "Is it true that fascism is so powerful? Even France, once the first army in Europe and a world power, was easily defeated, how could the poor and white motherland resist the invasion of the Japanese fascists? ”

During that period of time, Mao Weiguo was really depressed, he couldn't see hope, he felt that the future of the country was dark, and it was really muddy to say that he was unceremonious. More than a month passed like this, and it was not until that day that he regained a little regain his vigor after he overheard a speech by the French Communist Party.

Since then, he has been present whenever the communist group within the University of Paris has gathered. He was soon impressed by this new way of thinking, especially after the French Communist Party put forward the idea of resisting to the end, and he realized that France did not lack the will to resist.

From that moment on, Mao Weiguo regained his confidence, not only studied hard, but also actively participated in the internal activities of the French Communist Party, and about half a year later, he was developed into a probationary party member. At that time, Mao Weiguo really wanted to make a big fight and fight with the French Communist Party, but he soon found that it was not so easy.

The living conditions of the French resistance, including the French Communist Party, were very dangerous, and even the rally had to take a certain risk. Not to mention helping the Allies gather and transmit intelligence and engage in sabotage activities.

Of course, a probationary party member like Mao Weiguo is not qualified to participate in this kind of secret activities, and he is still on the periphery, but even if he is on the periphery, he has to take a lot of risks. At the beginning of January 1941, he was arrested by the Gestapo while attending a meeting of the communist group at the University of Paris!

This arrest directly led to two consequences, one was that Mao Weiguo was expelled from the University of Paris, and the other was spent in the black prison of the Gestapo for half a year. In his own words, "This is a furnace, and I have been re-smelted in the furnace!" ”

Don't look at Mao Weiguo's words, but in fact the situation is still quite difficult, the Nazis originally discriminated against the Communist Party and tried every means to persecute the Communist Party. And Mao Weiguo is especially bad because he is still a Chinese. For the racist Nazis, the yellow race was an inferior race that should be eliminated naturally.

Anyway, Mao Weiguo's days in prison were like years, he was beaten every once in a while, and he was humiliated by the jailers from time to time, which was worse than death. But the young man persevered with great tenacity, and of course he had to thank his fellow Communist inmates who were also imprisoned.

In prison in the Gestapo, Mao Weiguo ended his probationary period as a probationary party member and became an honorable member of the French Communist Party, and more importantly, he learned many things that would not be taught in books.

After being released from prison, Mao Weiguo faced an embarrassing situation, at this time, Huaxia had almost lost all channels of foreign communication except for the Hump Route. Naturally, contact with France was severed, and he became a refugee with no way out, having been deported.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of refugees in France at that time, and Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Poland all had a large number of refugees pouring into France. What's more, the French Communist Party would not abandon its comrades, and soon with the help of the French Communist Party, Mao Weiguo once again gained a firm foothold in France, and this time he became an honorable resistance fighter.

The desire to fight the enemy with a gun, which was not realized at home, was realized in France, and I have to say that fate is such a wonderful thing. However, being a resistance fighter is also quite dangerous, not only to face the pursuit and encirclement of the Gestapo, but also to do everything possible to fight for survival!

It is impossible for a resistance fighter like Mao Weiguo to wander around the city in normal times, because it is too dangerous and too dazzling. In normal times, they usually operate in the countryside, and when the Nazis come to encircle and suppress them, they will hide in the mountains. How difficult the conditions were at that time, let's see what Mao Weiguo said: "I arrived at the guerrilla camp in a moonlight...... Most of the comrades were dressed in civilian clothing, and the only thing that could show their identity was probably the rifle they carried on their shoulders...... As for the old military uniforms, in general, only leaders and leaders are qualified to wear them. ”

"It's hard for ordinary people to imagine what made us run to this kind of deep mountains and old forests, comrades have done everything before, some are shoemakers, some are workers or farmers, there are tailors and even underage children. But here we are all warriors! ”

It's easy to become a fighter, but it's hard to survive, Mao Weiguo They were the most lacking in weapons and ammunition at that time, according to the standards set by the KGB for guerrillas, if a guerrilla team wants to really play a destructive role, each six-person team (standard team mode) needs at least two submachine guns, two semi-automatic pistols and 12 grenades, in addition, each submachine gun needs at least 25 magazines or 300 rounds per month, and the pistol also needs at least 25 magazines of ammunition capacity.

And if you wanted to get these back then, in addition to going to battle and seizing them, you could only rely on external assistance. Of course, before the United States entered the war, the only channels of aid were Britain and the Soviet Union, and the British were too busy to take care of themselves at that time, so naturally they did not have much ability to aid the resistance, while the Soviet Union did have that ability, but it was too far away and could not handle it. In the end, the only one who could really give aid to the French Communist Party was Li Xiaofeng, which was the only stable source of aid for the French Communist Party.

Mao Weiguo's favorite use is the Uzi submachine gun of NORINCO, although this submachine gun is not very accurate, but it is small and easy to carry, can be put in a backpack, suitcase, and even can be stuffed into an overcoat, for the resistance that emphasizes concealment, this is the most suitable self-defense weapon. Of particular importance was the use of 9 mm parabellum rounds, which were widely used in France and Germany and were readily available.

After surviving the difficult years of 1941 and 1942, with the entry of the United States into the war, and especially with the establishment of the worldwide anti-fascist alliance, the living conditions of underground resistance organizations in various countries began to improve greatly. In particular, because of Li Xiaofeng's key care, the armed forces led by the French Communist Party have developed particularly rapidly.

In 1944, Mao Weiguo finally returned to Paris after a long absence, for the simple reason that with the help of the KGB, his identity was "bleached", relying on the magic of a certain immortal forgery technology, a large number of members of the resistance wanted by the Gestapo obtained a new legal identity, for example, Mao Weiguo is now holding a French document, and the name on it is Henry. Mao, French-Chinese, was a small businessman by profession.

Anyway, even if these documents are checked by the Gestapo, they will not be exposed, which allows the resisters to act unscrupulously, as long as they are not caught by the Gestapo, even if their identities are exposed, they can quickly change to a new one. All in all, one of the most important reasons why the French Communist Party has such a large influence in Paris is that it is overwhelmed by the proliferation of fake documents.

Mao Weiguo returned to Paris in March 1944, when he was already a middle-level cadre of the Resistance, and he was good at making ammunition and bombs using local methods, and he was one of the few explosives experts within the French Communist Party. In 1943 alone, five bridges, eight mines, and 12 factories were destroyed by Mao Weiguo's bombs. For the Paris uprising, an elite bomber like him was indispensable.

"Mao, your comrades are mainly responsible for sabotaging the railway, and my request is that on the day of the uprising, not a single German military column can enter Paris, which is essential for the uprising!"

Mao Weiguo happily accepted this task, as long as he could hit the enemy, he was willing to do it, especially this time the scene was so big, he couldn't wait. After leaving the temporary headquarters of the rebel army, Mao Weiguo gathered his "shrimp soldiers and crab generals".

"Comrades, the higher-ups have decided to launch an uprising to liberate Paris in the near future, and the moment we have been waiting for is coming!"

This opening sentence was unanimously cheered, and for the youth of France, this moment was too long to wait. The big guys can't wait!

Mao Weiguo hurriedly pressed his palm, signaling the big guy to be quiet, now is not the time to be happy, the closer to the dawn, the more vigilant you must be, it is too uneconomical to fall before the dawn. And there has been a lesson in blood before, although the French people worship freedom, not every Frenchman will not succumb to the obscenity of the Nazis. For example, Mao Weiguo was arrested for the first time, what was the reason? It was because the neighbors at the rally site had snitched against the Nazis.

Not only this time, but also Mao Weiguo was almost arrested because a family next to the secret hiding place reacted to the Nazis: "Our neighbors always use the flush toilet so often that it is impossible to imagine that one person can go to the toilet so many times." ”

Obviously, the resistance was not careful, and the big guys took turns to go to the toilet, which attracted the suspicion of the neighbors. Fortunately, Mao Weiguo's friends were smart enough to explain to the Nazis that he had no choice but to vomit and diarrhea, so he escaped.

Anyway, Mao Weiguo would never allow himself to fall on such an inconspicuous mistake again, so he asked other comrades to be vigilant on the one hand, and quickly assigned tasks on the other hand: "We are divided into four squadrons, each squadron is responsible for an area, my request is to blow up the railway cleanly, and never let Nazi reinforcements enter Paris!" ”

After the detailed assignment of the task, Mao Weiguo dismissed the group, and it was still too ostentatious for these people to get together in front of him, although the big guy's documents were legal, but the Nazis were not stupid people who could fool around. If they catch you, wouldn't it be a big deal?

When all the comrades left, it was already late at night, and Mao Weiguo, who had been busy all day, finally won a little private time for himself. It was only when he lay on that little marching bed with his beloved Sophie that he had time to whisper.

"Mao, will we succeed?"

Mao Weiguo gently kissed his beloved wife's forehead, and said in a very soft but firm voice: "We will definitely succeed, justice is on our side, isn't it?" ”

When Sophie curled up in Mao Weiguo's arms and fell asleep, Mao Weiguo was not as easy as he just said, because this job was indeed too dangerous. As the Germans were defeated on the battlefield, the Nazis seemed to know that the final moment was approaching and began to go more and more crazy. In just one week, more resistance fighters have died than in the past month combined. Mao Weiguo is really not sure that he will succeed, maybe tomorrow, he will die?

Mao Weiguo hugged Sophie in his arms tightly, greedily sucking his wife's body fragrance, maybe this was the last time he indulged in this charming taste. Mao Weiguo felt that the most successful thing in his coming to France was not to join the French Communist Party, nor to become a resistance fighter, nor to eliminate many German devils. For him, the greatest success is to gain true love, and it is not easy to find a heart-to-heart lover in a foreign country......

Mao Weiguo slept very lightly and woke up very early, but when he woke up, Sophie in his arms was gone, but he could smell a strong aroma of French breakfast, needless to say, Sophie was cooking.

Breakfast was very simple, two slices of toast that were just baked, fried eggs, and then the fermented bean curd that Sophie learned to make after asking Mao Weiguo for advice. Mao Weiguo's favorite way to eat is to spread a piece of bean curd on toast, which is the best delicacy for him.

The two of them finished the breakfast in silence, and no one spoke, but they were silent. It wasn't until Mao Weiguo packed up his tools and weapons and was about to walk out of the house that Sophie rushed up and hugged him tightly and gave him a deep kiss.

After a long time, the lips parted, and Sophie asked affectionately, "Mao, do you remember our agreement?" ”

Of course, Mao Weiguo still remembers their previous agreement, which was the promise they made when they exchanged rings for the party flag and officially got married, Mao Weiguo and Sophie swore at the same time that after liberating France, they would go together to liberate China, so that the proletariat of the world could be liberated and ushered in a new life!

Mao Weiguo knows that this is his beloved wife's deepest attachment to him, and he will do his best to achieve this, and he believes that he will be able to do it. After kissing Sophie deeply once, Mao Weiguo resolutely walked out of the house with great determination.

Two hours later, he had already appeared on the outskirts of Paris, hiding his comrades in the groves.

"Have you figured out the route and time of the German devil patrol?" Mao Weiguo asked solemnly.

"We've been observing for three days, the devil's patrol is about twenty people each, and they go back and forth for twenty minutes at a time, and the shift is at seven in the morning and six in the afternoon, and they will go to dinner at twelve o'clock at noon."

Mao Weiguo took out a small notebook, recorded these valuable data one by one, and asked while writing: "How many machine guns and submachine guns are there?" How soon will it take for the nearest reinforcements to arrive? ”

"The patrol has two MG-34s, eight MP-38 submachine guns, and the nearest reinforcements are five kilometers away, which can be reached in about fifteen minutes by car."

Mao Weiguo went through the data again, then folded the notebook and ordered: "We are divided into three teams, the first team will go with me to blast the railway, the second team and the third team will be on guard at both ends, and try to buy time after discovering the German devils, if we can lure them away, it would be better!" ”

No one had any objection to Mao Weiguo's orders, because in the past three years, this comrade from the Far East had already told people with practical actions how reliable he was.

The actual action also proved the reliability of Mao Weiguo, when there was a loud bang, the railway, including the roadbed, was blown open. And before that, Mao Weiguo had already moved with his group members.

"Every minute is precious now, and we still have a lot of work to do!" Mao Weiguo pedaled the bicycle vigorously while explaining to the team members on the left and right: "There are still a few blasting points waiting for us, and the enemy will react soon, we must rush to the enemy to complete the task!"
