In the autumn of 1946, the early risers ran back to Tunzi and said, "Go and see, there is a big alley in the sorghum field in the west!" ”

The people of Dongguantun ran to the west to see, didn't they, I don't know who waded through the sorghum field, and they just walked out of the sorghum field. Just after the rain, the ground was full of mud and sticky, and there were a lot of sticky soles on both sides of the road.

In the afternoon, I heard that Liu Bocheng's team had passed through here and went to work on seals.

At that time, there was a tug-of-war, today you come in, tomorrow he will come in, the common people can't remember those teams, they all call the Kuomintang team the Central Army, and the Communist Party team the Eighth Route Army.

My third sister-in-law was eight years old at the time, my grandmother's house was in Li Hutong, and my grandmother's house was in Cangji. The Eighth Route Army opened Li Hutong, and the Central Army ran to Cangji, so that the common people also ran to Cangji. The Eighth Route Army went to intercept the common people, intercepted more than half of them, and then pursued the Central Army. I heard that the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army and the common people died a lot.

The Central Army on the plane opened fire when they saw a large number of people. The Eighth Route Army wore a circle of wicker on his head, looking down from the plane like a tree, and lining up like a grove. The people on the plane knew what was going on, and the plane flew very low, more than a room high. When the plane came, it passed on the roof, and the gunfire was so loud that the people in the house quickly covered their ears and did not dare to leave the house.

The child cries, shouts thirst and hunger, and the mother has no choice, spits in the child's mouth, and some let the child gnaw on the raw Beijing melon (note: pumpkin, gourd-shaped, also called square melon).

There is no longer a war, and my mother said to Da Cun: "You are at home with your grandmother, I am worried about your grandparents, and I will go to Li Hutong to have a look." ”

The mother just walked on the front foot, and the big inch followed with the back foot.

I was almost at Li Hutong and saw a lot of dead people. There was a young woman who died in the willows, face up, with a burden next to her, and a child, about ten months old, he didn't know that his mother was dead, and he was still lying on her mother to breastfeed.

The more he walked, the more scared he became, and when he walked to his grandmother's house, he fell ill and had malaria. First of all, it was cold, covered with three quilts, and it was shivering; Later, it was hot, and it was still hot without covering anything. Tossing during the day and tossing at night, I was sick for more than 20 days before I got better.

Pang Guangqian of Baishitun was working in the field, and the Central Army saw it, and two soldiers went in and pulled him out of the sorghum field.

Guangqian pretended to be dumb, and he didn't speak, and the two soldiers stretched out their hands to hit, even hitting and kicking, and said while beating: "I let you pretend to be dumb, I'll see when you pretend to be!" ”

Guang Qian saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, covered his head and said, "The boss spares his life!" Stop it! Stop it! ”

One of the soldiers laughed and kicked him again: "Look for a fight!" If I don't hit you, you have to pretend! ”

An official waved his hand, and the soldier stopped, and this person asked, "Is there a hundred hours ahead?" ”

Guang Qian said, "Yes." ”

The man said, "Let's go, let's go there." ”

When the Central Army arrived at Baishitun, they asked the people to pour houses for them, but the people did not dare not fall, and all the families lived in one house. Not only did they occupy the house, but the Central Army also built artillery towers on the roofs of the houses, which crushed the houses. The door of the house is taken down for you and taken out to the bunker. The houses and walls on the periphery of Tunzi have been dug holes for you, and they have been used as cannon holes to prepare for war.

The next day, two men came from the warehouse and went directly to the official to complain, saying, "Your team brought two women from the warehouse, and my daughter-in-law let your people snatch them." ”

The official pulled down his face and asked his subordinates to check immediately and find out two people, one was a petty official and the other was a soldier.

Hearing that the officer was a regimental commander, he ordered the two men to be shot.

The two of them knelt down and didn't leave, kowtowed and said, "Commander, spare us!" We don't dare anymore! ”

The regiment commander said: "The big war is ahead, you have no military discipline, and you still have the face to beg for mercy, pull it out immediately!" ”

The two men were shot that day and buried in the ground of Pang Fajing's house.

In the spring of the second year, sorghum was planted in this land, and where the dead were buried, the sorghum trees were more than half a meter high, the sorghum straw was thick, the sorghum ears were large, and the sorghum particles were also large. In my hometown, the sorghum field has to spin three sorghum leaves, that is, the sorghum leaves below are torn off, and three sorghum leaves are left on the top for ventilation.

Pang Fajing was eight years old that year, and his father asked him to go to the sorghum field to spin sorghum leaves, and he said, "I won't go." ”

Dad asked, "Why?" ”

Fa Jing said, "There are dead people there, and I am afraid." ”

Dad said, "What are you afraid of?" Cowardly men are out of business! ”

Dad forced him to go, Fa Jing didn't dare not go, and he was scared and trembling whenever he walked to the sorghum field. When he came to the place where the dead man was buried, his hands did not look like hands, his feet did not look like feet, and his head was big. But the cow loves to eat fresh sorghum leaves, this is his job, and if he doesn't do it well, he is afraid of being beaten.

Two days later, the Eighth Route Army entered Baishitun, and many of them were new recruits, not very old, some were seventeen or eighteen years old, some were eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were all like students.

My mother asked a recruit, "Where are you from?" ”

The recruit said, "Feicheng, I belong to Feicheng." ”

I heard that they would be trained for forty days before going to war.

A few days later, the Central Army came again.

The Kuomintang troops were well armed, and there were planes bombing them. The ranks of the Communists hid during the day and fought at night.

When the war was fought at night, the Kuomintang had flares to illuminate, one by one, and when they saw it, they fired their cannons.

Those soldiers from Feicheng didn't give them guns, one person gave them two hands **, told them to go to the front line, threw out two hands ** and ran back. Most of the creeps didn't come back.

At that time, there was a saying: I would rather die ten recruits than one veteran.

There is also a saying: There are ordinary people who will never die, and there will be the Eighth Route Army.

Dongguantun Wang Qiulan was nine years old that year, and when she was playing the chapter sewing, she was living in the house of her grandmother, and she and her grandmother were lying on the south wall of the hall.

In those days, the guns on both sides couldn't distinguish a sound, and the machine guns were fired from the plane, croaking, croaking, and throwing ** from the plane.

Qiu Languang heard the swishing and swishing of the gun, but he couldn't see the gun, the glass bottle on the table was broken, and the room was clanging. Boom, a shell fell on the donkey shed, knocking it down and killing the donkey.

Later, a few people from outside the courtyard shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" Come out! ”

was so scared that none of the three dared to come out.

The gunfire tightened, and the people outside shouted, "Someone in the house, come out quickly!" If you don't come out, you will throw ** into the house! ”

The three of them came out.

Outside, there were several Central Army, and one of the soldiers asked, "Is there anyone else in the house?" ”

Grandpa said, "No one else." ”

The soldier threw a hand in the house and blew up the house.

There was nowhere to hide for the three of them. There was also a fence wall in the yard, and three people sat under the fence wall.

I don't know where a hand came from, and I knocked down the fence wall, and it landed in front of three people, and there was no sound. If it sounds, none of these three people will survive.

After three days and three nights of fighting, the territory of the Central Army became smaller and smaller, and it retreated to Tianjiajiamiao, surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. I heard that they had a radio station, so they asked the central army of Xiao Lou, Wang Hai, and Cao Siwangzhuang to come to the rescue, and the reinforcements rescued the group.

The chapter gap was opened, and the Eighth Route Army captured many of the Central Army, and many prisoners lived in Baishitun. I was nine years old that year, and I went out to see the excitement.

Eighteen Central Army Corps were all in the dumb house, standing in line. A man seemed to be an officer of the Eighth Route Army, who spoke to the captives: "If you want to do it with me, do it with me." If you don't want to do it with me, you just go home, I won't force you to stay! ”

The officer of the Eighth Route Army shouted: "If you are willing to do it with me, raise your hand!" ”

All those Central Army raised their hands.

He shouted again: "Raise your hands if you want to go home!" ”

Not a single one raised their hand.

The officer said, "I have to clear your waists, I am afraid that you have money to desert." ”

He began to rummage through things, turning over the bodies of the eighteen Central Army. After collecting their belongings, the officer said, "I will hand over these central tickets, gold and silver yuan, to my superiors for safekeeping." When the whole country is liberated, there will be no more wars, and everything will be returned to you. Go back to your dwellings. ”

In the courtyard of my house lived the prisoners of the Central Army. There were two captives who did not look like soldiers, one tall and one short.

The tall one asked, "Have you taken away your tweezers?" ”

The short man said, "Take it away." What about yours? ”

"Mine is gone."

"Where's yours?"

The tall one said, "My Dai pee on." ”

The short one said, "I'm wearing a big toe on my big toe." He told me to take off my shoes, and as soon as I took them off, I told him to see them and take them away. ”

After the stitches, there were dead people everywhere. The dead people, whose family went back to buy a coffin and buried it. There was a big pit at the west end of Zhangxi, and the dead Eighth Route Army and the Central Army were all pulled away by car and thrown into the pit. The wounded soldiers were carried away, the dead were gone, and there was a pool of blood left outside the village in Zhangsuzhuang Village. At first, there was a smell of blood in the sewing of the chapter, and after a few days, it stinked so much that it couldn't be smelled.

After finishing the chapters, I learned to sing twice, one is:

Calling the old lady,

Listen to me;

Drink your mouth of cold water,

Give you a full tank;

I said Auntie.

And one more singing is:

Thinking about the center, looking forward to the center,

The center came with a sweep;

Kill the pigs of the common people,

slaughtering the people's sheep,

Wives and sisters are suffering.

Later, every household made military shoes for the Eighth Route Army, and the president of the peasant association ordered: use the shoes of each man. This time, my sister-in-law suffered a loss, and the whole village was not as big as my brother's feet.

Military shoes from thousands of households were sent to the front line, and the Eighth Route Army no longer had to wear open-toed shoes.
