500 What is the will of the people?
Yuan County.
In the alley next to the teahouse, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian waited here according to the agreement with Shen Wenyue.
Waiting for boredom, the two chatted casually.
Zheng Tian said: "Xiao Wu, you kid has a sweet mouth, and you don't feel ashamed of calling reporter Shen one sister at a time." ”
Xiao Wu's nose was constant, and he said proudly: "You don't understand this, I call Reporter Shen sister, and I call Reporter Shen Ming'er a mother-in-law to our head of the group, hehe, isn't that head of the group our brother?" ”
Zheng Tian: "......"
"You're such a talent!"
"That's it!"
The two waited for less than an hour, and Shen Wenyue really appeared.
It turned out that Shen Wenyue had long expected that after she returned to see her father this time, she would most likely be detained at home by her father, so she explained in advance that Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were waiting for her in the alley outside the teahouse, and she would definitely escape.
"Xiao Wu, squad leader Zheng!" Shen Wenyue walked over, smiling like a flower, and said hello.
Xiao Wu was puzzled: "Sister, did you guess wrong?" Your father didn't lock you up? ”
Shen Wenyue shook her head and said with a smile: "It's closed, and the door is specially locked." ”
"And how did you escape?"
"It's very simple, I'm familiar with the road, I can think of four or five ways to escape from my house at any time, my father wants to lock me up, unless he can bear to break both legs of his good daughter." Shen Wenyue said proudly.
Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were speechless for a while.
Shen Wenyue said: "Xiao Wu, squad leader Zheng, I know that Captain Kong has explained to you, after escorting me back, you two will go to Commander Han next, right?" ”
Xiao Wu nodded.
Shen Wenyue's eyes showed a hint of excitement, "Right now, the Japanese army and the national army are still fighting in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the battle at this time is definitely more severe, and the guerrilla operations behind the enemy line are definitely more exciting, I want to trouble the two of you to take me with me."
"This, sister, we are mainly escorting you back this time, if you go to guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, it will be too dangerous." Xiao Wu admonished.
Shen Wenyue said: "I can be a reporter with the army, guerrilla warfare has always been behind the enemy line, obscure, in fact, I have always felt that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are behind the enemy line guerrilla warfare, and the deeds of persisting in resisting Japan should be reported and let the people know." ”
"In addition, as you have seen, our family is very rich, maybe I can use this as a link, if our guerrilla team lacks financial support, I think my father will definitely not refuse."
"In addition, I can also work as a propaganda officer for the guerrillas to reach out to the people, and I also helped with this work when I was in the Niukou Village base area."
Well, when it came to this, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian had to nod.
Of course, before leaving, Shen Wenyue said that she needed to go to Jixian County and return to the newspaper office to see the situation.
If the follow-up photographed materials can be distributed through newspapers, it will be extremely effective in awakening the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people in the occupied area and calling on the people to support the anti-Japanese resistance.
The three of them passed the investigation again and entered Ji County.
After returning to the newspaper, Shen Wenyue successfully met her colleague Yu Ming, that is, the male reporter who interviewed Kong Jie when the Independent Regiment dealt with the 251st Regiment of the National Army that secretly defected to the Japanese.
I remember that Shen Wenyue knew Kong Jie at the beginning, and it was Yu Ming who showed Shen Wenyue a photo of Kong Jie.
Because he didn't know the specific situation of the newspaper, for the sake of prudence, Zheng Tian asked Xiao Wu to go to the newspaper office to find Yu Ming, and Ming called him outside the newspaper office and met with Shen Wenyue in private.
Seeing Shen Wenyue's Yu Ming, his face was filled with joy and surprise, "Wenyue, you are finally back, everyone has been worried about you, you are really bold enough, you said that you were going to go behind enemy lines to interview the Eighth Route Army, and you disappeared the next day." ”
Shen Wenyue smiled: "Didn't I come back well?" By the way, there haven't been any accidents at the newspaper recently, right? ”
Yu Ming's face changed slightly, and he said: "I was about to tell you about this, after the national army's frontline position was lost, the Japanese army quickly attacked and occupied the county seat, and the officers and soldiers in the city ran away.
After the Japanese army occupied the county seat, in addition to controlling the city gate and military important places, they also went to various newspaper offices and recorded a register, and our newspaper office was no exception, and everyone's names were registered.
The traitor who led the team said that if we dared to publish unfavorable remarks against the Japanese army at will, everyone would be punished, and now the righteous people in the newspaper office are panicking, and there are many people who are scolding devils. ”
"However, the editor-in-chief explained to us in advance, and everyone tacitly ignored your existence, and Uncle Shen also passed on the news that your name was not registered."
"Wen Yue, go quickly, don't come to the newspaper office again!"
Shen Wenyue said: "What about you? What are you going to do? ”
Yu Mingdao: "The editor-in-chief said, the devils are watching closely at the moment, and we don't dare to publish some newspapers that resist Japan and save the country, but if we are asked to deliberately publish some newspapers that promote devils, we will not be willing, and it really won't work, the newspaper will be closed, and everyone will make their own livelihoods." ”
Shen Wenyue nodded, "Okay, I know." ”
Then, the two talked about the topic that Shen Wenyue really went to the base of the Eighth Route Army.
Yu Ming admired this, "Wen Yue, you, the recognized female madman of our newspaper, are indeed worthy of your reputation.
This Eighth Route Army base behind enemy lines, you said you would go, and as soon as you went, you encountered a large-scale sweep by the Japanese army.
We've heard a little bit about it, and we've been worried about you! ”
Shen Wenyue said with emotion: "Yes, I didn't expect it either, I just caught up." ”
"Captain Kong saw it, right? How's that, isn't it like I said, a great general? ”
When he said this, Yu Ming's eyes revealed a bit of fanaticism.
Shen Wenyue smiled and nodded, "When I was drunk, I picked up the lamp to look at the sword, and dreamed of blowing the horn and the battalion, this time I really saw it." ”
"What's next? What are you going to do? Don't tell me if you're going back to Shen Mansion and staying honestly, that's not the character of a female madman. Yu Ming joked.
Shen Wenyue didn't hide anything, "I'll go find the guerrillas, whether it's the National Army or the Eighth Route Army, as long as it's the guerrillas who are still fighting the Japanese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area!" ”
"Oh my God, you don't want to die?"
"I'm not going to fight, I'm just a reporter with the army, and I have to tell the people that even behind enemy lines, there are still units like guerrillas that fight bravely, and they have been holding on."
Yu Ming said helplessly: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything, anyway, your character is not something that others can say."
Speaking of which, I admire you more and more, and I really want to be as desperate as you are to do the interviews that a reporter should do, but I still have to take care of my old mother. ”
Shen Wenyue said: "Yu Ming, in fact, if you really want to do it, even if you are in the occupied area, you can't do anything. ”
"Oh, what do you say?"
"You can secretly publish some newspapers as a declaration of secretly calling on people with lofty ideals to secretly participate in anti-Japanese activities. On the side of the Eighth Route Army, in many county towns behind enemy lines, there were some such comrades who secretly assisted the comrades of the Eighth Route Army in their propaganda work. "Gu Di
"This ......" Yu Ming thought of the excitement and risk, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said: "You can get out of the way as a woman, I can't lose my manly face, Wen Yue, you're right, I will consider it seriously, in addition, if the guerrillas on your side need any help from the newspaper, I will definitely help." ”
"Good!" Shen Wenyue said.
After leaving the newspaper office, after purchasing food in the city for a few days, Shen Wenyue and the three of them left from Ji County.
The three ordinary people dressed up and completely left the county seat and left the control of the Japanese army, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that Shen Wenyue was a little at a loss as to where to go next.
Zheng Tian said: "If the guerrillas of Company Commander Han exist, most of them will be near some remote mountains and villages, if we want to find them, it is better to follow some villages to find them, we can always find out the whereabouts of some guerrillas, and the Japanese army's control over large and small villages outside the county is also relatively lax." ”
The three of them made up their minds and set out on their journey.
As Zheng Tian said, for the remote villages in the county's diplomacy, the Japanese army's control is relatively lax, and the current battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has not completely ended, and the little devil's attention is on the positions of the national army, and he doesn't pay much attention to the villages and people on the periphery.
Shen Wenyue and the three of them walked all the way, stopping for a while when they encountered some villages, and by the way inquired about whether there were any news of guerrillas, and along the way, they also saw the helplessness and impermanence of fate of the people living in the villages under the war.
The young and strong people in the village had either been forcibly conscripted by the national army and had fled, or there were no other relatives in the village.
Most of the people who stayed in the village were old people and children, and there was not much labor, and the hardships of the village could be imagined.
The villages outside the county town have no one to govern, but have become a place for unjust teams on all sides to act recklessly.
I probably think that if I don't rob, someone will always rob me.
"Guerrillas? Yes, yes, there were a few days ago, one by one, they were worse than bandits and bandits, they entered the village, and they robbed things without saying a word. ”
When passing through Xiaogu Village, Shen Wenyue inquired about a villager, and the villager said through gritted teeth.
"Aren't the guerrillas fighting devils? How could they rob the people of their things? Xiao Wu on the side couldn't help but ask, always feeling that this fellow had misunderstood something.
The fellow scolded: "What kind of devils, it's just a group of **, hungry wolves, even the bandits are not as good, and the bandits still know to leave us some food seeds!" These bastards saw what they were robbing, they couldn't hold the position in front, they were driven into the mountains by the devils, and they went into the village to grab a few times when they were fine, and they didn't see them fight the devils. ”
Zheng Tian said: "Is it the remnants of the national army that have been defeated from the frontline positions?" ”
The fellow said: "It's this group of white dogs." ”
Zheng Tian and the three of them were silent, and they were a little helpless when they left the village.
Who will have mercy on these people who are suffering in the midst of war?
Xiao Wu scolded on the road: "Which of the national army is a guerrilla? It is far from our guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and it is not a unit of the same nature at all. ”
Shen Wenyue was a little unable to accept such a fact.
She has been in the Kuomintang for many years, and she has also heard about many deeds of the national army bravely resisting Japan.
Coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the national military government, at least in the eyes of the people in the national control area, those soldiers of the national army are all good men who fought bloodily.
This time behind enemy lines, Shen Wenyue originally expected that the guerrillas left behind enemy lines by the national army would be able to bravely kill the enemy and resist the Japanese invaders like the Eighth Route Army.
The truth was a little disappointing to her.
From the words of the villagers who gritted their teeth, Shen Wenyue could feel the anger of the people against the guerrilla troops left behind enemy lines by the national army.
In the vicinity of the base area of the Eighth Route Army, not only the area around the base area of the independent regiment, but also some villages under the jurisdiction of some other regiments in the surrounding area.
Out of a comprehensive investigation, Shen Wenyue has visited both.
In those villages, the reputation of the Eighth Route Army troops in the villages was simply amazing.
"They will never take a stitch from our masses, and sometimes they will make IOUs when they need something."
"The Eighth Route Army is disciplined, the people's soldiers!"
Shen Wenyue has witnessed many times how the villagers of the local villages responded positively and took the initiative to cooperate when the troops of the Eighth Route Army were working in various villages in the root area.
The integration of military and civilian affairs can be seen almost everywhere in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.
The two sides made a verdict.
But after all, he did not see it with his own eyes, until he continued to march to some remote villages in search of the guerrillas.
Not long after, Shen Wenyue witnessed a time when the remnants of the national army entered the village and looted it, making the whole village restless.
At that time, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were helpless, and they were interrogated all the way, and the two of them had no weapons on them for a long time.
In the end, with the help of some fellow villagers, he hid in the house, and only then did he escape.
At this point, the truth and facts were in front of him, and Shen Wenyue finally believed the fact that the guerrillas of the national army were wantonly oppressing, coercing, and robbing the people behind enemy lines.
Then, after searching for more than two weeks, the food they brought was already exhausted, and the three of them relied on the help of villagers from some villages they met in the surrounding area, so they persevered.
During this period, I also heard some news one after another.
The Japanese offensive was fierce, and the Nationalist army had been losing and retreating, and many positions had been lost.
I heard that the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River was also controlled by the Japanese army, and the devils were controlling the direction at both ends, sweeping back and forth in the mountains to clear the remaining remnants of the national army.
Until the range of the Taiyue Mountains, in a remote village called Luoshan Village, when Xiao Wu said: "We are looking for guerrillas, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, have you heard of the Eighth Route Army?" Not a unit of the national army. ”
The fellow nodded and said, "I know, I saw that army a few days ago, not far from the village.
We thought it was a white dog, and we were shocked.
They fought a battle there, wiped out some of the Japanese puppet soldiers, and when they passed through the village, they also gave some of the captured grain to everyone.
They said that they were the Eighth Route Army, and they came here to establish an anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines and fight devils.
That's what you're looking for, right? ”
Xiao Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "It's them, fellow countryman, do you know where they are now?" ”
The fellow shook his head, "I don't know where it is, it's probably around here." ”
"Thank you, you've helped us a lot!"
After discovering the news of Han Feng and his party, Xiao Wu and the three of them temporarily lived in Luoshan Village, and then searched for the whereabouts of the guerrillas during the day.
