Meng Heshan looked at the five children and asked in confusion, "Are they...?"
"When we came back, we met all orphans. Let's take them back to the base area to find some reserve talents for our revolution!"
Reminiscing about the past is an understatement.
Meng Heshan didn't ask any questions and took them directly to Dalongshu Village, where the 28th Regiment was based.
The Wen Gu brothers and sisters changed out of their Japanese military uniforms and drove the truck toward the 28th Regiment's station. Meng Heshan hung outside the cab, looking at the warm and skillful operation in the car with envy.
If he could drive, he would grab a car from the Japanese and drive it.
The distance between the stations is only 20 miles at most. During this period, the Japs in Jin Province were unlucky, and the 12th Japs Army in Hebei Province were also unlucky.
The entire North China Front army lacked weapons, ammunition and living supplies, so the Japanese were hiding in the city.
The Eighth Route Army in North China was just trying to expand its territory. At the same time, the autumn harvest had begun. In the past, at this time, the Japanese had already come out to carry out large-scale raids.
They rob money, food, people, in any case, they rob everything. The Japanese rely on war to support war, and their daily supply of daily necessities depends on robbery.
But this year, Sugiyamahara hid in a safe room, and all the ammunition and supplies from the mainland were robbed. The Japanese did not dare to come out without bullets.
That's why Ding Weicai placed his station not far from the road.
"Captain, commander, look who I brought to you?"
The truck drove into Dalongshu Village in less than an hour. After the security company saw Meng Heshan, they briefly checked and let it in.
Meng Heshan pulled Wen Gu and shouted into the regiment headquarters. Ding Wei was studying the map. Meng Heshan's shout obviously disturbed his thoughts.
"What are you shouting for? I asked you to deal with two Japs, how could you possibly make a mistake?" Ding Wei shouted outside, and when he looked up, he was stunned.
"Isn't this Comrade Wen Gu? How come you have time to come to our 28th regiment?"
"There is no other way. I heard that we were going to pass through here. Commander Ding arranged for a company of soldiers to stop us. We can't leave without coming here!"
Wen Gu entered the room and shook hands with Ding Wei, complaining.
"What's going on with Lao Meng?" Ding Wei's face darkened, thinking that Meng Heshan was causing trouble for Wen Gu, so he asked unhappily,
"Brother and sister Wen Gu were the lifesavers of our 28th Regiment, and you were at the scene at that time!"
Meng Heshan felt extremely wronged, "Captain, didn't you arrange for me to arrest the Japanese? How could this be my fault?"
Ding Wei said blankly: "What do you mean? You don't mean to say that the Wen Gu brothers and sisters are the Japanese you went to catch, right?"
Wen Gu hurriedly explained, if he allowed them to continue talking, his brother and sister would soon become relatives who licked the flesh!
"Captain Ding, my sister and I disguised ourselves as Japs and drove back to the base. We were probably targeted by the underground party in the town ahead. We are all right, so let this matter go!"
Ding Wei asked Meng Heshan to leave, and then looked at the five people behind the Wen Gu brothers and sisters, "Are they...?"
"Oh, these are the friends we met in Jinmen, we are taking them back to the base!
Captain Ding, now that the problem has been clarified, we are ready to leave. There are still several days to go, and we cannot afford to delay! "
Wen Gu had something on his mind, so he wanted to send the person back as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, since you came to my place, you have to have a meal anyway. Otherwise, if I meet your father next time, he will say that I don't know how to greet guests!" Ding Wei pulled Wen Gu and refused to let him go.
Ma Liansheng looked at the familiar faces of Wen Gu and Ding Wei, and finally believed that they were the Eighth Route Army. He walked up to Ding Wei and said,
"Commander, since you are the Eighth Route Army, can you help me contact the Eighth Route Army headquarters?"
Wen Gu felt something in his heart. The first time he called Ma Liansheng, he felt there was something wrong. Isn't this a problem?
Ding Wei glanced at Wen Gu in surprise and saw Wen Gu shaking his head slightly, then he smiled and said to Ma Liansheng, "Does this little comrade have anything to do with the leader of our Eighth Route Army headquarters?
By the way, my surname is Ding, Ding Wei. Just call me Captain Ding! "
Ma Liansheng said anxiously, "I have important information to submit to the leaders at the headquarters!"
Wen Gu clapped his hands and said, "What about Captain Ding? I just said you can't stay here, right?"
Ding Wei smiled bitterly and said, "You two brothers and sisters are really busy people!" Then he said to Ma Liansheng,
"Comrade Wen Gu is very familiar with the headquarters. If you really have information to hand over to the headquarters, they will take you there!"
Ma Liansheng looked at Wen Gu a little embarrassed, and Wen Gu patted him, "Who are you showing this expression to? Get in the car quickly, let's go to the headquarters!"
After saying that, the three of them left the three children in their arms, and asked Lian Ping to follow them and get into the truck. Ding Wei and the leaders of the regiment watched them leave.
The truck was driving on the rugged road. Whenever it encountered a Japanese checkpoint, Wen Xin would go down and slap each Japanese in the face. The more he slapped, the more excited he became.
When the Japs and puppet soldiers saw Wen Xin's smiling face, and then when they saw the person she knocked down, their hearts twitched. These Japs and puppet soldiers were really evil.
Four days later, they finally entered Liao County, which was the core area of the Eighth Route Army. The Wen Gu brothers and sisters also changed their Japanese military uniforms into those worn by ordinary people.
Ma Liansheng was sitting on the ground, watching his sisters eating rabbits baked by Wen Gu.
He hesitated to speak, but Wen Gu stopped him and said, "Don't force it, we will arrive at the headquarters tonight, and you can just talk to the head of the headquarters then!"
"Comrade Wen, it's not that I'm hiding something from you and your sister. This matter is really too important. I can't say anything until I meet with the leaders at the headquarters!"
Wen Gu asked doubtfully, "Since you are looking for the head of the headquarters, why did you stay in Jinmen? Shouldn't you come to Jin Province as quickly as possible?"
Ma Liansheng rubbed his head in embarrassment and said embarrassedly, "I don't know the location of the headquarters, and they couldn't survive at that time. I had no choice but to arrive at Jinmen!"
Reluctantly, after lunch, everyone continued to set off, and finally arrived at the Eighth Route Army headquarters at 3:30 in the afternoon.
"Squad leader, look, a Japanese truck is coming. What do you mean, Japanese? Even a truck dares to come. Are they really not afraid of death?"
At a secret post not far from the highway 10 kilometers outside the headquarters, soldiers from the headquarters guard regiment looked at the truck driven by Wen Gu and asked cautiously.
"Who knows what the Japanese think...?" The veteran just said this, "No, where is my telescope?"
"Here it is, monitor!"
The veteran took the telescope and looked at it carefully, then said with a smile, "I just felt something was wrong. How could there be a Japanese truck in the core area of our base?"
As expected, it was Wen Gu, so I asked why a Japanese truck appeared in this place! "
The two watched the truck drive by, and Wenxin waved to where they were hiding.
"Monitor, is this...?"
"Did you see the person waving to us? That's a master of our Eighth Route Army!"
