Yuan County.
In the alley next to the teahouse, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were waiting here as agreed with Shen Wenyue.
Bored of waiting, the two chatted casually.
Zheng Tian said: "Xiao Wu, you are really sweet-tongued. You call me "Journalist Shen" one after another. You are not ashamed."
Xiao Wu frowned and said proudly: "You don't understand this. I call Reporter Shen sister. Reporter Shen will become the wife of our group leader tomorrow. Hehe, isn't the group leader our brother?"
Zheng Tian: "..."
"You are really a talent!"
"That is!"
The two waited for less than an hour before Shen Wenyue appeared.
It turned out that Shen Wenyue had long expected that after returning to see his father this time, he would probably be detained by his father at home, so he told Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian in advance to wait for her in the alley outside the teahouse, and she would definitely escape.
"Xiao Wu, Squad Leader Zheng!" Shen Wenyue came over with a smile as bright as a flower and said hello. .
Xiao Wu asked doubtfully: "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."
"Then how did you escape?"
"It's very simple. You are familiar with the road. I can think of four or five ways to escape from my house at any time. My father wants to imprison me, unless he can bear to break both legs of his good daughter." Shen Wenyue was proud. road.
Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were speechless for a moment.
Shen Wenyue said: "Xiao Wu, Squad Leader Zheng, I know Commander Kong has told you that after you escort me back, you two will go find Company Commander Han next, right?"
Xiao Wu nodded.
Shen Wenyue's eyes showed a hint of excitement, "Right now, the Japanese army and the Chinese army are still fighting in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. The war at this time will definitely be more severe, and the guerrilla operations behind enemy lines will definitely be more exciting. I would like to trouble you two to lead me go together."
"Well, sister, we are mainly escorting you back this time. It would be too dangerous to fight guerrillas behind enemy lines." Xiao Wu advised.
Shen Wenyue said: "I can be a reporter with the army. Guerrilla warfare has always been unknown behind enemy lines. In fact, I have always felt that the deeds of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were engaged in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and persisted in resisting Japan should be reported and let the people know."
"In addition, as you can see, our family is very rich. Maybe I can use it as a connection. If our guerrilla team lacks financial support, I think my father will definitely not refuse."
"In addition, I can also serve as a propaganda officer for the guerrillas to contact the people. I also helped in this aspect of work when I was in the Niukou Village base area."
Well, now that the words were said, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian could only nod their heads.
Of course, before setting off, Shen Wenyue expressed the need to go to Ji County and return to the newspaper office to check the situation.
If the subsequently photographed information can be distributed through newspapers, it will be extremely effective in awakening the anti-Japanese sentiments of the people in the occupied areas and calling on the people to support the anti-Japanese war.
The three of them passed the interrogation and entered Ji County.
After returning to the newspaper office, Shen Wenyue successfully met her colleague Yu Ming, the male reporter who interviewed Kong Jie when the Independent Regiment dealt with the 251st Regiment of the National Army who secretly defected to the Japanese.
I remember that the first time Shen Wenyue met Kong Jie was when Yu Ming showed Shen Wenyue a photo of Kong Jie.
Since he did not know the specific situation of the newspaper office, and for the sake of caution, Zheng Tian asked Xiao Wu to go to the newspaper office to find Yu Ming. Yu Ming called Yu Ming outside the newspaper office and met with Shen Wenyue in private.
Yu Ming saw Shen Wenyue with joy and surprise on his face, "Wenyue, you are finally back. Everyone has been worried about you. You are so bold that you said you would go to interview the Eighth Route Army team behind enemy lines. Second The sun is gone."
Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "Didn't I come back well? By the way, there haven't been any accidents in the newspaper office recently, right?"
Yu Ming's expression changed slightly and he said: "I was just about to tell you this. After the national army's frontline position was lost, the Japanese army quickly attacked and occupied the county seat. All the officers and soldiers in the city ran away.
After the Japanese army occupied the county town, in addition to controlling the city gates and military important areas, they also went to various newspaper offices and recorded rosters. 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 any remarks that were detrimental to the Japanese army, everyone would be punished. Now the people in the newspaper office are in panic, and there are many people who are cursing the Japanese. "
"However, the editor-in-chief told us in advance that everyone tacitly ignored your existence. We also sent word to Uncle Shen that your name was not registered."
"Wenyue, please leave quickly and don't come to the newspaper office again!"
Shen Wenyue said: "What about you? What should everyone do?"
Yu Mingdao: "The editor-in-chief said that the Japanese are paying close attention to the Japanese right now. We don't dare to publish some newspapers that talk about resisting Japan and saving the country. But if we are asked to deliberately publish some newspapers that promote the Japanese, we won't do it. It's really not possible. The newspaper office Just close it down and let everyone make their own living."
Shen Wenyue nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Then, the two discussed the topic that Shen Wenyue had indeed gone to the Eighth Route Army base area.
Yu Ming was filled with admiration for this, "Wen Yue, you are recognized as a madwoman by our newspaper, and you really deserve your reputation.
You can go to this Eighth Route Army base behind enemy lines as soon as you want, but as soon as you arrive, you encounter a large-scale raid by the Japanese army.
We have heard a little bit about the matter here, and we have been worried about you! "
Shen Wenyue said with emotion: "Yeah, I didn't expect it, but I just caught up."
"Have you seen Commander Kong? How about it? Is he as good as I said, a great general?"
When he said this, Yu Ming's eyes revealed a bit of fanaticism.
Shen Wenyue smiled and nodded, "I was drunk and looked at the sword with the light on, and I dreamed about the trumpet company. This time I really saw it."
"What's next? What are you going to do? Don't tell me that you're going back to Shen's house and staying there. That's not the character of a crazy woman." Yu Ming joked.
Shen Wenyue didn't hide anything, "I'm looking for guerrillas, whether they are from the National Army or the Eighth Route Army, as long as they are still fighting the Japanese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area!"
"What the hell, you don't want to die?"
"I'm not going to fight, I'm just a reporter accompanying the army. I have to tell the people that even behind enemy lines, there are still troops like the guerrillas who are fighting bravely and are persisting."
Yu Ming said helplessly: "Well, now that you have made up your mind, I won't say anything. Anyway, your character is not something others can say.
Speaking of which, I admire you even more. I really want to do the interviews that reporters should do like you, but I still have to take care of my old mother. "
Shen Wenyue said: "Yu Ming, in fact, if you really want to do something, there is nothing you can do even in the occupied area."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"You can secretly publish some newspapers as a secret declaration calling on people with lofty ideals to secretly participate in anti-Japanese activities. On the Eighth Route Army side, there are such comrades in many counties behind enemy lines, secretly assisting the Eighth Route Army comrades in their propaganda work. "Gu deposed
"This..." Yu Ming thought of the excitement and risks involved, couldn't help but swallowed, and said: "You are a woman who can risk everything, but I can't lose the face of a man. Wenyue, you are right, I will seriously consider it, and if your guerrillas need any help from the newspaper, I will definitely help."
"Okay!" Shen Wenyue said.
After leaving the newspaper office and purchasing food for a few days in the city, Shen Wenyue and the others left Ji County.
The three people dressed up as ordinary people and were completely out of the county, out of the control of the Japanese army, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
But Shen Wenyue was a little confused as to where to go next.
Zheng Tian said: "If Company Commander Han and his guerrillas exist, they will probably be in some remote mountainous areas and near villages. If we want to find them, it is better to search along some villages. We can always find out the whereabouts of some guerrillas. The Japanese army is very interested in the county towns." Control in other large and small villages is also relatively lax."
The three of them made up their minds and embarked on their journey.
As Zheng Tian said, the Japanese army's control over the remote villages in the county is relatively lax. In addition, the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has not yet completely ended, and the little devils are focusing on the national army positions. For peripheral villages and The people didn't pay much attention to it.
Shen Wenyue and the others walked along the way and stopped for a while when they encountered some villages to inquire about any news about the guerrillas. Along the way, they also witnessed the helplessness and uncertainty of fate of the people living in the villages under the flames of war.
The young and strong people in the village have either been forcibly recruited by the national army long ago, or those who have no other relatives in the village have fled.
Most of the people staying in the village are old people and children, and there is not even much labor. The hardship of the village can be imagined. Coupled with bandits, warlords pass by from time to time and enter the village to rob.
The villages outside the county have no one under their control. Instead, they have become a place where unjust teams from all sides can do whatever they want.
Probably because I feel that if I don’t rob, someone will rob me.
"Guerrillas? Yes, there are. They appeared a few days ago. They are more hateful than bandits. They enter the village and steal things without saying a word."
While passing by Xiaogu Village, Shen Wenyue asked a villager, and the villager gritted his teeth and said.
"Aren't the guerrillas fighting against the Japanese? How could they rob people's things?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, feeling that this fellow had misunderstood something.
The fellow scolded: "What do you think of fighting against Japanese invaders? They are just a bunch of bastards and hungry wolves. They are worse than bandits. The bandits even know how to leave some grain seeds for us! These bastards are just grabbing whatever they see. They cannot hold the position in front of them." , was driven into the mountains by the Japanese, and when nothing happened, they went into the village to rob them a few times, but I didn’t see them beating the Japanese.”
Zheng Tian said: "Are they the remnants of the national army that was defeated from the frontline positions?"
The fellow said: "It's just these white dogs."
The three of them, Zheng Tian, were silent. They all felt helpless when they left the village. They were defeated like bandits, which they had witnessed today.
The people living in the war are suffering so much, who will show mercy?
Xiao Wu cursed on the road: "How can this National Army be considered a guerrilla? It is far different from our Eighth Route Army guerrillas. It is not a force of the same nature at all."
Shen Wenyue was somewhat unable to accept this fact.
Having stayed in the Kuomintang-controlled area for many years, she had also heard many stories about the heroic resistance of the Kuomintang army against Japan.
Coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the Kuomintang military government, at least in the eyes of the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, those Kuomintang soldiers are all good men who fought bloody battles.
When she came to the enemy's rear this time, Shen Wenyue originally expected that the guerrillas left behind by the Chinese army would be able to kill the enemy and fight the Japanese invaders as bravely as the Eighth Route Army.
The fact made her a little disappointed.
From the gnashed words of the fellow villagers, Shen Wenyue could feel the people's anger towards the remaining guerrilla forces of the National Army behind enemy lines.
The area around the Eighth Route Army base area is not only around the base area of the Independent Regiment, but also includes some villages under the jurisdiction of the base areas of other surrounding regiments.
Out of a comprehensive investigation, Shen Wenyue visited them all.
In those villages, the reputation of the Eighth Route Army troops in the villages was simply amazing.
"They will never take a piece of our people's money, and sometimes they will write IOUs when they need something."
"The Eighth Route Army is disciplined, we are the people's soldiers!"
These are by no means just words. Shen Wenyue has witnessed many times how the villagers in the local villages actively responded and cooperated when the Eighth Route Army troops started working in the villages in Gentu.
The integration of military and civilians can be seen almost everywhere in the Eighth Route Army base areas.
Both sides made a decision.
But after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes until I continued to march to some remote villages to look for the guerrillas.
Not long after, Shen Wenyue witnessed with her own eyes the remnants of the national army who entered the village and robbed them, making the whole village restless.
Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were helpless in the situation at that time. In addition, they were interrogated along the way, and they had no weapons on them.
Finally, with the help of some fellow villagers, he hid in the house and escaped.
At this point, the truth and facts were before her eyes, and Shen Wenyue finally believed the fact that the national army guerrillas were wantonly oppressing, coercing, and robbing the people behind enemy lines.
Then, after searching for more than two weeks, the food they brought had long been exhausted. The three of them relied on the help of fellow villagers from surrounding villages to persevere.
During this period, I also heard some news one after another.
The Japanese army's attack was fierce, and the Chinese army was constantly 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. The Japanese were controlling both directions and were sweeping back and forth in the mountains to clear out the remaining remnants of the national army.
In the Taiyue Mountain area, in a remote village called Luoshan Village, Dang Xiaowu said: "We are looking for guerrillas, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. Have you heard of the Eighth Route Army? It is not an army 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 were shocked.
They fought a battle there and eliminated some Japanese and puppet troops. When passing by the village, they also gave some of the captured food to everyone.
They said that they were from the Eighth Route Army and came here to establish anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines to fight the Japanese.
Are they the ones you are looking for? "
Xiao Wu was overjoyed and asked quickly: "It's them, fellow countryman, do you know where they are now?"
The fellow shook his head, "I don't know exactly where it is, but it's probably around here."
"Thank you, you have helped us a lot!"
After finding out the news about Han Feng and his party, Xiao Wu and the others temporarily lived in Luoshan Village, and then spent the day exploring the whereabouts of the guerrillas.
