Chapter 26 Yan Laoxi's Reaction

Kenanpo in Ji County, Shanxi
Originally, the place name was not called Ke Nanpo, but Nancunpo, but because "Nancun" and "Nancun" are homophonic, Yan Laoxi is more taboo about the word "Nancun", so he changed the name to Kenan City, now It is called "Ke Nan Po".

Starting in 1938, it took Yan Laoxi two years to complete the construction. Today's Kenanpo is quite large, a small town on the top of a mountain that can accommodate more than [-] people. The seat of the government, known as "Little Taiyuan", is now the political, economic and cultural center of SX Province.

In the morning, Yan Laoxi, who had just woken up and finished washing, was sitting in the cave drinking tea when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Sun Chu, the deputy commander of the Sixth Army, hurried over with a telegram.

Before anyone arrived, the voice had already passed.

"Commander Yan... Chief Yan... overjoyed... overjoyed..."

Wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and trousers, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, gray beard and a pair of round glasses, Yan Laoxi looks kind. At first glance, he looks like a rural rich man in Shanxi the difference.

Seeing Sun Chu coming, he put down his teacup, squinted his eyes and laughed: "Oh...it's Cuiya, what happy event makes you so happy?"

Sun Chu passed the telegram to Yan Laoxi and said excitedly: "Sir, we just received the report. Just yesterday, one of our local militiamen fought against the Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army in Cangyunling. In one battle, they not only killed their regiment leader Nobutsu Sakata, but also captured their regiment flag, this battle can be said to be the biggest defeat for the Japanese army since they entered Shanxi.”

"what?"

Yan Laoxi's hand trembled, the teacup on the table was knocked to the ground by him, and the tea was spilled all over the floor.

He once studied in Japan and studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, of course he understands what the United Flag means to the Japanese army.

Then his first reaction was that his subordinates lied about military intelligence.

"Nonsense, even if all the Japanese were killed in battle, they would burn the flag of the alliance first. How could it be captured by us? Who is so courageous to deceive the commander of the war zone?"

Yan Laoxi was so angry that his beard was raised, and he wanted to order a thorough investigation of the matter.

Sun Chu, who had expected that he would be angry, hurriedly said: "Sir...you calm down first, it's not too late to get angry after listening to me."

Yan Laoxi held back his breath and sat down again, "Okay...you tell me, I'll listen."

Sun Chu continued: "This telegram was sent by Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment stationed in Dagushan. Chu Yunfei claimed that the Japanese Third Regiment was sent by the local militia in Liantai County during the battle to encircle and wipe out the Eighth Route Army. Attacked the headquarters.

Caught off guard, the Japanese headquarters was destroyed, and the commander of the regiment, Shinzhe Sakagaki, was shot dead. Even his command knife and the regiment flag were seized. Chu Yunfei saw it with his own eyes. "

"Chu Yunfei from the 358th regiment?"

Yan Laoxi immediately remembered, "If I remember correctly, this Chu Yunfei is still my fellow from Liantai. No... just now you said that the person who killed Sakata Shinzhe was actually a militia from Liantai County, isn't that true? Say……"

"You're right." Sun Chu smiled, "The person who killed Sakata Nobuzhe and captured the alliance flag is also your fellow Liantai. His name is Gao Hongming."

"Gao Hongming?"

Yan Laoxi thought for a while, "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

"You may not know his name, but their Gao family is a well-known family in Liantai County. You should know his father, Mr. Gaoyou Jin Gao?"

"Oh...I remember."

Yan Laoxi slapped his thigh, "So it was him, now I remembered, it turns out he is Gao Youjin's son, no wonder... no wonder."

Speaking of this, Yan Laoxi sighed a little: "Speaking of which, the Gao family is indeed very famous in our Liantai, but it is a pity that the Gao family has always been underpopulated, and now it is a single pass for three generations. It is said that Gao Hongming's reputation in Liantai is not good. how good.

It's just that he didn't expect him to do such a big thing in silence. Brother Gao really is a good parent. "

Sun Chu sighed lightly: "Sir, you don't know something. A few months ago, when Mr. Gao was doing business in the countryside, he encountered a Japanese patrol and was unfortunately killed.

It happened that Gao Hongming had just returned from studying abroad and saw his father being beaten to death by the Japanese, so he formed a team and called himself the Liantai County Militia.There are not many people in this branch, only three to four hundred people. I didn't expect him to do such a big thing. "

"A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers... young people are amazing..."

Yan Laoxi let out a long sigh, "The hatred of killing one's father is unshakable. This Gao Hongming deserves to be a disciple of our Liantai disciple. He is indeed remarkable, but it's a pity for Brother Gao."

Sun Chu continued: "Chu Yunfei also said that at the beginning he planned to ask Gao Hongming to donate the United flag and then send it to Chongqing for reporters and ordinary people from all over the country to visit, so as to improve the people's determination to resist the war. , but was rejected by Gao Hongming.

Gao Hongming said that it is not necessary to go to Chongqing if you want to see the flag of the United Team, and it is not impossible to visit Shanxi, so Chu Yunfei was blocked. "

Yan Laoxi snorted coldly: "This Chu Yunfei, who usually claims to be a graduate of Whampoa Phase [-], is not as knowledgeable as a militia leader who came from a dude.

Not to mention the long distance, even if the United flag is sent to Chongqing, what good will it do us?It's better to stay in Shanxi, we can also take this opportunity to publicize, so that people all over the country can see our anti-Japanese form in Shanxi, that's right. "

Sun Chu nodded again and again, "The officer stands tall and sees far, and the staff admires him!"

"Ok!"

Yan Laoxi stroked the beard on his lips, "Well, you should immediately send someone to Liantai, so that the little girl from the Gao family can come to Kenanpo with the team flag. I want to invite all reporters to come together. Visiting this United flag, we must take this opportunity to spread the reputation of our World War II zone, and let the people of the whole country know that our World War II zone can also fight wars!"

Sun Chu nodded repeatedly at the side. Chu Yunfei was still too young. Seeing that he had seized the alliance flag, he thought of sending it to Chongqing immediately.

Fortunately, Gao Hongming refused, otherwise he would have been sent away, I'm afraid he will be the head of the regiment, but it's not necessarily true, after all, he is also a disciple of Liantai, and Chief Yan has always been very tolerant towards fellow villagers.

But there is one more thing he needs to remind: "Mr. Yan, that Gao Hongming has made such a great contribution, so we should show it."

"This is..."

Yan Laoxi stroked his beard and pondered...
