The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 357
……

During the period of the Republic of China, quite a number of literati and journalists with strong character emerged, and we can even call them the role models of the times.

He (she) has the heroism of "the emperor can't get on the boat".

He (she) has the character of "holding morality on iron shoulders and writing articles with skillful hands".

Whether facing domineering and powerful warlords, or facing cruel and brutal reactionaries and Japanese invaders.

They are all standing proudly, never bowing their heads, persistently pursuing facts, witnessing facts, expressing truthfully, and analyzing the truth.

They are the eyes of this society, spying on the world for the common people.

So Kong Jie told Wang An that the comrades from the enemy industry department who were lurking in the [-]st Regiment of the recalcitrant army could partly expose how the [-]st Regiment colluded with the Japanese army in secret, and handed over the negatives of the song to this man named Shen Wenyue. reporter.

There were naturally female reporters in the period of the Republic of China, but compared to male reporters, the number was still small.

Can often appear, perhaps more forceful.

There is an old saying that goes like this:
"Female generals on the battlefield are rare, but if you show off your demeanor, you must be a heroine!"

Although Kong Jie has never met this female reporter named Shen Wenyue, he is willing to believe that a reporter and editor who can write such a good article should have the responsibility of a reporter.

At least Wang An also said that this reporter Shen went to the [-]st Regiment for a field visit in order to confirm the veracity of the report.

Probably only willing to believe what she saw with her own eyes.

So Kong Jie is willing to trust this reporter Shen once.

Even if he believed the wrong person, this reporter Shen is really a reporter who is following the trend and working for the reactionary regime.

It doesn't matter.

Only part of the negatives will be handed over as evidence, and after the other negatives are handed over to reporter Shen, the comrades from the enemy industry department who were exposed will be immediately withdrawn from the [-]st Regiment.

After the preparations here, Wang An quickly passed the news to the latent personnel of the [-]st Regiment.

……

The [-]st Regiment of the Stubborn Army.

The head of the group, Lu Duoxian, is living a happy life these days.

This Lu Duoxian himself is even more leisurely.

Nothing else, the game was originally a dead game, but let him revive it.

The surrender of Taiyuan City to the Japanese failed, and the Eighth Route Army snatched the equipment and ammunition along the way, and fled all the way back to the station in disgrace. The [-]st Regiment fell into a very bad situation.

On the one hand, because of the instigation and intervention of the Eighth Route Army, the [-]st Regiment offended the Japanese.

It was agreed to surrender, but you went and opened fire suddenly, and even killed the chief of the agency. Can the Japanese not be angry?

So after returning to the station, Lu Duoxian was also worried.

Not to mention surrendering to the Japanese again, maybe the Japanese ignored the ambiguity of the past and sent heavy troops to sweep up the garrison of the [-]st Regiment.

It's not impossible.

On the other hand, once the fact that the [-] group secretly surrendered to the Japanese is exposed.

The national army will definitely not let the [-]st Regiment go. You must know that for a long time, the [-]st Regiment was established as a model of the national army's resistance in the enemy's rear, and even major newspapers published it. I don't know how many times.

Boss Jiang has personally commended them. If it was suddenly revealed that the [-]st Regiment had defected to the enemy and treason, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Boss Jiang!
Boss Jiang's face is very important.

... a crisis on both sides.

Lu Duoxian, who is sophisticated, sophisticated and tactful, immediately started to act.

On the one hand, he started propaganda first, claiming that he led the [-]st Regiment to Taiyuan City and returned in a bloody battle with the Japanese army.

On the other hand, it is natural to buy some officers from the national army.

And even if these officers knew some news in private, they could only turn a blind eye.

At this time, whoever exposes the old background of the [-]st regiment will expose the scars of Boss Chiang, and that is no joke.

Simply push the boat along the way, and then fight the name of the [-]st Anti-Japanese Regiment.

So reporters from the Kuomintang-controlled area came to conduct on-the-spot investigations and interviews.

And they used free journalists from the Kuomintang-controlled area.

Because such reporters are the most trusted by the people, and they do not have too close ties with the government, the people are more willing to believe that such journalists with conscience can serve as everyone's eyes to judge the truth of the facts.

In addition, Lu Duoxian on the Japanese side didn't stop thinking about it, and secretly sent someone to try to make contact.

The result made him overjoyed.

After the death of Takeda Eijiro, the mild-tempered head of the Japanese army's secret service in Taiyuan City, the newly appointed Kudo Tatoshi, although his personality was more irritable, was smart. He also stated that the Japanese army had found out that the last time Taiyuan City surrendered to Cheng was misunderstood because the Eighth Route Army was behind the scenes, not the wishes of the [-]st Regiment.

So follow-up surrenders can continue.

Naturally, Lu Duoxian didn't know that Kudo Takatoshi was able to hold back his temper, hold back his anger, and get back in touch with the [-] regiment.

The most important reason is the words of Takeda Eijiro, the former head of the Japanese Army Secret Service in Taiyuan City, before his death.

Kudo Tatoshi inherited Takeda Eijiro's last wish:
When the [-]st Regiment of the National Army was having the most fun, they dragged him into the water and dealt heavy damage to the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces.

Kudo Tatoshi also heard that the Kuomintang-controlled area has recently made a big publicity for the blood station of the [-]st Regiment in the direction of Taiyuan City.

The public opinion is quite exaggerated.

Engineering Duojun had read the new issue of "Anti-Japanese National Daily", and the content on it was exactly what he expected.

The national army, which was at odds with the Eighth Route Army, was exaggerating the anti-Japanese deeds of the [-]st Regiment on the one hand.

On the other hand, it took the opportunity to suppress and belittle the guerrilla operations of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines.

Seeing here, Kudo Tatoshi is thinking about his own calculations.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army was suppressed by the national army with public opinion.

And when the [-]st Regiment stood on the cusp of the storm and was regarded as a model of resistance against Japan by the soldiers and civilians in the Kuomintang-controlled area, he suddenly dragged the [-]st Regiment into the water and became a current-minded armed force that surrendered to the Great Japanese Empire. Time is definitely a heavy hammer for the national army and the people in the Kuomintang-controlled area.

Thus.Public opinion was quite unfavorable for the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, which in turn turned to the Great Japanese Empire.

In the follow-up, the troops of the First Army, whether it is the iron rolling raid against the Eighth Route Army or the long-prepared battle in the direction of southern Shanxi, can all kick off.

……

Looking back, Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment, was warming up by the fire in his regimental headquarters, enjoying himself comfortably, smoking a big cigarette.

The communications soldier came to report, "Reporting to the group, reporter Shen is here again."

"Hey, is this bitch finished yet?"

Lu Duoxian couldn't help cursing, but after all, he quickly got up and knocked the burning tobacco in his bong into the brazier, turned around and threw the bong to the guard at the side.

The guard quickly hid the bong.

A battalion commander who was warming up with the fire said: "Team members calm down, if you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. This reporter Shen is not from our government. If something leaks, we can't stop her mouth."

Lu Duoxian nodded, and cursed again, "I heard that this chick is also from a scholarly family. She's a good young lady, but why come to our front line? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"Go, take a look!"

"Yes."

A group of people went out to welcome them. It was really ironic to say that the regiment leader, with a group of officers, rushed over in person to welcome a female reporter.

If you say there is no ghost in your heart, no one will believe it.

The soldier came from not far away with the Shen reporter.

Shen Wenyue was dressed very neatly and elegantly. In addition, it had snowed a few days ago and it hadn't melted yet. Standing in the snow, she felt quite compatible.

The temperament is also very unique, the kind of slim.

She has short hair that doesn't go over her shoulders, and she looks refined and practical, but at a glance, when she stands here, she still has a feeling that doesn't fit, like leaving an elegant young lady in front of her. The feeling of being on the devastated battlefield.

Not a shade at all.

During the period of the Republic of China, there were Westernization school reporters in suits and leather shoes; reformist reporters in green shirts and robes; and standard school reporters in Chinese tunic suits.

Shen Wenyue in front of her is the last one.

Just like during the period of the Republic of China, journalists, students, and literati liked to pursue the fashion of Chinese tunic suits: smart and capable, reasonable and practical, symmetrical and dignified, beautiful and generous.

At this moment, Shen Wenyue perfectly embodies these temperaments.

"Commander Lu, I'm sorry, it may take up some of your time again!"

Shen Wenyue said that this was the third time she had come to the [-]st Regiment for fieldwork and interviews.

Lu Duoxian endured the anger in his heart, squeezed a smile on his face as much as possible, and said, "Yes, Reporter Shen, if you have any questions or comments, just ask, and Lu will answer everything."

Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "Commander Lu, it's like this. I interviewed you the last two times I came here, and you described the process of fighting the Japanese army in Taiyuan City very well.

However, I think it is far from enough to simply interview generals to carry forward and publicize the anti-Japanese spirit of our national army.

So I mean, want to interview the officers at the bottom, and the soldiers.

Ask them to talk about their mental state during this battle, what kind of belief they held in fighting the Japanese invaders, and how they fought. "

Lu Duoxian: "..."

I was so angry that I wanted to scold my mother.

In the first two interviews, he was exhausted in order to fabricate the process of those battles.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't worry about it. If he showed his feet, it would be troublesome.

The little girl in front of me actually wants to interview soldiers.

These soldiers were dumb, and when they participated in the battle, they only cared about running away, and if they couldn't do it, they would slip up.

Thinking of this, Lu Duoxian dared to agree to ask Shen Wenyue to interview the soldiers, and quickly said righteously: "Reporter Shen, forgive me, soldiers like me are stupid, and besides knowing how to fight, many of them can't even speak well, you go Interviewing them will probably disappoint you."

Shen Wenyue said: "Regimental Commander Lu, don't worry, even if our soldiers only say a few words, one or two words will do. I think what everyone wants to see is this kind of simplicity and truth shown by our soldiers. The true feelings that can touch the hearts of the people and inspire the War of Resistance!"

Lu Duoxian: "..."

"Nothing else. Our [-]st Regiment was able to win the battle thanks to all the officers and soldiers who ordered and prohibited them to fight desperately. The commander gave the order and the soldiers fought bravely. Yes, that's how it is."

"I don't think it's necessary to interview soldiers or something. The soldiers still have to train, so there's no time."

"Captain Lu!"

"First battalion commander, I will go to your first battalion to inspect at this point, don't be stunned, reporter Shen, I'm sorry, excuse me for a moment."

"Come on, it's freezing cold, get Reporter Shen a pot of charcoal over here, find someone to accompany you, don't let Reporter Shen freeze outside."

"Yes!"

After Lu Duoxian finished speaking, facing Shen Wenyue's continued questioning, he said a few perfunctory words, and then left with a battalion commander.

Two soldiers were left behind, saying they were taking care of Shen Wenyue, so they were suspected of surveillance.

The soldiers gave Shen Wenyue a pot of charcoal fire and put it in the house to keep warm.

"Thank you!"

Lu Duoxian declined, and Shen Wenyue didn't think much about it. She warmed herself by the fire under the leadership of the soldiers, thinking that she would ask Lu Duoxian to interview the soldiers after Lu Duoxian finished her work.

The two soldiers stood beside Shen Wenyue, and they didn't sit by the brazier to warm up the fire like Shen Wenyue did.

Shen Wenyue said with a smile: "It's so cold, let's have a fire together!"

The heads of the two soldiers shook like rattles.

"No, no, no, reporter Shen, we are not cold."

As the two soldiers spoke, a cold wind blew in through the crack in the door, and they couldn't help shivering.

Shen Wenyue smiled and said, "Isn't it cold? Let's bake it. Anyway, no one saw it, so I won't tell Captain Lu."

As Shen Wenyue said, she moved the stool back to make room.

It was a cold day, and the two soldiers were not wearing thick clothes. They glanced at each other, their hearts moved, and they quickly squatted next to the brazier to warm themselves.

Bitingly cold, with a fire by my side, that is a pleasure.

"Did the two of you participate in the battle in Taiyuan City?"

Roasting on the fire, people are getting closer, and it seems that the relationship is getting closer, Shen Wenyue asked casually.

"No!" The two soldiers shook their heads.

Shen Wenyue was a little disappointed, she nodded, and continued to cook on the fire. After a while, she asked, "Excuse me, where is the toilet?"

One of the two soldiers said, "As for the latrine, it's in the backyard!"

The other pointed to the room behind Shen Wenyue and said: "Reporter Shen, open the curtain, go in to the kitchen, open the curtain after the kitchen, go forward, it is the back room, open the wooden door, and you will be in the backyard. Turning to the right is the latrine.

It's freezing outside, you open the back door from the house and go!It is closer to the latrine, and if you go through the front door, you have to go around in a big circle to get to the backyard. "

"Okay, thank you!" Shen Wenyue got up, smiled brightly, pushed open the curtain of the kitchen and walked in.

Behind him, the soldier who had spoken earlier smiled stupidly.

The other scolded: "Are you mad? I let you say all the cheap things. I don't usually see you so careful."

"But having said that, such a beautiful eldest lady is really rare."

"Yeah yeah!"

"What is it? The camp has repeatedly told us to keep an eye on Reporter Shen and stay close to each other. Now that Reporter Shen is going to the latrine, shall we go and see..."

Speaking of the latter, the soldier was also a little embarrassed to continue.

What does it mean when a girl goes to the bathroom and two old men follow her to peek?
"Don't look at me, pretend I didn't say anything!"

As he said that, the soldier continued to warm up the fire while trembling. Once he enjoyed the brazier, he was a bit reluctant to let go of it.

……

On the other hand, it was hard to imagine that such a reporter Shen, who was full of the air of a young lady, would do such a bold and cunning thing.

Shen Wenyue didn't go to the toilet. After opening the back door, she didn't go straight to the latrine on the right. Instead, she set off to the left, bypassed the courtyard, and came to the main entrance of the house.

The wooden door was closed, but it was not tightly seamed. There was cold wind blowing in through the cold seam before, and the two soldiers in the room were shivering.

Through the crack of the door, you can see some of the situation outside.

Shen Wenyue was vigilant everywhere and didn't see any other soldiers. When she passed the wooden door, she tiptoed up and quickly passed through the crack of the door.

The two soldiers in the room were still warming up around the brazier, and they didn't notice a figure flashing past the crack of the door at all.

Just like that, Shen Wenyue lost sight of the two soldiers and walked around the [-]st Regiment's camp.

It was too cold, and most of the soldiers were either hiding in the house, or according to Lu Duoxian's words, concentrated training at the training ground.

There weren't too many soldiers outside, and there were no sentries inside the garrison, so no one noticed Shen Wenyue.

Shen Wenyue walked along the path, towards the training ground, she heard the sound of shouting from the training ground.

Strange to say, when she first arrived in the [-]st Regiment, the whole station was still quiet, but now the training is in full swing.

It wasn't until she reached the place that Shen Wenyue was a little dumbfounded.

Looking at it from a long distance, only a small group of soldiers were running and shouting slogans.

The team is also loose and loose, and it is impossible to see that this is a well-disciplined army.

More people squatted in twos and threes beside the snow and smoked big cigarettes. You took a sip, and I took a sip. The smoke rose in the training ground.

Shen Wenyue had never seen such a situation in the [-]st Regiment.

The first two times, after she came here, Lu Duoxian took her to see the soldiers of the [-]st Regiment sweating and training.

This made her feel a little confused.

Smoking opium is not a good habit. It hurts the body and money. It has always been a bad habit in many warlord troops. The team in front of us is a model of heroic resistance against Japan. Do the soldiers also smoke opium?

Perhaps smoking opium does not affect the soldiers' combat, it is just as a pastime!

Shen Wenyue comforted herself like this.

Then, Shen Wenyue saw Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment, who was also smoking a pipe, talking to the soldiers around him, but he was too far away. Shen Wenyue couldn't hear clearly.

"Didn't Captain Lu say that he doesn't smoke?"

Shen Wenyue was a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it. The situation in the training ground made her a little disappointed. She turned around and walked away, towards the bunks of other soldiers.

……

……

The two soldiers who were in charge of monitoring Shen Wenyue were still warming the fire in the room. After waiting for a long while, Shen Wenyue still did not return, and one of them became suspicious.

"Why don't you come back?"

"Who knows? But I've heard that women generally don't have a smooth bowel movement."

"And what about this?"

"Yes!"

"But it's been too long, and the latrine is open to the outside without even a curtain, so the buttocks must be frozen?"

"Would you like to go have a look?"

"Hey, I want to go with you, I won't go!"

"You go!"

"You go!"

"I'll go!", "Then I'll go!"

in unison.

Two people: "........."

Two lsps.

"Then let's go together. The task given to us by the camp is to keep an eye on reporter Shen."

After the two made up their minds solemnly, they walked to the direction of the back door together, and when they poked their heads out to see the situation in the latrine, the two pretended to decline for a while, then gritted their teeth, and put the Head stuck out.

With beautiful longings, what caught my eye was disappointment.

"Well, where are people?"

"What about people?"

"It's over, people are lost! What should I do?"

"Nonsense, look for it, if something goes wrong, it will be over for both of us."
