The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 358

While the two soldiers were anxiously looking for Shen Wenyue everywhere, Shen Wenyue continued to observe around the [-]st Regiment's station.

As a free person, she enjoys the process of visiting and investigating independently from a personal perspective.

Because she always believed that, as a conscientious reporter who dared to tell the truth and dare to verify the facts, she could witness the truth of the facts with her own eyes through this kind of secret investigation and visit.

There were many journalists in the Republic of China, and Shen Wenyue naturally had senior journalists whom Shen Wenyue admired, the kind who were upright and full of pride.

For example, Mr. Huang Yuansheng, whom she admires the most, once edited the monthly "Yongyan" founded by Mr. Liang, and served as a special reporter for Shanghai's "Shenbao", "Times", and "Oriental Daily".

Famous for "Yuansheng Newsletter", he is known as "China's first truly modern reporter" and one of the pioneers of modern new literature.

is called:
Journalist of the time, pioneer of the Literary Revolutionary Movement.

He is famous for being daring to criticize current politics and not being afraid of the powerful, so he incurred the disaster of killing himself, although he died without regret.

Shen Wenyue set her ambition when she was a student, to be a freelance reporter who dares to participate in major political, military and social activities with a positive attitude towards joining the world, and to contribute her meager strength to the destiny of the nation and the destiny of the country .

This may explain why, despite her parents' opposition and her wealthy family, she resolutely devoted herself to the profession of journalist, and was often active on the front lines of the Anti-Japanese War.

She wanted to be the eyes of the people, to witness for the people how the soldiers on the front line fought the enemy bravely, fought against the Japanese invaders, and defended their homeland.

She wants to pass on this fearless spirit even more.

Let the people know that there are still such batches of warriors on the front line who are working hard for the destiny of the country.

Therefore, Shen Wenyue, who was born as a young lady, also has heroism and boldness similar to that of a heroine.

For example, by going to the toilet in front of me, I got rid of the soldiers who were watching me, and visited secretly in the [-]st Regiment.

Shen Wenyue now wants to go to the soldiers' shops and ask the soldiers who participated in the battle in Taiyuan City what the situation was like at that time.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away, calling out to her.

"Reporter Shen!"

Shen Wenyue, who heard this voice, couldn't help but thumped in her heart, secretly thinking that it was terrible, she was discovered!
She turned her head and saw a strange face she had never seen before, like a soldier from the [-]st Regiment.

"Hello, can I ask you anything?"

Shen Wenyue asked with a smile, thinking quickly in her mind how to respond, such as when the other party asked herself why she appeared here, what she was doing here, and where the two soldiers who followed her were, and so on.

Who would have thought that the soldier with an unfamiliar face just looked around, seeing no one else, and then quickly stuffed something in his hand towards Shen Wenyue.

Shen Wenyue, who was holding the things in her hands in a daze, still couldn't come to her senses.

But the soldier said: "Reporter Shen, sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true, because that's what others want you to see. As a great reporter, you should understand this truth.

Here's some film I was asked to hand over to you.

After you take it back, you wash it out privately, and I think you will be interested in the contents inside. "

Shen Wenyue was startled, but soon came to her senses, this kind of thing is not uncommon. After the news newspapers have gradually developed over the years, there are quite a few people who come to send information, secretly deliver news and so on, which can be called newspapers. informant.

Thinking of this, Shen Wenyue quickly stuffed the film in her hand into her pocket.

"By the way, do you know how to get to the soldiers' bunkers?"

The soldier said: "Reporters also need to pay attention to their own safety. Reporter Shen, you should go back to where you should go first!"

"Also, I hope you don't tell others about the fact that I gave you the film."

"Of course." Shen Wenyue said.

The soldier nodded, then turned and left. Naturally, this was a comrade lurking in the [-]st Regiment from the enemy industry department of the Independent Regiment.

After the soldiers left, Shen Wenyue tightened the film in her pocket through her clothes, thoughtfully, and turned back to the previous farmhouse.

From a distance, Shen Wenyue noticed the two soldiers who had accompanied her before looking around the farmhouse.

After Shen Wenyue walked over, the two soldiers immediately asked.

"Reporter Shen, where have you been? You scared us to death, we thought we lost you."

"That's right, Reporter Shen, if you want to go somewhere, please tell us!"

"Our delegation repeatedly told us to accompany Reporter Shen."

Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble, I just feel that the room is a little stuffy, I went out for a walk, it didn't go very far, let's go, let's go back, it's really cold outside."

"Oh, by the way, if I leave this matter privately and let Commander Lu know, you two will be punished."

"I'll just pretend that I haven't left, and no one else will see it anyway. It's up to you what you say then."

Shen Wenyue took the initiative to return to the house, followed by two soldiers, thinking that this was indeed a good idea.

After staying in the room for another half an hour, Lu Duoxian pretended to bring the team back.

As usual, Shen Wenyue expressed that she hoped to interview soldiers who had participated in the battle in Taiyuan City, but Lu Duoxian naturally found an excuse to refuse.

Shen Wenyue didn't insist, she smiled and said that she would come to interview again when the next time is convenient.

After that, Lu Duoxian led the officers to personally send Shen Wenyue away.

After returning, Lu Duoxian found the two soldiers guarding Shen Wenyue and asked with a straight face, "Didn't this little girl run around on the way?"

"Yes, Tuan Zuo, reporter Shen has been staying in the room warming the fire!"

one way.

Another soldier nodded quickly.

Only then did Lu Duoxian heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's good!"

However, after Shen Wenyue returned to the newspaper office, she really did not disclose the receipt of the film to others, but privately found a photo studio opened by a friend and developed the film.

Just like that, when Shen Wenyue came out of the photo studio full of anticipation, the smile on her face had already disappeared.

After returning to the newspaper office, the editor-in-chief of "Anti-Japanese National Daily" greeted Shen Wenyue: "Wenyue, did you go to the [-]st Regiment for an on-site interview?"

"Yes!"

"How about it? Do you have any new materials? In the next issue of the newspaper, can we add some anti-Japanese content to the [-]st Regiment?"

"Nowadays there are wars everywhere, and finally the [-]st Regiment appeared to fight bravely with the Japanese invaders. This is what the people are looking forward to."

Shen Wenyue said: "Editor-in-Chief, I would like to pause for a while regarding the continuation of the report on the [-]st Regiment's heroic resistance against Japan."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"It's not convenient to tell you at the moment, but please wait for me for a few days, and I will figure things out."

The editor-in-chief didn't think too much, and nodded: "Okay!"

……

……

Independence Corps.

Wang An reported the situation to Kong Jie, "Leader, the matter has been settled, and the film has been handed over to that reporter Shen. As for what will happen next, let's just wait and see."

Kong Jie nodded and said: "This is one thing. In addition, tell the comrades of the enemy industry department who are lurking in the [-]st Regiment to be vigilant at all times for the movements of the [-]st Regiment. If there is any sign of surrender to the Japanese army, immediately report to the regiment headquarters."

"Yes!"

"Okay, go get busy!"

"Yes!"

……

Not long after Wang An left, the monk's loud voice came in from outside the courtyard, "Leader, head, go and have a look, good guy, the fifth battalion has beaten a big wild boar!"

The voice came first, and then the monk opened the curtain and walked in.

"Leader, let's go to the Fifth Battalion to see the wild boar they hunted?"

The Fifth Battalion beat wild boars, which was a rare occurrence. Kong Jie nodded, and rushed towards the Fifth Battalion's garrison together with the monk.

When they arrived at the place, the soldiers had already surrounded the wild boar.

"Captain!"

"Here comes the head!"

"Commander, come and have a look, the wild boar we hunted in the fifth battalion, this wild boar is not small!"

Seeing Kong Jie approaching, the Fifth Battalion Commander Du Aiguo hurried over and said.

"Where did you fight?"

Kong Jie asked, looking at the big wild boar that fell to the ground and stained the ground with a pool of blood.

This wild boar was indeed not small, it weighed about two hundred catties, and it was full of bullet holes. It seemed that it had been hit by many bullets before it fell down.

"It was fought on the mountain in the south of our base area. This is the wild boar that our trainer personally led the team to fight."

Li Wenjie came over with a smile and explained: "Leader, recently some folks have reported that the crops planted on the wasteland reclaimed at the foot of the southern mountain have traces of being overwhelmed by wild boars.

I will take the soldiers to try their luck.

In addition, during this period of time, our army's marksmanship training has not fallen behind. Although the reloading ammunition is used, it can't be wasted in vain.

So I thought, instead of wasting our live ammunition training on target shooting, it would be better to use it on wild boars.

This wild boar is a living creature, it runs fast enough, has higher requirements for marksmanship, and is closer to actual combat.

If you can even hit the wild boar, you are not afraid that you will not be able to hit the little devil on the battlefield.

Just recently, there were wild boars that harmed the villagers’ crops at the foot of the mountain. We shot the wild boars and got rid of the harm for the villagers. We not only practiced marksmanship, but also climbed the mountain to exercise physical fitness while chasing wild boars. We also got some pork back for preparation. New Year's goods, isn't this a good thing? "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Wen Jie, you still have a lot of ideas, I think this is a good idea."

"In this way, not only the Fifth Battalion, but also other troops are also mobilized to gather the soldiers who used to be hunters in our team and let them lead the team. We will hunt game in the surrounding mountains, practice marksmanship, and exercise physical fitness , by the way prepare some new year goods."

Li Wenjie said: "Leader, I have another suggestion."

"Oh, you said."

"We came to Niukou Village to disturb the villagers. The wild animals on the mountain, whether they are wild boars, hares, or pheasants, although they are wild animals, are always around the village, and they are regarded as resources for the villagers.

It's no problem for us to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars, but after we win, we have to share some with the folks. "

Kong Jie agreed: "This is what it should be. Fortunately, you reminded us that when our team was stationed in the base area when it was the most difficult time, the boss explained that we should not pick the leaves around the root and leave the leaves to the villagers.

Our Eighth Route Army is the soldiers of the people, and we must not forget this at any time. "

"Yes--"

The soldiers responded in unison.

When leaving the Fifth Battalion, Kong Jie was accompanied by Monk Wei, the instructor of the Fifth Battalion Li Wenjie, the commander of the Fifth Battalion Li Aiguo, and the deputy commander of the Fifth Battalion Zhu Wu.

The destination is some villages where the Fifth Battalion is stationed.

Zhangjiazhuang.

Kong Jie and his party stepped on the snow on the ground and knocked on a farmhouse. After a while, the wooden door opened. An old man over five years old looked at Kong Jie and laughed with a cracked mouth. Come in, the coal fire is burning in the house, just to warm up and warm up."

"Haha, old Uncle Zhang, please excuse me." Kong Jie laughed.

"Excuse me, Commander Kong, you can come to Er's house for a sit down, Er's heart is sweeter than eating honey!"

Everyone talked and laughed, and was welcomed into the house by Uncle Zhang, the village head. Uncle Zhang found some benches, and everyone sat around the coal stove burning briquettes, stretching out their hands to warm the fire.

"Old Uncle Zhang, is this coal stove good?" Kong Jie asked with a smile as he warmed the fire.

Old Uncle Zhang said happily: "It's so easy to use. I've never seen such a useful gadget. With this gadget, how can we worry about the cold in winter? It can warm up the fire and boil water. A piece of coal will still be burning when you get up the next day, which is much more convenient than starting a stove by yourself.

I live alone, and with this thing, life doesn't have to be so troublesome.

Commander Kong, you are really amazing, you can research this kind of thing! "

Kong Jie said: "As long as it is easy to use, by the way, old Uncle Zhang, is there anyone in our village who doesn't have this coal stove?"

Old Uncle Zhang said: "Yes, there are all! Every household has them. The blacksmith Zhang at the entrance of the village works all day long. There are not many families in our village, so we don't need much."

"By the way, blacksmith Zhang is a young man, but he has found a living. He can make a lot of money by lighting the stove all day and selling some briquettes.

"If you want me to say, your Eighth Route Army is too expensive. Not only did you send us this coal stove, but you also taught the blacksmiths in the village the business of this coal stove. Isn't this letting us steal business? Why don't you Eighth Route Army get it yourself? If you sell money in the county town, you can beat devils if you get something.”

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Old Uncle Zhang, what you said is wrong. When will our Eighth Route Army be the richest? Naturally, our Eighth Route Army will be the richest when the people in our base areas become rich."

"The life of the folks is getting better. If the folks have a bite to eat, our Eighth Route Army is really going to be very difficult. Can we still starve to death?"

Uncle Zhang laughed like a child.

"Commander Kong, you are right. When the time comes when we villagers are needed, even if you are hungry, you must give us the Eighth Route Army comrades the anti-Japanese rations!"

"Why?"

"Whoever treats us well and who treats us badly, we people also have a steelyard in our hearts!
Commander Kong, when you come to our generation, you first buy copper coins, which is simply giving us money for nothing.

Then, militia units were formed in each village to protect the village and solve various problems for the elders and villagers in the village.

There is little needlework in life, and comrades from the Eighth Route Army even came to help. What else can we say about such an army?

Since your independent group arrived in this area, devils, puppet soldiers, and bandits have never dared to come to the village to harass you. How long has it been since the villagers lived such a stable life?
My old Zhang doesn’t understand other reasons, but I believe that as long as our Eighth Route Army comrades are around, sooner or later, the little devils will be driven away, and sooner or later, our lives will be easier. "

...When they left old uncle Zhang's house, all the cadres were a little emotional, and old uncle Zhang's last words seemed to still echo in their ears.

Du Aiguo, the Fifth Battalion Commander who used to be the commander of the North China Security Army, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Regimental Commander, I really understand now why our Eighth Route Army has grown all the way to today, not the National Army, not the Jinsui Army. army."

"Such a troop that is sincerely for the people, why doesn't he grow stronger?"

Kong Jie said: "Well said, Lao Du, you can say these words, which proves that you are enlightened.

Our Eighth Route Army has been able to go all the way to this day because we have always upheld a belief that our Eighth Route Army will never be able to leave the people, and the Eighth Route Army without the people, can it still be called the Eighth Route Army? "

"Wen Jie, it's the same sentence, you should be more careful about the briquettes and the coal stove."

"Our independent group has a way to make money, and we can never forget the people. This is the principle of never forgetting the well digger."

"If you have money, let's make it together, if you get rich, let's make it together!"

"The village trains more blacksmiths, and those who lack some materials and equipment, let's find a way.

This simple coal stove can be built in every village.

In addition, we also send some of the coal we mined to the villagers, so that the villagers can produce coal stoves and briquettes by themselves, and they can also take them to the county to earn some money to subsidize their families. "

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"This coal stove is made of simple materials, and it is not a rare item. The villagers took the coal stove, went to the county to sell it, and then bought back the materials for making the coal stove. Doing some business can stimulate the economy of the entire village."

"In addition, on the premise that we ensure the stability of the base area, we encourage the villagers to vigorously reclaim wasteland and grow crops."

"Wars are everywhere these days, and food is always fundamental."

"Yes!" Li Wenjie replied.

Kong Jie continued: "Oh, by the way, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and on the one hand, our base must hurry up to prepare for the New Year.

This tense string has been fought for a year, and at the end of the year, it is time for the soldiers to relax.

In addition, the living conditions of the villagers in the surrounding villages are also concerned. If any household is in difficulty, if there is not enough New Year's goods, more help and subsidies will be given.

Finally, there is the issue of devils and traitors. It would be outrageous if they don’t give gifts to devils and traitors during the Chinese New Year.

In this area occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops, the maintenance associations in the surrounding villages and towns sent some cadres there to give them New Year greetings and give them some gifts along the way.

What are you sending?Just send this red and black account.

Tell these traitors clearly, how many good deeds they have done, and how many evil deeds they have done, my independent group will keep accounts for them, so that they can do it for themselves. "

"Yes!"

The cadres responded in unison, held back their laughter, and mourned for these traitors for two seconds from the bottom of their hearts.
