The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 501 What is the popular opinion?

Yuan County.

In the alley next to the teahouse, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian waited here as agreed with Shen Wenyue.

Waiting was boring, the two chatted casually.

Zheng Tian said: "Xiao Wu, you have a sweet mouth, and you are not ashamed to call reporter Shen one by one."

Xiao Wu snorted, and proudly said: "You don't understand this, I call reporter Shen my sister, and soon reporter Shen will become our team leader's wife, hehe, isn't the team leader our brother?"

Zheng Tian: "..."

"You kid is really talented!"

"That is!"

The two waited for less than an hour before Shen Wenyue appeared.

It turned out that Shen Wenyue had already expected that after she returned to see her father this time, she would probably be detained by her father at home, so she told Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian to wait for her in the alley outside the teahouse in advance, and she would definitely escape.

"Xiao Wu, Squad Leader Zheng!" Shen Wenyue walked over, smiling like a flower, and greeted her.

Xiao Wu asked suspiciously: "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. I'm familiar with the way. I can think of four or five ways to escape from my house at any time. My father wants to lock me up unless he can bear to break both of his good daughter's legs." Shen Wenyue was proud road.

Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian were speechless for a while.

Shen Wenyue said: "Xiao Wu, Squad Leader Zheng, I know that Captain Kong told you that after escorting me back, you two will go to find Company Commander Han next, right?"

Xiao Wu nodded.

Shen Wenyue's eyes showed a touch of excitement, "Right now, the Japanese army and the national army are still fighting in the Zhongtiaoshan area. The battle at this time must be more serious, and the guerrilla warfare behind the enemy must be more exciting. I would like to trouble you two to lead me go together."

"Here, sister, we are mainly here to escort you back this time. It would be too dangerous to go to the enemy's rear for guerrilla warfare." Xiao Wu remonstrated.

Shen Wenyue said: "I can be a reporter with the army. Guerrilla warfare has always been behind the enemy lines and has been unknown. In fact, I have always felt that the deeds of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in guerrilla warfare behind the enemy lines and their persistence in resisting Japan should be reported and let the common people know."

"In addition, as you have seen, 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 area when I was in the base area of ​​Niukou Village."

Well, we've come to this point, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian could only nod their heads.

Of course, before leaving, Shen Wenyue said that she needed to go to Ji County and return to the newspaper office to see the situation.

If the materials captured in the follow-up can be published through newspapers, it will be very effective in awakening the anti-Japanese sentiment 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 again and entered Ji County.

After returning to the newspaper office, Shen Wenyue successfully met her colleague Yu Ming, that is, the male reporter who interviewed Kong Jie when the independent regiment was dealing with the [-]st regiment of the national army that secretly defected to the Japanese.

I remember that when Shen Wenyue first met Kong Jie, it was the photo of Kong Jie that Yu Ming showed Shen Wenyue.

Since he didn't know the specific situation of the newspaper office, Zheng Tian asked Xiao Wu to go to the newspaper office to find Yu Ming, and called Yu Ming outside the newspaper office to meet Shen Wenyue in private.

Seeing Shen Wenyue, Yu Ming had joy and surprise on his face, "Wen Yue, you are finally back. Everyone is still worried about you. You are really bold enough to say that you are going to interview the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy lines. The second The day is gone."

Shen Wenyue smiled and said, "I've come back well, haven't I? By the way, there haven't been any accidents in the newspaper recently, right?"

Yu Ming's expression changed slightly, and he said, "I was just about to tell you about this. After the national army's frontline position was lost, the Japanese army quickly attacked and occupied the county town, and all the officers and soldiers in the city ran away.

After the Japanese army occupied the county seat, in addition to controlling the city gates and important military sites, they also went to various newspaper offices to record the roster. Our newspaper office was no exception. Everyone's name was registered in the roster.

The traitor who led the team said that if we dare to publish any remarks that are unfavorable to the Japanese army, everyone will be punished. Now people in the newspaper office are panicking, and there are many people who curse devils. "

"However, the editor-in-chief told us in advance that everyone ignored your existence tacitly. We also sent news to Uncle Shen that your name is not registered."

"Wen Yue, hurry up and don't come to the newspaper again!"

Shen Wenyue said: "What about you? What should everyone do?"

Yu Mingdao: "The editor-in-chief said that the devils are watching closely at the moment. We dare not publish newspapers that talk about resisting Japan and saving the country. But if we are asked to deliberately publish some newspapers that promote devils, we are not willing. It is really impossible. The newspaper office Let’s just close it down, and everyone will find their own way of life.”

Shen Wenyue nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Then, the two talked about the topic that Shen Wenyue really went to the base of the Eighth Route Army.

Yu Ming was full of admiration for this, "Wen Yue, you are a madwoman recognized by our newspaper, you really deserve your reputation.

This base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy, you went as soon as you said, and encountered a large-scale raid by the Japanese army as soon as you went there.

We have heard a little bit about the matter here, and we have been worrying about you all the time! "

Shen Wenyue said with emotion: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either, I just happened to catch up."

"Have you seen Commander Kong? How about it? Is he just like what I said, a great general?"

When he said this, there was a bit of fanaticism in Yu Ming's eyes.

Shen Wenyue smiled and nodded, "Looking at the sword with the lamp on while drunk, and dreaming of returning to the company of blowing horns, this time I really saw it."

"What's next? What are you going to do? Don't tell me you're going back to Shen's house to stay honestly. That's not the character of a madwoman." 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!"

"God, you don't want to die?"

"I'm not going to fight, I'm just a reporter with the army. I have to tell the people that even in the enemy's rear, there are still troops like the guerrillas fighting bravely, and they have been persisting."

Yu Ming said helplessly: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything, anyway, your character is not something others can say.

Speaking of it, I admire you more and more, and 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 it, even if you are in the enemy-occupied area, you can do nothing."

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"You can secretly publish some newspapers as a secret appeal to people with lofty ideals to secretly participate in anti-Japanese activities. On the side of the Eighth Route Army, in many counties behind the enemy, there are some comrades who secretly assist the Eighth Route Army comrades in their propaganda work. "

"This..." Yu Ming thought of the excitement and risks involved, couldn't help but swallowed, and said, "You are a woman who can go all out, but I can't lose the face of a man, Wen Yue, you are right, I will seriously consider it, and in addition, if your guerrillas need help from the newspaper, I will definitely help you."

"Okay!" Shen Wenyue said.

After leaving the newspaper office, they bought food for a few days in the city, and the three of Shen Wenyue left Ji County.

Dressed up as ordinary people, the three of them were completely out of the county and out of the control of the Japanese army, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that Shen Wenyue was a little at a loss as to where to go next.

Zheng Tian said: "If Company Commander Han's guerrillas exist, most of them will be in some remote mountainous areas and villages. If we want to find them, we might as well search along some villages. We can always find out the whereabouts of some guerrillas. The control of small and large villages outside of China is also relatively lax.”

The three made up their minds and set off on the journey.

As Zheng Tian said, for the remote villages in the county seat, the Japanese army’s control is relatively lax. In addition, the Zhongtiaoshan battle has not yet been completely over, and the little devil’s attention is on the national army positions. The people don't pay much attention to it.

The three of Shen Wenyue traveled all the way, and stopped for a while when they encountered some villages. By the way, they asked if there was any news about the guerrillas.

The young and strong people in the village were either forcibly recruited by the national army long ago, or they had no other relatives in the village, so they fled.

Most of the people left in the village are old people and children, and they don’t even have much labor force. One can imagine the hardship of the village. In addition to bandits, various warlords pass by from time to time, and then enter the village to rob.

The villages outside the county are not under the jurisdiction of the people, but they have become a place for unrighteous teams from all sides to act recklessly.

Probably because I think that if I don’t rob it, someone will always rob it.

"Guerrillas? Yes, there are. They appeared a few days ago. They are all worse than bandits and bandits. When they enter the village, they will grab things without saying a word."

When passing Xiaogu Village, Shen Wenyue asked a villager about it, and the villager gritted his teeth and said.

"Aren't the guerrillas fighting devils? How could they steal things from the common people?" Xiao Wu couldn't help asking, wondering if the fellow had misunderstood something.

The fellow scolded: "What are you fighting against devils? It's just a bunch of bastards, hungry wolves, even worse than bandits. The bandits even know to leave some food seeds for us! These bastards are robbing whatever they see, and they can't hold the front position." , was driven into the mountains by the devils, and went to the village to rob a few times when nothing happened, but I didn't see them beating the devils."

Zheng Tian said: "Are the remnants of the national army routed from the front line?"

The fellow said: "It's these white dogs."

The three of Zheng Tian were silent. They were a little helpless when they left the village. They were defeated like bandits. Today, they have seen it.

The people living in the chaos of war have suffered so much, who will show mercy?
Xiao Wu scolded on the road: "How can the national army be considered a guerrilla? It is far from our Eighth Route Army guerrilla. It is not a unit of the same nature at all."

Shen Wenyue couldn't accept such a fact.

Having stayed in the Kuomintang-controlled area for many years, she has also heard many stories of the national army's heroic resistance against Japan.

Coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the national military government, at least in the eyes of the people in the Kuomintang-controlled area, the soldiers of the national army are all good men who fought bloody battles.

This time when she came to the enemy's rear, Shen Wenyue originally expected that the guerrillas of the National Army who stayed behind the enemy would be able to fight the enemy bravely like the Eighth Route Army and fight against the Japanese invaders.

The truth made her a little disappointed.

From the gritted teeth of the villagers, Shen Wenyue could feel the people's anger at the guerrilla troops left behind by the national army.

And around the bases of the Eighth Route Army, not only the bases of the Independent Regiment, but also some villages under the jurisdiction of the bases of other regiments.

Out of a comprehensive investigation, Shen Wenyue visited them all.

In those villages, the word-of-mouth of the Eighth Route Army troops in the villages is simply amazing.

"They will never take every needle and thread from our masses, and sometimes they will issue IOUs when they need something."

"The Eighth Route Army is disciplined, the soldiers of the people!"

These are by no means just talk. Shen Wenyue has witnessed many times how the villagers in the local villages actively responded and cooperated when the Eighth Route Army troops were working in the villages of Gentu.

The integration of the army and the people can be seen almost everywhere in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

Both sides judged.

But after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes until I continued to march to some remote villages to find the guerrillas.

Not long after, Shen Wenyue witnessed with her own eyes the remnants of the National Army who plundered a village after they entered it, making the whole village restless.

In the situation at that time, Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian had no choice but to be interrogated all the way, and they had long since lost their weapons.

In the end, with the help of some fellow villagers, he hid in the house and escaped unharmed.

At this point, the truth and facts were before her eyes, and Shen Wenyue finally believed in the fact that the guerrillas of the national army wantonly oppressed, coerced, and robbed the people behind the enemy lines.

Then, after searching for a trip for more than two weeks, the food they brought had already been eaten up. The three of them persisted with the help of fellow villagers from some villages they met in the surrounding area.

During the period, I heard some news one after another.

The Japanese army's offensive momentum was fierce, and the national army has been retreating continuously, and many positions have been lost.

I heard that the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River was also controlled by the Japanese army. The devils were controlling the two directions, sweeping back and forth in the mountains, and wiped 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 a national army. "

The villager nodded and said, "Yes, I saw that army a few days ago, not far from the village.

We thought it was a white dog, and we were taken aback.

They fought a battle there and wiped out some Japanese and puppet troops. When they passed by the village, they also gave away some of the captured grain to everyone.

They said that they were the Eighth Route Army, who came here to establish anti-Japanese bases behind enemy lines and fight devils.

They are what you are looking for, right? "

Xiao Wu was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "It's them, fellow townsman, 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 been a great help to us!"

After finding out the news about Han Feng and his party, the three of Xiao Wu temporarily lived in Luoshan Village, and then searched for the whereabouts of the guerrillas during the day.
