Independence Corps

Chapter 34 The Rebellion (1)
The news of the devil's aggressive attack reached Shen Mengzi's ears one step ahead.

The information was sent by Tan Weiming, the commander of the 12th Division. Tan Weiming said in the letter that Miyata not only dispatched all the troops in Gucheng, but also ordered the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, which was resting in the Baishui River area, to divide into two groups. The Sanjiamo area in the lower reaches of the river goes northward, and meets the 40th division led by Miyata at the Confucius Temple 25 kilometers away from Miliang City.A stream went straight to the popular ditch, came up from Gui Jianchou, and hit Shen Mengzi's Huajialing directly.Tan Weiming had sent two brigades overnight to occupy the Confucius Temple first, intercepted Izawa of the 56th Division for three days, and cut off his connection with Miyata.At the same time, another brigade was sent to extend 30 kilometers to the east to snipe Miyata and the 25th Division, forcing them to slow down their speed into Miliang Mountain.Tan Weiming asked Shen Mengzi's 72nd regiment to withdraw from Luanshigangzi, return to Huajialing, and re-arm in Huajialing. Luanshigangzi and Wufengling were guarded by his two regiments.At the same time, he told Shen Mengzi about a place. This place is very important. Whether or not Huajialing can be kept depends on whether Shen Mengzi can get ahead of Colonel Benz and the others in Hongshuigou, and blow up the dangerous opening so that Colonel Benz can come. No answer!

Shen Mengzi didn't dare to ask where the information came from. Since the war until now, Tan Weiming has always been able to get the quasi-information from the devils one step ahead of him. Including the time when the devils attacked and the weapons and equipment used.Tan Weiming said that the devils not only dispatched tanks this time, they probably also had planes covering them in the air, so Shen Mengzi must be prepared for an air counterattack.

Counterattack in the air, natural danger, as soon as these two words came out, Shen Mengzi knew that Miyata would no longer play the game of temptation. He came here with his bloody mouth open, full of ambitions to swallow Miliangcheng completely. down.

Aggressive!
After dismissing the messenger, Shen Mengzi immediately called Lao Luan and explained the situation briefly.As soon as he heard that the devil really found Gui Jianchou, Lao Luan jumped up and scolded: "I knew it was that little bastard from Cang Ye, and that little elf from the Meng family, grandma, and it's a shame that Lao Bai is still infatuated with her."

"Old chaos!" Shen Mengzi shouted.Lao Luan still doesn't believe that there is such a thing as bullshit Fan Mazi in this world, it must be a little devil playing tricks.

Lao Luan was not convinced, and shouted: "Who else would she have, I don't understand, why do you have to protect her, isn't it just the one who cooks?"

"Old Luan, are you finished?" Shen Mengzi's face darkened, Lao Luan always doesn't care about the occasion, when is it now, can he still yell these things?

Lan Xiaoshi, the commander of the Sixth Battalion, made trouble for Lao Chao, and the others also stared at him, and Lao Chao calmed down.

"Everyone, don't shout, listen to the head of the group." Bi Chuanyun's face was tense, and Shen Mengzi's words just now stirred up huge waves in his heart.

"There's no time for further discussions. The little devils have cast their nets all over the place. The time for a decisive battle is coming. Brothers, this is a life-and-death battle..." Shen Mengzi's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if his throat was blocked by something. live.Perhaps, he had seen the defeat in advance, no, it was worse than the defeat.He didn't expect that Miyata would really push all the troops of the three divisions, three divisions!He sighed a long time, cheered up and said, "There is no other way now, but to fight hard. The little devil is determined to eat us, Lao Luan, political commissar Bi, you have followed me for so many years, this time I'm afraid I'm sorry brothers." Shen Mengzi's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was close to whimpering.The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tragic, and everyone's face was stained with sadness.Lao Luan shook his head: "Master, don't make things so evil, our 72nd regiment has died more than once. It's a blessing to be able to walk out of Miliang Mountain alive, and we'll be damn content if we die. It's better than dying at the hands of your own family. Brothers, raise your head up and listen to the big boss. From now on, if I make a fuss again, I won't be a man. If the little devil dares to come, we will be kind Go up, brothers, don’t you think so?”

"Boss, tell me, brothers are not afraid of death, you can fight whatever you want!"

"That's right, when did our 72nd regiment fear death, you bastard, let him come and go!"

As soon as Lao Luan was stirred up, the atmosphere immediately became active again. The brothers all looked at Shen Mengzi, waiting for him to speak.

Shen Mengzi finally breathed out from under the heavy pressure of the darkness, straightened his waist, and ordered in a loud voice: "Old Luan, take two battalions and rush to the mouth of the natural danger overnight, bring more explosives, and give me the natural danger." The hole was blown flat, so the stupid Izawa couldn't find a way to see his parents."

"Yes!" Lao Lun put away his sluggish body, saluted Shen Mengzi, and replied loudly.

"Also, after blowing up the natural danger hole, deploy defenses on the spot, and spread the attack along the hill. I don't believe that the devil's plane can blow up the natural danger mountain."

After explaining to Lao Luan, Shen Mengzi turned to Bi Chuanyun: "The political commissar commanded the third battalion and the fifth battalion to withdraw from Luanshigangzi and set up defenses on our old position in Wufengling. It must be concealed. The other battalions rushed to repair the fortifications tonight and dig more. A few trenches, don't let the devil's tanks pass unimpeded."

Speaking of this, Shen Mengzi sighed, and said again: "Mr. Tan is very interesting. He not only brought us a letter, but also thought about it for us. But we can't be too mean, and leave Wufengling to Lao Tan. In this heart, feel sorry."

Everyone nodded and said "yes". At this time, they had already become one with the 12th division at the foot of the mountain.

After all the arrangements were made, Lao Luan and Bi Chuanyun led the people away separately, and Shen Mengzi called the scout Lu Yichuan again, asking him to spend the night at the Red Shuigou and go to Niangniang Mountain.

Shen Mengzi handed Tan Weiming's letter to Lu Yichuan, and said, "I didn't take you there last time because I saw that you were always distracted and lost your mind. This time, if you dare to make a mistake, don't come back, you know?" ?”

"Know!"

"As long as you know, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Compared with the situation on the mountain, the rice grain city at the foot of the mountain is a different scene.

Tu Lanlong fell into a crisis, which he himself did not expect.

In those days when the 12th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese army, Tu Lanlong refused to fire, which caused him a lot of trouble.

Tu Lanlong seems to have forgotten the fact that although Liuji and Miliangcheng are separated by a river, they are definitely a family.In other words, Liu Ji is a piece of meat, an arm or a leg of Mi Liangcheng. Since ancient times, we have never been divided between you and me.Tu Lanlong wanted to use a stone bridge to separate them artificially, which is really absurd.

Did Tu Lanlong really forget?No one answered.

No matter whether he forgets it or not, and no matter what he thinks, the people in the city don't agree. They don't want to see Tan Weiming's 12th Division fall into a passive situation of fighting alone.

The first one to jump out was Master Zeng!
The unremarkable Master Zeng waited for a few days, but the young commander of Meiyuan sent troops to support Liu Ji's Tan Weiming, and he was suddenly angry when he heard the gunfire from Ma'anpo and Taiping Lake blasting the hearts of the people in the city. .

"Shrinking your head, Commander Shit!" He scolded Tu Lanlong in class.After scolding was not enough, I once again explained to my disciples the principle of "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", and then waved his hand: "Whoever is not afraid of death, come with me, and talk to this turtle commander!"

Almost at the same time, the female student named Lin Jianying also waved her arms and led more than thirty girls to rush out of the school gate.

Master Zeng was moved by the female disciple's feat, and said with emotion: "Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits cannot be trusted. To save China, we have to rely on people with lofty ideals!" After finishing speaking, regardless of Principal Wang's obstruction and opposition, He resolutely joined the two teams together and strode out into the street.

Master Zeng originally thought it was to put pressure on Tu Lanlong in Meiyuan, but in fact, at this time, he still respects Tu Lanlong.Mr. Zeng just felt awkward. What he expected was that as soon as Liu Ji exchanged fire, the 11th Group Army deployed in the city would immediately fight out, beat the little devils and open fire everywhere, so that the devils didn't even have the time to call their father and mother.But Liu Ji's battle has been fought for a few days. Seeing the devils blow up Ma'anpo, Tu Lanlong is still sitting in the plum garden, looking like he has nothing to do with himself.This is too outrageous, right?No, you have to reason with him, at least let him understand that the 12th division is our own brother, a melon on the vine, even if you have a feud with Mr. Tan Weiming, you can't make fun of the lives of the brothers.Of course, Master Zeng was not only worried about the 12th Division, he was worried about the 72nd Regiment on the mountain.Shen Mengzi is a hero. Although he has joined the Communist Party, the Communist Party is also a Chinese. Can't you stop helping him just because he beat you?As the saying goes, stinky meat has the same taste. After all, we are also Chinese. If the Chinese don’t help the Chinese, how can we still be called Chinese?That's no longer a traitor, running dog, or bastard!
Mentioning traitors made Master Zeng even more angry.These days he pays special attention to the war, and reads a lot of newspapers. It is convenient for Master Zeng to read newspapers. The school has newspapers, and he can also go to Meng Bingliang and the Chamber of Commerce to get newspapers.It seems that the most annoying thing is to suffer defeat everywhere.Master Zeng concluded that the defeat of the national army was not to the Japanese, but to his own family.Those puppet soldiers and traitors are really wolf-hearted.This land raised them. Not only did they not defend their homes, but they even turned their guns and helped wolves and robbers plunder and occupy their homes.shameful, hateful.Master Zeng lamented that people's hearts are not old. He wrote Yue Fei's "Manjianghong" overnight, and asked his disciples to copy more than 50 copies the next day, and posted them in various theaters.Xibazi was posted by him himself, and when he posted it, he even shouted slogans: "Defend the family and protect the country, expel the Japanese invaders, and return my country!" Unfortunately, there were not many people in the theater at that time, except for the leader Ma who responded a few times. Everyone else was indifferent, especially the two newcomers who stood on the stage and looked at him strangely, as if he was not from this world.

The more Master Zeng thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he felt that he had a heavy responsibility.Master Zeng thought, he is the Chinese culture teacher of Miliang Normal School, the Chinese culture teacher of Quanmiliang City, no, the Chinese culture teacher of Quanmiliang Mountain.What is the responsibility of a Chinese culture teacher? It is not just to teach students "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness", nor is it to teach students to sing "Book of Songs" and read "Li Sao".More importantly, he wants the people of Miliang to understand chastity. What chastity is is not the three obediences and four virtues of women, nor is it the integrity of the Chinese nation.

Yes, integrity, integrity is chastity, and chastity can also be understood as integrity.Thinking in this way, he became very popular in poetry, and immediately wrote a poem, but later he felt that it was too elegant, and most of the common people could not understand it.Every Miliang person must be able to read it, not only understand it, but also be able to sing and roar, must roar!
Master Zeng thought hard and finally came up with a fluent and easy-to-understand poem:
Wake up, brothers and sisters in Miliangcheng

we no longer sleep
The jackal opened its mouth wide

approaching us
Japanese pirates flying cannons
destroying the lives of fellow citizens

Wake up, we will never sleep

We're going to use fists and iron bars

get rid of these beasts
drive out the enemy

blood debt

Let Rice Grain City Return to Peace
Master Zeng was so excited that he stayed up all night, chanting and revising repeatedly, and early the next morning, he called Lin Jianying who he admired the most, let go of his voice, and read aloud to her.Lin Jianying was so excited that tears came down immediately. If it weren't for the many taboos between teachers and students, Lin Jianying might really want to hug him and cry profusely.After listening to the teacher's words, Lin Jianying also became very poetic, picked up the pen from the teacher's desk, and wrote a poem on the spot:
we are not slaves
we don't do traitors
in my flesh and blood

Co-cast the Great Wall of Steel
"Okay!" Seeing the words "Great Wall of Steel", Master Zeng became even more excited: "As long as the millions of people in Miliang City unite their hearts and hold hands, there will be an indestructible Great Wall of Steel!"

The master and apprentice immediately copied out their poems and posted them in the most conspicuous place of the school.In one day, the two poems spread throughout Miliang City, and the effect was surprisingly good.Up to now, everyone in Miliang City is well-known to women and children, Master Zeng's name is almost as loud as that of Young Commander Tu Lanlong.

On that day, Master Zeng had these two poems in his arms, and he wanted to recite them aloud in Tu Lanlong's plum garden, to let Tu Lanlong know that not everyone is as afraid of death as he is, and not everyone is as afraid of death as he is. I don't care about my brother's life or death.He wants to make Tu Lanlong vigilant, he wants to make Tu Lanlong ashamed, he wants to use this method to force Tu Lanlong to declare war!

Unfortunately, Master Zeng's wish didn't come true. Before the parade team set foot on No. 2 Road, guards with live ammunition rushed them away.Wu Qi, the captain of the pistol team, and Ruan Xiaoliu, Tu Lanlong's driver, were all inside. With a decisive attitude, they mercilessly extinguished the patriotic enthusiasm fanned up by Master Zeng and Lin Jianying.Wu Qi, the captain of the pistol team, also warned Master Zeng that if he dares to gather crowds to make trouble again, be careful to put him in confinement!

Master Zeng first reasoned with Wu Qi, strongly demanded to meet Tu Lanlong, and submitted a petition to Tu Lanlong.Wu Qi smiled, and said in a mocking tone: "I said Master, you must be confused by Shunian, go back and get cold water, and wash your brain well."

"You—" Master Zeng was too angry to speak.

The tall girl Lin Jianying was very tenacious that day, refusing to listen to Wu Qi, Ruan Xiaoliu's advice, and later even refused to talk to Ruan Xiaoliu and others, threatening that if Tu Lanlong didn't give an explanation to the people in the city, she would die in May. Yuan sat quietly to the end, she wanted to wake up Tu Lanlong and the sleeping people in this way.There was no way, after the parade dispersed, Ruan Xiaoliu arranged for two guards to lead Lin Jianying into the plum garden.

The moment he saw Lin Jianying, Tu Lanlong had a hallucination of a world away. He often has this hallucination these days.News from all directions, as well as intelligence and telegrams sent by the Minister's Department every three hours, seriously disturbed his thinking.For a day or two he felt that he had lost his sense of judgment and lacked discernment.Which one is true and which one is false, he couldn't tell, and he couldn't prove it.He felt that the world had become complicated overnight, and the Japanese had messed it up.The executive department is in chaos, the military aircraft department is in chaos, and the chairman's place is also in chaos.The content of the previous telegram was completely different from the latter telegram, and the orders ran counter to each other.Suddenly he said that he would fight, and then he said that he would stand still. What was even more frightening was the news from his good friend Zhao Shiming.

Zhao Shiming first said that he had heard the truth about his wife Zu Tiao and his daughter. They were in the Occupied Area of ​​Taiyuan, and he was trying to contact Zhu Hongda. In a few days, Tu Lanlong could see his wife and daughter.Three days after Tu Lanlong was happy, Zhao Shiming sent another confidential message, saying that Zhu Hongda was missing and could not be contacted alive or alive.Then there was another confidential telegram, saying that the place he inquired about was false, and the people he sent to rescue the mother and daughter fell into a trap and all died!
Then, Tu Lanlong lost the news of Zhao Shiming, and could not be contacted through various methods.As a last resort, he had no choice but to ask General Fu for help, trying to use General Fu's strength to really rescue his wife and daughter.Unexpectedly, General Fu is in an inextricable fight with Little Japan, Wuyuan may not be able to defend, and General Fu will face another failure in his life.

Tu Lanlong was frustrated and desperate, no, he was going crazy.No one could understand the pain in his heart. Chief Yan sent him to Miliang City, apparently to take over the 11th Army Group, but secretly, he wanted to use his hand to take over the land that his adoptive father had managed all his life, and this land. A huge force is easily in his hands, this is the dream of Chief Yan for more than ten years!
Only now did Tu Lanlong completely believe that this was a conspiracy.He could only blame himself. Hearing the news of his adoptive father's death, he couldn't sit still in Datong for a moment. He wished he could step into Miliang City and save his adoptive father at the last moment.Chief Yan grasped his mentality, and before the chairman could react, he quickly sent him into Miliang City.At that time, he only had his adoptive father in his heart, and he didn't think much about Tiao Tiao's mother and daughter. Chief Yan swore, "Don't worry, I will take care of their mother and daughter. I will send them there when your place is stable."

The truth is, Chief Yan took them hostage!
That's all, as long as he doesn't disobey Chief Yan's will too much, and do some tricks in secret, there is still hope for the mother and daughter to return to him. One hundred thousand troops.But he didn't expect that he went to Miliang City to take over the 11th Army, which annoyed the chairman.It was only two days ago that he found out that the chairman had already decided on the candidates for the 11th Army Group. Once his foster father Tu Zhucheng had an accident, the 11th Army would immediately become the direct line of the chairman.His appearance is tantamount to ruining the chairman's good and important event.

Even more absurd, this candidate is none other than Tan Weiming, the commander of the 12th Division!

Tan Weiming!Tu Lanlong chewed the name bitterly again!
Tu Lanlong stared fixedly at the tall girl Lin Jianying for a full 5 minutes, seeing that Lin Jianying's face turned red and white for a while, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

In fact, Tu Lanlong didn't have any malicious intentions. For a moment, he felt in a trance that it was Tutau who came in front of him, and almost ran over to hug her.It's really strange, these days, as long as it is a woman, if he sees it suddenly, it will look like a squid.The night before last night when he was in the war room, he mistook the telegraph operator for Tsuta, and it was Ruan Xiaoliu who reminded him later.Last night, he was walking alone in the Plum Garden when he happened to run into He Yingying.He Yingying was under the tree at that time, looking melancholy and sad, as if she was dead.Tu Lanlong was confused by her sad back, walked over, and hugged her without saying anything.He Yingying was so startled that she yelled several times, and the cries startled Wu Qi and Ruan Xiaoliu. The two ran over from behind the rockery and pinched He Yingying's hands indiscriminately. Wake up quickly, He Yingying's two arms were probably about to be broken last night.

What's wrong with me?Tu Lanlong shook his head fiercely, trying to wake himself up from the daze.In the past two days, he has asked Ruan Xiaoliu and Wu Qi many times about similar questions, and they are also very worried about him.Last night, after comforting He Yingying, Ruan Xiaoliu went to his room on purpose and talked with him for a long time.Ruan Xiaoliu thought that he was crazy about the mother and daughter.
