Chapter 3 Knife Trial

At 10 o'clock in the evening of September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army sabotaged a section of the railway at Liutiao Lake in the northern suburbs of Shenyang, adopted the despicable trick of shouting and catching thieves, and accused the Chinese army of blowing up the "South Manchurian Railway" and "attacking the Japanese army". 18. "The incident broke out. Under the order of non-resistance of the Kuomintang government, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast suffered heavy casualties and were forced to tearfully leave the camp. On the 19th, the Japanese army occupied Shenyang. In less than a week, the Japanese army occupied more than a dozen important towns as far south as Yingkou, north as Siping, and east as Andong. Jilin and Changchun fell one after another. In late November, the Japanese captured Heilongjiang Province. In February of the following year, the Japanese captured Jinzhou. At this point, the Japanese invaders captured the entire territory of the three northeastern provinces of China. On March 9, 1932, Japan cobbled together and directed the establishment of a puppet regime, the puppet Manchukuo, and began a 14-year-long fascist colonial rule in Northeast China, which caused more than 30 million compatriots in China to suffer miserably.

In order to quickly occupy the whole of China, the Japanese army launched a full-scale war against China. On the night of July 7, 1937, the Japanese garrison at Lugou Bridge held a so-called military exercise near the Chinese garrison's position without informing the local Chinese authorities, falsely claiming that a Japanese soldier was missing, and asked to enter Wanping County, southwest of Beiping, for a "search". The Chinese defenders sternly rejected this request. The Japanese opened fire on the area around the Lugou Bridge and attacked the Chinese defenders in the city, and the Chinese garrison fought back. On September 29 and 30, Beiping and Tianjin fell one after another. The CCP telegraphed the whole country and called for unity to resist Japan. Chiang Kai-shek also made a speech announcing his preparations for the War of Resistance. Since then, China has formed two battlefields -- the hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops are mainly fighting frontally in the Japanese attack, which is a frontal battlefield; In the Japanese-occupied areas, the people's armed forces led by the CCP opened up battlefields behind enemy lines, which gradually became the main battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The military situation on the battlefield in front of the front deeply affects the hearts of these martial arts school children, they find ways to donate more money and material support to those soldiers who are fighting bloodily on the front line, and actively participate in various activities to resist Japan and save the country, Zhang Yonghang and Li Yiyang go to the street every day to distribute leaflets, propaganda to unite the whole country to fight against Japan together, to promote the advanced ideas of the world, every day when they distribute leaflets, they will always be followed by a large group of children and advanced youth, Gradually, these advanced ideas were also influencing all the people who had been propagandized, and people gradually understood that the only way to save the country was to resist Japan by doing it themselves, and that it was impossible to wait for the army to save them, and the local people spontaneously organized guerrilla units and militia platoons to take advantage of the favorable terrain to carry out long-lasting guerrilla tactics against the enemy. Chairman Mao said well: "When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy retreats, I advance, when the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy flees, I chase." At first, they did not understand what it meant, but later they learned that the mode of warfare that follows the five basic principles of rational selection of combat locations, rapid deployment of troops, rational distribution of troops, rational selection of combat timing, and rapid retreat at the end of the battle is called guerrilla warfare.

One year later, that is, in 1938, their martial arts school was forced to close the school due to economic reasons, Zhang Yonghang and Li Yiyang resolutely chose to defect to the local guerrillas because they deeply hated the cruelty of the Japanese devils, but they didn't know whether Yuyan'er and Li Qing were willing, so they called the two of them out for a light meal and discussed the current way forward.

After meeting with Li Qing and Yan'er, the four of them sat in the small noodle restaurant and asked for a bowl of Yangchun noodles each, and said what they thought in their hearts while eating.

"Now that the national crisis is at hand, since we know martial arts, and there are anti-Japanese armed forces nearby, why don't we try to fight the enemy? I agreed to go to the partisans. Li Qing said.

"National revenge should be avenged, but our strength is too small!" Yan'er was a little hesitant.

Zhang Yonghang said: "I discussed with my eldest brother, instead of sitting and waiting for the devils to come and destroy us, it is better to go to the guerrillas myself!" ”

Li Yiyang said: "They are all practicing martial arts, and when the national disaster is over, they should put their personal life and death behind and drive the Japanese devils out of China wholeheartedly!" ”

"If you all go, how dare I fall behind! I'll go too! Let's use the skills in our hands to drive the Japanese devils back to their hometown in Japan! Yan'er said.

So everyone went around looking for the location of the guerrillas, but they couldn't find it, and after several months they still didn't have a clue, and everyone was very anxious. One day, the four of them walked through the reeds, and inadvertently bumped into a group of traitors, they marched in a line on the reeds, Yuyan'er saw it and hurriedly asked everyone to lie down, so several people nervously lay down in the reeds, "Sister, what should we do?" Zhang Yonghang said in a low voice.

Yu Yan'er counted the number of traitors in this team, "1, 2...... 7, 8. Eight in total, or one vote for him, two for one person," Yan'er proposed.

"Cheng, let's get moving!" The other three whispered.

Yan'er first rushed out of the reeds and flew out of a dart and hit a traitor's head, the traitor saw Hades in a blink of an eye, at this time a traitor raised a pistol and wanted to shoot Yan'er to death, at this time Yan'er flew out of a dart and shot the gun in his hand to the ground, Yi Yang raised the red tassel gun and aimed at the traitor's fierce stab, hit the chest, and stumbled to the ground; At the same time, Zhang Yonghang and Li Qing also raised their swords and rushed to the back of the gang of traitors, aimed at their necks and slashed down, just like cutting watermelons, and the two traitors saw the king of Hades, "Be careful!" Li Qing saw that a traitor raised his gun and fired a shot at Li Yiyang, and hurriedly shouted!

Yi Yang was dexterous, he dodged the bullet with a somersault, and a few darts were thrown away, and the traitor fell. At this time, another traitor raised his pistol and aimed at Zhang Yonghang for a while, Zhang Yonghang turned a few somersaults in a row before he dodged, but the traitor still kept shooting, Yan'er hurriedly raised his hand and flew a dart out, only to see that the traitor's fierce flash was actually dodged by him at this time and raised the gun to hit Yan'er, Yi Yang hurriedly stabbed the gun, the guy couldn't dodge, was stabbed in the back, and his life was whimpered, finally there was no danger! The remaining two traitors were so frightened that they hurriedly fled, and Li Qing quickly caught up, holding up the sword and killing them one by one.

Everyone packed up the eight pistols and some ammunition left by the traitors, and continued to embark on the road of searching for the guerrillas.
