Looking at the photo, perhaps because he felt something, Yang Zhen felt a voice in the dark and shouted to him again: "They are your parents, the parents who gave birth to you and raised you. You have to take good care of them, take care of your family, and don't let them be sad and miserable anymore. ”

When the voice in his heart fell, Yang Zhen stood up, walked around the wooden stunned for a long time, and made up his mind to guard the outside, leaving the space inside to Xiao Huzi, who wanted to talk to Yang Jicai alone, and called in: "How about letting you inquire?" Has this person figured out what he is doing? ”

Xiaohuzi took off the submachine gun on his body, closed the safe, and hung it up. Only while helping Yang Zhen make the bed, he replied: "No. 1, it's all clear." Many of those puppet Manchu soldiers were recruited by them together, and many of them were their fellow countrymen. ”

"Originally, they were going to distribute them to the puppet Manchurian military districts, but in the early part of the battle, we ate the puppet Manchurian army in Sanjiang cleanly. The little devils did not have enough troops, so they transferred all these puppet Manchurian soldiers to the Seventh Military District. ”

"Due to the urgency of the matter, these national soldiers have not even been disrupted according to their places of origin according to the usual practice, and they have all been transferred to Jiamusi. I didn't expect to be pressed by all of us in Jiamusi. Among this group of national soldiers, there are at least more than 200 of their fellow villagers. Among them, there were five or six students from high school in other countries. These people are very interested in me, and they are all young people who don't have much scheming. It was easy for me to get to the bottom of him. ”

"It's exactly what he says. Because this Yang Jicai was named by the Japanese director of the Kaiyuan County Police Department of the puppet Manchurians, he must join the puppet Manchurian national soldiers, and he is very famous in the recruit circle. These people, especially his fellow founders, know very well. ”

"One, I think it can be determined. But should the Ministry of Social Affairs take over the investigation? I'm not a regular investigator, so I'm not a specialty in this area after all. One, whether he's your own brother or not, we'd better be steady. After all, it's about your security and that of your headquarters. ”

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Do you know what I remembered?" I remembered the reason for the defection of Cheng Bin of the First Army. In addition to the deterioration of his shape and loss of faith, his mother fell into the hands of the Japanese. Family, after all, is a weakness. ”

"In this case, you don't leak this matter out yet. When we go back, you take this and all the national high school graduates in this batch of national soldiers with you. ”

"I think that in order to win people's hearts, the little devil is not too much in this regard now. There shouldn't be too many students from the national high school inside. These people were handed over to the Ministry of Social Affairs for review and then added to the teaching group. They all graduated from high school, and for a unit like ours with a low level of culture, it was a bit of a stretch to let them go to the battlefield. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, drafted a telegram and handed it to Xiaohuzi and said, "You go to the confidential staff officer and send this telegram to the military region overnight." Let the training office touch the cultural foundation of these 20,000 puppet Manchurian soldiers and pick out the graduates of the national high school. Prepared separately. ”

"Let the Ministry of Social Affairs assign competent personnel to conduct a strict review of this group of people, and then hand them over to the teaching team. As for now? Let him bring in two competent men. But there is one thing, let him grasp it for me. It is necessary to ensure strict censorship and not allow Japanese puppet spies to infiltrate our troops. But it is absolutely not permissible to wronged anyone. ”

After Xiaohuzi took the telegram, when he turned around and was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a strange smile: "No. 1, the guard platoon commander is back, and those two people have also been arrested." Merely? Let's check it out. They are now eating at the base guard company. ”

Looking at Xiaohuzi's smile was a little strange, Yang Zhen was also a little curious. This year, Xiaohuzi has matured a lot, and it is somewhat unusual for him to show such a strange smile. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen grabbed his coat and put it on, and said, "Let's go, go and see what's weird." ”

It's just that after the guard platoon commander who came back from arresting people but was scratched with a flowery face, Yang Zhen took a lot of effort to barely suppress his smile. Yang Zhen, as the No. 1 leader, was still stable and suppressed his smile. Du Kaishan, who rushed over after hearing the news, did not give face at all, and laughed on the spot.

It wasn't until Yang Zhen glared at him that Du Kaishan, who barely suppressed his smile, pointed to the two people who were arrested: "Did I say, all these Northeast men are long and have big shoulders and round waists." Why are these two bodies so weak? It turned out to be two. But these two girls are not simple, just with this pistol technique, they definitely want to get. Better than many of our veterans. ”

Yang Zhen ignored him, walked up to the two women who were gobbling up and asked in a soft voice, "Who are you?" How did two women fall into this deep mountain and old forest? Where did your weapons come from? Who did you learn marksmanship from? ”

Both women were very young, and although they were dirty, they could not even be seen, and their hair was not short or half long, and their hair, which had been shaved with a bayonet, was also thin and dry due to chronic malnutrition. But Yang Zhen can roughly tell that they are not very old.

Maybe it was Yang Zhen's kind tone that didn't make them relax their vigilance, maybe it was because they had a full stomach and some energy. The middle one raised his head and looked at Yang Zhen and said with some defense: "What kind of troops are you?" You are wearing Japanese-style military uniforms, but the military caps are not the appearance of the puppet Manchu army, and you do not have military ranks. And this badge still says Anti-Union, but I know that the Anti-United Nations does not have a military uniform like you? ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "You are the female soldiers of the Anti-United Nations who were scattered, right?" Which part of it are you? We are the former Second Route Army, now called the Jidong Military Region. As for the military uniform? The conditions are difficult, and the captured military uniforms of the Japanese army must not be thrown away. We changed a military hat and used it. ”

"Second Route Army? No way? Are you in that army? Fourth, fifth, or seventh? I see that they all salute you, you should be a great officer, but I can be sure that I have never seen you in the Second Route Army. There is also the Second Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which was before the Western Expedition, and there were not as many people as you are now. ”

Hearing her words, Yang Zhen didn't answer them. Just turned around and told Xiaohuzi to find a few people, then turned around and looked at the two women and smiled slightly: "These two people are still too tender, and I didn't have much effort to squeeze out their old foundation." It seems that it is indeed the troops that have been broken up by the Anti-Japanese Federation, but I don't know which part they are? ”

Yang Zhen didn't answer, but Du Kaishan next to him explained for him: "I tell you that he is the commander of the Jidong Military Region adapted from the original Second Route Army. Commander Yang was transferred from Guannai, so naturally you don't know him. Now there is no longer the structure of the Second Route Army, and all the units under the original Second Route Army have been reorganized into the Jidong Military Region of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army. ”

After the two women glanced at each other, neither of them answered Du Kaishan's words. The two of them didn't speak, and Yang Zhen sat down and didn't speak. A few people sat quietly in this wooden stunned place. It wasn't until the two people who were found by Xiaohuzi walked in that there was a change.

Seeing the two people who came in, the two women were stunned for a moment. When the person who was found by Yang Zhen saw these two women, he was stunned after looking at them carefully for a long time, and said in surprise for a long time: "You are still alive?" Didn't a dozen of you join the women's regiment and march west with the team, and the whole army was wiped out on the edge of the Uskhon River? Oh my God, how did you survive? How did you get here after all this distance? ”

The person who spoke was Wang Qingyun, the commander of the guard company who stayed in Xiajiang before the Fourth Army's Western Expedition, and his current position was the deputy political commissar of the Second Independent Regiment who had been severely criticized by Yang Zhen because of the confrontation between the soldiers. He is the only two people from the former Fourth Army in the Fourth Division.

Since the main force of the Fourth Army was almost completely wiped out during the Western Expedition, very few people survived. In addition to the more than 30 people who stayed in Xiajiang, only more than a dozen people were rescued by Yang Zhen, and only a few senior commanders remained. In addition, after going north, a lot of sacrifices were sacrificed in successive battles, so that the proportion of cadres from the Fourth Army in the troops was far less than that of the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army. The new and old units of the entire Fourth Division were added together, and only he and Peng Shilu, director of the Political Affairs Department, were from the original Fourth Army.

The cadres sent by Du Kaishan to the outer guard positions were all cadres from the Fifth Army, and these two people could be concluded from their conversation with Wang Qingyun that they should be from the original Fourth Army. Although the two armies had often fought together before, they were constrained by the limitations of fighting separately most of the time, and the cadres at the top were familiar with each other, but the soldiers below were not necessarily familiar with each other. Naturally, they don't know this.

After a brief surprise of the two women, their attitudes changed significantly. Raising his head and looking at Wang Qingyun, he said in an extremely defensive tone: "Why are you dressed like this, won't you also be a traitor?" Who are they, are they military police who are puppeteers? ”

Hearing the words of these two women, Wang Qingsheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where do you want to go." We are old comrades-in-arms, do you think I, Wang Qingsheng, am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Now the Second Route Army has been abolished and reorganized into the Jidong Military Region. Here are the newly formed two separate regiments of the four divisions. I am the deputy political commissar of the Second Regiment, and Director Peng Shilu of our left-behind office is now also the deputy political commissar and director of the Political Affairs Department of the Fourth Division. You don't believe my words, but you should believe Director Peng's words. ”

"This is the commander-in-chief of our Jidong Military Region, and it turns out that the Eighteenth Group Army came over. Our army commander Li Yanping is still alive and is now the political commissar of the military region, and Deputy Army Commander Wang is now serving as the commander of the column in the military region. He led us to win a lot of battles, and some time ago he even ate several divisions of devils. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qingyun pointed at the two female soldiers and said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, they are from the original Fourth Army. Before the westward expedition, the female soldiers of the Fifth Army formed a women's regiment of more than 30 people and accompanied the army to the west. The women's regiment was wiped out in the Western Expedition, and we thought that the two of them were also sacrificed, but we did not expect them to be alive. ”

"Walking here from Wuchang and Weihe, how strict the enemy situation is along the way, how much suffering these two girls have to endure. You see, they're all out of shape now. If I don't look closely, I won't be able to see it. I really don't know how they got over the past year. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen nodded and asked, "How did you come here?" How much suffering did you suffer? Let's talk about it, when you get here, you're going home. When you recover, I will take you to the headquarters of the military region to meet your commander. By the way, your old army commander, Comrade Li Yanlu, has also returned, and is now in Luobei. You can all meet you when you have the chance. ”

Yang Zhen didn't believe that these two hairs were shaved like dogs, because they didn't know how long they had been hungry, they were already skinny and bones, and their hands were dry like chicken paws because of malnutrition, and the woman was a traitor. If you are a traitor, you can't pretend to be so like, and you can't suffer this. Maybe they don't believe in themselves, and they don't believe that Wang Qingyun is normal. If they move out of their old army commanders, they should be impressed.

Sure enough, when the two women heard the news that Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu were still alive, they cried on the spot. The two women, who had calmed down for a long time, said: "After the division of troops, the women's regiment that followed the activities of the Fifth Army was dispersed, and Instructor Leng rushed out with the main force and the First Division of the Fifth Army."

"We fell behind and walked around the mountains for a few days before finding the Second Division of the Fifth Army. followed them to Ning'an, on the one hand, looking for an opportunity to break through to the north, and on the other hand, they wanted to find the second army and five divisions in that area. Later, in an encounter with the enemy, the troops we followed were scattered. The two of us hid in the mountains and did not dare to show our faces, while avoiding the search and arrest of the Japanese puppet army, we were looking for troops everywhere in the mountains. ”

"After several searches, I couldn't find it. We want to return to the Baoqing headquarters and find the headquarters of the Second Route Army. Along the way, we didn't dare to walk along the mountains during the day, and found a place to rest in a hidden place. At night, I got up and walked towards Baoqing. If you run into people along the way, stay away, and if the number of people is small, we will buy some food. Sometimes, they have to use their weapons to grab some food. ”

"Last winter, we found a secret camp in the mountains of Muling that had been destroyed by the Japanese army, and found a piece of grain and a few cotton clothes that had not been burned by the Japanese army. Relying on that little bit of food, he hid in Muling for a winter. After the beginning of spring, it went all the way north to look for it. When you are hungry, you can dig some wild vegetables, and occasionally buy some food from those who go into the mountains to collect firewood, and you have to hide when there are too many people. Sometimes when you can't get something to eat, you have to go hungry for days. ”

"I managed to find this place, but I still didn't find it. We waited in this area, relying on wild vegetables, wild fruits, and the occasional little food to sustain us today. If it weren't for the fact that you often deliberately threw some food, we would have starved to death after almost five days of starvation. ”

"When you came, I felt something was wrong. The military uniforms on your bodies are neither those of the little devils nor of the puppet Manchurians. I've never seen this kind of military uniform, and I feel a little strange. I've always wanted to find out your bottom line, this is the headquarters of the Second Route Army. They're gone now, but they'll be back sooner or later. You'll know what happened next. ”

Listening to the words of the two women, Yang Zhen sighed. These two women are stronger than many men. In such a sinister environment at the beginning, how many people couldn't hold on and buried their guns, and quietly left the army. How many people couldn't hold on and surrendered their guns to the Japanese and became traitors.

Who would have thought that these two delicate female soldiers just persevered all the way, and they endured so much hardship to insist on finding their own troops. For a whole winter, in the mountains where it was minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius in North Manchuria, and the weather was freezing and there were herds of wild beasts, how did these two women survive and how much suffering they suffered.

Yang Zhen turned his head to Wang Qingyun and said, "You go and arrange it, find a separate house, and I'll let my guard platoon be in charge outside." Get them some water and wash them well. I'm looking for new military uniforms for them, although they don't necessarily fit, but fortunately, they are clean and warm. ”

"I'll send a telegram to Director Peng of your district in a moment, and ask him to come tomorrow. The first is to explain to them our current situation. In addition, they will also be taken to the divisional headquarters for placement, you are a group of big men here, it is inconvenient for two female soldiers. ”

Let everyone in this wooden stunned person, including Yang Zhen, who now has only pity in his heart, not expect that one of the two female soldiers who were separated and recalled all the way to the army with tenacious perseverance would become her wife three years later.
