1940 yearThe winter was very cold, and under the silhouette of the staggered mountains and the pale sky of the Yimeng Mountains, a squad of the Eighth Route Army came to Fei County to seek supplies, which wasof115th Division of the Eighth Route Army
This team of the Eighth Route Army was assigned to a village namedFang Lan TingAmong the women, her husband was killed by the Japanese army, and in order to avenge her husband, her family has always beenAnti-Japanese support modeland never went wrong.
But on this day, the Eighth Route Army really didn't come at the right time, and there was nothing left in the kitchen of Fang Lanting's house.
This year, the weather is dry and dryThe cultivated land in the Yimeng Mountains is still out of harvest this year, coupled with the rampant bandits in the mountains and wilderness here, every household has no surplus food. No, rather than having no surplus food, it is better to say that even the wild vegetables on the mountains have been shaved down, and the mountains are full of dry branches, and there is not even a green leaf on them that symbolizes life, and it is a dilapidated scene.
Fang Lanting's kitchen is not big, and her family's food is not so much that she has to store and classifyWhat can be taken out is some grass roots collected in the bag, which can only be used to cook and eat for the Eighth Route Army.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army didn't want to put too much pressure on their fellow countrymen, but the troops had been walking for a few days in a row and were hungry for a few days, if they didn't really can't stand it, they won't be like this. In this case, evenBoiled grass roots, they also eat with relish.
Fang Lanting was really distressed and a little ashamed to see this group of young men gnawing on grass roots. The Eighth Route Army is going to fight the devils after eating, and without them, who will avenge the people's revenge?
At this moment, Fang Lanting's five-year-old daughter Xiaolan pulled her sleeve while watching the Eighth Route Army eating:
"Mom, I'm hungry too. ”Fang Lanting watched her daughter ponder for a long time before squatting down and saying to her
"Is it okay for Mom to take you out looking for food? ”"Good".Xiaolan replied, and then Fang Lanting took her hand and took her out of the house.
After a while, Fang Lanting came back, still carrying a bag on his backAbout 20 pounds of millet, prepared a hearty meal of millet porridge for the Eighth Route Army to eat.
The Eighth Route Army has not seen millet for a long time, and when he saw that there was porridge to eat, he began to pick it up with a bowl. But just halfway through eating, one of the soldiers noticed that Fang Lanting's house was strangely silent, and then asked everyone to put down the bowl first, and he went to the kitchen to ask Fang Lanting, who was sorting out the millet:
"I remember that there was a five-year-old child at home. It's getting dark, why haven't you come back yet, but don't let the wolf go. ”Faced with the problem of the Eighth Route Army, as a mother, she should have gone out to look for her daughter immediately, but after hearing this, Fang Lanting began to stand up and did not dare to answer.
Fang Lanting used to be poor, and he followed his grandfather as a beekeeper everywhere since he was a child, and he had no fixed residence. Marrying into Shandong is already a matter of her twentieth year.
Later, in 1925, due to the warlord scuffle, this part of Shandong became even poorer. Originally, there was an atmosphere of "breaking into the eastern part of Shandong", and after being urged like this, a large number of people in Shandong began to flow outside the Guan. In this army of "breaking through the eastern part of the country", there is Fang Lanting's husbandZhou Zhencang
Those who noticed the year must be able to guess that the time point when Zhou Zhencang broke into the eastern part of the country was indeed a little late, and it just happened to hit the Japanese army to invade China. After seeing many human tragedies, Zhou Zhencang was so frightened that he fled from Kanto again, and on the way he became acquainted with the Chinese Communist Party and became oneUnderground traffic officer, his own home, was the underground party at that timeTransportation stops。Because the husband and wife were kind and charitable, they later became friends with a beggar, and later this beggar named Shi Bangjie became a bandit and was influenced by Fang Lanting to join the anti-Japanese team.
Later, as the appetite of the Japanese army grew, Shandong also became a occupied areaZhou Zhencang also took his wife Fang Lanting to join the Communist Party and fight against Japan together, Fang Lanting was also one of the leaders of the Party Organization Promotion Association at that time.
1939 year, In the process of transmitting information, Zhou Zhencang was discovered by the devil, unfortunately**. Under the torture of devils,Zhou Zhencang did not reveal a trace of information, and was brutally killed by the Japanese army。Fang Lanting was grief-stricken, but for the sake of the anti-Japanese plan, she still took over her husband's work alone, and then continued to support the army while reporting to work.
By 1940, there was a widespread famine in the Yimeng Mountains, and the enemy continued to go out to grab food, which made it very difficult to live in the base area. Even the Eighth Route Army, which was going to fight, was all hungry and thin, and eating was to gnaw on the roots of trees and grass. This made Fang Lanting anxious in his eyes, so he had the opening scene.
Fang Lanting came up with an idea and sold his 5-year-old daughter Xiaolan to a local big family, in exchange for twenty catties of millet for the Eighth Route Army to eat. But the Eighth Route Army saw that the child had not come back for a long time, so he asked in the end, and when he heard that this was the case, several Eighth Route Army soldiers who borrowed Fang Lanting's house scraped together the military salary they had saved, and personally went to the door of the big family to redeem Xiaolan again.
Fang Lanting saw that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army went out without finishing their meals, and then came back with Xiaolan on his shoulder, both surprised and unbearable, he didn't know how to face his daughter's innocent gaze, Xiaolan probably didn't know what he had experienced.
And the group of Eighth Route Army had already been moved to tears by Fang Lanting's behavior, and in the years of famine, there were often cases of selling children and daughters for food. But if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would never give this food to others. As soon as she entered the door and lowered Xiaolan to the ground, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army knelt down directly in front of Fang Lanting, and shouted "Mother" to her in unison.
Being able to treat them so selflessly, in the eyes of these Eighth Route Army, Fang Lanting could already be regarded as a mother-like existence, and they swore on the spot that in order to repay the favor of this meal, even if Fang Lanting did not admit it,They also had to treat Fang Lanting like their own mother.
In that most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War base area in Shandong, although he did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, many were born in the Yimeng Mountains"Heroes of the Front".
In order to encircle and suppress the 115th Division, the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep in the Yimeng Mountains, although it failed to completely annihilate all the 115th Division, but instead began to open a huge blockade network in the Yimeng Mountains.
The actions of the Japanese army made the people in the Yimeng Mountains miserable, and the Eighth Route Army was worried that the people would not be able to bear it, and they also considered leaving the Yimeng Mountains and moving to other places for new battles. But the Japanese army had fought so hard here before, if the Eighth Route Army withdrew, would the Japanese army really not seek revenge from the local militia and civilians? It's hard, I'm afraid.
In fact, during the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army had already established a complete set of looting networks in Fei County, and those devils not only wanted to force out the Eighth Route Army, but also took the opportunity to loot all the grain in the Yimeng Mountains for their own use.
In recent years, the Japanese have also had a hard time. For the fascist countries, it is their intention to quickly defeat their opponents and grab a lot of resources. This kind of war was very common before World War I, and the first pot of gold in Japan's modernization came from the First Sino-Japanese Naval War. But in World War II, examples of such decisive surrenders can only be seen in a few countries, such as France. In the face of the threat of invasion, more countries are more inclined to mobilize their entire forces to fight it.
Pre-war,Japan's goal was to force the Nationals** to admit defeat and surrender, thereby legitimately plundering China's resources. After Wang Jingwei's surrender, Japan's victory criterion was actually half completed. Therefore, the Japanese offensive forces were often more inclined to attack the main forces of the Kuomintang.
But the more the war dragged on, the more the Japanese discovered that no matter how many Kuomintang troops were lost, the Chinese would not surrender, and in the Japanese-occupied areas, due to various sabotages by the Eighth Route Army, there were very few supplies transported to Japan from the occupied North China Plain. Even in order to maintain the occupation status, Japan still needs to spend a lot of money to purchase grain from the international market for the occupation zone.
And the devils in the later stages of the war were often poor people captured from all over Japan, and they may not even have eaten chicken in their entire lives. The reason why many anti-Japanese movies often show that devils like to steal hometown chickens is also this.
So, for the Japs who have already begun to tighten their belts,The large-scale encirclement and suppression of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army was really a loss-making deal. The superiors basically did not give them provisions, and they often had to rely on burning, killing and looting to eat and drink.
Therefore, when besieging the 115th Division, the Japanese army also "swept away" the villages along the road. and all the materials were concentrated at the transfer stationFee CountyVillage.
After the Eighth Route Army's targeted attack on Fei County, the Japanese army's plundering was suspended, and the 115th Division was able to use guerrilla warfare to break through it one by one, and finally drove the Japanese army out of the base area. However, the base area itself was also heavily damaged by the Japanese army's sweep, which also made the life of the anti-Japanese people behind enemy lines more difficult.
Stay up untilDuring the War of LiberationThe tragic fate of the old area of Shandong is still not over. Due to the Kuomintang's key offensive, the old Yimeng area of Shandong suffered again. Su YuI once asked ** for instructions, and the ratio of military and civilians in the old base areas has been extremely unbalanced, due to the Kuomintang's pressing step by stepHuaye's side must always have a large number of non-production personnel to fight with arms, but this obviously cannot last long.
It is precisely because of this that ** desperately wants to let itFour fields out of the customs。That's why Nakano is hereDabie MountainTens of thousands of horses were buried.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is not a person who does not repay his kindness, and the people in the old areas of Shandong have always returned to Ganquan.
In the Battle of Menglianggu, in order to ensure the supply of Huaye soldiers, Yanzhuang Village, Yedian Town, Mengyin County, near the war zone, appeared"Yimeng Six Sisters".heroic deeds. Although they did not go directly to the battlefield, they led the whole village to do it for the Huaye warriors during the battleMore than 500 pairs of military shoes
At that time, the whole county of Mengyin County contributed money and efforts to the war, and in order to drive Chiang Kai-shek's troops away, all the young men in their twenties and thirties in the village joined the army. Even if you can't join the army, you all become former people's husbands. In the village where the "Yimeng Six Sisters" were located, all the rest were women, old and young, and under such circumstances, they did not forget to do their last to contribute to the army. Visible,The relationship between the military and the people is like a family.
It is said that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, especially in the most difficult and difficult times, so that the people's aspirations can be revealed. No matter how much some unscrupulous authors try to smear them, if they do not advance and retreat with the people, no one can survive to the end in the situation of that year, and facts speak louder than words. It is said that history is the book of winners, but if it is an unrighteous army, how can it win for a long time?
Only the people's army, which does everything for the people, can win in the end.
