During the Spring Festival this year, Wencheng lost the lively atmosphere of previous festivals, and the people were filled with a sense of suffering. They didn’t know when the Japanese would come over, and the residents of the city who had relatives in the countryside began to transfer property to the countryside. ,in case for need.
Zhang Fuhai sighed during the New Year’s Eve dinner and said: “This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, our family can still be reunited together. I don’t know what it will be like next year? Will we have a reunion dinner here?"
Zhang Fengshan said: "The Japanese will definitely want to go west to capture Wuhan in order to meet with the Japanese troops on Pinghan Road north. Wencheng is a must pass. We still have to make early plans."
Zhang Fuyang said: "Fengshan makes sense. I have transferred a platoon of the security team to Longwan and requisitioned the Long Family Ancestral Hall. Once the war begins, we will all move in."
Zhang Fuhai said: "At that time, I will stay, and the hard work of several generations can't be said to be lost. I believe that the Japanese cannot kill all of us Chinese. Otherwise, what do they eat and drink?"
Fang Xianggui was anxious and said, "Old man, do you want money or death? You can make money only if you are with people. What's the use of not having life and money? You should go with us."
Zhang Fengshan also persuaded: "Father, the Japanese can't move out of this house. As long as they leave, we will still own us when we come back. Let's just leave and take care of the business."
Zhang Fuhai quickly objected: "You are the first person in our family to leave, followed by Feng Jiao, Feng Zhi, and Feng Jie." Feng Zhi and Feng Jie are the two sons of Zhang Fuyang, one is ten years old. One is eight years old.
The old lady's ears were a little back. After knowing that everyone was discussing moving to the mountains, she said: "I'm still alive at this age. I won't go anywhere, so I'll wait for death at home, guarding the spiritual position of your grandfather and grandfather. ."
When everyone was arguing, there was a banging gong outside the door. Everyone knows that it was a door song and beggar. During this time, dozens of waves passed by every day, mostly refugees who had fled from the occupied areas.
Zhang Fuhai said to Zhang Fengshan: "Let them stop singing, take a few copper plates and send them away."
Zhang Fengshan grabbed a handful of copper plates and came to the door, only to hear that the other party had already sang: the gongs and drums rang the bell, oh, I never said that I was in tears, just because the devils burned and robbed them, I dragged my children out of the house. , Oops. Selling and singing along the street for subsistence, singing door songs with an empty stomach. The big family are so blessed, the lucky stars shine brightly at Xiyingmen, oops.
Zhang Fengshan saw a family of four with hungry faces and looked at him eagerly. He added a piece of ocean from his pocket and stuffed it into the man's hand. The man who sold the singer even claimed to thank him, but still stood still and said, "Master, you are such a wonderful person. My family hasn't eaten for a day. I'm so hungry that I can't walk anymore. Enjoy your food."
Zhang Fengshan brought a few bowls of rice to them, and the family gobbled it up. Zhang Fengshan asked where are they from? The man said that he was in the suburbs of Nanjing, and said that there were dead people everywhere, ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and tears fell after speaking.
Zhang Fengshan asked where they were going? The man said that wherever there were no Japanese, he would go inside, and just walked westward like this. He also asked Zhang Fengshan and the others to prepare as well, and the Japanese would soon come over.
After the Spring Festival, Anton Province established the General Mobilization Committee of the People, whose tasks are national mobilization, political mobilization, economic mobilization, and military mobilization. Chairman Liao also serves as the chairman. The National Action Committee’s anti-Japanese and national salvation work is mainly based on working groups as its basic force, go deep into counties to carry out work, hold mass meetings, and publicize the principles of anti-Japanese and national salvation. As Guangxi troops gathered in the Dabie Mountains, some refugees from large and medium cities in the occupied areas flocked to Anton, including some young exiles. The Peking Salvation Service Group, the Shanghai Exiled Youth Inland Service Group, the Wujin Youth Anti-Enemy Service Group, and Yan’an sent students from Northern Shaanxi Public School and Anti-Virus University graduates to Andong to carry out salvation work, and some were assigned to counties and other five war zones. The region is engaged in the work of mobilizing people to resist Japan. The Provincial Sports Committee has successively established 43 directly affiliated working groups and 30 commissioned working groups, as well as a juvenile propaganda group, women's work service group, etc., attracting and accommodating more than 2,400 cadres.
Wencheng County also set up the General Mobilization Committee of the People, with Shi Yong concurrently serving as the chairman, and set up 3 anti-Japanese propaganda teams, which went deep into districts and townships to carry out propaganda and mobilization. Zhang Fengshan and Xu Yuqing participated in the team, and Zhang Fengshan was the captain. They used speeches, handouts of leaflets, and organization of performances for publicity and mobilization.
One day in March, the Provincial Movement Committee sent a women's working group to Wencheng to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda. Xu Youlan was the head of the working group. The working group chose to hold a mass meeting at Wencheng Wharf to perform condolences.
When Shi Yong came to the scene in person, Zhang Fengshan noticed that he and Xu Youlan did not recognize each other as husband and wife, but maintained a courteous work relationship. Zhang Fengshan couldn't help but admire from his heart. For the revolution, they sacrificed many personal things, which also highlights the greatness of our comrades.
The content of the performance includes songs "Graduation Song", "On the Songhua River", "Volunteer March", "Mei Niang", "Song of Consolation", "Village Girl Outside the Great Wall", "Song of Self-Defense", "Singing Girl under the Iron Hoof", "Broad Sword March" and so on, there is also a new compilation of Huangmei Opera "Women's Song". Wencheng is a hometown of Huangmei Opera. As long as the small gong strikes and the erhu string rang, the crowd will be crowded.
I saw a woman dressed up in the countryside came to the stage and sang—
Before he spoke, tears flowed first, and his stomach was full of grievances and nowhere to go. Cry, my compatriots sisters, my compatriots, my sister, why are men and women not equal
I tangled my feet when I was three years old, and the pain was unbearable. I need to chop wood and dig the roots of the grass, my compatriots, my sister, it's not like a person in the wind and the sun.
Growing up like an arrow, a small sedan lifted past the door. Husband regards me as an improper person, my compatriots, my sister, wicked male and wicked woman Saiyan Jun.
Get up first without waiting for the rooster, and leave the door lightly. Wash the floor and dust, my compatriots, my sister, a slave who carries water and cooks.
The family had no rice to eat, so Zhang's family went to Lijiacun. I can’t borrow rice after borrowing for a long time, my compatriots, my sister, rich people are too cruel.
The adults were hungry, and the children called their mothers. After crying before the pot, hum after the pot, my compatriots, my sister, crying makes my adults uneasy.
Suddenly I heard the gunshots outside the door, saying that it was a devils coming again. The three souls are scared away, the two souls are scared away, my compatriots, my sister, how can I flee with my children and the girls.
When I ran to the wilderness, I was sweaty. Looking back at my house, my compatriots, my sister, where the devil set fire to my house.
Everyone must come to defend the country and get rid of the devils to enjoy peace. We should also be the anti-Japanese army, my compatriots, my sister, don't kill devils in vain.
The cheers continued.
Xu Youlan took the stage to give a speech: "Female compatriots: During the Shanghai War of Resistance last year, Ms. He Xiangning wrote poems to inspire warriors: the former sacrificed the latter's teacher, and the children of the family gave cold clothes; the feeling of the king was brave on the battlefield, leaving the fame forever. There will be a certain period of time for regaining the mountains and rivers by conquering the clothes. If you are united, how to fear the enemy and work together. Although my female compatriots cannot charge and kill the enemy on the battlefield, we can also do our best to help our husbands and brothers. , I shall eat for the hungry, I shall clothe the cold, heal the wounded, and raise and educate the orphans. The martyred heroes will become greater because of you, the soldiers on the front line, We will be more brave because of you, the country’s compatriots will be more united because of you, and international people will be able to advocate justice because of you. Without a country, there is no home for us, so we must be united. Everyone should be like one. Fotan, the power of a single coal is not strong enough. If one after another is accumulated, the firepower will be very powerful, which can burn the invaders to death and inspire our soldiers. Female compatriots, as long as we wake up, we will twist into one. Rope, we will definitely win, and China will not die." Then she took the lead and shouted the slogan: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Drive the Japanese devils out of China!" "Refuse to buy Japanese goods!"
The tsunami from the mountains below responded, and the scene was very spectacular. Zhang Fengshan thought that this was the voice of the Chinese people resenting the enemy, and it was a roar to the invaders.
When Xu Youlan first came to power, Xu Yuqing exclaimed: "Isn't this my sister?"
Zhang Fengshan was both surprised and happy, and said, "You never said that there is a sister."
Xu Yuqing said: "That's because you didn't ask me. After the Japanese plane bombed, my uncle and aunt rushed to Shanghai. Our house was in ruins. The body of my parents was found, but my sister was not there. , We all thought she was dead, but she was still alive.” As he said, tears of excitement swirled in his eyes, and finally fell down.
The sisters recognized each other, and everyone present was very moved.
Xu Youlan glanced at Zhang Fengshan and deliberately asked her younger sister: "Is this Captain Zhang your boyfriend?"
Xu Yuqing said mischievously: "If he wants to be my boyfriend, it depends on his performance."
Zhou Jin was also among the crowd not far away. He saw all this in his eyes, and heard Xu Yuqing personally say that she was not Zhang Fengshan’s girlfriend, and felt that she still had a chance. The key is to remove Zhang Fengshan’s stumbling block. , But how to remove it? He wanted to muddy the water, only in this way can he have a chance of winning.
Xu Youlan patted Zhang Fengshan on the shoulder, and said in a pun: "Captain Zhang, come on, elder sister is optimistic about you."
Xu Yuqing said shyly, "Sister, you should take care of your own affairs. When will you find me a brother-in-law?"
Xu Youlan said: "Sister is so busy, how can you have time? When you get rid of the Japanese devils, sister will solve personal problems."
Zhang Fengshan is also very confused at the moment. For good luck, the two sisters belong to different camps. It is now in the period of the united front. They can live in peace. Once they break, they will inevitably draw their guns and die. What made him a little gratified was that it was not a good thing that Xu Youlan came to see the sisters this time, and he added a trace of confidence in Xu Yuqing's transformation work in the future.
Xu Youlan learned that her uncle Liu Chenglong's family was in Wencheng, so she brought gifts and went to visit with Zhang Fengshan and Xu Yuqing.
Liu Chenglong was not happy with this niece who came down from the sky. Instead, he was indifferent and vilified: "I have fought the Communist Party for more than ten years. I didn't expect his niece to be the Communist Party. This is a big joke."
Mrs. Liu persuaded her husband: "Now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating and everyone is fighting against Japan, don't hurt your peace. We should be happy if Youlan can live to recognize her relatives."
Liu Chenglong said angrily: "Bullshit, I'm mad at you when you mention cooperation. We have guns and cannons and we can't beat the Japanese devils. What does the Communist Party have? With their spears and swords, can they kill the devils?"
Xu Youlan knew that Liu Chenglong's thinking was stubborn, and argued for reasons: "Uncle, our Communist Party has a mass basis. As long as we can mobilize the people across the country to fight the enemy, we will surely be able to drive away the invaders."
Liu Chenglong disagrees, "Joke, ordinary people can fight? Are they allowed to be cannon fodder and gun targets? You can bring things and go, I don't cooperate with the Communist Party, and our family does not welcome you!"
Mrs. Liu was embarrassed and continued to persuade her husband: "It's not easy for the child to come here. You can let her have a meal before leaving."
Liu Chenglong said: "No! If it weren't for the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, I would have to personally arrest her and send her to prison."
Xu Youlan said: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the Kuomintang separates from the masses. Failure is doomed. Uncle, take care!" After that, she went out.
Xu Yuqing was going to chase, but Liu Chenglong was drunk by Liu Chenglong: "Yuqing, you will come back to me. You must never learn from her, our family does not have her, and we have the right to be dead when she is dead.
