The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the third part of the Taihang

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is in Matian Town, Liao County, deep in the Taihang Mountains. It is surrounded by mountains and deep ravines, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unlike history, due to the agreement reached by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the New Fourth Army heading north, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army has been greatly improved, and the competition for the Hebei-central base area has been fierce. In history, the incident of Japanese raiding the Eighth Route Army headquarters has not occurred.

Matian is the core area of ​​Taihang Mountain. In addition to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Northern Bureau, the Taihang Mountain Luyi Branch, the Anti-Japanese University Branch, the Party School, and the Arsenal, they are all here. The Japanese army in North China also knew that a large number of Eighth Route Army institutions were gathered here, but they had no power to fight. To fight here, they had to go through the three lines of defense established by the Eighth Route Army. The only heavy artillery regiment provided by the Kuomintang was also stationed nearby. This heavy artillery regiment was basically a decoration because the Kuomintang only provided ammunition once, and the Eighth Route Army itself could not build it. Each gun had only two base ammunition.

The Japanese army did not want to enter the suppression. The First Army of the North China Expeditionary Army stationed in Shanxi organized several encirclements and suppression. Every time they attacked nearby, they were resolutely attacked by the Eighth Route Army, with tens of thousands of soldiers and generals missing. In the end, they had to give up. Okamura Yasuji changed his strategy and decided to first use the Jin-Cha-Hebei base area in central and southern Hebei to cut off the supply of the Eighth Route Army on the Taihang Mountains, and then look for an opportunity to eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the Taihang Mountains in one fell swoop.

There were so many rear organs of the Eighth Route Army gathered here, and there were military uniforms everywhere inside and outside the town. Mei Youlan quickly noticed that in addition to the Eighth Route Army's yellow military uniforms, there were also the gray military uniforms of the New Fourth Army. But it was right to think about it. The New Fourth Army is also a GCD armed force, and the National Government cannot control it, and it cannot control it.

In addition to men, Mei Youlan also unexpectedly discovered that there were many female soldiers here, who were also wearing military uniforms and leggings, but they rarely had weapons. The residents of the town were not surprised by Mei Youlan's outfit. There were many people outside here, many of them were foreigners, and their clothes were even more strange.

A loud shout came from the side. Mei Youlan turned her head and saw that there were many people around her, as if it was a basketball court. Ji Dengke explained that it was a basketball court and might be playing games.

"There is still a game here." Mei Youlan was a little surprised and curious, and turned around and walked towards the other side.

Ji Dengke did not stop him. After the three forks of the road, he began to experience Mei Youlan's rudeness. She was interested in everything. In order to see the Taihang Canal, she climbed up the mountain; she ran to the cliff to see the telephone line that was installed in the sky, went to the village to attend the wedding, and drank the homemade local wine from Taihang Mountain with his owner. On the way, she met several women's rescue members who gave military shoes and uniforms, and she also ran to chat with them. The camera was cracking everywhere, and no one could persuade him.

When she arrived outside the court, Mei Youlan was hiking into the crowd without any hesitation. When the soldiers next to her looked at her outfit, they immediately dodged, allowing her to get inside smoothly. Standing on the side of the court, looking around, there were a row of tables on the front of the court, which were the kind of tables used for school classes, without any decorations, and there were several soldiers who were obviously senior officers sitting behind them. The person in the middle attracted Mei Youlan's attention. Why? This man's outfit was obviously different from others. He was wearing neither the yellowish uniform of the Eighth Route Army nor the gray uniform of the New Fourth Army, but a black jacket with double long horse boots under his feet.

"Who is this person?" Mei Youlan asked in a low voice, no one answered. She turned her head to look around her, with a pair of puzzled eyes. She immediately understood that this was the place of the Eighth Route Army. It would be strange if a stranger like her appeared without arousing suspicion.

Thinking about this, she didn't care. She touched the warrior next to her and asked, "Who is the one wearing the jacket?"

The Eighth Route Army soldiers did not answer, but their eyes changed from doubt to vigilance. At this time, there was a burst of applause from around them. Mei Youlan turned her head and shot a goal in a gray military uniform. The players were celebrating with high fives. The yellow military uniform quickly launched a counterattack and transported it to the front in a few seconds. After the last pass, they quickly cut into the basket and successfully made a layup with hooks. This time, there was a louder cheer.

Mei Youlan excitedly grabbed the camera and started taking pictures. She had no habit of guests at all and kept disturbing the soldiers next to her. However, her actions made the soldiers understand that this might be another reporter entering the base area.

The Taihang Mountains are definitely not a closed area. There are not many journalists here, but there are not none. Among them, many foreigners, such as Smedley, Hans, Strong, etc., have visited the Taihang Mountains. In addition, the Ta Kung Pao and the Frontline have also sent people to the city, so these Eighth Route Army have seen the "world" and are not unfamiliar with reporters.

Of course, Mei Youlan's actions were not hidden from the senior generals behind the rostrum, but they didn't care, but the guards next to her were wary of her. After all, there were senior cadres of the Party and the army participating in today's event.

Ji Dengke finally found Mei Youlan in the crowd. A very polite soldier was stopping Mei Youlan. The communication between the two seemed to be very smooth.

"Reporter Mei, Section Chief Lu, you know each other." Ji Dengke's face showed an unexpected expression.

"I just met him and he was worried that I would assassinate him." Mei Youlan was not polite at all.

Section Chief Lu's expression stopped. He didn't expect that his intention would be completely noticed. This was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Section Chief Lu said in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Reporter Mei was joking. If you were an assassin, you would never be able to go to Matian."

Ji Dengke laughed in his heart, Section Chief Lu obviously didn't tell the truth. You, a person who is in charge of the defense and anti-specialty in the Matian area, is it a coincidence that you appear here.

"Let me introduce you to you. This is a reporter from Mei Youlan from Chongqing. This is the Chief Lu of Section of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters." Ji Dengke did not introduce the specific department of Section Chief Lu, so he took it over simply and vaguely.

Section Chief Lu looked like he suddenly realized and quickly stretched out his hands: "I heard that you are coming a long time ago. I thought you were two days away, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

"You are too polite." Mei Youlan was originally a human being. She didn't know what Section Chief Lu meant, but she didn't want to expose anything. As a reporter, she got the interview results first, instead of exposing the other party's small actions, making him unable to come to Taiwan, and not a dispute over his will.

"Do you often play basketball here?" Mei Youlan's topic quickly changed. Looking at the lively atmosphere on the court, at this moment, she found that the suspicious eyes around her disappeared, and replaced by kind-hearted curiosity.

"There are few formal competitions like this, and the comrades are very serious in their work and study." After all, Section Chief Lu is from the headquarters. Unlike Ji Dengke, who came from below, he didn't understand many situations.

"I'm lucky in the official competition," Mei Youlan did not hide her excitement: "That's the same?"

Section Chief Lu saw Ji Dengke's helpless expression on his face and roughly understood Mei Youlan's personality. He has been engaged in security for a long time and has come into contact with various people, so he has grasped Mei Youlan's personality traits so keenly and quickly.

"It's the New Fourth Army teaching team of the Anti-Daily National Taiwan Army." Section Chief Lu's answer was also very simple.

"Who is wearing a jacket..."

"That's Lan said: "Reporter Mei, please watch slowly, I'll go."

After saying that, before Mei Youlan was trying to stay, she turned around and left. Mei Youlan looked at his back in surprise and said to herself: "Why are you running so fast? It seems like I am a monster."

Ji Dengke thought to himself, auntie, you are not harsh enough, you are going to be entangled by you, that is really annoying enough. I'd better hand you over to where you should go as soon as possible.

"Reporter Mei, let's go to the headquarters reception office first and notify them early so they can arrange your residence." Ji Dengke's tone was very gentle, as if he was thinking about Mei Youlan.

Mei Youlan didn't think much. She thought about it with a slightly frown and stared at Lan's habits. She must take a shower every day. Even if she carried two buckets of water and wiped it, she had to clean it. Moreover, she was not used to sleeping in the kang, so she would never choose a kang if she had a bed.

Sure enough, Mei Youlan put away her camera, turned to Ji Dengke and said, "Where is that receptionist?"

Section Chief Lu spared a circle and returned to the rostrum and sat in Lan." Section Chief Lu replied.

Zuo Q nodded slightly. The Central Committee had already forwarded the telegram from Chongqing, introducing Mei Youlan's situation. The Central Committee also called specially and asked them to give Mei Youlan the interview power to be comprehensive. This supplement surprised both Peng D-huai and Zuo Quan, because this had never been before, which shows that the Central Committee attaches great importance to Mei Youlan.

"What's wrong?" Lan, a reporter from Chongqing Yuzhou Evening News." Zuo Quan replied that after the New Fourth Army retreated into Taihang Mountain, the pressure on Taihang Mountain was even greater. Ammunition, medicine, and military sources were very high. In order to restore the New Fourth Army as soon as possible, the Eighth Route Army headquarters met the requirements of the New Fourth Army as much as possible, and even compressed the requirements of the Eighth Route Army units. This aroused the resentment of many Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers. On the one hand, the headquarters did persuasion work, and on the other hand, it also took action to promote the relationship between the two sides. This basketball game was one of them.

"Reporter from Yuzhou Evening News." Lan," Zuo Quan noticed Ye Ting's confusion and explained: "This person's background is amazing. Her grandfather is the leader of the American overseas Chinese, the Mei family and the Song family are family friends, and Soong Mei-ling is her aunt. In addition, she has a big brother, the current commander of the Jiangbei War Zone. My old classmate, Zhuang Jihua, and her brother is Mei Yuntian. She is the general manager of Sichuan Development Bank. She controls half of the financial dynasty in the southwest."

People are a little lazy these two days, and there are fewer updates, sorry
