Chapter 75 5. Commander Yang double happiness

When Yang Chengwu was nervously directing the battle between Yansuya and Huangtuling, his wife gave birth to a daughter for him, and Yang Chengwu didn't know until after the battle. After cleaning the battlefield, Yang Chengwu hurried to Ningjiazhuang to visit his wife and daughter.After all, this is his first time as a father!Deputy Commander Gao Peng and Chief of Staff Huang Shoufa also clamored to watch "The New Generation of Revolution" with him. "Zhizhen!" Yang Chengwu called out, making the strong Zhao Zhizhen unable to control her emotions anymore.She cried, very sadly.

Minister Dong said to Yang Chengwu: "Commander, their mother and daughter really survived a catastrophe!" "Give the child a name!" Zhao Zhizhen said with a smile on her face, with tears on her face. When Gao Peng heard it, he said without hesitation, "This child was born in the land of Yanzhao, by the Yishui River. Let's call him Yi Sheng (later named Yang Yi)!" Yang Chengwu said, "Yi Sheng? That's a good name." Gao Peng smiled and said to Yang Chengwu: "You have double happiness, one is that the army has won a big victory, and the other is that you have won a thousand gold."

November 28, 1938.Beichengzi Village, Laiyuan County.For Yang Chengwu and Zhao Zhizhen, this day will never be forgotten - Commander Nie Rongzhen approved their marriage. The commander was about to get married, and the young landlord couple, Zou Xuan and Hu Jingfeng, discussed it and said to the comrades in the management department: "Let's let them live in the new house." ——They got married not long ago, and the pair of big red letters on the wall were still very bright. Fresh, with the words "Newlyweds" written on it. The comrades in the management department said: "How dare you?"

Hu Jingfeng said: "Happiness is happiness!" ... Yang Chengwu was still busy with his work that day, until four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the cadres in the meeting were about to leave, he said casually: "Don't leave today, all go to drink my wedding wine!" People screamed.At this moment, the head of the regiment Ji Tingxie came to report excitedly: "Report to the commander, we just won a small victory, and I would like to report the good news to the commander!" Luo Yuanfa and Fang Guohua are the officiant.Fang Guohua said with a loud voice: "Today, we hold a wedding for this pair of revolutionary newcomers. This is a battlefield wedding. Chengwu is a tiger, a man of gold and iron horse, Zhizhen is a rooster, and Wenwu Gangxiu is Jinchaji!"

The words of the officiant immediately drew a burst of applause. Marriage is a major event in life, and the traditional procedure of worshiping heaven and earth is also indispensable, but the content has changed—worshiping the leader!The couple bowed three times to the portraits of Mao Zedong and Zhu De.Two thanks to parents!Their parents were away, and they bowed three times in the direction of Yang Chengwu's hometown and Zhao Zhizhen's hometown... No matter how difficult the conditions are, there must be a wedding banquet. Although there are no delicacies from mountains and seas, it is also very rich.The cooking class made 8 dishes, including pork, eggs, tofu, potatoes and so on.People yelled and drank wedding wine and rushed forward.

The wedding was simple but warm. When night fell, the laughter of comrades could be heard in the landlord's new house. After marriage, they did not have any honeymoon, but immediately threw themselves into intense work.Although their residences were less than a mile apart, they still met only once a week according to the regulations at the time.Zhao Zhizhen came to her new house on Saturday and returned to her post on Sunday. Later, for work and to set an example for other cadres, Zhao Zhizhen transferred to the prefectural committee, and they spent even fewer days together. More than a year later, their love crystallized and Zhao Zhizhen became pregnant.When she wanted to tell Yang Chengwu the news, Yang Chengwu was commanding the troops to fight the enemy desperately.The situation on the battlefield behind enemy lines was very grim. The Japanese army organized two "mopping ups" a year in an attempt to completely wipe out the anti-Japanese forces here.

It was already the early winter of 1939, and preparations for the anti-mopping-up were underway. Seeing that Zhizhen was about to give birth, Wang Guoquan, secretary of the prefectural committee, knew that Yang Chengwu had no time to take care of her, so he said to her, "Little Zhao." , you go to Shuiquan now and find Director Dong Yongqing of the Supply Department, the conditions there are a little better." The stubborn Zhao Zhizhen refused and insisted on going with the army.Wang Guoquan said: "What time is it, let's fight!" When Zhao Zhizhen arrived at Shuiquan, Minister Dong called Chen Luhui, a female obstetrician and gynecologist, and said to Zhao Zhizhen, "Dr. Chen ran out from Peking Tongren Hospital to join the anti-Japanese team. From today onwards, you two will be together. Make sure Yang The commander's child was delivered safely."

A few days later, the Japanese army's "mopping up" began. Minister Dong prepared two mules for Zhao Zhizhen and Dr. Chen, and asked them to move with the troops.In the flames of war, Zhao Zhizhen trekked for nearly ten days and arrived at Baisha Village in Wan County. At dusk that day, Zhao Zhizhen suddenly had a stomachache and almost fell off the animal's back.Dr. Chen saw that the amniotic fluid had broken, and hurriedly helped Zhao Zhizhen down, and was going to find a house to boil water to deliver the baby.At this moment, the guard came to report: "The devil is chasing him, move immediately!"

Dr. Chen said: "Xiao Zhao, there is no way, the child cannot be born here, let's go!" Enduring the severe pain, Zhao Zhizhen climbed onto the animal with the support of Dr. Chen, and ran for several miles before stopping. It was really hard for Zhao Zhizhen to persevere at this moment.Dr. Chen was sweating profusely—how could he deliver the baby in a place where there was no village in front and no shop in back! After a while, the militiamen came to report that the mopping up Japanese troops had left, and they hurried back to Baisha Village. Under a small oil lamp, Dr. Chen did his best to deliver Zhao Zhizhen.I didn't expect it to be a dystocia. After several hours, the baby still couldn't be born.Zhao Zhizhen was unable to moan anymore.If you drag it on, your life will be in danger!With all her heart, she dragged the child into the world!But Zhao Zhizhen yelled and passed out.

Before dawn, there was news that the Japanese army was going to kill the "returning carbine", and the troops had to be transferred immediately.Dr. Chen really didn't know what to do.When the villagers heard that Zhao Zhizhen was carrying Commander Yang's daughter, they disregarded their own safety, removed a door panel, lifted Zhao Zhizhen's mother and daughter, and ran as fast as they could.They traveled across mountains and rivers, day and night, and ran for more than ten days. They passed through Wanxian, Tangxian, Quyang, Laiyuan, and Yixian counties, and climbed several mountains such as Baihua Mountain, Shenxian Mountain, and Huata Bei Mountain.Every time when climbing the mountain, the comrades carrying the stretcher were afraid that Zhao Zhizhen would fall, so they had to tie Zhao Zhizhen to the door panel with ropes.

During the transfer, Japanese planes came to bomb from time to time.One afternoon, the team being transferred was spotted by Japanese aircraft.Seeing the enemy plane swooping down, it was too late to hide. The villagers put down the door panels and lay down around Zhao Zhizhen and the child, using their bodies to shield the mother and daughter from the shrapnel.Amidst the explosion, Minister Dong stumbled over from the billowing smoke, shouting as he ran, "Comrade Zhizhen! Doctor Chen!" He was relieved to see that Zhao Zhizhen's mother and daughter and Doctor Chen were all fine.
