Chapter 72 72. Long Yingtai and "Joining the Army with Bayonets"

■Just now you talked about Zhang Yufa, Long Yingtai wrote about this person in a special chapter: Fourteen-year-old Zhang Yufa and more than 8,000 middle school students, all from various middle schools in Shandong, formed the United Middle School. Following the principal and teachers, they left their hometown in Shandong and walked more than 1,000 kilometers.When taking the train, the carriages were full of people, and the roof was full of people. The children used ropes to try to fix their bodies on the roof, but they still inevitably fell off due to the vibration of the train.Every time the train passed the cave, everyone got down nervously, and when they got out of the cave, there were only a few people missing.When panicked, people who fell from the roof of the car and fell to their deaths were caught in the door of the car, and those who rushed to get on the car would use the dead body as a pedal to get up and down.

I really don't understand, what is a fourteen-year-old boy doing so hard to leave his hometown?Anti-Communist at the age of fourteen?Long Yingtai should explore the answer, right?But she didn't have one, only a picture of students in exile. Isn't it too lazy to write a book like this? □I think, with Long Yingtai's level, if he is not lazy, he may not be able to find the answer.The answer is actually in my book.My book "Li Ao's Life and Death Book" published a letter from the person concerned (of course not Zhang Yufa) to me, suggesting that the leader of the "Leaving Shandong Ji" at that time "may be a member of the Central Committee".In other words, they may have the status of Kuomintang agents, so that they want to take 8,000 students to flee with good intentions, but it is very obvious that this kind of exodus is suspicious. It was easier said than done when escaping in "1949", let alone a team of 8,000 people who fell to their deaths from a train cave and did not hesitate to do so. Is it necessary for a fourteen-year-old child?However, Long Yingtai only has "phenomena" and no "reason". This is her old skill in writing. As long as you are moved, you don't need to ask why.The 8,000 people were finally reduced to 5,000 people. After untold hardships, when they arrived in Penghu, they naturally aroused covetousness.On July 13, 1949, the incident happened.Long Yingtai wrote:

Students who are a little older but not yet twenty years old whispered to all the students that "they" are going to force us to serve as soldiers and that we are going to "walk out of the headquarters" today. The students began to pack their bags tacitly, carrying backpacks When he came out, he found that there were machine guns on all sides, aimed at them. All the boys, no matter how old you were, gathered in the center of the playground, surrounded by machine guns.Commander Li Zhenqing stood on the command platform, and everyone was silent. The children had never seen such a battle.Zhang Yufa said that at this time, a brave classmate shouted in the team, "Report to the commander, we have something to say!" Then he walked to the command platform. Li Zhenqing winked at the guard on the side, and the guard stepped forward. He raised his bayonet and stabbed at the student. The student's blood spurted out and he fell to the ground on the spot.

Zhang Yufa was short, standing in the front row, he could see clearly how the bayonet pierced into the body of his classmate.Seeing the bleeding, the middle school student cried out in fright. It doesn't matter whether you are seventeen or younger, as long as you are of a certain height, you can all join the army.The soldier took a bamboo pole and stood in the student line. When he stretched out his hand, the bamboo pole was put down, which was the dividing line between height and height.Zhang Yufa was only fourteen years old, and he didn't know how to hide. He was still a cousin. At that critical moment, he pushed him hard to the back, so the ignorant Zhang Yufa didn't become a boy soldier.

As Long Yingtai writes here, as usual, the "phenomenon" is complete and the "cause" is gone.She used sentimental stereotypes and poor Chinese to draw conclusions: Five thousand teachers and students who have traveled thousands of miles in order to grow up smoothly and study quietly, how could they know that they broke into an uneasy and cruel iron gate of history? Without cause and effect, what kind of work is this called? "Bayonet joins the army", who is the culprit?
