Chapter 45 Chapter 44: Man is Iron, Rice is Steel

Before the leaves fell, the mountains were busy.Flying in the sky, running on the ground, carrying food to the nest like ants moving house.The squirrel, which is called "chipmunk" by the Northeast people, runs and jumps with a long and big tail. Its two cheeks seem to contain two balls, which contain pine nuts, acorns and other wild fruits. Of course More food.With shriveled cheeks, it just finished a transport and came out of the nest.Those animals that do not store food, such as bears, deer, roe deer, tigers, etc., also hurry up and eat fat and strong. The common people call this "catch autumn fat" in order to survive the long winter when it is hard to find food. .

The officers and soldiers of the Anti-Union League have already started to do it-especially after the establishment of "group tribes" everywhere. In August 1939, Yang Jingyu led the headquarters, guard brigade, machine gun company, and special guard platoon to the northern part of Mengjiang County and the northeastern part of Huinan to attract the enemy and cover and raise food.Han Renhe led people in the area of ​​Toudao, Erdao, and Sandao Garden in Mengjiang, Yijunshan led people in the area of ​​Yushucha and Longwan in Huinan, and Li Qingshao led people in the area of ​​Mabutu Mountain, sleeping during the day and carrying food at night.

If there is a place where the relationship is easy to manage, if not, wait on the side of the mountain, and when you see someone coming, go to discuss with them.How much "grain out of the lot" does your family have to pay, how much surplus you can have, how much grain you can harvest from this piece of land, how much you can sell to us, and what the price is.When it was agreed to harvest, the rice-packed sticks were broken off and piled up together, covered with rice-packed straws, and the troops went to carry them into the mountains at night. In the autumn of 1938, in Dumuhezi, Hulin County, Shan Lizhi met Lao Gutou and Sun Ermazi through the relationship of "family rituals".Old Gu's son-in-law is a fake policeman, and he took advantage of this relationship to hide and bring out some food.There are large carts to pull things out of the tribe, and when loading the carts, press down to get more. In the spring of 1939, after Xu Fengshan was "internally dealt with", the two children were taken care of by Lao Gu, who were very reliable.Sun Ermazi is also a "family gift", and there is an old Youtou.

In the early afternoon of this day, I saw Uncle Gu coming from a distance, holding a dung basket in one hand and a sickle head in the other, walking in a hurry.Hundreds of Japanese puppet troops came from the tribe last night, and the nearby tribes were also full. They wanted to go into the mountains to "crusade". Uncle Gu said you should leave quickly, this place can't wait. Shan Lizhi asked Jiang Xinzhou and Gan Fengshan to go back to report, but he stayed behind. Fifty years later, the old man said, the three of us stayed in Dumuhezi for more than a month and got more than 2,000 catties of grain.This is usually not enough to fit between the teeth, but at that time the troops ate bark in the mountains, and it made a big difference whether they had this grain or not.Especially for the wounded and sick, that is the hope of living.At that time, everything was kept secret. Grassroots cadres like me just do what you are asked to do. I don’t know if the 7th Army still has relationships like ours and Lao Gu.The local party organization has long since disappeared, and without a "certificate" it is impossible to enter the tribe.The three of us went around several places, met people, chatted with them, and some reported to the enemy when they returned.After finally establishing a relationship with Old Gu Tou and the others, how could they give up so easily?

At dawn on the third day, the enemy went up the mountain. At this moment, Shan Lizhi crouched like a blind man in a hole in a big tree, and heard the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, and the mess was the sound of trampling on leaves.He thought it would pass in a while, but unexpectedly, the enemy was wandering around on the mountain, and would not leave until it was bright, and a boy even pounded the dead tree where he was hiding with a gun butt for a while.Hearing the sound of footsteps going to the mountain, Shan Lizhi managed to poke his head out of the tree hole, and the enemy came back again.After tossing for a while, I heard the sound of opening the lunch box and the sound of eating.

He couldn't tell when the enemy left, anyway, Shan Lizhi couldn't climb out of that tree hole. It was a two-foot-tall pine tree tube, as thick as two people hugging each other. After being struck by lightning, the top of the tree disappeared. When it received rainwater, the core of the tree rotted. It rotted to a depth of more than two meters, and the outer branches were still alive.Put on an old sheepskin jacket and go down, just enough to turn around.The first light snow has already fallen, and the damp tree hole has already frozen, and the old sheepskin jacket is not enough, and the heart will feel cold after a while.What's more terrible is that this posture is more than standing at attention, the hands and feet are numb, and the body is stiff.

He didn't hear Old Gu's footsteps, but he heard "Comrade Shan", "Comrade Shan", and a hand stretched out from above. On November 2, 1932, the "Report No. 2 of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China" stated: "The money problem has seriously affected many of our work, and many decisions have become empty words." From bullets to food and clothing, money could buy them at that time.And since 1938, it's not just about money.As mentioned earlier, when Yang Jingyu died, he didn't have a single grain in his stomach, and he had 6,660 yuan on him.When Zhang Xiufeng defected to the enemy, he took 9,960 yuan with him.The last two guards beside Yang Jingyu, Zhu Wenfan and Nie Donghua, also carried several thousand yuan with them when they died.At the time, it was definitely a huge sum of money.

Written from February 2 to March 19, 1940 and issued by the Jidong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, the "Draft New Outline on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement in Northeast China" stated: Since 1938, the guerrillas have lived in deep mountains and dense forests, almost completely severed their relationship with the masses, and are busy with eating all day long. On June 21, 1939, "Feng Zhongyun's letter to Jin Ce and other comrades about the activities, supplies, and cadres of the troops in the lower river" stated: The so-called military activities now are actually nothing more than (using) military force to solve supplies and supplies.The so-called "supply".

In northern Manchuria, it is called "calling for supplies", while in southern Manchuria, it is called "rushing for supplies".Whether it is "fighting" or "rushing", almost all the seniors of the Anti-Union League interviewed by the author said this sentence: "If the gun doesn't go off, the stomach will go off." The old man Wang Chuansheng said that before returning to the village, he would eat wherever he went, but after returning to the village, he had to carry dry food and food on his back.After Cheng Bin's rebellion, many battles fought by the 1st Route Army were all for food.Attacking Dapuchaihe Town, the Jagged Youth Squad rushed into the fake police station and smashed open a warehouse door, which was full of ammunition.This is of course a good thing, so put it in your pocket quickly, but the most lacking thing at this time is food.Hearing that there is grain in Xiaopuchaihe, I hurried to hunt Xiaopuchaihe.

Old man Cao Shuyan said that his company had two soldiers who were dragged away by wolves.Not a pack of wolves, just two.Two young men in their twenties, fully armed, lying there too hungry to move, what can you do? Yang Xiaokang and Zhang Quanshan said they were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to sleep and snore.More old people said that when an ambush was launched at that time, they probably took aim, so they had to "hug the fire" quickly.The man was so hungry that he was dizzy, and you wanted to aim, and after a while, stares appeared in your eyes, and the world was spinning, and you couldn't see anything clearly.

People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.Guns need to be eaten, people want to eat, and people want to be hungry, so no matter how full the gun is, it will be discounted. In the winter of 1938, the 7th Army Supplementary Regiment attacked the second half of the field near Qihulin River at night.Defending the enemy is a cavalry squad of the Japanese army, living in a large cellar.A platoon leader surnamed Qu led a soldier to touch it and killed the sentinel. Two machine guns and dozens of rifles sealed the doors and windows tightly. Twenty devils and twenty army horses were all killed. According to pre-war intelligence, the enemy brought in a large amount of supplies.The supplementary regiment gave everything they had, had a full meal, and set off impatiently, and there was this beautiful battle of annihilation.How can I clean the battlefield?It was later learned that it had not arrived yet. After chopping off some horse legs and carrying them back, he was so annoyed as if he had lost a battle: What's the rush, will you be hungry for two days and have nothing left? The team directly under the 1st Route Army intercepted two cars, what "good Heer"?I climbed into the car and saw a lot of bananas.It was cold and frozen, and the banana peels turned black.What is this?Some people say it is "Japanese eggplant" and eat it with the skin on. Eat whatever you want, and you won’t be hungry if you can’t fight anything. God and the Lord of the Land help out. Summer has always been the most active season for the Anti-Union League. Naturally, it is also a golden period for fighting more and raising more food. Storage has become a problem.In order to keep it secret, to prevent traitors from even serving the pot, they are usually scattered and hidden in multiple places, and each place is enough for a small army of more than a dozen people to eat for a month or two.In winter, it is enough to scrape off the snow and bury it. In summer, it is best to seal it with jars and jars and bury it in the ground, but there are no such things in the mountains.If it is raining, it will be moldy, if it is damp, it will be hidden in a cave, and if it is not done well, it will be reserved for wild animals. The old man Cao Shuyan said that fighting at that time was a battle for a bag of cigarettes.Hit the wood field, fight the tribe, the enemy makes a phone call, and reinforcements come along the guard road.When our troops are small and it is rare for us to send troops for reinforcements, we can't fight with the effort of two bags of cigarettes. If we fight, we have to win first and then lose.Even if it is a small tribe, the equipment is not good, and the old foreign guns and big lifting poles are used for an hour, and the enemy reinforcements have arrived.Rapid advance and rapid retreat, one guy hits in, catches one and runs away.The man was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, but his eyes turned red when he saw food, and he could run two miles with two bags of noodles on his shoulders. At the beginning of 1939, I fought a tribe in Raohe County and rushed into the headquarters of the Puppet Self-Defense Regiment. Seeing some leftovers on the table, two soldiers grabbed them and ate them.I said to clean up the battlefield quickly and withdraw quickly, and the two of them still gobbled up - the man couldn't control it when he saw the food, and he didn't care about anything. The old man lamented that how many people died for guns when they seized guns to form guerrillas.At that time, it was life for guns, but now it is life for food.Fight a battle, win it, sacrifice a few comrades in arms, and you will survive.Deal with it for ten days and half a month, then fight again, and then exchange food.Sometimes bloodshed and sacrifice can't be exchanged. On March 23, 1937, the "Letter from Zhang Zhonghua, Secretary of the Taonan Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, to the Central Delegation" stated: During the past one or two years in the Northeast, the Japanese invaders implemented group tribal construction everywhere, blocked the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and material economy.The source of supplies had to be prepared in advance for perennial military struggles, and it was decided to send a small number of troops to implement the farming system, find suitable places in the forest, and grow barley as a source of supplies to carry out long-term anti-Japanese war work with Japanese imperialism in Manchuria. On January 21, 1939, "Gao Yumin's Letter to Comrade Chen Fangjun Concerning Work and Production Matters" conveyed instructions from "the West", that is, the headquarters of the 3rd Route Army: The tasks given to you must be carried out unswervingly according to the plan, and empty talk is never allowed, especially the reclamation plan is our life. Now the Anti-Japanese Army in the Northeast, whoever ignores this task will be a sinner of the revolution. There are many such documents of the 2nd Route Army and the 3rd Route Army.The central content of Hou Qigang's "Little Khingan Mountains Plan" was to mobilize part of the troops to cultivate land in the middle of the Xiao Khingan Mountains. Beginning in 1938, the rear personnel of the 3rd Army, 4th Army, 5th Army, 6th Army, and 7th Army began to open up wasteland and farm land in various places. On September 1, 1940, "Wang Xiaoming's Letter to Zhou Baozhong" talked about "the current situation of farming in the rear": Hulin's defense reported that Adjutant Liu had four farms, Chief Sun had half a farm, and Adjutant Zhu had one farm. The seedlings were flourishing because the seeds were planted too late.A total of 6 farms were plowed in the three rear defenses of Raohe. The crops were very good.The people in the nests, big and small, have a total of six farms. If the enemy does not destroy them, we can get twenty or thirty shi, but the full calculation is not enough, and we still need to work hard to requisition. The old man Wang Yunqing said that the main function and task of the secret camp in the later period was farming.How many people you have here, how much land you have to plant, how much grain you harvest, if you have a number, you must complete it.In our Tudingzi secret camp, there are 5 people, men, women and children, who planted 3 45 mu of rice.Hungry, I wish I could plant that kind of seed in my mouth, but a lot of it ended up in the mouths of chickadees and chipmunks.As soon as it is planted, the chickadee digs it out, the chipmunk picks it up, and when the seedlings are unearthed, they are also picked up for you to eat. The most terrifying thing is the enemy. The old man said that because of the continuous replanting, Baomi has grown up for several generations. At the end of July, the water-packed rice grains on the sticks of the oldest generation were quite big. I went to the secret camp of the 5th Army and 3rd Division to do something, and I passed by a small shack to rest my feet.He had just finished smoking a bag of cigarettes when he heard footsteps.I tucked the small cigarette pouch around my waist, raised the box gun, kicked the door open, and the gun went off.Two fell down at the door, and there were also enemies on both sides. They dared not shoot for fear of hurting their own people.I can "get it" (have a chance), the front, the left and the right are protruding, and these boys are all arching into the grass.Not far away was a steep slope like a lazi, several feet high. I jumped off it all at once, rolled like a ball, was blocked by something, got up and ran again.I couldn't run anymore, so I lay there panting for a while, thinking that it was over, the bag of rice was over, and the secret camp was over.Take a shortcut and hurry up, and you can hear the noise in the field all the way, it's over!Most of them are puppet soldiers, and there are a few "white hats", who are noisy, hacking with bayonets and scratching with sickles, it makes my heart bleed.I'm down to two bullets.If it was full of bullets, it would be much more deadly.That's no good, as long as the enemy finds that land, it will be destroyed by you sooner or later, and the crops will not run away without long legs. There are no total figures on how much wasteland the Anti-Japanese League has opened up in the deep mountains and old forests, how much land has been planted, how much has been harvested by itself, and how much has been destroyed by the enemy.According to the old man interviewed by the author and the documents and materials seen back then, it should be that most of them were destroyed by the enemy. From the day you sow, chickadees and chipmunks will fight against you, and when the crops are ripe, wild boars and bears will also come to fight.To guard against animals and the enemies of the Two-legged Beast, they tried every means and worked hard, and finally got some food from the beast's mouth and the enemy's hands. Not to mention a traitor, wild boars and bears also came to steal.Wherever you hide, they can find them, even eat them and ruin them. Some of the documents carefully preserved by the 2nd Route Army and the 3rd Route Army were wrapped in tarpaulins and hidden in caves, and some were buried in jars and buried in the ground, and they were also completely arched. Naturally, they also provided delicious food to the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War. Most of the grain storage places in Beiman and Jidong secret camps were equipped with "ground guns", and almost all of them were harvested.Hidden and fixed the rifle on a higher ground, put a small iron ring on the handle of the gun, tied a thin wire to the trigger, passed through the iron ring backwards, and then pulled it forward, tied to the trigger like a tripping rope. On the tree trunk opposite the muzzle, the beast stumbled by, and the gun went off. Zhou Baozhong wrote in his diary on July 10, 1936: "Adjutant Song and Yin Qingxiang killed a wild bear that stole food and weighed three hundred catties." On the 13th, he said: "Shooting a black bear on the way to the march, all five shots were shot. Repeatedly happened." On January 4, 1941, "Letter from Bian Fengxiang, Zhou Yunfeng, etc. to Zhang Shouzhen" stated: "Eighteen wild boars were brought in last time, and the meat was about several thousand catties, and now there are more than 1,800 catties. Insert it in the place of eight beams." The old man Cao Shuyan said that there was a first snowfall in 1933. For some reason, all the wild animals in the mountains came down. Tigers, wild boars, blind bears, wolves, deer, roe deer, and voles swaggered and swayed in the streets of Lishu Town. Biting, not fighting, the common people shut their doors.This is what I heard.I saw with my own eyes, groups of roe deer and wild boars. In the winter of 1937 in Wudaogou, Mishan, I saw a herd of hundreds of wild boars running towards us like an avalanche and tsunami, scaring us so much that we hurriedly climbed up the trees, otherwise we would be trampled to pieces.Roe deer are easy to fight, silly, "beat roe deer with a stick", let alone a gun.The ant nests in the mountains and plains are like tombs, and some are taller than people, and Xiong Xiazi sits there and eats and eats.Be careful when shooting a blind bear. If you miss a shot or get wounded, it will be annoyed and will fight you desperately if it has the breath.The big wild boar is the hardest to fight.This thing always likes to rub against trees, rubbing pine oil seeds all over its body, it is called "hanging armor", with a thick layer, really like armor.The bullet is slightly deflected, and it staggers, and it slides over, and it runs towards you with its fangs bared.At that time, people who "sieged" all talked about "one pig, two bears and three tigers", and believed that the wild boar was the most fierce.In fact, wild boars also hurt people the most, because of their large number. On August 25, 1938, "Gao Yumin's Opinion Letter to the Northern Manchurian Provisional Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China" stated: We must learn to live the life of Qilin people. "Kirin people", also known as "forest people" and "Qilin people" at that time, were the Oroqen people who inhabited and lived in the mountains and forests and lived by hunting. In Jidong, they also referred to the Daur people who lived by fishing and hunting. In addition to clothing, language, customs, etc., the Anti-Japanese League has really become a "people on the mountains" (Olunchun is Tungusic, meaning "people on the mountains").It's just that the "people on the mountains" who have recently become "people on the mountains" are different from the "people on the mountains" who have continued the primitive existence of human beings. Their main characteristics and means of survival are more and more restricted.Hungry, looking at delicious food wandering in the woods, but sometimes just can't pull the trigger.At that time, it was said that these animals may also be in danger of extinction, and the country will promulgate the "Forest Law" decades later to classify them as protected animals at different levels. No one would believe it.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, didn't an Oroqen folk song still sing "roe deer, wild deer, and mountains and ridges can't be beat"?Let the stomach roar, but not the gun, because the gunshot may attract the enemy. Wang Chuansheng shot and killed a big fish weighing several kilograms, which was criticized by Yang Jingyu. On May 18, 1940, in "Wang Xiaoming's Report to Commanders Zhou and Zhao", when talking about a battle in Dumuhezi, he said: The biggest shortcoming of this battle was Captain Cui’s biggest mistake. He moved within the enemy’s search line, didn’t pay attention to the sound during the day, and hated squatting on mountains. , was surrounded and shot by the enemy, and the political commissar of Jin was weak and knocked down by the enemy's dogs, and the gun had not yet been taken out. In the early days of the guerrillas, they "do not rob or seize", and their food and clothing were generally inferior to those of the Volunteer Army and the Mountain Forest Team. After 1935, it gradually became consistent, and after 1936, it was obviously better than other teams.At that time, the army fought a few battles, and after returning to the base area, two things happened, one was to make "chewy wraps" warm hospitality for the common people, and the other was to distribute condolences to the officers and soldiers.Sometimes I have to add something, put on a show, show condolences. Nowadays, there are several canteens in most villages. At that time, it was the burden of the salesman, shaking a rattle, walking the streets and alleys, this village and that village.The Anti-League lives in the village, and the cigarettes, peanuts, candies, and bald pancakes are not enough to sell even a load.The officers and soldiers of each army have pocket money not called allowances. After 1938, many of those shopkeepers and those who went to the mountains to make a living were spies, not to mention the lack of money. Summer and autumn are easy to handle, wild vegetables and fruits, as well as mushrooms, dead oak trees give birth to fungus, and live monkey heads are also considered mountain treasures.It's just that what kind of mountain delicacies can't replace food?There is no salt, take off the clothes and put them in the pot to boil, the upper body of the clothes has not been washed, what is the smell?Isn't it disgusting to die today?This is what I wanted at that time, boiled sweat alkali, a little salty.Of course, there are also lice and gnats. In the words of the old man, they are "one ball at a time".Some still have blood, their own and the enemy's. The old man Hao Fengwu of the 9th Army, who will be written in more detail later, found it strange to see a pile of pears in the mountains.First, why is this pear turning black like a donkey dung egg?Second, there are no pear trees nearby, so where do you get the pears from?Looking again, there are more than a dozen in the front.Eat one, the noodles are gurgling, not very tasty.They took off their clothes and packed them back. Everyone had eaten enough. Guo Tiejian, the chief of staff of the detachment, came and said that it was Xiong Xiazi who pulled it out. Isn't there a saying "Xiong Xiazi eats pears-eat the whole pear"?The chief of staff of the 3rd Route Army, Li Xishan, who was eating deliciously, laughed loudly: "Wow, Xiong Xiazi disinfected it for us." The old man said that when he saw the horse dung eggs left by the enemy cavalry, he broke them open and saw a bag of rice grains, and put them in his mouth, chewing them so deliciously. In the past, a lot was seized and distributed to the common people, who even helped carry the spoils.This time, the "group tribes" all over the place couldn't carry it if they seized too much, and they ran for nothing if they seized less, and even lost money.Eat when you are hungry, eat when you are full, die when you are hungry, and die when you are full. After the Anti-Japanese Federation retreated to the Soviet Union, the amount of food was limited, and the amount was gradually increased, otherwise the stomach that was used to wild vegetables and bark could not bear it. There is Lu Yongjiu in the Army, a big man from Shandong, who eats 400 grams of bread per day, two small slices per meal, and he eats it in one bite.In the evening, I quietly ran to the cafeteria to eat and drink a lot.Was found, rushed to the hospital for gastric lavage.When he came back dejected, he said "eat for nothing", hence the name "eat for nothing". Lu Yongjiu is lucky.In the Northeast, some people are dying. Can't eat too much, but don't be stuffed to death.He doesn't need to be reminded by leaders and comrades, he understands everything by himself.But thinking this way in my heart, saying so in my mouth, the "chewy wrap" seemed to have grown legs, and I went in by myself. The old people say that elm bark is the most delicious, it is slimy and slippery.Apart from the strange smell of other bark, the key is that it can't poop.Just use branches and gun spies.If you can't pick it out by yourself, you stick your buttocks and pick each other.Broken, anal fissure, anal prolapse, what a crime.Some screamed so much that they couldn't hold back, and when they stopped screaming, they probably died. There is a saying that "a living person can still be suffocated to death by urine"-if you can't suffocate urine, you can suffocate to death with feces. After Wang Chuansheng and others crossed the boundary, they were inspected as usual.A Soviet lieutenant asked him: When you crossed the border, why didn't the dogs of the border guard patrol find you? Wang Chuansheng thought about it for a long time, and said, "Is it because I haven't been in a house for two years, and I've just been active in the mountains, and my body has no smell, so the dog's nose is out of order?" The old man Hao Fengwu said that people in the Northeast scolded people, saying that you don’t eat human food, don’t shit, don’t walk in human ways, and are inhumane—we were exactly like that at that time. On June 28, 1938, in "Wang Ruqi's Letter to Comrade Zhou Baozhong About the Troop Activities and Others", it said: "I am afraid that the supply will be difficult and I can't stay here for a long time. I will set off today to prepare for 13 days of supply (one big cow). " Compared with fighting "group tribes", it is best to fight pioneer groups.The Japanese and puppets imposed an economic blockade on the Chinese people, and rationed food and various daily necessities. Breaking in may also harm the interests of the masses.The Pioneering Group was different. They were rich, had a lot of food, and had a lot of cattle and horses.Riding horses and driving cattle, I feel very at ease.Infantry changed to cavalry, oxen and horses could carry food and eat. On the night of October 20, 1940, more than 70 people from the 5th Army attacked the pioneering group of Mishan North Station. The battle ended in one hour, 1 person was sacrificed, 10 were killed, 6 were injured, 4 were captured, and 12 rifles and more than 600 cotton were seized. Jin, 6 horses, 3 cattle, and more than 60 bags of grain. In December 1940, "Miscellaneous Notes on the Work of the Fifth Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Army (actually the 5th Army—the author) in 1940" stated: After Dalazi set off, nine people, Wang Shuchen, Zhang Zhiwen, Wang Yunjiang, Wang Xuetang, Zhang Hailou, Chen Qingyan, Han Fuheng, Zhang Guishan, and Zhang Honglin, died temporarily on the road due to hunger, injury or illness. Zhou Baozhong wrote in his diary on February 22, 1942: In the winter of 1942, Comrade Wang Xiaoming's troops and personnel were damaged by the second detachment: Wang Xigang (starved to death) Qiu Huijin (starved to death) Zhi Guolong (starved to death) In 1941, Dingzi of Baoqing Center starved to death or disappeared: Li Chengxiang, Sun Yujie, Li Zaimin, Lu Daocai, Zheng Litang, Chen Xueshan, Yu Dilun. In the late summer and early autumn of 1941, Wang Xiaoming led more than 30 people from Baomadingzi, Raohe County to Yilan.Due to the flooding of the Naoli River, I had to walk a long way around for a month, and I ran out of supplies.The first person to starve to death was the instructor Li Zaiming.This is a very strong man. He often led people to scout and explore the way along the way, and he put in the most physical strength.Then came the chief secretary, Lao Wang, and a cook.Pharaoh Wang is in his thirties, tall, and eats a lot. He is only half full of the same food when others are 80% full.Later, several died of starvation one after another. It should be said that this is a very good season.More than 40 days of travel, from summer to autumn, wild fruits from green to ripe, it is the season for picking mushrooms, there are fish, shrimp, and crayfish in the valley and river. The old man Cao Shuyan said that in the spring of 1941, he saw a man in Raohe Mountain.His clothes were ragged, his face looked like it hadn't been washed in a lifetime, his hair was long and drooping, skinny, and his eye sockets had two big holes.We "ghosts" are used to seeing them unconsciously. If others see them suddenly, isn't it just a ghost?When people are starving to death, they always drop their pants.The belt is tied to the hip bone. If there is no food in the stomach and no meat on the body, the hip bone cannot block the belt.You tie it up and tighten it hard, but the waist seems to be broken, and it still slips down.Trousers fell off, tripped, and the person had difficulty pulling them up. It is said that the negative ions in the Shiwanda Mountains in Guangxi are the highest in China.I don't know how Wanda Mountain, Changbai Mountain and Daxing'anling are ranked.Nowadays, people who have polluted the world pay attention to returning to nature and pursuing green.And no matter what kind of pure natural and pure green world you are in, it is the most natural to starve to death if you can't eat. The old man Hao Fengwu said that in the spring of 1940, there was still snow in the mountains, and the team could not move in the south of Keshan County, so the detachment leader Guo Tiejian decided to enter the village.There is food to eat when you enter the village. Everyone is motivated, and they crawl when they can't walk.When the sun was not stuck on the mountain, Guo Tiejian gasped for a while, leaning on a stick, and said: Everyone, please be more energetic and stand up.If you can stand up, don't crawl on all fours. If you can throw a stick, walk on two legs. Let the common people gain confidence and know that we can still beat Japan! The old man said that the distance was only one mile, and it took three hours to walk, and it took a while to take ten steps.When we entered the village, it was already dark that day.I followed Team Leader Guo into the house. When I entered the house, it was the kitchen. The lights were dark, and my hand suddenly touched a broken clay pot on the cooking table. There was something sticky in it, which was duck food or chicken food.It's cold, the chicken and duck have not been eaten, and they are frozen. Take it back at night and put it on the pot table, or next to the stove pit, and you can eat it the next day.I grabbed a handful and put it in my mouth, that incense, I grabbed another handful. Dong Fuji's whole family, young and old, Wen Jian and his whole family all learned from: Our army kidnapped your family members five days ago, but our purpose is not to kill them, but to use part of your property as anti-Japanese funds for our army. Our purpose is not to kill them.However, if you ignore it and do not prepare property, it is absolutely not allowed. For those cold-blooded animals who are still helping imperialism, believing in the power of the Japanese, oppressing and exploiting the common people, etc.So if you do not belong to the above-mentioned cold-blooded animals, you should solve the problem as soon as possible.A few days ago, Dong Fuji's family was ordered to provide 150 sets of underwear within five days, but it was not implemented, which is really strange.Now, if it is not delivered tomorrow morning, the ear of one hostage will be cut off and sent back to your home. If it is not delivered within three days, the heads of all the hostages will be chopped off and sent back to your home.In a word, if you love money, you will lose people. Send a quick report to the Wen family, and at the same time to the Xiu, Ji and other three families. If they don't hand over the property within tomorrow, they are also going to return the hostage's ears first. The First Regiment of the First Division of the Second Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army political commissar Many of the ear-cutting and head-cutting mentioned here are for the enemy to watch.Otherwise, if you say you "collaborate with bandits", "take pictures", and "kill Dagou", the common people will suffer. In November 1936, a donation letter written by Cui Donghuo, Feng Pirang, and Yang Shaochen of the 5th Army Command should be said to be both common and typical.The beginning of the article is "Mr. Liu Zhongda Hui Jianshi", and then half of the page explains "Japanese invaders and pirates ravage my white mountains and black waters", the situation in the Northeast and the whole country, how the anti-union officers and soldiers fought against the enemy, and then wrote: Your Excellency is the forerunner of the people in the village, and understands the current affairs. You will not be willing to live a life of subjugated slaves, and your determination to resist Japan and save the country must be twice that of ordinary people.Therefore, our army deeply hopes that you and the country are equally responsible for the survival of the country, and secretly operate, so that the township party and neighbors will do their best to help our coalition army carry out the great cause of saving the country.Also, since your Excellency is rich in wealth, you should follow the good example of the divination general to help the country fight against the invaders, and help our army to pay for winter clothing and military supplies, so that our soldiers can be fed and warm, so as to facilitate the fight against the bandit army. and also.The mere 500 military expenditures come from Your Excellency. Although it is not a drop in the bucket, forgive me for being stingy and unkind, and disregarding the obligations that our compatriots have to resist Japan and save the country.Reply within five days after the letter arrives, and pay within ten days to meet the urgent military needs of our army. Fortunately, don't wait and see. At that time, almost everywhere the armies and their subordinate units went, they would write this kind of letter, and they usually got a response. Then things changed. Of course, in the past, money was usually asked for, but now it is directly asked for food. On October 12, 1939, "Feng Zhongyun's Work Report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" stated: Since 1938, most of the teams on both sides of the Songjiang River have been surrounded by deep mountains and dense forests. They are hungry and cold, and have run out of food and ammunition. Food that is hard to come by and cannot be supplied. On November 26 of the same year, "Zhang Shouzhen's Letter to Gao Yumin, Xia Zhenhua, etc." said: Although you lead an unstable army, although you have neither funds nor food, lack the cooperation of local organizations, and have no connections with the masses, eat bark, swallow pine nuts, chew horse hide, and eat the meat of fallen soldiers. Lovely flesh! No matter what kind of army, it has not violated discipline at this point, isn't it a fantasy? On June 22, 1938, "Liu Shuhua's Letter to Comrade Zhou Baozhong Regarding Military Operations and Other Situations" stated: My fifth and eighth armies were cheated out of five or six hundred yuan when I was shopping in Yidong. It was the old Zhang’s family (related to shopping) who moved and detained his brother in the team, but the family declared that he would not "Kill and keep whatever you want, but the money is gone", so after our discussion, the man's brother was sentenced to death. Some people are determined and spare no effort to support the Anti-Union.Some people were excited for a while, and when they saw that the red land was gone and the Anti-Japanese League was forced into the mountains, they became discouraged.Some people were reluctant at the beginning, but now they are even more afraid of avoiding it, and some have become traitors and lackeys. Moreover, due to wars, return to the village, "grain out of the load", "Manchurian steamed buns", etc., the people are becoming impoverished day by day, and some wealthy families are also struggling.On the other hand, the pockets of the Kanglian have also shrunk, and the area of ​​activity is getting narrower and narrower. The options for "buying relationships" like the old Zhang's are getting smaller and smaller, and their reliability is naturally lower.Some are masters who risk their lives for money, and some want to redeem their lives with money, but they can't. The 5th Army took a hostage in Baoqing, a child, twelve years old, named Zhu Zhensheng, and the family never gave money to redeem him.The enemy "punished" and the troops were transferred. Later, Zhou Baozhong was taken to the Soviet Union, and he was considered to have joined the Anti-Japanese League.Beautiful, smart, learned Russian quickly, everyone liked him, died of typhoid fever in 1944. On September 11, 1939, "Zhou Baozhong's letter to Zhang Zhenhua on issues such as reconnaissance of the enemy and preparation of supplies" stated: This kind of thing is very difficult to do under the current situation. The enemy's environment is very restrictive, and our goal is very urgent. Naturally, we can't do it smoothly. Sometimes we get like Cao Cao eating chicken bones, There is no meat to eat, and it is a pity to throw it away.But you have to understand a key point: the amount of requirements - the purpose should not be too high, if you can do it, if you can't do it, or if it is too late, you have to give up immediately and make other plans, even if you have small benefits, you have to give up. Do not covet and linger. Once a hostage is captured, you have to contact them, which is equivalent to holding a thread in their hands.Even if your family members don't report to the enemy, the spies and detectives will follow you if they hear the news.This kind of loss has not been spared.But sometimes, there is only this kind of helpless way. The old man Hu Yizhen said that in the winter of 1939, when he was active in the south of Diaoling, a small army went down the mountain to "gather supplies", and a few horses were brought back from ordinary people's homes.There is a horse that looks familiar. Isn’t this our blind horse?My little sister got it in exchange for a kiss.I touched its mouth, it seemed to remember me, and licked my hand vigorously.The leaders criticized them and asked me what to do.I said that people are like this, so it can be considered as a contribution to the Anti-Japanese War. On June 21, 1939, "Feng Zhongyun's Report to Jin Ce and Transfer to Beiman Provincial Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" stated: The 23rd Regiment is still in the Xijiangtao area of ​​Suibin. After the regiment director Xu Guo fled back to the military headquarters, the company commander also fled. There are only about 20 members left, all of whom have been bandits. cigarette.This regiment was the one that had eaten human flesh last year. All members were from Shandong, and they were quite tenacious. Some old people said that this regiment was the first to eat human flesh, and it belonged to the army.They were surrounded by the enemy on an island in the middle of the river, and they fought for a few days. The enemy couldn't get in, and they couldn't get out.Later, even if the enemy let them go, the man couldn't move anymore.That was way too much of a time.Sometimes the only thing that can keep a person alive is the corpse of an enemy, or the remains of a comrade in arms.Or starve to death, or survive, continue to fight, what should I do? The old man Hu Zhenyi said that the 5th Army took over a human-eating troop, more than 10 people, and sent it to the military headquarters.I heard that they ate human flesh, some people went to see it, and I also went.Eat up the sacrificed comrades, what kind of people are these?The clothes are okay, but she is too thin to look good, she doesn't speak, and her eyes are dull.Some people stared at them, saying can they eat it?They were still dumbfounded, but tears were streaming down their faces.I also cried, didn't dare to watch it, and left. Several old men talked about cannibalism. Someone said that an old man had eaten human flesh.The author tentatively chatted with the old man, who sighed and shook his head. Old people almost avoid this question. During the "Cultural Revolution", someone was posted a big-character poster, saying that you ate the meat of revolutionary martyrs, where did your class feelings go?
