Chapter 9 Chapter Eight

The thin monkey held a basket in his left hand, and there were some dried mushrooms in the basket.Holding a towel in his right hand, he just walked forward, ignoring Inoue Kobayashi who was following behind. After walking for a while, the thin monkey looked left and right, and suddenly slowed down. When Inoue Kobayashi approached, he whispered but forcefully, "Listen, you still pretend to be dumb and don't speak!" Inoue Kobayashi was wondering: Is this person the skinny monkey who cut firewood in Bachelor Mountain?Hearing what the thin monkey said, he nodded quickly. They walked forward in tandem.

After going through several alleys, turning several corners, and walking about 200 meters away, a large courtyard appeared in front of me.There are walls around.Obviously, this is a courtyard within a courtyard.Because of the heavy security.There are barbed wire fences on the high courtyard wall.The entrance is an iron gate.The iron gate is opposite, about ten meters wide.On both sides of the gate, there is a Japanese sentinel standing guard. The thin monkey went to the sentry on the right, and handed him some ID. The sentry didn't accept the ID, but just glanced at it, tilted his head, and beckoned him to go in.The thin monkey jumped up, saluted the sentinel, and said, thank you!When saying thank you, the thin monkey held the basket in his left hand, straightened his right arm and leg, and bent over with his right toe on the ground, looking very funny.The two sentries laughed and waved to him.From the looks of it, they are very familiar.However, the thin monkey did not leave, but looked down at the sentinel's leather shoes.After looking at it for a while, he suddenly squatted down, took out a towel, and wiped the dust on his shoes.The thin monkey wiped it and said, Taijun, there is dust on the shoes, and Miss Hua doesn't like it!

Hahaha, the soldier who was polished shoes looks very useful. The thin monkey jumped again, and jumped to the sentinel on the left, wiping his shoes as well.Feeling a pockmark on the toe of the shoe, the thin monkey took out his pocket, took out the shoe polish, rubbed it on, and then rubbed it again.After wiping, I looked around, and then I said, such a bright leather shoe, a flower girl like a butterfly, just flew here! As he said that, the thin monkey opened his arms, tilted his head, twisted his waist, and shook his buttocks, and flew away like a butterfly spreading its limbs. The two sentinels leaned forward and back together with laughter.

The thin monkey said what he just said in fluent Japanese, and the two Japanese soldiers laughed again.The mustache on the left said, Skinny Monkey, you are such a real treasure! This thin monkey is really getting more and more mysterious! After a big laugh, the thin monkey put away the towel, and kicked Kobayashi Inoue's ass with a bang: silly, what are you looking at?Hurry up, hurry up and help Taijun work! After entering this gate, to the west is the barracks.All red brick houses.However, between the barracks and this compound, there is a barbed wire barrier more than two people high.The height is about the same as the current tennis court.Inoue Kobayashi couldn't understand why the barracks were separated from this big wall?Everything in the barracks could be seen clearly through the barbed wire.In front of the barracks, there are fitness facilities such as parallel bars, horizontal bars, and swings. On the cable-stayed wires, quilts and clothes are drying.There are several houses side by side in the barracks.

This courtyard is obviously more advanced.Some eaves are still plastered with cement.The doors, walls, and room corners all have cement flower decorations.Western style.There is a house similar to the hospital in Yokohama, Japan.picture.so similar.It turned out that the main entrance was on the north side. After turning a corner, Inoue Kobayashi saw the sign of the hospital!However, the scale of the hospital is very small, at best it is equivalent to a small clinic. Taking a shortcut, the thin monkey led Inoue Kobayashi into a small alley.The thin monkey said in a low voice, don't look everywhere!It's not enough to be dumb, you have to act like a fool!

When the thin monkey spoke, he didn't look at Inoue Kobayashi, but looked elsewhere. Inoue Kobayashi repeatedly agreed. The thin monkey pointed to the house on the left, and said that behind this house was the "Gongzi Building". Inoue Kobayashi was confused.Why did the thin monkey say such a sentence suddenly? What happened to the "Working Building"? Inoue Kobayashi can probably see the difference between dormitories, offices, hospitals, shops, entertainment halls, and cafeterias.It seems that this courtyard is a small society with everything.There are still some mysterious places that Inoue Kobayashi cannot guess.

The thin monkey stopped in front of a half-high house. Arrived.said the thin monkey. Inoue Kobayashi saw that this was a cafeteria.The small door in front of him was obviously the side door of the cafeteria.After the thin monkey said "Follow me", he carried the small basket and jumped forward three times and two times.After a while, he turned around again, waved to Inoue Kobayashi, and said, come, come in!Come in! After Inoue Kobayashi went in, he began to move briquettes according to Shouhou'er's instructions.The coal blocks are placed in front of the courtyard wall of the cafeteria, and must be moved to the back kitchen of the cafeteria and stacked.After moving a large pile of briquettes, the thin monkey arranged for Kobayashi Inoue to carry the parcels.The package was wrapped in straw bag paper, so I couldn't guess what was inside.A Japanese woman was always watching.She was wearing a kimono, tall and slender, and her face was pink and white.The thin monkey glanced at the Japanese woman and said something.The Japanese woman actually giggled.

Inoue Kobayashi was also puzzled, how could he talk to everyone? These parcels have to be carried from one empty house to another.A dozen or so packages were quickly carried away.The thin monkey helped the woman clean the door, and then returned to the cafeteria with Inoue Kobayashi.At noon, people eating in the cafeteria came in one after another.Only then did Inoue Kobayashi realize that most of the people eating were Japanese.These people seldom wear military uniforms. It seems that they are all logistics. The thin monkey led Inoue Kobayashi into a small room and said, you should eat first.The thin monkey brought rice and vegetables to Inoue Kobayashi.Rice is rice.Dishes are fried potato chips and cabbage soup.Inoue Kobayashi hasn't eaten rice for a long time!At Xinghua's house, the food is not bad, and there are often stir-fried vegetables with salted roe deer meat.However, it is too difficult to eat rice!

A few minutes later, when Skinny Monkey came back, he brought some sushi.Inoue Kobayashi's eyes lit up, unexpectedly, he ate sushi here! Mom makes the best sushi at home.I do it almost every day, and I'm tired of eating it.After coming to China, to be precise, since he went to the Eighth Route Army, he saw sushi for the first time!In Northeast China, in Xifeng, in Fuyuan, he actually saw sushi!Picking up a piece of sushi, Kobayashi Inoue misses her mother so much! The thin monkey also brought food, but he didn't eat it. Instead, he used his chopsticks to order the sushi in Inoue Kobayashi's bowl, saying, "Try it?"

When Inoue Kobayashi bit it, words appeared from the seemingly wrapped seaweed skin.It says: Inoue Xiaomei works in the "Working Building".The day after tomorrow, she will see you. It was only then that Inoue Kobayashi suddenly realized, no wonder Shouhouer mentioned "Gongzilou" just now, it turns out that my sister is here!Inoue Kobayashi read the note, and his blood rushed all over his body, sister, I haven't seen you for several years, my sister! I remembered that when he and Koizumi Shinichi were looking for her, they ran from Siping to Xifeng, and then from Xifeng to Fuyuan, but they didn't see my sister!Inoue Kobayashi tried his best to control his emotions and swallowed the note...

When Inoue Kobayashi came again, the thin monkey still made him do hard work. When entering the hospital again, the thin monkey did not shine the leather shoes of the two sentinels, but gave them a small flower handkerchief each.There are beautiful dancing Japanese beauties painted on the handkerchief.The two sentries put them away happily, and let them in without even looking at their credentials.The thin monkey still walks bouncyly, jumping around like a monkey.Especially jumping on the steps, it's more powerful than monkeys, it's ridiculous.When the Japanese woman in kimono saw him last time, she pointed to the corner of the room and said, let’s have a monkey climb a pole! The thin monkey said "Okay", and several tall children jumped over, grabbed the corner of the house with both hands, jumped, moved their hands and feet, swished, and climbed to the eaves in a few moments.Then, he suddenly came upside down, clamped his feet to the corner of the wall, turned his head downwards, glides quickly, and landed on the ground with a "teng".This action, not to mention the Japanese women applauded repeatedly, slapped and laughed, even Inoue Kobayashi was secretly surprised.It can be seen that the thin monkey often performs such funny and thrilling performances in front of these people. Kobayashi Inoue suddenly remembered that in the Single Mountain in Siping, the thin monkey walked in the air like a monkey on the tree on the precipice and dangerous peak, coming and going freely! After finishing the work, the thin monkey took Inoue Kobayashi to an abandoned warehouse and said, stay here and don't move.Also, don't reveal my identity.Inoue Kobayashi didn't quite understand, and was about to ask, but the thin monkey turned around and left. More than ten minutes later, a mighty and beautiful Japanese female soldier came in.When Inoue Kobayashi saw it, he rushed over immediately, and it was his sister Inoue Xiaomei who came! After three years, the siblings met for the first time, and it was in China!Inoue Xiaomei was very excited, she couldn't control it anymore after calling "Brother", and sobbed on Inoue Xiaolin's shoulder.She didn't dare to cry, but she couldn't control it... After the brothers and sisters told each other about their separation, they didn't ask any more questions. Instead, they looked at the elder brother's face and carefully stroked the scar on his elder brother's brow that Sun Sanxiang had made.ask.Inoue Kobayashi said that he was accidentally hurt.Inoue Xiaomei also talked about her childhood story: she said that as soon as she was bullied by boys, her elder brother would fight them desperately.After being injured, he didn't dare to tell his father, so he lied that he was injured accidentally.It was either picking peaches or going down the river to catch fish, and my father got angry, saying that you didn't go to school well, why did you do these things?Whenever this time, my mother came out to smooth things over. Inoue Xiaomei suddenly asked: Brother, what happened to my mother's heart disease? Inoue Kobayashi was startled, and said, it's okay. However, one of my comrades-in-arms Qianchuan Xiaoye went back, and I asked her to see my mother. My father said that my mother was hospitalized.My second comrade-in-arms went back and didn't see my mother. I was worried... Don't worry, mom is still the same.Inoue Kobayashi said. Fearing that the time would delay the business, Inoue Kobayashi said that he had been involved in the Eight Routes. When Inoue Xiaomei heard this, her face turned pale with fright, she looked at her brother up and down for a long time as if she didn't know her, she shook her head again and again, and after shaking her head for a long time, she finally expressed her opinion: Brother, I really didn't expect, why did you betray the motherland? Sister, how could I betray the motherland? You have joined the Eighth Route of China, isn’t it a betrayal of the motherland? Sister, listen to me... I don't listen, I don't want to listen!Komi Inoue turned her face away. Inoue Kobayashi held his sister's shoulders and said, little sister, I love our motherland, Japan, and our Yamato nation just like you.But because of this, I joined the Eighth Route Army. Inoue Kobayashi went to the front of his sister and said, little sister, I love my motherland, but I am against Japanese fascism!Against the Japanese military!If it weren't for their poor soldiers, our country would not be so dilapidated, our people would not be in such dire straits, and our tens of thousands of families would not be so suffering from war.You are only a freshman, and I also gave up going to college. We all joined the army with enthusiasm, but look, what have we done in China?Killing innocent people and robbing people of their wealth have caused too many kind-hearted civilians to suffer from war, lose their homes, relatives, and their future in life! Komi Inoue's eyes widened, she lowered her voice but said forcefully: But you—but you can't betray either! I just want to betray!Inoue Kobayashi did not give in, and said word for word, sister, the big fascist lunatics in power in Japan are directing blindly, and fascist thugs like us who don’t know the truth are also acting as thousands of little lunatics. Such a group of people, such a gangster Why don't we betray an interest group like this? In China, the rulers implemented "wartime news control", saying that we are here to help the Chinese, build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and live a good life for the Chinese people, as well as for the Japanese people.In fact, this is to deceive the Japanese and harm the Chinese!We passionate young people who don't know the truth think that we are serving the country, but in fact, like bandits and robbers, we come to China to burn, kill and loot, doing all kinds of evil! The more Kobayashi Inoue talked, the more excited he was, and he said, little girl, you have seen that besides us soldiers, there are also many Japanese who come to China one by one, called the "pioneering group".I didn’t know until I came to China that the Japanese authorities plan to send 5 million people to Northeast China in the next 20 years.I saw with my own eyes that the Japanese forcibly drove the Chinese away. In some places, ten acres of land were only paid one yuan.In some places, the Chinese were simply killed, the walls were enclosed, and new houses were built for the Japanese to live in.These new Japanese, seize the homes of the Chinese, seize the land of the Chinese... Inoue Kobayashi was very angry, and said, little girl, think about it, you are still "immigrating", have any immigrants moved to other people's land?Little sister, let's compare our hearts, if foreigners treat us like this, can we let it? After hearing this, Inoue Komi's beautiful eyes widened.The long eyelashes are flickering, and the corners of the eyes are full of tears.There was shock, fear, confusion and despair in her eyes.Yes, not to mention her, more Japanese soldiers and Japanese have not thought about these issues.They were just loyal to the emperor and the Yamato people, but they didn't expect that they were doing something outrageous... Inoue Xiaomei's voice was obviously quieter, saying brother, but what does this have to do with us small people? Why doesn't it matter?If there is no war, you are in college, and I am almost finished college.My mom wouldn't have died if there hadn't been a war... What?Mom died?Inoue Komi's eyes widened in horror. Inoue Kobayashi didn't want to say it at first, but he was too excited just now! Inoue Kobayashi knew that his father's allegiance to the Emperor was out-and-out.In his eyes, the emperor's cough is an imperial decree.When I came here, my father told me not to tell my sister the news of my mother's death.He was afraid of affecting his sister's will to be loyal to the emperor.Cough, it's been three years, and my sister is still in the dark! When Inoue Kobayashi told the story of her mother's death, Inoue Xiaomei threw herself into her brother's arms, crying uncontrollably. The two brothers and sisters hugged each other tightly. Not a word was said. But what is cruel is that the two brothers and sisters hugged each other anxiously in such an environment - dare not cry, dare not scream... When Inoue Kobayashi saw that the heat was about to come, and persuaded Inoue Xiaomei to join him in joining the Eighth Route of China and end this hateful war earlier, Inoue Xiaomei was so frightened that she pushed her brother away and said, no!I can't do it! Inoue Kobayashi said, little girl, listen to me... No!elder brother!Don't talk about this matter again!Inoue Xiaomei took out a handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and said calmly, brother, time is not short, I will go back.Brother, if it is because of this matter, please...don't come to me again. Fearing that she could not control herself, Inoue Xiaomei turned around suddenly and left without looking back. Seeing that the Japanese soldiers on the gun tower were still shooting, Inoue Kobayashi suddenly rolled behind a big rock.Kobayashi Inoue yelled at Gu Ping, come here, come here! Seto Guping was injured, lying on his back on the ground, panting heavily. Se Guping didn't dare to move any more, lay down and said, my thigh was shot. Seto Guping stretched out his hand to touch his thigh, his palm was stained red. Inoue Kobayashi's left hand was also hurt, and it hurt so badly.But the soldiers on the turret were still shooting. A strong desire to survive can often produce miracles.Se Guping stood up abruptly, and after running for a few steps, he rushed forward desperately, throwing his body behind the safe big rock... Behind the boulder, Inoue Kobayashi took off his clothes, opened the border, and took out the Japanese flag in the interlayer.Then, Inoue Kobayashi tied the national flag to a stick and let it rise slowly behind the big rock. It was this national flag that prevented the Japanese soldiers from shooting. Fortunately, Seguping's thigh was pierced by a bullet, and no bones were injured. Kobayashi Inoue's left little finger was hit by a bullet and broke.However, Inoue Kobayashi did not regret it at all, after all, he returned to his army. came back! Where can Inoue Kobayashi go, especially when he met his comrades from the original "reinforcement team", he was very kind.However, everyone was lukewarm when they saw him.Except Shinichi Koizumi. Koizumi Jin ran over to see him and brought a bottle of sake: Master, are you still alive? What is this nonsense?You want me to die? Oh no no no no!Shinichi Koizumi was overjoyed, his face was happy, but his eyes were full of tears.He raised the wine bottle again and said, Master, this is what my dad just asked someone to bring. The best sake, by the way, is from Yokohama! Inoue Kobayashi is not in the mood to drink now.Inoue Kobayashi wants to see his boss.Before being captured, his boss was Segu Ping.Now Se Guping was injured and hospitalized. Besides, Se Guping was also a prisoner like himself, so Inoue Kobayashi had to find his boss, Kazuo Asada, the squadron leader.Hearing Koizumi Shinichi say that Asada Kazuo was playing cards with the soldiers, Inoue Kobayashi asked Koizumi Shinichi to wait for him for a while, and he wanted to report what he knew in the Eighth Route Army.This is another way to work! Kazuo Mata didn't raise his head when he saw Inoue Kobayashi, waved to Inoue Kobayashi, and said coldly, go, go, I don't have time to talk to you! Inoue Kobayashi was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover, saying Captain Asada, I... Get out, get out of here!Captain Ma Tian blasted him outside. Inoue Kobayashi had no choice but to salute him in embarrassment, then turned and left. Seeing Kobayashi Inoue coming back drooping, Koizumi Shinichi persuaded him, saying that he wanted to open some masters, come here, no matter what else, let's have a drink first to celebrate that you survived a catastrophe! Kobayashi Inoue didn't speak, picked up the wine bottle, started to drink, saw that half of the bottle was gone, and still didn't let go, Koizumi grabbed the bottle one by one, saying master, no matter what, staying alive is the greatest victory! Kobayashi Inoue was upset, and said Shinichi Koizumi, please explain clearly to me, what do you mean by this? Only then did Shinichi Koizumi tell the truth.After Kobayashi Inoue was wounded and captured that day, the squadron leader personally led people to the battlefield and cremated all the Japanese soldiers who died in battle.Inoue Kobayashi's ashes were also sent back to Japan in an urn.At the same time, a "war death notice" was sent to Inoue Kobayashi's family. Inoue Kobayashi exploded when he heard it, Lenovo was snubbed by the squadron leader Asada just now, and an unknown fire rushed to his head: We fought desperately on the battlefield for the country and the emperor, but these bastards sent other people's ashes I went home? !So many young people with good hearts died in battle, how could they do this?It can be seen that those urns sent back to Japan may contain whose ashes, dead cats or dogs may be in them! Inoue Kobayashi was angry, and slapped the table down, and the white gauze on his left hand immediately oozes blood. Koizumi Jinichi quickly persuaded Inoue Kobayashi, saying, master, don't be angry, this... I'm going to find Captain Asada!Inoue Kobayashi stood up and walked out of the house. With a bang, the door opened. Look no further, here I come!Captain Ma Tian stood at the door. Behind Ma Tian, ​​there were still two soldiers with guns standing. Ma Tian waved to the two soldiers: Bind Inoue Kobayashi for me, and put him in confinement! Captain Ma Tian personally interrogated Inoue Kobayashi.Asada was very angry because Inoue Kobayashi was stubborn and refused to admit that he had surrendered.On the first day, Asada decided not to let Inoue Kobayashi eat. Inoue Kobayashi was very chilling.The Eighth Route Army was so poor, they were full and hungry, but they gave him braised pork.Not even Commander Liu Bocheng has such treatment!Go back to your own troops, but like this!The most chilling thing is not being trusted.Inoue Kobayashi originally wanted to tell Ma Tian what he had seen and heard in the Eighth Route Army, but Ma Tian said, it's a joke!How could I believe the words of a traitor who was captured by the Eighth Route? Ma Tian reprimanded him: As a Japanese samurai, why didn't he commit suicide after being arrested? Inoue Kobayashi really thought about committing suicide.When he woke up after the operation, he looked for hard objects, ropes, and swallowed things that could kill him, but he was stopped by Chen Tiequan several times.Even if Chen Tiequan was not there, there were special guards watching him in the ward.Later, Commander Liu Bocheng's words shocked him: What is death?How easy is it to die?But living, especially living in such troubled times, is so difficult!Young man, you remember—the bravest person is alive! Inoue Kobayashi repeatedly explained that he had not betrayed, and Asada said, don't say anything else.Listen to your one-sided words, who can believe it?You have to be mentally prepared now. First, during the confinement period, write the inspection carefully, and focus on explaining how you were brainwashed by the Eight Routes.Second, how much have you told Eighth Road about our secret?Third, it is necessary to impose military punishment on you, but the superior has not yet approved how to deal with it. Inspection, confession, and military punishment, these words and sentences gouged out Inoue Kobayashi's heart like a knife.Inoue Kobayashi hoped that Se Guping would recover from his injury, but fortunately, Se Guping was also a prisoner.Maybe it will be better if Ariso Guping "advances the words".Besides, Seguping used to be the captain of his "strengthening team", so he knew him well.However, what makes Inoue Kobayashi puzzled is that Seguping wants to get rid of himself, so how can he care about Inoue Kobayashi?Se Guping said that he was captured after being injured in the last battle, and he didn't know about Inoue Kobayashi at all.Se Guping even said that Kobayashi Inoue had been in the Eight Route Army for almost a month, what he did in this month, and why the Eight Route Army didn't kill him, only ghosts can explain clearly.Obviously it was Inoue Kobayashi who proposed to come back, but in order to clear himself up, Seguping said that he was the one who took the lead in running away.Passed through the borders along the way, killed four, five, and eight roads, and then ran back to our territory... When Inoue Kobayashi heard this, he was dumbfounded.Tell Captain Asada that's not the case.He also explained in detail the reason why Balu let them come back. Ma Tian not only did not believe it, but also sent a message to Se Guping.When Seto Guping heard this, he became angry, and decided to make further troubles.Lai Guping said that Inoue Kobayashi said a lot of good things about the Eighth Route Army along the way, such as eating braised pork, high medical skills, uniform officers and soldiers, and so on.Seguping knew that if Inoue Kobayashi was not "suppressed", he would also be in danger of being punished by the military.Such a "contributory meritorious service" will make one's own burden much lighter.So, he handed over the burden of responsibility to Inoue Kobayashi... What puzzled Inoue Kobayashi was that the squadron leader Asada punished him.Pulling the belt, roasting the fire, and sitting on a simple tiger stool, he insisted on asking him to "confess" and what information he provided to the Eighth Route Army.Kobayashi Inoue certainly has nothing to say.Ma Tian asked people to question him repeatedly about how he was captured.I have repeatedly emphasized that no lying is allowed, and that memories must be taken seriously.Tell the truth.However, the more Inoue Kobayashi told the truth, the more Asada thought that Inoue Kobayashi was speaking well for Balu. Later, Ma Tian came to the conclusion: this Inoue Kobayashi was hopeless, and he had to be locked up until the military punishment from his superiors came down. ! In order to prove his innocence, Inoue Kobayashi went on a hunger strike for two days.useless.The more he was like this, the more Asada called him "stubborn".On the fourth day of the second confinement, Inoue Kobayashi began to eat.Moreover, Inoue Kobayashi asked Koizumi Shinichi to secretly deliver food to him.Inoue Kobayashi asked the soldiers guarding him to send a message to Ma Tian, ​​as long as he was given a few meals of meat, he would repeat the message. The three words "re-speak" are too tempting. Asada said on the phone to his superiors that this Inoue Kobayashi may become a good negative teaching material.Until one morning, Kobayashi Inoue suddenly disappeared!The rear window was removed.It was only then that Ma Tian suddenly realized, and said damn it, I let this kid fool me! Inoue Kobayashi soon returned to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. When Chen Tiequan met Inoue Kobayashi, he was closer than his brother.Chen Tiequan punched Inoue Kobayashi several times, jumped high, hugged Inoue Kobayashi, and said to his comrades, tonight, we are going to have a dinner party and eat braised pork. Welcome Inoue Kobayashi back!Chen Tiequan said, it's good that you come back.From now on, you are our comrade, our brother! The soldiers who beat and scolded him when he was hospitalized all came after hearing the news.This one apologized to Inoue Kobayashi, and the other gave him quilts and clothes.The quilt and clothes were newly issued by themselves, and now they forwarded them to Inoue Kobayashi.The soldier who was stopped by Chen Tiequan when he wanted to hit Inoue Kobayashi took out his pocket and took out an embroidered cigarette purse, saying Inoue Kobayashi, last time, I’m sorry, now I’ll give you this cigarette purse , as a souvenir. The soldier who knew it said that it was a souvenir of his fiancée! Inoue Kobayashi looked at this, looked at that, very excited.He kept bending over and bowing, tears rolling down his face. Unexpectedly, Commander Liu Bocheng also came for dinner at night. After Liu Bocheng asked Chen Tiequan to deliver a bowl of braised pork, he also personally filled a large bowl of wine, held it up high, and said, Mr. Inoue Kobayashi, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, I extend my warmest welcome to your return!At the same time, thank you for your trust in our Eighth Route Army. From now on, you are both our brother and our international friend. We will take good care of you! Liu Bocheng stated on the spot that he would do everything possible to send Inoue Kobayashi back to Japan.Liu Bocheng reassured Inoue Kobayashi that Comrades Zhou Enlai and Guo Moruo had both studied in Japan, and it would be no problem to find some connections to send him back to China.After a few glasses of wine, Inoue Kobayashi spoke surprisingly. He bowed to Liu Bocheng first and said he had a request.Liu Bocheng laughed and said, Mr. Inoue, if you have something to say, just say it.Didn't I say that you are already our brother plus comrade! Then Inoue Kobayashi said that he wanted to join the Eighth Route Army.He also said that he did not do this on a whim, and he made up his mind before he came back this time.Inoue Kobayashi said that he has been in China for three years and knows what the war is all about.He wants to use actions to prove that the war launched by Japan is wrong, and he wants to fight side by side with the righteous Eighth Route Army, and strive to end the war as soon as possible! As soon as Inoue Kobayashi finished speaking, there was thunderous applause! On January 2, 1939, it was very cold in Wangjiayu Village, Wuxiang County, Shanxi Province.However, at the meeting held by the Eighth Route Army’s frontline headquarters, there was unprecedented enthusiasm—three Japanese prisoners, Inoue Kobayashi, Ito Tetsuo, and Yamamoto Hatomitsu, strode onto the stage and announced on the spot that they would join the Eighth Route Army and stand with the Chinese people , Join hands with the Eighth Route Army to fight until the end of this evil war! Inoue Kobayashi and others became the first batch of Japanese anti-war soldiers. Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping all visited Inoue Kobayashi. On November 7 of the same year, with the three of them as the core, the founding meeting of the "North China Japanese Soldiers Awakening Alliance" was held at the Eighth Route Army Field Headquarters in Matian Township, Liao County (later renamed Zuoquan County), Shanxi Province. This was the first Japanese anti-war organize. Since then, Japanese anti-war organizations have been successively established in China, covering the anti-Japanese battlefields behind enemy lines.As of August 1945, there were nearly 2,000 members.
