The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2026 Searching Alone?

"Grandma, is there someone coming again?" A young boy gently lifted the door curtain of the inner room, looked inside and asked.

"Well, the people who came up from our army were sent by your second uncle." The old lady who was squatting at the stove and burning fire replied.

"Do you have a gun?" the boy asked in a muffled voice.

The young boy is definitely the most interested in guns.

"What kind of gun does a girl have? Come here and help me!" the old lady scolded.

The boy then looked at the woman sitting in the room and saw a bundle on the table, but he couldn't imagine that a woman would have a gun.

So he responded with regret and lowered the door curtain.

The woman sitting in the room was Leng Xiaozhi. Of course she heard the boy's voice, but she did not respond.

Now, three days have passed since she learned about Shang Zhen's disappearance, and she has to think about her own affairs.

This family was very close to Wujiaopo. It was the home of the sister of a guerrilla fighter who had once served under her. She was staying here temporarily.

This time, Leng Xiaozhi and Shang Zhen were separated for not very long, but who would have thought that when she came back, she would get the news that Shang Zhen was missing.

She sat at the table with her chin on her hand, staring at the sunlight outside the window, and all the memories of her time with her man Shang Zhen came to her mind.
Since I was just a female student, Shang Zhen and others escorted me all the way from outside the Great Wall to inside the Great Wall, and I thought of how they knew each other.

From the time when I fell in love with Shang Zhen unknowingly, to the time when I took the initiative to give him the first kiss on his face on that cold winter night, to the time when the two of us knew what a man and a woman were when we were together for the first time, to the time when we met again in Shandong and met many times in the past two years, Shang Zhen always shamelessly tortured me.

Leng Xiaozhi's mood naturally fluctuated with her memories, and her face turned shy and rosy at times, until she finally thought of her man's disappearance on the battlefield, and finally regained her sanity and calm.

Now Leng Xiaozhi himself had to admit that he was actually greatly influenced by Shang Zhen.

For example, in the situation I am facing now, recalling the past is of no help to the present, and there are not many clues to follow to speculate on the future. So I can only grasp the present. According to what Shang Zhen said as Da Lao Ben, this is called seizing the moment!

Now I must follow the method Shang Zhen taught me, distance myself from the entire incident and analyze this matter as a third party.

Actually, her current work is very busy, and the organization has also assigned her very heavy tasks.

She is now a teacher at the Lunan Special District Military and Political Cadre Training School, explaining the local situation in Shandong to the military and political cadres who have just been transferred to Shandong.

Now that the entire Chinese Communist Party has played an important role in Shandong's anti-Japanese forces, there is a great demand for various military and political cadres.

But now she had to admit that what her man Shang Zhen said was actually right, that is, it doesn't matter who you leave in this world.

Even if I don't do those jobs now, there will still be people to take over. I am not an indispensable person.

What's more, Xu Lang's coming back alone made her suspicious.

There is no witness or material evidence in what Xu Lang said, so it is impossible for me to just listen to Xu Lang's one-sided story.

However, he could not tell his superiors about the doubts in his mind, because without any evidence, a person would be responsible for making a certain evaluation of his comrades!

If it is peacetime, a person's subjective and speculative evaluation of his comrades will determine his promotion. But it is not the same in wartime. In wartime, if a person gives a distrustful evaluation of his colleagues, it may determine his life or death!

In the end, she decided to seek the truth on her own and look for Shang Zhen's whereabouts personally, so she went to Wujiaopo in person.

Before returning, she had already expressed her thoughts to her direct superior, Secretary He.

Secretary He did not object to her coming here to find the truth, but he reminded her that our anti-Japanese forces in Wujiaopo and Baotagou areas were relatively weak, so she must pay attention to her own safety.

His reply to Secretary He was, I am not just a teacher, I have also led guerrillas.

What's more, Wujiaopo and Baotagou are located in the inland of Shandong. Unless the Japanese and puppet forces make a large-scale move, if they want to infiltrate, even if there is only one big wolfhound of the Japanese devils, we should receive an alarm.

Secretary He agreed with Leng Xiaozhi's statement, but still gave him some suggestions, and finally Leng Xiaozhi agreed to the trip.

"Auntie, let me help you light the fire." Leng Xiaozhi reorganized his thoughts and walked out of the inner room.

"How can that be? You're a guest from far away." The old lady responded hurriedly, while the boy who was helping the old lady to light the fire looked at Leng Xiaozhi curiously.

This was the usual Shandong girl's attire, but because she had taken off her headscarf, her ear-length hair was exposed.

Country people have limited language expression and don't know how to describe it, but both the old lady and the boy can feel that Leng Xiaozhi has a different energy compared to their country women.

"There are no guests here, ma'am. We are from the Eighth Route Army, and we are one family.

Just like your Dahu is in our army, isn't he also your brother? Our Eighth Route Army is your army!" Leng Xiaozhi replied appropriately, and started to roll up his sleeves and shovel firewood to the stove.

Leng Xiaozhi herself was a political worker and had worked in the guerrillas for a long time. She was very good at communicating with ordinary people. She used simple and concise words to narrow the distance between her and the grandparents and grandchildren, and also pointed out the nature of the Eighth Route Army in a concise and concise manner.

"Oh, girl, your hands look so tender, you can't do this kind of rough work!" The old lady hurriedly pushed Leng Xiaozhi away again.

But how could Leng boy not work?

This time, she took the initiative to pick up the old lady's swill bucket and went outside to pour out the swill, while asking: "Auntie, do you have chickens or ducks at home? It would be a waste if we just dump it out!"

With just such a simple act, Leng Xiaozhi soon got along happily with the old lady and her grandson, the little boy.

Look, this is the difference between the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and other armies!
Just by using simple language and behavior that are exactly the same as those of ordinary people, they can make ordinary people classify them as their own people in their hearts. When the Eighth Route Army is in trouble, the ordinary people will really step forward!
Similarly, when the people need the army, the Eighth Route Army will really step up!

Theoretically speaking, we cannot say that military struggle is not important. Simply using military struggle would never be enough to make the Chinese people persist in such a 14-year-long war of resistance against Japan!

Some people may scoff at this.

But imagine, if it was such an ordinary old lady who took the initiative to report to the Chinese army when she discovered that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to attack here, then how would the battle turn out?

On the contrary, if there was no such information, would the consequences of being directly attacked by the enemy be the same as the former?

What is People's War? This is it!
The fight against Japan certainly requires violent storms, but sometimes it requires gentle breezes and drizzles!
And because of this, not long after Leng Xiaozhi finished his meal at this family's house, someone sent a message saying that a group of people of unknown origin were found in the front village! They were asking about the news of a female cadre of the Eighth Route Army!
