"Yuquan has passed three years again, and there are many emotions about the vicissitudes of the world. The Huayue Mountains often rise and stand, and the Yellow River is vast and turbulent. The immortals should have the magic of immortality, and the strong men are ashamed to draw their swords and sing. The mountains and rivers cannot bear to go, but what if the east neighbor is not destroyed?
?”
After Fan Ting finished writing this poem on rice paper, he threw his pen and cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhou, farewell!"
Shao Lizi and Deng Baoshan also said: "Mr. Zhou, farewell!"
"Three gentlemen, see you later!" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile and cupped his hands.
After personally putting Shao Lizi, Deng Baoshan and Xu Fanting into the rickshaw, Zhou Hexuan turned back home and went to the study to collect the calligraphy treasures left by the three of them.
The seven-rhythm poem continued by Fan Ting is very well written, especially the last sentence "The mountains and rivers cannot bear to go away, so what if the east neighbor is not destroyed?" Zhou Hexuan especially liked it. This poem was written by him ten years ago, and he thought about it as early as 1921.
It's about destroying Japan.
Regardless of his status as a patriotic general, Xu Fanting is actually a very talented poet. For example, his poem "Occupying the Yellow River Bridge" three years later severely satirized a group of warlords and bureaucrats: "Pigs, sheep, mules and horses."
When I go to Lanzhou, the mountains and rivers are empty and the water is dry; pedestrians on the bridge frequently slap the horses, and the boatmen on the river are good at bragging. Eight years of war have devastated the people, and the four provinces have been destroyed.
This poem compares the warlords and politicians in Lanzhou to pigs, sheep, mules and horses who only know how to eat, drink and poop. They are good at bragging and flattering horses, but they don't care about the broken mountains and rivers and the loss of people's hearts without a trace of shame.
What surprised Zhou Hexuan was that Deng Baoshan, a former apprentice in a hookah factory, actually wrote beautifully with a calligraphy brush. He was not very talented in writing and only left four words: "Give me back my mountains and rivers!"
Among the three, the one with the highest attainments in calligraphy was Shao Lizi. He was especially good at running script and regular script, with an elegant and rigorous style. He was considered a first-class calligraphy master during the Republic of China.
Zhou Hexuan carefully put away his calligraphy treasures and continued to live his ordinary life. He spent time with his wife, concubines and children at home, occasionally taught history courses at Tsinghua University and Peking University, and wrote an international review every week. In the blink of an eye, March entered.
On March 3, the 19th Route Army retreated and the Songhu War ended.
On March 6, Chang Kaishen officially announced his comeback, thus creating a situation in which Chang Kaishen is in charge of military affairs and Wang Zhaoming is in charge of political affairs. The former serves as chairman of the Central Military Commission and the latter serves as the executive director of the central government.
On March 9, the establishment ceremony of the Puppet Manchukuo was held in Changchun, with Puyi in power and Zheng Xiaoxu as prime minister.
People from all walks of life were calling for resistance against Japan, but Chang Kaishen put forward the policy of "pacifying the country before fighting foreign forces" and began to reorganize the national army in the name of "suppressing bandits." In order to consolidate military power and status, Chang Kaishen, the Kuomintang Central Committee
The Party Headquarters even issued an informal document to local governments, requiring agencies and departments at all levels to address him as "Chairman" and no longer to address him as "Commander-in-Chief" or "Chairman Chiang."
During this period, the Northern League of Leftists also came to see Zhou Hexuan several times, hoping that he could write some "progressive" literary works.
Zhou Hexuan simply closed the door and thanked guests. He did not want to get involved with the Zuo Lian anymore, and he did not want to get close to the Zuo Lian for at least the next two or three years.
Since the "September 18th Incident", the atmosphere in China's left-wing literary world has become a bit strange. Even Lu Xun, the standard-bearer of the Left Alliance, gradually felt "chilled" and "disheartened", but he was not completely disappointed yet.
Well, let’s stop here. I can’t elaborate on this aspect. To put it bluntly, it’s 404.
According to the news brought by Feng Yong, Hou Qi had led a volunteer army composed of university teachers and students to fight against the Japanese in the mountains and forests of eastern Liaoning. Since Mazhanshan surrendered to the Japanese invaders, Hou Qi had great distrust of other volunteer forces, so he did not
Follow Zhou Hexuan's advice and disperse his men to support the "friendly" logistics.
There were many civil anti-Japanese forces in Liaoning. Hou Qi had money and grenades in his hands, so he quickly absorbed a police force of more than 80 people, and then annexed more than 300 reclamation troops, with the total force quickly approaching 600 people.
They were said to be anti-Japanese volunteers, but Hou Qi's main target was still the puppet army. In nearly two months, he fought more than ten ambush battles, large and small, and the results seemed a bit disappointing, killing more than 60 puppet soldiers.
Seven people were captured and 12 firearms of various types were seized.
But this set of data is actually very impressive. Due to Hou Qi's repeated defeat of the puppet army's food collection team and his fierce grenade fire, he finally attracted the Kwantung Army's encirclement and suppression.
More than 100 Kwantung Army troops led by 5,000 puppet troops chased Hou Qi's 600-plus volunteers all over the mountains. After more than 50 people were sacrificed, Hou Qi decisively led his team to move and set up an ambush at Motian Ridge to achieve a great victory, killing and wounding the puppet troops.
There are more than 300 troops.
At that time, two full-camp puppet troops were searching for traces of the volunteers, and suddenly they saw thousands of grenades being thrown from the sky.
Although the homemade black powder grenades are very weak, the "dumpling-style" attack is still very terrifying. The morale of the puppet army was not good to begin with. The troops of the two battalions collapsed and fled in less than a minute, waiting for the Kwantung Army to advance in person.
When support came, only bloody corpses were left on the ground.
This battle made Hou Qi famous, and anti-Japanese comrades from Benxi and Liaoyang came to join him one after another. The number of troops in the army increased to more than 2,000 for a time.
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and lamented: "It's a pity, it's a pity, 16 anti-Japanese teachers and students who have left the country have sacrificed their lives. They are all high-level talents that the country urgently needs, and they should not die at the gunpoint of the Japanese and puppet troops."
Feng Yong comforted him and said: "No one will die in a war. Their sacrifice is loyalty to the country, and it will also enable more people to fight hard."
Zhou Hexuan reminded: "Hou Qi must be informed and asked to guard against betrayal by spies and subordinates. His troops have entered the Kwantung Army's sight. The Japanese will definitely use bribery methods, and the fortress is always easy to break from the inside."
The Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army was like a loose sand. They were angry with each other without talking about it. Their final destruction was often related to the betrayal of traitors.
Due to the insufficient number of the Kwantung Army, the puppet army could not be reused. Therefore, when dealing with the Volunteer Army, the Japanese often sent spies to infiltrate the Volunteer Army, and then used profits to bribe key figures, and then rebellion and internal strife broke out.
Now that Hou Qi's strength is growing rapidly, there may be a few spies among the new volunteers.
Feng Yong was also very worried about this. He said seriously: "I will send someone to remind Hou Qi and give him some military pay by the way. I hope he can get through the difficulty."
Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong had not yet realized that the Japanese Kwantung Army was gathering heavy troops and was preparing to wipe out Hou Qi's troops in one fell swoop, because the secret of "Seven Men's Back" had been leaked. The Kwantung Army headquarters was extremely frightened by this, and they looked down upon this
They grow home-made hand grenades, but once the "seven-man back" technology spreads in the Northeast, it will greatly affect the Kwantung Army's military rule.
However, before the Kwantung Army could encircle Hou Qi, the news from various places made them even more confused. The "Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association" was still very effective. They printed several copies of the "Seven People's Back" pamphlet presented by Zhou Hexuan.
Thousands of copies were distributed crazily everywhere, and almost all volunteer organizations in various places obtained the technology.
Just when the Kwantung Army was anxious, Zhou Hexuan had mixed joy and sorrow. Wanrong and Liao Yaquan were pregnant at the same time.
Zhou Hexuan gets a headache just thinking about the child in Liao Yaquan's belly. His contraceptive skills are not up to par!
