Sanbao and Su Ying had never traveled such a long way. They followed the Qin River and crossed the Taihang Mountains into Shanxi. They didn't know where to find their brother and sister's troops, and they couldn't get any news about the Red Army, so they had to go all the way north.
.
Gradually, fleeing people appeared on the road, which gave them direction and some news. The Red Army had been reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and entered Shanxi, and following the flow of fleeing people, they would be able to find the battlefield. The two began to head towards the fleeing people.
north.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people fled, and it was difficult for them to find out the news. However, it also proved that the distance from the battlefield was getting closer and closer. On this day, Sanbao saw three or four people coming towards him and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
It was Su Yuan's platoon leader Chen Zhenhai and several soldiers who came. He could not figure out that the Red Army had been reorganized into a unit of the Kuomintang. His whole family had been killed by the Kuomintang in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and he would never join the Kuomintang.
He wanted to go back to Hubei, Henan, and Anhui to find the troops who stayed there. They would never mix with the Kuomintang, so he and several fellow villagers left the army while the army was advancing.
"Fellow fellows, you come from the north, do you know where the Eighth Route Army is now?" Sanbao went up to greet them and asked.
"Why do you ask?" Chen Zhenhai asked strangely.
"We are going to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese." Su Ying said immediately.
Seeing the high-spirited expressions of the two young people, Chen Zhenhai felt a little ashamed and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Sanbao saw that they were not much older than him, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart. He pulled Su Ying's hand and said: "
It seems they don’t know either. If you hadn’t seen them walking south, they would have joined the fight against the Japanese if they had encountered the Eighth Route Army.”
"We are also preparing to return to our hometown in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui to fight the Japanese." A soldier next to Chen Zhenhai replied unconvinced.
"Ha, that's weird. The devils are in the north and you go south. Who are you trying to hide?" Sanbao immediately said: "And now that the country is fighting, we are not fighting the devils there, we have to go back to our hometown. According to what you said, I will stay at home.
Just wait for the devils."
Sanbao's words shocked Chen Zhenhai's heart. Yes, the national war of resistance is now the biggest thing. And no matter what, the troops in his hometown must fight against the Japanese when he returns.
"Let's go back!" Chen Zhenhai said immediately: "Now that the country is in danger, we should really give up our previous grievances. Fighting the Japanese is what we have to do." His words made several soldiers who were reluctant to part with the army immediately agree.
"That's right." Sanbao immediately said: "Do you think you are soldiers? By the way, you just said you were going back to Hubei, Henan, and Anhui. Are you the Red Army?"
"How do you know?" Chen Zhenhai asked strangely.
"What's the point?" Sanbao replied: "My sister and her brother went to Hubei, Henan and Anhui to join the Red Army. I heard that they have now been reorganized into the Eighth Route Army."
"Yes, we are." Chen Zhenhai replied after hearing this.
"Great, I'm looking for you." Sanbao and Su Ying cheered happily. "Please take us with you. We can't get any news right now."
"Then I have to ask first, where are you from and what are your names?" Chen Zhenhai asked.
"My name is Zhou Bao, and this is Su Ying..." San Bao said immediately.
"Are you from Xiaojie Town?" Chen Zhenhai asked immediately.
"How do you know?" Sanbao asked strangely.
"Your sister's name is Zhou Lihua, and her brother is Su Yuan." Chen Zhenhai said.
"You all know." Sanbao said in surprise, then a smile appeared on his face and said, "You must know them."
"Yes, what a coincidence, we are in the same army." Chen Zhenhai replied: "One of them is our company commander, and the other is the captain of our health team."
"That's great, brother, what's your surname?" Sanbao asked immediately.
"My name is Chen Zhenhai, and I am the platoon leader of Captain Su's company." Chen Zhenhai replied.
"Then let's leave quickly. If we go late, they might start fighting with the Japanese." Sanbao said immediately.
In this way, they headed north together and finally caught up with the advancing troops.
Su Yuan, who was leading the troops forward, heard that
