Chapter 288 To understand the meaning of the word comrade-in-arms
Although Yang Zhen's tone was calm, his words made the two acting political commissars sweat in cold sweat. Yang Zhen's estimate was correct. The cadres in the army, especially those at the grassroots level who were from the labor force, had no regard for these puppet Manchukuo soldiers.
The soldiers are very discriminatory and even look down upon. [.Com text] The reason why the conflicts have accumulated to this day has a lot to do with those grassroots cadres.
Looking at the two acting political commissars who were speechless by what he said, Yang Zhen, who understood the truth of the matter and was really right by what he said, shook his head and did not continue, but said: "You go and kill the two who started the attack.
Find people for me and I will talk to them. Remember, you are looking for them, not arresting them."
When the two acting political commissars heard Yang Zhen's words, they hurriedly withdrew as if they were amnesty. In a short time, their noses were bruised and their faces were as swollen as pig heads. Their military uniforms were torn into tatters, and the cotton inside was exposed.
The two soldiers who arrived were sent to Du Kaishan's headquarters.
Seeing the embarrassed two people, Yang Zhen smiled slightly, pointed to the two simple stools in front of him and said: "Don't be nervous, all sit down. Don't think of me as the leader today, just think of me as your brother."
.Let’s talk relaxedly together, okay?”
Although the political commissar didn't tell him who wanted to see him, he saw that the usually arrogant division chiefs stood aside and did not dare to say a word. They knew that the person coming must be a high-ranking official. The two of them were very reserved. Although Yang Zhen behaved very kindly.
, but in front of this high official, the two of them still looked very nervous. They never dared to move on the stool under their buttocks.
Seeing that the two people were still afraid to sit down, Yang Zhen stood up and pulled his stool to the two people. He forced the two hesitant people to the stool, and then he sat down with his butt.
He said in front of the person: "Come and tell me, what are your names and where are you from? How old are you? Is anyone else in the family educated? How did you become a soldier?"
The recruit on the left was very nervous and did not dare to answer Yang Zhen's question for a long time. However, the recruit on the right seemed much more straightforward when he heard Yang Zhen's question. He stood up and stood at attention and said: "Sir, my name is Yang Jicai.
I am eighteen years old this year and I am from Chengguan, Kaiyuan County, Fengtian Province. I just graduated from the Puppet Manchukuo High School last year and was drafted into the national army this year."
"My family originally had a total of eight people, but now there are only five left. My eldest brother Yang Jixin used to study in high school in Shenyang, just in time for the September 18th Incident. He was unwilling to be a subjugated slave, so he entered the country and became an exiled student. Now he is
I don’t know whether he is alive or dead. My second brother Yang Jili joined the Liaoning People’s Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force. I heard that he and General Miao Kexiu were captured in Fengcheng and were killed by the Japanese together.”
"Now there are only five people left in the family: me, a younger brother, a younger sister, and my father and mother. This time Manchukuo recruited national soldiers, I was not included in the draft, but the Japanese director of the county police station said that there were rebels in my family.
Manchukuo has a tradition of resisting Japan. You must become a national soldier to show your loyalty to Manchukuo. If you don't go, you will be a thought criminal and have a tendency to oppose Manchu and resist Japan. I was forced to become a national soldier. I can't watch my old father being arrested.
Gendarmerie, right? How many people who entered there could come out alive?"
"It was wrong for me to take action today, but they can say whatever they say, but I really can't accept it when they say ours is a dog. We are not willing to wear that yellow skin if we can help it. Who doesn't know that it is shameful to be a traitor? Is there any way?
What can we do? Our family is poor and we have to tighten our belts to save money for school. Where can we have the money to bribe the military recruiter?"
"It's hard and tiring for them to be laborers. But how good are we? They live a life that is worse than pigs and dogs, but our life is easier? During the training of recruits, if a movement cannot be done correctly, a Japanese instructor will
I'll slap you if you have a big mouth. I won't stop until your nose bleeds."
"I'm pretty good at it. I understand Japanese, my comprehension skills are pretty good, and I'm a quick learner. But just like that, I often get beaten for no apparent reason. Sometimes the Japanese instructors are in a bad mood and ask us to slap each other in the face.
Don't stop until it's swollen. It's also called Xie He Mou."
"As for those who don't understand Japanese, they are even more unlucky. Being beaten during training is a common occurrence. Some people are often beaten unconscious. The Japanese instructors beat them, and their own superiors also beat them. After the beating, they were punished by not being able to eat. When do you do something right?
When will I let you go back to rest? When you sleep at night, you and the Japanese instructors share a bed. After serving the man, you have to serve the dog. How did we survive? Do they know?"
When this man talked about his family background, Yang Zhen's heart suddenly moved. He had heard Xiao Huzi say before that when he was in the Eighth Route Army, he once talked to him in detail about himself when he was chatting with him.
I have talked about my current hometown in Northeast China, which is in Chengguan, Kaiyuan County, Fengtian Province. The name Yang Zhen was changed after he participated in the revolution, and his original name was also Yang Jixin.
At that time, I personally told him that I had three younger brothers in my hometown and a younger sister who was about the same age as him. If he died in the Anti-Japanese War, let him go back to his hometown to take care of his parents for him when the revolution was victorious.
.I even joked at the time that if he didn’t marry a wife by then, I would marry my sister to him.
Xiao Huzi asked himself jokingly two days ago when he was in a good mood. The troops have now liberated the entire Sanjiang Province of Manchuria. If they continue to develop at this rate in the future, they will not reach Fengtian Province one day.
It's not far.
By that time, you will really have to fight back to your hometown. If the day comes to fight back to Fengtian, then don't forget the promise you made when you were in Guannei, and promise your sister to him as his wife.
Could this man be his younger brother in this life? The name is right, the population of the family is not bad, and the place of birth is also correct. Yang Zhen rubbed his face and looked carefully at this recruit who was a soldier of the Puppet Manchukuo. Don't
He said, the eyebrows and eyes are really similar to his own.
Seeing that the senior officer in front of him was a little distracted after hearing what he said, Yang Jicai closed his mouth and did not dare to say anything more. He just stood there with a straight Japanese military posture.
Yang Zhen's absence didn't last long before he woke up. Looking at Yang Jicai standing upright in front of him, Yang Zhen waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said to another person: "Don't be formal, I told you that today I will
Your brother, tell me everything that’s on your mind. He’s already said it, wouldn’t it be a big loss for you not to say it?”
After hearing what Yang Zhen said, this recruit who was originally very cautious also stood up. However, as he stood up, he could see the difference. Yang Jicai stood upright, which showed that he had received strict training. When he stood up,
The body is not as straight as Yang Jicai. Although it is not twisted, it cannot be said to be regular.
After standing up, he looked at Yang Zhen, then at Yang Jicai beside him, and said cautiously: "Sir, my name is Liu Heiwa, I am nineteen years old, and I am from Tianjin. There is no one in my family. My father is gone."
It's early, and we are the only two in the family. I originally had an older brother, but he followed him when the 29th Army withdrew southward in the year of the July 7th Incident, so I and my mother were the only ones left at home."
"Originally, I was working as a laborer on the dock carrying big bags. It was a bit hard, but I still had something to eat. In the spring of this year, when everyone and I were waiting for work at the dock, the little devil didn't know why.
, suddenly surrounded the Tianjin Port Terminal and arrested all the workers inside."
"After they were arrested, they didn't ask any questions. After three days of starvation, they were put on a train and shipped directly to Fujin to work as laborers. No one in my family knew about it when they came, and I don't know how I am doing. We are here.
, I was whipped in the morning before dawn, and I couldn’t go back to sleep for a while until midnight. I had two meals of acorn flour porridge a day, and by the time I ate a pack of cigarettes, I was so hungry that my back was pressed.”
"They didn't even give me any clothes. I was wearing the same clothes I had on when I came here. When they were worn out, I had to find a cement bag to put over my body. It gets cold early in Beijing, and it starts to get frosty at night in October. I don't have any clothes.
Wearing only cement bags, it was too cold to sleep at night. If someone was sick, they would not be treated. If the person was still angry, he would be carried to a ravine and thrown away, leaving him to be mauled by wild beasts."
"Of the more than 300 of us workers who were captured, by the time we were rescued by the troops, there were only more than 100 people left. If we wait through this winter, I'm afraid not even these 100 people will be left. Sir, we
It’s true that we hate the little devils, but we hate the second devils who are working for the tiger even more.”
"The pickaxes who led us were all genuine Chinese, and they were even crueler to us than the little devils. If we worked a little slower, they would knock off the pickaxe and the belt if they hit us. Sometimes the devils would give us some wages, and they would
We were greedy by them. They also deducted our rations severely. There was not enough to eat in the first place, but they were greedy and took away half of it, and the rest was not even enough to make the bottom."
"Those of us who are laborers, almost none of us has not been tortured by traitors. Our fortification work in Fujin was not very good, and most of the supervisors were Japanese and Koreans. Those who worked for the Japanese garrison in Jiamusi
The brothers of laborers suffered more from traitors. Sometimes these idiots are more hateful than the little devils. When I was in Tianjin Wei, I often heard people say that they are not afraid of the little devils, but they are afraid of the Japanese devils."
"I scolded them today for being wrong, but they shouldn't say that we are stupid, even a donkey is smarter than us. We have only been soldiers for less than a month, can we compare with them? Can I compare with them?
Although we are uneducated, we still know that we need to eat this meal in one bite."
After listening to what the two people said, Yang Zhen did not answer them, but smiled and asked: "How about it? The training task is heavy now, can you eat it? Is the food enough? Are the clothes on your body warm? I will not sleep at night.
Is it cold inside? The winter in northern Manchuria is not comparable to Fengtian in southern Manchuria and Tianjin in Guanhai."
After Yang Zhen's words fell, the two of them were obviously surprised. Especially Yang Jicai, who was used to the stick-style and raise-the-hand training method in the Puppet Manchukuo army, was even more shocked. After a while, he stood up and said: "Report to the commander, rice
It’s enough to eat. During training, the superiors never punished people corporally. Although the training intensity was a bit more intense, it was much better than when I was in the Puppet Manchukuo army.”
"In the evening, the superiors at all levels also asked people to heat up the fire cages, and boiled the foot washing water early. They also checked the bunks from time to time. If there were quilts, they helped to cover the quilts. All levels
As long as the commander is not on the training ground, he is usually very concerned about our lives. There must be a meal of meat a day, although it is not much, each person can only get a few pieces, but it is good that it is meaty."
Yang Zhen looked at the young man in front of him who was probably his brother. He waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and said, "You must remember, don't call your superiors. You can address your superiors by their job titles. For those of us here,
In the army, officers and soldiers are equal. Apart from their different positions, there is no difference. We are all brothers, brothers who live and die together."
"No matter how different your backgrounds were before, you are all on the same battlefield now. Now you all have a common ideal, which is to fight the Japanese and save China. Why do you, including me, do this? Because we all
No matter you or I, we are all called Chinese."
"We are fighting under the same flag now. We are comrades-in-arms, brothers, brothers who live and die together who can take bullets for you on the battlefield. When you get to the battlefield, you will be divided into one origin and another. But have you ever thought about it?
, the Japanese bullets will recognize you because of your different origins? Just because your origins can’t hurt you? "
"Let me tell you a true story. One of our soldiers was a laborer. But the squad leader who saved his life on the battlefield was a soldier of the Puppet Manchu Army who joined the army after being captured. But this Puppet Manchu Army soldier
He was detained at the Fengman Hydropower Station, and the soldier with a labor background even received the butt of his gun at the Fengman Hydropower Station."
"When they arrived in the army, they were just like you now. They disliked each other. Although they didn't fight openly, they didn't fight against each other in private. The soldier who was a soldier of the puppet Manchukuo army had not been in the army for a long time because of his excellent military quality.
He became the squad leader. But the soldier who had hit the butt of his rifle at the Jaap's construction site was assigned to his squad."
"Isn't the gap between these two people bigger than you are now? But this squad leader who came from the Puppet Manchukuo Army was shot in the chest by a Japanese machine gun in order to save his comrades during the attack on the outside of the Qunce Mountain Defense Battle.
He died. And that man, who was a laborer, ran for more than 20 miles in one breath, carrying his squad leader, whom he considered his enemy not long ago, on his back, and sent his squad leader to the ambulance station."
"It cannot be said that there is no grudge between them, but on the battlefield, you are all comrades-in-arms, comrades who can sacrifice their lives for each other. Liu Heiwa, if your comrade-in-arms beside you is injured on the battlefield, you are not a comrade-in-arms because of him.
He was a soldier of the Puppet Manchukuo country, so you refused to save him and left him alone?"
"Similarly, if you are injured, wouldn't you need help because the comrades around you are from puppet Manchukuo soldiers? Can you guarantee that the comrades around you are all workers from the same background as you?
?Yang Jicai, the same goes for you."
"We come from all over the world, but now we have come together under the same flag for a common ideal, that is, we are comrades-in-arms and brothers. Why should we still be so clear-cut? You should help each other instead of ignoring or even laughing at each other.
.Yang Jicai, you soldiers who came from the puppet Manchukuo army have completed basic military training, why can't you help your comrades more during the training?"
"Who can walk in a queue or shoot a gun when they are born? When you first get into military training, are you any different from them? Isn't this goose step also learned step by step? Aren't you also a little familiar with firearms?
We should help each other rather than ridicule each other."
"You must understand the true meaning of the two words comrade-in-arms. Although these two words are simple, they are not something that one person can afford. Perhaps you will not truly understand the meaning of these two words until you go to the battlefield one day.
.I just hope it’s not too late when you understand the meaning of these two words.”
