Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

When the first autumn breeze gently blows through the mountains and forests of Northeast China, the leaves begin to change color quietly, from emerald green to golden yellow, from orange to deep red, as if nature has overturned the palette and dyed the entire mountain forest into a variety of colors.

Bayan County, Yitai Mountain,

In the woods of the mountains,

Dozens of Anti-Japanese Allied Forces soldiers were lying in a mess.

Many people are exhausted and sleeping.

A thin soldier resisted his sleepiness and quietly walked around the area. Suddenly, he saw a fruit tree full of red wild hawthorns!

The soldier pushed his glasses up on his nose with his hand, and a look of great surprise appeared on his face. His name was Lin Jianzhi, and he was a young talent from the Second Battalion of the Sixth Detachment of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces!

Unfortunately, the hawthorn tree was on a hillside that was extremely steep and difficult to climb.

Lin Jianzhi walked around the hillside for a long time and finally found a place where he could barely climb, and began to climb towards the hawthorn tree!

He used his hands and feet and almost slipped down several times, but in the end, he climbed up the hillside with great perseverance and finally picked a big bag of fruit!

When coming down, Lin Jianzhi accidentally fell to the ground. He hugged the package tightly in his arms and slid directly down the hillside!

He didn't care about the pain at all, and ran to a sleeping female soldier in two steps.

Lin Jianzhi did not wake her up, but looked at her with loving eyes and waited quietly by the side.

A moment later, with a shout from the captain,

"let's go!"

The female warrior finally opened her beautiful eyes, and the first thing that came into view was a handful of red hawthorn fruits!

The female warrior cried out in surprise, her eyes narrowed into crescents. This was her favorite food.

"Brother Jianzhi, where did you get this?"

Lin Jianzhi smiled, a hint of pride showing on his slightly pale face.

“Xiao Wei, I just saw a hillside over there, and I picked it on the hillside!”

This female soldier was also his lover, Feng Wei. They were both students of the Electrical Engineering Department of the National Harbin Higher Industrial School and were classmates.

Feng Wei is thin and small, not even as tall as Lin Jianzhi’s shoulders. Her voice is also tender, just like a little girl of seven or eight years old. In fact, she is only one year younger than Lin Jianzhi and is 19 this year!

The slave education promoted by the Japanese in schools not only failed to make the two men surrender, but instead aroused their strong resistance. Eventually, upon graduation, the two men refused to go to work at the Japanese-owned railway company and instead turned to join the Anti-Japanese United Army!

Feng Wei stood up with a smile on her face. She ate two hawthorn fruits. The long-lost sweet and sour taste brought her happiness and satisfaction.

She opened her lunch box, took out two cooked potatoes and eggs, handed one to Lin Jianzhi, and said softly,

"You must be hungry, eat something! One for each of us!"

Lin Jianzhi smiled, and a little warmth arose in his heart. His stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time, but it was not yet evening, so he was reluctant to eat it and put the potato in his arms!

Lin Jianzhi, who is only 20 years old this year, is often too hungry to sleep at night. The young man consumes a lot of calories every day, and he feels the happiest thing is to have a full stomach before going to bed!

Feng Wei carefully put the remaining hawthorn fruits back into her lunch box as if they were treasures. Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she was afraid of damaging these tiny fruits.

Then the two of them began to walk towards the meeting place shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand!

Lin Jianzhi, who was walking in front, had his pants torn from the buttocks to the calves, and you could even see traces of blood inside!

"Jianzhi, your legs...!" Feng Wei was heartbroken when she saw this! Her voice was trembling and tears welled up in her eyes. How painful it must be that her beloved had ended up like this just to let her eat hawthorn fruit. She felt very uneasy and guilty!

"Hey, it's nothing. I just accidentally fell down. When I come back to rest, you can help me sew it up!" Lin Jianzhi still looked as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on his face, as if the injury he had just suffered was just a trivial matter.

He patted Feng Wei on the shoulder and tried to comfort her, "Don't make it public. It will be bad if the captain finds out. It's just a minor injury. It won't affect the operation."

Now he also felt waves of pain, but he did not show it in front of his beloved woman!

Heixiazigou,

On the threshing floor, the surrounding wheat fields are golden yellow.

Like a golden carpet,

At this moment, I just had lunch!

21 soldiers stood side by side on the threshing floor.

Behind them are 21 neatly-organized war horses!

The soldiers are fully armed and in high spirits!

Kang Huaifu and Yin Xinjun stood in front of the soldiers!

Today is the day when the advance team heading north sets out. They will travel to northern Manchuria to support the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces!

Kang Huaifu was eager to lead his troops to the battle, but was stopped by Yin Xinjun.

It's a long way to the north of Manchuria.

If he doesn't go in person, it will be a problem to get supplies on the road!

In addition, the Japanese troops are still increasing their strength around the base. Yin Xinjun plans to guard the base until the heavy snow falls, and then organize an armored squad to set off together!

Fighting in winter is very difficult for both the enemy and us, and the armored squad can ensure both firepower and mobility!

However, Kang Huaifu and Hua Jin were concerned about the safety of their old unit, so the three of them negotiated and decided that Hua Jin would lead the team ahead!

Kang Huaifu said loudly,

"Comrades, our regiment is an old unit affiliated with the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Today, our comrades are still fighting hard in North Manchuria. We must support them. You will set out as the advance team. Your mission is to find out the obstacles and enemy situations on the road ahead.

Everyone, remember, if you have any difficulties, please report them immediately and we will provide support at any time! Remember?"

The soldiers of the squad answered in unison, "Remember!"

At this time, several soldiers held bowls and wine jars and poured a bowl of wine for each soldier!

"Okay, drink this bowl of farewell wine! Victory will belong to us!" Kang Huaifu picked up the bowl and drank it all!

With a clang, the bowl was smashed to pieces!

Everyone threw their bowls to the ground!

"Let's go!" Kang Huaifu shouted!

The soldiers mounted their horses and galloped away!

The advance team's route to the north this time is from Ning'an to Weihe County in the west, then to Zhuhe County, Yanshou County, across the Songhua River, and then to Mulan County in the north!

In fact, this route is the same route that Yin Xinjun and Kang Huaifu took when they went south from Mulan. Today, the activity area of ​​the three armies includes Mulan and the vast area northwest of Mulan!

The advance team headed north and specially arranged several veterans from the areas along the way who were familiar with the local customs!

This time, they did not bring chariots with them, because there were too many mountain rivers along the way, and many small roads were not suitable for vehicles, so they all rode horses!
