In 1936, the deputy commander of the 1st Division disguised himself as a farmer and went to the Yellow River ferry to inquire about the enemy.com. On the way back, he spent the night at the home of a fellow villager, whose daughter wanted to join the army. The deputy division commander "twisted and pinched" and did not choose to take the girl back to the army, which caused the division commander to joke: "You are an old feudal." ”
In the spring of 1936, the 1st Division of the 1st Red Army was ordered to cross the Yellow River in the east and go to the anti-Japanese front to participate in the war. On the opposite bank of the Yellow River crossing, the enemy had set up a defensive line in a vain attempt to prevent the Red Army from crossing the river. Deputy Commander Yang of the Red 1st Division took the initiative to ask for orders and asked to lead his troops to reconnoiter in disguise to find out the garrison of the enemy on the other side.
Deputy Division Commander Yang changed into a cloth coat and wore a "sheep's belly" towel on his head, and led 5 scouts to set off. There is a field near the ferry port, where ordinary people are working, and 6 comrades in disguise have stepped forward. They greeted each other warmly, chatted with the people about their daily routines, and said, "I came to the village to visit relatives." ”
The fellow villagers did not suspect it, and Deputy Division Commander Yang took the lead in working in the fields and began to help the fellow villagers pull grass. The fellow villagers said one after another: "You are really warm-hearted, and you have relatives who help us work." After half a day of busyness in the fields, the scouts secretly stared at the defending enemy on the other side and found out the number of defending enemies, the layout of firepower points, and the distribution of fortifications.
At 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the scouts bid farewell to their hometown and returned to the 1st Division station. Just on the way back from Deputy Division Commander Yang and his party, a northwest wind suddenly blew up, and the wind and sand charmed the eyes, making everyone lose their direction. At dusk, the scouts found themselves lost, hungry and cold, and ready to find a village to spend the night.
After walking for another ten minutes, the light reflected in the dusky wind and sand, and a small village appeared in front of the eyes. Deputy Division Commander Yang walked into the village, found the village chief, identified himself as a Red Army, and asked to spend the night in the village. When the village chief learned that the Red Army was coming, he immediately arranged for the scouts to spend the night at their hometown.
Deputy Division Commander Yang was arranged to stay at Chen Laohan's house, and Chen Laohan and his wife welcomed Deputy Division Commander Yang through the door and said, "Comrade Red Army, you can live in my house with peace of mind, and we will go to make you food immediately." Chen Laohan's wife led Deputy Division Commander Yang into a room, let Deputy Division Commander Yang sit on the kang, and covered Deputy Division Commander Yang with a quilt.
Deputy Division Commander Yang had just sat down, only to find that there was movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a girl. The two looked at each other, deputy division commander Yang "teng" got up, and the girl also quickly stood up. Chen Laohan's wife smiled and said, "This is my family's woman, who just turned 18 this year." ”
The girl "shyly" ran out of the house door, went to the kitchen, and in a moment brought a bowl of noodles and handed it to Deputy Division Commander Yang. Deputy Division Commander Yang smelled the aroma of the noodles and thanked them one after another, saying, "Grandma and Grandma, I can just eat a nest, I can't eat your soba noodles." Mr. and Mrs. Chen Laohan only said: "The Red Army is the master of our people, let us have the fields to cultivate, and it is not right to eat bowls of noodles." ”
The girl also said: "Comrade of the Red Army, while the noodles are still hot, you should eat it quickly to warm up your body." The sincere friendship of the fellow villagers touched Deputy Division Commander Yang very much, and he ate this steaming bowl of steaming noodles with tears. The girl asked again, "Comrade of the Red Army, do you still recruit female soldiers?" I want to join the Red Army. ”
Deputy Division Commander Yang replied: "Recruit female soldiers, but you are too young..." In the early morning of the next day, Deputy Division Commander Yang led his troops to leave and returned to the 1st Division station. He reported on the situation of defending the enemy and said that he had taken good care of his fellow villagers, and Master Chen laughed. Master Chen half-jokingly said, "You, the girl wants to join the army, why don't you bring her?" You 'twist and pinch', is not a little 'old feudal'. ”
Deputy Division Commander Yang explained: "Mr. and Mrs. Chen Laohan only have one daughter, I took her away, who will take care of Mr. and Mrs. Chen Laohan?" I can't bear it. Master Chen has always been humorous, and when he heard Deputy Division Yang's explanation, he also said, "Your consideration is also right, how come I didn't think of this layer." ”
A few days later, the Red 1st Division made preparations before the battle, broke through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop, and crossed the Natural Danger of the Yellow River. Ignoring the enemy's obstruction, the 1st Red Division marched toward the Jicha area and marched to the anti-Japanese front.
