Preamble:
"This date is good, take it away!"
One day in 1938, the Japanese invaders surrounded Dachang Village, Shandong, and at that time, there were several Eighth Route Army members in the house of a lady in the village.
Seeing that the Japanese invaders immediately searched here, the eldest lady hid him in the pile of dates in the yard, although he did not find the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese invaders noticed the pile of dates, and a Japanese prisoner wanted to pull this pile of dates away.
In the end, did the Eighth Route Army successfully escape, and what kind of legendary story does this lady have?
The military and the people are of one mind
At the end of 1938, the Japanese invaders occupied Leling County, Shandong Province for a period of time, and since the Japanese invaders' iron cavalry stepped into the local people's lives, they fell into fire and water.
What is even more hateful is that in order to build a turret, the Japanese invaders cut down all the tens of thousands of acres of jujube forests on which the people of Leling County depended, which hurt the interests of the people to a great extent.
It was under these circumstances that in September of the same year, Xiao Hua led a group of troops of the Eighth Route Army to Leling, and according to the instructions, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were to establish an anti-Japanese revolutionary base here, expand their armed forces, and carry out guerrilla warfare against the Japanese invaders.
In order to smoothly establish the base area, Xiao Hua repeatedly disguised himself and wandered around Leling County to secretly propagate revolutionary ideas and the spirit of the Eighth Route Army.
Thanks to the efforts of Xiao Hua and others, many people have emerged in Leling County who have actively cooperated with the work of the Eighth Route Army, and the strength of the army has also been expanded.
"Come in and get warm, I'll go get you something to eat." Every time the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army came to the village, the eldest lady would always warmly invite the soldiers to her house to rest, in her eyes, these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were no different from her own children.
They are all about twenty years old, and even Xiao Hua, who has now become a commander, is only about the same size as her second son Chang Shufen, looking at the immature faces because of the long-term battle, the faces are mature and stable that do not match their age, Chang Auntie always can't help but think: "These little soldiers are still children." ”
Although their family was not wealthy, they would always leave the best things in their homes to these soldiers, and with the advancement of revolutionary ideas, several children of Chang Da Niang's family all participated in the anti-Japanese organization, and over time, Chang Da Niang's house became a meeting place for the cadres of the Eighth Route Army.
"Meet under the old locust tree. "Every time after the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese invaders, if there were scattered and lone soldiers, they would come to "under the old locust tree" to hide according to the unwritten agreement.
At this time, Chang Da Niang once again acted as a protective umbrella for the soldiers, allowing the wounded soldiers to recuperate in her home, providing shelter for the soldiers who were being captured by the Japanese invaders, and providing food for the exhausted soldiers after the battle...
But in fact, there is not a single locust tree in the entire Dachang Village, and this old locust tree refers to Chang Da Niang, who provides shelter for them. One day in 1938, Xiao Hua and several cadres of the Eighth Route Army quietly came to Chang Da Niang's house in batches for a meeting.
It's too late to evacuate, and you can deal with it with wit
She sat at the gate as usual to take the soles of her shoes, and while taking the soles of her shoes, she paid attention to the situation in the village, "What about the soles of the shoes?" The sudden greeting made Aunt Chang feel bad, the person who came was the seller Ma Er, Aunt Chang greeted him with a smile, and coaxed people away with a few words of greeting.
As soon as she was sure that Maji was leaving, she knocked on the door of the house, and the soldiers who were originally discussing in the house heard the code and quickly packed up their papers and prepared to leave from different corners of the village.
Xiao Hua, as the commander, orderly commanded several cadres to evacuate, explain the matter, after everyone left, he quickly erased the traces left by everyone in the house, when he was ready to evacuate when all his work was completed, the Japanese army had entered the village.
Why did the Japanese invaders come so quickly, and how did Aunt Chang know that the Japanese invaders would come, and what was going on?
It turns out that the identity of this Ma Er is not as simple as a seller, he is the lackey of the Japanese Invaders, and after the Japanese invaders broke into Dachang Village, this greedy and fearful of death, and did not do his job as a big traitor for the sake of glory and wealth.
This time, Ma Er's arrival made Aunt Chang secretly say that it was not good, "Ma Er must have guessed something." Sure enough, according to Aunt Chang's guess, Ma Er came to check the virtual reality.
I can already hear the voice of the Japanese invaders, Xiao Hua didn't want to trouble Aunt Chang and was about to leave towards the position in the backyard, but how could it be too late to run now, Aunt Chang grabbed Xiao Hua and pointed to the jujube piled up in the yard, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the devil catch you." ”
According to Aunt Chang's instructions, Xiao Hua hid in the pile of dates, and Aunt Chang spread a lot of dates on him after hiding to ensure that the Japanese would not see anything. At this time, Ma Er had already led people to the courtyard of Aunt Chang, and Aunt Chang pretended to have just come out of the house and didn't know about the arrival of the Japanese Kou.
"Taijun, what's wrong?" she asked with a scared look, but she was also really scared in her heart, she was afraid that the Japanese would find Xiao Hua, and she was afraid that the soldiers who were good for the people would be sacrificed in the hands of the devils.
"I heard that there are a few Eighth Route Army hiding here with you, have you seen them?" Ma Er looked confident, he had been paying attention to the Chang family for a while, and there were a few strangers who often came and went to her house recently, and there must be eight roads hidden here.
Ma Er, who wanted to make meritorious contributions, didn't wait for what Aunt Chang was saying, and directly rushed into the house with Rikou to search, "I said Taijun, how can I have the courage to go to hide the Eighth Road." As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears, looking frightened.
Ma Er did not give up and searched all the corners of the house, but he didn't see the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese invaders also lost their patience at this time, and they were about to leave with a scolding. Suddenly, the Japanese officer saw the big red dates spread in the yard and was attracted to the pile of dates.
At that time, Xiao Hua, who was hiding in the jujube pile, didn't dare to breathe, and Aunt Chang even raised her throat in her heart, only to see that this Japanese prisoner picked up a red jujube and stuffed it into his mouth, with a look of relish. Seeing this, Ma Er immediately shouted at Aunt Chang: "Don't you see that Taijun likes to eat your red dates, pull all the red dates away." ”
Seeing Ma Er's sensible performance, the anger in his heart that he ran away in vain dissipated a lot, and several Japanese soldiers were about to pull these red dates, and Aunt Chang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but the surface was not a landscape.
Just when Aunt Chang didn't know what to do, she glanced at Chang Shufen, who was probing her second son at the gate of the courtyard, and after the two looked at each other, Aunt Chang had a countermeasure.
Mother of the Revolution
She quickly stepped forward and pretended to be reluctant, and shouted: "Taijun, this can't be done, can't be done." As soon as she finished saying this, there was a strange noise in the position of her firewood room, as if something had been overturned, she walked quickly to the firewood room and shouted: "There is a thief, catch the thief quickly." ”
This sentence successfully attracted all the Japanese invaders, and when the Japanese invaders rushed over, they saw a figure fleeing towards the back mountain quickly, they thought that this figure was the Eighth Route Army, and Ma Er, who was eager for meritorious service, said to the Japanese invaders without seeing it clearly: "Taijun, it must be Xiao Hua who escaped." ”
The group chased in the direction where the figure fled, and when she saw the Japanese invaders leaving, Aunt Chang immediately returned to the yard and pulled Xiao Hua out of the jujube pile, "Auntie, what should Shufen do." "How did Xiao Hua know where Chang Shufen was when he was hiding in the jujube pile, and why did he ask that?
It turned out that these two sentences of "can't help it" were the code words of Chang Auntie and her second son, and after she shouted twice, she told Chang Shufen that she was ready and ready to act.
The sound just now was deliberately made by Chang Shufen, and the figure was naturally Chang Shufen, "Don't worry about him, he is very familiar with the back mountain, and it is impossible for the devil to catch him." In this way, with the cooperation of Aunt Chang and Chang Shufen, Xiao Hua was able to escape smoothly.
After that, in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers, Chang Da Niang decided to dig a tunnel in her house, so that if there was another accident, the soldiers could escape from the tunnel, and they could also hold a meeting directly in the tunnel.
When her idea was affirmed by Xiao Hua, Aunt Chang and her husband began to work, in order not to attract attention, the couple always secretly dug a pit in the middle of the night, and pulled the extra soil to the back mountain while everyone was asleep.
Xiao Hua also thought about sending soldiers to help Chang Da Niang and the two dig tunnels together, but Chang Da Niang felt sorry for this group of children, and if she had to deal with the enemy during the day and work at night, she would definitely not have a good rest, so she refused to let the soldiers help.
"It's okay, I'm tough old bones, and you won't have to worry about it anymore when the tunnel is dug. In this way, the husband and wife dug a tunnel more than 60 meters long, and there was a big hole in the tunnel for the soldiers to hold meetings, and a small hole for office.
Aunt Chang's hands were blistered one by one, but she never shouted bitterness or tiredness, Xiao Hua looked at the tunnel in front of him and said, "Aunt Chang, you are really our life-saving benefactor." ”
In those years, Chang Da Niang protected batch after batch of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and when the Japanese tortured her, she also gritted her teeth and closed her mouth, not mentioning the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army.
"In my family, there has never been a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who has been found by devils. This has become the proudest and proudest thing of Chang Da Niang, and the deeds of Chang Da Niang in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War were also known by Chairman Mao, and even Chairman Mao praised her as "great love for the country, revolutionary mother".
In 1970, at the age of 79, Chang Da Niang made her only request to the party organization, "I hope to be able to join the Communist Party." In October of the same year, Chang Da Niang was approved to join the Communist Party of China, "I have also become a member of the Communist Party! ”
Chang Da Niang is a great mother, a revolutionary mother, those soldiers who have been helped by her will always visit her, to visit the mother who gave them a second life, but unfortunately the years are ruthless in 1974 Chang Da Niang passed away, and her life stopped forever at the age of 83.
Born ordinary, born great, Aunt Chang used her ordinary, ordinary hands to shelter the soldiers from the wind and rain, and escort the fruits of the victory of the revolution.
