One night in 1942, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain was in full swing, and a military-civilian party was being held. Wang Manxin, a guard of Peng Dehuai sitting in the back row, was watching the play intently, when suddenly there was a shadow around him, and when he looked up, it was his tall and beautiful cousin Mei Fang.
Watching dramas in the old days
Mei Fang smiled, raised the small bag in her hand, and said, "Cousin, your clothes are washed." ”
Wang Manxin was a little embarrassed, glanced at his cousin, said yes, and let her watch the play together. From time to time, he looked at the woman next to him, somewhat overjoyed.
Wang Manxin looked at the silver ring on Mei Fang's finger from time to time, and the sweetness lingered in his heart.
King Meifang is half a year old, she is his cousin, but also his fiancée, is his mother's identification of daughter-in-law. The ring on Mei Fang's hand is the engagement gift given by her mother. He gently touched his pocket, which was bulging and contained a fragrant purse, which Mei Fang had embroidered for him, and he had been putting it on his body.
Although Wang Manxin and Mei Fang had a marriage contract, he joined the army in the early years, and the two did not see each other for several years. Now that he was Peng Dehuai's guard, it was a matter of pride, and after he followed Mr. Peng to this place, he actually saw his cousin who had not been seen for many years, which was a little bit of a happy thing.
Mei Fang's hometown was occupied by Japanese devils, and she finally found out where Wang Manxin was after a long time. Wang Manxin is her relative and her fiancé, and it is a natural thing to be good to him, help him wash his clothes and sew the quilt, bring him a few delicious salted duck eggs, chili sauce, and come to see him every three to five minutes.
Women during the War of Resistance
Before Wang Manxin joined the army, his cousin had never been so kind to him. Perhaps after "meeting relatives in other places", the distance between them will be closer and closer. Cousin Mei Fang is not only a kind and kind person, but also very motivated, she is also the vice president of the village women's rescue association, she is also very enthusiastic about other soldiers, often send military shoes to everyone, help everyone wash and repair, see people smile and hehe, very likable.
Mei Fang often gently told Wang Manxin that since he joined the army, she had been thinking about him every day, and she would also join the army, and wherever he went, she would follow him.
Whenever he was with Mei Fang, Wang Manxin's heart was about to melt, forgetting the artillery fire on the battlefield, forgetting the cruelty of reality, and imagining a better future with expectations. He often thought that after he had defeated the Japanese devils, he would definitely marry Mei Fang into the door in a beautiful way.
Wang Manxin had not finished watching the play, so he and Mei Fang returned to their room, and no matter how lively it was outside, it was no better than the solitude of the two. Mei Fang stayed for a while and then left Wang Manxin.
However, Wang Manxin's beautiful imagination came to an abrupt end on this joyful night.
Soldier of the Eighth Route Army
Late at night, Wang Manxin suddenly fell ill, with a high fever that did not go away, and when the fever was so bad that he actually raised his pistol and fired a shot at his own head, he died on the spot.
After hearing the news, Yang Qiqing, the head of the headquarters security department, immediately rushed to Wang Manxin's bedroom, there was no trace of a fight in the house, clean clothes were neatly placed at the head of the bed, and the only chaos at the scene was the torn incense bag that was thrown on the ground.
Yang Qiqing was appointed in 1942 as the head of the protection of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain, and after he took office, he has been committed to the work of a pseudo-township chief and a Japanese translator, rescued many comrades who were captured by the Japanese army, and was highly recognized and praised by Luo Ruiqing, director of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army.
Peng Dehuai's guard Wang Manxin bizarrely killed himself, but it was not a trivial matter.
Wang Manxin, a guard, is also a very good guard, and his usual work performance is also very good, he struggles resolutely on the battlefield, and he also respects and loves his leader Peng Dehuai. Once, on the battlefield on the front line, suddenly a bullet flew towards Peng Dehuai, Wang Manxin reacted quickly, and a fierce spirit blocked in front of Peng Dehuai, and with a bang, Wang Manxin fell to the ground.
Peng Dehuai
Peng Dehuai was anxious, hurriedly went forward to help Wang Manxin, and asked with concern: "Where is the injury?" ”
Wang Manxin wiped his chest, there was no sticky blood, there was no wound, he was a man with a great fortune, and the bullet hit a copper ink cartridge that he had placed in his arms, which had been deeply sunken in.
Peng Dehuai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after that, he cared a lot about Wang Manxin, the guard who was desperate to save himself.
Yang Qiqing knew the position of Wang Manxin in Peng Dehuai's heart, and the strange death of this guard naturally tugged at the chief's heart.
A soldier who fights bravely and is not afraid to eat a gun will have a high fever before he raises a gun to commit suicide? It doesn't make sense. Also, what happened to the torn sachet?
Although things are strange, they are not without a trace, and the woman named Mei Fang is a breakthrough.
Yang Qiqing found the woman for interrogation, Mei Fang could not hide her sadness, and said that Wang Manxin committed suicide because he had an improper relationship with her and was discovered.
Mei Fang cried and cried, "Originally, I also wanted to die..."
Some people will ask, a normal man and woman with a marriage contract have a relationship and have been met, it is not a big deal to marry on the spot, and it is not ashamed to know their own lives with one shot, right?
Yang Qiqing
In fact, during the revolutionary war, it was not so simple for soldiers to get married.
In February 1939, Zhou Enlai first proposed the "285 Regiment" stipulation, that is, cadres who had reached the age of twenty-eight and had five years of revolutionary experience at the battalion and regimental levels could only get married after being approved by the organization. The main reason for this stipulation is that in the continuous fierce fighting, the soldiers may die at any time, and marrying and having children has become a luxury, while the battalion company cadres often charge at the forefront of the battle, and from a humanitarian point of view, the conditions and standards for the marriage of officers are stipulated.
Later, according to their own actual conditions, various localities changed the regulations of the "285th Regiment", for example, the standard of the "258th Regiment" is: the age is more than 25 years old, the party age or military age is more than 8 years, and the position is above the regimental level.
Judging from the regulations, Wang Manxin did not have the hard conditions for getting married in the army, but he had a relationship with someone, that is, violating the law and discipline, and the matter was not small.

Yang Qiqing listened, frowned, and asked Mei Fang: "Who found it?" ”
Mei Fang said, "Be, be... I don't know either. ”
Yang Qiqing asked, "Did you make that fragrant lotus bag?" ”
Mei Fang replied: "Yes, I made her a wedding souvenir." ”
"Since you two have such a good relationship, why did he tear up the incense bag?"
Mei Fang was stunned and said with tears in her eyes: "I can't figure it out..."
Yang Qiqing stared at Mei Fang silently for a moment, the other party looked down and cried, looking quite miserable, but the mystery in his heart seemed to be slowly solving. He said to Mei Fang, "Well, you go back first, and then tell me what you think." ”
Mei Fang nodded and said yes, left the barracks and returned home. After a few days had passed, no one had come to her, and her heart had gradually relaxed, so she decided to go to the town to sweep away the dark clouds that hung over her. She was very leisurely, walked into a restaurant, looked left and right, locked the target, and walked straight to a young master who was dressed in a general, and the two frequently raised a glass and talked happily. At this time, Mei Fang had a simple and shy appearance in the Eighth Route Army, escaped the posture of a rich man's wife, and put the death of her "fiancé" Wang Manxin on the line.
Suddenly, Mei Fang took out a copy of the Ancient Literature Guan Zhi and handed it to the Broad Shao. At this moment, several people rushed out and controlled the two. And these few people were none other than the guards yang qiqing sent to track Mei Fang.
That "Ancient Literature and GuanZhi" is not a simple book, but a joint code for agents of the Kuomintang Central Bureau of Unification.
It turned out that Mei Fang was a female agent!
Mei Fang is indeed the cousin of Peng Dehuai's guard Wang Manxin, once a kind and simple country girl, if the Japanese army sweeps into the village, she is still the country girl, life will not have too many ups and downs.
After the Japanese army entered the village, they arrested Mei Fang and the villagers and asked them to tell where the Eighth Route Army had gone. The village chief had flirted with Mei Fang before, but when he failed, he waited for an opportunity to take revenge, saying that she had harbored the wounded of the Eighth Route Army. As a result, Mei Fang was taken away by the Japanese army and imprisoned, and after interrogation, it was learned that Mei Fang's fiancé was the Eighth Route Army.
A small leader of Japanese secret agents saw that Mei Fang had a bit of a posture and wanted to maximize her role, so he often took her in and out of restaurants, theaters and other places, using materials to impress her and satisfy her vanity. Gradually, Mei Fang was no longer the simple and kind country girl, she was trained by the Japanese secret service organization to be obedient and became a Japanese female secret agent.
Mei Fang was sent on a mission: to find her fiancé Wang Manxin, lurk around him, and wait for an opportunity to kill the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army.
Battle Plan C
In late August 1940, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army launched a four-month Battle of the Hundred Regiments in North China, and the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow.
In February 1941, Okamura was second appointed commander of the Japanese North China Front, and he issued an order: "The Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army in North China must be completely eliminated within 4 months." Subsequently, the Japanese army repeatedly carried out "large-scale sweeps" of the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in North China, focusing on the taihang, Taiyue, and ji'nan bases where the Eighth Route Army was located, and implemented the "three lights" policy of burning, burning, and robbing the light. Our army counter-sweeped again and again, and disintegrated Okamura's plan.
Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the Japanese First Army, presented a plan to Okamura Ninji and formulated a so-called "Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region SolemnIzation Combat Plan," that is, the "C Combat Plan." He also set up two commando teams to carry out assassination and sabotage operations, called the "Special Advance Killing Squad." The task of this advance team was to break into the Eighth Route Army and capture Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Zuo Quan, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, and other senior generals; if they could not succeed, they would also disrupt the command center of the Eighth Route Army and report on the direction of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Masako Shigeo and Momoyoshi Okawa captained the two advancing teams.
Okamura Ninji
Many Japanese agents disguised as merchants, refugees, and students infiltrated the Base Areas of the Eighth Route Army, as well as members of the Okawa Advance Team who changed into the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, were rampant in the base areas and spying on the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army.
It was in this context that the woman named Mei Fang disguised herself as a refugee and stayed in the base area as Wang Manxin's "fiancée".
Mei Fang, who had long been corrupted by the Japanese army, had been lurking for some time, and she was well disguised in front of Wang Manxin and the other Eighth Route Army, and if Wang Manxin did not commit suicide with a gun, it would be difficult to suspect her head.
Before the play was finished that night, Mei Fang and Wang Manxin returned to the room. After the two of them pulled and pulled for a while, Mei Fang suddenly said, "You are a big man, waiting for him all day after Peng Dehuai's ass, what can you do?" You see that you have no money now, and your life is not up to you. If the bullet doesn't have long eyes one day and you're gone, what can I do? ”
Wang Manxin only said these words when his fiancée was worried about his own safety, and there was still a bit of beauty in his heart, comforting Mei Fang: "When the Japanese devils are beaten back to their hometown, we will have a good life." ”
Mei Fang complained again, and suddenly her eyes lit up, looked at Wang Manxin, and said, "You might as well take the opportunity to kill Peng Dehuai, go and collect a bounty, and live a good life with me." ”
Wang Manxin looked at Mei Fang stunned, unable to believe that this was what the gentle and kind fiancée had said. He suddenly realized something, gave her a slap, grabbed her hand, and said, "Go!" Let's go to the security office. ”
Mei Fang did not fight too much, let out a laugh, and said lightly: "Everyone knows our relationship." You go and report it, and I said we have a relationship, and I think they can spare you? I'll say you force me to sleep with you. ”
Wang Manxin's eyeballs enlarged and he was full of shock, he was really blind, and he didn't even know that there was a vicious wolf lurking around him. Furious, he pulled out the incense bag that he regarded as a treasure, and with his hands he pulled hard, tearing it to pieces and smashing it into her face.
"Think about it for yourself, hmm." Mei Fang sorted out her clothes and triumphantly went out of the room.
Looking at Mei Fang's distant back, Wang Manxin blamed himself for holding his head and squatting on the ground, he didn't know what to do.
Report Mei Fang, he will be bitten back, and when she frames her and says that she is also a spy, then he really jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash it. If you don't report her, it will pose a threat to Peng Zong's safety. What exactly to do?
Thinking about it, Wang Manxin raised his pistol to his head, pulled the trigger, and used his own death to prove his loyalty to Peng Zong and his determination to fight against Japan, and he would not let the plot of the Japanese agents succeed.
Wang Manxin died a strange death, Yang Qiqing stripped away the cocoon, arrested the female agent Mei Fang, and three other male agents who worked with her, and also smashed the Japanese army's conspiracy to assassinate senior generals of our army. The three male agents were Wang Xianlin, secretary of the Kuomintang district party committee, Liu Sanzhu, a large landlord in Matian Town, and Yao Sanshou, a habitual bandit; they were the lackeys of the traitor Wang Jingwei and the agents who surrendered to the Japanese Kou.
Later, Mei Fang was secretly executed, while three other male agents were executed by shooting.
Perhaps, Wang Manxin's way of dying Mingzhi was too extreme, but his loyalty to Peng Dehuai and his enthusiasm for the revolution have always been there. His death was not meaningless, he let Yang Qiqing catch a small gang of secret agents, and also made our army more vigilant to prevent the agents from sugar-coated shells.
