Part III: In the War of Liberation

In the Jinnan region

After the Spring Festival, I was sent to the Xindai County Public Security Bureau and led a class to strengthen the Xindai Public Security Team. The players were in a high mood and scrambled to go. After assembling the team before leaving, Director Zhang spoke and said that he would let me speak, and I was also very excited to say that I could not finish it, and those who left and stayed were in tears and were in love. I said, "Let's go." "Farewell to all the comrades in the department. Also on the way were Deputy Director Wang, who nominally led the team. On the first day, I crossed the railway and stayed in the western slope of Wenxi. In the evening, I chatted with him about the situation, from which he learned about the complexity of the struggle. The next day, he didn't go anymore, and I said, "You lead the team, how can you not go?" He said, "You lead the team." ”

After dinner, we set off to Wenkihara. The open wheat fields, endless, were glowing red by the rising sun in the morning, and everyone was in a happy mood. However, don't forget that there is a possibility of fighting at any time. In the afternoon, we arrived at Wenhou on the southern plain of Xinfen, the seat of the county office. The village is not small, and the public security bureau and the county party committee are in a large compound with higher ground. The main task of the public security team is to protect the county organs and the independent battalion, but it does not listen to the command of the county party committee, but has some concerns. Because of those party members who are very localist, their organizational concept is not strong. Li Sheng was the head of the public security bureau, but he was timid and afraid of enemy attacks and accidents in the independent battalion.

Soon after I arrived, I was told to work in Gudi Village, which was only a stone's throw away from the enemy, where the enemy often came out to interfere. Working with me were Li Zhengzhong and Li Peizhong, waging a struggle against the enemy, and the masses had great concerns. The enemy was only five or six miles away from Gudi Village, and it could be seen outside the east gate.

Wen Hou is very close to my home Beichi Village, about thirty miles, and I haven't been home for eight years, which is really a bit missed. Several people who delivered food one day said that they were from Beichi Village, but they didn't know each other, because they were still young when I left. I asked my parents at home, my brother was there, and I brought them a letter, I guess my brother would come to see me, I haven't seen him for several years. A few days later, my brother came to see me, and his beard was so long that he couldn't recognize it. The brother said that because he did not grow a beard, he would be pulled to be a strong man. He said that he had heard that you were here and there before, and as a result, it was all rumors. This time I was afraid that it was a rumor, and then my parents said to come and see it, and everyone in our village saw it.

In the afternoon, my brother and I went to a village opposite Gudi Village to serve as a guard, and it was getting dark in the village, listening to the sound of whirring in front of us, afraid of enemy situation, we hid in the side of the road. The brother bravely carried his basket and looked over, and it was the crowd that was ready to go geese. Stayed one night and told everything about the family for eight years and the torments they had suffered. The next day, I sent him through the ditch to safety, and he went back. The area where we are located is exactly the place of "Fenhe Beach and Wild Goose Field" in the novel book, and then we simply moved to the river beach for a few days and enjoyed the scene of geese playing on the river beach.

Captain Cheng Haihai of the public security team suggested that we go back to see our parents. But at that time, the struggle was so complicated that it was inconvenient to go back. The captain said, "Let's take the team and visit the house while we are active." "For safety, first go up to Wenxihara, go west through Xiliyang, and downhill to Kitachi. When I went to the edge of the village, I saw my brother rushing to the car to send fat, and when I entered the village, I alarmed the friends of the same year in the village, and they all came to see and quickly cooked for everyone. The village chief said, "So many people, how do you cook?" I'll go and ask everyone to deliver food. "I saw that my parents were old, my mother had bad eyes, and she had lost a lot of weight. She held my head in her hand to the left and right, and the tears were about to fall. After a while, everyone was having dinner on the street, and the captain and I were eating at home. Just about to eat, said that the village came to the team, do not understand which part. So, he hurriedly unfolded the team and asked if it was the Jishan Brigade. After that, after a few interviews, I said goodbye to my parents and villagers and left, which was really a family visit like a drama.
