Chapter 109: King of Hell’s Flag
Suihua County, Zhang Laosan,
Zhang Laosan is the name of a village. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, three brothers with the surname Zhang went to Northeast China together, reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land here, and then this village was established.
The north end of the village,
In a house made of stone,
Three men sat around the table.
With expressions of extreme ecstasy on their faces,
One of the men, about thirty years old, wearing a black woolen coat, whispered quietly,
"This time, if Xiao Jin hadn't told me about this, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened in Mulan County!"
The other two echoed,
"What a great event, comrades! In this time of terror and despair, the good news of the resistance against the Japanese in Mulan County has given us hope for the future!"
"My two brothers, this shows that our Anti-Japanese United Army is still fighting and attacking the enemy. We have never given up!"
Another man of about the same age, with wrinkles all over his face, wearing an old grey cotton coat, holding a pipe in his hand, opened his mouth and said,
"Old Wu, now that the secretary has died, we are the only two left in the entire Suihua County Committee. Should we go to Mulan County to look for an organization?"
At this time, a young man around 20 years old was not convinced and said,
"Two brothers, how could you forget me? I am also a member of the county committee!"
This young man is called Dai Congfeng. He was a soldier of the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. During the Western Expedition, he was wounded and stayed here to recuperate. It was two years ago!
The other two, one is named Wu Qingchi, the head of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, and the other is named Zhang Qing, the head of the Agricultural Movement Department of the County Party Committee. This room is Zhang Xiaoqing’s home!
Wu Qingchi smiled and said, "Xiao Dai, the main force has fought back. Are you happy? I guess you will be able to go back soon!"
Dai Congfeng chuckled and lowered his head to wipe his worn-out 1930s-style rifle!
A stream of white smoke blew out of Zhang Qing's mouth.
"Old Wu, can you trust what Xiao Jin said?"
"Reliable! Xiao Jin is my comrade who I developed in the county for more than half a year. He and I are still relatives. He said that the Suihua police station is going crazy. The bandits and the Anti-Japanese United Army from Mulan have occupied the county and killed hundreds of devils!"
Zhang Qing showed a trace of obvious disbelief on his face.
"Hundreds? The three armies only killed more than a hundred devils here back then. Could it be that the entire Anti-Japanese United Army has come to Mulan?"
"He also said that the bandit leader was called Yan Wang, who was eight feet tall, proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and could kill a Japanese soldier with one punch!"
After saying this, Zhang Qing laughed and coughed several times.
"It's too weird, but this shows that the devil must have suffered a loss in Mulan!"
Dai Congfeng said excitedly,
"Let's go to Mulan quickly. Once we find the main force, we'll bring people to Suihua and take over the county town!"
Mulan County’s anti-Japanese resistance was like a spark that illuminated this dark land and ignited hope in the hearts of many people!
"Knock, knock, knock..." A crisp and rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere in the room.
The faces of the three people in the room suddenly became solemn, especially Dai Congfeng. He picked up the rifle beside him without hesitation and pointed the black muzzle directly towards the door.
At the same time, the other two were also staring at the dilapidated wooden door nervously, their fingers clenched tightly, ready to deal with any dangerous situations that might occur at any time.
At this moment, a rough roar came from outside the door: "Is there anyone inside? We are travelers passing by here. It's dark and the road is slippery. We can't walk anymore. We want to come in and ask for a place to stay. Is that okay?"
The shout seemed particularly loud in the silent night, as if it could penetrate the shaky wooden door and strike the heart of the person inside.
Zhang Qing waved his hand and pointed to the kitchen cellar.
Dai Congfeng led Wu Qingchi into the cellar skillfully.
Every household in Northeast China digs cellars to store food for the winter, so that they can get through the long winter safely!
Zhang Qing's cellar is outside, but the cover of the entrance is always easily frozen in winter, and it takes dozens of minutes to chisel it open, so he dug another entrance in the kitchen!
After Dai Congfeng was injured, he has been hiding in the cellar of Zhang Qing's house to recuperate!
"I'm coming!"
Seeing that the two had already hidden themselves, Zhang Qing opened the door.
There were seven people standing outside the house, five men and two women, leading horses. The young man in the lead spoke politely,
"Hey, old man, a few of us would like to stay with you for a night and leave tomorrow!" As he said this, he handed over three 10-yuan bills!
Zhang Qing showed a hint of impatience on his face.
"I can't afford it. There is only one kang in the house and my wife will be back soon!" After saying that, he was about to close the door!
A tall and thin man with a box gun came over.
"You are so stupid, look carefully, 30 yuan is enough for your whole family to eat meat for a month!"
After that, he pushed Zhang Qing aside without saying anything and walked straight in. He sat on the chair and said while panting,
"Oh, I'm so tired, old man, go get us some hot water to drink!"
Zhang Qing was so angry that he wanted to throw a bowl at him. There was such a shameless person who really treated this place as his own home.
It was only then that he realized that all of the other parties were carrying guns and not wearing uniforms. They were probably not good people!
Zhang Qing sighed and went to the kitchen to boil water!
******
At the junction of Suihua and Mulan,
On an inconspicuous hillside,
A man with a rifle on his back stood at the top of the hill, holding a green Yama battle flag in his hand!
The man looked behind the hillside.
About 5 kilometers away on a small road, there was a long cavalry team marching, and a bright red flag was raised in the team!
This man is the flag bearer on duty for the Yanwang Team today, Wang Hao!
He faced the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces following behind him and began to wave the flag signals he had just learned.
He first shook left and right three times, then tapped the ground forward!
Wang Hao repeated this action five times.
It was not until the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces behind him also sent out a flag signal that he mounted his horse and left!
Kang Huaifu put down the telescope and smiled at San'er.
"This King of Hell's flag signals are really useful! He just said that there is a place to camp ahead!"
San'er was very surprised and showed admiration on his face.
"Captain, this is awesome! We are five kilometers away and can't even hear you shouting. It's much more convenient to have a flag!"
Kang Huaifu looked at the three-star red flag of the Anti-Japanese United Army held up by the team again, and suddenly felt filled with pride and his morale was boosted!
"San'er, now that we have the military flag, how do you feel?"
"I have a sense of pride, I will sacrifice my life for the flag!"
Kang Huaifu smiled with satisfaction.
"Is it fun?"
"That's awesome! Captain, we never dared to be so blatant before!"
"Haha, the King of Hell dares to do that. He said that from now on, our mixed-combination troops will raise their flags wherever they go!"
Suihua is a plain area, with flat land.
Yin Xinjun hopes Sai Mulan can see this flag.
Of course, military flags also play a very important role!
The four great military merits in ancient legends are: being the first to reach the summit, breaking through the enemy lines, beheading the general, and capturing the flag, among which capturing the flag is the most difficult!
Military flags are crucial to the morale of a team!
Moreover, the military flag can also be used to spread propaganda to the people along the way and inspire everyone's anti-Japanese beliefs!
As for exposing the target, haha, this can even be used as bait!
Yin Xinjun made 10 large flags of the King of Hell and 30 small signal flags this time! He wanted to raise the battle flags to all parts of the Northeast!
We have entered Suihua.
In the team, everyone was singing the March of the Volunteers to commemorate the Northeastern people's anti-Japanese war as they walked!
"Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves, and use our flesh and blood to build our new Great Wall!"
