Bai Yihua listened to the old man's words as he scanned the situation in the room. He stopped the old man and said,"Sir, where are Juan Zi and her mother? Why didn't I see them?"
The old man said,"Let's go." Before Juan Zi left, she left a letter for you and asked me to pass it to you.”As she spoke, she took out a letter from her pocket." Juan Zi asked the village's private school teacher to write this.”
Bai Yihua opened the piece of paper and saw the words: "Yi Hua, I'll take our daughter away. You can focus on fighting the Japanese. Remember, you must avenge Grandpa. Don't worry, I'll raise my daughter. Don't worry about us. Fighting the Japanese is your big deal. Wife: Juan Zi." After reading Juan Zi's letter, Bai Yihua pounded his chest and stomped his feet. Then, he returned to the mountain with Hu Zi. The moment he returned to the mountain, Bai Yihua fell ill and was in a coma. He kept talking nonsense. Shan Haitao found Cai Shan and Shi Shoutian to discuss, the team must be transferred, we can't wait until the commander wakes up to make a decision. If the devils attack us at this time, it will be a big problem.”After the three of them discussed, they sent people to carry Bai Yihua to a new place. Bai Yihua only woke up after being in a coma for seven days and seven nights. Under Shan Haitao's meticulous care, Bai Yihua's body recovered very well and he quickly went back to work.
However, this time, because it was the Japanese who led the Japanese to encircle and annihilate them, Bai Yihua and the others could not stay for more than seven to eight days in each place they moved to. They were caught by the Japanese and had to move to a new place. This put Bai Yihua and his volunteer army in a very passive position. Facing the approaching Japanese, Bai Yihua had no choice but to withdraw from the Liaoning area and head north into the Xiaoxing 'an Mountains area. It was hard to say whether this decision was right or wrong under the conditions at that time. Bai Yihua's point of view was that if they went north into the Xiaoxing 'an Mountains, the Japanese would not understand the terrain of this area, so it would be difficult to find them. This way, they could deal with the Japanese in this area. In fact, Bai Yihua and the others were not familiar with the Little Xing 'an Mountains area. What he did not know was that the Japanese Kwantung Army had a large sphere of influence here. After Bai Yihua and the others entered this area, they encountered many difficulties. This was also something Bai Yihua did not expect. Cai Shan and the others also didn't realize this.
Bai Yihua led the volunteers to the mountains of the Lesser Xing 'an Mountains. They had almost lost all contact with the outside world and did not know what was happening outside. Bai Yihua used a map seized from the Japanese to explore the march. Sometimes, they would meet a hunter and ask him about it. After comparing it with the map, they would know where they were. At this time, there were all kinds of voices in the volunteer army. Some were full of complaints. Some said that they were always wandering in the mountains and forests and did not dare to fight the devils on the water face to face. After their commander fell ill, he became timid and had no way to deal with the devils. There were also those who pretended to be sick and left. The number of sick people also increased. Bai Yihua was troubled by one thing after another. Faced with the complaints of his brothers and the decreasing number of troops, Bai Yihua, Cai Shan, and the others discussed many times. In the end, this was not a solution, but they could not think of a way to get out of this predicament.
The Spring Festival of 1934 was spent in this deep mountain forest. That day, Bai Yihua and his brothers ate wild vegetables. When his brothers all fell asleep, Bai Yihua did not feel sleepy at all. At this moment, Bai Yihua deeply realized that his decision back then was wrong. This was caused by his impatience and inconsideration. At this moment, Shan Haitao came to Bai Yihua's side and sat down. He said to Bai Yihua,""I can see that you're very anxious, but we have to face reality and think of a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible. Don't worry, no matter how difficult the volunteer army is, the four of us are brothers that won't be broken apart. Let's think together. There must be a way.”
Bai Yihua shook Shan Haitao's hand and said,""With the three of you by my side, I feel much more at ease. I have an idea. I'll tell you first and see if it's feasible. We've been in the Lesser Xing 'an Mountains for quite some time now, so we don't know anything about the situation outside. I think we should be able to get rid of the pursuit of Hua Hua Zhang and the others. Now, we'll rest here for a while. You and Shoutian stay at home to manage the team. I'll go outside with Caishashan to understand the situation. Let's see if we can find a way out of this predicament.”
Shan Haitao said to Bai Yihua,"You can go without worry. Don't worry about your family. Nothing will happen."”
Just like that, Bai Yihua and Caishan descended the mountain before the sky had even brightened. At the foot of the mountain, Bai Yihua and Cai Shan said goodbye to each other, but they all parted ways.
A few days later, Bai Yihua returned. He asked Shan Zhangtao about Cai Shan's situation. Shan Haitao told Bai Yihua that Cai Shan had not returned and asked him what good news he had brought back. Bai Yihua excitedly said to Shan Haitao and Shi Shoutian,"I heard that General Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi have come to the northeast to form the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance Army. They are preparing to unite all the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast and fight together. I think that if we can contact General Yang Jingyu and join the alliance army, then we won't be fighting alone, and we will have someone to rely on.”
Shan Haitao said to Bai Yihua,"Your idea is right, but how do we contact General Yang?" He must be working in secret now. The Japanese were also looking for him. Besides, even if we can contact him, how can we make him trust us?”Bai Yihua pondered for a while." It seems that we have to fight a battle in this area. We can only make our name known. I think Commander Yang will contact us when the time comes."”
Shan Haitao also said,"Yes, let's wait a little longer and see what kind of news Caishan will bring back."”Just like that, the two of them remained silent. They stood in front of the brazier and warmed themselves over the fire while thinking about the problem.
