After Director Han finished speaking, everyone began to gear up, eager to start the war tonight. Brigade Commander Ding saw that the fire had arrived, the smell of gunpowder was already very strong, and those who had participated in the siege and annihilation of Huajiagou still wanted to kill for a while and then hurry up. He said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, brothers of the 117th Brigade, how easy is it for our brigade to take these wounded and get rid of Motegi on foot on foot? Besides, the 4th Brigade of the Motegi Cavalry did not spare us, and now we are prostrate at their feet, and they will kill our heads in the same way. The fact that they occupied the northeast and attacked Rehe again, and that the northeast army they killed was defeated, is a clear proof of this. Therefore, the brigade headquarters decided to fight to the death with the Motegi devils who were in hot pursuit here in Monkey Head Gou. ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said: "When it comes to fighting to the death, that is our determination, and when it comes to every battle, we must fight flexibly." From the Gudu River to the tomb roof beam, and then to Huajiagou, everyone should also feel that we are more flexible and creative in command than the battle on the Bahrain steppe. From now on, every one of our commanders must regard flexible operations as the direction of their efforts......

Brigade Commander Ding waited for him to finish speaking, stood up and said, "I order, the 233rd regiment, to be stationed at Fangshengoukou; The 234th Regiment was stationed in the ditch of the house. Act tonight and enter the predetermined location tomorrow morning. When you meet fellow countrymen, we must have a good relationship, don't divulge the secrets of the march, and we can only say that we are fighting devils. The 235th Regiment assembled from the west of Houtougou Village to Huilongling, bringing more cold-proof equipment, and not being careless in the march and disturbing the villagers. In addition to the guard battalion and the communications battalion, all other units of the directly subordinate units also assembled at Huilongling......"

Many personnel, especially junior officers, didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Brigade Commander Ding's gourd, so they crossed and forked below. Brigade Commander Ding just talked about the overall deployment, and he continued: "Brothers, don't worry, there is time to study the operation. Now it is up to Chief of Staff Zhang to announce the specific operational deployment. ”

Chief of Staff Zhang just put down his pen, put the battle plan on the table, looked up at everyone, and said: "According to the overall deployment of the brigade headquarters, the 233rd Regiment is hidden behind the woods and villages in the eastern section of Fangshenling; The 234th Regiment drove to the middle of Fangshenling, and it was also hidden in the woods, but it was necessary to send a small force to show the devils on the ditch avenue and wait for them to take the bait. The 235th Regiment, most of which gathered on the heights of Huilongling, saw the devil's horse team coming west, so they pretended to dig fortifications to prepare for a long battle, and led them forward. Out of a battalion, concealing the second fortification in the south of the village, sluggish and confusing Motegi. The special battalion of the team directly under the brigade headquarters dispatched a unit and divided several units to monitor and attract devils to the east......"

The various departments received orders and waited to communicate with the staff officers about specific operational matters, key points of attack, and precautions. After a while, they left one after another.

It was seven o'clock in the evening of March 5, and the external officials dispersed to carry out their mission. The personnel of the brigade headquarters blew out the candles and horse lanterns, and continued to study the problem of how Motegi would fight if he did not go to Nanliang. There is also the problem of Motegi seeing through the illusion of fortifications......

Motegi Mae's building chattered about this and that, in fact, about the exploration of the Liao tomb, why didn't he want to see the baby's demeanor? But as soon as he thought of the insinuations of Old Man Muto's words, he didn't want those treasures anymore. For his iron-blooded career, he can only be healed by war, and the extra wealth of the empire can only be obtained by war. Therefore, I cannot separate from war in this life.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, he and Kameda were helpless and escorted, escorting a large group of people, out of the west gate of Chifeng City, passing through Bajia, and heading towards the Gudu River. The mounts of the officers and soldiers, the Oriental horses of a water, are tall and mighty. Along the way, the dust was flying, and the war horses were neighing, so they were not angry. But the building in front of Motegi is not angry, the ancient capital river, as well as the tomb roof beam, and the birch ditch, have become places that they don't want to mention, which can be described as secretive. Kameda was helpless and the wound in his heart was heavier than his, and he was wrapped up and slashed by the defenders for a while, which is too fresh in his memory. He deeply felt that the people of China were not easy to provoke, especially the 117th Brigade, which was extremely fast and attacked decisively and powerfully......

Motegi and Kameda came to the ancient capital of Kawanishi Shiri and entered the camp of the brigade headquarters, and Shintaro Umei came out of the camp to greet them. He gave Motegi a military salute, and Kameda saluted him, and he let Motegi and Kameda into the tent, saying that he had prepared Japanese food and ake, and that he would wash them in the evening. Motegi also wants to open it, it's really always thinking about one thing, and it will go astray, and if it's cool, don't worry about it. He said: "Kameda-kun, victory and defeat are common things, let's have a drink tonight to comfort the tired and unbearable." ”

Kameda couldn't refuse, but he remembered that more than half of his 7th Wing were newly recruited officers and soldiers, and they had to be grouped together tonight so that tomorrow's battle could be well coordinated. Motegi thought about it, and before eating, he had to have a meeting. The three wing commanders and all the team commanders all believed that the 117th Brigade was cunning and cunning, and the mountains of Monkey Head Gou were high and dense, so it was necessary to advance cautiously. Motegi was more humble than ever, saying, "Fight the 117th Brigade, be cautious. After that, it will not be dark and there will be no battlefield. ”

In the end, Motegi laid out the general arrangement: the 13th Wing advanced to the Huajiagou Gate and monitored to the west; The 7th Wing was temporarily next to the brigade headquarters to nourish their spirits and boost their morale. The 17th Wing left the brigade headquarters and drove west to the south of Huajiagou Gate, forming an angle with the 13th Wing's Ono Taro Division.

Just as Motegi Maenotsuki was drinking and thinking about how to enter the army tomorrow, the 17th Wing, which had already moved forward, sent someone back to report the news, saying: "Yamaoka Jiedasa ordered me to come back and report to you, the village of Minamiyamane found fireflies, I don't know if the 117th Brigade is using fraud again or is it a natural ghost fire?" He's waiting for your instructions......" Motegi said, "Why didn't he call you instead of asking you to run errands?" The devil herald Ota Said: "Report to the brigade commander, use a wireless phone, for fear of being detected by the 117th Brigade......"

Motegi listened and said, "Roaring, fireflies, what a weird firefly. "A staff officer brought the map and found the village, called Kogamikyo. Motegi thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what Kogamikyo meant, but considering that this place was not far from Monkey Head Gou, he was afraid that the 117 Brigade was playing some tricks. It was decided that the ministries would not advance for the time being, and the herald was ordered to go and deliver the order. It makes sense to ban radio just now, but in fact, there are still wired telephones in the communications corps, but the departments are changing quickly, and except for the 13th Wing, it is a little too late for other departments to set up telephone lines. If the ministries do not act for the time being, the telephone lines will have to be erected.

Under the supervision of Shintaro Umei, all wings and directly subordinate teams have strengthened their vigilance. In the first half of the night, there was no movement of the defenders' night attack, and Motegi felt a little at ease. But he couldn't sleep, so he ordered more than 100 people from the headquarters to take turns to check the night in various departments, and pay attention to the surrounding movements by the way. He called Chifeng City, and then to the Tongliao Headquarters, and finally found the Shinai Xiwu Wall. In this call, Motegi showed a more modest and sincere attitude, because he came to the front line again, various atmospheres, new situations and new information, which made him feel that it was not so easy to defeat the 117th Brigade.

He said, "Shinai-kun, do you know this place in Kogamikyo? Shinai talked to him from the phone, much more casual than the last time, and said with a smile: "General Motegi, could it be that the imperial army has encountered a ghost hitting the wall again?" Motegi was a little impatient and said, "That place is indeed a bit weird, so please tell me about the allusion to that place...... Chiuchi asked, "Where is that place?" How weird is it? Daiku Motegi told him. Shinai smiled and said, "General, give me some time, and I will give you a satisfactory answer......"

The Rehe Special Operations Brigade, under the leadership of Chu Zhenhu and others, drove to Beiwanzi on March 5. There, Wang Yilun, the secretary of Chifeng City, held a meeting for them. This is the first time that our party has led its own troops in the area near Chifeng. Wang Yilun talked about the purpose and pace of Japan's invasion of China from the current anti-Japanese situation; From the whole nation's resistance to Japan, to the establishment of the party's command of the gun. More than 30 troops attended the meeting, and each of them was enriched ideologically and spiritually.

Bai Ji led his neighbors to bid farewell to the Rehe Special Operations Brigade, and rushed back to Keqi on the grassland. When he returned to his hometown, he sold part of his family property, and with a team of seventy people, he went east to find Li Qi, who was fighting against Japan. Since there were big bandits in Yin Hechuan, they had to take a detour to the east. In the vast grassland, no matter day or night, Bai Ji looked up at the immortal sky, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, Li Qi's name. For a while, I felt that Li Qi was farther away than the Big Dipper, and the Big Dipper could still be seen at night, but Li Qi had no news.

But he couldn't give up, firstly, the brothers he followed had the determination to resist Japan, and secondly, he was sent back by Du He, the head of the Guisui organization, with the purpose of leading the people in his hometown to make a revolution and resist Japan. And Li Qi is the guide who guides his own team. On the morning of March 4, the team turned most of the circle and drove west to the area of Laofuchuan Honghuagou. At this time, from the entrance of the fairy cave on the top beam of the tomb on the south side, black things continued to fly out. They inquired about the people on the mountain, and they learned that it was called the tomb roof beam, and the hole where things came out was called the fairy cave.

They are like stones, but not all of them, and oak of wood, not all of them. Sensei said that the people under him, even Bai Ji had never seen it. I saw that one by two, three by five, flew out of the cave and fell into the fairy pool below the cave entrance......

The fairy cave and the fairy pool, because the terrain is too high, and because it is a fairy thing, no one has dared to set foot in it since ancient times. The thing fell in, and the splashed humus emitted long purple smoke that blocked out the sunlight. Everyone was stunned, and there were a few fast horses coming from the direction of Chifeng City in the east, and the people on the horses turned their heads to look at the mountains to the south while galloping. One of them said, "What is flying out of the Immortal Cave?" Another person said: "It doesn't matter what he is, Chifeng City has been occupied by the Japanese, let's leave quickly...... one person said: "Isn't that the shell fired by the cannon when the Japanese attacked the mountain slope?" ”

Bai Ji and the others were stunned when they heard this.
