On March 11, at eight o'clock, the memorial service began on time, and in front of the mourning shed stood neatly the officers and soldiers of the teaching regiment, on the east side of the officers and soldiers were the commanders of the headquarters and the nearby gentry, and on the west side of the officers and soldiers were the people from various villages who came to mourn. Deputy Brigade Commander Ji presided over the memorial service, he was about 1.7 meters tall, a white-faced scholar, but he spoke sonorously and powerfully. When he was about to speak, he found that there was one person missing who should appear, Jia Congliang. Hurriedly ordered Guang Liu and the head of the regiment to send someone to find him, and after a while, Jia Congliang arrived, and Director Han was the last to arrive because he was in a hurry to write a speech. After coming, he stood or squatted and continued to revise his manuscript. In fact, his fountain pen has long run out of water, and now he is using Meng Da's fountain pen.

Seeing that everything was ready, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said: "The memorial service begins, please take off your hat, and the silence begins." ”

"The silence is over, and the one who burns the paper, please burn the paper to the west side. Brigadier Ding, please: "

Brigade Commander Ding's speech was a draft made by Section Chief Li with temporary help. He read: "Today, our 117th Brigade borrowed the treasure land of Karajie Village to hold a memorial service, firstly, to pay tribute to one hero, and secondly, to pay tribute to a group of heroes. With heroic ambitions, inspire us to live, and share the same hatred, we must kill the old devil Motegi. Our department has fought a bloody war with the devils so far, thanks to the selfless help of the people of Rehe, who are our food and clothing. On behalf of the officers and men of the brigade, I would like to express my deep gratitude......"

Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said loudly again: "Next, I would like to invite Director Han to speak......

Director Han stepped forward, first took off his hat to Bai Ruicai's coffin, and then turned to salute everyone, including officers and soldiers. He reads:

"In March, the blood stained the dust. Rehe, the homeland where I was born and raised, came robbers. They have been planning for a long time, using sophisticated weapons and crazy means to occupy Bahrain first and then enter Chifeng. He has been killing my relatives and robbing me of my belongings; I have the hot river of Huatianbao, the tobacco leaves of Nailin, the wood of the Laoha River, and the lump of coal in Yuanbao Mountain...... They have become the gluttony of the robbers; The unyielding sons and daughters of Rehe must not be slaughtered by others.

"Today, in the land of Rehe, we mourn the good son of the people of Rehe, the good son of the Chinese land Yanhuang, Mr. Bai Ruicai, who was brutally murdered by devils on March 6. Mr. Bai Ruicai was the chief accountant of Yuanbaoshan Chifeng Bulb Factory. The devil used tough measures to occupy the Chifeng bulb factory, which made Bai Ruicai and his workers very angry. When they fail to strike, they slack off; Later, in terms of energy and materials, it urged it to reduce production, which caused great losses to the devils......

"We mourn Mr. Bai Ruicai, who sacrificed his life for the country, and we mourn all the workers who generously went to the disaster with Mr. Bai; We mourn even more deeply, and in order to fight the devils, we will forever leave our lives in the Bahrain steppe, Mongolian Mountains, Shanshui Slope, Chifeng City, and all the heroic sons and daughters in the land of Rebei......"

He turned around and read the names of those people: Liu Yueting, Li Shusen, Zhao Wenlin, Bai Ruicai......

Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said: "Next, the gentry, Meng Fanying, and Meng Yuanwai will speak. ”

At this time, in the direction of the lower camp, the sound of artillery sounded.

The memorial service had to end, and everyone stood still, bitterly reluctant to leave. The teaching regiment was ordered to evacuate the masses. The Japanese army had already attacked the camp position, and I was afraid that as soon as their planes were dispatched, the masses would suffer too much.

At 9 o'clock, Xiaomei and the two coachmen got up and hurried on the road.

The 13th Wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Tetsugou Men'er, under the command of Shintaro Umei and Ono Otaro, dispatched an Shimao Maru Brigade to cooperate with two squadrons of the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade to carry out a tentative attack on the Xiayingzi position. Ono Tataro Osa learns from the previous experience, no matter how you lure the enemy deep on both sides, he occupies the central axis of the highway by himself.

Tian Lianshan, commander of the 11th Battalion of the 234th Regiment, and deputy Lan members of the company, according to the plan formulated by Commander Yang, camouflaged the first trench, attracted the second trench, and withdrew from the third trench. Shimafu Maru Nakasa said to Zuo Zuo Mu Shaozo: "Zuo Zuo Mu-kun, your land, as soon as the shelling is completed, immediately attack their first trench ground." Zuo Zuomu stood up and swore solemnly: "Hai, please rest assured, the position of the 117th Brigade is vulnerable to ......."

Shintaro Umei rushed to inspect the position, and when he heard Zuo Zuomu's wild words, he reprimanded: "The 117th Brigade is not easy to mess with, do you understand?" The Imperial Army has attacked such positions many times, and all of them are traps...... "Shimao Maru and Zuo Saki Bi stood up respectfully and shouted: "Hai. Shintaro Umei said: "If this position is not breached, it will be difficult for the imperial army to advance, and it is necessary to kill chickens and give ......."

Shimafu Maru Nakasa looked back, the barrels of each artillery squadron were wiped clean, and the first trench fire of the 92 infantry guns exploded in a burst of 92 infantry guns. Seeing that the explosion in the sky was nothing more than broken firewood, Long Qiutaro was so angry that he yelled.

The second artillery bombardment of the devil began again, and as the range of the shells extended, Zuo Zuomu waved his troops forward to follow. When the devil's cannon stopped for a while, Zuo Zuomu waved his sword, and the devils of the whole team rushed forward. Tian Lianshan in the trench said; "Batches of grenades were thrown into the formation of devils, and they immediately exploded everywhere. Shimafu Maru Nakasa had to press another squadron, and several crooked machine guns fired at the same time, and in front of the position, blood and fire were compatible, and flowers of the battle for freedom bloomed.

Shimao Maru killed Shimo Squadron again, but still couldn't get a second trench. Ono transferred the Takeda squadron again and threw it into the attack. Tian Lianshan, the battalion commander, saw that the goal had been achieved, and at the same time, there were too many devils. He ordered the companies to break into pieces, burrow into the third line of trenches, and move into the woods on the north side.

In the afternoon, Motegi Mae no Tsuki also led the main force to the scene, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the 13th Company to quickly march westward, cross the lower camp, and sweep and advance to the south platform. The special service regiment that occupied the wolf ditch and the 236th regiment west of the ditch kept harassing them in the south. The devil has Motegi's order, and only responds to the counterattack, and never pursues it over a long distance.

Brigade Commander Ding and the commanders urgently discussed, adjusted the southern regiments, disguised themselves to the east, and devoured a squadron of the Benteng Brigade of the 17th Wing that had just arrived at Tiegou Gate in one fell swoop. By the time Yamaoka Jie had come to kill him, the defenders had withdrawn without a trace. Motegi also sent Matsushita's squadron to kill them, but he didn't see a trace of them.

Motegi scolded angrily and said, "117 Brigade, don't play cards according to the rules of war, what's the work?" He shouted into the woods. Shintaro Umei reminds him to be hidden. He said: "I have occupied this central axis, let him fight the 117th Brigade, won't I eat a squadron, and then how will they fight?" ”

At this time, two soldiers arrived from the west of Nantaizi Village and handed Motegi a piece of paper, saying that he had found it at the garrison headquarters. When Motegi looked at it, there was writing on the paper, which read: "Commander of the Motegi Mae Nozuki Brigade, although you are a cavalry brigade, it is not easy to catch up with my 117th Brigade." Because we are defending our home and country, and we are fighting a just war; And you came to China to kill yourself for money and to fight an unjust war...... If you pursue further, you will surely die.

117 Brigade, Timbertin

Motegi asked with a smile, "Where did you find it, and why did you come back?" The two soldiers thought they were going to reward them. Rush to move forward. Tell me that it was the first thing I found. Motegi was noncommittal. Umei asked the two of them, why was they half a day later than others? They smiled and said, "I want to find a flower girl to work......

When Motegi heard this, he was angry, and he pulled out his adjutant knife and slashed a devil with one sword. Turning around to look for another devil, I saw him dragging his gun straight to that station, without fear. Motegi stopped with his raised knife again and asked him, "Why aren't you afraid of death?" He said, "Because I am your soldier......

Motegi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's the spirit of my Kumamoto soldier, I won't kill you, you can be a scout." The devil said, "Thank you, Shogun Motegi." Where we picked up the letter, it was as if the defenders had just left, and the water was still ...... warm."

Brigade Commander Ding hurried west to evacuate the wounded, and he was going to organize a big battle for Motegi......
