Kimura Ichiro Nakasa originally boasted to Motegi Maenotsuki that he had gone to the sea, saying that he would not capture the Shina army that dared to sneak attack the imperial army, so he raised his head and went to see Motegi. But when he jumped off his horse and led the devils to the ground, he found that the woods were very dark because the sun had not yet risen. Coupled with the horses' hooves and the movements of the people lifted the sand from the road, they couldn't open their eyes when they looked into the woods. After staring at it for a long time, I occasionally saw firing, and obviously changed places after one shot.

He and the officers and soldiers rubbed their eyes while firing indiscriminately, and finally Lin Ruyuan was stared at by them when they continued to fight horses. Although Captain Chu immediately ordered to be transferred on the spot, and the brothers also moved the place after the guns were released, it still allowed the devil to play an extraordinary role. Hundreds of guns were fired in unison, and a dozen or so were killed at a slow turn. When Kimura was about to launch an attack on the forest, Motegi sent a herald to repeat his order, not to entangle with the Shina army, so as not to be fooled.

Kimura Ichiro had no choice but to check the people and stand on the road to guard the woods, and he felt that he was fortunate that Motegi was still alive. As soon as it stopped for a while, the dust rose again in the east, and he hurriedly sent people to investigate. After a while, someone reported back: "Report to the chief, the imperial army is still coming from the east, and they claim to be the ...... of the Okamoto Brother Brigade of the 25th Wing of Fuxin" On Chiwei Avenue, the devils were full at once, and the news was reported to Motegi, and Motegi felt that the confidence in his heart had increased a little. He concluded that the defenders who attacked him would not go far. Thinking about it again, the trees on both sides of the half-branch Arrow River are high and dense, and there is a feeling that the wind is blowing and the grass and trees are all soldiers. So he decided to set out at night and ordered the 17th Wing led by Kameda to remain stationed in Kogamikyo; Kimura Ichiro Nakasa's brigade and the newly arrived 25th Wing were stationed on the side of the road to confuse the defenders......

It was 8 o'clock in the morning on March 10th, Captain Chu, Battalion Commander Ma, Lin Ruyuan and others took the rest of the team members and retreated to the East Valley of Huajiagou. What can I do? Big brother, you're the sharpshooter, what am I? I'm sorry for my father in Dongshantun, and I'm sorry for my brother who just died......" As he spoke, he drew his pistol and aimed it at his temple to pull the trigger.

As soon as Captain Chu saw that he was coming, he said, "Brother Ma, what are you anxious about, whether Motegi is dead or not is not certain, let's listen to it!" Battalion Commander Ma was hesitating, Captain Chu touched his elbow with his right hand from behind, his right hand holding the gun was numb, and his five fingers were released. Captain Chu stretched out his left hand and lowered his gun, and said: "Brother Ma, whether you are a hero or a bear, you have to calm down, you are good, Motegi didn't kill him, he cut himself first." Motegi knows, he not only laughs at you, but also laughs at the 117th Brigade, and will look down on the 117th Brigade even more. Besides, the fathers and elders of Dongshantun are waiting for you, and you just leave? ”

As soon as the battalion commander Ma said by him, he quit self-cutting, but he still didn't come out of regret. In fact, Captain Chu didn't regret it, knowing this, it was better to shoot at that group of people at the beginning, maybe Motegi had already been killed, so he sacrificed the two of them for less, but it backfired...... Back in Dagou Tangzi, Deputy Captain Harbin presided over the meeting, and Lin Ruyuan wrote to summarize the reasons for the failure. Captain Chu was just about to self-examine when he saw a sentry outside the shack panting and depressed and delivering a letter. He said it was brought back by the person who delivered the medicine.

Captain Chu opened the letter and saw that it was written by Xiuzhen. The original text is as follows:

Fourth Uncle respects:

Since you and Chu Lun went to join the army together, saying that they were fighting devils, Chu Lun came back in a few days. Ask him where you are, and he can't tell. Did you really join the army? Then why don't you bring Chu Lun with you, so that he can also have more knowledge. His horse was not at home and was defeated. When he came back, he was addicted to cigarettes again, and stole all the pig food troughs and urinals at home to Wang Lu's house.

What's left of a huge home? Now there is a courtyard empty, and most of the walls are about to collapse and the houses are about to collapse, and even the wolves can't stop them at night. Yesterday, grandma said that the little pig was bitten by a wolf sooner or later, and Chu Zhang had to cut down some branches and block the door of the pigsty. The wolf really came at night, and in the house you could hear the wolf pulling the branches out with his mouth. When the branch was dragged, the wolf went in and took a pig.

I was more scared when I went to bed at night, and I was more worried about another little pig being taken away. I wondered a little, when my father-in-law was alive in the past, where did the wolf come from? Now there are more than the sheep, and the wolf howls around the yard at night are so scary that they frighten the children. There are often three or five of them during the day, circling around the yard, and they are never afraid of people. The grandmother of the Geng family said: "The way of the world must change, otherwise where will there be so many mountain animals?"

Fourth uncle, you said that this mountain animal is here to eat people, and it was originally a place where people live, but it has become a place for them to do something wrong? People still have to burn incense for them, and they don't dare to call them wolves, they have to call them Zhang Sanye.

Besides, Chu Lun, who only cared about tying up a big cigarette, was not in good health in the morning, and secondly, after he put on a big cigarette, he didn't think about anything. And Wang Lu and Wang Qiping saw that he had nothing to exchange for big cigarettes, so they wanted to trap him. When the guerrillas came, they asked who the landlord was, and they said that Chu Lun's family was.

Yesterday, soldiers came to the village again, asking who is the big family? They still say the Chulun family. As a result, Chu Lun was taken aback when he was tied up first. Later, he was kidnapped and asked to confess his fortune, but he said no, and they said that he was chatting, beating him to the point that his skin was open, and he poured chili water on it. It was the third brother of Chu Feng who carried him back. I've been coughing since I came back that day, and I haven't gotten up from the kang yet.

There is one more thing, Chu Qi is gone. Not two days after you left, it was just about to get dark, and then you were gone. If you want to talk about this, you also blame me, on the day of the military disaster, I took him to run to Kim Shengtai on horseback, and as a result, I saw the soldiers who went to resist Japan and went east. Jin Shengtai's big boss Guobailing led his subordinates to deliver food in Duanzhou. I asked him to inquire, and when he came back after inquiring, his mood changed greatly, and he seemed to have grown up a lot. The two of us returned to Huwanggou, and I was about to tell my mother-in-law about this, just in time for Chu Lun to steal the golden wire cage, the second uncle beat him again, and you took him to join the army.

Within two days, he passed the line and he was gone. I want Chu Zhang to go out and find it, but he is too young. I had no choice but to go to Jindi with him as a companion to Dongliang, and they said that the team was called the 13th Regiment of the Chengpingning Guerrillas. Some people say that at the end of the line, there is a child in white pants with some black smoke on his pants. Later, it was on the number, Grandma Geng once saw him learn to pick up the ground with a plow stick, learn to learn, and then go home and rub the pot ash on his pants, and he didn't rub much, and he left after spending less.

Fourth uncle, I am just two sons, he is still gone, what do you say I have to do? I can't tell my mother-in-law about this, she is so old, and Chu Qi is her most painful grandson, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it. After talking for a long time, I haven't asked you how you are there? If you really fight devils, you have to pay attention, they all say that bullets don't have eyes. After beating the devil, come back early, you have to talk about a daughter-in-law, so you have a home!

I miss Chu Qi a lot, and I dream of him every day when I sleep. At a young age, he carried guns with the adults. I'm afraid he's falling behind the adults, so if you meet those people, talk to them and take care of this child. If you really run into Chu Qi, leave him with you, and bring him back when you come back." And you say to him, Grandma thinks he is sick, and I am sick too.

In addition, some of our people in Huwanggou dare not listen to the second uncle's words, but it turns out that no one dares to do this. Last time, the people of the 13th regiment passed here, and several people in the village followed, saying that they would come back next time, and they would fight the second uncle and divide his family property and manor. I talked a lot, I don't know if you understand. The last thing is that my mother-in-law told you that you should come back after beating the devil!

Sincerely

salute

Niece and daughter-in-law Xiuzhen goodbye

March 8, 1933

Chu Zhenhu asked Lin Ruyuan to read the letter back and forth to him twice, relying on it in front of everyone again, otherwise he would shed tears. Through his words, everyone knew his original intention of coming to fight devils, and also knew that he had three very capable brothers, and the dead eldest brother Chu Zhennan was the most capable, but he was poisoned to death by Japanese spies when he was planting indigo in the paddock. Listening to the long sigh of everyone.

Ma Mingchuan slapped his thigh and said: "Brother Chu, I'm sorry for you, I haven't killed the Japanese ronins I met before, even if I see them bullying the people, I always have a soft heart, it's a pity." Ha Ritu said: "Actually, this is not that you are alone in your heart, your psychology represents the status quo of our nation. As Xiuzhen said in the letter, where people live, some mountain animals came, and they came with a heart of harm......"

After reading the letter, and then summing up the lessons of failure, Captain Chu said that he had a great responsibility and should be mainly responsible; Ma Mingchuan disagreed, saying that the two shots were fired by himself, and he should be mainly responsible, or even fully responsible, if they missed. Captain Chu said: "I am the captain of the Rehe Special Operations Brigade, and I am responsible for the overall responsibility. I also personally participated in this piercing operation, but it was unsuccessful, and I should be the one who is responsible. Ma Mingchuan said: "Although you are the captain, but I am the one who shot the gun, and I missed the two shots, I can't escape the blame, I voluntarily not be the battalion commander, and I will be transferred to Lin Ruyuan to be the ......company commander of their company."

Ha Ritu waved his hand and disagreed: "The Rehe Special Operations Brigade is not someone who has the final say, he has the leadership of the Chifeng underground party, and at the same time accepts the direct leadership of Director Han and other leaders; In terms of operations, he was directly under the command of the 117th Brigade, because he was given the number by Commander Sun and personally approved the formation. All his military operations must be consistent with the general deployment of the 117th Brigade...... So don't fight between the two, for the time being, the two of you will each share half of the burden, and the superiors will have their own decisions in the future. ”

Brigade Commander Ding couldn't get through by phone, so he had to send someone to deliver another letter. The letter stated: "It seems impossible to assassinate Motegi by gathering a heavy army at Kogamikyo at this time. At the same time, the brigade headquarters received an order from the military headquarters that in view of the medical treatment and recovery of the wounded provided by you, the treatment and recovery of the wounded have been more effective, and the operation can be accelerated a lot; In view of the fact that the ammunition, food and other baggage of the various units of the 117th Brigade were never replenished except for the captured Japanese troops, they withdrew westward as much as possible. The brigade headquarters ordered the Rehe Special Operations Brigade to take Wucha Mountain and Gaojiagou and quickly move closer to the west
