21. Into the city

On the morning of February 28, 1933, Commander Sun led the 13th and 18th regiments of the artillery brigade, the guard regiment, most of the baggage regiment, most of the communications battalion, the military hospital and other units directly under the army.

Although most of them lived in the houses of ordinary people the night before, they got up early in the morning and felt that Chifeng was very cold, especially the cold in spring, and all the soldiers endured the cold for the first time in their lives. There were also many frozen feet, but no one complained or complained. The vast majority of the soldiers of the 41st Army were from Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, and other southern regions, and no one had ever seen such cold weather. This is called seeing what you have never seen in your life, and tasting what you have never tasted in your life.

At this time, the cadet corps played an even more important role, and no matter which part it was assigned to, they all went deep into the company to boost morale from the height of national righteousness and defending the homeland and the country, as if they were not afraid of the cold at all. Miao Xueliang, a soldier of the first detachment, was a student of Rehe No. 1 Middle School, and he and several classmates were introduced by Chen Jinghu from Chengde to Anjiangtun to join the student corps. On the way from Longhua to Siheyong, Han Linfu secretly reported to Adviser Li for approval and introduced him from a member of the Communist Youth League to a member of the Communist Party of China. He drafted and everyone collectively participated in the creation, compiling the stories of Hua Mulan disguised as a man in the army and Mu Guiying being in command into an allegro, and sent people everywhere to say:

Hey, let's not talk about anything else today

Just said that Mulan joined the army for her father

Defend against foreign invasions

Baoshan River

That year, the border was in an emergency

The court asked Mulan's father to go into battle

Go and fight for your life

Mulan

How can I bear to look at my father's old age

Go and fight hard

Mulan

The apricot eyes were round and secretly scolded the Huns for starting a war for no reason

The mountains are as frosty as snow

The journey is thousands of miles away

Suddenly, she had an idea

There is a way

He wanted to disguise himself as a man and serve in the army for his father

Go and slay the demons

…………

It's cold at the border, it's a cold day in Sanjiu, dripping into ice

……

Mulan, she disguises herself as a man

Not afraid of the cold

Mulan

She doesn't let her eyebrows go

Bursts of slaughter are always ahead

Meritorious service

…………

The commander and the soldiers were all moved by the deeds of Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, and they admired these two women in their hearts, and they also admired the people of the Xuebing Corps even more, so that they could endure the cold, endure loneliness, and prepare for killing devils......

Gao Zhihang, a member of the Cadet Corps, is the same as Director Han, both of whom are in Rebei's home. His family lived in the village of Daxin Duster, and when he saw that the soldiers couldn't stand the cold, he happened to pass by the door of his house, so he ran home to find something to protect him from the cold. His father went to Nanhe to collect rent, and when his mother saw that he had returned, she thought that he had come back from school to visit his relatives, so she was busy ordering someone to make food for him.

He said: "Mother, my son has something important to do when he comes back this time, and now everyone who is traveling with him is frozen, do we have extra cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes at home?" ”

The old lady saw his anxious appearance, and she couldn't bother to ask him for details, so she found him a few, and he was too little, so she carried a roll of coarse cloth bought by his father and returned to the company. Many soldiers were dressed too plainly, and they were so cold that they tore a piece of coarse cloth and draped it over their bodies, and they also took care of something.

Along the way, Gao Zhihang and his classmates went to the gentry to do work, and mobilized to contribute cotton clothes and shoes......

The soldiers' hands and feet were so cold that they couldn't stand it, but they still clung to their weapons and hurried forward, their righteousness high.

The 13th Regiment of the Artillery Brigade was stationed in Nanliang, the 14th Regiment occupied Bajia, and the 18th Regiment followed the brigade headquarters into the city and occupied the South Gate.

On the morning of the 28th, the 119th Brigade occupied the territory of Chengzi, and the repair was completed, and was commended by Commander Sun.

The 118th Avant-garde Regiment of the 236th Brigade occupied Yazihe and Bajia on standby, and the officers and men hurried to repair the fortifications. The main forces of other regiments and other regiments arrived one after another, passed through eight houses, and joined the military headquarters at the south gate.

On the morning of February 28, Sun Tingbi, the magistrate of Chifeng County, led Wu Liangdong, president of the Chifeng Chamber of Commerce, Sheng Ruixi, director of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, Song Zi'an, principal of the middle school, Liu Jingsan, the principal of the primary school, and other leading figures of Chifeng and representatives of businessmen and scholars, as well as many gentry such as the owner of the business, as well as students from primary and secondary schools, went out of the west gate and lined up on the roadside to greet them.

They lined up in a neat formation from Sandao Street to Erdao Street, and then to the West Gate, and came to the main road east of the Yazi River.

Time flies so slowly, waiting until twelve o'clock, it seems like waiting for half a year. The team still walked through with a sonorous force, and there was no one who looked like a chief. Waiting for people is really anxious, from the elderly to the elementary school students, they all look west and want to wear it. It's the first time that people have been thirsty and can't bear it.

It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I still haven't seen the shadow of Commander Sun. County Magistrate Sun was very anxious, he sighed, and watched the soldier in the gray-blue military uniform walking east like the wind, carefully trying to find the shadow of Commander Sun. It was so disappointing that he felt as if he was dazzled. It's no wonder that the commander has no epaulette logo, and the soldiers are all magnificent, and I really can't tell which one is the commander.

It's frustrating.

Helplessly, Wu Liangdong stared at a figure with a beard on his face, he straddled the short gun diagonally, and his chubby body seemed to jump forward step by step. President Wu stepped forward, clasped his fists at him, and told him to stop.

As soon as the bearded soldier saw that someone was calling him, he stepped out of the queue, turned to the left one by one, and then snapped to the ground and raised his hand to salute. Only then did he shake his beard and said in a steely voice: "I, the commander of the third battalion of the 41st Army Guard Regiment, Wei Changsheng, may I ask the fellow villagers, have you ever had anything to do with me?" Wu Liangdong, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, shook his decent cotton robe, straightened his satin melon skin hat, smiled at him and said, "The chief is the commander of the Wei battalion!" Let me introduce you, this is the parent official of Chifeng County, the magistrate of Sun County......"

Sun Tingbi smiled and said in a loud voice: "No, Sun Tingbi, I have been waiting here for a long time with all walks of life in Chifeng, and it is really a privilege to be able to meet Battalion Commander Wei here......

The battalion commander of the guard gave another military salute and said: "Words are heavy, words are serious......" He smiled, looked at Sun Tingbi fixedly, and saw that he was dressed in a blue tunic and flat cloth shoes, about 1.7 meters tall, with a wide waist and a wide back, a white face, eyes like electricity, a straight nose and a square mouth, and two ears as precursors, which was very majestic. Battalion Commander Wei glanced at it a few more times, admired it very much, and said in a deep voice: "I am a lowly martial artist, I have no culture, and it is really a great blessing in my life to know the fathers and elders from all walks of life in Chifeng here." On behalf of our two commanders, Commander Han of the Guard Regiment and Commander Sun, thank you, thank you. Now that the enemy is present, the Japanese are wolf-like, and the last general still has military affairs, so they will take the first step......"

Hearing him say the three words of Commander Sun, everyone's eyes lit up, and their hearts said that they were waiting for him! County Magistrate Sun was even more happy, beckoned to let the battalion commander Wei who had taken a big stride stay, and said to him: "May I ask Battalion Commander Wei, your Commander Sun, when will he come?" ”

Battalion Commander Wei raised his eyebrows lightly, shook his beard again, smiled, and said as if he had just remembered: "Ao, Commander Sun, he has passed...... As soon as we opened from the monkey's head ditch, we walked in front of our battalion......"

County Magistrate Sun frowned and muttered in a low voice: "We went from 10 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and we didn't see how he passed?" ”

Battalion Commander Wei had thrown off his stride and disappeared into the ranks. A student soldier of the student regiment saw that they were really anxious, so he said to them as he walked: "Look for Commander Sun, they are soldiers who disguise themselves as soldiers with grain and grass, and enter ......the city in a big carriage."

Listening to what the student soldier said, someone suddenly realized that the same soldier sitting in the carriage did not carry a gun, and he looked different from other soldiers, why didn't I remember it?

Someone else said, "The military commander also rides in a carriage?" I can't think of ......."

Principal Song also remembered, and said with a smile: "That's right, those big carriages have passed in the Muke Walled City......"

County Magistrate Sun smiled when he heard this, and said to the people around him: "This Commander Sun is different from the previous commanders, it seems that the devil is really coming, you can see that the march of this team is different from the walking of the defenders of Rehe, this is called the anti-Japanese soldiers......

Everyone praised the difference between this commander and the troops, and the county magistrate Sun Tingbi thought about it for a while and said: "This welcome party must be held, people pretend to be soldiers and drive into the city, we must welcome it to boost morale...... Tomorrow morning, a welcome party will be held in the middle school playground......"

The 119th Brigade, which had already built fortifications in Tucheng, received an order to stay at the brigade headquarters and the 239th Regiment to defend Tucheng, and to guard the movements of devils in the direction of Chaoyang, Yixian and other places.

The 118th Brigade left the 236th Regiment on guard at Yazihe and Bajia, and the rest of the main force was ready to drive to the area of the launching place, Daiwang Mountain and Shanshuipo to block the enemy.

At the same time, the brigade commanders, deputy brigade commanders, and regiment commanders all went to the city for an emergency meeting.
