Commander Sun slept too late last night and dreamed again, so he woke up late. He got out of bed with his clothes on, stretched his waist, and saw that it was almost dawn outside, so he asked the orderly, who was coming in with washing water, and said, "Have all the departments eaten?" ”

The orderly said: "Report to the commander, the 117th Brigade has been open for a while, and the 118th Brigade and the 119th Brigade have also set off to Dongguan, and the headquarters and the directly subordinate teams are waiting for you, wipe your face and hurry over to eat......

On February 26, 1933, the 41st Army of the Kuomintang set off and left Gubeikou and marched north. According to the suggestion of Brigade Commander Ding Boting, the 73rd Regiment in charge of containment should leave a company in Gubeikou Hexi after it arrived, and they were responsible for anti-Japanese propaganda, collecting intelligence, assisting in the transportation of baggage, and getting in touch with the regimental headquarters of the baggage regiment that had just been expelled from Tongxian......

When the military personnel went out of the Great Wall Pass, they saw that because the road was too narrow, the Hetao and the highway along the south side of the Chaohe River and the southern slope of the mountain were all marching troops, and the soldiers were all hurrying forward.

Chief of Staff Wang Zhushi ordered a marching staff officer to go to the front to ask, and the marching staff officer quickly returned, panting and coming to Commander Sun's horse, and said: "Report to Commander Sun, it is the 118th Brigade and the 119th Brigade that are in a hurry ahead, and some of the teams directly under the military headquarters are also following up. The farthest that the 117th Brigade had gone was, the main force had already passed Xiaoweiziyu to the north, and the forward regiment had approached Huodoushan Village......

There are two roads in this village not far ahead, called Bakshi Camp, one to the north, which is the one they are walking on by the 117th Brigade, which is said to be able to reach the Awl Mountain in Weichang County through Luanping and Longhua; The other road to the east, which was once the imperial road of the Qing Dynasty, is said to go directly to Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province...... The two brigade commanders, Wang Changjiu and Ma Wanfa, were about to ask for instructions on whether to divide an army and take the hot ancient road to the east......"

Commander Sun Dianying nodded and ordered the staff officers to go down, while signaling the chief of staff, Wang Zhushi, to unfold the marching map. Deputy Army Commander Zha Fengting and others all gathered around and looked at the map together. After a little discussion, they made a decision, and Chief of Staff Wang went to issue an order: "The 119th Brigade is in front, and the teaching regiment is behind, take the Regu Road and assemble at Karahetun."

When you get there, if nothing happens, you can go straight to Chengde and rush to Chifeng. The 118th Brigade, the 1st Battalion of the Baggage Regiment and all other units directly under the Brigade are to march along the same road taken by the 117th Brigade, and there must be no delay......"

After the division of troops, the units moved more quickly. Due to inquiring about the villagers, I learned that the Regu Road in the east was originally the imperial road taken by the Qing Dynasty emperor to go to the summer resort, and the road surface was extremely narrow...... So the artillery brigade also had to go all the way to the north.

In the morning, the military headquarters urged all units except the 199th Brigade and the Teaching Regiment to move forward to catch up with the 117th Brigade and the Special Service Regiment.

In fact, the road to the north was not very wide, and the dirt road was winding in front of the mountains and rivers, and some troops marched on the road, while most of the other troops had to cross the mountains.

There is a small village on the side of the road, although the village is small, the mountain is surrounded by water, and the mountain beam of Henan has one foot stretching north to the river, leaving a flat platform on the riverside.

The ice of the river is about to melt in some places, and some places are still frozen, and the ice level will be higher than the platform. Director Han said to Advisor Li: "What a Diaoyu Tai made in heaven! ”

After passing the Diaoyutai Terrace, the large army had to climb over the earthen beams, and the military headquarters and some of the troops directly under it took a roundabout way on the dirt road to the north. There was a small village in front of it, and there were several families in the woods, and the river in the woods in front of the village was thick with ice. The water of the Diaoyutai River in the west flows from here.

There are cliffs several zhang high in some places on the east side of Tuliang. Standing under the cliff, I saw that the dense woods, the wide ice slide, spread among the poplar forests, the cliffs, the woods and the people were shrouded in cooking smoke, a good picture of the morning scene of the mountain village. There were a few old men on the side of the road, and they set up a board to bring hot water to the passing troops, and some soldiers took the water to drink, and they went to the side to boil their hands.

Deputy Army Commander Zha Fengting and Advisor Li dismounted and came to the case, and beckoned Commander Sun to come and drink water as well. They thanked the old man before taking the water to drink. Deputy Army Commander Cha said: "Mr. Li, you see how quiet the small mountain village is! He turned to the old man and asked, "What is the name of this place?" An old man said: "If you go back to the military master, this village is called Qingshuiwan?" ”

Commander Sun listened to the old man's words and said to himself: "Diaoyutai, Qingshui Bay, is there an ancient tomb in this place......?"

It was still the old man, who smiled and said: "If you go back to the military master, they are all small villages in the middle of the countryside, and the old generation has never said that there are ancient tombs. Our place is called Qingshuiwan Village, and every family has the surname Yu, and I heard the older generation say that this surname Yu used to live in Diaoyutai Village below. It is said that there is always no continuation, so they all moved up to live here, and the Diaoyutai Village has become surnamed Zhang......"

When Advisor Li heard this, he laughed silently, turned his head and said to everyone: "The surname Zhang is prosperous in Diaoyutai, can you wait for the pole; "The surname Yu lives in Clear Water Bay and is prosperous, like a fish in water...... This is called echoing a place name. Several people laughed when they heard him.

The old men didn't dare to say anything more at first, and when they asked them to speak, the eldest replied a few words. A few of them smiled heartily, which made the old people relax a lot, and it was the old man who made a gesture to Advisor Li and said, "Dare to ask this military master, are you the southern army that went to the northeast to resist Japan?" Advisor Li smiled and said, "It's the headquarters." ”

The old man said: "In the past two days, some troops have gone to the west, running in a panic, saying that they are all from the Northeast Frontier Army, and the military discipline is not very good......

At this time, a report came from the front: "The 117th Brigade has driven to Lahailing, please go to the north of the eighteen, or take the east of Lahailing?" ”

All the personnel of the military headquarters, including Chief of Staff Wang and several staff officers on the march, as well as the commander of the newspaper company and the commander of the confidential platoon, were already standing in front of the map.

The old man instructed the others to carry the bowls of water, beckoned the map to the wooden table, shook off the dust, and stood in the tree by the roadside.

Commander Sun glanced at the map and said to Chief of Staff Wang: "The 117th Brigade, go to Lahailing, run forward...... The Special Service Regiment and the Independent Regiment and other units walked eighteen plates and also ran forward. The other departments quickly followed up from Lahailing, and all converged at the foot of the mountain on the east side of Lahailing......"

The troops moved forward quickly, and a soldier from a reconnaissance battalion hurriedly ran over, saluted the nearest chief of staff Wang, and said, "Report to the sir, in the village of Fanying in the south ditch, there are several routs who are sacking the village......

Chief of Staff Wang said: "How many soldiers are in the rout? ”

The scout soldier said, "There are ten or twenty of them, and they are demanding money from the villagers, threatening to set all the houses on fire." ”

Chief of Staff Wang turned his head to ask for Commander Sun's opinion, and Commander Sun said while beating his horse to leave: "We are about to march, how can we have time to manage a few routs?" He shook his head and laughed a little, and turned to look at Advisor Li, who was explaining things to a chief. He said to Deputy Army Commander Cha: "We can't let a few defeated soldiers ruin our reputation, send a reinforced platoon, get rid of them, and avenge our fellow countrymen......

Director Han smiled and said, "Commander, you don't have to ......be like this," he turned to the first battalion of the guard regiment and said, "Go to a reinforced company, surround that village, and the rout will not dare to fire a shot." The student corps also went to a few people, and those who were willing to resist the Japanese should follow us. If he is unwilling to resist the Japanese, disarm him, let him promise not to oppress the people again in the future, give him two silver dollars, and send him home......"
