At 11 o'clock on March 10, Chu Zhenhu took Ma Mingchuan, Ha Ritu and Zhen Yupeng to the headquarters of the 117th Brigade in the old house of the Meng family on Kara Street. Zhen Yupeng, Chu Zhenhu, and Ha Ritu stepped forward to salute Director Han and Section Chief Li, and Ma Mingchuan stepped forward to salute Brigade Commander Ding, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, and Chief of Staff Zhang, and then turned around and shook hands with Director Han and Section Chief Li. After seeing the ceremony, everyone was a little stunned, Ha Ritu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This matter blames me, I should introduce it first," he raised his right hand and pointed at Brigade Commander Ding and said, "This is Brigade Commander Ding." Chu Zhenhu and Zhen Yupeng hurriedly stepped forward to hold Brigade Commander Ding's hand, and Chu Zhenhu said: "Brigade Commander Ding, I can be regarded as seeing you...... Brigade Commander Ding also said: "Old Chu, I also heard that you are very calm, this look, it is really ......."

Ha Ritu introduced Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Chief of Staff Zhang one by one; Then he stretched out his left hand, pointed at Chu Zhenhu and said, "This is Chu Zhenhu, the captain of the Hot Special Operations Brigade, and this is Zhen Yupeng, the director of our Political Department...... Everyone shook hands with each other again. It turned out that Chu Zhenhu and Zhen Yupeng met with Brigade Commander Ding, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Chief of Staff Zhang for the first time, and Chu Zhenhu and Brigade Commander Ding only talked on the phone. In contrast, Ma Mingchuan had already met with the chiefs yesterday. After getting to know each other, it is still very intriguing to think about the difference in this successive understanding.

Brigade Commander Ding asked Ma Mingchuan: "According to what you introduced yesterday, among you people, in addition to the three company commanders, there seems to be one less person?" Ma Mingchuan patted his head and said: "It's one less person, he is the deputy of Wang Ying, and now he is the chief of staff." Because he was afraid that something would happen to the troops, if something happened, it would be the soldier I brought over that would have trouble, so I left him on the mountain.

Everyone came to the headquarters room and sat down, and Director Han said: "Your Rehe Special Operations Brigade was formed by Commander Sun because of the rapid offensive of the devils, and the 41st Army was alone in the lonely city, without foreign aid, entrusted to Lao Chu and Lao Ha and others. It can be said that it was ordered to be in danger, rose in a hurry, was built in a hurry, and went to the battlefield in a hurry. It can be said that you have really lived up to your mission, passed the test of blood and fire, and become a team of guerrilla surprise attacks. This is the miracle of the anti-Japanese resistance and the luck of the people of Rehe. ”

The people on Chu Zhenhu's side, looking at Director Han, a white-faced scholar, seemed to be very shy in his speech, and he spoke eloquently in a calm manner, but he was soft and rigid, and his edge was implied. They all admired it in their hearts and applauded spontaneously. The applause fell, and Brigade Commander Ding said: "Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and I both know that your unit has been subject to dual jurisdiction since its establishment and has an unusual mission. Including Team Baiji, just like you. No matter what others say, I still admire you. From the attack on the horses and munitions of the devils in the Mongolian Mountains, the brigade headquarters knows about you, and you have become a unit under the jurisdiction of the 117th Brigade. In the few battles since the fight against Fangshengou, you have all cut off the devil's arms, blown up the devil's baggage truck, restrained the devil's actions, sent the devil's medicine over in a steady stream, supported the 117 Brigade units, and laid the groundwork for the next victory. ”

The orderlies offered tea, and everyone drank tea. Brigade Commander Ding also took two sips of tea, and then said, "Originally, it was the congregation and herdsmen of the Red Gun Society, but now there are not many left, right?" "Chu Zhenhu said sadly: "It's not much, there were more than a hundred, and when they met with Battalion Commander Ma, there were less than thirty or forty people, including the herdsmen who joined later......" Ma Mingchuan added: "It's not with us, it's our merger into your ......" Brigade Commander Ding said: "Whoever merges into whom, you can let it go first, what is commendable is that you have different ways, different beliefs, and even different affiliations, for the sake of an anti-Japanese resistance, you can get along in harmony, and it is a miracle of anti-Japanese resistance." ”

When it comes to miracles, everyone agrees and is happy, which is an affirmation of their actions. Everyone applauded. Brigade Commander Ding continued: "I hope you can learn from each other's strengths, help each other, and create a few more miracles in this hot north." ”

Adjourn for a moment and take a break. Section Chief Li drafted a plan, and the Rehe Special Operations Brigade was renamed the Rehe Independent Regiment. Including: Regiment Leader: Chu Zhenhu; Deputy Head: Ma Mingchuan; Political Commissar: Haritu; Chief of Staff: Wang Binghui; Director of the Political Department: Zhen Yupeng. The Rehe Independent Regiment quickly went to the north beam of Kara Street, Yan Yingzi and the area of Coffin Ditch in the west, and waited in concealment.

Director Han and Section Chief Li followed these men to the Yan Yingzi garrison to educate the officers and men in ideology and quality, so that they could improve their political consciousness and mainly their understanding of anti-Japanese resistance and rise a step in their combat against devils. Chu Zhenhu handed over the surplus guns and ammunition to the brigade headquarters.

At 9 p.m. on March 10, Motegi Mae no Tsuku, leaving Kameda helpless Osa, followed by Kogamikyo and carrying the other horses to the monkey head ditch. He put on a soldier's clothes and blended in with the group, surrounded by the Shimanishida squad of Kinoshita's squadron. At this time, when he saw that the trees on both sides were too tall, and the trees were the sea, he even thought that this sea was connected to the Sea of Japan. Leaving behind these men who had followed him, he plunged headlong into the sea and swam back. But I don't know how to water, and if I get into it, I'll drown.

He thought a lot, if the sea knew that he was returning to his hometown, would he send himself back to Kumamoto? But this sea is full of dangers, and at any moment a shark or sea monster will come out and devour itself. He thought of the emperor, of the people in suffering, oh, wait for me Motegi, conquer Shina and I will go back.

At this time, the team that had just traveled far was a little scalp blasted. There was a whine in the distance, and the wind was blowing. The woods crackled, and the soldiers and officers on the left and right looked back at Motegi's shape. Motegi scolded in his heart, he couldn't be a general at first glance, you look at me like this, if there is really an attacker, do you still need to identify it? He had no choice but to answer with composure, and tell everyone to move on with composure.

The horses slowed down, and for some reason, not a single horse neighed. He didn't look back, and by feeling he knew that all the warriors were in the same mood as himself. If anyone looks back at this, they must also calm down and not be frizzy and resentful of others.

The team marched between the birch ditch and the house body ditch, and there was movement in the woods to the south, and the troops stood in an orderly manner to the side of the team, and Kimura Nakasa gave an order from the rear, saying: "Don't shoot a gun, quietly investigate." Motegi looked out into the woods from his horse, but couldn't see anything. After a while, it was reported that it was a pack of wolves. The herald of the palace turned his horse back and informed the horse team behind him to protect the horses. As if there was no danger, the team continued westward.

Almost to the mouth of the ditch, to the southwest is the camp abandoned by the imperial army a few days ago, a large area of black and black, and almost connected to the woods in the south. Everyone's hanging hearts were about to fall, when a crisp gunshot shook the wind. Then a barrage of gunfire rang out, bullets flew through the night sky from a distance, and the soldiers were hit one after another, falling like dumplings under their horses.

Kimura Ichiro Nakasa led people to rush forward to protect Motegi, fenced his horse, and walked a little east. The soldiers on the horses dismounted, fell to the ground, and opened fire on the abandoned camp. Kimura ordered the herald Miyanishi to inform the grenadier group behind him to hurry up a few. The grenadier group in the ash field beat the horses and ran to the front, and they all jumped off their horses, some of them opened the box to get the shells, and some of them had a gun carriage. The officials were too slow, and some of them were scolding the gossip there.

The cannonball struck in a long arc, and the light exploded there. Kimura said, "Hit hard, and if you attack the Imperial Army, you will have to die, and you ......will have to die," and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw a few grenades at the easternmost and closest part of the abandoned camp. The grenade exploded with a clatter, and a group of guards and horses rushed up to protect Motegi. Kimura whispered, "Please dismount and ......be careful of concealment," and Motegi had to jump off his horse. Guards dragged him to a low-lying area and squatted down.

Kimura, who commanded the soldiers of Kinoshita's squadron, bent forward with his waist and threw a grenade into the fortification when he was about to reach the vicinity of the fortification. Motegi ordered Miyanishi to pass the order, "Tell Kimura not to fall in love with the war, the wisdom of the Shina army is greatly ......" Later, the Okamoto brother's inner brigade also came, and many soldiers rode around Motegi. Motegi thought that there were so many people surrounding me that if a grenade was thrown in, it would blow up my ground. Although he thought so, it was inconvenient to say it.

At this time, I saw an army rushing from Houtougou Village, like the wind, and brought several machine guns, which were originally from the Zhutian squadron. Takeda Shaosa saw that there were people who were shooting and fighting, and there were also people who were waiting there, and it took several inquiries to find Motegi who was squatting on the ground. He separated the crowd, stepped forward to salute, and said: "General Motegi, Takeda is late...... Motegi stood up, raised his hand and gave him a few mouths, and said: "What about Umei, the Chinese army has the most wisdom, you are here to kill, what should they do if they take the headquarters?" ”
