217. A small town at the foot of Qingyang Mountain
The old lady looked at Chu Lun's face and thought that he had made a big mistake again, and she felt very uncomfortable, and she stared at him and didn't know what to do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Chu Lun asked him to tie his hands and feet just now, and he was a little unbearable, and he blamed Xiuzhen a little bit in his heart, he tied it too tightly. Now I secretly thanked her again, and her hands and feet were quick. Xiuzhen also thought that Chu Lun had committed a big smoke, and made up her mind in her heart, that is, not to untie the rope for you. Donglin He came to see that Chu Lun's house was in flames, and the trees in the front mountain and the back beam were bright, so he ran over to take a look. He and his brother He Wu ran past, and the wolves were scared away. The big-headed wolf was still looking over the elm stump, and was almost stuck by Helai's fork, and both people and mountain animals were startled. Hearing He Lai's words, Chu Lun felt even more embarrassed, but Xiuzhen and her mother-in-law felt even more courageous, and they all went to the gate to talk to He Lai.
The wolves scurried, Brother He Lai and a few went back, the fire outside was about to be extinguished, and the family went into the east room to look at Chu Lun. I saw him lying there with his hands and feet tied, covered in sweat. The old lady looked at this son more uneasily than anyone else, this east room is hers, Chu Lun and they live in the west room, but Chu Lun can live on his own kang, as the old **, his heart is the most stable. Chu Lun was constantly sweating, his face was extremely painful, and everyone came into the house, which had no effect on him. When he saw that the last Chu Rong was also squeezing over, he bit his lip and expressed his reluctance to see this child. Chu Rong shrank back with interest, he couldn't see Chu Rong anymore, he was relieved, let go of his lips, and muttered to everyone and to himself: "The gray idea is back again?" I'm sorry for the gray idea, I'm sorry for the second uncle, and I'm sorry for you......"
The old lady's tears came down and she said, "Chu Lun, you can really remember the big smoke, that mother plans to live for another two years." If you smoke like that again, you won't die, you won't go home at night, and your mother doesn't plan to live......" Chu Lun also cried, crying for a long time. I don't know if he is crying about the barren years, the collapsed family property, or the love for Xiuzhen and other family members, or the ups and downs of fate...... However, Xiuzhen and the children stood there dumbfounded, and they all thought that he was going to cry because he was going to be pierced......
Chu Lun spoke, his voice was still like a gossamer, and said: "The second uncle's gray idea was sold twice by me, and he ran back, it is really an old horse who knows the way...... But why didn't he go back to his second uncle's manor and come here again? Chu Lian was a little white, and he said: "There is a fight in the Jin Shengtai compound, and the gunfire is like bursting beans, and the horse is scared." Second grandfather, they don't know how to open the door...... "When Chu Lun heard her say that the sound of gunfire was like bursting beans, it seemed that he really heard the gunshot, his eyes rolled, and he turned his back on it......
The time has to go back to 9 o'clock in the morning, Brigade Commander Ding and all the commanders followed the Lianfa into the gate of the East Burning Pot, only to see that although this small city is rammed earth wall, it is a high wall and a wide courtyard, and the house is roughly divided into two parts, east and west.
The small city of Kim Shengtai is 1,500 meters long from east to west, 500 meters wide from north to south, and is surrounded by rammed earth walls. This wall is made of loess from the North Mountain, accompanied by millet soup, plus the strength of the wall-beaters, plus the financial resources and courage of the owners of the National University, it can be said that it is made of four in one. Who is the owner of the National University? The first famous rich man at the foot of Qingyang Mountain, a generation of Confucian businessmen. Originally apprenticed in the Baida Dongjia of Yuliang Fort, and later placed this field property in the Guangxu period and named it Jin Shengtai.
As soon as I entered the gate and walked forward, there was a pungent smell of wine and sake lees, which made people more and more drunk. After many years in this nursing home, and when the enemy was about to invade the house and the soldiers fought against the enemy with blood and fire, the responsibility and courage that increased dramatically with the times were added to the shoulders of negligence. As he walked, he turned around and briefed Brigade Commander Ding and the commanders on the layout and facilities in Kim Shengtai City, as well as the methods used to break the bandits in the past. Brigade Commander Ding pointed to the corn stalks on the big wall and asked, "What does that do?" Lian Fa smiled with the maturity he had just accumulated, and said: "That's a trick to break the bandits, generally bandits will use it as a gripper if they want to pick up the top of the wall, but whoever catches the floating stick straw will have to fail." If you don't fall down, you'll miss it......"
Just from the east end of Shaoguo Street to the west end, a group of people wearing cotton robes and top hats were clustered, and a medium-sized man with green pants and green coats and a cover came up. Lian Fa nodded to this person, turned back to Brigade Commander Ding, and said, "Chief Ding, this is the owner of my family...... This is the commander of the 117th Brigade...... "He turned around and introduced the head figures such as Yang Chengzan, the bookkeeper, Guo Donglin, the pawnshop, the accountant, Mi Chengdong, and the pot manager, Li Mingshan, the manager of the pot, to the commanders behind him.
After listening to Lianfa's introduction, Brigade Commander Ding stood still like a mountain, raised his hand to salute, and said with a shallow smile: "Guoda Dongjia, I have heard Commander Sun say before that my 41st Army has the support of you and your family. In recent days, this wounded person has been transported over, and you have not been less worried and broke the bank, although you have a heavy responsibility, you also know that great grace will be repaid. But this battle was fought too closely by the Japanese invaders, even so, they didn't dare to visit the blessed land easily? Since the proprietor is sincere, it is not as simple as drinking tea, so I ask the big proprietor to make it clear here, and also point out the officials. Otherwise, even if this tea is drunk, the brigade commander will definitely withdraw from your mansion......"
The proprietor of the National University listened to him, his words were sincere, he was humble in his depression, and he was tired and iron-blooded, and hurriedly raised his hand and saluted and said: "Brigade Commander Ding doesn't have to be polite, if I give something, I should do it, at least I am willing; Beacon Fire even hates family feud in the heavens, and no one feels this situation more deeply than you......" He said and pointed to the east with his hand, and said: "The loess on the side of Huangwopu and Xiaokala is rising, it must be the devil's horse team." I won't gossip, of course, I'm a bit of a class axe, I see that Qingyang Mountain can't hide soldiers because of the steep cliffs, and Jin Shengtai is a small beam before and after, and he can't hide soldiers. You're walking again, where have you run past the devil's horse's legs? In a hurry, my small city can be used......"
Brigade Commander Ding and all the commanders were immediately moved when they heard what he said and spoke proudly, and they raised their eyes to look at this rich and loyal officer, and saw that he had a disc face, a straight nose and a wide mouth; A pair of distant mountain eyebrows, a pair of Danfeng eyes, big and spiritual. Black outsider, flaming red fox fur hat, small felt rattling cotton shoes, about 1.7 meters tall, walking step by step spirit, speaking eloquently. He waved his hand and said, "If you don't dislike it, please come ......with me," Brigade Commander Ding said a few polite words, followed closely with all the commanders, and came to a courtyard. The owner of the National University said with a smile: "This courtyard was originally built as a temple for the old man, and now it seems that it will not be able to keep the peace of Guan Gong, so please strategize here and win the devil." I don't dare to say that this small city is impregnable, but this rammed earth is leaked out of millet soup, although it can't stop the cannonballs, but the guns can't penetrate it......"
Deputy Brigade Commander Ji smiled at the regiment commanders and said, "Fortunately, the devil's cannon is estimated to not be supplied for a while......" Brigade Commander Ding stood in the courtyard, looked around, and was very satisfied. He said to the owner of the National University: "Great owner, the battle is cruel, and you have contributed your small city so generously, the lower officials dare not guarantee that it will not be destroyed in the war. My 117th Brigade is very poor, how will I compensate you then? After a pause, he said: "The owner of the National University, with all due respect, the family and finances can be evacuated?" The Japanese are stubborn, it's too late for you to regret it now......"
Guo Bailing shook his hand and said: "As the old saying goes: The country is ruined, the country is gone, can I keep a small earthen city?" Someone in my country has always regarded money as dung, believing that it will come back when it is gone...... Besides, you have all killed in a blur of flesh and blood, and how many heroic souls have remained in Rehe, what am I worth...... Please rest assured, what is lacking, whatever is missing, just find someone to ask for, just like finding me......" The owner of the National University knew that he could not delay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye, and Brigade Commander Ding had to see him off. He turned to a staff officer and said, "The main hall is a war room, immediately notify the confidential company and the communications battalion to come and set up the ......" and said to Deputy Brigade Commander Ji: "I order all regiment commanders to hold a meeting immediately, and immediately inform Chief of Staff Zhang that the original location of each department has changed, and each regiment will immediately open in the east and west gates, and they must ...... quickly."
Drawing staff officers Wang Zuoxiang, Qi Tianli and others climbed the big wall to measure the pattern of the small city. Originally, the big wall was two feet high, wide at the bottom of the wall, narrow at the top, and a donkey cart was full of traffic. The straw of the stick on the top is stepped into the wall, and the wind can't blow it off, so it will fall off when you pull it. In the corners of the four large walls are four turrets, and in each turret hangs a large pole filled with gunpowder. The eastern half of the town is high and low houses, and the whole makes up a pot. The middle section is a field, and there are also sparse houses, all of which are small grass houses. The western half of the country is a courtyard facing north and south, and the houses are neat and tall, and the hay is fine and well-proportioned. In addition to the pawnshop, there are all grocery stores, and then there is a residential area, and there is also a west garden where the owner lives.
The owner of the National University is not only rich in small towns, but also outside the small cities, and most of his fields are also in the west and north of Qingyang Mountain. There is also the same Qingyang Mountain under the Qingyang Mountain Riverside of the flower feathers, although there are relatives of the emperor, how can the family fall in the middle of the road, and the fields have been placed by him one after another. Every autumn, the valley waves rise with the wind, and the sticks also grow gratifyingly. When collecting rent, Mi Chengdong, the rent collector accountant, followed the cart down to collect rent, which was very hard. couldn't pay the rent for various reasons, Mi Chengdong laughed and said, "You come to fold, right?" "It is to write the arrears of rent on the fold, and pay it back in the next year. This also forms an allusion, and to this day, people there persuade others to do things, and they will say: You can do it. The place name was also left, East Burning Pot or Burning Pot Street, is a village; Kim Sang-tae is also a village, and Hwa-Ling is also a village......
Jin Shengtai is the name of the small town, which originated from the original observation of Qingyang Mountain by the owners of the National University. The town is located in the north-east of Qingyang Mountain, from where it looks like a tall "gold" character standing through the ages. The first thought of the owners of the National University was to make a fuss on the mountain shape of Qingyang Mountain, starting with gold, instead of using the name "Qianshengyong" as everyone hoped. And when he became the owner of the National University, people gave him a new name, Guobai Lingzi. Because its mouth can speak, and its words are as good as larks singing, and anyone nearby has something to do, they have to find him to make peace, including the nobles of Hualing. With this mouth, he can say that the dead are alive, the living are happy, and the happy are happy. After a long time, his real name was forgotten, and he was happy to go with the flow.
Wang Zuoxiang and other staff officers were optimistic about the distribution of houses and buildings and avenues and alleys in the city, carefully figured out the characteristics and laws of the pattern, returned to the compound of the Lao Ye Temple, and went to the staff office of the West Chanfang designated by Brigade Commander Ding. The map was quickly sent to the operational meeting being held in the main hall, and Brigade Commander Ding and the others got up and carefully studied the map, and occasionally some people went out of the house to discuss the deployment of troops in detail against the real thing, especially the houses and wall stubble far from the big wall.
Brigade Commander Ding finally sat back in his seat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the owner of the National Congress contributed his small town of Jin Shengtai to our army, and we must make good use of it, turn the small town into a bunker to destroy the old devil Motegi, and defend it to the death, not letting him move forward...... Deputy Brigade Commander Ji looked at him several times, and wanted to interject, but he had no chance. He did not agree with his general strategy, and he felt that he should divide his troops and drive to the predetermined position just now, and defend the small city. After the devils pounced on the small city, and the defenders used the big wall as a cover to defeat most of their sharpness, the defenders at the predetermined location took the opportunity to outflank and cover up, and the battle was decided. Chief of Staff Zhang also did not agree with Brigade Commander Ding's strategy, but it was not easy to raise objections.
Brigade Commander Ding knew that there were different opinions below, but seeing that Motegi was already desperate, he would definitely let the horse go, arrange the formation of the devils to enter the village, and capture the small city and then hurry up. So he overrode the public opinion and said: "Motegi is desperate, and I will give him someone to defend the lonely city." I order, for the time being, the 234th Regiment will guard the east gate, the 235th Regiment will guard the west gate, and the other forces will be deployed in a mobile manner......"
