39. The Frozen Lonely Village of the Beacon Fire in Bahrain

Brigade headquarters of the 117th Brigade stationed at the Bahrain Bridge.

On the morning of March 1, a heavy snowfall covered the Bahrain grasslands. The brigade headquarters received a telegram from the military headquarters, which was forwarded by Wang Yilun, secretary of the Chifeng Red Branch Former Committee, to Adviser Li. Secretary Wang Yilun learned from the interception of Japanese vehicles by the Tongliao Anti-Japanese Federation and the Volunteer Army that the first part of the defending army blew up and killed the commander of the 34th Wing of the 36th Brigade of the Sixth Division, Daotian Zhaoda, and a number of officers, causing the wing to be almost paralyzed......

After reading the telegram, Ding Boting and the other commanders felt that the people's hearts were very happy, and guessed that it should be one of the 234 regiments led by Yang Ganmiao. He ordered the brigade headquarters and all the departments directly under him to take the 234th Regiment as a model and fight the devil to the end...... The officers and men located near the Bahrain Bridge were all encouraged by the achievements of the 234th Regiment, and everyone rejoiced and their blood boiled. It's cold after the snow, and no one feels cold. All the governors are because of Director Han's "...... The surprise attack is tonight, and the idea of taking advantage of the dark moon and the wind is high ......" admired him even more.

After the brigade headquarters studied and decided, the first section of the communications battalion of the military headquarters was dispatched to immediately set off to get in touch with Regiment Commander Yang and them. As soon as the soldiers of a reinforced company led by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Zhiyuan marched on the vast snowfield northwest of Moli Naoer (Bai Yin Naoerxi), the figure disappeared.

Ding Boting also entrusted Director Han to lead a company of the special service group to set off and immediately go north along the eastern part of Baiyinnaoer, so as to find Regiment Commander Yang and them as soon as possible. Among these people was Ha Ritu, the head of the grassland who was introduced to him by Han Linfu to join the party, and he led some former herdsmen to follow closely with horses and camels carrying cotton clothes and sheepskin jackets donated by herdsmen.

At first, they followed the horseshoe prints of the first part of the communication battalion, and after arriving at Mo Li Naoer, they galloped directly east past Mo Li Zhuoer and Bai Yin Naoer and turned north, in order to find Commander Yang and them as soon as possible.

Ding Boting received another telegram from the military department, which was transmitted to the military department by Secretary Wang Yilun through Adviser Li; The Bahrain grassland is very cold after the snow, and the devils are all from Kyushu, Japan, which belongs to the temperate climate, and I have never seen such a cold weather, and there are too many soldiers and horses that have been frozen.

The Tongliao Command originally mobilized the Chaoyang Flying Brigade and the Lushun Flying Brigade (three) planes belonging to the 4th Brigade of the Motegi Cavalry to bomb the defenders of China on the Bahrain steppe, and then bomb the Chifeng City and the various battlefields in the east......

Now I had no choice but to unload all the ammunition that had been loaded on the plane, load it with something to protect against the cold, and fly to the Bahrain grassland and the battlefield near Tongliao to airdrop it to the Japanese troops......

The communications battalion sent people to set off immediately to deliver this message to Director Han and Regiment Commander Yang Ganmiao. and told them that at present, the Japanese army is hindered by the cold, and they can take advantage of this fleeting opportunity to attack the devils; If you are too tired, you can also withdraw to the banks of the Xilamulun River and go to the yurt of the villagers to take refuge in the cold to avoid the cold weather......

Director Han and others urged the soldiers and herdsmen to drive their horses and camels through the snow and run quickly, in order to meet with Commander Yang and them as soon as possible, so that the soldiers who had been fighting all night could keep out the cold. When I arrived at Baori Wusu, I found a group of cavalry in front, and when I got closer, I saw that it was a communication company led by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Zhiyuan. Everyone looked at each other and smiled when they saw the hoarfrost on each other's faces, and when they met, they had a warm and reassuring taste.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang gave a military salute to Director Han and others, and said with a smile: "We traveled all the way, and we didn't find any horses. A herdsman who had just gotten up early said that in the big herd on the Great Wilderness of the West Eight Forks, there were many soldiers with guns on their backs, sleeping with cattle, horses and sheep. When we look at it from afar, we can't tell whether it is the Japanese army or our army.

Some of them wore sheepskin jackets, and most of them wore yellow skins from the Japanese army. But the Japanese army's costumes were not worn on their bodies, most of them were wearing shirts and trousers, as if they were not to be worn. Some wore Japanese hats crookedly, and some put Japanese hats over their faces and slept against the cows and horses lying on the ground. Seeing that they slept so hard, I really couldn't bear to disturb them.

After listening to him, Director Han looked north and said: "Little Japan's army, we all fought yesterday, so military discipline can't be like this, what you have seen, there must be something you don't understand......

Wang Fangyi, the company commander under Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, scratched his head and added: "Hey, by the way, two people around them who look like sentries are holding guns, and they are asleep on the cow, their clothes seem to be full of blood, and the devil's yellow skin is also draped on his body, and his pants are not suitable for his legs at all......"

Director Han and Deputy Battalion Commander Wang looked at each other, and Director Han said: "It must not be a devil, a devil doesn't wear clothes like this, it's normal."

What if it's our people? …… If Captain Yang and they are so cold that they wear devil costumes...... Alas, by the way, didn't it just now say that they wiped out almost three squadrons of the Devil's 34th Wing? Will they take the devil's costume and put it on to keep out the cold? ……”

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang said: "With such an analysis, then they are the head of the Yang regiment...... Company Commander Wang, take your men and horses to run north, see if there are any devils or anything else, go back quickly, and set off immediately. ”

The company commander of Wang Fang received the order, saluted the commanders, turned around and ordered the troops, got on his horse and set off. Deputy Battalion Commander Wang turned his head and asked Director Han again: "If it's really Regiment Commander Yang and them, do you think it's better to let them sleep for a while, or wake them up immediately?" ”

Director Han and the others waited for a long time, but it was too cold, so they walked forward together for a while, and saw that there was a big meadow in front of them, which was full of livestock. Moreover, the stars are full of trees, there is no snow under the trees, and the cows, horses, and sheep are crowded next to each other, and there are many people wearing Japanese military uniforms during the period, all carrying guns, and the cattle, horses, and sheep around them are crowded tightly, and it can be seen that the more they are crowded, the hotter it is. Looking at it, Director Han burst into tears a little, this is the officers and soldiers of my 41st Army, in order to fight devils, they are so cold that they are squeezed with cattle and sheep to keep warm......

These people were seeing that Company Commander Wang Fang had returned with people, and he immediately raised his hand to salute Director Han and Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, and said: "The place of more than ten miles to the left and right is white, and no devils or other abnormalities have been found......

When the company commander Wang spoke, the herdsmen's sheepdogs all came out and barked, and a black horse in the herd also jumped up, and the horses were guards, and he did not allow anyone to approach the horses.

The barking of the horses and dogs woke up many of the soldiers. In the yurt not far away, Regiment Commander Yang came out first, he also put on a Japanese military shirt, and he saw from afar that it was Director Han, who came over embarrassedly, gave a military salute, and said: "The post violated military regulations, did not arrange light and dark posts, please ask Director Han to enforce battlefield discipline, and I am willing to be ......punished."

Director Han waved his hand and said, "These people are camping, they should arrange a sentry post to rest, and it is not allowed according to military regulations." But today depends on the actual situation, and I will explain this matter to the two brigade commanders when I go back. After you stayed here, nothing serious happened, and you were not to blame for the past. Besides, do you know what you've been doing all night? ”

Commander Yang said: "What did they do, don't mention it, the night attack was very successful, and after the incident, everyone was still unsatisfied, wanting to kill them." It was also my carelessness that I was confused by the bombardment of the devils, and at least six or seven hundred brothers were killed here......"

He lowered his head as he spoke, and when he looked down, he saw that the Japanese shirt he was wearing was covered with blood...... When he bowed his head, all the soldiers and commanders looked down at their uniforms covered with the blood of the Japanese army, and they didn't know what to do......

Director Han said: "Brothers of the 234th Regiment, you have worked hard, do you know how much you created last night? You have paralyzed a Japanese wing, killed a captain of the Wing of the Great Zo rank, and many of his officers! You are the heroes of the grassland, the heroes of the 41st Army, and the heroes of the Chinese......"

At this time, several other herdsmen in the yurt also came to greet him, Yang Ganmiao pulled a tall old Mongolian to introduce to Director Han and said: "Director Han, let me introduce, this old man is the benefactor of our 234th regiment, Uncle Haas, yesterday we were confused by a cannon bombardment by the Japanese army, it was he who sent someone to find us, brought us here, and contributed the yurt, so that some of the wounded soldiers and many commanders could rest and warm their bodies......"

Director Han got off the horse, touched his chest with his right hand, bowed his head and said, "He Saiyin Bainu ......"

The old man also patted his chest and bowed his head and said, "He Saiyin Bainu ......"

Director Han stretched out his hand to hold the old man's hand and said, "Thank you so much, old man, if you didn't rescue them, they would have to freeze to death!" ”

The old man said in stiff Chinese: "You are an army of devils, and we herdsmen are a family, I can't take good care of them, and most of them sleep with cows and horses, so I'm sorry......

Director Han and Head Yang both said: "This is very good, if you don't sleep in the cow and horse pile, you have to freeze to death......

At this time, a group of people sent by the communications battalion also rushed here, and the letter written by Deputy Brigade Commander Ji was handed over to Director Han. Director Han looked at it to the effect that the Japanese army had frozen many people and horses, and their movements were blocked, and the planes that were originally intended to bomb the Chinese army had unloaded their shells to transport and airdrop cold supplies for them......

At the same time, they were asked for their opinions, if they were too tired, they would drive to the Xilamulun River to repair, and if they felt that the Japanese army was blocked by the cold, they would provide us with powerful fighters, and then they could find opportunities to fight again......

Director Han and the others were invited into the yurt by the old man Haas, and instructed his subordinates to prepare milk tea and meals as well as beef and mutton for the soldiers. Before the meal, Director Han held a meeting attended by Head Yang and Deputy Battalion Commander Wang.

They inquired in detail about the distance from Baori Wusu to Baoyin Ulagai and Baiyin Aobao, the topography and the herders. After a comprehensive study, it was decided not to return to the Xilamulun River for repairs for the time being, but to take advantage of the devil's 34th Wing's nest, the 33rd Wing's arrogance, and the 11th Brigade had no time to look east, so it attracted the 33rd Brigade to look for fighters and catch him off guard......
