243. Bloodstained Qingyang Mountain
Surrounded by guards, Motegi and Goo walked into the main hall of the Old Man Temple. A herald, Captain Naoda, reported, saying, "General, there is a big house in the east that has been blown up, and the flames are very high. Motegi ordered the communications soldier to shake the phone to the chicken in the small circle, and the phone shook for a long time, but there was no response. Soon, the soldiers of the small circle of chickens came from the street of the pot, and a few of them were quickly brought to Motegi, and they said, "The small circle of chickens Dasa and Nahua Shaosa are in the house that exploded, and they didn't come out......"
Motegi did not dare to take it lightly, and ordered his guard team to temporarily form a reconnaissance team to the east to reconnoitre, and collect the soldiers in the small circle of chickens, so as not to be calculated by Ding Boting. The rest of the remnants of the Fourth Brigade and the rear team urged the front team to intensify the sweep to the West Courtyard. In the small town of Jin Shengtai, the house is on fire, and the courtyard is smoking. The alleys were full of devils, and there were children or men who couldn't walk, all of whom were shot and killed. There were also women, young and old, who were raped and stabbed to death.
As soon as Motegi was about to leave the main hall of the old man's temple, a devil came to report and said, "General, I found a woman in this small city in front of me......" When the devils in the headquarters heard this, their eyes widened. Motegi waved his hand and said, "Hey, the women here, the imperial army wants to reward you." Let's go see if there's a ......" he looked back at the chief of staff, and he laughed loudly. He pointed to the west and said: "General, I'll go to the front to take a look, the main force of the 117th Brigade has withdrawn, and the rearguard troops are not able to do their best, and they are still fighting with the imperial army." The 7th Wing is in the far west, digging a gun hole in the western wall...... "Motegi said, "Trumble-kun, you go and see the ground first; The method of digging out the hole of the gun is greatly good, and Ding Boting dealt with the imperial army like this, yelling. Wherever there is a beautiful flower girl, I will still save it for you to enjoy greatly......"
The room where the woman was accused was in the West Garden, and Motegi and Naoda walked in front of them, turning left and right. There was no sound in the room, and Motegi felt that something was wrong. It is customary for the women to flee for their lives in panic, or at least scream. A devil opened the door and opened the curtain, and Motegi stepped in and found that there were women leaning against each other on the bed and the stove and in the hallway, and they were unconscious. It turned out that there were two pots of charcoal in the threshold, and these people had been smoked to death for a long time. In front of the charcoal basin were three plainly dressed maids, all of whom were stained with charcoal black. Motegi looked at it and thought that they were holding charcoal while they were out of gas, so calm.
When you enter this courtyard, the door number says West Garden. This made Motegi suddenly think that Kumamoto Chrysanthemum Creek's hometown also had a west garden, which was a dilapidated yard that had been haunted all the time, and no one dared to go there. Today, how did you get to this West Garden? Naoda and other heralds, as well as guards and staff officers, all gathered outside the door, but no one entered. They thought the general had an affair inside, and they waited outside the door, unaware of the lifelessness in the house.
Motegi saw several women leaning on the bed, all dressed in silk robes, with light eyebrows and high hair, and slender fingers, like the three wives and four concubines of the master of this city. He saw that all the women were blue-faced, and although they had lost their breath, resentment was still coming from their brows. Although they are soldiers, they will inevitably have a chill down their spine, after all, their deaths are directly related to the imperial army. Thinking of this, he was very angry, all the women in this city were martyred, and the men ran away? Leave an empty city for the Imperial Army. Well, women are dead, and I can't let them die well. He was about to call the soldiers outside to come in and pick up the woman's clothes, when he suddenly saw two corpses dressed differently. If you look closely, both of them are wearing kimonos, one is slightly longer and the other is very young.
He looked at their faces again, but there was no resentment, but it seemed that they had been starved. At this time, Naoda Lieutenant couldn't wait and walked in. He was first startled by the dead corpses in the room, which were different from the corpses of the men in the outside position. At the same time, he also felt that the slaughter of Yin Yin was worse than the outside position. He saw the pair of corpses that the general was staring at, and went over to look at them as well. I was taken aback by this. In Shenyang, he prostituted the two of them. He exclaimed pitifully, "Isn't this Mieko?" Why are they here? He looked at the corpses and suddenly understood that these people must be bullying them. He stretched out his hands and lifted Mieko (Xiaoling) to put her on the bed as well, so that she could be equal to the beautiful woman in the bed.
At this time, from the crotch of Mieko's skirt, a handful of Wang Ba boxes fell out, and they fell to the house. Neither Motegi nor Umei had any intention of looking into the crotch of a female corpse, but Motegi no longer wanted to or dared to order the soldiers to enter the house and pick up the clothes of the female corpse. At this time, Fang heard the footsteps of soldiers running back and forth outside, drawing them back to reality. The reality is that in order to eliminate the 117th Brigade, it is first necessary to aim at the rear guard of the 117th Brigade in order to detect the direction of its main force. Twitter has returned to the West Garden. Motegi didn't give him a flower girl, he looked at Motegi, and then at the other devils, and thought, you have all finished venting and working, too ruthless and ruthless, and there is no one left alive, and your conscience is greatly broken.
Motegi asked, "Chief of Staff, how is the land ahead, and you are very competent?" Ji Gu said very reluctantly: "Report to the general, the west gate was sealed by the defenders with sandbags, and a lot of feces were sprinkled. The 25th Wing of the Imperial Army is still digging holes, and they are shooting at them from the holes...... "Motegi asked again, "Where are the other companies working?" Don't they know that the 117th Brigade has run without a shadow, and the Imperial Army has been greatly difficult to chase? He replied: "Report to the general, most of our remaining more than 900 people are from the 25th Wing and the 7th Wing, and most of the warriors of the 13th Wing and the 17th Wing are broken jade......
Motegi said impatiently, "Why don't you draw someone to climb the wall and shoot?" Ji Gu also said with a little embarrassment: "It's not easy to climb the wall, when the defenders withdrew, they destroyed all the ladders and tall trees, and the imperial army was born with small people, so they really didn't go for a while." Motegi listened, but his stomach growled, and he didn't scold his mother. The herald, Captain Lin Indica, arrived, and he said, "Report to the sir, Er Yinjun invented a wooden drill, and the gun hole was shot faster...... Motegi said: "Er Yinjun is really a talent of the empire, and he should be credited." However, it was still too slow, so pass my order to the Takahashi brigade, and let Takahashi's cannon blast the gate open to ......the ground."
When it first left the West Gate, the 233rd Regiment could have withdrawn while fighting, but the baggage troops of the brigade headquarters and the aftermath personnel of the field hospital were not able to quickly cross the Jinshengtai River (lower reaches of the Zhugou River). Commander Miao had no choice but to order the troops to turn back and shoot to attract the devil's fire, so that the troops in the south could quickly cross the river. But they have slowed down their own retreat. Who knew that the gun holes in the west city wall were constantly being dug through, and the crooked machine guns in the gun holes were fired together. The defenders were mostly rifles, and the firepower was clearly not an opponent. The commander of the 6th battalion, Li Guiying, and the deputy Ma Shilling, had to command the command post, and most of the remaining battalion was covered and broken.
Commander Miao asked the communications platoon to contact the brigade headquarters, but he couldn't. Looking back, the 6th Battalion was still fighting and withdrawing in the back, and the tragic situation was unbearable, and the devil's crooked machine gun named them. Relying on Li Gui's experience, he ordered the officers and soldiers to disperse and retreat from the north and south. When a soldier saw his brother falling, he would stop and shoot back to avenge his brother. In this way, if you want to be faster, you can't do it. Fortunately, they retreated farther and farther to the west, and gradually withdrew from the range of the devil's machine guns. The devils who can climb the big wall still shoot the defenders with their rifles. The soldiers also learned from the devils, and immediately turned around and fell to the ground to shoot back, aiming very accurately, and the devils on the wall frequently shot down the wall.
Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and the west gate was blasted open by devils, and a large number of devils cleared the door and rushed out of the city. Commander Miao made a difficulty, if he followed the Qingyang Mountain and River and went south to catch up with the main force, he would inevitably lead the devil in that direction; I had to go west, take the mountain and then turn south, bypass Qingyang Mountain, and go straight to Kele Gou...... However, the devil is a horse team, and there are cars, and the defenders can run on two legs? He immediately made a decision and ordered: "The 6th Battalion and the 8th Battalion have been seriously reduced, cross the river in front of the head, and the other directly subordinate units and headquarters will follow, and the 7th Battalion will replace the 6th Battalion after the river is broken, and it will be executed immediately." "The devil has left Jin Shengtai and is coming west, and 100,000 are in a hurry.
Some officers and men were embarrassed when they saw that the Qingyang Mountain River was very large. He and Deputy Xie Tuan both took out their pistols, and he said: "Guard company, machine gun, whoever goes down the river slowly, will be killed immediately." Under such coercion, everyone jumped into the water and crossed the river with a desire to survive. Many people sneezed to the other side, and many of the seriously injured were swept away by the water. All the chiefs looked at the narrow shore and the steep Qingyang Mountain, and were a little daunted. Commander Miao pulled out his pistol again and said loudly to the opposite bank: "The 7th Battalion has all started to cross the river, and after coming over, they are still covering in the back, and the others will give me the head to climb the mountain." He continued: "We have only one way, retreat to the south to increase the pressure on the main force, and retreat to the west, we have two legs, and we can't outrun the four legs of the devil and the wheels of the car." Listen up, the devil is already rushing here, which of us will go to that Liang Valley first and live. ”
While he was like a soldier, he climbed hard with his hands and feet, and said to the bottom of the mountain: "Okay, Battalion Commander Mao, lead the 7th battalion, hurry up and climb." "The 7th battalion also turned two legs into four legs and climbed on. There were quite a few seriously wounded, and when they saw that they would drag down the troops, they all jumped into the river again. Qingyang mountains and rivers, with a pop of water, sent away those heroic spirits.
The devils who rushed out of the West Gate, at first saw the 233rd Regiment wading across the river, and they were still amusing them, thinking that they had no way out. When I saw that they were all climbing the mountain, they all rushed towards them as if they were flying, and they shot as they ran. It's just a bit far away and out of reach of bullets. Motegi, who was standing outside the west gate, saw that the soldiers were struggling to run, and he understood that it was early spring, and the fields were a little soft. At this time, it is a horseback ride, and it is not easy to chase. He beckoned, called the chief of staff of the Takahashi Brigade, Kazuki Iso, and said, "Kazuki Osa, your artillery, don't fire a few more cannons, let them run away to work." "Kazuki Iso's Osaku is bitter that he is newly transferred, and Takahashi is injured again and is transported back to Chifeng. Without an order, he didn't dare to use the cannon without authorization, and the bombing of the West Gate just now was just a cannon, and he was reluctant to call the shots.
Motegi couldn't take care of this, he raised his saber and said to Hatomasa: "Hatosa Osa, this is an extraordinary time, I order you, quickly, open fire...... Otherwise, your head moves. He also made a slashing motion. Then he looked at Xiangyueji viciously, does that mean you dare to say a word?
The dove was really helpless, so he had to quickly run to the front of several cannons that were dragged to the west gate, and said: "Target, the defenders of the branch who are fleeing in front of Qingyang Mountain, give me a blast." "Before the devil rushed to the river, the shells had already flown to Qingyang Mountain, and the 7th battalion at the back was blown up by the shells one after another and had nowhere to hide. Tired lives were instantly torn apart by shells, and some were gone. As the shells continued to explode, the shattered crumbles rolled down the hill. The flesh and blood of the heroic soul have become one with them. The cyan noodles prove the sun and the moon, like a solidified anti-Japanese gunsmoke.
Motegi was relieved, but dissatisfied with the shelling in front of him. He said to Jigu: "The remnants of the branch have crossed Qingyang Mountain, and my fourth brigade will intercept them from the west, and there is a ...... in the ground" Jigu looked at the sun, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already past four o'clock, and said: "General, it's getting late, it's better to camp first, wait for Kamemori Toru to replenish the troops tomorrow, and we will also inquire about the direction of the withdrawal of the main force of the 117th Brigade." The one who has crossed Qingyang Mountain is not. ”
Motegi disagreed with his statement and commanded the devils to kill in the direction of Xishanzui, and he thought of intercepting the 233rd Regiment in the west of Qingyang Mountain.
Li Pi and others, who fled to the mountain behind Wanghugou (the mountain in front of Shaoguo Street), saw the devils in the mountain and drove westward, so they all ran down the mountain, entered the small city, and began to put out the fire. When the devil burns the house, he rolls the kang into a roll and sets it on fire from the bottom. Li Pi commanded the others to sweep along the house to remove the confiscated kang. They rushed back in time and really saved many houses from burning.
Morning, March 16, 1933. The remnants of the 4th Motegi Cavalry Brigade and the Takahashi Artillery Brigade, which were camped in Chaoyang, began to have breakfast. Motegi began to arrange to erect a monument to Chief of Staff Umei in the east of the village to commemorate it. After eating, Motegi convened a joint meeting of the two brigades to study how to find the 117th Brigade and fight to the death. In view of the fact that they had just chased to Shanzui yesterday, gunshots rang out in the area of Huwanggou in the southeast, which affected the speed of the imperial army. When Kazuki Iso Osa heard the gunshot, Ma ordered Hatoma Osa to retreat to protect the cannon. Twitter also suggested dividing the troops and refusing it. It was still Motegi Laodao, and he listened to the wind for a while, and a military officer Ono recognized that it was not a gunshot, but like a firecracker. When they drove over from the mountain again, there was still a 233rd regiment, and they didn't even look at it. Therefore, today he still wants to hear everyone's opinions. However, there was no clue, and some people said that the imperial army should not advance faster anymore, because they heard that Feng Yuxiang's anti-Japanese allied army had already pointed to the east.
At this moment, the sentry escorted in a man. Motegi looked at him, dressed in a blue cotton robe, with a large waist and a round waist, heavy eyebrows and a square face, and an air of revenge between his eyebrows. Based on his knowledge of China, Motegi judged that this person must have intentions. Then he asked, "Where do you work?" This person smiled flatteringly and said: "My name is Du Qingyun, Weizigou people, I can help you intercept that group of southern army ......" Motegi shook his Danhu and said with a smile: "Roar, do you know, what kind of work do you do?" The person who came did not show weakness, and said: "What's wrong with being called a traitor?" They killed my whole family and set me down on my house, I am not a traitor, how can I take revenge? ”
