Bye-bye.

This novel, from January 1, 2015 to April 2017, lasted nearly two years and four months, with more than 700,000 words. Completed in his spare time, written in a hurry, writing and skills, feeling immature, and causing discomfort to readers and friends, I am very uneasy. The full story is written about the events that happened in more than 20 days from February 26 to March 16, 1933, but it had to be condensed into the 41st Army of Sun Dianying of the Kuomintang and resolutely went to Chifeng to resist the Japanese. In particular, the 117th Brigade, after the main force withdrew, fought wits and courage with the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Motegi Cavalry, and fought a bloody battle in Rehe; Later, on the orders of Zhang Xueliang, he turned to the west and retreated. In the case of the enemy's strength and my weakness, on the way to retreat, the battle was still heroic, and its feats were earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, and should be remembered in history.

With such a long length, historical facts are a big problem. The structure of the text is all historical facts, including some important places and events, but some of the passages have been added. Speaking of historical facts, some people may ask, why did Sun Dianying, a warlord and tomb robber general, go to resist Japan? Here is a special time and space, that is, on September 18, 1928, the Japanese army launched the 9.18 incident. After the 9.18 Incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army attacked the city in the Northeast, the Northeast Army withdrew into the Guannei, and the Japanese army pressed forward in North China step by step. In this context, there is a call for a national day of confrontation. The four northeastern provinces, including the Communist-led Anti-Japanese Federation, have no less than 300,000 people. The flame of resistance against Japan was blazing. Although Sun Dianying is a bandit, bandits also have times when they are angry.

Under this unanimous call to resist Japan, there was another thrust, which pushed him and the 41st Army to Chifeng. These people are a group of communists, including the early leaders of our party, such as: Chen Jinghu, Han Linfu, Xuanxiafu, Nan Hanchen, Li Xijiu, Wang Yilun and so on. These people, one is out of the party's policies and strategies, the other is out of national righteousness, and the other is to take advantage of Sun Dianying's confusion, he wanted to clear the charge of robbing the tomb general.

In the process of searching for historical materials and preparing for more than ten years, a historical figure surfaced, and he was the early leader of the Communist Party, Han Linfu. Although he died young, his contribution and influence on the Chinese revolution in that era of white terror should be written about. In his early days in middle school in Tianjin, he was a leader; Organized the establishment of the student progress organization "New Life Society" and the Xiangming Society. On the second day of the May Fourth Movement, Tianjin students formed a three-person group of students in solidarity with Beiping, and he was one of them. They went to Beiping, where they approached then-President Xu Shichang and demanded that the Chinese delegates refuse to sign the Paris Peace Conference. Han Linfu gave full play to his sharp teeth and did not give up, and finally the president ordered the secretary to send a telegram to the Chinese representatives. After graduating from Peking University, he followed Li Dazhao and devoted himself to the revolution, and has been the person in charge of the Inner Mongolia People's Revolution. He participated in the first and second congresses of the Kuomintang and was twice elected as a member of the Central Executive Committee. He tried to launch peasant uprisings in various parts of the north, and was later invited by Zhou Enlai to serve as the director of the political department of the Higher Prisoner of War Political Training Course at the Whampoa Military Academy. Because of his ability and influence, Chiang Kai-shek hated him to the core, and asked for his head for 500,000 yuan. After leaving Guangzhou in a hurry, he originally wanted to return to the north, but later turned south and went to Nanchang to participate in the August 1 Nanchang Uprising. In the uprising, as the leader, he was elected by the delegates and awarded the seal to the commander-in-chief He Long...... Mr. Sun Yat-sen unfortunately passed away in Beiping, and before his death, he personally drafted a will for Sun Yat-sen, and participated in his aftermath.

There is also a historical fact, that is, when the 41st Army was preparing and marching northward, the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao personally sent a large number of cadres to the ministry. Under the guidance of the Central Committee and Chairman Mao, the Communists, mainly Li Xijiu and Han Linfu, recruited a large number of students and teachers to join them on the way to Tongxian and Rehe to form the Cadet Corps. The cadet corps played a great role in enhancing the combat strength of the 41 st Army. To this day, some old Communist Party members admit that they were secretly developed by Han Linfu at that time.

The original intention of writing this novel is to forever commemorate the heroes who spilled blood and fought against the Japanese, especially the heroes who stayed in that land forever. But the original motivation also came from a story told to me by the author's mother - "Huang squad leader catches a horse". It was the spring of 2000, and my parents had just entered the city with us, and one day my mother suddenly remembered the story his father had told him. From that day until I started writing, fifteen years of preparation, during which my mother passed away in 2011. I fought at night, and finally wrote a book, and if my mother knew underground, she should also smile in Jiuquan. I would also like to thank the editors of the website, as well as my eldest son, Zhao Chenguang (aka: Wang Ji), for his dedication.
