"The Japanese are lighting torches in the dark night, for fear that we won't be able to see this telegraph line or what! What the hell are they trying to do, get nervous? ”

Luo Minglei, the commander of the independent battalion, heard the report of the scouts and showed a look of surprise.

"Pull out the wires hidden in the ice and snow on the surface of the river and put them over the Jiujiang River; - Such a stupid act, but the Japanese army is obviously not stupid, but why did they do such a stupid thing? ”

The climate in Nanyang is warm all year round, so that the soldiers of the Nanyang anti-Japanese army who went into the deep mountains and old forests outside the pass are very fortunate.

Although the military jacket and military boots and cotton gloves are fully armed, the hands, feet, faces, ears and wheels are still covered with frostbite, which is unbearable to see.

Deputy battalion commander Huang Bojie took off his dirty and broken gloves, and roasted his hands full of frostbite and yellow water on the bonfire, which was very enjoyable:

"Do they think that pointing at these five Japanese troops, at a distance of nearly five miles from the Japanese position, will prevent us from destroying their telegraph lines? You must know that they clearly know that there is a battalion of our anti-Japanese army that is outside the pass. ”

"Then wring them off; Surround the point to send reinforcements, come to a wave to extinguish a wave, that is really enjoyable! ”

Li Yuanyang, the commander of the first company, was full of fighting spirit.

"I'm afraid that if you go and cut the telegraph line, he won't answer it; To put it bluntly, the shallots cleaned up the tofu and gave it to us for ,—— to hang. ”

The deputy company commander of the company, Shi Weicheng, who was born in the old Xiucai, was taking off his shoes, and he was inhaling directly from a few frostbite that had not yet flagged on the roasted slices of his big feet.

"Youpeng, an old bastard in Shanxian County, wants to cut off the telegraph line!"

Thinking of the fact that the independent battalion saw the Japanese army laying telegraph lines before, and the commander-in-chief came over and ordered that it should not be destroyed, Luo Minglei immediately guessed the Japanese army's attempt.

He scolded and roared: "These grandsons, do you want to use our independent battalion as a gunman?" ”

"The commander-in-chief did not let us destroy the Japanese army's telegraph line, just so that Yama Prefecture Youpeng could receive instructions from the Oriental side, and now Yama County Youpeng is doing this to cut off their contact with the Oriental side through our hands."

Huang Bojie said in a deep voice: "Then he can pretend not to know, and carry out this war completely according to his mind and without interference." ”

"I'm in the groove, the Tao in here has to go around the head with the eighteen songs of the mountain!"

The commander of the third company, Kang Zhenglin, who was born in the artillery department of the Martial Arts Academy, said loudly: "Why don't you destroy these Japanese soldiers, and don't cut their telephone lines?" Angry at this old dog in Shanxian County. ”

"Haha, you're so bad!"

A group of officers from the independent battalion all laughed and scolded Kang Zhenglin for being a bad car.

"Wu Junma—""

Luo Minglei ordered Wu Junma, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon: "You reconnaissance platoon send a few scouts, enter the customs from the ninth gate, and send the news to the commander-in-chief; The telegraph line on the river, too, for me to keep an eye on. ”

Shanhaiguan, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In the early morning, the fire in the main city of Shanhaiguan finally stopped completely, and Liu Kunyi ordered all his troops to enter the main city immediately and clean up the city.

The seriously wounded soldiers of the three cities outside the Guan, accompanied by medical guards, were carried into the Guannai by carriage and sent to the Jinmen Military Station.

For the soldiers who died in battle, according to the will file left by each person before.

Those who are nearby and want to return to their hometowns will be escorted back to their hometowns for burial.

The rest of the soldiers who died were sent to the pass and temporarily placed in a quiet valley away from artillery fire by the Shihe Reservoir.

He will be buried on the southern slope of Horn Mountain.

Now that the war is tight, the anti-Japanese army has to recruit a large number of peasants from Yongping Province, make simple coffins, and go up the mountain to dig graves.

Fortunately, the people of Yongping Mansion heard that they were making coffins and digging graves for the military masters who died in battle, and they didn't pay attention to the taboo of the New Year, so they rushed to do their best.

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

Youpeng in Shanxian couldn't bear it anymore, and tried to send telegrams to Mukden, Liaoyang, Andong, and Yizhou respectively, asking if they had found traces of the Lushun breakthrough cavalry.

The cities quickly called back, saying that everything was as usual, and there was no trace of the Qing army.

Youpeng of Shan County had a gloomy face, and he and a group of staff officers stared at the map for a long time, but they did not come up with a convincing inference about where this group of cavalry had gone.

Moreover, what made the friends of the county even more unhappy was that the telegraph line was still smooth.

Are the anti-Japanese soldiers who hid in the mountains and became mountain rats blind?

I was still frightened by the bravery of the empire, and I didn't even dare to attack the section of the river guarded by five soldiers!

And on this morning, He Changying, who received a report from the independent battalion, was shocked to know that Youpeng, a crazy horse in Shanxian County, was trying to get rid of the reins of the Japanese army base camp and wanted to break through the southern invasion in a desperate way.

He Changying immediately gave an order to the independent battalion, requesting that there was no need to ensure the smooth flow of the Japanese telegraph line before the fireworks were sequenced and launched in the northern wing city.

The third day of the Lunar New Year.

The court's reward message finally arrived.

He Changying, Li Jingfang, Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, Xia Qingyun and other generals all have generous rewards.

Wuling wears Lan Ling, Lan Ling changes Hua Ling, and rewards Guoyong Baturu for the title.

Jiang Shunfa, Tao Weiquan, Li Dashan, Liu Yongbiao, Sun Xiangdao, Liang Yongyi, Fan Wenli and other generals who died in the war all had heavy rewards and returned to their hometowns for burial.

The rest of the generals in the Guan, such as Liu Kunyi, Wu Dacheng, Tang Renlian, Wu Fengzhu, Lian Shun, Bai Ji, etc., are all encouragements.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

On the morning of the same day, nearly 2,000 people of Yongping Mansion were gathered to make it day and night, 1,063 rough coffins, and 1,063 tombs, which were completed in a hurry.

At this time, the low shrubs on the southern slope of the Jiaoshan Cemetery, which were used to burn the frozen soil and dig graves, had been cut down.

What remains on the mountain are some hundred-year-old pines.

Pavilions are like covers.

When He Changying was about to go to the Jiaoshan Mausoleum, Chen Fenglou, the general of the Ming Army, led two battalions of 500 cavalry Qinghuai horse teams, and arrived in a hurry all the way.

So the cavalry of the two battalions of horses, and nearly 2,000 soldiers and officers of the three cities who had quietly entered the pass, came to the quiet valley by the Stone River.

The soldiers, the officers, carefully put the fallen soldiers in the coffin, and then put the ink on the nail.

Carry the coffin, go up the hillside tombs on both sides, and then fill in the earth for burial.

was busy until the afternoon, and all the soldiers and officers, including He Changying, whose forehead was swollen and still had not subsided, were exhausted and collapsed.

Many soldiers sprained and fell during the difficult climb.

But no one has a word of complaint.

Everyone's eyes were blood-red, and they were full of anger through gritted teeth!

We are proud of you, we are one in life and death, and we will never forget! ——We will continue to follow your unfinished footsteps, unfinished business, continue to move forward, no one can stop our pace, we will be overwhelming! ——Expelle the Japanese and establish an ideal Qingming Taoyuan world! ”

"Expelle the Japanese and establish an ideal Qingming Taoyuan world!"

"Expelle the Japanese and establish an ideal Qingming Taoyuan world!"

A roar all over the valley.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Then, a salvo of nine rifles in a row, echoed over the valleys, reservoirs, mountains.
