November 24, noon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the sound of the "woo" whistle, a military train pulled by a steam locomotive and carrying more than ten stuffy tank cars and flat cars slowly drove into Beijing Railway Station.

On the platform, Feng Guozhang stood at the front with his waist straight, followed by the adjutant and the guards. This time, since it was he who suggested to Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff, that the 16th Army be transferred to Korea to fight, then as an old man who used to be in Beiyang, he had to explain some private words to Cao Kun.

In the white steam, the train slowly stopped, and although the doors of the carriages were constantly being opened, the soldiers did not come out of it. Only the last carriage, jumped out of a line of pickets. The picket soldiers did not run around or make noise after getting off the train, but quickly came to the platform and lined up at the door of each carriage. Hundreds of people could hardly hear any sound except for footsteps, and such strict discipline made Feng Guozhang nod his head when he saw it.

"Report, Deputy Chief of General Staff Feng, Commander of the Sixteenth Army Cao Kun reports to you!" Feng Guozhang was looking at it intently, but Cao Kun's loud voice suddenly sounded next to him. It turned out that Cao Kun had already stepped out of the carriage he was in at this time and came to him quietly with several officers.

Feng Guozhang was in a good mood, and smiled when he saw this: "Zhong Shan, you have a good soldier." Compared to before, there is an almost reborn change! ”

"Vice President Feng has a good reputation, and you know that this is the result of the General Staff Officer's training of us in the past six months!" Cao Kun is usually a big man, but at this time, he is naturally unrestrained when he speaks in front of the old chief.

Feng Guozhang nodded slowly, thinking deeply in his heart. No one knows better than him what the shortcomings of the 16th Army, which is based on the Beiyang Army. In terms of bloodiness and not being afraid of death, it is believed that these northern men will not be inferior to other units of the People's Army, but in terms of tactical concepts and the equipment of the troops, they are more than a big step behind. Therefore, when the troops were reorganized at the beginning, after the 16 th Army was equipped with various types of light and heavy machine guns, mountain artillery, and howitzers, the General Staff Headquarters not only conducted a three-month training for its original officers, but also transferred hundreds of officers and noncommissioned officers from other units. Therefore, after making up for this shortcoming, the 16th Army only trained strictly for half a year, and became an elite division in the People's Army.

"Zhong Shan, do you know why I suggested to the General Staff that your unit be transferred to fight in Korea?" After a pause, Feng Guozhang pulled Cao Kun away a few steps, avoided several officers next to him, and asked seriously.

Seeing Feng Guozhang like this, Cao Kun also had a stern face, lowered his head and thought about it, and then replied: "The old chief's meaning should be to let the brothers use practical actions on the battlefield to win the approval of Chairman Xiao Mubai!" ”

"It's related to that!" Feng Guozhang frowned slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "But more, I hope you can lead the 16th Army in North Korea to correct our old Beiyang." ”

"You, you mean??" Cao Kun was a little puzzled.

Chairman Xiao said that a good system can make bad people become good people, and a bad system can make good people become bad people. The experience of our Beiyang Army over the years is not an accurate interpretation of these two systems? Feng Guozhang looked at the straight picket soldiers standing in the distance, shook his hand and said: "All kinds of things in the past, don't mention them, after all, it has become yesterday's yellow flower." However, now that the Sino-Japanese war is in full swing, in the matter of being loyal to the country and the nation, if our old Beiyang brothers do not show positive points, in case they are said to be positive in the civil war and negative in the foreign war, it will be a shame that can never be washed away! ”

"Please also rest assured, even if my Cao is unbearable, I can still carry it in the national righteousness. This time the 16th Army went to Korea, and it will never embarrass our old Beiyang brothers! Cao Kun groaned for a while when he heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said. At this moment, he commensurate Feng Guozhang with his words, which shows his determination.

Feng Guozhang glanced at Cao Kun, whose face was not very good, smiled slightly, and said no more. At this point, he believes that Cao Kun has already understood.

・・・・・・

North Korea, Suncheon.

The sky after the snow was as dignified as lead. In the cloudy sky, there are snowflakes blown up by the wind from time to time, fluttering down one after another.

On an unnamed high ground near the Unan-ri, King Kunihiko of Kurenomiya is leaning against a large tree and is cross-legged, wiping his beloved ancestral artifact, a chrysanthemum saber from Emperor Meiji. The handle of this knife is inlaid with a chrysanthemum motif made of gold to symbolize the Japanese imperial family, and it is particularly dazzling against the surrounding snow.

These days, King Kunihiko Kurenomiya led the remnants of his army from the Yalu River to the Pyongyang area, and the Chinese army was constantly blocked along the way. Although his own losses were also extremely heavy, and the number of troops had dropped from more than 1,000 to about 400, he was now in the vicinity of Shunchuan City, which was a rare victory. Of course, it was not necessarily a victory, because half of the aggressive Chinese army company that he ambushed was surrounded on a high ground on the left side of the road.

After a long time, King Kunihiko raised his head and ordered a young man standing in front of him: "Miyamoto Shaoza, you will personally lead the team to attack!" ”

"Hay! Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely take down the Shina army on the small plateau! With the usual coldness and resoluteness of a Japanese officer, Shaozo shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Japan, onboard!" ”

Miyamoto was a samurai who was ready to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor, and he never took his life seriously. Therefore, now when facing the soldiers on the high ground, who are ready to die and struggling, he has made the last preparations.

Without artillery support, relying only on the cover of a few heavy machine guns, the Japanese infantry began to rush over, struggling to launch a back attack on the small high ground.

At this time, Wu Tailai, the commander of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 160th Regiment of the 54th Division, who was trapped on the high ground, also poked his head out of the mud and snow. He is the former commander of the Fengtianhou Road Patrol Team, and now the son of Wu Junsheng, the deputy commander of the 18th Army, although he was ambushed by the Japanese army because of carelessness this time, but he has rich combat experience, after the battle started, he did not panic because of this, but calmly commanded, not only led the troops to highlight the ambush circle, but also stuck to the high ground on the left side of the road.

Seeing that the dense Japanese infantry had appeared at the foot of the mountain, the signal soldier with walkie-talkies on his back next to him was constantly calling, but because the terrain and distance affected the signal, he could not contact the regiment headquarters, and Wu Tailai was also anxious. He waved his hand and shouted, "It's too late!" The brothers have all their firepower, and Lao Tzu will die here today! ”

Under his orders, the fighters quickly concentrated their light and heavy weapons on the positions and began to deal with the infantry onslaught of the Japanese. Everyone knows that Little Highland is now at its most dangerous moment.

Wu Tailai held his rifle, lay down in the trench and exhaled softly, and then knocked a Japanese soldier more than 100 meters away to the ground with two "pops" shots. The machine gunner near him, after seeing several Japanese soldiers not caring about the death of their comrades, trampling on the corpses of their comrades and starting to rush upwards, also hurriedly aimed the light machine guns they controlled at this side.

"Da Da Da! Da Da!! ”

Under the pressure of 30 rounds in a whole magazine, these Japanese soldiers were finally knocked to the ground. The Heavy was overjoyed, but he didn't want a bullet to pass under his steel helmet as he changed the magazine.

Without machine gun suppression, the position on this side will soon be broken through! Therefore, Wu Tailai didn't even have time to grieve, so he threw himself next to the machine gun, picked up the magazine and inserted it, and re-aimed at a Japanese soldier who pounced. This soldier was about to break through the position, and a barrage of bullets knocked him into a sieve.

After firing the only three remaining magazines in one go, Wu Tailai found that several places in the position had been broken by the Japanese army. Knowing the danger, he gritted his teeth and picked up his rifle and inserted the bayonet, and suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, get on the bayonet!" Drive the dog's Oriental devil down the mountain! ”

The shouts of killing suddenly sounded everywhere on the position, and one soldier after another, with bayonets in hand, rushed towards the Japanese troops who were more than twice as numerous as themselves like tigers descending from the mountain. In an instant, dozens of bayonets pierced their respective targets, blood seeped into the earth and turned into slush, and the entire small high ground was full of figures fighting each other, and the bayonets were out of stock! The butt is gone, with a fist! If you don't have anything, you can bite it with your teeth!

Wu Tailai's first opponent was a Japanese military Cao, he was not like other Japanese soldiers, who screamed endlessly, but held a bayonet without saying a word, and only stared at Wu Tailai in front of him with a pair of gloomy eyes. The two looked at each other, and after going around a few circles, Jun Cao became impatient, and with a "yah", he tried his best to stab Wu Tailai in the left rib. Wu Tailai's body did not move, but the butt of the gun in his hand was quickly picked to the left, and while knocking away the bayonet of Jun Cao, he quickly stabbed it with his backhand, which gave him a chill.

The Japanese soldiers who admired cold weapons were very keen-eyed, and when they saw that Wu Tailai, an officer, had stabbed over the famous military Cao as soon as he made a move, five Japanese soldiers immediately came up to surround him. The Japanese soldiers did not answer when they came up, but just kept stabbing the five bayonets like a marquee, and Wu Tailai was not allowed to slow down at all.

Wu Tailai stumbled left and right one after another, and although he overturned two of the Japanese soldiers, his right leg and left shoulder were also stabbed by the opponent and bled like blood. After pulling out the pistol, "popping" two shots to put the remaining Japanese soldiers down, and rushing to the side to shoot a Japanese soldier who was holding down his comrade-in-arms in the head, Wu Tai looked at the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who surrounded him again, and laughed instead of anger: "Haha, little devil, come on!" Grandpa, I've got enough of this today! ”

At the last moment, Wu Tailai raised his pistol and slowly aimed it at his temple, just as he was about to pull the trigger, there was a sudden burst of fierce gunfire and explosions at the foot of the mountain. When I turned my head to look, I saw that several tanks and armored vehicles were constantly attacking, starting with a bright red banner of "Bloody Pioneer Steel Seventh Company", waving in the wind.
