Huairen County.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague virus, all the surrounding areas of Datong have been blocked, and all the surviving people have been transferred to several surrounding towns and counties and the vast countryside.

After preliminary statistics, more than 8,000 infantry of various divisions and regiments of the Reading Army were infected with the plague virus, of which the direct death toll reached an astonishing 6,000 people.

For this reason, Zhang Mingyu was grieved, more than 6,000 lives were all died in this way, they did not die on the battlefield they were proud of, nor did they die on the road of indomitable charge, but unjustly died in these inconspicuous but very hateful viruses. It can be said that all the soldiers who succumb to the death will not be blind, even if they fight to the death with the bayonet and the little devil on the battlefield, it is more pleasant than this way of death.

As Qi Laoqi said, if you can kill a few more dogs before you die, then death will be blind.

The more than 6,000 people who died in battle were all elite infantry of the first and third divisions, which can be said to be the backbone of Zhang Mingyu, plus the losses in the previous stage of the Datong Campaign, the first, third, and two elite infantry divisions lost nearly 10,000 people. Recruits are easy to recruit, but it can be difficult to train them to become an iron-blooded veteran with rich combat experience.

But Zhang Mingyu had no time to hurt at this time, because there were still a lot of headaches in front of him at this time, first of all, the food and shelter of the people in Datong and the surrounding areas needed to be provided by the Reading Army, although Zhang Mingyu now has a lot of assets in Europe and the United States, but it will take time to replace them with food, flour, medicine and other materials.

In addition to the problem of food and shelter for the people, there is also the problem of disinfection and disinfection around Datong, although the Soviet Union and Germany and the national political axe have sent medical teams to assist, but these medical personnel are undoubtedly too busy to be busy.

Coupled with the cold winter wax moon, all the household items such as quilts and other cold materials in the people's homes are also in short supply. And many people are sick from the cold.

In order to allow the people to survive the winter safely, Zhang Mingyu ordered the Arsenal Branch Quilt Factory to step up the production of quilts and cotton clothes and other cold materials, the farmers in the base area are very kind, they learned about the situation of the people of Datong, they have offered their own cattle wool in the hope of being able to make wool coats and other winter materials to help the people of Datong survive the winter.

Some people also voluntarily signed up to join the quilt factory to help produce quilts, cotton clothes, cotton hats and other materials. The entire base area suddenly set off a production frenzy.

After learning of the situation, students and businessmen from other parts of the country also donated money and materials to support the suffering people of Datong, hoping to help them survive the cold winter safely.

In addition, Zhang Mingyu also asked Du Yue to purchase a large number of leather clothes and quilts and other materials in the Soviet Union, which were continuously transported to the base area of the Reading Army through the Siberian steppe, and then transferred to the Datong disaster area.

In addition to the resettlement of the people of Datong, there is another problem that puzzles Zhang Mingyu, that is, the selection of a cemetery for the 6,000 soldiers who died in battle.

After receiving Zhang Mingyu's notice, several division commanders and regiment commanders soon walked into the temporary headquarters one after another. After everyone sat down, Zhang Mingyu took the lead in speaking: "Brothers, I came to you today, there is nothing else, I just want to discuss with you about choosing a cemetery for the six thousand brothers who died in battle. Tell me if you have any good suggestions. ”

As soon as Zhang Mingyu finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, and the entire headquarters fell into silence, but it was Niu Tiangui who took the lead in breaking the short silence, he stood up and said: "Old regimental leader, why don't we take the brothers who died back to Ordos and bury them and the nine thousand brothers who died on the edge of the Yellow River last time, so that the brothers can rest together with their comrades-in-arms forever." ”

Ushida Guiyi said, and several regiment commanders of the first division also nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. ”

Just when Zhang Mingyu wanted to nod his head in agreement, a regimental commander of the Second Division suddenly stood up and said, "Military seat, I know that there is a place that is most suitable for burying the fallen brothers. ”

Zhang Mingyu hurriedly asked, "There?" Let's hear about it. ”

"Thirty kilometers south of Huairen County, there is a famous place! The name of this place is Golden Beach, and I believe everyone has heard of Golden Beach. The regimental commander replied.

"Hmm!" Zhang Biao nodded and said: "Legend of the Golden Beach Song and Liao In the battle around the Golden Beach, the King of Liao had a bad heart and pretended to invite the King of Song to Liao Ying to hold the "Double Dragon Meeting", in a vain attempt to defeat all the monarchs and ministers of the Song family.

In order to ensure that the Song King quickly and safely evacuated the dangerous area, Yang Ye asked Dalang to pretend to be the emperor Zhao Guangyi, and ordered Erlang Yan'an, Sanlang Yanding, Shilang Yanhui, Wulang Yande, Balang Yanshun and other accompanying protection, and brought Liulang Yanzhao and Qilang Yansi to protect Song Jun.

At the Shuanglong meeting, Da Lang shot the king of Liao Tianqing with a sleeve arrow, and when Liao Chen saw this, he immediately ordered an ambush to surround all the military generals of the Song family who went to the banquet. After a vicious battle, Shiro and Hachiro were captured, Da Lang, Erlang, and San Lang were killed in battle, and Saburo died the worst, being trampled into meat by a chaotic horse on the barren grass beach.

It is said that the place where San Lang died that year was the perennial grass beach in the south of Yanfengying Village, which is now three miles west of the Golden Beach. Now the grass grows tall and lush, and the old people say that it is the result of the watering of Saburo Bi Ware.

Besides, Liulang opened the way in front, and after Yang Ye and Qilang broke off, the father and son fought hard, and finally made the King of Song break out of the siege and return to the Song camp safely.

After Liulang properly settled the King of Song, he turned his horse's head and entered the siege to find his father and seventh brother, but all three were besieged, but the Liao army flocked to the Golden Beach and the Two Wolf Mountain. Qilang was ordered by his father to go to Yanmen Pass to bring rescue soldiers, Pan Renmei announced his personal vendetta, and tied Qilang under an old pine tree on the grounds that Qilang had escaped from the battle, and ordered the sergeant to shoot arrows to death.

Although Zhao Guangyi, the king of the Song Dynasty, was saved, only Yang Liulang survived in the end when the seven sons of the Yang family went out, and Yang Ye and the other six sons died on the golden beach. The extremely tragic heroic feat of the Yang family army caused a sensation all over the world, and the Yang family was full of loyalty, in order to protect the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the Central Plains from war, several generations have succeeded each other.

The original inconspicuous place name of the First Battle of Golden Beach has been passed down through the ages with the British name of Yang Jiajun. ”

"Well, burying the dead brethren on the golden sand beach is indeed the best choice!" Lai San also nodded.

Everyone also nodded in agreement, seeing that everyone was meaningless, Zhang Mingyu stood up and said: "Then it's decided, Biaozi, tomorrow you will lead someone to dig the graves of the brothers, and the day after tomorrow I will personally see off the brothers!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Biao and the others agreed loudly, and then stood up and left one after another.

???????????????????

Taiyuan, Shanxi.

It is called the Military Garrison Command.

Ishihara had arrived in Taiyuan by plane from Beiping two days earlier, because the base camp of the Yue army had decided to take advantage of the loss of the strength of the Reading Force and immediately launch an attack on the Reading Army, in an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Reading Army.

To this end, the base camp of the Yue Army decided to take the North China Front Army as the main force, as well as the 10th Army, a total of eight infantry divisions, a heavy artillery brigade, and a flying regiment, with a total of more than 100,000 people, under the unified command of Ishihara Wan'er, the former deputy chief of staff of the Yue Army, to launch an all-out attack on the Reading Army.

It was an attempt to completely eliminate the Reading Force of the National Revolutionary Army led by Zhang Mingyu and completely sweep away the henchmen of the Imperial Army.

At this time, more than 20 generals of all sizes had gathered in the Taiyuan Garrison Headquarters, including lieutenant generals and major generals. As a staff officer shouted, "General Ishihara has arrived!" "All the generals of the army stood up in unison.

Ishihara's small eyes became a line, and he smiled with both hands: "Everyone, please take a seat!" Then he sat in the first place.

Ishihara first looked around at the generals present, and then stepped forward and said, "Everyone, the order of the base camp must have been known to everyone here. This time, we faced an extremely powerful Chinese reading army, and their commander was an extremely cunning Chinese fox. Therefore, I hope that you will unite and work together to eliminate the great troubles of our Empire, and to cut this hateful person who has tarnished the image of the Empire several times. ”

"Hayi!" A lieutenant general said: "Ishihara-kun, let's talk about your combat deployment, I say that this imperial army is invincible in the world, and this time I will definitely be able to eradicate the hateful Zhinayu army in one fell swoop!" ”

"I want the West!" Ishihara Wan'er picked up the command pole and turned around and walked to the hanging map, pointed to the map and said, "Since our opponent is extremely cunning and the combat effectiveness of the Reading Force is also extremely strong, I have decided to concentrate my superior forces to destroy it!" Strive to wipe it out in Datong, Shuozhou and other places in one fell swoop. The specific operational deployment is as follows: the 5th and 20th divisions stayed in Shanxi, and the 6th, 9th, and 114th and 18th divisions of the 10th Army set off from Xinzhou to attack Ningwu! The 11th Division served as a reserve division. The Heavy Artillery Brigade Flying Corps fully assists! ”

"Hay!" All the soldiers stood up and bowed their heads.

???????????????????

Thirty kilometers south of Huairen County, on the golden sand beach.

The more than 6,000 soldiers of the Reading Army who died in battle were about to be buried here, and after a gunshot, Zhang Mingyu shouted loudly: "Buried!" ”

The ashes of the fallen soldiers were placed in the dug graves, and then the soldiers began to bury the earth.

Zhang Mingyu swallowed a little hard: "Brothers, may you have the spirit of heaven to guard this land, protect the villagers and elders here, you will always be admired by the world, and you will be immortal!" ”

I don't know who started the head, but every soldier present sang that exciting military song, and the wolf smoke rose, and the country looked north???????
