The "Manchurian Railway" to be eliminated by the 18th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is the full name of the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. It was a special Japanese company that existed in Northeast China from 1906 to 1945. Japan operates the core of Manchuria. At its peak, it held the equity of more than 80 affiliated enterprises. The South Manchuria Railway Company was once known as the "Japanese East India Company in China", that is, it carried out colonial aggression in the name of the company. Therefore, the Manchurian Railway is also known as the "colonial society".

At the beginning of its establishment in 1906, it acquired about 1,100 kilometers of railways. Beginning in June 1907, all the main and branch lines seized were changed to standard gauge, and the Yalu River railway bridge on the border between China and North Korea was built at the same time as the track change and the realignment of the Anbong Railway. Beginning in 1908, the second line of the line from Dalian to Changchun and Sujiatun to Fushun was built; At the same time, the port of Dalian was expanded on a large scale. In addition to owning the railway, it also has Manchurian railway annexes ranging from 16.7 meters to 3,000 meters on both sides of the railway, with a total area of 482.9 square kilometers. Since Japan obtained the right to garrison 15 troops every 10 kilometers, the South Manchurian Railway became the stronghold of Japan's mainland policy, and the governor of Kwantung, the governor of Kwantung, and the ambassador to Manchukuo were successively responsible to the Manchurian Affairs Bureau.

In order to plunder the resources of the Northeast, the members of the Manchurian Railway are exhausted and vicious. With the surrendered Northeast Army, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army quickly obtained a large amount of information about the Manchurian Railway. "This man is going to bully people!" This is the favorite saying of the Northeast Army.

"Then let's bully and bully them too." The comrades of the People's Internal Committee said as if jokingly to the former officers and soldiers of the Northeast.

"How?" The Northeast men expressed their puzzlement at this somewhat strange remark.

The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army must not mistreat prisoners, this is a discipline and a principle. There is no precedent for such a thing. But there are some things that must also be done, so the existence of defectors in the Northeast Army is very valuable.

"We're going to loot Manchurian now, and we need help from our friends in the rivers and lakes for some things." The comrades of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs also spoke quite clearly.

"Yes! Be! The officers and soldiers of the former Northeast Army nodded their heads very clearly when they talked separately, "Actually, you don't need to find any green forests, now that Fengtian has been lost, many brothers of the Northeast Army have nothing to eat, just look for them!" ”

After making preparations, the comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee also held a meeting, and the responsible comrades looked stern, "There are some things that we must do now, and if we want to investigate them, we will take responsibility." Should we discuss this matter in the military party committee? ”

The comrades were a little hesitant, Chen Ke's attitude towards the complete elimination of the Manchurian Railway was very clear, but this did not mean that Chen Ke openly supported the full-scale massacre of the Manchurian Railway, for the People's Internal Affairs Committee, in order to obtain confidential information, it was necessary to "put the Manchurian Railway members to death". This is really literal, and the Manchurian stronghold around this section of Panjin has been copied. The Japanese are very tight-mouthed, and these people really look down on the Chinese.

After the ordinary torture, they also shouted how the Great Japanese Empire would not let go of the People's Party. Later, there was really no choice but to skin a few stubborn Japanese devils alive in front of the Manchurian Iron members, and then scald them to death with boiling water. But he knows everything and speaks endlessly.

But by this time it was too late, and since these people had already seen things that they shouldn't be seeing, they could only shoot each guy in the back of the head after confirming that what they said was correct, and then send them back to Japan with a fire.

It's okay to do this once or twice once in a while, but you can't do it all the time. When the scale is about to be done, there will be people who will come out to do the dirty work, and the Internal Affairs Committee will have to find other "partners". But when this matter is brought to the party committee, it is extremely troublesome. The meeting of the party committee should be recorded, and it should not be recorded in the later records that everyone had a heated discussion on whether or not to punish the members of the Manchurian Railway, the extent of the punishment, and how to deal with the deceased who could not bear the punishment. The temper of the army, if you let him openly shoot millions of Japanese on the grounds of violating the people, the army will not blink an eyebrow, but the army will definitely not interfere in such secret activities. If the party committee gives a public veto, it will be troublesome.

The fact that the People's Internal Affairs Committee must obey the leadership of the Party and that the Party Committee cannot interfere in the investigation and arrest of the People's Party Committee does not mean that the Party Committee cannot deny actions of a non-disciplinary and security nature, and that without the support of the Party Committee and the troops, the People's Party Internal Affairs Committee is completely unable to take measures against the Manchurian Railway on its own.

After discussion, the comrades of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs decided to make this request at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee.

The number of members of the Standing Committee is much smaller, but in fact it is four or five people, including the commander and political commissar of the unit. Decision-making is efficient.

"We hope that the troops will not interfere with how those Manchurian members died." The comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee made their demands very bluntly.

After hearing this, the political commissar wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. After waiting for a while, he said: "After all, we have to leave a part of the Ming canonical punishment, and we also have to give a public explanation to the bullied masses." ”

The comrades of the other logistics departments and the general staff were very smart, even if they did not fully understand at first, after listening to the words of the commissar, they all understood. The chief of staff smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think it's appropriate." There is no such thing as an impermeable wall. ”

Seeing that the opinions were already so opposed, Mu Husan, who had been silent, finally spoke: "The information that those Japanese have is so important, right?" ”

"There is a lot of information about the situation in Japan, and the Japanese will not easily explain it. Anyway, the troops also shot them, so it is better to ask for more information. After all, there are still few sources of intelligence. Said the comrade of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs.

"Don't think about it so much. As long as we solve our domestic problems, there is nothing to fear from Japan. Mu Husan is very confident. Or rather, he himself did not approve of torture and death at all.

The comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee smiled bitterly, "Many members of the Manchurian Railway have been in Korea, and this time we have collected some information about Japan's implementation of land reform in Korea. There are a lot of details involved in this information. ”

The People's Party (KP) carried out land reform in the country, and after the annexation and occupation of Korea, Japan also carried out "land reform". Of course, Japan's land reform can be said to be completely contrary to the land reform of the People's Party. The People's Party eliminated the landlords and took public ownership of the land, the means of production. Japan, on the other hand, eliminated the native forces of Korea and used the looted land to create pro-Japanese landlords. Especially in the southern plains of Korea, where most of the Korean landlords were found, some of them supported the Japanese and some did not. Japan exterminated a large number of landlords who refused to destroy Korea, and distributed these lands to the Koreans who had defected to Japan. He also supported the pro-Japanese faction to occupy land in North Korea and crack down on dissidents.

"Naturally, this policy is extremely beneficial to Japan. The land could not run away, and without the support of the Japanese, these landlords could not continue at all. After creating this political inequality, a large number of Korean landlords had no choice but to jump on the Japanese ship in order to survive, and some speculators to develop their lives. After they owed a blood debt to the Korean locals, they had to fully support Japan and frantically suppress the resistance of the Korean people. The comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee explained this, and of course these explanations were also intended to show that the People's Party Internal Affairs Committee is by no means fond of indiscriminate killing, torture and killing, and there are unavoidable difficulties in its work.

After hearing this, those comrades who did not support this approach also fell silent. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army must enter the DPRK, and it is particularly valuable to collect more intelligence on the DPRK, especially on such interest groups within the DPRK. However, everyone also knows that Japanese devils will not confess easily. Moreover, the mistreatment of prisoners is not even a matter of principle that can only be done but not spoken. It's simply not something that can be done.

Mu Hu thought for a moment and then said, "Then that's it, you can pick 200 people to take away." The others were shot on the spot. And these 200 people can't be too famous, and the famous ones must be shot publicly. ”

"That's fine." The comrades of the People's Internal Affairs Committee did not have any objections, after all, most of those who could carry out these relatively confidential tasks sat in offices in the Manchurian Railway.

Once the decision had been made, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army began to move in full force. The first was to sweep all the Japanese garrison strongholds along the South Manchurian Railway, as well as various railway stations. These railway personnel are all technicians of the Manchurian Railway, and they must be cleared as much as possible. Without them, the railroad would not have worked. Of course, these people were also able to provide important technical information for the future Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's mastery of the railways.

The two divisions that had participated in the annihilation of the 20th Division were deployed in Panjin while hurrying to rest and recuperate. Two other divisions were thrown into the battle.

The first to be attacked was the Manchurian Railway Station of the Yalu River Railway. The cavalry units of the 18th Army, ignoring the enemy behind them, wore Japanese military uniforms and plunged straight into the railway bridge. The commander of the cavalry regiment on the march was a little worried about this, and he asked the political commissar: "I said, if we blow up the bridge, will the Japanese rebuild the railway bridge at any cost?" ”

The political commissar smiled, "If someone blows up the Yellow River railway bridge, will we repair it at any cost?" ”

This analogy is quite apt, and the commander of the cavalry regiment understood it completely when he arrived.

"Pick up the speed and move forward!" The regimental commander ordered.

The Yalu River Bridge in Dandong is an important transportation hub in Japan, which started construction in 1909 and was completed in 1911. Japan is guarded by garrisons all year round. This group of garrisons numbered less than 300, and although it was already known by telegram that the Japanese were at war with the Chinese army, they were not vigilant enough.

The Northeast Army is fundamentally vulnerable, and the news that it has captured Mukden has long been known everywhere. And the battle between the Japanese army and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is not mentioned. Not to mention the fact that Japan has been hit hard. Now that there were no more enemies in front of them, the Japanese defenders were completely relaxed. Seeing the brigade of "Japanese cavalry" coming on horseback, they did not have the slightest vigilance.

It wasn't until the horse team approached that the bridge guards felt a little serious. These "cavalrymen" wore army uniforms, but they didn't look like they were on horseback. This nondescript dress is very strange to these Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge. When the cavalry approached, the bridge guards stepped forward to stop these "Japanese cavalry".

When they got on the hook, the bridge guards were even more strange. Not to mention that the various equipment of the horses is obviously not the appearance of the Japanese cavalry, and the appearance and bearing of these people are very different from the hierarchical feeling of the Japanese army. However, although the characteristics of the atmosphere may be different in each country, the expressions that human beings show when they are surprised are the same.

Before the Japanese soldiers began to interrogate them comprehensively, they felt that the man led by the "Japanese cavalry" was suddenly murderous, and the man suddenly drew his saber and slashed at the Japanese in front of him.

After all, the army is an army, and the basic training of the Japanese army is not bad. Even though they were attacked by surprise and some people died quickly, the Japanese soldiers in the guard tower of the outpost still sounded the alarm urgently. Soon, piercing sirens sounded on both sides of the Yalu River.

After the commander of the cavalry regiment ordered his comrades to annihilate the enemy in front of them, he saw that the bridge deck in the middle of the bridge actually began to rotate slowly. It turned out that the Japanese troops on the other side of the bank found that the number of enemies attacking was huge, and they were afraid that they would not be able to resist it, so they simply moved the opening and closing bridge deck in the middle, which was originally used to facilitate the passage of ships, to prevent the enemy from rushing along the bridge.

Take a hard sip! The head of the regiment scolded, "These dogs are still clever!" "It was smooth sailing along the way, and I also made a camouflage, and God knows how it was discovered by the Japanese army. The head of the regiment was naturally not happy in his heart.

"The hot air balloon is ready to take off to observe, and the demolition team starts blowing up the bridge!" The regimental commander shouted.

The Japanese troops on the other side of the bridge had set up their weapons and sent telegrams to the infantry wings stationed nearby. If there were no problems, the Japanese infantry wing would be able to come to the aid in four hours at most. The commander of the defenders on the opposite side was glad and strange. Where did this enemy come from, although there were many of them, but with such a few men, it was impossible to occupy this bridge. Even if it is occupied, it will be besieged by the Japanese army. What exactly are they trying to do here?

Knowing that they saw some people laying explosives on the bridge, the Japanese army somewhat understood what this unit was for. Although it is inevitable that the bridge will be damaged to a certain extent, this bridge is made of reinforced concrete, and even if it is blasted with explosives, it is not so easy. Seeing a few people with cables tied to their waists and hanging down from the side of the bridge pier, the Japanese soldiers were anxious and angry. Those people made it clear that they were going to blow up the bridge piers. However, the Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge were a little surprised, those people did not carry a large amount of explosives, and the explosives carried by those bulging bags were absolutely impossible to blow up across the bridge.

"Shoot!" Even if the Japanese were surprised by the actions of the enemy who were attacking by surprise, they could not ignore it.

However, what stunned them was that the Japanese had not yet stepped forward to shoot, but they saw that the enemy on the opposite side had already moved a number of sandbags and built a protective fortress on the bridgehead that had been separated.

How do you blast a bridge when there are people? Are the enemies on the other side all fools? The Japanese thought.

However, since the enemy on the opposite side had already taken advantage of the fortifications, the Japanese suffered by being one step slower. The men who rushed onto the bridge were so hard of a head that they could not lift their heads from machine gunfire. Moreover, the bridge deck was hardened, and the bullets rebounded very badly, and the Japanese suffered a lot under the bouncing stray bullets, and there were considerable casualties.

And just as the battle began, more than a dozen small-scale explosions occurred on the bridge deck and piers. Due to the fortifications, the combat units at the bridgehead responsible for suppressing the Japanese were simply unscathed.

The commander of the cavalry regiment pinched his watch, and enemy reinforcements on the opposite bank of the Japanese army would soon arrive. If it takes so much effort to just blow a few small gaps in the bridge deck, it will be a big joke. After using plastic explosives, this blasting was to blow up a few gaps, and then stuff a large amount of explosives into it, and completely blow up several sections of the pier and the bridge deck at one time. It would be even better if they could build it next spring, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army would be able to fight along the Yalu River bridge to Korea.

But this wonderful expectation must be done only after the task at hand has been completed. And the unexpected miss allowed Japan to occupy the other half of the bridge. Time is getting shorter and shorter.

The cavalry commander of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was in a hurry, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side were even more anxious, they saw that after several small-scale blastings, a deep cut had been made on the bridge pier.

I saw that the guys who blew up the bridge piers tied pulleys to the railing of the bridge, and the demomen were completely dead, and after planting the explosives, they just pulled them up, and before they even reached a completely safe area, they began to detonate the explosives, and as soon as the explosives exploded, they immediately continued to fall and continue to lay them. "Knock those people down first!" The Japanese commander jumped to his feet and shouted to his subordinates.

"But we can't beat them on the bridge!" The subordinate explained.

"Then you all go to the riverbank and fight! Leave the enemy in front of you! The Japanese commander howled.

Seeing that the Japanese riflemen ran up the river bank to shoot at the comrades who blew up the bridge piers, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army on the bridge began to turn their guns and hit the enemy fiercely. However, the angle of fire at the bridgehead is limited, and the enemy will not be able to hit when he is hiding in the blind spot of shooting. The cavalry units fired heavily at the Japanese on this side of the Yalu River, and mortars immediately joined the fire. However, the enemy on the other side did not want to shoot at the cavalry units, but their target was the comrades who had planted bombs on the bridge of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. This purpose gave the Japanese troops enough places to hide. In those days, the range of a rifle was 800 meters, and a kilometer was normal. Several shooters hit a man suspended in mid-air, with an extremely high hit rate. The Demoman lost three of them.

The engineer comrades of the demolition team saw that the comrades who had been pulled up had been sacrificed, and their eyes were red when they boarded. The engineer commander shouted, "Party members, follow me!" "Seven or eight comrades came out at once.

The demolition commander turned his head to the comrade in charge of pulling the rope and said loudly: "If we go down and are killed, you put the rope away and don't have to pull it up again." We're not uncommon with those ropes! ”

The comrade who pulled the rope was stunned. If a comrade is injured, even if he is seriously injured, he may be saved if he pulls it up. This put the rope, and the comrade was seriously injured and fell into the water, then there was no hope at all.

Seeing the stunned appearance of the comrade pulling the rope, the demolition commander shouted angrily while tying a rope around his waist: "This Japanese reinforcement will come soon, if we don't finish the work quickly, how many people will we have to die?" If the bridge is not blown up, and the Japanese reinforcements come along the bridge, how many more people will we die? Don't talk nonsense, after a while you shout to count, from the beginning, you shout, I call back the same number, I can't count back, it means I can't do it. Put down the rope, and the next one will go up! ”

After saying that, the commander turned over and had already climbed over the railing of the bridge, and hung down with the explosives on his back.

As soon as he went down, the sound of Japanese rifle fire on the opposite shore rang out. The comrades on the bridge deck hurriedly shouted: "One! ”

"One!" Captain Demolition replied.

After a while, the comrades on the bridge shouted: "Two! ”

"Two!" There was another response from under the bridge.

The comrades wanted to poke their heads out to watch the demolition captain in action, but the enemy on the river bank shot desperately at the bridge, and everyone could only hide behind the railing, hiding in the mouth of the sandbag, and could not poke their heads out at all. Listening to the sound of gunfire everywhere, the comrades' hearts were as uncomfortable as stabbing with knives, but they were helpless.

When I counted twelve, there was a very unclear "voice, I have put the explosives on, and I will ......load it immediately" and then there was no sound.

"Company commander, company commander!" The comrades of the demolition team hurriedly shouted. But no matter how much I shouted, there was no response.

"Twelve! Twelve! Even though the comrade in charge of the rope knew that the demolition commander was already very lucky, he couldn't help but slap the bridge and shout hard. But there was still no response.

Another cadre of the demolition team had already tied the rope around his waist, he wiped away his tears, turned over and just crossed the railing, "Count like this!" With that, he went down the rope.

The Japanese seemed to have found a knack for shooting, and three comrades went down in a row, all of whom died as soon as they counted to five. The comrades on the bridge were already burning with fire and in pain. This time, in order to ensure the reliability of the explosives, safety explosives were used, and detonators had to be used to detonate them. Even if a comrade on the shore hit an explosive bag with a rifle, it was useless.

"Put on the steel armor of your cavalry!" The vice-captain of the demolition team shouted.

"That thing has limited protection!" The comrade in charge of putting the rope said anxiously.

"It's fine, as long as I can live long enough to plug a timed detonator in!" The vice-captain didn't think about whether he would come up alive or not.

The comrade in charge of the rope was stunned, but at this time he couldn't think so much, and he asked the comrades in the back to send the cavalry cuirass over. As soon as he picked up the three breastplates, he heard the comrade on the ground who was in charge of liaison with the hot air balloon shouting angrily: "The enemy of the brigade has been found in the distance opposite!" Half an hour at most! ”

"an X!" The head of the regiment scolded, "I'm so useless! Make-up attacks can also be seen! ”

The comrade in charge of the rope couldn't take care of it so much, and while he asked the deputy leader of the demolition team to put on a cuirass, he also put on a set for himself, and wrapped it in armor leaves in other positions.

There were four sets of pulleys. It's not that people don't want to put more, it's that there is not enough space. Although they knew that the comrades below had sacrificed, the rope was never released, and everyone still hoped that they could pull the comrades up, even if it was a body, and transport it back as much as possible. If the comrades were allowed to fall into the Yalu River like this, no matter how much they searched in the future, it would be impossible to find their remains. Not to mention, if these bodies were obtained by the Japanese, they were afraid that they would be brutally treated by the Japanese.

But now there was no time to think about this, gritted his teeth and cut the rope, and a moment later he heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water. The comrade in charge of the rope tied a rope to himself. Facing the surprised deputy leader of the blasting team, the comrade said loudly: "Let's go together, I'll block you." If I die, you use me as a shield. Say that you have to complete the task in everything, and you can't die any more of our comrades! ”

The deputy leader of the demolition team didn't say much, "Okay! One piece down! ”

The two men checked the rope and shouted, "One, two, three!" They climbed over the railing and fell down.

On the bridge and under the bridge is a completely different feeling, even if you know that the Yalu River is under your feet, you can see the river, but after all, everyone has a solid bridge deck under their feet, and when they are suspended in mid-air, everyone knows that this is completely different. The river below was rolling and flowing, the river breeze was blowing on the face strongly, and after a few more glances down, it felt as if the river was about to swallow itself and take it away, followed by a slight dizziness.

Before he could get used to the feeling, the enemy's bullets were already whizzing over. Before the rope man in front was shot, the demoman in the back shouted. "How's that!" The ropeman hurriedly shouted.

"Can't die! Keep falling! The deputy leader of the demolition team shouted through gritted teeth.

After a few more meters, the rope man felt as if he had been pierced by a pair of tongs on his left leg, and then his entire left leg was no longer strong. He subconsciously shouted, then clenched his teeth, and didn't want to make any more noise. When they decided to fall together, the rope crew's hearts were filled with great grief over the sacrifice of their comrades, and they were also moved by the revolutionary spirit of their comrades who regarded death as home. At that time, there was nothing to fear him about life and death.

But now for the first time, he knew that he was really dead! As if to prove this idea, a bullet concentrated the ropeman's left rib, and despite the steel armor inside, the bullet did not penetrate completely. However, the huge impact made the ropeman can't help but squirt out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the rope man seemed to hear the deputy leader of the demolition team behind him shouting, "Okay! The rope man's heart was relieved, and he knew that he had no strength left to continue controlling the rope.

At this time, the ropeman felt several more shots in the chest, abdomen, and legs, but there were previous wounds, and the pain was not so intense. It's just that my chest is getting more and more uncomfortable, getting more and more stuffy, and my ears are slowly starting to buzz. The rope man didn't know what was going on, but another thought crossed his mind, "Since you're dead, you have to let the deputy leader of the demolition team in the back stop getting hurt." Thinking of this, although the ropeman did not have the strength to turn his head to look back, he used all his strength to spread his limbs widely.

The comrades on the shore saw the strange posture of the rope man and did not understand it at first. But after a few moments, the ropeman's left arm was unusually twisted, and then half of the arm hung down at a ninety degree angle. Enemy bullets hit the arm he used to cover the Demoman behind him, breaking the bones of his arm entirely. It was such a simple cover, but it obviously saved the life of the Demoman behind him. And just when the comrades' hearts were in pain, they saw that the rope man had been hit by more than a dozen bullets in his body, and a red and white blood flower bloomed on his head. The dense bullets of the Japanese concentrated his rope crew.

It seems that the Japanese army also knew that something was wrong, and if it went on like this, the blasting was destined to succeed! They also went crazy and began to shoot fiercely regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one. On the contrary, this was an accidental collision, and some of the bullets concentrated the explosive packs that had been placed in the gap in the pier, and almost knocked the explosive packets out of the gap.

Seeing this situation, he simply grabbed the gap in the bridge pier and tightly pressed the explosive bag with the timing detonator inserted into his chest.

Although the regimental commander did not know who the current Demoman was, he already knew the Demoman's determination. The regimental commander shouted to the evil communicator: "Give a signal, let the bridge deck quickly install explosives, and then retreat immediately." After issuing the order, the regiment commander turned around and wiped his face with his sleeve, and only then turned his head and shouted to his comrades: "Prepare to retreat!" ”

The Japanese reinforcement wing could not be said to have arrived in time, and after receiving the distress telegram, this wing was immediately dispatched. It was supposed to be a four-hour journey, but it only took them three hours to arrive. When they rushed to the side of the bridge, and saw the "Japanese army" on the opposite bank retreating rapidly, the bridge body shook at first, with the sound of thunder, the wide bridge deck tilted like a toy, and then there was an earth-shattering loud noise on the bridge deck, and the solid Yalu River Bridge was dozens of meters wide A section of the bridge deck was broken into several sections, and it fell down violently, smashing up a column of water on the river surface. Although they were still a few hundred meters away from the broken bridge deck, the mist that splashed into the air flowed violently along the bridge deck and smashed into the water, blowing on their faces like cold autumn rain in the northeast.

The Japanese troops rushed to the bridge almost unconsciously, only to see that the Yalu River Bridge had collapsed a large part, and only half of the pier in the middle was left. Lone trees like broken reefs in the sea are in the rushing waters of the Yalu River. The huge broken bridge deck had completely sunk into the river, and there was no trace of it from the river except for the large whirlpools.

After killing all the Japanese troops, the cavalry regiment quickly retreated. It was a great victory, but not a single comrade smiled. The comrades-in-arms in the enemy's firepower, the comrades-in-arms who disappeared in the huge smoke and firelight, their figures are deeply engraved in everyone's minds. But it's not just sadness, it's something else that can't be said to be clear, but something beyond it.

After such a silent march, the troops finally reached a safe area. The regiment commander ordered the troops to stop. The comrades silently reined in their horses and dismounted in unison. Everyone knows what the head of the regiment has to say, and if he doesn't say something now, everyone feels that they will definitely not be able to stand it.

The regimental commander soon appeared on a small dirt slope in front of the troops, and he also dismounted, his face gloomy, and like everyone else, the expression was more than grief. "Comrades, we have sacrificed a lot of comrades today! We don't have to say how they sacrificed, we all saw it! Speaking of this, the muscles on the regiment commander's face trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Some comrades couldn't help but sobbed in low voices, and many more wiped their tears with red eyes.

"Comrades! Don't cry! Although the head of the regiment said this, his eyes were also red. After wiping his face vigorously again, the regiment commander said loudly: "Comrades, why is our military flag red? Because the red flag is dyed red by the blood of the martyrs. Seeing that everyone did not muster up momentum, the regiment commander shouted again: "Why is our military flag red? ”

"Because the red flag is dyed red by the blood of the martyrs!" The comrades shouted in unison.

"We will never disgrace this red flag!"

"We will never disgrace this red flag!"

Saying this, the regimental commander's chest rose and fell violently and fell silent again. However, under the watchful eyes of the comrades of the whole regiment, the regiment commander quickly clenched his fists and raised his arms, and he shouted with all his might: "Destroy the aggressors and liberate all of China!" ”

"Destroy the invaders and liberate all of China!" The comrades also roared. Although the cavalry regiment was not large, the resolute roar pierced through the air and clearly echoed across the field.

"Destroy the invaders and liberate all of China!"

"Destroy the invaders and liberate all of China!"

……

After this battle, the cavalry regiment of the 18th Army was awarded the collective first-class merit. And the two comrades who bravely sacrificed became the first two special combat heroes of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.
