At noon on the last day of the 21st year of the Republic of China, the long-lost sunlight broke through the thick clouds, and everything on the earth covered in silver was illuminated particularly dazzlingly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A two-kilometer-long march of nearly 10,000 horses slowly marched south from the south of Butterfly Ditch, a row of incense was still burning in the low concave shelter of the Butterfly Ditch battlefield, and rows of newly built graves were erected in the trenches that Butterfly Gang had dug deeply, and 2,194 soldiers who had died had been hurriedly buried and buried in the ground.

During the burial of the remains and simple sacrifices that lasted for more than two hours, the three special service battalions of the 44th Division hid on the high ground on both sides of the three-kilometer road to the north, and twice wiped out the cavalry reconnaissance teams sent by the Japanese army, and only four lagging Japanese soldiers escaped on horseback.

All of them shrank into Chaoyang City...... After receiving the urgent report, the commander of the 8th Division, Nishi Yoshiichi, hurriedly summoned his generals to analyze the enemy situation, and finally decided to send a brigade under the command of the 31st Wing of the 16th Brigade and Regiment under the command of Masasa Sato to rush to Butterfly Gang, and the two cavalry squadrons took on the heavy task of forward reconnaissance and early warning, once the enemy's main force was discovered. That is, a defensive position is set up on the spot, and the command headquarters will quickly come up with a combat plan according to the enemy's specific situation.

Although it was only 22 kilometers from Chaoyang City to Butterfly Gang, when the cavalry house was accurately shot and killed by cold shots, a cautious and anxious Japanese army brigade still did not arrive after walking for three hours, and when the Japanese cavalry squadron rushed to the Butterfly Ditch battlefield at the risk of death. It was already empty, except for rows of graves standing silently on the mound of new earth, and three incense candles still wafting green smoke in the cold wind.

Nishiyichi, who was working with his subordinate general Sakyu Shang's military intelligence, received the flying report, was stunned for a while, and then sighed long. Heartfelt emotion: "Gentlemen, I have to admit that our opponent is an army worthy of respect, not only with superhuman courage, but also with excellent intelligence and endurance. ”

The reactions of the various ministers present at the meeting were mixed, some admired and some disdainful, some angry and some worried, but none of them dared to show it presumptuously in front of the extremely prestigious coach Nishi Yoshiichi.

Shi Haoyi nodded silently, unconsciously looking at the south-facing gate, Gu Changfeng's face appeared in his mind again, as if he clearly saw Gu Changfeng's tightly closed lips under his firm nose. There was also a hint of coldness flashing in the slender Danfeng eyes.

Because the Chinese air force bombed the barracks and warehouses of the main force of the Japanese army on the eastern front in the airspace of the Shanhaiguan line with an unexpected number, determination, and courage, they fearlessly launched a fierce air battle with the superior air force of the Japanese army, relying on the excellent performance of advanced fighters. They constantly appeared in strange formations and attacked the Japanese air convoy and escort fighters that had been on bombing missions and had never encountered trouble since the invasion of Northeast China, and achieved the excellent results of shooting down and damaging 17 Japanese fighters and losing only four of them, causing heavy losses to the Japanese air force piloting the fighters captured from the Northeast Army. As a result, the Air Force Command in China was furious from top to bottom, and while aggressively concentrating its forces to retaliate in the eastern airspace, it sent a telegram to the headquarters in Japan to dispatch an air force equipped with advanced fighters to the northeast, and on the other hand, it sent an urgent telegram to the navy, requesting that two aircraft carriers be sent to help in the war.

Nishiyiichi's Western Front was not able to receive assistance from the air force, and even the desire to obtain a few reconnaissance planes to assist in the search for the main force of the squadron could not be satisfied, forcing the arrogant Japanese Army to rely on its own strength to face everything. This is one of the important reasons why Nishiichi and his generals are unable to take bold action. The brave and cunning 44th Division and the 2nd Independent Division of the squadron that seized the opportunity and never let go left too deep memories for Nishi Yiyi and his generals. The successive blows and unprecedented losses were enough to make this arrogant and arrogant Kwantung Army put away its contempt and had to be cautious and cautious.

Chief of Staff Kobayashi Kakutaro frowned slightly. After thinking carefully about the map for a long time, he finally pointed his finger at the noisy Laqin on the map, and the generals standing in front of the large map with swords on the side felt worried and puzzled, and Kobayashi Kakutaro's unhurried voice rang out:

"Basically, it can be concluded that the enemy army, which still has about 12,000 men, is entering the terrain of Laqin, which is difficult to terrain, and the destination of its march can only be here. Frankly, after reading the series of intel I just obtained, I was still very hesitant; The first one that welled up in my heart. The question is: what does this stubborn enemy want to do?

"If they want to retreat to Guannai, why don't they take the direction of Jianping and Lingyuan, which is more convenient and still in the hands of the Northeast Army, instead choose the southerly Karaqin with rugged roads and extremely complex terrain? If they still want to engage our army, why don't they retreat west to the direction of Ningcheng and Chahar, which our right flank must occupy, and wait for an opportunity to launch their usual surprise attack on our army? From a strategic and tactical point of view, they can only achieve the greatest threat by retreating westward, unless they give up resistance and choose to retreat. However, they chose to go to Karaqin, could there be some huge conspiracy in this? ”

After thinking about it, most of them agreed with Kobayashi Kakutaro's analysis, and then expressed their opinions one after another, but after arguing, no consensus was formed.

The careful Nishiyichi finally turned to Koji Shi, who had not spoken, and asked expectantly: "Ishikawa-kun, you are familiar with this squadron and their coach, tell me what you think."

"Hey!"

Shi Haoyi took a step forward, pointed to the first line of Karaqin on the map, and said extremely calmly: "They will not give up, although the retreat to the south of Karaqin is getting farther and farther away from the direction of the attack of our main army, but once our three-way army is launched as a whole, Lulaqin will become the combination of our western front troops and the central line troops, and they can rely on the rolling mountains and endless hills and forests of Lulaqin. Take advantage of their well-trained means of mountain warfare. Choose to attack any part of my two concubines' forces, and then play a role in surprise and affect the overall situation.

The generals were all stunned when they heard this, and once again stared at the map to think about Ishikawa Koichi's words.

Major General Mishin Suzuki, commander of the 4th Brigade of the main force on the left flank, glanced at Hiroshi Ishikawa

Fear, Leng Yiheng said disdainfully! Prosperous! What kind of influence does it affect the situation Oh I want them to attack our department, my officers and soldiers of the Fourth Brigade want to see what is so good about this squadron that is so praised and feared by Ishikawa-kun? .

Koichi Ishikawa did not retort, but chose to remain silent. The Imperial Japanese Army's tradition of seniority is very clear that Koichi Ishikawa understands very well, not to mention that it is the most meritorious and greatest Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Army, which is praised by all the military and civilians in Japan as the most meritorious and greatest Kwantung Army, and in front of a group of veteran generals, Koichi Ishikawa knows how to behave so as not to make enemies everywhere, so that he can work side by side with various departments to fight hand in hand.

As soon as Nishiyi saw that the always arrogant Suzuki Mijin's attitude towards Koichi Ishikawa was so rude, and he was about to scold him twice, he saw the staff officer hurriedly come in. From the pale and solemn face of the staff officer, it was realized that there was bad news coming again.

The staff officer stepped forward and reported with some sadness: "The field hospital in Dabanzhen, east of the Linghe Iron Bridge, was attacked by more than 3,000 people from the squadron, and the garrison brigade Honda Shaozuo rushed to help!" ”

"What"

Xiyi's eyes widened and he was surprised, and the generals in the hall were in an uproar, and suddenly remembered that Xiyi had ordered to cut off the heads of the Chinese officers and soldiers who had died in the battle of Butterfly Valley, and to open the stomachs of the Chinese officers and soldiers, so as to vent their anger and anger the other party, and couldn't help but secretly worry about the more than 3,700 brave warriors who were bravely wounded in the empire who were sent to Daban Town to be sent to the rear by rail for treatment.

The chief of staff, Kobayashi Kakutaro, looked coldly at the bearded Suzuki Mijin, with an extremely disdainful expression, meaning that you weren't arrogant just now, how the hell did you let the enemy pass through your defense area quietly?

While the Japanese Western Front Headquarters in Chaoyang City was panicked and shouted incessantly, Gu Changfeng sat peacefully on the captured Oriental horse, watching Fu Guanjie take the lead with a stingless face, leading the brothers of the main force of the 132nd Brigade to rush into the enemy's position, and use submachine guns and light machine guns to launch a frenzied massacre of the Japanese army that collapsed after only 15 minutes of resistance.

Chief of Staff and Deputy Division Commander Yan Yaohuan's telescope has been following Wang Xulun, who has been enraged by the atrocities of the Japanese army, his eyes are red and his mouth is full of blood blisters, and he led the most elite division of the special brigade of 300 brothers, only after a mortar salvo and a charge, he easily tore through the hastily organized defense line of more than 100 Japanese troops in the west of Zhenxi, more than ten brothers with captured katana swords followed closely behind Wang Xulun who wielded a four-foot ghost head knife, in an arrow-shaped formation, quickly pierced into the Japanese army, and more than ten killing gods passed, blood splashed, wailing and screaming endlessly, groups of Japanese soldiers who had no way to escape in the face of angry and ruthless fighting, there was no one general at all, the heads of the Japanese army flew up one by one, and the special elites who followed up around shot with incomparably accurate shots, all the Japanese officers and soldiers in front of Wang Xulun and others who tried to shoot back were beaten to the point that their heads were bursting and falling down in pieces.

Under the sun, the flickering sword light and the rising blood mist were particularly eye-catching, and the smoke of gunpowder scattered by the non-taro was mixed together, dyed black and purple. Yan Yaohuan, who saw the rear immediately, the guide Lu Yanqing beside him, and a group of staff officers of the two divisions were stunned, and their hearts were beating wildly, but none of them made the slightest sound. Everyone clearly knows that the reason why the boss Gu Changfeng personally led 3,000 elites to travel 38 kilometers in six hours, evading and killing the Japanese army all the way, and rushing here with many sentry posts and patrols rushing here, is for this moment, in order to tell the Japanese invaders and all the armies in the world: The An family army will never tolerate anyone who slaughters their brothers unconventionally. The blood is returned, and the retribution is fast!

In the long waiting bungalow at Zhenbei Station. Bursts of screams, pleadings, and the sound of knocking over tables, chairs, and instruments rang out, Japanese officers and soldiers who were slightly injured shouted and screamed, struggling to stand up and look for weapons, dozens of Japanese female nurses and more than 20 doctors watched in despair as the closed windows were shattered by the rain of bullets, and in the face of the biting cold wind that suddenly blew in, they saw the officers and soldiers who fell outside, and saw the countless Chinese officers and soldiers wearing white cloaks and holding machine guns and submachine guns that kept firing at high speed. The angry screams that shook the sky instantly made most of the doctors and nurses paralyzed in fright.

The dense gunfire became louder and louder, and more than 100 officers and soldiers who rushed into the door of the waiting room and jumped into the room through one window after another tightened the trigger and launched a merciless killing of the Japanese troops who had no resistance under the black pressure, and the dense bullets made a soldier of today tremble, and the howl shook the sky, and the thick smoke of gunpowder and the blood mist stirred up by patches made the entire narrow room suddenly darken, but none of the brothers showed mercy to this, because they were the first troops to rush to the Butterfly Ditch battlefield. At that time, they saw a hellish scene. Seeing the familiar brothers who were frozen and blue without their bodies, seeing a pair of eyes that could not be closed on the lonely heads, and seeing the internal organs gushing out of the chest and abdomen of the dead brother ** had formed hard ice cubes, many people cried to the ground at that time, and were heartbroken, so at this moment, they would never be merciful, full of grief and burning anger, which had turned all the soldiers into beasts.

Under the platform, the wagons of the seven sections for the wounded and sick were burning, and the officers and men of the 132nd Brigade and the 1st Battalion, who had completed the task of killing and setting fire, began to guard the front and rear to clear the remnants. At this moment, there was already a river of blood on the platform, and the corpses of the wounded Japanese soldiers were under the elite of special operations led by Wang Xulun. It was incomplete, and there was no longer a single moving Japanese soldier or moving object in sight, and the five hundred elites were out of breath and obeyed the order to stop, and soon in the roar of the captain Colonel Qi Xiuping, they looked for combustibles and prepared to set fire.

At the main entrance of the waiting room, Fu Guanjie, the commander of the 132nd Brigade, whose face was splashed with blood, stared at the more than 20 surviving female nurses who were escorted out and were almost paralyzed. The first battalion is on alert, and the second battalion and three Zhuo are responsible for setting fires, and all must be evacuated within ten minutes! ”

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Changfeng of Tugangruo in the south of the town took one last look at the sky-high fire in the north of the town, and without waiting for the panting brothers under his command to rush out of the stone archway in the south of the town, he turned his horse's head and slowly descended, and left along the south path without looking back.
