Zhu Hongxun is a native of Jilin, born in the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), successively studied in Nankai Middle School and the Army Martial Arts School, and later participated in the army of the Feng warlord, because of a considerable degree of education, it can be regarded as rare in the army at that time, so he was promoted very quickly, and by the time of the Great Wall War of Resistance in 1931, he had achieved the high position of the commander of the 103rd Division. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The battle of Lugou Bridge broke out, Zhu Hongxun had a premonition that a big war was about to start, and several times he asked the army commander to fight, hoping to lead the troops to leave Wangdu and go north to resist Japan, but he was rejected by Wan Fulin, who was bent on preserving his strength, until he received an order from the Nanjing Military Commission, Wan Fulin had no choice but to send him to lead his troops from Wangdu to support and respond to friendly troops.

Zhu Hongxun was overjoyed, immediately boarded the train, and rushed to the front line in Cangzhou. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, the 29th Army retreated first, Zhu Hongxun was full of ambition, but there was no place for it, he could only use the training of soldiers as a way to vent, for a time the 103rd Division could be regarded as unlucky, the division commander personally supervised the formation, and no one dared to steal and play tricks, one by one. However, what is surprising is that the concentrated training has not had the desired effect at all, and after more than 10 days, the troops are still slack, as if they were addicted to smoking.

Zhu Hongxun was half dead in anger, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that most of his subordinates were veterans who had been in the army for many years, and no matter what you said, their lips were scorched, but they couldn't be blown by the eight winds, and they sat upright on the purple golden lotus! But this appearance is okay in normal times, but once it is on the battlefield where the devil's bayonet is red, how can you get it?

Every time Zhu Hongxun thinks of this, he feels that one head is three big, and he always feels that he is not half sure about the battle he may face. Sometimes I comfort myself: I heard that the devil is very powerful, but he has never touched it face-to-face, it can't be someone who has the heart to brag in order to deliberately evade responsibility, right? I don't believe that the Japanese are invulnerable!

It was in this mentality of suffering from gains and losses that the 103rd Division to which he belonged received an order from Wan Fulin, the commander of the theater and directly under him, and clearly informed him in the order that the 103rd Division led by him and Feng Zhanhai's 91st Division were temporarily under the unified command of the former enemy headquarters in Qingxian County, and they would be rebuilt after the battle.

In the telegram of less than 100 words, Wan Fulin clearly informed Zhu and Feng that Tong Linge could not come to the battle due to illness, and it can be seen that the Qingxian battle was mainly to disturb the enemy; Once there is disharmony, 'Bertin and Shoushan's second brothers have the right to make decisions on the spot, and everything is important to the survival of thousands of brothers in the 53rd Army!' ’

Zhu Hongxun was like watching his chief's thoughts, and after reading it, he circulated the telegram, looked at Feng Zhanhai, who was confused on the side, and asked with a wry smile: "Brother Shoushan, Shou Shuai's meaning is obvious, you see?" ”

Feng Zhanhai is a native of Liaoning, a typical Northeast man, born of five big and three coarse, although he did not have a very systematic education like Zhu Hongxun since childhood, and is a graduate of the famous Nankai Middle School, but he has been in the army since he was a child, and because of his uncle's relationship (his uncle is Zhang Zuoxiang, one of the generals of Zhang Zuolin), he has also studied in the Northeast Martial Arts School, which is considered a halfway monk.

After reading the message, he said hesitantly: "Tong Jiesangui is sick? Didn't you hear the wind beforehand? Hey, Bertin, you know that you have a good brain, you say, Tong Jiesan wouldn't have deliberately avoided the war, right? ”

"Isn't that a sure thing?" Zhu Hongxun glanced at the other party, as if he was a little ashamed that the other party reacted so slowly: "I didn't expect that the famous Tong Jiesan is also afraid of death!" ”

"So, what are we going to do?"

"No matter what it is, meet Zhao Sunsin first, and listen to what he has to say!"

Qingxian is a small station on Jinpu Road, there is no formal waiting room at all, not even a railway station building, and a limited number of railway staff usually work in a low-rise residential house; However, since the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, the situation has changed slightly -- the railway is the main artery for transporting troops, materials, and other combat necessities, and even a small marshalling station like Qingxian has begun to attract attention.

In recent days, the atmosphere has become more and more tense, especially after the troops directly under the 103rd Division drove into Qingxian, there were countless soldiers with loaded guns on the streets, which frightened the people into a hurry, and even lowered their voices as low as possible, for fear that they would say something wrong and anger these Qiu Ba masters.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the train from Baoding drove into the station, Zhao Dengyu, He Jifeng and others walked out of the carriage, Zhu Hongxun and Feng Zhanhai stepped forward quickly and saluted: "Zhu Hongxun, commander of the 103rd Division of the 53rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army (Feng Zhanhai, commander of the 91st Division), has seen Chief Zhao!" ”

Zhao Dengyu returned a military salute and shook hands with the two of them: "Bertin, you and your brothers have worked hard. This time, the elder brother rushed thousands of miles to Cangzhou to support the friendly army, and Zhao and the brothers of the 29th Army were very fond of Brother Zhu! ”

"General Zhao is too polite, but it's a pity that he got the news too late, and he didn't have the honor to kill the enemy side by side with General Shunchen."

"Brother Burtin, don't worry, aren't we going to kill again? Don't worry, there are days when you go into battle to kill devils - I'm afraid you'll still be annoyed. Zhao Dengyu joked with a smile and said to Feng Zhanhai: "Pusheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Yes." Feng Zhanhai said with a smile: "In the 20th year of the Republic of China, he and the chief fought the Japanese invaders on the front line of the Great Wall, and General Zhao's heroic posture of loyalty and courage always lingered in Feng's mind. In this Qingxian operation, I also asked Chief Zhao to give advice. ”

Zhao Dengyu nodded, looked left and right, and the commanders of the various units were standing in front of the carriage, ready to wait for the military seat to leave, and then arrange for the soldiers to get off the car. Zhao Dengyu has been in the army for many years, and he is very sympathetic to the hard work of his subordinates, and said: "Let's get out of the station first, if there is anything, go to the headquarters to say." ”

So Zhu Hongxun and others were like stars holding the moon, surrounded by Zhao Dengyu and left the railway station and went straight to Qingyunguan, which is located 20 kilometers west of the county seat. It is said that here is the place of seclusion after Lao Tzu abandoned the official travel, here to preach the scriptures, save the suffering, the people gather and live, gradually become a village, named Daodaozhuang, to the Yuan Dynasty, there is a Taoist master settled here, and everywhere to turn the edge, built this Qingyun Temple. The Taoist temple covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, and in this small Qingxian County, it seems a bit noisy.

Zhu Hongxun gave a brief introduction to Zhao Dengyu and He Jifeng in the car, and the latter was stunned for a moment and said: "Why did you choose the front finger in the Taoist temple?" Won't it hinder the practice of those monks? ”

"Oh, this is also please rest assured, this time against Japan, Brother Pusheng and I were still worried about where to choose the headquarters, the old Tao in the Taoist temple took the initiative to find me, and told us that the Bixia Nunnery, the Temple of Our Lady of the Five Dragons, and other places not far from the Taoist Temple are all public property under the Guanxia, and these places were built with great care, and the building is very solid, if we are in need, we are willing to dedicate it, thinking that it is military. Not only these two places, but also the Taoist temple itself, can also be temporarily used as the location of a military hospital. ”

Feng Zhanhai also said: "Yes, Chief Zhao, I and Brother Bertin have gone to see it, that old Taoist didn't lie to us, whether it is the Taoist temple or the other two, one is built of Qingtiao stone, which is very reliable, and the Taoist temple occupies a large area, and the ear rooms and supporting rooms on both sides are readily available, we think, why don't we comply with the invitation and temporarily set up the military hospital?" ”

"Is it too far from the front line? If the brothers on the front line of the horse factory are injured and have to travel all the way back here for treatment, is it not urgent? (To be continued.) )
