Early the next morning, the 2nd Regiment held a funeral for the martyrs who died in the battle outside the grove at the entrance of the village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although the battle was completely victorious, after all, the devils took advantage of the favorable terrain, and hundreds of soldiers of the two battalions of the second regiment sacrificed nine soldiers when they attacked Niangzi Mountain in order to cover the retreat of the brothers of the special combat team.

The tombs of the nine martyrs are located next to the empty tombs of Yuesong and Camp Commander Leng. The tombs of the martyrs are very simple, a mound of earth, a wooden row, under the mound is the remains of the martyrs, and on the wooden rafts are the names of the martyrs. In the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were countless Chinese heroes and daughters who fell under the guns of the enemy, their lives were so small, but they were so glorious; Their graves are so inconspicuous, yet they are remembered by thousands of people.

The brothers of the guard platoon of the Second Regiment, the special combat team, and the special operations team of the National Army stood in three rows and respectfully saluted the sacrificed comrades-in-arms.

Danfeng picked a few bouquets of wildflowers, the regiment commander and the political commissar each took a bouquet, Yuesong and the battalion commander Leng each took a bouquet, and the four of them put down a bouquet of wildflowers exuding the smell of earth in front of the tombstone of each martyr with a solemn expression. The soldiers standing in front of the martyrs' tombs took off their military hats and stood silently.

At this time, just as the brothers of the National Army and the New Fourth Army, these good Chinese men, Chinese soldiers, and comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives against the Japanese invaders, a group of people came from afar, and the guards reported that they were sent by the Fifth Theater Command of the National Army, headed by Dong Zhiguo, Colonel and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Fifth Theater Command of the National Army.

When Commander Song and Political Commissar He heard this, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.

With a white cloth tied on his arm, the battalion commander Leng walked to Yuesong's side and whispered to Yuesong: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, brother, the comers are not good, there are military commanders in it, you'd better learn to be obedient later, those people are not as good as me to support you." ”

Yue Song looked at the line of people wearing national army uniforms from far and near, and said: "I am the one who cares about him, whoever rushes in front to fight devils, I will rush in front of whom." ”

While speaking, Deputy Chief of Staff Dong and Regiment Commander Song had already come over. Regiment Commander Song happily walked to the front of the team and said to everyone: "Let me introduce that this is Colonel Dong, deputy chief of staff of the Fifth Theater of the National Army, and Colonel Dong is here this time because our New Fourth Army Special Combat Team and the Special Operations Team of the National Army have won major victories in the anti-Japanese struggle during this period of time, and have completed many arduous and glorious tasks. As he spoke, the regiment commander took the lead in applauding, and the soldiers all applauded together.

Colonel Dong beckoned, and everyone stopped applauding. Colonel Dong walked to the front of the team, saluted the military, and then said to everyone: "Brothers, this time the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, the National Army and the New Fourth Army fought together and achieved remarkable results. ”

The fighters applauded.

"Okay, now, on behalf of the Fifth Theater Command, I announce the commendation order.

Commendation order, the special task force of the national army, went deep into the hinterland of the Japanese army, blew up the largest oil warehouse in central China, dealt a heavy blow to the mechanized troops of the Japanese army, and laid a solid foundation for our army to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army in the next step. Major Leng Kuren, the leader of the special task force, made outstanding achievements in battle, recorded a first-class meritorious service, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

In order to commend the heroic deeds of all the brave soldiers, the brave men of the New Fourth Army Special Combat Team are specially awarded a second-class meritorious service, a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and 20 silver dollars. Major Luo Yuesong, the captain of the special combat team, was even more outstanding in battle, recording a first-class meritorious service, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel; after returning to the establishment, he served as the commander of the special service battalion of the 45th Theater Command, responsible for organizing the special service battalion, selecting outstanding personnel in the whole army, and training special operations.

The Fifth Theater Command of the National Army. Everyone's applause to all the warriors! ”

The fighters applauded. This was followed by the awarding of medals, followed by the issuance of silver dollars to the members of the special combat team. After the distribution, Colonel Dong said, "Lieutenant Colonel Luo, please come out of the ranks." ”

"Yes!" Yuesong replied loudly and stepped out of the ranks.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo, you were originally the battalion commander of the major of the National Army, because your unit was heavily damaged on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, and you yourself were separated from the large army, so you served as the captain of the special combat team in the New Fourth Army. Colonel Dong said to Yuesong.

"Report sir, although I am a major in the national army, I am already a person who has died once, and now I am fighting devils in the special combat team of the New Fourth Army, which is very convenient, so I want to continue to stay in the special combat team, please approve!" Yuesong didn't think about it, so he said what he thought.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo, don't forget, you are an officer with national military status, and a military talent sent by the state to study abroad, how can you change your military status casually?" Colonel Dong said with a serious face.

"Report to the sir, I will immediately write a written application for withdrawal from the national army." Yuesong said.

"Presumptuous!" Colonel Dong scolded loudly, "Can the national army be withdrawn at will?" After you survived, not only did you not return to the establishment in time, but served in the New Fourth Army, the commander's department did not blame the past, but also entrusted you with important tasks, you don't know how to lift, quickly pack your bags, change into the uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the national army, and follow me back to the headquarters. ”

Colonel Dong's adjutant took out a brand-new lieutenant colonel military uniform from his backpack and respectfully handed it to Yue Song with both hands.

Yue Song glanced at it and said, "Report to the chief, I am determined to stay in the special combat team, please do it!" ”

Colonel Dong was about to leave, but when he saw that Yuesong was still talking, he immediately turned around, pointed his finger at Yuesong and said, "You don't know whether you are dead or alive, I can tell you, when I came, but I still had an order, you don't know whether you are alive or dead, I will take it out and show you." Colonel Dong said to the adjutant, "Take it out, take out the third order." ”

The adjutant took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to Colonel Dong. Colonel Dong took the order and said to Yuesong: "You come here, come and have a look!" ”

Yuesong walked over, Colonel Dong took the order in his hand, Yuesong looked sideways at the order, and the order read:

"Execution order, there is a major of the national army, Luo Yuesong, in the battle of Dabie Mountain, improper command, resulting in the death of all 300 strong men of the three battalions of the headquarters, after Luo Yuesong escaped by luck, he did not return to the team for a long time, not only disregarded his status as an officer of the national army, joined the New Fourth Army without authorization, and held an important post in the New Fourth Army, but also did not accept the new assignment of the commander's department, seriously violated military discipline, and was executed on the spot after the special military court of the Fifth Theater of the National Army ruled on the verdict."

After reading the order, Colonel Dong hurriedly leaned into Yue Song's ear and said to Yue Song: "Lieutenant Colonel Luo, the national army attaches great importance to talents, and now is the time to employ people, Lieutenant Colonel Luo is a rare special talent in the national army. ”

Yue Song opened his mouth and said: "What kind of special talent, I am not the same devil in the New Fourth Army, why do I have to return to the National Army?" To put it bluntly, the Commander's Department is afraid that if I stay in the New Fourth Army, I will drive away the devils in the future, and I will become your opponent. ”

"Presumptuous, how did you talk to the chief?" Colonel Dong immediately reprimanded Yuesong with a straight face.

"Isn't it? Am I wrong? If you go back, you will be entrusted with a heavy task, and if you don't go back, you will be shot on the spot, you are really ruthless, have you taken into account the interests of thousands of Chinese people? The devil is coming, you only care about retreating and retreating, and it is not the national army that sticks a knife in the devil's heart, but the New Fourth Army, where you can always do it with the devil's real sword and real gun, and here you can help the people anytime and anywhere, and don't let the old white surname be bullied by the devil, what are you going to do when you go back? Will I go back and retreat with you? Yuesong began to get annoyed, and said a lot in a row.

Seeing that Yuesong was starting to lose control of his emotions, Camp Commander Leng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yuesong and said, "Yuesong, you don't have to say a few words." ”

Yue Song shook off the battalion commander Leng, pointed at Colonel Dong and said, "I won't go back, I won't go back to work for your lords in the chief's department, I'll see what you do to me!" ”

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, I'll ask you one last time, will you ever return to the National Army?" Colonel Dong's face turned green with anger, and he angrily pointed to the tip of Yue Song's nose and said.

Yue Song slapped Colonel Dong's hand open, and said: "Lao Tzu really won't go back, if you want to kill or chop, Lao Tzu is just more than a hundred catties, whatever!" ”

"Come on, carry out the order, and arrest this kid for me!" Colonel Dong took a step back and ordered loudly.

"Yes!" An officer who came with Colonel Dong took out a pistol and came up with a few soldiers with submachine guns to take down Yuesong.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Battalion Commander Leng hurriedly stepped forward to intercede with Colonel Dong.

Colonel Dong didn't listen to Battalion Commander Leng at all, pointed at Yue Song and said, "There is no military discipline in the eyes, there is no commander in the eyes, this is worth it, take it!" ”

Several soldiers came forward to grab Yuesong, Yuesong raised his leg is a kick, one soldier was kicked to the ground by Yuesong, and several other soldiers came up together, Yuesong punched his left and kicked again, several soldiers were not Yuesong's opponents at all, and they were all put on the ground in a blink of an eye.

At this time, only a gunshot of the "horn" was heard, Yue Song flashed, the bullet grazed Yue Song's neck and flew over, Yue Song felt a little pain in his neck, reached out and touched it, there was blood on his hand, Yue Song's wildness broke out at once, Yue Song pulled out the gun, and turned his head to see that it was the major who came with Colonel Dong The gun was fired, without saying a word, he raised his hand to shoot three shots, "Horn Horn Horn", after the gunshot, the major fell in a pool of blood. Yue Song killed the major, and scolded: "Dog of the military commander, you are fucking scum of the national army, dare to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will let you go into the coffin." Yue Song scolded and spat on the ground.

The people present were confused by Yue Song's action, Colonel Dong looked at the major lying on the ground, convinced that he was dead, and immediately said to the adjutant beside him: "What are you waiting for, shoot and kill the murderer!" When the adjutant heard this, he took out his pistol and said to the soldier with a submachine gun beside him: "Shoot!" Strafing! ”
