In the headquarters of the Sixth Division, all the generals roared in unison, and Hisense's staff officer Beshi shook the side of Numoto Eumon, and respectfully presented an urgent telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters with both hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Itamoto Uemon subconsciously looked at the telephone on the table, and was stunned for a moment before remembering the section of the telephone line to Jinzhou that passed through the military camp in the east of the city. It had been blown up by a bomb dropped by an airplane, and the sappers who went to repair it did not recover so quickly. Itamoto Uemon took the message, read it carefully, slowly raised his head, and glanced at the lieutenant general of the hall one by one:

"General Muto personally called to inquire and asked me how my unit was progressing after a quarter of the thirty-six hours. Ladies and gentlemen, I am really ashamed of General Muto's inquiry! ”

The Kwantung Army Command issued a death order that 10,000 stubborn enemies of the Anjia Army must be annihilated within 36 hours with unprecedented severity, and his sixth division was the first to encounter the enemy and the first to report to the top, and it was also the first division to receive the order and was pinned on by the Kwantung Army Command and General Muto Nobuyoshi. The command decided to assign the 1st Combat Convoy of Captain Toshiyoshi Hyakutake to the 6th Division in order to increase the power of the attack.

However, now, before the 6th Division had started its action to engage the enemy, it first reported to the headquarters that it had been bombed indiscriminately by more than 20 planes of the Anjia Army, and that the interception position of the 45th Wing (Wing Commander Yingzhuan Ba Dazuo) in the direction of Baita had been blown up, killing and wounding more than 200 officers and men, and the enemy began to attack fiercely. The 23rd Wing (Wing Commander Shido Horyo Osa), which quietly came out of the East Bread, did not complete a third of the distance, and was also reduced by more than 300 people.

The figure reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters half an hour ago does not include the casualties inflicted by the stubborn enemy in the encirclement after the bombing by enemy planes and then the fierce attack on the Yingzhuan wing on the front line of the White Tower. Where can the attacking units organize an effective attack after this block?

At this time, the Kwantung Army commander Muto Nobuyoshi's inquiry telegram arrived, and Itamoto Uemon and his generals were ashamed, and no one knew how to reply. No wonder the division commander Itamoto's face was not good-looking, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have suddenly doubled.

The hall commander Saku was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to come out, Itamoto Uemon sighed slightly, and ordered loudly: "You will carry it out according to the established plan, Sasaki-kun"

"Hey!"

The chief of staff of the division, Yoshira Sasaki, stood firmly side by side.

"Order the 23rd Wing east of the White Tower, leave a squadron to inspect the battlefield and rescue the wounded, and strictly order the Wing Commander Shidao Dazuo to organize the team and immediately start the attack, and within an hour must rush to the place of fire, and the 45th Wing to flank the enemy, if the enemy retreats, the two wings will immediately split into two ways, and no matter how difficult the pursuit is, this stubborn enemy cannot be taken out of sight. Report any abnormalities immediately! ”

"Hey!"

At eight o'clock in the evening, two kilometers north of Baita Town, the 45th Wing of the Japanese Army blocked the position.

The sound of gunfire had stopped, and the grass and trees ignited by the high-powered incendiary bombs dropped by the planes were still "crackling" in the cold wind. After the baptism of aerial bombs and hundreds of mortar shells, the two-kilometer-long position could no longer see its original shape, and more than 3,000 Japanese troops were still crawling on the position filled with gunpowder smoke and snowy water. Nervously staring ahead.

By this time, the two squadrons of the 45th Wing had already rushed out of their positions and rushed to the enemy in front of them for a second tentative attack.

"Boom Boom Boom"

In the area of more than 200 meters in front of the position, a series of explosions suddenly sounded, and the shining light of the explosions broke through the thick smoke of gunpowder and clearly illuminated the officers and men who were blowing up in the sky

A terrible scream, accompanied by the aftermath of the explosion, fluttered in the night sky, and the Japanese troops in the rear positions were extremely nervous, but they could not do anything, and the recruits who had just replenished even closed their frightened eyes and could not bear to look at them again.

In a residential house more than 800 meters behind the position, the wing commander Yingzhuan listened attentively to the explosions coming from the front line. After hesitating for a moment, he asked the staff officer next to him:

"Yamada-kun, listening to this explosion, it doesn't look like an anti-infantry mine used by the An Jiajun twenty days ago, but if you identify it carefully, this is indeed the explosion of thunder, but why does the sound vary in intensity?"

The short man wearing thick lenses pondered, and suddenly raised his head and quickly analyzed: "Ying Zhuanjun, the violent explosion is mixed with the messy explosion of a grenade, and listening to the sound, it must be a grenade equipped by our army." You can't go wrong with this familiar explosion, and it is likely that the enemy on the opposite side took advantage of the capture of this morning's ambush of Yamazaki's brigade, tied up and buried in the snow, using ropes to form tripmines. ”

"Can Yamada-kun be sure?" The triangular eyes of Yingzhuan Eight are shining.

"Be sure! When I was serving in North Korea before, I used to play such a game with a cavalry contingent. At that time, 50 or 60 North Koreans who had fled were killed, and although eight years have passed, this impression is very impressive, and the real scene often appears in my dreams. Yamada replied in the affirmative.

Ying Zhuan Ba suddenly turned around, kicked the square table on the side, and howled at the few lieutenants who were frightened and took a few steps back: "We were fooled!" The treacherous Shina people "give me orders, and all of them charge and chase"

Gu Changfeng and a brother under the command of Yang Jiuxiao successfully blocked the counterattack of the Japanese Yingzhuan Wing with the tripping mines supported by more than 1,100 Japanese grenades newly captured in the morning, delaying the enemy for 45 minutes. Before the arrival of more than 4,000 officers and men of the 23rd Wing of the Japanese Army, they left the battlefield and quietly followed the mountain road on the left side of the kilometer to the north.

At 9:20 p.m., more than 7,000 people led by Baoliang of the Japanese army rushed to the northeast of the battlefield non-stop to block the first-line communication artery of Niejiagou as quickly as possible, and more than 5,000 people of the 45th Wing, who were out of breath, rushed to the front panting.

In the dark night, the two sides did not distinguish between friend and foe, and first the pursuing officers and soldiers of the Yingzhuo Wing saw the black-pressed crowd of blockers, and took the lead in firing in panic, while the Zhidao Wing, which was ordered to block the attack, was attacked and fought back. After a burst of "crackling" fighting, after losing three or five hundred Japanese troops, the two sides contacted each other through each other's howls and phone calls, knowing that it was their own people who fired at them, and hurriedly ceased the fire, and at this time, the brothers behind the An Jiajun Palace had already left far away.

At 9:50 p.m., 14 Gong Yao and 10 Jiagou were 14 Gong to the south of Luolaqin.

Major General Brigade Commander Matsuda Kunizo received an urgent order from Division Commander Itamoto, and was taken aback, and urgently told Washizu Matsudaira Osa, the 13th Wing of the 13th Wing, which was going south to flank the stubborn enemy, to advance forward, conduct a close search, and start a battle with the enemy who might encounter it at any time.

After the order was issued, Matsuda Kunizo, who was frightened by An Jiajun, pondered for a moment, and once again ordered the 47th Wing Commander Tsuneoka Kanji Daisa, who was on standby: immediately lead a brigade to Nanshao Town, seven kilometers south of the city, and be ready to attack at any time, and never let a stubborn enemy slip through the net!

At 9:50 a.m., 14 kilometers south of Karaqin. Shijiagou. One

Shijiagou is a village name, the first appearance of this name was in the late Qing Dynasty, more than 40 people who fled from Shandong stayed here, engaged in logging and picking to make a living, formed ten households, and since then have the name of Shijiagou. After decades of reproduction. Ten families became sixteen, and the population expanded from more than 40 to 80. Among them, more than 20 young people were forced to make a living, left Shijiagou, who gave birth to them, and went to the cities inside and outside the Great Wall to seek development. Due to the relative closure of Shijiagou, more than 60 hard-working and simple villagers still speak a Lubei native accent.

Gu Changfeng and more than 9,000 horses were hidden in the low hills and snow-covered dense forests between the north of the village and Dongwopu Village, and the soldiers tightly pulled the reins of the horses and stroked the necks of the war horses to appease them.

In the long and narrow valley of three kilometers, the cold wind is bitter, cold and biting, the soldiers who have been silent for more than half a time only feel that their hearts are beating nervously, and they dare not move the chaotic footsteps and horses' hooves from the east of the 1.2 kilometers road have not stopped, and a thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the northwest suddenly sounded, from far and near, "boom" came, shaking the woods where the soldiers were hiding with snow powder, and the white clouds fell one after another, staining the soldiers who stood silently and the war horses like snow sculptures.

At the mouth of the valley in the south, Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao, under the protection of more than ten guards, clinged to the low place between the two low slopes, nervously observing the Japanese troops who were constantly rushing south at the three-way intersection in the east of the village, hoping only for this. The seven or eight thousand Japanese troops who had come from the direction of the southern outpost town of Karaqin hurried to finish their journey, so that they could lead the brethren quietly and successfully northward.

Crawling in the snow for a long time, even though the sky is not snowing, and the sky even twinkles with a few stars. But the howling cold wind blew away the thick snow on the top of the slopes on both sides, and the flying snowflakes had already covered the bodies of Gu Changfeng and the brothers, and with Gu Changfeng's strong physique, they all felt their legs numb. Barely unconscious below the knees, let alone the nearly 1,000 brothers with light machine guns crawling in the valley mouth and on every stretch of high ground.

It is precisely because of this that when the 44th and 16th Divisions entered Liaoxi, the experienced Yang Jiuxiao and Ni Zhiqiang, repeatedly warned that the soldiers were not allowed to crawl for a long time during the ambush.

At this critical moment, all the Japanese troops moving south from the direction of Minami Gnaw Town stopped advancing, and Wing Commander Waszu Osa had just received an urgent order from the brigade commander Matsuda. Let him reduce his search, advance slowly, and when he encounters the enemy, he must be held back to the death, and wait for the arrival of friendly troops to encircle and annihilate him.

Washizu Lifu, who strictly adhered to the military order, ordered all the troops under his command to suspend their advance, and urgently summoned several captains to convey the order together. The puppet army commander and battalion deputy of the puppet army encountered the Japanese officer's questioning, hurriedly dismounted, ran to the entrance of the village, and reported to Washitsu, who was standing there.

The sound of talking in the silent night was heard far away. Coupled with the unique blunt tone of the Japanese and the domineering attitude when facing the puppet army, as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice reached the ears of Gu Changfeng, who was only more than 70 meters away in a straight line.

Gu Changfeng hurriedly turned his head, grabbed a handful of snow and pinched it into a ball, shook it slightly, and smashed it on Gu Lixin's head, which was seven meters away behind him, Gu Lixin immediately crawled and moved quickly, and quickly climbed to Gu Changfeng's side. Gu Changfeng pressed his shoulder and asked him to turn his ears sideways: "Listen carefully to what Little Japan is saying?" ”

Gu Lixin's ears were not as sensitive as Gu Changfeng, the leader of the bandits for many years, and after listening to the intermittent faint voice for a long time, he probably heard some meaning, and saw the Japanese army and the leader of the puppet army saluting each other. Leaving separately, they hurriedly crawled in Gu Changfeng's ear and said anxiously:

"The cavalry officer of the puppet army called the commander of the army to be Washizu Daisa, and he said that a brigade of the Lingyuan Eighth Division in the northwest drove into the town of Wafangdian to the west of us to help block our way. The commander named Washizu said that the southern outpost had been strengthened, the defense line was stable, and there was no need to worry, and finally ordered the puppet army to leave a small team and enter the village with a small team of the Japanese army to drive all the people up for interrogation. Ask if you've seen our team.

"Master, just now the old man Zhou in the village gave you and Brother Jiu a pot of wine, more than a dozen villagers are looking forward to us driving the devil away as soon as possible, if the villagers grit their teeth and don't tell our whereabouts. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer! ”

As he was talking, the Japanese brigade set off south again, and the battalion deputy of the puppet army stayed behind with a dozen cavalrymen, and soon found hay and pine trees and tied torches. A small group of Japanese soldiers, led by a military officer, walked in unison to the puppet army, shouted for a while, and soon lit a flaming torch, divided into groups, and rushed to the closed doors of houses on both sides of the narrow road.

Gu Changfeng and the brothers were in their throats, and Yang Jiuxiao saw that the brothers who were crawling under the mountains on both sides began to become restless, and pulled Gu Changfeng, whose eyes were on fire, down the slope:

"Tiger Head quickly gave the order, you can go north, order the brothers of the special brigade down the slope not to mess around, as soon as the guns rang out, the enemy immediately surrounded them, and more than 9,000 of us will die in this place! Evacuate. I'll break it off, quick! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

Gu Changfeng closed his eyes and nodded sadly: "Staff Officer Zhang, order the whole army to quietly retreat north!" Lixin, inform the brothers below, and all retreat

"Yes

The two of them replied in a low voice, and slid down the hill quickly.

Gu Changfeng climbed up the hill again, anxiously looking down at the thirteen houses illuminated by torches, the shouts of the puppet army, the sound of the butt of the gun, and the sound of the gate collapsing sounded one after another, followed by the exclamations of adults and the cries of children.

Due to the restricted location of Gu Changfeng and the others, he couldn't see the chaotic scene on the small street in front of the house, but from the crying and screaming, from the fierce roar of the Japanese invaders and the shameless persecution of the puppet army, it seemed that he saw the old people being knocked down on the snow and saw the women screaming with their heads grabbed, and from the screams, he felt the coldness of the bayonet piercing into the villagers' bodies, just like piercing into his Gu Changfeng's heart.

More than ten minutes later, the torches lit up the houses, and the villagers, who had been bringing water to their brothers an hour earlier, were silent.

Yang Jiuxiao and his guards tightly pressed Gu Changfeng, who was trembling all over, and saw the Japanese puppet army rushing out of the village in the fire, and quickly drove south, only then did they let go of their numb hands, lay on their backs, and two lines of tiger tears surged out of their eyes:

"Old man Zhou didn't say a word, and the villagers didn't say a word in their 60s, young and old...... Whining

Gu Changfeng's face was already buried in the snowdrift. His hands were deeply inserted into the snow, and his thick spine couldn't stop shaking, for a long, long time,
