Chapter 351: Death by Injury
Niangniang Tomb is a small village in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the east is the Lion Mountain, the west is the Elephant Mountain, the north is the Phoenix Mountain, also called the Baimao Mountain. On the flat ground in the middle of the valley rises a large mound like a hill, covered with trees, and on either side there are two clear streams flowing down the valley, shouting and singing to the open land to the south.
Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng led the special operations team and the sniper team to arrive here long ago. Seeing that Liu Yimin and his entourage had arrived, Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng briefly reported on the situation in the small village.
It turns out that the reason why this village is called Niangniang Tomb is because of the dirt mountain in the mountain valley. According to the villagers, this is the tomb of the concubine of Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This concubine is the daughter of the Korean Gongcao Dianshu Zhizhong, and was presented to Zhu Di by the king of North Korea in the name of offering paper, because she was born beautiful, Hui quality Lanxin, and familiar with military books, blowing a good flute, standing out in Zhu Di's harem, was named a virtuous concubine, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and exercised the power of the queen. On the way back to the dynasty with Zhu Di's expedition to Mongolia, he fell due to ineffective medical treatment at the age of 22. The villagers said that the concubine was seriously ill when she passed by Weishan Lake, and she wanted to be buried in the beautiful Weishan Lake after death, so after her death, Zhu Di ordered people to survey feng shui within a radius of 100 miles, and finally selected this "feng shui treasure land surrounded by mountains, spring water flowing, and two dragons playing with pearls" to bury their beloved concubines, and even the soil for the grave was transported from Weishan Lake by the soldiers. The common people say that the left lion and the right elephant are the doormen, and the three mountains and one water bury the emperor's mother. It is said that after the death of Concubine Quan, Zhu Di guarded the tomb here and couldn't bear to leave. It was still Concubine Quan who persuaded her husband to return south in a dream at night, so Zhu Di had no choice but to choose Huang and Wang's two surnames to guard the forest and guard the tomb, and return to the dynasty with tears. Now there are only families surnamed Wang left in this village, about 70 or 80 people.
Li Lingfeng's voice was full of emotion, and the soldiers also listened attentively. Liu Yimin said that it was another poor woman, so he ordered the vigilance to be strengthened, and asked the guards to unpack the 100 Zhongzheng rifles sent by Li Zongren, wipe the guns clean, and distribute them to each soldier and take them on their horses. The special operations team was also asked to return the weapons and ammunition deposited by the guard company, and the troops rested there, and after dark, the special operations team was guided by the special operations team to advance eastward along the road signs left by the reconnaissance company.
During the rest of the troops, Chen Yaoguang went to see the tomb of Concubine Quan. When you go there, you can see a huge mound with trees and flowers and plants, and the scenery is also very beautiful.
Girls are more sentimental, Chen Yaoguang listened to Li Lingfeng's introduction, and then saw the tomb of Concubine Quan on the spot, and his heart was sour. Thinking that the woman in this tomb must have been a charming and flower-like character during her lifetime, otherwise, with the heart and surname of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, she would not even take her on the expedition, and she would not be able to leave it for a moment. is that she died, Zhu Di not only guarded the spirit, but also guarded the tomb, and even changed his hobbies in the future, fell in love with North Korean food, and chose concubines from North Korea many times. If she wasn't a fairy-like figure, where could she stand out in the Six Palaces and let Zhu Di be so favored?
Thinking about it, I thought of myself, and I had already made up my mind to leave him and be a real soldier of the Eighth Route Army, but by mistake, I met a God-given opportunity in Xuzhou, achieved a relationship, and fulfilled my wish. But this spring dream will soon wake up, and when he returns to the army, I am afraid that he will send himself far away, out of sight and out of mind, and I am afraid that he will never admit to others that he is his woman for the rest of his life. Why is my life so miserable!
However, the woman in this tomb died in the prime of life and when the two were happy, lying in this green mountains and beautiful waters, and no longer had to return to the deep palace of the capital to compete for favor with the three thousand beauties, and freely watched the spring flowers and autumn moon, and the clouds rolled up. As a woman, as a woman next to an outstanding man, this concubine can be regarded as a good fate!
The more this girl thought about it, the more sad she became, the more sad she became, and her tears flowed down involuntarily, and finally she cried in front of the tomb of the concubine before returning to the camp.
Liu Yimin saw that Chen Yaoguang's eyes were red after he came back from outside, and he knew that this girl went to the tomb of Concubine Quan, she must have touched the scene, and cried a nose, the soldiers were all around, and they couldn't comfort her, sighed in his heart, turned his head and continued to discuss the matter of the special combat team with Li Lingfeng and them.
The sun was about to set, and the afterglow was dyeing the surrounding mountains a golden yellow. Liu Yimin no longer waited, and ordered Li Lingfeng to lead the special combat team to set off and open the way in front.
An hour after the special combat team set off, seeing that the sun had set and that twilight was spreading from all around, covering the mountains tightly, Liu Yimin ordered the first guard company and the sniper brigade to mount their horses and advance along the road through which the reconnaissance company and the special operations team had passed.
In order not to alarm the enemy, along the way, the warriors did not use torches, all dismounted and led the horses forward.
At this time, Zaozhuang has not yet set up a separate county or city, the north belongs to Teng County, and the south belongs to Yi County. However, due to coal mining, Zaozhuang has become a coal city, much larger and more prosperous than the average county seat. Among them, the coal mining giant Zhongxing Company, which had developed into a modern large coal mining company before the war, was known as the three major coal mines in China along with Kailuan Coal Mine and Fushun Coal Mine.
This ZTE company not only owned coal mines, but also gave birth to the first stock, the first steamship, the first train, and the first port of China's national industry. The company started with Li Hongzhang, Xu Shichang and Li Yuanhong, the presidents of Beiyang Political Axe, successively served as the chairman, and Zhou Ziqi, Zhu Qijin, the prime minister of Beiyang Political Axe, as well as Zhang Xun and Zhang Xueliang are the major shareholders of the company.
Before the army invaded Zaozhuang, the Kuomintang had strictly ordered the Zhongxing Company to blow up the coal mine, but unfortunately, the company's management was lucky and even fabricated a reason to refuse to bomb the mine on the grounds that the company was already controlled by foreign capital, and forcibly left a modern coal mine to the army, which became the biggest gain of the army in launching the southern section of the Jinpu Road.
At this time, the 39th Wing led by Major General Lai Wuping, commander of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Chinese Army, was stationed in Zaozhuang.
Since Lai Wuping retreated to Zaozhuang, he fought several skirmishes with [***] who counterattacked in the north, completely killed the heart of the counterattack, and according to the order of Isoya Ryosuke, he retreated in the city of Zaozhuang, defended tightly, and waited for reinforcements to arrive.
The commander of the 39th Wing, Numata Tajiazo Daisa, had become a little nervous since he was taught a lesson by the Fifth Brigade Cavalry Battalion in Cangxian County, and he did not dare to listen to the words of the Eighth Route Army and Liu Yimin, and as soon as he heard these words, he immediately had a hysterical seizure. Fortunately, after returning to Shandong from Tianjin, I could no longer hear the word Liu Yimin, and this guy's mood was basically stable.
In this Taierzhuang operation, the 39th Wing was led by Major General Lai Wuping and took 3,000 men and horses of Liu Guitang, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Allied Army, to reinforce Linyi. After fighting for a while, Numata Tazo Daisa found that if the Kuomintang political axe army resisted desperately, this battle would not be easy to fight. This guy suddenly became smart at this time, and no longer let the 39th Wing take the lead, and always let the 39th Wing supervise the battle in the back, coercing Liu Guitang's Imperial Alliance Army to attack. As a result, Linyi was not defeated, and he suffered a defeat, and Liu Guitang, who had lost his troops and lost his generals, saw him and hid to the side. However, Numata Takazo succeeded in preserving the strength of the 39th Wing. Therefore, after going south to reinforce Taierzhuang and garrisoning Zaozhuang, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, who was almost completely wiped out of the Seya Detachment, heard that the 39th Wing was fully organized and almost fully manned, and sent a special telegram to Yang Numata Duojiazang Dazuo to command well, and made the walking of Numata Duojiazangle all the fart, and kept preaching to several captains under his command about the work of fighting and charging the Imperial Allied Army, and supervising the work of the Imperial Army.
On 14 April, Numata Duojiazang Dazuo heard from Major General Lai Wuping the slightest rumor that the base camp would mobilize a large army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the [***] squadron in the Xuzhou area, and immediately suggested that the main force be concentrated and cooperate with the troops garrisoning the county seat of Yixian to clear the squadron on the outskirts of Yixian County and prepare for a large-scale operation. Who knew that Major General Lai Wuping ignored him and asked him to go back and train the troops honestly and wait for orders.
Numata Tazo, who returned in a huff, couldn't live a day, either trying to slap the little devil or kick Han Jian's ass, making the entire 39th Wing Department jump chickens and dogs. It wasn't until after dinner that Numata Tashizo made up his mind that he would go out of the city to sweep up the city no matter what, and show the combat strength of the imperial army, otherwise, even those who maintained the association in the city would feel that the imperial army was defeated and could not do it.
Numata Takazo Osa went to Major General Lai Wuping again. This time, Major General Lai Wuping was very happy, and asked him to take a brigade and a cavalry squadron to the nearby villages to sweep and probe the reality of the [***] team. So, Numata Tazo Osa got on an armored car, took five cars, a large group of infantry, and a squadron of cavalry, and went along the Taizao Highway to the Shiyang area southeast of Zaozhuang.
In Numata Tazo Osa, there must be many rich landowners in the surrounding countryside who have hidden their treasures, and his own visit is tantamount to a sneak attack, and the five cars will definitely be full.
When Luo Yan led the reconnaissance company from Shiyang through the Taizao Highway, there was no enemy situation here, so he left road signs, sent a safety code message on the radio, and continued to reconnoiter forward.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Lingfeng led the special operations team to the vicinity of Shiyang, and found that there were armored vehicles, automobiles, and cavalry activities on the Taizao Highway, and all the villages on the east side of the highway were in flames. Li Lingfeng knew that his task was to escort No. 1 back to the base area, and he did not dare to enter the battle at will, so he ordered two special operations squadrons to covertly engage the enemy and conduct detailed reconnaissance, while reporting the situation to Liu Yimin.
By the time Liu Yimin led the first company of guards and the sniper brigade to march up for reinforcements, it was already 10:40. The soldiers of the special operations brigade who arrived in close proximity to reconnoiter also returned one after another to report on the enemy's situation, and as soon as the situation in several aspects came to an end, Liu Yimin had a general understanding of the enemy's situation. The devil was supposed to be a brigade of infantry and a squadron of cavalry, with an armored car and five cars, and was committing murder in the villages on both sides of the Taizao Highway. Among them, the devils in Shiyang Village on the west side of the highway are a small team, and the devils are mainly concentrated in the villages on the east side of the highway to burn, kill and loot.
Liu Yimin made a silent calculation, with the special operations brigade and the sniper brigade plus a company of guards, the enemy was not prepared, and he would definitely be able to completely annihilate this group of devils. But it's night now, once the devil retreats into the village and sticks to it, it will be difficult to do it, after a long time, the devils in Zaozhuang will inevitably reinforce, and it will be difficult to get rid of the enemy easily.
However, the devils in this area must be the troops of the 10th Division, and they are old devils who have committed a lot of blood debts, and it is a crime not to kill when they see it. You just can't wipe out all the devils, you can destroy some of them.
After making up his mind, considering that although there are few devils in Shiyang, he can hide in the village at any time to fight back, which is not conducive to a quick battle; Although there are a little more devils on the road, the goal is obvious, which is conducive to a quick victory. Liu Yimin immediately ordered the special operations brigade and the sniper brigade to leave the horses behind and keep them under the care of a company of guards. Li Lingfeng led the 2nd Special Operations Squadron and the 1st Sniper Squadron to quietly move to the side of the main road, destroy the devil's armored vehicles, and kill the devil's cavalry and small troops guarding the cars on the main road; Wang Tongsheng led the 3rd Special Operations Squadron and the 2nd and 3rd Sniper Squadrons to eliminate the devils in Shiyang Village; After the start, the first company of guards got on their horses and rushed across the Zaotai Highway, cooperating with the special operations brigade and the sniper brigade to set up an ambush circle on the side of the road to meet the devils.
Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng disagreed, believing that the safety of No. 1 should be ensured first, because it was too close to Zaozhuang and it was easy to attract reinforcements from a large army of devils.
Liu Yimin looked up at the firelight in the direction of Xiwangzhuang, interrupted Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng, and ordered them to execute.
It wasn't until the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade and the Sniper Brigade disappeared into the night that Liu Yimin ordered the guards to mount their horses, and each soldier led a few horses, and just waited for Li Lingfeng to start and then led the guards to rush over.
Although Chen Yaoguang had received a little military training, he could only shoot guns, and when he saw that he was about to fight, his heart fluttered. It wasn't until Liu Yimin picked her up and put her on the horse, told her to attach it to his back and hold herself firmly, that his heart was steady.
Although Numata Takazo Osa wants to exert his silver might, he is not a fool, and he knows that the main force of the [***] team is in a counterattack, and it is possible to re-besiege Zaozhuang at any time. So, when he commanded his troops to sweep into the village, he left a squadron of cavalry and a squad of infantry to guard the cars and keep watch on the road.
Since Liu Yimin wanted to fight, and he wanted to fight to mobilize reinforcements from the devils who were doing evil in the villages along the highway, Li Lingfeng was not polite, and issued an attack order after the troops were in place.
The son of a junior high school teacher in Hyogo Prefecture, Yamada Kio had already learned a lot of knowledge about how rich Shina was when he was in school. Originally, his father hoped that he would go to normal college after graduating from middle school, so that a good son would inherit his father's business. As a result, Yamada Kio quietly signed up for the army with his mother's consent. His mother's idea was the same as his, that is, being a teacher was a very boring job, which would wear down people's will, and it was better to do nothing, so it was better to join the army, and maybe he could go to China to earn a lifetime of wealth.
It was also Amaterasu who took care of him, and after two years as a soldier, he began to increase troops in North China. Yamada Kio burned all the way to North China with the 10th Division, and was actually promoted to squad leader. When her mother received the money from him, she wrote to him and told him that the greatest pride in her life was to raise a hero for His Majesty the Emperor, and she was proud to have such a son!
After retreating to Zaozhuang, Yamada Mufu always looked forward to a holiday. Finally, I was looking forward to today's sweep out of the city, but the captain actually ordered his team to guard the car. Yamada Kio was inexplicably sad and indignant, looking at the fire in the village not far away, his eyes were shaking with white silver dollars, yellow-orange-orange gold bars and the figure of the flower girl struggling on the bed, and cursed and greeted all the female relatives within the eighteenth generation of the captain ten thousand times in his heart, who made their family have such a stupid captain, and gave such a stupid order?
Yamada Kio, who is like a cat's claw in his heart, can't care about the problem of guarding the car at this time, and is looking forward to the captain who has had enough fun in the burning and killing to think of his team and let him choose a target to have a good time.
At this moment, Kio Yamada heard a strange noise, and when he opened his eyes, a cannonball flew with a bright light and crashed straight into the armored car with the headlights on, turning the armored car into a ball of fire.
Kio Yamada could no longer care about greeting His Excellency the Captain and his sister, and opened his mouth to shout, "Enemy attack!" "It's a pity that he didn't have time to give the battle order, and blamed his second lieutenant's uniform for being too eye-catching, and a bullet flew in, knocking off his two front teeth, and blasting a big hole in his mouth. Poor Yamada fell on his back, unable to provide his mother with gold and silver treasures again.
Li Lingfei arranged it like this: The Second Special Warfare Squadron quietly moved to the side of the road, fired at close range, first used a rocket launcher to knock out the devil's armored car, and tried to seize the devil's car as much as possible. The 1st Sniper Squadron was concealed 150 meters from the road, focusing on machine gunners and cavalry in the devil's cars. Since it was night, the scope of the sniper rifle did not work, so Li Lingfeng ordered the No. 1 Sniper Squadron and the No. 2 Special Operations Squadron to shoot with the Bayi automatic rifle to ensure the speed of fire.
The sound of gunfire woke up the soldiers of the Devil Cavalry Squadron and the Infantry Squad who were on guard on the road, these guys were worthy of elite, some of them lay on the spot, some of them drilled under the car, but without exception, they all quickly looked up, judged the direction of the attacker, and then quickly shot their guns.
It's a pity that these devils are only the elite of ordinary troops, compared with the special operations team and sniper brigade that Liu Yimin has trained for several years, they are just little babies ** don't count the ball, as long as those devils shoot a shot, the shooters of Li Buffalo Sniper Squadron No. 1 will immediately send a bullet. In the end, those lucky devil cavalry couldn't bear it in the first place, so they jumped on their horses and ran in the direction of Zaozhuang, because they knew that they were encountering a devil-like army, and it was probably a dead end to get close to the main force of the brigade led by Numata Tajiazo Daisa. However, they don't know that if they can get out, the sniper brigade's signboard will probably have to be changed. No, the devil cavalry who got on their horses and fled became targets, and they scrambled to fall off their horses one by one.
Hearing the gunshots, Liu Yimin immediately ordered the guards to set off in a company, and he took the lead and rushed to the front. He knew that the devils on the road would soon be wiped out, and they were no match for the Second Special Operations Squadron and the First Sniper Squadron.
Sure enough, by the time the guards rushed onto the road, Li Lingfeng was already commanding the troops to clean up the battlefield. Liu Yimin ordered the devil's cars to be lined up in the southeast direction, and all the headlights were turned on to illuminate the battlefield. Ordered the troops to disperse immediately, leaving all the horses lying down and preparing for an ambush.
Not long after, the No. 3 Special Operations Squadron and the No. 2 and No. 3 Sniper Squadrons led by Wang Tongsheng also returned, reporting that there were only 56 little devils in Shiyang Village, and there were too few people to fight.
As soon as Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that the devils still had three and a half squadrons of troops in other villages, and they might arrive immediately, and the devils in Zaozhuang were likely to quickly reinforce them, and maybe they would copy their own back roads, so he ordered to wait for the devils to come up and attack them head-on and evacuate quickly.
When gunshots are heard on the road, Numata Tazo Osa is directing his wolfdog to bite an old man. The old man's son was too ignorant, and when his two soldiers went to pick up the clothes of his flower girl, the old man's son dared to split the two soldiers into two pieces with a guillotine, although his son was also killed, but how could the name of the lowly Shina man be worth the lives of the two Yamato warriors? Numata Tazo Osa was so angry that he even killed the flower girl of the old man's family. He ordered the soldiers to drive all the villagers to the big valley field, and he wanted to make an example of them, so that these common people would know the fate of annoying the imperial army.
Just as the wolf dog was biting the old man in front of the villagers, the gunshots were remembered on the road. Numata Takazo immediately understood that it must be the [***] squadron that was sneaking up on his own alert troops.
Numata Tazozo Osa did not want to kill any more, and ordered the heralds to notify the troops who were sweeping through several villages to assemble and quickly reinforce the alert troops.
When he was about to reach the side of the road, Numata Takazo Daisa found that only the car lights were on, and it was quiet all around, as if the sneak attack team had retreated.
With a wave of his hand, Numata Takazo Osa ordered a squadron to run forward and go up the road to check the situation, and he led the rest of the troops to search around. Of course, Numata Tajiazo Osa, who experienced the Battle of Cangxian, was not an ordinary officer of the Imperial Army, he dismounted his horse early and walked in the middle of the ranks.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and gunshots rang out all around. Numata Tazo Osa immediately lay down on the ground and organized troops to counterattack.
After fighting for a while, Numata Tajizo Osa felt wrong, listening to the gunshots, the other party only had light machine guns and rifles, and the light machine guns were all point fire, such firepower is only a small unit or a miscellaneous army of the squadron, but why are the casualties of their own troops so large?
The gunfire of the other side is getting thinner and thinner, but strangely, the guns can kill them. In particular, his own officers, machine gunners, and grenadier pullers lay on the ground like dumplings. If we fight like this for a while, I'm afraid the whole team will be shattered here.
Feeling that something was wrong, Numata Takazo Osa hurriedly ordered the signal corps to ask Major General Lai Wuping for help, and ordered the troops to move back, widen the distance between them and the squadron, and use heavy machine guns and infantry guns to suppress the enemy.
Liu Yimin found that the devil soldiers began to crawl and retreat, so he ordered the troops to end the battle, quietly retreat, and mount their horses and advance eastward.
As soon as he gave the order, he heard Chen Yaoguang beside him "ah", and when he turned his head, he saw that this stupid girl was falling straight back. Only then did he remember that Chen Yaoguang had no combat experience, and when he heard that he ordered a retreat, he must have stood up and was about to run backwards, but was hit by a devil.
Things are the same as Liu Yimin thought, after the battle started, Chen Yaoguang crawled beside Liu Yimin, watching Liu Yimin's Bayi automatic rifle shoot devils one by one, couldn't help but itch, and used the small pistol that Liu Yimin had just given her to defend herself to shoot at the devil, but unfortunately she didn't hit a few shots, and it also attracted Liu Yimin's reprimand. Liu Yimin even pressed her head to the ground fiercely.
Although Liu Yimin's attitude is not good, it is all sweet and happy in Chen Yaoguang's eyes, she knows that the man is protecting her and is afraid that she will be in danger.
As soon as she heard Liu Yimin's order to retreat, Chen Yaoguang thought that the battle was over, and without thinking about it, she stood up directly, preparing to go to the war horse, and at this time, a bullet hit her.
Liu Yimin walked over with an arrow, stretched out his hand to hug Chen Yaoguang, who was about to land, and looked down to see that this girl was shot in the chest, and blood was seeping out.
Liu Yimin was heartbroken, and hurriedly called the hygienist to bring a first-aid kit.
At this time, Chen Yaoguang was no longer good, Qiang opened his eyes, saw Liu Yimin holding him, a smile appeared on his face, and said intermittently: "This result is very good, tell my parents, I am very happy." After speaking, his head tilted and fell into Liu Yimin's arms.
As soon as the health center crawled over to check, he said to Liu Yimin: "Report to the division commander, Comrade Chen Yaoguang has died, and the bullet hit her heart. ”
Liu Yimin looked at the direction of the devil's retreat, then turned his head to look at the lights of the devil's convoy that was coming quickly in the direction of Zaozhuang, and said hatefully, "The Tenth Division, you wait", picked up Chen Yaoguang and ordered the troops to retreat immediately.
After completely ignoring the gunfire from the opposite side, Numata Tazo Daisa regained his courage and ordered his troops to join the reinforcements who had rushed to the battlefield.
This time, Major General Lai Wuping personally brought reinforcements with his troops, and also drove several tanks that accompanied the 39th Wing. After seeing Numata Takazo Osa, Major General Lai Wuping ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and this cleaning up of the battlefield only found that not only the cavalry squadron collectively shattered jade, the squad that swept Shiyang Village and the squad guarding the car collectively shattered jade, but also the main force of the infantry brigade that returned to the rescue with Numata Takazo Dazuo was also killed by two-thirds. What is especially intolerable is that the captain and several squadron leaders and even squad leaders are almost all broken, and this brigade is finished.
In a fit of rage, Major General Lai Wuping grabbed Numata and opened it crackling.
It wasn't until Major General Lai Wuping got tired of beating his hands and stopped, that Numata Duojiazo Daisa covered the swollen old Gao Laogao's face and said: "Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this unit is very strange, the firepower is not strong, and the guns are sparse, but the marksmanship is extremely accurate, and the soldiers will be killed if they are not well concealed, and they specialize in hitting officers, machine gunners, and grenadiers." ”
Major General Lai Wuping was alerted when he heard this, and when he thought about it, this was an invincible elite brigade, and it had been fighting in Linyi for so long, and it didn't have many casualties for a while. This force is really amazing!
Seeing that Major General Lai Wuping did not speak, the ignorant Numata Tajiazo Dazuo boldly asked: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, can we chase after you?" ”
Major General Lai Wuping looked at the wreckage of the armored car, then at the vast night, and said to Numata Tazo Daisa: "Was your mother born prematurely when she gave birth to you?" How else would your head be rusty? ”
After speaking, he ignored Numata Duojiazo and ordered the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield and withdraw to Zaozhuang.
After returning to Zaozhuang, Major General Lai Wuping sent a report to Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, reporting on the battle that had taken place in Shiyang, and requesting that it be reported to the Second Army and the North China Front Army to investigate the movements of Liu Yimin, the instructor of the China Sect, because Lai Wuping could not think of any other unit in China that had such strong combat effectiveness besides Liu Yimin's troops.
When the North China Front Army Headquarters received reports from various levels, Kita Chengyi had already received a report from a spy in Xuzhou, and knew the information that Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander, had gone south to Xuzhou to meet Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, General Terauchi Shouichi ordered the Second Army to immediately send spy personnel to mobilize all forces to investigate Liu Yimin's whereabouts and be sure to eliminate him on the way home.
Of course, Liu Yimin didn't know about the devil's moves, but if the devil guessed his destination wrong, he naturally couldn't achieve the purpose of intercepting along the way.
After leaving the territory of Zaozhuang, feeling that he would not meet devils for the time being, Liu Yimin ordered the troops to light torches and gallop on horseback.
After galloping all night, he had returned to Gaoqiao Village at dawn and joined Luo Yan and the troops of the Fifth Brigade of the Jiao Fifth Brigade who were active here.
Liu Yimin ordered the troops to camp, turned over and dismounted, put Chen Yaoguang on the grass, and went to break some flower branches and put them next to Chen Yaoguang's body. Only then did Li Xiaoshuai contact the village chief of Gaoqiao Village, find the villagers to buy a coffin, and prepare to bury Chen Yaoguang.
Originally, Liu Yimin wanted to bury Chen Yaoguang on the spot, but after looking at the surrounding mountains, he felt that it was not as good as the mountains of Culai Mountain, and I was afraid that it was not as good as Mengshan, so he decided to transport Chen Yaoguang's body back to the division headquarters and then choose a place for burial.
Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng only knew that Chen Yaoguang was sent by Chiang Kai-shek to embarrass the division commander, and they didn't know the twists and turns in the middle.
Liu Yimin shook his head: "She is a good girl, carrying a stretcher not only affects the speed of the march, but also makes the body bumpy." It's better to put it in a coffin and transport it by car. ”
The party building in Gaoqiao Village was carried out early, and the mass foundation was good, and Li Xiaoshuai soon transported a coffin by car. Liu Yimin took a look, it was pure cypress, the paint and carving were good, and at a glance, he knew that it was a longevity material carefully prepared by a large family, so he agreed.
Because it was on the march, everything was simple, Liu Yimin asked Li Xiaoshuai to take the soldiers to find some pine branches, cypress branches and flowers, and lay the bottom of the coffin with a strong fragrance, which made the soldiers go away, set up tents, found a few young daughters-in-law, washed Chen Yaoguang's body with water, took out clean underwear from Chen Yaoguang's backpack and changed it for her, went to the village to buy two new bedding, and was busy all morning before Chen Yaoguang was buried.
Liu Yimin was extremely sad and in a bad mood at this time, and he didn't want to stop here longer, so he ordered the coffin to be put on the carriage, fixed it, and escorted the carriage to Mengyin with his accompanying troops.
(To be continued)
