Chapter 820: The Witness of Ice and Fire X
readx;
The bomb of the first army was thrown very accurately, and the ten temples at the entrance of the village and the old man Bian were blown up, but fortunately, because Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao led the troops to arrive, every household pulled the brothers who fought the devil in the Anti-Japanese War into their homes and entertained them warmly.

However, when this bomb fell, the old man and his wife were gone, and Mr. Fengxue, the only one in the village who could take on the enlightenment task of preaching, teaching, and solving doubts, died in the raging fire in a blink of an eye, and the tall and sturdy school built by the whole village with the concerted efforts of the whole village collapsed, and even if he wanted to save it, he couldn't save it.
A sudden bomb instantly broke the peace of the quiet and rich mountain village for more than a hundred years, and this earth-shattering explosion, as well as the innocent and tragic death of the old master Bian who everyone respected, suddenly changed the fate of most people in this remote mountain.
Under the towering trees covered with heavy snow, the soldiers lined up in a long line, sneaking through the snow and working along the way. The darkness of the trail contrasts sharply with the harsh light of the snow and ice exposed to the sun.
What is different from when they came is that the marching procession is mixed with more than 30 girls and more than a dozen and a half children in the village, including Su Bingguo's lovely sister and the 23-year-old sister who was enslaved by the Japanese and died before marrying her fiancΓ©.
Under the nest, will there be no eggs? The people in the village have a premonition that a huge disaster is coming, rather than staying here and waiting for death, it is better to follow the trustworthy army to go out and fight and break through, a hundred years ago, the first generation of the village also broke through the east and west.
Father Su wore a furry wolfskin jacket and a shotgun, and walked at the front of the line with four middle-aged men dressed in the same clothes as him. Decades of life in the mountains, the hunters are very familiar with a hundred miles of work, a ridge, a ditch and a hill, they led the army to walk this road, leading to the most prosperous Lao Ye Temple within a radius of 100 miles, but, under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, now the Lao Ye Temple is no longer prosperous, and it is no longer lively, all the men over fifteen years old and under fifty years old in the town have been taken to the south of Chaoyang City with bayonets more than 20 days ago. The puppet Manchurian army, which betrayed their ancestors and acted as lackeys of the Japanese, also released a message: Let all the ordinary people from ten miles and eight towns go to build the airport and see if Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang's planes dare to bomb again!
Twenty days ago, it was the market day once on the 10th, Su's father and the four young men in the village braved the cold wind and heavy snow, carrying dozens of animal skins to the old man's temple, hoping to exchange the animal skins for the salt in the village and the needlework cloth needed by the women. No matter how you call it, I couldn't open the door, and finally turned to the school in the middle of the town, only to see Mr. Cheng, a teacher standing alone at the door, Mr. Cheng, who didn't wait to ask, Mr. Zhai spoke first: Brother Su, no one wants your animal skin, go to the small warehouse in the west of the town, maybe Old Man Zheng hid a bag or two of salt under the looting of the Japanese army, go quickly"
Mr. Cheng closed the door after speaking, and Father Su led the brothers to the cattle and sheep pen of the old man Zheng in the west of the town.
It was not easy to find Mr. Zheng, who had been doing business for more than 40 years and had traveled from south to north and south, but now he was lying in a low wooden house, with a charcoal fire in the tin bucket, and a medicine pot on the charcoal fire, and his originally red face was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze.
An hour later, Father Su and the others left all the animal skins, carried two bags of 40 catties of coarse salt on their backs, and returned to the mountain village in a panic, never to come out again.
At night, nearly 10,000 soldiers quietly drove into the Lao Ye Temple, which completely controlled a platoon garrison of the puppet army, and finally saw the bleak signs stated by Su's father: the Lao Ye Temple was no longer rich and prosperous, all the men in every household were pulled away, and the adult women were also dragged to cook for the people who built the airport, and the valuable things of every family were all looted by the Japanese and the puppet army, and the streets were also pasted with notices stamped with the big seal of the puppet Manchukuo central government, asking each family to contribute money and efforts to assist the imperial army and dedicate themselves to building a happy and peaceful Manchukuo.
When Mr. Zhai saw Yang Jiuxiao and Gu Changfeng again, there was no hot tea, no snacks, and no Mohe cigarettes sent by his daughter-in-law, and some were just two lines of unstoppable tears.
Yang Jiuxiao's heart was sour, and as soon as a greeting came out, the old gentleman strode forward, grabbed him with one hand, grabbed Gu Changfeng with the other, and excitedly pleaded for one thing: Quickly save my daughter-in-law and grandson! The Japanese and the puppet Manchu army are all brutes, not people, the men are tired of building airports and roads, and they are dragged to bury them, and there are not even Zhang mats, and the women have been ruined one after another, and there are no less than a dozen hanged people.
Yang Jiuxiao's mood was extremely heavy, and he hurriedly asked why? Why isn't there such a thing in Shenyang? Even if they are ruffed, women and children are still safe, why is this happening here?
Mr. Zhai fell down after only saying one sentence: not only the old man's temple, but also the entire Chaoyang Yi for a hundred miles, all villages and towns, the yellow dog of the Manchurian army said, because Liaoxi resisted the Japanese Imperial Army the most,
At ten o'clock in the evening, the main hall of the old man's temple.
The generals drooped their heads, and no one was willing to speak, and the raging coals could not burn the grief and hatred. A burst of footsteps came in a hurry, Ni Zhiqiang and Lu Yanqing, who were full of fierce faces, pushed the door in, and the generals raised their heads one after another to look over.
Ni Zhiqiang picked up a large tube of snot by the stove, rubbed his frozen red nose, and gritted his teeth and said: "All recruited, thirty-five puppet soldiers were interrogated separately, and no one lied after checking, and now there is only one brigade of Japanese troops and one infantry brigade of puppet troops in Chaoyang City, plus the transport teams of the eighth and sixth divisions and the guards of the transit warehouse, the total number is less than 8,000 people.
"At the airport southeast of the city, there is a squadron of Japanese engineers, and the puppet infantry brigade has a regiment to help control more than 10,000 people. All those who were arrested, male and female. All of them live in makeshift wooden slabs, neither sheltering from the wind nor the cold, and every day more than a dozen corpses of villagers who are tired and frozen to death are carried out to bury.
Speaking of which. Ni Zhiqiang sniffed and suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart: "Seven days ago, the Linghe Iron Bridge in the west was repaired, and the train transported a large number of materials to Dabanzhen Station, and then went to Chaoyang City.
"Also, about 800 officers and soldiers of the Japanese Engineer Brigade are rushing to repair the railway, all the way from Daban Town, Chaoyang Station is set in the north of the city, in order to repair the warehouse and repair the station, three days ago, tens of thousands of people have demolished the north city wall and gatehouse. If two main regiments of 5,000 brothers were sent around and fought from north to south, none of the enemy would be able to escape.
"That's it?" Yang Jiuxiao looked at Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng nodded: "Okay, that's it!" It is better to tear down the city wall, saving a lot of trouble to enter the city, it is estimated that the Japanese army feels that it is very safe to be in the rear, and is ready to use Chaoyang as their transit hub. β
"Why don't I bring one. The battalion touched into Daban Town and him again? "Ni Zhiqiang is really angry this time, since this guy was promoted to major general and chief of staff, he no longer personally led the troops in his own identity, and now he actually offered to bring a battalion over to raid, thinking that his intestines were about to be scorched by anger.
Gu Changfeng objected: "Let Yanqing go, he is more familiar than you, and lead the three hundred brothers of the first regiment and one battalion of the temporary plus the special agent company of the leopard and the blasting detachment of the special brigade." Nearly half of the brothers in the first battalion had participated in the attack on the railway station of Dabanzhen and the Japanese army field hospital, and they were familiar with the situation. β
"For such an important task, I'll lead the team myself." Liang Zhenyu knew Gu Changfeng's thoughts, and took the initiative to stand up without waiting for the generals of the Second Division to ask for battle.
Gu Changfeng immediately nodded: "Okay!" You and Yanqing are in joint command, Yanqing is mainly responsible for attacking Japanese engineers, and you are responsible for blowing up bridges. β
"Yes!" Liang Zhenyu happily accepted the order.
At this time, Ni Zhiqiang was anxious: "I said Tiger Head, don't you look down on Lao Tzu?" Why don't you let me go? If you don't arrange my work properly today, I'll be done with you! β
Gu Changfeng laughed: "You are in a hurry, you can't help yourself" Brother Jiu, the two main forces that went around to the north of Chaoyang to attack are led by you, how about it? β
Yang Jiuxiao replied excitedly: "It's so decided, haha!" β
"What about me? Tiger head, you grandson" Ni Zhiqiang is about to go berserk.
Gu Changfeng put away his smile and said solemnly: "Brother Ni, don't worry, speaking of which, among so many of our brothers, only you are the most careful, the most thoughtful and comprehensive in considering things, and the villagers are all close to you, so little brother, a regiment will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for cleaning up the Japanese sappers and a battalion of puppet soldiers at the airport, and let all the villagers flee home, otherwise you can escape with your family to the Guannei." There is one of the most important tasks in this, that is, to find the son and grandson of the old man, take them with you, and retreat west with our large army. β
Ni Zhiqiang pondered for a long time, and nodded emphatically: "Understood!" I'll take care of it. β
Gu Changfeng walked up to Ni Zhiqiang in a few steps, stared into his eyes, and said very solemnly: "Big brother, remember, you can't take in any of the people, and the brothers will withdraw after the fight, and you can't take so many people with no military knowledge at once, otherwise it will not only affect them, but also tire us to death."
"After tonight's battle, I'm afraid we will become the great enemy of the Japanese puppet soldiers who want to kill and then quickly, saying that the Japanese army will not necessarily abandon the offensive that is being carried out, and go all out to chase and kill and encircle our department, so this withdrawal is a continuous outlaw, along the way to hide like an old monk, as fast as a rabbit, if we are surrounded and intercepted by the Japanese army, we have to meet God to kill God, kill ghosts and ghosts, there is no other choice! Let the innocent people join in, will you save or not save when the time comes? If it is difficult to protect themselves, it is better to drive them to escape home now, or simply encourage them to flee back to the pass, I believe that even if they choose to stay, at most they will be ruff again, and they will not die so quickly. β
Ni Zhiqiang was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "I understand!" As soon as you said let me call the airport, I understood everything, don't worry, on this issue, my brother and I will not be soft-hearted. β
Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly and looked around: "Who else has a problem?" β
"No more!" All the generals replied in unison.
"Well, that's it! Get ready, prepare for an hour and a half, and move at 5:30 a.m.! β
"Yes!"
The generals dispersed in a hurry, and Gu Changfeng grabbed Ni Zhiqiang, who was about to go out: "What about the thirty or so puppet soldiers?" β
"Slaughtered! The corpses were all hung on the bulletin wall of the town hall, "What, you still want to use these brutes?" Ni Zhiqiang asked curiously, and Yang Jiuxiao also walked over with concern.
Gu Changfeng shook his head: "I want to use their clothes" Forget it, there are still one hundred and ten sets of Japanese military uniforms in the baggage of our special brigade brothers, so let's use them. β
"Wait! The clothes are still there, intact, and the more than thirty beasts are all recorded and hung under the eaves, if you want it, I will ask Xiao San to fetch it for you. Ni Zhiqiang said with a smile.
Yang Jiuxiao grabbed Gu Changfeng, who turned around: "Tiger head, you are the commander of the first army, don't mess around!" We're going to have to rely on you to command the whole situation. β
"As soon as the battle starts, who will stop and listen to my command? It's okay, I just want to lead two detachments to make a trip, Xiuping led a detachment to change clothes and ride on horses, and go to Qingshan Town in the northwest of the city in advance, where there is a battalion of puppet troops guarding the only north-south road, which is the only way for us to retreat, and it must be controlled in advance.
"I'll take a detachment to follow behind Brother Ni, as soon as you shoot in the north, I will grab the Japanese army's transport convoy, more than 30 trucks, can transport a lot of brothers who were injured in this battle, we can't leave a living brother." Gu Changfeng explained.
Yang Jiu shrugged, gave Gu Changfeng a punch in his chest, strode out of the main hall of the temple, and suddenly turned around outside the hall, walked towards the old monk who was standing under the pillar on the side at some point, and respectfully raised his hand:
"Master, the younger generation has given up, I don't know when I will be able to listen to the master's teachings"
"Go, there are many ways to save the common people, no one knows which one is the most correct, maybe the same way may not be known! The old man knows that you are afraid that you will not be able to come back in the cold and summer, so he will come to see you off, and tomorrow morning, the old man and the monks in the temple will pray for you, go! Amitabha"
