Let's talk about Xiao Xiong and how they evacuated safely from Splendid Valley.

The operation was very successful, with only a few members of the team suffering minor injuries. After they came down from the Splendid Valley, they quickly followed Black Tiger and Erhuang down the mountain. Along the way, two very intelligent hunting dogs, who are very familiar with their surnames, will stop and wait for them after walking for a while. Sometimes he ran back, kissed Minghua and them, and then walked down with joy.

Because they were not worried about the enemy's pursuit and interception, everyone won another big victory, although they had to pass through the inaccessible primeval forest, climb cliffs, climb steep slopes, and cross mountain streams, but everyone was in good spirits. If it weren't for the fear that the enemy would find out, many people would really want to sing a song.

In the evening, everyone came to the edge of the bamboo forest under the Haohan Slope, and then went down from here to the Lotus Cave. Zhang Shan told Xiao Xiong that there were many devils stationed near the Lotus Cave, and they forcibly occupied the Iron Buddha Temple, drove away all the monks inside, and set up the headquarters inside.

The enemies of the Lotus Cave have received an order from the mountain to let go of anyone who comes down from the mountain, not even the old man and children. The devils of the Iron Buddha Temple strengthened their vigilance, and the captain of the devil's Yamada personally commanded the Iron Buddha Temple. He said to his subordinates, "Even if a monkey comes down from the mountain, you have to catch it and find out whether it is male or female." ”

The sky was completely dark, and in the vicinity of the Iron Buddha Temple and its various intersections, the devils lit torches, illuminating the area of the Lotus Cave, which is usually dark at night, as if it were day. The bamboo forest is usually a place infested by tigers and wolves, with lush trees and overgrown grasses, especially a large straight and tall bamboo forest. The inside of the bamboo forest is eerie even during the day. Don't look at it is not too far from the Lotus Cave, but because it is in the middle of nowhere, there are cliffs everywhere, and there is a bottomless canyon, only people who come out to hunt and dig medicine and pick tea occasionally come here to patronize, usually not even a ghost shadow is seen.

Hiding in this hidden place, not to mention the devil, even the ordinary local people don't know about it. According to Xiao Xiong's arrangement, Minghua and the others deliberately hid some dry food and equipment here when they took Miaozhipu's troops up the mountain, and used them when the troops came down the mountain urgently, and now they are catching up with them.

Xiao Xiong and everyone ate delicious dry food such as brown fragrant glutinous rice cakes, sorghum cakes, rice cakes, etc., and ate with relish on the spring water on the mountain.

When they were full and drunk, Xiao Xiong asked Zhang Shan and Minghua to take out a few bags of devils' clothes, about 30 pieces. This is enough for the clothes of a devil squad, which was seized from the devils by Deputy Commander Gao Qixing and the brothers of the second brigade led by Jiang Feng.

Xiao Xiong asked the backbone of the two brigades and hunters such as Minghua, Yaohua, and Liu Junshan to put on the military uniforms of the devils, and then put on the devils' 38 big covers. Each of them also had a pistol hidden in them, and they carried 5 devil grenades, all of which were loaded. The combat effectiveness of this elite unit is enough to be equal to a squadron full of devils.

Due to the cruelty and fierceness of the battle on Lushan, Xiao Xiong brought almost all the team members who could participate in the battle to Lushan, making the existing number of participants nearly 200 people, in fact, this is a reinforced company. Seeing so many unfamiliar faces in front of him, Xiao Xiong had a lot of doubts, and he didn't have time to ask Deputy Commander Gao and Jiang Feng about them, he really didn't know how they could recruit these more than 100 brothers who could fight well in such a short period of time. Now, as long as they can pass through the Lotus Cave safely, they can fish into the sea and soar into the blue sky.

During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot, the rain and fog in Lushan was originally more than elsewhere, and at this moment it began to drift a light rain, and the wisps of rain in the sky aroused people's feelings and sorrows. And this rainy night created more opportunities for Xiao Xiong and them, but it increased the difficulty of the devil's guard.

It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, a team of devils patrolling down from Haohan Slope, just walked to the half-mountain pavilion, and suddenly a lot of black shadows rushed out from both sides of the mountain road, and before the devils did not react at all, in a moment, this devil's patrol team was annihilated. It was Xiao Xiong who came. They threw the corpses of the devils off the cliff, and it is estimated that after tonight, these devils will only have skeletons left, and the hungry wolves in Lushan will have enough to feast.

Xiao Xiong and the others immediately walked down the mountain, because the time for the devil to take over the shift was very punctual, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble. Not far away, his own brigade followed closely behind.

"Stop! Password. "After going down the mountain, they came to the sentry post, and the devil sentry asked.

"Matsui's patrol." Xiao Xiong, Minghua and Yaohua brothers walked ahead, Xiao Xiong replied.

Under the firelight, the returning sentry saw Xiao Xiong, who was wearing the lieutenant's epaulettes, as if he was unbuttoning his clothes as he walked, while the two who followed behind were playing with their helmets in their hands.

"Lieutenant, answer the password!" The sentry asked again.

"Listen to the accent, you're from Hokkaido." Xiao Xiong didn't answer the password and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, the devil only felt a few cold rays of light shoot out from the hands of the two people who followed behind, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat, and he was about to fall immediately. Xiao Xiong and the three jumped over the railing and hurriedly supported the fallen devils and took the guns in their hands. Xiao Xiong waved his hand, and the people behind immediately rushed over, rushed into the devil barracks next to the sentry post, killed all the devils inside, and quickly occupied the sentry post. The follow-up troops followed closely and they also came here immediately.

It's almost down the mountain! There is only the last level, which is the Iron Buddha Temple in Lotus Cave.

Suddenly, a patrol of devils came from the direction of the Iron Buddha Temple. Xiao Xiong and the others immediately took precautions and prepared to engage the enemy. However, when the patrol was about to reach the checkpoint, it turned around and walked back.

"Ready! The commandos follow me and follow them. Xiao Xiong gave the order.

This special team swaggered a short distance behind the devil's patrol and walked towards the Iron Buddha Temple. There were also several checkpoints along the way, Xiao Xiong and they went all the way over, and easily eliminated these devils, and the team behind quietly hurried through, following closely behind.

The devil's patrol entered the Iron Buddha Temple, but Xiao Xiong's team was guarding the open space in front of the temple.

The group of men and horses that followed quietly and quickly passed through the Iron Buddha Temple and disappeared into the vast night.

Xiao Xiong saw that the troops had gone away and made a gesture to enter the temple. Everyone secretly pressed their fingers on the trigger and followed Xiao Xiong into the courtyard of the temple.

I saw that the various halls were brightly lit, and people came and went, and it was very lively. There are many cars and motorcycles parked in the yard. This is the main passage for devils to go up the mountain, and the devils who come from the direction of Jiujiang have to get off here, and then hike up the mountain. If it is a high-ranking officer, they generally have to sit in a sedan chair, and they have captured a lot of ordinary people, and they are specially prepared to carry a sedan chair for these devils.

Entering the courtyard, Xiao Xiong, Zhang Shan, and Jiang Feng each led several groups of people and quietly approached the devil's parking lot. The devils guarding inside were defenseless, and it didn't take long for them to be reimbursed to Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong and his team members immediately took out daggers and punctured all the tires on the side of the car parked in the field. Suddenly, a "hissing" sound of air leakage sounded. The devils who passed not far away seemed to hear the sound, stopped, looked at it, Xiao Xiong hurriedly greeted them, and they left immediately.

The destruction is complete. Xiao Xiong motioned to find the devil's arsenal. The group divided into several groups and went into the backyard to look carefully. The Iron Buddha Temple complex is built according to the mountain, although the ancient temple built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty has been repeatedly destroyed after many disasters, but the good men and women still donate and repair, but there are still nearly 20 buildings intact and preserved, and the scale continues to expand, covering an area of more than 200 acres. I saw that in the courtyard, the main buildings such as the Thousand Buddha Palace, the Buddha Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Tianwang Palace, the Merit Building, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda paved in the verdant embroidery valley are respectively in the mountains and mountains, so that people sometimes have the feeling of clouds and mist, and the layers are in and out; If the sun begins to open when the sun is shining, you can see that the roof tiles are shining and dazzling. The main hall is solemn. The environment here is elegant, the scenery is beautiful, the bamboo leaves are shading, and the pine forests are covering the sky. Like a light veil tent, it is particularly mysterious and handsome. There is also a white dragon spring that has flowed for thousands of years, clear as a mirror, like a small white dragon flowing happily around the Iron Buddha Temple, adding a bit of pleasant vitality to the temple. Therefore, the devils changed this place into a garrison barracks and a transit station, and the strategic position is very important.

It didn't take long for Xiao Xiong and the others to find a warehouse full of supplies, and boxes and boxes of ammunition were also stacked here. There were only a few devils guarding it.

Zhang Shan and the others quickly dealt with the devil's sentry, they pried open several wooden boxes, only to see that they were full of ammunition, and several of the fighters picked up a few machine guns from them. Wang Xiaofei quickly placed the grenade for detonation, extended the lead to the outside of the courtyard, and went out through the side gate until he walked to the stream outside the temple. Xiao Xiong asked everyone to quickly retreat along the Bailongquan stream.

As soon as they came to the junction of the Lotus Cave descending the mountain, they saw a dazzling fire shining in the night sky, and then they heard a loud noise coming from the monastery. Xiao Xiong clasped his hands together and said something in his mouth: "Sin! Sin! There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! ”

Ouyang Cunfeng asked strangely, "Commander, what are you doing?" What are you reciting to the devil? ”

"Cunfeng, during this time, we have killed little devils in front of the Bodhisattva many times, and because we have destroyed Qixian Temple, destroyed Dalin Temple, and now we have blown up the Iron Buddha Temple. Sin! O sin! After the devils are driven away, we must rebuild the temple and rebuild the golden body of the Bodhisattva. We destroyed the Bodhisattva's Golden Temple, and the Bodhisattva is blessing us to kill the devil, don't you say? ”

In the Iron Buddha Temple, the devils were already in chaos, and the fire set the entire courtyard on fire. Many devils were killed, some of them rushed out of the hospital, and some went to drive cars and motorcycles that were not yet burning. However, as soon as I started the car, I felt that something was wrong, the car did not listen to the call, there was no way to control the direction, and several cars collided together. At this time, a series of explosions occurred in the already burning car, and the entire parking lot immediately turned into a crematorium, and even the devils who were not killed were also lit with torches, rolling in the ground, screaming.

When the devils from other places came, they only saw that the Iron Buddha Temple had turned into a sea of fire. The devils who were lucky enough to rush outside were terrified, and they didn't know what was really going on.

However, later devils still found that there was no one alive at the checkpoints along the way, and some of them could not even find their bones. The devil knew that this must be the enemy who attacked him in Dalin Temple.

Who are they? In the vast Lushan Mountain, everywhere in the forest, where are they hiding? What a terrible enemy.

On March 27, 1939, it was said that Kou captured Nanchang. On the day of the Qingming Festival, the military meeting prepared to be held in Lushan was to commend the meritorious troops who captured Nanchang on March 27, but the main topic was how to continue to expand the results of the battle in the Nanchang area. Therefore, the meeting planned to make new arrangements for the entire combat unit, readjust the direction and focus of the operation, and prepare to attack the [***] Luo Zhuoying division located near Nanchang, completely defeat the Kuomintang army in front of it, and then occupy the entire northwest and central Jiangxi regions.

Before the meeting began, the enemy's chief of staff of the Saito Division (the 101st Division of the Army) and the chief of staff of the Matsuura Division (106th Division) Akiyama Yoshitaka Osa, together with a number of officers at the brigade, wing, and brigade levels, went to Dalin Temple, one of the five jungles of Lushan, to pay respects to the fallen soldiers. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by unknown enemies, and Kunimu Sanchio Osa and Akiyama Yoshitaka Osa were killed on the spot, and many officers and soldiers were killed or wounded in battle.

The attack was well planned and well organized, and the attack was a classic and seamless. Except for the dead and wounded devil officers and soldiers and the traces of bullet casings and grenade explosions left on the ground, the enemy did not leave any clues, as if they had suddenly evaporated from the world. At that time, the devil mobilized almost all the troops around Lushan, completely blocked Lushan, and conducted a thorough search for Lushan, but still found nothing, and the enemy still disappeared.

The extent of the losses suffered by Lushan, which was surrounded like an iron barrel, was no less severe than that of the De'an Campaign (Wanjialing Campaign), because this attack resulted in the simultaneous death of the chiefs of staff of the two divisions, and there were also many casualties among officers above the brigade level. And the place where it happened turned out to be in the heart of the heavily guarded devils - Lushan.

Due to the heavy losses caused by this attack, the devils had to readjust the attack on General Luo Zhuoying's troops, and they had to adjust the commanders of the relevant units of the garrison in northern Jiangxi, thus delaying the time of the attack. After Luo Zhuoying's troops got a respite, they strengthened the defensive line, and the enemy and us were in a state of apparent confrontation. The victory in this battle was no less significant than the battle at Songmen Mountain in Wucheng, and it directly led to a change in the battlefield situation in which the Chinese army fought in East China and Central China. This is something that Xiao Xiong and they never dreamed of.

At the end of early April, the Military Committee of the Nationalist Axe decided to take the lead in breaking the deadlock and recovering Nanchang in view of the stalemate between the enemy and us on the Nanchang battlefield. So he ordered Luo Zhuoying to command a total of about ten divisions in the Third Theater and the Ninth Theater to counterattack Nanchang. The policy is: "First attack the enemy along the Nanxun line with the main force, cut off the enemy's contact, and then take Nanchang directly with one section." Luo Zhuoying dispatched troops and finally began the counterattack on Nanchang on April 21, and the battle began in the sound of our offensive artillery.

Xiao Xiong and the others reported the battle in Lushan to the headquarters, and after receiving the commendation order from the headquarters, they also received a new order: "Continue to strengthen the rear to harass the enemy and cooperate with our army in the Nanchang operation." ”

A new, tougher and more exciting battle is about to begin.
