Chapter 90: Retreat to Yunshan: The Battle of Yangjialing (5)
Li Minghua led more than 100 members of the hunter team to the position, and they witnessed Ouyang Cunfeng and Ma Changyong sacrifice their lives to blow up the last two tanks of the devil.
Li Minghua was extremely sad, he was hoarse and shouted loudly like crazy:
"Brothers, kill! Kill all these Japanese devils! Come on! ”
He and Liu Junshan led the hunter team to rush down the hill, and the other team members also rushed down the hill with them.
The devils were frightened by the momentum of the rangers, and they no longer had the cover of tanks, so they turned around and fled down the slope. The team members with hatred chased the devil's ass and opened fire, and the fleeing devils were knocked to the ground one by one by the hunter team members with accurate marksmanship, and the corpses of the devils were lying from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope.
The devils on the slope used machine guns and mortars to cover the devils to retreat, and the Einsatzgruppen saw that the devils had retreated down the slope and retreated. Under the command of Li Minghua, they hurriedly repaired the damaged fortifications and checked the ammunition. Some team members took advantage of the fact that the devils did not attack and went up the slope, and hurriedly collected some of the guns and ammunition left by the devils. They were ready and waited for another attack from the devils.
Dawn looked at his watch, the time was almost 12 o'clock, which had exceeded the three-hour blocking time given to him by Commander Xiao. However, the commander had not yet informed himself of the retreat, and he had to hold his position again.
At this time, the devils drove several more trains from the direction of De'an, and there were at least two squadrons of devils on the cars. Moreover, they also brought several mountain guns.
The devils set up mountain artillery, and there were more than a dozen mortars, and they fired at the positions of the 6th Squadron in unison. In an instant, a cloud of dust and smoke rose from the Einsatzgruppen position, and the nearby trees were blown to the ground. The team members on the battlefield suffered heavy casualties, and Dawn was wounded by shrapnel in his own thigh.
The medic hurriedly bandaged Dawn's wounds before carrying him out of position. Dawn threw the medic away and limped into the ground again.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the devils launched a frantic attack in squadrons.
Suddenly, the operator shouted at Dawn, "Captain, the commander orders us to withdraw immediately. ”
"You go and tell the captain that when we repel this attack of the devils, we will retreat."
The battle was extremely fierce, and the devils who received the order at this time did not care about life and death, and launched wave after wave of attacks.
The 6th Squadron, which had been holding off the enemy for more than three hours, had suffered casualties by this time. However, the devils are still attacking them continuously, and now, it is impossible for them to retreat, and most of the surviving team members are already seriously injured.
Looking at the devils rushing over densely, Liming smiled bitterly, turned to the newspaper operator and said:
"You retreat quickly, tell the commander, if you want them to withdraw quickly, the sixth squadron has done its best."
"Captain, I'm not leaving! Let's go! ”
Dawn put a pistol at the operator and shouted:
"Let's go! I'm going to leave a seed for the 6th squadron, do you know? Let's go! After saying that, he turned his head and fired at the rushing devil.
The operator shouted tears, fell to his knees, kowtowed to all the brothers of the sixth squadron who were fighting, and ran towards Yangjialing with his waist bent.
Behind him, the gunfire became more and more intense, and the explosions of grenades and shells were also interspersed. Gradually, the sound of the gunfire became quieter, and finally stopped.
The newspaper operator, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped, and pressed his heart with both hands as if he was listening to something. Suddenly, a huge explosion came from behind him, and in an instant, the whole world suddenly became deathly silent.
"Captain! O brethren! The operator collapsed on the ground. After a while, he got up, wiped his eyes, and continued to run towards Yangjialing Station.
Xiao Xiong led the troops and soon came to the Snake Head Ridge. Looking at what Xiao Xiong was looking for, Li Minghua bit his lip and said:
"Commander, don't look for it, Brother Ouyang and Brother Ma have already died in battle."
"Ahh All dead? What about them? Xiao Xiong asked with trembling lips.
"They're there, and they're all blown up...... Blown up. Li Minghua pointed to the tanks that were paralyzed there.
Xiao Xiong's eyes blurred, and he yelled at the team members with red eyes:
"Hit! Hit me hard! Kill all these brutes! ”
Since the balance of forces between us and the enemy was basically evenly matched, Xiao Xiong and they occupied a favorable terrain and shot condescendingly. The devils below the slope saw that they couldn't take advantage, so they planned to retreat.
Xiao Xiong seized the fighter plane and led the Einsatzgruppen who had already killed the red-eyed Einsatzgruppen to rush towards the devil, and the devil who was about to retreat was suddenly blinded, killed and wounded.
However, the devils immediately calmed down, and while organizing a team to block the attack of the special forces, they slowly retreated in the direction of Aicheng.
Xiao Xiong ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, and he asked everyone to immediately clean up the battlefield, count the number of people, and quickly bandage the wounds of the wounded, preparing to withdraw immediately.
Suddenly, two team members came running up the slope. Xiao Xiong took a closer look and saw that the team member carrying the transmitter on his back was none other than Liming's Sixth Squadron. He stepped forward and hurriedly asked:
"Where's your captain? Why are you the only one coming back? ”
"Our squadron is all finished, the captain and the brothers are all killed!"
"You talk nonsense! What about the more than 100 brothers in your squadron, how can you say that if you don't have it, you will be gone? ”
Xiao Xiong couldn't believe his ears and shouted.
"It's true. Commander. The man who had been sent to meet the operator on the way, and he no longer heard the guns of the 6th Squadron blocking the enemy.
Xiao Xiong couldn't accept the facts in front of him, and the three squadron leaders, three close comrades-in-arms and brothers, disappeared like this. Although they died a heroic death, they can no longer kill devils with them, and they can't punish traitors together. Xiao Xiong knelt down in a daze, tears filled his eyes and flowed down his cheeks.
"Report to the commander, the number of people has been counted. At present, there are 623 personnel, of which 58 are seriously injured and 189 are lightly injured. ”
Xiong's loud report woke up Xiao Xiong, who was grieving. He nodded, watching as everyone was watching him. He said slowly:
"Order: Li Minghua led the hunter team to explore the road in front, the senior deputy commander led the people to break off, and Xiong Qiang was responsible for arranging the wounded. Forward goal: Yunju Mountain! Let's go! ”
The Einsatzgruppen evacuated Shetouling in an orderly and rapid manner, and withdrew in the direction of Mawan Village.
Because the devils in the Qiujin area were all transferred to reinforce Yangjialing Station. Now the area is almost a vacuum. The Einsatzgruppen crossed the Xiuhe River near Lion Rock, and then walked non-stop past the Buddha Hall and Ma'anshan, and went straight to Yunju Mountain.
In the evening, they finally came to the Yuantong Temple at the foot of Yunju Mountain.
At this time, the monks in the temple were doing their evening classes. The drum beat of "Knock, Knock, Knock" came from inside the temple and spread far, far and wide, echoing in the valley for a long time. Everyone fell silent for a moment, listening to the sound that seemed to come from the Buddha's country.
Everyone looked up and saw the majestic Yunju Mountain standing in front of them.
"Isn't Yunju Mountain a Yunshan Mountain? Commander. ”
Gao asked in a puzzled whisper.
Xiao Xiong didn't answer Gao Qixing's question, as if he didn't hear it, he walked straight to the mountain road next to the temple and walked slowly, Gao Qixing and Li Minghua quietly followed behind him.
Xiao Xiong looked up at the tall and majestic Yunshan in front of him, and stood there motionless for a long time, until the night engulfed the figure of the mountain.
Xiao Xiong sat on the rocks on the side of the road, he looked at everyone, and carefully introduced Yunshan to everyone.
Yunju Mountain was originally called "Ou Mountain", because it "the mountain is majestic and high, often embraced by clouds and mist", after the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Yunju Mountain, and later people also called it Yunshan. It is hundreds of miles in circumference, located in the southwest of Yongxiu County, not far from De'an, Anyi, Wuning and other counties, it is the remnant vein of Mufu Mountain, and then to the west it connects the continuous Mufu Mountain, Jiulian Mountain.
With majestic momentum and handsome abundance, Yunshan rises from the ground on the vast plain on the west bank of Poyang Lake. The main peak of the mountain is nearly 1,000 meters above sea level. It has fresh air, beautiful environment, steaming clouds, majestic appearance, lush vegetation and cool climate. The strange stones on the east side of the mountain are colorful, and the stone houses hide immortals; The north side of the mountain is stacked with peaks, and the waterfall is strange and the pool is blue. Throughout the ages, Yunju Mountain is praised by people for its beautiful natural scenery and the famous dojo of Zen Buddhism, the ancients called it "Yunling Jiajiang right, the name is high in four hundred states", "the crown of the world is desperate, the cloud dwells in the sky".
The temple on the mountain is the birthplace of the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism. For thousands of years, the incense is prosperous, the monks have come out one after another, and the Zen style is magnificent. The successive generations of the presiding officers of the Zhenru Temple have conscientiously pursued the ancestral precept of "attaching equal importance to agriculture and Zen", resulting in the peak of the temple's Zen style. It has formed a unique Buddhist holy mountain with Zhenru Temple as the center, plus the surrounding Yunmen Temple, Yuantong Temple, Yaotian Temple and Gishutang Temple as the periphery, and the "clear, quiet, secluded and elegant" of Buddhist culture, with the characteristics of ancient temple monk towers, strange peaks and strange stones, waterfalls and flowing springs, cliffs and caves, cliffs and valleys, Bixi rivers and lakes and the pastoral scenery on the top of the mountain.
Yunshan, it is not only beautiful, but also has a deep cultural heritage. For thousands of years, Yunju Mountain with its majestic mountain, beautiful environment, beautiful scenery, coupled with the long history of the thousand-year-old temple standing in the center of the Lotus City - Zhenru Zen Temple, high monks have come out one after another, and attracted a lot of celebrities and nobles and literati to climb the mountain, or to participate in Zen and worship the Buddha, or to read the scriptures and discuss the Tao, or to explore the beauty and visit the secluded. In the midst of this, the lyrics are raised, and they sing harmony with each other, leaving behind many masterpieces.
Famous literati who have been on the mountain include Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Wang Anshi, Zhu Xi, Bai Juyi, Lu You, etc. The text is based on the theme of the mountain, the mountain is based on the text, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and they have left a spiritual wealth with high cultural value in Yunju Mountain.
The Zhenru Temple of Yunju Mountain and the Donglin Temple of Lushan are both famous jungles of Buddhism, and have a very significant influence at home and abroad.
Xiao Xiong said this, sighed, and then said angrily:
"Not long ago, I heard that on May 8 of the previous year, the little devils used aircraft and artillery to blow up most of the buildings of Zhenru Zen Temple under the pretext that the anti-Japanese guerrillas were hiding in the mountains. It is said that the damn little devil was blown up with an incendiary bomb, and most of the temples were burned down, and even the iron tiles covering the Daehavira Hall were melted. Later, the devil entered the temple and looted other ritual utensils and Buddha statues. Now only the bronze statue of Lushena Buddha remains in the broken walls. ”
