Chapter 118: Evil Fire

In the past month, he himself has continued to provoke and even shelled Shanhaiguan in various ways, but in order to carry out the supreme instructions of the chairman of the committee, the garrison of Shanhaiguan has to endure humiliation in every possible way.

The latest round of provocations, which led to the outbreak of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, began with the "grenade explosion" made by Yumoto.

In front of the Shanhaiguan garrison and in front of the gendarmerie of Shanhaiguan, they caused a grenade explosion, and then falsely accused the Chinese side of what they had done, and made four unreasonable demands, including the withdrawal of the south gate to the Ninth Brigade.

At the policy meeting of the brigade headquarters, An Dexin strongly advocated resistance and vowed to live and die with Shanhaiguan.

Subsequently, Lieutenant Kodama of the garrison arranged more than 70 soldiers to set up machine guns and peace-shooting guns on the roof of the bathhouse of Nanguan Taiping Temple.

Kodama came first, and the soldiers followed. Kodama wore riding boots, the ladder was very slippery, and the speed was slow, so the soldiers applauded and screamed, urging him to climb quickly, and An Dexin restrained his anger and forbearance, only to order the defenders to throw bricks to warn. Kodama has no one in her eyes and continues to be mad. As we reached the top of the wall, Kodama suddenly threw a grenade to blow up our defenders. An Dexin was filled with righteous indignation, and no longer ignored Chairman Chiang's supreme instructions, and ordered the defenders to fight back.

Kodama was killed on the spot, and An Dexin fired the first shot of the Shanhaiguan War of Resistance.

Immediately, the 1st Division of the Eighth Division of the Chinese Army drove from outside the pass, set up an artillery position in Weiyuan City, and bombarded the city with more than 10 field guns. The artillery of the garrison at Shanhaiguan of the four forts also fired to cooperate. Five planes dropped more than 10 bombs on the city wall, causing great damage to the fortifications, and the artillery stopped at night, and more than 200 shells were dropped in the city throughout the day, and many residents' houses and houses were destroyed.

That night, He Zhuguo, commander of the Ninth Brigade, rushed back to the Xifudian Headquarters from Beiping and held a meeting to convey the will of Zhang Xueliang, who had been reappointed as acting chairman of the Beiping Military Branch: "For the purpose of covering the concentration of the North China Army, the Luandong garrison should strive to maintain the affairs of the Luandong region, so as to delay the enemy's westward invasion, and when the enemy attacks, it must maintain the Luandong area for at least two weeks." ”

Obviously, Shanhaiguan was designated as a military target to be abandoned, and the task of the Shanhaiguan garrison was to delay the attack of the Yue army, not to hold on.

An Dexin's first battalion was stationed in Nancheng, and after he returned to the camp, he conveyed not the will of the chairman, but his own decision: to defend Shanhaiguan.

In his speech on combat mobilization, he generously stated: "I am in Shanhaiguan, and I must not go over once I say that I am in Shanhaiguan; If people want to pass, they can only step on my body! ”

Then came the bloody battle.

In the fierce battle, almost the entire battalion was wiped out, but An Dexin still fought to the death.

In the fierce battle, An Dexin first injured his hand, and he didn't care about it. When moving, he was shot in the leg, but he was still wounded and fighting. Then he was shot in two places in the head and abdomen at the same time, and finally fell to the ground, and a loyal soldier ignored the danger of bullets and bullets, snatched An Dexin's body, put it in a sack and retreated.

An Dexin's body was first hastily buried near the West Water Gate, and entrusted to a nearby mosque to take care of it, and a few days later, he secretly got up on the starry night and was safely transferred to the Qinhuangdao headquarters.

An Dexin was martyred, the whole country was shaken, and the whole world was saddened.

Ming said, on the 18th, An Dexin's coffin will arrive in Jinmen.

Originally, people from all walks of life in Tianjin strongly appealed that the coffin should be stopped in Tianjin and a public memorial service should be held, but Tianjin was said to be a concession and a garrison in Tianjin, and the Beiping Nationalist Axe was afraid that something would happen, so they firmly refused.

It's a pity that he has only been here for a short time, and if it was this time next year, he would definitely have a way to make the coffin stop for three days, and use this incident to turn him upside down, so he had to make Chairman Jiang feel disgusted.

Han Lihong's heart burned with a wave of anger, an evil fire. It's all up to this, and he even let him garrison the army in Tianjin.

Thinking of the fruit fans who shouted for the golden decade in later generations and praised Chairman Jiang for enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens and being eloquent, he was even more angry.

What the are you doing!

It was dark at four o'clock, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

The biting north wind was howling, Han Lihong was walking home, he was not wearing a hat, his coat was open, he was hot, hot.

Han's mother and sister moved the day before yesterday, and they also moved to the French Concession, living on the same street as the swallow goblin. Their yard is No. 10 Deren Road, and the yard where Swallows and Goblins live is No. 7.

The houses on this street are not very regular, although they are separated by two numbers, but there is only one family between the two yards.

When I got home, it was Li Guo who opened the door.

After Han Lihong came in, Li Guo closed the door, and then said in a low voice, "The ticket owner has arrived." ”

Han Lihong nodded.

After greeting his mother and sister, Han Lihong opened the secret door and went down to the basement. There is a tunnel in the basement that leads to the swallows.

Of course, this is still Zhai Yongren's handiwork.

Zhai Yongren is young and has a good brain, he is the heir to the mantle of the old man Zhai Dongshui. Now, in Tianjin, there are as many as seventeen people under his command.

When Han Lihong came up, Ticket was chatting with swallows and goblins.

As soon as Han Lihong arrived, the meal was immediately put on the table.

After eating, he set up an incense table in the courtyard, where Han Lihong wanted to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in Shanhaiguan.

In the cold wind, cigarettes curled and everyone looked solemn.

After the memorial service, Han Lihong and the others all put on their clothes a little, and then went out of the house and disappeared into the vast night.

An hour later, Han Lihong, Piao'er, Swallow, and the Fairy galloped across the white expanse.

Their destination, northwest of Tianjin, fifty-five miles, Xiaowangzhuang.
