Holding the casualty figures reported after the statistics, Meng Qingshan was a little heartbroken, in less than three hours of fighting, the Anti-Japanese Federation paid the price of nearly 1,000 casualties to take this position, this is still with the cooperation of the special combat team and the outside to let the Anti-United Nations take the position at a very small price, but because of the dark fort built by the Japanese army, the attacking troops were illuminated with a large number of wounded.

Now only the most difficult hard bone Xigangzi position remains, the remaining forces of the devil are huddled in it, for the safety of the rear, Meng Qingshan had to lead the troops to rush over and completely erase them from the map, because the battle just went too smoothly, so that the initial aircraft formation did not come in handy, only flew around the position and returned, which made this group of flying soldiers very regretful.

Originally, the First Military Region led by Zhang Zhongxi was responsible for solving the Xigangzi position, but because when the Anti-Japanese Union occupied Aihui County, the Japanese expatriates in the city actually formed a force of several hundred people under the call of veterans and began to wreak havoc in the city.

Meng Qingshan, who commanded the operation on the front line, was also worried about Zhang Zhongxi's troops of the First Military Region, because the First Military Region was active in the area of present-day Inner Mongolia, and that direction was a place where horses were produced, so the composition of the troops of the First Military Region was two-thirds cavalry and one-third infantry, although their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the headquarters, but they did not have similar experience in attacking fortifications, and when facing a fortified area like Xigangzi. It would cause large casualties, so Meng Qingshan ordered them to be responsible for clearing the uneasy factors in Heihe, and Meng Qingshan led the armored brigade, guard brigade, and artillery division to converge with part of the four divisions and encircled the Xigangzi position, the last stronghold of the Japanese army in Heihe Province.

When the Japanese Kwantung Army was building the so-called border fortification positions and fortress groups. For the sake of secrecy, all the original inhabitants were forcibly driven away. All the villages were burned to the ground, during the march of the anti-coalition. Along the way, apart from the trees and grass, and the occasional pile of white bones peeking out from under the railway, not even a single figure was to be seen.

Dozens of fishing villages along the Heilongjiang River that used to make a living from fishing are now uninhabited except for a small number of Japanese garrison points, and this once rich black land is now full of barrenness. The Anti-Japanese Federation set off along the railway built by the Japanese army, and even saw several large pits on the way, probably because the heavy rain in the summer months washed away this originally buried pit to expose the big pit inside, and Meng Qingshan, who was marching, saw the white bones exposed inside, and Meng Qingshan knew that these must be those laborers who were killed.

The laborers who built the railway for the Kwantung Army worked in two shifts, day and night, for 12 hours each, and the laborers were given very little food every day, and they were often mixed with noodles and so on. Because of the large number of laborers. The bark and grass roots around the area were eaten up, and the laborers had to eat the Guanyin soil, for which many laborers were swelled to death, and most of the laborers were starved to death. Fushun coal miners work even longer. 12 hours of work per day. It's actually more than 14 hours.

Secondly, the working conditions and environment are extremely harsh. In particular, military works and urgently temporary conscripted laborers. In order to save money, the Japanese puppet authorities enslaved a large number of laborers, and many projects relied on crowd tactics. Some cumbersome labor such as military roads, airfields, barracks positions, etc. of the Kwantung Army. There is no machinery at all, and it is all done by the flesh of labor. The amount of labor paid by the laborers every day has exceeded the limits of the human body, and basically every 100 meters of railway must have a large pit, and it can be said that one-fifth of Manchukuo's economy depends on Jewish money, and four-fifths depends on the lives of Chinese.

Along the way, looking at the scene of barren grass everywhere and wild beasts appearing, although this situation is very convenient for his troops, but it makes Meng Qingshan's heart blocked, the Chinese are driven away like animals in their own land, and their own land is reduced to invasion and relying on the so-called guard of their own alien race.

And this alien army under the banner of so-called co-prosperity and coexistence, while talking about protection under this banner, is carrying out massacres, large areas of villages and farmland have been destroyed, and people have been displaced, which is undoubtedly a great shame for every Chinese, so Meng Qingshan decided to drive this group of guys with human faces and beasts out of China.

However, at one o'clock in the afternoon, he had already arrived at the Xigangzi line, and at the middle end of the railway near the Xigangzi position, there were several large pits less than 50 meters away, and a lot of white bones were exposed in the big pits.

Meng Qingshan gathered the soldiers here and pointed to the white bones that were exposed after being washed away by the heavy rain not far from his feet at this moment, and the dry bones with the traces of bayonets could be clearly seen in front of the sternum, and then pointed to the land that could have been once covered with grain, but now it has become a long railway line, and said to the cadres and soldiers in front of him: "Let's see what kind of life our compatriots, people, brothers and sisters are living!" ”

"People were forced to drive away from their homes with bayonets, their homes were destroyed, the land that had been reclaimed with so hard work was abandoned in pieces, and those who did not want to leave were picked to death in their own homes with bayonets, and even arrested by the Japanese as laborers until they died of exhaustion!"

"What is this, the shame of all our soldiers, when the land is lost, the flesh and blood compatriots who should be protected by us are driven around like dogs in their own homes, and they will be slaughtered if they don't obey, this is the shame of our soldiers, if we don't completely drive these dog mongrels out of our land, what faces do we have to meet our fellow villagers, what qualifications do we have to wear this military uniform, and what faces do we have to claim to be soldiers!"

Meng Qingshan's words made all the cadres and soldiers who were still sacrificing their comrades-in-arms and did not come out, and all the people present lowered their heads in shame.

Looking at his subordinates who lowered their heads, Meng Qingshan frowned and said angrily: "What are you doing with your heads down, don't you have the courage and ability to avenge your compatriots who have died, all raise your heads to Lao Tzu and tell these compatriots who have become white bones whether you have the ability to avenge them!" ”

Stimulated by Meng Qingshan's words and the scene in front of him, the scarlet-eyed soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation shouted in unison: "We will definitely be able to avenge them, avenge all the people who have succumbed to death, we are the senseless Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, it is our natural duty to drive away the Japanese invaders and restore China, and we will fight to the end with the Japanese invaders, and we will never die!" ”

In the oath, Liu Yalou took the lead in singing the song "Song of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation" written by Meng Qingshan: "Forward forward, forward, our team is like the sun." Stepping on the land of the motherland and carrying the hope of the nation. We are an invincible force, we are the children of the workers and peasants. We are the armed forces of the people? ”

"Never fear, never give in, fight bravely until the invaders are wiped out, the banner of the Anti-Japanese Federation is flying high, listen, the wind is whistling, the army horn is sounding, listen, how loud the revolutionary song is, comrades are running to the battlefield of resistance against Japan, comrades are marching to the battlefield of national salvation, forward, forward, our team is marching towards the sun, towards the final victory, towards the liberation of the Northeast, forward!"

The majestic military song encouraged the morale of the troops even higher, Meng Qingshan looked at the high morale of the soldiers, and then waved his hand with satisfaction: "It is said that the mourning soldiers will win, so in the future battles, I want to see if you can really become a real soldier who is qualified to protect our compatriots from the same suffering in the future!" ”

"As for now, let's all work together to bury our compatriots, and give me a careful inspection of all places, don't let the bones of our compatriots continue to be exposed to the wind and sun, you must remember in the future that the spirits of these compatriots in the sky are watching you, can you fulfill your promise, we will use the blood of devils to comfort their heroic souls in heaven!"

Hearing Meng Qingshan's order, all the cadres and soldiers did not hesitate at all, and immediately began to ...... the bones washed out by the rain and the bones taken out by the animals, slowly collected them, wrapped the bones in clothes, and slowly put them back into the pit for burial.
