There is a village dozens of miles east of Nenjiang County, in this village live are the families of the workers of the arsenal, because the back is the small Xing'an Ridge, so the village is named Xiaolin Village, at the same time Xiaolin Village is also a line of defense leading to the Morgen Arsenal, in order to protect the arsenal Meng Qingshan specially arranged a company to garrison Xiaolin Village, in the evening, the villagers of Xiaolin Village, who had already entered the bed, were awakened by the sound of guns outside the village, at first thought that it was the arsenal to test the quality of the guns, but when they heard the gunshots getting louder and louder, the company commander Lin Fanyi knew that the situation was wrongJudging from the source of the gunshot, it was not the sound from the rear arsenal, but a mountain pass in front, Lin Fanyi knew that something must have happened, although they belonged to the rear here, but Lin Fanyi's cautious mentality deliberately arranged a squad of sentry posts in front of the village, at this time there should have been an accident, could it be the stragglers of the Japanese army, so he hurriedly dressed and asked the guards to gather the troops and rush to the wall.

But a long time has passed, the gunfire has disappeared, which makes Lin Fanyi feel a little bad, from the time he got up and rushed to the wall in less than five minutes, a squad of soldiers took advantage of the terrain to hold on for twenty minutes, it was no problem, and now the gunfire has stopped, which means that one is to repel the enemy, and the other is that all the soldiers of that squad are killed.

"The devil is coming, the devil is coming." An anti-union fighter ran over from the front and shouted.

"Bang!" The anti-United Nations fighters ran 10 meters from the village gate and were hit in the head by a bullet and fell to the ground.

Lin Fanyi knew that this was a soldier from the second platoon and the fifth squad, and before he could ask people to open the gate to answer him, he saw him knocked to the ground. Then he found that a dense figure appeared behind him.

Lin Fanyi saw that the Japanese army was pressing from all directions, so he said to the soldiers around him: "Comrades, we have no way to retreat. You can't retreat, one life for another. Value! One person kills two devils, earn! Behind the village is our arsenal, once the enemy comes in, the consequences are unimaginable, only to fight! ”

The warriors said in unison: "It is better to die standing than to lie down and live." Company commander, we listen to you! ”

"The third class hurriedly cooperated with the old village chief to escort the villagers to retreat to the arsenal, and the rest of the people followed me to stop the little devil here, if the little devil wants to attack the arsenal, he must first step on our corpse." Lin Fanyi ordered.

"Company Commander Lin's fighting is not just your business. It is also a matter of our village, and I and the young people in the village will stay to help you and let the old and weak evacuate. ”

"Okay!"

At 6:15 p.m., the Japanese army first launched an attack from the northeast corner, and the shells flew towards the wall like meteors, and some of the walls were destroyed. After the shelling, the Japanese did not hear the movement in the village, so they approached the village with guns in a skirmish formation. After they got into the range of the grenadiers. Lin Fanyi yelled, "Fight!" "The grenadiers and guns opened fire together, the smoke billowed out, the Japanese troops in front fell one after another, and the ones behind turned around and ran. The first round of Japanese attacks was thus repulsed.

The soldiers took advantage of the gap to hurry up and fill the gun. Before everyone could catch their breath, the second round of the Japanese offensive began, and shells rained down. Many fighters were killed and wounded. Lin Chongzhou, the platoon commander of the second platoon, was injured in the stomach by a shell, and his intestines flowed out. But he tied up a rag and insisted on fighting. Everyone relies on the wall. Continue the battle with the enemy. But the cunning Japanese did not retreat this time, they used the cover of dense artillery fire to continue the desperate onslaught, and had already rushed under the wall. Although the most threatening to the Japanese army was the grenadier canister, due to the small number, the Japanese army found a loophole, and several Japanese soldiers rushed up. The soldiers bravely engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers who climbed to the wall, and those who gathered under the wall were smashed by stones and bricks, and their bones were broken and their waists were broken, and there was a scream.

The soldiers braved the rain of bullets and plugged the gap with door panels and stones. When the Japanese approached, they were shot with guns, when the bullets ran out, they were slashed with broadswords, and if they did not have broadswords, they were smashed with stones. Near eight o'clock, the company ran out of ammunition. The young man in charge of logistics and supply sent stones, bricks, guillotines, kitchen knives, and iron forks, and the young men of the whole village went into battle together, facing the bullets like locusts, without fear, one person fell, and the other rushed up...... The fierce fighting lasted more than two hours, and the Japanese did not break through the wall.

After the Japanese retreated to rest, the artillery fire intensified. The gap in the wall that had just been erected was destroyed again, the turret on the wall was blown down, and the warriors defending the wall were also lifted under the wall. Lin Jiulan, the tall platoon leader, held a snowy guillotine knife and stuck to the gap, he didn't think the big blade was enjoyable, so he used the guillotine and hacked 7 devils to death in a row, until he was heroic. The Japanese army continued to rush towards the gap in the wall, and Lin Duanwu, the leader of the third squad, met him with a guillotine in his hand, and with a "horn", a bullet flew in, taking his young life. Lin Duanwu's father, Lin Jiuxuan, saw his son lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were on fire, he turned around and rushed towards the gap, he picked up his rifle and stabbed a Japanese soldier to death, and as soon as he pulled out his rifle, another group of Japanese soldiers pounced. At this moment of life and death struggle, Lin Jiuxuan was seriously injured in two places and fell under the wall. He said with difficulty: "Fight to the end, you want revenge!" Even if you die, you can't let the little devil step through here! ”

The words of Lin Jiuxuan, the old village head, added strength and courage to the anti-United Nations fighters and self-defense members, and the sound of killing the enemy within the walls became louder.

After the Japanese army entered the village, the soldiers lost the barrier of the wall, so they had to fight and retreat, and engaged in fierce street battles with the enemy with rifles, broadswords, grappling hooks, shovels, kitchen knives, and hoes. While commanding the soldiers to fight, Lin Fanyi and Zhao Jiuqian, the commander of the third platoon, wielded a broadsword and fought a bloody battle with many Japanese soldiers. Zhao Jiuqian died, and the Japanese army's bayonet was about to stab Lin Fanyi's head again, and a fighter of the Anti-United Nations roared angrily and rushed forward and smashed the Japanese soldier's head with a pickaxe. At this time, the soldiers were already exhausted and sat on the ground panting, Lin Fanyi said: "Comrades, this is not the time to rest, stand up and fight with the devil!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, a shell sounded beside him, Lin Fanyi was directly blown up, and the anti-United Nations fighters saw that the company commander had sacrificed, and picked up the things that could be used as weapons around them with red eyes, and rushed to the Japanese army to fight.

In the streets and alleys, inside and outside the farmyard, the soldiers fought to the death with the Japanese army. Some soldiers fought with the Japanese army in the courtyard. Some soldiers blocked the attack at the entrance of the alley, and some soldiers fought together with the Japanese soldiers. Several Japanese soldiers surrounded a cook in the cooking class. He made ****** of oil from stir-fry and threw it at the enemy, and he himself was burned to the ground. Zhang Bao, a 17-year-old soldier, grabbed a gun with the Japanese army with his bare hands. After his death, his hands were stabbed with knives and cut into bloody flesh. Wang Qingyi, Lin Jiuxing and more than a dozen anti-Japanese veterans fought together with the Japanese army, and unfortunately all of them were shot and died. After the militia Li Gouyu was surrounded by the Japanese army, he decisively pulled the grenade on his waist and died with him.

In the face of the unyielding anti-United Nations fighters, the murderous nature of the Japanese army was even more exposed, shouting "to kill all those in the village who can breathe." "A massacre of dehumanization began."

The resistance of the fighters and the massacre of the Japanese continued into the night, and the village was littered with corpses. Blood stained the streets and broken walls. The surviving warriors retreated to the last street under the leadership of the instructor Linde, there was no way to retreat at this time, the situation was extremely urgent, once the devil went out from here, the arsenal behind him was like a peeled banana, there was no resistance at all, and the face would be a massacre, and the arsenal had the technicians that the troops needed. The ammunition supply of the front-line troops, the advanced equipment purchased by the headquarters from Jiangbei at a great price, and the fathers and villagers in the village.

"Yaga! This mere village alone cost the empire more than a hundred casualties. Anandkang, who had been watching the battle, scolded.

"Your Excellency, Commander. We have been delayed here for nearly two hours, and it is believed that the reinforcements of the Chinese should already be on the way, and our task of attracting fire has been completed. Why don't we retreat! A Japanese captain suggested.

"Yaga! Seeing that this group of armed forces is about to be wiped out, the rest is a flat country for us. As long as the arsenal of the Chinese people is blown up again, the front-line troops of the national people can only fight us with guns without bullets. What are we doing all the way, isn't it to eliminate the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the arsenal? For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and for the sake of our Great Japanese Empire, even the jade is worth it, and when the time comes, our tablets will be placed at the Yasukuni Shrine to be worshiped by everyone. Give you ten minutes to wipe out the last of the resisting Shinas. ”

"Hello!"

"Instructor, I'm out of bullets."

"I don't have it either."

"I have three more grenades here."

"I have two more shells here."

"Comrades, today we are our death period, but I don't regret it, for the sake of the fathers and villagers of the whole village, as well as the safety of the arsenal, our company has been fighting with the little devils for nearly two hours, killing more than 100 little devils, we have no loss, everyone gather the grenades, and when the devils rush over after a while, give them a guy, even if we die, we can't cheap those little devils, kill one by one, and kill a group of our brothers and earn money." Instructor Linde said.

"The instructor is right, just now he slaughtered two little devils with his own hands, and the little devils stabbed him like the pig I killed, and he snorted in pain." A man without an arm said.

"Heroes of the Anti-Japanese Federation, Taijun admires your tenacious fighting spirit very much, Taijun said that as long as you obediently lay down your arms, the imperial army will not blame you for the past," a traitor of the Lily Guild shouted with a thorn.

I heard a male duck shouting from behind a wall that had been blown down by a cannonball on the opposite side: "Little devil, listen up, grandpa will bring you a fresh piece today!" ”

"One, two, three, go!"

"Little Toyo, Tian chicken legs, and radish heads, like rats burrowing in the ground."

"Uncle half a pack of rat poison, a litter of rats is dead!" Under the leadership of instructor Lin, the anti-union fighters knocked on the door panel, clapped their hands, and shouted very rhythmically.

"Oh, oh!" After shouting for a while, the anti-United Nations fighters began to cheer loudly again.

The Japanese officers and soldiers on the opposite side were so angry that their faces turned blue, and they were thinking of how to use to fight back, when the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation came again.

"The little devils are all mother-lovers, they run away when they hear the gunshots, hide in the mountains and don't show up, just to go home to see his mother!"

"Yaga!" Anandkang seemed to be poked in the sore spot, and suddenly became furious, pulled out his command knife and shouted, "Shoot, shoot." Destroy them! ”

The Japanese soldiers picked up the 38 big covers and shot at this side. The warriors slowly gathered around Linde, who held a grenade tied up with a rope in his hand, and the two fighters next to him also held a dud bomb in their hands.

At this critical juncture, boom boom boom...... Dozens of shells were quickly ejected. The loud sound and thick smoke of gunpowder instantly swallowed the Japanese attacking troops, and then an earth-shattering charge horn suddenly came. The voice was so loud that it came from outside the village and reached everyone's ears.

One of the fighters grabbed Linde's arm and shouted excitedly: "Instructor, listen! You listen! ”

Linde nodded vigorously and said, "I heard, I heard!" With tears streaming down his face, he shouted, "Company commander! Comrades! Reinforcements are coming! Headquarters has sent troops to rescue us! ”

In the surviving anti-United Nations fighters, it sounded like a military horn like fairy music, but in the Japanese army, it sounded like a death knell. Anan Dekang looked behind him with a look of disbelief, he didn't know why the reinforcements of the Zhi Na people came so quickly, and why they approached here quietly, you must know that in order to prevent the reinforcements of the Anti-Japanese Federation from arriving, Anan Dekang specially arranged a group of soldiers at the sentry position of the Anti-Japanese Federation before, in order to send him a signal immediately once the reinforcements of the Anti-Japanese Federation arrived, but now the reinforcements of the Zhi Na people have rushed over, where is that group of soldiers. Now that the retreat has been blocked, there is no way to retreat, and now he can only fight to the death, Anan Dekang ordered a team of Japanese troops to break off and block the resistance, and the rest of the people rushed towards Linde and others under the personal leadership of Anan Dekang.

"I saw the little devil trying to get out of the gap and attack the arsenal." Linde pulled the lead of the grenade and rushed towards the Japanese troops.

"Boom!" A loud noise came, and when the smoke cleared, Anandkang was crushed by the earthen wall and died, while the charging Japanese troops, except for a dozen grenades detonated by Linde in front, the rest of the Japanese troops were intact, but they were at a loss at this time, and after Anandkang's death, they turned their attention to the anti-United Nations fighters and self-defense members, and began to massacre the self-defense members and anti-union fighters who had no ability to resist.

They tied up the captured anti-United Nations fighters with ropes and threw them into the blazing haystack fires to burn them alive, and the anti-United Nations fighters kept shouting as they struggled: "Down with little Japan!" Comrades-in-arms, kill quickly! After Lin Fanyi was caught, the Japanese army stabbed him more than a dozen times, and poured gasoline on him and set him on fire. When this group of crazy Japanese soldiers was wiped out, Lin Fanyi was rescued from the pile of dead by the anti-United Nations fighters, and he muttered the last sentence: "Kill the devil." ”

According to statistics, in the defense of Xiaolin Village, more than 140 soldiers of the Eighth Company of the Guard Brigade were all killed, and the Xiaolin Village Self-Defense Force was killed by the Japanese army 26 and wounded more than 70, but the Japanese army also paid a heavy price of 149 casualties.

In order to praise the heroic achievements of the Eighth Company and the Kobayashi Village Self-Defense Force, Kobayashi Village was known as the "First Anti-Japanese Village in Northeast China", and the Eighth Company was specially approved as the title of "Hero Company". In order to commemorate the martyrs who died in the defense of Xiaolin Village, a hexagonal seven-level memorial tower was erected on the mountain ridge north of the village. This is a monument built by the martyrs with flesh and blood, and it will always stand in the hearts of the people.
