Lu Yiqiu, a native of Nanyang, Henan Province, received a new education and graduated from Nanyang Higher Primary School. In the third year of the Republic of China, he went to Anjiang, Hunan Province to participate in the revolutionary construction work, and served as a cultural teacher in the Anjiang National Primary School. In the fourth year of the Republic of China, he joined the National Socialist Party for the first time, and then gave up his pen and became a political cadre of the Fourth Division of the Youth Army, and later served as a political instructor of the first battalion of the 401st Regiment of the Fourth Division of the Youth Army, with the rank of major. During the five-year war to protect the country in the Republic of China, he died honorably in the battle of Anqing, and was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr by the Supreme Command of the Youth Army, and was posthumously awarded the double glorious titles of national defender and combat hero. And Wang Zhenyu issued an order posthumously awarded a medal of light. The elderly in their families are all treated as martyrs' families and are sent to their deaths by the state.

The war history of the Fourth Division of the Youth Army clearly records: "Lu Yiqiu, born in Nanyang, Henan Province in 1892 AD, successively served as the platoon commander of the first battalion and the second company of the 401st Infantry Regiment, the political and ideological instructor of the second company, the deputy instructor and instructor of the first battalion. On March 12, the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), in the Anqing offensive in Anhui Province, he led his troops to fight fiercely with the enemy who was several times his own, at this time the enemy army was ferocious, and suddenly attacked our army with 500 thieves who dared to die!! ”

Lu Yiqiu's story was later deliberately packaged and expanded by the propaganda department of the Youth Army, and he became one of the representative figures of the Youth Army. In the later foreign wars against Japan and the Soviet Union, such combat heroes emerged one after another, and the root cause was because of Lu Yiqiu's exemplary effect.

On March 12, the most direct effect of Lu Yiqiu's suicide attack made the death squads of the Anwu Army lose the courage to fight to the death, no matter how urged by the officers, they were unwilling to rush into the positions of the youth army on the opposite side, who knows where there are still many madmen who are not afraid of death. It wasn't until Ni Min killed the four soldiers who refused to carry out the order in one breath that the death squad had to stand up slowly, and then rushed like a foreign worker, this time it was very absolute, and he shot at the youth army halfway through, anyway, he couldn't move forward. The youth army was still nervous at first, but when they saw that the other party was like this bear, they simply stopped shooting and sat in the trench and smoked a cigarette.

At this moment, Wang Kewen was leading a few soldiers to try to find Lu Yiqiu's body, and the whole person was blown black, but everyone still took out Lu Yiqiu's party membership card from his jacket pocket, and Wang Kewen, a tough guy, couldn't help but shed tears: "Instructor, instructor, how can you be like this!" ”

On weekdays, due to various reasons, Wang Kewen looks down on political cadres like Lu Yiqiu who have studied very much, thinking that they are just playing tricks, and they will definitely not be useful at critical moments. So I would ridicule him from time to time, but Lu Yiqiu didn't seem to mind it, and after a long time, Wang Kewen and Lu Yiqiu became friends. Originally, after making an appointment to fight this war to protect the country, everyone accepted the arrangement of the director of the political department of the regiment and went on a blind date collectively, but it didn't come to fruition......

The battle continued, and Ni Min called the four pipe belts that the An Wu Army was responsible for the attack over, and reprimanded him very much: "You are still not our Anhui men, and you can't even do a group of Hunan barbarians." I'm here today, even if all the strength of our four battalions is exhausted, I will see the moment when the military flag is planted on the enemy's position. Add the bounty to 30,000 oceans, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, I don't believe it, we can't beat it in such a big place. ”

Unlike Wang Kewen's side of the first battalion, the second battalion commanded by Tao Jun did not become the focus of the breakthrough in the first wave of attacks. But soon the focus of the Anwu army's attack was adjusted, and 800 heavily armed Anwu troops pressed down on Tao Jun's side after the shelling. Tao Jun is an officer transferred from the Gui Army, and Huang Xuchu, who was transferred from the same batch, is now a brigade-level cadre, but he is still a battalion-level. So this time he fought very hard, constantly shuttling between positions, directing the fire support of heavy machine guns and mortars.

The Anwu Army's attacks became ineffective under this constantly adjusting firepower, and the forces were constantly consumed at the front of the position. But after all, they had a strong force and quickly fought into the positions of the second battalion. Tao Jun led a company of brothers to meet him with bayonets, and both sides immediately fought with bayonets.

Although the Anwu army paid the price of several hundred men, they still rushed into the defensive position of the second battalion and launched the most white-knuckle battle that tested the will of the soldiers.

The sound of metal stabs colliding with each other, the sound of fighting, the roars, the screams of the dead, the wails of the wounded, all tlucked at the nerves of the soldiers on both sides of the war, which became more and more fragile.

The soldiers of the Youth Army were also born and raised by their parents, they were human beings, not gods, and such a brutal battle began to make them uncomfortable. A tall Hubei soldier stabbed three Anwu soldiers in one go, only to be stabbed by four bayonets. A tall Anhui soldier knocked over four or five young army soldiers in one go, but Tao Jun shot him with a pistol.

Both sides are holding on to Zuihou, and it's up to who can hold out to Zuihou. At this time, Liu Xuyi, the commander of the 401st Regiment, personally came over with a platoon of roaring reinforcements, and he helped Tao Jun and them hold on to this breath.

And the An Wujun naturally had no choice but to lose their breath, leaving behind hundreds of corpses but they could only be defeated.

The third wave of attacks was crushed, Ni Min stared blankly at the defeated troops, as well as the unforgiving enemy position on the opposite side, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is this young army still human?" How do they do it? ”

On the Mihe River behind the battlefield, the pontoon bridges have become six, but the headquarters of the Left Route Army did not add too many troops to the opposite bank, in fact, Bai Chongxi also has his own reasons, just such a wide front, no matter how much troops are invested, it is useless, so it is more about dragging the wounded soldiers down and transporting supplies and supplementary soldiers.

The other troops, according to Bai Chongxi's orders, were already preparing to find a location to wade into the water to prepare for the general attack.

Bai Chongxi even sent a cavalry-based interspersed force, one of the goals, he must firmly drag the Anwu army here and wipe them all out here, he doesn't want to spend a lot of effort to fight Anqing City.

It should be said that so far, Bai Chongxi's tactics have been very successful.

Ni Min kicked the iron plate, not to mention the heavy casualties, and the more he fought, the more he lost his confidence. However, after fighting all morning, he did not see many reinforcements from the Youth Army, which made him make a miscalculation, that is, the Youth Army was probably under-manned.

In this way, the current youth army has become a piece of fat, and if it is gnawed down, it is estimated that it will be able to greatly damage the vitality of the youth army and stabilize the entire position. Is it a blessing or a curse, a hammer deal, Ni Min secretly made up his mind......

Throughout the afternoon, the Anwu Army launched seven attacks on the positions of the 401st and 701st regiments, each more ferocious. When the Zuihou position was lost for a time, it was Lin Hu who organized a team composed of officers and soldiers from the units directly under the regimental headquarters of the 401st Regiment and the 701st Regiment to fight a counterattack, and only then did they drive out the fierce Anwu Army. After this attack, the time was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the Anwu army did not launch a new attack, and the entire front suddenly calmed down......

Five miles away from the front line was the temporary headquarters of Ni Min, a senior general of the Anwu Army, and less than 50 meters away from the headquarters, more than 30 mountain guns had all lost their armor and lay there quietly motionless. The shirtless artillerymen were all chewing grass and blowing cowhides, probably feeling that the weather was a little cold or the sweat on their bodies was dry, and they began to get dressed.

At this time, a few men came up with fragrant meals, and the artillerymen surrounded them with their own bowls.

While the artillery of the Anwu Army was scrambling for food around the wooden barrels containing the food, four pairs of round eyes were staring at them in the small bushes less than 100 meters away from them.

"Can you tell where they are?" The sharp-eyed man asked softly, he was covered in yellow-green, and he still wore a straw hat on his head, and if you didn't look closer, you couldn't tell that there was a person lying here.

"Yes, Company Commander Cai, but I don't know if they will move their positions."

The person known as Company Commander Cai thought for a while and said: "We have been lurking and observing here for a long time, and we have fired a total of three rounds of artillery, and we have not shifted our positions once, which shows that these people are not professional at all. Let's wait for the opportunity of the enemy's sentry on the left hill to change the guard and retreat, and be as careful as possible, this information must be sent back to the regimental commander. ”

Cai Juxian has an elder brother named Cai Ming, a 20-year-old young man, who is currently the commander of the reconnaissance company of the 401st Infantry Regiment, and is very good at lurking, reconnaissance, espionage, and assassination. During the battle in Guangxi, it was this son who was the first to go up and kill the sentries of the Gui army, which made it very easy for the army to recapture the nameless heights. Later, Cai Juxian was transferred from the mountain army to serve in other units, but Cai Ming was asked to leave by his friend Liu Xuyi, saying that talents are rare and can be given to a company commander. Cai Juxian also felt that his younger brother would gossip when he was promoted under his command, so Liu Xuyi's meaning was fulfilled, and Cai Ming was assigned to the 401st Regiment of the Fourth Division.

In this battle, Cai Ming and his brothers received a very clear combat task from the regiment commander Liu Xuyi, that is, to find out the specific location of the artillery positions of the Anwu Army.

After a day of secret reconnaissance, Cai Ming, who risked his life to infiltrate, successfully discovered the artillery position of the Anwu Army......
