The Willow River was in front of you, the ice was shattered, and the river resumed its relentless surge. The surging river carried the ice floes and the bodies of the brethren quietly south. The snow fell silently, and on the ice floes, on the corpses of the brethren that came out of the water, patches of striking whiteness.

Huang Shaoxiong wanted to cry without tears. He never dreamed that he would face such a fiasco. Before the uprising, he considered many possible serious consequences, but he could never have imagined that he would be defeated in front of this great ice. According to his and deputy brigade commander Wang Tianming's assumptions, it would be best to capture Kawamoto and Long Guokang at the brigade headquarters in Silin Town, and force the puppet Seventh Front Army and the 38,000 people of the 3rd Division and 1st Brigade of the appeasement army to go together. I never thought that an adjutant at the brigade headquarters was careless in his words and deeds, and on the way to Baiji City to instigate the Suijiu Division, he was arrested by Kawamoto's intelligence team, and two pots of cold water were poured into it, and everything was recruited. He had no other choice but to take only one 864 regiment and embark on the road anyway. I thought that by rushing ahead of Long Guokang and the Japanese, I would be sure to cross the Liuhe River from the frozen river. Unexpectedly, Long Guokang and the Japanese blew up nearly ten miles of ice overnight, forcing him to rely on this terrible ice river to fight a decisive battle with the 124th Division of the New Sixth Army.

The decisive battle was tragic, and the steel artillery team of the 124th Division was pulled up. On the east bank of the Willow River, the mound that was the last position was blown to the ground. Some of the graves were smoothed out, and many coffins and bones were removed. One by one, the brethren fell, and blood stained the snow red in the wilderness and permeated the ground beneath their feet. Until their deaths, the brothers did not believe that they would fail anyway, and they all thought that Li Hanming's national army troops would come from Hexi to receive reinforcements. The gunfire in the west of the river was silent, and the frozen river was blown to pieces, and finally the 100th person jumped off the Liuhe River in despair.

He also wanted to jump, but the moment he jumped onto the river embankment, a small steel cannon shell exploded beside him, and the flying shrapnel and dirt overturned him. He felt that someone had pushed him violently, and after the explosion was over, he was dizzy and wanted to get up and rush down the river.

But he couldn't get up. Hot blood flowed from his waist and legs. He had a nervous breakdown, and he decided that he was going to die. A staff officer ran to save him, but he didn't appreciate it, and even pointed a pistol at him and forced him to leave quickly.

He expected that he would not be able to leave, so he had to settle accounts with Commander-in-Chief Long Guokang on the east bank of the Liuhe River.

This is really a little embarrassing, he can't imagine what else he can say when he sees Long Guokang at this moment.

He duly remembered a morning nineteen years ago, and that morning was the beginning of his military career. He was only fifteen years old at the time, and he recklessly ate a white-flour bun at the recruiting station in the county seat. An official grabbed him by the neck and said, "You can't eat buns for nothing, you have to be a soldier if you want to eat buns." He was stunned and responded, and rushed to the uneaten white bread, and put on the uniform of the Zhilu Coalition Army that day. The official liked him very much, and kept him by his side as a herald.

The official was Long Guokang, who was the head of the regiment at that time.

Captain Long is intimate to him, and he is loyal to Captain Dragon. In the autumn of the following year, there was a battle with the Northern Expeditionary Army on the Jinpu line, and the commander of the dragon regiment was wounded and was in a coma for three days, and he held it for three days. In the middle of winter, he went down to the river with his bare butt to catch fish for the head of the dragon to eat, and he became seriously ill and almost gave up his life. At the end of the year, Regiment Commander Long was promoted to deputy brigade commander, and he was promoted to squad leader, and when he became squad leader, he was only in his early sixteens. Later, Deputy Brigade Commander Long became a brigade commander again, and he was also promoted from squad leader to platoon commander. Later, after the collapse of the warlords and the success of the Northern Expedition, Brigade Commander Long lost the Three People's Principles and became the deputy division commander and division commander of the National Revolutionary Army. In the early years, his fate was almost closely related to Long Guokang's fate.

When he was the battalion deputy, Long Guokang committed an accident. It was the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, and the division was ordered to encircle and suppress the bandits in Yunya Mountain. Long Guokang only surrounded but did not suppress it, and also collaborated with bandits to share the spoils, smuggled tobacco and soil, and was denounced. The Nanjing Military Judge Advocate General's Office sent people to arrest him. When Long Guokang learned the news, he took a pistol and dozens of reliable brothers, picked up stolen silver, tobacco, and fled overnight, and fled for seven months.

Seven months later, in the first month of the second year, the suppression of bandits ended, and their battalion drove from Yunya Mountain to the horse shop outside Baiji City. Long Guokang came suddenly, dressed in civilian clothes, and the group of brothers with a pistol company behind him, wanted to drink and eat as soon as they met.

He consulted with Ling Fuyin, who was the battalion commander at the time. Ling Fuyin said that Master Long was a wanted criminal in Nanjing, and he had to be detained and handed over to the above.

He felt that something was wrong, and said, Master Long used to be good to the brothers, but now that he is in trouble, we have to help, but we can't help, and we can't fall into the ground.

Ling Fuyin laughed at him for being stupid, saying that he was Kangmeng by Long Guo.

Ling Fuyin asked him, which brother can he give the money that Long Guokang got to him? His brother has made enough money, slapped his buttocks, and left, can we make a mistake with this brother carrying a black pot? Ling Fuyin took a fancy to Long Guokang's gun and reminded him that Long Guokang's gun was not bad, that Browning was specially made, another six-wheel, the handle of the gun was inlaid with silver, which was rare, and the guns of the brothers in the pistol team were not bad, they were all German twenty rounds.

Rushing at the guns, he was tempted and decided to do it. There's nothing wrong with this, Division Commander Long is no longer the division commander, why do you need so many guns? He didn't count the Dragon Division, let alone the Dragon Division's money, only these guns.

That night, he and Ling Fuyin surrounded Long Guokang's residence with a company of brothers and confiscated Long Guokang and his brothers from the pistol team. Long Guokang was shocked, thinking that they were going to arrest him, and desperately scolded him and Ling Fuyin.

Ling Fuyin said, this is something that can't be helped, you are wanted above, and we have to be pretentious, and if we don't pretend to be, it is not easy to give an account.

He also said, "Why would we arrest our own division commander?" We'll let you go, and then we'll tell the higher-ups that you've escaped from us, okay?"

Long Guokang turned his worries into joy and said, that's good! All right! Give me a gun, I'll go!

He and Ling Fuyin both said that they couldn't give the gun, and after the wanted criminal was caught, he fled with the gun, so he couldn't say anything.

Helpless, Long Guokang had to take a few people who were willing to go with him, and left empty-handed......

thought that the fate with Long Guokang would end here, but unexpectedly, Long Guokang moved around through the old army commander Hu Rongsheng, and went all the way to Minister He Yingqin, and he actually lost the crime. At the end of the twenty-third year, Minister He said that this Long Guokang would lead the troops, could fight, and was still available. In the spring of the twenty-fourth year, Long Guokang was reinstated and became a division commander, and in the twenty-sixth year of "813", he was promoted to deputy commander, and in the twenty-seventh year, he fought well in Xuzhou and became the commander of the new 56th Army.

However, not long after the withdrawal from Xuzhou, the Yellow River Huayuankou burst its embankment, and the team was trapped in the Yellow Flood Area. Long Guokang ordered the new 56th Army to surrender to the Japanese army, and on the orders of the Japanese, led his troops to rest near Dancheng and Baiji, thus ending his history of the Anti-Japanese War.

At that time, he and Ling Fuyin did not go to Dancheng and Baiji with Long Guokang. After their brigade got the first batch of supplies allocated by the Japanese and opened up the Yellow Flood Area, they suddenly changed the direction of the march, forcibly inserted themselves into the Yunya Mountains, which were familiar to the brothers, and became the guerrilla commander, and from then on they parted ways with Long Guokang.

The guerrilla life persisted for two years under extremely difficult circumstances, fighting with the Japanese, the Communist guerrillas, and Long Guokang's puppet Seventh Front Army, and the reputation of anti-Japanese resistance was out, and the ranks were defeated. In the winter of 30 years, the Japanese army surrounded the iron wall and cleared Yunya Mountain, a team of more than 800 people defected to the Communist Party, three detachments were eaten by the Kawamoto Brigade in the back mountain, and the remaining three detachments of more than 2,000 people could not stand in the mountains, and he and Ling Fuyin had to take refuge in Long Guokang against their will.

The matchmaker is Shi Er's grandmother. Second Grandma Shi has great powers, manipulating many halls in Hongmen, and giving him and Ling Fuyin a lot of help when they were fighting guerrillas. The second grandmother said that if the eldest husband wants to be able to bend and stretch, and if he can't fight, he will first go to the third master of Long to mix, and when the situation is good, it will not be too late to pull the team out. He and Ling Fuyin were afraid of being plotted by Long Guokang. Second Grandma Shi said, he dares, with the second grandmother here, no one dares to touch a single hair of you!

Sure enough, after accepting Long Guokang's adaptation, Long Guokang was good to him and Ling Fuyin, praised them for their backbone, and even exchanged posts with them. At this time, in the eyes of Long Guokang, he Huang Shaoxiong was no longer the little nephew who only recognized the white-faced buns back then, he persisted in Yunya Mountain, which was attacked on all sides, for two years, and his head was marked by the Japanese for 3,000 steel oceans, Long Guokang couldn't help but be impressed.

Long Guokang privately told people that he wanted to use his personality to influence him and Ling Fuyin. Huang Shaoxiong felt very funny, how could he think that Long Guokang had no personality. Does someone have a personality who will share the spoils with bandits? Would someone lead a soldier to be a traitor? Reflecting on the past, he was actually not wrong, it was right to hand over Long Guokang's weapons at the beginning, and it was also appropriate to pull the team away in the Yellow Flood Area.

Ling Fuyin was touched by that unwarranted personality, and often told people how he was sorry for the commander-in-chief in the past, and how the commander-in-chief was generous and righteous, regardless of previous suspicions. Ling Fuyin boasted the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief also praised him, as a result, in the past two years, Ling Fuyin's power expanded rapidly, and his subordinates were expanded into an appeasement division, Ling Fuyin became the division commander, and also served as the deputy director of appeasement, and the original topic was never mentioned anyway. Before deciding to act, he had tested Ling Fuyin's tone, but Ling Fuyin was indifferent.

Now it seems that Ling Fuyin is smart, and the time is not ripe anyway. It was his plan that came true, and he succeeded in capturing Long Guoyasu and Kawamoto, and it was impossible for the entire Seventh Front Army to revolt completely. Ling Fuyin's Suijiu Division was not sure at every turn, and it was also uncertain whether the New Sixth Army could listen to Long Guokang. Even if Long Guokang ordered the uprising, the New Sixth Army may not do it. The commander of the New Sixth Army was Mi Chuanxian, a treacherous and cunning man who was very likely to take the opportunity to kick out Long Guokang and use the New Sixth Army as capital to bargain with the Nanjing government and the Japanese, thus becoming the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Front Army.

He was wrong, he looked at complicated things too simply, he and the brothers of the Independent Brigade were patriotic, and the traitors of the New Sixth Army and the Suijiu Division were not patriotic. Although the Japanese and the Nanjing government were like blocking a dangerous wall, pushing it and falling down, those who were comfortable as traitors did not dare to push it, for fear of smashing their own feet. This is the tragedy of Huang Shaoxiong and the Independent Brigade, as well as the tragedy of the country and the nation. The reality of this tragedy determined his clear defeat today, and the heroic martyrdom of the 800 boys of the 864 regiment.

If you lose, you will lose, and he will not be bad. If he fell into the hands of Long Guokang alive, he hoped that he could die with dignity and let the sound of the gunshots wake up the Seventh Front Army from its slumber......

I always felt like I was going to die. The grass beneath him was already printed red, melting the snow. The pain all over his body was unbearable, as if he had been firmly nailed to the embankment by countless big nails. The gun in his hand flew somewhere, and he had lost his sovereignty over his life, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to die once. He could only die slowly, bleeding all over his body, or freezing to death in the snow and ice.

Gunshots rang out sporadically in the mound area behind him, and the sound of footsteps could be faintly heard. The footsteps were far away, as if floating in the air. He propped his numb elbows on the grass of the embankment, and raised his heavy head with all his might, trying to make out the direction of the footsteps. He stumbled upon a bloodied brother crawling beside him not far away. The brother had a Hanyang in his hand, and the butt of his spear had been plowed into the ground with a deep pit. He wanted to call him, but opened his mouth in vain and said nothing.

Before the brother arrived, Han Yangzao pushed him first:

"Long ...... Sir, help ...... Do me a favor......"

He struggled to drag the gun into his arms, but he couldn't pull the bolt, and his hands froze like hard bear paws.

It took him a great deal of effort before he almost whispered:

"Brother, keep you...... Your life...... Oh my life, no...... Maybe we'...... We can still see him...... They're done! ”

At this time, heavy gunfire and rumbling explosions rang out in the direction of Hexi. He was stunned for a moment, and tears suddenly welled up, and he pointed to the west of the river with his stiff hands, and asked the brother to see, but he could not say anything.

The wilderness in Hexi was covered with snow, and he couldn't see anything, but he knew that Hexi had started, Li Hanming's receiving troops were coming, and Miss Yuzhu lived up to his trust......

It's just too late, and it's irreparable.
