Beijing bread carried the gloomy mood of the "three family slaves", and the admiration of Hong Yongnan finally arrived at the "Jiaodong Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery". In the exhibition hall, some of the weapons captured and used by our army during the peasant rebellion during the Chinese Agrarian Revolution, as well as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are also exhibited. Suddenly, the "three house slaves" stopped in front of an old saber. He looked intently, and the seven words "Given by the Prince of Chaoxiang Palace" on the copper sheath of the saber suddenly made him dizzy, his blood pressure increased, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Three family slaves" Park Young-sik was shocked and thought to himself: "This ...... Isn't this the saber of Kazuo Asai, the squadron leader of the 'Asai Squadron' back then? It turned out to be preserved here, and it is still so well preserved. Hey...... This is the best souvenir, and when you get back, you have to send someone to steal it. ……”

Yang Daomian led the "three family slaves" and Hong Yongnan to stroll to the cemetery, which contains the names of 20,850 martyrs who sacrificed their precious lives with the lives of the Japanese invading army in which the "three family slaves" participated. Rest in peace include the party, government and military leaders Qi Li, Lin Jiang, Yu Kegong, Wang Wen during the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese War, as well as the combat hero Ren Changlun, the explosion hero Wang Keshan and other famous anti-Japanese heroes. When the "three slaves" came to the portrait of the martyr Tong Zhenshan, the commander of the second battalion of the 16th Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region, he couldn't help but stop, and the scene that made him lose his soul 42 years ago appeared in front of his eyes again. There seemed to be a rousing charge in his ears again, as well as the earth-shattering sound of "killing". There seemed to be a glittering dagger and bayonet in front of his eyes again, especially the red tassel spear that made them two devils feel gallant, that is, "shuttle dart".

At the end of 1942, this was the most arduous and difficult period for the anti-Japanese battlefield behind enemy lines, and the brutal sweep of the "dragnet and encirclement" type of "pulling the net and encircling the Jiaodong base area" by the little Japanese devils for a month was coming to an end. Okamura Ninji was the supreme commander of the North China Front of the Little Japanese Devils, and was notorious for his bloodthirstiness and insidious cunning. The unprecedented, vicious, and cruel new tactic of "pulling the net and encircling the circle" that he devised with all his heart and mind completely failed, and he went home in disgrace.

The winter in Jiaodong this year was particularly cold, and with the howling northwest wind, it actually snowed heavily. I saw that the foothills of Asan and Mashi Mountain were wrapped in silver, as if they had changed into a silver dress, and there was a great artistic conception of "Yanshan snowflakes are as big as a seat, and they have blown down Xuanyuan Terrace", so beautiful! It's a pity that under the iron hooves of the little Japanese devils, the great rivers and mountains are full of wolf smoke and devastation. The Asan and Mashishan areas are full of corpses and bones, and you can see ordinary people who were killed by the little Japanese devils everywhere, and it is not too much to describe it as a hell on earth.

The "Asai Squadron" assigned to Major General Yoshitaro Hayashi was independently mixed into the "Ichiki Wing" of the Seventh Brigade Regiment, and after the bloody sweep of Zhou Village, the third operational phase of the small Japanese devils' sweep of Jiaodong was about to end. The "Asai Squadron" took the squadron as a unit, withstood the howling northwest wind that made these "two devils" breathless, stepped on the knee-high snow, and continued to carry out the final end of the sweep that exterminated humanity. It is a pity that even if it is a "combing grate" tactic, it has not eliminated the party, government, and military leading organs in Jiaodong and the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it will inevitably discourage the "Asai Squadron" that has come by taking advantage of the excitement.

At this time, although the "Asai Squadron" was well-equipped and well-trained, it had long since lost the arrogance it had when it had just landed on the Jiaodong Peninsula. At that time, the "Asai Squadron" and the other Japanese puppet armies were divided into many units, maintained firepower contact with each other, carried out multi-way separate attacks and joint attacks, and pushed intensively and horizontally, just like combing hair and grate hair, not leaving one village or one household, not missing a mountain or a ravine, and combing grate search and advance. In order to thoroughly comb the grate, the "Asai Squadron" only marched a dozen kilometers a day, waving its flags and shouting during the day, advancing step by step, searching no mountains, combing no villages, burning haystacks, digging weirs, clearing caves, and even letting go of deserted nunnery and temples. At night, they camped on the spot, and every thirty or fifty paces along the encirclement, a wildfire was lit, guarded by five or six or a dozen or so two devils. At the slightest movement, a warning shot is fired. As soon as a gun goes off, they fire together. If they find the Eighth Route or guerrillas who have broken through, the little Japanese devils will use mobile troops to round up and pursue them. Kazuo Asai triumphantly boasted to the captain of the Ichiki wing: "As long as you enter the encirclement, the birds flying in the sky will be shot three times, and the rabbits running on the ground will be poked three times." It is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to escape. ……”

However, after more than a month of fighting, Kazuo Asai did not use what he had learned at the "Fengtian Central Army Training Office" in the puppet Manchukuo. Under the organization of the local party and government, and under the cover of the Eighth Route Army, the common people of Jiaodong have been known for their unity of heart, and they have carried out "fortified walls and clear fields" in various villages, and used "three emptiness" to deal with the "three lights" of the little Japanese devils, including the "Asai squadron." Even if the "Asai Squadron" entered the village, everywhere they went, the mines roared, and the two devils were terrified. It was easy to camp, and in the middle of the night, the sound of military trumpets was remembered in all directions, and it was difficult to distinguish everywhere, and I didn't know whether it was the sound of firecrackers or gunfire. The bullets of the earth eight roads may not be able to fly when they will come, but they are flickering from east to west, and they are impossible to prevent. As a result, on the first day of the "Great Sweep", the "Asai Squadron" fell into the dilemma of being teased by the Dirt Eight Road. It's like a pig falling into a well, and you can't do it if you have the strength.

Dirt Hachiro continued to harass and shoot from a distance unhurriedly. Although this kind of harassment shooting distance is long, sometimes if you are lucky, you will be accurate. The "sparrow war" has caused the well-trained "Asai Squadron" to be worried all day long, unable to sleep at the table, and unable to eat pleasantly, and there is no time to stop at all, so it is inevitable that they will complain. Seeing that his "Asai Squadron" had casualties before he saw the Eighth Road, Kazuo Asai was a little anxious and at a loss. Seeing that the morale of the army was becoming more and more dissipated, Kazuo Asai was getting stronger and stronger, and his eyes were red with anger. It's no wonder that Kazuo Asai is so angry, he is not familiar with the style of play of the Dirt Eight Road, and it is true that he is often slow by half a beat tactically, so it is inevitable that some impromptu decisions will be too late.

When Kazuo Asai received an order from Lieutenant General Jiro Tsuchihashi that old devil conveyed by Captain Ichiki, he ordered his "Asai Squadron" to stop moving towards Yantai and return to the Liaodong Peninsula, turn around and re-enter the Asan and Mashishan areas. Only then did he know that his "Asai Squadron" had caused a catastrophe because of the bloody washing of Zhou Village, and Xu Shiyou, commander of the Jiaodong Military Region, had issued a "must-kill order." Jumping out of Okamura Ninji's encirclement of "pulling the net and encircling it," the main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Jiaodong Military Region, which was engaged in the restlessness of the little Japanese devils in the Japanese-occupied areas, is returning one after another to encircle and intercept the "Asai Squadron" and surround it from all directions. The main force of the independent mixed Fifth Brigade of Major General Ginnosuke Uchida, the first division of the 59th Division of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Okumura, and the first part of the independent mixed seventh brigade of Major General Yoshitaro Hayashi, who was about to return to the station, also stopped returning to the station, preparing to gather and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong in one fell swoop.

All of a sudden, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong area and the little Japanese devils fought wits and courage, several times around, several battles, the situation in the Asan and Mashishan areas was like the weather, suddenly overcast, and the howling northwest wind was full of murderous aura everywhere.

Kazuo Asai and his "Asai squadron" have been wandering around Asan and Mashishan for several days, and there is not much of the supplies they have left. The main force of the Eighth Route Army had touched the vicinity of the "Asai Squadron" several times, and on one occasion the nearest distance was less than a kilometer. However, because several wings of the nearby little Japanese devils heard the news and surrounded them, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had to disappear into the ravine. The troops rushed into the air one after another, and Lieutenant General Jiro Tsuchihashi, the old devil, was inevitably a little anxious. He strictly ordered Kazuo Asai to intensify his activities, and he might as well burn a few more villages and kill some more ordinary people. Lieutenant General Jiro Tsuchihashi's order from that old devil frustrated Kazuo Asai, and he had an ominous omen, that is, it seemed that it would be difficult for Liaodong to go back. The hearts of the other officers and men of the "Asai Squadron" were even more cold, and some of them felt betrayed. is like Zhan Zhizhan said: "Two devils are two devils, and a fake son can't become a real son." ……”

The atrocities of the little Japanese devils, including the "Asai Squadron", seem to have angered the "mountain gods" of Asan and Mashishan. The "mountain god" was extremely disgusted with these beasts who were inferior to the two devils, and angrily imposed punishments. The biting cold wind whistled and blew vigorously, constantly burrowing through the cracks in the unwrapped fur hats of the "Asai Squadron". even stubbornly pierced the military coats of these two devils, and the biting cold directly drilled into the bone marrow of these two devils. The "Asai Squadron" was originally subordinate to the Kwantung Army of the little Japanese devils and was stationed in the Jinzhou area in the northeast for a long time. Therefore, among the Japanese puppet recalcitrant troops in this sweep, the cold equipment of the "Asai Squadron" was the best. But despite this, these two devils of the "Asai Squadron" can be regarded as experiencing the power of the cold northwest wind that is not inferior to the northeast, like a hell.

The rocks on the mountain froze stiff, the blackened trees shattered by the cannonballs cried wolves, the earth grinned, and the air seemed to freeze. Only a few crows screaming "wow" and "wow" on the corpses of the snow in the distance made the two devils of the "Asai Squadron" believe that they were still alive in the world and had not gone to hell after all. Although the snowflakes come in all kinds, some resemble silver needles, some resemble fallen leaves, and some resemble shredded paper, they are very beautiful. However, these two devils of the "Asai Squadron" were tightly wrapped in military coats, eager to shrink their heads into their chests, one by one they were frozen to a sore nose and headache, and their feet were like two ice lumps, and they didn't have the heart to appreciate the snow scene in Jiaodong that was different from that in the northeast.

Kazuo Asai didn't notice that seven or eight hundred meters away from his rearguard troops, eighteen men were following closely. These eighteen people were the "martial arts team" that was later praised by Xu Shiyou, commander of the Jiaodong Military Region, as the "Eighteen Flying Cavalry of Jiaodong". This small unit is not a formed force, but a commander and fighter of the Eighth Route Army who was scattered by the little Japanese devils in this Mashishan Breakout Battle. These people who survived the catastrophe all have flexible minds, have very good fist and foot skills, and have superb marksmanship. Either they are the old Red Army and the old Eighth Route with extremely rich combat experience, or they are the combat backbone of each unit, each of whom has expertise.

After the meeting, everyone talked about it, and it felt that these people still had combat effectiveness when they got together. As a result, a temporary unit was formed, named the "Jiaodong Military Region Armed Task Force," under the command of Tang Ci, chief of the Third Section of the Jiaodong Military Region Public Security Bureau, and persisted in carrying out the anti-sweeping struggle in the central base area and destroying the enemy in the course of maneuvering. Almost everyone in the "Jiaodong Eighteen Flying Cavalry" belongs to different units, including Zhan Dapeng of the Jiaodong Military Region Headquarters, that is, Zhan Zhizhan's father. There are also Gao Qishan, deputy platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 13th Regiment, as well as cadres and soldiers of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment of the Eastern Naval Division, and the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 17th Regiment.

There is also a person who will be very famous in the future, he is Ren Changlun, the squad leader of the fifth company of the second battalion of the 14th regiment. On the top of the majestic Yingling Mountain in the "Jiaodong Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery" where the "three family slaves" and Lieutenant Hong Yongnan went, there is a bronze statue of a soldier of the Eighth Route Army on the west side of the majestic Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Tower, and this bronze statue is Ren Changlun, a first-class combat hero of the Shandong Military Region. Standing with a gun and looking ahead, Ren Changlun has been guarding the beautiful Jiaodong Peninsula for 40 years. Ren Changlun died in the Battle of Changshabao in Jiaodong in July 1944 at the age of 23. A few years later, the hero's hometown of Sunhuzhuang was changed to "Changlun Village", and the company to which he belonged was named "Changlun Company".
