Hou Dashun asked the Volunteer Army to prepare for the expedition. Li Chunrun, Su Yongmin and Wang Dayong discovered that the Volunteer Army soldiers had lost their former fighting spirit and did not want to take risks behind enemy lines to fight desperately!
"How could this happen?" Li Chunrun wiped cold sweat, feeling incredible about the current changes.
"They are nostalgic for the happy life in Rehe Autonomous Province, and they are even more intoxicated by the enthusiasm here!" Su Yongmin has gone through the test of life and death and can understand everyone's mood now.
When the anti-Japanese volunteer officers and soldiers arrived, the people walked out of the city gate to welcome the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers. More than 10 larger businesses and governments organized employees to pull carts of rice, flour, clear oil and beef and mutton to reward the officers and soldiers. Rehe only had
The two-person drama club organized actors to perform condolence performances at the officers and soldiers' camps. Almost overnight, all the shops, restaurants, bathhouses, stations, and theaters in the city displayed bright red slogans such as "Volunteers at a 30% Discount" and "Welcome the Anti-Japanese Officers and Soldiers"
.
Most of the officers and soldiers have been melted by the enthusiasm of the people of all ethnic groups in Rehe. Although they don't say it with their mouths, they still don't want to live a long-distance life in their hearts. After returning from the death line, they have lost their fighting spirit and spirit.
Edge.
"Who is willing to return to the Northeast with me? Have you all forgotten your family and your ancestors?" Li Chunrun was angry. After training for so long, he now knows that these people have changed. They have psychological barriers and it is difficult to return to the battlefield.
I won't fight to the death with the enemy.
"Forget it!" Hou Dashun shook his head: "General Li, reorganize them into a construction corps. We will fight the Japanese. I will consider sending new troops."
"Hey!" Wang Dazong punched himself on the head angrily: "If I don't stay here, my brothers will go with me to fight the Japanese army!"
"I was so angry that I leaned against the railing, and the rain stopped.
Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement.
Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon.
Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray and he will be filled with sorrow.
The shame of Jingkang is still not over.
The hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed!
Driving a long car, crossing the gap in Helan Mountain.
The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty.
Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que."
Hou Dashun recited Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong", and after stopping, he said: "Brothers, I understand. You have endured hardship and narrowly escaped death to get back here! However, if the little devil is not driven out, there is no guarantee of a happy life! Since
If you choose to stay, I will treat you like my own brothers! But I will not support you. I will use my own hands to build and work!
I declare: Each volunteer soldier will receive two kilograms of grain and one kilogram of mutton per day and a monthly salary of five yuan. The squad leader will receive seven yuan, the platoon leader will receive ten yuan, the company commander will receive fifteen yuan, and the battalion commander will receive twenty yuan. I hope to be able to work in a new position.
You have done your best, so that I can recognize that you are a man!"
"I don't want money, I want to pick up a gun and continue fighting with the Japs!" Wang Dayong stood up again and roared at the group of people who didn't want to go behind enemy lines: "I stand with these ghosts who are afraid of death.
His face is so full of shame!"
Everyone lowered their heads, with shame on their faces but unable to take a difficult step. Li Chunrun sighed: "That's it, that's all. You don't go far to the enemy-occupied areas because you are afraid of death! Losing your blood means that you can't become
A warrior!"
Hou Dashun persuaded: "They are all farmers, workers, hunters and herdsmen. It was the little devils who forced them to pick up guns and stand up to resist! How many are not afraid of death? Who doesn't want to live well? Unless the Japanese pirates are eliminated, they will never go anywhere.
It is a paradise of happiness. Captain Wang, you can choose some of the new arrivals to fulfill your wish to go behind enemy lines!"
Of the fifteen thousand volunteers, only a thousand were willing to pick up guns and go to the Northeast again. Li Chunrun, Su Yongmin, and Wang Dayong fought with each other, but Hou Dashun stopped them: "Let Captain Wang lead them, and the remaining people will also
If it needs management, the Construction Corps will be left to you two to take care of it for me!"
Wang Dayong was brave, energetic, courageous and resourceful. Hou Dashun had long been fond of this bloody man who was older than him. A thousand people were added from the newly arrived personnel, and a regular regiment-level detachment was quickly established.
The original volunteers' weapons were confiscated and quickly delivered to the new soldiers. Looking at the volunteers who were ready to go behind enemy lines, Hou Dashun choked up and said: "Captain Wang, you have a narrow escape from death fighting behind enemy lines. Remember not to blindly fight to the death with the Japanese!"
I want them all to come back alive, and I want them all to see the day of victory!"
"What's the fear of death, what's the joy of life! Since ancient times, no one has ever died, and his loyalty will be remembered in history! Brothers, are you afraid of death?" Wang Dayong looked at his team mightily and shouted loudly.
"Don't be afraid!"
"Yes, we can't be afraid, and we don't have to be afraid! The little devils are also human beings, and they are also born from their parents. We have our own hands. When the bullets are gone, we still have a big knife, and we have ten fingers and two fists. We use our teeth to bite
I have to fight the little devil to the end!"
Wang Dayong spoke excitedly, and gave a solemn military salute to Hou Dashun: "Commander, I will not ask for a bullet or a gun from you again. If the enemies have weapons, I will get them from them!"
Hou Dashun shook his head and said to Wang Dayong: "Just fight, we will find ways to help you when difficulties arise. Remember, you must divide into small groups to attack sneakily, and when you are sure, concentrate your superior forces to wipe out the enemy all the way!"
"Yes, I'll write it down and let's go!"
Wang Dayong's goal was Tongyu, which was flat and the Japanese defense was relatively weak. The biggest advantage was that there were boundless grasslands and reeds, and there was a source of war horses and room for maneuver by the Japanese army.
Seeing the volunteers setting off, Hou Dashun said to Li Chunrun: "The Jehol Autonomous Province needs to build a road to Mongolia. This task will be left to you. Commander Feng Yuguo, give the drawings to Commander Li, issue the tools and start setting off!"
The weapons were replaced by tools. At this time, many soldiers woke up from their nightmares. They held their heads and cried, crying and saying: "We want guns and we want to go behind enemy lines!"
Hou Dashun looked at them coldly: "You have lost your souls! Sound limbs and healthy bodies, but unfortunately they are all severely mutilated souls, an almost completely empty soul! You are not qualified to be a warrior, I hope you can be one
I am satisfied with hard-working and kind-hearted people!”
Hou Dashun's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of these people who had lost all their energy and sharpness. The words family, hero, hero, and anti-Japanese seemed to be far away from them, and they would be condemned by their own consciences!
"Stop crying!" Li Chunrun roared majestically, and said to his brave men in the past: "The road construction is also to support the resistance against Japan. I hope you still have a little blood. The barrel of the gun is lost, and the pickaxe and shovel are also weapons. We have to use them.
Take practical actions to repay the government and people of Jehol Autonomous Province, even if your blood is spilled on this land!"
"Yes!" Hou Dashun changed his expression and said with a slight smile: "Two kilograms of grain and one kilogram of mutton are not for you to gain weight. They are for you to use your sweat to build a channel for transporting anti-Japanese supplies. The task is very arduous. I will come back when it is completed.
I’ll give you a credit!”
"Yes, let's go!" Li Chunrun agreed on behalf of everyone, waving his hand and leading the troops to set off.
After the Japanese sneak attack, Hou Dashun, Hu Zhigang, and Feng Yuguo repeatedly discussed how to change the surrounding defense issues. It was impossible to use troops to defend the thousands-kilometer-long border. What should we do?
"Build a trench three meters wide and three meters deep, and draw river water to fill it! Put some nets in the trenches, and pay attention to opening more passages to go out. Each passage should be defended by a company. Troops should patrol regularly and check the grids.
Has it been destroyed?" Hu Zhiyong sent a telegram in time to explain this huge project.
All troops joined this great project, and there was only a two-day training plan every week. Seeing that the autonomous province had no intention of attacking, the Japanese army felt relieved and began to wave their claws on the front line of the Great Wall.
On March 10, the 37th Division started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese mixed 14th Brigade that attacked the second gate of Xifengkou and the highlands on both sides. The highlands on both sides changed hands many times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army then used one part to guard the gate, and the main force
Concentrate on the north side of the Great Wall and wait.
On the night of the 11th, the 29th Army took advantage of the exhaustion of the Japanese army and used a roundabout night attack tactic with about 2 brigades to go behind the enemy lines, severely inflicting heavy damage on the Japanese army and destroying more than ten artillery pieces. After that, with the cooperation of the first section of the 38th Division,
After five days and nights of frontal resistance and detours behind enemy lines, the Japanese troops were finally forced to stop their offensive and faced off at Xifengkou, Dongjiakou, Tiemenguan, Panjiakou and other places.
The Japanese army failed to attack Xifengkou, so the 4th Brigade attacked Luowenyu and Shanyu from Happy Forest on the 17th. The temporary 2nd Division of the 29th Army defending there resisted tenaciously and counterattacked in a roundabout way. After three days and nights of fierce fighting, the position changed hands ten times.
The remaining times, the Japanese army was defeated and retreated.
The Blood Wolf Team and Hu Pengsheng's Special Team who were fighting guerrillas here bid farewell to the Sharpshooters who were fighting with them after seeing the Japanese retreat. The captain said excitedly: "My commander has already changed defense and left. He told us to let us
Follow the commander to fight the Japanese!"
"Come with us?" Yongxiang was surprised: "Our army is composed of Manchus, and the young master will not let you join."
"Report to the captain, I am a Manchu!" The captain of the sharpshooting team pointed at his subordinates: "They are all Manchus, and they are from the Kuandian area."
Hu Pengsheng looked at the more than 100 active sharpshooters and said to Yongxiang: "Take them in, go back and train them hard, and they will all be qualified special forces members in a year!"
Yongxiang looked seriously at the hopeful National Army soldiers: "I can't guarantee that you can join my Blood Wolf Team, but I can take you to the Jehol Autonomous Province. Only after training can I determine whether you are a
Qualified blood wolf warrior!"
"Captain, we are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice on the front line. As long as you train us carefully, our wishes can come true!" The captain of the sharpshooting team raised his hand: "Who doesn't want to go out?"
"Captain, we all listen to you!" a national army sharpshooter shouted loudly, expressing his willingness to follow his commander.
"You don't listen to me, you listen to them!" The captain pointed at Yongxiang and said: "We have separated from the national army. This is what the brigade commander, General He Zhuguo, ordered. He said: We are good soldiers. Only by following this group of people can we gain more troops."
Kill the devils!"
"Kill the devils, kill the devils!" More than a hundred people waved their arms and shouted, and Yongxiang sighed: "I will fulfill your wishes, and I hope you will keep your vigor and sharpness, so that the little devils will be scared when they see us!
