Chapter 1106 The first battle in Eastern Jin Dynasty!
"Sister, don't hesitate. You also said that the Japanese are more ferocious than jackals, tigers and leopards. Now that they are at war, what good ideas can they have sneaking onto this road? Anyone who may expose their whereabouts must be killed.
Kill them all!"
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the side was jumping anxiously at this moment, urging his sister in a series of words in the native language of the Jiuli people.
Don't tell me, he will stop being funny in times of crisis. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this logical analysis.
For this group of Japanese troops, the probability of wiping out any living people or villages they encountered on the march was higher than 90%, especially before they had completely entered the Taihang Mountains.
"I'll think about it again." Long Ying's brows furrowed fiercely, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
This is indeed an extremely difficult decision to make!
Yeyue Village is not like other bandit nests. If there is a large army to encircle and suppress them, they can just slap their butts and run away. Nowadays, there are thousands of people in the village, and not all of them are young and strong. There are also many old, weak, sick and disabled. They have lost the relatively warm caves and
Living in a stilted building in the mountains in early autumn, many people may not be able to survive.
Moreover, Yeyue Village has been here for more than 200 years. Ever since they began to marry the surrounding mountain villages for reproduction, they have never been able to separate themselves from these Han people. I don’t know how many people in the villages scattered around Yeyue Village are related to them.
There is a blood connection.
To put it bluntly, Yeyue Village still maintains the traditions of its own nation from the outside, but everyone knows that in terms of blood, their bodies also have the blood of the Han nation flowing in them. Those Han villagers are also their relatives.
.
It is impossible for the Jiuli people to abandon their loved ones like this.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? Our farthest warning point is only 8 miles away from the stockade. If the Japanese catch up, it will only take five sticks of incense at most." The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes jumped anxiously.
In desperation, he even went out of his way and directly called out to a group of his little brothers: "Little chicken, hurry up and inform everyone in the village to pack your things. You don't need anything else, but you must bring food. Go there."
Walk in the mountains to the southwest!"
This time, the thick eyebrows and big eyes were spoken in Jin provincial dialect, which was not so fluent. Obviously, he no longer worried about whether two outsiders heard him.
As soon as he said this, Shen Laoliu couldn't help but glance at this guy who almost defeated him just now.
In fact, this is what he wanted to give the female-headed man just now.
Going due west seems to be getting farther and farther away from the Japanese who are about to pursue them, but in fact it is the stupidest decision, because it is almost on the route of the Japanese army's advance.
To the northwest is the Niangziguan battlefield. If you run to the edge of the battlefield, are you sending yourself into the wolf's den?
Only the southwest is a possible safe zone!
Shen Laoliu could think of this based on the distribution of defense lines in the entire east of Shanxi, but the rustic in the village in front of him didn't know that, but his escape plan was the same as his. If this was the battlefield that Tang Tuanzuo often talked about
Intuitively, this guy is a talented fighter.
If it were normal, Shen Laoliu would have tricked this guy into joining the reconnaissance company of the Four Elements Regiment, but now
It’s more important to stay alive!
Seeing Shen Laoliu looking at him thoughtfully, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes probably thought at this moment that no matter how hateful the 'old bachelor' is, he is still a Chinese, and compared to the vicious Japanese that my sister said, they are still cute.
Duo persuaded: "I tell you two, don't be in a daze, the gun has been returned to you. Hurry up and run! If you don't run, it will be too late. The mountains will remain green and the rivers will flow forever, so let's say goodbye and see you again in the world."
"
Shen Laoliu and Zhang Saner smiled at each other when they heard the half-baked quackery of the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
It's not all because of the nondescript words of the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but because the pair of them have already made their decision, even if they didn't communicate in specific words.
Who are they? The soldiers of the Sixings Regiment, the most elite soldiers among the thousands of people in the regiment personally selected by Commander Tang, found out that the Japanese invaders were coming to attack the rear flank of the army. How could they retreat?
If they retreat, what will those comrades who are buried in Songjiang and buried on the battlefield of Guangde think of them?
"Boy, let's go!" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at the two soldiers who were standing straight and smiling at each other, and his heart suddenly trembled.
"Long Amei, what I said is right. The Japanese invaders will not let anyone alive on the road be spared when they attack this time. You and the people in the village should retreat in the direction I just said! Run as fast as you can.
If it's far away, the Japanese also have their missions and won't pursue them." Shen Laoliu smiled slightly and suggested to Long Ying who was still making a decision.
"Hey, old bachelor, don't yell randomly, I'm not my brother! Also, is there something in your words?" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes curled his lips.
Although this guy looked funny on the outside, he was actually very delicate on the inside. He could faintly feel that the two soldiers in front of him had no intention of leaving!
But, is this a trick on the head? There are more than 200 fully armed troops! Not to mention the two of them, even if they add the entire village of 400 young men, what will happen?
"Haha, your name is Long Yan, right? You are very good, and the fight just now was great, but I, Shen Laoliu, am not ranked high in the reconnaissance company of our Fourth Army Regiment in terms of hand-to-hand combat.
The commander of our regiment often said: The pond is the whole world of the toad, but the sky of the dragon has no limit.
If you want to change your life that day, go to our Four Elements Regiment. The commander of our regiment is called Tang Dao, the company commander is nicknamed Lao Hei, and the deputy company commander is Gu Xishui. Tell any of them that it is Shen Laoliu and Zhang
San'er jointly recommends you, and you will find that people in this world are more than just living." Shen Laoliu did not directly answer the question of the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but gently patted his shoulder and said meaningfully.
If it were in the past, how could the thick eyebrows and big eyes that responded to everyone in the village make people pat him on the shoulder like he was lecturing a younger brother? Even a close sister would not do this.
But at this moment, I don't know why, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, I have the illusion that the man in front of me is qualified.
It seems that he and his sister are indeed a perfect match, with a temperament that cannot be described in words.
If Tang Tuanzuo were here, he would tell him that this is the temperament that only true soldiers have.
"Everyone, what happened today is all a misunderstanding. Although we are of different races, we are also brothers and sisters of the Chinese nation. I hope you can escape the disaster and return home. We will meet again one day." Shen Laoliu said no more and put his semi-automatic rifle on his back.
, inserted the magazine, inserted the Black Star pistol into the gun bag tied to his thigh, and strode away.
"Hey, brother, where are you going?" The thick eyebrows were stunned and he quickly chased after him.
"Haha, Brother Long, you still have to say it so clearly!" Zhang San'er, who was following closely behind, turned around.
"Of course we are going to fight the Japanese invaders. Our commander took us to swear an oath in front of the tombstones of our brothers who died in the battle. As long as there is one breath left in our entire army, we will fight the Japanese invaders to the end. They will come to sneak attack on us.
Brother, how can we let them do what they want?"
"But there are hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and you two are useless." He was dumbfounded with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and then he jumped on his feet and said.
To be honest, he really doesn't like Shen Laoliu with thick eyebrows and big eyes, especially when he looks at his sister with admiration in his eyes, but when he puts his rifle on his back and turns his head and strides forward, his resolute and firm back is really handsome
!
But that kind of handsomeness must be exchanged for death. If there are more than 200 Japs, no matter how awesome they are, killing dozens of them is already the limit!
"Why bother? You two go back to your four-line group, wouldn't it be better to ask your commander to send more manpower, and then fight them together? It's just the two of you now, so why bother?" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes seemed to be saying.
Advising them seems to be persuading myself.
It seemed that a thought was rising in his heart that he couldn't even express, and that made him a little scared.
"Long Yan, you haven't seen our chief. Maybe if you have, you won't say this. Our chief has said that if one person retreats, a hundred people will retreat; if a hundred people retreat, ten thousand people will retreat; if ten thousand people retreat, the nation will perish. We
, As a soldier, you cannot retreat." Shen Laoliu turned his head and replied sonorously.
There is no sunlight shining slantly on the body to emit brilliance.
However, everyone present still felt that there was light in the two soldiers.
There is really light.
Maybe it’s because the tears in your eyes are shining!
Long Ying has been silent all this time.
She was already full of tears.
Such a good sentence cannot be withdrawn!
Last time, it was a general who said this.
The major general brigade commander holding a broadsword also stood in front of the entire army and shouted: "If our soldiers retreat, the country will be in danger! I am willing to die with you in this battle!"
In countless dreams, Long Ying in the village dreamed of his comrades who rushed into the enemy camp with him!
The battle report only recorded that that night, 1,500 Japanese soldiers were killed by the thick-backed swords of the Northwest Army with their heads rolling on the Haierling position in Xifengkou. But who could have known that of the 2,000 people who rushed into the position, only 1,000 were returned in the end?
The heads of 1,500 Japanese invaders were exchanged for the lives of 1,000 comrades from the Northwest Army.
Long Ying clearly remembered that after destroying the Japanese artillery positions, Japanese reinforcements were about to arrive. When she was retreating, she met a seriously injured comrade. She wanted to carry him away, but he was furious, but firmly shook his head and refused.
She knew that he didn't know that she was seriously injured and dying, but that he didn't want to drag herself down.
In his hands, he had been holding tightly two unscrewed grenades. His only request was to give him two more grenades.
After leaving with tears in my eyes, less than a moment after I burned the incense, there was an explosion behind me that resounded through the night sky!
It was not their home, but they never spared their flesh and blood, just like the two soldiers in front of them!
But this is her home!
People can run away, but if their family is gone, those relatives who have no time to run may be brutally slaughtered!
Long Ying's eyes gradually became determined, and she finally made her decision!
"You two, wait! I'll go with you!" Long Ying suddenly said.
Shen Laoliu and Zhang Saner were stunned!
The thick eyebrows and big eyes widened even more, "Sister, you are crazy!"
"I'm not crazy!" Long Ying shook his head gently. "Yeyue Village is my home. As the leader of Yeyue Village, if the Japanese pirates come, I can only hide with my people in danger.
It will bring shame to my Jiuli ancestors! Abba will also regret leaving the position of leader to me!"
"Besides, I am still a Chinese soldier!"
Long Ying slowly took off the silver jewelry on his neck and head, slung the long knife at his waist across his back, then took out two box cannons from the box behind him and inserted them crosswise into his waist. The fully loaded magazine had enough bullets.
10 pieces, wrapped in cloth embroidered with flowers, and slung around the waist.
After everything was packed up, a beautiful female leader in military uniform strode forward, raised her hand in a military salute: "Long Ying, former Army Sergeant of the 29th Army, please return to the army!"
Everyone was shocked!
Including Shen Laoliu and two others.
Although they already knew that this beautiful female-headed woman had served in the army, they never imagined that she would choose to return to the army at this time.
This is not the time to be cool, this is life-threatening.
Facing 200 enemy troops, is there a difference between three and two? Even if there is an additional 0 at the end?
"Long Amei, don't make trouble!" Shen Laoliu held it in for a long time, and then he said this out of nowhere.
After saying that, Shen Laoliu couldn't help but blush.
It seems that only people who are very close can say this. Are they familiar with each other? It seems that it has only been a quarter of an hour since they first met.
But there is a saying: Any encounter is fate!
"Sir, I just took leave to return to my hometown. Sir, I promised that my military status will be valid no matter when I return!" Long Ying's pretty face was slightly red, but she replied solemnly.
"But"
"Sister! If you are leaving, what will happen to the village? What should I do?" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him blushed with anxiety.
"Brother, you have grown up. Sister, I can't stay with you forever. Just be obedient and leave with the uncles and grannies in the village, and then come back after a month! Don't worry, I will be back." Long Ying looked at her.
He looked at his brother and said softly.
"You lied, just like you lied to me when I was a child. You said you would bring sweets for me to eat in the past few days, but it has been more than ten years since you left. Even my parents left and I haven't seen you. You are now
You want to lie to me again, I don’t believe it!” The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes yelled, but there were tears in his eyes.
Long Ying's face was full of sadness!
But the firm look in his eyes did not change, and he motioned to Shen Laoliu and the others: "I am familiar with the terrain in that area, come with me!"
"I don't know anyone in that area! I'll lead the team!" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly shouted.
"Brother, don't make trouble!" Long Ying subconsciously said the same rejection as Shen Laoliu.
"Hmph! Sister, please don't fool me with your big ideas. Since you said you would bring shame to your ancestors, wouldn't it be possible for me, the successor of the leader, to hide in hiding?" The logic of the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes turned out to be unexpected.
Very online.
"Besides, who are we, the Jiuli clan, afraid of in this world?" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes straightened his chest against the bear's fur, pulled out his long sword, and looked at his younger brothers around him proudly. "I
Brothers, do you think we Jiuli warriors will watch our leaders fight for us?"
"war!"
"kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The surrounding young men of the Jiuli tribe all drew out their long swords and responded loudly.
More than twenty long knives shone with a fierce light under the morning sun at 8 o'clock in the morning, coupled with the constant shouting of "Kill!", it actually made Shen Laoliu, a veteran who had experienced countless battlefields, tremble.
feel.
"There are 400 young men in our clan, and we are willing to fight in this battle!" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stared at his sister, raised the long knife in his hand, and scratched it with his palm, and blood dripped down the blade. "We will fight until we die!"
"I'm willing to fight!" The rest of the young men, like Long Yan, drew the blade with their left palms, letting the blood flow on the long knife.
Long Ying's face turned pale. She knew that this was a blood oath made by Jiuli tribe warriors. Once they broke the oath, they would be cast aside by all the tribesmen!
But pride flashed in her eyes, these were her people, although they were weak, there was no one who was timid.
Her brother finally grew up!
"Okay!" Long Ying raised the long knife and cut his palm as an oath.
Shen Laoliu
You guys are just hurting me before you fight!
Fortunately, the Jiuli warrior was not that stupid. He swore to cut his left hand seriously. It was just a cut on the surface of the skin. He didn't even need to sprinkle any powder on his left hand, and the bleeding stopped quickly.
Since we are going to fight, we cannot rely only on cold weapons. Hot weapons are necessary.
Take a look at all the hot weapons in the village. Not to mention, there are up to 120 blunderbuss stuffed with iron sand and projectiles. The range can be as high as 100 meters, and the spray surface is not comparable to that of a rifle. With this kind of gun,
If the trolls occupy the high ground, it will not be easy for the Japanese to attack them.
In addition, there are 16 old Hanyang-made rifles and 6 box cannons, and there are also good gunners in the village who can use them.
Of course, the most impressive one is the 300-kilogram stone mortar. This ancient artillery, which was born hundreds of years ago, is actually the predecessor of the mortar, which means its range is not as far as modern artillery.
But when the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes showed Shen Laoliu a round in person, Shen Laoliu was stunned!
The range is not far, only four to five hundred meters, but the power of the iron-cased cannonball, which is as big as a human head, is not small. When the pig-iron shell plus the iron sand stuffed inside explodes in the air, it has a killing radius of at least 15 meters.
That's totally a cluster grenade thrower!
However, Yeyue Village has accumulated nearly 100 artillery shells over the years. The cliff can let the Japanese know what Tiannu Sanhua is!
Besides, what the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said makes sense, first use guns and cannons, and if that doesn't work, use white knives in and red knives out. We have 400 people anyway, no matter what, we have to beat them until they can't even recognize their mother!
If it were a plain, no matter how many 400 people there were, it would probably be difficult to get close to the Japanese. But now it was a big mountain, and it was also the home field of Yeyue Village, so it was not just a matter of letting the Japanese have the final say.
All the old, weak, women and children retreated according to the original plan, carrying food and bedding to the southwest, with 50 young men and women escorting them.
Another nearly 400 people, carrying guns and cannons and shells, rushed towards the mountain pass six miles away.
I am afraid that at this time, the nearly 200,000 troops invested by China and Japan in Shanxi Province did not expect that the first battle in Shanxi Province would be led by a civilian from a Chinese village.
