Few people in the Northeast Army do not know Ma Xingkong's name. One reason is that Ma Xingkong is Zhang Xueliang's eldest brother. The second reason is that Ma Xingkong caused a stir in the capital and is known to the whole world. The third reason is that Ma Xingkong
Kong is not only capable, but also has a beautiful wife.
When the officer heard what Yu Mu said, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly saluted. After thinking about it, he put his hand down again: "Didn't you defect to the Japanese? Did you want to trick our brothers into committing suicide?"
"Who said I surrendered to the Japanese? I am an upright Chinese!" Ma Xingkong said angrily.
The officer smiled: "Everyone who came back from Japan said this, saying that Ma Xingkong not only changed his Japanese name but also married a Japanese woman. Didn't he fall into someone else's beauty trap?"
"Pa!" A loud slap hit the officer's face hard. Ma Xingkong opened his eyes wide: "I married a Japanese woman, but I did not surrender to the Japanese. If anyone spreads rumors about me in the future, I will
Destroy him!"
The officer was suffocated by Ma Xingkong's momentum. He covered his cheek with one hand and put the other hand on the gun handle, but did not dare to pull out his pistol. Mu Yunchen hurriedly walked out: "I am Mu Mu, a medic of the 31st Army.
Yun Chen, I can prove that Battalion Commander Ma Xingkong was ordered by the Marshal to stay in Japan to perform a secret mission. This time we went back to China after all the hard work just to fight against Little Japan!"
There was a buzzing discussion in the crowd, and Yu Mu also followed: "I can also prove that Camp Commander Ma is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and fear of death. He is a bloody Chinese. I am willing to follow Camp Commander Ma and Little Japan."
If we fight again, whoever is willing to follow can leave!"
Ma Xingkong glanced at the officer, separated the crowd, and led his group and Yu Mu to walk behind the defeated soldiers. They did not look back. According to the usual situation, someone would definitely follow. After walking a long way,
Almost a hundred meters away, Monk Tongming glanced back secretly, turned to Ma Xingkong and said: "Brother, no one is following us!"
Ma Xingkong stopped and looked back: "They are all a bunch of losers!"
"Who is this coward!" The officer who was beaten before said immediately: "We also crawled over from the pile of dead people, didn't we just die? Twenty years later, we are a good man again, I will go with you!"
Under the leadership of this officer, a large number of defeated soldiers regained their courage, grasped the guns in their hands, and followed. From the south gate of Changchun City to the north gate, Ma Xingkong wanted to lead them to fight the Japanese again.
What happened at the scene quickly spread among the defeated soldiers, and more and more defeated soldiers joined Ma Xingkong's team. By the time they left the north city gate, there were already thousands of them.
Ma Xingkong looked at the officer next to him who had been slapped by him, and asked, "What's your name? If you can come back alive this time, I'll buy you a drink!"
The officer smiled and touched his face: "I am the company commander of the third company of the Changchun Garrison Brigade. My name is Zhang Yongnian! My family is a butcher. If the Japanese come and kill my father, I will kill the Japanese and come out as a butcher."
Soldiers!"
"You have the guts! Better than me!" Ma Xingkong gave a thumbs up.
According to Yu Mu's guidance and Mu Yunchen's speculation, if the Japanese win a battle, they will definitely take a short rest first, and then divide their troops into three groups to besiege Changchun. As Mu Yunchen spoke, he drew a simple picture on the ground.
map. Ma Xingkong nodded: "I think so too. Changchun is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Japanese will never besiege it from all sides. They just want to create pressure to make your defenders evacuate Changchun and then take over the empty city themselves!"
"
"These bastard Japanese are so cunning!" Zhang Yongnian cursed.
"The west should be the main direction of the Japanese attack!" Ma Xingkong pointed to the west of the city: "The terrain here is open. I heard you said that the Japanese have tanks and cars, so it is best to go this way."
Everyone nodded. "What places are there in the west?" Ma Xingkong asked.
Yu Mu hurriedly said: "From Changchun to the west, the highway turns north and goes straight to Harbin. There are no dangerous places along the way, except Heixiazigou. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the highway happens to be between the two mountains. But in terms of time,
I’m afraid it’s too late.”
"How far is Heixiazigou from here?" Ma Xingkong asked.
"There are still fifteen miles!"
Ma Xingkong took a breath, looked up at the sky, and stood up with a sigh: "Okay, that's it. Don't rest. I tell everyone that you must feel the Heixiazi ditch before it gets dark, and throw away everything you can."
Alright, let’s go!”
Marching in a hurry, it was almost dark. The advance team arrived at Heixiazitou, and Yu Mu sent someone back to report. Ma Xingkong asked: "Have you found any trace of Little Japan?"
"No, everything is calm!"
"That's good! Everyone, work harder and rest when you reach your destination. Hurry!" Ma Xingkong waved back, and the marching speed increased a bit.
Mu Yunchen frowned: "It stands to reason that the Japanese have cars and tanks, so their marching speed should be very fast. Why are they so calm? Could it be that the Japanese don't take this road?"
Zhang Yongnian said: "Impossible! If the Japanese really come from this way, this is the only road suitable for cars. The rest are all small roads and mountain roads, which cannot be passed by cars at all."
Ma Xingkong looked at the terrain on the left and right, thought for a while and said: "No matter what, let's go to Heixiazigou first and have a look! You can't look forward and backward in a war. Once you have decided, you will fight to the end, even if it is wrong!"
Heixiazigou is indeed dangerous. Although the cliffs on both sides are not steep, they are still 30 to 40 degrees. According to Ma Xingkong's instructions, the men and horses they brought were divided into two groups, led by Yu Mu and Zhang Yongnian respectively, and ambush on the left and right sides of the road. In addition,
Send some sentinels to continue moving forward to search for traces of the Japanese.
The sky was already dark, and it was not a good night tonight. It was overcast with clouds, and the moon was not visible at all. The slight north wind was blowing on me and I was still a little cold. Ma Xingkong took off his clothes and put them on Chiyoko: "It will be really cool in a while.
If a fight breaks out, you and Mr. Jin will stay here and don't show your face!" Chiyoko nodded obediently.
At about ten o'clock, one of the soldiers sent ran back: "Here we come! There are quite a few people, almost a regiment, and two tanks! I don't know where they went to rob, and everyone was talking and laughing.
, with the looted items still on their bayonets, damn, these bastards!"
"Okay!" Ma Xingkong smiled slightly: "Tell the brothers to prepare!"
"What about the tanks? We don't have anything to deal with tanks!" Mu Yunchen suddenly asked. Monk Tongming, Yu Mu, and Zhang Yongnian all turned to look at Ma Xingkong.
Ma Xingkong looked at the soldiers' equipment, rifles, and bullets. Some of them had a few grenades on them, and some didn't even have guns. Their thin military uniforms shivered in the cold wind. Ma Xingkong scratched his head: "I
Forget about this, how far are the Japanese from here?"
"The leading troops are less than two miles away! They will arrive soon!" The soldier who reported the news also looked very anxious.
