The Kwantung Army's frontline headquarters in Jinzhou is busy searching, the Japanese Sixth Division headquarters in Jianchang is busy searching, and the Eighth Division headquarters in Lingyuan is also busy searching. They are all busy looking for the same target - repeatedly
Gu Changfeng of the Anjia Army, who caused harm to various Japanese military units and caused great disgrace to the Kwantung Army.
Almost no Japanese general could have imagined that the nearly 10,000 soldiers who traveled 47 kilometers overnight in extremely bad weather and arrived at the front line of Wuhu Mountain in the northeast of Karaqin Zuo Banner at 6 a.m. only had half a rest.
Hours later, we set off again, crossing the frozen surface of the upper reaches of the Daling River, traveling 14 kilometers via Beigang Fork and Shuiquangou. At 9:10 in the morning, we stationed at Dazhaosugou at the western foot of Luotuo Ridge, hiding among the rolling mountains and vastness.
Among the forest.
Dazhaosugou is a small village with a population of more than 300 people. The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. To the south is an open land of more than 700 acres wide. There are paths to the north, south and west leading to the outside world. In the middle of winter, the mountains are blocked by ice and snow.
, the small roads are not easy to walk on, and it is barely possible to ride a horse, but it is absolutely impossible to pull up a cart. This shows that the nearly 10,000 soldiers of Gu Changfeng's department had a difficult journey.
For generations, the villagers of Dazhaosugou have only cultivated more than 700 acres of land to obtain subsistence rations, and the rest of their lives have been hunting and logging. Due to poor transportation, no one has cut down the century-old trees all over the mountains and plains.
Is deeply isolated from the world
In the mountains, life was prosperous and comfortable. Almost every household used high-quality logs that could be carried by one person as pillars, strong square logs and thick pine bark as tile roofs, and two layers of logs as walls. They lived in a spacious place.
Not to mention, it's very warm.
It’s just that after the September 18th Incident, the smiles on the faces of the old and young in the village disappeared. With the emergence of waves of refugees, many villages within a hundred miles have long been deserted. The villagers are reluctant to leave the place where their ancestors have lived for generations.
However, I worry every day that the evil-doing Japanese devils will break in, shatter the centuries-old peace of the mountain village, and bring about disasters such as family destruction and death.
More than three months ago, Sun Fu's brigade from Yang Jiuxiao's army entered this mountain village, confirming the tragic news of the outside world, and at the same time showing their determination to fight the war to the end and drive little Japan out of the Northeast. The honest and kind-hearted villagers like to
The two young men from the Orion family in the village could not help but feel the passion in their hearts as they looked upon the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War like brothers and nephews.
, with the yearning for military life and the hope of driving away the invaders, they resolutely joined Yang Jiuxiao's brigade. One of them, named Su Zhiguo, had already died on the battlefield of Butterfly Valley, and the other was named Su Bingguo.
Now he is the deputy company commander of the special agent company directly under Yang Jiuxiao's Second Independent Division. He is also the only sniper in Yang Jiuxiao's department recognized by sniper instructor Ding Jiahu.
Su Bingguo has just turned twenty-one this year. Since he was seven years old, he has followed his father and a group of uncles to hunt in the mountains and fish in rivers. He has developed a strong body and perseverance since he was a child. However, he has not been able to do anything since he was a child.
I like to go to the only old master restaurant in the village.
In the literacy school, Su Bingguo didn't like to recite the Three Character Classic and Zengguang Xianwen. Every time he skipped school, he would be sued by the old master. Su Bingguo's father would angrily beat him up. It was precisely because of this beating that Su Bingguo learned
For general writing and writing, add Yang
After the Jiuxiao tribe went out to fight the Japanese, he could barely understand two-thirds of the words in a newspaper handed to him by his superiors. He could even connect the words he didn't understand and get a general idea. He turned out to be one of the few literate brothers in the army.
One of them, he was therefore appointed as platoon leader. Gu Changfeng led
After the troops entered western Liaoning, Yang Jiuxiao formed his own special agent company. Su Bingguo also became the warrant officer platoon leader of the special agent company because of his strong physique and solid shooting skills. He performed well in the two great victories in western Liaoning, killing 37 Japanese and puppet soldiers.
With meritorious service, he was promoted to lieutenant and company deputy.
Su Bingguo, who returned home at this time, took off his coat and fur hat, revealing a military uniform and equipment. In the tearful eyes of his grandmother, parents, elder brother, and an elder sister, he knelt respectfully in front of the incense table in the main hall and paid homage to his ancestors.
He kowtowed three times at the memorial tablet, took the three sticks of incense handed to him by his brother, raised them flat to his forehead, bowed respectfully three times, stood up and inserted them into the incense burner.
The father, who was in his early forties, was still strong, but the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible. He quietly wiped away the tears on his face with his calloused hands, stepped forward to help his son, who was kowtowing to him, and asked calmly.
Said: "San'er, why don't you invite your superior to come and sit at home?"
"Dad, Chief Gu and our teachers have all gone to Zhiguo... Zhiguo... Zhiguo was killed by Japanese artillery shells during the fierce battle in Butterfly Valley..."
Although Su Bingguo lowered his head, he clearly felt the trembling from his father's hands, and quickly helped his father sit on the wide bench next to him.
Hearing Su Bingguo's answer, grandma and mother shed tears again, and then looked up and down in panic, carefully observing that their clothes and temperament had changed greatly. Fortunately, they didn't find anything unusual.
Because her fiancé was captured by the Japanese and died while building a road, my sister, who had become a widow before she got married, quickly stepped forward to help her mother sit next to her father, and then helped her grandmother, who was in poor health, into the house to rest. The sixteen-year-old sister
After being sad, throw away the long shiny black braids
He ran to his brother in two steps, stretched out his slender hand, touched the exquisite and beautiful Colt holster on his waist and the part of the holster that was exposed. When he saw his brother subconsciously holding down the holster, he quickly retracted his hand.
, raised his handsome fair face, pouted his little mouth and asked:
"Second brother is so stingy that he can't even touch it... Second brother, people say that those who can carry a small pistol are senior officers, and everyone below the battalion commander can only carry a German-made mirror case. What on earth do you think of carrying this small gun?"
How high an official did you become?"
When the little sister said this, the whole family began to look at Su Bingguo carefully again. They couldn't get enough of looking up and down. The father's eyes roamed over his son's body, and finally landed on the exquisite dagger and beautiful leather gun holster on his son's wide belt.
Su Bingguo's Chinese-character face flushed, but he was slightly shy for a moment, and then quickly returned to his original calmness. He looked into his parents' expectant eyes and reported in a low voice:
"Father, mother, my son did not embarrass our old Su family, nor did he embarrass our fellow villagers in Dazhao Sugou. In various battles in western Liaoning, my son used the marksmanship that his father taught him since he was a child, and he killed twenty people.
Four Japanese officers and soldiers have now been promoted to lieutenant and company deputy through meritorious deeds.
Become the most elite officer of the special agent company under General Yang Jiuxiao. When he returns home next time, his son will take back the seventh-level Baoding Medal awarded by Chairman Chiang and our Commander An Yi, and put it in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet so that the ancestor can see it.
There is a successor to the old Su family."
When the mother heard that her son had killed twenty-four Japanese soldiers, her scalp became numb and she was already half paralyzed with fear. Her sister quickly hugged her mother and whispered comfort. Brother Su Bingguo had a look of worry and admiration in his eyes, while his younger sister opened her eyes wide.
He closed his eyes and looked at his second brother in disbelief. Only his father's eyes were shining, and his expression was extremely proud. He stretched out his big hand to take his son, and patted his son's arm lovingly:
"Okay, well done! You are worthy of being the son of my old Su family, he is promising! Tsk tsk, he became an officer in a blink of an eye. My old Su family started keeping genealogy records since your grandfather and grandpa, and now you are the first one to become an official.
Man, this is an official who protects the family, defends the country and kills Japanese. He is worthy of his ancestors in heaven and earth, and he has also received medals from the world-famous Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and General An Yi... With you as my son, my life will not be in vain!"
"father……"
Su Bingguo's tears fell. This stubborn man who had never shed a tear since he was fifteen years old finally shed tears this time. His father was silent in his life and had never spoken to him so much and so much at once like today.
His heroic spirit made Su Bingguo feel the deep love and encouragement that filled his heart.
The father looked pleased and patted his son's arm again: "Don't cry, son. You were restless when you were born. You don't belong in our mountains. You have been different from other children in the village since you were a child. I have watched you since you were a child.
The grown-up old Master Bian said that you are an eagle and will fly higher and farther than Haidongqing in the future. Neither your father nor your mother believed it before, thinking that Old Master Bian was talking nonsense because he drank too much. Now it seems that Old Master Bian is really
What a good vision..."
"Dad, someone is coming to the house. There are a lot of footsteps in the yard, and the sound of stepping on the snow is loud." The eldest daughter listened attentively and shouted hurriedly.
The family quickly wiped away their tears and stood up. The mother and sister were in a panic and helped each other into the back room. When they arrived, they found that the little daughter had not entered the room. They called "Qing'er" twice, but the little girl pretended not to hear anything and chased after her.
The elder brother went out together, but the mother had no choice but to lower the curtain from inside.
"Uncle, we have a gift for you!"
Yang Jiuxiao and Ni Zhiqiang, who specially put on the yellow uniforms of the national army, stood under the threshold, stood at attention, and saluted Su's father. Gu Changfeng and Liang Zhenyu followed behind, watching with smiles after the salute.
"I can't do it! I can't do it... Come on, come on, sirs, sit in the room, sit in the room..." Su's father hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yang Jiuxiao and Ni Zhiqiang up to the two-foot-high solid wood threshold with one hand at a time:
"Three sons, boss, what's going on with you? Why don't you quickly invite the superiors into the room...Fourth girl, what are you doing standing still? Go and make tea!"
The group of people chatted for a while and then politely entered the room and sat down. Su Bingguo introduced the officers to his father in a low voice.
Su's father once again held Yang Jiuxiao's big hand and shouted, "The Nine Heroes are unparalleled in the world. Brother Ni is also the wisest star on the ground in western Liaoning." This made the bearded Yang Jiuxiao laugh heartily, and the Chief of Staff Ni Zhiqiang on the side also
Laughing non-stop.
After Yang Jiuxiao was happy, he brought Su's father to Gu Changfeng and solemnly introduced him: "Brother Su, this brother can be called an unparalleled hero. Brother, you often go out to the mountains to trade in the city, so you must have heard a lot of things.
, as soon as I say his name, brother, I will definitely know who he is."
When Su's father heard this, he curiously looked at Gu Changfeng, who had an extraordinary bearing and a smile on his face. He held his chin in his hand and frowned slightly: "This officer is..."
"He is the world-famous hero of the Northern Expedition, the famous general in the army who fought on the Songhu battlefield and on the ground in western Liaoning to the point where the little Japanese were crying like wolves and howling like wolves. Tiger-headed General Gu Changfeng! The battle against Chaoyang was commanded by General Gu alone. I am only worthy of being behind him, little brother.
Knock on the side drum." Yang Jiuxiao said a lot of words with excitement.
"What--"
Su's father was stunned on the spot. He didn't know that the hero of the Northern Expedition was under the jurisdiction of Marshal Zhang. Who dared to publicize the great achievements of the generals of the Anjia Army who fought against the Zhili, Anhui, Zhilu Allied Forces and Fengxi?
He knew that after two months of war, there was only one person who could defeat the Japanese people in the past decades - Gu Changfeng, the tiger-headed general who had become famous in western Liaoning in a short period of time.
Gu Changfeng stepped forward and held Su's father's hand: "Brother, don't listen to Brother Jiu's nonsense. I'm sorry! My younger brother is Gu Changfeng, the commander of the 44th Division of the Central Army. He led his troops out of seclusion this time. If it weren't for Brother Yang Jiu,
, Brother Ni and the folks on the ground in Liaoxi have helped, maybe they have been defeated and returned to the pass. Where did the great victory in Liaoxi come from? Haha! Brother, please sit down, smoke a little brother's cigarette, and talk while smoking..."
"boom--"
A violent explosion came from two miles away. Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao's expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other and stood up, saying goodbye in a hurry and leaving quickly.
Half an hour later, Yang Jiuxiao, Gu Changfeng and others returned to Su's house again and saw that Su's father had packed up, with deerskin gunpowder bags and iron sand bags hanging on his wolfskin short coat, and hanging on his native leather belt.
He was holding a sheathed hunting knife that was more than two feet long, and he was also holding a long-barreled shotgun in his hand. Su's mother, her sister, and her younger sister gathered together, their faces full of panic. They knew that Su's father thought that the Japanese were invading.
.
Yang Jiuxiao looked at the shotgun in Su's father's hand and was very moved. He quickly stepped forward and helped him sit down: "Brother, don't worry, it was a little Japanese reconnaissance plane just now. It dropped a bomb at random and made several turns.
When he saw some movement underground, he flew away."
Although Yang Jiuxiao said it lightly, if it weren't for the experienced and calm brothers brought by Gu Changfeng, who promptly stopped the reckless actions of the brothers of the Du Second Division, I am afraid that the alert brothers of Yang Jiuxiao's unit would have set up machine guns by now.
If you masturbate, your whereabouts will be exposed.
Su's father was relieved, and the women of the Su family were also relieved and hurriedly brought tea and water.
Su's father suddenly saw that Su Baoguo, the younger brother of Su Zhiguo who died, was wearing a military uniform with a shiny black short-barreled steel gun hanging on his chest. After thinking about it, he immediately understood and stood up and walked step by step with his eyes still spinning.
In front of the red Su Baoguo: "Nephew Baoguo, what are you..."
Su Baoguo took a deep breath and replied loudly: "Uncle, my father told me to avenge my brother, and my grandfather also said that if the jar is broken in the well and the general dies on the battlefield, if we don't drive away the Japanese, sooner or later our village will too.
Damn it! My nephew has been approved by the Ninth General to enlist in the army, and he is assigned to the second brother’s special agent company, and together with the second brother, he will avenge my eldest brother!"
The whole room was filled with sighs. Gu Changfeng looked at Su's father who nodded frequently, and at the stubborn and unyielding recruit Su Baoguo. His heart was filled with respect and gratitude for this fellow villager in the mountains.
