Rise From Eight Hundred

"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 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 won't be funny anymore in a 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 dens. If there is an army encirclement and suppression, you can just slap your butt and run away. Nowadays, there are thousands of people in the village, not all of them are young and strong, but there are also many old, weak, sick and disabled people. Without the relatively warm caves and stilted buildings, living in the open air in the mountains in early autumn, I don’t know how 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, the blood of the Han nation also flows in their bodies. Those Han villagers are also their relatives.

The Jiuli people cannot 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 the guy who almost defeated him just now.

In fact, this is what he wanted to suggest to 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 it is actually 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 bumpkin in the village in front of him didn't know that, but his escape plan was the same as his. If this is the battlefield intuition Tang Tuanzuo often talks about, then this guy is a talented warrior.

Normally, 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. Compared with 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. 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 Sixing 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, I'm 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 mission 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, 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 bruise on the head? More than 200 heavily armed troops! Not to mention the two of them, even if they add the entire village of 400 young people, 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 Four Lines 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 live a different life that day, go to our Four Lines Regiment. Our commander is called Tang Dao, the company commander is nicknamed Lao Hei, and the deputy company commander is Gu Xishui. Tell any of them that you were jointly recommended by Shen Laoliu and Zhang Saner, 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 who were so popular in the mountain village make people pat their shoulders like scolding a younger brother, even as close as the elder sister would not do so.

But at this moment, for some reason, the thick eyebrows and big eyes had an illusion that the man in front of him was qualified.

It seems that he and the elder sister are indeed a good match, that is, the kind of temperament that cannot be described in words.

If Tang Tuanzuo was here, he would tell him that it was the temperament that only real soldiers have.

"Everyone, today's matter is all misunderstanding. Although we are not of the same race, we are also brothers and sisters of the Chinese compatriots. I hope you can escape the disaster and return home. We will meet again in the future. "Shen Laoliu said no more, put on the semi-automatic rifle, 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-browed man was stunned and hurriedly chased after him.

"Haha, brother Long, you have to say it so clearly!" Zhang Saner, who was following closely, turned around.

"Of course we have to fight the devils. Our commander once took us to swear in front of the tombstone of our brothers who died in the battle. As long as we have a breath left, the entire army of the Four-Line Regiment will fight the Japanese invaders to the end. They want to sneak attack our brothers, how can we let them do what they want?"

"But there are hundreds of Japanese devils, and you two are useless. "The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was dumbfounded, and then jumped to his feet and said.

To be honest, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes really doesn't like Shen Laoliu, especially when he looks at his sister with admiration in his eyes, but when he turns around and walks with a rifle on his back, his resolute and firm back is really handsome!

But that kind of handsomeness is exchanged for death. There are more than 200 devils, no matter how powerful they are, killing dozens of people is already the limit!

"Why? You two go back to your Four Lines Regiment and ask your superiors to send more people. Wouldn't it be better to fight them together? Now it's just the two of you, why bother?" The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes seemed to be persuading them, as if he was also persuading himself.

It seems that in his heart, a thought that he couldn't say and was a little scared was rising.

"Long Yan, you haven't seen our superiors, maybe if you have seen them, you won't say that. Our superiors said that if one person retreats, then a hundred people will retreat, a hundred people will retreat, ten thousand people will retreat, and ten thousand people will retreat, then the nation will perish. We, as soldiers, cannot retreat. "Shen Laoliu turned his head and answered in a sonorous voice.

There was no sunlight shining on them.

But everyone present still felt that there was light on the two soldiers.

There was really light.

Maybe it was the tears in their eyes!

Long Ying, who had been silent all this time.

Her eyes were already full of tears.

What a good sentence that we can't retreat!

The last time, it was a general who said this.

The brigadier general holding a big knife also stood in front of the entire army and shouted: "If our soldiers retreat, the country will be in danger! In this battle, I am willing to die with you! ”

In countless dreams, Long Ying in the mountain village dreamed of the comrades who rushed into the enemy camp with her!

The battle report only recorded that night, the Japanese soldiers on the Haierling position in Xifengkou were killed by the Northwest Army's thick-backed broadswords, but who could have known that of the 2,000 people who rushed into the position, only 1,000 were killed in the end?

The heads of 1,500 Japanese invaders were exchanged for the lives of 1,000 Northwest Army comrades.

Long Ying clearly remembered that after destroying the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese reinforcements were about to arrive. At the time of retreat, she met a seriously injured comrade. She wanted to carry him away, but he was barely breathing, but shook his head firmly to refuse.

She knew He said, not because he knew he was seriously injured and dying, but because he didn't want to drag himself down.

In his hands, he had been tightly holding two grenades with the lids unscrewed. His only request was to give him two more.

Less than an incense stick of time after he left in tears, there was an explosion behind him that resounded through the night sky!

That place is not their home, but they have never been stingy with their flesh and blood, just like the two soldiers in front of them!

But this is her home!

People can run, but their homes are gone, and those relatives who don't have time to run may be slaughtered!

Long Ying's eyes gradually became firm, and she finally made her decision!

"Wait a minute, you two! I'll go with you!" Long Ying suddenly said.

Shen Laoliu and Zhang Saner were stunned!

Thick eyebrows and big eyes widened their eyes, "Sister, you are crazy!"

"I'm not crazy! "Long Ying shook his head gently. "Yeyue Village is my home. As the head of Yeyue Village, if the Japanese pirates come, I can only take my people to hide in the east, which will only bring shame to my Jiuli ancestors! My father will also regret leaving the position of headman to me!"

"Besides, I am still a Chinese soldier!"

Long Ying slowly took off the silver ornaments on his neck and head, slung the long sword on his waist, and then took out two box guns from the box behind him and inserted them crosswise on his waist. There were 10 magazines full of bullets, which were wrapped in embroidered cloth and slung on his waist.

After everything was packed up, the beautiful female headman, who was already in military uniform, strode forward and raised her hand to salute: "Long Ying, the former sergeant of the 29th Army, requests to return to the team!"

Everyone was shocked!

Including Shen Laoliu.

Although they already knew that this beautiful female head 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, what is the difference between three and two? What if I add a 0 at the end?

"Long Amei, don't make trouble!" Shen Laoliu held it in for a long time, and then he said this by accident.

After saying that, Shen Laoliu couldn't help but blush.

It seems that only very close people would say this. Are they familiar with each other? It seems that it has only been a quarter of an hour since we 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 he 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 uncle and grandma in the village, and then come back after a month! Don't worry, I will be back." Long Ying looked at it. Looking at his brother, he 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 filled with 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, 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 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 hair, pulled out his long knife, and looked proudly at his younger brothers around him. "My 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 solemn light under the rising sun at 8 o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the constant shouting of 'Kill! ’ The sound actually made Shen Laoliu, a veteran who had experienced countless battlefields, feel a sense of trembling.

"There are 400 young men in our clan, and we are willing to fight!" 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, blood dripping down the blade. "Till death!"

"I'm willing to fight!" The rest of the young men, like Long Yan, drew the blade with their left palm, letting the blood flow on the long knife.

Long Ying's face turned pale. She knew that this was the blood oath made by the Jiuli 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 has finally grown up!

"Okay!" Long Ying raised the long knife and cut his palm to swear.

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 only cut 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 personally showed Shen Laoliu a shot, 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!

And Yeyue Village has accumulated nearly 100 artillery shells over the years. The cliff can let the Japanese know what the goddess scatters flowers!

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 of Yeyue Village, so the Japanese were not left to 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 and strong guards.

Another nearly 400 people, carrying guns and cannons and shells, rushed to the mountain pass six miles away.

I am afraid that the nearly 200,000 troops deployed by both China and Japan in East Shanxi at this time did not expect that the first battle in East Shanxi would be led by civilians from a Chinese village.
