Rise From Eight Hundred

The period of time when Shen Laoliu rolled his eyes the most in his life was artificially terminated.

The long hair of the stubborn woman who was not willing to cut off even when she was beaten during the war was cut off and burned to ashes without mercy this time, leaving only a strand of black hair that Long Ying tied to Shen Laoliu's middle finger in the strange eyes of his own people.

Cutting hair to prolong life is only used on close relatives in the witchcraft of the Jiuli tribe, but it was used on a foreigner today.

Of course, in Lu Zhongda's opinion, the final effect was that the female headman used a century-old mountain ginseng that had been preserved in Yeyue Village for at least 30 years to hold Shen Laoliu's breath, and decisively pulled out the Type 38 bayonet.

The ashes of the long hair mixed with a large amount of herbal lakes blocked the wound that had little blood left, and Shen Laoliu, who no longer rolled his eyes, fell into a deep coma!

"I said he can't die. Hundreds of people in my village died in the battle. This hatred can't be let go." Standing on the mountain peak, Long Ying's face was grim.

Lu Zhongda could only smile bitterly!

He was an experienced person. Although the female leader in front of him said it coldly, she personally fed the hundred-year-old ginseng soup to a comatose man in small sips. Just based on her attentiveness, the possibility of this legendary drama of marrying with one's body was as high as 80% on Lao Liu.

The Four Lines Group did not have any rules against intermarriage with ethnic minorities, but after all, it was a matter of love! It was a two-way rush.

Shen Lao Liu himself was not good-looking, but his vision was quite high. There were so many female nurses, but he didn't say he was attracted to any of them. What if he didn't like them? And this Jiuli girl was a woman with a strong personality. It would be difficult to deal with her if she caused any trouble.

Lu Zhongda thought a lot, but he didn't think that Shen Lao Liu was in such a state now, and he didn't know whether he could survive in the end!

"Master Long, what are you going to do next? No matter how well our army fought this battle, so many Japanese died here, and the Japanese will sooner or later know what happened here. I'm afraid that we can no longer live in the area of ​​Yeyue Peak." Lu Zhongda had no choice but to change the subject.

"Don't worry about it. Mountain people have their own way of living. If the Japanese insist on pursuing us, then our tribe can only perish with them!" Long Ying's face was full of determination.

To be honest, the people of the Jiuli tribe are indeed ruthless. After collecting their own remains and counting them, they found that 230 of their own people were killed in the battle, more than 70 were seriously injured, and the remaining 100 people were all injured. In a rage, they actually chopped off all the heads of the Japanese soldiers without caring about anything, and piled them up on the highest peak of Shayue Valley to form a Jingguan!

Originally, Lu Zhongda wanted to suggest finding a hidden place to bury the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, so that no one would know, and the Japanese would disappear in the mountains like this, and Yeyue Village would not be implicated in the future.

"The Japanese marching route must have been reported. During the war, the Japanese may not have taken care of tracking down the missing troops, but it is not necessarily the case after the war.

The fierce battle in Shayue Valley lasted for so long, and the sound of gunfire resounded for miles. The Japanese can find out about the battlefield here by just arresting someone and asking. We can eliminate the traces of corpses, but we can't eliminate the bullet marks densely covering the valley. The Japanese will definitely come to my Yeyue Village. If you hide, you will die. If you don't hide, you will die. It's better to let them enjoy the wonders of Jingguan!" Long Ying's answer was very logical, leaving Lu Zhongda and others speechless.

This word "no trouble" really blocked Lu Zhongda's almost unable to answer. If he was not worried about Shen Laoliu, Lu Zhongda might have turned around and left. Now that the war is imminent, how much time does he have to chat with these mountain people!

But the key is that now it seems that Shen Laoliu will act with these mountain people for at least one month. How they live is directly related to Shen Laoliu's quality of life.

You can't just follow them and eat grass roots!

"How about this, Long Zhaizhu? The Japanese army will not come again in a short time. You can stay in the village for the time being. After I go back and report to my department commander, I will send one or two infantry squads to garrison. In addition, I can send some supplies to the village as a reward for the village's assistance in the war of resistance!

If our regiment still exists after the war, you Yeyue Village can also evacuate here with our troops and stay temporarily in the mountains around our regiment's station!" Lu Zhongda advised.

It can only be said that Lu Zhongda really fought hard for his brother Shen Laoliu, and he promised everything he should and shouldn't promise.

Dakouzidong Town is sparsely populated and urgently needs population, but it is a gathering place for the Han people. Suddenly attracting nearly a thousand Jiuli people may cause disputes.

And in this chaotic world, if there is a dispute, it is not the kind of future where both parties sit in a mediation room. That is a real fight!

Don't mention him, Lu Zhongda, even Tang Tuanzuo, facing such a complex livelihood issue, will be very cautious!

"You guys are still complaining that not many people from Yeyue Village died! You even want Yeyue Village to watch the secret passage in the mountains for you for free for a few days! Is this considered an exchange?" Long Ying instantly grasped the key point from the generous promise and glanced at Lu Zhongda.

Lu Zhongda's old face flushed slightly!

Yes, there is no free lunch in this world!

Lu Zhongda dared to offer such generous conditions for the superiors, so Yeyue Village must pay. Although this secret passage in the mountains is far away from the defense lines, it is also a loophole of not too small. If there are more Japanese troops sneaking in, it is also a threat.

In the gap when the regiment headquarters did not send people, Yeyue Village guarded for another two days, even if it was just a notice, it would be much better than ignoring it.

"So be it! Master Longzhai, I'm afraid you don't know that before Lao Liu and I went on the mission, our colleagues had sent back intelligence that at least three infantry regiments with more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were marching from Jingxing Pass to the main position of our regiment at Niangzi Pass. ! Our regiment can only put limited forces in the direction of the main position, the flanks and the rear, and we really can't take care of it!" Lu Zhongda thought for a while and could only tell the truth.

"More than half of the division's Japanese troops are coming, and you're just one regiment?" After hearing the news, Long Ying took a breath of cold air.

She had seen with her own eyes Shen Lao Liu's miraculous marksmanship. He was definitely a rare sharpshooter in the army. The power of Zhang San's machine gun was something she had never seen before in the 29th Army. As the saying goes, you can tell the whole thing by looking at a small part, and only by hearing it. The famous Four Elements Group is definitely very strong.

But pitting an infantry regiment against half of the Japanese division...

This Four Elements Group are all crazy!

Thinking of this, what came to Long Ying's mind was that when Shen Laoliu learned that there were more than 200 Japanese troops, he picked up his gun and turned around without hesitation, striding forward to meet the enemy!

Also, the way he stood behind her!

And, even though he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, he still smiled and comforted himself, "I will give you my life back to Yeyue Village. Don't blame me anymore!"

That is a madman and a fool! That was her and Ye Yuezhai's decision. Who would blame him? If they don't fight hard, the Japanese will kill them in order to keep it secret.

Only a person who values ​​friendship like him would feel sorry! A trace of tenderness flashed in Long Ying's eyes.

It seems that only such a crazy and stupid infantry regiment can train soldiers like him!

No wonder this soldier, who should have a very good relationship with Shen Laoliu, said earlier, "If our regiment still exists," he was already prepared to destroy the entire regiment.

This infantry regiment called the Four Lines Regiment is no worse than his old army, and is even better!

"Although I have never met your commander, please pay respect to him for me!" Long Ying nodded solemnly. "I agree to your conditions. You will send me 30 guns in Yeyue Village. No, 20 guns are also fine. I promise you that as long as there is only one of the last 100 young men in Yeyue Village, not a single Japanese soldier will be allowed to leave. pass!"

"Tomorrow at the latest, we will send 30 rifles, 5 submachine guns, 2 light machine guns, 10,000 rounds of ammunition and one month's supply of an infantry platoon!" Lu Zhongda promised immediately.

"Deal!" Lu Zhongda and Long Ying high-fived.

"What about my brother?"

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't die at that time, I will return you a living brother in a month! That is, squad leader Lu and your brothers should take care!"

Lu Zhongda...

My dear, can you speak more tactfully? Doesn't this mean that he will never die, but you don't necessarily know that.

Just don’t think that women are blunt in their words, this is really a fact.

The headquarters of the Sixings Regiment 17 kilometers away.

Tang Dao's face was unusually solemn, and Lei Xiong, Ye Chenghuan, and Zhuang Shisan, who were sitting at the simple conference table, all looked extremely ugly.

The Japanese army really thought highly of them. They came to the front position of Xiaoxiaoniangziguan. They were not just three infantry regiments, but a complete division of the Japanese army!

The newly formed 21st Division of the Japanese Army. Indeed, a newly formed division is not a permanent division. Compared with the main divisions such as the 5th Division and the 6th Division, it is just like a German weapons reorganization division and a The comparison between Type B divisions is the same.

The personnel establishment of the new second-line division of the Japanese army is not the four-unit establishment of the Class A division, but the three-unit establishment. That is, the entire division has not four but three infantry regiments. In addition, There are still units of cavalry, artillery, engineering, and supplies.

With a crowd of 20,000 people, people can feel chills all over just listening to it.

But this is not the real crisis for the Si Xing Regiment. After all, the total number of troops deployed by the Si Xing Regiment in Niangzi Pass is as high as nearly 8,000. The whole regiment spent two days and nights working in Niangzi Pass relying on the mountains. With the steel plates they carried, it can be regarded as a construction. The newly formed 21st Division has secured all kinds of fortifications that are relatively strong. If the newly formed 21st Division wants to take down the position of the Sixings Regiment, it will probably be impossible without breaking their teeth.

Who can win depends on who has stronger bones on the battlefield, and whether the heavy firepower invested by the Japanese army exceeds everyone's expectations.

What really made the officers of the Four Elements Regiment turn pale was the intelligence sent from the station in Dakouzi Cave.

The 108th Division, a bastard who didn't care about fighting, actually took advantage of the moment when the main forces of the Four Lines Regiment and the 921st Division were dispatched, and assembled nearly 20,000 troops to start mopping up the base area.

The 80th Group Army has pushed forward all the remaining 15,000 regular troops in the mountainous areas of southeast Shanxi, and has also assembled more than 10,000 militiamen to carry out guerrilla containment of the 108th Division.

However, the 108th Division seems to have a deep resentment towards the Four Lines Regiment. In addition to dealing with most of the main force and the main force of the 80th Army, it also sent an infantry regiment as the main force, plus an artillery brigade, cavalry, tanks, A detachment-level force of up to 6,000 engineers and heavy baggage troops rushed to the Si Xing Regiment's headquarters.

Moreover, the unit paid no attention to the mountain villages they passed along the way, and headed toward the Dakouzi Cave deep in the Taihang Mountains with great military speed.

I am afraid that the 108th Division not only has deep resentment, but also is very clear about the current situation of the Four Elements Regiment. This wave is to use a sharp knife to cut through the mess, conquer the Dakouzi Cave, and wipe out the station where the Four Elements Regiment has been operating for half a year. The troupe could survive the battle in eastern Shanxi, but if it lost its base, it would be difficult to replenish its personnel or equipment.

Obviously, the Chinese side has many intelligence agents in the Japanese-occupied areas, and the Japanese army also has many intelligence agents in China, including near the Dakouzidong garrison, and there are probably many prying eyes.

Even if the Four-Line Regiment has established a security department and has caught many spies in the past six months, it is inevitable that there are still fish that slip through the net and hide deeper.

But the premise of eliminating these hidden diseases is whether the garrison can be defended!

But that is a Japanese army of the size of an infantry brigade! Even if the main force of the Four-Line Regiment is there, it must be cautious, not to mention that the garrison is now empty of troops, with only the 4th Infantry Battalion for defense. At best, the arsenal left behind can contribute a reinforced infantry platoon, a total of less than 1,500 people.

Now the question facing the chief officers of the Four-Line Regiment is not how to defend, but whether to defend.

Defend, 1,500 vs. 6,000, what a huge disparity in force comparison?

Moreover, the Japanese army had a complete advantage in heavy firepower this time. 16 75mm mountain guns and 10 70mm infantry guns were enough to crush the artillery of the 4th Battalion.

The result of defending is likely to be the annihilation of the newly established 4th Battalion, and the garrison was also razed by the Japanese army!

But if we don't defend, let's not talk about the arsenal that has just had a certain productivity and several factories that have just been put on track in the garrison. Whether those equipment can be moved smoothly, let's talk about those military dependents and the people around the garrison who support the Four-Line Regiment. People can leave, but their homes and living supplies will be destroyed!

By then, will the Four-Line Regiment, which has just finished the war, have enough food and supplies for everyone to survive the coming winter?

Defending or not, it seems to be a desperate situation!

"You have all read the urgent telegram from the garrison. Tell us your opinions! When this telegram was sent, the Japanese vanguard was less than 30 kilometers away from our regiment's garrison!" Tang Dao knocked lightly on the table, breaking the silence in the room.

"If you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. I suggest that you leave only one infantry company to block the enemy! All the others should retreat, and all the necessary living supplies and valuable equipment should be burned, leaving nothing for the Japanese army. Even some important fortifications should be blown up, so they cannot be left for the Japanese army to use!

Our regiment was able to build a good garrison before, and we will definitely be able to build a better one in the future." A fierce look flashed across Zhuang Shisan's face.

Making this choice, it cannot be said that Zhuang Shisan, the quartermaster, is timid. On the contrary, as the quartermaster, he has invested much more effort in the construction of the garrison than Tang Dao and several other chief officers. The garrison is like his child, and he has participated in every bit of its growth. In terms of reluctance, he is the one who should choose to fight.

But Zhuang Shisan is no longer the battalion commander of the security regiment who was forced to fight to the death on the battlefield. He is now more courageous and ruthless than before.

Just like when he led his men to the outskirts of Songjiang City, he thought he was dead, but after fighting all night, he not only survived, but also brought many brothers back to the city. This personal experience made him firmly believe that as long as people are still there, everything can be regained.

"I agree with Director Zhuang's opinion. All personnel should evacuate. The remaining infantry company must ensure that 24 hours are available for the stationed military and civilians, at all costs!" Ye Chenghuan said with a flash of pain in his eyes, but he was very determined.

Ye Chenghuan is actually an extremely tough military commander. From the past time and space, he was sick and had to let a stretcher carry him to the front line. This shows his personality, but as he came to the Four-line Regiment as the director of the Political Department, in order to adapt to the new position, his character of preferring to break but not bend has become much softer.

If he was still the former head of the 772nd Regiment, a deadly battle would be inevitable to save those equipment and supplies.

But now, standing in his current position, he also chose to save people instead of things, just like Zhuang Shisan, who was most reluctant to make the retreat choice.

"I disagree with your opinions, not because your opinions are wrong, but because you don't know Captain Shangguan Yun well enough, and you have forgotten the composition of the officers and soldiers of the 4th Battalion!" Lei Xiong shook his head, his eyes shining.

Zhuang and Ye looked at each other, but they were silent.

Both of them are extremely intelligent people, and what Lei Xiong just said is very clear.

If it were the other three infantry battalions, as long as their chief officers said to withdraw, they might have withdrawn, but the 4th Battalion, from the battalion commander Shangguan Yun to the second-class soldiers, had just escaped from the "prison", and they were all full of anger.

Not only against the Japanese invaders, but also against themselves. Those who have never been in prison can hardly understand the self-destructive and self-mutilating psychological state!

The Japanese army's arrival is even a desire for them who are eager to vent this emotion! A desire to kill the enemy, an impulse to destroy themselves together!

Letting them leave is absolutely unacceptable to them.

"Here, I have another telegram sent to me by Lieutenant Colonel Shangguan Yun! It is signed by the four company commanders and all the platoon leaders under their command!" Tang Dao solemnly took out a note written by the communications company commander Yang Xiaoshan from his pocket.

"Commanders Tang, Lei, Ye, and Zhuang: The Japanese invaders are strong this time, but the 1,350 officers and soldiers of our 4th Battalion are determined to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders.

All the officers and soldiers of the battalion have arrived at Qingshiyan a few days ago! With the strength of our entire battalion, we should strive for a three-to-five-day retreat period for the garrison, so as to withdraw more supplies!

Commander Xie's words in the past are still ringing in my ears. The four lines can be the cemetery of an isolated army, and this place is the cemetery of all the officers and soldiers of our 4th Battalion. If we lose this battle! No one in our battalion will survive, and the organization of the 4th Battalion will be cancelled. Please forgive us for overestimating our own capabilities!

In addition, I wish our main force in the battle of Jindong will achieve more success and defeat the Japanese pirates! Shangguan, Shi, Tang..."

Tang Dao's deep voice echoed in the conference room until it was silent!

For a long time!

"The fourth battalion has made their choice!" Tang Dao slowly stood up and cast his eyes towards the distant mountains. His voice was a little erratic, but firm as a rock.

"Return the order and inform the whole army: Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, and we will not return until we defeat the Japanese pirates!"

"Boom!" A loud bang came from the distant mountains!

Then, there was a series of loud bangs!

It was not thunder!

It was the sound of artillery!
