Chapter 19 chapter eight

On April 24th, Chiang Kai-shek went to the front line of the Taiwan War to command operations, and ordered Lu Han, commander of the 60th Army, to defend Taierzhuang with a force of one division.Lu believes that Taierzhuang has been repeatedly seen and the fortifications are not strong, so it should be guarded near Yuwang Mountain to protect Taierzhuang.Jiang Weiyun sent Hu Ruoyu, a senior member of the Military Commission, to the 60th Army to "assist in command" and supervise the implementation. On the 25th, Sun Lianzhong conveyed the order of the chief minister. The next day, the defenders on all fronts of Taierzhuang made a full-scale attack, trying to eliminate the Japanese troops who entered our pocket position from the east of Taierzhuang.Unexpectedly, the attack was unfavorable, and the enemy counterattacked wildly. Only our Dongzhuang and Huoshibu positions, the enemy fired more than 5,000 shells within an hour, and the dust flew into the air, and the sun was not visible.Within days, villages were razed to the ground.The soldiers of our army fought bravely. Mo Zhaoheng, the commander of the 1083rd Regiment of the 542nd Brigade of the 60th Army, led the charge. Dong Wenying, the head of the 1078 regiment, was killed in battle. The acting head of the regiment led his troops to reinforce him and was killed again. The front lines of Hushan and Woshan were forced to abandon their defenses.

On May 1, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers broke through our defense line and drove straight along the Xiyan Coal Railway.On May 2, its vanguard had reached Fanzhuang and Mazhai, more than 30 miles away from Xiyan Town.On the night of May 2, leaders of guerrillas, militias, and Daohui from the Xiyan mining area and the three neighboring counties gathered in Xiyan to hold an emergency joint meeting, and decided to gather all civilian armed forces to block the Japanese army on the embankment of the old course of the Yellow River 15 miles outside Xiyan town. Carry out the "Battle of Xiyan".

On the morning of May 3, more than ten thousand people armed with steel guns, iron forks, spears, and big knives densely covered the mountains and plains on the side of the old course of the Yellow River, wanting to fight the Japanese army... More than 11,000 strong people will create a miracle for the suffering Chinese nation on the banks of the ancient Yellow River that raised their ancestors.They are not fighting for a weak and incompetent government imposed on them, but for justice, for their wives and children, for the poor crops on the land, for three huts and two chickens, to be able to smell freely The breath emanating from the familiar soil fights for everything that is insignificant but extremely precious.

The battle line was more than ten miles long, with people fighting each other, crowding each other, and bumping each other. It was a real crowd tactics.The middle section, about two miles away, is the position of Sun Sanwai's guerrillas and Er Teacher's Daohui; the right side is the defense area of ​​the militia groups in various counties; the left side is Zhang Xiuqing's miners' guerrillas. It is part of the armed forces of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps in the theater.The defense line is divided into two lines, one is on the inside of the river embankment and in the dry river bed, and the other is on the outside of the river embankment and in the flat field.The first line of defense is mainly steel guns, accompanied by some spears and big knives, while the second line of defense is mainly big knives and spears, with very few steel guns.Zhang Xiuqing's guerrilla miners dug a simple bunker, and the militia occupied a graveyard in Datian.More than a thousand disciples of the second teacher possessed the magic energy, invulnerable to swords and guns, so naturally there was no need to hide. As soon as the gunshot rang out, they took up the big knife to slice the Japanese's head like a watermelon.

Nobody understands military.There are no military strategists to command.The 10,000-strong army is almost all native-born villagers and kiln workers, who have never seen a big war scene.However, is it impossible to fight a great battle without a military strategist?joke!Military strategists are born in war and grow up in fighting. After this great Xiyan battle, who dares to say that there are not more than a hundred military strategists in this mighty team? ! The land first paid a heavy price for the emergence of military strategists.Large, large pieces of wheat that are about to mature are messed up by disorganized legs and feet, and the ears of wheat that have begun to fill are crushed into the wet soil, which is really distressing.However, they are not sorry, they are open-minded, and they know that as long as they keep the land, the land will not fail them, and maybe at this time next year, they will use a surprising harvest to compensate for their loss.

The second teacher's sword club is the most rigorous. They use the village as a unit and form a neat square team in the wheat field. Each square team is a huge knife formation.The bright blades gleamed coldly in the sun, bringing the solemnity and solemnity before fighting.The second teacher came to the front line in person, set up a case to burn incense in front of the square team, and set up a magic circle.He kept burning the paper talismans and put them into cups one by one. The warriors knelt down on one leg and drank the paper ashes in their respective cups one by one with clear water.The second teacher showed extra care to the leaders of the villages, and called them to his side one by one, extolling the Dharma very seriously and responsibly.This is quite particular, and it is not something ordinary mortals can do.The magic energy must be blown in one breath, and it must start from the top of the head and end at the instep, and the breath must not be stopped in the middle, otherwise the spell will not work.

After blowing out the dharma energy, the second teacher put his palms together and led all the disciples to recite the mantra: "Use the time and place, use the time and place..." All of a sudden, in the vast and boundless wheat field, there was a mass of drooping heads, each head repeatedly filled with undisclosed secrets, and each mouth was buzzing and opening and closing quickly, for a while, it was unclear and indistinguishable. In the rhythm of the Qing Dynasty, a deep, majestic and trembling voice suddenly sounded, which made the armed people on the left and right who did not believe in magic also stand in awe.

After chanting the spell, the second teacher looked around, calmly and eloquently speaking in a prophetic tone, and mobilized before the battle: "The Japanese Japanese pirates are the reincarnation of eight hundred evil spirits from the east. They are not to be feared! Devils have magic, and gods have magical methods. Magic has always been afraid of divine methods. Gods and devils are incompatible. We protect our home and land, and uphold the will of God. Everything must be done." Success! With the talisman in our bodies, we are not afraid of demons and ghosts. After defeating the oppressive enemies, you can use your boundless magic power to counterattack the Japanese kingdom and conquer Tokyo, the devil's den!"

The voice of the Prophet is like thunder, shaking the pious and loyal hearts. The second teacher's voice is not loud, and there is no modern sound transmission equipment, but this is not a hindrance. His voice of truth is faithfully conveyed by believers, and it reaches everyone's ears without missing a word. In the eyes of believers, the second teacher is more powerful than Chairman Jiang. The second teacher has obtained the true biography of the immortal, and he is the reincarnation of Jiang Ziya. If the second teacher comes out of the mountain as soon as possible, the situation in China will never be so bad. Maybe today's fierce battle will be moved to Tokyo, Japan Hit miles!

"Yesterday, I watched the stars at night and saw the star Taurus shining abnormally. This is an auspicious omen. If there is a catastrophe, there will be a god bull to help, and the disaster will be auspicious, and the disaster will be turned into good luck. Today at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be three auspicious clouds in the sky. , descending immortal energy to protect you and others. You just need to fight the enemy bravely and don’t need to worry too much!" At this time, Sun Sanye and his brothers were discussing strategic and tactical issues behind the embankment of the first line of defense.Comrade Sun, a politician, was busy with heavy party affairs and couldn't get away from his body, so he couldn't participate in the battle. Sun Sanye also lost the living politics of being inseparable from the left and right, and simply changed his career to become a military strategist.He was giving military lessons to his subordinates, demonstrating the relationship between guns and meat.After more than a dozen "fucking" and "fucking shit", the third master solemnly came to a conclusion: guns are harder than meat, and generally speaking, they can pass through the flesh and kill people.

"Brothers, don't listen to the second teacher's nonsense! The body born of father's sperm and mother's blood can't stop a gun! I've been through a lot!" The third master patted the box cannon on his waist: "We have to rely on this tough guy to speak! We can't fight recklessly without thinking! We have to shoot the little devil's head from afar, and we must not let them approach! This is the first time we fight, we have to make a name for ourselves, don't let it People underestimated us!" "Yes, Captain, Zhang Xiuqing and the others always call us bandits, we really have to act like dogs!" The third master nodded and said: "Of course, we must also pay attention to preserving our strength. We cannot be fooled by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! In the future, the world will be chaotic, who will support us? We still have to live off the barrel of a gun!" Sun Sanye's lofty ideal is still to hold the pole and occupy the mountain as king. It is quite reluctant to participate in this battle to intercept the Japanese army.From the perspective of preserving strength, I really shouldn't come, but if I don't come, I can't fucking do it!Sun Sanye is an anti-Japanese team, you can't just send anti-Japanese donations, and don't beat the Japanese!Besides, the Japanese should also fight, but they can't lose money.He also meant the same to the allies of the Broadsword Society. He once privately persuaded the second teacher to put away his spells and not to fight recklessly.The second teacher ignored him and regarded the kind Sun Lanye as a mortal.The third master had no choice but to stop persuading him. He only hoped that the Japanese would knock the second teacher out of his body and wake up.However, looking at the men standing like wooden stakes, the third master felt regretful: Fuck, these passionate men are all good materials for robbing houses! After contemplating for a while, the third master said again: "We can't just watch Daohui die, we have to stand on the front line, if the Japanese don't come over, we can't let Daohui go up!" "Third brother, brothers listen to your order!" "Okay! Let's all get to our places, let's all lie down, and when the time comes, I'll use my gunshots as a sign!" At this time, the second teacher had finished admonishing the disciples under him, so he took off the mandarin jacket on his body, cut off the wide cloth belt around his waist, and held a two-foot broadsword standing upright on his arm, he was going to practice for a while.The second teacher is really good at swordsmanship, but seeing him pounce forward and slash back, chop left and right, fly and expand his arms, stirring up a gust of cold wind out of thin air.When the dance was in a hurry, there was only a white light rolling, and the second teacher's true face could not be seen.The believers were amazed that it is true that the second teacher possessed immortal energy. Just at this time, a few white clouds drifted slowly across the blue sky from west to east. Those who were interested counted them, and there were three of them. One was shaped like a horse soaring into the sky, the other was swaying like a cattail leaf fan, and the other was long and shapeless. At first glance, it is one piece, but if you look closely, it is two pieces-but everyone agrees that it should be counted as one piece.In this way, the second teacher's prophecy really came true. For a while, there was a lot of surprise in the sword array, and the second teacher jumped to the top of the gods in the heavens in the hearts of all believers. Also at this time, several spies reported to the generals that the Japanese army had fired shots all the way to kill here. After another half hour, the flag of the sun fluttered in the wheat field in front of it. The Japanese army had heard the news that the people were intercepted by armed forces, but they didn't pay attention to it at all. The leading Japanese soldiers kept firing their guns into the air. In their view, it was enough to fire their guns to deal with these villagers whose heads were full of sorghum flowers, and there was no need to make any preparations for the battle. Unexpectedly, after a burst of gunfire, the Great Imperial Army regained consciousness a lot. They dropped several corpses out of thin air, and hurriedly occupied a drainage ditch facing the embankment in front of them to fight seriously.The small cannon was set up, and the shells poured from the raised muzzle onto the section of embankment that was defended by Mr. Sun. There was a burst of indiscriminate bombing, gunpowder smoke billowed in Sun Sanye's defense area, several brothers were injured and injured, and many brothers ran around with their heads in their arms, not knowing where to hide their hundreds of catties.A brother thought that what the third master said was to preserve his strength, and thought it was time to retreat, so he crawled up to the third master with his butt pouted like a cannonball, and asked for instructions with a pale face: "Team... Captain, withdraw... withdraw?" Seeing that his brothers are so idiots, Third Master Sun is furious. How can he be a big weapon with the courage of a rabbit?In the future, when the pole is pulled, there will be many vicious and dangerous battles, and their courage must be tempered!Sun Sanye kicked the timid requester to the ground: "Get rid of your mother! You didn't even see the shadow of the Japanese, and you became like a bear in fright, it's embarrassing to me!" Raising the box cannon in his hand, he fired two shots into the sky with "papa", and Sun Sanye shook the prestige of the captain: "Fuck it! Stand up for me, who the hell is going to be a grandson, I will call him with a box cannon!" After the bombardment, hundreds of little devils formed a fan-shaped skirmish line, firing their guns, pressing towards the front of the formation. "hit!" Following Sun Sanye's order, the guns in the hands of the brothers were fired one by one—it was only fired, and few shots hit the target.The brothers of the third master are fighting their lives with knives, but most of them can't shoot guns. It's not that the brothers are not good at marksmanship, it's that the fucking guns are too old and don't obey their commands! The Japanese army progressed smoothly, and gradually advanced to a cemetery only seven or eight hundred meters away from the embankment amidst fierce and aimless gunfire.The follow-up troops followed up continuously, and the pioneers occupying the cemetery rushed forward again dodging with guns in hand. The situation is critical! The second teacher pointed his sword at the blue sky and stopped drinking: "Come on, brothers!" "Huh la la", a row of frightening swords suddenly appeared on the majestic embankment. The first batch of hundreds of swordsmen jumped out with their upper bodies bare and their black and red chests exposed, shouting in unison to meet the Japanese army. The attacking bullets whizzed forward. Third Master Sun stamped his feet and shouted: "Second teacher, no! Call the brothers back!" The second teacher ignored him, his feet in soft-soled shoes were firmly planted on the ground, his whole body stood facing the wind, his wide red silk bloomers were pulled aside by the wind, like two blood-red battle flags, his eyes were gazing closely at the killing demon group of warriors. "Da da da!……" There was a burst of machine gun fire, and the swordsmen who rushed to the front fell down one by one, and the bright red blood soaked the ancient land that raised them.In just a few minutes, Second Teacher's spell went bankrupt.Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining brothers hurriedly lifted up the injured brother, turned around and ran for their lives... The second teacher was very angry and cursed at the believers who had escaped. He never believed that his spells would fail, and never believed that magic could not be defeated by magic!Moreover, last night the astrology was clearly auspicious, so why did so many lives be lost in vain?After thinking about it, the second teacher realized the truth, grabbed a wounded brother, and asked sharply, "Why did you come back injured?" "The Japanese... the little Japanese... the little devil's foreign gun is... powerful!" "Nonsense! You must have broken the precepts, raped and stolen, and offended the gods!" "Second...Second Teacher, no...no...the young one is an honest...dutiful farmer who never steals or commits adultery!" "It must be because you didn't bathe with incense when you joined the club!" -The teacher's eyes were wide open, and he was decisive. "Incense, smoked, just... just didn't take a bath, no,... bathed, it was... cold..." Sure enough! The second teacher burst into tears, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Gods are above, these mortals are so disrespectful to the gods, they are looking for a way out!" The second teacher raised the knife in his hand, split the injured brother in half, and swung the bloody sword again: "Brothers, follow me!" All the believers regained their faith in the second teacher and followed the second teacher one by one, preparing to try their magic power. At this moment, Zhang Xiuqing ran over along the river and stopped the second teacher.He brought a steel gun team composed of more than a hundred people. "Second teacher, you can't do this! This is sending you to death for nothing!" Before the second teacher could answer, Xiuqing turned around and ordered her team members to join Sun Sanye's line of defense, and opened fire on the approaching Japanese army. More than a hundred guns were added sharply, and Sun Sanye's defense line was consolidated. Under the fierce counterattack, the attacking Japanese army was forced to retreat to the cemetery, and more than a dozen people were killed on the way to escape. Among the armed forces participating in the war, Zhang Xiuqing's steel gun team is the strongest and the best trained. It has also been to the battlefield many times to assist the Taierzhuang Center in combat, and has a certain amount of actual combat experience.Therefore, at the joint meeting last night, Xiuqing took the initiative to use this steel gun team as a mobile force to reinforce weak areas at any time, which was unanimously approved by the leaders of all ministries.At that time, Third Master Sun thought that his brother was not inferior to Zhang Xiuqing's steel gun team, so he didn't take it seriously, but now, he seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and grabbed Zhang Xiuqing's hand for a long time: "Mr. Zhang, your brothers can no longer retreat! Hold the ground, I have to rely on your brothers!" Xiuqing smiled wryly and nodded: "Third brother, we won't just stand by and watch you suffer, don't worry!" The battle entered a stand-off phase. The Japanese army hiding in the cemetery and the drainage ditch did not launch a new offensive rashly except for firing guns and cannons.The second teacher's big sword would jump out of the defense line to counterattack several times, but was stopped by Xiuqing and the third master. Therefore, the second teacher's boundless magic power has not been displayed, and he is quite unhappy. Sun Sanye was very proud. A group of mobs effectively prevented the violent attack of the little devils, which is enough to show that the Chinese are not simple.From this point of view, Little Japan is not intimidating, and the second teacher's ambition to conquer the Japanese country cannot be regarded as false!If the soldiers of the national army are as brave and good at fighting as Sun Sanye and his brothers, then the Republic of China will be lucky!Fortunately for the nation!Of course, holding the position is only the first step, and the second step is naturally to try to knock out these little devils with teeth and claws.Seeing that the second teacher was eager to use his magic power, Third Master Sun was quite sympathetic, and suggested to Xiuqing: "Mr. Zhang, the little devil is in a bad mood. Damn it, why don't we make a detour and outflank and attack from all sides? Ask the second teacher to bring the big sword club, quietly touch the devil's back, and launch a sudden attack!" Xiuqing said: "Don't be busy! The devils don't attack now, I'm afraid there are other tricks. Let's transfer the big knife to other places, and we will suffer!" Sure enough, as Xiuqing expected, after the little devil suffered a loss here, he secretly rearranged his troops, changed the direction of the main attack, and sent hundreds of people to detour behind the militia to launch a fierce attack.The militia was not well trained, and had never exchanged fire with the Japanese. They were suddenly violently attacked and failed to parry.The Japanese machine guns followed their buttocks and fired, the bullets swished and flew around like locusts, and the cavalry troops brandished their sabers to kill and slash randomly... On the land full of harvest in May, there were blood and corpses.Those who escaped by chance threw their knives and guns everywhere, or hid in the wheat bushes, or hid in the willow trees, and some even got into the withered graves to avoid the killing of the Japanese army. Two planes appeared overhead, flying very low, continuously swooping down and strafing, sweeping down and blowing up piles of naked and strong men exposed to the ground one by one.Gunshots, explosions, desperate cries, and crazy shouts mixed together to form a powerful sound wave sweeping across the endless wilderness... This is not war, this is massacre!It's an out-and-out massacre... The defense line was breached, Zhang Xiuqing and Sun Sanye's defense area was attacked on both sides, and they had to retreat.However, someone needs to cover it. Zhang Xiuqing took on this important task obligingly, and ordered the third master to withdraw to the mining area with his brothers. The third master is also loyal, but he doesn't do it: "Mr. Zhang, you and I, brothers, should live and die together, and share adversity. If you don't withdraw, I won't fucking withdraw either!" Xiuqing was furious: "Withdraw! Look, what kind of fucking fight is this? Fuck, everyone is dying!" The third master knew that his brothers could not hold back the battle, so he stopped fighting. With a wave of his gun, he led the brothers down the embankment. At this time, the Broadsword Association had already caught fire with the Japanese cavalry pressing from behind, and the Broadswords really came in handy.The second teacher took the lead and took the lead in fighting; the swordsmen did not show weakness, and fought hand-to-hand with their lives, and cut down all the more than 20 Japanese cavalry who went deep first.Next, a large number of Japanese infantry rushed over, machine guns opened the way, bayonets were behind, the great prophet Er teacher was shot several times, fell to the ground with a blood-spattered sword in his hand, and ascended to heaven.Many swordsmen were also shot and fell, and the big sword society disappeared from then on. It has become the second teacher's bitter last words to counterattack the Japanese country and flatten Tokyo. No wonder the second teacher, the second teacher's mana cannot be doubted.What is suspicious is the infidelity of the gods and the lack of protection. When the second teacher died, the three auspicious clouds in the sky had disappeared without a trace... The sin lies with the gods! The heroic and tragic Xiyan Battle ended in a disastrous defeat.Eleven thousand people were beaten to pieces by more than a thousand Japanese soldiers, and more than half were killed or injured.This is the famous May massacre in the history of this land. The tragic experience has brewed a deeper hatred, which has permeated every inch of the land, and will coexist with the mountains and rivers, and the sun and the moon will be together. That night, Sun Sanye hid in Xiyan Coal Mine with more than 30 brothers who escaped death. Zhang Xiuqing's men and hundreds of swordsmen retreated into the deep mountains of southern Shandong under the pursuit of the Japanese army. ... The next day, the Xiyan mining area fell.
