The sixteenth time, Sun Dianying guarded Chifeng and stubbornly resisted the enemy The mountain village women went to the battlefield to rescue the wounded soldiers
The book picks up.
On the afternoon of March 1 of the solar calendar, Zhou Xiangrui and his party arrived about ten miles north of Hada Street, and the road was full of people who had escaped from Hada Street. There are also empty pedestrians who drive cars, push carts, carry burdens, ride horses and donkeys. There are prime-age people, there are elderly people, there are women and children. These people all went to the ravines in the countryside to join their relatives and friends and escape the chaos of war. One by one, they didn't choose a way.
On the way, he met a well-wisher who reminded Zhou Xiangrui and his party, saying, "Don't go into the city, the Japanese will come in!" Some said, "Change the route, this road is blocked by the nationalist army, you have to go into the city and go around to the west of the city!" Zhou Xiangrui ordered the car to detour to the West Bridge of Hada Street and enter the street.
On the West Bridge, many soldiers and migrant workers are building fortifications with sacks, adobe, bricks and stones filled with soil.
Many students were marching nearby to cheer up the brother soldiers who were building the fortifications. The procession waved red flags and shouted slogans, "Support the Northeast Army in fighting against the Japanese Kou!" Fight back to the three eastern provinces! "Stop the civil war unanimously externally!" "It is the responsibility of the family to defend the country!" "Resist the war of the whole people and overthrow the Japanese devils!"
There was a young man, speaking with a Yunnan accent, commanding two photographers to shoot for the officers and men of the unit.
An officer with a Northeastern accent is leading the soldiers in a sonorous and powerful battle song:
Get up! Get up!
People who don't want to be slaves to the country!
Homes are destroyed, mountains and rivers are broken, and nations are in danger.
What is the use of keeping a head? Pick up the knife and gun and rush forward!
Brave the enemy gunfire and bullets to rush forward!
Hands together, shoulder to shoulder, open your life, rush forward!
Build the Great Wall with our bodies.
Go ahead, go ahead! advance!
Rush forward!
Go ahead! advance! Move forward!
kill! kill! kill!
The man with the Yunnan accent asked the officer with the Northeastern accent, "What song are you singing?" ”
The officer, who spoke with a Northeastern accent, replied, "We are not singing a song of fools, but a march of the Volunteer Army." ”
The officer took a leaflet from his pocket and handed it to someone with a Yunnan accent. The man with the Yunnan accent read the leaflet and sang it with the officers and soldiers.
After the liberation of the whole country, when sorting out historical materials, according to the recollections of the parties concerned, it was finally clear that the unit that built official affairs in the western suburbs of Chifeng was the first part of the Second Army of the Northeast Volunteer Army, which actively cooperated with the Nationalist army to resist the Japanese army. The officer with the northeastern accent was Liu Fengwu, commander of the third battalion of the cavalry regiment of the Second Army of the Northeast Volunteer Army. The young man with the Yunnan accent was the famous musician Nie Er, and the two photographers were Zhang Huichong and Zhang Huimin.
This "March of the Volunteer Army" was designated as the national anthem at the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on September 27, 1949.
At that time, who could have imagined that an ordinary military song would become the national anthem of the great motherland.
But he said that Zhou Xiangrui and his party walked east along Dao Street.
Dongmei's eyes were sharp, and she found her cousin Wang Jingzhi at a glance.
At this time, Wang Jingzhi was leading Nie Er and others to shoot the battlefield documentary "History of Blood and Tears in the Rehe River".
Dongmei shouted at Jingzhi, "Cousin! cousin! ”
Jingzhi heard Dongmei's shout, looked back, and saw Zhou Xiangrui and his party.
Wang Jingzhi hurriedly said a few words to the people around him and ran towards Dongmei.
When we met on the street, everyone got together, talked and exchanged greetings.
Zhou Xiangrui and Dongmei simply explained the reason for entering the city.
Wang Jingzhi said to Zhou Xiangrui, "Uncle, go to Teacher Chen Gang's house on Erdao Street!" I arranged things here and went to Teacher Chen Gang's house. ”
Under the guidance of Mr. Ren Chu, Zhou Xiangrui and his party stopped at the door of a courtyard.
Ren said to Zhou Xiangrui at the beginning, "Lord, it has arrived." This is the home of my cousin Chen Gang. Please get out of the car. ”
Chen Gang's residence is a small two-story building with green bricks and gray tiles. At the beginning of Ren, on the way to Chifeng, he said to Zhou Xiangrui and others, "The house where cousin Chen Gang's family lives is quite spacious. The family were accommodating. We went and could stay at his house, which was very convenient. ”
Chen Gang is the cousin of ren at the beginning of his tenure and is also a fellow villager. They are all people from Pine Hill Village. When Chen Gang's father was young, he came out of his hometown to teach and traveled to many places as a gentleman. Ren Chu, Xing Benshan, and Chen Gang were all students of Chen Gang's father. Chen Gang's father had become an ancient man, and he left a house for Chen Gang in Hada Street before his death. At present, this house is inhabited by Chen Gang and his wife.
At the beginning of Dong Meiniang's appointment, she accompanied Zhou Xiangrui to Hada Street to heal her injuries, hoping that through Chen Gang's relationship, she could find a good doctor and a good hospital.
Ren knocked on the door at the beginning, and it was Xiang Sister-in-law who came out to open the door. Sister-in-law Xiang is a servant of Chen Gang's family. From the beginning of the previous appointment to the cousin's house, Xiang Sister-in-law and Ren Chu met many times.
The maid Xiang Concubine welcomed the guests into the house. Everyone sat down, and the sister-in-law poured tea full of water. Sister-in-law Xiang told Ren At the beginning: "The masters are busy with the Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress. They organized stretcher teams, ambulance teams, and propaganda teams. It is estimated that I will go home later today. I'll go arrange dinner, and you'll rest first." ”
Sister-in-law Xiang went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Dongmei, Chunlan, and Xia He went to the kitchen together to help Xiang Sister-in-law choose vegetables and rice to make a move.
When the sky was dark, Chen Gang's family returned home. Seeing so many compatriots and relatives from their hometown, the family was particularly happy.
Ren chu told Chen Gang about his intention to enter the city.
Chen Gang is Chinese New Year's Eve years old. When Chen Gang was in college in Beijing, he met Li Dazhao and joined the Communist Party of China. In 1926, he participated in the March 18 Movement led by Li Dazhao in Beijing. Under the arrangement of the party organization, Chen Gang was sent back to Chifeng in 1931 by the underground party of the COMMUNIST Party, and under the cover of his role as a teacher, he served as the secretary of the underground party committee in the Rebei area and led the work of the underground party here. Teaching in the Liangjiashan Academy and transferring to the city to teach were arranged by the underground party organization.
Chen Gang's wife, Han Ting, is twenty-nine years old, a college classmate of Chen Gang and an underground party member. The current public identity is the director of the Teaching Office of the Rebei Health School.
Of course, Chen Gang and his wife are members of the Communist Party of China, and Zhou Xiangrui and others, including Ren Chu, do not know about these circumstances.
Chen Gang has a younger sister named Chen Qiuju, who is 17 years old this year. He is a student at The North Health School.
Zhou Xiangrui and his party came, and Teacher Chen's family was particularly welcomed, and promised to accompany Zhou Xiangrui to the clinic to see the injury after dinner. Chen Gang said: "There is a clinic in our front street, chinese medicine and internal surgery, especially the surgical Dr. Yang, whose medical skills are the most famous in the whole Hada Street. I sent Qiu Ju to the clinic to say hello, make an appointment with the doctor, and go after dinner. The injury was so severe that it could not be delayed any longer. ”
Chen Gang instructed Qiu Ju to go to the clinic and contact Dr. Yang to heal the wounds, and Dong Mei, Chun Lan, and Xia He went with him. When the ladies of the same age came together, they became acquainted with each other in three or two sentences.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. When Chen Gang opened the door, there were three Nationalist officers waiting outside the door to open the door. One is Wang Jingzhi, and the other is his own uncle and brother Chen Tie. There was another one he hadn't seen. Chen Gang pointed at the officer and said, "He is what I told you in my letter before—my brother-in-arms Jiang Wen, who is also a comrade-in-arms." Chen Gang shook hands with Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen greeted Chen Gang.
Chen Tie and Jiang Wen were both allied brothers who secretly ran to the Nationalist army with Feng Zhen as mentioned in the previous book. For so many years, although Chen Gang and his younger brother Chen Tie had exchanged letters and knew each other's respective situations, they had not seen each other for many years. Brothers reunited after a long absence, overjoyed, naturally happy.
At this time, Wang Jingzhi was already an underground party member of the Communist Party of China developed by Chen Gang in Chifeng, and now he was the head of the underground party organization in Chifeng City. Since graduating from middle school, Jingzhi has always lived in Teacher Chen's house, and in addition to going out to interview, in his spare time, he helps Teacher Chen deal with the affairs of the underground party.
Chen Tie and Jiang Wen greeted everyone one by one and briefly explained the situation of leaving home as soldiers and the troops of the nationalist army stationed in Chifeng.
Chen Tie and Jiang Wen have been displaced for so many years, and after experiencing a rain of bullets and bullets, it is not easy for them to return to their hometown alive.
In the 10th year of the Republic of China, Chen Tie, Wei Wu, and Jiang Wen followed their brother Feng Zhen to secretly become zhang Zuolin's Fengjun and became the national army, born into death, and soon they all survived the "Lianzhizi ▲". In 1930, the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang, the leader of the Feng Army, incorporated Sun Dianying's troops after the Battle of the Central Plains. In order to "mix sand" with Sun Dianying's troops, Zhang Xueliang dispatched a group of grass-roots officers to serve in Sun Dianying's troops. Chen Tie and Jiang Wen are now both battalion commanders. This time the Japanese army invaded Rehe, and Chen and Jiang followed Sun Dianying to Chifeng.
As everyone was talking, the four girls of Dongmei, Chunlan, Xia He, and Qiu Ju returned to the house. The three girls from their hometown were naturally overjoyed to see their big brother, who had not been seen for many days. The three girls pulled Jingzhi to ask this and that, chattering, extremely happy.
Teacher Han Ting made dinner and greeted everyone: "It's time for dinner." No preparation, what to eat at home, everyone is not an outsider, do not go out of the way. ”
Everyone entered the restaurant and ate while talking. The guests from their hometown talked about their hometown and focused on the occupation of Wuning by the Japanese puppet army. A few people in Hada Street talked about organizing the people's support. Chen Tie and Jiang Wen talked about Sun Dianying's troops and the "Anti-Japanese Coalition" troops driving into Hada Street to prepare to resist the Japanese army.
Everyone still had a lot of words to say, and the meal was finished. Chen Gang said to everyone, "Let Han Ting and Qiu Ju clean up the dishes, and I, Jingzhi and Ren Butler will accompany Uncle Zhou to the doctor to see the injury." It is estimated that it will not take long. Come back and talk. ”
The outpatient department and Chen Gang's family are neighbors before and after, and there are no steps. Chen Gang, Jingzhi, Dongmei and others carried Dongmei Daddy to the outpatient department. I saw that the plaque on the gate was written with the words "Ji Shi Tang", and a large stack of crutches was piled up at the door. Chen Gang said to Zhou Xiangrui and others, "This Dr. Yang is an ancestral medical skill, specializing in orthopedics. This great pile of crutches was thrown here by his cured patients. Some of the injured came on crutches and threw them down. Every cane is an advertisement for Dr. Yang's medical skills. I believe that Uncle Zhou's legs will soon be fine. Rest assured. ”
Dr. Yang saw Zhou Xiangrui's injury, did orthopedic surgery, prescribed medicine, instructed the pharmacist to grasp the medicine according to the prescription, and then said to Zhou Xiangrui: "It's just a fracture of the left calf, I have already done a reduction and fixation for you." If there is no place to live at home, I have a ward in my outpatient clinic and can live in it. If you arrange your own accommodation, I can go to the clinic every day for treatment. Take your medication on time. It is estimated that you can walk on your own in a month, and in about 100 days you can return to the old. Then the pharmacist said how to use the medicine. Zhou Xiangrui instructed him to settle the cost of the consultation and the cost of medicine at the beginning of his appointment. Dr. Yang said that it is not too late to settle the treatment of the injury. Zhou Xiangrui and the others thanked each other one after another, and everyone returned to the Chen family.
After returning to the Chen family, Dongmei gave her father medicine, and several girls helped. The rest of the crowd continued to talk about unfinished business.
Chen Tie said: "We have built fortifications. General Sun Dianying said that it is necessary to take command from the front and set up the headquarters in the dye shop of the Hongxing On Erdao Street. There is information that the Japanese army may launch an attack tonight. The gun does not have eyes, and everyone must pay attention not to go out. ”
Wang Jingzhi said: "Now that the county government has been paralyzed, most of the officials have fled to Beiping, and some have run to the remote ravines. Our Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress has organized fifteen stretcher teams, most of which are students and workers. Fifteen ambulance teams were also organized, consisting of doctors and nurses from urban clinics, as well as some students from the school, quite a few female students. Everyone's mood is quite high, and all the team members have been concentrated in their respective posts this afternoon. I'll have to prepare food for the stretcher team and the ambulance team in a moment. ”
Chen Gang said to Zhou Xiangrui and the others: "Uncle Zhou, the current situation is very critical. It is said that the Japanese army and puppet troops have reached the eastern and northern suburbs. Some say there are more than 30,000 people. Exactly how many enemies there are, no one knows the exact news. The nationalist army fought like a headless fly. Both the troops and the localities were in a hurry to meet the battle, and the preparations were insufficient. In particular, the fortifications of the Nationalist army are particularly simple. The people's front team was also hastily formed. The stretcher team and ambulance team that Jingzhi was responsible for organizing did not have any pre-support experience. Even now my heart has no bottom. Uncle Zhou, I'm really sorry, I can't accompany you, the big war is imminent, I have to arrange the pre-branch work. When the battle is over, let's talk more. I have a lot to ask you about. ”
Zhou Xiangrui said in a loud voice, "I have caused you trouble, thank you very much, thank you very much." ”
Chen Gang said, "Your own people, don't go out of your way. ”
Chen Tie looked at his pocket watch and said to his brother, "I have also reached the time to return to the team, so I will say goodbye, and you should take care of yourself." After speaking, Chen Gang, Chen Tie, and Jiang Wen got up and went out.
Wang Jingzhi and Han Ting also worried about the stretcher team and the ambulance team, and also got up to leave. Dongmei and the other four girls held Jingzhi's arm and did not let go, and asked to participate in the battlefield rescue with the eldest brother.
The four girls really wanted to follow, and Jingzhi couldn't get out. After a stalemate, Zhou Xiangrui said to Jingzhi, "Let them go, the good villains are also your helpers." "Then he instructed a few girls to obey the command and pay attention to safety."
As soon as Jingzhi and the others stepped over the threshold, they heard the rumbling sound of cannon fire coming from the east of the city. The Nationalist army and the Japanese army exchanged fire, and the defense of Chifeng City began.
This time, Sun Dianying was ordered by Zhang Xueliang to lead his troops from Shanxi to aid Rehe. Sun Dianying personally led the 107th, 108th, and 109th brigades of the 41st Army into Rehe from Jincheng, Shanxi. After arriving in Longhua, the troops were divided into two roads. He ordered the 109th Brigade to march towards Chifeng via Maojingba, Qaraqin Wangye's Mansion, and Gongye's Mansion. He himself led the 107th and 108th brigades through the paddock to Chifeng. When he arrived at the paddock, he left the 108th Brigade in the paddock to protect the retreat, and then led the 107th Brigade into Chifeng, built fortifications, lined up troops, and prepared to meet the enemy.
Sun Dianying, a native of Sunzhuang Village, Mamu Township, Yongcheng City, Henan Province, was nicknamed "Sun Cannabis" because he had smallpox when he was a child. Born in the army, he defected to the Kuomintang in 1928 and served as the commander of the Twelfth Army of the Sixth Army, and was famous for stealing and excavating the Qing Imperial Tomb in Malanyu, Hebei Province. In 1930, he participated in the Central Plains War against Chiang Kai-shek, and after his defeat, he was absorbed by Zhang Xueliang. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Zhang Xueliang appointed Sun Dianying as the commander of the 41st Army.
On March 1, 1933, the Japanese Motegi Brigade entered the area around Hongmiaozi on the eastern outskirts of Chifeng.
In the early morning, Sun Dianying's troops exchanged fire with the Japanese army, and the battle for positions was very fierce. Sun Dianying's troops stubbornly held their positions to resist the repeated charges of the Japanese army. Sun Dianying held out for a whole day. At dawn the next day, the fighting intensified. Sun Dianying's troops held the 702 heights, and were repeatedly bombarded by Japanese artillery fire, repeatedly fighting, the 702 heights were lost, and all the officers and men of the Nationalist army who held the 702 heights died heroically. At 10:30 a.m. on March 2, the Japanese army broke through sun dianying's defenses and entered the foot of the Red Mountain. Sun Dianying ordered his troops to retreat into the city.
At the same time as Sun Dianying's department and the Japanese Kou fought fiercely, Chen Gang and Wang Jingzhi led the stretcher team and the ambulance team, and always cooperated with the army health team to rescue the wounded officers and men. Han Ting led an ambulance team to rescue the wounded. Dongmei, Chunlan, Xia He, and Qiu Ju all joined the ambulance team. All hospitals, schools, units and some houses in the urban area have become ambulances for the wounded. The surgical clinics of Chen Gangjia and Dr. Yang were crowded with wounded rescued from the front line.
Sun Dian's troops relied on the city wall to resist. The Japanese concentrated artillery fire to bombard the east gate wall, and the officers and men of the Nationalist army who held their positions were blown to the ground. The battalion commander Chen Tie was just blocking the Japanese army on the city wall, and a shell landed near Chen Tie. At the moment when the shell exploded, Chen Tie turned over and rolled under the city wall, and the shrapnel hit his thigh, and the blood flowed instantly.
The stretcher team led by Wang Jingzhi and the ambulance team attended by Dongmei and others arrived here, and Chunlan and others bandaged Chen Tie to stop the bleeding. Another shell landed nearby. Chunlan noticed that the shell had fallen and immediately lay on Chen Tie's body. The shell exploded, and Chunlan heard a loud noise and lost consciousness. Wang Jingzhi, Dongmei, Xia He, Qiu Ju and others who rescued the wounded nearby carried Chen Tie and Chunlan, who were unconscious, back to Chen Gang's home. Dr. Yang and other doctors immediately rescued him.
Shells exploded a gap in the wall of the East Gate, and the Japanese invaded the city from the open gap. Sun Dianying commanded his troops to continue the barricade battles at Tou Dao Street, Er Dao Street, and West Gate. The street fight lasted more than three hours.
On the afternoon of the same day, Sun Dianying's entire line collapsed, and the city of Chifeng fell.
Sun Dianying, who withdrew from the battle, moved to Monkey Head Ditch in the west of the city, continued to block the Japanese army, fought with the enemy for more than ten days, and finally withdrew to Chahar. Jiang Wen followed Sun Dianying's troops to retreat. Later, whether it was killed in battle, or flying yellow Tengda is also known, this is the last word, not for the time being.
At the same time as the fall of Chifeng City, Tianshan Fell, and the Japanese army captured Lindong on March 3 and Linxi on March 6.
At this point, the Nationalist army's Defense of Chifeng was defeated, the Chifeng area all fell, the Japanese became a dynasty of "people kings and big landlords" in this land, and the Chifeng people began a long and dark life of slaves.
To understand what it is like to be a slave to the country, and listen to the details later.
