Yangjia Gorge!
Although Yangjia Gorge is said to be a canyon, the average height of the mountains on both sides is not even ten meters.
However, the dense jungle gives people the feeling of being blocked from the sky and the sun, making it a rare ambush location.
Xie Jinyuan saw that the terrain was not good for him, so he reminded: "Tuanzuo, we should have arrived at Yangjia Gorge. Although the terrain here is not dangerous, it is very conducive to an ambush. Should we send someone into the forest to investigate?"
Duan Wu rolled his eyes and said, "No need."
Then the car didn't stop, but Duanwu got out of the cab window and climbed onto the roof of the car.
Duanwu shouted: "Brothers, we have walked more than fifty miles, and we still have at least two hundred miles to reach the 48th Army Headquarters. The journey is so lonely, brothers followed my slogan and sang:
Slash the devils' heads with the big knife!
Get ready, sing! ..."
"Chop the devils' heads with the big knife!
Patriotic compatriots across the country,
The day of the war of resistance has come,
The day of war has come!
There are volunteers from the Northeast in front,
There are people from all over the country behind.
Let us unite and fight bravely forward!
Look at the enemy,
Eliminate him!
Eliminate him!
Go!
Slash the devils' heads with the big knife! …”
A broadsword march echoed throughout the forest.
The 166th Brigade of the 56th Division and the 105th Brigade of the 176th Division who were ambushing in the forest heard the singing and slowly got up from the ambush.
They had previously suspected that this was a group of Japanese invaders that had infiltrated into our army. I have also thought about whether to strike preemptively. After all, this army has a lot of people.
But at this time, hearing the extremely rich singing, they had no reason to believe that this was a Japanese army.
There are two reasons:
First, the Japanese army will never sing a broadsword march. Because that is the military song of the 29th Route Army. The devils were afraid to avoid it, so how could they sing it?
Second, even if one or two Japanese can speak Chinese, that’s all. Isn’t it strange that so many people can speak and sing in Chinese? What's more, judging from their accents, they are from Hunan, Hubei, Shandong, Hebei, Northeast, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, Guangxi, Shanghai, etc.
There are so many people from all over the world, and the Japanese do not have the ability to learn the accents of all places.
So they concluded that this is a Chinese army, and a patriotic Chinese army.
Du Shaojie, commander of the 166th Brigade, and Gong Yaobang, commander of the 105th Brigade, blocked the road with two companies of troops. The rest of the tribes still held guns and continued to hide in the woods. Waiting for orders from the two brigade commanders.
The leading car saw someone blocking the road and slowly stopped. While Zhu Shengzhong ordered people to announce the Dragon Boat Festival, he stepped forward to negotiate with the other party.
Zhu Shengzhong gave a symbolic salute and said: "Hello, sir, Zhu Shengzhong, the major battalion commander of the 88th Division Independent Regiment, salutes you."
Du Shaojie glanced at Zhu Shengzhong and said suspiciously: "Eighty-eighth Division? Didn't the Eighty-Eighth Division retire to rest?"
Zhu Shengzhong said indifferently: "Isn't there someone who has not retreated? Why do you, sir, doubt my identity? Take a look!"
Zhu Shengzhong carelessly showed his ID to Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie took the relatively neat ID and looked at it: "The 88th Division, the 524th Regiment, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company Commander - Zhu Shengzhong."
"Are you just a second lieutenant company commander?"
Du Shaojie questioned, but at this time Zhu Shengzhong took back his ID with disdain and said: "I have been promoted, and now I am the commander of the second battalion of the 88th Division Independent Regiment. If you have any questions, you can talk to our regiment. Look, Our group is here."
Zhu Shengzhong said as he ducked away, and sure enough, a group of people were walking over.
Du Shaojie frowned because the leader looked so young.
Du Shaojie could not have been more than twenty years old when he saw the Dragon Boat Festival. He had never seen such a young regiment leader.
After taking a look at Dragon Boat Festival, Du Shaojie's eyes were attracted by the big man behind Dragon Boat Festival.
This big man was not only over 1.9 meters tall, but also had the rank of brigade commander on his shoulders.
"Hahaha, brothers are blocking our way, what's the matter? Are you hungry? We're all brothers, I have food in the car. Come on, come on, get a big front door first!"
Dragon Boat Festival greeted Du Shaojie and Gong Yaobang very socially.
Du Shaojie and Gong Yaobang took a look and realized that this guy was a slippery man. No wonder he dared to resell arms at such a time.
Du Shaojie refused: "We will not smoke cigarettes. I am Du Shaojie, the commander of the 166th Brigade, and this is Gong Yaobang, the commander of the 105th Brigade. We are here because we received a tip that some people did not want to serve the country during the Anti-Japanese War. But they are reselling arms.
And this brother just said that you are from the 88th Division Independent Regiment. But I haven't heard of it. What is your identity? Please show me your ID. "
Du Shaojie stretched out his hand and motioned for Duanwu to show his ID. But what is missing in the Dragon Boat Festival is the certificate.
As the colonel leader, he was appointed in a critical situation, so how could he have any credentials?
And his only letter of appointment was soaked in water and turned into a pile during the battle, so now in the Dragon Boat Festival, there is not even a document.
It can also be said that when Sun Yuanliang made him a colonel, he did not expect that he would come back alive. So the Dragon Boat Festival was sent away with a letter of appointment.
"Hehehe!"
Duan Wu smiled awkwardly, but at this moment, Sun Boan said dissatisfiedly: "What are you looking at? You can also see my third brother's ID? If you want to see it, look at mine."
Sun Bo'an was also a brigade commander, so he was not cold towards Du Shaojie and Gong Yaobang in front of him. Show the other party your ID. But the two of them were even more surprised after seeing it.
Sun Bo'an belonged to the 40th Division, and Duanwu belonged to the 88th Division. One was in the south and the other was in the north, so how could they be put together?
But both Zhu Shengzhong's ID and Sun Bo'an's ID belong to him. There are photos on it. And judging from the condition of the photos, it is enough to prove that these documents and people are genuine.
But there are so many things that are puzzling about this team. They even couldn't figure out why Duanwu and others appeared in the defense zone of the 39th Army at this time and at this place.
The Japanese equipment loaded on the truck and the truck with the Japanese flag were also unexplainable.
Of course, the most important thing is that the army wants these weapons.
Thinking of this, Du Shaojie said: "Brother, maybe your identity is true. But reselling arms during the war is a capital crime. You will have to go to the Military Justice Department! Now, I order you to put all the arms on the truck. Handed over to the National Government..."
"Damn it, you're blind. My third brother is the special commissioner. He represents the government. What the hell do you think the 39th Army is?"
Before Du Shaojie could finish his words, Sun Boan started scolding him. Zhu Shengzhong also put on a disdainful expression and said: "Sir, if you want weapons and equipment, do the Japanese have them? Can you go and get them yourself? You want to rob us. Maybe you made a mistake. Our group is a special commissioner. !..."
