With the loss of Highland 421, the first-line defensive position of Nantianmen was finally abandoned.
Where the Chinese flag once fluttered, it was replaced by the plaster flag of the Empire of Japan. The white bottom with the red "plaster" was so dazzling that it seemed to show the raging flames of the invaders.
On the main battlefields, the corpses of Chinese officers and soldiers were exposed to the sun and rain. If they were not buried by the common people, they would surely turn into bones.
What is the eternal monument of Chinese officers and soldiers? The answer is rivers and mountains. When those rivers and mountains return to the embrace of the Chinese people, those rivers and mountains will be their eternal monuments.
But who would have thought that it would take 14 years for this monument to be erected to comfort the martyrs.
In fact, both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Nantianmen at Gubeikou. The Japanese army was no longer able to expand its advantage, and the Seventeenth Army of the Chinese Army began to retreat to North China. Correspondingly, those auxiliary combat units, such as the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army, also moved southward.
There was the sound of horse hooves trampling, it was a cavalry team of thousands of people.
It's just that the cavalry that was supposed to be crisscrossing the white mountains and black waters had to go south at this time.
Therefore, although the sound of the hooves of the mighty war horse is still there, there is always a depressing feeling.
Among these cavalry, there were several people sitting on war horses following the cavalry. They were Shang Zhen, Er Hanzi, Xiao Dustpan, Ma Erhuzi and Qian Chuan'er Chen Hanwen. Shang Zhen, Er Hanzi, The four of them, Xiao Dustpan and Ma Erhuzi, were tied to their horses again!
The four people, Shang Zhener, Hanzi, Xiaodustpan, and Ma Erhuzi, naturally had to return to the camp after ambushing the Japanese army.
It was only when they returned to the camp that they were surprised to find that the New 7th Brigade was no longer stationed there, but Qian Chuan'er and Chen Hanwen were waiting for them in place.
Only then did Shang Zhenzhen receive news that shocked him.
The news did not mean that the Nantianmen frontline position was abandoned. The loss of the Nantianmen firstline position was unexpected by Shang Zhen, because he was on the front line.
What really shocked Shang Zhen was that the remaining members of his group, represented by Wang Laomao, were all disarmed by Li Xiang for disobeying military orders!
After they were disarmed, they were forced back to the brigade headquarters. As for what brigade commander Liu Chengyi would do with them, Qian Chuan'er and Chen Hanwen didn't know. At that time, they received the order to retreat.
At this time, Mr. Wang and the others mentioned that Shang Zhen and the others had not returned yet. In the end, Qian Chuan'er and Chen Hanwen were left to wait for the return of Shang Zhen and the others.
That's what happened, and after Shang Zhen and the others met up, they happened to encounter the cavalry brigade.
After all, it was Shang Zhen who participated in the full-moon scimitar-like counterattack of the Cavalry Brigade. The people in the Cavalry Brigade remembered him, so they were "brought back" by others.
Poor Shang Zhen, Xiao Dustpan Er, Hanzi, and Ma Erhuzi, but they didn't even sleep at all, so they followed the cavalry brigade and drove south all night.
It was another day's journey. During this journey, Shang Zhen was afraid that the four sleepy and tired people would fall from their horses, so he asked others to tie them to the horses. When they were sleepy, he directly hugged the horses. My neck fell asleep!
When it was getting dark, someone from the Cavalry Brigade delivered a message to Shang Zhen and the others. The New Seventh Brigade was stationed in the town ahead.
Shang Zhen and the others thanked the people from the New 7th Brigade and went to the New 7th Brigade. Naturally, the only one they could find was Big Old Hu.
After finding Da Lao Hu, Shang Zhen briefly asked Wang Lao Mao about their situation, and Da Lao Hu said that they were still in custody.
Shang Zhen was relieved when he saw that Mr. Wang and the others had no big problem. At least they were not in danger of their lives. He asked Big Tiger to find them a place to sleep and they fell asleep.
When the next morning, Shang Zhen, who had woken up and had eaten and drank, stood at the door of the brigade headquarters.
Of course there was a sentry at the brigade entrance, and the soldiers looked at Shang Zhen curiously.
It was impossible for them not to be curious, just because Shang Zhen's outfit was really unusual.
Shang Zhen's Northeastern Army's cotton clothes were certainly not fake, but they were in tatters and the exposed cotton wool had been turned black and gray by the smoke and war.
There was already leaking flesh in the cotton-padded jacket, but the exposed flesh was also black. That was not because Shang Zhen was black, but because it was covered in dirt.
He still had the 20-ring box cannon and the leather ammunition bag slung on his body.
If that were the case, the guards wouldn't be so curious.
Just because Shang Zhen happened to be carrying a cloth bag, and there was something hanging in it, and he didn't know what it contained. Moreover, there were a few dried mugwort sticks stuck in the collar of the back of Shang Zhen's neck.
If you just look at the weapons and the smell of fireworks on his body, Shang Zhen looks like he just came off the battlefield, but looking at the things he is carrying and the tattered clothes, he looks like a beggar!
Just when the sentries were curious, Shang Zhen had already said loudly: "Please report to the brigade commander! Shang Zhen is here to apologize!"
Um? After all, someone at those sentry posts remembered Shang Zhen's name and remembered who he was.
Just because Shang Zhen, or Shang Zhen and his group, are quite famous in the New 7th Brigade.
Their people misfired their guns at the brigade headquarters. After their people arrived at the newly formed company, they knocked down (knocked down) the people in the newly formed company. They also took the initiative to blow up a Japanese tank. Their people are still Being disarmed and detained.
People in the New 7th Brigade are talking about these things that have been spread intentionally or unintentionally!
What's more, where are the sentries in the brigade headquarters from? Those were all members of the security company. Who was the original commander of the security company? That's Li Le!
Li Le has been killed in battle, but the story about Li Le and Shang Zhen has been passed down.
"It's not impossible to see the brigade commander, but we have to check the bag you're carrying. Zhuzi, go in and report to the brigade commander and ask if you've met him!" said the squad leader on duty.
When the squad leader checked the bag Shang Zhen was carrying, he reached out and touched the few wormwood sticks stuck in the collar of the back of Shang Zhen's neck.
"This is your apology, what the hell you're inserting is mugwort!" the squad leader on duty said angrily and funny.
Only then did the squad leader understand why Shang Zhen wanted to plead guilty. How dare you stick a few wormwood seeds on the collar of the back of your neck and use them as thorns!
"Stop it! Nao!" Shang Zhen quickly dodged.
Can it not be scratched? Shang Zhen's few wormwood seeds were randomly broken off a few outside the house and inserted into his collar.
The wormwood has dried up, and there are some tiny things about the size of sesame seeds, which I can't tell whether they are leaves or seeds, but they are still there!
The squad leader stretched out his hand and pulled, but the thing didn't fall into his collar!
"Fuck!" The squad leader on duty was infuriated by Shang Zhen, "Don't hide, check things!"
At this time, his hand touched the bag. After touching it, he was stunned for a moment. He could still feel what was in the bag.
"What kind of fun is this?" the squad leader on duty asked again.
"The trophies we captured were given to our brigade commander!" Shang Zhen replied.
"Loot? Open the bag for me!" The squad leader on duty was surprised.
It is not unusual to say that soldiers captured Japanese trophies on the front line and presented them to their superiors.
But what can the loot be? It's nothing more than a gun, a grenade, a command knife, or something like a gasoline-fueled lighter used by Japanese officers.
But the things in Shang Zhen's bag felt very elastic, which was not the case at all!
"Okay, don't reach out and touch Mi Tai, be careful of the brigade commander to deal with you!" Shang Zhen said as he put the bag down.
The bag was also placed on the ground, but before Shang Zhen opened the mouth of the bag, the soldier who just went in to report the news ran out and said, "The brigade commander asked you to go in!"
