Eight o'clock in the evening, independent column headquarters.
In Liu Yu's bedroom.
"Tell me, you, such a grown man, why are you so impulsive!"
At the table, Lao Song pointed at Liu Yu and cursed: "Fortunately, I suppressed the matter in time. If this spreads out, it will be enough for you to drink a pot! Damn it, don't you know how strong your feet are? Don’t you know how to hold back when you kick?”
Just an hour ago, a medical staff from the hospital came to the headquarters and reported something to Song Renqiong, and then Old Song ran out in a hurry.
After coming back, he dragged Liu Yu into his bedroom and cursed him.
It turned out that the Japanese who was kicked by Liu Yu in the afternoon died after resuscitation failed.
That little devil was also unlucky. He had been hit in the chest by fragments from a mortar shell before. Because of the distance, the fragments were less lethal and got stuck on the sternum.
Liu Yu's powerful and heavy kick happened to shatter his newly healed sternum, and a piece of broken bone punctured the veins on his heart. Although it was only a small hole, it also caused massive internal bleeding. When he was sent to the old Chinese doctors, they were helpless about the injury. They didn't know how to operate.
Not to mention them, few people can complete this kind of heart and blood vessel suturing surgery in this day and age. If Dr. Bethune could fly and could reach Xiyang within a few minutes, he might be able to save him.
Then, Liu Yu received a system prompt saying that he had brutally killed a Japanese sergeant, and not only doubled the reward, he also received an additional 100 points as a reward.
Liu Yu wanted to rush directly in front of the prisoners of war and kick them all to death. Fortunately, Lao Song came back.
Liu Yu, who was being criticized, sat there with his head down and his face full of dissatisfaction: "Those gangsters just need to be dealt with! It's good if I provide them with food and drink, but they dare to yell at me! You said you want comfort women, God!" Are you still here? I have already restrained myself enough. If I had put it aside, I would have picked up the machine gun and let them attack!"
Seeing that he still dared to yell, Lao Song was so angry that he couldn't speak.
In the end, Lao Song could only say: "You have been a member of the party for more than three years. I am too lazy to nag you about the basic principles. Anyway, you should keep it in mind from now on! Even if it is not to set an example for the soldiers below, you At any rate, you feel sorry for me. I have been here with you for less than half a year. Do you see how much hair I have lost?"
"Hehe, what if you, Old Song, are here to serve as the Dinghaishen needle for us? Without you, I would be exhausted and unable to do anything like this!" Seeing what Old Song said, Liu Yu also started to smile playfully.
"Stop applying the dog-skin plaster on me!" Lao Song rolled his eyes, "I have withdrawn half of your previous orders at the hospital, and you have to let the prisoners learn Chinese and participate in labor reform, but corporal punishment and abuse are definitely not allowed! It’s not that I feel sorry for the prisoner, but if the superiors find out, they will definitely skin us both!”
"Just two months ago, three Japanese prisoners in Shandong joined the Eighth Route Army. This matter attracted the central government's great attention! Many anti-war organizations in Japan have also contacted us. According to the spiritual instructions of the central government, we must treat the prisoners with the same attitude. Reformation is the main thing! By the way, that Zhou Libing was also a member of an anti-war organization before. I am the one who came here because I was so arrogant. Within a few days of coming here, you fell so hard that you broke two ribs. You You said you are doing this shit at this stall, don’t you mean to cause trouble for me?”
Liu Yu was trained like a chicken, and finally he said helplessly: "Oh, okay, I know I was wrong. If there are any prisoners in the future, I won't keep them. They will all be sent to the division or headquarters. I can't see them but keep them." Is this okay?"
"That's a way." Old Song nodded with a straight face, and finally pointed at Liu Yu and complained: "I have to find an opportunity to apply to my superiors for transfer. If I stay with you, I will lose twenty years of life!"
"That's not possible. You, Old Song, look like you are going to live a long life. You can live until 2005!" Liu Yu said with a smile on his face.
"2005? Isn't that the next century?" Lao Song was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "You can still read faces? You are kidding me!"
"If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. Just two jars of Fenjiu. You will bury him on the ground tomorrow, and you will come out and give it to me in 2005! By then, the 70-year-old wine will be worth your money! "
It was originally Liu Yu's criticism meeting, but as he was talking, he changed the topic. The two kept talking about how many years they could live in the future, and finally talked about the future situation of China until midnight.
Early the next morning, Liu Yu dragged Lao Song to the backyard of the headquarters and secretly buried two jars of fine Fen wine in the ground.
. . . . . .
Time and space transformation.
On January 1, 2005, Lao Song, who was nearly a century old, dragged his trembling body to Xiyang with the support of a large group of descendants, and found the former Eighth Route Army Road Nan Army that had been protected as a scenic spot. The location of the divisional headquarters.
However, when they got to the backyard and dug down, only one jar was finally dug out. Lao Song was confused: "We buried two jars at that time!"
He then guessed that Liu Yu was probably greedy, so he secretly took a jar out and drank it.
Lao Song laughed, and finally returned to Beijing with the remaining jar of wine and came to a tomb in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
The tombstone is engraved with a gilded inscription that someone had pestered the Chairman to write for him personally in advance: proletarian revolutionist, military strategist, leader in the fields of science and technology, economy and other fields of New China, great hero of the rejuvenation of China, the tomb of Comrade Liu Yu .
According to Liu Yu, no one dares to touch his tomb just because of this monument and the words on it.
Looking at the inscription, Old Song dismissed the others and poured two bowls of wine tremblingly. While pouring the wine, he said: "You said you haven't changed your bad habits for so many years. If the doctor doesn't let you drink, don't drink." , why should we celebrate the launch of the lunar base, now it’s better, he is younger than me, and he is ahead of me.”
As he spoke, he tremblingly picked up a bowl of wine and threw it in front of the tombstone: "Brother, it's been two years since you left. In order to let you win, I gritted my teeth and persisted until today, otherwise I would have been there early." I’m going down to look for you old guys. So I have to respect you for this bowl of wine, so you drink it first!”
After spreading the wine, Lao Song also picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The seventy-year-old wine was too strong, and not long after Lao Song finished drinking it, he fell asleep in front of the tombstone.
A breeze rose, blowing Lao Song's white hair, as if a hand was caressing it.
In the dream, Lao Song seemed to hear someone laughing at him for still being so drunk.
. . . . . .
Without further ado, let’s turn our attention back to March 2, 1939.
In the morning, just after breakfast in the headquarters canteen, Liu Yu and the others received a call back from the headquarters.
"The headquarters has approved our application for combat." Wang Zhitao looked excited after reading the telegram.
"That's enough!" Liu Yu stood up, took off his military cap, and said, "Call Yuan Xuekai, and take two staff officers with me to go to Niangziguan to have a look. Although I have been to that area, Yuan Xuekai has not. We must take him to understand the terrain thoroughly, which is crucial to the subsequent defense of the Japanese counterattack!"
"I'll go too!" Wang Zhitao raised his hand and said, "I will draw the terrain map myself. This will be more intuitive, and the battle plan will be more realistic when the time comes!"
"Okay! Everyone go change your clothes and meet in the north of the city in 10 minutes!"
Ten minutes later, several people dressed up as woodcutters and hunters, carrying a few days of dry food, set off from the north of the city and headed north along the Pingliao Highway.
When they arrived outside Pingding City that day, they walked eastward on the mountain road, found a cave to rest for the night, and finally arrived at Niangziguan at noon the next day.
Niangziguan was first named because Princess Zhaoyang, the sister of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, led the army to garrison here.
It is a relatively famous pass in the Great Wall. It is built along the Mian River in the north and has a natural barrier.
The east and west sides are also very narrow, which is not conducive to the expansion of the army. The Guancheng is located on the road, and the south is a cliff, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
What's more, there is an equally steep Tumen Pass to the east of it, at the mouth of the Jingxing Grand Canyon. As long as the Tumen Pass is not lost, there is no need to consider the defense of the east side here.
Its only weakness is Jiuguan in the south, because there is a ravine from Jiuguan to Niangziguan, called Guangou. Once the enemy breaks through Tumen Pass, bypass Jiuguan, and then walk from here to reach Niangziguan City directly. .
In the Battle of Xinkou, if Yan Laoxi had not made a mistake, the troops on the front line of Niangziguan were all mixed and lacked unified command, and the commander completely ignored the flank defense, causing the little devil to capture the old pass in one surprise attack. Otherwise, the little devil would have Don’t even think about winning the Niangzi Pass even if you are exhausted. If the wife is not lost, that old devil Seishiro Itagaki will have to withdraw in despair if he doesn't want to die.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
"Ding! 124 Japanese troops are found at the pass ahead, crush them!"
The system prompt sounded, and Liu Yu gave it a middle finger as usual.
Standing on Mianshan Mountain on the south side, Liu Yu looked at the city of Niangziguan and recalled in his mind the details of the Battle of Niangziguan the year before last.
On the side, Yuan Xuekai put down his telescope and sighed: "What a dangerous pass!"
Liu Yu came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Old Yuan, your task is severe. The Shanxi-Sui Army's 100,000-strong army the year before last could not stop the more than 10,000 Japs here. This time, you only have one regiment and one more." The camp has only over 2,000 people.”
"That's different. At that time, the Jinsui Army lost the old pass in the first round, which led to a series of subsequent failures. I will not make such a mistake!"
Saying that, Yuan Xuekai looked at Liu Yu and said confidently: "As long as the group can capture Tumen Pass and hold it, I don't have to worry at all!"
"You are the commander-in-chief's army." Wang Zhitao said with a smile, "But what should be emphasized is that in my opinion, the key point of Niangziguan's defense line is still at Jiuguan, which may be attacked by forces from home. That field brigade, as well as the two-sided attack from the enemy in the same direction, you have to focus your defense there."
"But it's not a big problem. If the field brigade in my hometown takes the mountain road to attack you from the east, then it will definitely not be able to bring much equipment and supplies. Tumen Pass in the east is blocked by us, and there will be no reinforcements. He will have to withdraw in two or three days.”
"This battle is a sneak attack. What I'm worried about now is whether our troops can reach the attack launch location within the specified time. After all, this journey is not easy."
Liu Yu heard this and said firmly: "It's not easy to walk. That's for others, my troops. Let's not talk about other advantages. Just these iron feet can overcome any terrain! Otherwise, the 30 kilometers of armed cross-country training every day will be in vain. ?”
