Sun Yongqin has always regretted why he came to fight with so much baggage.
If possible, he even felt that it would be most appropriate for him to bring three thousand unarmed men.
Of course, that's what I thought after seeing the mountains of seizures.
When he was beaten to pieces by the Japanese forward troops, Master Sun wished he could carry the mortar onto the battlefield himself.
This battle undoubtedly caused huge losses to Sun Yongqin's Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
More than 800 people were killed in the battle, and more than 600 were lightly or seriously injured, which is equivalent to half-crushing the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in World War I. But the seizures were undoubtedly huge.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Eighth Division is at its weakest, its equipment is still not comparable to that of a peasant army like the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
The soldiers collected more than 7,000 38-guns, more than 40 light machine guns, 10 92-heavy machine guns and more than 70 grenade launchers and piled them up on the battlefield, which could completely blind Sun Yongqin and others.
The eyes of Commander Deng.
With these equipment, they can arm an army of tens of thousands at any time.
China does not lack people, but it lacks weapons.
There were a total of 1,138 corpses of soldiers from the Peasant Army and Deng Wen's Cavalry Brigade who died in the battle. There was not enough manpower to carry them. Also, because the Sixth Division was a hundred miles away and time was tight, there was no time to burn them into ashes, so they could only transport them.
He took them to the mountains near the plain and found a sunny place. They held a simple ceremony and buried them on the spot. They marked them and waited for the time to move the martyrs' gravesites in the future.
But no one expected that the 1,138 martyrs would be buried together for 80 years.
As the first place in China where an organized division of the Japanese invaders was annihilated, Luoyanping, where the 8th Division was destroyed, has become a famous patriotic attraction in the Republic. The heroes of the 1138 Northern Battlefield martyrs are here, watching silently.
Their past victories guard their victory.
Everyone who comes here to visit will choose to park at the distant plank road and walk 1138 meters to worship on this hill, which was originally a bare mountain. This mountain is also called Lieshan because of the existence of 1138 heroes.
After burying his comrades, Liu Lang led more than 1,700 peasant troops and more than 1,300 cavalry into the mountains and retreated towards Chengde according to the planned route.
The horses of Deng Wen's Cavalry Brigade became the most powerful transportation force. All stretchers for wounded soldiers were tied between two horses. The 1,300 horses fully shouldered the task of transporting the wounded. The remaining nearly 3,000 soldiers were not idle either.
Some carried two long guns on their backs, while many carried cannons and heavy machine guns.
The cannon brought out by Lang Tuanzuo returned to his back, and the humanoid cannon reappeared, almost blinding a group of peasant soldiers and Northeastern cavalry.
Only then did Deng Wen know that the intelligence said that a certain fat man bravely entered the Japanese invaders' territory and destroyed the enemy's regiment headquarters with one shot. That was really not accurate. He was carrying a 70 kilogram 82 gun and was as flexible as a gun.
The guy who is a fat monkey leaping like flying on the mountain road, can he only be described as brave enough to win three armies? Can he be completely brave enough to win ten armies?
At the same time, the company led by Liu Dazhu also let the two friendly armies know why the front-line troops of the Eighth Division were beaten so hard by the Great Wall Regiment that they could not find their way back.
Along the way, they carried the most supplies, and they also undertook the most military tasks. When the large army was marching, they had to be at the front to be on guard. When the large army was repairing in place, they had to explore the way ahead. But even if
In this way, they still maintain admirable discipline, and no one will even hear a complaint from them. They just execute and execute again.
If they hadn't fallen asleep while sitting on the ground when they were ordered to repair, the two friendly forces would have even suspected that they were not normal humans.
Whether fighting or marching, the soldiers of the former Independence Regiment under Liu Lang set an example and told the peasant army that if they want to win, they must be like them and become the elite of the elite. Of course, if you want to become an elite, the most important thing is,
To survive the battle, only those who survive will have the chance to become elites.
When Sakamoto Masaemon's forward troops arrived, Liu Lang and the two friendly forces had already escaped fifty miles into the mountains. Even if the Japanese army could immediately send the satellite to the sky, they would have no chance to catch up with them.
What's more, Sakamoto Masaemon had no intention of pursuing him at all. He symbolically sent nearly ten thousand troops into two groups to search the surrounding mountains and forests. In addition to searching out the simple tomb of martyrs who had just been buried by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, basically nothing happened.
Nothing is gained anymore.
Even the two thousand missing people from the Eighth Division were nowhere to be found.
How could the two fleeing infantry brigades dare to stay nearby? In order to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, they threw away all the machine guns and heavy equipment except the light weapons they carried. If they were chased by those crazy Chinese,
Even if those infantrymen were just weak Chinese peasants, a combination of light and heavy machine guns would be enough for them to meet Amaterasu.
Quality is important, but as long as there is enough quantity, quality will be ruined. A few years later, the Red Polar Bear used the theory of quantity above all else to defeat the Third Reich, whose quality was far superior to them.
After digging up the Chinese graveyard and carefully looking at the clothing, limbs and faces of more than a dozen Chinese remains, Sakamoto Masaemon had to make a judgment that was difficult for him to accept but had to accept.
, those who ambushed the remnants of the 8th Division were not only the Deng Wen tribe who were driven to the north of Rehe, but also the local Chinese peasant resistance forces in Rehe.
There are no calluses on their shoulder sockets, which means they have no shooting experience all year round. On the contrary, almost all the remains have thick calluses on their palms, which proves that they have worked hard all year round.
They were either Chinese regular troops or rebels composed of farmers in Jehol.
Originally, according to Sakamoto Masaemon's plan, since the attackers of the Imperial Warriors were not found alive, it would be fine to find dead ones, so that he could at least vent his anger.
But in the large tomb where the remains of the Chinese were buried, in addition to the corpses, there was also a letter, a letter written on paper using the uniform of a Lieutenant General of the Japanese Empire and an unknown red liquid as ink.
The large red characters and the dark green general uniform looked dazzling, but one line of large characters written in Japanese made Sakamoto Masaemon feel cold in his heart.
"If the remains of our martyrs are damaged in the slightest, I will pay them back ten times or a hundred times, without losing their reputation."
"Haga, you are arrogant." The first moment after reading the letter, Masaemon Sakamoto was angry. He pulled out his command sword and chopped the Lieutenant General's uniform with the writing on it into several pieces.
However, soon after venting his anger, the commander of the Sixth Division issued an order that surprised the surrounding Japanese troops.
"Ignore the graveyards of the dead in China and quickly go after the living."
This means that there is no point in settling scores with the dead, just go with the living! The Japanese army obeyed the order and quickly left the cemetery of the Chinese martyrs.
Sakamoto Masaemon actually wanted to expose all the Chinese buried here to the wilderness to tell all the Chinese that this was the result of going against the Empire of Japan.
But that line of big characters let him know who the person who left the message was.
