Major General Tian Lu was born in a samurai family and graduated from the 19th Infantry Department of the Army Non-Commission School. Later, he studied at the Army University. He served as a brigade leader, corps commander, division commander, detachment commander, brigade commander. He was well versed in Chinese culture and was familiar with Sun Tzu's 36 strategies for the Art of War. He was a famous Confucian general in the army.

The Jiangbei Garage Brigade is a ** brigade affiliated to the newly established Chinese Expeditionary Army. It was not established for a long time, but the officers respected Major General Tian Lu very much and implemented his orders perfectly. The general said that he would do whatever he wanted.

Now the general said that this was the trap of the Chinese people. The officers cursed, saying that the Chinese people were cunning and we would never be fooled. Tian Lu smiled faintly and said, "You are all wrong, I insist on going into the mountain."

The officers looked at each other, not knowing what the general intended.

Tian Lu said loudly: "I know there is a tiger in the mountain, but I tend to go to Tiger Mountain."

At this time, snowflakes floated in the sky, and the white hexagonal snowflakes and the black dust formed by the burning of houses mixed in the sky, forming a strange scenery, which was extremely slaughtering. The officers were wearing yellow tweed soldiers' coats and sabers standing behind the general. Although they could not understand the general's intentions, the feeling of whistling wind naturally spread.

What a magnificent Imperial Army, the Korean translator was moved by this scene and almost shed tears.

Major General Tian Lu actually thought very simply. Chen Zikun designed to destroy himself, so why not use tricks and move forward bravely to destroy the enemy? Although the Chinese people are more concerned about soldiers and like to play tricks, in the face of powerful strength, all conspiracies are ridiculous.

The enemy's direction was clear, Major General Tian Lu ordered the troops to point directly to Niumazhuang, first wipe out the base of the Eighth Route Army, then go into the mountains to eliminate Chen Zikun, and solve the security problems in Jiangbei once and for all.

The 800 Japanese army advanced forward like rolling iron barrels. The vanguard had scouts, the wings were covered, and the walk was very well-organized. The guerrilla harassing troops could only take a chance nearby like flies, but they could not hurt the main force of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army entered Niumazhuang, it was the next afternoon. The artillery fire was still open, and the infantry assaulted and rushed into the empty village, burning all the houses. Niumazhuang was a barren village at the foot of Daqing Mountain. The houses were made of adobe stones and covered with thatch. It had just rained and snow and the thatch was wet and could not be lit with matches. The Japanese army poured gasoline before setting the fire up.

The people on the mountain cried when they saw the homes they lived in for generations.

When the commanders and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army saw that the base that had been established had become a sea of ​​fire, they gritted their teeth in hatred, and wished they could rush out immediately and destroy the enemy.

The Japanese army burned Niumazhuang in a fire and began to prepare to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress the enemy. The planes were dispatched first and investigated above Daqing Mountain. When they saw smoke or personnel moving below, they were shot by a machine gun. The large-scale mobilization of troops could not be hidden from the plane's eyes.

Reinforcements were continuously transferred from all over Jiangbei. The Tianlu Brigade had a total of five brigades, at least three, including an artillery team, which piled up a large number of supplies at the foot of the mountain. The soldiers set up marching pots and cooked the stolen livestock and poultry. Although Major General Tianlu strictly prohibited the prisoners, the officers below secretly arrested many women as comfort women. The military police pretended not to know when they saw it.

Seeing the enemy raging at the foot of the mountain, the guerrillas were powerless. First, they had no long-range weapons, and second, they had insufficient troops, and a little action would attract artillery attacks.

Chen Zikun personally investigated the enemy situation at the foot of the mountain. He held up his telescope and looked for a long time, pointing to a tent in the middle of the Japanese barracks at the foot of the mountain and said, "There is the Tianlu."

Wu Changqing also raised his telescope and saw that near the large tent, there were radio antennas and officers carrying sabers coming in and out, which should be the Japanese command post.

"General Chen means to fuck his family?" Wu Changqing tentatively said.

Chen Zikun shook his head: "Tian Lu is much more cunning than I thought. He is building a tough village and fighting a stupid battle. He follows the steps and takes every step forward, without any mistakes. If he sent a suicide squad, he might have been wiped out before he could get close."

Wu Changqing said: "Didn't we seize a lot of Japanese coats, disguised as a devil and sneaked in while it was dark, and caught him off guard. As long as we could destroy the enemy's command post, it would be worth it even if all of them were sacrificed."

Chen Zikun still shook his head: "This is a regular Japanese army. The night defense measures are very complete. Do you know all kinds of commands? Do you speak Japanese? If you are not careful, it will be exposed. The risk is too great."

Wu Changqing said: "Then there is nothing we can do?"

Chen Zikun said: "There is really nothing to do, unless... unless we have a long-range cannon, which can blow up the Japanese command post with one shot."

The guerrillas do not have heavy weapons, not even small hill cannons. The most powerful thing is the grenade launcher, but this thing is a short range and low power, so it is useless at all.

Wu Changqing thought of the 88 cannon and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if the German cannon could be used, we still have a shell."

It happened that Liu Xiaoyong came over and heard them talking about German cannons. He couldn't help asking, "We have cannons?"

Chen Zikun said: "You made an 88 gun without a bolt. You don't know about this. By the way, you were not in the Kushui Well that day."

Liu Xiaoyong said: "It's normal to have no gun bolts. When Beitai fell, the artillery bombed some 88 guns. The last one was gone, so he took off the gun bolts and found a place to bury them."

Chen Zikun said: "Do you know where to bury it?"

Liu Xiaoyong said: "I know, just buried it in the Town Hall Square."

"Hurry, take a few capable personnel down the mountain to dig out the bolts. If you have any difficulties, ask Xiao Lang to solve them. Be sure to hurry!"

Liu Xiaoyong took three brothers to go down the mountain quickly. It was more than 100 miles away from Beitaizu. It was impossible to escape with two legs alone. Moreover, the Japanese transport vehicles and inspections were all over the road, which was difficult.

However, Liu Xiaoyong was very wise. He could speak a few words of Japanese. He wore a yellow tweed military coat and pretended to be a Japanese officer. He stopped an empty car back to Beitai on the road. He came to Beitai without any obstacles and found Xiao Lang. He successfully dug a blast bolt wrapped in moisture-proof oil cloth in the sewer of the City Hall Square. When he opened it, he still shines.

The return trip was still on the Japanese transport vehicle, and it took only twelve hours to go back and forth.

The bolt was taken, and Lao Zhang was so excited that he held it up and down, stuttering: "The German guy's things are good."

The cannon was too heavy and could not be pulled up the mountain. It was hidden at the foot of the mountain and covered it with branches. How to pull it to the appropriate launch position has become the biggest problem.

The guerrillas dispatched 200 strong men and took turns to pull cannons up the mountain.

The cannon was too heavy. After disassembling, each part was still extremely heavy. Dozens of men could not pull it. The mountain road was rugged and they dared not pull it during the day. They could only move it at night. It was simply difficult to reach the sky. However, in order to fight against the Japanese invaders, everyone fought hard. In the winter, they were bare-handed and tied hemp ropes to the soles of their shoes to prevent slippage. They shouted at each step, and used their strength to carry it up, pulling forward and backward. Everyone's fingers and shoulders were bleeding from the rope.

The sound of the trumpet was very far away at night. Major General Tian Lu in the barracks also heard a strange sound. He walked out of the tent burning stove, looked up at the vast mountains in the dark, and said nothing for a long time.

A staff officer came over and said, "Your Excellency, what are the Chinese people shouting?"

"Call the mountain, this is an ancient ritual used to express the awe of the mountain god." Major General Tian Lu said.

The staff officer suddenly realized: "Soga, it turns out that they are praying to the mountain god."

Major General Tian Lu suddenly laughed and patted the young staff member on the shoulder: "Actually I guessed it." After that, he went into the tent by himself.

The staff officer scratched his head: "That's it." He thought to himself that the Major General is so funny sometimes. He held the saber into the tent: "Your Excellency, when will you launch an attack?"

Major General Tian Lu frowned and said, "I originally wanted to continue to put pressure on me and wait until there is another heavy snow to trap them. Now it seems... I'll attack tomorrow."

"Hay, I'll send the order now." The staff officer saluted.

Tian Lu concentrated and pondered. It was probably not a good sign that the Chinese people made such shocking cry at night.

...

The cannon was about to be pulled to the top of the mountain, and everyone was exhausted. Chen Zikun came to cheer everyone on himself. It was almost ten meters away, and suddenly a huge black blind man emerged from the woods.

Many people know that there are no bears in winter. This adult male bear probably lives in a nearby cave. He was disturbed by the slogans of men and was hibernating and came out of the cave to see what happened.

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone was stunned, but no one retreated. If they relaxed at this time, the cannon slid down the mountain, but all their efforts were wasted. Someone took out a gun and wanted to kill a bear, but Chen Zikun stopped him and shouted tentatively: "Da Zhuang?"

The male bear growled softly, obviously recognizing the old master.

Chen Zikun was relieved and pointed at Da Cannon and said, "Da Zhuang helps carry it together."

Then everyone saw the extremely heavy black bear climbing down slowly, and their two huge claws held up the base of the cannon. Everyone felt much more relaxed on their shoulders.

Good guy, this bear is at least five people's strength.

With Dazhuang's help, the 88 gun was finally pulled onto the shooting position. The ground was flattened. The branches were placed as cover. The gun bolts were installed, and the wire was tightly sealed. Lao Zhang temporarily used some aiming mechanisms to install them. It was also possible to make do with it. The 88mm shell was also brought in and it was extremely shiny.

It was dawn, and Japanese reconnaissance planes passed through the sky again and scattered a leaflet. In the past few days, the Japanese army used the tactic of persuading surrender, and they scattered tens of thousands of leaflets alone, all of which were used as paper for wiping the butt by the soldiers.

The Japanese army began to assemble at the foot of the mountain, and dense yellow figures lined up in front of the command tent. Perhaps waiting for the officers to issue orders, and the opportunity should not be lost and no longer came. Chen Zikun hurriedly ordered the firing.
