The Republic of Heroes

In July, the dense forests in Northeast China are extremely hot, and the railway in the coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest across the Sino-Russian border winds and traverses east and west. The train roared by.

The train went east all the way, when it reached Heixiaziling, the whole body suddenly trembled sharply, the piercing sound of metal friction pierced through the canopy of the dense forest to the sky, the train barely stopped, but the railroad tracks in front of the locomotive did not know when Those who have been picked up have disappeared. If the train moves forward by ten meters, there is a danger of a derailed car crashing and killing people.

The door of the carriage was opened, and a group of people in gray military uniforms came out one after another. The leader was wearing an officer's uniform, but he had no collar or epaulets, so he couldn't tell his identity. As far as the eye can see, all the steel rails are gone, and he can't help but sigh: "The railway built after several years was destroyed by the war. It seems that the enemy has already broken through the first line of defense in Suidong, Lefouhejin Mine, and go deep to the coast of Suifen River, so Suidong will be in danger."

At this time, a soldier with a messenger came to report.

"Brigade Commander, the telegram has been sent more than a dozen times, but Suidong has not responded."

This person is Wu Xiaoliang. When he heard that he had lost contact with Suidong, he frowned tightly. Regarding this situation, he immediately thought of several possibilities. The first is that the radio station of the Suidong Army was damaged, so Can't be contacted; the second possibility is that Suidong has fallen and the troops are moving, so they can't receive telegrams at all; or the whole army is gone...

Wu Xiaoliang didn't dare to think about it anymore. Although there was no definite evidence to prove that Suidong had been attacked by the Soviet army, an ominous premonition immediately spread over the entire company.

Chen Xiuyan stayed in Muling and prepared to take over the defense of Muling's garrison and formally assumed the role of Muling's guardian envoy. Therefore, the only person who came with the army this time and could talk to Wu Xiaoliang on a strategic level was Tantai Successor who had defected from Qinhuangdao. Ze.

"Sir, this old man is cutting off our back road in Suidong. If the railway traffic is cut off, supplies will not be able to be transported, and soldiers and laborers will not be able to get supplies. Over time, there is a danger of running out of food and ammunition." He was hot and sweating profusely, and while talking, he drove away the small flying insects circling around his head.

Wu Xiaoliang shook his head and said: "Since Suidong's supplies have been transported by sea since he took Vladivostok, he cut off the railway, just to block our reinforcements, so as to buy time for them to win. It is not too late, we must speed up marching speed."

The guard company stopped for a while, then abandoned the train and moved forward quickly along the railway. After exiting the Heixiazi Ridge, you will find the Nancha River. Here you can vaguely see the log houses built by the mountain founders and only temporarily lived in in summer. But this time, I didn't see the familiar figure of Kaishanren. Only when I walked in, I found corpses. The corpses were covered with bullet holes, and the blood flowing out of the ground had already turned black. The stench hung in the air, and it was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.

Most of these mountain founders were Chinese from Jilin. The soldiers were filled with righteous indignation when they saw this scene. Wu Xiaoliang couldn't bear the sight of his compatriots falling into the wilderness, so he ordered the soldiers to dig holes and bury more than a dozen corpses and mark them before continuing to the south of Chahe. The railway was going south, and there were more and more corpses beside the railway. This time, it was not just the mountain pioneers, but more soldiers of the Suidong Road Guard Army in gray uniforms.

The soldiers of the guard company walked and buried all the way, and many of the corpses were executed with their hands tied behind their backs and kneeling on the ground. Gradually, the soldiers' movements of digging and burying people were no longer calm, sweat was mixed with tears, and righteous indignation was mixed with grief. In just half a day, hundreds of corpses of their compatriots have been buried by their hands, and the death conditions are even more appalling.

Burying the corpses of his compatriots seriously affected the marching speed of the guard company. Tantai Jize tried several times to persuade Wu Xiaoliang to give up the action of burying the corpses and concentrate on marching so as not to miss the opportunity of the battle. , Turned around a few times but didn't say anything.

After leaving Nanchahe, the terrain on both sides changed from flat land to hills, with ups and downs, and the number of dead people began to decrease, or even no longer appeared.According to the map, Qihezi Coal Mine is just another mountain pass in front of him. Wu Xiaoliang's heart skipped a few times for no reason, which intensified the ominous feeling in his heart.

Just after entering the mountain pass, the south wind blew out along with the terrain, and bursts of unpleasant stench followed.The eyes of everyone finally suddenly became clear, and after turning around the Qihezi Coal Mine, everyone was stunned. His stomach was convulsed, and he vomited with tears streaming down his face.

Wu Xiaoliang was born as a doctor, and he claimed to have seen tens of thousands of dead bodies, but he still couldn't help being shocked by the tragedy before him.

In the open coal mine yard, dense layers of corpses were scattered all over the place. Most of them were unarmed miners. Wu Xiaoliang could no longer calm down. Unable to bear it, he squatted on the ground and retched with his soldiers involuntarily, and then coughed violently, with tears all over his face.

Wu Xiaoliang's mind finally regained his clarity, and he immediately realized, when will he be tall after walking all the way like this?The living should be more important than the dead! But then he realized that with only a hundred people around him, how could he deal with the Soviet Russian army, which was said to number [-]?

"Soldiers, advance at full speed and aim for Suidong City!"

Wu Xiaoliang finally squeezed these words out between his teeth.

……

At this time, on the hilltop not far from Qihezi Coal Mine, there were seven pairs of eyes staring intently at this group of uninvited visitors, watching them vomit, and watching them leave in a hurry.

One of them said: "Brother Ergou, you are Chinese. It should be our Chinese team. Why don't we go down?"

The man who looked like the leader spat out the grass leaves in his mouth, and a shudder bounced on the man's head with a look of what do you know.

"Sanpi, when will you grow up? You know whether they are friends or foes, so think about it next time. The seven of us are not enough to kill them with one shot!"

Zhang Ergou scolded for a while, as if he was talking to himself.

"Besides, we are going to vote for Brigadier Wu. Right now, there are only a hundred people in this group. They are a company commander. How can we trust them?" In Zhang Ergou's mind, Brigadier Wu is a major general. My mother, how high is that official? In the past, he was called a general. When he travels, he has to wave his flags, shouting and embracing.
