In 1937, on the morning of October 12, the 20th Division of the Japanese Army Kawagishi Bunzaburo launched a full-scale attack on Niangzi Pass, with Xuehua Mountain as the brunt.

The front of Niangzi Pass was blocked by the old department of the Northwest Army led by Sun Lianzhong, and the fierce battle lasted for two days and one night, and Xuehua Mountain changed hands several times, and the enemy was frustrated in front of our position.

On the 22nd, the enemy's 14th Division reinforced and attacked the front of Niangzi Pass, and our army was afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so it transferred Sun Lianzhong's troops to the direction of Pingding, and at the same time, attacked the Xuehuashan position on our left flank with more than 1,000 troops.

On the left flank of the position, the 2nd Battalion of the 1O2 Regiment carried out a feint attack on the county seat of Jingcheng.

In the middle road, under the leadership of Zhang Tonggang, the commander of the 1O1 Regiment, met more than 1,000 enemy reinforcements at the foot of Xuehua Mountain.

The officers and men rushed to kill, fought hand-to-hand with white knives, killed the enemy's corpses all over the field, the enemy was overwhelmed, and rushed eastward, and the troops followed and pursued them. By midnight, I connected Shishui Village, Banqiao, Zhujiachuan, and Jingcheng Nanguan Station.

Cannons, machine guns, mules and horses, and many trophies were captured, including dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery.

Just as our army was sweeping away the remnants of the enemy at Jingcheng Station and cleaning up the battlefield, it was suddenly reported that the enemy had occupied the position of Xuehuashan, and fired fiercely at Jingcheng Station with powerful artillery fire, and the enemy who had fled also counterattacked.

At this critical moment, Division Commander Zhao immediately mobilized troops to launch a counterattack against the enemy occupying Xuehua Mountain. However, Japanese reinforcements arrived, and under the suppression of aircraft and artillery, the position was completely controlled by the Japanese army.

Zhang Dengdi, a Communist Party member and company commander of the 1O2 Regiment, held his position and fought bravely.

On the 26th, the day after the Double Flying Brigade was completed, Niangzi Pass was lost.

The main reason for the loss of Niangzi Pass was that due to the confusion of command, some troops were passive and timid, could not cooperate closely, and simply defended, stubbornly defended their positions, and did not achieve the desired results

After the loss of Niangzi Pass, hundreds of thousands of main forces of the national army in the Xinkou area will be attacked by the enemy and enter a disadvantageous state.

On this day, the soldiers of the Double Flying Brigade were stationed, and in the afternoon, as usual, the soldiers were busy building a new station.

At this moment, a fast horse came galloping from the east. Arriving at the periphery of the station, the correspondent of the detachment quickly dismounted and ran towards the station.

The correspondent hurriedly asked, "What about your company commander?" ”

At this time, Xu Pengfei came over, he knew that the communication soldier was asking Zhao Fei, so he jokingly said: "I am the company commander, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"You? I don't know. Am I on the wrong track? ”

The more panicked the signal soldier became, as if he had something urgent to do, and kept scratching his head. It was the first time he came to the station, and he only knew Zhao Fei and Shao Fei.

Xu Pengfei saw that he was nervous, so he said: "You are not wrong, you are looking for Captain Zhao Fei." Our company has been expanded. ”

"Oh, the political commissar probably forgot to tell me, I'm just looking for Company Commander Zhao Fei, no, it's Captain Zhao."

Xu Pengfei pointed in a direction: "In that room, I don't know what I'm doing." ”

After hearing this, the signal soldier ran over quickly.

"Report!"

The communications soldier shouted at the door.

At this time, Shao Fei and Zhao Fei were fiddling with sand on the table.

"Come in."

The two of them put down their work and walked over together.

"Branch orders."

As he spoke, the communications soldier took out two orders from his body and handed them to Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei looked at it and said, "Got it." ”

The signal soldier said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

After the signal soldiers left, Zhao Fei said: "Niangzi Pass has been lost, and the main force of the national army in the Xinkou area has begun to retreat to Taiyuan. The higher authorities told us to send a company to Taiyuan tomorrow to cover the evacuation of Taiyuan staff and supplies. ”

Shao Fei asked, "Do you need a company?" ”

Zhao Fei replied: "Dozens of civilian personnel, a lot of important materials. It is necessary to withdraw from Taiyuan intact, dead order. ”

Zhao Fei said, looked at the first order paper, and said to Shao Fei: "The superior asked Wu Tianyue to go to the branch to study for a few days. ”

After hearing this, Shao Fei said with emotion: "The superiors are taking precautions, and they are already planning for the fall of Shanxi." The troops want to carry out mass work behind enemy lines, so these political work cadres should study, improve their thinking, and show the masses. ”

Shao Fei thought for a while and said, "I'll take the special combat team and the first company, and you stay." ”

Zhao Fei objected: "I'm the captain, I won't go and what's going on." ”

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "You must listen to me this time, the brigade needs the backbone." Also, the devil soldiers went south and besieged Taiyuan, and those important materials and personnel must not be lost. ”

Zhao Fei thought about it and said, "Okay then." ”

"I'll go get ready first." After speaking, Shao Fei left the house.

After Shao Fei left, Zhao Fei always felt that Shao Fei's tone and expression just now were a little wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Shao Fei found Xu Pengfei and told him to get ready and leave tomorrow morning. Then they went to the special operations team and asked the pillars to bring all the ammunition with them.

Zhu Zi and the others seemed to smell the breath of the big war, because Shao Fei's attitude was too serious.

After Shao Fei left, Daozi asked Zhuzi: "The squad leader seems to be a little wrong, isn't it just an escort mission?" ”

Zhu Zi smiled: "It's not that simple. ”

Xiucai stepped forward and said, "Shouldn't you ask us to guard Taiyuan?" That's a life-or-death affair. ”

The pillar patted Xiucai and asked with a smile, "You're afraid." ”

"I~ I'm not afraid."

Xiucai finished stumbling and walked away.

"I have something, I'll go first." Knife knew where Xiucai went, so he followed.

The two came to the medical team, and the medical team's house was built by Zhao Fei first, two large rooms, responsible for treating the wounded and wards. The other three small rooms were dormitories for female soldiers. The five houses sit north and face south, and are surrounded by a large courtyard surrounded by earthen walls.

Liu Ying was drying the washed gauze in the yard, and after turning around and seeing the two of them, she immediately walked over and asked, "Why are you here again, the two of them are studying in the house, don't disturb, go back." ”

Xiucai begged: "Captain Liu, let me meet Feiyan." We'll be out tomorrow with a mission. ”

|“ Task? Liu Ying immediately became curious, because their task was Shao Fei's task, so she asked, "What task?" ”

Xiucai replied, "It's an escort mission." ”

"It turned out to be an escort mission." Liu Ying smiled lightly and immediately turned her face: "You all go back!" ”

The knife patted Xiucai's head and accused: "You kid, you really can't speak." ”

Then he smiled at Liu Ying, bowed and asked loudly: "Sister-in-law, please!" ”

"You call us sister-in-law?" Liu Ying's smile blossomed and waved her hand: "Let's go in." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

The two of them bowed together and thanked them.

Xiucai hurriedly walked in, but the knife was still standing in place.

Liu Ying asked, "Why don't you go in?" ”

Xiaodao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I have always been your one, you will say more good things about me in front of Ru Xue in the future, and I will tell you about the squad leader." ”

Liu Ying smiled: "Deal." ”

The knife leaned into Liu Ying's ear and said softly: "Let me tell you, this mission is not so simple, I guess the squad leader wants to take us to guard Taiyuan." ”

"What! He's crazy! ”

Liu Ying's eyes widened, and she rushed out without saying a word. After finding Shao Fei, he directly dragged out a mile of land.

"What are you bringing me here for? If there's no one around, you don't want to ...... I'm still a virgin. ”

Shao Fei jokingly finished speaking and hugged his body.

Liu Ying angrily pointed at Shao Fei's nose and asked, "Don't play hooligan for me!" Let me ask you, are you going to Taiyuan tomorrow!? ”

Shao Fei was a little crying and laughing, and said, "Dead knife, he sold me again as soon as he turned around." Then he said lightly: "It's a simple escort mission." ”

Liu Ying pouted and said angrily: "You lie!" The knife said, you have to go to Taiyuan. ”

"Foolish, when did I say I was going to guard Taiyuan." Shao Fei thought for a while and said, "Oh, I see, just now they saw my serious expression and guessed in private. I never gave such an order, the order of the superior was to escort. ”

"Really?"

"The pearls are gone."

Liu Ying relieved her heart at this time, and then asked, "Then why were you so serious about them just now." ”

Shao Fei explained with a hippie smile: "I'm afraid that I will take a company and a special combat team away, in case the devil enters the mountain, what will you do?" The second company has no combat effectiveness, and I am worried that my future wife will be captured by devils. ”

Liu Ying put her mind at ease this time. But Liu Ying never expected that in the end, Shao Fei still went to defend Taiyuan, which also caused irreparable losses to the troops.
