Upstream of the stream, turning the river valley, the back of the peak is a dense forest of nanmu, in which grows a huge mahogany, the upper half has been destroyed by lightning, only the lower half has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, still stands immortally, every late night will exude a faint aroma of wood.
On the hillside under the trees, the graves have been hidden in obscurity for decades under the cover of the bushes, with no names, no surnames and no tombstones, and countless Chinese Expeditionary Force soldiers are buried underneath.
Lu Taiguan, Han Sheng and others camped under this giant tree, lit a bonfire, and everyone sat around the fire, listening to Lu Taiguan tell the tragic and tragic history of the Chinese Expeditionary Force In the summer of 1942, after the defeat of the 100,000 Chinese Expeditionary Force, except for General Sun Liren who led the 38th Division to break into India, the main force retreated north under the leadership of Chief Du Yuming and broke into the wild land Savage Mountain, embarking on the road of death march.
The troops broke into the primeval forest lightly and retreated towards the Hukang River valley.
The savage mountains are deserted, thorns are vertical and horizontal, poisonous snakes and beasts are rampant everywhere, especially the drought leeches and poisonous mosquitoes in the forest bite and miasma are raging, and the food carried is eaten, first kill the horse to satisfy the hunger, after the horse meat is eaten, it is necessary to hunt the wild monkey or catch live snakes, mice, frogs and other small animals to feed the stomach.
When they can't catch an animal, they eat the roots of wild plantains, wild fruits, and leaves.
Chew something you don't know before eating it, and if it is numb, it proves that it is poisonous, so spit it out.
Many soldiers died after eating poisonous or unclean things.
At that time, the rainy season was coming, the roads were slippery and muddy, and many people were infected with malaria, relapsing fever, tetanus and other diseases.
After more than two months of getting lost and tormented in the dark primeval forest, the soldiers were all inhuman, unkempt and unkempt.
Half of the elite of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were buried here in Savage Mountain, and General Dai Anlan, the commander of the 200th Division, a famous anti-Japanese general, was martyred and died here. "6,000 wounded soldiers can't walk, the commander asked for the last few barrels of gasoline, everyone lay on top of each other, poured on their bodies and ignited" Mrs.
Lu said this, he sobbed in a low voice, while whimpering and singing the military song of the Chinese Expeditionary Force: "You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please Changying, You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan is far away, and the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers are constantly fighting Abandon my old pen, and write my wartime, More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army" Mrs.
Lu whined and wept, and the military song stopped abruptly "Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves endurance and lightness of homesickness, generously hold out the heart of serving the country.
Went to the battlefield with a smile, and the banner was dark, The air blows too white into the moon, and the long arrow is pulled to shoot the wolf.
Quarrying a load of Jinling, Jiluji Hei Ci Ping, The ship of the Breaking Wave Building went out of the Liaohai, and the iron bird pounced on Tokyo One night smashed the cave of the Japanese slaves, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean were red, The Han flag is raised at the top of Mount Fuji, and the concubines are drunk under the cherry blossom trees.
Returning to the middle of the road to see 10,000 people, before the flowers and horses, The lintel is full of white hair, and the Lu is jubilant and arrogant.
The first merit of the national history is clear, and China has been known for its longevity since then.
There is still a remnant of power to punish injustice, so that all human beings around the world will be bathed in the wind of the Han Dynasty."
From the dark woods came a mournful harmony like the roar of the wind Taiguan Lu stood up silently and solemnly, and everyone's eyes also looked at the dark woods "Woo" where the mountain wind rises, the branches and leaves rustle.
"It is the immortal soul of the Chinese Expeditionary Force," Han Sheng's heart was full of respect.
The moon was like water, and the rustling of footsteps could be heard in the depths of the woods, and several unkempt and shoulder-hanging savages appeared in the bushes, wearing a piece of beast skin around their waists and carrying American carbines in their hands.
The bodyguards hurriedly drew the pistols on their waists, and Taiguan Lu stretched out his hand to stop them, then faced the savages and said softly: "Lieutenant Colonel Wu Taiguan, commander of the 38th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force." ” Silent silence Taiguan Lu couldn't see the appearance of those savages clearly, but he seemed to have a premonition in his heart, so he softly sang the battlefield trip of General Dai Anlan, the commander of the major general's division: "Brethren, go forward Brethren, go forward 5,000 years of historical responsibility, has fallen on our shoulders, has fallen on our shoulders.
The Japanese robbers want to destroy our country, Enslavement of our people.
We don't want to be slaves to the country, We don't want to be slaves.
Only to fight to the death, Only to fight to the death, There is only a sworn struggle The savages wept, threw down their weapons, and slowly stepped forward "You are," Lu asked softly.
"Sir, we are from the 200th Division of the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Force, I am Dai Bingguo, the second lieutenant company commander, sir, you are finally here" The savage led by him stood up straight, burst into tears, and respectfully saluted to Taiguan Lu.
Taiguan Lu was stunned, and said hesitantly: "You are still alive" "Yes, sir, in May of the 31st year of the Republic of China, when General Dai was dying, he ordered our company to stay and collect and guard the remains of the dead soldiers of the expeditionary force, and he said that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese government will send people to pick up their bones and return home."
Second Lieutenant Dai Bingguo said.
"You've been waiting here for so many years," Mr.
Lu was stunned.
"Sir, how many years has it been in the Republic of China now," Dai Bingguo asked, speaking in an Anhui accent.
"In 1976," Lu Taiguan paused, and then continued, "the sixty-fifth year of the Republic of China. ” "Ah, it's been thirty-four years," Dai Bingguo sighed blankly, tears streaming out of his eyes.
"Why don't you go back to China?"
asked Mr.
Lu.
"Sir, we have been looking forward to it, waiting for Shangfeng to send someone to pick us up and these remains to return to China, but year after year, the order has never come," Dai Bingguo said sadly.
Lu Taiguan said quietly: "Alas, the national army has been defeated on the island of Taiwan, and now it is already the world of the Communist Party, don't you know?"
Dai Bingguo was stunned, and said stumblingly: "Are you saying that China is no longer Chairman Chiang, and you were not sent by Shangfeng to take us back to China."
Lu Taiguan was silent for a long time, and had to tell him this cruel reality: "You have long been forgotten. ” The bonfire crackled and exploded, and the people were silent, except for the "whine" of the wind, like crying.
"How many people are there in your company?"
asked Mrs.
Lu softly for a long time.
"Report sir, five."
Dai Bingguo replied.
"There are only five," Lu Taiguan said in surprise.

"Yes, sir, in the thirty-first year of the Republic of China, when I was ordered to stay here, it was a whole organization, there were 234 people, and now there are only five of us left, and the rest are dead."
Dai Bingguo's pain was beyond words.
"You have suffered."
Lu Taiguan looked at them sadly and sighed, and then said, "You can go home." ” "Is it an order, sir."
Dai Bingguo asked with his legs together.
"Yes, I, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Taiguan, in the name of General Sun Liren, commander of the 38th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, ordered Second Lieutenant Dai Bingguo of the 200th Division to lead his troops to return to China immediately."
Mrs.
Lu said.
"Yes, sir," Dai Bingguo and the other four sergeants immediately burst into tears Han Sheng couldn't help but burst into tears, and on the other side of the bonfire, Mingyue was already like a tearful person.
Taiguan Lu instructed the bodyguards to take out all the canned food, tobacco and alcohol in the backpack and give them to eat.
"It's been more than 30 years, and it's the first time I've drunk the wine of my hometown."
Dai Bingguo shook the Gujing Gong wine bottle in his hand and said with emotion.
"You are from Anhui," Lu Taiguan asked.
"Wuwei Lianxi Township."
Dai Bingguo took a deep puff of the big front door cigarette and said proudly.
"It turned out to be General Dai Anlan's fellow countryman, how many of them are there?"
asked Taiguan Lu.
When the soldiers heard this, they reported: "Tongcheng, Anhui." ” "I'm also from Tongcheng, Luoling, Anhui."
"Shaoyang, Hunan."
"Wuyuan, Jiangxi."
Han Sheng's heart suddenly froze, and he hurriedly looked at the old man with a white beard, and said respectfully: "Hello, you are from Wuyuan."
"Wuyuan Wengong Mountain Yellow Village."
The old man said.
Han Sheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My surname is Zhu, and I am also from Wuyuan, a native of Nanshan Town, an old cousin, we are fellow villagers." ” "Ah, little old watch, tell me about my hometown in Jiangxi."
The old man couldn't wait to say, and even choked on a sip of wine.
"Uncle, your surname" Han Sheng asked.
"Don't give your surname Huang."
The old man said.
"The surname is Huang, then you and Huang Qiansui are from this family," Han Sheng said in surprise.
"Huang Qiansui, I have a cousin named Huang Qiansui, and his nickname calls him Chitose, do you know him now?"
said the old man with a cigarette roll between his fingers and a smile.
"Huang Qiansui, he's dead."
Han Sheng said lightly, the situation of the Huang family's father and son on the cliff that night is still vivid.
"His father, that is, my cousin, is Old Man Huang still alive?"
the old man then asked, his eyes full of homesickness.
"He's dead, too."
Han Sheng replied, sighing in his heart, alas, he was buried alive by his son and grandson in the Tai Chi Yin Halo.
"There is an unnamed nunnery at the foot of Wengong Mountain, and there is a teacher in the nunnery, and I don't know if it's still there" The old man was immersed in the memories of the past.
"The nameless master is also dead."
Han Sheng said.
"Oh, it's really the vicissitudes of the world, by the way, little old watch, you seem to know a lot about our Huang family," the old man asked a little puzzled.
"Huang Qiansui is the county magistrate of Wuyuan, and the people naturally talk more about his family's affairs."
Han Sheng thinks that some things are still inconvenient to talk about.
"What else do you know about Huangcun?"
the old man asked with interest.

"Huang Qiansui has a son named Huang Jianguo, who I saw him in the Nu River Valley a few days ago, but he is now mixed with the Japanese."
Han Sheng said.
"Ah, there is such a disobedience," said the old man, frowning.
"Hansheng is right, we all saw it, that little devil is still fucking from the Mijiu Liushi group."
Lu Taiguan interjected on the side.
"How can the children of the Huang family be mixed up with the little devil, I want to see him, I have to abolish one of his legs."
The old man blushed and said with hatred.
Han Sheng glanced at Mingyue and saw her sighing and standing up, walking silently towards the stream alone, she must have felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Taiguan Lu looked at Dai Bingguo and asked thoughtfully: "Second lieutenant, do you have any soldiers from Hunan Shame Mountain in your company?"
Dai Bingguo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, sir." ” "Alas, in the vast jungle, my children of the Wu family in the Peach Blossom River, where do you return to your souls" Lu Taiguan sighed to himself.
"Peach Blossom River" Dai Bingguo's face turned red, and he hummed a song familiar to Taiguan Lu: "Peach Blossom River is a nest of beauties, there are thousands of peach blossoms, not as many as beauties" "Hey, second lieutenant, how can you sing the song of our hometown," Mrs.
Lu asked in surprise.
"Sir, we all know how to sing."
Second Lieutenant Dai Bingguo said with a smile.
"This is the song of our hometown Taohuajiang, who taught you," Lu Taiguan said.
"Bald old woman."
Several soldiers replied in unison
