Chapter 18: The Siege of the Past of the Republic of China
The moonlight on a winter night is also cold, and as far as the eye can see, there are faint black shadows, which are not necessarily patrol posts, and there are also those who can't stand the cold and get up to move their bodies.
The whole village had become a purely military setting, surrounded by semi-circular fortifications stacked with earthen bags, and three or five men were on duty, saying that it was more appropriate to hide inside, after all, the place was relatively sheltered from the wind. From time to time, there are sparks flashing, dry tobacco pouches or cigarettes.
Li Jinshi also occasionally smokes a few cigarettes now, but recently he has found that it has become more and more frequent, and he is quite scared. I heard Master say that once you smoke it, it's hard to quit, and it completely destroys your body. I'm always worried about the things brought in by foreign devils. I tried to be able to hold back, it's really the same as what I said, it's not much of an addiction, I should be able to quit if I want to quit, and I didn't have any reaction when I forgot to smoke when I was really busy, so I didn't care.
There are not many houses in the village, and Han Bang's retinue, the kind of regular staff entourage, confidentiality, liaison and communication, as well as a certain brigade headquarters stationed here, plus personal guards have filled all the houses, and there is a quarrel from time to time. Who doesn't want to have a room to keep warm on a cold day? After all, there is still a fire in the house, and it is strictly forbidden to have a fire outside, unless you are not afraid of the bombing of Little Japan.
Li Jinshi, Brother Hao, and the dozen or so Jianghu soldiers who were close to each other walked around the village and found that there was really no house in the big village that they could occupy. The main thing is that it is not qualified. is not very old, but they are all old rivers and lakes, and they don't have the anger to theorize, so they cowered and came to the outskirts of the village again. Brother Hao kept muttering in his mouth, and he couldn't look down on this group of Jianghu girls who didn't pee, but he didn't have at this time. Li Jinshi didn't either, he seems to be a without pee. Thinking about it, these two or three hundred Jianghu soldiers really don't have the one who lives in the house, so it's balanced.
People are like this, for the possibility of being half a head taller, they still make a fuss and ask for equality, and for those who are taller than a body, in addition to looking up and envy, jealousy and hatred, they really don't have the courage to make a fuss. People are in control, you are controlled, and you can't talk about equality.
After inspecting the village, it doesn't matter whether there is this function or not, it doesn't matter whether it is a real inspection, the important thing is that the pomp and circumstance should be like. From south to north, from east to west, the whole village is not large, and if it were not for the fortifications that extended to the outside, it would have been possible to shoot the village. Standing at the entrance of the village and looking out, the shadows of the fortifications in a circle are interlocking, there is no straight road out of the village, and the whole fortification is almost a dozen or so villages big.
"Let's go, let's mix up some food first. I don't know if there will be time to eat in the future. ”
"Have you all touched your nest? It is estimated that Han Bangmao will be here for a few days. Defending looks like a good preparation. ”
"Well, Jiyang is going to be lost, and Jinan is gone. Let's try it. Alas...... Can't run. ”
"Remember where the car is, right? ”
Brother Hao was originally going to find a fortification to rest and feel sheltered. Li Jinshi felt that staying in the fortifications was like shouting: "Master is here, you have the ability to blow me up!" He felt that the circle of fortifications was to tell the Japanese planes: This is very important, come quickly! There are big fish! If you catch them, you will be released! I don't understand what Han Bang mallet thinks, and if you want to erect the archway, you can't get out of it like a bitch, and it is very difficult. I didn't go to Jiyang City for fear of death, but the fortifications built in the village were more advanced than Jiyang City.
The chief's mind can't guess through, and he guesses that he is the chief. Since childhood, Master taught Li Jinshi's concept of being low-key, low-key, and low-key, and I can't wait for you to see me face to face. His approach is suitable for individual soldiers, doing a sneak attack, assassination or something, it is impossible for such a large army to fight to hide the shadows, and it is impossible to be able to garrison a village like Han Bangmal, and only use a machine gun position like a sandbag fortification to hide his whereabouts. He also did not have artillery in his hands. After all, the conventional combat thinking city is the focus of the attack.
The horns sheltered from the wind are shaky, and the hay is spread under the body, and the body is covered with hay, and if you don't look closely, this is a haystack at all. Although you can't occupy the house in the village, you can still grab some hay with a captain's uniform. Two or three hundred Jianghu soldiers scavenged all the hay in the village, and finally they could meet the needs of some covering. Then they went to their favorite dens in twos and threes, and went with hay.
Brother Hao first looked around before lying on the hay, and then dragged a stack of it, and it was a small house inside, although sitting up straight may also touch the covered hay, but it didn't look like a straw mat wrapped around his body. looked at Li Jinshi, who was meditating next to him.
"I said, brother, you really don't want to be a teacher? It's a pity. Look at this place brother to know, professional is professional. It is estimated that if Han Bang mallet comes to take a walk around, he may accompany our brothers here. ”
"Those who have sworn that if they promise the master not to do it, they will not do it. Neither can future generations!"
"Don't break the inheritance, it doesn't matter if you do this business or not, don't lose it. ”
"Alas...... Let's talk about it, the second and third children have also been taught. Rely on them. Li Jinshi is not worried about whether the second and third children and the younger generations will abide by their oaths, and they will practice what they say, which is the root and soul of the Jianghu people. You can be vicious, you can be afraid of hardship and danger, you can be greedy for life and fear death, and you can even be ruthless, so that you must obey faith.
Sleep quickly, always in a tense state, how long to sleep also feel that there is no time, if it is not for meditation to relax the body, may wake up more tired.
The sporadic gunfire gradually intensified, and it seemed that it was dawn. The two sides seem to have agreed that they will rest after dark and start fighting at dawn. There is no attack camp here and a trap as mentioned in the commentary. Brother Hao was so contemptuous when he said this!
The night attack on Sangyuan Station was, first, that the Japanese had not yet started a frontal battle with the Shandong side when they came from Hebei; second, the Hebei side was defeated too quickly, and the Japanese did not take the Nationalist army seriously. Now that the two sides have made it clear that they are fighting this task, who is not guarding against whom? The armies of the two sides are intertwined, and for the time being, not to mention that the combat units that have been formed into formations are all you and me, and I have you, that is, they have been scattered, and you can see several groups of discarded guerrillas who have been scattered, and you can see several groups of them when you walk 30 or 50 miles.
"It's over, I can't go back to the city. This is from the side of Jiyang City, and the attack is too fierce. Damn! Purely with a cannon. We have to have so many cannons that people won't be beaten. Damn it. Brother Hao pulled away the hay and muttered to himself as he looked in the direction of Jiyang City.
"The plane is ......! Could it be that Little Japan knows that Han Bang Mallet is in Jiyang?" Li Jinshi looked at the plane that skipped overhead, and was really a little worried.
"I'm afraid it's possible! Bad luck! Stupid mallet, pretending to be a grandson, wouldn't it be good to treat Jinan well? It's over, it's over, it's over It's over!"
Overhead, the whirring planes skimmed by, and the sound of artillery in the direction of Jiyang City overshadowed the gunfire, becoming more and more dense, almost without interval, and steel cannons and aircraft bombardment took turns to smash the already dilapidated Jiyang City.
Li Jinshi looked towards Jiyang City, as if he could see that the crumbling house had finally fallen, the staggering old woman had finally stopped, and the child looked at his leg that was thrown aside and died unwillingly. The whole city was wailing, and the rising people were pulling the bolts, aiming at the steel cannons and armored vehicles in the distance outside the city, and also trying to raise the barrels of their guns and shoot, hoping that they would shoot down those nasty but terrible planes.
They don't know that it's useless to do this, maybe they don't have any consciousness or thinking anymore, so they want to use the only weapon in their hands to fight everything that destroys their homes and mutilates their relatives.
Jiyang is already a war for the whole people, and it has started since the first bomb was dropped. Officials, squires, students, and merchants throughout the county swore to defend the city. After turning the entire front, in addition to the soldiers, only Jiyang made Li Jinshi feel unyielding, and only Jiyang still straightened his back. Even he is stealing his life, thinking of escaping at any time.
The Japanese seem to really know that the Han stick mallet is in Jiyang, and the Japanese soldiers are surrounding from all directions one after another, and the small city of Jiyang is besieged. Jiyang is no longer fighting, but interpreting the dictionary meaning of stubborn resistance. The military and civilian rifles of Jiyang City and the steel cannons of the Japanese engaged in a confrontation of not one magnitude, and their only reliance... Little by little, the walls of the city also crumbled, peeled off by shells piece by piece, and then tried to block them with rifles and numerical superiority, but the number of people gradually ceased to be superior.
The village was not too far from Jiyang, and finally came into contact with the Japanese soldiers besieging Jiyang. At first, the Japanese thought it was a scattered guerrilla, but suddenly one died, and then another. The formed squad was wiped out by the national army waiting in the village.
The Japanese are not fools, and they will not fail to compare the combat effectiveness of Jiyang and the village. There is no need to disperse the army, how to surround the village. Shandong's Nationalist Army, or the entire Third Army, was distributed across the entire Jinpu line or the entire North China Theater, and the garrison around Jiyang was no longer sufficient to defend Jiyang City.
No one knows how they came here, and according to the deployment I heard, there are many gaps that the Japanese need to open to come to Jiyang. But how did the Japanese come, thousands of Japanese soldiers poured around Jiyang City, including a small but quite important village.
