A company of the guard battalion, which had been waiting for a long time, quickly went up to the wall. Han Xing issued a second order: "Hit, hit hard—"

A hundred assault rifles, 12 light machine guns, and 3 heavy machine guns opened fire on the dense recalcitrant troops under the wall. "Sudden ......", "Da ......", "Bang Bang ......" all kinds of bullets are like hailstones, shooting towards the enemy, almost no need to aim, just start fighting.

It turned out that the recalcitrant army under the wall could withstand the blows of thirty or forty miscellaneous guns. At this moment, the firepower increased several times at once, and the recalcitrant soldiers fell down one by one.

Some recalcitrant soldiers looked at it, my mother, what kind of joint defense team is this, it was originally some regular Eighth Route Army! Never before has such a heavy firepower been. As soon as they grabbed their heads, they ran to the back, and the rout of several people led the entire army, and the morale of a regiment was shaken.

When the soldiers who rushed to the front saw that their spirits were also greatly affected, they ran away, and we were still doing whatever we wanted, and we also retreated one after another. The officials also panicked when they saw it, and if they continued to fight, they couldn't wait for the whole army to be wiped out, and they would also retreat with it.

The deer and the blockade ditch blocked their escape path, and the bullets on the wall continued to shoot down, and the recalcitrant soldiers were knocked down a lot. They finally crossed the blockade ditch before they let go of the girl and ran to the back without a life.

On the wall of Zhangjialou, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers. In particular, the children of the children's group jumped high with their desperation, shouting desperately: "The two devils have escaped, the two devils have been defeated, the two devils have escaped, the two devils have been defeated-"

The women were also unusually happy, shouting loudly: "We also beat the two devils with our own hands." "The two devils are nothing remarkable, they will run away as soon as they hit." "This cannon is the one I loaded, and I saw that 3 two devils were killed!" "We women are also on the battlefield, who said that we will not be able to fight immediately."

After the failure of the second attack, Li Qishan no longer had the mood to organize a third attack, and besides, with heavy casualties, he couldn't climb this high wall at all after spending so much effort. Qian Donkey's skills were poor, so he had to lead his defeated army and retreat to Chiping in a gloomy manner.

In this battle, more than 250 people were killed and wounded in Li Qishan, and a large number of rifles, bullets, and grenades were captured.

After Li Qishan suffered this big loss, how could he be willing, and after the New Year, he organized another attack. However, this time, Zhangjialou's joint defense team organized all the villagers to transfer, which made Li Qishan's team fall into the air. They had nowhere to vent their anger, and after burning down part of the house, they evacuated in a huff.

One day on March 29, 1945, that is, on February 16 of the lunar calendar, Han Xing knew that the test of blood and fire faced by Zhangjialou had come again. But he couldn't report these things to his superiors, so he could only lead the guard battalion to Zhangjialou on the afternoon of March 28.

In fact, on February 14 of the lunar calendar, Li Qishan, the puppet county magistrate, summoned Chiping's Japanese adviser Inoue, the director of communication Lei Hanchen, the chief of staff Du Jianzhi, and the pistol captain Yang Cuncai, to plot a plan to attack Zhangjialou again. Through the contact between Inoue and Guojing, the adviser of the Japanese army stationed in Chiping, 60 Japanese soldiers from the 44th Brigade of the 53rd Brigade of the 59th Division in Liaocheng, and a regiment of the security army, led by a lieutenant of the Japanese army, arrived in Chiping on the afternoon of March 28.

Xu Shen, the magistrate of Chiping County at that time, learned the exact news that the Japanese puppet army was preparing to wash Zhangjialou in blood the night before, and immediately wrote a letter to the Zhangjialou militia joint defense team, asking all the villagers to evacuate immediately and not stick to it. But what I never expected was that the messenger was drunk and didn't deliver the letter! This made Zhangjialou Village miss the opportunity to evacuate.

Han Xing entered the village, found Zhang Chenggang, and said to him: "Have you received a notice from your superiors asking your whole village to retreat?" The Japanese troops in Liaocheng and a regiment of the public security army have already arrived in Chiping, and they have colluded with Chiping Li Qishan's team to attack our Zhangjialou tomorrow. ”

Zhang Chenggang, who had already experienced many battles on the side, was a little surprised, and said to Han Xing: "Notice? We didn't get it. With your guard battalion here, am I still afraid of these little devils! ”

Han Xing shook his head and said, "No." To tell the truth, if the Japanese army in Liaocheng and the troops of Chiping Li Qishan, our guard battalion would not be able to parry. Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, I think, Zhangjialou is not the first to retreat. ”

Zhang Chenggang looked at the gloomy sky and said: "It just snowed lightly yesterday, and it may fall today, before I received a notice from my superiors, I don't know if the little devil will come, I think wait a minute!" ”

Although this is already the second month of the lunar calendar, the day is still unusually cold, and it snowed again yesterday, which is even more cold. The cold weather also prompted the villagers of Zhangjialou Village not to evacuate in time.

Han Xing really wants to change history, but history is history, and it is difficult to change it in the hands of a small person!

That night, Han Xing and the battalion headquarters of the guard battalion were still camped at Ji Yufen's house. The man in Ji Yufen's family was honest, and when he saw the troops coming, he didn't say a word, and picked up the house where the troops were going to live.

Ji Yufen and Han Xing became acquainted, and when she saw that Han Xing had arrived, she said happily: "Commander Han, welcome to our house again." It's all familiar, so you don't have to be polite, we still live in the Westinghouse, and the whole yard is yours. ”

As she spoke, she put the child on the kang head, scooped a bucket of cold water from the frozen water tank, and then added it to the pot, needless to say, she was boiling hot water for the Eighth Route Army again.

Han Xing hurriedly stopped her and said, "We all have arms and legs, we do our own work, you are still busy with yours!" ”

Ji Yufen said politely: "I don't have anything to do, I boil some boiling water, wash my face, burn my feet, and save money, I've been running for a day." I haven't been here for months, and I miss you. Also, you are very good at coaxing children, and you can sing nursery rhymes, I have learned everything. ”

Ji Yufen didn't delay her work when she spoke, and while pulling with Han Xing, she hugged cotton firewood, lit a fire, and opened the bellows, Gudada, Gudada. A stream of flames came out of the stove, filling the whole house with fire, and the cold on his body quickly dissipated.

The child was about to cry again, so Han Xing picked him up and sang a nursery rhyme while coaxing. The child coaxed and giggled again. When Han Xing saw him, his little face was fatter than a few months ago, his eyes were more and more story-like, and his mouth was as if he wanted to talk to himself.

The more he looked at it, the more likable he became, and Han Xing said to Ji Yufen: "How about I accept him as my godson?" ”

"That's good," Ji Yufen said happily, "He can be your Commander Han's son, this is his blessing." When he grows up, he will also serve as a soldier in your army, and train him well. ”

Ji Yufen boiled the water, the soldiers came to fetch water, and Han Xing said to her: "It's not good, the devils and the recalcitrant army are coming to raid Zhangjialou tomorrow, I don't know if you have a hiding place at home?" ”

Hearing that the devil was coming, Ji Yufen didn't seem scared, and said to Han Xing: "Come again, come to my village twice, they didn't take advantage of it, and they still worried about whether Zhangjialou was or not." With your guard battalion here, what are we afraid of? ”

Han Xing sighed and said, "If there are really few devils and recalcitrant soldiers, we are not afraid of him, but if there are too many, I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with it." Let's go to your hiding place and take a look, not afraid of 10,000, but also afraid of what happens! ”

"That place is weirdly dirty, what's there to see!" Obviously, Ji Yufen was unwilling to lead Han Xing to see the hiding cave.

"No, you have to go and see what you say, if you don't take a look, you don't feel at ease!" Han Xing also lost his temper.

Ji Yufen had no choice but to lead Han Xing to see it. He walked to the east room, which was the summer stove house, removed the large iron pot on the stove pot, which had not been used for a long time, and picked up the ashes of the firewood, revealing a wooden board, and pulling the wooden board to the side, revealing a black hole.

Han Xing said to her, "Eldest sister, bring your oil lamp, and I'll go down and have a look." ”

"Don't go down," Ji Yufen said, "It's not clean inside, it's not cost-effective to go down and get dirt!" ”

"No way!" Han Xing said forcefully, "I have to go down and take a look, I don't feel at ease if I don't take a look." ”

Ji Yufen couldn't resist Han Xing, so she had to bring an oil lamp, light it, Han Xing and Zhang Xiaosan went down to watch, and Ji Yufen followed.

After entering the cave, Han Xing felt that this hiding hole was okay, with a small mouth and a big hole, and there was no problem with pretending to be more than ten people. I don't feel how to hold back the panic, it seems that there are ventilation holes. And there are also some sweet potatoes in it, these sweet potatoes, quenching hunger and thirst, encountered a major event, there is really no problem to stay for a few days.

After coming up to the cave, Ji Yufen asked Han Xing: "Do you want to see if there is anything wrong with this hiding cave?" ”

Han Xing thought for a while and said, "There is nothing wrong in the cave, but there is still something wrong with the entrance of the cave?" ”

"What's the matter?" Ji Yufen's eyes widened suddenly.

Han Xing said: "If a hole is built under the pot stove, it is fine, it is clever and hidden, but if it is built under the pot stove, it will be too ordinary." Especially the current hiding hole, either under the cupboard, or under the water tank, not under the water tank or under the kang, not inside the kang or under the pot stove, even I know it. The little devils and the recalcitrant army are not stupid, and they have to search these places closely. ”

Hearing Han Xing say this, Ji Yufen was a little panicked and asked, "Where do you say it's good to build?" ”

Han Xing frowned and said, "I can't tell what's good, but the more unthinkable it is, the more unsearchable it is, the better." ”

When Ji Yufen heard Han Xing say this, she was also a little anxious, and she couldn't imagine that the hiding hole she had worked so hard to dig would make Han Xing look down on her. She said annoyedly: "It would be good if you came early to consult, if the devil comes tomorrow, it will be too late to dig now!" ”
