On August 22, 1937, according to the agreement reached between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Kuomintang announced that the main force of the Red Army would be reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and agreed to establish a general headquarters. In September of the same year, the Japanese army began to attack Shanxi in order to control the whole of North China.

Yan Xishan couldn't sit still at this time, on the one hand, he urgently deployed defense, and on the other hand, he asked the National Central Committee for help.

Despite this, it still did not resist the advance of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army captured Datong in September 37.

The current situation is not optimistic, but the only thing Yan Xishan can do now is to order strict precautions and wait for rescue. The 115th Division, the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army, arrived at Pingxingguan on September 19, followed by the rest of the Eighth Route Army and all entered Shanxi.

The 735th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army received orders from its superiors to arrive at Lijiagou on September 30.

Shen Yunjie carefully studied the map in his hand, and he soon found that the village in front of him was the destination Lijiagou. Shen Yunjie, commander of the 7th Company of the 735th Regiment, 27 years old. The 7th Company was the vanguard of the 735th Regiment.

Shen Yunjie carefully put away the map after determining his location, and then motioned for the team to stop advancing.

The whole company quickly stopped.

Shen Yunjie shouted at the crowd "Lao Cai, Lao Cai"

As soon as Shen Yunjie's voice fell, he saw a person emerge from the crowd to respond to Shen Yunjie: "What's wrong with the company commander?" "The person who spoke was Lao Cai. Lao Cai's full name is Cai Youfu, a platoon leader of the Seventh Company, thirty-nine years old.

"Lao Cai, according to the map, it should be Lijiagou in front, for the sake of prudence, you take a few people over to reconnoitre."

"Okay" Lao Cai received the order, quickly selected a few fighters, and went to Lijiagou.

After Lao Cai left, Shen Yunjie ordered the troops to rest in place. Some warriors sat on the floor and began to close their eyes to recuperate, while others sat around and began to chat.

Shen Yunjie waited in the same place for a long time, Lao Cai returned, Shen Yunjie saw that only Lao Cai came back, he was very puzzled, this is not before Lao Cai spoke, Shen Yunjie took the lead in asking: "Why are you back alone, and the others?" ”

Lao Cai didn't care about resting, and hurriedly explained to Shen Yunjie: "Company commander, don't worry, a few of them are fine, but I have a more important thing to report to you, we found Japanese devils in Lijiagou Village, and I asked them to keep an eye on it first." ”

As soon as Lao Cai's voice fell, Shen Yunjie was very surprised: "What? You just said that you found Japanese devils in Lijiagou? ”

Lao Cai nodded.

"How can there be devils in Lijiagou?" Although Shen Yunjie didn't believe it, Lao Cai was so sure that it shouldn't be wrong: "How many devils are there in Lijiagou Village now??" ”

"A dozen."

After hearing Lao Cai's answer, Shen Yunjie seemed to feel that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "How many?" ”

Lao Cai had to answer again, "More than a dozen"

Shen Yunjie was already a little confused, but after Lao Cai answered, Shen Yunjie was even more confused. The reason why Shen Yunjie was so surprised was because, judging from the current battle situation, Li Jiagou was far away from the entire frontal battlefield. This made Shen Yunjie have to confirm to Lao Cai again, "Lao Cai, are you sure that there are indeed more than a dozen devils in Lijiagou Village??" ”

Lao Cai nodded again with great certainty.

A thought popped up in Shen Yunjie's heart: "How could a few Japanese devils suddenly pop up in this position?" It's so unconscionable. Could it be that the devil wants to trap the Jin Sui army on the frontal battlefield? But then Shen Yunjie denied himself: "What are a dozen devils enough to do?" ”

"Really, why do I want to do so much now? Since these dozen Japanese devils let me meet today, then don't blame me for being rude."

Shen Yunjie immediately decided, "Lao Cai takes your platoon of people, let's go and eliminate these dozen devils"

Lao Cai began to gather a row of soldiers, and this scene happened to be bumped into by Xiao Linzi, who was resting on the side, and Xiao Linzi instantly understood that there must be some action. Xiao Linzi got up and found Shen Yunjie in the crowd who was about to leave: "Company commander, what are you going to do here?" "Xiao Linzi's full name is Lu Qinglin, and he is twenty-three years old.

Shen Yunjie glanced at Xiao Linzi, "Lao Cai said that more than a dozen Japanese devils were found in front of us, and we were preparing to eliminate them."

Shen Yunjie didn't hide it in the slightest. After Xiao Linzi learned that there were devils, he was first shocked, and then questioned: "Fight devils? Company commander, you take a platoon? In addition to worrying about Shen Yunjie and them, Xiao Linzi also wanted Shen Yunjie to bring himself by the way.

Shen Yunjie put his hand on Xiao Linzi's shoulder, "Don't worry, there are only a dozen devils." Besides, there are too many people with me, and I'm afraid that I will scare the devil away. ”

Xiao Linzi saw that Shen Yunjie didn't understand his true intentions, so he could only say more bluntly: "Company commander, you also take me, I want to go too." ”

Shen Yunjie also agreed very happily.

At the edge of Lijiagou Village, Lao Cai's tracking position chosen by Lao Cai in order not to alarm the Japanese devils was far away from the devils. Shen Yunjie was using a telescope to observe the situation of the devil. Shen Yunjie observed in the telescope that the Japanese devils were cooking in a relatively open place in the southwest corner of the village, and two chickens were roasting on the bonfire next to them.

"Second squad leader, you will take your people to ambush behind the row of houses in a while" Shen Yunjie said and pointed to the houses he was talking about, and at the same time Shen Yunjie handed the telescope to the second squad leader, and the second squad leader used the telescope to observe the row of houses and the surrounding environment of the houses that Shen Yunjie said, and the row of houses that Shen Yunjie said was three or four hundred meters to the left of the devil.

After the second squad leader understood his task, Shen Yunjie continued: "The people of the third squad followed me to the back of the house on the right side of the devil. One will be the second and third squads to shoot at the devils together with the gunfire on my side."

Lao Cai saw that Shen Yunjie did not arrange a task for himself, so he hurriedly asked, "Company commander, what about me?" ”

"What's the hurry, I haven't finished yet." Shen Yunjie was a little helpless: "You take a squad of soldiers to go around to the rear of the devil for a while, and after a fight on our side, you will be responsible for cutting off the back road of the devil." ”

After Lao Cai received the task, "Company commander, don't worry, I will never let go of a devil"

Before Lao Cai left, Shen Yunjie finally explained to Lao Cai: "Lao Cai, I only give you ten minutes, and after ten minutes, our side will attack." If a devil runs away at that time, I'll ask you."

Lao Cai just nodded, and then disappeared into Shen Yunjie's field of vision with a squad of soldiers.

Then Shen Yunjie and the others also began to act separately.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers of the second squad and Shen Yunjie's side had already entered the designated attack position. During this period, these dozen Japanese devils only cared about eating chickens and slaughtering ducks, and did not notice anything strange around them.

The second squad leader who was in charge of ambushing on the left side signaled to Shen Yunjie, who was not far away, that his side was ready to attack at any time.

Before taking action, Shen Yunjie looked around again and determined that there were only a dozen Japanese devils around.

Shen Yunjie said to Xiao Linzi beside him, "Xiao Linzi, do you see that light machine gun next to the enemy?" ”

Because the devils were busy making a fire and cooking at this time, the weapons were all placed aside.

Xiao Linzi nodded, and Shen Yunjie continued: "After the fight starts in a while, whoever gets the machine gun can be beaten for me." Do you understand? ”

Xiao Linzi nodded again. I forgot to explain that Lu Qinglin's marksmanship was one of the best in the entire seven consecutive meters, and he was within three hundred meters. (Friendly reminder: The 300 meters mentioned here refers to shooting with Hanyang-made.) In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army used the most Hanyang-made. ）

Everything was ready, and Shen Yunjie officially started the battle with a gunshot.

Shen Yunjie shot down a Japanese devil who was burning the fire, and then the other devils quickly picked up their weapons after hearing the gunshot, and then looked for cover, and those who did not have cover lay down on the spot. The movements are swift and coherent, all in one go. At the same time, the soldiers of the second squad also joined the battle as soon as they received the signal.

At this time, there were really devils running towards machine guns, and Xiao Linzi was also unceremoniously aimed at the devils with a shot.

It's just that Xiao Linzi's shot did not kill the devil but hit the devil's left arm, the devil did not lose his ability to move, and the devil fired in the direction of Shen Yunjie after getting the machine gun. What was happening in front of them was something that Shen Yunjie and Xiao Linzi didn't expect.

Fortunately, Shen Yunjie was already cowering behind the house at the moment, because Shen Yunjie knew very well that his position would be exposed the moment he shot, so Shen Yunjie immediately hid behind the house after firing the first shot.

Shen Yunjie just glanced at Xiao Linzi helplessly, and Xiao Linzi lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.

Shen Yunjie knew very well in his heart that the shot he shot just now was not a problem with Xiao Linzi's marksmanship, but a problem with the gun in Xiao Linzi's hand. The barrel of the gun in Xiao Linzi's hand was already obviously bent.

Shen Yunjie understands what the problem is, but there is no way, for now, some soldiers in the Eighth Route Army don't even have guns, and it is good to be able to use this kind of defective gun that does not affect normal shooting.

After a moment of distraction, Shen Yunjie once again shifted his attention to the battle, because Xiao Linzi failed to kill the machine gunner on the opposite side just now, now the machine gunner was frantically shooting at Shen Yunjie and them.

Xiao Linzi knew that he had lost the best time to shoot, but in order to make up for his mistake, he wanted to risk the enemy's machine gun fire to make up for it, Xiao Linzi was just about to poke out of cover, but was pulled back by Shen Yunjie, "You don't want to die?!" ”

Xiao Lin Zileng didn't say a word in place, Shen Yunjie didn't have more time to pay attention to Xiao Lin Zi, the top priority now was to find a way to deal with the enemy's machine gun, and Shen Yunjie, who was experienced in combat, immediately thought of a way. Shen Yunjie asked the soldier next to him for a hand**, Shen Yunjie quickly poked out half of his head after receiving the hand**, and quickly locked the current position of the devil machine gunner while poking out his head, and then dodged back to cover as quickly as possible.

Shen Yunjie, who was hiding behind the cover, immediately pulled the hand ** that was about to come over just now, and after pulling the line, Shen Yunjie waited for about two seconds and then threw his hand ** in the direction of the devil's machine gunner. Shen Yunjie's series of movements are also very smooth, done in one go, without dragging the mud and water at all.

With a loud bang, the sound of machine gun fire stopped abruptly, Shen Yunjie also poked his head out very carefully to observe the situation, only to see the machine gunner spread on the ground motionless, the devil is dead or not, Shen Yunjie is not sure, but it is certain that this devil has lost the ability to fight.

Shen Yunjie breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to himself: "Thank God, fortunately, this hand ** is not a rotten egg." ”

After the Japanese devils were suppressed by the firepower of this machine gun, Shen Yunjie immediately ordered everyone to counterattack, after all, the Japanese devils only had a dozen people After a firefight, only four devils were still alive, these four devils knew that they were powerless to resist and chose to escape, but how did these four devils know that Lao Cai had cut off their back road.
