The highway from Liao County to Taiyuan, a certain intersection.

At night, a small group of militiamen was laying mines.

"Captain, captain!" A militiaman came running out of breath and reported, "Devil! A lot of devils! ”

The militia captain instantly became alert and said loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up and sweep up the traces on the road, quickly!" ”

More than 30 militiamen grabbed brooms and tree branches and seized the time to clean the road, and used the raised floating soil to cover the new soil that had been turned up when the mines were laid.

It's busy here, and there are bunches of snow-bright headlights shining on the road ahead.

In the shaking headlights, you can vaguely see groups of devil infantry, not to mention thousands of people!

"Hidden!" As soon as the militia captain gave the order, dozens of militiamen hurriedly hid in the grass on the side of the road.

The entire intersection fell silent at once, and only a few dozen militiamen let out heavy gasps, which were clearly audible.

There was also the roar of the engines of devil cars, motorcycles, and armored vehicles in the distance, and then the uniform clatter of footsteps of devil infantry as they marched.

The air seemed to freeze.

There were at least a thousand devils driving by road.

Not only a large number of people, but also artillery and even armored vehicles.

And they were only about thirty people, and they were militiamen.

Such a balance of power can no longer be described as a huge disparity.

Those who have a little brain know that this battle has nothing to fight.

Leave the blockade? It's basically no different from sending to death!

"Captain?" A militiaman approached the captain, his eyes struck with pleading.

In the darkness, more than thirty militiamen turned their heads and looked at the captain.

The captain's face immediately showed a look of fierce struggle, although he couldn't see the eyes of the team members, but he could imagine it with his toes, they obviously didn't want to fight.

Who would want to fight a battle to the death?

Who wants to die?

The problem is that this battle can't be fought, they are given death orders.

The original text of the order is to prevent the devil from returning to Taiyuan at all costs!

Sighing in his heart, the captain said in a low voice: "Comrades, the task assigned to us by the county party committee is to prevent the devils from returning to help at all costs. ”

"What does it mean at all costs, you know it."

"So, if you have any last words to explain, hurry up and tell the second dog."

"Ergouzi, I'll give you a task and go back and report to the county party committee."

"Let's just say that our Lianzhuang District team didn't disgrace our Eighth Route Army!"

The named team members swallowed their spittle, and wanted to say that I will stay with you.

But the daughter-in-law who had just married last month flashed in my mind, and when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back into my stomach.

"Captain, our district squad is a militia." Another member of the team whispered, "Not the regular army. ”

"Militia is also a soldier!" The captain's eyes gradually became firm, and he said in a deep voice, "The militia can also grow the hard bones of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

After a pause, the captain said again: "If you have anything to say, hurry up!" ”

But how can you still say anything at this time? Everyone's minds are confused.

The captain said to Ergouzi: "Ergouzi, hurry up and report to the county party committee." ”

"Yes!" The second dog agreed, and ran away quickly with the old sleeve on his back.

The other team members watched the figure of the second dog disappear into the night, with a look of envy.

In the blink of an eye, the devil's brigade had already driven to the mountain pass and entered the minefield.

The captain did not hesitate to pull the tow rope, only to hear a boom, the mines buried in the road exploded one after another, and the devils who entered the mine array were suddenly blown up and turned over on their backs.

"Hit!" The captain holding the Wang Ba box is a shot.

A few dozen meters ahead, a devil officer turned over and fell off his horse.

More than 30 militiamen raised Hanyang-made, old sleeves and even earthen guns and opened fire one after another.

The sparse gunshots rang out, and the unsuspecting devils fell down three or five more.

However, the devil reacted quickly, quickly seized the commanding heights on the side of the road, and set up light and heavy machine guns, and opened heavy fire on the position of the Lianzhuang District squad.

The Lianzhuang District team was suppressed at once.

Bullets whizzed over the position, and you couldn't even lift your head.

The captain yelled, "Grenade, grenade to the dog!" ”

Even if it is a grenade made in the border area, it is also a treasure for the militia.

But at this juncture, I don't care if it's a baby or not.

At that moment, the team members untied the grenades on their waists, pulled the fuse, and threw them to the road in a hurry.

"Boom! Boom! Immediately a continuous explosion rang out on the road, and several light and heavy machine guns that had just been firing heavily immediately stopped.

But the devil soon set up the grenadier again.

A volley of grenades quickly fell from the sky and exploded.

The militia, hiding behind the ridge, was immediately blown to pieces.

As soon as it was delayed, the devil had already rushed forward with a bayonet.

The captain subconsciously raised his gun and pulled the trigger, but only heard a click and it was jammed.

"!" The captain cursed, threw the gun away, and took a wood knife from his waist.

"Comrades, fight with the dogs!" The captain roared in the sky and rushed towards it brandishing a firewood knife.

The remaining dozen or so militiamen didn't have time to think about it, and rushed forward with their rifles with bayonets in hand.

"Die!" The captain roared, held a firewood knife, and slashed viciously at the head of a devil ensign.

However, the devil lieutenant was just a light dodge, and he easily dodged it, and as soon as the saber in his hand was sent forward, it stabbed into the captain's chest with a thud.

"Ugh!" The captain froze.

In a trance, the captain heard someone shouting for the captain.

I turned around with some difficulty, and saw the two dogs rushing over with bayonets.

"Two dogs!" The captain sighed and whispered, "Why did you come back again?" ”

"Captain, don't think that if I have participated in the Eighth Route Army for a short time, I won't be able to grow the bones of the Eighth Route Army!" The second dog stabbed the bayonet into the back of a devil with a thrust.

"If you're afraid of death, you won't join the Eighth Route Army!"

"Well said! What kind of Eighth Route Army should you be afraid of death? ”

The captain grinned, quietly unloading the grenade from his back and pulling the fuse.

The devil lieutenant was instantly alert, scolded angrily, and put away his knife and retreated, but he was still half a beat slower.

I only heard a bang, and the shock wave generated by the explosion knocked the captain and the devil lieutenant to the ground at the same time.

The battle ended quickly, including the two dogs who came back halfway, more than 30 militiamen from the Lianzhuang District squad did not escape from the battle, and all of them died heroically!

However, their sacrifice was not without merit.

The 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which returned to help, was delayed for at least more than an hour!
