With their backs to Dawu Village and replenished their weapons and ammunition, the members of the Qingle County Martial Arts Brigade once again put up a position on Tieping Mountain to block the advance of the Japanese army. Under the situation of almost the whole village mobilization in Dawu Village, dozens of Ding Zhuang from Dawu Village, who had touched the gun a few times, naturally joined the combat sequence of the Wugong team, and the other villagers in Dawu Village also carried all kinds of household goods that were only needed when doing farm work, lit Songming torches, and rushed to repair several fortifications overnight!

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Mo Tianliu and Yang Chao lay side by side in the trench that had just been excavated and was still moist with earth, each holding a telescope to observe the Japanese army team that was slowly pressing in the direction of Dawu Village, and whispered almost at the same time: "Good guy, I'm afraid there must be thousands of devils, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mo Tianliu and Yang Chao all lowered the telescopes held in front of them and looked at each other......

Not surprisingly, the Japanese troops pressing in the direction of Dawu Village had gathered enough troops, and even the heavy artillery was dragged up along the rugged mountain road, putting on a posture of vowing not to give up until the goal was achieved. In terms of the comparison of the strength and firepower of the two sides, the Qingle County Martial Arts Engineer Team guarding in front of Dawu Village has no chance of winning, just to see how long it can drag this surging Japanese army?

Leaning on his back against the chest wall of the trench, Mo Tianliu squinted his eyes at the clear blue sky that had not yet been polluted by gunsmoke: "I'm afraid it is...... That's it? I said, instructor, can you bring your private belongings? ”

While reaching out and groping in his pocket, Yang Chao shouted at Mo Tianliu as if he was knowingly asking, "What is it?" ”

"Commander Li personally gave you twenty rounds of bullets! When I was separated from Commander Li, I could see clearly that Commander Li personally handed it over to you. Judging by the posture that you were not in a hurry at all when you replenished weapons and ammunition in Dawu Village, you must not have used those bullets yet! ”

took out a small cloth bag that was wrapped very carefully from his coat pocket, but Yang Chao didn't hurry to hand the small cloth bag to Mo Tianliu's spread slap: "Then you can bring it too?" ”

"What can I have on you that you can use?"

Glancing at Mo Tianliu fiercely, the deep and visible wound on Yang Chao's face that was picked open by the devil's bayonet suddenly twitched, and he gasped in pain and shouted at Mo Tianliu: "I saw you under the Dysentery Ridge, and you touched the 38 big bullets clamped by the two bridges on the corpse of the devil!" ”

Very reluctantly took out the two bridges of shiny bullets from the cowhide bullet box hanging on the back of his waist, and Mo Tianliu slapped the bullet heavily in Yang Chao's hand in pain: "It's okay, don't let go of the empty gun, remember to collect the bullet shell after the fight!" ”

"I taught you this rule, but you came to tell me now?"

Hehe smiled evilly, Mo Tianliu took out two Japanese cigarette rolls from the cowhide bullet box, and handed one of them towards Yang Chao: "I taught you, right?" ”

Taking the crumpled Japanese cigarette roll handed by Mo Tianliu, Yang Chao groped out a box of matches from his body, carefully put a lantern with his hand, lit a cigarette for Mo Tianliu and himself, and half-leaned on the freshly dug trench and took a hard puff: "I really can't think about it...... When I was studying, I always thought that smoking and drinking were bad habits, and my father and scolding my mother was vulgar, but now, ....... There is no shortage of cigarettes, alcohol and scolding, all ready! ”

Leaning side by side with Yang Chao on the trench, Mo Tianliu spit out his eyes with disdain: "Can you pull it down...... Students who come out of Yenching University also have to eat, drink, and sleep, don't they? I said, the female officer of the propaganda team of the Southern Hebei Army Division, every time I look at her, her eyes are full of waves? You really don't know....... Is it pretending not to know? ”

His face sank suddenly, Yang Chao hesitated for a moment, and sighed heavily: "She...... Didn't rush out......."

Suddenly startled, Mo Tianliu bounced up as if a scorpion had stung, glared at Yang Chao and shouted: "Didn't the propaganda team of the military subdivision go out with those progressive students to engage in propaganda?" Captain Yan blocked the devil, and you also went over to take a hand, how could she not rush out? Why didn't you save those fellows and progressive students who were wrapped up in devils when you went to save her? ”

"It is estimated that they met some fellows on the road who want to follow the team, all of them are dragging their families and carrying baskets, and if they can't go fast, they will call the little devils to surround them! When we arrived, it was already ...... Late ......"

"The propaganda team and those progressive students ......."

"None of them rushed out, and they died in a heap while protecting their fellows! She....... There were more than a dozen bayonets on his body, and on the pen he was holding in his hand, he still had the eyeballs of a devil ......."

"This....... This comrade is a good example! Ah........ Where did these old ancestors come from?! ”

After hurriedly snuffing out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and stuffing it into his pocket, Mo Tianliu jumped out of the trench and greeted more than a dozen old men who were holding various musical instruments in their hands and were about seventy years old, and shouted loudly: "My ancestors, what are you doing here?" Didn't they all tell you to follow the old people, women and children in the village to hide in the secret kiln under the ancestral hall? If the devil rushes into the village, there will still be a way to live! What are you ...... They all bring their guys with you, this is the time when you can sing Qin dialect and find pleasure? ”

Panting and waving his hand at Mo Tianliu, who came forward, the old pawn who walked in front gasped for a long time, and then shouted at Mo Tianliu with a Shaanxi accent that had not changed for half his life: "There are so many people in the dark kiln!" We discussed, the old ones all came out, leaving only the old lady Jiang and the housekeeper to accompany those women and young dolls, and Ding Zhuang in the village also went to find the guys who could use them, and the kung fu of talking could get here! You can fight with confidence, just fight, although the old guys are useless, but this time they also have to fill the vanguard officer, so that they can kill the devil's guts! ”

Tapping the musical instrument that has been in his hand for many years, another old man who has just taken a breath quickly took over the words of Lao Xiaotou: "We are all old, and we don't have any skills on the side, so we can only use these guys in our hands to cheer for you future generations who are not afraid of death!" I said, old guys, go to the back of these dolls and find a spacious place, and we'll be lively! ”

Without waiting for Mo Tianliu to talk to Yang Chao who jumped out of the trench, these old men in Shaanxi who had finally climbed up Tieping Mountain had already found a slightly flat place within the annular trench on the top of the mountain, and opened the formation with ease.

In mid-air, the whistling sound of mortar shells suddenly sounded at this time, and the dust and rubble from the raindrops of shells suddenly covered the figures of those old people......

was not disturbed by the violent explosion at all, and after the three rings of the Yueqin in the hand of an old man with a white beard, a Qin tone that was almost cracked had already sounded from the mouth of the old pawn: "Military Academy, prepare for horses!" ”

In the roaring voices of the old people, the Qin dialect in the mouth of the old pawn became louder and louder:

"There will be a sound of earthquakes

The man is clothed and armoured and saddled

The big and small children shouted in unison

Urge the men and horses to the front of the battle

Wear a crown of hair on your head

Wearing a jade chain

Lion clasp at chest

Carry a dragon spring in your waist

The bow is like a moon

Pierced in the wolf's tooth sac

Push away the green-maned horse

Haojie dares to take the lead

It is Haojie who urges the horse to advance

The outpost soldier reported a ......"

In the intermittent explosions, it was almost impossible to hear, but the cold Qin dialect was not chaotic at all, and there was no interruption for a moment. But gradually, Yueqin's voice suddenly stopped in the explosion, and Banhu also fell silent after a few scattered sonatas.......

When Mo Tianliu barely raised his head from the dust that filled the trenches, there was only the stubborn steel chant of the old pawn behind him: "Urge the green-maned horse, Haojie dares to take the lead......."

Fiercely pulling away the hammer of the twenty rings in his hand, Mo Tianliu aimed at a devil who was sneaking towards the trench in the smoke and dust, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Hit me!" ”

In the slightly messy sound of gunfire, the Japanese troops, who had only intended to make a tentative attack on the blocking positions blocking the road, quickly withdrew, and even the bodies of several Japanese soldiers who were killed were dragged away. Without waiting for Mo Tianliu to open his mouth to greet Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was not a soldier at all, saved bullets and listened to the order to shoot, the strange whistling sound of heavy artillery shells was already heard in the sky again!

Without hesitation, bending over and running wildly in the trenches, Mo Tianliu roared with all his might, letting Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was frightened by the sudden bombardment, hold his head and dare not move, into the tightest anti-artillery hole from them, or drag Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was running indiscriminately on the position, into the trench. When the Japanese artillery began to extend the shooting, Yang Chao, who took the initiative to serve as an observation post, also shouted in a torn voice: "Prepare for battle!" The devils are coming up, ready to fight! ”

Holding the only two remaining machine guns, the machine gunners in the military engineering team quickly pounced into the two machine gun fortifications that had not yet been blown up, and pulled the trigger towards the Japanese soldiers who had no offensive formation at all, but were just rushing like ants. And those experienced martial arts team members also each pulled one or two Ding Zhuang from Dawu Village, lying on the trench and shooting bullets one after another at the Japanese soldiers!

Obviously, it was inevitable to win this attack, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed wildly towards the blocking position built by the Wugong team almost didn't even have the action of dodging the cat's waist, and all of them tried their best to speed up the pace of the attack, but in the blink of an eye, they broke through the pitiful firepower of the Wugong team, and smashed into the trench with bayonets!

Pulling out his usual long dagger, Mo Tianliu stabbed over a Japanese soldier who rushed into the trench from his side, and then he smiled at Yang Chao, who had already emptied all the bullets in the rifle and was putting on a white-knuckle combat posture: "Instructor, when it comes to this, you can't take care of the side!" ”

Laughing, Yang Chao simply jumped out of the trench with an arrow step, and stabbed a bayonet at a Japanese soldier who hit him: "If you don't care about it, you can't take care of it!" Let's concentrate on killing devils......"

There was no need for an order, every member of the martial arts team on the battlefield and Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village fought with the Japanese soldiers who rushed in front of him, and even a few machine gunners smashed the machine gun after emptying the last bullet, pulled out the bayonet pinned to the back of their waists, hugged the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the machine gun bunker, and stabbed the Japanese soldiers who were hugged by themselves one after another!

In the blink of an eye, the defensive positions built by the martial arts engineers were overwhelmed by the swarming Japanese soldiers. Among the Japanese soldiers wearing khaki uniforms everywhere, those martial arts workers who wielded various weapons and even fought with their bare hands against the Japanese soldiers were like stones in the vast ocean, drowned by the overwhelming waves again and again, but they stubbornly emerged again and again......

Swinging a knife to cut the throat of a Japanese soldier, Mo Tianliu accidentally bumped into Yang Chao's side, gasping and smiling at Yang Chao, who had two wounds on his body again: "Instructor, how many have you slaughtered?" ”

Staring at the three Japanese soldiers who formed a stabbing formation in front of him, Yang Chao also gasped and responded: "Two ...... You? ”

Standing beside Yang Chao with a long dagger, Mo Tianliu eagerly stared at the throat of a Japanese soldier: "Stronger than you, I'll kill three....... This is that there are too few of us, otherwise, we will have to fight the devil with bayonets! ”

"Then let's bring more people next time!"

Suddenly rushed out at the Japanese soldiers standing opposite him, Mo Tianliu laughed loudly and said, "Bring a mallet...... In case of ringing...... And Mitsukura and Arita Brother! ”

With the same standard stabbing action, Yang Chao also laughed and threw himself at the Japanese soldier opposite him: "And the old captain!" Wei Zhengguang ...... And those comrades who are tired and go to rest first...... Let's kill the devil together! ”

It seems that there is a spirit in heaven and earth, and at the moment when Yang Chao's roar came out, from the front of the Japanese soldiers who were almost all over the position, a roar like an angry wave sounded earth-shatteringly: "Kill the devil!" Let's kill the devil together......"

Deliberately sold a flaw, Mo Tianliu flashed a stab from the Japanese soldier on the opposite side, and stabbed the Japanese soldier in the heart, then turned his head and looked in the direction where the shout sounded, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "It's the villagers...... Ding Zhuang from Dawu Village came up......."

With the corner of his eye, he looked at Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was wielding all kinds of weapons and even farm tools and rushing towards the Japanese army, Yang Chao waved the bayonet in his hand to block the assassination of the two Japanese soldiers on the opposite side: "I'm afraid that there are not only the villagers in Dawu Village, you see the ...... behind them."

With a few swings of the knife, Mo Tianliu and Yang Chao teamed up to force back the two Japanese soldiers, and then they hurriedly glanced back: "Yes...... Red flag? It is the red flag of our Eighth Route Army! ”

As if in response to Mo Tianliu's surprise shout, the loud charging horn also sounded from the direction of the red flag. With the loud trumpet resounding in the sky, one red flag after another, like a sparkling prairie fire, constantly jumped out from within the reach of Mo Tianliu and Yang Chao. And under the red flag, thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed towards the battlefield like a landslide and tsunami......

postscript

At this point, it's time to finish.

There may be some book lovers who feel uncomfortable, this story seems to end before it is told?

Perhaps some book friends have already seen that the real historical background of the story described in this book is the Eighth Route Army's breakthrough battle in southern Hebei.

The devils failed to implement a public security war plan in North China, so they secretly mobilized troops, implemented the tactics of encirclement and cage tactics, and surrounded the base areas of the Eighth Route Army with absolute superiority, in a vain attempt to completely wipe out the anti-Japanese armed forces in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army!

So began the arduous southern Hebei breakout battle......

I don't want to dwell on the real war history that is readily available on Internet search engines, but almost no one searches. At the same time, I also think that even the best article in the world cannot depict one ten-thousandth of that tragic breakthrough battle!

So I just wrote about some of the things that the peasants who could be seen everywhere in the southern Hebei region at that time experienced before and during the tragic breakout battle.

As for the true end of the story, I think everyone knows that we have a new republic! A powerful country for which countless martyrs dreamed of, struggled and sacrificed!

Perhaps this country still has one or another inadequacy, and some of the dark things are even more hateful!

But the vast majority of people in this country can be fed, clothed, and upright!

You can proudly raise your head in front of this world that adheres to the law of the jungle!

For those martyrs who gave us all this, to borrow a sentence from "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year"?

- We, happy and grateful

I would like to dedicate this article to those ancestors and martyrs who have sacrificed everything for the great motherland and the Chinese nation
