Chapter Forty-Nine: The Half-Cut Turret.

After the team was assembled, Zhao Shixun first briefly read out the commendation order of his superiors, and announced in public that the Hengqu County Brigade was officially established.

Knowing that their team had a new name, the militiamen were very excited. The transformation from a village militia brigade to a county-level anti-Japanese armed force gave these militias a sense of recognition of their strength. Everyone whispered about what kind of team this county brigade was.

In fact, Zhao Shixun knew very well in his heart that the county brigade was not a regular establishment at all, and he also knew something about the anti-Japanese armed forces under the communist party when he was in the national army, and this county brigade was at best a local second-rate anti-Japanese armed force, and it still did not get rid of the militia.

However, Zhao Shixun didn't say what he thought, anyway, it's just a title, it doesn't matter what it's called in his opinion, what really matters is combat effectiveness, that's everything.

After announcing the establishment of the county brigade, Zhao Shixun immediately went straight to the point. first appointed Zhou Yu as the deputy captain of the county brigade, and then let Da Zhuzi replace Li Changshun, who died in battle, as the squad leader of the third squad. As for this mission, Zhao Shixun decided to take Xizi's first class and Dazhuzi's third class to go, and Zhou Yu, Lao Immortal and others stayed in Shenquan Village to watch their family.

……

Taking advantage of the militia's rest, Zhao Shixun took out a German telescope captured from the devil's stronghold in the last battle and carefully observed the situation down the mountain.

After leaving Nakajo Mountain, he has already entered the territory of the Japanese puppet army. Especially in the Xia County generation, which is not far from Yuncheng. The Japanese puppet army here is strong, there are many artillery towers, and almost every village has plainclothes teams rampant. Although only in the county town were Japanese formed units stationed, the construction of a large number of artillery tower strongholds by the Japanese puppet army on the road leading to various villages should not be underestimated.

Sure enough, just south of Wenxiao Village, less than two miles from the bottom of the mountain, a simple turret had been half built. The location of the turret is the entrance to the road into the mountain nearby, and its main purpose is very clear, that is, to block the road into the mountain.

Because the terrain after coming out of the mountain is very flat, the place that this turret can control is not small, at least within a radius of a thousand meters, it is within its firepower strike range, and as for the observation distance, it can extend at least ten miles.

With this turret, anyone who wants to enter and exit the mountain or enter the village from here during the day will never escape the eyes of the Japanese puppet army. Similarly, the activities of the villagers in the village could not escape the vision of the Japanese puppet army, and the whole village was like a cage.

Of course, this kind of turret is useless at night, and the view is no more than 100 meters at most. However, since most of the villagers have night blindness, at night, most people will never run around.

"Captain......, how are you looking? How many devils are there in this half of the small cannon building? ”

Seeing Zhao Shixun look at it with his glasses for a while, Da Zhu took off his hat and fanned himself desperately, and walked over and asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun slowly put down the binoculars and looked at Wenxiao Village under the mountain with a frown.

"The turret has not yet been built, and there are only two rows of barracks in the courtyard. I don't see the devil. There were five or six puppet soldiers in the courtyard below the turret, and I guess there should be seven or eight more in the barracks. In the middle of the courtyard there was a simple lookout with what appeared to be a light machine gun. ”

"It's just these rotten garlic! Why don't we take it while it's dark, and look at it in the dark! ”

"It's not easy to do, look at it!"

Hearing this, the big pillar put his hat crooked on his head. He took his glasses and looked at them carefully for a while.

"Damn, these grandsons actually dug such a deep ditch, and there is standing water in it. I don't think this trench is shallow, at least more than two meters deep. ”

"Well, although this turret has not been completed, the trench outside is not good. I estimate that the villagers who built the fort before dark should go home, and for the sake of safety, the puppet army on the wooden bridge above the trench should have been demolished. If we want to rush through, we have to find something to cross the trench, and we have to build a bridge ....... ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun stared at the turret below the mountain, thinking hard about how to deal with it.

Putting down his glasses, the big pillar suddenly pointed a little anxiously to the bottom of the mountain.

"Captain, look, isn't that the joint location we agreed upon? The archway is less than a mile away from the turret! ”

"I've seen it a long time ago."

Actually, Zhao Shixun didn't care that there was a turret here, anyway, as long as this turret couldn't be seen far at night, the Japanese puppet army inside wouldn't come out. When the time comes, it will be fine to stay away. But I don't know if it's Lao Wu's immediacy of their information is a little poor, they actually chose the archway in the south of the village as the joint location.

Although there is no problem with the memorial arch, the Japanese puppet army actually built a temporary turret a few hundred meters north of the memorial arch.

According to the agreement, Lao Wu and the others should arrive here at about ten o'clock tomorrow morning. If it's night, it's fine, at least the puppet soldiers can't see anything a few hundred meters away. But if it is daytime, the joint location is on the road south of the village, and it can be seen from a radius of several miles, not to mention that the puppet army has a watchtower.

At that time, once it is found that someone is trying to enter the mountain, the puppet army in the stronghold will have to step forward to stop it, if there is a conflict, this generation will not be able to be hit by the puppet army machine gun as a target!

Therefore, I must get rid of this stronghold before dawn!

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun squinted his eyes and looked at the village, and then at the trench of the stronghold.

Pregnant!

……

Four hours later, guided by the moonlight, Zhao Shixun ran down the mountain with a big pillar and two militiamen, and went straight to Wenxiao Village, which was not far away.

After descending the mountain, along the road outside the village, the four black shadows carefully bypassed the stronghold and touched towards the courtyard of an abandoned resident's house.

In the darkness, the village was already peaceful, except for the occasional dog barking. The farmer of the Northland had gone to bed early after a busy day's work.

For these villagers, once the sun goes down, the first thing they do is go to bed early after eating. As for the nightlife and the like, the villagers can't eat enough, so how can there be extra oil to light the lamps.

After quietly coming to the courtyard wall of this house, Zhao Shixun glanced around, waved his hand and motioned for the two militiamen to go to the surrounding alleys to sentry.

As soon as you notice someone approaching, immediately learn the cuckoo call to remind yourself and the big pillar.

After seeing the two disappear into the darkness, Zhao Shixun and Da Zhuzi ignored it, quickly pulled out a sharp bayonet from their waists, and began to use the bayonet to tear down the door of this house one by one.

That's right, it's to tear down the gates.

After careful observation by Zhao Shixun before dark, Zhao Shixun found that the trench outside the stronghold outside Wenxiao Village was excavated very hastily, at most more than two meters wide.

In the middle of the night, after the puppet army fell asleep, they unexpectedly broke through the barrier of the trench and rushed in, and they would definitely be able to annihilate this group of puppet troops.

After making up his mind, Zhao Shixun took three people down the mountain after dark and went straight to this abandoned courtyard to tear down the door!

Creaking and ......crunching, in the night, bursts of strange sounds floated everywhere, for fear of waking up the villagers, Zhao Shixun and Dazhu did not dare to move too much, so they could only tear down the door little by little.

With the sound of squeaking, the dogs in the village barked intermittently. Whenever the dog barked loudly, the two had to stop what they were doing.

That's it, more than half an hour later. The two finally removed the two door panels without any danger.

After a few whistles, the militia who had been guarding called back, and the four of them quickly disappeared into the thick night with two door panels.

By the faint moonlight, the four of them returned to the mountain sweating profusely. The two door panels are made of fine thick wood, and the weight is really not light, and the tired Zhao Shixun and the four of them are almost out of breath.

As soon as he put down the door panel in his hand, Zhao Shixun didn't care about wiping his sweat, and hurriedly shouted at Xizi:

"Kiko! Come ......, it's up to you. Ten thousand ties are strong! ”

"Don't worry, captain, my family is a third-generation carpenter, you can see it."

As she spoke, Kiko had already asked the militia beside her to lift the door panels, picked up a few improvised bark ropes and short and thick branches and began to connect the two door panels.

Looking at Xizi who was busy working on the ground, Zhao Shixun wiped his sweat and secretly said that this kid really had a few brushes. In just a few hours, this kid actually braided several finger-thick ropes out of tree bark! It looks very sturdy.

In the faint light, I saw that Xizi quickly aligned the two door panels up and down, and then wrapped them around a few times with bark ropes, put the trimmed thick branches in the middle, and then used a special way to fix the thick branches tightly on the door panels .......

……

At one o'clock in the morning, as the moon was getting higher and higher, more than two dozen black shadows carried a long door panel and quickly touched the stronghold outside Wenxiao Village.

After walking down the mountain, everyone passed under the tall archway of chastity in turn. Looking at the chastity archway built with white marble, Zhao Shixun paused for a moment, and then a strong thought came to his heart.

She lost her father at a young age, and her mother became a widow in her early twenties. Once upon a time, I was proud of the chaste archway that my mother had received from the township for fifteen years of his father's festival.

However, more than ten years have passed, and after experiencing too many people's feelings, I will see this chastity archway. Zhao Shixun suddenly felt extremely depressed ...... in his heart.

Forcing himself to turn around, Zhao Shixun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there were no more distractions in his sharp gaze.

……

"Get down and wait for my orders!"

When there were still thirty meters away from the trench, Zhao Shixun decisively ordered everyone to lie down. It's dark now, but people with good eyes have a field of vision of about 50 meters. In order to reduce the chance of being discovered, Zhao Shixun had to let everyone hide in the distance first, and he and the big pillar went to the trench to erect the door panel first.

…… To be continued, ask for collections, ask for recommendations.
