Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Hasty First Battle
As soon as he ran out two steps, Zhou Yu, who was scared by an old drink, was so clever that he almost hit his head on the door frame.
Glancing at the old immortal who stood up, Zhou Yu smiled, holding up the weapon in his hand with a capital look of embarrassment.
"Big brother, I don't think you need this gun for the time being, lend it to our anti-Japanese brigade, and wait for us to win the battle in a few days and give you a new one, and we will never break our promise."
"Yo he...... turtle son, and the anti-Japanese brigade, you dolls who don't have any hair know what it means to fight? Also borrow a gun! Lending it to you is your life! Put it down for me! ”
Seeing that the old immortal is unwilling, Zhou Yu simply turned his heart sideways, stood on tiptoe, and planned to sneak in a raw rice to cook mature rice.
"Boy! It's useless for you to run out now, look at what is in Lao Tzu's hands! ”
Zhou Yu glanced at it when he heard this, and then lowered his head and put the weapon in his hand on the ground like a frosted eggplant.
It turned out that the old immortal had already removed the bolt of the gun and put it under the pillow, so that even if someone stole the gun, it would not be able to go off!
Shrugging his head back to the team headquarters, Zhou Yu looked at the wooden beams on the ceiling and was stunned. I shaved my head and picked up the anti-Japanese brigade hotly, but how can I fight devils if I don't have a gun? You can't use spears and knives to play with devils.
Listening to the sound of recruits training assassination in the courtyard, Zhou Yu thought about it, but he really couldn't think of any good way to get a gun, so he simply changed his hat to his face and lay on the chair and dozed.
It was almost noon, and the sun was getting hotter. Just as the Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade was about to have lunch, a half-grown boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old ran in out of breath.
Before the people entered the courtyard, Zhou Yu and the others heard the earth-shattering shouting of half of the children.
"Captain Zhou! Captain Zhou......! I'm here to bring you good news! ”
Zhou Yu, who was receiving meritorious service in his dream, was woken up by a shout, angrily ripped off the tattered military hat on his face, and rushed out of the door in a few steps.
"I said the He family boy, are you annoying, didn't you tell you that the Eighth Route Army doesn't accept children! Go out and ......, this is the anti-Japanese brigade headquarters, not a place for your children to go wild! “
Running into the yard out of breath, the He family boy sat on the grinding plate in the yard. Soaked in sweat.
"Water ......, I'm dying of thirst, give me some water......!"
After receiving the water scoop handed by a militiaman, the boy of the He family poured a sigh of relief, and then covered his chest and raised his head after a while.
"Mom...... I'm dying of thirst."
"Have you drunk enough! When I've had enough, go home and don't lie here. ”
The half-grown man put down the scoop, wiped a handful of water stains from his mouth, pouted his nose and patted his thin chest. looked at Zhou Yu with an arrogant face.
"Captain Zhou, how many times have I told you, don't call me the boy of the He family, I have a name, I am called He Kaishan."
"Got ......! I'm so busy that I don't have time to talk to you. Hurry home and eat, we don't care about eating. ”
"Captain Zhou...... Brother Zhou, I'm here to help you! ”
Seeing Zhou Yu preparing to go back to the house with an irritable face, He Kaishan hurriedly went straight to the point.
Hearing the words of the He family boy, Zhou Yu stopped, leaned on the door frame and looked at the other party with a puzzled expression.
"Do me a favor? You're a half-grown kid who hasn't grown all the hair, how can you help me? ”
"Hehe...... help you get a gun!"
Hearing the word gun, Zhou Yuteng, who was squinting and leaning on the door frame, straightened up and looked at the He family boy with an incredulous expression.
"I said He Kaishan! You're not kidding me! Guns? Do you know what these two words mean? ”
"Look at what you said, how dare I tease Captain Zhou, I still have to count on you to accept me into the anti-Japanese brigade, hehe."
"Be serious......!"
Seeing that Zhou Yu was a little angry, the boy from the He family ran over and whispered in Zhou Yu's ear.
"Captain Zhou, yesterday I went to Yanjia Village in the west of the county with my father to treat other livestock, and I heard from the people of Yanjia Village that more than a dozen puppet soldiers came to Yanjia Village, and they lived in the house of Yan Baofa, the chairman of the maintenance committee, and said that they were going to be transported to the devil's stronghold in the county after the grain was collected tomorrow morning. As soon as I heard the news, I left my father without eating and hurried back. “
"Well, that's good news."
Looking at Zhou Yu, who was stunned there, the boy from the He family gently pushed the other party's arm.
"He Kaishan...... you are very good. If I can get a gun this time, I will make an exception to accept you into the Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade! “
Patting the shoulder of the He family boy excitedly, Zhou Yu came to the courtyard in a few steps, pinched his waist and tore his throat and shouted:
"Next, I announce that all the Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade has gathered and is ready to hold a meeting!"
……
In the courtyard of the Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade, seven or eight militiamen sat around a broken wooden table. Since there were not enough stools, the remaining militia simply stood up for meetings.
Captain Zhou Yu held a shabby notebook and half a pencil in his hand, and cleared his throat with the appearance of the leader of the Eighth Route Army.
"Comrades! It has been a few days since the establishment of our Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the national war of resistance.
However, there is a prominent problem that still plagues our Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade, that is, the lack of weapons and backward equipment! “
"Just today, the He family, no! Comrade He Kaishan came from Yanjia Village to bring us an important piece of information. That is, there is a batch of grain in Yanjia Village that will be sent to Hengqu County, and the time will be noon tomorrow, and the escorted troops will be more than a dozen puppet soldiers. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu deliberately paused and pointed to the straight boy of the He family standing beside him.
"Yo he...... the He family kid, I really can't see it!"
Listening to the surprised and envious voices of the militia around him, the little nose of the He family kid almost pouted into the sky. A smug face.
"Uh-huh...... speaking of which, I'm sure everyone understands what I mean, right? We can't let go of the weapons and ammunition that have been delivered to our door! ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu looked at the expressions of everyone.
"Captain Zhou! We also want to fight the second dog, but these brothers don't have guns? You can't use a broadsword or a spear, right? ”
"yes, how can we fight if we don't have anything to do?"
Hearing someone raise an objection, Zhou Yu nodded, raised his voice and said:
"I know you don't have guns in your hands, but when our Eighth Route Army was first established, there were only a few guns! The lyrics sing well, there are no guns and no cannons, the enemy makes us made! ”
"We can't wait for the weapons and ammunition to run into our hands on their own legs, can we!? Besides, the low combat effectiveness of the puppet army is obvious to all, I believe that as long as we fight resolutely and dare to fight hard, the two dogs will be easily defeated by us! ”
Saying this, Zhou Yu gave the four soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who he brought back, stood up and raised his arms together.
"Fight devils and kill traitors! Defend the country! …… Fight devils and kill traitors, protect the family and defend the country......! ”
Listening to the majestic slogans, some timid militiamen finally forgot their fears for a while, and they all raised their arms and chanted together.
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, all the soldiers of the anti-Japanese brigade of Shenquan Village, who had hurriedly prepared, quietly left Shenquan Village with weapons and dry food under the sun, and went straight to the northwest.
And on a mountain not far from them, Zhao Shixun, who had just returned from taking a bath in the hot springs in the back mountain, was looking at the team from afar with a gun on his back at this time.
A moment later, Zhao Shixun hurriedly walked down the mountain.
……
The next day, at half past two in the afternoon.
On a dilapidated dirt road, five carts laden with grain are creaking and crushing the earth. The sturdy mules and horses were sneering from the scorching sun. More than a dozen puppet soldiers gathered around the car, walking slowly. Because the weather is too hot, many people are open arms, desperately fanning the broken military hat.
On the hill not far from the dirt road, more than a dozen militiamen in tattered clothes lay quietly in the grass halfway up the mountain. Zhou Yu clenched the Hanyang in his hand and quietly glanced at the grain cart that was getting closer and closer. When he saw that there were sixteen people on the other side, Zhou Yu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.
"Damn! Sixteen people, fifteen spears, a box cannon! ”
Seeing the firepower configuration of the puppet army under the mountain, Zhou Yu couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
Although there are eighteen of them! , but only five Hanyang made can be used, and the others are all earthen guns!
Before leaving, in order to make up for the lack of firepower, Zhou Yu asked all the soldiers to go to each house to borrow the earthen guns that used to prevent the bandits. Scraping together, I finally managed to get eight earthen guns. The rest of the people had no choice but to take the top with a big knife or spear.
However, at that time, I felt that the firepower was enough, but when it was time to fight, I found that my firepower was still too weak!
Especially the choice of their own positions.
Zhou Yu had no combat experience, so he could only arrange the ambush position according to the battle story passed down orally by the Eighth Route Army. Originally, this ambush warfare method was really practical and there was no major problem. But the Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade placed in Zhou Yu is not good, because most of them are earthen guns, and the effective range is less than 50 meters! Hanyang built five talents, which caused extremely poor firepower at medium distances. If you want to really use the power of the earthen gun, you should at least say that the ambush position is lying in ambush 50 meters on the side of the road.
After discovering the enemy, Zhou Yu also thought of this fatal mistake, but now that the enemy has entered the line of sight of everyone, at this time, the transfer of positions is to use the puppet army as a target.
Realizing his mistake, Zhou Yu hesitated.
If you withdraw at this time, your prestige will inevitably be swept away, and for these already nervous recruits, retreating before battle will cause an incalculable blow to morale, and you may never dare to take the initiative in the future.
But don't withdraw! On the hard head, Zhou Yu was worried about what if there was an accident and he couldn't win?
As time passed, seeing that the puppet army had entered the ambush circle, listening to the heavy wheezing sound of the militia around him, two thoughts were entangled in Zhou Yu's mind, making Zhou Yu only feel that his head was about to explode.
Bang......!
Just as Zhou Yu was thinking about what to do, there was a sudden muffled sound of a earth gun firing from his side!
In Zhou Yu's surprised gaze, an earthen gun went off the fire ......!!
