Chapter XXIII
Smelling the heavy smell of blood on the dagger on his face, and looking at the sentry who was dragged in like a dead dog, and who was already dead and couldn't die anymore, this guy was immediately scared and peed his pants. Looking at Li Ziyuan, who had a fierce face, this guy said tremblingly: "Sir, there are a total of four pillboxes east of Pingchuan, and a total of one team is stationed. ”
"Our bunker is equipped with a machine gun because it is on the side. Among the remaining bunkers, because the one near Pingchuan Town had a patrol to answer them, only three people were dispatched, and each of the remaining bunkers sent a squad. But the machine gun is with us, and the one closest to the edge of town has it. ”
"The rest, except for a flower trap in each bunker, are rifles. Our squad leader is also in the bunker on the side. Sir, you have spared a few of us brothers, I know everything. I still have a wife and children at home, and this is also for the sake of eating. I really didn't do anything evil. ”
Regarding this guy's cleanliness, Li Ziyuan smiled and said, "What about the others, let me ask you which one of your bunkers has explosives in it?" Or is there explosives in Pingchuan Town? And your deployment in the entire Pingchuan Town, I will also explain it. ”
Hearing that Li Ziyuan asked for explosives, the puppet army squad leader was frightened: "Sir, there is really no such thing." The Japanese were afraid that we would make trouble in the dark, and the explosives were all in their hands. When the railway was built last year, it was sent by trucks from Hubei every day. Only three days at a time, not more than a day. ”
"And the situation in Pingchuan Town, I really don't know. Captain Wang's order was not to inquire about the situation of other defense areas except for their respective defense areas. We, the people in charge of the periphery, are not allowed to inquire about the situation of the fortifications in the town, and the violators are at least thirty military sticks. ”
"Not to mention the town, I don't even know about the arming of the hills to the east of the town. If you decide which defense zone is which defense zone, you can only stay in that defense zone. Meals are brought from the town every day, and you are not allowed to go back to eat. As for when to change the guard, that is Captain Wang's business, and we are not allowed to ask or inquire. ”
After this guy finished speaking, he was stared at by Li Ziyuan's cold eyes in front of him as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the puppet army squad leader said in an almost crying tone: "Sir, I really didn't lie to you." I've told you everything I know, and I really don't know the rest. ”
"We at the stronghold on the railroad line can only sleep in a house outside the east side of the town after the changing of the guard. In the town, there is no order not to take half a step. The defense of the town was in charge of the Japanese and the 1st Squadron, and except for the officials, the rest of us were not allowed to enter the town casually. Our brothers were recruited from the west of Hubei, and they did not recruit the locals of Pingchuan. ”
This squad leader's words, Li Ziyuan's brows tightened more and more. After knocking this guy unconscious with the butt of a gun, Li Ziyuan felt that he had to go to the bunker where the squad leader was to take a look. Maybe that guy knows more, at least more than the puppet army here.
Just when Li Ziyuan decided to go to the bunker where the squad leader was, the brother who was guarding outside whispered on the shooting hole: "Captain, there are two people from the bunker in the south, and they are walking this way." What to do, to fight or not to fight? ”
Hearing that something was going on outside, Li Ziyuan, who immediately had an idea, asked that brother to come in immediately. He motioned for Liu Lianming and himself to stand on both sides of the bunker entrance and exit, and when the two came in with a big grin, the two guns were directly on the waists of the two.
Seeing the two who came in, a second lieutenant squad leader and a sergeant squad leader, Li Ziyuan smiled. I was dozing off, and the pillow came to the door by itself. What else is there to say about this, just disarm and tie it up. Compared with the squad leader, this squad leader is definitely a piece of fat in Li Ziyuan's eyes.
It's just that this guy's eyes are rolling, and at first glance it looks like hob meat. During the interrogation process, he did not talk about the point. Li Ziyuan was not polite to this kind of person, he directly dragged one finger of his hand and broke one of his fingers with a click.
Li Ziyuan said coldly to this guy with a sore nose and tears: "I'm not a three-year-old child, you can be deceived with a few words." You're pulling things around with me, and I'm going to break off all your ten fingers for you. Let's see if your means of deception are high, or Lao Tzu's hands are ruthless. ”
After speaking, Li Ziyuan grabbed his other finger and broke it directly without any politeness. This time this guy is much more honest, and he can say whatever he wants. Li Ziyuan asked something, and he definitely answered it. It's just that he doesn't know about Li Ziyuan's inquiry about explosives, but he knows more about the arming situation in the town than the squad leader.
This guy didn't dare to pull around, and Li Ziyuan got what he wanted. But the few soldiers behind him were all taken aback when they saw Li Ziyuan break the two fingers of the puppet army squad leader without the slightest hesitation. They didn't expect that Li Ziyuan's shot would be so clean and fierce.
Several warriors glanced at each other, their necks shrinking slightly. Looking at Li Ziyuan's eyes, the original admiration quickly turned into awe. Liu Lianming, who was next to Li Ziyuan, after seeing Li Ziyuan's approach. I wanted to say something, but in the end I swallowed the saliva in my mouth and still didn't say anything. But looking at Li Ziyuan's eyes, his taste changed slightly.
I don't know my own warrior yet, and after Li Ziyuan, who has mixed feelings in his heart at this time, finished the interrogation, he escorted this guy to disarm the puppet army in the bunker where he was located. Looking at the swarthy railway line extending north under the night, Li Ziyuan had a little headache. Without explosives, how to blow up this railway line. How to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army from the eastern mountains?
In fact, it was not without other means, and three boxes of Jinzao grenades were seized in the two pillboxes. If you take out a box, it's not impossible to cause some damage. Besides, I came here this time, not to completely destroy the railway, but to make a move.
But taking out a box to blow up the railway, Li Ziyuan was somewhat distressed. The power of these Jin-made grenades is much greater than that of the self-made grenades in the base areas. In mountain warfare, these grenades are more useful than machine guns under certain conditions. The little Japanese-made grenades that my troops are now have basically been consumed.
The remaining home-made grenades are too powerful, and they can still explode if they are blown in half, which will delay things even more if they catch up with the dumb fire. At the time of the main force, Li Ziyuan was able to use captured grenades, and he would never use the base area to make it himself.
Therefore, among these trophies, Li Ziyuan is not the two Czech light machine guns, nor the two flower machines, nor the more than a dozen Czech-made rifles with complete bayonet attachments, or the two boxes of Jin-made grenades. This thing is really good in mountain warfare.
It is much easier to use than the horsetail grenades he used when he was in the Red Army, as well as the grenades made in the base areas now, and the power of the Gongzao grenades of the Central Army is about the same. Mountain warfare is basically close-quarters combat, and this thing is used well, and it is definitely not inferior to the grenadiers of the Japanese.
Just when Li Ziyuan was hesitating, Shi Jin on the side said: "Captain, you have to make up your mind quickly." Time is running out, and there is another hour, and the sky is about to dawn. After a delay, it will not be safe to cross the blockade. Captain, although I don't know how to fight, I also know the current predicament of the team. But I also know that there is a saying that is called greedy and chewy. ”
Shi Jin's last sentence was like an initiation, which made Li Ziyuan wake up suddenly. This time, without the slightest hesitation, he took out a box of grenades and distributed them to the soldiers, replacing the base area in the hands of the soldiers. A box of grenades was buried on the railway line.
After letting Shi Jin take the rest of the soldiers and retreat to the mountain with the booty, Li Ziyuan personally used this box full of grenades to connect dozens of meters with ropes in the bunker with local materials, and let Liu Lianming carefully retreat to fifty meters away. He carried two grenades with the safety cover unscrewed, and cautiously approached the puppet army bunker closest to Pingchuan Town.
Li Ziyuan knew that as long as he moved, the entire Pingchuan Town would be turned upside down. And there was a light machine gun in this pillbox, and the firing range of one of its shooting holes just suppressed its own retreat route. If you don't get rid of this bunker, even if the puppet army in it shoots blindly, it will affect your own escape. Now if a fighter is wounded, it is very bad for himself.
Taking advantage of the carelessness of the puppet army defenders in this bunker, Li Ziyuan didn't bother to come outside this bunker. After pausing for two seconds to pull the grenades, he did not hesitate to stuff the two Jinzao grenades into a shooting hole, and then immediately quickly disengaged.
And almost at the same time that his two grenades exploded, Liu Lianming over there also pulled the box of grenades buried on the railway line at the same time. The continuous explosions instantly broke the tranquility of Pingchuan Town, especially the explosion of that box of grenades, which can almost be described as earth-shattering.
Not to mention the heavily guarded town of Pingchuan, even the dead were awakened by this violent explosion. The Japanese puppet army in the town reacted quite quickly, and the sound of the explosion had not yet fallen. The searchlights on the Japanese puppet stronghold were all turned on, illuminating the entire Pingchuan Town inside and outside. The machine guns in the eastern and northern fortifications also fired continuously.
Looking at the rapid reaction of the Japanese puppet army inside and outside Pingchuan Town, Li Ziyuan, who knew that the retreat route had been completely blocked, and had no other choice but to attack. Even if the plan to retreat according to the original route was changed. With a small group of people, a quick transfer to the northeast.
Li Ziyuan's movements were very fast, and he led his troops to retreat quickly along the extension of the Baijin Railway to the mountainous area to the northeast. ran out of dozens of miles in one go, and when the sky was completely bright, Li Ziyuan asked Shi Jin to find a mountainside to rest and hit a point.
When he arrived at the resting place, Li Ziyuan looked at the weapons that were all over the place, and his heart was somewhat settled. And Liu Lianming, who was beside him, couldn't put it down while holding the Czech-made machine gun. Liu Lianming carried this machine gun all the way, but he never shouted tired.
