Chapter Fifty-Nine: The First Battle of the Liberation Army in Jiangyuan

[Hope for the collection, thank you!] 】

For more than ten days, Yu Chengchan and the others have been carefully touching the situation, for fear of missing a certain detail, and trying to be foolproof. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Not long after dark, Lin Fushun came to Yu Chengchan's residence again, saying that the commander-in-chief personally led the people to arrive and told them to go outside the city to discuss matters.

The three of them dressed neatly, followed Lin Fushun to a crop field five or six miles away from the city, and met with the commander-in-chief, the naval commander, and the commander Xiao.

"So, according to the letter from the commander, I want to arrange it this way. The battalion commander Yinping led her battalion to snatch the military horses, and I will send you ten more people, and after they succeeded, they will connect the horses together and lead them to the back of the post on the side of the road into the city. I estimated that the post was only three and a half miles away from here, and then laid an ambush on the hill, and after sparing our brothers, I was ready to block the enemy who came to chase after me. Commander Xiao and Deputy Commander Hua went to the devil's granary and brought all your men and horses. This is the main thing we have to take, and I will also take Battalion Commander Jiang there, and I can only succeed and not fail. Commander Yu and Deputy Commander Zhang took your people to rob the arsenal and block the garrison that came out of the battalion to help, if it can succeed, it will succeed, and if it can't succeed, it will withdraw after seeing that this side succeeds, the key is to stop the garrison. The Admiral's task is relatively heavy, between the little devil's barracks and the grain depot, you have to set up two lines of defense, and after the commander has arranged his task, he will lead you to inspect the terrain and see where the defense line is appropriate. We must stop the devils who come to reinforce us, and we must not withdraw if we have no hands here, and we will withdraw again when I inform you, and we will meet after we reach the post. After the army commander withdrew, he also led people to the post to gather, and we will make arrangements according to the situation. Let's see what everyone thinks. "The commander-in-chief made arrangements.

"Resolutely carry out the order!" The crowd answered.

"We are sure that this battle will be successful, the devil is not well prepared, and we will take a multi-pronged approach to disperse his forces. This is the first battle of the establishment of our Manchurian Liberation Army, and we must show our prestige and morale, and after we go back, we will explain it clearly to our brothers, explain the truth thoroughly, and let the brothers raise their spirits. Let's start in the middle of the night, solve the battle within an hour, the military horse farm will start first, and the war will start over there, and our grain depot and arsenal will start at the same time. Let's go back and prepare! "The commander-in-chief ordered.

Yu Chenglong came to his team, met with Deputy Commander Zhang, and informed the commander-in-chief of the order. Yu Chenglong said: "I will go to the city in a while and send two brothers to follow me." Deputy Commander Zhang, you saw that the Admiral and they had moved to the city, and you followed them, went to the east gate of the city to hide, and waited for me there. The commander-in-chief asked us to boost the morale of our brothers and explain the importance of our operation, and the first battle can only be won. You would say, go and talk to your brothers, let everyone eat everything they have brought, and move in the middle of the night. This is for you and the battalion commanders, three chickens, and three for me to give to the commander-in-chief, the naval commander and the commander Xiao, they are all eaten, and we will see you at the east gate. ”

Yu Chenglong and the naval captain each took two brothers into the city and came to the big car shop in the east of the city, and Yu Chenglong asked the two brothers he brought to wait for him here. Then he led the captain and them to the west of the city, and saw the devil's barracks in the distance. Coming to the nearest few houses to the devil's barracks, Yu Chengchan said: "Let's not go forward, don't let the devils find out, this road is the only way for the devils to go out, I suggest that you ambush in these houses, block the devils, bring more grenades, the devils may have cars, they can't stand it here, and then retreat to the second line of defense." ”

The Admiral examined the terrain carefully for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." Set up the first line of defense here, and give the devil a dismount first. ”

A few people left, and walked not far from the grain depot, Yu Chengchan pointed to the distance with his hand, and said to the admiral: "See?" That's the devil's granary. This road under our feet is the road leading to the grain depot, and there is a beam at the intersection of this road, and the battalion commander Yinping suggests that you fortify on this beam, one can block the devils who come to reinforce left and right, and the other can cover the retreat of Commander Xiao. ”

"The commander-in-chief has already told me, and you are very detailed in your letter, so I will take a look at it on the spot. Let's go, let's go to the beam and have a look, and you can go about your business and don't bother. After the admiral finished speaking, he said goodbye to Yu Chengchan and led people to inspect the terrain.

Yu Chenglong came to the big car shop, found the two brothers, looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and led the two into the big car shop. The guy came out to greet him, and Yu Chengchan said that he wanted to see the shopkeeper and had an important interview.

The guy called the shopkeeper Fu over, and when he saw that it was Yu Jackie Chan looking for him, he greeted him with a smile and led the three of them to a single room.

"The carriage I put here is going to be used tonight. It's two guys I've hired, and there's a shipment that has to leave tonight, so I'm bothering you so late. First get me two guys something to eat, feed the horses, and then have to set up a cart and go away after eating. This is the money for food and grass, you take it first. Yu Chenglong said and handed over the money.

"When the eldest brother saw the outside, didn't he say that he would keep the account first, and then calculate it when the money was not enough? Wait a minute, I'll arrange it. "The shopkeeper confiscated the money and went out to make arrangements.

The guy brought the food, the two brothers ate, and Yu Jackie Chan and the shopkeeper Fu chatted.

"The shopkeeper Fu is really enough for the situation, such a big piece, it is worthy of an old store." Yu Jackie Chan said.

"My brother has already said that the business is not good now, just maintain it, maybe it will fall one day." Shopkeeper Fu sighed and said.

"How can it, the shopkeeper Fu is so shrewd, he will definitely make a fortune." Yu Jackie Chan complimented.

"Borrow my brother's auspicious words, and take care of it more in the future, and we will all get rich." Shopkeeper Fu smiled.

"Do you have a phone here? It's easy to do business. Yu Chenglong asked.

"You really asked, just a few days after it was installed, the Japanese let it be installed, it was useless, and it cost a lot of money." Shopkeeper Fu smiled bitterly: "You want to use me to lead you to fight." ”

"I don't need to, just ask. Do you have pen and paper? I write a letter. Yu Chenglong said.

The shopkeeper Fu asked someone to send paper and pencils, and Yu Jackie Chan wrote a letter on the table. The letter was written, sealed, and the two brothers finished eating, and several people came to the courtyard to see how the horses were being fed.

"Feed me a little more, I'm not too full. I'll go with him to do some errands first, and you will get into the car here and wait for me outside. Yu Chenglong said to another brother, and then turned back to the shopkeeper and said: "You go back to the house and rest, I'll contact the owner of the goods, just let my guy feed the horses here first, and we'll leave in half an hour, thank you, goodbye!" ”

The shopkeeper Fu sent it to the door, said goodbye to Yu Jackie Chan, and went back to the house to sleep. Yu Chenglong led a brother to the south of the city again, and stopped in front of the guard team, so that the accompanying brothers could remember the direction and the path when they came, and then returned the same way, went to the big car shop to meet another brother, and drove the carriage to the east gate of the city.

Outside the east gate of the city, and connected with Deputy Commander Zhang, Yu Chenglong asked: "Have the brothers all arrived?" ”

"A hundred brothers are here, not a lot of one."

"You take fifty brothers to stop the garrison, and let the brother who just entered the city with me lead the way. Remember, give them a hard beating when they show their heads, let them taste some bitterness, and then pull back as they go, just grind hard with them and hold them back. Before the war, he sent this letter to Director Zhang of the police station, and he lived in the garrison. After hearing the explosion of the ammunition depot, immediately retreat from the original route to defend here, and do not take the initiative to attack. ”

"Carry out the commander's order!. I went first. "Deputy Commander Zhang led people into the city. Yu Chenglong led another group of people along the city wall to find the ammunition depot close to the devil. There was still more than a mile away from the target, and Yu Chenglong ordered the carriage to turn east, walked to the edge of the crop field facing the devil's ammunition depot, and stopped, waiting there. Thirty people were ordered to go around to the front of the ammunition depot, and when they heard the gunshots on the side of the military horse farm, they immediately extinguished the searchlights in the ammunition depot and launched a feint attack on the gate of the ammunition depot. Hearing the explosion of the ammunition depot, he immediately withdrew the way he came. After giving the order, he led twenty men towards the back wall of the ammunition depot.

Dodging the devil's searchlight, Yu Chengchan led people to the back wall of the ammunition depot, he ordered in a low voice: "After a while, the gunshots will go out, the four of you will climb up the wall with me, I will go up first, and the four of you will climb up and quickly go to both sides of the house in pairs along the roof, and block the devils on both sides of the steps at the head of the house. The rest of the people should quickly dig holes in the wall with drills and pickaxes after the guns are fired, and dig in the place I designate, at a fast speed, and when it is not easy to dig, use two grenades tied together to explode, and strive to break the wall as quickly as possible! ”

The crowd listened to orders. Then they all lay on the ground, motionless, waiting for the order to act.

In less than half an hour, there was a sound of gunfire in the distance from the military horse farm, which was not very dense, but it was very real in the dark night. It was also at this time that the gunfire in front of the ammunition depot also rang out, the searchlights were extinguished, and then a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the two sides fired at each other.

Yu Jackie Chan jumped up and whispered: "Hurry up!" Then he put the hook of the eagle's claw on the wall, flew up and jumped up, and saw that the two devils were running from one side to the house, and he couldn't help but say that the two shots killed the devils, and then threw down the rope and let the people behind climb up. When the four brothers climbed up the wall, there were devils coming up from one side, several people shot together, suppressed the devils, Yu Jackie Chan let two people run down to both ends of the house, at this time the gunshots have hit the roof, Yu Jackie Chan lay on the house, saw that the two groups of people had gone down to the house, and jumped out of the wall from the roof. I saw that the brothers were struggling to plane the wall, but the progress was not fast.

Yu Chenglong stopped when he heard the gunshots fired in the courtyard, and ordered the four to climb over the wall to support the four who went up first. Urging others to step up the planing of the wall, when it was almost dug, he asked people to tie two grenades together and stuff them into the hole in the wall, others dodged, one person went to pull the rope, and quickly ran away, an explosion sounded, everyone stepped forward, saw that a small hole was blown up, and ordered people to dig it quickly, and when they could get into people, Yu Chengchan drilled into it first.

I saw that in this room, scattered and boxes were guns, all kinds of models, very miscellaneous. He ordered those who came in later to cut the walls on both sides of the house with pickaxes, and ordered the rest to carry their guns of the usual type to the wagons waiting on the edge of the ground.

After the walls on both sides of the house were removed, a lot of guns were shipped out of the house. Yu Chenglong saw that one room was loaded with ammunition and the other room was loaded with explosives, so he ordered people to carry ammunition in a centralized manner.

After about an hour, the cart was almost full, and he ordered a few more boxes of explosives to be loaded, and let the wagon withdraw first. He arranged for four people to take out two boxes of explosives and two boxes of grenades to carry, and then ordered one person to go to the courtyard to tell the people in the courtyard to withdraw, and ordered the two to use a fuse to detonate the devil's explosives storehouse. He led a dozen men to retreat the way they came. At this time, the whole county had already heard gunfire, one after another.

Evacuated about a mile, Yu Chenglong ordered the brothers who withdrew with him to quickly carry explosives and grenades to reinforce the grain depot, if the grain depot has been successful, go to reinforce the naval commander, and then withdraw with them, he stayed alone and waited for the brothers who had not yet withdrawn.

After a while, I saw several dark shadows running towards me, and immediately, there was an explosion at the ammunition depot, and the flames were deafening to the sky.

Seven brothers ran back to him, two of them were wounded, and one of the brothers who rushed into the courtyard reported that three brothers had been killed, and Yu Chenglong and the brothers bent down to pay their respects to the dead brothers.

After a while, the brothers who had gone to the front to make a feint also withdrew, and three were wounded, one of whom was seriously wounded, and was brought back. Yu Chenglong ordered people to carry the seriously injured brother down, and then led the people to retreat to the east gate of the city.

When he came to the east gate of the city, he heard that the gunfire in the city was still very intense, but there was no gunfire in the direction of the grain depot, and Yu Chenglong knew that the commander-in-chief had succeeded. After waiting a little longer, Deputy Commander Zhang and the others also withdrew, and reported to him that one brother had been killed and seven or eight wounded.

"There are so many of them, and if they hadn't done their best, our casualties would have been even greater. Now what? Deputy Commander Zhang asked.

With a fierce grenade explosion, the gunfire in the city gradually thinned out.

"You take the brothers to withdraw first, and I will lead the people to break off, and then gather at the designated place, and move quickly!" Yu Jackie Chan ordered.

There were no pursuers at all, and Yu Chenglong and the others withdrew to the designated place in less than half an hour, and Yinping and his people were already ambushed there. After a while, the commander-in-chief, Commander Xiao, and Deputy Commander Hua also arrived. The commander-in-chief ordered Commander Xiao's men to withdraw first with five grain carts and one weapon cart, leaving a hundred horses for the brothers who arrived later to ride. Deputy Commander Hua stayed, and together with Yinping, he built a liaison station here first.

Commander Xiao was ordered to withdraw first. The commander-in-chief also ordered Yu Chenglong to take 20 people to the post to snipe the pursuing enemy with the battalion commander Yinping, and the remaining brothers were led by him and Deputy Commander Zhang to Qingyanggang, which was thirty miles away, to fortify. Tell the Admiral that when you get here, go after him immediately. Don't wait until dawn to stop you, but withdraw when the time is almost right, and try to catch up with us as quickly as possible.

After the commander-in-chief and the others left, Yu Chenglong and Deputy Commander Hua came to the post to meet Yinping. After a while, the Admiral and they also withdrew. Yu Chenglong conveyed the commander-in-chief's order, and the admiral agreed, and led the troops away, and it seemed that they suffered a lot of casualties.

About half an hour later, there was a car on the road ahead, with its lights on. Yu Chengchan asked everyone to get ready and distributed a box of grenades to the brothers. When the car drove to the intersection of Gangxia, Yu Chengchan shouted, 'Hit! Then he threw the grenade in his hand at the devil's car, and for a while the gunfire was loud, and the devil and the garrison who came to chase were stunned.

When the enemy had recovered his strength, another all-out attack was organized. The devil's combat effectiveness is still very strong, and he rushes up desperately, Yu Jackie Chan and Yinping command snipers on both sides, and the battle is extremely fierce. Seeing that the enemy was about to rush up, Yinping grabbed the machine gun, stood up and fired at the devils and the garrison, and immediately suppressed the enemy's firepower. But at this moment, the enemy's bullet came, and Yinping was hit with an 'ah'. Yu Chenglong ordered people to throw all the grenades in their hands at the enemy, and also stood up and swept at the enemy with a machine gun.

The devil was repulsed and hid behind the car, and the gunfire slowly stopped. After a while, the devil and the garrison suddenly turned the head of the car, carried the killed and wounded, and withdrew to the city.

Yu Chenglong quickly ran to the opposite post and saw Yinping lying in the arms of Mother Hua, dying. Yu Chenglong ran over and hugged Yinping and shouted loudly.

"Thank you! Let me live so happily these days, remember me, you have to live well, treat my mother well, marry you...... I was content. Yinping slowly opened her eyes and said weakly to Jackie Chan.

"Quick, bring two horses, I'm going to the city to heal her." Withdraw at once and go after the commander-in-chief. Yu Chenglong shouted, holding Yinping and running to the post.

But it was too late, and Yinping was breathing in Jackie Chan's arms. Mother Hua ran over, looked at Yinping, who had choked her breath, and said to Jackie Chan with tears: "Give her to me, I'll go to the burial, you lead the people to withdraw quickly, the commander is still waiting for you!" ”

Yu Chenglong handed Yinping's body to Mother Hua, he brushed Yinping's hair, kissed her cold face, and then left two female brothers for Mother Hua.

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and Yu Jackie Chan said goodbye to Hua's mother in pain, and then led the brothers to withdraw. Along the way, he let his wounded brothers ride on their horses, and the rest of the brothers took turns changing horses, running all the way to catch up with the commander-in-chief.

When he came to Qingyanggang, he met the commander-in-chief and reported to him about the situation of sniping the enemy. The commander-in-chief told him to withdraw first, and set up an ambush and snipe at Elm Gully when it was dark.

Yu Jackie Chan received the order and continued to run forward. On the way, they met the admiral, and the admiral asked them to replace the tired horses, put them on their horses and continue to hurry, and told Yu Chenglong to let go of the horses after arriving at the ambush location, and change horses with the team of the commander-in-chief who arrived behind. After Yu Chenglong asked his brothers to change their horses, he continued to run.

When it was dark, Yu Chenglong led people to Yushugou, he asked the two brothers to lead the horses to graze, let the four brothers go to the nearby tunzi to spend money to buy rice for cooking, and the rest of the brothers He led the ambush to defend.

It was the middle of the night before the brothers ate. After a whole day of hunger, the brothers ate deliciously. After eating, he sent someone to the village to buy some more bud rice noodles, some big cakes, and some pickles to bring with him, ready to eat tomorrow. After arranging for the horses to be herded in turn, he ordered his brothers to sleep and rest on the spot.

It was almost dawn, the commander-in-chief and Deputy Commander Zhang arrived, and the two sides changed horses. The commander-in-chief said: "You stay here until the second half of the night, if there are no pursuers, evacuate and go directly into the mountain, you want to bypass Xinglongtun and enter the mountain about five or six miles north of Tunzi, and I will send Deputy Commander Zhang to wait for you there." Be careful! Don't be in love, if the devils come, run away after a while, lead them elsewhere, and then try to get out and join us. ”

After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, he took people away. Yu Chenglong asked his brothers to build fortifications and prepare to meet the enemy. In the second half of the morning, the Admiral and the others arrived, and the two sides waved each other, and the Admiral took the people away.

Until the second half of the night, there were no devils chasing after him. Yu Chenglong ordered everyone to withdraw from their positions and retreat.

On the afternoon of the next day, Yu Chenglong met Deputy Commander Zhang, who was fortified on the road, and the two teams joined together and evacuated to the mountains.

They bypassed Xinglongtun and arrived at the designated meeting point in the evening. The brothers who were waiting here distributed some dry food to each of them, and conveyed the commander-in-chief's order, saying that the commander-in-chief and they had already entered the mountain, and asked Yu Chenglong and them to bring the rest of the food and quickly withdraw into the mountain.

Yu Chenglong ordered the brothers to carry the remaining food items onto the horse, and if they couldn't carry it, they carried it on their backs, cleaned up the traces, and led the team into the mountain overnight. On the way, except for a short time to let the horses eat some grass, they hurried away, and on the morning of the fourth day, they returned to Tianjiao Ridge smoothly.
