Chapter Ninety-Nine: Re-entering Behind Enemy Lines
Although there were grenadiers, the devil's machine gun was stared at by Shen Chen, and he couldn't exert firepower, and was still pressed on the road by the guerrillas who were in a good position.
Boom, boom! Two explosions in quick succession, the mines cost the enemy more casualties.
The reason why the devil was suppressed was also due to the landmines. After a few explosions, the devil did not dare to run around and became cautious.
Shen Chen prefers this situation, he can find targets without hurry, and snipe the exposed devils one by one.
"Smack!" Shen Chen shot again, and the devil squad leader who was lying under the car just showed his head and howled a few times, and was nailed to the ground by a condescending bullet.
The devils are fighting less and less, and they also realize that they can't delay it like this anymore. Either rush over and defeat the enemy, or get out of this unfavorable place.
With his arrogant nature and stubborn spirit, the devil gathered all his forces, including a few drivers, and launched a fierce charge towards the ambush position of the guerrillas.
If it had been before, this charge would have been enough to repel the guerrillas, not to mention the fact that the guerrillas had a great numerical advantage.
But now, this charge of the devil has a bit of a death flavor.
A few puffs of smoke rose and then there was "Boom, boom, boom!" The first thing that the charging devil ushered in was the explosion of the mine.
Gravel, snow, mixed with dirt, flew up, and the few devils who rushed in front were immediately enveloped in gunsmoke.
Shen Chen quickly pulled the bolt, unloaded, loaded, and aimed again.
A devil crawled out of the smoke, and the mine didn't kill him, but he couldn't escape death.
With a snap, the bullet burst into his chest, and the devil fell to the ground, blood and bubbles gushing out of his mouth.
The guerrillas relied on their positions, and another burst of indiscriminate gunfire came over to stop the devil's charge.
"Smack!" Shen Chen aimed again, and the devil's grenadier fell down with a head full of blood.
After the loss of the army, the devil was no longer powerless to attack, but turned his head and fled.
The cars on the road became an obstacle to Shen Chen's shooting, and although the pursuit killed a devil, the remaining five or six guys escaped.
Fierce gunfire rang out in the distance, and judging from the direction, it should be the nearest Zuwang stronghold.
Because the main force was responsible for sending reinforcements, the guerrillas sent a small team to rush up to clean up the battlefield, while the rest of the personnel were on guard in place.
Ambushing the devil's convoy, this is also the first time for Shen Chen.
Although the results of the battle were not the most perfect, all the combatants, including him, received a training session and increased their actual combat experience.
The sun was in the sky, several cars were burning, and the corpses of devils were scattered all around.
Shen Chen couldn't help but glance back. For the car, he still felt that it was a pity that it burned down, but he didn't want to be too surprised.
However, the ambush dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. More importantly, the enemy will have to commit forces in order to ensure transportation.
Just like the role of landmines, the guerrillas do not always move around the road, but let the enemy know that the road is not safe, that the attack is very threatening, and that they have to guard against it.
The guerrillas also paid for casualties, and no one was invincible in the war. As the saying goes, a gun doesn't have eyes.
Withdrawing along the ridge into the mountains, the guerrillas returned to safety in the evening and made contact with the main forces.
The main force successfully held back the enemy who heard the sound of gunfire and went for reinforcements on the outskirts of Zuwang, fearing that they would repeat the mistake of being ambushed, and after the enemy's attack was frustrated, they hurriedly retreated.
Judging by the current situation, the enemy has stationed troops in Zuwang, although it has laid a nail in the base area. But after being hit hard, it already appeared that the troops were insufficient.
From the point to the line, and then to the occupation of the surface, this is the wishful thinking of the devil. But now, relying on Zuwang's intention to expand is difficult to achieve without increasing the number of troops.
And an isolated stronghold does not pose much threat to the base area, but it has to put the burden on the devils.
Because Zuwang's enemies could not get supplies from the surrounding area, mainly food supplements, and if they relied on road transportation alone, they were not only vulnerable to attack, but also had considerable logistical pressure.
"If you continue to be trapped like this, I don't think you can squeeze the enemy away without a hard attack." After winning the battle again, Lao Zhou was happy in his heart, and he seemed very confident when he talked to Zhao Tie.
Zhao Tie thought for a while and said, "Will the devil increase his troops?" Or do you want to make a big move? I think they're always trying to find a way to get out of the passive. ”
Lao Zhou said: "According to the virtue of the devil, you always have to take revenge when you suffer a loss." Do you want to toss and turn in the mining area again, so that the enemy can't draw troops? ”
Zhao Tie nodded and said: "Guerrilla warfare is to be mobile and flexible, and where you are weak, you can fight wherever you are." ”
After a pause, Zhao Tie continued: "Besides, according to the intelligence of the inside line, the enemy has organized a plainclothes detective team in the occupied area. I'm worried that after a long time, the plainclothes detective team will stabilize, which will cause a lot of difficulties for our future operations. ”
The operation in the enemy-occupied area is not once or twice, blowing up the ash bridge, destroying the locomotive, and running from a long distance. Of course, the enemy had to be on guard and take appropriate measures, and the organization of plainclothes detectives was one of them.
Don't underestimate this spy force composed of traitors, they are native to their hometowns and are familiar with the local situation.
If the Imperial Allied Army and the plainclothes detectives of this new organization can stabilize the occupied area, the Japanese devils will be able to free up their hands and feet to mobilize more troops to attack the base area, or increase the number of troops in Zuwang.
Lao Zhou also understands the dangers of coking coal, sulfur, and other materials after the occupation area is stabilized, and he still expects to obtain it from the enemy-occupied area in the future!
"Then how many people are you going to bring this time, and how to fight?" Lao Zhou touched the stubble on his chin and said, "Why don't I lead the team, I am not worse than you in terms of familiarity with the mining area." ”
Zhao Tie smiled and said, "Let's stop fighting, you will go next time." Well, I think this infiltration into the mining area, there are not many people, but it must be tough. It is necessary not only to fight, but also to carry out propaganda and boost the spirits of the people in the occupied territories. ”
Lao Zhou bowed his head lightly and said, "We must also consolidate and improve our intelligence system and sabotage the enemy's false intelligence network." Under the oppressive rule of the enemy, the activities of the inner line became more and more difficult. ”
Zhao Tie thought for a while and said, "It is not ruled out that the inner line has a tendency to waver." If we can't defeat the plainclothes detective team and toss the enemy hard, many people will lose confidence. ”
"yes!" Lao Zhou said with deep sympathy: "The local cadres in the enemy-occupied areas have already complained to the district authorities, hoping to send troops over to suppress the enemy's arrogance. Moreover, the harsher the environment, the more it tests people's firmness. I also suspect that some insiders are nervous, do not pass on information in a timely manner, and do not make efforts to gather information. ”
Zhao Tie smiled bitterly and said, "I think it is better to sneak in sooner rather than later, taking advantage of the enemy's attention in Zuwang and on the highway." ”
"Be prepared." Lao Zhou reminded: "In the enemy-occupied area, it is not comparable to the base area, and it is not easy to get what is missing. ”
Zhao Tie nodded yes, and continued to discuss with Lao Zhou for a while before finally finalizing the matter.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese devils were always looking for and trying various anti-guerrilla tactics.
For example, they carried out abduction attacks, or night raids, or pretended to retreat to lure us to slacken, and then sharply turned to attack, or even organized plainclothes teams to disguise the Eighth Route Army or guerrilla units to reconnoiter and lure, undermine the unity of the army and the people, and undermine the unity among the various departments of the Anti-Japanese Army, and so on.
And every time a new trick is used, it often causes the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to suffer certain losses, and then there will be new ways to deal with it.
Compared with the unfamiliarity of the devil's life, the difference in appearance and language, the special service team composed of traitors caused greater damage to guerrilla warfare.
Because these traitors and villains can compete with the guerrillas for the night, and even pretend to be guerrillas to knock on the doors of people's homes at night, and then carry out bloody massacres against the people who sympathize with and help the guerrillas.
It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and after suffering losses, they will become afraid of the guerrillas and will no longer help and support them.
Such tragic incidents have not happened before, and there are many such bloody lessons in other base areas.
Therefore, when they learned that the devils organized a plainclothes detective team, the local cadres in the enemy-occupied area felt a huge pressure, and Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou were also very anxious. I am afraid that it will become difficult to sneak into the mining area at night.
After reaching a consensus, Zhao Tie carefully selected from the guerrillas, organized a crack squad of more than 20 people, and carried as many weapons and ammunition as possible, and of course, mines were indispensable.
Everything was ready, and the next day, Zhao Tie led the team to set off again and advance towards the mining area.
The bright moonlight shrouded the village, and the houses stood silently in the silver veil, which looked particularly solemn. The troops bypassed the village and hurried by.
The villages in the base area looked like this in the moonlight, and the night in the enemy-occupied area looked eerie and full of murderous intentions.
Fortunately, when I first infiltrated the mining area, I fought several good battles and laid the foundation for another operation. The main thing is that with a place to settle down and food, there is no need to risk going to a village where the situation is unknown to rest and eat.
After arriving at the destination, the pillar set off overnight to find the traffic in the enemy-occupied area to establish contact, and by the way to reconnoiter the latest situation.
lived in the mine again, and that familiar feeling made Shen Chen feel very weird.
The firelight shone on Shen Chen's face, flickering and dimming, and the team members talked and laughed, which didn't seem to affect his contemplation.
Zhao Tie broke the branch in his hand and threw it into the fire, stirring up a few sparks, which caused Shen Chen to turn his head.
"I don't think you need to implement the style of play you said on the road." Zhao Tie glanced at Shen Chen and said slowly: "Since the enemy doesn't know that we have infiltrated yet, he will simply do a big deal." In the future, you will patrol and snipe and lead the enemy into an ambush circle. ”
Shen Chen is indispensable, if he can make a big move, he is also happy to see it.
"Why don't you go home and see?" Shen Chen asked casually: "I haven't seen my eldest lady for a long time, and Juanzi, I don't know how they are doing recently?" ”
Zhao Tie lowered his eyelids, not wanting to go back to see his father and mother was fake, but he also knew that hardening his heart and not going to make his father and mother safer.
As for Juanzi, Shen Chen didn't mention it, and Zhao Tie had forgotten about the thin little girl. Of course, he believes that his father and mother will be good to Juanzi and will not treat her harshly.
"I know a path to get to Liucun quietly." Shen Chen continued: "It was on the way to the market that I met the eldest lady. ”
Zhao Tie smiled and said, "If you want to say that you are bold enough, you dare to go to the market?" You don't have a gun with you, do you, what if you meet a bad guy? ”
Shen Chen pursed the corners of his mouth, and he also felt that he was quite reckless at that time, but it seemed to have been arranged in the dark.
If you don't go to the market, you can't meet Aunt Zhao; If you don't meet Aunt Zhao, you won't be able to meet Zhao Tie in the future. Maybe he's still a savage in this cave!
"There is a family selling dog meat in the market, and it tastes really good." Shen Chen diverted the topic, a smile appeared on his face, and he licked his lips gently, as if he was reminiscing.
Zhao Tie laughed out loud and said, "You rushed to the market just to eat dog meat, remember it so clearly?" ”
Shen Chen shook his head and said, "I didn't know that the dog meat on the set was delicious, I just wanted to buy some daily necessities." At that time, I was planning to stay in this cave for a long time! ”
Zhao Tie was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, it was just an intention, and fortunately, there was a change later. Now, you have so many comrades-in-arms, some people care about it, some people love it, don't you feel good? ”
Shen Chen smiled and didn't answer. But after a while, he nodded slightly.
That's right, it is the contributions of countless people, the struggle of countless people, that have changed their lives. It seems to be illusory, with some philosophical implications.
But as long as you think deeply, think deeper, you will understand. If it weren't for the struggle of countless and unknown warriors from all over the world, I would not have been able to find a relatively peaceful place for my uncle's family to live, and I would not have been able to enjoy some leisure and comfort.
The fate of the country and the fate of the nation is indeed related to itself. The big situation determines the small aspects, and the country is defeated, the land is lost, and it is ruled by the invaders, isn't it an impact?
Shen Chen had already realized that what he had done, in addition to the arrangement in the dark, had a more practical meaning.
I can fight again. How many enemies can you kill in a day? Can you stop the enemy's sweep and protect your family and friends?
No, even if you surpass the "White Death", even if you become the king of snipers in history, that's all. The role of a person, a gun, is, after all, limited.
But Shen Chen's struggle has affected the guerrillas and the team members. The development and growth of the guerrillas and the improvement of the fighting quality of the members created more and more favorable conditions for Shen Chen.
Without the cooperation and help of his comrades-in-arms, Shen Chen's achievements would never have been so huge. He can only be like a lone wolf, roaming the mountains, forests, and villages, sniping and killing the enemies he can meet.
