Chapter 16 The regular army flew high, and the Southern Route Army returned with a crushing defeat. Section IV.
"Yes!" Geng Yan found a few people from the area of Liangyou Town and whispered for a while, waved his hand, and several guerrilla fighters disappeared into the night. After a long time, the people who touched the situation came back one after another, and reported to Geng Yan the general distribution of the enemy in Liangyou Town.
"How's it going?" Zhao Qi asked.
"The enemy was too tired by the captain and deputy captain, and the comrades who touched the situation went well and came back soon." Geng Yan was very excited, happy that these comrades did not disturb the enemy and successfully completed the task, "The specific situation is that the entrance of Liangyou Town is heavily guarded by the enemy, and there are a lot of cars parked along the road on both sides of the entrance, and there are troops stationed and guarded by personnel around the cars, and important personnel and vehicles enter the town, and those mountain guns are placed around the town government. ”
"Good! The situation is very good! Zhao Qi was very satisfied.
"It's thanks to the captains! If they hadn't choked the enemy along the way, how would the enemy have slept like dead pigs? Geng Yan said with a smile.
"Hmmm! It seems that we cannot live up to the enemy's 'sweet dream' tonight, otherwise, we will not only be 'sorry' for the enemy, but also sorry for the comrades who have sacrificed their lives. Zhao Qi felt the same way, "In this way, you take some people and let the comrades who touched the situation just now lead the way, enter the position where the enemy put the mountain artillery, and blow up all the mountain artillery for me, remember!" Bring more explosives; As for me, lead the troops to attack the enemy from the front, take him by surprise, and try to destroy as many enemy cars as possible on the side of the road. As soon as you hear our side make a move, you will blow it up. Then, do not delay and get out of the battlefield as soon as possible. Evacuate in the direction of Tanliang, understand? ”
"Don't worry, commissar! I'm going to turn those mountain cannons into scrap metal! After Geng Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, took the people, took the explosives, and took the path into Liangyou Town.
Zhao Qi led the troops. Under the cover of night, he soon approached the entrance of Liangyou Town. Zhao Qi placed most of the personnel at the entrance of Liangyou Town, and the rest of the personnel scattered to the left and right. It is used to deal with the cars parked on the side of the road, and when everything is ready, everyone quietly waits for the time to come. From time to time, Zhao Qi looked at the watch with fluorescent hands in his hand, and the surroundings were so quiet that he seemed to be able to hear the "ticking" sound of the second hand of his watch. An hour passed in torment. Zhao Qi thought, Geng Yan, they should be ready.
Geng Yan and the others quietly entered the town from the path on the side of the hillside, and came to the place where the mountain cannon was placed. Geng Yan waved his hand, and the two soldiers held daggers in their hands, and slowly approached the two sentries who were dozing, covering the sentry's mouth with his left hand, and stabbing the enemy's heart with his right hand, and the two sentries did not even say a word. Then they went to Hades, and the guerrilla fighters gently dragged the sentry to a hidden place and put it away. He waved his hand to Geng Yan, Geng Yan waved his hand back, and the soldier with the explosive bag rushed forward, placed the explosive bag on the mountain artillery, and was ready to detonate it at any time. A guerrilla ran up to him and whispered: "Instructor, we found a bucket of things on the car next to us. ”
"Where? Take me to see it! Geng Yan arranged for other personnel to prepare for reinforcements and cover, so he followed the guerrilla to the car where the things were stored, climbed into the car and saw that there were five or six big iron drums on the car. No wonder I don't recognize it!
"What is this?" The partisans were very curious and asked in a whisper.
"The stuff in here is for the car to 'drink', without it, the car can't move, it's about the same as the kerosene from the kerosene lamps we usually light on."
"When you say kerosene, I know what you know, which one doesn't have a kerosene lamp?"
"Put me a dynamite bag here, too!"
"Yes! Instructor. The guerrillas hurriedly planted an explosive bag by the gasoline barrel, and Geng Yan returned to the position he had just commanded. Everything was ready, and at this time, he was anxiously waiting for the signal of attack from the commissar's side.
Zhao Qi signaled his comrades to blow up with grenades first, and then to teach the enemy a lesson with bullets.
"Hit! Hit me hard! "The shell gun in Zhao Qi's hand fired first, and the soldiers threw grenades at the enemy." ......The sound of grenade explosions pierced the silent night sky, which was particularly shocking and terrifying, as if it was going to tear the heart of a sleeping person out of his chest alive, and suddenly startled the person from his sleep, his eyes were full of fear, and his face was full of horror, they were listening to the footsteps of death, they were looking for an escape from the gates of hell...... And there are some people who can't wake up from their sleep anymore.
Zhao Qi's side was a loud gunshot, the explosion sounded, and the enemy was beaten to the point that ghosts cried wolves and howled, and they fled for their lives. Geng Yan was there a few loud bangs, and the mountain cannon instantly turned into scrap metal, especially the last loud bang, which caused a series of explosions, and several fireballs rolled and rushed into the clouds, illuminating the entire sky as if it were day, and the ground was blazing with fire, falling into a sea of fire. Geng Yan and the others had already withdrawn and left, and under the light of the fire, they embarked on the journey back to Tanliang.
"The scenery tonight is infinitely good, the guerrillas are in full swing, the red clouds are full of flags, and they are returning to Tanliang with the fruits of battle." Zhao Qi looked at the fiery and shocking scene in front of him, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, chanted a few lines of poetry, and then waved his hand to the troops, and said, "Go!" Let's withdraw! ”
In the town of Liangyou, there is chaos. Fu Gui, Meng Chao, Mo Tong, Ruan Shaoxiong and others ran out of their respective houses in embarrassment with guns and pants. "Resist me!" Fu Gui shouted, and a team of men and horses hurried towards the entrance of the town...... After a while, the sound of gunfire and explosions suddenly stopped, and the sounds of scolding, screaming, and cries for help filled the ears, and the surrounding fires gradually dimmed.
"Report ...... Report! An officer came with a gray face and panting to report, "The guerrillas are nowhere to be seen and have withdrawn." ”
"! Withdrawn, are you still panicking like this? What like the soldiers of my 686th regiment? Say it! What about troop losses? "Fu Guiqi can't get out of one place. Regardless of whether he is angry or not, anyway, in the past two days, the brothers of the first battalion of his 686th Regiment have been miserable by the guerrillas, not only do they not eat well, they can't sleep, they don't say anything, and their brothers are killed and injured a lot every day, and they are worried all the time, I don't know when Ludao will be attacked again, where is this war? Not to mention the encirclement and suppression, it is simply a life of sin and death in vain! Do you think you can not be afraid? What of the 686 regiment of the regular army? It's all human, and they're all going to die!
"Report to the battalion commander! Our 686th Regiment lost more than 10 soldiers, three mountain artillery, two cars, and the spare gasoline on the cars was also blown up. The officer said in trepidation.
"What? My mountain cannon and gasoline are gone, and so many brothers are dead? Damn it! How did you show Lao Tzu, I ...... I...... Lao Tzu killed you! Fu Gui was so angry that he took out his pistol and wanted to kill the officer, but was stopped by Ruan Shaoxiong: "I said Battalion Commander Fu!" Calm your anger! Calm your anger! This is no wonder to him, this is a consistent trick of the guerrillas, I and Battalion Commander Mo have long been taught, and they almost fell into the hands of the guerrillas. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Our security regiment has also suffered a lot of losses this time, if the guerrillas are not powerful, why do you use the two regular troops to encircle and suppress this time? Mo Tong persuaded.
"If this evil spirit is not removed, it is difficult to understand the hatred in my heart! Tomorrow morning, immediately go to Tanliang to start a decisive battle with the 'Turkish Communists'! Fu Gui said viciously.
"Battalion Commander Fu, don't do it!" It is difficult for the tired soldiers to conquer it, and at least let the brethren have a good rest. Meng Chao suggested.
"That's true! Tomorrow morning, I will let my men go to find out what is going on with the guerrillas. Ruan Shaoxiong said.
"Alright! Then rest first. ”
Several people each gave an account to their troops, cleaned up, strengthened their vigilance, and the troops continued to rest. At this time, the sky was almost dawn, and after the arrangements were made, several people went back to sleep.
Ruan Shaoxiong slept for a few hours and got up. He sent members of the special operations group to the Tanliang guerrilla station to inquire about the information and explain to them: First, he wanted to try to get in touch with the agents who were lurking inside the guerrillas. Since the last time the members of the special operations group were discovered and killed by the guerrillas when they were collecting information in Qin Jiawang, station chief Xiao suspended the contact between the special operation team and the inner line. Before leaving, the stationmaster repeatedly told himself that he should not take the initiative to contact the inner line as a last resort, and now that the war was imminent, he could not take much care of it, so he decided to send someone to find the inner line in order to grasp the core situation of the guerrillas; Second, when it is impossible to contact the inner line, it is necessary to obtain the specific deployment of the guerrillas on their own, so as to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop during the final general attack. After receiving the mission, the members of the special operation group immediately went to the station of the Tanliang guerrilla brigade to spy on intelligence.
After noon, the intelligence investigators came back and reported that they had not contacted the insiders, and that the insiders seemed to have disappeared from the sea, and that there was no news at all. As soon as they inquired, this squadron was the No. 6 squadron that had attacked us last night, and that the other guerrillas were still carrying out raids on the outside line and had not yet returned. The garrison is not very vigilant, perhaps because of the success of the sneak attack last night and the victory of the battle, the people in the garrison generally believe that the enemy has suffered a great loss of vitality and will be difficult to recover for a while and a half, and it is estimated that it will take at least a day or two of rest before attacking our Tanliang. Ruan Shaoxiong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly came to Fu Gui to report, and Fu Gui couldn't help but get excited when he told him about the situation. He originally wanted to lead his troops to attack Tanliang early in the morning, but he gave up due to the opposition of everyone. Now, now that we have intelligence, this opportunity cannot be missed. So, Fu Gui ordered people to call Meng Chao and Mo Tong to discuss the attack together. (To be continued......)
