The Chengbei Guerrilla Brigade dispatched 10 guerrillas, and under the leadership of the detachment leader Deng Xianhe, went to Liangyou Town to support the Tanliang Guerrilla Brigade in attacking Liangyou Town. As the guerrilla detachment marched to a small hill 20 kilometres from Liangyou, it was attacked by the security regiment and pressed them to a low-lying area with a barrage of bullets.

"Squad leader, we are surrounded by enemies, what should we do?"

"Comrades! Stand out! Detachment leader Deng Xianhe led the team to rush out, but several guerrillas were shot and fell to the ground, and the guerrillas were beaten back. As the minutes tick by, casualties are mounting. Deng Xianhe thought to himself that if this continued, the guerrillas would soon be exhausted, so it was better to disperse and break through the encirclement, highlighting one and counting them as one, so that the whole army would not be wiped out. Deng Xianhe counted the number of people, and there were only six people left, and he divided the personnel into three groups, two people in each group, and broke through in different directions. After the arrangements were made, he took one of the team members, waved the shell gun in his hand, and shouted: "Comrades, rush!" "The first to jump out of the depression and pounce on the positions where the enemy fire was most intense. It's a dead end, wow! He just wanted to use his own death to attract the enemy's firepower, so as to cover other comrades to break out. The revolution always has to be sacrificed, as the leader of the detachment, he would rather die himself than let his comrades fall, this is his idea, the idea of an ordinary revolutionary. Before Deng Xianhe could rush to the front of the enemy formation, his legs were broken by the enemy's bullets, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, and the soldier who followed closely behind him was also killed by the dense bullets. On the battlefield, the deputy commander of the first battalion of the security regiment raised his gun to hit Deng Xianhe, but was stopped by Ruan Shaoxiong beside him.

"Don't kill him, Lao Tzu wants to live!" Ruan Shaoxiong shouted. The soldiers of the security regiment were armed with guns. They all rushed out of the position and rushed towards Deng Xianhe. Deng Xianhe knelt on the ground, holding his chest up, his head held high. Stretched out his right hand and lit it with the box gun in his hand, "Bah...... Bang...... Bang...... Click! "Three bullets in a row, knocking down three enemies, the pistol ran out of bullets, and with the last of his strength, he threw the empty gun at the enemy with all his might. Hit one man on the head, and immediately blood flowed, and the soldier became angry. Picking up the bayonet, he was about to stab Deng Xianhe in the heart, but was stopped by the deputy of the first battalion.

Deng Xianhe was captured, except for two members of the team who broke out of the encirclement. The other seven comrades all died. Deng Xianhe was carried under a tree by the security regiment soldiers. Ruan Shaoxiong said: "It seems that you are the head of this guerrilla army, say it!" What is your name? Which unit is it from? Deng Xianhe held his head high, looked to the side, and didn't look at him, Ruan Shaoxiong patiently asked again: "Tell me everything you know about the guerrillas, Lao Tzu promises to treat your injuries, and don't say anything more." These two legs are useless. Say it, say it! Not only to heal your wounds. Money? Belle? As long as you put forward the conditions, everything is negotiable. After waiting for a while, seeing that Deng Xianhe still didn't make a sound, Ruan Shaoxiong became impatient, waved his hand, and said, "Damn! 'Toast if you don't eat and drink', call me! "Two soldiers stepped forward, took off their belts, and beat them fiercely." Bang, bang, bang......" The sound of the belt whipping was endless, Deng Xianhe's back, shoulders, chest, and injured thighs were whipped, and the pain made beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead rise straight up, and then, rolling down to his eye sockets, and with tears, sliding down to his cheeks and chin, and dripping on the ground. Deng Xianhe still gritted his teeth, but he didn't say a word, and looked at the enemy with a contempt and ridicule. Ruan Shaoxiong stepped forward, the two soldiers stopped the belts in their hands, stood aside, panting, he squatted down, supported Deng Xianhe's chin with his hand, and asked, "Do you want to say it?" The deputy of the first battalion standing behind him said impatiently: "I'll talk about the big team leader!" These diehards of the 'Turkish Communists' have nothing to do, so they will be killed and a waste of time. Ruan Shaoxiong didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on Deng Xianhe's eyes, from Deng Xianhe's eyes, he only found perseverance and unyielding, he was disappointed, stood up, waved his hand, and walked away. The deputy of the first battalion waved his hand to the soldiers on both sides and said, "Killed!" After speaking, he took the men and horses and chased Ruan Shaoxiong.

Several soldiers pulled away, picked up their guns, took aim, and prepared to shoot. Deng Xianhe knew that this last moment had come, he struggled to pick up the tree with both hands, endured severe pain, and used all his strength to prop up his body, he did not betray the party, did not betray the guerrillas, and did not betray his comrades, he could not just kneel in front of the enemy and die, he had to stand up, he longed for the day when all the people stood up, he hoped that this day would come as soon as possible, and he would stand to meet the dawn of the revolution...... He clung to the trunk of the tree, keeping his unsupported body from falling, holding his head high, shouting, and shouting over and over again until the gunshots rang out.

Long live the Communist Party of China!

Long live the Communist Party of China!

……

After a row of gunshots, everything was calm. Deng Xianhe's soul and life melted between the green mountains and green waters, and returned to his hometown and his people.

Qin Jiawang, all the work of the guerrillas to attack Liangyou is ready. Hou Liang asked Osmanthus: "How did the masses who participated in the war mobilize?" Osmanthus replied: "The militia, peasant union activists, and progressive masses in all the villages have been mobilized and are rushing to this side as planned. When the local people heard that we were going to attack Liangyou Town, they were overjoyed and rushed to come to the front. The comrades present were even more rubbing their fists and grinding their palms, eager to try, eager to capture good friends immediately.

"Report! The captain, the comrades with reinforcements arrived. Correspondent Su Jie led two comrades from the Longbei guerrilla zone in.

"Welcome!" Hou Liang greeted him, shook hands with the two tightly, and asked, "What about the other comrades?" He asked, looking around, looking for others. The originally solemn faces of the two of them were like water bursting the embankment at this moment, and they burst into tears, crying silently. Hou Liang noticed that the two of them were covered with dirt and dust, and their clothes were a little tattered, and he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "Say it quickly!" What's wrong? Everyone's mood fell, and their expressions were solemn.

"We were ambushed by the enemy."

"What?" Hou Liang couldn't believe his ears, how could it? How did the enemy know the route of their march in a huge place? He didn't care to continue thinking about it, and hurriedly asked, "How are the others?" ”

"Many comrades have sacrificed, and the detachment leader has not broken through. I don't know. ”

"Old Yang! Send someone to the reinforcements quickly. Hou Liang said anxiously. Yang Ruping hurriedly took the team out.

"Captain, I'm afraid it's too late." Two team members wept.

After a while, Yang Ruping came back.

"How?" Hou Liang saw Yang Ruping come back so soon. Realize that asking this sentence is redundant.

"Alas! All sacrificed. When the people in the nearby village heard the news, they sent them all back, right in the grain field at the head of the village. Yang Ruping said sadly.

"The blood debt must be paid with blood, and we will definitely avenge you!" Hou Liang said loudly.

"Revenge! Avenge! Revenge ......" roared.

"Good! Let's go! Hou Liang left some ordinary people to deal with the aftermath of the sacrificed comrades, and ordered Osmanthus to stay to meet the militia and the masses who rushed in, and then resolutely led the guerrilla brigade. Head to Liangyou Town.

Liangyou Town is located in the middle section of the highway from Nanliang County to Longcheng, to the north to Nanliang County and to Longcheng to the south. To the west of Tanliang Town, the strategic location is very important. Choking this throat can cut off the communication links between Nanliang County, Beijiang County, and Longcheng, and the Leyuan guerrilla zone has cut off the connection between Xicheng County and Nanliang County. The guerrilla corps in the Hunan-Guizhou-Guizhou Border Region basically severed the contact between Nanliang County and the enemy in Beijiang County. So. This has formed a good situation in which the enemies in various counties and cities are not in contact with each other and are isolated and helpless, so that the foundation can be laid for each defeat in the future. Therefore, this attack on Liangyou Town is of great significance and imperative.

The terrain of Liangyou Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack. From south to north, Liangyou Town is located on the right side of the road, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains are dense with pines and forests. Lush and green, the whole shape is horseshoe-shaped. The horseshoe-shaped mouth is crossed by the highway and faces the direction of Tanliang Town in front of it. Across the highway and into the town, there is a large farmers' market in the middle, flanked by houses, shops, small workshops, the town government, and the self-defense force barracks. At the corner of the street, a few sandbags have been piled up, barbed wire has been pulled up, and a sentry box has been set up on the side, and soldiers with loaded guns are checking on people passing by. The sandbags at the intersection and the houses next to them have been requisitioned as fortifications, and heavy firepower such as machine guns have been erected to form a three-dimensional crossfire network, and have the ability to defend in depth.

A person carrying a burden and mending the pot hurriedly found Ruan Shaoxiong, and after whispering in his ear, he picked up the burden and left in a hurry. Nguyen Shaoxiong hurried to the room of Mo Tong, the commander of the first battalion of the town government, and informed him that according to the spies, the guerrillas would soon arrive. The two of them came to the street together, hid in a hidden place, observed the movement on the periphery, and prepared their men for battle.

Hou Liang's command post was set up on a mountain col not far from Liangyou Town. This col is the only way from Tanliang Town to Liangyou Town. On the left and right sides are mountains, and on the left side of the mountain pass, a century-old towering tree stands beside the road. Compared with the trees on the surrounding mountains, this big tree is like a giant, with the spirit of "one man is the key, ten thousand people are not open", proud of the sky, majestic earth; This big tree, with lush branches and leaves, is like a huge umbrella, humble as a valley, accommodating hundreds of rivers, exuding tenderness, always sheltering passers-by from the wind and rain, and driving away heat and coolness. In the middle of summer, people pass here, or piles and piles, or groups, drink bowls of herbal tea, play chess, play cards, chat about anecdotes, and comment on the world. But now and now the place became a place for the guerrillas to use their troops.

Along the road and down the col, you will come to a small stream. The road passes through the creek and is a stone bridge made of bluestone slabs. The creek is bent and twisted, the green bamboo and green willows beside the stream, the murmuring water by the stream, clear and quiet, passing through the bridge, the pastoral scenery on both sides, the geese and ducks playing in the waves...... But the guerrillas had no time to pay attention to the beautiful scenery in front of them, and the battle began.

The guerrillas launched a charge on the town of Liangyou. However, the 1st Battalion of the Security Regiment withstood the attack of the guerrillas with its strong fortifications, and the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, but the guerrillas did not make much progress, and both sides suffered casualties.

At night, piles of bonfires were lit in the guerrilla camp, and the vigilant troops, with their eyes vigilantly staring at Liangyou Town, the soldiers who had fought for a day were really tired, and some fell asleep with their guns back to each other; Some simply lie on the ground, the ground is used as a bed, the sky is a quilt, the gun is used as a pillow, and they sleep soundly. Captain Hou Liang didn't sleep, after he finished inspecting the camp, he sat down alone, looking at the flashing lights of Liangyou Town. Political commissar Zhao Qi and deputy captain Yang Ruping stepped forward together and sat next to Hou Liang. Yang Ruping also looked at Liangyou Town in front of him silently, while Zhao Qi looked at the starry sky and said, "Tomorrow will be a good weather, and the battle will be even more tragic!" ”

"Look, how will this battle be played tomorrow?" Hou Liang finally spoke.

"The enemy defends, we attack, and we fight hard, how else can we fight?" Yang Ruping said.

"Captain, it seems that you have something to say, tell us quickly, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" Zhao Qi asked. This question also mobilized Yang Ruping's interest, "Say it quickly, say it quickly." Yang Ruping lowered his voice and moved his butt to this side.

"You see, the enemy in this town of Liangyou is well fortified and has very strong firepower, and it is not impossible for us to fight like this, but we will have to pay a great price of casualties and time. Can we ......" Hou Liang whispered here, stopping. The heads of the two listened closer and closer. Hou Liang quietly opened his arms, gently pressed the heads of the two together, and said, "What can I do, just fight like this." ”

"Go...... Captain, at this time, can you still joke wow? Yang Ruping was puzzled.

"It's no joke, it's called revolutionary optimism." Zhao Qi laughed, "Look at the smile on the captain's face, he must be 'confident', say it quickly, don't sell it." ”

"I think so, the enemy is cowering in the fortifications, and it is good for them, can we let them attack us too?" Hou Liang said as he stared at the two of them with his eyes.

"This is a good idea, so that the enemy will lose the advantage of fortifications and will be able to annihilate the enemy's living forces. The question is how to get the enemy to attack us on their own initiative? Yang Ruping questioned.

"How would you react if you were an enemy and you felt that the guerrillas were weaker than you? Will you take this opportunity to eliminate him? ”

"Possibly or not."

"Well, we'll find a way to make him will. To do this, in fact, it is not difficult: as soon as the enemy believes that we are such people. Hide some of the reserves, and for the time being don't need so many masses to participate; Second, we want the enemy to know that we are capable of doing this. Get some shotguns and earth cannons, and then gradually weaken the firepower from strong to create the illusion that the enemy's strength is not relayed; Third, we want the enemy to see that we have suffered heavy casualties, are demoralized, and have no intention of fighting. You see, the enemy will ......" (to be continued......
