The next day, the anti-bandit units searched everywhere for the guerrillas, but they could not find them. However, at night, the guerrillas seemed to emerge from the ground, and they were beaten like a shadow, so that they were not bothered! After two days of being pestered and harassed by the guerrillas, Liang Desheng finally couldn't sit still, is it okay to go on like this? Commodore will delay the fighter! When the time comes, Shangfeng blames it and walks around without eating! It seems that the strength of the guerrillas in front of me is not to be worried, so let the Self-Defense Forces and the militia deal with it, and I have to march to Leyuan as soon as possible. So, despite the dissuasion of Liang Qingqiu and Wei Jiade, he insisted on taking his brothers in his own camp and went all the way to Leyuan. Along the way, they were attacked and harassed by two detachments of the 2nd Squadron of the Guerrilla Army, and the troops also suffered considerable losses and were delayed a lot, which bought enough time for the guerrillas to return to the division.

Back to the Southern Route. Fu Gui, Meng Chao, Mo Tong, and Ruan Shaoxiong, with their respective teams, had quietly touched the current location of the Tanliang Guerrilla Brigade Headquarters - Mawei Village when night fell. At the head of the village, Fu Gui looked at the few lights flickering in the village in front of him, and seemed to feel a little cold and rare, so he asked Meng Chao and them: "Don't you think this village lacks popularity?" Why are there so few people who light up at night? Meng Chao smiled and said, "Less, that's right!" If there are a lot of people lighting the lamps, it means that they have rested enough, and then for us, this bone has something to gnaw. ”

"Hmmm! Captain Meng is right, which means that we have come to the right night attack this time. The 'Turkish Communists' have always been good at night raids, and they have tried and tried repeatedly, so why is it for? 'Soldiers are also good at using soldiers'. It is good at using surprise weapons and attacking them unprepared, in order to win. Tonight, we also gave the guerrillas a taste of what it was like to be attacked. Fu Gui was smug, and after showing off the art of war, he pointed to the left and right sides of the village, and said to Meng Chao and Mo Tong: "Captain Meng to the left." Battalion Commander Mo and Captain Ruan outflanked to the right, and I attacked from the middle and bombarded with artillery fire first. Then, rush into the village again. In order to make it easier to identify and not accidentally injured, after entering the village. Burn me more houses. In this way, everyone can see it. ”

After everything was arranged, the encirclement and suppression troops began to launch a fierce attack on the village. "Boom, boom, boom......" The small steel cannon began to roar, and for a while, the cannonballs rained down into Mawei Village, and the explosion was agitated, in an environment surrounded by mountains on all sides. It was very shocking, and the momentum seemed to turn the whole village upside down. Clusters of fire flickered. Tumbling, bricks and tiles and sawdust flying, walls collapsing, tiles fluttering, a moment of effort, broken walls and ruins, abound.

After the sound of ......the cannonball, the shouts of killing were everywhere, and the houses that were burned by the artillery fire, under the blazing fire, were full of soldiers in yellow uniforms, who were desperately rushing towards the village, what a spectacular scene! What a beautiful night view! This battle will be engraved on the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun. Fu Gui was moved and indignant, he shouted, brandished a pistol, and rushed to the village with the procession, firmly believing that what was waiting for him in the village were the corpses of the "Turkish Communists" and the bandit leaders who knelt on the ground with mournful faces, begging for mercy...... However, when he led his troops into the village, the village did not produce the scene he imagined, and the officers of the various companies rushed to report one after another, but found no trace of the guerrillas. After a long time of trouble, I didn't even see the shadow of a guerrilla, how is this possible? As soon as Fu Gui, Meng Chao, Mo Tong, and Ruan Shaoxiong met, their eyes widened and their eyes widened, and an ominous feeling enveloped the hearts of several people, Fu Gui waved his hand and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" Evacuate! We've been tricked! Without waiting for others to say anything, he led his team, turned around and retreated, and the other teams also panicked when they saw this, followed behind, and ran desperately out of the village. In this chaos, the troops were like a flood of Duti, and a large area of Huang Yaya swarmed outside the village.

At some point, along both sides of the village entrance, a guerrilla position with a figure of eight was formed. The eight-character formation is divided into two types: outer eight-character and inner eight-character. This external position was adopted by the guerrillas in order to destroy a large number of the enemy's vitality and to protect themselves at all times when the strength of the guerrillas was insufficient to destroy the enemy. When the enemy has not yet entered the village, the guerrillas are on guard from a distance, and when the enemy enters the village, the guerrillas shrink to the entrance of the village, and can adjust the size of the formation according to the needs of the situation; when the situation is favorable to us, the formation is gradually compressed, and when it is unfavorable to us, the formation is gradually expanded outward, and the formation disappears at the last stage, and the guerrillas retreat in their entirety. With this kind of outer figure-eight formation, the enemy has the ability to escape when it is strong. On the contrary, this internal figure-of-eight formation is to lock the enemy's retreat when we are strong and the enemy is weak, and constantly compress the enemy's living space until the enemy is completely annihilated. The biggest feature of the figure-eight formation is that it can form a dense network of firepower and cross-fire points against the enemy, and it will not injure itself by mistake and adapt to various terrains and landforms. So why don't you use parallel formations? Parallel formation, that is, the positions on both sides are parallel to the middle. This is usually used for ambush operations from top to bottom, such as ambush operations from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, shooting from the house to the ground, etc., if it is used in a plane, it will kill and injure the enemy while accidentally injuring one's own people, and it is generally not used.

What does Fu Gui mean by "middle plan"? Aren't the guerrillas resting, and how can they set up an ambush? All this was planned by the guerrillas in their anti-encirclement and suppression operations. The Tanliang Guerrilla Brigade dispatched the 4th and 5th Squadrons, with the vigorous assistance of the local militia and the masses, to carry out attack and harass tactics against the enemy on the road, consume the enemy in large quantities, exhaust the enemy, and then move to Mawei Village, rest and stand by, and prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy. Under the leadership of political commissar Zhao Qi, the 6th Squadron took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch a night attack on the enemy who had moved to Liangyou Town, destroying the enemy's advantageous weapons and important materials, making the already exhausted enemy troops even more exhausted, and losing the ability to continue fighting mentally and materially. Then, he returned to Mawei Village, pretending to be tired and needing to rest, deliberately relaxing his vigilance to lure the enemy into miscalculation. Hou Liang not only organized the masses in the surrounding villages on the col leading from Liangyou to Tanliang, and sentry day and night, but also sent reconnaissance personnel to go deep into Liangyou Town. Observe the enemy's movements, and after discovering the enemy's night attack attempt, quickly inform the brigade headquarters. Units and militia groups prepared for ambushes along the road.

Hou Liang evacuated the villagers to the mountains early, sent the fifth squadron led by deputy captain Yang Ruping, to ambush the outer line, and after dark, he lit some kerosene lamps around the village, creating the illusion that the troops were resting early, and personally led the fourth squadron and the sixth squadron led by Zhao Qiqin. Spread out the outer figure-eight array along both sides of the village entrance, and after the enemy shelled it, it began to enter the village. Then he compressed his position towards the village.

The enemy found out that he had been deceived and hurriedly withdrew from the village, and the guerrillas, who had been waiting for a while, shouted "Fight!" "Roar. Positions on both sides opened fire in unison. Suddenly. Under the light of the village's fire, dense crossfire was fired at the enemy, grenades exploded in the enemy group, and the enemy on the periphery on both sides was swept into a large yellow area. The Kuomintang soldiers scurried around like ants in a fried pot, and were hit back by the bullets and grenades of the guerrillas, and after a period of panic, Fu Gui, Meng Chao, and Mo Tong finally stabilized their troops and began to organize a counteroffensive.

"Captain Meng! You lead your men to attack to the right of Lu. Battalion Commander Mo! You take your men and horses to attack from the left, and our battalion is responsible for the middle. Weak support over there. First with artillery bombardment, then, with heavy machine gun fire, and then with a charge, the guerrillas would inevitably be unable to resist. Fu Gui said.

"Good! That's it. Meng Chao and Mo Tong nodded yes.

"Brethren of the Traffic Police Corps! Rush to the right! Meng Chao shouted.

"Brethren of the Security Corps! Follow me to the left! Mo Tong greeted his team.

For a time, small steel artillery shells poured down on the guerrilla positions on both sides, and red clouds rose from the positions, and many guerrilla fighters were blown up by the shells and fell heavily to the ground.

"Well fried! Well fried! Blow up Lao Tzu hard, and blow up all these damn hateful 'Turkish Communists' for me! Fu Gui saw the guerrillas for the first time since he suppressed the bandits, and he was bombed so badly that the whole person was as excited as if he had smoked opium, "Brothers! If you work harder, the guerrillas will be finished! Bomb me hard, after I go back, those who are promoted will be promoted, those who will be rewarded with money, and those who want women, Lao Tzu will ask Battalion Commander Mo of the security regiment to find it for you. As he shouted, the gunfire intensified.

"Captain! The enemy artillery fire is too fierce, do we retreat? Li Fengjiang, the captain of the fourth squadron, touched Hou Liang's side and pleaded. As soon as the voice fell, "Boom! A cannonball exploded not far behind them, the two hurriedly buried their heads on the ground, the soil raised by the cannonball was scattered all over the bodies of the two, the two shook off the dirt on their bodies, Hou Liang said: "Okay! Withdraw the troops some distance back. ”

"Yes!" Li Fengjiang was about to leave, "Slow! Hou Liang called Li Fengjiang: "Look! Hou Liang pointed ahead, Li Fengjiang looked in the direction of the enemy's artillery position in the distance, the enemy had stopped shelling, what was going on? Is the enemy going on the offensive?

"Comrades! The enemy is out of shells, ready to fight! Hou Liang finally understood and figured it out. Along the way, the enemy consumed a lot of artillery shells to prevent the guerrillas from attacking, and before entering the village, he thought that the night attack would be successful, and desperately fired a lot of shells into the village, in a vain attempt to blow up the guerrillas in one fell swoop. Hou Liang showed a slight smile on his face, the attack all the way finally had obvious results, the enemy was much easier to fight without the cover of artillery fire!

"What's going on? Damn it! Why didn't you blow it up if it was so well fried? Fu Gui was looking at it vigorously, but the sound of the cannon stopped sparsely.

"Report ...... Report to the battalion commander! Cannon...... Cannon...... All the shells are gone! "The artillery company commander came panting and came to report.

"What? What did you say? You bastard! How did all the shells run out? I can't tell you clearly, Lao Tzu killed you! Fu Gui was so angry that he pulled the officer to him and said viciously that he knew the importance of the cannonball at this time.

"Battalion...... Battalion commander, you can't blame me for this! Along the way, I carried out all your orders, bombing here, blowing up there, and blowing up so many just now, how can there be shells? The artillery company commander said both aggrieved and afraid.

"Alas!" Fu Gui sighed and threw the artillery company commander to the ground, "Get out!" Get out of here! Without shells, what's the use of your artillery? Take guns for Lao Tzu and attack ...... Attack the positions of the guerrillas! Fu Gui said and kicked the artillery company commander's buttocks. The artillery company commander said "yes" a few times, and ran away with a rolling belt.

"Brethren! Rush me! Fu Gui shouted. Tick Tick Tick Tick ......" The charge horn sounded, and Meng Chao and Mo Tong commanded the troops to rush to the positions on the left and right. (To be continued......)
