Fu Gui walked up to Ruan Shaoxiong and asked, "Team Leader Ruan, how is the situation?" Can the troops still go? Ruan Shaoxiong held a wooden lump in his hand, handed it to Fu Gui, and then replied: "I may not be able to walk for a while, I have to clear these things on the road." ”

"What's that?" Fu Gui took the wooden pimple and took a closer look, this thing is made of a tree trunk with a diameter of about ten centimeters, obliquely sawed into a triangle of ten to fifteen centimeters in size, and then, irregularly nailed into the two sharp nails, the iron thorn pimple made by this method is very stable, as long as the rubber wheels of the car are glued, nine times out of ten they are punctured by iron nails and burst tires. This trick is really damaging, Fu Gui hurriedly told the driver to quickly change the tire, and ordered the soldier to pick up the iron thorn pimples on the road. Ruan Shaoxiong thought that the speed was too slow, so he asked someone to cut down branches and pillars on the side of the road, make a long broom, and sweep all the way, hey! This trick worked very well, and after a while, all the iron thorns and wooden knots scattered on the road were cleared. The car is on the road again, but this time there is a "new weapon" - a long broom, which the soldier carries on his shoulders looks very dazzling and funny, and he really carries a broom to fight!

The convoy continued on its way, but at a noticeably slower pace. The machine guns mounted on the roof of the car occasionally strafe at some convenient places for ambushes, and the mortars on the car are ready to fire at any time. The convoy walked another five or six kilometers and came to a section of the road called Jiajibend, which was mostly sloping on both sides of the road, and the terrain was more complicated. Another detachment of the guerrillas, the comrades of the 5th Squadron led by Yang Ruping, were buried here, and they had long been ambushed on the side of the road. From afar, they heard the enemy discharging guns indiscriminately, and Yang Ruping and the others had prepared a second dish for the enemy, "Rolling Wood Thunder Stone", waiting for the enemy to arrive. Not for a while. Seeing the enemy coming from a distance, Yang Ruping said to everyone: "No one is allowed to move without my order, wait for the enemy to get close and then fight!" Everyone, pay attention to concealment! As the convoy drew closer, everyone held their breath and waited for their chance. The convoy came to a stop very close to the guerrillas, and the machine guns on the vehicles began to fire at the slopes on both sides, and the bullets hit the guerrilla fighters. Splashes of dirt flew onto the warriors' camouflage caps made of twigs, grass and rattans, and the warriors lay on the ground. Motionless. Seeing that there was no movement, the convoy continued to move forward, and the officers looked around with binoculars. After entering the ambush circle, Yang Ruping waved his hand. The warrior in charge of the "Rolling Wood Thunder Stone" jumped up from the ground. Rush to the piles of grass and thorns, and use a big wooden stick to pry down or top it. Suddenly, the stones and logs poured down, tumbling and smashing into the road, some of the stones and logs smashed into the front of the car, and some directly smashed into the compartment, and the people on the car were killed and injured. Crying and shouting, did not hit the rolling wood and stones of the car. Lying in the open space between cars and in the ditches on both sides of the road. That's weird! There are many officers who use binoculars to observe the surrounding terrain, but no one has found the "Rolling Wood Thunder Stone"? As a matter of fact, the guerrillas had long organized the masses to build up rolling logs and boulders in dangerous places, and then used the cut weeds and thorn canopies to disguise piles of stones and rolling logs as grass canopies and thorn canopies, so they did not attract the attention of the enemy.

Yang Ruping took advantage of the fact that the enemy was still in confusion and decisively gave the order to open fire. Suddenly, all kinds of guns opened fire, bullets were fired intensively at the enemy group, and many Kuomintang soldiers, some of whom fell on the car, some of whom overturned the car, and those who were not injured or killed, did not wait for the officer's order, hurriedly jumped out of the car, set up small steel cannons, and "bang, bang, bang......" and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment at the guerrilla position. "Boom, boom, boom......" shells continued to explode on the guerrilla positions, and the powerful impact of the explosions blew many guerrillas out of their bunkers. Yang Ruping saw that the situation was not good, and shouted urgently: "Comrades! Evacuate! Evacuate! At this time, the soldiers of the 686 regiment and the traffic police corps had also rushed to the position. Yang Ruping hurriedly went with his comrades to help the seriously wounded and wanted to retreat together, but the wounded refused.

"Deputy Captain Yang! Let's go! If you don't leave, the enemy will rush up, and we can't let us affect the entire anti-encirclement and suppression operation, so go fast and leave quickly! Deng Ande, the instructor who broke his legs by the explosion, said.

"No! I can't leave you alone, and if you want to die, you will die together! Yang Ruping waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and was about to step forward to help them.

"Don't come here! Come on again, we're going to shoot ourselves! Deng Ande and several seriously wounded comrades pointed their guns at their heads, looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer to them, and pleaded anxiously, "Please, comrades, go quickly, for the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression...... Deng Ande picked up two grenades, gritted his teeth, rolled down the mountain, and shouted: "Comrades! Farewell......" Several other wounded also rolled down the hill with their instructor and shouted: "Long live the Communist Party of China!" "Long live the Tanliang guerrillas! Immediately several explosions sounded, and Yang Ruping and other comrades went down the mountain in tears and evacuated to the rear.

Mo Tong rushed to the position with people, but did not catch a single living guerrilla, he quickly raised his binoculars and looked down the mountain, and saw that the guerrillas were rapidly withdrawing in the direction of Liangyou, and he could not catch up with them, so he said to the herald: "Hurry up and send a signal to the battalion commander Fu of the 686th regiment under the mountain!" ”

"Yes!" The herald raised a small red flag with both hands and signaled to the bottom of the mountain, and Mo Tong looked at the telescope while issuing an order: "Target, due north, 30 degrees west, 200 yards away." "The herald waved the flag to the artillery below the hill to pass the coordinates. On the road down the mountain, Fu Gui's people had already placed several mountain guns in position, and when they saw the signal coming, the artillerymen hurriedly adjusted the muzzles, "Ready-put!" The command was given, "Bang, bang, bang......" The mountain cannon roared, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the cannonballs flew into the distance in an instant.

"Boom, boom, boom......" shells exploded in the running partisans. The power of the mountain artillery was much stronger than that of the small steel cannon, and when it exploded on the ground, it turned into a big pit, and the big tree with a thick bowl mouth broke off and flew out of the distance in the sound of the explosion, and the gravel and soil were blown up all over the sky, and many guerrillas were killed and wounded. No matter how they ran, the cannonballs smashed down on their heads and faces like they had eyes. Yang Ruping hurriedly shouted: "Get down!" Get down! "It is no wonder that these guerrillas, in the past anti-encirclement and suppression operations, in addition to suffering the loss of small steel artillery, where have they tasted the power of mountain artillery!

"What's that? Hell yes. Wherever we go, the fuck will follow, and it won't go on like this! Deputy Yang! Gong Jinchu, the captain of the fifth squadron, said anxiously.

Oh, yes! How can this cannonball grow eyes? Yang Ruping lay on the ground. Pressed by the telescope on his chest, he pulled out the telescope with his hand, and his eyes stopped on the telescope and did not move, the enemy's artillery fired so accurately, it must have something to do with this thing, they saw our specific location from the telescope. Then, report to the artillerymen, who had previously suffered from the loss of small steel cannons. It's just that this time it's replaced with a mountain cannon, and the distance is even farther away, and now he understands everything. So, he hurriedly shouted to the troops: "Run to the woods next to you!" "Say it. Jumped. Braving the artillery fire, they ran into the woods, and everyone ran into the woods with them. Sure enough, it worked well! After a few indiscriminate shots from the enemy, everything returned to calm.

Yang Ruping led people to carry the sacrificed comrades back to the woods, buried them, bandaged and treated the wounded, and asked Gong Jinchu, the leader of the fifth squadron, to count the number of people. Then, take a short break in the woods. This "Rolling Wood Thunderstone" operation. Although, a large number of killed and wounded the enemy, but also suffered a lot of losses, together with the instructor Deng Ande, the troops alone sacrificed more than a dozen people, the loss can be described as not small, just now everyone was busy dodging artillery fire and retreating, there is no time to think about it, now as soon as it calms down, Yang Ruping and the comrades of the fifth squadron, at this time the mood is very sad and heavy, they have to think about what happened just now, the blood of the comrades is still hanging in front of them, lingering, and they can't pose.

"Deputy Yang! Let's kill them again and avenge the instructors! Gong Jinchu pleaded indignantly.

"Yes! Deputy Yang, you're going to let us go back and fight those shit! With tears in their eyes, the fighters clenched their guns.

"Comrades! I want to too! But comrades, what are the tasks given to us by the organization? In the process of luring the enemy into depth, gradually consume the enemy, exhaust the enemy, and finally, destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, instead of asking us to fight with the enemy in a vacuum, our guerrilla policy is that the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbed, the enemy retreats and we pursue, and the enemy is tired and we fight. If we attack the enemy now, it is tantamount to sending us to death in vain, and we will not be able to avenge the dead comrades at all, and if we die, who will complete the tasks assigned to us by the organization? If the entire operation fails due to our fault, it will not only endanger the safety of the Tanliang guerrilla brigade, but even the entire guerrilla corps will be destroyed in our hands! We do this, and even more sorry for the instructors, who rolled down the hill and perished with the enemy, for what? Just to protect us, not to drag us down, so that we can complete the tasks assigned by the organization, we are going to die now, so the instructor Their blood is not shed in vain? ”

Yang Ruping's words made everyone sweat coldly, I didn't expect that our recklessness would bring such serious consequences to the revolution!

"Then are we just going to watch the instructors die like this?" Said one of the fighters.

"Nope! Blood debts must be repaid with blood, and the blood of revolutionary martyrs will not be shed in vain! Yang Ruping said firmly, "Go!" According to the plan, we will go to the next target to strike hard at the enemy and avenge the sacrificed comrades! ”

"Let's go!" The comrades moved to the next place with fighting spirit to meet the next baptism of war.

Mo Tong led people to retreat from the mountain to the highway, and Fu Gui, Meng Chao, and Ruan Shaoxiong greeted him.

"How's the record?" Fu Gui was eager to know how the guerrillas were beaten, and along the way, the national army was only attacked, and it had not yet eliminated the guerrillas, which was simply a shame for the regular army! Therefore, he longed for a victory in the destruction of the guerrillas.

"The counterattack was a great success! The guerrillas were beaten by our artillery fire, and they suffered heavy casualties. More than 30 enemies must have been killed and 50 or 60 wounded, and this guerrilla force is finished, and I saw it with my own eyes through a telescope! "Mo Tong is exaggerating, in fact, when cleaning the battlefield, only a few corpses were found, but no matter what, this is a great gain.

"I said, Brother Mo, your credit is not small! When I go back, I will definitely give you credit in front of the peak! Fu Gui said this, thinking in his heart, it's not that the artillery of Lao Tzu's regular army is powerful, just with your local troops, I'm afraid you can't even catch a single hair of the guerrillas!

"Where, there! It's all everyone's credit, if it weren't for your excellent command as battalion commander and the powerful artillery of the 686th Regiment and the Traffic Police Corps, would you have been able to beat the guerrillas? I think the guerrillas have run away a long time ago, where can they have such a big record? ”

"So, it's all everyone's work?" Meng Chao said with a smile.

"Hahaha," several people smirked. However, they also knew that in this battle, they had lost a lot of vehicles and personnel, and they didn't know what kind of doom was waiting on the road below, but the laughter on the surface could not hide the fear in their hearts.

Along the way, the guerrillas changed their methods of attack, and the troops and the masses were divided into small units, and even carried out sneak attacks in groups of several people, shooting cold guns for cold guns, rolling logs for rolling logs, rolling stones for rolling stones, and sprinkling iron thorn pimples for sprinkling iron thorn pimples...... The enemy was panicked, and they could not catch up with each other, and they could not catch up, and they could not fight, wasting many shells and bullets in vain, and also lost a lot of personnel and vehicles. Walking and stopping all the way, I finally got to Liangyou Town, and the sky was getting dark, and the people were extremely tired. Fu Gui decided that the encirclement and suppression troops would take a short rest in Liangyou Town, and after breakfast early tomorrow morning, they would launch a general attack in the direction of Tanliang.

At night, the cold wind was blowing, the black clouds were heavy, except for the piles of bonfires lit by the Kuomintang soldiers in Liangyou Town, which were shining in the dark night, and the surroundings were pitch black. These Kuomintang soldiers had been in a hurry and frightened for a day, and they had already fallen asleep, and even the vigilant sentries were listless, supporting their bodies with guns, dozing off, no matter how much their commander told them to always prevent the guerrillas from sneaking attacks, but they did not want to listen, they were indeed too tired to listen to their eyes! The officer came out to check the sentry, and when he saw this, he reprimanded a few words, and the sentry seemed to stand up, and when the officer turned around, his eyelids drooped unconsciously, and the officer turned around at will, and he couldn't resist the fatigue, so he hurriedly went back to sleep.

In the quiet of the night, the right force quietly approached the town of Liangyou. The leader of this unit was Zhao Qi, political commissar of the Tanliang Guerrilla Brigade, and according to the plan, the night attack on Liangyou was carried out by the sixth squadron led by political commissar Zhao Qi. Before leaving, Hou Liang, the leader of the brigade, based on the experience and experience of the struggle against the enemy along the way, asked them to focus on knocking out the enemy's heavy weapons, especially the enemy's mountain artillery, which posed a great threat to us, and tried every means to knock it out. Zhao Qi whispered to Geng Yan, the instructor of the Sixth Squadron: "You send a few people to find out the situation of the enemy in the town, especially to find the specific location of the enemy's mountain artillery.
