Chapter 215: The Widow's Bridge

Since the Japanese army launched the pacification operation, the southern section of the Tongpu railway has been controlled by the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Including the road from Taiyuan to Yuncheng, it has been controlled by the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army mobilized 30,000 troops and was carrying out a nine-way siege on the base area in the southeast of Shanxi, and the 20th Division, the 108th Division, the 109th Division, and the 16th Division rushed to the southeast of Shanxi from the east, west, south, and north. However, the deployment of 30,000 troops from the four divisions of the Japanese army of 100,000 did not affect their garrison of the main communication routes.

On a spring night, the wind was as soft as a lover's hand, gently caressing the faces of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were walking at night.

The procession was led by a guide, who walked on secluded roads and bypassed the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army.

When they reached the side of the road, the command was passed from the front, and everyone immediately fell on the spot, and the horses also fell on the ground.

A moment later, several headlights pierced the night sky, and it was a Japanese patrol coming.

As soon as the devil's patrol passed, the team quickly crossed the road, and under the cover of the vast night, they touched the side of the Tongpu road.

When the independent battalion attacked the stone measuring station, Mei Ying also participated. Although the troops had already begun to carry the loot when she arrived at the stone measuring station, she had been to the stone measuring station occupied by the Japanese army after all, and knew about the Japanese garrison on Zhengtai Road.

This time to the side of Tongpu Road, Mei Ying was startled, because the little devil has learned well, in order to prevent our army from attacking the railway, strengthen the garrison, just from the light on the stronghold turret, I know that the stronghold built by the Japanese army on Tongpu Road is denser than Zhengtai Road.

It can be imagined from this that the Japanese army must be overhauling their strongholds on Zhengtai Road, Pinghan Road, and Jinpu Road now, and their garrisons are more thorough.

Mei Yingden thought that Xiao Siming led the lead team to the east of Jinpu Road. Yi Xiao Siming's temperament when he saw the devil would definitely keep attacking the enemy on Jinpu Road. Xiao Siming, Xiao Siming, you have to be careful and investigate the enemy situation clearly, but don't accidentally suffer a big loss, how can you get it?

As soon as she thought of Xiao Siming, Mei Ying's mind came up with that heroic face with a little immaturity, and remembered the scene of Xiao Siming kissing and touching when she said goodbye, it seemed that Xiao Siming was in front of her, no, she was hugging her, kissing, kissing, and kneading those hated hands were exploring, rubbing, climbing, and kneading in her clothes.

For a while, the beautiful Mei Ying only felt that her face was red and her heart was beating, and her snort was a little heavy.

In front of it is Tongpu Road, which can encounter the devil's patrol at any time, and may also be discovered by the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold. Who would have thought that on this moonlit night, near Jinpu Road controlled by the Japanese army, Mei Ying, a beautiful female cadre of the Eighth Route Army, would actually think of her lover, and she thought so ashamedly!

There is a female Huaichun!

After a full hour, another order was handed down from the front, strictly prohibiting speaking, and all the horses wore halters, chewed on them, and wrapped their hooves in cotton cloth. All those who ride horses dismount and lead their horses away!

It's time to cross the road!

Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong, who followed Mei Ying, moved very neatly, and after a while, they helped Mei Ying clean up.

No one spoke, coughed, and even farted a little bit. The horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and they also did not make a sound.

After all, this is the land of the Chinese, and no matter how tightly defended the little devils, the Eighth Route Army can always find a gap to drill out!

After crossing the Tongpu Road smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the team continued to touch the Fen River.

Liangdu Village is located at the junction of Lingshi and Jiexiu, 15 kilometers away from Lingshi County.

It has been a major transportation route since ancient times. From south to north, the Republic of China used to be a post road, and now the north-south traffic artery Tongpu railway has been built; To the east and west, there is a stone bridge that I don't know when it was built, and the locals call it the "Widow's Bridge", which spans the Fen River.

If the team wants to cross the Fen River, the Widow's Bridge is the only way to pass and the most convenient way.

It is said that there was a widow in the village who worked hard to raise her son for her son to study. Later, when his son returned to visit his mother, he did not expect that as soon as he entered the village, the elders of the clan told him that his mother had an affair with a monk in a temple on the other side of the Fen River. For it was found that her mother often crossed the river to the other side, went at night, and returned the next morning. Sometimes it's wading across the river, sometimes it's by boat. Two crossings a day, almost rain or shine.

The elders meant that the widow's actions were offensive and affected her son's reputation, and asked her son to deal with it as appropriate.

After thinking about it repeatedly, the widow's son built a stone bridge over the Fen River, saying that it was to facilitate his mother's life and repay the kindness of his nurturing.

Later, when the widow died, the son came back to give his mother a grand funeral, and he was buried with his father, and he invited the monk who had an affair with his mother to recite the sutras. No one could have imagined that after the burial, as soon as the tombstone was erected, the widow's son pulled out his sword, pierced the monk's heart with a sword, and said, "Build a stone bridge to do filial piety for your mother, and kill the monk to avenge your father!" ”

Because of this story, the original village called "Backwater Bay" was called Liangdu Village, and the stone bridge was also called the Widow's Bridge!

The marching procession, which had just crossed the Tongpu Road, moved towards the widow's bridge by the Fen River to the west of Liangdu Village.

At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the night, and if you didn't cross the river immediately, the sky would be clear, and if you were discovered by the devils, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When passing by the edge of Liangdu Village, there was an enemy situation!

During the pacification operation, the Central Army's Wei Lihuang Department fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Lingshi Hanxinling, and the main force of the Jin Sui Army in western Jin once crossed the Fen River to counterattack Taiyuan, and there were fierce battles in this area. Now, the pacification campaign of the Japanese army has ended, and this area has completely become an enemy-occupied area.

Liangdu Village is located on the Tongpu railway and highway line of north-south traffic, and guards the old stone bridge of the Fenhe River for east-west traffic.

The marching procession emerged from the gorge northeast of Liangdu Village, crossed the road and railway, bypassed Liangdu Village, and crossed the river at the Widow's Bridge to the west of the village.

When we arrived at the edge of Liangdu Village, there was a strong smell of blood in the air!

The top soldier squad of combat effectiveness who was walking in front was immediately alert, stopped, and was on guard in the hidden realm on the spot, and passed the password to prepare for battle.

When the company commander, instructor, and leader of the combat company caught up with him and touched the entrance of the village to take a look, he was furious.

Judging from the clothes on the corpses, it should be a small guerrilla unit of our army that encountered the devils here and fell into an ambush by the devils.

At the widow's bridge on the river beach west of the village, under the moonlight, stood a dark crowd, and a group of little devils stood opposite the crowd, with machine guns and rifles, and bayonets shining in the moonlight.

Looking at this scene, everyone knows that this is the little devil searching for anti-Japanese cadres and guerrillas who may be hiding among the villagers.

A devil officer was standing in front of the crowd with a command knife and was talking.

To the right of the devil officer, a wolf dog is squatting, and on the left is a translator and a puppet army officer.

At this time, the marching team had two choices, one was to take advantage of the fact that they were not discovered by the Japanese army, return the same way, and choose another place to cross the river north of Liangdu Village; The second option is very simple, which is to rush up, destroy this Japanese puppet army, and cross the river over the widow's bridge.

Among the cadres are not only cadres and young intellectuals who want to go to Yan'an to study, but also a chief who has relapsed from an old disease and wants to return to Yan'an for treatment. The task of the combat company is to escort them, and they should go around the devils, and they can't fight easily.

It is a pity that the tragic situation encountered at the entrance of the village just now stimulated the leaders who led the team, and after seeing that the Japanese puppet army was only one hundred and ten people together, they decided to use the means of surprise attack to eliminate this Japanese puppet army and avenge the sacrificed comrades.

The will to fight is formed in an instant!

The leader of the team and the company commander and instructor of the combat company quietly retreated, and after a brief battle mobilization, the combat company was divided into platoons, and the Asahi puppet army touched it, and the cadres followed closely behind.

No one expected that the wolfdog of the Japanese army had such a keen sense of smell, and when the combat company was still 300 meters away from the little devil, he smelled the abnormality, turned his head, stared at the direction that the Eighth Route Army had touched, and screamed!

At this time, the Eighth Route Army's raid intent was exposed!

300 meters, which has exceeded the effective range of the Hanyang-made and Jin-made rifles in the hands of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but it is within the best range of the Japanese army's Type 38 rifles!

At this time, you can't take care of anything, and the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road!

The company commander and instructor of the combat company were all experienced Red Army cadres, and when they saw this scene, they immediately ordered machine gun fire to cover the whole company to assault the Japanese puppet army!

"Da Da Da", "Da Da Da", the crisp Czech light machine gun screamed with joy, and the bullets swept towards the Japanese puppet army.

The soldiers of the three platoons of the battle company all spread out their battle formations and rushed towards the Japanese puppet army!

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Mei Ying took Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong beside her to turn over and rush forward.

Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong are both hard guys in their hands, 38 big covers, shell guns, grenades, and the marksmanship of the two people is very good, and at the moment of life and death, they must pounce.

The speed of the war horse was fast, and in an instant, Mei Ying, Zhang Quanshun, and Chen Zhong rushed to the front and arrived with the attacking team of the combat company.

These three people all followed Xiao Siming all the way to fight, and Mei Ying even participated in the whole training in Yuxian County, knowing Xiao Siming's tactics, and the order of the targets to shoot!

The Japanese puppet army was suddenly attacked, and it was immediately chaotic, and it didn't care about the Naxi villagers, so it hurriedly turned the muzzle of the gun and fired at the Eighth Route Army, and the Type 96 light machine gun made a "clucking" sound, and in the blink of an eye, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were knocked to the ground.

Mei Ying, Zhang Quanshun, and Chen Zhong, who rushed up, jumped off their horses as soon as possible, and listened to Mei Ying's low and resolute order to Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong: "Machine gunners who fight devils, fire!" ”

At a distance of 300 meters, and at night, in this Eighth Route Army team, in addition to the machine gun that can suppress the Japanese puppet army, there may be only Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong, the two 38 big covers, who can make contributions.

Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong are worthy of being born in Orion, and they are worthy of being the old Eighth Road who fought all the way with the independent battalion and the advance brigade!

I saw two people put the 38 big cover on the lying war horse, and after a little observation, they aimed and fired, and after two crisp sounds of "horn hook" and "horn hook", the two devil machine guns that were firing frantically suddenly fell silent. (To be continued.) )
