The enemy quickened the pace of the attack, and the black pressure was getting closer and closer. Closer, closer, the enemy to the northeast was only a hundred meters away from the edge of the ditch of the joint defense team.

Zhang Xia shouted: "Fight!"

Rifles, earthen guns, grenades, and 12-kilogram earthen cannons opened fire on the enemy, knocking out dozens of them on the spot. Don't look at the grenade can be thrown dozens of meters away on flat ground, but this is condescending, and the grenade is thrown more than 100 meters even if it is thrown and rolled.

"Bang Bang Bang ......", "Bang Bang Bang ......", "Bang Bang

The enemy was very arrogant, and unexpectedly they were beaten head-on. They paused for a moment, and then pounced viciously at the joint defense team, machine gun and rifle bullets whizzing over the heads of the joint defense team, and hand grenades were constantly thrown on the edge of the ditch, only to be dusty and smoke.

Due to the poor weapons of the joint defense team, the firepower was insufficient, and it could not withstand the enemy's dense fire. After a few more rounds of artillery bombardment, and a few more shots from the pole, we retreated along the communication ditch in two directions to the south and west of the village in accordance with the predetermined battle plan, leading the enemy to our ambush circle.

The puppet soldiers didn't know that this was a ploy, and they really thought it was defeated by the joint defense team. They shouted: "Chase the dirt eight roads, the earth eight roads have been defeated!" "There is a reward for grabbing dirt!" The big girl has it......"

They followed the retreat of the joint defense team and gradually pursued to the alkali field south of Taipingzhuang.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the red sun rose, making the whole alkali field bright.

More than a thousand enemies were somewhat dumbfounded after breaking into the alkali field. This alkali field, there are more than two miles in a radius, there are alkali gangs everywhere, one here, one there, like a maze array, and those red wattle strips, a pier here, a pier there, like there are people hiding everywhere behind the red wattle strips, but when you go to the front and see, there is no one.

In fact, Han Xing was in the center of the alkali field, and his eyes were observing these puppet soldiers! Wu Xiaoming walked up to Han Xing and asked, "Section Chief Han, how to fight this battle?" ”

Han Xing said to Wu Xiaoming: "The enemies are all nested together, and there is no way to attack. Scatter the enemy and that's easy. ”

Wu Xiaoming nodded and said, "Understood," he immediately took Li Dazhong's platoon and touched the nearest alkali field to the enemy. When I touched Gao Gangzi, I saw that good guys, hundreds of puppet soldiers, just like lost puppies, looked east and west, didn't know where to attack, and were hesitating to find a target!

The distance is not too far, that is, seventy or eighty meters.

Wu Xiaoming shouted: "Fight-" Dozens of assault rifles suddenly opened fire. "Tutu Tu ......", "Da ......", "Tu Tu Tu ......", "Da ......" fierce and dense bullets were fired at these puppet soldiers.

Assault rifles are not comparable to rifles, each gun can shoot dozens of bullets at once, and these dozens of assault rifles can fire thousands of rounds in an instant. The so-called firepower is the number of bullets fired in an instant, and it has nothing to do with the number of combatants.

These puppet soldiers haven't figured out what is going on, and they were put down seventy or eighty at once, and some of the puppet soldiers have suffered several bullets on their bodies, so is there still a reason to live! When these puppet soldiers fell, the rest of the puppet soldiers were terrified, and like scattered birds, they "coaxed" and fled in all directions.

As long as the puppet army disperses, it will be easy to do.

The county brigade, the Yundong brigade, and the district squad have been lying in ambush in the alkali field for a long time, firing one shot here, one shot there, changing places with one shot, opening a sparrow battle with the enemy, and catching up and seeking. I only heard the shouts from the east, and saw smoke coming from the west, and gunshots rang out on this alkaline soil ridge, and grenades were thrown out of the red wattle on the other side.

A few enemies were brought down here, and a few traitors were captured alive over there, making the enemy dizzy and at a loss.

The most interesting thing is these children's groups, they have been playing hide and seek in this alkali field since they were children, so they have a clear understanding of where there is a alkali field mountain and where there is a pier of red wattles.

At this time, a puppet army came in stupidly, looking east, looking west, but there was no figure in sight. Suddenly, a dung fork from behind him was pressed against his waist: "Don't move, if you move again, you'll be killed!" ”

Two eleven or twelve-year-old half-grown children came up in front, holding red cherry guns and shouting loudly: "If you don't kill the gun, you will be killed!" ”

Frightened, this puppet army didn't know what kind of guy was behind, so he quickly and obediently raised his rifle. The children's regiment members in front of him immediately put away his guns.

When the puppet army looked back, it turned out to be a dung fork, and he pouted in regret, but it was too late.

When he went to the group of captives, he saw that the prisoners were only a few teenage and half-grown girls, with two or three captives.

The Women's Rescue Association is also quite outstanding, these women are all in their twenties and forty, and there are few small feet, most of them are big feet (when the Kuomintang was in the time, it also advocated putting feet for a long time). They also have everything in their hands, some are made in Hanyang, some are with single knives, and some are with hoes.

Don't underestimate these women, they are the main force of farm work, and they are quite sharp in fighting. In particular, they are very familiar with this alkali field, and often come to cut red wattle strips, either to make baskets or baskets.

A puppet army broke in in a daze, and because of the unfamiliar geography, it was also three steps forward and two steps back, thinking about it, and was afraid that it would be plotted.

But the more afraid he was of being plotted, the more he was plotted, and when he was afraid, a dirt smash came, not biased or oblique, and it was smashing on his face, and his face was full of flowers.

"Who is this, damn it, don't hit people in the face, don't expose people, don't expose people, how can you smash people in the face." This puppet army scolded, but he couldn't find anyone, so he was angry.

When he was angry, seven or eight more slammed them over, either on his body or on his face, and one of them was still fascinated by his eyes.

While the puppet soldier was rubbing his eyes, three or four women came out of nowhere, hugging their waists and dragging their arms, and snatched away his guns at once. He rubbed his eyes and looked at it, it turned out to be some women, some of them were holding wooden forks in the courtyard, some were holding knives, and there were not many weapons in the middle of the house.

The puppet army was still unconvinced, and wanted to scold, but a woman came over and kicked him, kicking him in an instant. Don't look at these women very well, but they are usually used to work, which is no different from kicking pigs.

This puppet army had no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy, begging and saying: "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, spare me, I have a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, it's really pitiful!" Spare me. ”

The women took him to a cave in alkaline earth, good fellow, and there were a dozen captives in it, and they had taken him too.

As long as the enemy was concentrated, it was hit by the fire of the platoon of Wu Xiaoming and Li Dazhong, and if the enemy dispersed, it was scattered by the militia.

Not long after, the joint defense militia of Liugao, Peiwangzhai, Weizhuang, Duzhuang and other villages in front and behind again copied the enemy's rear road from the west and north, so that the enemy fell into the predicament of being attacked on the belly and back.

The traitor leader Xie Jinluan saw that the situation was not good, this battle was already very passive, and then these dirt roads were cut off, and there was a danger of being surrounded, and the battle was really impossible to fight. He shouted, "Retreat," and first turned on his horse and ran away.

Those remnants of the defeated soldiers who survived were reluctant to fight, and when they saw that the leaders had run away, what kind of strength did they have, so they only hated their father and mother for having two legs, spread the girl, and desperately fled back.

As soon as the enemy was about to run, the joint defense team members and the fighters of the unit were desperately chasing after them.

The funniest thing is the captain of the joint defense team, Wu Laosan, he is over sixty years old, he is tall and fat, he can't run after running far, he is so tired that he can't breathe, but he still wants the young joint defense team members to carry him and continue to pursue the enemy.

Until he could no longer see the shadow of the enemy, the joint defense team put him down, and he was still crouching on the ground, panting for breath.

Zhou Maoduo, the old village chief of Taipingzhuang, came over and teased him and said: "I said Old Man Wu, what can you do, you have to be carried by two people alone." Simply, let's get you a four-lift sedan chair, you can't kill the enemy yourself, and you still have four people. ”

Wu Laosan coughed, gasping and said, "I'm only a few years older than you, why can't I go into battle if you can go into battle." ”

Zhou Maoduo laughed at him again and said: "At least I don't need to be carried by anyone, I'm much better than you." ”

"You don't need to be lifted, but you didn't run to the head," Wu Laosan laughed at him unconvinced, "The old eagle flew to the pig's belly, and just looked at others as black, but couldn't see himself black." ”

In this battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, killed more than 200 people, and captured more than 100 people, which greatly boosted the morale of the base areas and greatly destroyed the enemy's prestige. Taipingzhuang was a complete victory, and the base was full of jubilation.

The troops had just withdrawn to Taipingzhuang and had not yet taken a breath, when the enemy regained its strength and made a comeback. Han Xing said to Wang Xiu'e and Wu Xiaoming: "Not only will we return the horse pistol, but the puppet army will also learn to return the horse pistol." If this battle is fought again, it will be more difficult, and Zhang Weihan will be asked to urgently transfer another main force regiment. Otherwise, I'm afraid Taipingzhuang will suffer. ”

Through the radio of the county party committee, Han Xing's urgent telegram immediately arrived at the new 8th Brigade, asking for reinforcements. Zhang Weihan quickly dispatched one of Yin Zhaoli's main forces to support Taipingzhuang. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the troops of Taipingzhuang will have to hold on for some time.

At this time, the county brigade, the Yundong brigade, and the district squad all withdrew to the village. The joint defense team members from the outer villages continued to support outside the village, constantly harassing the enemy with sparrow warfare.

Han Xing discussed with Zhang Xia and decided to take advantage of the favorable terrain in the village to continue to teach the enemy a lesson. At this time in Taiping Village, there were hidden passages in the walls of every house, one family after another, fortifications were built on the roof, and one house was connected to another. The whole village has formed a complete defense system that can be attacked and defended, and can retreat at any time.

Zhang Xia said to Zhou Maoduo: "After all, the county brigade, the Yundong brigade, and the district squad are not very familiar with Taipingzhuang, so separate your militia and give us a living map." ”

Zhou Maoduo said: "When you live the map, you don't need a joint defense team, but the children's league members and women's rescue members can do it. He hastened to allocate personnel, and each of the troops outside was given one or two "living maps".
