Chapter 32: Establishing the Chinan Base Area (7)
The soldiers who managed to get into the house also suffered, and when they entered the house, it was as if they had entered a dead end, and they could not find the north. If you want to advance from this yard to that yard, it is not easy to say, either the black guns or the land mines, it is really a heavy loss, and you are beaten everywhere, and you don't know where the black guns came from.
The first and second companies finally attacked the mouth of the alley, and trouble came again, and there was a small gate at the mouth of the alley. Next to the small door is a low wall with gun holes in the wall. Rows of bullets shot out of the guns, and the soldiers of the first and second companies were killed and wounded. After finally overcoming this small gate, there is still a distance from the commanding height of the village center, that is, the two-story building, that is, forty or fifty meters.
This two-story building is the commanding height of the village, and Zifan decided to fight a battle here, saying that he could not lose anything.
Han Xing, Liu Zhiyuan, Bai Ruixi, and Bai Ruifeng are all watching the movement outside from this small building.
Han Xing said to Bai Ruixi: "There is one last dish, only when this dish is finished, this banquet is finished!" ”
The last dish Han Xing said was this earthen cannon, which was cast by Wu Yawu, and its name was "Huayi" cannon. Compared with modern cannons, the earth cannon could not be simpler, it is a dead cylinder, which is filled with gunpowder, iron sand, broken iron pots and the like, as long as the gunpowder is lit. As soon as the gunpowder exploded, these iron tools were blown out, and no one could stand it if it hit anyone's body.
Village Chief Bai Ruixi glanced at Bai Ruifeng, the head of the Self-Defense Force, and Bai Ruifeng shouted: "It's already ready, it's up to us." ”
The first and second companies of the three detachments rushed up with loud shouts, and they shouted: "Rush! "Kill!" "It's a casual day to catch a big girl!" "Take whatever you want with food and supplies!"
Just because the soldiers shouted these slogans, it was not a fun thing to hear, it was all damn goods.
Han Xing glanced at Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Then let's start, light the cannon!" ”
Bai Ruixi said to everyone: "Everyone is a little farther away, and the artillery is going to explode." ”
Everyone tried to dodge as much as possible, and it was really unsettling for this rough big guy. It is not for nothing that the chamber is blown up, but if the earthen cannon is blown up and does not hit the enemy, it will suffer itself.
Bai Ruifeng had already lit a small torch, and immediately lit the fire twist of the earth cannon. There is a small opening in the back seat of this earthen cannon, and a fire twist sticks out of it, and the fire twist begins to burn "clattering". The twist of fire burned to the bottom and ignited the gunpowder.
I could only hear a "boom" sound, and I wanted to collapse the two-story building, and as soon as the fire slipped and a rain of bullets, it smashed towards the three detachments.
The soldiers of the first and second companies of the three detachments had just rushed to the bottom of the second floor, when suddenly a cannon flew and they fell one by one. It's not that the earth cannon is so powerful, it's just too coincidental, the earth cannon can hit fifty or sixty meters, and the soldiers of the three detachments rushed to forty or fifty meters, which was exactly within the range. The sesame seeds fell into the eye of the needle - coincidence.
These pieces of iron and iron bullets are flying, who can stand it. Then the machine guns of Liu Zhiyuan's company also rang out, the rifles also rang out, and the grenades were smashed down. "Da Da Da ......", "Bang Bang Bang ......", "Bang Bang Bang ......"
The officers and soldiers of the three detachments only then knew that they had encountered the Eighth Route Army, which was not a militia self-defense force at all. The commander of the first company saw that it was not good, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly." ”
In fact, without his order, he ran backwards for a long time. Those who couldn't run were wounded and dead. The first company ran away, and the second company couldn't be stupid, and quickly ran back.
Even if you run, it's not so easy to run.
Wu Xiaoming's company, with the cooperation of the militia, rushed out of the homes of various peasant households. Their assault rifles are not vegetarian, they are also bursts, and they can also be fired in single shots. "Da Da Da ......", "Da Da Da", "Da Da ........."
The grenades in the sky also flew out, there were also regular grenades, and there were also home-made grenades, which exploded so that the three teams were bitter, and they only hated their father and mother for missing two legs. If you can't run, hurry up and raise your gun to surrender.
After all, the commander of the first company and the commander of the second company are the head of the soldiers, and they both have two brushes, and they are the fastest. They quickly ran to the bottom of the eastern wall of the village. The third company was still guarding here, after all, it didn't suffer any losses, so machine guns and rifles beckoned to the Eighth Route Army, trying to cover the retreat of these three detachments.
If the Eighth Route Army had attacked the three detachments in a clear direction, and the three detachments were condescending in the village walls and corner towers, they would definitely have suffered losses. With a wave of his hand, Wu Xiaoming ordered the company to hide in the house to dodge the enemy's bullets, put the heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the roof, and suppressed the three detachments with firepower.
The three 12.7 mm heavy machine guns of Wu Xiaoming's company played another important role. The hail-like bullets flew towards the three detachments, only to hit the corner tower with bricks and stones, and some of the bullets drilled directly into the corner tower from the hole of the gun, and suddenly hit a big hole in the soldiers of the three teams.
The three detachments on the village wall were under strong pressure, and the heavy machine guns had heavy bullets and strong impact, which knocked the village wall into clods of dirt and raised patches of dust. Some of the dust fascinated the eyes of the three detachments.
Soon, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army suppressed the firepower of three people.
At this critical time, the earthen tanks of Dabai Village rushed up again. An earthen tank is a wheeled wheelbarrow with sandbags and a wet quilt on it. Although many of the guns of the three detachments hit it, it was indifferent and did not get in the way at all. One rushed up and didn't count, there were several more to follow.
The earthen tanks rushed under the village walls, followed by some fighters who threw grenades at the village walls.
"Boom-" "Boom-"
The three detachments finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to retreat back from the village wall, quickly retreating on the way to and fro. They fled, and the Eighth Route Army did not pursue, but just sent them off with crazy bullets for a while, and killed many of them.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army and the militia won a complete victory, killing 70 or 80 people in three detachments and capturing 50 or 60 prisoners. was so frightened that Lu Zhaoming didn't dare to come to Dabai Village to sweep for a while, and he shrank in the turtle's shell and was honest for a while.
The work in the anti-Japanese base area in Chinan has been carried out, and the county party committee has again put the focus on Chibei.
Wu Yawu, the county magistrate, took a messenger and a guard to Daluzhuang in the north of Chiping.
Han Xing didn't want to stay in the office of the column, so he also wanted to come to the north of Chiping to have a look. In fact, there is another important reason here, that is, more than 30 years later, Han Xing is going to go to the countryside here to be an educated youth, how can he not go to this place where he lived to have a look and have the opportunity to do anti-Japanese work.
For the safety of Han Xing, Zhang Weihan specially asked Wu Xiaoming's company to go with Han Xing.
At that time, Daluzhuang was a small village of more than 150 households and more than 600 people, located on the edge of Chiping, Changqing and Yucheng, and was one of the main villages in the hidden base area of Chibei. It is bordered by Guoluzhuang and Wangguantun in the north, Xiaoluanzhuang in the east, and Jiliao Highway passes from east to west from 8 miles south of the village.
At that time, the entire northern part of Chiping was under the dark rule of the three detachments, and the chief of staff of the three detachments, Bo Guangsan, was entrenched in Liuma Village, Xiaosangfang and other villages in Chibei. Feng Guantun set up a puppet district and township office, and stationed a local miscellaneous army, and their actions were no different from those of Japanese traitors.
In some respects, the degree of cruelty of these bandits to our anti-Japanese military and political personnel and the anti-Japanese masses was greater than that of the Japanese invaders, and they often sent armed men to attack and surround the villages around Daluzhuang and Guoludian at night. When they entered the village, they took cattle and stole them, raped women, and tortured the people they were captured, pressed them with poles, whipped them with skins, poured pepper water, and sprinkled lime noodles on their mouths when the crowd shouted.
They used all kinds of means to force the masses to provide clues about our anti-Japanese personnel and the money of the masses. If their demands could not be met, they would bury them alive and shoot them.
Therefore, the masses of the villages along the northern border of Chi fled to the woods and cemeteries outside the village every night, so that the babies did not dare to cry and the adults did not dare to shout.
Chiping's summer is good to say, Chiping's winter is very cold, the weather is cold, but the people of Daluzhuang can't go home to live. Even adults can hold it, but children can't hold it!
In a small forest, Wu Yawu and Han Xing found some fellow villagers, who were all poor villagers who had a home and couldn't go back. Seven or eight people were around a fire and their clothes were so torn that they were not much different from those who asked for food. One by one, they were so hungry that they were yellow and thin, and they knew at a glance that they were malnourished.
Wu Yawu asked an old man: "Gui Geng!" ”
The old man said, "Four out of sixty." ”
Wu Yawu asked again: "Tuba?" ”
The old man said again: "Lu Damin, you can just call me Lao Min!" ”
Wu Yawu said again: "Uncle Damin, it's not a long way for us to just stay outside." Can't we think of another way? ”
Lu Damin said: "I know that you are an Eighth Route Army, and I also know that you are a cadre. But there are too few people in the Eighth Route Army, how many people are in the three detachments, thousands of people, and they are all regular troops, and the Eighth Route Army can't beat them! ”
Han Xing interjected: "Can't we organize, as long as we are organized, like Dabaizhuang in the south of Chiping, we will establish a militia joint defense team and renovate the old village, we will be able to establish a base like Dabai Village, and we will no longer be afraid of the three detachments coming to make trouble." ”
Lu Damin sighed and said, "It's all about making the three teams scared." They grabbed the common people, pressed the bars, whipped them, poured chili pepper water, poured cold water on them in winter, and called mosquito bites with their bare backs in summer. People's hearts are cold, and I'm afraid they won't be able to pick it up again. ”
Wu Yawu said to Lu Damin again: "But when are we just dodging, when will we be hiding?" ”
