The night of December 26, 1937 was destined to be an extraordinary day for Luxi.

The dark sky is full of dark clouds, not to mention the moonlight, and even people within 10 meters are mushy and mushy. The winter in northwest Lu was unusually cold, and the blowing north wind was blowing, and his face was as painful as a knife cut, and his face was red from the cold. Some people say that the pee is frozen, which is fake, but sometimes the snot is so cold that you can't shake it off, but it's true, because your hands are frozen into chicken feet.

Han Xing, Young Master Han was wearing a thick cotton coat, shrunk his neck, and followed behind Xu Yushan, a native of Xuda Hutong, the head of the "Lianzhuang Society" in 28 villages in Boping.

Xu Yushan was a big man, with a calm face, heavy eyebrows, bright eyes, and a slightly pointed chin, wearing a yellow military uniform, carrying a pistol, leading a militia of more than 200 people. Compared with the filthy, Han Xing staggered, stumbled, behaved obscenely, shrunk his head, and the contrast with Xu Yushan was too great. To be honest, let him follow Xu Yushan to lift his shoes, Xu Yushan was unwilling. If you don't want to, there is no way, who let Han Xing be Fan Zhuxian's secretary?

Han Xing muttered as he walked: "Chief Xu, Governor Han's 100,000 soldiers and horses can't defeat the Japanese. What do you think we're going to do? Isn't this a Klang who drills into the hut specifically - looking for (death)? ”

Xu Yushan had long been dissatisfied with Han Xing, although he didn't scold, but his words were not good: "I said Young Master Han, how good it is for you to follow Commissioner Fan, eat fragrant, drink spicy, and have so many soldiers to protect you." You just followed us to fight the Japanese, that bullet doesn't have eyes, if you sacrifice your life for the country, don't blame me, it's all your life! It's too late to regret it now. ”

Regarding this matter, Han Xing also had Han Xing's reasoning, and said in a snort: "I have been following Commissioner Fan for so long, and I haven't seen a real knife or a real gun, and I want to write a report and a summary, how can I write it if I haven't participated in actual combat?" Let's really fight this, don't you just go up and say hello twice! Millions of national troops can't defeat the Japanese, so with our few broken guns, we will die-"

Xu Yushan couldn't listen to it anymore, pointed to Han Xing's nose and scolded: "Just rely on your virtue, and beat the Japanese...... Hum! If I am backward, I will be in the army. ”

The team walked and walked, and Yin Zhaoli, the captain of the Nanzhen Self-Defense Force who led the team in front, ran to Xu Yushan and said, "Township Chief Xu, the front is Nanzhen Village." ”

Xu Yushan pressed down with both hands against the team behind him, and shouted in a low voice: "All squat-" The team behind immediately squatted down, holding their breath one by one, clenching the miscellaneous rifles, big knives, and spears, so quiet that they could hear their respective wheezing sounds.

Xu Yushan squatted on the ground, taking advantage of the natural light that was already familiar in the darkness, and quietly looked at this Nanzhen Village.

People are very strange animals, if you are familiar with the darkness and have been here a few times, you can still have a rough view of the terrain of Nanzhen.

Nanzhen Village is located at the junction of Chiping, Boping and Gaotang counties, and this village is also very distinctive, that is, the terrain is higher, it can also be said that with a small cannon, it can hit anywhere within the horizon in broad daylight. In the plains, if a person is standing, he can reach 5 li by eyesight, that is, 10 li in a circle that can be seen by the eye. If you stand on the street of Nanzhen, the place where the eye can reach is much farther, at least 20 miles, and militarily speaking, you can see far away if you stand high, and when the telescope is not very good, you can visually direct the artillery to fire, and the power of the artillery will be much better.

After the July 7 Incident in 1937, the Sino-Japanese War broke out. On October 3, the Japanese army invaded Dezhou, Yucheng, Pingyuan and other places. However, Han Fuyu, chairman of the Kuomintang provincial government, led an army of 100,000 to flee without a fight, and at the same time ordered the military and political officials and armed forces of the Fourth (Linqing) and Sixth Theater (Liaocheng) to retreat south of the Yellow River.

On November 19, General Fan Zhuxian, the supreme administrator of Liaocheng, rejected Han Fuyu's order to retreat south, and issued a telegram to the people of the whole country, "Split the eyes of the north, never cross to the south, and vow to lead our guerrilla fighters and armed people to deal with the Japanese slaves." The publication of Haodian shook the whole country and inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the broad masses of people in northwest Shandong.

On December 26, 500 Japanese troops, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and armored troops stationed in Yucheng, with the assistance of their air force, set out from Yucheng and traveled west through Zhangdatun Village in Gaotang County to occupy Nanzhen. The purpose of the Japanese army was to cross the Yellow River from Guò Chiping County to Dong'a Huakou and attack Tai'an, and form a pincer attack with the Japanese army that invaded Jinan from the south on another road, so as to flank Jinan.

After the Nanzhen Self-Defense Force learned the news of the Japanese army, they evacuated Nanzhen Village, leaving only a few people to find out the situation of the Japanese army, and at the same time flew to General Fan Zhuxian. General Fan Zhuxian decided that the self-defense forces of Nanzhen would lead Xu Yushan's Lianzhuang to attack Nanzhen Village at night.

Xu Yushan said to Yin Zhaoli: "You tell me about the situation in Nanzhen again. ”

Yin Zhaoli said: "There are more than 100 devils in Nanzhen, scattered in various households. Xing Tiancheng's house is large, and there are more than 40 devils living in it. ”

"Do you dare to dig the devil's nest!" Xu Yushan said to Yin Zhaoli.

"What's not to dare to do," don't look at Yin Zhaoli, who usually doesn't talk much, but laughed at this time. Zifan smiled, which showed that this person's calmness was abnormal, "I saw it a long time ago, the devil is also fleshy, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms, I don't believe it, the bayonet stabbed him, it couldn't kill him, the bullet pierced him, and he couldn't hit a hole." ”

Xu Yushan nodded and said, "That's good, you will lead your people to dig out the devil's nest first." As for us, as soon as we hear your guns go off, we will shoot from the outside and in, and if we fight on both sides, I don't believe it, we can't kill these devils. ”

When Yin Zhaoli was about to lead his dozens of people away, Han Xing came to the trouble again, and he said to Xu Yushan: "Slow down first, can you let me go too." ”

Not only did Xu Yushan disagree, but Yin Zhaoli was also unwilling, and whispered: "What are you going to do, it's in the way, you haven't touched the gun." When the time comes, we will have to send someone to protect you! Besides, there is really a three-long and two-short, and Commissioner Fan is not easy to explain. ”

Xu Yushan was even more unhappy, and said to Han Xing angrily: "I said Secretary Han, don't make trouble anymore, okay, we are going to fight, not to have a meeting, write a summary, and not to drink and go to a banquet." ”

Han Xing insisted: "It's because I can't write a summary that I'm going." You are fighting in the front, and I am watching from behind, and it is not in the way of your business, how can it be regarded as an obstacle? How can it be considered a troublemaker? If the summary is written, it will also be 100,000 soldiers in Xiucai's hands, and you will be famous, and you will be promoted and rich. ”

"That's when you became famous. No, no, you can't go! Xu Yushan gave the order.

Han Xing was on fire, what are you Xu Yushan doing, but he is the head of the Lianzhuang Association of 28 villages, what am I doing, I am the secretary of Liaocheng Commissioner and Security Commander Fan Zhuxian, who is above 10,000 people, why listen to you. However, it was not easy to collide with Xu Yushan in person, but he quietly followed Yin Zhaoli's team behind him.

Yin Zhaoli led the village self-defense force to advance quietly, relying on his geographical familiarity, and quietly moved to the north of the village. At this time, he found out that Han Xing was also following the team, and it was too late to complain about him. Han Xing also sold obediently: "What is this called, this is called entering obediently, the devils mainly defend in the south, but we attack from the north." ”

"Shut up!" Yin Zhaoli scolded, "If you speak out again, we will be finished if we alarm the devil's sentry." ”

Yin Zhaoli whispered to Zhang Xiukou, a member of the Self-Defense Force: "When you enter the village, you go to your house and touch a few pickaxes, and then find a ladder. ”

Zhang Xiukou nodded.

Yin Zhaoli hooked his fingers and threatened Han Xing again: "Stay away from us, and if you talk nonsense, I will gouge out your tongue." ”

Han Xing also said: "Don't be too rampant, you kid is really a doll as a commander - the villain has the ambition"

Yin Zhaoli just said that he would no longer bother with Han Xing, and led his village self-defense force to quietly touch the village. There is a devil sentry at the north entrance of the village, wandering around the entrance of the village. Yin Zhaoli quietly took out a throwing dart from his arms, this throwing dart was more than three inches long, the head was polished, and there was a red spike on the tail, which was used to keep the throwing dart from turning his heels. Northwest Lu has always practiced martial arts, everyone is good at playing swords and guns, these throwing weapons are also one of people's hobbies, Yin Zhaoli has already practiced it to perfection.

The people who practice martial arts, their steps are very light, and after three turns and two turns, Yin Zhaoli turned to the back of the devil and quietly followed behind the devil. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, it could be that the devil was very alert, his ears seemed to hear something, he suddenly turned around, and suddenly found a figure walking towards him, and there were seven or eight steps, which scared him into a spirit, the bolt of the gun was pulled, and the fire was on fire, and he was about to roar, but before the words could be shouted, a dart got into his throat, and his throat gurgled, meaning that he wanted to shout, Baga, but he didn't shout, Yin Zhaoli had already hugged his waist with his left hand, and pressed it with his right hand along the dart.

The dart hadn't been fully drilled in just now, but now it was all inserted, and it was painful, and the devil was twitching all over, making a final struggle. "Your grandma's, let you die a happy death!" Yin Zhaoli muttered, and pressed the dart with his right hand like a handle, shaking it back and forth a few times, and the devil trembled a few times, and suddenly his body was hard and soft, like a mess of mud, and softened.

Yin Zhaoli pulled the red spike head of the dart thrower, pulled the dart out, and immediately a burst of blood spurted out. Yin Zhaoli avoided the dirty blood neatly, then wiped the dart on the devil's body, and put it in his own bag.

The self-defense forces behind all came up, and Yin Zhaoli whispered to Zhang Xiaosan: "Xiaosan, change into the clothes of the devil, stand guard here, if the devil comes, go to me and report it quickly." ”

Zhang Xiaosan shouted in a low voice: "Yes!" Immediately he took off the devil's clothes, put them on himself, and wandered the streets like a real devil.

Yin Zhaoli led the Self-Defense Forces from the small alley next to the street and quickly touched Xing Tiancheng's home. Han Xing said again: "This is called Yin Zhaoli to stab the sentry, and Zhang Xiaosan changed his clothes to patrol." and thou shalt sleep thy sleep, and I will touch my camp, and no one shall delay any. ”

Yin Zhaoli smashed Han Xing with his elbow again, thinking that he was too talkative.

Han Xing was smashed so that his ribs hurt, and he scolded: "You kid be careful, don't mess with you first, and I'll settle the account for you when I go back." Hum! ”

After walking for a while, Zhang Xiukou led the two team members to hide in several farmhouses. After a while, a ladder and a few pickaxes were found, and the team quietly moved forward again. As I walked all the way, I only heard faint snoring from a few rooms. Han Xing sold his mouth again: "Little devil, little devil, sleep so well!" Don't you know, stay for a while, and you won't know how you will die? ”

Yin Zhaoli hated the root of his teeth, and he hated that he couldn't strangle this mouthy and tonguey Han Xing to death.
