Chapter 53: A Sudden Attack in the Middle of the Night (Expanded Edition)
A village near the Longhai Railway, which is now the temporary residence of the military headquarters of the 74th Army of Chiang's army. www.biquge.info Although it was dark at night, the houses where the military headquarters was located were still brightly lit. The 74th Army is equipped with American-style equipment, and is equipped with vehicle-mounted military diesel generators, which can transmit electricity to command posts, communication rooms, confidential rooms, field ambulance stations, and other units in places where there is a shortage of electricity in wartime.
In the east wing of a civil structure courtyard, Liu Yan, Chen Shuxiang, and Xu Li sat at a desk, looking at the "bandit report" and looking at the military map on the table. A light bulb hangs from the beam, emitting a dazzling light. On the floor next to the table was a charcoal brazier, which shimmered with yellow flames and emitted bursts of invisible heat. Although the doors and windows inside the house were closed, the northwest wind outside could still be heard clearly.
At this moment, Liu Yan shook his head excitedly and said: "The communist army retreated from Jianghuai to Huanghuai, in fact, it wanted to regroup and make a comeback. But their territory has shrunk dramatically now, and in his own mother's words, there's little room for manoeuvre. Now the armies of the national army have formed a siege on all sides of them, and they will not be able to do it even if they have the ability to do it one day. ”
Chen Shuxiang blinked his almond eyes and said: "The communist army is in a difficult situation now, but it doesn't want to disperse to fight guerrillas, more than 100,000 people act collectively, the target is too exposed, and it is easy to be surrounded and annihilated by our army, isn't this self-defeating?" ”
Xu Li patted the table lightly and said, "When the communist army can't hold on and the door is closed, I, the press officer, will be able to close the stall." ”
Boom, a sudden explosion in the distance broke the silence of the night.
The three women were startled, hurriedly pulled their pistols from their waists, quickly left their seats, and stood against the wall. Immediately, Liu Yan gently opened the door and saw some soldiers running around in the courtyard.
Liu Yan walked out of the door and asked a soldier, "What's the matter?" ”
The soldier said in a panic: "I heard that the communist guerrillas planted explosives on the railway and blew up a section of the track near the Baita station. ”
Liu Yan saw that Chen Shuxiang and Xu Li also walked out of the door, so he waved to them, and the three of them walked into the house together.
After closing the door, Liu Yan put away the pistol, sat on the big wooden bed, and said disappointmently: "Tu Balu is really annoying, so he will do this kind of troublemaking and sabotage." ”
Chen Shuxiang also put away his pistol, sat on the wooden bed, and smiled bitterly, "Don't underestimate these sabotage and troubles on Tuba Road, if they toss like this, our communication lines will be destroyed, and the actions of the national army will also be disrupted." According to the devil officer who surrendered on August 15, the Communist Party used this kind of sabotage to make trouble, and the devil was anxious all day long. ”
Xu Li put away the pistol, sat on the chair, and gently slapped the table, "Tu Balu relies on this kind of mess to eat." I have also read the confessions written by those surrendered devil officers, and the devils divided their occupation into public security zones, quasi-public security zones, and non-public security zones, which made the Communist Party make such a fuss, and later, the public security zones were not at peace. ”
Liu Yan shook his head, "Yes, the Communist Party is now using the same tricks that it used to deal with devils back then." ”
Chen Shuxiang and Xu Li looked at each other and didn't say anything.
After a while, a hurried shout suddenly sounded outside, "Assemble, assemble, the second company of the special service battalion urgently assembled, ready to go, hurry, hurry." ”
Chen Shuxiang walked to the window, lifted the wooden lattice window, and when he saw Zhang Lijiang coming over, he asked, "Camp Chief Zhang, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Lijiang waved his hand in annoyance and said: "I just received the news that one of our carriage transport teams fell behind and did not keep up with the large army, but was attacked by Tuba Road, and the army commander ordered us to go to the rescue. Hey, more than 20 truckloads of weapons, ammunition and food! ”
Chen Shuxiang put down the window, looked back at Liu Yan and Xu Li, and said with a wry smile: "Tubalu just doesn't want us to have a peaceful birthday." ”
Liu Yan and Xu Li looked at each other, smiled bitterly at each other, and did not speak. The room was very quiet at this time, and the footsteps of pedestrians outside could be heard clearly.
After a while, Xu Li stretched, "Ah, I'm a little sleepy now." ”
"Bang bang bang", and suddenly there was a rapid gunfire outside.
The three women were startled and hurriedly pulled out their pistols, and Liu Yan shouted: "Oh no, it must be Tubalu sneak attack on the military headquarters." Ah Xiang, turn off the lights quickly. ”
Xu Li also hurriedly shouted: "Steel helmet, put on the steel helmet first, and then turn off the lights." ”
Chen Shuxiang couldn't care about holding the steel helmet anymore, so he hurriedly raised his hand and pulled up the wire switch, and as soon as it clicked, the room was suddenly pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
In the darkness, Liu Yan's voice sounded, "Tubalu is now sneaking up on the military headquarters, and it must be covering the action of cooperating with their accomplices to rob our army's transport team." ”
Then Chen Shuxiang's voice sounded, "If Tuba Road makes such a mess, the operation of our rescue transport team will be delayed." I can't imagine that the destruction of Tubalu is so cooperative, hey, I'm afraid that our transport team will be in a catastrophe. ”
Then, Xu Li's voice sounded again: "Stinky Ah Xiang, your hands are too fast, you haven't had time to put on the steel helmet, I remember that the three steel helmets are hung on the east wall, now, which is the east, which is the west?" ”
Outside, the gunshots continued to ring, and on this cold winter night, it was particularly harsh. Bang bang bang ......bang
After a long while, the three women found the steel helmet hanging on the wall and quickly buckled it to their heads.
Listening to the gunshots outside, Liu Yan said, "We should go to the commander now." ”
The three women opened the door and walked cautiously against the wall. At this moment, slender fire snakes sprang out from time to time in the night, and the fire snakes wanted to converge and cross in the night sky, forming a flickering fire net, reflecting the noisy winter night earth.
In the hall, Tang Jinshan, who was wearing a yellow tweed coat, covered his pistol and shouted loudly to his panicked subordinates: "Don't panic, the main force of the communist army has withdrawn to the Laohai Railway. ”
As soon as the words fell, boom, several piercing explosions exploded near the courtyard, one of which sounded in the courtyard, and suddenly the smoke and dust rose into the air under the reflection of the flickering firelight.
Tang Jinshan walked to the window, opened a crack in the window, and with the help of the flickering firelight, he saw the crater formed in the open space in the courtyard of the bomb crater that appeared after the explosion just now, and then turned around and waved his hand at Liu Yan and the others, "The 50 mm special grenade of the Japanese-style 89 grenade canister that exploded just now is nothing remarkable. Then, he whispered to Juniper, who was standing next to him, "I didn't expect that there is such a thing on Tubalu?" ”
At this time, Tang Jinshan found that the opponent was not a low-grade militia, but a high-grade guerrilla, a military engineering team, and other local armed forces. Their actions reveal the characteristics of their well-trained high level at the very beginning. The first is to blow up the railroad and attract Tang Jinshan to dispatch sappers to repair the railway. In order to prevent the sappers from being attacked on the road, he sent three companies of the special service battalion to escort them. Then the carriage convoy was attacked, and he hurriedly sent the second company of the special service battalion to rescue the driver. Just when the troops of the special service battalion were attacking the air, the opponent attacked the military headquarters again, and they attacked from three directions at the same time. The whole action is a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation. It was so orderly that even the regular Kuomintang army, which lacked a sense of partnership, was out of reach.
Juniper was wearing a yellow tweed coat, with open arms, and said melancholy: "Since the Communists even use grenadiers, it can be seen that they are not good at coming." The maximum range of the grenadier is 700 meters, that is, the Communists are now within 700 meters of us. Don't take it lightly. ”
Tang Jinshan hurriedly said; "Then let the nearby 153rd Regiment immediately rescue the military headquarters."
On the ridge outside the village, the members of the martial arts team were fighting vigorously on the ridge, and the instructor Ding Xiang said loudly: "Comrades, the main purpose of guerrilla warfare is to disrupt and contain the enemy, not to destroy the enemy in large numbers, and now our task has been accomplished. And the enemy will not always be beaten so passively, and their troops stationed nearby will come to the rescue soon. We don't want to fight now, but withdraw quickly, for if we are too late, we will be surrounded by enemy relief forces. ”
Then, she said to a male team member next to her: "Xiao Wang, hurry up and send a signal to tell the first martial arts team of Xulou County and the Hexian brigade, and everyone will withdraw separately." ”
Xiao Wang immediately took out a flare gun and fired two shots into the sky. Two red flares dragged their long tails into the air, and then slowly fell.
Lilac quickly left the battlefield with the martial arts team. When they walked into a wood, they found a large group of Jiang troops coming along the road, and everyone hurriedly hid in the grass.
Everyone was nervously staring at the marching brigade of the Chiang army in front of them, when a member of the team suddenly sneezed. However, this sound was heard by a Jiang army officer, who hurriedly shouted, "There are people in the woods!" Immediately, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen soldiers immediately held submachine guns, hooked the trigger, and formed a straggler formation and walked slowly towards the hidden grass of the martial arts team.
The members of the martial arts team were extremely nervous, and they pointed their guns at the enemy who came over, but at this moment, no one dared to shoot without permission to expose the target.
Chiang's soldiers are now approaching the Wugong team members step by step. 10 meters, 8 meters, 6 meters, 4 meters......
"Meow, meow." Suddenly, a few cat meows came from the grass.
As soon as they heard the meow of a cat, the soldiers of the Jiang army stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it turned out to be a wild cat." One of them also scolded: "Damn wild cats, it scared Lao Tzu." ”
The enemy soldiers hurriedly turned around and followed the marching brigade and hurried together to the village where their military headquarters were located.
When the enemy walked away, Xiao Wang gave Lilac a thumbs up, "Instructor, thanks to you for ordering the retreat in time, thanks to you for learning to meow just now." ”
"Nothing." Lilac wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, remembering the scene when she was in a hurry just now, and quickly pinched her throat and learned a few cat meows, she couldn't help but be a little scared at this time.
At this moment, in front of her comrades-in-arms, seeing that everyone was looking at her with admiration, Lilac waved her hand proudly and happily and said, "All this was taught by Camp Commander Feng's good teacher." (To be continued.) )
