Qiao Mingzhi was originally a bold bandit, he once robbed a bank in Jinan, and he had a set of skills to go alone. After becoming a scout in the Eighth Route Army, he was fortunate to meet the special warfare hero Wang Laohu, and learned some special warfare skills. No, before entering Anqiu County, he found a way out, and as soon as the battle in the restaurant was over, he led the scouts through the streets and alleys, and soon left the city.

After leaving the city, Qiao Mingzhi and the others went straight to Sanlidian, took out the stored bicycles and spears in Sanlidian, and hurriedly continued to retreat along the main road. Because the little devil has already begun to pursue, it can be clearly seen from the telescope that the little devil went out of the south gate, and the dust of the motorcycle and car was obvious in the sun.

Qiao Mingzhi and the others rode bicycles for more than ten minutes, but not only did they not get rid of the devil's pursuers, but they got closer and closer to the devil. The sound of devil armored cars, motorcycles, and cars is getting closer and closer, and the scene is only two miles away.

Qiao Mingzhi thought about it, it's broken! The little devil must have used a military dog, that guy has a smart nose, otherwise the devil would not have been able to find their traces so quickly. If that's the case, it's going to be hard to get rid of the devil. Unless you swim across the river immediately, you can not find the devil's military dog for the time being, otherwise, you will be caught up by the devil wherever you run.

At that time, when I was in a restaurant, I should have sprinkled more pepper noodles and chili powder on the scene to cover up my whereabouts. It's too late to say anything now, and if you don't think about it, you will be sacrificed under the machine gun of the little devil.

It may have been that Qiao Mingzhi and them had already been seen, and the little devil began to shoot, and the machine guns on motorcycles, cars, and armored vehicles were ringing, and the bullets were chirping, stirring up a cloud of dust on the road.

Of course, it is impossible for the little devil's machine gun to hit Qiao Mingzhi and them, but it will be dangerous in a short time, after all, bicycles can't outrun motorcycles and cars anyway.

At this time, the roads were not like the asphalt roads of later generations, and the speed of cycling was very fast. The current highways are all simple roads, and to put it bluntly, they are widened mule and horse roads, but they are just bridges where they meet the river. Riding a bicycle is slow and physically demanding, and the little devil is chasing so quickly, seeing that the devil is about to catch up.

I saw Xiaoguanzhuang, which is the intersection of the two roads to Zhucheng and Linqu, and the highway passes by the village. Qiao Mingzhi stopped running, twisted the handlebars with both hands, and entered the village. He wants to divide his troops here, send two scouts to deliver information, and he and the two scouts stay behind to use the courtyard to stop the devils.

When I entered the village, I found that a team had been stationed in the village, but the clothes they wore were militia uniforms, and there were quite a few of them.

The sound of the devil's gunfire had already alarmed the team in the village, and as soon as Qiao Mingzhi and the others entered the village, they were surrounded by this team, and a group of soldiers surrounded them and were about to disarm. was so anxious that Qiao Mingzhi shouted: "We are the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils are about to surround us, hurry up and prepare for battle." What part of you are you, I want to see your sir! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers came over surrounded by a stocky and swarthy man in his 30s, with a square face, a single eyelid, and a swarthy one. The man opened his mouth and reprimanded Qiao Mingzhi: "What are you shouting? Say, what's going on? ”

Qiao Mingzhi originally lived in the Changwei area, and he was very familiar with the characters in the Changwei area.

This Kao Binzhi is the Weixian character Shuangying, born in 1904, is a native of Weixian Dakaojia Village. Kao Binzhi's ancestors were originally poor, but later made a fortune by selling bricks in a kiln. It is said that the bricks of the Weixian Confucian Temple were burned by the ancestors of Kao Bin. Kao Binzhi has been studying since he was a child, and he is smart and strong. When he was a child, he was kidnapped by bandits with another child in the same village, but Kao Binzhi took advantage of the bandits' inattention, broke free from the rope, removed the blindfolded black cloth, and ran away. The family paid for the child and ransomed it, but the test family didn't spend a penny. When he was in middle school, Kao Binzhi won many Weicheng sports competitions and long-distance running championships, and practiced martial arts. One of the things he is most famous for in Weixian is that he won the first place in three events in one fell swoop in the middle school sports meeting held in Shandong Province, and he also achieved it when the Weixian official did not send a representative and he went to Jinan to participate in the competition without permission. At that time, the people of Weixian County were in a sensation, carrying a sedan chair and playing military music to the railway station to greet him. It is difficult for such a person not to be known by others.

After graduating from middle school, Kao Binzhi was introduced by fellow villager Tan Songzhou to serve as a soldier in Sun Dianying's army, and was appointed by Sun Dianying as the captain of the teaching brigade of the military and political school. Later, Sun Dianying's troops were defeated by Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui, and Kao Binzhi returned to his hometown. After the 918 Incident, the National Political Axe ordered the formation of local armed forces, and Kao Binzhi served as the leader of the third district squadron of Weixian County, and later took over as the district chief. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Li Wenli formed the Eighth District Guerrilla Force, and Kao Binzhi served as the head of the First Regiment, and later as the captain of the First Guerrilla Corps, which was actually the head of the regiment.

Most of Kao Binzhi's regiment are children of the three districts of Weixian County, and they are relatively united, plus Kao Binzhi's army is strict in rewards and punishments, and has good discipline, so it can be regarded as the first-class main force under Li Wenli, and it is also the most resolute force in Li Wenli's troops.

This time, Kao Binzhi led his troops to the area of Xiaoguanzhuang to hide and wait, and he also wanted to learn the fighting style of the Eighth Route Army and see if he could make an ambush on the side of the road. He deployed the first battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness in Dashiquan Village and Xiaoshiquan Village, the second battalion in Shiwuli Hou Village, and the third battalion in the area of Huangjiapo, which had retreated to the southwestern mountainous area, to serve as a reserve unit. Unexpectedly, Qiao Mingzhi and the others withdrew here, and the little devils were also brought in.

Qiao Mingzhi is an old man in Weifang, and he has been serving as a reconnaissance platoon commander since joining the army, so he is familiar with Kao Binzhi's situation. Therefore, as soon as he saw Kao Binzhi's arrival, Qiao Mingzhi put his feet together, performed a standard military salute, and then reported loudly: "Report to the head of the examination regiment, Qiao Mingzhi, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the first regiment of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, report to you that we carried out a reconnaissance mission in Anqiu County and eliminated a group of military spies who disguised themselves as ordinary people. Now that the devils are catching up, please hurry up and order the troops to prepare for battle, it's too late! ”

When Kao Bin heard that it was Qiao Mingzhi, his face immediately changed: "Yo, isn't this the famous Qiao Baye?" How did you become the reconnaissance platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army? ”

Qiao Mingzhi knew that Kao Binzhi had been kidnapped by bandits when he was a child, and he actively hated the bandits, and he was indeed the leader of the bandits in the past, so he couldn't talk in front of people. However, at this time, he was already a glorious soldier of the Eighth Route Army, and he was a hero of the Eighth Route Army who had made meritorious contributions, and he was no longer the kind of bandit who drew a gun and a knife with people at every turn. So, Qiao Mingzhi shouted loudly: "Captain of the exam, I used to be Qiao Ba, that was my shame." I am now the commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the Eighth Route Army to fight devils and eliminate Han annihilation, and we are friendly troops. Believe me, hurry up and get ready for battle, the devils are about to attack! ”

There is no need for Qiao Mingzhi to say more, Kao Binzhi looked up and knew that the little devil was going to surround this small official village. However, the number of devils on this road is not very large, just a small team, and there are forty or fifty puppet soldiers, adding up to one hundred and ten people. This bit of people, Kao Binzhi has not yet put it in his eyes. The only thing to worry about is that the devil has an armored car, and this guy is not easy to deal with.

After listening to Qiao Mingzhi's words, Kao Binzhi knew that this famous habitual bandit Qiao Baye seemed to really be the Eighth Route Army.

Kao Binzhi and Li Wenli are essentially different, Li Wenli is deep in his thoughts [***], but Kao Binzhi does not have this kind of reactionary thought, strictly speaking, he is a professional soldier-style anti-Japanese hero, and his relationship with the Eighth Route Army is also very good.

Kao Binzhi glanced at Qiao Mingzhi again, waved his hand, and said to Xu Chuanjing, the commander of the spy company: "Let them go, prepare for battle!" ”

The commander of the spy company, Xu Chuanjing, nicknamed Xu Laohu, is a master who fights devils and does not want to die, and when he saw the little devil's cars, armored cars, and motorcycles parked outside the village, and the devil soldiers were setting up small steel cannons and heavy machine guns, he was already red-eyed. Hearing the order of the head of the regiment, he waved his pistol and yelled at Qiao Mingzhi: "Get out, don't delay Lao Tzu to fight devils!" ”

Qiao Mingzhi laughed in his heart, the Eighth Route Army has eliminated many more devils than you militia have ever seen. Dare to let Lao Tzu go, and don't ask what Lao Tzu does, Lao Tzu is the killing god of the little devil! This time is not the time to quarrel, although the number of little devils is small, but the reinforcements come quickly, and the weapons are good, look at the old-fashioned weapons of Kao Bin's troops, Qiao Mingzhi knows that today's battle is not easy to fight, this examination group is known as Li Wenli's first-class main force, but just looking at the guys, he knows that the combat effectiveness is too far worse than the Eighth Route Army, and the difference is definitely not one, two grades.

Qiao Mingzhi ordered the two scouts to quickly return to report, and then said to Kao Binzhi: "Captain Kao, as soon as we fight, the little devils will be reinforced soon." I think that after fighting for a while, when the devil is beaten, quickly organize the troops to retreat, and don't let the devil make dumplings. ”

After thinking about it, Qiao Mingzhi said again: "Exam leader, you are an old soldier. I have only been in the Eighth Route Army for a short time, and I am not good at commanding operations. But I don't think the brothers will take advantage of it, and if the little devil's firepower is launched, it will have to suffer a big loss. When our Eighth Route Army fought this kind of battle, it always transferred the people in the village first, opened up all the courtyards in the village, dug out shooting holes in the walls, and had positions and firepower points from the polder wall at the edge of the village to the courtyard to the roof, and then put the devils close to fight, and they could also put the devils into the village to close the door and beat the dogs. In this way, it will not be easy for the little devil to fire. ”

The more Kao Binzhi listened, the more interesting he felt, and he originally wanted Qiao Mingzhi to say it for a while, but seeing that the little devil had already begun to move towards the head of the village, he laughed and said, "Okay, you are Qiao Baye, don't be impressed!" Don't talk about it, it's too late, wait until you finish destroying these devils. ”

Qiao Mingzhi also knew that there was no time to arrange the battlefield, but he couldn't help but remind him again: "Captain Kao, the little devil only knows that we are five people, and I don't know that you are hiding here." This dozen, we will definitely be stained. However, this place is too close to Anqiu County, and the little devil reinforcements will be able to arrive soon. If you take advantage of it, you will withdraw, and you must not fall in love with war. Beware of being surrounded by devils! ”

Kao Binzhi and Qiao Mingzhi have different ideas, he has a regiment of eight or nine hundred brothers in the vicinity, as long as it starts, it will soon surround this group of devils, and it is not too late to eat meat before retreating. Therefore, as soon as Qiao Mingzhi finished speaking, Kao Binzhi waved his hand and said, "Prepare to fight, let's eliminate the devil first!" ”

Qiao Mingzhi shook his head, said no more, held the shell gun in one hand and the 38 cover in the other, and led the other two scouts to the roof.

The little devil who was chasing saw that the five dirt roads had entered the village, and he wanted to chase him into the village immediately, but there was no road in the village, and he couldn't get into the car or armored car, and the leader of the devil squad was also a second lieutenant who graduated from the army non-commissioned officer school. Anyway, there is a small village in front of you, and you can't escape from Tubalu.

After the grenadier group and the heavy machine gun team established a position, the leader of the devil squad ordered the armored car to cover the twelve soldiers to go to the south end of the village to establish a position to prevent the escape of Tubalu, and ordered a captain to take five devils to follow the puppet army into the village to catch Tubalu. He led the main force of the squad to press the fire position outside the village.

These puppet armies were all units of the puppet Shandong garrison established by the Han Dynasty during his lifetime, and most of them were a group of gangsters, ruffians, hooligans and scoundrels. What these guys are best at is the fox and the tiger, and follow the devil to fight for the tiger. When it comes to combat will and tactical skills, it cannot be compared with the puppet Manchurian [***] and the puppet North China Security Army. The scene in front of him is very similar to the scene of the tunnel war devil and the puppet army entering the village in later movies: in front is the frightened puppet army, and in the back is the little devil with a gun and bending over, trembling and shrinking towards the village.

At this time, if the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush here, it would definitely not shoot first, put the puppet army into the village to solve the problem, and attract devils from outside the village to enter the village for reinforcements. However, this is not the Eighth Route Army, but Kao Binzhi's militia group. Although Kao Binzhi himself is a hero of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, he has not received military academy training, and he is not very good at tactical command, and he fights with enthusiasm. Although he once served as the captain of Sun Dianying's political school, firstly, Sun Dianying took a fancy to his athletic talent, and secondly, Sun Dianying himself was a bandit, robbing houses, robbing houses, robbing tombs, and digging treasures. Therefore, Kao Binzhi's deployment was very simple, and he placed the spy company and machine gun company on the polder wall at the edge of the village.

The devil puppet army soon came within the firing range, Kao Binzhi shouted "hit", raised his hand and knocked down a puppet army with a shot, and suddenly the gunfire was loud, and the puppet soldiers were scared of the feces and pee coming out.

As soon as the commander of the devil who was following behind the puppet army saw the puppet army fleeing, he waved his command knife, and the five little devils clicked and clicked away with bayonets, and several escaped puppet soldiers immediately bled all over the ground. The remaining puppet army saw that it was this formation, and hurriedly turned around and attacked, shouting while shooting: "Tubalu: Listen, you have been surrounded by the imperial army, surrender quickly, the imperial army has a big golden ticket!" ”

When the gunshots rang out, the leader of the devil squad knew that there was an ambush in the village, and while ordering grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns to open fire to cover the attack of the puppet army, he ordered to send a report to the captain in Anqiu City to request reinforcements. At the same time, he ordered the devil infantry gathered around him to prepare for battle, and he wanted to see the situation of the first wave of attacks and find out the firepower and combat effectiveness of the defenders.

At this time, Li Wenli's troops had not yet received [***] reloading and replenishment, and the weapons were all collected civilian weapons, all varied, including good old sleeves and home-made singles. Kao Bin's regiment is the main regiment, and the equipment is slightly better, but it is also the weapon when the district squadrons in various districts of Weixian County were established, not to mention the short range, and the accuracy is also greatly reduced. Even Kao Wenbin's machine gun company is just a few old-fashioned machine guns. In this way, the troops mainly rely on platoon guns in their operations, and the formation is also dense. This was the usual tactics of the old Chinese army at that time.

The devil's grenadier rang out, and with two "toms" and "toms", landed in the middle of the village. Soon, the little devil adjusted the firing distance and angle, and the next two shots landed on the polder wall held by the defenders, and immediately took the lives of several soldiers. Immediately afterwards, the devil's light and heavy machine guns fired, and the bullets hit the polder, and the soldiers could not raise their heads. At this time, the little devil became more and more rampant, the devil commander waved the command knife, and kept screaming in his mouth, and the courage of the puppet soldiers also grew, not to mention the dead, and the non-dead began to crawl on the ground to find shelter, and began to shoot at the defenders.

Although the 108th Division is an ad hoc division and belongs to the third-rate troops in the army, it is the earliest ad hoc division and regiment formed by the army, and it was the first batch to participate in the war to invade and occupy North China, and the soldiers are all veterans, and their fighting will is not as good as the first-class division of the army, and even the security division and garrison division of the army, but their tactical quality is still very strong, especially the shooting level, which is basically the sound of guns. These five little devils who shoot from their stomachs continue to inflict casualties on the defenders on the polder.

Seeing that a devil commander commanding five devils can force the puppet army to attack, Qiao Mingzhi, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the Eighth Route Army on the roof, is unwilling, what he holds in his hand is a brand-new 38 big cover, with long range and high shooting accuracy, and he also has the stunt of raising a gun and pinching wires, how can he let the little devil run rampant?

The ruler was set, and through the door and the crosshairs, the round head of the devil Wu Chang was enlarged in Qiao Mingzhi's pupils, and the second thumb moved slightly, "bang", and the bullet drew an arc, burrowing into the head of the devil Wu Chang who was babbling and supervising the battle. Qiao Mingzhi could clearly feel that the devil Wu Chang's eyes were full of incredibleness, and then a blood flower burst out of his head and fell to the ground heavily.

At this moment, the soldiers on the polder wall saw it clearly, and Xu Chuanjing, the commander of the spy company, immediately stood up and shouted: "Brothers, the devil officer has been killed. Beat hard, and wipe out the devil to Lao Tzu! ”

When Kao Bin saw that the devil Wu Chang who was hiding behind to supervise the battle was killed, he knew that Qiao Mingzhi did it, and the reason was very simple, that guy had a good gun and good marksmanship. As soon as he moved, Kao Binzhi said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone shouts together, the devil officer was killed, and the Chinese do not beat the Chinese." ”

By the time the shouts on the polder wall sounded, Qiao Mingzhi and his two comrades-in-arms had already killed three of the remaining five devils. Now the puppet army was furious, and they crawled and retreated. Only the two devils who were alive were left shooting while rolling over the position, waiting for reinforcements.

Seeing that these two devils were stubbornly resisting, and he couldn't care about the grenadiers and machine gun fire of the little devils, he turned his head and asked the soldiers beside him: "Which of you has a gun that hits far and accurately?" ”

One of the fighters said: "Commander, my gun is far away, give it to you!" ”

Kao Binzhi took the gun and saw that it was an old-fashioned water bead rifle, he was overjoyed, picked up the gun and took aim, and killed a little devil who was shooting with one shot.

I only heard a cheer from the roof behind me, and then I saw the remaining little devil get up and want to run, and one stumbled and fell to the ground, needless to say, it was Qiao Mingzhi's handiwork.

Kao Bin was overjoyed, shouted "Qiao platoon is good", and ordered the trumpeter to prepare, and when the little devil launched the second attack, he blew the trumpet, estimating that the first and second battalions should catch up and make dumplings for the little devil.

The captain of the bone squad saw that the puppet army had retreated, and the captain and the five soldiers who went to supervise the battle were also killed, and knew that he had encountered a hard stubble. However, the leader of the devil squad judged from the gunfire that the main force defending the village was definitely not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and from the clothing, it looked like a militia group. Therefore, the captain of the devil squad sent a report to the captain again, saying that he had seized the main force of Li Wenli's department and urged him to hurry up and reinforce him. Then he adjusted the deployment, transferred the armored car and 12 devils at the southern end of the village, served as fire support and guard, and pulled the retreating puppet army commander again, put the command knife to his neck, and threatened to die if he dared to retreat again.

After doing all this, the Devil Squad Leader ordered a second attack.

The first battalion on standby in Da and Xiao Shiquan had already discovered that the devils were chasing the five Eighth Route Army scouts, and after hearing the gunfire of Xiaoguanzhuang, the battalion commander Lang Shuwei knew that it was the regiment commander who took the spy company, the machine gun company and the devils to fire. Anyway, there are not many little devils, so they just copy their back road. Lang Shuwei immediately commanded a battalion to run forward and reinforce Xiaoguanzhuang.

Sang Yanchun, the commander of the second battalion who was on standby in the village after fifteen miles, also had this in mind, and when he heard the sound of guns and cannons from Xiaoguanzhuang, he also commanded the troops to surround him.

The leader of the devil squad had not yet noticed the danger at this time, and ordered the main force of the squad that had already assembled on standby to rush towards the village with the puppet army. The grenadiers and light machine gun crews of the devils also shifted their positions, setting up positions behind the attacking team and providing fire cover nearby.

As soon as this little devil attacked with all his might, Kao Binzhi felt the pressure. The little devil said that the dog's marksmanship was too accurate, and the soldiers could not aim and fire back without showing their heads, and they might be hit as soon as they showed their heads. At this time, Kao Binzhi remembered Qiao Mingzhi's words, alas, he knew that he would dig more shooting holes in the wall!

Raised the binoculars and took a look, it seemed that the first and second battalions had arrived in the distance, and Kao Binzhi was unwilling to wait any longer, and the casualties would be too great if he fought for a while. This is the remaining Weixian soldiers after the devil's sweep, and one is less injured. Even if you can't wipe out all these devils, it's good to scare them away and defeat them. So, Kao Bin ordered the trumpeters to blow the trumpet and counterattack on all fronts.
