Li Hanzhang persuaded him: "Brother, do you think that if you install a turret in Sun Tang, can the Eighth Road be restricted?" ”

"I think it's about the same." Zhao Zhenhua said with confidence.

Li Hanzhang didn't think so, he said worriedly: "The young man doesn't know what it's like to be sad, and he is worried about filling in the new Fuqiang." ”

Zhao Zhenhua didn't understand Li Hanzhang's words, and asked, "County Magistrate Li, what do you mean?" ”

Li Hanzhang sighed and said, "Now you can't realize it, but after a while, you will realize it." ”

Liaocheng is not far from Sun Tang, and they arrived in less than half a day. After arriving at Sun Hall, they demarcated the location, where to build the turret, where to build the barracks, where to build the ditch, and where to repair the courtyard wall.

As for building materials, do you need to talk about it? It's the forced demolition of Sun Tang's house.

In addition to the land, the common people are real estate, although the house is not too good, but it can also block the wind and rain, once there is no house, people are simply like a lost dog, and there is no place in the heart. Besides, it doesn't matter if the house is demolished, the better the house, the more valuable it is to build a turret.

Therefore, the men, women, and children of Sun Tang are all opposed, and the confrontation between the masses and the puppet army is the same as the current struggle between demolition households and forced demolition.

Zhao Zhenhua is young, relying on the puppet army with a Japanese father to support him and a loaded gun, so he had the courage to fight with the people of Sun Tang for an afternoon.

At night, the puppet army did not go back with the migrant workers, and the puppet army lived in the occupied place. If you go back, who cares about these migrant workers, and besides, the place you just occupied may be destroyed by the common people again.

After a day of tossing, Zhao Zhenhua was also tired, and fell asleep in a house he had just robbed. He also said to Li Hanzhang: "County Magistrate Li, it's time to rest after a tiring day, rest early!"

Li Hanzhang knew in his heart that the Eighth Route Army and the common people would never let them stay here so comfortably, and said to Zhao Zhenhua: "Deputy Zhao Tuan, I guess I won't be able to clean tonight, have you arranged the troops?" ”

Zhao Zhenhua said: "It has been arranged a long time ago, it is still a double post, and the guns of each squadron do not leave their bodies, and they are strictly vigilant. If the Eighth Route Army is really coming, then let's fight! ”

Li Hanzhang did not speak. But I thought to myself, can you deal with the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, even the imperial army doesn't dare to spend the night outside, let's stay in this place, we are not familiar with life, but be careful.

Before midnight, I heard a gunshot in the southeast. Frightened, Zhao Zhenhua got up from the bed and hurriedly asked, "Where to shoot?" Where to shoot? ”

At this time, a correspondent came and reported: "Report to the deputy brigade, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, the Eighth Route is attacking from the south and east. ”

"Fuck," Zhao Zhenhua scolded, "What is there to be alarmed, how many people, what troops are they?" ”

The correspondent reported: "Looking like that, it seems to be the people of the Liaocheng County Brigade, the number of people, it is dark and I can't see clearly." ”

"Really, there are only a few birdmen in a county brigade, what's so scary. Tell the first squadron leader to tell him to resist, I'll support him here! ”

The correspondent hurried to the 1st Squadron to resume his life.

Li Hanzhang nervously stood beside Zhao Zhenhua and came up with an idea: "Deputy Zhao Tuan, while the Eighth Road has not yet surrounded us, let's retreat quickly!" If the withdrawal is late, it will be troublesome if the Eighth Road is blocked to the west. ”

Zhao Zhenhua felt that the Eighth Road was also a county brigade, and if he didn't fight, he couldn't explain it. Besides, after a day of tossing, if you withdraw, what will the migrant workers do, and what will you do about building the artillery tower?

At this time, the gunfire rang out again from the west. When Zhao Zhenhua heard this, he was taken aback, and as soon as the gunshots rang out in the west, that is, the way back was blocked. Li Hanzhang was also so frightened that his face changed, and he said in a panic: "I said it, it's too late to evacuate, and I can't go back when I go home." There is only one road in the north, and if the road in the north is blocked again, it will really make us dumplings. ”

At this time, the correspondent came to report and said: "Report to the deputy brigade, the big thing is not good, and the eighth road to the west has come up again." ”

"How many people, where are the troops?" Zhao Zhenhua hurriedly asked.

The correspondent said: "How many people can't see clearly, look at them like that, like people from the second district team?"

"Hold on," Zhao Zhenhua gave an order to the communicator, "tell the second squadron to hold on, and you can't retreat." ”

The correspondent hurried to the second squadron to resume his life.

Li Hanzhang had to come out and speak at this time: "Deputy Zhao Tuan, there is only one life!" If your life is gone, what kind of turret will you build!? ”

Zhao Zhenhua felt that he couldn't fight anymore at this time, in case the Eighth Road came from the north again, then his three hundred or so people would really be finished. So he gave the order: "Tell the 3rd Squadron to follow me to the north." When we withdraw, the 1st and 2nd squadrons will withdraw again. ”

There was a road ditch in the north, and Li Hanzhang and Zhao Zhenhua led this road and the puppet army did not dare to take the big road, so they went directly down to the road ditch and retreated from the road ditch to the north.

Li Hanzhang and Zhao Zhenhua let one platoon of puppet troops open the way in front, and two platoons of puppet troops cover behind. He rode two horses, and retreated north with several officers of the battalion headquarters, six or seven horses.

He had just walked less than two miles when the gun rang out again not far to the north. When Li Hanzhang heard that it was a big deal, he said to Zhao Zhenhua: "Let me say, the battle on the Eighth Route has always been elusive, and there must be their soldiers in the north, as expected." ”

Zhao Zhenhua said in his heart, you only said that you were going to retreat from the north, when did you say that there are eight roads from the north. But now, it was not easy to argue with him, so I had to stop the line and observe the change of gunfire in the north.

It doesn't matter if you hear this, when you hear it, your face changes color with fright, this is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, listening to the gunshot, it sounded like fried beans, it continued, and it didn't stop at all. And it was all bursts, needless to say, this is the Yundong brigade, only the Yundong brigade has a submachine gun (they say that the assault rifle is a submachine gun).

The north side could not go, so Zhao Zhenhua and Li Hanzhang hurriedly turned to a trench to the west.

At this time, it had just rained, and the trench was very muddy. Those horses have heavy bodies, which one has to weigh four or five hundred pounds, the body is heavy, and the hooves are small, of course, this hoof has just been pulled out, and that hoof has fallen into it again.

The gunfire was getting closer.

Li Hanzhang saw it, don't talk about leaving, he directly called the horse to the pit, and hurriedly abandoned the horse with Zhao Zhenhua and fled. But with shoes on, it is not easy to walk in this muddy ground, this foot can be pulled out, and that foot is sinking into it again. Li Hanzhang and Zhao Zhenhua were in a hurry, took off their shoes and threw them away, and fled barefoot.

I found the problem again after escaping, and it was extremely inconvenient to wear a yellow tweed coat. The yellow tweed coat was covered with yellow mud, wet and heavy, just like wearing a big burden, the two of them took off their coats again, wore yellow skin, and only hated their father and mother for having two legs, and fled desperately towards Liaocheng.

Of course, those officers are the same as the two of them, what horses, tweed coats, all of them are gone, and their lives are still important!

In this battle, the county brigade, the district brigade, and the Yundong brigade won a complete victory, and at a very small cost, they captured a lot of horses, tweed coats, as well as enemy bullets and some prisoners. As for the migrant workers, of course, they were all released and went back to their homes.

Under the leadership of the anti-Japanese county party committee and the county government, the villages in the various base areas again carried out the joint defense work of the militia. Due to the increasingly harsh environment, the anti-Japanese democratic government of Liaodi County had to move to the periphery of Zhuxian County, the area around East and West Taipingzhuang.

The Yundong Brigade also regarded Dongxi Taipingzhuang as one of its own bases and was often stationed here. As for Han Xing, of course, he often comes to this place.

The topography of East and West Taipingzhuang is really good.

Because the Yellow River often bursts and floods in this area, it forms a yellow sand zone and high hills. In this area, there is a high hill that is 5 kilometers long from north to south and 3 kilometers wide from east to west like a lip, including East and West Taipingzhuang, Sunzhuang, Xinfeng, and Qizhuang.

As militarily speaking, it is condescending and overwhelming, and this high post is conducive to defense, but not to attack.

East and West Taipingzhuang is located at the junction of the three counties of Zhuxian, Yanggu and Dong'e, and is in the position of three regardless of the three. The village is not big, only **10 families, more than 300 people. Less than three miles south of the village is Sunzhuang and Chenzhuang in Yanggu. In the east, a sandy beach crosses the old road of the Yellow River, and crosses the Sixin River, which is Liangzhuang, Renzhuang and Zhao Temple in Dong'e County. To the north is Erliduo Road is the village. The front and back of Liu Gao and Pei Wangzhai in the west are only three or five miles away.

The villages here are dense and the transportation is convenient, forming one of the strong joint defense areas of Zhuxian County.

Moreover, there is a shrub-covered alkaline soil hill in the south of this Zhuangzi, the big one is several zhang long, the zhang is more than one zhang high, the small one is seven or eight feet long, and the one is more than two meters high, like a small hill. These alkaline soil hills are undulating, with staggered teeth, and outsiders come in and can't figure out the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and are a good place to fight sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare.

There are a lot of alkaline lands in the northwest of Shandong, and these places are really white and boundless, with not an inch of grass growing, but red wattles. These red wattle strips are more than half a meter wide and more than one meter high, extremely strong and tough, and are good materials for basket weaving. If you are fighting guerrilla warfare, this is also an ideal good cover.

There are also good conditions in this area, that is, the party organization is sound, the number and quality of party members are large, the joint defense force is strong, and there are also a large number of sharpshooters. Men, women, and children all have experience in fighting traitors and bandits. In particular, the self-defense forces in Taipingzhuang and Peiwangzhai were established by some veteran party members 39 years ago, and they have a history of struggle for more than two years and have repeatedly defeated enemy harassment and attacks.

It can also be said that Taipingzhuang is a prestigious fortress village in Zhuxian County.
