Early the next morning, Yu Tiesuo took Yuan Changbao and them, went to the market to buy a carriage, and went to the coffin shop to buy a coffin and came back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he hid all the ammunition and some white powder, as well as ropes and other items, under the coffin.

Huang Baolian was very puzzled by what he was doing, so she asked, "Why don't you hide the ammunition in the coffin, but hide it under the coffin?" ”

Yu Tiesuo said with a smile: "Hidden in the coffin, you can think of it, and the little devil and the puppet army must also think of it." What if they opened the coffin to look at it? It's different when I hide under the coffin, this coffin is so heavy, they won't lift it up to look at it, right? ”

Yuan Shun asked again: "Then why do we only bring ammunition and not guns?" ”

Before Yu Tiesuo could answer, Yuan Changbao hurriedly said, "Aren't we having guns outside the city?" Just bring enough ammo and you're good to go. Besides, the gun is so big, where are we hiding? Didn't Brother Yu say it? If the coffin is empty, nothing can be hidden inside. ”

Yuan Shun and Huang Baolian nodded silently after hearing this.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, as expected, the Japanese army and the puppet army boarded the carriage, opened the coffin and checked it, and knocked a few times on the top and bottom of the coffin to make sure that there was no mezzanine, and then let them out of the city.

After leaving the city, although Huang Baolian didn't say anything, it could be seen from her eyes and expression when she looked at Tiesuo that he admired and admired Tiesuo. Just ask the whole world, when there is a woman who sees that his man is capable, she is not proud of him?

Along the way, the five of them talked and laughed, and soon came to the place where they usually practiced guns. After digging up the guns, they were each equipped with a long gun and a short gun, and brought enough ammunition with them to hide the coffin and the remaining guns and bullets. Full of confidence in the direction of Taiyuan.

Rushing was originally a very boring and boring thing, but it was different with Yu Tiesuo and them. Because he always makes everyone feel lively and happy.

They walked all the way and asked questions, and after leaving Changzhi County, and passing through a hilly area for more than ten miles, someone suddenly blocked the way.

"Don't move, raise your hands." I saw several people with the eight-way characters printed on the armbands on their left arms holding guns in front of them.

"What do you guys do?" Comrade of the Eighth Route Army asked.

Yu Tiesuo looked at their outfits, and of course recognized their identities. At this time, he had already made up his mind in his heart, if these people were the real Eight Paths, then it would not hurt to tell them the truth. But if their eight-way identity is fake, then after he approaches them, he is also fully confident that they will be dealt with quickly. After thinking about this clearly, he hurriedly replied: "Big brothers, don't shoot, we are fighting devils, no, we are still carrying guns." Are you eight-way? ”

"We are the third battalion and one company of the 771st Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, what are you doing here? Where did the gun come from? The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army asked.

Yu Tiesuo smiled and said: "We are here to fight devils, I heard that a group of devils will come here recently, and we want to find a good place to ambush them." Has Westfire heard of it? Haven't there been many devils in Westfire Town who have been assassinated recently? There was also a death called Asano, and a serious injury hospitalization called Kameda, all of which we did. ”

The soldier of the Eighth Route Army was surprised and said, "You did all this? ”

"Yes, yes!" Yuan Changbao and the others all replied one after another.

After receiving a positive answer, the soldier of the Eighth Route Army said: "It doesn't look like you're telling a lie, I'll take you to our company commander first!"

After speaking, he took Yu Tiesuo and them to find the company commander. After walking about two or three miles, they came to a small hill with dense woods, where more than a hundred soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were resting in place.

The soldier of the Eighth Route Army took the five of them to a young man who was looking at the map, stood up and saluted, and said: "Report to the company commander, we found these people when we were on guard, they said that they dared to come from Xihuo to ambush the devils, and I specially brought them to meet you!" After speaking, he said to Tie Suo: "This is our company commander Li Dianbing." After saying that, he turned back and walked away with neat steps.

Li Dianbing put down the map in his hand, looked at the five young people and smiled, and said, "Hello, let's introduce yourself first!" ”

Yu Tiesuo also made a saluting posture like a soldier just now and said, "Hello sir, my name is Yu Tiesuo." ”

Li Dianbing said with a smile: "We don't have a commander here, we all call each other comrades. He looked at the others and asked, "What about you?" What are you called? ”

After the other four introduced themselves one by one, Li Dianbing said, "How do you know that there will be a group of devils passing by here?" ”

Yu Tiesuo said: "Not only do we know that a group of devils are passing by here, but we also know that they are a large group of troops, and they will probably pass by here tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh? Do you know a lot? Let's talk about it! Company Commander Li asked with a smile.

Yu Tiesuo said: "We are the ones who turned Xihuo Town upside down, and we have killed a lot of devils, and the biggest official of Xihuo, Kameda Ichiro, is still seriously injured and lying in the hospital, which is also what we did." These devils were sent to reinforce Xihuo. I heard this news from the puppet army. ”

"Oh, I see!" Li Dianbing looked at them with admiration and said, "You guys are really good, if there are more young people like you in our country, how dare little Japan bully us?" You say, don't you? ”

Yu Tiesuo said without modesty: "That is, if we are all like me, then the devil has to kneel and call us grandpa." ”

When Baolian heard him say this, she blushed a little for him, and after glaring at him, she hurriedly explained: "Company Commander Li, don't listen to his nonsense, he is not ashamed, he loves to brag, we are not as good as you say, the devil killed our relatives, we killed the devil to take revenge, and by the way, we just eliminated harm for the people." ”

When Yu Tiesuo heard Baolian say this about him, not only was he not angry, but he smiled and said, "Have you praised me like this?" Although you are my daughter-in-law, you can't praise me whenever you meet people, how embarrassing it is! ”

When he said this, Huang Baolian really couldn't cry or laugh, glared at him again, and ignored him.

Company Commander Li laughed when he heard their conversation, and forced himself to laugh and said, "Okay, okay, no kidding." Let's get down to business. Tell me what your plans are! What do you guys think? Five people dared to ambush a large group of Japanese soldiers. ”

So Yu Tiesuo proudly told Li Dianbing about his thoughts in detail. After finishing speaking, he asked, "Company Commander Li, what do you think of my thoughts?" We don't compare the number of people with the little devil, we compare the physical strength with him, and compare the mobility. ”

Li Dianbing was surprised and said: "This method is too good, so that we can not only protect ourselves, but also effectively strike at the enemy, and exchange our minimum casualties for the greatest victory." If we fight like this in the whole company, it will definitely make the devil crazy, haha......"

Yu Tiesuo heard that Company Commander Li had such a high opinion of his idea, and he was even more proud, and said, "Since this method is so useful, then what are we waiting for, you can arrange it quickly!" Oh, by the way, where are we ambushing? ”

Company Commander Li said: "Right here, here from the hill condescendingly, coupled with the dense trees, it is not easy for the enemy to find us. It's just the right time to take the tactics you just said to the extreme. Let's go, follow me to assign tasks, and by the way, you can tell your comrades the trick of this group covert play. ”

At this time, Yu Tiesuo, not to mention how happy he was in his heart. He was happy, not only because his idea was affirmed by the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, but also because he had taken the line of the Eighth Route Army, and if he acted together in the future, he could kill more devils.

Company Commander Li asked the herald to gather everyone, and then brought Yu Tiesuo to the front of the team. First of all, I introduced the deeds of Yu Tiesuo to everyone, and let everyone welcome their arrival.

After a round of warm applause, he asked Yu Tiesuo to explain to everyone in detail the technique of separating and concealing and constantly changing positions to ambush.

At this time, Yu Tiesuo had already said this question twice, but he was not bored with the third time he was about to speak. Because he didn't just want the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to understand this tactic more clearly and kill more devils; At the same time, it is also to have one more opportunity to show his ability in front of others and get more people's praise.

After Tie Suo finished speaking, Company Commander Li asked several platoon commanders and soldiers for their opinions, and after everyone had no objections, he divided everyone into groups. Then he and Yu Tiesuo went to study the map on the side. They have to specify a more detailed battle plan and carefully think about every detail of the deployment, which is an attitude of responsibility for the lives of the soldiers.

The six of them discussed for a long time, and finally decided to use the strength of this company to use this place as the midpoint to open a total of about 10 kilometers of battle lines to the left and right, until five kilometers near the county seat of Changzhi. On this 10-kilometer-long ambush front, they shoot one shot to change places, and when the enemy pursues this side, they shoot that side; When the enemy pursued that side, this side opened fire again. In short, it is necessary to disrupt the enemy, so that the enemy cannot figure out how many of them are in ambush, which side is the main force, and which side is worth pursuing.

This is the famous sparrow warfare method in the Anti-Japanese War, the name of sparrow warfare was later taken by Liu Bocheng, the then commander of the 129th Division, in an annual tactical report in 1938, and the second tactic has been widely circulated since then.

After discussing the tactical details with Yu Tiesuo, Company Commander Li Dianbing assigned tasks to each attack team.

After arranging everything, they chatted. Huang Baolian and Yuan Changbao also sat aside, listening to the conversation between Yu Tiesuo and Company Commander Li.

Company Commander Li asked, "What are your plans for the future?" Do you want to join our Eighth Route Army? ”

Yu Tiesuo said: "I think, I definitely want to join the Eighth Route Army, but I can't follow the big army, I want to stay in Changzhi County to recruit troops, organize the team, and fight with the devils of Changzhi to the end." ”

Li Dianbing patted him on the shoulder happily and said: "Good job, ambitious, I believe that you will definitely be able to bring out a team that can fight and win battles, and sooner or later one day drive the Japanese devils out of China." After speaking, he paused and then said: "Actually, I am going to leave Changzhi after this battle, and the organization's order has come down, send me to my hometown, Quyang County, Hebei, like you, where I can organize the militia, expand the ranks, and fight against the local devils." ”

When Yu Tiesuo heard him say this, he said with some doubts in his heart: "Oh, then if you leave, who will I contact if we need to fight together or if we need your rescue?" ”

Li Dianbing said: "Don't worry, the organization will send people to take over my work, and people will be sent to set up multiple contact points in various towns in Changzhi County, and someone will contact you at that time." ”

Yu Tiesuo said with a little reassurance: "That's good, since I have already held the line of the Eighth Route Army, you must not dump me, I can rely on you, haha......"

Li Dianbing also smiled and said, "You just have to do it!" If you don't want to rely on it one day, our organization won't agree. ”

That night, Yu Tiesuo and Li Dianbing's team spent the night in this hilly jungle.

In order not to be detected by the enemy's scouts that there was an ambush in the woods, they did not live for a long time, and they only ate some dry food that they brought with them after eating. The winter night is as cold as a knife, and it is bitterly cold. The soldiers were huddled together in twos and threes to keep each other warm.

Perhaps the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have been weathered for a long time and have adapted to such a life of eating and sleeping in the open, so they don't feel how difficult such a night is. But Yuan Changbao and they felt very painful. Even though the three brothers hugged each other tightly, they still couldn't sleep in the cold.

Yu Tiesuo looked at Yuan Changbao, who was trembling, and asked Huang Baolian, "Daughter-in-law, are you cold?" ”

Huang Baolian didn't answer, just nodded lightly.

Yu Tiesuo saw her nodding and immediately reached out to unbutton herself. He was going to take off his coat and put it on her.

Huang Baolian saw that he was going to undress himself, so he hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing?" You put your clothes on me, so what are you going to do? Yu Tiesuo smiled and said, "I'm in good health, and I can hold on." ”

Huang Baolian said: "Don't take it off, let's go over there for a walk!" Or practice for a while, warm and warm? ”

Yu Tiesuo said, "Okay! Then let's go a little farther away and try not to disturb everyone's rest. ”

After the two walked a few hundred meters, they each punched a set, and felt that their bodies were a lot warmer, so they found a rock and sat down.

Yu Tiesuo put his arm around Huang Baolian's shoulders and said, "Baolian, in the future, we may spend a lot of time in the wilderness, and follow me to eat at no time and live in a fixed place, are you afraid?" ”

Huang Baolian said softly: "I'm not afraid, as long as I'm with you, I'll be home wherever I go." ”

When Yu Tiesuo heard Huang Baolian say this, he immediately felt a lot warmer in his heart. He tightened his arms around Huang Baolan.

Early the next morning, the comrades got up and did some simple exercises, moved a little, then ate some dry food, and then found the ambush position arranged the day before, quietly laid down in ambush, and waited for a tough battle that was about to begin.

Yu Tiesuo went to chat with Li Dianbing when he had nothing to do.

While the two were talking, a sentry suddenly came to report that the troops that had found devils two miles away in the southeast were heading in our direction, about 500 infantry, and a group of cavalry.

After hearing the news, Li Dianbing's company commander immediately sent an order to all of them to take their positions and prepare for battle.

Yu Tiesuo and them are in a group of five, and they are the officers who are responsible for killing the devils.

They lay in ambush in the front position, and when the devil's troops as a whole entered the ambush circle, they first shot because of the iron lock, and then saw the devil's reaction and the other groups fired at the right time.

Ten minutes later, the devil's troops arrived, and before entering the ambush circle, one of the commanders of the devil ordered to stop the advance, he looked around with a telescope and found nothing abnormal, but still informed their soldiers to be vigilant and pass quickly.

They continued to move forward, and when the vanguard arrived at the position where Yu Tiesuo was ambushing, Yu Tiesuo asked Huang Baolian and them to aim at their own targets, and he counted three two and one to "shoot".

I only heard the sound of a gunshot, and at that same moment, five bullets were fired at five different officers and soldiers of the enemy, and I saw that in the Japanese army, five officers fell to the ground at the same time.

After hearing the gunshots, the Japanese soldiers panicked, and they held their guns and turned in circles to find their targets.

A Japanese officer who reacted quickly shouted: "Don't panic, the medical corps should rescue the commander quickly, and the other squad leaders dismount and hide among the soldiers......

As soon as he said this, another gunshot rang out, and five more Japanese officers, including the Japanese officer who was shouting, fell. It turned out that after Yu Tiesuo and the others finished the first shot, they quickly concealed themselves and lay still, secretly looked up, and saw that the Japanese soldiers did not find themselves, so they picked up their guns again, took aim respectively, and shot at the same time.

The location where they shot this time was finally discovered by the devils. In an instant, countless bullets were fired at the five of them.

When they saw that the devil had discovered their location, they quickly evacuated from their place. The whizzing bullets flew by, and although no one was shot, several people broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, an ambush point on the opposite hillside also shot at the devils, and the people who shot them seemed to be not very good marksmanship, and only killed 3 devils. When they heard someone shooting from behind, a group of devils quickly turned around, but no one found the specific location of the shot.

At this time, the devils on both sides were back to back, each searching for a shooting point.

Yu Tiesuo saw that the devil had not found a hidden companion, so he shouted loudly: "Fight." So the Eighth Route Army at all the ambush points fired at the same time, and in an instant, there were many dead and wounded in the devil team.

When they returned fire and pursued, everyone immediately retreated, and the soldiers found a place to hide. When the devil lost his target and returned, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army continued to shoot. After two rounds of attacks, nearly 100 people had been killed and wounded in the devil's ranks.

The surviving commander of the devil had no choice but to order full speed ahead and rush through the valley. So they ran forward, intending to evacuate quickly.

At this time, Li Dianbing ordered to secretly pursue the devil, try not to expose himself, and fight while chasing.

In this way, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army chased the devil all the way for more than ten kilometers until the devil approached the county seat. At this time, the Eighth Route Army had no place to hide and hide, so it stopped pursuing.

In this battle, no one of the troops of a company of the Eighth Route Army was killed, but some comrades were slightly wounded, and nearly half of the devils were killed or wounded.

Li Dianbing ordered the battlefield to be cleared along the road. Yu Tiesuo added: "Comrades, I suggest that in addition to checking the gun, you should also take off the bullet clip on the devil's waist, and touch the devil's pocket by the way, take whatever you have, take anything useful, don't waste it." ”

After hearing this, Huang Baolian whispered to him: "You will be handed over to the Eighth Route Army by your subordinates, and the province will be laughed at by them!" ”

Yu Tiesuo smiled and said, "Where am I going to be indiscriminate?" It's clearly improving the utilization rate of materials! Look at these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, how poor they are, and some of them are still wearing straw sandals on their feet! ”

After cleaning up the battlefield, Company Commander Li's entire company was carrying a bunch of things on everyone, in addition to guns and bullets, there were also cigarettes, bad watches, money, etc., which could be described as a rich harvest. The guns and ammunition are enough to assemble another company's strength.

Yu Tiesuo said to Company Commander Li: "You can take all these loots away, and I won't keep them for myself." ”

Huang Baolian muttered in a low voice beside her: "What does it matter to you that people picked it up?" Why do you keep it for yourself? ”

Yu Tiesuo ignored Baolian and said to Yuan Changbao: "Three big brothers, aren't you going to join the Eighth Route Army?" Now you have a choice, do you want to go with Company Commander Li, or go back to Xihuo with me? ”

Yuan Changbao looked at Yuan Shunze and Zhang Wubao and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yuan Shun said: "We listen to you, and we will follow whoever you say." Zhang Wubao also said let Yuan Changbao decide.

Yuan Changbao looked at Li Dianbing and said: "Company Commander Li, I'm sorry, I'll go back to Xihuo with Brother Yu first, don't worry, we will definitely pull up an anti-Japanese team and fight with the devil to the end!" ”

Li Dianbing smiled and said, "Okay! No matter where you fight, we are all comrades-in-arms, and the devils will always be beaten away one day, and we will meet again after all. Take care! ”

Yu Tiesuo said: "Don't worry, they won't have an accident if they follow me." Oh yes, shouldn't we make an appointment with a code, or the organization will contact me in the future, how will we confirm our identity? ”

Li Dianbing thought for a while and said, "Yes, Brother Yu is thoughtful, we really need to agree on a code." Let's all think about it, what code is appropriate?"

So everyone came up with ideas, you said one and I said another, in the end, Yuan Changbao read a lot of books, and finally everyone according to what Yuan Changbao said, to: "Confidants are far away and their hearts are empty, and they will meet again if they are fated." The king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and then met the iron locks and palace soldiers. "For the code, when the time comes, the connector will say one or three sentences, and they will say two or four sentences in the iron lock.

Everyone made an appointment with a code, told each other a few words, and then shook hands and said goodbye.
