Chapter 94: This Is Guerrilla Warfare in the Snow
The devils in Bei'an Town actually discovered Xiaolu, an anti-Manchu anti-Japanese element, a few days after the arrival of the team. In early March www.biquge.info almost for three days, all the township telephones were unreachable, and several radio stations disappeared. Instead, unfamiliar radio waves appear at different frequencies.
In early March, the devils and security forces of Bei'an Town dispatched three teams to several villages and towns one or two dozen miles away from Bei'an Town to investigate, and found that the police system and the town and village chiefs had been destroyed. Several police chiefs were killed, several town chiefs were killed, and several who did not die also claimed to be ill. The Japanese were all killed. When the villagers were asked, they either said they didn't know, or they said that there was a big team, and they didn't get any useful information.
In mid-March, the Japanese began to send small search units led by locals to infiltrate the countryside and find out about this mysterious force. Unfortunately, before the first squad sent out entered the village, it was ambushed, and twenty people were ambushed by seventy or eighty guns, and two rows of guns came down and died.
In this way, all three small search units were annihilated, and the Japanese stopped sending small units and switched to large ones.
Two days later, a five-hundred-strong army of devils arrived, but found nothing but neatly arranged corpses. After chasing the traces for ten days, there was not enough food to eat, so I had to return to Bei'an Town.
Something happened on the way back.
The procession of five hundred people was not long, there were two cars, dozens of horses. The team walked up a mountain trail. It is flanked on both sides by sloping land, which has just been reclaimed and is not far from the hills that are not high. It was noon, and the team was a little sleepy.
In this place where there would be no accident at all, there was a sudden burst of guns on the slopes on both sides, about twenty or thirty guns rang out together, and more than 20 people were shot at that time, and then, the second row of guns rang out, and several more people were shot.
The devil immediately lay down, ready to fight back. I saw more than 20 people standing up on the slope on the west side, and they didn't fight them at all, but ran away, and after a while they crossed the slope.
The devil was overjoyed, leaving only a dozen people to guard the brigade headquarters and two cars, and the other three squadrons left the hillside of the main road and pursued westward. When I went up the high slope, I saw that the dozens of people wearing white cloaks and skis were sliding down the hill for thousands of meters to the southwest.
The skiing is not very fast, and now that some of the snow on the sunny slopes has melted, it is no longer the season for skiing.
The three squadrons followed the trail for an hour, but they couldn't catch up at all, and suddenly heard gunshots behind them, which was in the direction of the car. Knowing to be fooled, because the command remained in the car.
The three squadrons quickly ran back, and when they returned to the brigade headquarters, the gunfire had long stopped, and they saw dozens of corpses on the side of the road, cars, infantry guns, weapons, and supplies were gone, not to mention luggage, and even the corpses' coats, cotton clothes, boots and hats were taken away.
The four hundred devils lost contact with the command and panicked for a while. Several officers discussed it and made a decision to retreat and return to the barracks.
Although this group of devils lost their commander, they were confident that no one could threaten them, and they walked back in a neat line.
In the afternoon, the procession crossed a valley. There is a small river in the valley and there is a field of farmland next to the river. At this time, shots were fired in the woods on the hillside. Another dozen died. The Japanese army organized a counterattack, but there was no movement on the opposite side, and they chased into the woods and saw that it was empty.
This time, the Japanese army was not so bold, did not pursue, and continued to walk back. This time, they were much more cautious, and when they marched, they tried to stay away from the woods
In the evening, the same attack came again, and the attackers, wearing white cloaks, lay in ambush on the hillside, taking advantage of the terrain, directly attacking them, hitting and running. This time dozens more died.
It's getting dark. It's very difficult for the devil now, the rice balls he brought with him have long been eaten, and after walking for a day, the physical exertion is huge. There were less than 300 men left in the ranks, and more than 60 wounded soldiers. Just as the three squadron leaders were hesitating whether to camp on the spot or run overnight, the scouts came to report that there was a village due east, two kilometers away.
The Japanese army was attacked several times and was already frightened. If it's in the wilderness, not to mention the attack of those ghostly white cloaks, even in cold weather, it can kill you. There was no way but to enter the village. Let's go!
This time, the devil walked very fast, and when he walked a kilometer away from the village, he only heard a shout: "Fight! "Another volley of guns.
This time there were more than 200 people on the other side, two rows of guns came down, and dozens of devils died. Two squadron leaders were killed.
The remaining squadron leader, Bushido, exploded in spirit, brandished a command knife and shouted to attack. The devil quickly lay down, set up his machine gun, and began to return fire. However, if the devil soldier charges a little faster, he will definitely be killed by one shot.
At this time, the cannon on the opposite side rang out, and it was the 70mm Type 92 infantry gun pulled by the two cars. The artillery positions were too close to each other, almost flat. When the tenth shot was fired, the devil couldn't stand it anymore and retreated westward.
The wounded soldiers of the devils began to commit suicide, committing suicide with grenades and rifles.
At this time, a shot was fired from the opposite side. This shot did not stand out at all in the dense rifle fire, but this shot hit the only remaining squadron leader.
Only then did the devils find out that the squad leader, squadron leader, and all the officers who could command were killed.
The remaining more than 100 devils had no one to command, and they were in chaos, ran onto the highway, and ran forward along the road.
That's when the devil came.
Two cars, two cars with five or six machine guns. There were a dozen men in white cloaks in the car, shooting at the running devils.
The devil was completely frightened.
This is a one-sided slaughter. A few devils tried to fight back, but the car was so fast that they couldn't hit Ben. Some of the devils evaded the cars and began to run up the hill away from the road, while the ski-mounted men behind them quickly circled to the heights, waiting to shoot them.
The devil took these white cloaks in the twilight as devils, and had completely lost the courage to resist.
In the end, only one of the 500 devils survived, he ran in the wrong direction and fell into a pile of snow so that he was not found, and the devil's army rescued him the next day.
The devil officers of Bei'an Town wanted to get the situation of that unit from his mouth, and this guy was stupid, and it took a month to regain his senses, and he only remembered the white cloak, skis, infantry guns, and cars full of machine guns.
The total annihilation of these 500 people gave the Japanese in Bei'an a new understanding of them.
In the past, the devils of Bei'an thought that this force was bandits, very poor, and even had to take away the clothes of the dead, and some despised them. But after this battle, the evaluation of this group has changed, thinking that they are very strong in combat, and suspecting that they are the Soviet Russian army, or the Chinese army trained by Soviet Russia.
Since then, the devils in Bei'an have easily refused to come out.
On March 28, 1937, the squad's activities in Longzhen County went underground. Xiaolu asked them to concentrate on expanding their team, collecting all the mountain and forest teams, and preparing for a bigger battle.
Since then, the detachment has disappeared from Longzhen County, moved to underground activities, and began to do mass work in accordance with the experience accumulated before. Prepare to accumulate strength and develop around. The Japanese army came with a force of 3,000 men and swooped down. The plane reconnaissance also found no one. The spies were killed, some of the spies died, some ran away, and there was no news at all.
In mid-April, Xiaolu took two guards and a radio station, boarded the train from a small station, went south to Harbin, and passed through Jiamusi to the Soviet Union.
