Spring nights, spring breezes. A group of the Eighth Route Army rushed towards Dawenkou in the dissolving moonlight.

After accepting the task, Zhang Haitao, commander of the Tai'an detachment, Zhang Haitao, captain of the special operations brigade, and Wang Tongsheng, leader of the sniper brigade, found the soldiers of Dawenkou Town and Luo Yan's scouts from the original four detachments, drew a map of Dawenkou Town, formulated a detailed battle plan according to Liu Yimin's ideas, and assigned the task to each unit. The plan is detailed, and even the method of dealing with the devil army dog is clearly explained.

After being supplied by the eastward detachment, some of the soldiers of the four detachments had guns, and each gun was equipped with more ammunition, but most of the soldiers still did not have guns. After the eastward advance detachment cooperated with the special combat team to attack the Jieshou station, it seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the Japanese army, but the 4,000 fighters in the four detachments were far from enough, and one-third of the soldiers did not have guns. When the four detachments merged with the eastward detachment to form the Tai'an detachment, the logistics command allocated some weapons and ammunition to the Tai'an detachment, but Hong Tao and Zhang Haitao were both arrogant people and refused the support of the logistics headquarters, saying that these weapons were used to support other insurrectionary teams and local armed forces, and the Tai'an detachment had the ability to replace the troops with all-round equipment.

When I heard that the troops were going to fight Dawenkou, there was a brigade of devils there, as well as a devil's gendarmerie, railway garrison, and two devils, and the cadres of the various regiments of the Tai'an detachment were very energetic, and they were all thinking about what to do to capture a bigger picture. Fortunately, the discipline of the Eighth Route Army was that all seized goods were returned to the public and weapons and ammunition were uniformly distributed, so that the cadres no longer picked and chose and accepted the combat tasks assigned by the detachment headquarters with peace of mind. As everyone knows, Zhang Haitao's calculations in his heart are more refined than those of these cadres, and he was used to being poor when he was in the Central Soviet Region, when did he see such good equipment now? After being transferred to the Red 18th Regiment, he has been serving as Liu Yimin's guard battalion commander and guard regiment commander, although he has participated in many battles, he has never fought alone, and in the hearts of many old 18th Regiment cadres, all his achievements added together cannot compensate for the fault of not protecting the division commander in Chengdu. After the formation of the eastward detachment this time, Zhang Haitao felt that he could finally show his military talent, fight a few battles well, earn face for the division commander, and save the guard regiment from raising its head in front of the ace powerhouses of the First Regiment, the Fourth Regiment, and the Seventh Regiment. Therefore, Zhang Haitao held back his strength this time, not only to capture, but also to fight cleanly and neatly, and hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the Tai'an detachment.

It makes sense for Zhang Haitao to dare to have such an idea, although the soldiers of the four detachments have many new soldiers and insufficient weapons, his eastward advance detachment is a first-class old unit, and the weapons and equipment are also very neat. In particular, after the battle at Jieshou Station, the captured Gaoping dual-purpose guns, flat-fire guns, infantry guns, and light and heavy machine guns were not handed over, and Liu Yimin ordered the newly formed Tai'an detachment to be directly equipped to deal with the devil's railway ironclad patrol cars and ironclad trains, and the artillery company commander Yang Shuren also got his wish and became the artillery battalion commander of the Tai'an detachment. With the flat-firing cannon and the high-level dual-purpose gun, plus the original bazooka, it is like drinking soup to deal with the pillboxes and turrets of the devils. Such equipment will make the Yue army in Dawenkou so frightened that their eyes will flow out.

As for the fighters of the special operations brigade, they have long been accustomed to doing some work that challenges the surname, and the more cunning the devil, the stronger the troops, and the more ferocious the firepower, the more exciting it will be to do it. They are not afraid of what strong walls and tight defenses, if the ordinary troops can easily break through the passes, what do they let the special combat team do?

As a result, the special combat team and the Tai'an detachment, under the leadership of the scouts and the soldiers from Dawenkou, shot like sharp arrows at Dawenkou in the night.

Liu Peiyi and Li Zhengyu led the way for the No. 3 Special Warfare Squadron, because Liu Peiyi had studied at the railway children's school and was very familiar with every grass and tree in Dawenkou.

That night, Liu Peiyi, who had just joined the army, felt a little dizzy. Although he did not serve as the Eighth Route Army because of his young age and low stature, he knew that the four detachments were wearing a variety of weapons, and there were only a few broken guns. When did the Eighth Route Army have such an elite force!

What amazed him was yet to come. In Liu Pei's mind, the city wall of Dawenkou was so strong that it had to be entered through the south or north city gate. Unexpectedly, the captain of this army and the soldiers first cut the devil's wires, and even asked him to take the team to the nearest city wall from the railway children's school, and then everyone took out an iron hook with a thin rope from their bodies, shook it violently, and buckled it on the city wall. The warriors grabbed the rope and climbed the wall, and finally pulled him up.

After crossing the city wall, I followed a small alley where Liu Peiyi often played with his classmates at the base of the city wall when he was in school, and smoothly touched the railway children's school. This time, Liu Peiyi was no longer surprised. Liu Peiyi, who had already seen the stunts of the soldiers, knew that what he encountered tonight was the most elite unit in the Eighth Route Army, and the soldiers were at least trained in martial arts, and the strong city walls that the devils relied on could be easily crossed, what other obstacles could stop them?

Sure enough, at the gate of the railway school, the big wolf dog held by the devil standing guard had just time to open his mouth, and a small iron arrow flew into his mouth. The two devils standing guard felt inexplicable, and were leaning over to check why the wolf dog had convulsed and fell to the ground, and they both had small iron arrows stuck in their waists that were exactly the same as those shot into the wolfdog's stomach. Almost at the same time, the faces of the two devil machine gun shooters in the machine gun bunker with sandbags at the gate were stuck with small iron arrows.

Four fighters ran over and dragged aside the bodies of the devil sentry and machine gunner, and stood guard for the devil.

At this time, Zhao Zhiyu, the captain of the third special operations squadron, made a gesture and asked Liu Peiyi and Li Zhengyu to each lead a team to solve the devils at the north and south gates, open the city gates, and welcome the troops of the Tai'an detachment into the city.

Liu Pei was a little uneasy when he left, because the searchlights on the devil's gun tower in the railway children's school were constantly shooting, and he was afraid that he would shine on the Eighth Route Army standing guard for the devils at the door. However, he took a closer look, the devil's searchlight could illuminate the gate, but the location of the devil's sentry post was in the shadow, and the machine gun bunker could not illuminate, because behind the bunker was a courtyard wall, and the searchlight could only shine in front of the machine gun bunker, providing illumination for the machine gun shooter to see the firing boundary clearly.

Liu Peiyi shook his head, thinking in his heart that there was no word "dark under the lamp" in the dictionary of the little devil, and bad luck was inevitable. Relieved, Liu Pei led a squad of soldiers along the root of the wall to the north gate.

It's magical when you get to the North Gate! The Eighth Route Army squad actually picked up a devil's plaster flag on the bayonet, and walked to the north gate in a neat line.

At this time, the north gate had long been closed, and the devil's sentry was still standing guard on the city tower, and the devil in the machine gun bunker inside the city gate stared at this "imperial army" with staring eyes. The captain of the Eighth Route Army held a flashlight and shook it on the devil's face, and the little devil covered his eyes with his hands. Without waiting for the devil to ask, the captain of the Eighth Route Army asked for the password, and after the devil replied "Sakuro (cherry blossom)", the squad leader led the team to the devil in a big way, patted the devil on the shoulder and said that it was hard work. As a result, the little devil grinned, and before he could say Aliya Island Gou Zai Yima Si (thank you), his neck was twisted. The other two devils in the machine gun bunker also hung their heads softly like this one.

Liu Peiyi is no longer surprised, and he is not interested in how the devil on the city tower died, but he quickly grabbed a handful of the devil's 38 big cover and never let go. Later, Liu Peiyi, who was awarded the rank of major general, said in his memoirs: "Everything that happened that night is still churning in my mind like a movie. Since then, I have firmly believed that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will be won, and that it will inevitably be our Party and our army that will win this war. ”

The battle of the surprise attack on Dawenkou ended with a strong attack, because the searchlights on the six-story turret in the Red Department of the Devil's Barracks of the Railway Children's School were really annoying, and the vigilance of the devils was very high, and there were sentries on each floor, and Zhao Zhiyu could not sneak into the turret without the devils noticing. I had to wait for the first regiment of the Tai'an detachment to come up, and concentrated the three special operations squadrons and the four bazookas of the Tai'an detachment, and opened fire at the same time, completely destroying the devil's turret.

Now, the devil's barracks are in chaos. The devils who were lucky not to live in the turret woke up from their sleep, grabbed their guns and wrapped them in a crotch cloth and rushed out, shouting birds in their mouths. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army that attacked was also wearing military uniforms and shouting in their mouths, and the little devil couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. It wasn't until the Eighth Route Army opened fire decisively and killed the devils who rushed out of the house with bullets, grenades and bayonets, that the devils who got up late understood that the legendary Chinese guerrillas had come to steal the camp under the guise of the Imperial Army, so they hid in the barracks rooms converted from school classrooms and teachers' dormitories and crackled with the Eighth Route Army. However, the resistance at this time was already a bit futile, and many people of the Eighth Route Army who poured into the courtyard did not even have a chance to shoot a shot, especially the soldiers from the four detachments of the Tai'an detachment, seeing that there were still devils who were alive to resist, they naturally had to take the opportunity to practice tactical movements, marksmanship, and bomb throwing techniques, and the resistance of the little devils was exactly what they wanted. It's a pity that there are too few devils alive, and most of the fighters still scold the little devils in disappointment for dying too quickly.

It didn't take much to solve the devils at the train station.

Since Nishimura, a North Korean stick, came to Dawenkou Station as a stationmaster, he got to know two gangsters on the station, one is called Fat Dun and the other is called Evil Eye. The three of them smell like each other and mingle all day long to torture the big ones and smash the pickaxes. Nishimura's favorite thing to see is to carry the big one and be pressed down by the grain bag, and often let the porter who is small and has little strength carry two large bags, until the porter is pressed down and vomits blood in his mouth, Nishimura laughs and says Yo Xi.

The conscience of this fat dun and the evil eye is eaten by the dog, and every time Nishimura vomits blood from the torture of carrying a big one, the two guys send wine and cigarettes to Nishimura, and eat, drink and have fun together.

That night, after drinking in the West Village, Yinxing made a big deal and forced Fat Dun and Evil Eye to find him a flower girl. The evil eye really found a short and fat woman and pulled her to the stationmaster's room in a foreign car. This woman is a half-laden prostitute, with a big waist garden, a large garden face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a garlic head and a big nose, a big mouth with two teeth, a little light white linen on her face, small ears, wearing a bright long silver pendant, combing a large pan, a bun with a silver hairpin, and two peony silk flowers, wearing a danslin cloth cardigan on her upper body, a bleached handkerchief, tucked in a large cardigan bag, half exposed, wearing jade white pants on her lower body, and a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet. People give nicknames called Double Hundred Golden Flowers. Unexpectedly, when Nishimura saw it, he thought that this woman was ugly, and he was a little discouraged, so he asked the evil eye to send this woman away and replace it with a real flower girl.

The evil eye sent the fat woman home, and paid for the woman's hard work, so he called the strip and called a companion girl who was dedicated to accompanying the merchants of the inn. This woman wears a short-sleeved long-slit gown in azure on the outside, a shirt on the inside, a skirt on the bottom, and a pair of brown and red leather shoes on her feet. He wears a gold ring with emeralds on his hands, a gold necklace in the shape of a chicken's heart around his neck, and gold earrings with stirrups in both ears. The short hair was washed black and shiny with shampoo, like licked by a calf, and a green hairpin was worn on it. Melon seed face, apricot kernel eyes, painted willow eyebrows, lipstick on the lips, sparse bumpy lines on the forehead, and two small dimples on the white reddish face. The body is straight and thin, the two breasts are firm, how high the upper body clothes are propped up, and the two cherry-sized ** protrude out of the breasts, which looks rich in a sense of surname. Because she is white and tall, the flower name given to her is "White Swan".

As soon as Nishimura saw the "white swan", he was immediately hooked. Let Fat Dun and Evil Eye drink next door, and close the door with the woman.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army entered the railway station.

After quietly solving the devils on the station, the troops took advantage of the situation to surround the devil's stronghold in Baotou Village at the south end of the Wenhe Railway Bridge. According to the battle plan, this stronghold must be eliminated and solved by the artillery battalion of the Tai'an detachment. The new commander of the artillery battalion of the Tai'an detachment, Yang Shuren, was in a hurry to resolve the battle so that he could support the battle for the attack on the airfield. Therefore, he didn't talk nonsense at all, and as soon as Wang Bin, chief of staff of the Tai'an detachment who led the team, gave an order, Yang Shuren ordered two flat-firing guns and two high-level dual-purpose guns to open fire, and directly smashed the devil's bunker and gun tower at the bridgehead.

The two devils who were awakened saw that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was so strong, where did they dare to resist, and raised the white flag on the spot.

Actually, the poplar people are too careless, and the battle to solve the devil's airfield is not thrilling at all, but it lasts for a long time. Li Lingfeng told Zhao Yonggang, the leader of the No. 2 Squadron, to adopt the method of Wang Laohu seizing Taiyuan and Tianjin airports, and to use poison gas bombs to solve the problem. It's just that after firing the gas bomb, the waiting time is a bit long. By the time the special operators in gas masks and gloves entered the airport, there was dead silence inside. Le's Zhao Yonggang immediately sent a telegram to Li Lingfeng, saying that the special bomb was too good, better than howitzer shells and rockets.

By one o'clock in the evening, the entire Dawenkou was under the control of the Eighth Route Army. Now it's time to wait for the devil's train.

At three o'clock in the evening, the military train sent from Qingdao to Yanzhou arrived.

This Dawenkou is a second-class station, and the military trains generally do not stop here. But the driver of the Devil Army found that a red light was lit up in front of him, so he had to brake.

When the commander of the devil saw the military train stopped, he hurriedly got out of the car to inquire about the situation, only to learn that there was guerrilla sabotage work at night. A section of railway track between Dawenkou and Ciyao Town has been pulled out, and the railway garrison is organizing emergency repairs, and it is estimated that it will be opened to traffic in two hours.

The devil commander cursed a few words about the guerrillas' very bad conscience and eight checks, and then ran to report to the supreme commander of the devil in the military column.

This military train was a baggage truck of the 114th Division of the Devils, and the carts were loaded with ammunition, medicine, and rice from the 114th Division. There were two squadrons of devils escorting the car, and there was a firepower vehicle at the front and rear of the car, which was equipped with high-level dual-purpose guns, flat-fire guns, infantry guns, and heavy machine guns. The escort was the commander of the 114th Division's baggage wing, Hideji Nakajima.

After listening to the captain's report, Nakajima Shuji Shaosa took a closer look out the window, and saw that the station was brightly lit, the railway garrison as a guard was lined up, and there were patrols patrolling back and forth at the station, and there were soldiers on guard at the distant fire points, and the stationmaster wearing the uniform of a railway clerk stood there respectfully with a signal light in his hand.

Nakajima Shuji Shaozo nodded secretly, the bastards of the railway garrison are not bad, they are not derelict in their duties, and the guards are well arranged.

Nakajima Shuji Shaosa stood up and stretched his waist, and ordered the troops to get out of the car and rest for a while. After all, taking the car from Qingdao all the way west to the south, the buttocks are numb, can the soldiers take a walk on the platform, drink tea, and relax!

As soon as the order to get off the train and rest, the devil soldiers jumped out of the train, and a voice immediately sounded on the platform. Some asked where the toilet was, some wanted tea, and some laughed and played on the platform. The most typical is a devil squad leader, who runs directly to the stationmaster and asks if there is a comfort station at the station.

The stationmaster smiled and answered them one by one, and arranged for the staff on the platform to take the imperial army to drink tea and go to the toilet.

By the time Nakajima Hideji Shaozo arrived at the stationmaster's room surrounded by the ghost commander and others, hot tea had already been brewed inside, and a box of canned beef, a box of canned fish, and two plates of fried peanuts and spiced peanuts were also placed.

The stationmaster diligently poured sake, lit a cigarette for Shuji Nakajima, and asked His Excellency to sit down and taste it slowly, and then leave when the railway was repaired.

Nakajima Shuji Shaozoraku's eyebrows smiled, patted the stationmaster's shoulder and said straight Yo Xi. Then he sat down with a few devil officers and began to work in Mishiro.
