Chapter 172: Ending the Turret (I)

"From here, cross Zhengtai Road?" Hong Feihu couldn't help but ask suspiciously, the place Liu Tianshu was referring to was fifty miles west of Niangzi Pass, a place called Chenggou.

"Yes, detachment leader, I think so, Niangzi Pass is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is also a place where the devil is heavily guarded, and to the east of Niangzi Pass, the devil is very tightly guarded, Chenggou to the west, that is, the Yangquan boundary, the devil's defense is also very strict, and Chenggou is surrounded by mountains and forests, as long as we cross Zhengtai Road, enter the mountains and forests opposite, and then walk a hundred miles south, we can go to the base in the south." Liu Tianshu said contemplatively.

Jiang Jinyong stared at the map for a while, touched his chin with his hand, thought for a while and asked: "Tianshu, from Qingyan to Chenggou, there are one hundred and twenty miles, and during this time, you have to pass through the blockade of the devils, and if you are not careful, you will be pursued by the devils, is this a bit risky?" ”

"Political Commissar Jiang, as far as I know, there are independent regimental activities of the Eighth Route Army in Fuxian, I think we can ask Commander Du for help, let them send troops to feint to attack Fuxian, in order to mobilize the enemy in Longkou, and then we will cross the road from Qingyan to Longkou Town in the dark night, go straight to Chenggou, we will rest during the day, and then force through Zhengtai Road at night." Liu Tianshu stared at the map and thought for a while, then looked at Jiang Jinyong and said.

The devils did not find the whereabouts of the anti-Japanese advance team, and the advance team took advantage of the darkness to cross the highway from Qingyan to Longkou, rushed to Chenggou to lurk, and waited until the dark night to act, as long as they paid attention to secrecy, this trip should not be dangerous.

Of course, if the independent regiment of Commander Du could cooperate with the advance team to carry out a feint attack on the enemy in Fuxian, it would be even more able to confuse the enemy.

"Okay, then do it." Hong Feihu thought about it and agreed to Liu Tianshu's suggestion, but then Hong Feihu and Jiang Jinyong hesitated when they heard that Liu Tianshu wanted to help the Qingyan Independent Brigade uproot the Xiaozhugou stronghold.

Later, he thought that if the Third Company uprooted the Xiaozhugou stronghold, it could attract the attention of the devils stationed in Qingyan, thus creating favorable conditions for the main force of the advance team to rush to the west of Qingyan Town and smoothly cross the road, so he agreed to Liu Tianshu's request.

It's just that Hong Feihu finally told Liu Tianshu that if the devils in the Xiaozhugou stronghold resist fiercely, don't storm it, as long as you attract the enemies of Qingyan Town to reinforce it, you can complete the task.

He heard that the Independent Brigade tried to eliminate the Xiaozhugou devil stronghold several times, but in the end they all returned in vain, and the Xiaozhugou stronghold became a stinger stuck in the throat of the base area.

"Detachment leader, isn't it just a small stronghold? According to the intelligence, in addition to the seventeen devils, there are only twenty-four puppet troops in this stronghold, so I personally commanded the three companies and one platoon and the reconnaissance squad to be responsible for ending the Xiaozhugou stronghold, and after completing the task, we immediately pursued the troops and guaranteed to meet the main force before dawn. Liu Tianshu said confidently,

The Xiaozhugou stronghold was built 100 meters from the mouth of Xiaozhugou, and in order to strengthen the blockade of the base area, the devils not only built a turret, but also built a barracks behind the turret.

The independent brigade operated several times, but because it was returned by the fire of the devils on the turret, and the turret was very strong, it finally returned in vain.

"Okay, let the independent brigade cooperate with you, the advance team will leave on time at eight o'clock in the evening, and you must cross the road from Qingyan to Longkou Town before dawn and rush here to meet us." Hong Feihu pointed to a village called Xie Jiaao, ten miles southwest of Longkou Town.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the cadres of the second company of the independent brigade and Liu Tianshu's third company and one platoon gathered in one room.

The commander of the second company of the Independent Brigade is still Li Shu, he is Liu Tianshu's old subordinate, and he is very happy to learn that Liu Tianshu is responsible for directing the operation to eliminate the Xiaozhugou Turret.

His second company was also ordered to attack the Xiaozhugou Fort twice, but unfortunately they all returned in vain, and several soldiers were killed and wounded.

"Comrades, the task of uprooting the Xiaozhugou Fort will be given to us by the superiors, this is the trust of the organization in us, the Xiaozhugou Fort is a stinger stuck in our base area, and we must uproot it this time. Company Commander Li, your second company is here to set up a position to block the enemy's reinforcements in Qingyan Town, Xiaozhugou, and evacuate immediately as soon as the turret is ignited by us. Platoon leader, your platoon and the reconnaissance squad are under my command and are responsible for taking out the turret. Everyone went back to get ready, and set off in half an hour. Liu Tianshu directly assigned the task.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Jin Zhenbiao's platoon and Shi Qiang's reconnaissance squad, led by Liu Tianshu, came to the hill opposite the Xiaozhugou Turret.

"Zhenbiao, that is the Xiaozhugou Turret, there are seventeen devils and twenty-four puppet soldiers in it, you take a platoon to guard here, I will take the reconnaissance squad to sneak over from there, once the battle starts, you will support." Liu Tianshu said to Jin Zhenbiao.

"Company commander, isn't it just a small turret? I'll just take the scout squad over and you can stay here. Hearing that Liu Tianshu was going to personally lead the reconnaissance squad up, Shi Qiang hurriedly said.

"Shi Qiang, this is the last battle for us to leave the base area, I must go in person, everyone is ready, and we will act in ten minutes." Liu Tianshu said undoubtedly.

The reconnaissance squad has not been established for a long time, although after a period of intensive training, it is still far from the requirements in his mind, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the team, Liu Tianshu insisted on personally leading the team.

Subsequently, Shi Hu, who had better marksmanship in the reconnaissance squad, was left at a high place here, ready to snipe and cover, and Chen Jianshi Qiang, under the command of Liu Tianshu, quickly walked to the small ditch by the turret.

The small ditch is actually not deep, only sixty or seventy centimeters, and both sides are undulating, and there are some weeds, if it is in the daytime, it is impossible to hide people, but now it is night, even if there is a small generator in the turret, and the turret is also equipped with a lamp, if you are not particularly careful, it is not easy to find someone approaching.

The reconnaissance squad was ready behind the small dirt bag on the side of the small ditch, and when the searchlight on the turret swept over the side of the small ditch, Shi Qiang immediately jumped up from behind the small dirt bag, then lowered his body, and quickly ran forward along the small ditch, and ran to a depression in the middle of the ditch in a blink of an eye, and quickly stuck his body tightly into the ditch before the searchlight moved over.

The bright light quickly moved again, and Shi Qiang immediately jumped up again, and quickly rushed through the open area of dozens of meters along the small ditch at a very fast speed, and arrived under the wall of the barracks behind the turret.

At the same time as Shi Qiang jumped up, Jian Chen also quickly jumped up from behind the small dirt bag, and rushed to the location where Shi Qiang was hiding just now before the searchlight moved over.

After the searchlight moved for the third time, Liu Tianshu quickly rushed to the depression in the middle of the ditch, and then quickly rushed to meet Shi Qiang and Chen Jian under the wall with the help of the searchlight.

Half an hour later, all the other fighters of the reconnaissance squad except Shi Hu successfully passed through this open field and rushed to the wall under the turret.

Jin Zhenbiao, who was guarding in the distance, saw that the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad were agile and the whole action was extremely accurate, and in the blink of an eye, he quietly rushed to the opposite side of the turret, and he was already shocked in his heart.

Seeing that the soldiers were all under the wall, Liu Tianshu made a gesture to Hao Mengxuan, who immediately took out a dagger, quickly removed the mortar from the cracks in the bricks of the wall, and gently removed a brick after a while.

As the first brick was removed, Hao Mengxuan dug a hole in the wall.

When the devil built the stronghold of the turret, he was worried about being attacked by the Eighth Road, so he set up barbed wire on the wall, and there were some loud things hanging on it, Liu Tianshu chose the location of the hole, the location of the toilet in the corner of the stronghold.

Although they could not get close to reconnoiter during the day, Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan used Hong Feihu's telescope to get a general understanding of the construction of the Xiaozhugou stronghold in the mountains and forests in the distance, and also estimated the purpose of the buildings inside.

Seeing the entrance of the cave taken out, Hao Mengxuan listened intently for a while, made sure that there was no sound inside, and immediately sped up his speed, and when the entrance of the cave could drill into a person, Shi Qiang and Chen Jian immediately drilled into it and were on guard inside.

Hao Mengxuan, with the help of other fighters, quickly made the entrance of the cave bigger, and then Liu Tianshu took the rest of the soldiers and followed him into the toilet.

At this moment, a drunken puppet army walked in with a swaying help of the same drunk devil.

Liu Tianshu saw the two of them walking towards the toilet, and immediately felt overjoyed, this is really if you want to doze off, someone will send a pillow.

After making a hands-on gesture to Chen Jian and Shi Qiang, Chen Jian and Shi Qiang immediately moved to the door, the devil and the puppet army didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to hide in the toilet, the two of them entered the toilet, and Chen Jian and Shi Qiang grabbed their heads from behind and twisted them hard, and they immediately lost their breath before they were drunk.

"Take off your clothes, Shi Qiang and I will change." Liu Tianshu said in a low voice.

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and took off the clothes on the devil and the puppet army, Liu Tianshu took the devil's costume and quickly put it on, and Shi Qiang put the puppet army's costume on his body.

The two put their pistols and grenades in their waists, and then supported each other and walked towards the gate of the turret, as for Chen Jian, he took Sun Bao and two other soldiers to prepare to attack the turret, while Hao Mengxuan took the other two team members, ready to destroy the enemy left in the barracks.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang staggered to the side of the turret, and the two puppet soldiers standing there saw them coming, and a smile appeared on their faces.

It's just that Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang both lowered their heads, and came from the toilet on the other side of the barracks, they didn't suspect it at all, and when the two of them got closer, they found that the situation didn't seem right.

It's a pity that at this time, Shi Qiang and Liu Tianshu had walked to their side less than two meters, and when they saw the surprise on the faces of the two puppet soldiers, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang pounced suddenly, and the dagger in their hands stabbed into the hearts of the two puppet soldiers.

Shi Qiang has been trained by Liu Tianshu, although this kind of hand-to-hand combat skills cannot be regarded as perfect, but it is also extremely sharp, and he directly stabbed the heart of the puppet army with only one knife, and the exclamation from the mouth of the puppet army was only two muffled snorts under the tight cover of the big hand.

Killing the two puppet soldiers, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang leaned against the door of the two puppet soldiers, and then quickly rushed into the turret. (To be continued.) )
