Chapter 769: Iron Fist (continued)

Shen Dingkun is also an old bandit, although he scolded Liu Futing for being unkind and using him as a gunman, but at this time, he also knew that it would drag on for a moment. No, Shen Dingkun shouted that someone took a horn modified from a foreign iron oil drum, stood on the running floor and shouted outside: "Listen to the Eighth Route Army outside, don't listen to other people's nonsense, we are not traitors, we are the anti-Japanese armed forces in Lingbi County." Our Commander Liu Futing and Liu Yimin, the division commander of the Eighth Route Army, are the same sect, and we write two Liu characters in the south with one stroke, which was one five hundred years ago. If you have something to discuss. If the Eighth Route Army is short of money and food, no matter how much, the brothers will have nothing to say, and they will definitely give it with both hands. ”

Shen Dingkun, a traitor, regarded the Eighth Route Army as a bandit who robbed homes and houses, and even took out the same way that the common people dealt with bandits to fool the Eighth Route Army.

Shen Dingkun had just finished speaking, and before he could retract his head from the shooting hole of the turret, a bullet flew silently, drilled through the tin horn barrel, and flew straight into Shen Dingkun's mouth.

Shen Dingkun didn't even shout out an ouch, and fell to the ground.

The puppet soldiers in the turret thought that Shen Dingkun had accidentally fallen by himself, so they hurriedly ran up to pull him. When I came to the front to see, where was the fall, this deputy commander who was usually a fox and a tiger, majestic, and did bad things turned out to be a dead ball, and the Eighth Route Army used a bomber, and the bullet exploded in Shen Dingkun's mouth, and the whole head was bloody from the inside out.

The small company commander who followed Shen Dingkun was Shen Dingkun's brother, and the two of them had been playing with mud with a bare ass since they were children, and their feelings were very deep. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had been killed silently, the guy's eyes were red, he shouted "Mom", picked up a light machine gun and turned it on outside. His fight was nothing, and the traitors in the Youji stronghold thought that they were fighting, and they started shooting with machine guns and rifles.

The down-to-earth and heroic Eighth Route Army who shouted was Wang Dahu, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, the head of the first brigade and the first regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the hero of a hundred battles. Originally, Wang Dahu didn't want to be verbose with the puppet army that these bandits had turned into, and wanted to take advantage of the night to touch Youji, quietly freeze the knives, and slaughter them one by one. But the brigade commander Gao Yuan didn't allow this, and had to launch an attack in broad daylight, so that those who were not determined and wanted to be traitors could see what the main force of the Eighth Route Army was and what would happen if they were traitors.

As soon as he saw the traitors in Youji's stronghold fighting back, Wang Dahu's face was full of smiles, and he said "dog traitors who don't know whether they are alive or dead", and they were about to order an attack.

Wang Xinyun, the political commissar on the side, stopped him and reminded him that in less than ten minutes, the Eighth Route Army had to be trustworthy.

Wang Dahu said hatefully: "What kind of credit do you talk about with these traitors? After all, the raised hand was still down.

In fact, Liu Futing's department had an anti-aircraft machine gun, and if they knew that they were using anti-aircraft machine guns to hit tanks, they would still pose a certain threat to the Eighth Route Army. However, bandits are bandits after all, and where would they know that anti-aircraft machine guns can be used to fight tanks horizontally? Even if you know, there are not necessarily armor-piercing bullets.

The puppet army is in full swing, but the Eighth Route Army is not moving at all. Except for the dozen tanks and the cannon barrels far away, the puppet army could not see the appearance of the Eighth Route Army launching an attack. Slowly, the gunfire stopped.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the captains and squadron leaders of the puppet army found out that they were bitter! In just a few moments, the machine gunners who fired were almost dead. It's really fucking strange, what kind of demon method did the Eighth Route Army use, it can kill people without seeing a gun, is it a ghost in broad daylight?

Needless to say, Shen Dingkun's brother, who shot first, died early, and his body was lying on the floor of the turret, side by side with Shen Dingkun, fulfilling their oath not to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day.

When the gunshots of the puppet soldiers came to mind, Liu Futing was calling the pseudo-county magistrate of the county seat, no, it was the pseudo-county governor Zhang Zibo. He didn't know Japanese, so he couldn't call the Japanese army directly, so he could only call Zhang Zibo. Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not cut the telephone line, and the phone could still get through. Liu Futing shouted on the phone for a long time before the phone was connected. To Liu Futing's relief, as soon as Zhang Zibo heard that the Eighth Route Army dared to attack Youji's stronghold, he swore that he would immediately report to the imperial army and let the imperial army send troops to reinforce it.

may be considering that he does not have a deep friendship with Zhang Zibo, and he may not be reliable, Liu Futing called Yin Ji's Lei Jiesan again and asked him to reinforce You Ji for the sake of decades of friendship.

If Liu Futing knew that the soldiers of the communication platoon of the First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were holding a telephone set on the telephone line to listen to his calls, it is estimated that he would be completely honest.

When Liu Futing came out, the puppet soldiers had stopped shooting and were carrying the corpses into the polder.

Liu Futing was annoyed when he saw it, pulled out his pistol and shouted: "Fucking stop, a few dead people are counted as a ball, all enter the fortifications, and give Lao Tzu a beating!" ”

A puppet soldier at the head said: "Commander, come and see, Deputy Commander Shen is dead, to lift or not to lift?" ”

When Liu Futing heard that Shen Dingkun was dead, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ran to see who Shen Dingkun was? Liu Futing asked: "How can Deputy Commander Shen die in the turret?" Did the Eighth Route Army open fire? ”

The puppet soldier said, "I don't know. The Eighth Route Army did not fire artillery, nor did it hear the gunshots, and the deputy commander of the god died! ”

Liu Futing hit him with an ear scraper: "Damn, can you speak?" Deputy Commander Shen is called death, what is a dead ball? Hurry up and carry it away! ”

As soon as the puppet soldiers carried Shen Dingkun's body away, the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold shouted again: "Listen to the puppet army brothers, the ten-minute time is about to arrive, and the brothers who have thought about it hurry up and grab the officer to receive the reward." As soon as the cannon of the Eighth Route Army sounds, the entire Youji stronghold will be reduced to ashes, and it will be too late to surrender. I'm starting to count! Ten, nine, eight, seven, five, four, three, two, one. Fire! ”

Liu Futing was still pondering whether the Eighth Route Army was intimidating or really fighting, when he heard an earth-shaking roar, and then the shells fell one after another, and the explosions one after another shook Liu Futing's ears numb. This old bandit and old traitor, only at this time did he know that the Eighth Route Army was really fighting, not to scare him, so he hurriedly drilled into a turret to command the resistance.

It is said that the fortifications of the Youji stronghold are strong, because in history, when the New Fourth Army attacked Youji, there was no heavy artillery, and it relied on grenades and explosives to attack the fortifications. In the eyes of the artillery fighters of the 1st Brigade, the brick and wood turrets and pillboxes of the Youji stronghold were simply not worth mentioning. No, it was just a salvo of flying thunder cannons, not only the wooden city and barbed wire outside the polder were blown to pieces, but even the polder wall was blown down in many places.

Immediately afterwards, the field artillery and infantry guns of the artillery position also roared, and only two salvos were fired, and the fireworks were already rolling in the Youji stronghold.

The puppet army in the stronghold was in chaos, and the first unlucky one was the puppet army on the wooden city outside. They were originally equipped with machine guns and rifles ready to block the Eighth Route Army that might charge, in their common sense, such an open shooting range, as long as the Eighth Route Army dared to go up, even if their marksmanship was not good, condescending, waiting for the rabbit, they could catch a few dead rats blindly, and there would always be blinded Eighth Route Army crashing into their muzzles. Unexpectedly, the charging infantry of the Eighth Route Army were out of their range, and the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army arrived first, and a burst of artillery bombardment fell, not only was the wooden city blown up by the explosives fired by the shells and flying thunder cannons, but also ignited a fire, and these puppet troops could only struggle in the flames. Of course, it is impossible to run out, the Eighth Route Army can quietly shoot the machine gunners who run upstairs, and these puppet soldiers who fled with fire on their backs are naturally considered targets.

Then the unfortunate ones were the puppet army that relied on the polder wall to defend themselves. In their past combat experience, such a high polder wall is a natural fortification, which cannot be penetrated by rifles and machine guns, and cannot be climbed by people.

What the puppet army didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army did use an explosive package, but this explosive package was not rushed up and blasted by people, but was fired like a cannonball. Obediently, my mother, when will the explosives bag be used as a cannonball?

Just when the puppet army was puzzled, the polder wall was blown down and some gaps were blown down, not to mention the dead, it was all bleeding. The living ones were blown up with a dirty face, and they were brave enough to wipe the dirt off their heads, and continued to shoot while scolding. Those who were not so brave shouted "The wind is tight, pull and hoo", and dragged the gun to the large and small polders in the polder.

The tanks of the Eighth Route Army began to bombard closely, the turret turned, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the gap in the polder wall, and as the shells were fired, the polder wall collapsed one after another. You Ji opened his mind to the Eighth Route Army.

After the firing range was opened, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army began to roll call the turrets and pillboxes in the Youji stronghold, and the brick and wood turrets collapsed with one shot, or at most two shots. The bunker is simpler, as long as it is discovered by the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, a single shell will end the resistance in the bunker.

When have the puppet soldiers of Liu Futing's department seen this kind of formation, they were originally bandits, and the targets of the battle were all unarmed ordinary people, and they were a group of goods who ate soft and were afraid of hard. At the beginning, under the shouts of the officers, the puppet soldiers could still muster up Yu Yong and play ping-pong for a while. After the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire, the puppet soldiers couldn't bear it, and the timid began to cry for their fathers and mothers. The bold can also curse and shoot with a grin. When the Eighth Route Army laid wooden planks on the polders and the large army rushed into Youji, everyone knew that the general trend had gone. The puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to be alive began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and the bolder ones, three or two made a look, and turned around and pressed the squad leader and platoon leader. One of the captains saw that something was wrong, grabbed a machine gun and set it on fire, knocking out his own soldiers. This offended the public and was soon beaten into a hornet's nest.

If there is still shooting in the bunker that has slipped through the net, the soldiers of the first regiment will directly give him a rocket and directly turn the bunker into a fireball.

To tell the truth, the bandits in northeast Anhui and northern Jiangsu are too far behind the beards in Northeast China, Xiangma in Shandong, and swordsmen in Henan and Western Henan. Because it is located in the Great Plains, it is impossible to occupy the mountains for a long time, so they can only do some things such as kidnapping tickets and robbing houses, and there is no opportunity for the competition between officials and soldiers with real swords and guns. In a word, it's all a bunch of cowards.

The battle was not fierce at all, and to deal with such a rabble with artillery fire of this magnitude, to be honest, was a bit too wasteful and extravagant.

Liu Futing was also dug out of the ruins of the collapsed turret by the soldiers. This guy, whose life is so big, didn't even die, but was knocked out by a collapsed wooden beam.

Wang Dahu walked into Youji, where the soldiers were counting the prisoners, extinguishing the fire, and cleaning up Liu Futing's assets.

Seeing the collapse of Liu Futing's bandits, who had been doing evil for many years, the people in Youji Town were liberated, and all the old and young, men and women, poured up.

Looking at the people of Youji, Wang Dahu couldn't believe his eyes, this is the great plain of northeastern Anhui where grain, cotton, fish and shrimp are full, but the common people are not clothed, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is also walking barefoot. Needless to say, it was all done by Liu Futing. And in Liu Futing's barn and warehouse, there are full of grain, barns, and horses of cotton cloth and silk satin.

Wang Dahu immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain and relieve the masses.

Because Liu Futing is a habitual bandit for many years, and You Ji is his old nest, the general troops without heavy artillery can't do anything about his fortifications, this guy stores all the money and property he gets from eating all directions here, and the capture of the troops is very large. Not to mention anything else, just taking and selling a bunch of jewelry from Liu Futing's aunt and wife is probably enough for the poor families in Youji Village to live a comfortable life.

The comrades of the newly established Lingbi County Party Committee suggested to Wang Dahu that Liu Futing's gang be tried on the spot and that those who committed the most heinous crimes be shot, and at the same time asked the main force to support part of the Lingbi County Party Committee and support the establishment of the Lingbi County Brigade with the weapons and ammunition seized from Liu Futing's department.

Wang Dahu said to Dai Shangyi, the newly appointed member of the Lingbi County Party Committee: "You can choose weapons and ammunition at will, and leave a small part of the money for you and hand it over to the Northeast Anhui Special Committee for funding." In addition to relieving the masses, the rest of the fortified walls were cleared and used as military rations. In addition to leaving the cloth for the county brigade and the armed forces of the Northeast Anhui Special Committee to make military uniforms, the surplus was distributed to the villagers as much as possible. The good cloth was handed over to the Northeast Anhui Special Committee and let them sell it to serve as funds. I will take some of the good silk and make costumes for the division art troupe and the brigade art troupe. Other weapons, ammunition, and money were handed over to the baggage company and taken away, and handed over to the divisional logistics headquarters for unified disposal. ”

Wang Dahu still had a task, and he was in a hurry to leave, so he left a company to help the Lingbi County Party Committee form a county brigade, and quickly caught up with the troops after completing the task.

Dai Shangyi was an anxious man, and he knew that the first regiment was the main force of our army, and the company left by Wang Dahu could only cooperate with him for a short time, and it was impossible for it to be assigned to the Lingbi County Party Committee for use. Therefore, he separated the cadres and led the soldiers to several surrounding villages to mobilize the masses, opening warehouses to release grain, distributing relief cotton cloth, and recruiting people from the county brigade at the same time. He also organized people to interrogate Liu Futing and the captured puppet officers and soldiers, and passed the test one by one. In this trial, all the evidence of Liu Futing's crime of colluding with Japanese criminals and being willing to be a traitor has been collected, and the crimes of Liu Futing and his accomplices who have harmed the people for so many years have also been collected.

Because the main force in the south swept through the northeast of Anhui with great fanfare, and there was a main force company of the first regiment of the sect with one as ten, Dai Shangyi was not afraid that the Japanese puppet army that had slipped through the net would come to make trouble, and a public trial meeting was held in Youji that night. When the people of the villages around Youji learned that Liu Futing and his gang were going to be tried publicly, they rushed to Youji early with torches.

When the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army escorted Liu Futing and others to the venue, the venue was boiling, and if the soldiers hadn't set up a guard early, the villagers would probably have rushed up to beat the gang of bandits to death.

Dai Shangyi delivered a mobilization speech on behalf of the Lingbi County CPC Committee and told the villagers about the idea of uniting to resist Japan.

In fact, the consciousness of the masses in the Lingbi area was very high, and in 1929, Dai Wensheng, an early member of Lingbi, returned to his hometown to propagate the party's ideas and established the first party group. Later, a number of grassroots organizations such as the Xiaowu family party branch were established in Lingbi, and when the Lingbi Independent District Committee was established, they began to organize the masses to carry out struggles. The largest was the anti-tobacco donation riot held on August 2, 1932, when more than 10,000 peasants from Youji, Yugou, Gaolou, Dalu, Hugou, Fengmiao, Yinji, and Shatan participated in the riot. It was only later that the revolution was frantically suppressed, and the party's strength was greatly damaged.

With such a mass base, coupled with the fact that the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrived here and swept away the Japanese puppet forces, the future development of the anti-Japanese situation in Lingbi can be imagined.

After Dai Shangyi finished speaking, he read out the charges against Liu Futing and others, and then, in the name of the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Anhui Office of the New Fourth Army, he pronounced the death sentence of Liu Futing, 15 officers who were habitual bandits, and members of eight black death squads, and immediately executed them.

The soldiers dragged Liu Futing and others to the edge of the polder, and with a burst of gunfire, Liu Futing and others, who were habitual bandits and traitors in Lingbei, ended their shameful lives.

As soon as the villagers saw that Liu Futing and others were really shot, they immediately followed the cadres and soldiers to shout the slogan of long live and long live the Eighth Route Army!

After shouting the slogan, the public trial meeting was already over. To Dai Shangyi's surprise, there was an accident at this time, an old man trembled to the center of the venue, pulled up a prisoner who was sitting on the ground with his head down, and said that this guy killed his son and grandson, raped and killed his daughter-in-law, and should also be shot. Request, the Eighth Route Army gave him the master.

Dai Shangyi immediately ordered this guy to be arrested and asked other fellow villagers to testify whether it was true.

This testimony does not matter, from among the captives there are 160 habitual bandits who have committed homicides. Some of these guys deny it in every way, and some of them are very single, and they admit it very happily. But they all insisted that they had surrendered, and the Eighth Route Army had long had a policy of not killing prisoners. If it weren't for this policy, death would not have surrendered.

Dai Shangyi listened to the defense of these guys, and replied that if he did not kill prisoners, he would not kill those prisoners who did not have the anger of the people, like these habitual bandits who plagued ordinary people, killed people, and kidnapped tickets for extortion, and the Eighth Route Army caught one and killed one another.

This Dai Shangyi was really simple enough, immediately took a pen and paper, wrote a verdict, and sentenced these 160 habitual bandits to death.

At this moment, the night of Youji was completely boiling, and the slogans of long live and long live the Eighth Route Army were everywhere. Many young students signed up to join the army on the spot, and the Lingbi County Brigade soon pulled up a team of 500 people, just waiting for military training.
