Yu Chunpu, formerly known as Yu Shousheng, is a native of Donglanjiazhuang Village, Chengxi Town, Rongcheng County, when the devil was sweeping in Jiaodong, Yu Shousheng, who was only 20 years old, participated in the Eighth Route Army and became a soldier of a regiment, a battalion and a company of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade.

When I became the Eighth Route Army, everything was new, shouting "one, two, one" had to step first on the left leg and then on the right leg, crawl to the ground and lie down, crawl and walk and crawl forward, and it was divided into two kinds: low-profile crawling forward and high-posture crawling forward, Yu Shousheng and his comrades-in-arms were trained by the old Red Army company and platoon commander who were transferred from the Seventh Brigade to the end of the day.

The battle was so tense, the little devil kept chasing after his ass, and his comrades were constantly injured and sacrificed. That's it, the troops have to learn culture after camping every day, they have to carry water and sweep the floor when they live in the villagers' homes, they have to call their aunts and uncles when they open and close their mouths, and they must not use dirty words when they speak.

This is nothing, what especially makes Yu Shousheng puzzled is that such a simple problem as is also so complicated by the Eighth Route Army. The villagers have toilets at home, and when they leave, they can pick up the dung from the toilet and go to the ground. It's troublesome to camp in the wilderness, there is no one in the crop field and the field, just squat there and pull it up, just lift your pants and leave, but no, the company commander, instructor, and platoon commander are so verbose that they have to dig toilets, and the troops have to bury them with soil when they set off, leaving no traces. In the words of the platoon commander, this is the old tradition of the Red Eighteenth Regiment, which not only does not cause trouble for the fellow countrymen, but also prevents the enemy from discovering the whereabouts of the troops, killing two birds with one stone.

Not to mention, in this way, the Eighth Route Army and the villagers really became a family. The previous anti-sweeping battle was so brutal, but the comrades-in-arms dared to fight hard, because if they were wounded, they did not have to be afraid, the villagers would hide the wounded who had no time to transfer until they were recovered and returned to the army.

Although he was bitter and tired, and there was still the danger of sacrifice at any time, Yu Shousheng, who had not been in the army for a long time, still persevered. He understood that the Eighth Route Army was a team of the common people, and it was a team that really resisted the Japanese. This contingent is highly disciplined and has lofty ideals, and in the future, it will definitely drive out the devils and establish a new China. After thinking about this truth, Yu Shousheng felt that he was energetic in training, energetic in fighting devils, and even had the strength to call uncles and aunts to his fellow villagers.

This person must have a surname for everything. Although Yu Shousheng is a recruit, he has a cultural foundation, and he received simple training from a military instructor sent by Han Fuqu when he was in school, and he learns everything quickly. In particular, he remembered the shooting essentials taught by the platoon commander clearly, and when he hit the target with 10 rounds of live ammunition, he actually hit 90 rings and went directly to the battlefield.

Until now, Yu Shousheng still remembers the scene of killing the little devil for the first time. At that time, the company commander and the whole company had just moved to a small ravine in Kunyu Mountain, and the cooking squad had just set up a pot with a few stones, ready to cook on a fire, so that the soldiers who had been gnawing dry food for several days could drink hot soup, when gunshots were heard outside the mountain. The sentry reported that a group of devils was chasing the fleeing fellow and was chasing in the direction of the ravine.

The company commander immediately gave the order to fight, and the whole company quickly seized the high ground on both sides of the small ravine. Yu Shousheng looked down the mountain, in front of him was a group of fellow villagers, who looked like there were one or two hundred people, stumbling towards the small ravine, and behind them were more than 30 little devils and 100 puppet soldiers, shouting and shooting. Seeing that the villagers ran into the ravine, the little devils and the puppet army also chased after them, and the company commander shouted "hit", and the machine guns in the company rang out.

At that time, Yu Shousheng was aiming at a puppet army officer, who was skinny and skinny, and at first glance he was a big smoker, waving a pistol. As a result, the aim was accurate, but when the fire was fired, his hand trembled, and the bullet did not know where it flew.

Yu Shousheng's face flushed, he scolded himself in his heart, spittle, wiped it in his palm, and aimed again. This time, he still wants to beat the puppet army officer. Yu Shousheng saw it clearly, as soon as the gun of the Eighth Route Army rang out, the pseudo-officer hid behind, still waving his pistol and shouting. This time, Yu Shousheng's hands were no longer shaking, according to the platoon commander's teaching, three points and one line, and the decisive shot, with a "bang", the bullet flew towards the officer's head. As a result, the puppet officer shrank his head and the bullet was empty.

After firing two empty guns in succession, the platoon commander's low reprimand voice came from his ears: "Aim and shoot, don't waste bullets!" ”

Yu Shousheng's heart was excited, the troops fought continuously, it was difficult to supply, how precious the bullets were, if the platoon commander was allowed to fight, these two bullets would be the two lives of the devil, and he was good, and he released two empty guns in a row.

Yu Shousheng was not convinced, and settled down. This time he won't beat the puppet army officer, that kid is a big smoker, he is most afraid of death, he is cunning and cunning, it is better to hide, not to fight. Yu Shousheng pointed his gun at the commander of the little devil, because the guy was holding a command knife and had a big target.

In order for a recruit to become a veteran, he has to go through several tough battles. After Yu Shousheng joined the army, all the units of the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade where he belonged were all units formed by the Jiaodong Uprising of our party, with a high composition of recruits and weak combat effectiveness. Recruits like Yu Shousheng are the objects of protection of the troops, and under normal circumstances, the team leader is on the side to protect them on the battlefield, in the hope that they can grow up as soon as possible and become the backbone of the battle. Therefore, although the troops were fighting non-stop, Yu Shousheng and his recruit comrades rarely had the opportunity to shoot. Yu Shousheng was also allowed to fight because of his good target shooting performance.

This time, Yu Shousheng saw clearly that the little devil officer was hiding behind a rock, and there was nothing he could do with machine guns and rifles, unless he was blown up with a grenadier. But after continuous fighting, grenadiers are particularly valuable, and the company commander will generally let the grenadiers deal with the devil's machine guns and grenadiers, and will not let the grenadier go against the devil's individual soldiers. Yu Shousheng is not detailed, the devil officer will always hide behind the rock, he is the battlefield commander, and he will inevitably show his head to observe the situation.

Yu Shousheng's judgment was also right and wrong, what was right was that the devil officer did show up, and what was wrong was that the devil officer did not observe the battlefield situation, but ordered a retreat. After all, Yu Shousheng is still a recruit and does not know how to grasp the battlefield situation. The little devil led the puppet army to pursue the fleeing people in a hurry, and suddenly encountered a blockade, and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was very strong. Moreover, the terrain is unfamiliar, the enemy's situation is unknown, and the casualties are relatively large in the face of sudden blows, and if we wait any longer, it is very likely that the Eighth Route Army will outflank them from both sides, and we will not be able to leave if we want to. In this case, if the devil commander does not order a retreat, he will really become a pig's head from the army non-commissioned officer school.

After the devil officer ordered the retreat, he led the devil puppet army to bend down and face the direction of the Eighth Route Army, and slowly retreated back under the cover of the terrain.

Yu Shousheng was waiting for this moment, his Type 38 rifle had firmly put the chest of the devil commander into the door, and the platoon commander said that this Type 38 rifle has a characteristic, as long as the ruler is in the door, it will be accurate in one shot.

In this way, Yu Shousheng shot him with one shot, realizing his good start on the battlefield of resistance, killing the commander of this little devil with one shot, and the platoon commander praised him again and again. After the battle, he not only rewarded him with 20 rounds of ammunition, but also led him to find the shooting instructor in the regiment and asked him to open a small stove for him alone. The instructor was even more exaggerated, saying that he was like the sprout of spring, with an unlimited future, and the name Shousheng was too old-fashioned, so he simply changed his name to Yu Chunpu.

After the troops jumped out of the encirclement of the little devils from Jiaodong, they moved to the Jiaolai area and restored their base areas. Yu Chunpu itself is a child of Jiaodong, this Jiaolai area is connected to Jiaodong, the customs and habits are not much different, I saw the villagers open their mouths aunt, shut up the uncle, go all the way and call all the way, the villagers like this Jiaodong boy, call him Jiaodong little fellow, and the battlefield life is also smooth. But it didn't take long for the little devil to chase after him from Jiaodong, and the troops kept moving in order to avoid a decisive battle with the Yue army. It wasn't until he arrived in the Qinghe area that he gained a firm foothold and began to carry out the cold gun cold running movement.

After two months of cold guns and cold artillery, Yu Chunpu felt that he had become a veteran of the Eighth Route Army, but the company commander told him that the brigade headquarters had received an order, and after the next battle was over, the Jiaodong Reading Brigade would all be driven to the Yimeng Mountains to receive training from the training headquarters, and he should not be proud, just his marksmanship, that is, in the new troops such as the Jiaodong Reading Brigade, it is a bit outstanding, and it is the level of ordinary soldiers in the main force. And that's just shooting, and when it comes to other combat skills, he's a pure recruit. said that Yu Chunpu was discouraged in his heart.

In the past two days, the troops received orders and began to concentrate, and it seemed that a big battle was about to be fought. Sure enough, when the company commander and instructor returned from a meeting at the battalion headquarters, they asked each platoon to check the ammunition and hurry up the replenishment. Then they began to conceal during the day and march at night, all the way in the direction of Jiaoji Road.

On November 7, the day Wang Laohu attacked and occupied the county seat of Anqiu, Yu Chunpu followed the troops to Shijia Village near Niuzhuang Town in the north of Yidu County. This cattle village in the Ming Dynasty began to call Chongxin Township, the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty developed into a famous large market town in northern Lubei, the trade circulation industry is developed, it is one of the three major livestock markets in Shandong Province, and the common people are commonly known as Niuzhuang Daji. Shijia Village is also amazing, it is the birthplace of Lu Opera, and every household within a radius of 100 miles will hum two sentences. However, at this time, Lv Opera was not on the stage from the field for a long time, and the name was not called Lv Opera, and the local people commonly called it "Donkey Opera", mainly because Shi Dianyuan, the main founder of Lv Opera and the artist of the East Road Qin and calligraphy, once sang "Wang Xiao Rushing Feet" in disguise with a paper paste donkey, which was welcomed by the masses, and people called it Donkey Opera. Of course, it is okay for ordinary people to call it like this, but it is a bit unelegant for literati to call it like this. Therefore, when the donkey opera, which originated from the folk rap art Shandong Qinshu, was performed in Jinan Mansion and was a great success, the literati changed the donkey character to the character Lu and named it "Lv Opera". Some audiences who love Shandong Qinshu are very fond of this kind of opera that is born from Qinshu and different from Qinshu, so they call it "masquerade dulcimer" and "qin opera".

This Lv opera mainly performs small plays, and can also perform even stage plays, the basic tone is four flats, two plates, and the accompanying instruments are the pendant qin, dulcimer, erhu, and three strings, commonly known as the four major pieces of Lv opera.

Last time, when the main force of the Eighth Route Army returned to Qinghe after the 10th Division was completely annihilated on the Hebei and Lu borders, the "Boxer Class" and "Qinghe Class" of the Lv Opera Troupe rushed to Xiaoying Town to perform to celebrate. Now that the Eighth Route Army has arrived in Shijia Village, the birthplace of Lu Opera, the courtyards of every household in the village immediately resounded with cheerful Lu Opera singing.

When it was almost dark, Yu Chunpu and a female soldier of the county brigade arrived outside Niuzhuang Town, and the task given to him by the platoon commander was to lure out the devils and men in Niuzhuang Town and let the main force of the battalion eat them.

Yu Chunpu didn't know that the Battle of Jiaoji Road was about to start, but he knew that the platoon commander was asking him to fight the devil's cold gun and tease the devil Han to pursue. He will do this work, and the cold gun and cold artillery campaign for more than two months is a cold gun, followed by an ambush.

Yu Chunpu was afraid that the calf would not run fast after the start, so she stayed behind, and touched the entrance of the town with a gun by herself, glanced at the turret at the entrance of the town, tested the wind speed, stretched out the barrel, and aimed the crosshair at the plaster flag flagpole on the turret, and the flagpole was interrupted with one shot, and the devil's plaster flag fluttered and fell.

Taking advantage of the fact that the devil sentry was surprised, Yu Chunpu shot again, directly in the back of the devil sentry's head, and the devil sentry fell straight down.

Now it was lively, and all the puppet troops on the turret moved, and machine guns and rifles began to fire at the place where Yu Chunpu was hiding. Yu Chunpu hurriedly put away his gun and retreated, found the calf, and the two ran together.

After running for a while, Yu Chunpu looked back and saw that the little devil was not chasing them. How can this work, if the devil does not come out, it is equivalent to the failure of luring the enemy! Yu Chunpu and the calf had no choice but to fold back.

This time, Yu Chunpu moved his mind, and according to the platoon leader's explanation when he came, let the calf go out and cover behind himself.

Xiao Niu's marksmanship can't be compared with Yu Chunpu, she fired three shots, all of them on the brick wall of the devil's turret, and then deliberately straightened up and looked at it for a while, and then climbed where to aim and shoot.

The little devil is very lustful and rogue, and when he saw that the person who shot coldly turned out to be a female Tubalu, he got up at once. Immediately, three devils and two puppet soldiers ran out of the turret, and the military dogs were released, and the flower girl and the flower girl chased out with a bark in their mouths.

When Yu Chunpu in the back saw it, he shot it and directly knocked a puppet army running in front to the ground, which frightened the three devils and a puppet army to lie on the ground. Here, the little cow shouted away, shouting that his brother was untrustworthy, saying that he was covering her and asking her to beat the little devil to take revenge, but the brother scared the little devil, so that she couldn't fight, and she couldn't avenge her father and mother with her own hands. The calf shouted and fired another shot at the devil's turret, this time it stinked even more, and the bullet didn't know where it flew.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the people of Niuzhuang Town closed their doors, and the town was quiet, and the words of the little cow drifted into the ears of the devil interpreter from afar. Since this guy is willing to be a Han Jian, he naturally has to be a good man. Therefore, the captain of the devil squad stationed in Niuzhuang Town quickly understood that it was the brother and sister who came to seek revenge.

The captain of the devil squad rolled his eyes, and a flower girl came to disturb him, and he thought it was a trick of the Eighth Route Army, waiting for the imperial army to be fooled! Now that the situation has been clarified, it turns out that two young people who don't know the height of the sky have come to take revenge on the imperial army. Now it's okay, just catch them, and there will be a flower girl tonight.

The leader of the devil squad is worthy of being an officer of the army, and he does have a set. He commanded the machine gun cover, and ordered 12 devils to take a dozen puppet soldiers out of the turret, and the soldiers outflanked them in two ways. The soldiers all received clear orders from His Excellency the squad leader: kill the man and capture the woman alive.

As soon as he saw that the devil was chasing out, Yu Chunpu hurriedly shouted to the calf to retreat, and the two of them ran back along the main road. Behind him was the barking of the little devil army dog and the whistling of the little devil.

It didn't take long for the little devil to catch up. At this time, the platoon commander led the whole platoon to come up, and the puppet army opened the ping-pong pong.

When the leader of the devil squad saw that there was an ambush by the Eighth Route Army, he was frightened into a cold sweat. But after listening for a while, I found that there were not many Eighth Route Army ambushes, and there were only about thirty people listening to the gunshots, and there were no heavy weapons, as if it was a platoon. Moreover, it seems that this small unit of the Eighth Route Army is a Tu Eighth Route guerrilla force, and its marksmanship is not good, and after fighting for a long time, it actually let its soldiers lie down calmly and shoot at them.

The captain of the devil squad observed for a while and laughed in his heart, these dirt roads are really bold, just with this bit of strength and such combat effectiveness, they dare to attack and disturb, it is simply crazy, if they don't teach them a lesson, they don't know the power of the Imperial Army.

The captain of the devil squad who made up his mind was completely fooled this time, and it didn't take long for the little devils and puppet troops in the turret and yard to rush out and reinforcements came up.

How would the captain of the devil squad know that what was waiting for him was not a platoon, but a battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and the muzzles of the black holes were all pointed at the devils and puppet troops led by him.

After the leader of the devil squad and the little devil who was shooting at the Eighth Route Army converged, he immediately ordered the grenadier group and machine gun group to cover, leaving the devils who came out before to shoot at the Eighth Route Army to contain the Eighth Route Army. He himself commanded the puppet army to divide into two routes and outflank them from both flanks.

Without waiting for the army to divide its troops, the grenade grenades of the Eighth Route Army came over, and then, machine guns rang out all around, and then the Eighth Route Army surrounded from both flanks, and grenades and grenades also beckoned.

Only then did the captain of the devil team understand that he had been fooled again. But it was a little late to understand, the Eighth Route Army had already surrounded them, and it was impossible to withdraw to the turret, so the devil squad leader had to stubbornly command the soldiers to resist resolutely, trying to hold out for a while, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Of course, that is impossible, no matter how strong the little devil's combat effectiveness, shooting level, and bayonet level are high, it is impossible to escape under the firepower of the Eighth Route Army. There is only one way that awaits him, and that is death.

That night, Zeng Zhongsheng and Chen Dayong commanded two regiments, the Seventh Brigade, the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, and the Jiaodong Garrison Brigade, to intersperse detours in the area occupied by the little devils, to divide and encircle the devil's strongholds north of the Jiaoji line, and began to sweep through the strongholds of the Yue army in the Qinghe area. The Battle of Jiaoji Road officially began.

(To be continued)
