Chapter 21 Bloody Wind and Bloody Rain, Defeated Miaozhipu
This time, the old devil Yamamoto was so angry that he was about to go crazy, and the Kuomintang's Ganbei Anti-Enemy Einsatzgruppen was not only not wiped out, but they in turn blew up their own munitions depot, killing and wounding hundreds of soldiers. The most annoying thing is that the three Han annihilation Wang Guorui, Luo Jinzhang, and Zhang Shixiong who he raised were all sniped one after another. Where can I find such a capable lackey now? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and called all the unruly subordinates over and poured all his resentment on them.
After a while of scolding and scolding, the anger in his heart subsided a little. He sat down in his chair tiredly and said coldly to Yoshino:
"Yoshino-kun, your analysis of the current situation last time was indeed very reasonable. But we still let the enemy take advantage of us. Zhang Shixiong still couldn't escape, and he was killed by the enemy in front of you. Now, what do you think? ”
"Your Excellency Commander, Zhang Shixiong's death is indeed caused by my serious dereliction of duty, please punish me." Yoshino said in fear.
"It doesn't matter if a dog dies, as long as we learn our lesson seriously and do our best for His Majesty the Emperor. What do you say we should do now? Yamamoto leaned back in his chair and squinted at Yoshino.
"Your Excellency, from the humble point of view, it is imperative that we immediately appoint a new county magistrate, find a new police chief and a new president of the Chamber of Commerce, and let the political axe agency operate as soon as possible, so that these so-called Han Jianhao can continue to work for us." Yoshino's eyes showed a fierce light, "Let those Shina people rule the Shina people for us." There are many Han annihilations in China, let's see if those resistance elements can kill all these Han annihilations. ”
"How will you deal with the Kuomintang Einsatzgruppen?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is indeed a well-equipped and well-trained team, and there are quite a few top marksmen, that is, snipers, and this team has strong combat effectiveness. If I'm not mistaken, they should have at least 400 people. Truth be told, their attack was a classic battle. Sun Tzu's art of war, such as striking the east and attacking the west, encircling the point to send reinforcements, and the virtual and the real, is very skillful and ingenious. In particular, the final strategy of 'going for the best policy' has to be admired. After the war, I went to investigate the various units participating in the battle, but no one knew how the troops, as many as three or four hundred men, had quietly withdrawn after completing the battle in our hinterland. It's just that some people suspect that they saw several small units hurrying behind them on the way to support the munitions depot, but then somehow they disappeared, and it is likely that those people are the enemy's Einsatzgruppen. That's right, I deduced that they were disguised as our team, and in the confusion, slipped out from under our noses. This fully shows that the opponent we are facing is indeed a master, bold and careful, his plan is thorough, and his meticulousness is simply incredible, beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Because we used to think with the heart of ordinary people, we always fell short and lost at his hands. However, from now on, we have to think, plan, and act like him, and perhaps we can find them and destroy them completely. Yoshino said confidently.
"Yo West, Yo West. Yoshino-kun, you're thinking so carefully. How will you and your super-high class deal with them? ”
"A team of three or four hundred people can't just run away like this, they want to eat and drink, and they have to spy on our intelligence, and the fox always has to show its tail. We must be loose and tight, absolutely not let go of anything suspicious, and start with their food and shelter, I don't believe it, they will not eat or drink from now on, as long as they show a little clue, we will never let go. We are digging three feet into the ground in Jiujiang, and we are going to dig them out. Yoshino clenched his fists and said fiercely.
Just after the Lantern Festival, the devil unexpectedly quickly reappointed the pseudo county magistrate, this person was Wu Yingqi, the first president of the "Maintenance Association" when the devil occupied Jiujiang.
Speaking of this person, everyone in Jiujiang knows about it. Wu Yingqi was originally an orphan, but was later taken in by a monk of the Iron Buddha Temple and taken to the temple to become a little monk who burned the fire. But he was not idle in the temple, he was bullied since he was a child, and he followed the masters and brothers to play boxing and practice sticks since he entered the temple. Coupled with diligence, it doesn't take a few years to practice a high-quality martial arts. He was tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and he was powerful. Since the incense of the Iron Buddha Temple is not very good, he has returned the customs, opened in the Jiujiang area, set up a martial arts hall, and accepted a group of ruffians and hooligans as his sworn friends, plus there are a group of apprentices under him, so in this area of Jiujiang, no one dares or is unwilling to provoke him. Before the devil occupied Jiujiang, he was a bully in Jiujiang, and the police chief Zhang Shixiong, who had just been killed by the special forces, was his second brother.
Originally, after the devil occupied Jiujiang, he became the president of the "maintenance association", and the devil originally planned to make him a pseudo county magistrate, but considering that his reputation in Jiujiang was too bad, therefore, after the dissolution of the "maintenance association", he was only given a nominal name as the president of the "Jiujiang Autonomous Association", and he was also given a monthly allowance of 100 yuan. As a result, Wu Yingqi didn't bother to bother with the devil, and continued to live his idle cloud and crane-like overlord. The devil is also up to him, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for them.
Zhang Shixiong's death deeply stimulated Wu Yingqi, and when Yoshino found him, he agreed to be the pseudo-county magistrate of the devil. He promoted his nemesis Peng Fugui of Pengjiahe as the chief of police, and arranged his apprentice Liu Huanteng as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He also threatened everywhere to avenge his brother Zhang Shixiong. Yoshino agreed to Wu Yingqi's conditions, and he knew that Wu Yingqi's approach was exactly what he wanted to see, because he knew that it would definitely not be long before the Einsatzgruppen would find his door.
Liu Huanteng, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was more than three points ruthless compared to Luo Jinzhang, and his first fire as a new official was to ask each shop to pay donations ranging from 50 yuan to 500 yuan according to the size of its operation, saying that it was to make up for the robbed grain for the imperial army. As soon as the news came out, the entire Jiujiang City was in a ruckus, everyone complained, and there was a lot of scolding everywhere.
After sniping Zhang Shixiong, Xiao Xiong and the others spent the New Year in a down-to-earth manner, but they never thought that the newly appointed Wu Yingqi and his gang would even more brutalize the people than Wang Guorui and them, and even clamored to avenge Zhang Shixiong.
When the members of the Einsatzgruppen heard the news, they were filled with righteous indignation one by one, shouting that they were about to teach these Han Annihilators a lesson. Xiao Xiong also decided to send team members to collect information about Wu Yingqi and his group, and then make plans.
The Spring Festival is not over yet, so there is still an endless stream of customers on the pier who take boats to visit relatives and friends. A few villagers who came by boat from Xiaochikou in Huangmei County across the river were stopped by several policemen as soon as they got off the boat, saying that they wanted to pay a fee for crossing the river. The villagers have never heard of any fees to cross the river by boat, but they just don't give it. As a result, Liu Huanteng's subordinates arrested them and took them to the police station. Not only did they pay the river crossing fee and pay fines, but they were also beaten.
This incident aroused the righteous indignation of the workers working on the docks, and everyone talked about it. One of the workers, Luo Pingfan, was particularly excited, saying:
"Why do you have to pay the river crossing fee? The Yangtze River is not theirs. When Wang Guorui was the county magistrate, he didn't charge any river crossing fees, didn't they just rob him? Everyone doesn't see what they do. ”
"Tell them not to pay!" Everyone was indignant, shouting, and saying that they would go to the county magistrate for evaluation.
The workers' arguments were soon reported to the police chief, Peng Fugui, who had been planted on the docks, and he sent Luo Pingfan and those close to him to spy on him. It turned out that this person turned out to be from Shilipu Xiao's father's family, and somehow came to work on the dock. Peng Fugui, who was very suspicious, reported the situation to Yoshino.
The people of the Xiao family came to the dock to work as workers, why? Was it sent by Daddy Xiao, or was it someone else? Yoshino felt that there must be a mystery in it. He instructed Peng Fugui to let his subordinates not to alarm Luo Pingfan and the people around him, but to constantly monitor their every move.
He decided to use a poisonous trick to fish out the high-ranking people hiding behind him and see who they were.
The next morning, a large cargo ship docked at the dock from the upstream direction, loaded with wooden boxes with labels on them. The escort devils asked the workers on the dock to carry the wooden boxes from the ship to the warehouse, and the workers had to tell the workers to be careful every time they moved.
Luo Pingfan moved for a while, feeling that the box was not too heavy, but he didn't know what it contained. In the warehouse, he took advantage of the fact that the guards were not paying attention, quickly tore off a label from the box, and then hurriedly put it into the pocket of his pants. But he didn't know that his every move had already been targeted.
At noon, it's time for dinner. Luo Pingfan walked out of the dock with everyone.
As soon as he got out of the dock, he called a rickshaw that he had been waiting for a long time and headed straight for Miaozhipu. Far behind their rickshaw, a car followed unhurriedly.
Xiao Xiong took the label handed to him by Luo Pingfan, and it was all written in words. He took a closer look and saw that it was written "Product name: penicillin." Starting station: Hankou Station - Nanchang North Station. ”
It turned out to be all medicines. That's great! Xiao Xiong patted Luo Pingfan's shoulder and said:
"Brother Luo, you are amazing. These boxes contained all medical supplies, which were shipped to Nanchang. You go back first and pay close attention to the movement of this batch of medicines. Well, stay safe on the road. ”
"Okay, young master."
Luo Pingfan got out of Miaozhipu and got on the rickshaw and went straight to Jiujiang.
Xiao Xiong, who received the information, was very excited, and now the war between the armies of the two sides in central and northwest Jiangxi is in a state of stalemate, and our army is completely on the defensive, while the army is actively preparing for the next battle. Therefore, the news that has been received from various places in recent times is that the army is mobilizing men, horses, ammunition, and so on in the direction of Jiangxi. The previous time the Einsatzgruppen feinted to attack the quartermaster depot of the Jiujiang devils, and detonated the ammunition by mistake, as a result, the ammunition depot was destroyed, and the unexpected results were obtained.
Now, the devils have brought medicine from Wuhan, which is also a war readiness item urgently needed by both the enemy and us. Now that this batch of medicines has been transported to Jiujiang and let us know, we will intercept it and send these precious medicines to our troops. If it can't be intercepted, it's better to destroy it than to let the devil transport it away, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiong immediately called Bai Yu and asked him to inform all the troops to immediately concentrate in the direction of Miaozhipu and prepare for battle. At the same time, let his subordinates notify Gao Qixing, Xiong Qiang and the two captains to immediately hold a combat meeting.
Yoshino heard the report of his spies, and Luo Pingfan didn't go to Shilipu but went directly to Miaozhipu, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. The people under him hurriedly told him that last year, the young master of Daddy Xiao's family married the young lady of Daddy Bai's family, the young master's name is Xiao Xiong, and the young lady's name is Bai Yu. The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are both students who graduated from Wuhan University. It is very likely that Xiao Xiong is in Bai Yu's house in Miaozhipu.
Yoshino asked, "So, this Luo Pingfan must have gone to find Xiao Xiong?" Could it be that Xiao Xiong is a resistant? Is it the right person? ”
Regardless of whether he Xiao Xiong is a resistor or not, just try it and find out. He immediately ordered and told his subordinates to let Luo Pingfan know that the goods would be shipped away tomorrow and see if he could spread the news. At the same time, send more people to nail Xiao Xiong of Miaozhipu.
After receiving Luo Pingfan's second piece of information, Xiao Xiong immediately ordered that the team would start operating in the middle of the night tonight, and the devils must not be allowed to transport this batch of goods away.
Yoshino knew that Luo Pingfan had sent a second piece of information. He was overjoyed when he confirmed that it was very likely that Xiao Xiong and his Einsatzgruppen were hiding in the area of Miaozhipu. He felt that the time had come for him to make meritorious contributions.
Yoshino reported the news to Commander Yamamoto, and the old devil immediately ordered Yoshino to serve as the commander of the operation, with full command of the gendarmerie and the special high school to carry out the operation, and also transferred two squadrons of devils to be responsible for reinforcements. Yoshino was asked to start attacking in the evening before the enemy moved, and to destroy all the resistance.
Although it was early spring, the night in Lushan still came relatively early. It wasn't even five o'clock in the afternoon, and the night was about to start closing. The snow on the slopes and on the tips of the trees has not yet completely melted, adding to the beauty of the mountains. The creek in Lushan never freezes in winter, and the clear stream flows all year round, until it flows into the Yangtze River not far away.
Miaozhipu is located on the west side of the road from Jiujiang to Lianhuadong, about two miles away from the road. It is surrounded by high mountains on three sides to the south, west and north, and only the east side is a slightly flat field, with a road leading to the village in the middle, along which there is a small stream that leads to the Longkai River next to the road.
More than 200 people from the special high school and the gendarmerie brought by Yoshino and Motoyama quietly came to the entrance of the village not far from the entrance of Myozhipu, and he let the troops hide. The devils set up mortars on the high ground opposite the entrance to the village. And on the road not far away, there are still two squadrons of devils guarding in the two directions leading to Jiujiang City and Lianhuadong, and they are ready to reinforce Yoshino at any time. They are ready to wipe out Xiao Xiong's team.
Xiao Xiong and Minghua's hunter team stationed at Miaozhipu were about 100 people. After they had dinner, Xiao Xiong asked Xiong Qiang to gather the troops and told everyone to check the weapons and equipment and prepare to set off later.
Suddenly, Black Tiger and Erhuang, who were quietly staying in the courtyard, prick up their ears vigilantly, and a whining sound came out of their throats. Minghua gently patted the black tiger and untied the rope around their necks. The two hounds took Minghua and more than 10 team members and ran quickly towards the entrance of the village.
There were two sentry posts next to the low wall at the entrance of the village, one bright and one dark, and Minghua asked them if they had noticed anything unusual, and both sentries said that everything was normal. However, Minghua has absolute trust in these two hounds. He patted Black Tiger and Erhuang on the back, pointed to the front of the village entrance and waved his hand, and the two hounds rushed over like arrows.
Soon, several gunshots rang out not far from the entrance of the village, breaking the silence of Miaozhipu at dusk, and then there was the roar of the black tiger and Erhuang.
"It's not good, there's a situation!" Minghua shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”
The members of the Hunters quickly found a favorable terrain and hid themselves.
"Papa", a series of machine guns chased Heihu and Erhuang who were running back, and the two hounds ran down the road and ran along the roadside stream into the village. Minghua saw that their mouths were full of blood, and Er Huang still had knife wounds on his body, so they must have attacked the devils who were hiding not far from the entrance of the village, forcing the devils to shoot, thus exposing themselves.
The gunfire alarmed Xiao Xiong and them.
"Oh no, the devil is coming!" Xiao Xiong immediately asked Deputy Commander Gao to lead the other team members to quickly rush to the entrance of the village for reinforcements, and asked Bai Yu to quickly send a report to inform the other troops to immediately reinforce Miao Zhipu. He told Daddy Bai to quickly open the hidden cave entrance and lead the villagers to move quickly.
Xiao Xiong had just finished arranging, and with the whistling of mortars, the explosion of shells immediately sounded in the village.
At the entrance of the village, the devils have already begun to attack under the cover of machine guns.
Minghua calmly commanded his teammates. He ordered: The devils are not allowed to shoot within less than 50 meters, strive for one shot at a time, and see who kills the devils the most.
Under Yoshino's command, the devils pounced on the entrance of the village. When the devil was almost 50 meters away, Minghua shouted: "Give me a hard beating!" ”
"Bang bang bang", with the sound of a row of guns, more than 10 devils who rushed to the front immediately fell to the ground. Minghua took out a squad leader with a command knife. The rest of the devils immediately lay on the ground.
Gao Qixing came with reinforcements. He arranged his troops in three echelons and prepared to resist the attacks of the devils.
Yoshino saw that all three attacks were repulsed, and he ordered the devil's mortars to focus on the entrance of the village.
"Boom" and "boom" shells continued to explode on the positions of the Einsatzgruppen, and there were constant casualties. The situation is becoming more and more critical. Xiao Xiong helped Daddy Bai lead the villagers out of the cave. Although he had imagined it countless times, when he really wanted to transfer from the cave, Xiao Xiong was still so reluctant.
The devil's artillery fire is getting more and more intense, and it may be that the devil is coming over for reinforcements from this side. The battle at the entrance of the village was fought extremely fiercely. The devils have already stormed the wall at the entrance of the village.
Hearing the gunshots getting closer and closer, Xiao Xiong was anxious, he was worried that the hunters would not be able to stop the devils and implicate the innocent people of Miaozhipu.
Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire and mortar fire rang out simultaneously from the north and south of the road, and the devils who were about to attack the village stopped their attack.
"It must be Zhang Shan and Jiang Feng who are coming for reinforcements. Everyone hurry up, move quickly, and don't take anything you can't take with you. Xiao Xiong knew that Zhang Shan and Jiang Feng could only delay the attack of the devils for a while, and it would not be long before the devils would attack the village.
Sure enough, the gunfire at both ends of the highway gradually thinned out, and the gunfire slowly faded away. The devils at the entrance of the village began to attack again.
Fortunately, taking advantage of the brief moment when the devil suspended the attack, Xiao Xiong and Daddy Bai transferred all the remaining people out. However, the shelling of the devils still killed more than 20 villagers. Everyone didn't care to bury the bones of their loved ones, and walked into the cave with tears in their eyes.
Xiao Xiong asked his father and Bai Yu to lead everyone to the depths of the cave, and he immediately ran towards the entrance of the village.
The sky was already dark, but the devil's indiscriminate bombardment had already set the whole village on fire, and the thatched houses and the thatched piles piled up in the courtyard were like a lit torch, illuminating the night sky of Miaozhipu as if it were day.
Gao Qixing led the team and stubbornly resisted the devil's crazy attack. Because the devils know that the commander Yoshino Shaosa is supervising the formation behind with a machine gun. Yoshino looked at the Einsatzgruppen in the encirclement who were still desperately resisting, as if he had seen the medal in the hand of the Emperor Oniko, and he personally commanded his subordinates to attack desperately with a crooked machine gun.
The troops blocking the attack at the entrance of the village suffered heavy casualties, almost all the officers and men were wounded, Gao Qixing was cut in the head by shrapnel, and Minghua was also wounded in his left arm. When Xiao Xiong arrived, the devil was about to attack. Xiao Xiong took a machine gun from a wounded man and opened fire on the devils who rushed up.
He shouted at Gao Qixing: "The common people have all withdrawn, you quickly retreat with the wounded, and I and Brother Minghua and a few brothers who are not injured to cover you." ”
Gao Qixing didn't say a word, picked up a wounded man and left. The other warriors carried each other towards the village. However, there were still more than 10 seriously wounded fighters who refused to leave. They urged Xiao Xiong to retreat quickly, and they would cover it.
Most of these soldiers were hunters recruited by Xiao Xiong from the vicinity, and a few of them were soldiers of the original 74th Army. At this moment of life and death, their performance made Xiao Xiong's blood boil. He tightened the trigger of the machine gun, and the bullets rained down on the devils who attacked like crazy, and the devils in front fell down in a large piece, and the devils in the back quickly lay down.
Suddenly, a cannonball exploded in front of Xiao Xiong's bunker, and the huge explosion wave rushed Xiao Xiong's body to the ground, and he was suddenly unconscious.
When he woke up, he was already at the mouth of the cave. I saw Minghua holding himself with tears, he felt a splitting headache, reached out and wiped it on his head, his head was already wrapped in a thick bandage, his hands were full of blood, it turned out that he was injured.
At this time, he heard fierce gunfire in the village, and it seemed that the devil had entered the village.
"Commander, hurry up and give the order to seal the entrance to the cave! Or it's too late. Minghua anxiously urged.
"Minghua, where are the Yaohua brothers?" Xiao Xiong looked around and suddenly asked.
"His legs were blown off, and he insisted on leading the remaining brothers to break off his legs." Minghua said crying.
Suddenly, the gunfire in the village stopped, followed by a loud explosion, which echoed and echoed in the night sky for a long time.
It's over.
Xiao Xiong pointed to the huge stone above his mouth and said weakly:
"Seal!"
A string of crystal tears slid down his face, and he suddenly thought:
"I don't know what happened to my dad and them." He passed out.
