Old Deshun and the villagers were sent to the entrance of the village. shouted at Chen Zikun's back: "Commander Chen, the wine hasn't finished yet." "Warm, I'll drink it when I get back." Chen Zikun's voice was heard in the distance.

Xiamapo, as the name suggests, the road is difficult to walk, riding a big animal to get here have to get down and lead away, this village is not far from Gongjia Village, twenty miles to ride mules to arrive quickly, but the soldiers of the guerrilla army do not go there directly, they take a shortcut to block between Xiamapo and the county seat, ambush the little devils.

The troops mounted the mules, and their mobility was greatly enhanced, and they soon entered the preset position, drove the mules to the distant depression to rest, and the soldiers lay on the hillside, set up machine guns and grenadiers, and waited for the little Japanese to enter the ambush circle.

In the distance, a group of soldiers drove over, the formation was sparse, like sheep eggs scattered on the road, Chen Zikun frowned: "How is it the Imperial Army?" ”

The Imperial Allied Army is a puppet army organized by the Japanese in the occupied area, and its combat effectiveness is very poor, and it is impossible to carry out the task alone.

"To fight or not?" Chen Shou asked.

"Hit, no matter how small a grasshopper is, it's still meat." Chen Zikun gave an order, the grenadier opened fire first, and the light machine gun followed with a strafing fire, and the puppet army left seven or eight corpses and fled.

The brothers rushed forward, removed the guns and ammunition from the corpses, and returned triumphantly.

Chen Shou asked, "Where to go?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Back to Gongjia Village, the wine hasn't been drunk yet." ”

The crowd roared away on their mules.

On the hill in the distance, a peasant with a dung basket on his back looked at the smoke and dust kicked up by the guerrilla cavalry in confusion, and muttered: "According to the explanation, the siege of Xiamapo has been solved, and you should go there to ask for merit and reward, why do you turn back again, it is really uncertain and elusive." ”

This person is Xia Jingqi in disguise, to make the imperial army pay attention to himself, he must come up with some real chapters, in the early years, Xia Jingqi also served as a staff adjutant of the Overseer's Office, and there are so many flowers and intestines in his stomach, he offered advice to Takeshita Dazuo, and used a serial plan to annihilate the guerrillas, and today the imperial army sent out of this imperial army is to send them to death, one to paralyze the guerrillas, make them more arrogant and lose their guard, and the other to lure the snake out of the hole, you can detect the whereabouts of the other party.

The guerrilla army returned to Gongjia Village, an afternoon's effort, annihilated the puppet army, greatly increased the prestige, added wine and returned to the lamp to reopen the feast, just drunk with dinner, Chen Zikun returned to his seat and continued to drink, Xiao'e killed a chicken, the aunts helped pull the bellows to burn the fire and stir-fry vegetables, a lot of red peppers were put in hot oil to stir the fragrance, and the spicy chicken of the local vegetables in the countryside tasted absolutely authentic.

Chen Zikun touched his body, the cigarette case was empty, there was no supply for the guerrillas, this was his last pack of cigarettes, Lao Deshun handed over his small jade smoke pot: "Try this." ”

The copper smoke pot, the jade cigarette holder, and an embroidered tobacco purse hanging below, the workmanship is fine, the e-cigarette oil is moist, and the two puffs of dry tobacco are smoked, Chen Zikun praised: "Enough!" ”

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Old Deshun is very bold.

"Then what's so embarrassing, a gentleman doesn't take people's love." Chen Zikun hurriedly excused himself, and he could see that this cigarette pouch had been with the old man for decades, so how could he keep it for himself.

Lao De said: "Commander Chen is polite, my old man's body is not good, he can't carry a gun to fight, he can supply the commander to smoke, that is my contribution, don't be polite to me." ”

Chen Zikun saw that it was difficult to resist, so he had to accept it, and he took something to give back to the old man: "Why don't you give you a gun." ”

Lao De said: "I'm dizzy, I can't shoot a gun, and I'm blind with a good gun." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Yes, give you this." ”

As he spoke, he took out a 48-petal grenade made in Japan.

Lao Deshun smiled: "In this." ”

Chan taught him how to use it, and the old man took it to heart and carefully placed the grenade in his coat.

It was dark after a drunken drink, and the villagers dismantled the door panels and set up bunks in the courtyard for the guerrilla soldiers to rest.

……

In Nantai County, the four gates were closed, and the maintenance committee was dispatched urgently, and four county citizens who had reported to the guerrillas were arrested overnight, and Boss Lin of Zuixianju was also among them.

In the courtyard of the old county government, the wolf dog was eyeing each other, the torches were beeping and burning, Boss Lin opened his eyes that were covered with blood, and saw Xia Jingqi standing in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss Lin, do you dare to report to the guerrillas, aren't you afraid that the imperial army will shoot you?" Xia Jingqi asked slowly.

Knowing that he would definitely die, Boss Lin had nothing to scruple about, and with a snort, bloody saliva covered one of Xia Jingqi's eyes.

Xia Jingqi was furious, pulled out his pistol and pushed the bullet against Boss Lin's head, gritted his teeth, but he didn't buckle it, Boss Lin's eyes widened angrily, and he was not afraid at all: "Shoot, Commander Chen will avenge me." ”

"Hmph, I won't kill you, wait until the surname Chen is caught, and let you die willingly." Xia Jingqi put away the gun, took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and the adjutant ran over: "Commander Xia, Taijun is looking for you." ”

Xia Jingqi hurriedly sorted out his military uniform and came to Takeshita Wing Captain, Takeshita Dazuo had been planning this operation for a long time, and he had deliberately defeated the battle several times in order to indulge the enemy's arrogance, and now that he had figured out the specific location of the guerrilla army, he was going to go out and solve the problem once and for all.

"Xia Sang, in this operation, you are still taking the lead." Takeshita Daisado.

Xia Jingqi snapped upright: "Yes!" ”

The south gate of the county opened, first a team of puppet troops came out, there were more than 300 people, and then more than 200 Japanese troops, the official establishment of the Takeshita Wing should be more than 3,000 people, but after the brutal Battle of North Thailand, there were only more than 500 people left, and they had not had time to replenish, so few troops to defend the entire Jiangbei region, it was really stretched, and these 200 people were still temporarily transferred from all over the place by Takeshita Dazuo, just to capture Chen Zikun alive.

The troops marched quickly, marching quietly in the night, the 90 iron cap with peeling paint flashed in the moonlight, Takeshita Dazuo rode a tall Japanese military horse, the four hooves were wrapped in soft cloth, and there was no sound at all when he walked on the ridge, Xia Jingqi rode a black donkey to follow, two heads shorter than Taijun, he introduced to Dazuo in Japanese from time to time, where this road leads, how many acres this sorghum land occupies, and whose ancestral grave is that grave.

Takeshita Dazuo praised: "Xia San, your Nantai is very familiar with the work. ”

"That's, that's, I'm a native of my hometown." Xia Jingqi nodded.

When the troops drove to a position two miles away from Gongjia Village, Takeshita Daisa ordered the troops to rest in place, eat dry food, drink water, and launch a surprise attack fifteen minutes later.

……

When Lao Deshun was young, he developed the habit of getting up early to pick up dung, and he carried a dung basket out of the village before dawn, but he never thought that this habit brought him death.

On both sides of the country road, the wild flowers were covered with dew, and Lao Deshun stopped from time to time to pick up the sheep feces and beans into the basket, and unconsciously walked out of a mile, and suddenly two men covered with weeds came out of the roadside, pressing the old man to the ground.

"It's an old man who picks up dung." There is humanity.

Immediately after that, Lao Deshun was picked up, and even pushed and pulled in front of a group of people, the old man looked at it fixedly, and suddenly he was terrified, the Japanese son actually touched the entrance of the village!

Standing in front of him were Takeshita Daisa and Xia Jingqi, as well as the staff officers of the wing, the sabers were sonorous, the star emblem flashed on the collar badge, and the Japanese wow-wah wow-wah spoke, Xia Jingqi followed the translation: "Old man, are the guerrillas in the village?" Be honest, dare to say half a word of nonsense, and skin you alive! ”

Lao Deshun understands that the little devils will not touch for no reason, they must have mastered the information, even if they swear to death that the guerrillas are not in the village, they can't fool them at all, the old man's life wisdom accumulated over 70 years came in handy at this moment, he kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Spare your life, I said, I said, the guerrillas are in the village, and yesterday I slaughtered my little pig to eat meat, and it is quite a corpse at this time." ”

Xia Jingqi translated the past, and Takeshita Daizo was extremely satisfied: "Old man, do you know Chen Zikun?" ”

"I know, why don't I know, the tall man, two box cannons shoot left and right, and everyone calls him Commander Chen."

"Soga...... Yo West. Takeshita Osa and his subordinates exchanged happy eyes, stepping through the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and finally able to capture this big fish.

"Don't shoot a gun, quietly enter the village, capture alive, must be captured alive, do you understand?" Takeshita Daisa gave Xia Jingqi a death order.

"That's a must." Xia Jingqi replied without hesitation, and asked Lao Deshun again: "Who does Chen Zikun live in?" ”

"Xijia from the west of the village, there is a crooked-necked jujube tree at the door, I will take you there." Lao Deshun volunteered, and his obedient attitude won the trust of everyone, and the two guys who twisted him let go of their hands.

Lao Deshun sorted out his clothes and smiled: "Let's go." "His hand reached into the pouch and secretly tugged at the hemp buckle attached to the safety pin to the grenade.

"Old thing, what are you digging for!" Xia Jingqi was the most alert and asked sharply.

The old hero smiled and took out a smoking Japanese-made ninety-seven grenade from his coat bag, and rushed quickly towards Takeshita Daisa, shouting in his mouth: "Little devil, grandpa will take you to see Hades!" ”

The incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to stop it, Lao Deshun rushed into the enemy position with a grenade, and a staff officer protected Takeshita Dazuo in time, Xia Jingqi's movements were the most swift, and he plunged into the ditch on the side of the road.

The grenade exploded, and forty-eight prefabricated fragments flew in all directions, and the staff officer who was blocking in front of Takeshita Osa was killed on the spot, and Osa was not spared, and he was thrown out by the anger, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and an eyeball hung outside.

The staff officers who followed Dazuo were killed and wounded, wailing everywhere, Lao Deshun died on the spot, blood was spilled at the entrance of the village, and the grizzled devil soldiers rushed up and poked his body with bayonets to vent their anger, and in the ditch on the side of the road, Xia Jingqi crawled out in embarrassment, and hurriedly jumped in front of Takeshita Dazuo: "Taijun, you are seriously injured." ”

Takeshita Dazuo gave Xia Jingqi a slap in the face, this cunning Shina man seems to have a sense of smell like a military dog, and he will never be injured, but the imperial army with him is often killed and injured, it seems that this person is by no means the auspicious of the imperial army.

"Attack!" Takeshita Osa drew his saber and pointed at Gongjia Village in the morning mist.

Chen Zikun heard an explosion in his sleep, a carp jumped up, and the whistle sounded outside: "The little devil is coming, get up quickly!" ”

The officers and men of the guerrilla army lay down in their clothes and piled on Godandan, and at the sound of the order, they all got up, each holding his weapon and waiting for the order.

Gunshots rang out from all directions, and it seemed that the enemy had surrounded Gongjia Village, and Chen Zikun immediately decided: "Go to the enclosure and defend it!" ”

Gongjia Village is not big, 100 households, in the early years when the bandits were raging, the old lady Gong paid to pull up a dirt fence around the village, and there was a trench outside, after many years, the fence to resist the bandits became the Great Wall against the Japanese invaders.

The battle began at dawn, and Lao Deshun used his life to win an extremely valuable five minutes for the guerrillas.
