Chapter 10: The War for Supplies (2)
Xu Jinshan paused and said: "The mine where we work was originally opened by a Tianjin boss, but after the Japanese came, they forcibly occupied this place.
During the period when we were forced to work for the Japanese in the mines, we were forced by the Japanese factory director to go to the city several times to serve as free coolies, and the work was to help them unload all kinds of military supplies brought from other places, including ammunition, medicine, and more food. ”
Seeing that Qiao Youhua listened carefully and did not show any impatience, Xu Jinshan continued: "There are two ways now, the first is to wait for the Japanese army in the county to run out of materials, and we will block the road and rob its transportation team. The second is to find a way to get rid of the Japanese warehouses in the city, and it is better to burn all the supplies they have hoarded.
In this way, the Japanese devils will definitely transfer supplies from other places again, and we can do it halfway. ”
Qiao Youhua listened attentively, and thought about it carefully: "The first method is not very appropriate, because waiting for the Japanese army to hoard materials and exhaust them will be protracted, and we can't continue to wait like this now, and secondly, we can't know that the day when the Japanese army's hoarding materials are exhausted and the transport convoy will come that day."
If we want to grasp intelligence, we have to continuously dispatch reconnaissance personnel to reconnoiter and monitor every day, and it is too difficult.
Or the second method is feasible, as long as they get rid of the warehouse where they hoard materials, then the devils will definitely transfer materials from other places in a short time.
In contrast, we only need to closely monitor the roads connecting the county town and other places in the next few days, so that we can know the whereabouts of the devil's convoy in advance, and set up an ambush halfway as quickly as possible to seize supplies. ”
"Then you'll have to venture into the county seat." Back at the newly established temporary camp in the threshing floor, Qiao Youhua will tell Xu Jinshan about the plan he has discussed, sniper Jiang Haidong said with a deep face.
"The adventure is certain, but Xu Jinshan has already agreed to enter the city with us, and with him as a guide, we have more chances of winning." Qiao Youhua said and looked at his three loyal comrades-in-arms and continued: "If there is no doubt, let's start preparing, without further ado, we will set off tonight and find a way to sneak into the city before dawn tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Jiang Haidong, Wu Ming and Ma Biao all agreed to the promise, turned their heads and prepared to go.
In the courtyard of the village chief's house, Xu Yuer looked at her father who was having dinner next to her with a worried face: "Dad, do you have to go?" ”
"Your father and I are also a part of the anti-Japanese resistance, besides, Qiao Youhua and they are all father's life-saving benefactors, public and private, I should go and show them the way, don't worry, we will all come back safely." Xu Jinshan stroked his daughter's hair and said comfortingly.
The old man Xu Youcai watched his children and grandchildren silently, in fact, he and his son both knew that this trip to the county was extremely dangerous, and they died for life, but they couldn't bear to explain it to the young Xu Yuer.
…………
In the county town, the Japanese garrison headquarters was brightly lit, and a Japanese soldier was answering the phone in a low voice: "Hai, Hai, I understand my humble duties, I must investigate clearly, please rest assured." ”
In front of his desk stood two second lieutenant officers and two privates, all four of whom bowed their heads and were silent.
The Japanese army Shaozo finally finished the call, and when he put down the phone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in just two days, he lost almost a whole squad of troops, and also let the people of China attack the mine, and even the owner of the mine in Murakami was killed.
He, the supreme commander of Zhengding County, must have been responsible for such a serious incident, but he did not dare to conceal it, so he truthfully reported it to the wing commander, but what he did not expect was that the brigade commander even personally called him to reprimand him severely.
Strictly ordered himself to seize and eliminate the gang of thugs who had never seen a god descending from the sky.
Finally, he raised his head, his eyes gradually became cold, and he stared at the four subordinates in front of him viciously, patted the table, and suddenly shouted with extreme anger: "Bastard, shame, big shame, tomorrow morning, immediately organize forces to go out of the city to search for the thugs, at any cost, you must kill all these people, if you can't complete the task, you don't want to come back!" ”
The four devil officers and soldiers turned pale with fright, and hurriedly bowed their heads one after another: "Hai! ”
In the early hours of the night, the breeze blew in gusts, and the night outside Zhengding County was dark, and a black figure quietly touched out of a dense sorghum field in the south of the city, looked around left and right, and waved his hand behind him after making sure that there was no danger.
Immediately, four black shadows came out one after another, and the five of them were none other than Qiao Youhua and Xu Jinshan, who were on the road in the middle of the night.
At this time, it was midnight, and it was the time when people were most sleepy, and it was also the time when the vigilance of the devils in the city was the most lax.
"Uncle Xu, are you sure it's here?" Qiao Youhua asked with one last confirmation.
Xu Jinshan nodded and said: "That's right, I have been in the county for so many years, and I am most familiar with the surrounding area, but the Japanese devils should be sleeping during this time period, there are several abandoned courtyards, we can hide over the city wall." As he spoke, Xu Jinshan subconsciously checked the explosives bag on his back, he was born as a miner and was a good player at playing explosives, and he could be described as a natural demoman.
Qiao Youhua got his affirmative answer, and nodded lightly to Ma Biao.
Ma Biao understood, and immediately took out a simple flying claw made of hemp rope, spun around, and threw it towards the city with a whoosh.
With a sonorous sound, the flying claws buckled the strong city wall, and Ma Biao pulled hard, and when he was sure that it was strong, he quickly climbed up like a monkey.
The city wall of the county seat is old, not too high, only about five meters, three minutes later, all five people climbed to the top of the city, jumped down, and entered a silent house under the guidance of Xu Jinshan.
After entering the house, Qiao Youhua immediately said to the four: "Check the equipment." ”
"Youhua, shall we wait until dawn before we do it or do it now?" Xu Jinshan asked as he inspected the explosives bag.
Qiao Youhua thought for a while and said: "Don't wait for dawn, after dawn, the crowd is indeed conducive to our concealed whereabouts and approach the devil's warehouse, but once we attack the warehouse successfully, the devil will definitely pursue, and at that time, the people on the streets in the city may be affected by us, and the devil will not care about them as innocent civilians." ”
The four of them all felt that what Qiao Youhua said was reasonable, and they all nodded silently in agreement.
Qiao Youhua checked the assault rifle in his hand and said, "Okay, rest in place for half an hour to recover, and after half an hour, raid the Japanese warehouse." "Although they did not have the point of exhaustion of the Dao body, they had been running wildly for several hours all the way, and the body had also dropped a lot.
In this operation, except for Xu Jinshan, who carried a large number of explosives and detonators, as well as two Southern Type 14 pistols that Qiao Youhua gave him to use, Qiao Youhua and the four of them were all equipped with their super-era weapons.
After all, this time it is deep into the enemy's den, not playing guerrilla warfare with devils outside the city, and there is a possibility that you will be encircled, so the necessary strong firepower is indispensable.
In addition to the original full armament, they also carried a batch of captured Japanese grenades, street fighting, especially this kind of street fighting with less to more, the role of grenades is undoubted, will greatly increase their firepower.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, Qiao Youhua stood up and said coldly: "When the time comes, start acting." ”
Jiang Haidong and Xu Jinshan stood up at the same time, and under the guidance of Xu Jinshan, the five of them quietly moved towards the Japanese army's material warehouse.
