Chapter 47: Awakening from a Nightmare

"Oops! Said it was a devil, two came out, and three came out. Yue Guijun muttered to himself, a little panicked in his heart, but he quickly turned around and hugged him, still twisted into a ball, and fell into the ditch again, it was still that. The guards, who made twenty rings, knocked the devil to death in the ditch with a pistol.

When the matter succeeded, the brothers in the car behind them realized what was going on.

Arai refused to go, and was tied hand and foot together, passed through two flat poles, and carried away like a dead pig.

The car was loaded with sweaters, woolen gloves, and the soldiers wanted to take them away.

"Comrades! We are the Eighth Route Army, we don't love money, let's go quickly! Captain Yue shouted.

They carried the advisers, with the two new big covers and three short guns they had collected, to Niujiazhuang, where they had predetermined to meet.

Twelve minutes - it was the time when Commander Chen personally commanded the large army to approach the Shuhe River in the east of Juxian County, and the reflection of the setting sun was slowly disillusioning. It was still five miles from the city, and the troops sat down to rest along the sandy beaches along the riverbank.

The fighters sorted out their outfits. Checking the bayonet, removing the safety cover from the grenade, putting their favorite good bullet on their chest, the warrior with the long ladder carried the ladder to the front, the ladder flashed and creaked on the soldier's shoulder, so that he was in a hurry to straighten up and climb up to the head of Juxian.

At this time, a reporter took out the photos of the Battle of Binbei to show the soldiers, the heroes standing on the enemy bunker holding the national flag high were their familiar comrades-in-arms, they looked at their activities on the battlefield excitedly, and cared about whether the battle communication broadcast to Yan'an was not, and when they knew that the news had been published in newspapers in various places, they all smiled with satisfaction......

"Every battle has to show up a group of battle heroes!" The warrior said confidently. Everyone knows that they mean to stand high in the liberated Juxian city and leave behind the heroic posture of the liberators!

The sun had set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the western sky red, Chen Shiyu took out his watch, and the hour hand was pointing to 6:50.

Everything is ready to wait for the time to come, but only then time passes the slower.

The glow has changed from orange to dark purple, and gradually turned into light green, and the thin curtain of dusk has pulled through the suburbs of Juxian.

Suddenly there was a loud explosion in the city, it was seven o'clock just five seconds, the soldiers did not wait for the order to stand up automatically, immediately began to run, stepping on the soft sand of the Shu River, crossing the single-plank bridge, to the northeast corner of the city, the people on the outskirts of the city looked excitedly at the advancing army, and whispered to Chen Shiyu: "There are only three miles of land!" ”

Sweat soaked through the cotton military uniforms, everyone suppressed the loud panting, silently continued to run forward, and the ladder group crossed the outer trench and leaned the long ladder against the city wall. The assault team climbed the city along two long ladders: the reporter held the ladder pole and looked at his watch in the starlight, and the hour hand pointed to 7:13.

Within twelve minutes, our Eighth Route Army had already crossed five miles of land and crossed the Shu River and the outer trenches of the city wall.

When the assault team all climbed the city wall, the enemy had not yet noticed it, so our Eighth Route Army continued to search and advance, occupied the bomb field, the puppet county government and the puppet police station, forced into the innermost fortifications of the enemy, blocked the rush road, and prepared to strike at the intruding counter-charge.

At the same time as our army invaded Jucheng, Lingyang, Dianziji, Niujiazhuang, Yantou, Caiyuan, Yangjiadianyu, Zhangxian, Xiaoliuxing, Liudianzi, Tinggou, Yanjiaguanzhuangling, Yuanzhuang, Liujiacun, Hekou and other thirteen enemy and puppet strongholds were recovered by our army, and all Mo Zhengmin's troops were glorious under the unified action, and the stronghold fortifications were destroyed.

The two squadrons of Mobu, which are important towns on the Juzhu Highway and Guan Commander, are also fighting at the same time. The two strongholds guarded about 20 people, and they were guarding two watchtowers alone and were besieged by our army.

In total, there are 30 squadrons of the Mo Ministry of Peace, including pseudo-organization personnel and pseudo-police stations, with a total of more than 3,500 people. Jucheng Mobe was in the right place, and cooperated with our army's siege troops to capture the enemy's economic adviser Honda, the puppet county government adviser Arai, and the puppet county security brigade instructor Kaneno and other ten.

Among them, the commander of the 12th Squadron of Mobu used machine guns to strafe the enemy, killing many enemies and capturing a light machine gun. The 6th Squadron of Mobu, which was stationed in Zhaoxian, destroyed two enemy cars and captured two enemy soldiers. All of the above-mentioned troops have now been assembled and have entered the base area under the cover of our Eighth Route Army. Along the way, it was welcomed and given preferential treatment by our military and civilians.

Under the offensive of the Jucheng Campaign of our Eighth Route Army and all the troops of Mo Zhengmin, the entire territory of Juxian County has been liberated by our army, except for the four watchtowers of the enemy.

At this moment, the enemy in Zhucheng was even more panicked after hearing the news, and the defenders of the three strongholds of Shiqiao, Taolin, and Shandong on the Zhuri Highway had already gathered in Zhucheng, and the defenders in the city were reinforced to Tonggou (140 miles northeast of Jucheng) at 2 p.m. last day with more than 80 people, and at 8 o'clock on the morning of 15 July, more than 300 more enemies were added to Zonggou in an attempt to rescue the remnants of the enemy besieged by us.

At present, in addition to continuing the siege to create a favorable opportunity to annihilate the enemy, our army will also strike at the enemy's reinforcements with a forceful part...... Always ready to crush the possible arrival of the enemy in a retaliatory "sweep".

As soon as the sun showed its face from the eastern mountain, a golden light shot out from the east, and a newly liberated contingent - the puppet security team of the sixteen strongholds, the county government, and the police station; Nearly 4,000 people, carrying 31 machine guns, 35 hand cannons, and more than 3,000 rifles, walked step by step to the central base area in the sun, and they breathed fresh air freely on the land of the motherland.

In the days after leaving the city, the crowd comforted them like a loving mother to a prodigal son. They were touched by this magnanimous kindness, and many of them were red-eyed, and their consciences were reproaching themselves, and they were all deeply ashamed.

At every resting place, the soldiers were in groups of three or five discussing privately:

"I heard in the past how the Eighth Route Army killed people, it was all nonsense!"

"Why do you say that when we came out to crusade earlier, we couldn't see a single common man, militia, and were shot everywhere, and now even the eldest daughter and little daughter-in-law have come to welcome us?"

"Earlier, we came to ruin the people, and the people beat us as devils, but now anyway, the people treat us as the eight roads, which is called reforming the evil and returning to the right!"

"I knew that the people were so good to the Eighth Route Army, and I should have come to be the Eighth Route Army a long time ago!"

"When the Eight Roads have to get rid of the traitorous nature, otherwise the people will not support us."

"Really, you can't do it without changing your traitorous temper!"

"The Eighth Route Army's War of Resistance is really glorious, and if you die, you will be a hero of the War of Resistance, let's be traitors in the past, what will we end up with if we die?" , "There are three big words of 'big bastard'!" ”

……

When the procession arrived at a small village, all the groups in the village welcomed them at the head of the North Ridge, gongs and drums jingled, literacy classes and militia were twisting Yangge, and the crowd was marching and chanting slogans.

Passing through the door of the "glorious uprising," the officers and men saw the crowd in the queue rejoicing, and saw the press corps busily taking pictures of them. In their eyes and reddish faces, it can be seen that their hearts are intertwined with excitement and shame.

When Brigade Commander Mo walked to the gate of the "Glorious Righteousness", a literacy class dressed him in red silk and hung a big red flower, and another literacy class girl sprinkled paper flowers on him.

In this way, Brigade Commander Mo asked the people in front of the masses to treat him as the Eighth Route Army.

At the reorganization meeting on 21 July, all the officers and men accepted the name of "Second Brigade of the Eighth Route Chrome Army Shandong Military Region" and felt supreme honor.

The next day, the masses in various districts sent a large number of condolences and held a grand party, and the masses shouted: "Support Brigade Commander Mo to fight to the end"

"The brothers who support the ** Second Brigade will fight to the end!"

After the speech of the representative of the Children's League, Brigade Commander Mo said to everyone, "We are already lagging behind the Children's League, we must study hard, change our faces, catch up, and be a new ......."

And all the officers and soldiers kept chanting: "Learn from the old Eighth Road!" ”

"Champion!"

"Love the people!"

"Follow a**!"

The original puppet soldiers deeply realized that they had gone to the light, as one soldier said: "I have been rolling in the mud pit for several years and I don't know my smell, and now it is like taking a bath." ”

It is also as an officer said: "Living in the city drunk and dreaming of death is like having a big dream, and now it is really going to the bright road!" ”

At present, the Mobu is continuing to move to our central area, and the military and civilians in our base area are preparing to hold a grand welcome.

Our Binhai Naval Region has issued 20 yuan to each soldier of the unit, 50 yuan to those above the squad leader, and 100 yuan to the squadron leader and above, as a sign of sympathy.

As a result, a soldier of the unit was moved to tears and said: "When traitors can't even eat pancakes every day, and they are opposed by the common people everywhere, they are popular everywhere when they come to the base area, eat steamed buns and meat, and then think about the past, they really have no face to see people." ”

An officer said: "The Kuomintang told us to take a detour, but this time we have climbed onto a wide serious road!" ”

Another officer said: "Two years ago, we came out to fight with the Kuomintang army, and we saw that there were a lot of them, but as soon as the gun went off, they ran out, and we were really not angry, but once the devils and we had a total of more than 500 people to fight a company of the Eighth Route Army for a day, but we were beaten so that our legs and stomachs turned straight, and the Eighth Route Army had no problem attacking the city, which was really powerful!" ”

The offensive of the Jucheng Campaign launched by our Coastal Naval District is still continuing to expand the results of the battle, and the remnants of the enemy who were besieged by us in the last two pillboxes of Jucheng are still fighting the trapped beasts on the basis of strong fortifications after our attacks for several days, trying to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
