Chapter Forty-Nine: Kill the Enemy with All Your Might

At this moment, the fierce little devil captain is holding a bamboo whip in his hand and lashing a girl with braids. The girl broke free from the rope and escaped from the bullpen and through the woods into the cemetery. An earthen cannon shattered the night sky. Torches, knives and guns merged into a rolling torrent and poured into a room in the mansion, and the captain of the little devil saw through the firelight outside the window that it was a little girl with long pigtails and a young man with two guns who led in.

So, the captain of the little devil team hurriedly pulled up a woman and slipped out from the side like a mouse......

The captain of the little devil brigade stood in the wilderness, looking at the burning mansion in the distance, and the people were buzzing, beating his chest, and stumbling into the boundless night......

At present, the captain of the little devil team covered his chest, calmed down, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd. Lifting the hem of his robe, he trotted away. The captain of the little devil team stumbled and almost panted in front of the little devil co-captain's wine feast.

"Mr. Osa, Your Excellency," the little devil captain gasped, "I can't help it, no...... Our Juxian ...... To give...... The land of the eight roads is laid! ”

"Smack" The wine cup in the hand of the little devil captain fell to the ground and shattered, "You...... How did you know that?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Xu Daren excitedly, "Captain Taijun, I also recognize her!" She's the flower girl I used to be by Segu Segou three years ago! ”

The captain of the little devil co-captain wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "She...... Where is she? ”

The captain of the little devil team pointed outward with his left hand: "The cross street not far from here!" ”

on the streets. The sister-in-law suddenly threw a handful of red and green leaflets into the crowd of onlookers. Flyers fell: "Letter to the People of the County" and "Down with the Japanese Devils", and the crowd was in chaos. Ji Liu's eyes watched with concern, and at the same time as leading people to rush to the enemy's girl, he opened fire on the little ghost The cannon sound of bombarding the enemy's last two fortified pillboxes in Ju County was still rumbling, and the people in Ju County were busy serving the soldiers in front.

On the way to transfer the wounded soldiers, each station set up an elaborate comfort shelter, and when the wounded soldiers passed by, a schoolboy or a women's rescue association would immediately hand over boiling water and hot porridge to the wounded soldiers to drink, and comfort them with gentle and touching words.

Some of the eldest mothers were afraid that the wounded comrades would be cold, so they brought their own quilts to cover them, and many injured comrades were moved to tears. In some districts and villages, primary school students and literacy classes have also voluntarily organized propaganda teams to carry out propaganda in villages in the liberated areas.

On the road to the front line, there is an endless stream of donkey carts and pickers; It was full of various gifts such as fat pigs and sheep, and also carried a large number of letters of condolence.

Among them, there is a letter that reads: "Comrades on the front line of the Eighth Route Army: Seeing you attacking the city and seizing land regardless of life and death, and rescuing our brothers and sisters, we really admire and respect you, we know that the counterattack by the Kuomintang army is not successful, and the counterattack can only be won by relying on the Eighth Route Army, and our little gift is just to show our reverence and enthusiasm to celebrate the victory of the siege!" ”

At noon on 14 July, after the mobilization order for the attack on Juxian was issued, by dusk, more than 80 percent of the masses in Juzhong were nervously mobilized.

The literacy class, militia, and self-defense regiments in each village squeaked and screamed at the assembly whistle, and the streets and alleys were full of people, and the eldest sisters of the literacy class began to mobilize the front line for comfort, and the militia and self-defense forces formed stretcher teams, transport teams, picket teams, and demolition brigades. ”

"The devil occupies Juxian County, which is like a boil on a person. This time it's gone, and the people are fine! ”

"In the future, we will have to rely on the Eighth Route Army to counterattack, and if we have to wait for the central army to come and take Juxian County, then the Chinese will be afraid of all death!" Brother Wang, a member of the Self-Defense Corps, also pointed his fingers and said in the crowd as if giving a speech: "...... It's just a day! ”

The sky is still dark but not dark, boom even two horns sounded, everyone's heart jumped twice, the stretcher team and demolition team of each village ran to the assembly ground from all directions, and the victory gate had been set up on the main road, the old man and the old lady all prayed for the Eighth Route Army to win more battles, and the compatriots in the enemy-occupied areas who had been ravaged by the enemy for five years were indulged in talking and laughing freely tonight!

On the main road, the stretcher team and the demolition brigade of thousands of people were nervously advancing, and from a distance, they saw the twisted head, the ridge, and the vegetable closed, and several strongholds were bursting with blazing fires, and the guide who came back from the front line kept bringing the news of victory: "Our team has reached the root of the city wall!" ”

After a while, I heard again: "After the cannon was fired, the devils didn't even have time to close the city gate, and our team rushed into the city from the city gate from the ladder like flying!" Then I heard, "Our team is surrounded by devils!" ”

In the sound of machine guns, machine guns, rifles, and firecrackers on the fifth watch of the New Year, the demolition brigade of more than 15,000 people took turns to demolish the city wall. ”

"The devil didn't make a big effort to catch us to repair the city, so I had to grind foreign workers, this time I was tired to death and had to work hard, this is for us to do it ourselves!" The comrades of the militia command, the militiamen, and the journalists from the front were constantly agitating, and our artillery bombarded the enemy fiercely, and the tighter the artillery fire, the faster the pickaxe was gouged, and in the first night a section of the city wall from the south gate to the east gate was cut six or seven passages.

On the afternoon of the 15th, as soon as the enemy planes flew away, they nervously dug up again, and in the evening, the enemy artillery fired at the city wall, but they still kept planing, and this night they flattened most of the city wall from the south gate to Wenchang Pavilion.

On the night of the 16th, the battle was more intense, and the sound of artillery and ** made the houses a few miles away from the outskirts of the city like an earthquake, and our demolition brigade started again on the north gate and the north city wall, and most of the city walls had been demolished.

Since more than 200 of the vanguard troops of the high-density enemy in Zhucheng entered Jucheng on the night of 18 July, the vast number of our army and people have launched an all-out struggle against the enemy. On the 19th, one of the enemy's follow-up troops was increased to the rank of commander and recruited talents, and the road was built under the cover of tanks, and the other enemy continued to infiltrate Jucheng with more than 500 enemy puppets.

Our army and people immediately turned into the long-term struggle against the enemy for Juxian County, which plagued Juxian City day and night (the residents of the city were all withdrawn with our army), and the villages on the outskirts of the city were completely empty and cleared, constantly carrying out sabotage attacks, flying explosions, waging a struggle against the enemy's pseudo-plainclothes and blockading the enemy's eyes and ears, and the masses on the outskirts of the city automatically stopped supporting the enemy, did not give the enemy a single grass or grain, and dug an anti-Japanese ditch in order to deal with the enemy.

The main force of the Binhai Naval District of our Eighth Route Army, in coordination with the local armed forces, the militia and the broad masses thoroughly destroyed the sections of the Taiwei Road and the Juzhu Section, and used the enemy to repair and break the enemy, repair it day and night, and repair it at night, so as to cut off the enemy's transportation. After our siege and attack for ten days, the enemy in the urn of Jucheng became increasingly shaken and panicked, and had to abandon the city and flee at 11 o'clock on the night of the 29th, and Jucheng was finally completely recovered by our army.
