As soon as the communicator called out the "chief", the man walked up to the front with his steps, took Chen Shiyu's hand cordially and said, "Ah: it's you: Gu Mu!" Shi Yu saw the person coming and hurriedly stretched out his right hand. Where are you from? ”

"I just arrived here from Tancheng County! You ......" Gu Muxiang's little brother met the eldest brother who had been missing for a long time, and he really didn't know where to start his words, and he smacked his lips for a long time before he smacked his lips and said seriously: "Since I left with you, I went to Tancheng County to mobilize the masses with Comrade Ding Mengsun, secretary of the Tancheng County Party Committee, and mobilized a large number of ordinary people in this county. Complete the mission and report back to you! ”

Chen Shiyu hurriedly said: "Come and report, that's good!" It just happens that you can use you, the old ** minister of the Shandong Military Region, it depends on your ability. Hey, how did you know I was here? ”

"I don't know, I just know that at twelve o'clock tonight, we're going to do a big job in this area. After taking charge of the lamp, Political Commissar Tang called me over and said that some troops should cooperate with the general 'guanxi' and take down the stronghold of Xianxiao Chenzhuang. I'm afraid that this place is too close to the railway, and if something goes wrong, I'm busy telling me to go out, but if I can't do it, I'll throw the last trump card outward. I didn't just hear you were here! That's nice. ”

Chen Shiyu and Gu Mu whispered side by side and walked out of the village. Several turrets, black and silent, poked in shifts five or six hundred meters away from the village. The layers of bullet holes are all shining with flickering lights; Look carefully at the sentry on the top of the turret, swaying and walking.

Chen Shiyu and a few of them, distanced themselves and followed behind the correspondent, walking lightly and tightly. In the blink of an eye, I slipped into a three-walled, ventilated, roofless lookout house - the temporary command post of the 5th Regiment of the besieging troops.

As deployed, the troops were concealed in fruit groves outside the field, in cemeteries and in villages on both sides of the road.

Chen Shiyu and Gu Mu came to Xiao Chenzhuang, which was attacked by the Fifth Regiment. It is a fruit grove, close to the road, and the fruit grove is like a long and narrow belt, winding out to the peach railway. No sooner had they entered the woods than they heard an angry and rough voice.

Chen Shiyu tilted his ears and listened, frowned and said, "It's Wu Jiang again." Can't you say a few words calmly all day long? I don't know what we're arguing about, let's take a look. ”

Wu Jiang was criticizing a young soldier who was standing with a gun on his face aggrieved. The common people stood to the side frowning, clutching a grenade in their hands.

"How can you give away a weapon casually? This is a violation of military discipline. It's not a garlic hammer, it's munitions. Wu Jiang said as he reached out to grab the grenade. The assembly hurriedly dodged away, hiding the grenade behind his back. A young soldier was not convinced, and stammered to defend himself: "He always pesters me, saying that fishing depends on rods and catching birds on sifts. Without an iron guy, you can't stop the enemy. I gave him one, anyway, it's all about fighting the enemy. ”

"If you do something wrong, you still argue!" Wu Jiang was even more angry when he saw that the warrior was talking back. "Fight the puppet army, fight the enemy, it depends on who it is?"

"Can't the common people fight the enemy? When you weren't a soldier, weren't you also a common man? The General Assembly rightly contradicted.

"Aha, you dare to stand up to me." Wu Jiang was even more annoyed, "Can the weapon be effective in your hands?" Ay! ”

"I think it works!" An affirmative answer sounded from behind.

Wu Jiang turned around, and his gaze happened to meet Chen Shiyu's gaze. He was a little displeased, and after a pause, he said:

"I think there aren't many weapons, so we should try to be as effective as possible."

"It is wrong to choose a weapon without asking for advice, and it should be criticized. I can talk to my comrades, why bother with such a big liver fire. Chen Shiyu tried his best to soften his tone, "As long as it does not affect the firepower of the troops too much, give the masses a little weapon, and arm the people, this is exactly how to give full play to the effectiveness of weapons." Everyone is a hands-off team, how can they fight devils? Just give the grenade to this young man, what do you think? ”

Wu Jiang still wanted to plead, but when he caught a glimpse of Gu Muzheng glaring at him, he swallowed his saliva and nodded his head with restraint.

Chen Shiyu patted the shoulders of the conference cordially, and said with a smile: "Little landlord, Company Commander Wu handed over this grenade to you, and I hope you can use it to exchange it for a big lid." Don't throw it out without pulling the string and smash the heel of the devil. Call the establishment of comrades to teach you. ”

It was the young soldier who was founded, and he said yes, and he pulled aside the happy assembly, and enthusiastically taught the common sense of using grenades.

At this time, the wind suddenly rose, blowing more and more tightly, and the rolling dust and sand were like an endless huge net, tightly enveloping this vast land, and the scenery dozens of steps away were unrecognizable, only showing a faint outline.

With the shelter of trees, the wind and sand in the fruit grove are slightly smaller. Wu Jiang rubbed his eyes, and cursed with one mouth: "This wind is really annoying, it's going to be a big deal." ”

Chen Shiyu smiled and said: "It also has its advantage, it has cast a natural smoke screen on us, hindering the enemy's observation and making it impossible to find out our reality and make it easier for us to beat him." ”

At this moment, they heard the sound of horses' hooves. "Where are Commander Chen, Commander Luo, and Political Commissar Gu?" The scout asked anxiously and rode into the woods. He crouched in the saddle, the branches grinding his upper body with a clatter.

"Come down, see you knock all the fruit blossoms off." Chen Shiyu shouted loudly.

The scout hurriedly jumped off his horse and hurriedly stepped forward to report: "The enemy in Xiaochenzhuang has gone up to the turret and is preparing to fire at us. ”

After hearing this, Luo Huasheng, who had just run from the side, immediately issued a battle order: "Prepare for battle, stand by to attack!" ”

The closer the battle gets, the slower time seems to pass. Long. The puppet army finally appeared in their field of vision. They huddled together like ants, moving slowly on the cannon tower.

The captain of the puppet army, a fat-headed and big-eared guy, has a little military common sense after all, and he is more sober than his subordinates. He knew that he had to be very careful when defending such a stronghold, and that he was annoyed by the greed for life and fear of death from his subordinates.

This bad thing, ordered the adjutant to quickly reorganize the team and closely monitor the Eighth Route Army. Helplessly, the team was too scattered, and the order could not be passed to the end for a while, and most of them lay on the spot and did not dare to show their heads, and cowered. The captain of the puppet army was annoyed, let go of the reins, grabbed the horseback, rushed out of the command post, and rushed to the team defending the city and shouted loudly. The puppet army lying down mistakenly thought that there was an enemy situation, chattered, looked around in a panic, and hid in the east.

"Smack, smack!" Two crisp gunshots rang out, which was the signal for the Eighth Route Army to attack. With the sound of gunfire, the fighters rushed out from various sorties and opened heavy fire on the stronghold.

The sudden attack caused the enemy to panic. Coupled with the wind and sand, it is impossible to see the strength of the Eighth Route Army. I could only hear the sound of killing in the four fields, and the gunshots rang out in one piece, and I couldn't figure out how many people and horses pressed over. (..)
