Comrade Zhao Xulong was the deputy squad leader of the fifth company and the seventh squad of my Eighth Route Army, and during the battle of the cattle farm, he was the leader of the bomb team formed temporarily, and when he accepted the task of blowing up the second deer firewood and covering the ladder group Xiangxiang ladder, he took Cui Zhenyu, Wang Taiyuan, and Pi Junqing, three comrades, to carry the giant Lalei to the second deer firewood.

The second line of deer firewood was made of wooden stakes three or four layers thick, more than one man high, and the mouth of the bowl was thickly arranged and deeply buried, and it enclosed the stronghold like a wooden fence in a pigsty, hindering the assault of the ladder group from advancing, and it was not far from the first outer trench we had occupied. It seems that although it is only seven or eight meters away, it is the most dangerous and arduous task to send Lalei to Duchaili through this short distance!

Facing the second Luchai more than ten meters away is the bunker and cover ditch in the second trench, twenty meters away is the big wall, and the distance is only three or four meters away from the two cannon towers on the corner of the wall, at the same time, in all these places, the enemy can rely on the bright firelight to throw bombs and shots at anyone who approaches Luchai to stop his advance.

"No matter how hard the enemy's firepower and bombs explode, no matter how dangerous they are, the second line of firewood that is hindering the offensive of our Eighth Route Army's Coastal Naval District must be exploded, and this is the task given to us by the party and the higher-ups." Comrade Zhao Xulong expressed his determination to the comrades of the whole group.

In order to successfully complete the task, the method of sending Lalei was to come up with the following: to contain and disperse the enemy's fire by firing grenades into the wall to expose himself, so as to ensure that the comrades who sent the bombs would send Lalei to Luchai. The comrades of the bomb group were determined to sacrifice themselves to complete the mission.

The action began, and the team leader did not send it himself, but handed over Lalei to other comrades to send it while he himself went to cover up, because it was more dangerous to contain the enemy by exposing himself!

After Zhao Xulong was the first to pull the ray and explain it to Wang Taiyuan as planned, he took Cui Zhenyu to climb the trench, and Pi Junqing also climbed the trench from another place. While dodging and concealing enemy shots and bombs, they fired grenades into the fence fiercely. When the bomb exploded in the fence and the enemy's bomb shot diverted, Wang Taiyuan quickly sent Lalei to Luchai, pulled out the line of fire and ran down.

However, unfortunately, only the detonator went off, and the pull did not go off. In the short silence, Zhao Xulong, the team leader, arranged the second action, this time he handed over the second Lalei to Cui Zhenyu, and he climbed out of the trench with Wang Taiyuan and Pi Junqing, and covered Cui Zhenyu with the same action to put Lalei into Luchai.

Danger and difficulty, as if deliberately testing this group of valiant bombers, the second one did not go off, but a long time has passed, so that the longer the enemy prepares, the more unfavorable it is to our movements. Not only did the commander be in a hurry, but also Comrade Zhao Xulong, the leader of the bomb team.

"It's a shame to not be able to complete the task, and if you can't complete the task, won't you become a fearful ghost!?" Zhao Xulong was angry and complaining and took the two firing wires to the deputy platoon commander, "Deputy platoon commander, I'm not afraid of the dead, the two firing wires are here, what should I do if the thunder doesn't sound!"

Zhao Xulong's tears almost flowed out. Indeed, he was not afraid of the dead, and was not intimidated by danger. With the encouragement of the deputy platoon commander, he went to send the third Lalei.

So, after Zhao Xulong handed over the third Lalei to Pi Junqing, he climbed out of the trench with Comrades Cui Zhenyu and Wang Taiyuan. Without concealing himself, Zhao Xulong threw the grenade at the enemy, and the enemy's grenades were also thrown outward in two or two pieces......

At this time, Wang Taiyuan suffered three bomb wounds on his body, but still continued to fight grenades. The third bomb was finally safely put into the deer firewood under the cover of the comrades of the bomb group. Pi Junqing pulled out the line of fire and ran down. Then there was an earth-shattering loud noise, black smoke shrapnel, mixed with gravel and broken wood, flew into the sky, and the densely lined and deeply buried wooden stakes exploded into a gap more than two meters wide. The first step of the bomb group's mission was completed.

With an earth-shattering bang, under the cover of machine-gun and bomb fire from our hero's Eighth Route Army, the comrades rushed to the second trench. The deputy platoon commander also participated in Zhao Xulong's bomb group. Machine guns fired at the battlements and turrets of the fence and sparked sparks, grenades flew into the fence and exploded with red light, and the battle raged fiercely.

Cui Zhenyu was injured when he was about to lie down after shooting a grenade, and then Zhao Xulong was also injured and fell!

The battle is still raging!

On the morning when the cattle farm was recovered by me, the heroic bomb team leader Comrade Zhao Xulong died of his wounds! But he fulfilled the tasks given to him by the party and his superiors! It is glorious to sacrifice for the cause of the party!

Comrade Zhao Xulong died. But he left a deep impression on the whole company - he was not afraid of danger and sacrifice, and resolutely completed the task. Everyone proudly boasted of his bomb team and learned from his fighting spirit, remembering him forever!

In the past two days, the columns of our army that entered the area where Li Zhiyongping had taken hold continued to fight victoriously, and they won another victory:

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 26th, the first part of our Peng Regiment besieged the pseudo-stronghold on the Zhuri Highway, and at 11 o'clock our brave bombers blew up a section of the polder wall and a corner of the house.

The commandos stormed the wall in the black smoke and flames, repelling the enemy's backlash. Rushing into the polder, except for the squadron leader who led a few soldiers to escape, a total of 37 of the remaining 37 were captured alive, and 45 guns, one hand cannon, 10 shells, and more than 300 rifle shells were surrendered. One motorcycle, three bicycles, and a Japanese signal gun! One command knife, one binoculars, two hundred grenades, and five thousand pounds of wheat.

On the afternoon of 27 July, the 6th Company of Wangbu of our right column again used a combination of military pressure and political offensive to conquer the puppet stronghold Guanbianchang, captured more than 90 puppet deputy battalion commanders and platoon commanders, and captured 90 rifles, 2 light machine guns, 10 short guns, and 20 boxes of grenades. A telephone, and a lot of other military supplies.

At the same time, more than 100 enemies in Jiaoxian County took five cars to reinforce Boer Town. It surrounded Yujiaguanzhuang (ten miles northwest of Bo'er Town) to block the attack of our left column, and was attacked head-on by our Eighth Route Army.

Four hours later, the enemy suffered eight casualties and more than 30 false wounds, and on the same day, three more cars were sent to Yujiaguanzhuang for reinforcements, and Zhuangdong, about ten miles east of Guanzhuang, was forced to turn back to Bo'er Town.

After four hours of fierce fighting, the puppet army wavered. Fleeing to Bo'er Town at night, the village was immediately recovered by me, according to the central stronghold of Li Wei Yongping in Yujiaguanzhuang, this time it was conquered by me, and Bo'er Town, where Li Ying's headquarters is located, has lost the northwest barrier, and the puppet army has been greatly shaken.

On the same day, the puppet army at the puppet stronghold in Shantou (on the Zhuri Highway) was also surrounded and attacked by our right column and the local armed militia. All of them fled, and the stronghold was occupied by me. In addition, the puppet army of the five strongholds of Nananzhuang, Maojiazhuang, Cangma, Longgu (all of the above are in the west of Tiemingling), Shanghu (north of Rizhao, where the second battalion of the second battalion of the puppet Li Reverse 3rd Regiment was stationed), under the fierce offensive of our army for several days, panicked and fled separately, and the five strongholds were immediately occupied by me, and in a total of two days, I recovered nine strongholds.

As a result of the victorious conclusion of the above-mentioned battles, the two major columns of our army on the left and right have successfully joined forces, and a gap of more than 80 li wide has been opened on the Zhuri Highway from Liushudian in the north to the two cities in the south, thus bringing the liberated area east of the road into one area with the base area in the west of the road and improving the position of our army in future operations.
