Chapter 17: Laughing Out of the Encirclement

After completing the task of "exchanging hostages", Minister Gu stood under the pine tree and was looking forward to the artillery fire of our troops in the southeast to storm the enemy. And looking forward to the most far-reaching mountain shadow on this hillside. He was intoxicated by the scene of our army's two co-ordinating. On the one hand, it was as if he had seen our army bravely stab the enemy in the back.

On the other hand, the distant shadow of the mountain seems to have turned into a lake and an ocean, and a huge red carp is wagging its tail away proudly. This carp stretched out its tentacles, but it was the local guide that Fang Xiao was walking with him!

Wang Hanqing quietly came to Minister Gu's side. He could tell that Minister Gu was intoxicated by the night scene on the left and right. He fully understood that it was the hard work of these unsung heroes, with a single thread of silver through the command art of our army commanders, that constituted this beautiful night scene of war.

Their work was done, they were victorious, and it was understandable to be in a state of mind that was intoxicated by the sight. He couldn't bear to disturb him, let him see enough, indulge enough!

A tracer bullet flew in and grazed the branches of the pine tree. Minister Gu glanced at it, as if thinking that it was an ordinary dragonfly flying in, indifferent and indifferent, still standing still looking at the night scene. At this time, Wang Hanqing couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand and gently touched Minister Gu's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Comrade Gu, it's time for us to gather and go!" Still watching? ”

"What a dazzling fire! What a beautiful firework! Commissar Gu pointed to the place where the battle was taking place in the southeast. Then he pointed to the mountains in front of him and said, "The mountains are really like the sea, and a big fish wags its tail and makes a sea of people!" What a beautiful scene, little dun, we should be happy! ……

Commissar Gu said, grabbing the hand on his shoulder and holding it warmly and tightly. He turned around sharply again, trying to hug each other and jumped up.

"It's me, Comrade Lao Gu, not Xiaodun," Wang Hanqing said.

Only then did Minister Gu realize that he had misheard. The rough voice was not Xiaodun, but it was Wang Hanqing, secretary of the county party committee.

"Heh, it's you, Comrade Secretary!" Minister Gu said with a loud voice, "Xiao Dun's voice is rough, I treat you as Xiao Dun!" yes, it's time for us to gather and go, where is Jiliu? What about Jiliu? ”

Xiaodun went to find Jiliu, but saw Jiliu next to the spring, rolling a wine glass with an autumn leaf, and drinking mountain spring water slowly.

"Old Song, you're so idle, it's time for us to gather!"

Lao Song raised the autumn leaf cup and said, "Xiaodun, don't be busy yet!" Come, let's have a drink! There is nowhere to find wine during the war, we use spring water instead of wine, this is the sweetest and most beautiful victory wine in the Yimeng Mountains, insurance will not get you drunk! ”

At the No. 3 telephone station in the Yimeng Mountains, the comrades chose their own preferences, and the joy that should be vented finally came to an end.

The comrades followed Wang Hanqing, secretary of the county party committee, to find a hidden place. At this time, in the southeast, the attack artillery fire of the old fifth regiment of our army was still blazing.

To the southeast, three miles away, the main forces of the Old Sixth Regiment of our army fiercely attacked from the flanks of the enemy besieging our troops. According to the characteristics of our army's close combat and night battles, the vanguard of the old sixth regiment quietly approached the enemy, captured the enemy outpost alive, swept away the enemy's vigilance, and quickly approached the enemy's assembly camp. With lightning speed, he engaged the enemy in close combat and opened fire fiercely.

In the southeast, it was the camp of the Japanese army's division and regiment that "encircled the village with an iron wall". Pingcun once proposed to Yan Junliu, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China, that "the Pingcun Division, located to the east of Longsugu, is the last to close the eastern iron wall of the mountainous area near Longsugu. At the same time as the formation of the "iron wall encirclement" array, you can open a side here, leave a way out, and lure the enemy to take the bait. In this way, the Great Wall troops of the Eighth Route Army will be completely annihilated.

It is not a coincidence that the fierce offensive of the old 5th regiment of our army is on the periphery of the Pingcun headquarters. On the left side of the Dragon's Whiskers.

Before our troops opened heavy fire, Commander Hiramura, according to reports from all sides, had further compressed the encirclement around Longsugu. Bonfires are lit all over the area of Longxugu for dozens of miles. The Shandong Eighth Route Army, codenamed with the Shandong Sub-Bureau, also issued a telegram call sign at the main peak of Longxugu.

In this situation, Pingcun was elated and full of ambition. Walk up and down the hillside of the camp to radiate the joy boiling in your heart. This bad thing imagined what kind of stone should be chosen and what style of stone tablet should be erected after stepping on the dragon and destroying the Shandong organs of the Eighth Route Army, in order to commemorate his great achievements.

As for the words written on the stele, this bad thing also thought about it repeatedly, and also asked his civil and military advisers to discuss the matter, and took the opportunity to share the joy of victory. After discussion, the words that finally fell on the paper were: Hiramura raised his sword and swept away the dragon beard

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, the bad thing, Commander Hiramura, was a little sleepy with joy, and was lying on a plane, when a heavy gunfire and explosions rang out from behind him. It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which startled him so much that he almost fell out of bed. Then he stabilized his spirits, ordered the battle, and concentrated all the mobile forces that might be captured at that time to meet the enemy in an emergency.

The Japanese invading army that invaded the anti-Japanese base area searched everywhere for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to fight a decisive battle, and fought everywhere. Once they spotted the enemy they were looking for, they flanked them and bit them viciously.

Thus, the Japanese invading army was like an enraged beast, roaring and roaring, twisting its bulky body, and ferociously pounced on its opponent. The bad, Commander Hiramura, with his shaved head bare, waving his command knife and yelling, fully showed the image of an enraged beast.

In fact, during this time when the bad things were yelling and yelling, the main peak of Longxugu replaced the troops codenamed Shandong Branch, covering the government offices of several counties and more than 600 people who had strayed into the enemy's "iron wall", and under the guidance of Fang Xiao and a few militiamen, they passed through an unnamed ravine like a stream and walked out of the Longxugu Mountains.

By the time this bad thing Hiramura sensed the enemy coming from the storm, he had already died down and quietly left. Looking back at the mountains where he had opened up the net and left a way to live, according to the patrol post, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army had gone far east and north. The pass is not trustworthy and makes people look for signs.

Later, the signs were not very promising, but there were also some things that made the bad thing's eyes glow, which were a few shabby mountain shoes that were too hard to wear, and a small wicker basket. There was nothing else in the basket but a few red leaflets. One of them reads:

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

Under the correct command of Luo Ronghuan, Zhu Rui, Chen Guang, and other leaders of the Shandong Provincial Military Region and the 115th Division, the enemy's great "sweep" once again ended in failure. However, after the failure of the enemy's "dragnet" tactic, another "encroachment" tactic was engaged.
