Chapter 122: Blood Debt (2)

The others immediately left to prepare, and Xue Ru explained to Liu Yuanshan and Dai Zong, and the two of them nodded again and again. Xue Ru said to Li Wenxiu: "Get ready, let's go out of the city and rush to the boundary card set in advance." ”

Li Wenxiu immediately beckoned Cai Suqiu, Sun Tiecheng, Zhang Jiu, and the newspaper operator Ji Bing and his party, and more than a dozen people left the headquarters, left Chaoxian County from the East City Gate, and marched towards the Jiepaiji.

Xue Ru didn't explain too much, she really couldn't believe it, Guo Shicai was a bandit after all, whether he would surrender, Xue Ru didn't know. If it's a trap, I'll send the entire Snow Fox Brigade into it.

But what if it's true? Guo Shicai They can participate in the battle of Dingyuan, they can attack Jinpu Road, how to say that it is also a war of resistance, and they can no longer see death without help. But how can fraud be prevented? Only by disrupting this deployment and acting on one's own can the plan that is a conspiracy be shattered.

Therefore, Xue Ru asked Qiu Wen to prepare three days' rations, saying that the troops would move tomorrow night, and she ordered Wei Ming to lead the reconnaissance team to set off immediately, so that he could understand the situation first.

The Snow Fox Brigade concentrated three infantry squadrons, acted that night, marched all night, and arrived at the Jiepai set at dawn, where it was only two hours away from Zhangbaling Qinglong Village. The headquarters brigade and a squadron will act tomorrow night, even if it is a real conspiracy of devils, they will inevitably send troops to intercept and ambush the brigade headquarters. It's a car, it can't be hidden, and the three squadrons of Snow Fox will come to counterattack.

If it weren't for the conspiracy, there would have been only one Japanese infantry brigade, an artillery brigade, less than two thousand people, and five hundred or so people in the three squadrons of Snow Fox would not care. Attacking head-on and fighting hard, Xue Ru will not do it, so she has this plan.

In order to facilitate the command, she led a dozen people to set off first and rushed to the boundary card set, only so few people, it would not attract attention. Besides, Xue Ru's actions were too fast, and sending Liu Yuanshan to ask Qiu Wen if the dry food was ready to be loaded into the car could also confuse them.

Liu Yuanshan, Dai Zong, and Lai Changwen understood what was going on, so Ouyang Sari said that Xue Ru was really a fox and was too cunning. Xue Ru's grand strategy is not good, and this kind of tactical use of small troops is quite convenient.

Xue Ru has been exercising for more than half a year, and she is indeed no longer what she was at the beginning, although she is still so petite, her body has grown a lot taller. Now that she is seventeen years old, some people already believe it, but her face is a little immature. Plus it's not a military uniform, so it looks very young.

As soon as these people left Chaoxian County, they immediately turned into the countryside and tried their best to avoid villages and towns, interspersed from the countryside. You can take shortcuts or conceal your whereabouts.

Lai Changwen, who was appointed by Xue Ru as the chief of staff, was very nervous, even if there were no devils here, it was not a safe place. Cai Suqiu and Sun Tiecheng didn't even put the gun in the holster, but carried it with their hands. Xue Ru didn't have any soldiers around him, so he didn't have any spears, all of them were pistols.

The four guards are one person, two guns, and two hundred rounds of ammunition, which is considered an absolute combat effectiveness, not to mention that there are only a dozen people.

Xue Ru also changed into clothes like training uniforms, the hair on his head was coiled up, empty-handed, carrying a Japanese saber, and a group of strangely dressed people rushed to the boundary card set.

The rapid march was very fast, and this distance was not far in the first place, that is, a few hours of rapid march. Just as it was getting dark, a dozen people out of breath arrived at the set.

This is not a small town, but Xue Ru and the others did not enter, but still entered the woods that had been hidden. Xue Ru sat down to rest and said: "Ji Bing turned on the radio and contacted Wei Ming and them, Zhang Zhong changed into civilian clothes, entered the town to reconnoitre, and came back by the way to buy something to eat, and the others rested." ”

Lai Changwen said: "Miss, what are you doing in such a hurry? Dai Deputy's team set off at this time, and they had to arrive before dawn at the earliest. ”

Xue Ru said, "I'm going to contact Wei Ming and them first to see where Dai Zong's troops are informed." Maybe you don't have to go here, you go straight to the location, and we have to prevent it from being true. ”

Lai Changwen nodded, it seems that Xue Ru has made two preparations. When Sun Tiecheng hadn't come back yet, Ji Bing said, "Miss, telegraph." ”

This is Wei Ming's telegram, and after glancing at the telegram, Xue Ru said to Ji Bing: "Contact Deputy Dai and order them to rush to Moshupo in Zhangbaling and meet us there." ”

Lai Changwen said: "Really? ”

Xue Ru nodded, handed the telegram to him and said, "It seems to be true, but why did the devil make so much effort?" Unknown? As far as Guo Shicai's people are concerned, there must be a reason why they put so much effort into it. ”

Lai Changwen said: "Maybe the devils see that they threaten the safety of Jinpu Road, after all, as long as Guo Shicai and them exist, this road will not be safe." ”

Xue Ru said: "It can be understood in this way, but using an artillery brigade and an infantry brigade to attack Qinglong Village is a bit of a fuss. ”

I can't study it for a long time, and I can only think that the devil wants to ensure the safety of Jinpu Road and does not allow Guo Shicai and them to exist, so they must be eliminated.

Wei Ming's report confirmed that the devil used the strength of two brigades to surround Qinglong Village. Zhang Baling is a mountainous area with complex terrain, and Guo Shicai and they occupy a favorable location. It was only under the bombardment of mountain artillery that the front village was destroyed, and Guo Shicai and they retreated to the back mountain, and the situation was precarious.

There are four or five hundred people in Qinglongzhai, but Dingyuan lost nearly half of them in the first battle, and the number of troops is not much, not even three hundred. Guo Shicai, who has so many troops and no weapons and ammunition, is also struggling to support, and the casualties are not small.

At this time, inside the last line of defense in the back mountain, looking at the dark sky outside, the second village master, that is, Guo Shicai's own brother Guo Mingshun, said: "Big brother, let's take advantage of the night to kill it, otherwise we will all die here." ”

Guo Shicai glared and said, "Second brother, are you afraid of death?" ”

Guo Mingshun said: "Big brother, when did my brother follow you to be a soft egg?" The head is off, and the bowl is a big scar. However, it's not worth dying like this, besides, Director Qiu's police security corps is just a delivery of goods, can he come? ”

Guo Shicai also knew that it was just hope. As for Qiu Wen's 1,800 people, they can't solve the problem when they come. But he couldn't leave these people on the mountain. With his own troops, he will not be able to take these people away. Many of the brothers in the mountains are family members, and those brothers died because they fought devils with them, and their families said that they couldn't leave anything behind, and they would die together.

Guo Shicai regretted that he should not have attacked the railway, otherwise it would not have been like this. To know such a result, send these people to Chao County first, it's all fucking listening to that little girl to get like this.

I don't know if I was right this time, so he asked Qiu Wen to inform him that he was going to find the Snow Fox Corps. A brigade of more than 2,000 devils is nothing for the Snow Fox Corps of eight or nine thousand people. He only heard that Xue Ru had sent troops to attack Dingyuan, so he believed her words and moved the Japanese railway.

Why did Xue Ru retreat again, Guo Shicai can also understand a little, he was originally a soldier, and understood that the 31st Army and the 7th Army retreated to the north of the Huai River, and Xue Ru could no longer settle down, so it was meaningless.

Based on these considerations, Qiu Wen went to find Xue Ru, but I don't know if this little woman will save him. If Xue Ru doesn't come, then he will be finished. Thinking about it, he said: "You take your brothers, send those people in the back mountain down the mountain, and take people out of the gap in the middle of the devil's encirclement to cover their evacuation here." ”

Guo Mingshun said: "Just more than 100 of us, not at all. ”

Guo Shicai said: "The devil is not familiar with the road, you quietly walk along the woods, as long as you can get out of the encirclement, I will cover." ”

Zhong Wantao said: "Big brother, you go, I'll stay and drag the devil." ”

Guo Shicai said: "Don't fight, everyone who goes out will go to Chao County to find Qiu Wen, he will settle you, and I can kill it myself." ”

Guo Mingshun also wanted to say, Guo Shicai glared: "Shut up, you're disobedient, aren't you?" It's just dark now, wait a while, and the devil will relax. In the middle of the night, I took them out on the path, and I came to cover the back. ”

The two of them didn't dare to keep their mouths out, and they also knew that they still had a hundred or so people, and there were so many devils, once they found out, no one would be able to leave. I nodded and agreed, arranged for people to prepare in the back mountain, and left here late at night for a while.

Xue Ru and Liu Yuanshan suspected fraud, just because they didn't understand that Guo Shicai, who was a bandit, found that he couldn't beat the devil, why didn't he break through and escape, and he still had to persevere. Because of Xue Ru, none of them knew about the situation in Qinglong Village.

Guo Shicai is a very righteous person, and he brought his brothers and family members scattered all over the country to Qinglong Village. It was he who promised the brothers to take care of their families. After returning from Dingyuan, he brought Yuan Hong's wife and son to live in the mountains. Qinglongzhai also took in a lot of people, so he had more than 500 people, but there were more than 1,000 people on the mountain.

The attack on the train was also to get food, after all, more than a thousand people had to eat to live. The conditions in the mountains are difficult, and there is not much arable land.

But this angered the Japanese, and the Jinpu Road, which had just been opened to traffic, was burdened with the supply of two or three divisions and regiments, and was an important channel for transporting supplies from the Yangtze River to Bengbu in Huainan. Once this railway was cut off, the Japanese were simply unable to attack. The battle in Xuzhou was already in full swing, and the Front Army ordered the 9th Division and the 13th Division to launch an attack as soon as possible to respond to the Xuzhou operation.

At this time, the bandits of Qinglongzhai actually blew up the railway and robbed the train, which is intolerable. Lieutenant General Ogisu Libing of the 13th Division ordered the 65th Wing to eliminate this bandit and ensure that the Jinpu Road was unblocked.

It cannot but be said that Guo Shicai provoked the sore spot of the Japanese, and Dazuo did not dare to delay the two-corner operation, and sent a brigade of infantry and a mountain artillery brigade artillery to attack. According to intelligence, Qinglongzhai has four or five hundred troops, and there are also one or two thousand people.

It is for these reasons that the Japanese army mobilized so many troops, intending to eliminate them in one fell swoop and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. There are also things that the Japanese army doesn't know, that is, Guo Shicai no longer has so many people, and more than 1,000 are just ordinary people.

Under the attack of heavy artillery, the front village of Qinglong Village was lost, Guo Shicai retreated to the back mountain, and the devils who rushed into the front village were killed when they saw people, and the Qinglong Village was washed in blood. The two-cornered operation Dazuo wanted to scare these Chinese with killing.

Guo Shicai, who retreated to the back mountain, took advantage of the terrain to make the devil artillery useless. But the number of devils surpassed them too much, so there was no way for a while, and Guo Shicai, who couldn't hold on, remembered Qiu Wen and asked him to take someone to pick up the families of these brothers.

At the same time, there was a glimmer of hope, if the Snow Fox Special Combat Team could come, there would be a glimmer of hope, but Guo Shicai didn't dare to hope, so he decided to send these people out from the side path.

Guo Shicai didn't know how much the devil attached importance to Jinpu Road. Akiki Muranaka, the commander of the 3rd Brigade who led the attack, also wanted to completely kill all the Chinese and ensure the safety of Jinpu Road. He scattered his forces and surrounded Qinglong Village from all sides.

Zhangbaling is not a deep mountain area, it is a small mountainous area composed of some shallow mountains and hills, which is a hilly area compared with the real large mountainous area. It's just that there are no big mountains around, all plains, and this place stands out.

Such terrain is not suitable for the army to hold on for a long time, and it is easy for devils to attack. Guo Shicai, who was surrounded by the Ming trees in the village, it was not easy for them to leave through the path.

What's more, there are more than 300 people who can be protected, although there are no old ones, but there are many children. Guo Shicai still had less than a hundred people, and Guo Mingshun and Zhong Wantao led about 50 people to protect them from both sides, and went down the mountain along the path, wanting to pass through the gaps of the devils.

Guo Shicai took another person to break off from behind, and acted later for safety. The Japanese surrounded the perimeter with bonfires and guarded them, hoping to wait until dawn to attack. Such a blockade cannot be guarded one by one, and there are always some gaps in between.

More than 300 people lined up in two teams, moving forward in a chaotic manner, Zhong Wantao led people from one side, Guo Ming obeyed the other side, and walked outside through the barren grass and trees, trying his best not to make a sound.

Qiuhua hugged the child tightly, he was too small, but in order not to make a sound, he untied his clothes, gagged the child's mouth with his nipple, and carefully followed these people forward.

They all know that those people in the front mountain were killed by the devil, she didn't want to die, and her husband was also a soldier and died on the battlefield. Guo Shicai was righteous and brought the two of them who couldn't live happily to the mountain, which made Qiuhua very grateful. The child is almost two years old, and he wants to raise the child to be worthy of his husband, which is the blood of the Ding family.

But it was too dark and very nervous, and the figure of the devil seen in the firelight in the distance unconsciously sped up. The people in front have already left the blockade, and half of the people, as long as they all leave the blockade, will be safe.

But the more careful you are, the more problems arise, nervously looking at the autumn flowers in the distance, and the child in her hand almost didn't fall to the ground. This time the nipple left the child's mouth, and the frightened child let out a loud cry, and in the quiet night, this sound came far away.

Zhong Wantao was frightened, it was broken, he was just about to see who made the sound, and there was a voice of a devil in the distance. The night was far away, and there was another baby's cry, and the devil did not understand what was going on.

If you don't make a sound at this time, you may be fine. But these people are all ordinary people, who have not received these trainings, and when they hear the child crying, there are devils in the distance shouting, and I don't know who shouted: "Run!" ”

This time, these people bombed the camp, screaming and running outside, and this time it was completely exposed. On both sides are two squads of devils, who are far away and bear this cordon. The squad leader shouted: "The person is going to run, kill and give." ”

The devil soldiers jumped up and rushed over as they opened fire. Zhong Wantao and Guo Mingshun also shouted: "Brothers fight." ”

There was an exchange of fire, bullets flew sideways, the people who ran were knocked down, and the bandits on the mountain were also knocked down, in the shooting, Guo Shicai's people couldn't do it at all, and they panicked, which was the opponent of the devil. Guo Shicai, who was behind, was taken aback, and led people to rush towards the devils of the squad, shouting: "Don't panic, rush out, brothers, resist it." ”

But the devil is not the only one, the captain Akiki Muranaka received the report and immediately ordered his entire brigade to rush here and surround these people.
