Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (76)

A few days have passed since the last time the small market grabbed grain, the autumn is getting cooler day by day, the autumn night is a little cooler, the moon is dark and the wind is high, a bleak, the tree with a few leaves on the bank of the river has finally fallen away, leaving skinny branches, and in the dark night, like a monster with teeth and claws. Anhui Ferry was busy for a while, but it was not noisy, Liu Boss asked his son to row the ferry over, and went to find other boatmen by himself, regardless of the size of the boat, just come to pick up people, last time I received the benefits of others, this time I should help, the Chinese people, simple and simple. As soon as Gao Guixuan crossed the river, he called Boss Liu's son aside and asked him about the Japanese puppet army in the small city. What Mr. Liu's eldest son said was similar to what he said to Helao Xiang, but he told Gao Guixuan in detail that there was still food in the warehouse that had not been transported, so there was still a puppet platoon and a Japanese squad on duty there tonight.

Jiang Chunyang's heart was relaxed for a while, just have some food, so many fellow villagers have helped, and they will be able to share some benefits in a while. Gao Guixuan is a soldier, he didn't think about these at all, he was only thinking about how to fight, since the Japanese puppet army was divided into three points, then three companies and one family. The seventh company has come back, this time it is a revisit to the old place, to the ancestral hall of the Wang family, where the puppet army company is located, in addition to the company headquarters There are two platoons, which is relatively relaxed. He personally led the Eighth Company to the Xu Family Ancestral Hall, where was the Japanese squadron headquarters, in addition to the squadron headquarters, there were also two infantry squads, which were hard bones. The Ninth Company was led by Jiang Chunyang to the Qi family ancestral hall, which was a warehouse.

"Hit the Wangjia ancestral hall quickly, Xujia Hutong must be blocked, and the Japanese army can't be allowed to rush out, the Japanese puppet army in Qijia Hutong must be mainly defending, and will not attack easily, so I will grind with them, and grind until the seventh company reinforces the Wangjia ancestral hall." Gao Guixuan said to the three company commanders below: "The most difficult thing must be Xujia Hutong, we must pay attention to proportion, we can't seal them all, we must let the Japanese army go out for reinforcements, and we can't let them come out too much at once, we can't fight if we come out too much, but it will disrupt our position." Two grenadiers at the battalion headquarters followed the actions of the Ninth Company. ”

Gao Guixuan took Balian, under the leadership of Liu Lao's son, to the Xu family ancestral hall. From a distance, you can see why the Japanese army chose this place, and the conditions here are really different. This ancestral hall was built in the densely populated area of the small market, and the two side entrances were dead ends, which could not lead to the back of the ancestral hall, but only to the small street at the front gate, which was in the same direction as the main entrance. The small street is not big, the front is the courtyard of the household, the courtyard gate is opposite to the front door of the ancestral hall, and the ground paved with bluestone slabs in the middle of the small street is flat and smooth. The Xu family may be a big family, the ancestral hall is quite exquisite, and there are two red lanterns hanging at the door, which are very conspicuous in the dark night. Two Japanese sentries leaned on the pillar in front of them, wrapped in overcoats, the strap of the 38 rifle hung on their shoulders, the gun was horizontal in front of them, and from a distance, it seemed that they were very vigilant.

Climb the wall and enter the courtyard of the house directly opposite the ancestral hall, the dog hole under the threshold is the best shooting hole, and two Czech-style guns are placed here, and the muzzle of the gun is aimed at the main entrance of the ancestral hall. About ten meters away from the main entrance, the courtyard wall opposite became a bunker, and the wall was full of full-fledged infantrymen. They found two stairs and sent a squad of brothers up to the roof next to the ancestral hall, their job was not to volley, but to prepare the Japanese army to go to the house, and once someone went to the room, they could expose themselves.

Everything is ready, let Boss Liu's son return to the Wang family ancestral hall and tell the Seventh Company that it can start.

The commander of the seventh company was very decisive this time, after a row of guns knocked out the two sentries at the door, five * blew up the door of the Wang family ancestral hall, and threw the * in his hand in a row, he planned to throw a hundred into it first, to see if he could set the ancestral hall on fire, as long as it was on fire, if the puppet soldiers did not come out, they could only be burned alive inside.

Less than thirty* were thrown, and someone inside was heard shouting: "Stop blowing up, surrender, blow up again and die." ”

The commander of the seventh company raised his hand to make the brothers stop dropping bombs, shouting: "Come out, I'll count one, two, three, if you don't come out, you will blow up again." ”

Just when counting one, two, three, the soldiers of the seventh company lit the torches and threw them at the door of the ancestral hall, and after a while, a bonfire was formed, illuminating the entrance of the ancestral hall.

"Don't blow up, don't blow up, just come out." Five disheveled members of the National People's Republic of China came out, barefoot, wrapped in a quilt, which was torn out by shrapnel several times, and cotton wool flew in the wind.

"Untie the quilt and throw it on the ground." The commander of the seventh company was very careful, afraid that there would be something strange about these guys, and whether there would be weapons hidden in the quilt. Five puppet soldiers untied the quilt, and inside they turned out to be naked, three were wearing shorts, and two were naked.

"Just the five of you?" After waiting for a while, no one came out, the seventh company commander asked.

One of the five replied: "Sir, there is, but I'm afraid there won't be many people left to breathe." ”

The commander of the seventh company asked people to go in with torches to take a look, what a hell on earth! On the ground of the ancestral hall, the walls were full of stumps and broken arms, and blood was flowing everywhere, and the thirty or so * actually had such great power, and the commander of the seventh company himself was a little frightened. Twenty-one died, sixteen were wounded, five of them were very badly wounded, and I was afraid that they would not live long. These five came out to surrender because the pillars in the ancestral hall saved them, and more importantly, their shops were relatively remote and shrapnel could not fly.

Twenty-one plus sixteen, plus five alive, plus two sentinels at the door, forty-four people, not enough! Isn't there supposed to be two platoons and a company here? There should be 38 people in a platoon, and there should be more than 80 people in the company. The commander of the seventh company asked the five alive what was going on.

One of the five, a platoon leader, was relatively old, with an Anqing accent, and said: "Sir, we were attacked last time, and more than 20 brothers died, and there has been no replenishment, and there are less than 90 people left in the entire company, and today the escort boat went to more than 20 people, and there are more than 60 people left in the small market, and a third went to the Qi family ancestral hall, there are only so many here." ”

"Which one is the company commander?" The commander of the seventh company asked.

The platoon commander of the founding army pointed to the one that had been bombed the most and said, this is. One* landed directly on his stomach and exploded, blowing the person into two parts, the central one, and completely disappeared.

The commander of the seventh company personally led a platoon to clean up the battlefield here, and the other two platoons quickly reinforced, one platoon went to the Xu family ancestral hall, and the other platoon went to the Qi family ancestral hall.

The first gunshot from the Wang family ancestral hall came, the reaction of the Xu family ancestral hall and the Qi family ancestral hall was really completely different, the Qi family ancestral hall actually had a searchlight, which was immediately lit up, and the top of the ancestral hall shone around, and the front door was immediately opened, and several figures rushed to the bunker at the door, and the light of the flashlight also lit up.

Jiang Chunyang hid at the end, his buttocks were numb with excitement, and he said to the commander of the ninth company: "Didn't the battalion commander hand over the two 27 grenadiers to us?" Can you throw two shells over and throw them at the gate, even if you can't kill people, at least you can be scared. ”

The commander of the Ninth Company smiled and said, "Such a big target, if it is still thrown crookedly, it will make people laugh when it is said." "Tell the platoon commander to organize a few gunmen, and as soon as the cannon sounds, he will immediately attack and knock out the searchlight on the top of the ancestral hall.

The two grenadiers, who are usually noble treasures, waiters with good wine and good food, have also practiced a skill, and the 27 grenadiers are in their hands, not to mention where to fight, eighty or ninety from ten can still be done. Visually squatting at a distance of 200 meters, it happened to be an old grave, a natural bunker, and the old gunner made a few fingers with a gesture, the angle, the distance, knew it in his chest, and said: "Put!" "Two* flew out with red flames and landed at the door of the ancestral hall. The Japanese soldiers at the entrance of the ancestral hall watched the two things dragging the red flame from far and near, knowing that they were sent from the grenadiers*, and they couldn't take a step when they wanted to run. "Boom" twice, after the explosion at the entrance of the ancestral hall*, no one called outside the door, but heard a scream coming from the door. Several pieces of shrapnel flew into the ancestral hall from the front door and hit several unlucky people inside.

The searchlight on the top immediately locked onto the grenadier position two hundred meters away, and the two crooked handles next to the searchlight also immediately spat out tongues of fire, and the bullets flew over, breaking the bluestone stele at the head of the old grave in two. The grenadier hiding behind the old grave kowtowed to the owner of the grave, thanking the ancestors who don't know whose family blessed, and tomorrow they will burn incense and paper to thank them.

The platoon leader saw the tongue of fire on the roof of the building, and immediately changed his mind, the target changed from a searchlight to a machine gun, and after a burst of gunfire, the two machine guns were dumbfounded, the searchlight also lost control, and the light shone into the sky.

There were grenadiers outside, and the defenders of the Qi family ancestral hall knew that this was not an ordinary army, but a regular army, and they no longer sent people out of the front door, let alone to operate the searchlight on the roof, but set up a bunker in the front door, put the machine gun on the rack, and prepared to wait for help.

The Qi family ancestral hall can be helped, but the Japanese troops in the Xu family ancestral hall can not be helped, not only can they not wait for help, but they also have to take on the responsibility of reinforcement. The first gunshot in the Wang family ancestral hall was like a horn, causing the Japanese troops in the Xu family ancestral hall to bounce up like an electric shock, and 28 infantry members of two squads of the vanguard unit immediately rushed out of the gate. The sentry at the door also came to his senses and told the captain of the pig-headed squad who came out of the ancestral hall that he had not noticed anything, and the gunshots were coming from the direction of the Wang family ancestral hall. At this time, there was a rumbling explosion from the ancestral hall of the Wang family.

The leader of the pig-headed squad shouted a few orders, and the infantry of the two squads immediately formed two columns and ran to reinforce.

Before they had run fifty paces, dozens of sticks were officially fired at the same time on the opposite wall, and before the Japanese squad could react, they all fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The sentry at the door saw it and began to scream wildly.

From the side of the ancestral hall gate, an adobe brick was pushed open, a crooked handle spat out tongues of fire, bullets shot at the wall of the opposite house, the second platoon of the eighth company ambushed at the head of the wall was caught off guard, several soldiers were shot, and fell down from the wall.

The second group of reinforcements rushed out, this time, they were prepared, while firing guns, they rushed out, and a young man shouted at the door: "Kill the chicken!" ”

The two Czechs hidden in the dog hole couldn't hold back any longer, one hugged the machine gun plate machine, and the 7.92 caliber bullet swept away according to the back waist of the reinforcement team, one hit from head to tail, and the other hit from tail to head, the machine gun that hit the tail hit the Japanese Shaozo who was waving a knife and shouting at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

From outside the wall, dozens of * flew in, landed in the side street, and bombed the first batch of Japanese reinforcements and the second batch of Japanese reinforcements again, maybe there were a few fish that slipped through the net before, and after this explosion, all of them died too much to die again.

The Japanese army was able to rush out of the front door, but they couldn't rush out of the small street, and they couldn't think of any other tricks for a while, so they didn't send the third batch of reinforcements, and the Xu family ancestral hall also stopped for a while.

At this time, the gunshots of the Qi family ancestral hall came, and the sound of grenadiers, the Japanese squadron leader knew that if there were no reinforcements, the Qi family ancestral hall would be captured sooner or later, and there were still tens of thousands of catties of food in it. Counting the troops at hand, there were less than two squads here, because of the escort of grain ships, two infantry squads were dispatched, so the infantry squad on the side of the Qi family ancestral hall was left with only one infantry squad, a machine gun squad and a grenadier squad, which could be described as incomplete, in order to increase their strength, an infantry squad was drawn from the two squads in the Xu family ancestral hall to assist in the defense of the Qi family ancestral hall. So there was only one full infantry squad and one infantry squad missing a squad, as well as nineteen men in the squadron headquarters. Two sorties of reinforcements threw out thirty men from three infantry squads and one machine gun squad, and now, with two infantry squads, one machine gun squad and two grenadier squads in hand, a total of forty-four people, plus nineteen men from the squadron headquarters, it is only sixty-three. How can you break out of the siege and reinforce the Qi family ancestral hall!

The noble choice took advantage of it again and again, and it was very proud. He knew that the first reinforcement of the Japanese army was completely careless, and he did not guard against an ambush outside, and sent two squads of infantry, and actually formed a marching column, which was no different from sending him to death. The second time, he knew that there was an ambush and was prepared, but he was too eager to achieve the results and wanted to use the powerful fire of the machine gun to hit it hard, but he ended up guarding the wall, but he did not reach the dog hole under the wall. After that, the commander of the eighth company asked people to throw dozens of * from the courtyard wall to the side street, that was the stroke of genius, the fifty devils who fell on the side street, there may have been wounded soldiers before, and some pretended to be dead, this time, there is nothing.

The captain of the Japanese squadron will count, and the noble election will also be counted, you only have two squads and a brigade headquarters here, a total of only about 120 people, and this time you will clean up a small half, see what else you can play.
