Chapter 3: Invincible (8)

Going to the strategic warehouses and transportation ports of the Japanese army on the front line of Zhapu in Jiaxing to engage in materials has become a major hobby of the Xu brothers.

From Changxing to Jiaxing, the distance is more than 100 kilometers, there are automobile roads to communicate, the war has not yet burned here, the open-minded and tolerant local people still live and work in peace and contentment, do business still sell, open restaurants still shout. In their opinion, the Japanese came in, and it was similar to Lao Jiang beating Sun Chuanfang ten years ago. There are also a few people who associate the Japanese with the Japanese in the Ningbo area in those years, saying that they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, but this theory was opposed by most people, believing that the Japanese were Japanese and Japan was Japan, and how could the things of ancient times be generalized with today.

During the period when Xu Ping retreated to Jiaxing, in order to help Li Baicheng get five infantry guns back, he robbed two cars in the hands of the Japanese, and in order to get these two cars back, he also hijacked two private car drivers in Jiaxing City, and then let these two drivers be coaches, so that his subordinates learned to drive. After arriving in Changxing, these two Nissan Rabbit 80 devil trucks became the main means of transportation for Xu Ping and his group from Changxing to Jiaxing.

On the way from Changxing to Jiaxing is Wu Xing of the 172nd Division and Nanxun of the 170th Division, the 172nd Division is Zhang Guangwei's territory, and the 170th Division is Luo Huo's territory, both of which are old relatives of the 1056th Regiment, not only unimpeded, but sometimes reception, especially the 170th Division, because of the siege in Liuhang, the top and bottom are full of gratitude to the 1056 Regiment, and the hospitality is not just ordinary enthusiasm, often making Xu Ping and others drunk, so they let them drive away.

In order to strengthen the leadership ability of the Seventh Army, Xu Qiming returned to the military department to perform the duties of deputy commander, and the commander of the 170th Division was temporarily replaced by Luo Huo, and the deputy division commander was Xia Guozhang, the younger brother of Xia Wei, a general of the Gui Department. Xia Guozhang, like his brother Xia Wei, graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, returned to Guangxi after graduation, and served as the commander of the 3rd Company of the Guangxi Thief Army Engineer Battalion of Huang Shaohong. In 1926, he accompanied the Northern Expedition, and in 1932, Xia Guozhang entered the 14th phase of the Army University for further study, and returned to Guangxi after graduating in the spring of 1935 and served as the colonel section chief of the General Headquarters of the 4th Group Army. In 1936, the Guangxi Army was organized into the 5th Route Army, and he served as the commander of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division, and in May of the following year, he was awarded the rank of major general and promoted to the commander of the 522nd Brigade of the 174th Division of the 48th Army; After the Battle of Liu Xing, in order to strengthen the strength of the 170th Division, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the division.

When you arrive in Jiaxing, the situation is completely different, you can already see scattered Japanese here, doing business, selling Rendan, some wearing kimonos, some dressed similarly to Westerners. After Jiashan, you can see groups of Japanese soldiers, lined up and swaggering through the market.

After the Japanese landed at Jinshanwei, they set up a logistics supply base in the area around Zhapu to comprehensively replenish the battle losses on the front line. Yanagawa Heisuke led the Tenth Army from south to north, attacking Wujiang and Wuzhong along the east of Taihu Lake, and directly reaching the Wufu line, Matsui Ishine led the Shanghai dispatch army from east to west, eating the national army on the front line of Kunshan Dachang, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi's third fleet entered the water surface of the Yangtze River north of Fukuyama, attacked on three sides, and won the first line of defense of the national army: the Wufu line.

As usual, after driving the car to Jiaxing, the action began. In the past few times, Xu Ping's targets were in Japanese plainclothes in the Jiaxing area, and he found that the Japanese, whether they wore kimonos or suits, were spies of the Japanese army, and they entered the front line of Jiaxing for the purpose of exploring the way for the Japanese army to advance westward. The bodyarms of the plainclothes agents were one person and one southern fourteen, and the bullets were in addition to the guns. There was only one spare magazine, so the sellers became bullet refillers, and they disguised the bullets as boxes of Rindan and put them together with the real Rindan. It was Rendan that was sold to the common people, and what was sold to the Japanese was bullets. In their eyes, a Japanese plainclothes is equivalent to a southern fourteen, a merchant who sells Rendan is five boxes of 250 rounds of ammunition, and of course, there are a lot of Rendan and the ocean obtained from selling Rendan as an add. During this time, they killed more than 30 Japanese plainclothes and captured more than 30 Nanfang 14, not only so that the brothers of the engineer company were equipped with pistols, but even the brothers of the baggage team also had Nanfang 14, and the brothers affectionately called this gun "made in the East".

This time, they wanted to rob the Japanese munitions car, and according to Xu Ping's statement, if they didn't get it, they wouldn't get it, and they would get a car if they got it. It's not been a day or two that they've been paying attention to this car. Cars are also a rarity in Japan, and there are not many cars in Japan, and a brigade is just a few cars. Every time a car is sent out to carry out a mission, it is usually two vehicles, one pulling munitions and the other is a Japanese soldier sitting in an escort car. The escort is an infantry squad, and there is no way to know what exactly the arms are transported, but it can only be what is robbed, and what can be used is used, and what is not used is sold, and the military department only gives the military salaries of the three integrated battalions of the 1056th Regiment, and as for the food and chewing of other people, it all depends on self-financing. Although Xu Ping couldn't figure out what kind of goods were being pulled on the car, they made it clear what the Japanese squad that escorted the car consisted of.

The Japanese army had 13 men per squad, including 1 squad leader, 4 machine gun shooters and 8 riflemen. (There is a Taisho 11 light machine gun, with four people, namely the commander, the shooter, and two deputy shooters with ammunition), all four of whom are equipped with self-defense pistols, that is, the southern 14 that Xu Ping made the most during this time, and the remaining eight riflemen, each with a 38 rifle. The Japanese squad had three squads and a grenadier squad, the grenadier squad was equipped with three 50 mm grenadiers, two people carried a grenadier with artillery shells, plus one squad leader, 7 people, in addition to the squad leader, signal corps, orderly, secretary general and four baggage soldiers, a total of 54 people.

The reason why Xu Ping changed the target to the military train was because someone told them that in the past few days, the Japanese military train had changed direction, and instead of going to Wuzhong, it turned to Pingwang and unloaded the train, and it was estimated that it was preparing to move on the national army in Nanxun.

Don't send things to the door, that's impolite, you should laugh and accept, the so-called laughing, is to accept with a smile.

I have come many times, and the area of Zhapu in Jiaxing is as familiar as the back garden of my own home.

In order to cooperate with the army train this time, Huang Tianhua also sent Xu Le and his gang out, and they were responsible for the ambush. According to the theoretical calculation of Chief of Staff Huang Tianhua, 50 people, 50 guns, one gun per person, is enough to clean up the Japanese squad.

Two warriors set off with their burdens on their shoulders, and their job was to find out when the cart carrying the munitions would come out and the others were ready to rob.

The car came out, drove very slowly, shook for a long time, only passed Jiaxing, had a simple lunch in Jiaxing, and continued to set off, the Japanese did not expect that from now on, they would enter the ghost gate arranged for them by the Xu brothers.

With a lonely gunshot, the driver of the first car was hit by a bullet that came from the right, hit the driver's temple and remained in his head. The lieutenant squad leader sitting next to the driver jumped in with a convulsion, pulled the handbrake, pulled the car door and jumped down.

Before he could hit the ground, a bullet flew from the left and hit the lieutenant squad leader directly in the chest, falling to the ground on the spot.

The Japanese army was really well-trained, and even if the squad leader died, the other soldiers still did not forget their duties, and jumped out of the carriage without hesitation, and came to the car behind, surrounded by the regiments, and kept a close guard.

After guarding the car for half an hour, he did not hear the third gunshot, and only stood until the Japanese calves were numb. At this time, from behind the carriage board of the previous car, another devil ran out and ran to the lieutenant squad leader who fell to the ground to take a look, and sure enough, he was dead, dead without any breath. Throw the body of the squad leader into the car, drag the dead driver out, throw it into the car, get a driver out of the passenger seat of the rear car, come to the front car, and continue to travel.

Less than 500 meters, another gunshot rang out, and this time, it was the driver of a car behind him who died. The driver of the previous car was trying to hide when a fourth bullet caught him.

This time it's troublesome, not every Japanese can drive, two cars and three drivers, it's already very redundant, who knows that they will all die.

The Japanese were really shrewd, and immediately sent two teams, two people in each group, one in front of the other, from the ditch on the side of the highway to Pingwang and Jiaxing. Xu Ping's people are all plainclothes, and there is one of them, and he also carries a Rendan burden.

Xu Le let the strongest sharpshooters in his company go to shoot cold guns, whether he can kill people is not a big problem, the important thing is not to hit the car, last time he said that he would give Zhang Guangwei two trucks, and they landed on the two in front of him.

One shot in the east and one shot in the west, the gun bit the flesh, and in a short time, seven or eight died. The Japanese, who were standing by the two cars, were so angry that they built simple fortifications on the side of the road, threw their crooked handles on them, and fired fiercely at the bullets.

"The Japanese have so much firepower!" Xu Le said: "Fighting against this kind of firepower is asking for trouble." ”

"So I didn't look for it, the boss never thought about fighting face-to-face with the Japanese." Xu Ping said: "His Japanese instructor said that the total number of Japanese is only more than 70 million, and China has 40,000 people, and the advantage is obvious. The boss said, if the six of us fight one, how can we wipe out the Japanese. Therefore, in a war with the Japanese, the first thing is to kill people, as long as you kill all his people, see what he uses to occupy China. ”

"That is, the Japanese want territory, give it to you, give you all of China, how many people can you put in one county, Lao Tzu will kill one county to another, see if you can kill you or not." Xu Le said: "Brother, this time you take it away and let my people kill more Japanese, it's enjoyable." ”

"I left these two cars, you bag near the car, tomorrow before dawn, if you can't kill them all, I'll do it." Xu Ping smiled: "Now, I sleep." You just have to rest assured, there will be no Japanese patrols on this road, only those guys who sell Rendan, I have already arranged it, and there will be no mercy. ”

Xu Le smiled: "Okay, I'll do things first, if I can't finish it, you can do it again." ”

Not long after, I went to block the two ends of the report back, and the Japanese soldiers who went to report the news of the two teams were killed, and there was a little devil, looking at the person who picked up the burden of Rendan, like seeing his own father, he cried with a handful of snot and tears, until he saw the bayonet stabbed out of the chest, and he knew that he had recognized the wrong father.

Xu Ping asked, "Didn't shoot?" ”

"No" replied.

"It's not fun if you don't shoot a gun." Xu Ping said: "Go back and shoot two shots, and lead two more out to kill, so as to reduce the burden on Xu Le's side a little." ”

Not far from both sides, two gunshots rang out, and not long after, next to the car, two more squads of four people ran down the old road one after the other. Not long after, the gunshots were heard again, and this time, no Japanese ran any further, and they knew that if they went out in broad daylight, they could only shoot live targets.

The machine guns stopped for a long time, and no gunfire was heard on the side of the car, just when the Japanese thought that the harassers might be gone, they fired a row of guns. This row of guns was a bit ruthless, Xu Le carried out a strict division of labor for everyone, two guns took care of one person, and shot from the side of two cars at the same time. After firing the shot, immediately conceal and do not allow the Japanese to fight back.

In this row of guns, the Japanese squad had twenty-one dead and three wounded, and with the previous deaths, thirty-seven people had died. The remaining twenty Japanese went crazy, and they shot crookedly from three directions, breaking how many reeds and grasses, beating pheasants all over the sky and rats crawling all over the ground.

After this burst of gunfire, no more gunfire was heard until the sun went down.

The Japanese who had been lying on the ground went crazy, and a Japanese man faced the sun, tore his clothes and screamed, what he called, no one could understand him, and no one paid attention to him. Immediately after, all the Japanese shouted around the car, and there was no expected gunshot, and the Japanese believed that the Chinese had gone.

In the faint darkness of the night, the third team of four Japanese soldiers once again embarked on the journey of reporting the news, this time they went farther, but they still heard the familiar sound of gunfire, and all the Japanese next to the car involuntarily twitched.

Immediately after, ghostly bullets appeared, and with a single gunshot, it was a life, and before it was completely dark, six more Japanese went to see Hades.

It was late at night, and the ten Japanese who were still alive did not dare to sleep, they did not know if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow if they slept on this night. The moon came out, shining on the cars on the road, and also on the Japanese beside the car, they still ate something in Jiaxing at noon, more than ten hours passed, a burst of hunger and cold came out, sour water came out of their mouths, looking at the corpses around them, a little envious of them, at least they didn't know that they were hungry. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the thin clothes on my body are difficult to resist the cold wind of early winter, so I can only peel off the clothes of my dead colleagues, and while peeling them off, I thought, Nong is a laughing idiot who is buried today, and he knows who it is when he buries Nong, and I don't know who will strip my clothes. Nervousness, hunger, and cold completely crushed the ten Japanese both mentally and physically, and life was better than death.

An hour passed, another hour passed, the moon went down in the western mountains, the dawn had not yet come, the darkness before the dawn, that was the real darkness. The ditches on both sides of the highway were already full of Xu Ping's people. As long as he heard Xu Ping's order, he would pounce on them like a group of hungry tigers.

Xu Ping had already touched the side of the car, and on the simple fortifications, he faintly saw the crooked barrel pointing to the sky, and saw Xu Ping shouting: "Kill!" Six flashlights shone at the side of the car at the same time.

The situation next to the car surprised them. On the side of the empty car, there was a shadow of a Japanese soldier somewhere.

"Search!" Xu Ping shouted.

Light torches and illuminate this place, and there are no Japanese people around, where did they go? The ground was littered with the naked corpses of the Japanese, stripped of their clothes, and all the guns were there. Xu Ping asked everyone to throw the Japanese corpses and guns into the car, and his own people also got into the car, got into the car, turned around and left.

Xu Ping didn't expect that the Japanese who were hiding did not run far, they followed the ditch on the side of the highway to a mud pond not far away, and hid themselves in the mud. They estimated well, and in the end, someone rushed to the car, but they didn't expect that these people would even drive away with the corpse and the car. What kind of people are these people, they use Nissan firearms, they wear civilian clothes, whether they are bandits, or regular soldiers, their marksmanship is so accurate that it makes people shudder to think about it.
