14. The broadsword team kills the enemy to show its might
When Ah Mao looked at it again, it turned out to be her husband, surprised and delighted, and asked, "Why are you so embarrassed?" Ah Mao was weak, and told the lady what happened yesterday so far, and the lady listened to the tears, and called Ah Mao's life is great, and there will be a blessing if he does not die. Ah Mao entered the house and saw the lady and suddenly felt that her legs were sore, she was weak, her teeth were shivering from the cold, and she called the lady: "Boil water quickly and let me take a bath." "Ah Mao jumped into the rice field early yesterday morning to avoid the bombs of the Japanese, and after a day and a night of running, his body was wet and dry, dry and wet, and he took a hot bath and fell asleep, and slept for three days and three nights. Thanks to the lady guarding the side, she held her big belly and asked him to ask for medicine and water to rub her belly, and it was not until the fourth day that she pulled out a belly of black charcoal-like filth that she escaped death and picked up her life. When I woke up on the fourth day, I felt that my body was warm, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that my body was covered with two quilts, and the lady stood at the head of the bed with a big belly, and Ah Mao choked with a throat: "Lady, you have joy in your stomach, I don't know." "My nose was sore, I couldn't speak, I wanted to struggle to get out of bed, but I just sat up, only to feel a flower in front of me, and my body fell down again.
Zhao Da led the volunteers into Dachang Baohua Temple, and it was the "Yellow Tiger" brigade that received the volunteers. After a short training of the "Yellow Tiger" on the volunteers, he and another broadsword team were combined into a supernumerary combat group and set off for the Guangfu Cross Bridge, still led by Zhao Da. Zhao Da was ordered to dig trenches on the position, digging many criss-crossing trenches, and erecting all the household goods that could play a supporting role, such as tables, chairs, door panels, furniture, and even coffin boards, that the residents rushed to send, and covered them with mud as bunkers, so that it would be difficult for the Japanese planes to find out. The Japanese army suffered defeat during the day, changed to a sneak attack at night, under the heavy artillery bombardment, the national army lost the cross bridge, had to retreat into Taicang, launched a counteroffensive the next day, and recaptured the cross bridge. Zhao Da rushed to build fortifications, saw that the Japanese soldiers were wearing big scalp boots, and both ends of the cross bridge were smooth and smooth asphalt roads, thinking of the scene of stealing the landlord's soybeans when he was a child, he had a plan, and when the "yellow tiger" came to the line of fire to inspect, he stepped forward and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, if the enemy army is still sneaking up on us at night, I have a method of earth warfare, which can take advantage of the dark night and no light, so that the devil will not return." "Yellow Tiger" asked: "What kind of soil warfare method is so powerful?" Zhao Da whispered to the "Yellow Tiger" like this, and the "Yellow Tiger" laughed and said, "Maybe it really works!" But where do you get so many soybeans? Zhao Da said: "I have it at home." "Yellow Tiger" asked: "Your home is in Guangfu?" ”
"Yes, my home is in Houde Mansion in the east of the bridge, three miles in front."
"Great! Now that the devil has withdrawn five miles away, you lead the two of you to go back as soon as it gets dark. They will come back before midnight, and after midnight, the devils may attack again. ”
Zhao Da led the order to return to the trenches, selected two good friends and factory comrades, and one pulled a rickshaw to run to the abandoned dock of Boss Shen's house. The "Yellow Tiger" was not at ease, so he stood in the trench at the head of the bridge and took a telescope to observe, but it was pitch black in the telescope and he could not see anything. There is a dirt road connecting the abandoned dock of Boss Shen's house to Houde Mansion, and Zhao Da and his comrades took this dirt road to avoid the searchlights of the devils and successfully came to the camphor tree outside the courtyard. I saw the huge mansion, dark and silent. The three of them parked the rickshaw in the dark under the tree, and Zhao Da was familiar with the way, leading the two to climb over the wall into the courtyard, quietly came to the lower room, and knocked on the window.
"Who?" After a while, I heard Wu's mother asking in the house. Zhao Da lowered his voice and said, "I, Big Tooth." ”
"Ah, it's me?" Wu's mother heard her nephew's voice and hurriedly opened the door. Zhao Da flashed into the house, and the other two followed, startling Wu's mother: "This, who are these two?" ”
"My comrade-in-arms."
"Comrade-in-arms? How can you have comrades-in-arms? As he spoke, he was about to light the lamp, but was stopped by Zhao Da.
"I'm already a volunteer. Without further ado, do I have a winter's worth of soybeans in my cellar? Take it out. Wu's mother asked, "It's a war, what do you want soybeans for?" Is it for the warriors? The next year, the old beans were almost bad, and I picked the new beans of the year. Zhao Da said: "Whether it's old or new, it's all wanted!" ”
"No, Chen Dou wants to eat bad stomachs, not even pigs."
"It's okay, it's for the devil!"
"Ah, I see!" Wu's mother thought that she was really giving the devil a bean, and said: "I put it in the cellar after it was built last year, and after the old man passed away, you were not at home, and Mrs. couldn't take care of these things, and it was estimated that it was almost rotten if it didn't fall out of mold." ”
Zhao Da led the workers to follow Wu's mother into the cellar, Wu's mother lit a candle, pointed to the soybean sacks piled up like a hill, and said, "You go and move it yourself, I don't have the strength to help you." ”
"Go, don't alarm Madame, and don't let anyone else know, but do quietly."
Wu's mother nodded and left. Zhao Da and the three of them made a bag for each person, going back and forth more than a dozen times, and carrying all tens of thousands of catties of soybeans onto the rickshaw. Seeing that it was not early, Zhao Da opened the backyard door and instructed Wu's mother: "Auntie, the Japanese are here, you have to be careful, don't go out, the shells don't have long eyes." After that, he picked up the rickshaw and left.
On the position of the national army here, the volunteers have built a fortress on the bridge, and the "yellow tiger" is anxiously looking at the dark place in front of the fortress, when three rickshaws appear on the bridge and run towards the bridge quickly, the "yellow tiger" scolded, "Damn, this Zhao Dadao is too big, and he dares to cross the bridge." While shouting: "All of them, pay attention to cover!" In the blink of an eye, the rickshaw full of soybeans has arrived on the bridge. The devil was stationed five miles away, and he didn't find out about the situation on the side of the national army at all. Zhao Da and the three of them ran all the way and scattered the beans on the ground, and they actually sprinkled them for two miles, and then Zhao Da led the big knife team to ambush in the houses on both sides of the street, waiting for them. At midnight, the devil really launched an attack, and the "Yellow Tiger" immediately ordered the small detachment with the task of luring the enemy to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. The detachment fought and retreated, walking at a rapid pace, while the Japanese soldiers wearing big scalp boots entered the asphalt road sprinkled with soybeans, stepped on the soybeans, and immediately staggered and slipped one after another, not understanding where so many steel shots came from, and thinking that it was a new weapon. At this time, the broadsword team ambushed in the private house suddenly fought bravely, the cold light flashed in the moonlight, the killing sound shook the sky, accompanied by a burst of ghosts crying wolf howls, the broadsword team and the Japanese army fought together, the murderous Japanese army learned the divine power of the broadsword team, and a large number of people were killed. By the time the devils brought in the ironclad car, it was already dawn, the horn of the national army's attack sounded, and the mountain artillery roared to launch a counterattack. Seeing that the situation was not good, the devil left hundreds of corpses behind and retreated to the position in embarrassment.
The battle was in a stalemate, and the battle lasted until the beginning of March, when the Japanese army transferred reinforcements from the mainland, and the Japanese ships were full of Japanese soldiers and fired artillery at the mouth of the Yangtze River to Baoshan City, and Baoshan City was suddenly filled with gunsmoke. The strength of the Japanese army increased to more than 100,000, and the defenders of Baoshan were insufficient, and the Japanese army finally landed on the Yangtze River tidal flat at Wusongkou. The national army suffered from the enemy on its back and was forced to abandon the first-line positions such as Miaohang and Cross Bridge, and retreated to Jiading and Huangdu.
When the news came, the citizens were overwhelmed with grief and could not sleep all night. On this night, the Tianchan stage was played by Master Mei, who performed the new play "Anti-Jin Soldiers" he created overnight. Citizens flocked to the Tianchan stage, and the theater never closed its doors when performing in history, so that audiences who did not have tickets could stand outside the door to listen to the play. This play tells the story of Han Shizhong, a general of the Song army, and his wife Liang Hongyu joining forces to resist Jin and winning a complete victory, which means that it directly refers to the current aggression of the Japanese invaders and the determination of the Chinese people to resist foreign aggression, like a "spiritual YZ bomb", which stimulates the enthusiasm of the citizens to resist the war to the extreme. The performance lasted until midnight, and none of the audience left early, waiting for the highlight after the performance - the national fundraiser.
