Chapter 25: Xujiacun Guerrillas

It is a very common thing to rain in the central Hebei region, but for the guerrillas in Xuzhuang, after the rain made them a little more anxious, Niujia Village was swept by the Japanese army, and more than 300 people in a village were all brutally killed by the Japanese army, and the village chief of Gaojiazhuang came back from Niujia Village and informed them of this incident, and the guerrillas in Xuzhuang led more than 50 militiamen, about 70 people set off towards Niujia Village.

Village Chief Xu looked at the scorching sun and said, "In such weather, the body cannot be preserved for a long time, and the later the time, it is estimated that the body will be difficult to dispose of." ”

Captain Xu of the guerrilla team wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It's time to speed up." ”

Director Xu of the Xujia Village Women's Rescue Association sighed and said: "Niujia Village used to have dealings with our village, but I didn't expect how long it had been. ”

Village Chief Xu said: "The scope of the Japanese devil's sweep is very large, Niujia Village is near the Japanese devil's highway, and there are also guerrillas in Niujia Village, like a needle pierced the Japanese devil's body, they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of this sweep to pull out the thorn of Niujia Village." ”

Captain Xu nodded: "As far as I know, many villages that pose a threat to the Japanese army have basically been swept away in this sweep. ”

Director Xu of the Women's Rescue Association thought for a while, "Hey, Lao Xu, the location of Gaojiazhuang is also very close to Heifengkou, after the sweep of the Japanese devils is over, do you say that you will do anything to Gaojiazhuang?" ”

Village Chief Xu thought for a while, "It's not necessarily impossible, but you don't need to worry too much, Gaojiazhuang has a very good set of ways to deal with devils, and the tunnel war is the battle plan launched by Gaojiazhuang to deal with the Japanese devils, I estimate that some of them are staring at the turret of Heifengkou, so that once the Japanese devils make a move, they will notify them in advance, and the people will have time to drill into the tunnel." ”

Captain Xu said: "Village chief, I think it's better to send a letter to Gaojiazhuang, Gaojiazhuang is the front line of the resistance against the Japanese army, and this time they sent some guns to the district, and they will be divided into two in our Xujia Village, and it will be more powerful to deal with Japanese devils in the future!" ”

He added: "And we are on the same front, since we have thought of it, we should remind and remind." ”

Village Chief Xu nodded, and pondered: "That's the reason, Gaojiazhuang is so close to the Black Wind Mouth, and the Japanese devils often visit Gaojia Village, in this case, the villagers of Gaojia Village can only do everything they can to deal with the sweep of the Japanese devils. ”

He continued: "I live in enemy-occupied areas, and I don't forget to take out the captured weapons and hand them over to the district. ”

The village chief Xu admires Gaojia Village, their Xujia Village is far away from the devil's turret, and when it is rarely swept by the devils, Gaojia Village and several nearby villages are not so lucky, the largest turret of the Japanese devils is in the Black Wind Mouth, and the devils have a very large number of troops hoarded in the stronghold of Heifeng Town, and they have been sweeping several nearby villages for a long time.

But these villages stubbornly survived the sweep of the Japanese army, and even studied various plans to deal with the Japanese devils.

This makes the people of Xujia Village have to admire the wisdom of the working people, which is really endless.

In the distance, a figure ran over, it was the reconnaissance militia sent out, the militia looked a little flustered, with sweat on the forehead, looking a little flustered, while running, shouted: "Devil, devil, devil launched an attack on Niujia Village, there are suspected guerrillas in Niujia Village!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Village Chief Xu said, "What happened!?" ”

The militia in charge of reconnaissance totaled four people, and they reconnoitred to the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and only the reconnaissance militia in the west brought back news, and the west was also in the direction of Niujia Village.

The militia in charge of reconnaissance took a breath and said: "When I was close to Niujia Village, I saw a team of Japanese devils from a distance, there was about a squadron, and some of the Japanese devils had already entered Niujia Village, and gunshots rang out in the village, I don't know if it was our people, but the Japanese devils set up mortars." ”

Captain Xu quickly ordered the team to stop advancing, his eyes solemn: "The Japanese devils launched an attack on Niujia Village, Niujia Village is not our people, could it be the Japanese devils' own people, it is estimated that they are blocked in the village by the devils." ”

Director Xu of the Women's Rescue Association said: "Before, when Village Chief Gao came out of Niujia Village, he was the only one and left five guns for us, but when I went to the district for a meeting, didn't the branch secretary say that Village Chief Gao also brought two little soldiers, would it be ......?"

Village Chief Xu immediately understood what Director Xu meant, and said: "Village Chief Gao let the two little soldiers stay in Niujia Village, and he returned to Gaojia Village with information, but he never thought that the Japanese devils were coming. ”

Director Xu nodded: "That's right." ”

"How many Japanese devils in one squadron are there!" Captain Xu frowned: "I'm sure I'm not mistaken." ”

The militia replied: "That's right, the number of devils outside is about seventy, and there are also Japanese devils in the village." ”

Captain Xu asked again: "What about the location of the Japanese devils?" ”

The militia said: "East of Niujia Village, about 400 meters. ”

When Captain Xu frowned, the village chief said, "Our side is just able to reach the position behind the Japanese devil." ”

"The Japanese devils are about 400 meters east of Niujia Village, the number is about 70 people, and the gunshots from the village come again, according to the law of the previous little devil attack, there is a high probability that a squadron will be divided into two echelons to attack alternately, it is estimated that the Japanese devils did not expect that there were only two people in the village, and the Japanese army in one squadron attacked Niujia Village where only two people were defending, and they could not hold on for long."

Captain Xu raised his head and looked at everyone.

Someone said curiously: "Knowing that they are facing a squadron of Japanese devils attacking, why don't they retreat?" ”

Everyone frowned, yes, since they were facing a squadron of Japanese attack, why couldn't they retreat before the Japanese devils arrived in the village.

You must know that staying in the village is a dead end.

Some people can't help but speculate: "Could it be because of the remains of the villagers in the village!?" ”

Village Chief Xu said: "The Japanese devil who has lost his conscience can do anything, and it is not impossible to do it on the body. ”

He added: "Now that we already know, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue them, in the face of a squadron of Japanese attack, they can't hold out for long, we don't need to do anything else, just reduce the pressure on them." ”

Captain Xu pondered, "Then make a plan to lure the enemy!" In addition, I led the guerrillas into the village to support the two of them and try to free them in the shortest possible time. ”

Director Xu couldn't help but say, "It's very risky to do this. ”

Captain Xu said: "The risk is high, we have to do it, and we have the risk, so the Japanese devil is not at risk?" While we take risks, the Japanese devils also take huge risks, and this kind of thing, someone always has to do it, Gao Village Chief found us, we met again, we can't stand idly by, that's our comrades! ”

Village Chief Xu said: "The captain is right, since we have met, we can't stand idly by, we just need to put a gun behind the devil to attract the devil's attention." ”

Seeing this, Director Xu stopped talking and decided to listen to the opinions of the two.

After reconnaissance by scouts, the Japanese devils' strength east of Niujia Village was about 60 people, and bursts of gunfire were constantly heard from the village, so it can be inferred that there was still a fierce battle going on in the village, but it was not clear why the Japanese army did not enter Niujia Village in one fell swoop and encircled and annihilated the two people who resisted.

What they didn't know was that the Japanese army had sent a reconnaissance team into Niujia Village to investigate, but in less than 20 minutes, there was no movement, and the Japanese army deduced that the guerrillas in the village were definitely not a few, and divided into two echelons to attack, the first echelon was used to consume the enemy's strength, and the second echelon was used as the main force to take Niujia Village in one fell swoop.

It's just that Village Chief Xu and Captain Xu didn't have insight into the intentions of the Japanese army, and when they were acting, they were still thinking about why the Japanese army didn't take the two directly.

When they arrived behind the Japanese soldiers, they saw the Japanese devils swaying like ants from a distance, while they hid behind the Japanese soldiers, staring at them from afar.

Village Chief Xu squinted and observed, turned his head to Captain Xu and said, "Old Xu, do you say that the Japanese devils want to surround the point and send reinforcements?" ”

Captain Xu retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at him, "Surround the point to send reinforcements?" This is not a tactic used by our army? ”

Village Chief Xu said: "Now that the devils are used on us, maybe the reason why the devils don't attack is probably to attract more guerrillas into Niujia Village through the two of them, and then surround Niujia Village, or maybe when we get close to Niujia Village, the devils in Niujia Village will give up attacking the two of them and turn Niujia Village into a defensive position used to block us." ”

What the village chief said was not completely unreasonable, but what was very strange was that the Japanese devils still had a team on the outskirts of Niujia Village, which did not feel like a siege point to send reinforcements.

Captain Xu pondered and said: "This is not how to encircle and send reinforcements, if it is really a Japanese devil, they will not leave such a team on the outside, this is not that they have been exposed." ”

The village chief said: "So, this is also a strange point, what do you say are the intentions of the Japanese devils?" ”

Captain Xu stuffed the two box cannons made in the border area with black powder, closed the magazine, pinned it into the strap around his waist, and said: "No matter what the devil's intentions are, now is not the time to think about this, I will lead ten team members to enter the village first, you stay outside the village, let's work together inside and outside, and beat up this group of little devils." ”

Village Chief Xu pulled him and said, "You must be cautious, fighting in an environment like Niujia Village will face the risk of sacrifice at any time." ”

Captain Xu's eyes were firm: "Even if you sacrifice, you can't let the Japanese devils move the bodies of the villagers!" ”

Village Chief Xu stopped him and agreed to Captain Xu's plan, although the plan was risky, they had to do it, Captain Xu led ten guerrilla fighters from Xujia Village to bypass the devils on the east side and approach Niujia Village from the west side, while Village Chief Xu led the rest of the people to stay behind the Japanese army.

The village chief Xu led the militia to lay mines near them, and the central Hebei region is mostly plain, and the cars of the Japanese devils are unscrupulous, so the militia and guerrillas in the central Hebei region spend their daily efforts on researching mines, and all kinds of earthen mines can be made anytime and anywhere as long as there are materials, whether it is children or women.

The environment is pressing, and in the face of the rampant Japanese devils, almost all the people living in the enemy-occupied areas are soldiers, whether they are old people or children, as long as they have the ability, they can help the guerrillas and militia fight devils, and everyone plays a different role in each post.

At this time in Niujia Village, after Xia Yuan blocked the frontal Japanese attack, only a few Japanese devils entered the village from the north of the village, and in addition, there were more than 30 Japanese devils who entered the village through the west of the village.

They found a large number of neatly arranged bodies of Niujia villagers in the west of the village, which shows that there are really guerrillas in Niujia Village, but the number is still unknown.

The Japanese troops attacking frontally were attacked by the guerrillas in Niujia Village, and the casualties were mixed, and the huge casualties and mortar bombardment caused the gunfire in the village to be covered by the sound of artillery, so that they could not make a correct judgment, leading them to believe that the number of guerrillas in Niujia Village was at least one platoon or more.

The attacking devils were very confused, and the leader of the Japanese devil squadron four hundred meters away was even more confused, he used a telescope to observe the village from a distance, and the strange thing was that he could only see the figure of the Japanese devil falling, but he could not see the flame of the muzzle of the gun when the Chinese man fired, and the shadow of the Chinese person.

This made him feel very strange and confused.

With the blessing of anti-inflammatory and silencing, Xia Yuan, who was hiding in the corner and shooting, was almost difficult to find, and he used the cannon sound of the Japanese devil as a cover, every moment when the shell fell, he would pull the trigger at the explosion point of the shell, and the cannon sound was accompanied by the gunshot, reaching the level of perfect silence.

The flame of the muzzle was the result of his cautious actions, emptying the five bullets in the magazine as quickly as possible, and then quickly changing the combat position, but it was difficult for the Japanese soldiers observing from a distance to find his figure, and the positions he chose were very hidden, and it was really very difficult for the Japanese devils to find him.

And now Xia Yuan has found the three treasures, the two cooperate with each other to resist the Japanese army entering the village, Xia Yuan first eliminated the remnants of the Japanese army who attacked frontally, and then began to deal with the Japanese devils who entered Niujia Village from the side behind, lacking understanding of the terrain of Niujia Village, Xia Yuan constantly wandered between the villages, and the three treasures were far behind Xia Yuan.

Without passing through an intersection, Xia Yuan pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger, and Sanbao behind him saw the devil who appeared in the distance and fell to the ground with a thud, and a Japanese devil fell down causing a chain reaction, and the Japanese army behind him exploded the pot and shot indiscriminately.

And Xia Yuan did not entangle with them, after shooting a Japanese soldier, he threw an air explosive bomb, and the devil who blew it up screamed, and left with Sanbao without looking back, and the Japanese soldiers who followed the gunfire pounced.
