Straight to the point. In the winter of 1938, the Japanese invaders attacked Dahongshan again in multiple ways. All the way along the Soodang Highway through the Sunjia Bridge of Jingshan, the East Bridge of Zhongxiang and the inn directly into the southern foot of Dahong Mountain; The other road leads to the northern foot of Dahong Mountain along the Sisha Highway through Shayang, Jiukou, Zhongxiang County and Zhangjiaji.

Jiukou Town is located 30 kilometers south of Zhongxiang County, with a special geographical location and is the intersection of four counties. It is connected with Jingshan Mountain in the east, borders Tianmen in the south, faces Shayang across the river in the west, and is close to the Hanjiang River wharf, the traffic is very convenient, and it is a place where businessmen gather and soldiers must fight for since ancient times.

In the first month of 1939, a mechanized brigade of the Japanese army first captured the strategic Jiukou Town along the Sisha Line, established the puppet government of Zhongxiang County here, built a strategic material transit warehouse, and left a squadron to garrison it, and then led its troops north.

The squadron leader who stayed in Jiukou Town was named Tanigawa, a young man, he was short and thick-legged, with a strong body, a square face, a high nose, a mouth full of yellow teeth, a danren beard, and always spoke with a smile, but he was insidious and vicious. In order to ensure the security of this strategic place and provide sufficient ammunition and material support for the front-line troops, he implemented the policy of "governing China with China" in the garrison, set up a public order maintenance committee, set up a police station and a security regiment, and also used some family members of traitors and secret prostitutes to form a "women's association" to specialize in "pro-Japanese, stalking, and informing" activities.

After the establishment of the puppet regime of the old mouth, the traitors assisted the devils to arrest their husbands everywhere and steal food, burn and kill adultery, and do all kinds of evil. Anyone who captures anti-Japanese personnel and soldiers will be killed immediately as long as they do not want to be traitors, causing trouble for the people in Jiukou Town and the surrounding areas to make a living and miserable. The main traffic arteries have become "ghost gates" controlled by the Japanese puppets, which seriously threatens the anti-Japanese activities in the Jingzhong area and even in the Dahongshan area.

In June of that year, the 161st Division of the Sichuan Army Headquarters of the Fifth Theater of River Defense was garrisoned on the west bank of the Xianghe River, and the 484th Division was garrisoned

He Shuheng, the head of the regiment, received a secret letter from the Henan-Hubei Independent Guerrilla Detachment of the New Fourth Army: "The old stronghold is a huge harm, and the two departments will join forces, and the next step will be as fast as possible!" ”

Colonel He Shuheng graduated from the fifth phase of Whampoa, a standard soldier, with a flexible mind, calm and elegant, and a bookish atmosphere. He went out of Sichuan to resist Japan, and because he had the same political views as the person in charge of the Henan-Hubei Independent Guerrilla Detachment of the New Fourth Army, he had a very good personal relationship. The guerrillas of the New Fourth Army often provided important military information to the He Shuheng Division, and the He Division also often donated guns, ammunition, medicines, and other scarce materials.

After He Shuheng received the confidential letter, he immediately asked for instructions from Shangfeng and obtained approval. He said to the liaison of the New Fourth Army: "Without further ado, the soldiers are fast!" You go back and tell your commander that you will act on time at eight o'clock tomorrow night, and you and I will fight between the two things, and strive to destroy the stronghold of Jiukou. ”

He Shuheng handed over the task of attacking the old stronghold at night to the 1st Battalion of Xiao Dejun, who was also from the Whampoa department.

In the evening of the next day, Xiao Dejun led the 1st Battalion and the Nanshan Guerrilla Squadron of the New Fourth Army at the same time

Appearing in the woods on the outskirts of the old stronghold, a storm is coming.

At this time, Tanigawa Shaosa, the squadron leader of the old mouth stronghold, was still looking for joy in the gentle township. During this period of time, he was quite conceited and complacent about his implementation of the policy of "governing China with China" in Jiukou, allowing the maintenance association and the security group to make Jiukou Town a miasma, and he was idle, looking for flowers and willows all day long, and occupied some prostitutes on Jiukou Street, even the family members of some maintenance association and security group personnel. was so frightened that the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the old mouth and the surrounding areas had black faces, pretended to be stupid, and didn't dare to go out.

That night, Tanigawa got drunk again at the drunken fairy tavern in the town, and forcibly broke into the room of the hotel owner's little wife, Cuihua. Cuihua, who was born in fireworks, was half-pushed and half-pushed because of fear, which made him happy.

Cuihua's good friend Wang Sanxi is an authentic old mouthman, tall, with a white face, and a pair of big eyes that make people full of cleverness. His parents died early, and since he was a child, he followed his third uncle to play tricks outside, and practiced kung fu, especially the knife skills. A few years ago, in order to seek justice for the bullied Cuihua, a bully was seriously injured, so he left his hometown and joined the New Fourth Army guerrillas.

In recent years, Wang Sanxi has relied on his wit, flexibility, excellent skills, and repeated military exploits, and now he has become the leader of the guerrilla team.

This time to attack Jiukou Town, considering that Wang Sanxi was a local, the guerrillas sent him to lead the team back to take the lead, understand the situation, reconnoiter the terrain, enter first, and when the peripheral troops launched an attack, they would come to meet with the outside.

Wang Sanxi, who has been playing tricks on Jiukou Street since he was a child, is naturally very familiar with the environment of the Jiukou stronghold, and led the team into the town as soon as it was dark. Through the inside line, he learned that the defender Shao Satani Chuan was in the Drunken Immortal Building tonight, and he was overjoyed in his heart, thinking: "Luck is coming, and the door panel can't be blocked if you want to, and the opportunity for Lao Tzu to make meritorious service is here again." Then he led the team directly into the Drunken Immortal Building.

Tanigawa, who was still tossing green flowers in the room, was very alert, and when he heard the noise outside, he was so frightened that he didn't want to drink at all. He didn't bother to put on his clothes and pants to get his saber and Wang Ba's box, at this time Wang Sanxi had already kicked open the door and came to him, and before Tanigawa could pull out his pistol, he had already stabbed him to death.

The emerald flowers wrapped in the quilt trembled with fright, frightened, and the flowers lost their color.

When Wang Sanxi saw that the woman on the bed was actually his good friend Zhang Cuihua, he was annoyed and angry, and he jumped like thunder, and stabbed Gu Chuan again, and then he turned his back to Cuihua and scolded: "Slut, don't hurry up and get dressed and run for your life, don't let Lao Tzu see you again!" ”

On the periphery, Xiao Dejun, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 484th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, had already led his troops to clean up the strongholds around Jiukou Town, and attacked the town with a single charge.

The police station and the security corps themselves were a rabble, and they quickly surrendered, and some temporarily surrendered to participate in the attack on the Japanese army.

The main stronghold of the devils was set up in a warehouse near the dock, and a gun tower was built. The Japanese troops who retreated to the pillboxes put up stubborn resistance, and the attacking troops were hampered by the lack of heavy weapons, and they were in a stalemate for a while.

At this time, the Henan-Hubei Independent Guerrilla Detachment of the New Fourth Army sent another urgent report: "More than 1,000 devils stationed in Zhongxiang County have come to reinforce them, and our unit is organizing personnel to harass along the way, please end the battle as soon as possible and evacuate quickly."

Wang Sanxi, who was holding back a bad breath, was willing to give up, he picked up a bundle of grenades and was about to attack again, but was stopped by Xiao Dejun: "The enemy's firepower is too fierce, you can only outwit, you can't attack, don't make senseless sacrifices." ”

Wang Sanxi was excited, and suddenly remembered that there was a sewer by the dock that could lead to the warehouse yard after twisting and turning, and when he was a child, in order to steal the bean cakes in the warehouse to eat, he and several friends discovered this secret. Then he said to his men, "Come with me." ”

When he came to the dock, Wang Sanxi found the sewer exit from memory, and led his subordinates to quickly get into it regardless of the stench, and in a blink of an eye, more than 30 guerrilla fighters all entered the Japanese stronghold.

Among these guerrilla fighters, there was a very important figure named Watanabe Ichiro, who was a fighter of the Anti-War League, and he knew that the resisting Japanese troops were all nested in the turret, and if they could not enter the turret, without heavy weapons, it would be difficult to destroy them even if they attacked the side of the pillbox. So he suggested to Wang Sanxi: "Captain! Why don't we open the Japanese warehouses first, change into their uniforms and equipment, and enter the turret in the honor of reinforcements to annihilate them! ”

When Wang Sanxi heard this, he felt that the proposal was very good, so he immediately led people to the devil's material warehouse. At this time, most of the devils guarding the warehouse went to the front yard turret, leaving only a small number of personnel to guard the warehouse gate. Wang Sanxi personally went out and led five soldiers with good swordsmanship to the front of the warehouse gate while it was dark, and sent the five devils to meet the king of Hades cleanly!

Open the Japanese warehouses and change into Japanese uniforms. Wang Sanxi arranged: "A squad leader, you lead more than ten people with grenades and bombs, and are responsible for blowing up the gate in the front yard and receiving the troops outside!" The second squad leader and the third squad leader each brought ten more people and a few machine guns, pressed the bullets to the full, followed Ichiro and I into the inside of the turret, each squad was responsible for one floor, and listened to my signal to kill the devil officers and machine gunners first, so as to buy time for the peripheral troops to attack! ”

After the action plan was arranged, Wang Sanxi led the troops to swagger to the back door of the turret, and Ichiro shouted in Japanese: "Reinforcements are coming, hurry up and open the door." ”

The Japanese soldiers in the turret looked out, and sure enough, it was their own people, so they were overjoyed: "Reinforcements have arrived, open the door quickly." ”

With the opening of the back door, Wang Sanxi and others poured in. The second squad leader led people to seize a good advantageous position, and the third squad leader led people to rush to the second floor!

"Shoot fast!" While giving the order, Wang Sanxi shot a soldier in front of him to death. The second squad leader and the third squad leader each led three machine gunners to shoot fiercely at the Japanese machine gunners and gunners in the turret!

The Japanese army reacted, and then resisted desperately, scuffling with Wang Sanxi and them.

At this time, a squad leader led people to pile bomb grenades together, and with a loud bang, the gate was also blown open.

Xiao Dejun saw that the heavy machine guns in the turret suddenly stopped, and the gate of the stronghold was blown open again, and knew that Wang Sanxi and their sneak attack was successful. He stood up abruptly and shouted, "Ge Lao Tzu Chong!" Then the troops rushed into the courtyard like a tidal wave.

At this moment, most of the guerrilla fighters who fought white-knuckle warfare with many devils had died, and Wang Sanxi was forced into a corner by the three devils and was in great danger.

"Horn Horn!" Seeing this, Xiao Dejun, who was the first to lead people into the turret, shot three shots in a row to kill the devils besieging Wang Sanxi, and then ordered the people around him: "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then blow up this ghost turret!" ”

Ten minutes later, the battle was over. In this battle, more than 150 Japanese soldiers were killed, and countless guns, ammunition and various materials were captured.

When distributing the captured booty, the battalion commander Xiao Dejun specially explained to his subordinates: "Guns, ammunition and medicines, try to satisfy the guerrillas, don't fight with them, they are not easy." ”

As soon as the morning dawned, the commander of the Koizumi Brigade, who had commanded the capture of Jiukou Town, led the artillery and cavalry to the Jiukou stronghold, and saw the blown up artillery tower, the burned warehouses and materials, the corpses of devils, and the naked corpse of Tanigawa. ”

At this time, the Xiao De military headquarters and the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army had already evacuated to the west of the Xianghe River and the Nanshan base area of Dahong Mountain with abundant booty, and returned to their respective establishments. The old stronghold known as "Ghost Gate Pass" was destroyed, and the surrounding people all applauded!
