Raining in the central Hebei area is a very common thing, but for the guerrillas in Xuzhuang, it made them a little more anxious after the rain. Niujia Village was raided by the Japanese army, and all the people in a village of more than 300 were killed by the Japanese army.
After the brutal killing, the village chief of Gaojiazhuang returned from Niujia Village and informed them of the incident. The guerrillas from Xuzhuang led more than 50 militiamen and about 70 people set out 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. The later it is, the more difficult it will be to dispose of the body."
Captain Xu of the guerrilla team wiped the sweat from his face and said, "We need to speed up a bit."
Director Xu of the Xujia Village Women’s Rescue Society sighed and said, “Niujia Village used to have contacts with our village, but I didn’t expect how long it has just been.”
Village Chief Xu said: "The scope of the Japanese raids is very large. Niujia Village is near the Japanese highway, and there are also guerrillas in Niujia Village. It is like a needle pricking the Japanese. They will definitely take advantage of it."
This sweep is an opportunity to pull out the thorn in Niujia Village."
Captain Xu nodded: "As far as I know, many villages that pose a threat to the Japanese army were basically wiped out in this sweep."
Director Xu from the Women's Rescue Society thought for a while, "Hey, Old Xu, Gaojiazhuang is located very close to the Black Wind Pass. After the Japanese raids are over, do you think they will take action against Gaojiazhuang?"
Village Chief Xu thought for a while, "It may not be impossible, but you don't need to worry too much. Gaojiazhuang is very good at dealing with the Japanese. Tunnel warfare is the battle plan launched by Gaojiazhuang to deal with the Japanese. I guess they have someone watching.
The gun towers at Heifengkou are so that if the Japanese make any moves, they will notify them in advance and the people will have time to get into the tunnels."
Captain Xu said: "Village chief, I think it's better to send a letter to Gaojiazhuang. Gaojiazhuang is the front line against the Japanese army. And this time they sent some guns to the district, and they will be divided into two for our Xujia Village. In the future
It will be more powerful to deal with the Japanese devils!"
He added: "And we are on the same front. Since we have thought of it, we should remind you."
Village Chief Xu nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's the reason. Gaojiazhuang is so close to Heifengkou, and the Japanese often visit Gaojiacun. Under such circumstances, the villagers of Gaojiacun can only try every means to deal with the Japanese raids.
It's true, that's how I came up with it, I had to come out, that little comrade in Gaojia Village is really brave and resourceful."
He continued: "I live in an enemy-occupied area, but I still don't forget to take out the captured weapons and hand them over to the area."
Village Chief Xu admires Gaojia Village. Xujia Village is far away from the Japanese artillery towers. It is rare that they are raided by the Japanese. Gaojia Village and several nearby villages are not so lucky. The largest Japanese artillery building is at the Black Wind Gate.
The Japanese had accumulated a very large number of troops at their stronghold in Black Wind Town, and they carried out raids on several nearby villages for a long time.
However, these villages persisted tenaciously during the Japanese raids, and even developed various plans to deal with the Japanese.
This makes the people of Xujiacun have to admire the wisdom of the working people, which is indeed endless.
In the distance, a figure ran over. It was the sent out reconnaissance militia. The militiamen looked a little flustered, with sweat on their foreheads. They ran and shouted: "Japanese, devils, devils have launched an attack on Niujia Village."
, there are suspected guerrillas in Niujia Village!"
Everyone was shocked. Village Chief Xu said: "What happened!?"
There were four militiamen in charge of the investigation, and they investigated in the southeast, northwest, and only the investigation militia in the west brought back the news, and the west was also the direction of Niujia Village.
The militiaman in charge of the investigation took a breath and said: "When I was approaching Niujia Village, I saw a Japanese team from a distance. There was about a squadron. Some of the Japanese had already entered Niujia Village, and gunfire rang out in the village.
, I don’t know if it’s our people, but the Japanese set up mortars.”
Captain Xu quickly ordered the team to stop advancing, with a solemn look: "The Japanese have launched an attack on Niujia Village. Niujia Village is not our people. Could it be that they are the Japanese's own people? They are probably blocked in the village by the Japanese."
Director Xu of the Women's Rescue Association said: "Earlier, Village Chief Gao came out of Niujia Village alone and left five guns for us. But when he went to the district meeting, the party secretary said that Village Chief Gao also brought two young men with him.
Soldier, will you..."
Village Chief Xu immediately understood what Director Xu meant and said, "Mr. Gao asked the two young soldiers to stay in Niujia Village. He returned to Gaojia Village with the information, but he never thought that the Japanese were coming."
Director Xu nodded: "That's right."
"How come there are so many Japanese soldiers in one squadron!" Captain Xu frowned: "I'm sure I read that correctly."
The militiaman replied: "You read that right, the number of Japanese soldiers outside is about seventy, and there are also Japanese soldiers in the village."
Captain Xu asked again: "Where are the Japs?"
The militiaman said: "It's about four hundred meters east of Niujia Village."
When Captain Xu frowned, the village chief said: "We can just reach the position behind the Japanese."
"The Japs are about 400 meters east of Niujia Village. There are about 70 people in number. The gunshots coming from the village again. According to the previous pattern of Japanese attacks, there is a high probability that a squadron will be divided into two.
The echelons attacked alternately. It is estimated that the Japanese did not expect that there were only two people in the village. The Japanese army of a squadron attacked Niujia Village, which was defended by only two people. They would not be able to hold on for long."
Captain Xu raised his head and looked at everyone.
Someone said curiously: "Why didn't they retreat when they knew they were facing a squadron of Japanese attacks?"
Everyone frowned, yes, since they were facing a Japanese attack by a squadron, why couldn't they retreat before the Japanese arrived in the village.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You must know that staying in the village is a dead end.
Some people couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be because of the remains of the villagers in the village!?"
Village Chief Xu said: "Japanese devils who are so heartless can do anything, and it is not impossible to do something on the body."
He added: "Now that we already know, the most important thing right now is to rescue them. Facing a squadron of Japanese attacks, they won't be able to hold on for long. We don't need to do anything else, we just need to reduce the pressure on them."
.”
Captain Xu thought deeply: "Then make a plan to lure the enemy! In addition, I will lead the guerrillas into the village to support the two of them and strive to rescue them in the shortest time."
Director Xu couldn't help but said: "The risk of doing this is very high."
Captain Xu said: "The risk is high, we have to do it, and if we have risks, then the Japanese devils have no risk? While we bear the risks, the Japanese devils also bear huge risks, and this kind of thing always has to be done."
Someone does it, Village Chief Gao found us, and we met again, so we can't just sit back and watch, those are our comrades!"
Village Chief Xu said: "The captain is right. Now that we have encountered them, we can't just sit back and watch. We just need to shoot behind the devils to attract their attention."
Seeing this, Director Xu stopped saying anything and decided to listen to the two people's opinions.
After investigation by the scouts, it was found that the number of Japanese troops east of Niujia Village was about sixty, and bursts of gunfire continued to be heard from the village. From this, it can be inferred that fierce fighting is still going on in the village.
It is unclear why the Japanese army did not enter Niujia Village in one fell swoop and surrounded and annihilated the two people who resisted.
What they didn't know was that the Japanese army had previously sent a reconnaissance team into Niujia Village for investigation. However, in less than twenty minutes, there was no movement. The Japanese army concluded that the number of guerrillas in the village was definitely not small.
The attack was divided into two echelons. The first echelon was used to consume the enemy's strength, while the second echelon was used as the main force to capture Niujiacun in one fell swoop.
However, Village Chief Xu and Captain Xu did not understand the intentions of the Japanese army. When they took action, they were still thinking about why the Japanese army did not capture them directly.
When they arrived behind the Japanese army, they saw the Japanese devils shaking like ants from a distance, while they hid behind the Japanese army and stared at them from a distance.
Village Chief Xu squinted his eyes and observed, then turned to Captain Xu and said, "Old Xu, do you think the Japanese want to surround the area and call for reinforcements?"
Captain Xu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at him, "Surrounding the point for reinforcements? Isn't this a tactic used by our army?"
Village Chief Xu said: "Now that the Japs are using us, maybe the reason why the Japs don't attack is because they want to use the two of them to attract more guerrillas to enter Niujia Village, and then surround Niujia Village, or maybe they wait until we get close to Niujia Village
When the time comes, the Japanese in Niujia Village will give up their attack on the two of them and turn Niujia Village into a defensive position to stop us."
What the village chief said was not entirely unreasonable, but what was very strange was that the Japanese still had a team outside Niujia Village. It didn't feel like they were encircling the area for reinforcements at all.
Captain Xu pondered and said: "This is not how we encircle a point for reinforcements. If they were really Japanese, they would not have left such a team on the outside. Hasn't this already exposed them?"
The village chief said: "So, this is also strange. What exactly is the intention of the Japanese devils?"
Captain Xu stuffed two box cannons made in the border area with black powder, closed the magazines, put them into the belt around his waist, and said: "No matter what the devil's intentions are, now is not the time to think about such things. I will lead ten
"Two team members will enter the village first. You stay outside the village, and we will cooperate inside and outside to beat up these little devils."
Village Chief Xu pulled him and said, "You must be more cautious. When fighting in an environment like Niujia Village, you will face the risk of sacrifice at any time."
Captain Xu’s eyes were firm: “Even if you sacrifice yourself, you can’t let the Japanese invaders touch the remains of the villagers!”
Village Chief Xu no longer 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 Xujiacun to bypass the Japs on the east side and approach Niu from the west.
village, while Chief Xu led the remaining people to stay behind the Japanese army.
Village Chief Xu led the militiamen and laid landmines near them. The central Hebei area was mostly plains, and the Japanese cars were unscrupulous. Therefore, the militiamen and guerrillas in the central Hebei area spent all their daily efforts.
When it comes to researching landmines, all kinds of homemade landmines can be made anytime, anywhere, by children or women, as long as they have the materials.
The environment is compelling. Faced with the rampant Japanese devils, almost all the people living in 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 militiamen fight the Japanese devils. Everyone is in every situation.
Each position plays a different role.
In Niujia Village at this time, after Xia Yuan blocked the frontal Japanese attack, only a few Japanese soldiers entered the village from the north of the village, and in addition there were more than 30 Japanese soldiers who entered the village through the west side of the village. The entry process was very complicated.
The village went smoothly and encountered no resistance. However, the Japanese soldiers who entered the village did not march straight in.
They found a large number of neatly arranged remains of Niujia Village villagers in the west of the village. This shows that there are indeed guerrillas in Niujia Village, but the number is still unknown.
The Japanese army that attacked frontally encountered an attack by the Niujia Village guerrillas, and suffered heavy casualties. The huge casualties and the mortar bombing caused the gunfire in the village to be covered by the sound of artillery, so that they were unable to make a correct judgment.
, leading them to believe that the number of guerrillas in Niujia Village was at least one platoon.
The attacking Japanese were very confused, and the Japanese squadron leader four hundred meters away was even more confused. He used a telescope to observe the village from a distance. The strange thing was that he could only see the fallen figure of the Japanese, but not the fallen figure.
See the flames from the muzzle of the Chinese people's guns when they fired, and the shadows of the Chinese people.
This made him feel very strange and confused.
With the help of anti-inflammation and silencer, it was almost difficult to detect Xia Yuan who was hiding in the corner and shooting. He also used the Japanese gunfire as a cover. Every time a shell fell, he would pull the trigger at the explosion point of the shell.
, the sound of artillery accompanied the sound of gunfire, reaching the level of perfect silence.
The flame at the muzzle was the result of his careful actions. He emptied the five bullets in the magazine as quickly as possible, and then quickly changed the fighting position. However, it was difficult for the Japanese soldiers observing from a distance to spot him. Moreover, he chose
The locations are all very hidden, and it would be really difficult for the Japanese to find him.
Now that Xia Yuan has found Sanbao, the two cooperated with each other to resist the Japanese troops who entered the village. After Xia Yuan first eliminated the remnants of the Japanese troops who attacked from the front, he then began to deal with the Japanese who entered Niujia Village from the side and rear, lacking an understanding of the terrain of Niujia Village.
, Xia Yuan kept walking between the villages, while Sanbao followed Xia Yuan from a distance.
Before passing an intersection, Xia Yuan pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger. Sambo behind him saw a Japanese soldier popping up in the distance and fell to the ground. The fall of a Japanese soldier caused a chain reaction, and the Japanese army behind him exploded.
Shooting randomly.
But Xia Yuan did not get involved with them. After shooting a Japanese soldier, he threw an air-burst bomb, which made the Japanese scream. He took Sanbao away without looking back. The Japanese soldiers who followed the gunfire pounced on him.
