Xu Dalong slowed down his horse and ordered without looking back: "Sun Desheng, lead the first team of cavalry to go around from the left and cut off the retreat of these beasts.
Monk Wei, you lead the second squadron of the seventh cavalry squad to flank the attack from the right, and the rest follow me."
"yes."
Sun Desheng and Wei Monk roared and led the soldiers off the road and took a detour. Xu Dalong led the other guerrillas to follow slowly, waiting for Wei Monk and others to arrive at the designated location.
The terrain here is gentle. Soon after, the Japanese and puppet troops discovered the cavalry led by Wei Monk, and then discovered the cavalry led by Xu Dalong. They immediately panicked and ran forward desperately.
Xu Dalong shouted: "The artillery is ready."
Wang Chengzhu was already impatient with waiting. He immediately ordered the soldiers of the artillery team to dismount and set up mortars one after another on the ground.
Xu Dalong then shouted: "All machine gunners, come to the front."
What they lack most now is machine guns. Immediately, a dozen guerrillas stood in a row with Xu Dalong holding light machine guns.
Xu Dalong ordered: "Fire!"
Wang Chengzhu immediately commanded the artillery to fire fiercely at the Japanese and puppet troops.
Groups of artillery shells roared towards the enemy group, causing the Japanese and puppet soldiers to flip over.
Xu Dalong also held a machine gun in his hand and shouted: "Attack." He rushed forward first.
The soldiers followed closely and quickly caught up with the fleeing enemy troops.
"Da da da da da." Xu Dalong and the machine gunners of the guerrillas fired fiercely at the Japanese and puppet troops. The bullets rained down on the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops had nowhere to hide. They fled in a hurry and were killed one by one.
Knocked to the ground.
At the same time, Monk Wei also led the cavalry to launch an attack from the side. They also used machine guns to clear the way, and the Japanese and puppet troops had no power to fight back.
The Japanese and puppet troops who were lucky enough to be alive fled desperately, trying to organize a resistance in a cemetery in front. At this moment, Sun Desheng had already led the cavalry to rush forward and blocked the enemy's way.
The Japanese team leader also wanted to organize the Japanese and puppet troops to resist on the spot, but was knocked to the ground by flying mortar shells.
The Japanese and puppet troops completely lost control and were scurrying around like headless flies.
Sun Desheng didn't have a gun in his hand. He raised a sharp saber and rushed forward. He felt that only by killing those Japanese and puppet soldiers with his own hands could he eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Xu Dalong, Monk Wei and the guerrilla soldiers also put down their guns one after another, drew their sharp sabers, and charged forward with a roar.
Xu Dalong caught up with a Japanese soldier and struck him on the head with one knife. His strength was so great that he split his head in half.
Seeing this situation, a Japanese soldier nearby raised his gun in a panic and aimed at Xu Dalong to shoot.
At this moment, a gunshot was heard from behind Xu Dalong, and the Japanese soldier was shot in the heart and fell on his back.
Xu Dalong looked back and saw Lin Xueying holding a Browning pistol in her hand, with light white smoke coming out of the muzzle.
Xu Dalong said: "Thank you."
Lin Xueying smiled sweetly at him and winked playfully.
Xu Dalong waved his saber and rushed towards another puppet soldier.
The puppet soldier was already scared out of his wits. When he saw Xu Dalong rushing over, he knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, shouting: "Grandpa Eighth Route Army, spare your life!"
Xu Dalong hated these traitors who helped the tyranny and would never accept his surrender. He swung his saber fiercely and slashed the puppet soldier in the face.
The guerrillas, angered by the massacre at Dahuang Village, chased the Japanese and puppet soldiers with sharp sabers and cut them to the ground mercilessly.
The battle ended soon, but the guerrillas still felt angry. They jumped off their horses, took their sabers, and stabbed the Japanese and puppet soldiers who fell on the ground a few more times, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.
Sun Desheng knew that the culprit of the Dahuang Village tragedy was the Japanese squad leader. When he saw him lying on the ground, Sun Desheng jumped off his horse and wanted to cut off his head and take it to Dahuang Village to pay homage to the fellow villagers who died tragically.
He raised his saber and was about to chop the Japanese squad leader's neck, but found that he was still breathing.
Sun Desheng immediately became excited. He stepped forward and hooked the body of the Japanese team leader with his feet, and turned him over with a strong force.
The Japanese squad leader was indeed still alive. One of his arms was blown off and there were several injuries on his body, but he seemed to be still conscious.
The Japanese team leader saw Sun Desheng holding a saber, and then looked at the guerrillas coming up all around. He knew that his team had been wiped out, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Sun Desheng said angrily: "You beast! If you want to die like this, isn't it too easy for you? Come here! Take him to Dahuang Village. I will chop him alive to pay homage to the fellow villagers who died."
.”
Xu Dalong left some guerrillas to clean the battlefield, led the team, and escorted the Japanese squad leader back to Dahuang Village.
There were too many corpses of the villagers and it was impossible to bury them one by one. Xu Dalong and others had no choice but to dig a big pit and prepare to bury them collectively.
Before they were buried, the bodies of the villagers had been neatly placed aside.
Xu Dalong took out the camera from his backpack. He bought it in Taiyuan City and it came in handy at this moment.
He took photos of the dead villagers and took some individual photos of the women and children who died tragically.
With tears in their eyes, the guerrillas carried the bodies of the villagers and buried them.
Conditions were limited, and there was no way to find a tombstone for a while. Wang Jinke found pen and ink from the village, wrote "Grave of the Victims of Dahuang Village" on a wooden board, and placed it on the grave. The guerrillas were ready to wait until they returned.
Qiligou Village built a stone tablet to replace this temporary tombstone.
After completing these tasks, the guerrillas lined up in front of the tombstones and held a ceremony to honor the deceased.
Sun Desheng led two soldiers and dragged the Japanese squad leader over like a dead dog.
Sun Desheng picked up his saber and said, "Brothers, it was this beast that killed the innocent people of Dahuang Village. Let's kill him and avenge the villagers. However, don't be too easy on this beast." As he said that, he raised his saber.
A knife stabbed the Japanese squad leader in the shoulder.
The guerrillas also imitated Sun Desheng's example, taking turns coming over and slashing at the Japanese squad leader.
By the time the guerrillas all let out a breath of bad breath, the Japanese team leader was already dying.
Xu Dalong handed his saber to the only survivor of Dahuang Village and said: "Kill this beast and avenge your relatives and fellow villagers!"
Wang Shuigen had been waiting for this moment for a long time. With the support of two soldiers, he came to the Japs squad leader.
When he saw the ugly face of the Japanese captain, his whole body was filled with anger.
He suddenly pushed away the two soldiers who were supporting him, held the saber in both hands and stabbed the Japanese squad leader hard into the heart.
Wang Shuigen knelt in front of the tombstone and shouted loudly: "Father, mother, little sister, fellow villagers, I have avenged you."
After kowtowing several times in succession, he stood up with the support of the guerrillas and said to Xu Dalong: "Captain, I want to join the Eighth Route Army, please accept me."
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "I'll take you in. Take good care of your injuries. After you heal your injuries, let's go fight the Japanese together."
Xu Dalong used his camera to take pictures of the tombs and tombstones where the villagers were buried, as well as the mutilated corpse of the Japanese squad leader.
Xu Dalong was very thoughtful and even took a photo of the Japanese squad leader's military ID.
He said to Wang Jinke: "You can take pictures, right? Take pictures of the bodies of the Japanese we killed and the nameplates on them."
After Wang Jinke came back, Xu Dalong took out the film from the camera, called Wang Shun, and said to him: "This film is very important. You take two soldiers and send it to the World War II District Chief's Department and give it to Representative Wang of the Eighth Route Army."
Wang Shun took the film, put it into his underwear pocket, saluted Xu Dalong, got on his horse, and left with the two soldiers.
Xu Dalong said to Lin Xueying: "Miss Lin, please help me send a clear telegram."
The guerrillas moved ammunition boxes from the carriage and set up a temporary radio table.
Lin Xueying skillfully set up the radio station and sent out a telegram dictated by Xu Dalong.
The clear code telegram uses the internationally accepted decoding code, which can be received and translated by all radio stations.
Xu Dalong's telegram immediately aroused a huge response.
