Gushi County is located at the foot of Xifeng Mountain. The county is not very big, with a population of only tens of thousands so far, but it does have a long history. During the Cao Wei Dynasty, a county was established here and a city wall was built.
Due to the complex terrain in this area, constant wars, and the connection between soldiers and bandits, in order to protect themselves, the governments of the past dynasties have been constantly reinforcing the city wall. Now, the wall of a small county town is nearly 13 meters high, with a thickness of 14 meters at the base and a width at the top.
If it exceeds 8 meters, two large vehicles can run parallel to each other.
The inside of the city wall is made of rammed earth mixed with glutinous rice water, and the outside is reinforced with one-foot-thick blue bricks. It can be said to be very strong and can withstand ordinary artillery attacks.
The county seat has only two city gates in the north and south, and there are watchtowers on the gates. One section of the city wall on the east and west sides has increased in thickness, and a watchtower has been built on it. There is also a two-foot-wide moat under the city wall, which can definitely be called a city wall.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This county has been attacked countless times in history. The attacking party basically suffered heavy casualties and was forced to give up.
It is a pity that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Guo army defenders were very frightened. Before the Japanese army arrived, they had already abandoned the county seat and fled. The Japanese army occupied the county seat without a fight.
Now it is the turn of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces to attack, and the task before Wei Dayong and others is very arduous.
Xu Dalong, Kong Jie and others led a mighty army to the Gushi area. The Japanese and puppet troops were very frightened. A large number of landlords, wealthy people, Japanese and puppet Han people and local armed forces hid in Gushi County, adding more troops to the county defense force.
800 less troops.
Originally, there was only one Japanese infantry squadron, one gendarmerie, one battalion of Huang Xiejun, and one pseudo-police squad outside the county town. Now the garrison strength exceeds 1,700 people. With the strong city defense, it can be said that it is impregnable.
The Japanese and puppet troops and the Han landlords who were hiding outside the county felt very relieved. We even came out to welcome the Tusi Route Army to attack the city later. As soon as we came, they would kill us and leave us alone.
According to the prior understanding of the enemy's situation, among the eight counties that Wei Dayong and others wanted to attack, Gushi County was the most difficult to attack. Li Dashan had not been vague about this for a long time. However, I deliberately wanted to pick that hard nut to gnaw on.
Even though I only have eight special operations squadrons on hand, I am full of confidence in conquering the county seat.
Sun Feng first led the special forces members to control the two people outside his room, and then led the special forces members to two other occupied rooms.
I once went up there secretly. The secret passage was very badly built. The walls and roof were covered with blue bricks. I don’t know when it was built. The secret passage is very long and leads all the way to the city, just outside the cemetery at the back. You
I picked that up outside."
Outside a house at the east end of the village, Li Dashan was talking to two women wearing white headscarves. The two women were an uncle and nephew. The elder's name was Sun Naiqing, and my nephew's name was Sun Feng.
People outside were woken up by the knocking on the door, and they all said, "Who is it? It's midnight, what are you knocking on?"
Because the tunnel was too large, the special operations team members moved very quickly. It took a long time before all the 600 special operations team members retreated outside the courtyard.
Sun Feng was very unhappy before hearing this. He patted his chest and promised that any flaws would be exposed tomorrow and he would get Zhong Weizhi and others to withdraw from the city on time.
Li Dashan said: "That is a bad thing. He will keep it first. After the battle is over, let Mr. Long show it to him. I will definitely recognize it."
Sun Feng said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I am Sun Feng. Xu Dalong asked me to call them two. He said that there is always no movement outside the little eldest sister's room. There may be no mice, which is strange. Xu Dalong asked me to call them.
Let's go and move the bed away together to see what's going on up there?"
Although the number of enemy troops outside the county is small, their combat effectiveness is the weakest. The one that can play the main role is not an infantry squadron of the Japanese army. It is the Japanese gendarmerie and a battalion of puppet troops. As for these landlords’ armed forces, although we personally
Our bravery is even weaker than that of the puppet troops, but we belong to the same family and fight on our own, so we are actually a mob. Therefore, the most important battle must be placed under this infantry squadron against the Japanese army. As long as we defeat that enemy
The army will basically be relatively nervous to deal with the other Japanese and puppet troops and these landlords' armed forces.
The leader of the special operations team launched the operation before even asking me about the distribution of personnel outside the courtyard.
The weather was clear that night, it was half moon, the moon was small and round, and the visibility was relatively low.
In order to encourage Sun Feng, Wei Dayong promised that as long as I could complete the task well, Wei Dayong was willing to be my introducer. Since I had no meritorious performance, I would not be able to become an official above-ground member until I passed the preparatory stage.
As I said that, I took out a jade plaque.
Li Dashan took a careless look at the tunnel's exit and found that it was indeed very cleverly designed.
I praised: "The tunnel is really complicated to build. Because it was him, anyone could have discovered it." Zhong Wei then led the way, and Li Dashan and others followed and retreated.
The tunnel is very wide, and it is not easy for two people to pass through it at the same time. The situation is suitable for small groups to pass through slowly. Of course, it is difficult for Li Dashan to pass through.
I asked in a trembling voice: "Is this Captain Wei? I'm Sun Feng."
I heard that Xu Dalong, who was particularly arrogant, called people, and the two long-term workers outside the house also dared to neglect them. Although they were still mumbling, they quickly wore out their clothes and opened the door. Special War
The team members quickly moved in and controlled the seven of us.
Night fell. Zhong Weizhi and others walked to the cemetery in the city. There were dozens of tombs outside the cemetery, which looked eerie and terrifying in the night. Of course, for Li Dashan and the special forces team members, it was completely
Speaking of words, we casually checked each tomb to see where the entrance to the cave was hidden.
A long time ago, the tombstone was pushed away, revealing a white hole, and no head came out of it. When this person climbed down, he looked at his feet. When I raised my head
, I saw a pair of bright eyes staring at me in the night. I was startled a little and almost screamed. The bad thing was that I hadn’t made an appointment with Li Dashan and others to be there tonight.
Meet outside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Naiqing is a local and is very unfamiliar with the situation outside the county. With my help, the squad leader of the special team completed the reconnaissance mission very quickly and left the county that morning.
, introduced in detail the distribution of Japanese and puppet troops outside the county to Li Dashan and the squadron leaders of each special operations squadron.
Along the way, Li Dashan and the special forces team members were all loaded with bullets. They were well prepared for battle and ready to deal with any unexpected situation. Didn't we expect that our trip went so smoothly? We didn't encounter any obstacles on the way.
We arrived at the barracks of the Japanese infantry squadron.
Li Dashan immediately decided to retreat into the county through the tunnel at midnight that evening, launch a surprise attack on the Japanese and puppet troops, and capture the county in one fell swoop.
Before I checked the entire tunnel, I told Sun Feng to stay outside Guanjia Li’s house tomorrow night, and wait until tomorrow night to help remove the wine barrels under the tunnel entrance and put Li Dashan in the house.
Wait for the others to retreat from the city.
There was slowly no movement below, and there were several heavy knocking sounds, indicating that Sun Feng was below. Then there was no sound of moving objects, and the door at the front tunnel opened.
Li Dashan had a complicated discussion with the squadron leaders of several special operations squadrons, and each squadron concluded and launched operations according to the original combat plan.
In order to find out the distribution of Japanese and puppet troops outside Mugushi County, on the afternoon of the seventh day, a squad leader of the special operations team, accompanied by Sun Naiqing, retreated into the county.
The wine cellar where the tunnel entrance is located is a cross-yard of the Li family's courtyard. There are no warehouses, livestock sheds, or houses for storing sundries outside. There are not one or four servants living outside the yard. As long as those people can be controlled, let them
If we make a noise, the special forces members cannot retreat and assemble outside the compound.
When we arrived at the tunnel entrance, the team leader waited for a while. I looked at my watch. When it was time to connect with Sun Feng, I reached out and knocked hard on the cover above my head.
Sun Feng said in a low voice: "I'm just trying to find someone to recognize this bad sentiment. How could a poor person like me not have such valuable things? If others find out, it will still be robbed by Ming Ming."
Li Dashan smiled and said: "Then he is worried. You will definitely be curious about his stuff. Zhong Wei, you heard that he is actively asking for retreat and wants to join the upper class. Now it is time to test him.
.I hope he can help your people retreat out of the city through the tunnel."
Sun Feng had just finished eating the pancake roll with scallions that Li Dashan gave me. I wiped my mouth and said, "Squad leader, I have been a long-term laborer in the house of the rich man Li Guanjia for not even eight years. Two years later, I moved out of the cellar of my house.
I accidentally discovered that there was a secret passage hidden outside. The door of the secret passage was set up very cleverly. The people inside must have known about it in advance. Even if they were right behind their eyes, it would be difficult to find it. Even Butler Li and his family knew about it.
We don't have many ways to take the county seat, even if it's a weak attack, we can do it. Of course, without the unfavorable condition of the secret passage, why would we do this? Besides, after all, Li Dashan only has at hand
There are less than 600 people, and there are no less than 1,700 enemy troops outside the county. Compared with the other two main regiments, which do not have thousands of troops, the enemies outside the county we attack only have at least 1,000 people. Zhong Weizhi is taking advantage, but it cannot be said that he is.
I had gnawed the hardest bone. Therefore, when Li Dashan chose Gushi County, I still felt at ease based on the unfavorable conditions.
Li Dashan said solemnly: "It's you." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and picked up Sun Feng.
Among the eight counties to be attacked, the reason why Li Dashan picked the tough one in Gushi County first was because he did not have the important intelligence provided by the underground party. Of course, that was also the main reason. For those who have experienced hundreds of battles,
For Wei Dayong, Li Dashan and the brave and capable special operations team members we have, a mere county town is just a lie.
When they arrived at the room where the two remaining servants lived, they encountered a big trouble. The door was locked from the outside. The team leader had a complicated discussion with Sun Feng, and Sun Feng walked back and knocked hard on the room.
Door.
The yard outside Guanjia Li's house is very small. The tunnel is too spacious. Due to the delay in starting the battle, the slow movement of the troops would not be able to make it in time. Therefore, Li Dashan asked the squad leader of the special force to first control the small courtyard and move it there.
The missing special operations team members responded outside the yard.
In order to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops under the city wall from observing the situation outside the cemetery, Li Dashan and the special forces team members ended up crawling and retreating far away from the cemetery. A squad leader, led by the squad leader of the special forces team who was scouting the enemy during the day,
He led a squad of special forces members to retreat into the tunnel first. Li Dashan and other special forces members followed suit.
Sun Naiqing is the traffic officer of the above-ground station in Gushi County, and Zhong Wei is my scout and a member of the above-ground station. At present, Sun Feng has not submitted the application, but is actively working hard to become a reserve station officer.
Guocun is a large village with a population of less than 150 households. It is located just Qiwai Road from Gushi County. Standing at the entrance of the village, you cannot see the low city wall of the county seat.
Before retreating into the tunnel, the team leader and team members of the special operations team walked all the way back. Because they had to pass through the moat, the tunnel was very deep. Before retreating into the tunnel, they had to go up a few steps for a certain distance, and then walked down through the steps.
Then there was another section of flat ground, and finally we saw the stairs at the back that did not go down. That was not the cellar outside Butler Li's house.
There were eight people living outside the outer courtyard tonight. Sun Feng and two of them lived in a room, and the other eight people lived in two rooms.
Suddenly, a special operations team member heard the sound of something moving on the ground. Very slowly, I saw a tombstone spinning rapidly. I puffed up my cheeks and imitated a few toad calls, and Zhong Weizhi and others started.
Come around.
Sun Feng said: "Is there any problem with that? When it gets daylight, you can take them to the tunnel to have a look."
Zhong Weizhi took it and looked at it. The jade plaque was no bigger than half the palm of a hand. It was very rough to the touch and very beautifully carved. The whole jade plaque exuded a warm luster. Li Dashan recognized the words engraved below. I
If he knew that the jade tablet was valuable, he would return it to Sun Feng.
There was a groom living outside one of the rooms. Since I had to get up at night to feed the horses, the door was not locked from the outside. After Sun Feng got out, he opened the door directly and waited for the groom to react before being followed back.
The special forces team that arrived took control.
Zhong Weizhi's family has a small business, and there are only about 10 or 40 people in the entire courtyard, including men, women, and old people. If he wants to control us all, it will be a very small challenge for the leader of the special operations team.
The bad thing is that Sun Feng has been working there all year round and is very aware of the situation outside the yard.
The squad leader of the special force who had already reconnoitred the enemy's situation was leading the way. The squad usually led by small and medium-sized city troops walked behind to guard against possible Japanese patrols. Li Dashan followed the squad and followed closely.
Therefore, Li Dashan personally followed the two special operations squadrons and first attacked the barracks where the Japanese infantry squadron was located.
The squad leader left a few special forces members to monitor the activities outside the surrounding courtyard. I sent a signal to the special forces members outside the tunnel at the entrance of the cave. Zhong Weizhi got out first, and the special forces members retreated outside the courtyard one after another.
