Li Jinzhu and others, who were already impatient with waiting, pulled the rope in their hands hard.
"Boom, boom, boom." More than a hundred stone mines buried in the valley exploded. The violent shock wave sent the Japanese and puppet soldiers flying, and countless gravels stabbed into them.
body of.
The explosive packs placed by Xu Dalong personally blew up countless rubbles. The rubbles relied on the stone wall to form a directional blast, and the violent storm of rubbles rushed horizontally towards the dense enemy group.
These explosions were so violent that the entire valley shook.
Li Yinzhu was very excited and was clapping his hands when he accidentally slipped and almost fell down the mountain. Fortunately, Li Jinzhu had sharp eyes and quick hands and caught him.
Thick smoke billowed in the valley and could not dissipate for a long time.
The Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy losses, and Captain Tian Zhong was killed immediately. The explosion caused at least 200 casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops.
The leader of the puppet army was very thoughtful. After entering the valley, he deliberately fell behind and was lucky enough to escape.
Due to the large number of Japanese and puppet troops and the long queue, one battalion of puppet troops and half a squad of Japanese troops remained intact.
Seeing the tragic scene of corpses strewn in front of them, they immediately began to retreat.
Qin Yu, the soldiers of the sniper squad and the militiamen of Qiligou Village fired randomly at the Japanese and puppet troops down the mountain.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers who were lucky to be alive had no intention of fighting and ran directly out of the mountain.
Sun Desheng and others heard the explosion in the valley and hurriedly rushed in on horseback.
The Japanese and puppet army's transport team was driven by civilians, and only a few puppet soldiers were watching them. Seeing the large group of Eighth Route Army cavalry rushing over, they all ran away with their heads in their hands.
Sun Desheng and others quickly rushed into the enemy's transport team.
At this time, they saw a large group of Japanese and puppet troops escaping from the valley, and immediately set up machine guns to stop them.
The Japanese and puppet troops were attacked from both sides. They knew that it was extremely dangerous in the valley, so they rushed over desperately under the command of Captain BJ, hoping to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Sun Desheng knew that his troops were weak and could not resist the Japanese and puppet troops head-on, so he retreated while fighting, covering the soldiers and driving the cart out of the valley.
The Japanese and puppet troops were chasing closely behind them. Rather than chasing Sun Desheng and others, it was better to say that they were eager to escape from the valley.
At this time, Xu Dalong and others had climbed to the top of the mountain and launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in the valley.
The attack from the top of the mountain made the enemy very confused and effectively blocked their advance, which bought time for Sun Desheng and others to break away from the enemy.
Soon after, the guerrillas pulled the captured cart and ran out of the valley, then got off the road and ran towards the back of the mountain on the side.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the valley discovered that there were not many guerrillas on the top of the mountain. They fired back and ran desperately out of the valley.
Sun Desheng and others were satisfied with having captured a large amount of supplies. When they saw the enemy fleeing, they were too lazy to pursue them, so they waited at the foot of the mountain for Xu Dalong and others to come down.
After Xu Dalong came down from the mountain, he learned that there were more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops who had escaped. He originally wanted to catch up and destroy them, but later he felt that if he wiped out all these enemies, he would have completely exposed his strength and would
Invite more enemies to deal with you.
Today's guerrilla forces are still too small, and the base area is not large. If a large group of enemy troops are recruited, the guerrillas still cannot handle it.
After understanding this, he decided to give up.
At this moment, a militiaman from Qiligou Village came over and reported that a group of Japanese and puppet troops had detoured to Qiligou Village.
Xu Dalong left a squad of soldiers to take care of the supplies, and led other guerrillas on horseback into the valley, heading straight for Qiligou Village.
A squad of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet soldiers who took a detour over the mountain from the other side of the valley climbed to the top of the mountain and saw Qiligou Village in the distance.
They rested for a while and then surrounded them in the direction of Qiligou Village.
They also heard violent explosions and gunshots in the valley, but they didn't pay attention. They thought it was a large group of people fighting fiercely with the guerrillas. They accelerated their pace and continued to move towards Ligou Village.
Qin Yu discovered this enemy force on the top of the mountain. While he sent people to report the news to Xu Dalong and others, he also led the sniper squad and the militia of Qiligou Village towards Qiligou Village.
The Japanese and puppet troops finally arrived at Qiligou Village. They did not dare to rush in, so they sent several top soldiers to search the village.
After a short time, a few top soldiers waved to the Japanese and puppet troops outside, indicating that no one was in the village, so the Japanese and puppet troops ran towards the village.
After the Japanese and puppet troops entered the village, they launched a search in the village. Their main goal was not to search for the guerrillas, but to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to see what valuable things they could grab and make a fortune.
It's a pity that Qiligou Village was already very poor, and people took away all the valuable things, leaving only some clumsy items.
The Japanese and puppet troops struggled for a long time and got nothing. They were very angry. So they set fire everywhere and burned down the village to vent their bad breath.
When Qin Yu led the sniper squad soldiers and militiamen to arrive, they saw thick smoke rising from the village.
They were very angry and launched an attack on the puppet soldiers who were on guard outside the village.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the village heard gunshots coming from outside. Judging from the number of gunshots, the number of guerrillas was not large, so they rushed out of the village.
The soldiers in the sniper squad were very experienced in combat. They each chose a concealment and shot at the Japanese and puppet soldiers with their rifles. They all had excellent marksmanship, and more than a dozen Japanese and puppet soldiers were killed on the spot.
When the Japanese and puppet troops saw how powerful the enemy was, some fell down on the spot and some retreated directly into the village.
The militiamen in Qiligou Village also imitated the soldiers of the sniper squad and shot at the Japanese and puppet troops. Their training time was still too short. After fighting for a long time, not a single Japanese and puppet soldier was hit. Instead, two militiamen were killed.
Bullet wound.
The puppet company commander also had a lot of combat experience. He saw that although the enemies outside the village were accurate with their marksmanship, they were not many in number, so he ordered machine gun cover to suppress the enemy's firepower, organized a platoon of puppet troops to attack frontally, and the other two
The platoon's troops surrounded Qin Yu and others from both wings.
The Japanese soldiers of that class were originally hiding behind the puppet soldiers. Seeing how brave the puppet soldiers were, they also joined in.
The Japanese soldiers' marksmanship was very accurate. It didn't take long before they killed a militiaman from Qiligou Village.
The militiamen became panicked. Some lay on the ground and did not dare to get up. Some simply turned around and ran away. Li Jinzhu shouted as hard as he could, but he could not stop them.
Seeing this situation, Qin Yu had no choice but to ask Li Jinzhu and others to withdraw first, while they took cover from behind.
Watching that the puppet troops on both sides were about to outflank them, Qin Yu and others had no choice but to retreat while fighting.
Wherever the Japanese and puppet troops were willing to let go, they were hotly pursuing us. The situation was very critical.
At this moment, Xu Dalong and others arrived. More than a dozen light machine guns opened fire at once, and the Japanese and puppet troops were immediately defeated and fled into the village in panic.
Zheng Xirong and Wei Monk had rich combat experience. Without waiting for Xu Dalong's command, they led their men to tightly surround the village.
When the militiamen in Qiligou Village saw the main force of the guerrillas coming, they became bolder and ran back one after another.
Seeing that their houses were burned down, every one of them was filled with rage and wanted to rush in and destroy the enemy, letting out a breath of evil.
Sun Desheng and others have lived in this village for so long and have deep feelings for this village. They are also very angry and demand an attack on the enemies in the village.
Xu Dalong was not angry, but became happy.
He said: "The Japanese and puppet troops in the county have suffered such a big loss. They will never dare to come here again in the short term. In other words, the Japanese and puppet troops in the village have no reinforcements. There is no need for us to attack by force to avoid causing unforeseen consequences."
necessary casualties.
My opinion is that we just surround them. There is no food in the village, so they won't be able to hold on for long, and this is a good opportunity to train our new soldiers and the militiamen from the eight villages in Qilin Township."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Sun Desheng said: "Captain, no wonder the Japs always suffer. You are too evil-minded."
Monk Wei admired Xu Dalong the most. As long as someone said something bad about Xu Dalong, even if it was a joke, he would not do it.
He said dissatisfiedly: "Vice Captain Sun, what are you talking about? Mr. Long is not a man of many minds, but a clever head."
Sun Desheng said disdainfully: "I'm talking about Monk Wei, you're not very good at using this word. What does it mean to have a flexible brain? How can a flexible brain still wander around? That's not called flexible brain, that's called smart. Eh.
, I don’t understand, is there any difference between being smart and being thoughtful?”
Hearing the two bickering, everyone laughed again.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers who fled into the village now regretted it very much. Now that the houses in the village were on fire, they basically had nowhere to hide after entering the village. The heat wave from the raging fire made them extremely uncomfortable.
The Japanese and puppet troops were expecting a large force to rescue them, but after waiting for about an hour, there was still no news. They understood that something might have happened to their large army.
The puppet company commander felt that staying in the village was not an option, so he organized a breakout.
They first launched a charge to the east. As soon as they left the village, they were shot back by machine guns from the guerrillas.
The puppet company commander believed that the main force of the guerrillas was to the east, so he immediately led his troops to break through from the west of the village.
The result was the same, they were still beaten back by a heavy hail of bullets.
Seeing how fierce the enemy's firepower was, the puppet company commander knew that a forced breakout would not work, so he ordered the troops to defend and prepare to hold out until dark before looking for opportunities to breakout.
Wang Xiaohu and the villagers in Qiligou Village have been waiting for news about the guerrillas. When they saw a guerrilla running over, they were all very nervous, worried that the guerrillas and the militia would suffer.
The guerrillas who came to report the news shouted loudly as they ran: "Captain Wang, folks, our guerrillas have won the battle. They have defeated hundreds of Japanese puppet troops and surrounded a hundred or so of them. Soon
We can destroy them."
Hearing this, the guerrilla recruits and fellow villagers all cheered.
The guerrillas ran up to Wang Xiaohu and said: "Captain Wang, our captain asked you to take the new recruits to learn more."
In addition to Qiligou Village, the people in other villages in the Qilinfeng Anti-Japanese Base Area were also very happy when they heard that the guerrillas had won a great victory. The militiamen in the other seven villages heard that a group of Japanese and puppet troops had been surrounded.
They went to watch the battle, and they were all very excited. Following the guerrilla correspondents, they rushed to Qiligou Village.
