concern
In the autumn of 1944, the anti-Japanese army and people in Baiyangdian won a victory in the major counteroffensive. In addition to entrenching in Xin'an County, the Japanese army only left the Bianjiazhai stronghold on the edge of Xidian. The Japanese army and the puppet army in the stronghold fell into the vast sea of our people's war.
On this day, Ren Dawei, the captain of the Yanling team, accepted a new combat mission from the county: before ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, take Bianjiazhai, cooperate with the main force, eliminate the Kamemoto squadron in Xin'an City, and liberate Xin'an City. After Ren Dawei returned, he immediately convened a branch committee to study the combat plan.
In order to fight this battle well, the branch committee decided to fully mobilize the masses in Bianjiazhai Village to give the enemy an internal and external attack. When the meeting was about to disperse, the scout Yu Deshui pushed the door in and handed over a letter from Bian Laoshang, secretary of the underground party branch of Bianjiazhai, to Dawei.
Dawei took the letter and read it, it read: The day before yesterday, the fox and the wolf inserted a pseudo-squad deputy named Zhang Dadiu into Zhao Kang's class, as well as five puppet soldiers, all from Xiongxian County. I hope that someone will come tonight to connect with Zhao Kang, and he will use the fire as a number.
Dawei read the letter and said to He Tao: "Wang Fox, this kid is really cunning, except for the Xiongxian people under him, he is not at ease with anyone. I'll go to Bian Jiazhai tonight to contact Bian Laoshang, and by the way, I'll give some color to the puppet soldiers who are monitoring Zhao Kang!" He Tao agreed with Damast.
In the evening, Dawei, the correspondent Yan Lai, and the scout Yu Deshui, disguised themselves as puppet soldiers, took pistols, flashlights, and half-sack leaflets, boarded a small boat, and rowed to the border village by moonlight.
Bianjiazhai, a large village and town, is surrounded by a wall. It is bordered by Dadian in the east, and there is a moat river three zhang wide in the west, south and north. On the four corners of the earthen village, there are four watchtowers. The Catholic church in the centre of town is where foxes and wolves live.
At this time, Zhao Kang, the squad leader of the puppet army, was pushing pai gow in the northeast corner watchtower with Zhang Dadiu, the deputy of the squad and the puppet army. Zhao Kang received the education of the Yanling team, and asked the Yanling team to bring a group of people over anyway. Dawei and He Tao asked him to stay in the puppet army for the time being and do some work inside the enemy.
Zhang Dadiu, deputy of the puppet squad, touched the bamboo sign while facing the upstairs and shouted: "Big man! Keep your eyes wide open, and pay attention inside and out!" The big puppet soldier said: "Deputy Zhang Ban, don't worry." Just wait for you to win the money and treat you!
The big man was Zhao Kang's men, and he listened to the movement in Dadian. He lit a cigarette and drew two circles towards the east of Oyodo. Immediately, the reeds replied with two dark red flashlights. The big man knew that this was someone from the Yanling team, and immediately coughed downstairs twice.
When Zhao Kang heard the cough, he handed the bamboo card to another puppet soldier and said, "It's really not a coincidence, tonight I have diarrhea, you can show me two handfuls!"
Zhao Kang came to the east of the watchtower and saw a small boat docked. Walked up from the bottom of the embankment and disguised as the mast of the puppet army, Yanlai and Yu Deshui. Zhao Kang hurriedly greeted him.
As soon as they met, the big mast hurriedly asked what was the situation in the watchtower, what was the password? Zhao Kang said: "They are pushing pai gow." The mantra is 'Breeze'. The big mast nodded, explained a few words to Zhao Kang like this, and then quickly climbed down the wall with Yanlai and Yu Deshui.
They clenched their pistols and rode the shadows of the moon to turn around through the alleys and into the streets. Unexpectedly, he ran into the puppet army patrolling the night: "Password?" The big mast calmly replied: "Qingfeng"! The puppet soldiers thought it was their own people, so they walked over.
They crossed the street, turned a small alley, and came to the door of Bian Shuanglian's house behind the Catholic Church, gently pulled open the wooden fence, came to the window, and knocked a few times tightly, one loosely, which was the contact code of their own arrival.
Bian Shuanglian is a member of the underground party branch of Bianjiazhai and the director of the Women's Rescue Association. As soon as she heard that it was her own person, she hurriedly opened the door. Yu Deshui stayed outside to be on guard, and the big mast and geese came into the house. Bian Shuanglian said: "Bian Laoshang, they are coming soon, I'll take a look outside the door."
After a while, Bian Laoshang, the branch secretary, Bian Sheng, the militia captain, and Bian Liang, the leader of the demolition team, followed Shuanglian into the house. The mast beckoned everyone to sit down, and immediately conveyed to them the chief's instructions.
Dawei said to everyone: "Kamemoto, the leader of the Japanese squadron in Xin'an, now there are only two paths: one is to rely on, and the other is to wait. Rely on, that is, to collect the Japanese puppet army in the border village, and move closer to Baoding and Xushui: wait, that is, to delay time, waiting for the Japanese army in Baoding and Xushui to come out to respond. However, the enemies of Baoding and Xushui have been beaten by us to the point that it is difficult to protect themselves.
The big mast then said: "Therefore, the superior instructed us to seize this favorable opportunity to capture the Bianjiazhai before 10 o'clock in the morning of the day after tomorrow, and cooperate with the main force to liberate Xin'an City!"
Later, the mast asked about the recent enemy activity. Bian Laoshang said: "In the past two days, Wang Fox and Wolf Jiu have been looting the people's food again, concentrating all the firewood, rice, oil and salt in the church, and it seems that they are going to defend it to the death!"
Bian Liang said: "There is another situation, the more than 100 long stones in the backyard of the pseudo-mayor who are going to build a house are missing. Shuanglian said: "The night before yesterday, I saw that the puppet soldiers had demolished the backyard of the puppet mayor's house and carried all the stones into the church. I don't know what the hell is going on!
The mast said, "Let's go to the house and reconnoiter first." Bian Sheng took the mast to the house and hid in the shade of Huai. I saw the puppet soldiers standing guard on the high house in the front yard of the puppet mayor's house smoking, and the windows and gun holes at the back of the church were flickering with dim lights.
After a while, several puppet soldiers carried out a large basket from the church, and it turned out that they were carrying soil outward, and poured a basket of soil on the southeast corner. The big mast thought: Could it be that the king fox is digging a tunnel?
The big mast's gaze turned to the backyard of the pseudo-mayor's house again, and in the moonlight, he saw a car that did not look like a car, and a cannon did not look like a cannon at the root of the east wall. He asked Bian Sheng what kind of thing it was? Bian Sheng whispered, "Fire extinguisher." As he observed, the mast envisioned the firepower for attacking the church.
After coming down from the house, everyone sat down under the oil lamp and began to discuss again. Dawei said: "It seems that the attack on Bianjiazhai is the key to tunnel blasting. He turned to Bian Liang, the leader of the demolition team, "Your demolition team dug a tunnel from the backyard of the pseudo-mayor's house to blast, which is the closest to the church. Just open one side of the church and we'll be able to break in.
Then, the big mast made several specific arrangements, especially pointing out: Wang Fox is very cunning. Try to search around the church to see if there are any tunnels to prevent the king fox from escaping. Then let the wild goose come and hand out the leaflets to everyone.
When Damast, Yanlai, and Yu Deshui came out of Shuanglian's house, the northwest wind had already pulled the sky full of dark clouds, and there were no fingers on the street. They discerned the direction and quickly ran towards the watchtower in the northeast corner.
They approached the watchtower in the northeast corner, and it happened that the checkpoint had just passed. Yu Deshui took the opportunity to take out a flashlight covered with a red cloth, hid in the corner of the wall and hit the watchtower twice. Then two matches were struck on the watchtower and answered.
They quickly climbed the earthen village and pounced on the watchtower. The big mast stepped into the door with an arrow, holding two pistols, and shouted to the puppet soldiers: "Don't move! Raise your hands, we are the Yanling team!" The puppet soldiers in the casino were dumbfounded. Zhang Dadiu, deputy of the puppet army squad, trembled with his hands.
Yu Deshui guarded the door, and the geese came in to collect the big guns of the puppet soldiers. The mast shouted to the roof, "Above, throw down the gun, we're going to order the building." Frightened, the puppet army upstairs hurriedly threw down their guns. Yan Lai unbolted all the captured guns.
Dawei called his name: "Zhang Dadiu!" Zhang Dadiu blurted out: "Yes!" Dawei said, "You are the squad leader?" "No, no······ I'm the squad leader, and he's the squad leader!" Zhang Dadiu pointed at Zhao Kang with a trembling hand.
Dawei said: "The squad leader and the squad deputy come out to talk!" He and Yu Deshui escorted Zhao Kang and Zhang Da out of the watchtower.
Yan Lai lectured the puppet soldiers at the door, and finally said: "Before your squad leader and squad deputy come back, whoever goes out will be killed!" The puppet soldiers nodded yes and did not dare to move.
Yan Lai went down to the earthen village with a dozen big guns, caught up with the big mast and the water, and escorted Zhao Kang and Zhang Da to the boat.
At this time, the wind and waves were calm, and the boat stopped in the reeds. Dawei interrogated Zhao Kang and said, "Say, as the leader of the puppet army, what plan does Wang Fox have for you?" Zhao Kang said: "There is no deployment!" Dawei pretended to be angry and said: "Wow! You are dead set on being an enemy of the people, take a sack, and put him up first!"
Yanlai and Yu Deshui put Zhao Kang into a sack. The big mast said, "Zhang Dadiu!" "Yes!" Zhang Dadiu knelt on the bow of the ship with a "grunt". The big mast said: "Zhao Kang is about to see the Dragon Prince, see if you tell the truth?"
Zhang Da Diao kowtowed like garlic and said: "Grandpa Yanling spares his life! I am under Wang Fox, but I am only a person in the third circle, and he asked me to insert myself into Zhao Kang's class in order to spy on him." Send me an extra five dollars a month!
Dawei said: "You are still not at ease with such a hardcore traitor? Let me ask you, what are the more than 100 stones from the pseudo-mayor's house getting into the church?" Zhang Dadi said: "I don't know this!" Dawei said angrily: "Give him some color!" Yanlai and Yu Deshui threw the sack containing Zhao Kang into Dadian.
Zhang Da Duo was frightened, kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy, he trembled and said: "Yanling team masters, to be honest, the people in our three or four circles are not allowed to enter the church. I only heard Li Mazi, the leader of the spy squad, say that the church is fortified with stones, and the Yanling team wants to attack it!
The big mast asked: "What kind of fortifications will be built?" Zhang Da Di said: "I really don't know this, he didn't say it clearly, I didn't see it, drowned me, I can't say it!"
The boat docked at Yodo. Dawei said to Zhang Dadiu: "Today's treatment of you is different from Zhao Kang's, depending on your future performance, take down the watchtower to settle the account! Dawei asked Yan to hand over the bolt of the big gun to him and ordered him to go back."
After Zhang Dadiu climbed ashore, the boat immediately rowed towards Dadian.
Zhang Da staggered into the watchtower. When the puppet soldiers saw him coming back, they took the bolt of the gun and asked about Zhao Kanglai. Zhang Da was shocked and said: "Oh, my mother! It's easy to say that you want to die! Team leader Zhao is too dead-eyed, he was put into a sack and thrown ······ Throw it into the big lake!
Zhang Dadi never expected: it turned out that the sack containing Zhao Kang was not tied at all, just to show him, when Zhao Kang was thrown into the water, Zhao Kang kicked open the sack and swam to the shore.
Just as Zhang Da Diao was talking about the situation of Zhao Kang being thrown into Dadian, Zhao Kang stepped into the door covered in water. Everyone was taken aback.
As soon as Zhao Kang saw Zhang Dadiu, he scolded angrily: "I am so bitter that you kid sold me! If I hadn't kicked the sack open with all my might, I would have seen the Dragon King by now." You fucking came back pretty quickly, and you exposed the military secret to the Yanling team!
Zhang Da said beggingly: "Squad Leader Zhao, you dissipate your anger first." At this time, it is not better to ask for the safety of the population, why be so desperate!" The puppet soldiers said: "Yes, people are drilling in the church, and we are working hard in the outer guard tower, what are we trying to do?"
When Zhao Kang heard these words, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he said to Zhang Dadiu: "Didn't Wang Fox send you to spy on me? Now, maybe when the Yanling team will attack the village, what will we do? I'll listen to you.
Zhang Da Diao hurriedly pulled Zhao Kang aside and said: "Squad leader Zhao, his Yanling team is coming to attack the village, why don't we want to push the boat down the river? Why bother to touch the eggs on the stones! Zhao Kang said: "If you had said this earlier, why would I have asked the Yanling team to throw them into the lake!"
In the afternoon of the next day, when Ren Dawei was carefully examining the battle plan according to the reconnaissance obtained from the team headquarters, instructor He Tao walked into the house with a large volume of determination and said: "Our opponents are cunning foxes and ruthless wolves. We're going to have to overestimate some of his ideas.
The big mast nodded and said: "Yes, the Catholic church is so tightly blocked, more than 100 stones are gone, and there is a possibility of digging tunnels! Li Mazi said, "The church has built fortifications with stones, and the Yanling team wants to attack it." Is it that Wang Fox is preparing for our tunnel blasting?" He Tao said: "It is very likely.
He Tao thought for a moment and said, "Just now, some of the squad proposed to use an earthen tank to rush up and use explosives packs to blast the church into a gap. The mast said, "Yes, that's another plan." Hold a meeting right away and study it.
At the meeting of the squad leader and the militia captains of the villages, He Tao made a pre-war political mobilization, and the big mast made a careful operational deployment, and finally said: "The battle must end before ten o'clock tomorrow, and then, march to Xin'an, and destroy Kamemoto with the main force in one fell swoop, and liberate Xin'an City!"
After dinner that day, the militia of various villages shouted with radio receivers at several watchtowers in Bianjiazhai and launched a political offensive. Then there was a burst of gunfire, and there was no sound.
The puppet army squadron leader Wang Fox and the devil Cao Changwolf Jiu dragged the puppet mayor to patrol the Tuzhai for a while, and finally came to the watchtower in the northeast corner. Wang Fox called Zhang Dadiu aside and asked, "What's suspicious about Zhao Kang recently?" Zhang Dadiu said, "No." Wang Fox said: "Continue to monitor, don't relax!."
Wang Fox, Wolf Jiu and the pseudo-mayor returned to the Catholic Church, and Wang Fox's little wife had already prepared a sumptuous banquet.
Wang Fox said while drinking: "The array of guns just now is the sparrow tactics of the Eighth Route Army. Tossing for a while, probably the night will pass again. Tomorrow, maybe Kamemoto Taikun will come to pick us up. The pseudo-mayor said worriedly: "Several regiments of the Eighth Route Army have come over, and I don't think it's certain whether Captain Kamemoto can come out or not."
Wolf Nine said: "Your rest assured. Captain Kamemoto won't give up on us. There is no cannon of the Tubalu plane, you want to enter my Catholic church!" At this moment, Li Mazi, the leader of the reconnaissance squad, ran in in a panic: "Report to the captain, a large number of leaflets have been found outside!" said and handed Wang Fox a sheet.
The leaflet reads: "The fox in the grave, the wolf in the cave, the fox and the jackal do not live long, just wait for the sound of the hunting gun, and the jackal and fox will see the king of Hades!" When the king fox saw it, he tore it to pieces in a rage, and shouted: "Pick up the leaflets for me and burn them all!"
This night, Zhao Kang on the watchtower in the northeast corner did not close his eyes, he watched the movement of Dadian. At this time, the moon was setting in the western sky, and it was the darkness before dawn. Suddenly, a few red lights flashed in the big lake, Zhao Kang was overjoyed, hurriedly lit a fire, and drew two circles in the air to answer.
Then, Zhao Kang went downstairs to wake up Zhang Dadiu and the puppet soldiers, and said, "Brothers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions!" The puppet soldiers got up one after another.
Zhao Kang and Zhang Da Dian walked out of the watchtower. A small boat rowed silently. The soldiers of Ren Dawei and Yanling's team jumped off the boat and boarded the earthen village. Ren Dawei said to Zhao Kang and Zhang Dadiu: "You have made meritorious contributions, burn down the watchtower as soon as it starts!" After speaking, he rushed down the earthen village.
Ren Dawei took the soldiers of the Yanling team through the wall and through the courtyard, until they reached the vicinity of the pseudo-mayor's house.
The villagers and militiamen of Bianjiazhai took off their door panels, dismantled the earthen kang, and built a bunker for the Yanling team on the high house. The Yanling soldiers quietly climbed up to the tall rooms around the church. The enemy sentry noticed the movement, and just as he was about to shout, he was knocked down by a shot from the mast, and with the gunshot, the Yanling soldiers launched a fierce attack.
The king fox woke up from his sleep, and his little wife cried out in panic: "My mother!
Under the fierce attack of the Yanling soldiers, the puppet army in the front yard of the pseudo mayor's house retreated without firing a few shots and fled into the church.
Dawei and Yan came to Shuanglian's house, and Bian Laoshang reported to him that the blasting team had begun to dig a tunnel. The big mast asked, "Is there a hole around the church?" Bian Laoshang said: "Even in the pseudo-mayor's house and the pseudo-cooperative, we have checked, but we have not found the hole!"
Dawei thought for a moment and said, "You should assign the militia who know the king fox to guard the street around the church in case he escapes in disguise." Bian Laoshang said: "Don't worry, don't let him slip through the net!"
The mast ascended to the position of the high house, only to see that the watchtower in the northeast corner had caught fire, and the militia of the villages poured into the earthen village like a tide, and quickly solved the puppet army of the east and west gates.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the watchtower in the northwest corner was blown up by our militia. The two watchtowers in the southwest and southeast raised white flags.
At this time, Zhao Kang came to the mast with their group of soldiers anyway and asked for a combat mission
It was dawn and the gunfire stopped. The soldiers on several high-rise positions launched a political offensive against the enemy, and Zhao Chong, the leader of the first squad, put down his machine gun and shouted: "Wang Fox! Open your dog's eyes, your watchtower will be reimbursed! The Catholic church is not a safe! Surrender, or I will send you back to your hometown!"
The king fox shouted next to the gun hole in the church: "You don't have airplanes and cannons, and with your few burning sticks, you want to attack my church, that's a dream!"
Ren Dawei hinted at Zhao Kang with his eyes, and Zhao Kang shouted: "Puppet sergeants! I am Zhao Kang, and Zhang Dadiu and I have already made meritorious contributions to the elimination of devils and traitors. I advise you to stop working for the enemy, quickly turn your guns and shoot at the king fox and wolf nine!
Wang Fox was annoyed and angry, picked up the crooked machine gun and fired at Zhao Kang. Zhao Chong's hand was quick, and the hole of the gun aimed at the enemy was a shuttle, and the enemy's machine gun suddenly became dumb.
Shuanglian led the comrades of the Women's Rescue Association to deliver meals to the high-rise fortifications. The fighters took turns eating while attacking. At this time, Bian Liang, the leader of the demolition team, ran over and shouted at the mast on the house: "Captain, come down quickly!"
The big mast came down from the house, and Bian Liang said eagerly: "The king fox is really vicious! We dug three feet far into the church, and we encountered a big stone, and we couldn't dig it!" The big mast frowned, and said, "This must be that they put the more than 100 stones of the mayor's house under the church!"
Dawei immediately held an emergency meeting with He Tao in the courtyard of the Shuanglian family. The big mast said: "I estimate that there may be mines behind the stones, and there is no hope for the tunnel to be blasted!" He Tao said: "In broad daylight, it is not very certain that the explosion will be carried out by means of an earthen tank." Let's think of a new way to take the church!
Dawei took out his pocket watch and saw that the hour hand was pointing to nine o'clock, and there was only one hour before the time when the superior chief asked to capture the border village. The big mast eyebrows suddenly twisted into a pimple: What should I do?
Shuanglian Niang, who was cooking bean soup for the soldiers in the outer room, was also very anxious, and walked in and asked Shuanglian: "Have you figured out a way?" At this time, the fire in the stove hall suddenly came out, and Shuanglian hurriedly shouted: "Fire, fire is out!"
When everyone heard it, they all said that the "fire attack" was good. The group discussed the specific method of fire attack: wrap cotton balls around the head of the long pole, dip them in gasoline, pull a fuse from the cotton balls, and then insert them into the church windows from the side of the high wall, light the fuse, and the cotton balls will burn the roof when they catch fire.
Once you have the solution, you should immediately prepare separately. Bian Sheng and Bian Liang got a cedar pole and a bamboo pole from a dyeing shop, and prepared to connect the two poles together; Shuanglian took out his new quilt cover; and Bian Laoshang found more than a dozen catties of gasoline. He said: "There are still two large barrels of kerosene in the pseudo-cooperative, and we will carry them if we need them."
As soon as the big mast heard that there were two large barrels of kerosene, he immediately thought of the artificial pressurized water firefighter, and hurriedly asked Bian Sheng: "Can this guy use it?" Bian Sheng said: "Yes! The poor buddy set fire to the reed mat of the big family and burned him to the ground, so he bought it from the city." The mast said, "Okay, let's use it to add fuel to the fire!"
Everything is in place. He Tao Ordered Soldiers on Several High Buildings to Shoot Fiercely at the Church Under the cover of fire, the mast commanded a dozen or so people, raised a long pole, erected it on the high wall, stretched out to the window of the church, and pulled the fuse.
In the church, before the devil puppet army could figure out what kind of weapon it was, they saw that the cotton ball on the pole "poofed" and burst into flames, burning the roof in an instant.
The militiamen struggled to press kerosene with firefighters, and masts with hoses sprayed into the windows where the fire started. The fire added fuel to the fire, and the fire became more and more vigorous, burning the Japanese soldiers and puppet army ghosts crying wolf.
The devil puppet army fled from the church in panic, and under the angry eyes of the crowd, raised his hands and surrendered. The mast shouted from the house: "Comrades, rush into the church and capture the king fox alive!"
The soldiers rushed into the courtyard and escorted out Wolf Jiu and the pseudo-mayor, at this time, a person dressed as a militiaman, tied up a demonic woman and bluffed while walking: "You go and catch the king fox, I will escort his little wife to the district first!"
Zhao Kang next to him immediately recognized him and hurriedly shouted: "Catch him! He is not a militiaman! He is a disguised Wang fox!" As soon as Wang Fox saw through it, he raised his gun and hit him, Zhao Chong rushed up with an arrow and grabbed his wrist, "Horn! The bullet hit the sky."
Several militiamen rushed up and tied up the king fox, and Zhao Chong said angrily: "Cunning fox! You can't escape from the hands of the people!" and his little wife were escorted away.
The big mast loudly proclaimed from the high house: "Comrades, fellow villagers! Bianjiazhai has been liberated!" The soldiers and civilians cheered and jumped, and the slogans shook the heavens and the earth: "Long live the Communist Party! Long live Chairman Mao!"
In order to expand the results of the battle, the soldiers of the Yanling team and the militia of various villages, bid farewell to the villagers, and marched to Xin'an City victoriously!
