The legend of Shuyang Beacon
Chapter 13
Jiang Han
One
Qinzhuang is a village on the banks of the Chaimi River, consisting of five small villages. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it was the location of the eight districts of the anti-Japanese base area in Dongguanshu. In order to resist the invasion of the Japanese puppet army, the Qinzhuang militia, under the leadership of the district head Qin Qijun and the captain Qin Tongren, relied on the natural barrier of the Chaimi River, and used the strong fortifications such as the soil wei and watchtower of Qinzhuang, Housongzhuang, Xiaozhangwei and Sunwei to carry out a tenacious struggle against the enemy, and successively resisted the enemy outside the village three times, known as the title of "iron beating Qinzhuang".
In February 1942, Tu Feiyuan and Zhang Huanan led more than 300 puppet troops, divided into two routes, to carry out a "sweep" of the anti-Japanese base area in the east of our country, and rushed straight to Qinzhuang.
Qin Qijun and Qin Tongren saw that the enemy attacked the village from the east and west sides at the same time, and led more than 60 militiamen in the village to resist bravely, but the enemy's firepower was fierce, and Qinzhuang was outnumbered on all sides, so they had to retreat while fighting, retreat to Xiaozhangwei, close the polder, and use the polder wall to hold on to wait for help.
The Japanese puppet regiment surrounded Xiao Zhangwei, set up grenadiers, and fired shells into the Wei non-stop, "Boom! "Boom!" The sound shook the sky, the dust was flying, the houses collapsed, the casualties were killed, the militia hid in the trenches, and there was no way to fight back, and the enemy tried in vain to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in Qinzhuang in one fell swoop.
The gunfire stopped, and the Japanese puppet army rushed up from all directions.
"The enemy is coming! Get ready for battle! Qin Qijun, the head of the district, held the barge gun in his hand, his face was full of smoke and dust, and he observed the enemy's movement from the eye of the gun.
"Fire!" Captain Qin Tongren gave an order, all the guns fired in unison, and the Japanese puppet army in front was shot and fell, and the enemy behind stepped on their corpses and pounced frantically.
When the militia saw the enemy approaching Weizi, they threw out grenades one after another, and exploded violently, shaking the ground and swaying into the sky, and the smoke and flames soared into the sky, causing the enemy to run away.
"Shoot!" Seeing that the attack had failed, Dohihara ordered machine gun fire.
The "Da Da Da" devil had a Type 92 heavy machine gun and two Type 96 light machine guns firing at the same time, and the dense bullets whizzed and flew towards Xiao Zhangwei, forming a hornet's nest on the polder wall.
"Get down!" Qin Tongren saw that the militia You Qingyun was half exposed on the polder wall, and shouted loudly.
You Qingyun was eager to kill the enemy, lying on the polder wall and aiming at the enemy to shoot, he didn't have time to hide himself, and was discovered by the enemy, and the devil turned the machine gun muzzle is a shuttle bullet, which just hit You Qingyun's head, and You Qingyun fell down from the side of the polder wall.
"You Qingyun!" The militiamen shouted loudly, but You Qingyun was killed.
"Dog Day Stuff!" Seeing that their comrades were unfortunately killed, the militiamen were full of anger, and braved the enemy's fierce fire, one by one, they raised their rifles and fired back.
Seeing that the gunfire of the resistance in the polder was still alive, Dohihara also killed two Japanese soldiers and seven or eight puppet soldiers, and immediately ordered the grenadiers to fire shells.
Another round of bombardment began, and the devils wanted to dump all the shells here.
The sound of gunfire stopped, and Xiao Zhangwei experienced a brutal fierce battle, full of broken walls and ruined buildings, burning houses, gunpowder smoke filled the sky over Qinzhuang, and the air exuded a choking smell of gunpowder.
Zhang Huanan stood up, looked at Xiao Zhang Wei full of devastation, estimated that the militia was either killed or injured by the explosion, and he had no energy to save, and he couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face. He looked at his watch, the hands were already pointing to four o'clock in the afternoon, and in his heart he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, so he turned to Tohihara and said, "All of them are dead." Even if it's a stone, it has to be fried into powder! ”
"Your troops go in, clean up the battlefield, and prepare to end the battle," Tohihara said. ”
Zhang Huanan was ordered to command Fan Naiji's four brigades of soldiers to enter the polder to clean up the battlefield.
When the soldiers saw that the guns had been fired, Xiao Zhangwei was silent, they had lost their resistance, the danger had been eliminated, and now it was time to reap the fruits of the battle, so they swarmed up.
Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, the puppet army approached the polder wall.
"Hurry up!" Qin Tongren came out of the mound, wiped the dust on his face, and shouted at the militiamen: "The enemy is coming!" ”
One by one, the dusty militiamen emerged from the trenches, re-erected their rifles on the polders, and aimed them at the approaching puppet army.
The puppet army didn't expect that there was still a militia in the polder, and they could fight! Looking at the puppet army that was getting closer and closer, the militiamen held their breath, aimed at their respective targets, and opened fire impatiently without waiting for Qin Tongren to shout and fight. Militia Sun Hong pointed his gun at a puppet squad leader and pulled the trigger suddenly, only to see the guy stumble and fall to the edge of the ditch.
A fierce gunfire came from the polder, and the puppet army was killed and wounded when they walked in front, and the rest of the puppet army saw this and hurriedly hugged their heads and ran away.
"Go back!" Tu Feiyuan brandished an Oriental sword and shouted, Zhang Huanan and Fan Naiji also raised their guns to supervise the battle, and crossed the intersection to coerce the native soldiers.
As soon as the puppet soldiers saw it, they were dead in front and dead in the future, so they went with him, turned around and rushed back.
At this moment, a burst of gunfire came from the east, and the head of Lu Zhenzhong led more than 500 people of the county independent regiment to rush to reinforcements from Lotus Pond Village and attack from behind Tufeiyuan.
Tufeiyuan was attacked by a surprise attack, panicked, the scene was chaotic, and the other party's raindrops of grenades flew over, blowing up the corpses of the Japanese puppet army all over the field.
Seeing that the enemy was like a headless fly, District Chief Qin Qijun shouted happily, and saw Zhang Huanan pointing from a distance, busy blocking reinforcements, he intervened, raised his rifle and aimed at him and fired a shot. The bullet was not biased or slanted, and it was hitting Zhang Huanan's ass.
Zhang Huanan felt a pain in his buttocks, reached out and touched it, and the bullet was still half exposed outside the flesh, "Fuck! "I reached out and tried to pull the bullet out, but it didn't move, and it was embedded in the bone.
"Retreat!" Seeing that the other party's reinforcements arrived, Tu Feiyuan suffered from the enemy on his belly and back, and Zhang Huanan was injured again, so he quickly ordered to flee back to the county seat.
Two
After Zhang Huanan was wounded, Japan military doctors who arrived from Haizhou performed surgery on him and removed the warhead embedded in his ass.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a tendon or a bone. Although this Hua Nan hip bone was not seriously injured, it did not taste good when lying on the hospital bed for a long time. The captains of the county's fifteen security brigades rushed to visit when they heard the news, which was somewhat of a consolation to Zhang Huanan, who was in unbearable pain.
Fan Naiji, the captain of the four teams, comforted Zhang Huanan and said: "Captain, you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and the brothers will take care of the matter of going to the countryside to 'maintain public order and integrity', you don't have to worry!" ”
"Captain Fan, you will appreciate it when you come to see me, and give me a heavy gift, so that my brother will not go!" Zhang Huanan said.
Why did Fan Naiji give a gift to Zhang Huanan? This Fan Naiji is the captain of the four security guards stationed in Tangjian and Zhangji, and Qinzhuang is his defense area. Qin Zhuang is solid, Tu Feiyuan retreated, Zhang Huanan was injured, and Fan Naiji was afraid that they would find fault and fiddle with themselves in the future. There is another factor, that is, the position of deputy commander of the county security brigade has been vacant, Zhang Huanan originally wanted to promote Zhuang Zhiyuan, but Tu Feiyuan never expressed his position, and this matter was suppressed. Fan Naiji has been snooping for a long time, and finally saw this opportunity to pat himself on the back.
There are not a few people who are dying in the position of deputy commander, Zhang Huanan only has the right to recommend, and the real decision is still up to Tu Feiyuan. Zhang Huanan knew Fan Naiji's enthusiasm and deliberately sighed: "Alas, Qinzhuang was dissatisfied, and I was hurt again. Only by taking Qin Zhuang down can he have face in front of the imperial army. ”
"Captain, don't worry, no matter how strong Qin Zhuang is, I will take him down, give an explanation in front of the imperial army, and avenge your Commander Zhang!" Fan Naiji continued.
"Then please your brother and all the brothers! I must be so kind in front of the imperial army, no matter how big things are done! Zhang Huanan saw that Fan Naiji took the initiative to attack Qinzhuang again, and said a few words of encouragement.
"Then you just wait for the good news!" Fan Naiji said with confidence.
Three
Zhang Huanan was obsessed with Qin Zhuang, Fan Naiji knew it, and he was convinced that Qin Zhuang could not be attacked, but could only be outwitted. Once it is broken, there is light on his face, and Tu Feiyuan and Zhang Huanan have to look at themselves. Fan Naiji was secretly fighting Qin Zhuang's idea.
In mid-June, when the mango is planted, the wheat straw in the countryside has been stacked, all the grain has been returned to the warehouse, and the farmers are busy sowing the autumn crops. At this time, a team of more than 100 people appeared on the embankment of the Chaimi River, although the pace and action were not very neat, but judging from the dress of the gray cloth uniform, this was a team of the Eighth Route Army. They wanted to cross the river from the north bank of the left crossing, but when they saw a ferry boat on the south bank, they called out loudly: "Hey! Old man, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we have to cross the river to the south bank. Come and get on the ferry, how much you want! ”
"Are you the Eighth Route Army?" Father Sun, who was ferrying on the south bank of the left crossing, asked loudly.
"Yes! We are the Eighth Route Army, passing by here, hurry up and hold the boat over! ”
Speaking of the Eighth Route Army, Sun Dad's heart was happy, in the spring, after the head of Lu Zhenzhong led the county independent regiment to drive away the Japanese puppet army, he was stationed in Sun Wei in Qinzhuang that night. Commander Lu came to his house to ask for warmth, and the soldiers also helped to feed the cattle and grass, feed the livestock, and clean the yard, just like a family. The fine style of the Eighth Route Army left a deep impression on Daddy Sun.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was about to cross the river, Daddy Sun had no suspicion or vigilance at all, and readily agreed: "Wait a minute, you will come!" ”
Daddy Sun didn't say a word, turned the bow of the ship, and quickly went to the north bank, the Eighth Route Army in his mind, is a heavenly soldier who does good things for the people and fights devils to save China, how can there be no reason not to cross!
The boat slowly approached the shore, and Daddy Sun glanced at the north shore and was stunned. This Eighth Route Army team, there is neither the head of Lu Zhenzhong he knows, nor Xiao Xu, who helps his family carry water and sweep the courtyard, some of them are lying on the ground, some are wearing military hats crookedly, and some are open chests, carrying guns diagonally, and hanging their children, all of them are fresh faces. Is this the Eighth Route Army? Daddy Sun muttered in his heart, so he asked loudly, "Are you the people of Head Lu?" ”
"Yes! Captain Lu will be here soon, old man, don't be wordy, dock quickly! ”
As soon as the boat landed, the group scrambled to squeeze into the boat, and the boat was trampled and swayed from side to side.
"Hey, slow down, slow down! The boat was too small, and only six or seven people could be on board at a time. Daddy Sun hurriedly stopped.
"Damn it, you can only pass these few people at a time, it's too few. Hey, old man, hurry up and make a few more trips! A person who looks like an official is pointing fingers at Daddy Sun.
Daddy Sun held the basket hard, and the boat moved slowly with the thrust, and Daddy Sun glanced at the officer on the shore, and then jumped on the boat with a big lunge, and the boat sailed towards the center of the river.
Daddy Sun was puzzled by the propping up of the boat, these soldiers did not look like the Eighth Route Army, the officer spoke and behaved rudely, he seemed to have seen him somewhere? There is a scar on the right side of his face, which is clearly visible, but it is rusty.
Daddy Sun was holding the boat, meditating hard, and finally remembered! This scarface is Zang Jichen, the squadron leader of the Fan Field stronghold.
Last autumn, Sun Dadpa and his son went to Tangjian Street to sell fish, but were intercepted by the puppet army in the Fanchang stronghold, snatched the fish and injured his son, Zang Jichen pointed the muzzle of the pistol at his son and threatened: "Boy, move again, I'll let you taste peanuts!" ”
I thought about it, and finally remembered it, it was really Zang Jichen! It's just that there is an extra scar on his face this year, and I heard that Zang Jichen went to Da Li Zhuang to sweep, ran into the Eighth Route Army, was stabbed with a bayonet, and escaped with his life.
"Dog's day, dress up the Eighth Route Army! What did he want to do? Daddy Sun was nervous for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
At this time, Sun Ximou, president of the Qinzhuang Village Peasant Association, went to the river to fetch water to water the potato seedlings, and saw a group of Eighth Route Army on the boat and on the shore, and felt strange, and was about to ask Sun Dad's father what was going on, and the militia captain Qin Tongren also rushed to hear the news.
"May I ask which part of the Eighth Route Army are you?" Qin Tongren asked loudly.
Seeing Qin Tongren's interrogation, the crew on the boat became weak-hearted, pulled the bolt of the gun one by one, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the south bank.
Seeing this, Zang Jichen on the north bank shouted: "We are the second battalion and third company of the independent regiment, and we want to cross the river to carry out the mission!" Zang Jichen said as he pulled out his gun.
"Is Xu Shouquan, the commander of the third company, here?" Qin Tongren had long known the old classmate who was the commander of the third company, and asked loudly.
"Didn't come!" On the other side, seeing that Qin Tongren broke the casserole and asked to the end, it was difficult to hide his feelings, and he couldn't help but feel weak and panicked. One by one, they nervously lay on the river pile on the north bank, aiming their guns at Qin Tongren on the south bank.
Seeing that the two sides were drawing their bows, it would be too late if he didn't tell his nephew, so he didn't care about the danger to his life, and shouted at Sun Ximou: "Big nephew, this boat of people is all pretending to be puppet soldiers, and the shore is full of enemies in Fanchang stronghold!" ”
The puppet army on the "Woo Yao" boat revealed the true face of Lushan, and the guns were aimed at Qin Tongren and Sun Ximou and hooked the board machine.
The enemy's knowledge on the north bank of "Woo Woo" has been exposed, and they also shoot at the south bank.
Qin Tongren immediately lay on the embankment and fired back at the enemy, and said to Sun Ximou while fighting: "Go and call the militia!" ”
"Good!" Sun Ximou put down his burden, threw his legs and ran to the village, shouting as he ran: "The enemy is coming!" Hurry up and get on the big pile! ”
As soon as Daddy Sun shouted on the boat, exposing all the enemies, the squad leader of the puppet army was furious, stood up from the cabin, pointed the muzzle of the rifle at Daddy Sun's chest, and shouted angrily: "You old immortal, you have ruined our big business, I will destroy you with one shot!" ”
Daddy Sun had no fear on his face, patted his chest, laughed and said to the puppet army: "You are not afraid to feed the fish and shrimp, if you have the guts, shoot here." ”
The puppet soldiers all understood that the boat sailed to the middle of the river, where the water was deep and rapid, and it did not dock before and after, and there were few people who knew the water, and they also counted on Daddy Sun to hold the boat steady. Seeing that Daddy Sun did not give up, the puppet army squad leader turned the butt of the gun and smashed it at Daddy Sun, Daddy Sun dodged the butt, saw the enemy recklessly, and was in a hurry, and swept the penny in his hand, and the puppet squad leader did not stand firm, and fell into the river with a thud.
"Help! Help me! "The puppet army squad leader was struggling in the river while drinking water.
Daddy Sun sneered, and slammed on the bow of the boat with both feet, and the boat suddenly shook.
"Ahh The puppet soldiers saw that the ship was unstable, and their bodies leaned left and right with the boat, and they were terrified.
"Go down and feed the fish!" Daddy Sun's body was crooked, the boat suddenly capsized, and all the puppet troops fell into the water.
When Daddy Sun capsized on the boat, he plunged into the water, relying on his good water nature, and swam away to the south bank.
The puppet army in the river struggled desperately, and swam to the north bank of the water, shouting for help if they couldn't do the water, and as soon as the two "noses channeled" hit, they were dizzy and sank to the bottom of the water.
This is a trick carefully planned by Fan Naiji and Zang Jichen: the soldiers of the two strongholds of Fan Chang and Tangjian disguised themselves as the Eighth Route Army, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the unpreparedness and sneak attack on Qinzhuang, but they were unexpectedly recognized by an old man on the Chaimi River, and they wasted some scheming.
Zang Jichen was furious and ordered the soldiers to concentrate on shooting at the opposite bank. The grenadiers and machine guns were vented at the same time, and the dust and smoke of gunpowder flew on the south bank.
Qinzhuang urgently gathered more than 30 militiamen into battle, hated the same enemy, and resisted the enemy on the north bank, making it difficult for the enemy to move an inch.
Seeing that the surging river blocked the way of the attack, and that there were no boats to ferry, the enemy had to throw gas on the river embankment and throw more than a dozen shells in succession.
Zang Jichen and the Qinzhuang militia confronted each other across the river for more than three hours, and had no choice but to return to the Fanchang stronghold in despair.
Four
Tufeiyuan failed to "sweep" Qinzhuang, catching chickens and rice, killing and wounding many Japanese soldiers, Zhang Huanan also lay on the bed for more than a month, and was very anxious. Fan Naiji was self-defeating, the left crossing was raided, and he didn't even cross the river before going home.
Qinzhuang has become a heart disease for Tufeiyuan and Zhang Huanan.
Zang Jichen, the squadron leader of the Fanchang stronghold, colluded with Sun Buwei, the squadron leader of the Xutangwei stronghold, to avenge Zhang Huanan's sword revenge. This time, Zang Jichen did not send a single soldier from Tangjian and Fanchang, but instead borrowed more than 100 cavalry from Zhang Huanan, 150 soldiers from Zhangji stronghold, plus soldiers stationed in Machang and Xutangwei stronghold, a total of more than 600 people.
All kinds of soldiers and horses gathered in the horse factory and the Xutangwei stronghold, ready to move.
Zang Jichen dispatched troops and sent generals, and he was busy with Jiang Yaofu, the head of the Xu Tangwei stronghold, and he hurriedly said to the squadron leader Sun Buwei: "I was caught off guard, so I can't cope with so many mouths to eat and drink!" ”
Sun Buwei said: "You just make do with it." Two hundred mouths at noon and at night, and another meal at night. ”
Jiang Yao hurriedly said: "I said captain, the preparation is too hasty, and the manpower is too busy - can you give the horse factory a stronghold?" ”
"There are so many more people over there. You can figure it out for me! It's not guaranteed to be well fed, but make sure they are full! Sun Buwei patted Jiang Yaofu on the shoulder.
"There's another meal tomorrow morning, right?" The squad leader asked cautiously, adding so many mouths, he had to prepare early.
"Don't eat here, there's action at night. Eat in Qinzhuang tomorrow morning! Sun Buwei said without thinking.
"Alright then!" Jiang Yao replied.
Sun Buwei suddenly felt that he had slipped his mouth, and said impatiently: "Why are you asking so much?" Tell me to find a way to ensure the meal, and you will do it for me! ”
"Zhang San, Wang Si, Friday!" Jiang Yaofu shouted in the turret.
"What's the matter?" The puppet army who was gathering to gamble replied.
"You tow the car flat, follow me to the street to buy groceries!" Jiang Yao confessed.
"It's coming!" Several puppets reluctantly left the table.
Who is this Jiang Yaofu? It turned out that he was a member of Li Heng's National Liberation Vanguard, and the Japanese puppet army set up a stronghold in Xutangwei and Machang, and needed to recruit a man.
Since Machang Street and Xutangwei in the east of the street have set up two artillery towers, the puppet soldiers have the opportunity to go to the streets, extort, rob openly and secretly, molest women, do all kinds of evil, and the common people dare to be angry but dare not speak. If you offend them, you will be beaten and scolded at the least, and you will be imprisoned in the turret at the worst, and you will take advantage of the opportunity to collect money like kidnapping tickets. The original bustling Machang Market suddenly became cold, and there were fewer and fewer stalls on the street.
Outside, the cold wind was swishing, dripping into ice. Jiang Yaofu took a few puppet soldiers around Machang Street before he bought a bunch of yellow sprouts.
"Hey, squad leader, you're here to buy groceries!" Wang Dongqi, the owner of the tofu shop on East Street, greeted Jiang Yaofu.
"Oh, Boss Wang, this dish is hard to buy!" Jiang Yaofu showed a sad face.
"Squad leader, you want tofu to take from me." Boss Wang said politely.
"Okay, I want more than a dozen packs of tofu today!" Jiang Yaofu said.
"Ouch! So many people eat? Wang Dongqi felt strange.
Jiang Yaofu nodded, stopped talking, looked at the puppet army around him, and gave Boss Wang a look.
"The brothers went into the house to roast the fire and drink some hot water, and I took the squad leader to the backyard to see if the tofu was ready." Wang Dongqi knew it well and politely supported the puppet army.
"Old woman! The squad leader asked for more than a dozen packs of tofu, did he come down? Wang Dongqi took Jiang Yaofu and shouted loudly as he walked to the backyard.
Jiang Yao saw that there was no one in the backyard, so he hurriedly whispered to Wang Dongqi: "The enemy has gathered four or five hundred people in the Machang and Xu Tangwei strongholds, and plans to attack Qinzhuang after midnight. ”
"Good! I'll go now! Wang Dongqi deliberately said loudly again: "Hey, old woman! The squad leader didn't have enough tofu, so I went to someone else's house to see if there was one and borrowed a few packs. ”
After Wang Dongqi finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out, and Jiang Yaofu ordered the puppet soldiers to carry the tofu into the car.
"Hey, Boss Wang, I'll send the tofu when I borrow it, if I can't borrow it, forget it, I can't wait any longer." Jiang Yaofu said to Boss Wang, who was going out.
"Hao Luo!" Boss Wang couldn't delay, and said without looking back, this information is very important, and it must be reported to the Qinzhuang militia quickly.
After the enemy was stationed in Machang, underground party member Wang Dongqi set up a secret liaison station under the cover of opening a tofu shop. Later, when the Xutangwei stronghold was pulled, the two of them worked together to oppose the puppet army and surrender to Cheng, and made great contributions. That's an afterword.
Five
Qinzhuang Village learned that the Japanese puppet army was coming to attack again, and the cadres immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss and study countermeasures.
Qin Zhuokang, the head of the township, said: "The enemy is always unwilling to fail, and he has to come to Zhujiazhuang with three dozen dozens!" The soldiers will block, and the water will come to the earth. I suggest that the cadres divide the labor and lead the militia to hold the polder! Zhang Yangcai, the chairman of the township farmers, and I led a team to guard Songzhuang and You Weizi; Qin Tongren, the captain of the village militia, and Qin Zhaosheng, Qin Yantao and Qin Zicai, the organizing committee, are in charge of Qinzhuang; Sun Ximou, chairman of the village farmer, and Pan Chaoyou, vice president, led the team to guard Sun Wei. At the same time, Qin Liyi was sent to Lotus Chizhuang to report to the independent regiment and asked the head of Lu Zhenzhong to send troops to support. ”
Qin Tongren took it and said, "Fortunately, our fortifications, bunkers, trenches, bunkers and watchtowers have been strengthened and repaired. Now is not what it used to be, not afraid of the enemy coming again! ”
"Lift a few of our broom cannons to the polder, his stuff is nothing compared to the enemy's grenadiers!" Qin Zhaosheng lost no time in interjecting and said.
Sun Ximou saw Qin Zicai silently smoking dry tobacco at the venue, and had been silent, so he said to him: "Uncle Qin, you are the oldest and the most experienced, you can talk about it!" ”
"Oh!" Qin Zicai snorted.
Qin Zi is the oldest and respected old man in Qinzhuang, with a resolute personality and good at thinking with his brain, just now he did not say anything about the arrangement of the meeting, but fell into contemplation.
Qinzhuang, located on the bank of the Chaimi River, has fertile land, rich and rich, and has many large and solid families since ancient times, causing bandits in Tangjian, Guantian, Zhangji and Machang to covet. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, during the Guangxu period, a stream of bandits flowed in, when the wheat was opened, they dressed up as people who gleaned into ears of wheat to beg for famine, and suddenly launched an attack, Qin Zicai led the people to resist bravely, not only kept their homes from invasion, but also used a broom cannon to kill a bandit leader and wound three bandits, and the bandits retreated and dispersed. Qin Zicai became a hero of the Qin clan and became famous. Gao Zhensheng of Shuyang Zhixian County also awarded Qinzhuang the plaque of "Iron Wall and Copper Wall, United as One" to commend his achievements in resisting the enemy and bandits.
Qin Zicai saw Sun Ximou reminding him, he finished the last puff of cigarette, kowtowed the head of the cigarette pouch, raised his head and said to everyone: "The men in Qinzhuang are all men who are not afraid of death!" There is no doubt that everyone is a hero when they start fighting. However, the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children in Qinzhuang should be transferred out, and some relatives should join relatives and friends, and evacuate as soon as possible to avoid casualties when they get it. Any man who can participate in the war, none of them can leave, and they must die on their own one-third of an acre of land! ”
"Uncle Qin is right, each Zhuangzi will be evacuated in the evening, and the action must be fast!" Qin Zhuokang, the head of the township, said.
"There is another problem, the enemy came this time to attack by night. He came secretly, and we didn't know how to fight! Make the enemy scratch their heads and feet! Qin Tongren also interjected.
Six
In the early morning, the banks of the Chaimi River were filled with winter mist, and a Japanese puppet army team quietly approached the head of Qinzhuang Village, Zang Jichen divided the soldiers into three routes, the southern route was led by him to attack Qinzhuang, the eastern route was led by Sun Buwei to surround Sun Wei on the embankment, and the western route was Si Damao to deal with Songzhuang.
In order to avoid the sentry and prevent early exposure, Zang Jichen marched from the side of the chaitang instead, using the cover of Luchai to get closer to Qinzhuang.
"Ahh One of the puppet soldiers screamed and fell into the deep trench dug by the militia, and the water of the trench more than one person deep flooded the top of the puppet army's head, and the big cap floated on the water. When the other puppet soldiers saw it, they hurriedly pulled up the drenched soldier who was drenched in the water, only to see that he was embarrassed and shivered all over his body.
"Go around from the north side of Chai Tang!" Zang Jichen ordered.
"Ahh There was another scream, and a puppet soldier stepped into the air with both feet and fell into a pit, with the same result as the previous puppet soldier.
"Wow!" A scream was heard again, and a puppet soldier was caught in one foot by an iron clamp that caught a weasel, and he bared his teeth and screamed in pain.
"Fuck, so many bear things!" Zang Jichen scolded uneasily. As soon as the words fell, I saw a large net more than ten meters long pulled by the chaitang, blocking the front of the puppet army.
"Cut the nets!" Zang Jichen shouted.
The puppet soldiers drew their sabers and slashed at the fishing net, but unexpectedly, with a "boom", the grenade hanging on the fishing net was shaken and exploded, and immediately shrapnel flew indiscriminately and blood splattered in all directions. Two puppet soldiers were killed in the bombing, and four puppet soldiers were injured by the bombing, and they fell into the pond and screamed.
With the explosion of the grenade, the gunfire of the Qinzhuang militia against the invasion rang out.
The puppet army who wanted to take a shortcut and sneak attack was in chaos, some ran forward, some retreated, and some got into Luchaidang.
"Fire!" Zang Jichen raised his gun and ordered.
The machine guns frantically strafed Qinzhuang, and from the mist, it could be seen that the puppet army charged from the east and south, trying to capture Qinzhuang.
"Hit!" Qin Tongren fired a shot at a puppet army in front of the team, and the puppet army fell in response.
At this time, there were rows of guns from the polder walls on all sides of Qinzhuang, on the watchtowers, in the dark forts, and in the trenches to intercept the enemy's approach.
The sharpshooter militia Qin Xingzhi, Qin Xingyou, Qin Xun, Qin Yinkang, Ji Like and others showed their skills, aiming at the charging puppet army with one shot, one shot at a time, and the enemy fled in confusion, and corpses were everywhere.
Zang Jichen supervised the formation, kicked the puppet army's butt and drove forward, but the puppet army was frightened by the Qinzhuang militia sharpshooter, and they lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads.
"Machine gun cover! Whoever does not rush forward, comes back to engage in military law! "Zang Jichen is extremely vicious and is making the last bet.
Qin Zicai lit the broom cannon fuse with paper cotton with his own hands.
"Boom" shook the world.
The earth cannon exerted great power, the rain of bullets roared, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, making the puppet soldiers scream, all hugging their heads and running around, trembling and frightened.
Zang Jichen was also hit by a projectile in the face, causing him to scream in pain.
In the battle of Qinzhuang, Zang Jichen and they ended in defeat again.
Seven
At the same time as the gunfire rang out in Qinzhuang, Sun Wei was also surrounded by the enemy, and Sun Buwei, the leader of the puppet army, commanded the puppet army, shouting and rushing towards the polder wall from all directions.
Sun Ximou, chairman of the agricultural council, and Pan Chaoyou, vice chairman of the agricultural committee, had already set up a position, and when the puppet army rushed closer, dozens of guns opened fire together, causing the enemy to lose his armor and be defeated.
Sun Buwei launched one charge after another, and in addition to adding a large number of dead and wounded soldiers, he could not get a step closer to the polder wall. There were bursts of gunfire in Qinzhuang, and Sun Buwei thought that Zang Jichen might have attacked it, and he was still wandering outside the polder, and he couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks, and he was very anxious.
He walked around the polder, and saw a pond behind the polder connected to the polder, with a thick layer of ice on it. The militia was concentrating their firepower on three sides of the enemy, but neglected to defend the village. Sun Buwei took it upon himself and ordered the puppet army to climb from the pond ice into the polder and quietly approach the polder wall.
Militiaman Sun Hongxiang discovered the enemy's attempt from the watchhole of the watchtower, he sneered, aimed at a puppet soldier who looked like an official on the side of the polder, and shot "dang" on the ground, and the other party fell in response.
This officer was Hu Jihou, the deputy of the squadron, and when the puppet soldiers saw that the officer was dead, they panicked and fell down one after another to hide. Sun Hongxiang was condescending and could see clearly, aiming at the puppet army on the ice with two shots, the puppet soldiers couldn't hold their breath, and fled backwards one by one, panicking, the soles of their feet slipped, and four or five puppet soldiers were knocked down on the ice at the same time.
The militia who was shooting head-on turned around and saw that there were seven or eight puppet soldiers on the ice of the polder ditch who wanted to climb the polder wall, but they were beaten up by Sun Hongxiang. Sun Hongyun and Sun Honggao were in a hurry, pulled out two grenades and threw them over.
With a "boom", the ice layer of the polder ditch was blown open, the ice water and flesh flew into the sky, and the dead and wounded puppet troops all fell into the water, cutting off the enemy's way to attack from the ice.
Hu Jihou, deputy of the puppet army squadron, was killed, and Sun Buwei felt miserable in his heart, and he couldn't bear to discard Hu Jihou's body, so he urgently ordered the puppet army to rush over and grab the body. Sun Hongxiang and Sun Honggao's two rifles shot in a burst, and the puppet army killed and injured three others, so frightened that the other puppet soldiers did not dare to step forward again, so they had to throw down Hu Jihou's body and flee back in embarrassment.
Housongzhuang, southwest of Qinzhuang, was also surrounded by the enemy, and the township mayor Qin Zhuokang and the township peasant chairman Zhang Yangcai led more than a dozen militiamen to stubbornly hold on and repelled several charges from the puppet army.
"Give me a cannon and let the people in the village taste it!" Da Mao, deputy director of the Xutangwei stronghold squadron, ordered the use of grenadiers. This grenadier is a new weapon that Zang Jichen borrowed from the devil. He triumphantly watched as the puppet army set up grenadiers and tinkered with drums, but unexpectedly they couldn't launch the shells, and the puppet army's temporary grenadiers were sweating profusely and were in a hurry.
"Stupid! I didn't learn it for two days! Si Damao was so angry that he scolded.
Qin Zhuokang saw the puppet army set up a grenadier from a distance, and hurriedly shouted to everyone: "The enemy is about to open fire, quickly hide!" ”
The militiamen quickly withdrew the polder wall, entered the trench to hide, and waited for a long time, but did not see the enemy shells flying over, Zhang Yang stood up: "What's the matter? ”
Qin Zhuokang and Zhang Yangcai returned to the polder wall, and from the gun's eye, it could be seen that the leader of the puppet army was standing next to the grenadier and was furious.
Qin Zhuokang picked up his rifle and aimed at the grenadier: "Boy, if you don't shoot, I'm going to hit you!" Qin Zhuokang said as he pulled the board machine with his hand.
With a "bang", the bullet hit the grenadier, and the puppet army fell.
Si Damao and another grenadier hurriedly hid on the edge of the ditch, and the militia You Xinwen looked carefully at the watchtower in the northwest corner, so he scolded: "Dog! See where you can hide! "You Xinwen shot at the puppet army grenadier.
As soon as the substitute loader raised the shell, he was hit in the left arm by the bullet fired by You Xinwen, and the shell fell to the ground, which frightened Si Damao and fell to the ground with his head in his hands.
The puppet army finally fired the first shot, and the cannonball fell in the firewood pond in front of the village, and the waves were one foot high, and the grenadiers hurriedly adjusted the distance of the ruler.
"Aim at the watchtower and shoot at me!" Si Da Mao ordered the grenadiers.
"Boom" This shell hit the watchtower where You Xinwen was, the watchtower collapsed and overturned, You Xinwen and You Xintan died heroically, Yang Rulou was seriously injured in the head, and he struggled to crawl out of the rubble.
"Don't shoot, light the broomstick!" Qin Zicai saw that our side was killed and injured twice, and his eyes immediately turned red.
The watchtower was blown down, the gunfire that blocked the attack also disappeared, and the puppet soldiers thought that there was no longer the strength to fight back in the polder, and they came up in groups of screams.
"It's just in time, let you all go to the western sky!" Qin Zicai watched the fuse burn to the end and roared.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang that was deafening, and the muzzle iron sand projectiles were thrown like chaff in a dustpan, sweeping towards the enemy like a hurricane, causing the puppet soldiers to cry wolf howls and countless casualties.
The enemy soldiers attacked Qinzhuang in three ways, but until the sun shook the west, nothing was achieved, and defeat was a foregone conclusion. Si Damao had no intention of fighting, and saw that the besiegers of Qinzhuang and Sunwei had begun to retreat, so he had to order the puppet army to carry the wounded soldiers, carry the corpses with horses, and flee from Qinzhuang in disgrace.
When Tu Feiyuan heard the news, he sighed: A small Qinzhuang can't be taken down three times, is it iron or copper?
Since then, there has been a saying that "iron beats Qinzhuang and copper beats soldiers", and the enemy does not dare to commit Qinzhuang again.
