To the east is the central Hebei region, which has a particularly good mass base and has militia organizations in every county and district.
Every time they went to an area, someone would come to help them, which proved that their superiors attached great importance to this operation, but Xiao Wuzi still felt that something was wrong.
This officer, Sister Li, is really a political worker. Every time she goes to a place, if local cadres come to greet her, she will encourage them and praise them, making these people excited.
Everywhere she went, she was like a high-ranking official from the central government who came down to inspect. Although there was nothing wrong with her speech and it was really good, Xiao Wuzi was getting more and more frustrated.
If this continues, this task will not be delayed? This is an area where the enemy and ourselves are intertwined. Although there are these militia organizations, who can guarantee that there are no spies or traitors?
With Sidezi's cleverness, he could see Xiaowuzi's worries at a glance. The two briefly communicated in their free time, but there was no better way. After all, Sister Li was the commander.
However, both of them told Erniu and Yu Hai to pay more attention and have a sense of crisis.
When they were about to arrive at Baiyangdian, they encountered the county brigade here who was extracting a Japanese stronghold.
Originally, these people came in the middle of the night, planning to conduct a night attack and take down the Japanese artillery towers.
But somehow he escaped and was discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops. Instead of a sneak attack, they launched a hard attack.
When Xiaowuzi and the others arrived, they were already at three o'clock in the morning, but they still didn't get down.
If you were a good commander, you might give up this hard attack because the gains outweigh the losses.
But the captain of this county brigade is a very stubborn person. He has the determination to chew off this hard bone even if his teeth are broken.
But the casualties were already considerable, and he was now in a difficult position.
When Sister Li came here, she heard from the district cadres here that these people were attacking the stronghold. She just rushed over with Xiaowuzi and the others, saying that she wanted to help.
Xiaowuzi went to the scene and saw that there were about a hundred people in the county brigade, but there were not many guns. It was said that half of them had guns. Now they are surrounded about 500 meters away from the stronghold, making it impossible to get closer. Occasionally, a shot would be fired into the turret, which contained machine guns, and occasionally a burst of bullets would be fired, making the surrounding area smoke.
They were about to attack, but they were beaten back. They had lost more than ten people.
Xiao Wuzi finally saw the captain of the county brigade. He was a man in his mid-thirties with a beard and slender eyes. At first glance, he seemed to be the kind of person with a very upright idea. This kind of person generally would not listen to advice. of.
Sister Li didn't know how to fight, but she trusted the captain, so she said to him: "I have a few good soldiers here, all carefully selected by the headquarters. See if you can use them. I'll give them to you. ”
The captain of the brigade was also named Li. I heard that the eldest sister of the family was sent to inspect by the superiors. This gave a few new troops. I was very moved and said: "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the leader. I will fight my life to win this today." stronghold."
Xiaowuzi asked Captain Li: "How did you attack the front before?"
The team leader said that they loaded a sack filled with sand onto a wheelbarrow, put two watered quilts on top, and pushed it there. This thing can block bullets, but after people passed by, before they could find a foothold, they were shot by a machine gun as soon as they nodded.
Xiaowuzi asked again if there were any unicycles? Captain Lao Li said there was another one, so Xiaowuzi said to him, let's give it a try and ask Erniu and Sidezi to take care of them. The county brigade borrowed two 38-meter lids, and then leaned as far forward as possible. It was almost four hundred. At the position of 3 meters, a bunker was arranged and guns were set up to provide cover for Xiao Wuzi and Yu Hai.
Although it was difficult to hit accurately at this distance, Xiao Wuzi believed in the marksmanship of these two buddies. Especially Sidezi. If he had a good gun, he would definitely be able to put bullets into the shooting holes of the turret.
Xiao Wuzi and Yu Hai checked their submachine guns and grenades, and then pushed the earth tank forward. Not to mention, the sound of machine guns rang out in the turret. Xiao Wuzi and Yu Hai just felt it. The car vibrated a little, and the heavy machine gun bullets that could hit very far were blocked by the sand bag.
Then two crisp clicks were heard, and the machine gun misfired.
The two of them, Xiaowuzi, took this opportunity to move forward quickly and move some distance.
Then the gunfire of the rifle came from the turret again. After two more gunshots, the rifle also stopped firing.
Xiao Wuzi and Yu Hai moved forward quickly again.
After repeating this several times, Xiao Wuzi and Yu Hai finally got close to the place thirty or forty meters away from the gun tower. The angle they chose was very tricky, and it was the relative blind spot of several machine gun firing ports.
Yu Hai put a shovel in the car when he came. They stopped the car and huddled behind the car without daring to show their heads, because although it was a relatively blind spot, such a close distance was too dangerous. If we were able to catch them, how else would the team members who rushed forward have died?
But fortunately, the gunfire covering them never stopped, and the guns were all fired into the shooting ports. It was unknown how many enemies were killed or injured.
It turned out that not only Xiaowuzi and the others were moving forward, but Erniu and Sidezi were also moving forward while fighting. At this time, they were already within 300 meters. For them, this distance was enough to hit someone. The gun tower The machine guns and rifles inside were beaten so hard that they dared not show their heads.
Yu Hai dug a hole on the spot with a shovel and piled the soil to the front. There was a place to stay. The angle was a bit off. Xiaowuzi was not sure about throwing the grenade in because the shooting port was large on the outside and small on the inside. of.
So Xiao Wuzi turned the cart sideways again, blocked it in front of him, and pulled the wheel with his hands to walk sideways little by little, walking very slowly.
The Japs in the artillery tower saw this, took out a grenade, and pointed it at Xiao Wuzi's side, intending to blast him away.
As soon as the little devil showed his head, he was shot, and he fell headlong.
At this time, Xiaowuzi had already moved into position. He took out two American grenades, pulled out the pin, took aim, and threw them out with a whoosh. Before the first one was in place, the second one also followed with a whoosh. Throw it out.
This was Xiao Wuzi's advantage. He threw the grenades accurately, and both grenades flew into the gun tower accurately.
The kid inside saw the grenade flying in before his eyes, and he quickly reacted and fell down. Another kid was planning to pick it up and throw it out, but the moment he picked up the grenade from the ground, "Boom!" A grenade exploded in his hand. The pre-films of the grenade flew everywhere, knocking down all the people on this floor. Then, there was a second explosion, and no one on this floor was alive. Made a sound.
And over there, Yu Hai took advantage of these two explosions to jump out of the pit, picked up his submachine gun, click, click, click, sealed the two shooting ports on the lower floor, and charged while firing.
There were enemies on the lower level as well. Just when they were about to show up and shoot, they were pushed back by the firepower of Xiao Wuzi and Yu Hai's submachine guns.
Yu Hai finally rushed to the absolute blind spot. He took out the grenade, pulled out the pin, let go of the compression spring, paused for two seconds, and then threw the grenade into the lower firing port. This guy's courage is not ordinary.
Then there were two more booms, and there was no movement from the lower level.
After all, Captain Li is a commander with combat experience, so of course he can tell where the fire is coming from.
After he heard the last two explosions, he waved his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the Japanese gun tower. His county brigade members also swarmed up and rushed over from all directions.
While Xiaowuzi and the others were risking their lives to attack the artillery tower, a carriage entered Beiping City.
We stopped at the entrance of an alley in Dengshikou, Dongcheng City, and a young man and woman got out of the car. The man was wearing a robe and glasses, and he looked like a cultured person at first glance. The woman was wearing a cheongsam and a coat, but she couldn't hide her beauty. figure.
Just as they walked into the alley carrying their suitcases, several people dressed as students passed by. They were two men and three women. They were talking and laughing as they walked forward.
Among them was a female student wearing a headscarf. Although she was very tightly wrapped, the way the two boys looked at him showed that she was a beautiful girl.
She glanced at the backs of the two people walking into the alley, looking thoughtful, but she was still surrounded by her classmates and left.
It was an unexpected encounter, but it was just missed.
Jin Liang didn't know, and neither did his cousin.
Bai Xue also ran away from home and came out under the influence of her cousin.
Originally, after Xiaowuzi and the others left, someone from the uncle's family came to ask if the eldest young master was here.
The Bai family said they haven't been here since the Chinese New Year.
Then, the Bai family knew that Young Master Jin had run away and didn't know where he went.
Only Bai Jiuye and Bai Xue roughly guessed where Jin Liang had gone. He had been hanging out with Xiao Wu and the others every day a while ago, so he must have entered the detention center with him.
Originally, this matter was over, but a while ago Mr. Liu, an in-law of the Jin family, sent someone to ask if the eldest young master was back?
Only then did the Bai family know that Jin Liang was injured and came back. Judging from the situation, he ran away again. No need to ask where he went, he must have gone to find Xiao Wuzi again.
The little girl was also moved. Since her cousin could escape, why couldn't she?
She also wanted to go outside and take a look. The most important thing was that she also wanted to find Xiao Wuzi.
So she found a good classmate. That classmate's family had property in Peiping. The little girl said she wanted to go to Peking to visit. The classmate readily accepted the offer and led her to sneak out of the house quietly and walked all the way to the capital. .
She is a classmate with progressive ideas, and knows that many young students are yearning for a place, which is the holy land in their hearts, Yan'an.
So they contacted a few more people and planned to go on a pilgrimage to Yan'an together.
No, I packed my bags and just set off.
They headed west, and when they were almost in the mountains, someone came to pick them up and brought these young students to an eldest sister.
The eldest sister asked them: "Are you all going to Yan'an? The living conditions there are not very good! I'm afraid you guys with delicate skin and tender flesh cannot bear this suffering."
As he spoke, he looked at the most beautiful girl here.
Unexpectedly, the girl said: "We have been prepared to endure hardships since we came out of home. What we say now are all empty words. Look at our actual actions." These words were so real that Sister Lin was very surprised.
