The battle was won, the Japs' artillery tower was taken away, and a detachment of Japs inside, a squad of puppet troops, and more than 20 people were all wiped out.
In fact, the Japs sent out signal flares as soon as they attacked, but this place was far away from the county seat, and the only one who could receive the signal was another stronghold more than ten miles away.
Fortunately, most of the Japanese soldiers had gone out to sweep, and there were not many people in the stronghold. They received the signal, but their phone lines were cut off and they could not report to their superiors.
I sent two people out to test it out, but were frightened back by two shots fired by the militiamen from the district team.
Therefore, this battle was fought as a result of defeat first and victory later. Even the slightest difference would result in defeat.
What made Captain Li happy was that the machine gun was not damaged by the explosion and could still be used after simple treatment.
There were more than 20 guns, and more than ten were damaged, which made Lao Li very distressed.
Little Wuzi didn't expect that this American grenade was so powerful and much easier to use than the little devil's grenade.
Lao Li focused on these young men again. These soldiers were so good that they all had a good physique.
All the guns fired so accurately, two 38-guns actually suppressed the machine guns in the turret.
Especially that little boy, who was bold, careful, and extremely accurate when throwing grenades.
Lao Li shamelessly said to Sister Li: "My eldest sister, where did these soldiers come from? Can you give me two evenly? I can switch with you in the same class to ensure that you have a smooth journey."
A smile appeared on Sister Li's serious face, and she said to him: "What good things are you thinking of? These are all students from the Anti-Japanese University. After graduation, the youngest will be a platoon leader. How do you change it? Unless you let out the county captain. .”
As soon as Lao Li heard about the Anti-Japanese University students, he knew there was no chance. That was a place for training cadres.
Sister Li was the leader after all, so she said goodbye to Lao Li with a wave of her hand without further ado, and led them on their way.
The team arrived at Baiyangdian and received a warm welcome again. However, this time Sister Li also knew that the time was limited, so she did not say anything. She stored the carriage here and asked the Yanling team from Baiyangdian to take out two boats. They took the boat down the river. This is much faster than traveling by land, but it is also more dangerous.
There are motorboats patrolling the river on this waterway, and it is a troublesome thing for little devils to encounter them.
The comrades of the Yanling team asked them if they knew how to swim. They had to get into the water at the critical moment. Xiaowuzi knows how to swim, and Erniu, a child who grew up by the sea, will definitely know how to swim. However, Yu Hai and Sidezi were landlubbers and had never learned anything.
Two young men from the Yanling team said: "Don't be afraid, there are our people along the way. If there is danger, someone will send the signal in advance."
Fortunately, the journey was really calm and we did not encounter any Japanese patrol boats.
They landed in Jinghai County. Sister Li thanked the comrades of the Yanling Team and allowed them to return the same way. Then she took Xiaowuzi and the others into Jinghai County.
This is the South Canal, an important transportation thoroughfare. Both sides of the canal are busy with traffic and very lively.
When they arrived at a private courtyard, Sister Li knocked on the door and gave the code, and the people inside let them in.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, looking like a business veteran. But he was very alert. He obviously knew Sister Li, but he looked at Xiao Wuzi and the others with suspicion.
Sister Li said: "These are all soldiers sent to escort us from above. They are all good soldiers."
The man felt relieved and sat down in the house. The man said: "Two of us have already arrived and are staying in the hotel. There are three more who should arrive today. Should we send them here first? They are still in Tianjin city. It’s not safe. Do you need me to follow you?”
Sister Li said: "You don't need to go, you can just meet me at home and arrange transportation back."
When night fell, they arrived in Tianjin city.
This was the former British concession. Last year, when Britain declared war with Japan, the concession was occupied by the Japanese. This year, it is said that it was handed over to the Nanjing government of Wang Zhaoming.
In a hotel on Edinburgh Road, Xiaowuzi and others met the person they wanted to escort.
An old gentleman in his sixties, with a long beard and a long robe, he looked like a man of university education, and every move he made showed his calmness and ease.
A young man, Da Bin, twenty-six or seven years old, wore an old suit, glasses, and a fair face. At first glance, he seemed to be a pen-player, but Xiao Wuzi could tell from his body shape. Something different.
The third person also came, she was a foreign woman, she must be very young, and she wore a long windbreaker that didn't cover her explosive figure.
There were two more people who should have arrived but didn't. Xiaowuzi and others couldn't help but be more vigilant.
The old gentleman's surname is Sun, and they all call him Mr. Sun. The young man's surname is Hong. He and the foreign girl named Susan are both reporters.
No matter how Xiaowuzi looked at reporter Hong, he felt familiar, but after thinking about it, he had never seen this person named Hong, so where did this feeling come from?
At this time, a fourth person also came. She was a woman, a fashionable woman with a perm, wearing a cheongsam and a coat outside.
Xiaowuzi smelled a trace of dust on him.
Mr. Sun asked: "Where is Lao Gu? Why haven't you arrived yet? Didn't you say that the ship has arrived a long time ago? It's not that far from Tanggu to here?"
The woman said: "I don't know, maybe something has delayed me. Don't worry, let's wait for him, shall we?"
Xiaowuzi quietly pulled Sister Li's clothes, called her outside and said to her: "Sister, you can't wait here, it's too dangerous. Why don't Erniu and the others escort these people away first?" How about I protect you and wait for that person here?"
Sister Li is not stupid, and she also knows that waiting like this is not a good thing, so she asked Er Niu, Yu Hai, and Sidezi to protect Mr. Sun, while Reporter Hong and the foreign woman left first.
She, Xiao Wuzi, and the cheongsam woman were waiting here, because the cheongsam woman was very familiar with Mr. Gu.
Who would have known that the woman did not flirt with Sister Li, but acted coquettishly with Mr. Sun, meaning that she wanted him to wait a little longer, saying that it would be bad not to take care of Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun hesitated a little. Just when he was about to beg Sister Li to wait a little longer, Xiao Wuzi spoke: "Sir, our responsibility is to protect your safety. This city is too dangerous. If anything happens, we will talk about it when we leave the city."
After that, he winked at Erniu, and Erniu and the others almost dragged them away by force.
Xiao Wuzi took out his submachine gun from the sack at his feet and walked to the door. He felt that something was wrong with this woman.
The woman looked a little disappointed when she saw Mr. Sun and the others leaving. Then she muttered something in front of Sister Li, her eyes looking outside from time to time.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Sister Li knew she could wait no longer. She stood up and said to Xiao Wuzi, "No more, let's go."
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, the sounds of many people running.
The woman grabbed Sister Li's wrist and said, "We can't leave Mr. Gu here alone. What will happen to him if we leave?"
"Bang!" A bullet penetrated the woman's eyebrow, knocking her head back.
But her hand was still holding Sister Li's wrist. When she fell, she also pulled Sister Li down.
Sister Li was blinded. Although her eyesight was not good, she knew it was Xiao Wuzi who fired the gun. When she fell, her glasses fell to the ground and broke. She touched her glasses on the ground with her hands and asked: "Xiao Wuzi, was it you who fired the gun? Why did you kill her?"
Xiao Wuzi killed the woman with one shot, turned back and pointed the gun at the door and said: "The enemy is coming, we are surrounded here. This woman is giving the enemy time. She must have rebelled."
Sister Li had already touched her broken glasses. She couldn't see clearly when she put them on because both lenses were cracked. Sister Li also touched the blood on her hand.
At this time, the people outside had almost reached the door. When they heard the gunshots inside, they stopped moving and found a concealed place to hide.
Xiaowuzi raised his hand and shot two "bang bang" shots to break the light bulb in the hotel foyer because he had no time to find the switch.
Xiao Wuzi didn't use continuous fire because it cost too much bullets. This foreign submachine gun was also very accurate with a single shot, which surprised Xiao Wuzi.
Now it was brighter outside than inside the house, because there were street lights outside. Someone couldn't help but moved forward, and then everyone saw a ray of fire accurately connected to his head. The man was beaten so hard that he fell down.
Xiaowuzi felt that these people were not Japanese, but should be members of the police system of the Wang Puppet Government.
Sister Li came over, approached Xiao Wuzi, and asked Xiao Wuzi for a grenade.
Xiao Wuzi picked an American grenade for him while observing outside.
Sister Li said: "This is for suicide. Xiaowuzi, if I am captured by the enemy, you must shoot me to death as soon as possible."
Although Xiao Wuzi's attention was outside, he still looked back at her after hearing this.
Finding that in the darkness, Sister Li's tone was unusually sure. She added: "I'm afraid I won't have time to fire the grenade. I asked you to kill me right away because I have many secrets in my mind. I can't guarantee that I can endure it after being captured." Live under torture, do you understand?”
Xiaowuzi understands that although this eldest sister has some rigid dogma in speaking and doing things. But the spirit of daring to sacrifice at critical moments still deeply moved Xiao Wuzi.
Xiaowuzi said: "Don't worry, big sister, as long as I'm here, you'll be here. At worst, we'll fight with them together."
Xiaowuzi quickly went through the general terrain of this street and road in his mind. This is also his advantage. No matter where he goes, he will be familiar with the environment immediately.
People outside also fired, and there were constant "bang bang bang bang" gunshots, but they were all blind shots. If Da Bao could put the bullet into the door, he would win.
Xiao Wuzi took out the grenade and threw it towards the place where the gunshots were the densest. He also let go of the compression spring and waited for more than a second before throwing it out. Because the distance was not too far, Xiao Wuzi was really afraid that they would pick it up and throw it back. .
"Boom!" The grenade exploded, overturning the group of people.
Xiao Wuzi pulled Sister Li and rushed out of the door in the darkness without making a loud sound.
The two people bent their waists and moved quickly sideways against the wall.
At this time, those who had not been bombed still raised their guns and fired at the door, and the gunfire rang out again.
