The bandits on the plains are different from the many green forest heroes who claim to rob the rich and help the poor. They kidnap, extort and engage in prostitution with women. In the hearts of the people, these people should all be shot!
The Eighth Route Army united all anti-Japanese forces.
The decision to launch an attack on the bandits was a complete surprise to many.
The Eighth Route Army, which was short of food, could not afford to reform the bandits who had surrendered to the enemy. Moreover, bandits were vicious and difficult to reform, so it was almost impossible to transform them into the Eighth Route Army!
It is not easy to find out whether the captured bandits are guilty of serious crimes!
The south side of the county is in darkness.
The three student security posts that were taken over by the Fourth Route Army did not return to the team. Needless to say, those three troublemakers must have entered the county seat.
Wang Liujin was a little worried about the safety of these three people.
Righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control soldiers.
When the enemy engineering department of the Fourth Route Army came to verify the situation, he just replied lightly that he understood.
The team assembles.
As the commander-in-chief of the commando team, Wang Liujin followed the pre-war mobilization.
The battle plan no longer needs to be assigned, it can be given with one order.
Go to the three gates in the north, southeast and the five districts to start first.
Then the first division and armed work teams moved towards the south wall of the county.
The heavy machine gun troops guarding the west gate set off quietly.
Wang Liujin suddenly grabbed Xiao Hongying who was walking behind the team and lowered his voice: "Honestly, can Luo Fugui and the others complete the mission?"
Xiao Hongying answered smoothly: "It shouldn't be a big problem. He was a bandit before. There will definitely be no problem in touching Wang Taigong's lair."
"But, they don't know our specific plans."
"What kind of plan will Ma Liang make? Do you think Luo Fugui will know about it?"
"You mean you have already discussed this?"
Xiao Hongying nodded: "Have confidence in your comrades!"
"Don't forget the important supplies requested by your superiors!"
"Don't worry, it's just some radio batteries and medicines. Although our Eighth Route Army can't take action against businessmen who are trying to make money for the country, as for the county seat being robbed by defeated bandits, what does it have to do with us?"
Wang Liujin nodded: "Okay, I have to take the artillery crew to the front to set up the position. Later I will go to the Western Wall City to direct the battle. After you have set up, remember to use the flashlight to signal me."
"What a verbose person!" Xiao Hongying saluted, turned around and trotted to catch up with the heavy machine gun trainees of the Ninth Battalion that had moved west.
The Eighth Route Army in the mountains was short of supplies, especially batteries for radio stations and medicines when the troops were active outside.
This time we attacked the county town, one reason was that the superiors used the training to test the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the other reason was to suppress the bandits and seize materials.
The two ambush teams of Big Dog and Madman Yang, carrying rifles and hanging submachine guns on their chests, took advantage of the darkness and approached the west gate of the county.
Five miles outside the west gate.
A shallow ditch.
Hu Yi leaned against the ditch and looked at the fire burning through the darkness on the distant city wall in trance.
Xiao Hongying next to her bumped the dazed Hu Yi with her arm, "Fox, except for the peripheral troops, there is only one company that actually participated in the assault on the county town. Do you really think Ma Liang's plan can work?"
Hu Yi turned around: "No matter how many bandits there are, they are just a mob. They have no command system at all, and they will blame each other when encountering difficulties. From Jin Scaran to Qi Lao bandit, and looking at Wang Taigong and his son, they actually do not have complete control over their bandits." The soldiers only need Li Xiang and ten thousand thin mortars, and the bandits will definitely swarm into chaos."
"Why don't you try for such a lively thing?"
There will be sacrifices in battle. Hu Yi looked at the darkness and shook his head: "Don't underestimate the bandits. Many of them come from the defeated national army."
"Then do you want to go over and set up a machine gun position first?"
"Don't worry, Big Dog and Madman Yang set up an ambush on the road outside the west gate, and the county city gate has long been closed. When the city was in chaos, the bandits guarding the city would not open the city gate at all, and the bandit soldiers in the city would not open the city gate at all. There is no way out of the city."
"Hey, it's really interesting to shoot dogs behind closed doors. The bandits locked themselves up in the city and let us shoot targets."
Hu Yi was silent for a while: "Although the bandits in the city are all evil-doers, they are also Chinese after all."
"Those who surrender to the Japanese and still harm the people should die. That's not right. I don't think you have ever cared about the life or death of your enemies before."
The raid point chosen by the armed task force was a coincidence. It was almost the same place chosen by Luo Fugui and Li Huanzhang.
The slight difference is that the armed working team conducted more careful reconnaissance work and knew that there were bandits guarding the gap. Opening the gap repaired with wooden door panels could easily cause movement, which was not conducive to an assault.
The bandit patrol slowly passed by.
A rope hook wrapped in black cloth flew from the darkness to the city wall.
There were still shouts in the county town at midnight, completely covering up the sound of the rope hook falling to the ground.
Following the team members who climbed up the city wall to check the sentinels, they hung nervously in the darkness outside the city wall, looking around for a long time.
That's not right. Where is the bandit's observation post?
I couldn't care less, so I climbed up the city wall and pulled the rope.
Pulled up a large three-claw hook tied with a rope.
Soon, figures climbed up one by one.
An armed work team of more than ten people immediately formed a team and began patrolling the city wall.
Hearing the footsteps, the bandit soldiers in the room above the city tower immediately ran out to see what was going on. They turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and pack up, Commander Wang's patrol team is here."
"The chicken hasn't crowed for the first time yet. Why are you here so early today?" The people in the room muttered. There was nothing to deal with, just two dice and a bowl.
When the patrol team walked to the wooden ladder above the gap, they found that there was no movement below, and a three-person group quietly disappeared into the darkness.
"Hey? Why are you so early today?" Seeing the patrolman approaching slowly, the bandit leader in the city gate building hurriedly came out to say hello.
"The commander has received news that the Eighth Route Army will attack the county tonight. We are here to strengthen the defense."
"Eight-pronged siege? Are you kidding me?" Is there anything funnier than this in the world?
Captain Geng continued to walk eastward. Hu Yi told him very clearly that he must be bold and blend in with the enemy before drawing his bayonet and taking action!
Not every team member has the mentality to walk past the enemy's eyes and remain calm and ignore the enemy.
My heart was pounding, and the bayonet hidden in my sleeve even cut my clothes.
The little bandit leader saw the light reflected from the oil lamp in the city gate building behind him, and immediately realized that the situation did not seem to be good.
A command came from the front: "Stand still. Turn right."
The bayonets in their sleeves slipped off one after another
boom.
The bandit leader was very skilled. When the members of the work team stopped following the command, he had already raised his rifle and started firing.
The distance between the two was too close, and the soldier who was shot used all his strength to draw his bayonet across the bandit leader's neck.
Then, his body fell back.
None of the soldiers next to him helped him, and the bayonets in their hands began to stab the bandit soldiers who were standing in a mess at the gate of the city gate tower.
The sharp bayonet penetrated the flesh with a squeaking sound, and a brief scream was followed by twitching.
Then, members of another group rushed into the city gate building with a shell gun in one hand and a bayonet in the other.
The bandit soldiers in the room didn't even need to be told by the team members to turn down their guns. They had already raised their hands.
Winning!
A Czech light machine gun lay crooked on one side, ten rifles, a Congo-type shell gun, and no bayonets.
Then, several bandits who seemed to be drunk started to quarrel in the city gate building.
Upon hearing the gunfire, the bandit soldiers stationed inside the city gate immediately came out and shouted, "Hey, what happened?"
I could faintly hear a voice coming from the tower: "How dare you rob my wife?"
"So what if I rob you?"
"Ouch. How dare you hit someone..."
It seems like someone is trying to break up the fight: "If you have something to say, please tell me. Can you please stop taking action?"
Seeing that the people above were only quarreling and fighting without answering, the bandit soldiers who were asking questions immediately followed the horse path leading up to the city wall to go up to see what was going on.
Bang bang.
A wine jar was thrown from above and smashed to pieces in front of the bandits.
