During the Xuantong period of the late Qing Dynasty, Anxian County, located on the Pinghan-Han Railway Line, had access to electricity.
In the 21st year of the Republic of China (32 years), electricity became popular in An County.
For ordinary people, electricity is a new thing that is absolutely unprecedented, unheard of, and feels far away from them.
Rural people only occasionally talk about it as a bragging topic after dinner.
The Japanese wanted to ensure that the searchlights in the blockade trenches and blockhouses along the railway line had electricity.
Neihuang County, less than a hundred miles away from An County, subsequently lost its qualification to use electricity.
After the Japanese cut off the power lines in the county town, it returned to the era of oil lamps and candles.
The county government originally had a small diesel generator, but diesel was a first-class military commodity and no one except the Japanese was allowed to use it!
Moreover, the generator thing makes a really loud noise.
There must be some spy planted by the Japs in the county town, and Commander Bandit Wang would not dare to use them.
Someone set fire to the city, and machine gun bullets from the city walls were shooting randomly in the city.
Even after firing a round, the machine gun went silent again.
The bandits were still furious.
The first reaction was that someone was attacking the city.
There were smart people shouting everywhere, and the machine gun bullets fired from the top of the city almost all hit the courtyard surrounding the county government office.
The current situation in the county is chaotic, but the situation is not complicated.
The bandits' thoughts changed immediately, and the city wall had been robbed.
As for who occupied it or whether there was internal strife and rebellion, does it have anything to do with me?
The bandit soldiers took refuge with the Wang family and his son in order to have food, clothing and a woman. It was natural that they would bully the common people. But now that the county town was obviously surrounded, the bandit leaders from all walks of life immediately started to fight in their hearts.
The bird in the lead dies first. They hide in hidden places and wait for the commander to give orders to take the initiative to take back the city gate and the building. Only a fool can do that!
Commander Wang, who was in charge of the county government, had seen many big scenes and immediately ordered his subordinates to contact Brother Lu.
As long as the team can be kept stable, who will two or three brothers be afraid of?
First of all, the people lining up will not be the Imperial Army. The people attacking the county will either be the National Army guerrillas, the Eighth Route Army, or someone under them has evil intentions!
No matter who it is, the various departments in the county cannot be in chaos. Retaking the city wall is a top priority.
The phone couldn't be reached, so we had to send someone to notify the direct bandit soldiers living around the county government, and let the direct brothers lead the new bandit leaders who had taken refuge in the city to take back the high points of the city wall.
The bandit's command system is not complicated. The boss shouts and everyone joins in.
As a result, the bandits from Wang Taigong's direct line who received orders around the courtyard began to gather more bandits, and they came out of the various courtyards where they were stationed in a chaotic manner, trying to run towards the various city gates.
Groups of bandits soon appeared on the main street in front of the county government office.
Ta da da. Ta da da.
Two tongues of flames flashed on both sides of the street.
The bandit soldiers did not expect that there was an ambush on both sides of the street, and they immediately panicked.
Naturally, some of the bandits were not afraid of death, so they fought back with guns.
Boom boom boom boom
Four grenades exploded one after another among the bandits.
Two rounds of machine gun bullets didn't kill many bandits at all, but the noise was really scary.
Amidst the shouting of crying father and mother asking for help from Bodhisattva,
The bandits immediately began to sneak into the shops on both sides as stated in the battle plan.
I just regret that my parents gave me two fewer legs.
The bandits who raised their guns to fight back did not end well, and were directly eliminated by the cover team hiding in the darkness on the first floor.
"There are people on the first floor too," a panicked voice shouted.
In an instant, there was no one on the street except the groaning and struggling bandits.
To fight back at this time is simply to seek death.
Wang Taigong and his subordinates climbed to the top of the third floor of the county government office and looked around.
The city gate tower above the four city gate openings looks like a giant beast staring at it in the dark night.
As long as he doesn't get into trouble, the dark county town is his home base. No matter how many bad guys come, he is not afraid at all.
The attack on the county seat caused such a big fuss, and even a fool could tell that the Eighth Route Army was causing trouble.
The imperial army, which has always had zero tolerance for the Eighth Route Army, will definitely come for reinforcements!
Immediately shout loudly and tell his men to move closer to the county government office!
If you persist until dawn, trying to take advantage of the troubled waters of the night and take advantage of Tubal Road will be self-defeating.
Therefore, keeping his men calm immediately became the key.
Wang Liujin did not expect that it would be so easy to capture the four city towers in the county. Moreover, the bandits only tried to press back the city towers tentatively. The two machine guns located in front of the county government office fired one shot each and drove the bandits back.
The bandits seem to have no intention of pushing back the city wall.
Isn't this bandit too easy to fight?
Ma Liang, who was squatting on the south city wall, was the drafter of the battle plan and worked as a staff officer next to Wang Liujin. After a brief discussion, the two immediately ordered the two artillery groups that had set up positions outside the city to go up the city wall, and at the same time mobilized the troops who had not originally planned to attack. The Ninth Battalion grenade group participated in the attack.
The Fourth Route Army is guarding the outside of the city. Currently, the bandits in the city are completely unable to fly.
Hiding in the darkness, Luo Fugui and the soldiers of the special agent company watched the bandits gathering near the county government office, and secretly complained in their hearts.
Hurry to the side yard and jump forward.
The bandits who came near the county government began to hide everywhere.
Luo Fugui and the soldiers of the special agent company were hiding in an abandoned woodshed. As the number of people increased, the two of them had no chance to escape now.
A group of more than ten bandits looked around anxiously in the yard. There were people in every house, and finally found the low woodshed.
The leader's eyes lit up: "Brothers, enter the woodshed."
The door was kicked open, and more than ten figures rushed in.
Luo Fugui was dumbfounded and did not dare to fire the shell gun in his hand.
The little bandit leader who struck a match saw two nervous figures carrying shell guns in the room, and quickly made peace: "Hey, two brothers, I didn't expect you to occupy this place first. The matter has arisen. Everyone squeezes in. .”
Luo Fugui saw that the bandits had no suspicion, but he still felt uneasy: "Grandma, please put out the match quickly, be careful of getting shot."
The little bandit leader thought to himself, what this guy said makes sense, and quickly put out the match: "Look at my stupid brain, brother, what you said is absolutely true."
The woodshed was silent, but sporadic gunfire still rang out in the city.
The little bandit leader couldn't help but say in the darkness: "Hey, do you know what happened?"
Luo Fugui's ugly eyes rolled in the darkness: "It's probably an eight-pronged sneak attack."
"How do you know?"
"You idiot, the imperial army will not cause trouble for us, Wang, and the national army guerrillas have long disappeared. Who else can there be besides the Eighth Route Army?"
"Could someone be rebelling?"
"Rebellion? Do you really think that if someone rebels, he will not first attack the county government and occupy the city wall to use it?"
"Brother, you still see clearly." The bandit leader actually has no idea at all. At this time, he will believe whatever someone says: "Hey, brother, tell me, many people on Sangun Tubal Road don't even have guns. How can they?" Do you dare to stroke Commander Wang’s tiger beard?”
"Last year Liu Sanpao killed a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers. I heard that a dozen people only needed two guns."
"The Eighth Route Army is indeed extremely poor. They are obviously starving to death, but they still give half of their hutou to those poor villagers. I can't bear to do anything."
A bandit next to him couldn't help but analyze: "The Eighth Route Army probably knew that the young commander was going to the west of An County to suppress the water protection group, and took the opportunity to raid the commander's lair to steal food."
I heard that the bandit Wang Sanzhu, that bastard, actually led people to fight for the water protection group? Luo Fugui was startled and did not dare to say a word.
The two bandits next to them continued to mutter: "The boss asked us to approach the county government office and wait for dawn, but is it really safe to stay here?"
"It's better than going out for a shot. Everyone, please keep quiet. If someone calls out later, we'll pretend we didn't hear you."
"Yes, those guys have occupied a good house and let us squat in this room. Later, let them go out to die first, and we can take advantage!"
Luo Fugui cautiously interjected: "Hey, let me tell you, have we fallen into a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain this time?"
The little bandit leader echoed: "It's really like that."
"Grandma, shouldn't we take advantage of the darkness to rob two big businesses?"
The bandit leader slapped his thigh: "Oh, why didn't I think of this! Brother, I will hang out with you from now on!"
The bandit next to him was immediately eager to try: "I know which families have cash, the bank account opened by the commander's family, the pawn shop opened by the second master's family, the brothel opened by the third master's family, the opium shop opened by the fourth master's family, the grain account opened by the fifth master's family, the sixth master's family The cloth shop opened by the seventh master, the medical clinic opened by the seventh master, and the eighth master."
"Your mother has a bad heart."
The little boss immediately asked Luo Fugui in the dark: "Brother, just tell me, what shall we do in a while?"
Luo Fugui pulled the guard company soldier in the dark and said, "We can't walk on the street. Let's take the alley, starting from the bank."
A voice came out from the darkness: "The Silver Horn doesn't seem to have a back door."
The little boss immediately asked: "How do you know?"
"Hey, I was just jealous and asked more about things."
There are more and more bandits in the county government compound.
Li Huanzhang groaned secretly in his heart.
"Hey, who is that? What are you hiding here for? Hurry up to the roof." A voice shouted to Li Huanzhang, who was lazy in the dark.
