Ma Zhongyan, who was the enemy of her country and her family, naturally could not let go of the Japs. She had already decided that when she went to Erlang Mountain, she would not only borrow troops to save people, but also kill all those hateful little Japs.
Along with him, besides Heizi, Lao Abacus also followed.
Although Ma Zhongyan felt that Lao Abacus was unreliable, he had been with the hero for a long time, so he might have some good ideas. So he took Lao Abacus with him.
The three men rode the horses pulling the cart and headed straight for Erlang Mountain.
This Erlang Mountain is about 20 kilometers northwest of them, and Erlang Mountain is about ten kilometers east of Shamadian.
So if there is no sitting horse, even if they invite people, they may not be able to reach Shama Shop before tomorrow morning.
It's just that the horse sitting down is a bit unsatisfactory. It is not a war horse but a horse pulling a cart. Even if it runs, it is not that fast.
Ma Zhongyan was extremely anxious, but had no choice but to hope that it would not be too late, otherwise even if the gods arrived in Shama Town, they would not be able to save people at all.
So the group of people rushed towards Erlang Mountain hard.
At the same time, Duanwu naturally didn't know this, so he saw off the old abacus and felt relaxed.
Lao Abacus was forced to join the team by him, or was tricked into joining the team.
Many people think that such a weak person as Lao Abacus is useless on the battlefield.
However, in the army, there is a shortage of people like Lao Abacus.
During the Republic of China, there were very few people who were literate, not to mention that the old abacus could calculate accounts and was very good at making careful calculations.
So at that time, Duanwu wanted to find such a person who was always on call, but except for a few officers, he couldn't find him at all.
But we can't let people like Xie Jinyuan or Shangguan Zhibiao handle the accounts, right? They still have to lead troops to fight.
So here, the importance of the old abacus is highlighted.
So Dragon Boat Festival coaxed and deceived, and within five steps, he tied the old abacus to his side.
But just yesterday, Dragon Boat Festival released him and let him go back to reunite with his chubby wife. He also left all the funeral arrangements to Lao Abacus.
He believed too much. After going through so much, he would not keep all the money for himself. He would definitely send all the money to his brothers' families.
So not only was the Dragon Boat Festival relaxed at this time, but all the special operations team members were also very relaxed. They could also fight freely in the battle at Shamadian.
Duanwu and Pang Hu sat in a carriage and studied tactics. Although there was definitely no chance of survival if seventeen people fought with the Japanese in a large group. But it was not Duanwu's character to sit and wait for death. If he could survive, he would survive. If he couldn't survive, he would have to hold him.
The devils will die together.
Pang Hu proposed to lure the Japanese outside the city and fight like the Utakamaru Squadron, Takeshita Shun and Inomura Squadron. As long as they are in the mountains, they will definitely have enough depth to use as room for maneuver.
But Duanwu shook his head and said: "Our current firepower is obviously insufficient. All grenades and mortars are lost. Automatic weapons are also gone. There are only three light machine guns now, and the rest are Japanese Type 38 rifles and grenades.
There are only a few dozen left. We do not have an advantage in fighting the jungle war with the Japanese.
Moreover, the enemy is well prepared and must be carrying a large number of artillery. Therefore, if we are fighting the jungle war with the Japanese now, we will suffer a great loss. Unless we can outrun the Japanese artillery.
What's more, the Japs' request this time is to have a decisive battle with us. Once we leave, the Japs will deal with the villagers when they go back. And by then, it will be meaningless for us to come to Shamadian."
Pang Hu nodded frequently, and then asked: "Tuanzuo, what should we do?"
Duanwu thought for a while and said: "In street fighting, we will find a way to seize a commanding height, and then have a final decisive battle with the Japs. Although we will no longer have an escape route by then, in street fighting, the superior firepower of the Japs will not be used. It is best.
It’s a solid house. Just like a four-row warehouse.”
Pang Hu smiled and said: "That's a good relationship. I heard that Tuanzuo you killed many Japanese in Sixing Warehouse!"
Duanwu shook his head and said: "Brothers have sacrificed a lot, just exchanging lives for lives. We sacrificed a little less, but there were a lot more Japanese."
By the way, I will now teach you how to fight in the street. It is very important to seize the commanding heights. If we fight the Japanese on the ground in street fighting, we still will not have the advantage.
There are many Japs, so they can surround us whenever they want. When the time comes, we will be surrounded on all sides and we will all be killed if we cannot hold out for five minutes.
So we can only find a commanding height and hold it there."
Pang Hu nodded again and said: "Tuanzuo, you are right. But we are not familiar with the terrain of Shama Store. What should we do?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "That's why we have to enter Shama Store early to find this favorable terrain. I'm even thinking that if we can rescue people out tonight, then we won't have to worry about the Fujiyama Japs."
"Wonderful!"
Pang Hu praised, but at this time the communications soldier said: "Regiment leader, could you have told me earlier? If you had told me earlier, there would be no need to smash the radio station."
Duanwu scolded: "Why don't we keep it? We are going into the city tonight. Once it starts dripping, we will all be exposed. And we will probably have to climb the city wall tonight and carry such heavy things, so we might as well bring more."
Weapons and ammunition.
Weapons and ammunition will determine how long we can fight this war. Without guns and bullets, what can we use to kill the Japanese?"
"hey-hey!"
The communications soldier giggled, but this time, he smashed the radio but carried a box of rifle bullets. There were about 1,500 rounds. These bullets were enough for them to hold on for a while.
Of course, the ammunition they carry will not only be the fifteen hundred rounds of rifle bullets, but also machine gun bullets, grenades, etc.
In total, there are about four to five thousand rounds of various bullets and less than a hundred grenades.
If they could find a solid commanding height in Shamadian, Duanwu concluded that holding on for two days would not be a problem.
Within these two days, either all of them would die in battle, or they would severely injure the Japanese and break through.
But the chance of this should be very slim, because if the Japanese Fujiyama Brigade suffered heavy losses, they would definitely call for reinforcements.
Shamadian was still within the Japanese defense zone at this time, so it was only natural that the Japanese would call for reinforcements.
Therefore, the chance of survival is slim, so the only option is to fight to the death and kill as many Japanese soldiers as possible.
At nightfall, the sky gradually darkened. Duanwu and others finally arrived outside Shama Store.
Shamadian is not a big city, but it has city walls. It was prosperous because of the horse gangs.
But he didn't expect that precisely because of this, he would be targeted by horse bandits.
Horse bandits often come on fast horses, steal things and then leave, causing considerable losses to the Shama store.
So later on, more than a dozen caravans, plus some local businessmen, etc., built a wall in Shamadian and surrounded the entire town.
The horse bandits came to rob again. It was impossible to rush in on horseback.
There are horse gangs in this Shama shop, and there are also some gangsters who have washed their hands in golden basins. Whether it is their marksmanship or fighting ability, they are not something that ordinary horse bandits can fight against. However, the horse bandits' charge of war horses is irresistible.
Therefore, with the city wall, the horse bandits suffered several losses and finally stopped coming, and the Shama store was peaceful for more than ten years.
But what no one expected was that when the Japanese came, they were even more hateful than those horse bandits! ...
