Chapter Fifty-six: Attacking the Laowo Village Cannon Tower
The Laowo Village gun tower is the nearest Japanese gun tower to the northwest of Longpan Mountain. It is located on a high ground three miles from the entrance of Laowo Village. Not far away is a highway that runs through the two provinces, and Japanese transport convoys often pass by.
Before the establishment of the Longpanshan Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment, the 276th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army often had head-to-head confrontations with the Japanese regiment stationed in Yangquan County, winning and losing. At the same time, they kept harassing the Japanese transport convoys, which gave the Japanese a lot of headaches and had to
A large number of gun towers were built around the highway, and at least one Japanese squadron and one puppet army squadron were stationed in each gun tower.
Since the 276th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has basically stopped taking the initiative to attack the Japanese in the past year or so, most of the Japanese in these gun towers have been transferred back to Yangquan County to increase the combat effectiveness of the anti-Japanese independent detachment in the encirclement and suppression of Longpanshan.
Only two Japanese soldiers and a small group of puppet troops were left.
However, the Laowo Village blockhouse is the closest blockhouse to Longpanshan, so the number of Japanese and puppet troops here is greater than that of other blockhouses. Six Japanese, nearly forty puppet soldiers, one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns are enough to deal with Long Panshan.
Those bandits in Panshan who want to come out and rob.
Behind a hillside five miles away from Laowo Village, Wang Lichun and Li Yunbiao, together with soldiers from Huju Ridge, sat in a group and were making plans to attack the Laowo Village artillery tower.
The Japs who massacred the villagers of Wolong Village today were from the Laowo Village blockhouse. Now the inside of the blockhouse was empty, with only two Japs and seven or eight puppet troops left, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the attack.
After learning the news from Feng Zizi, Wang Lichun immediately made a decision to destroy the Laowo Village blockhouse. Killing the two Japanese inside was a key reason, but another reason was that he took a fancy to the importance inside.
machine gun!
There are more than a hundred people on Hujuling, but they don’t even have a machine gun. If they can knock down the Japanese gun tower, they can capture three machine guns, one heavy, two light, etc. This is definitely a huge gain for the Hujuling Independent Brigade! As for the
Wang Lichun didn't even think about the impact that taking down the Japanese artillery towers would have on the Japanese. He didn't care about these frivolous things.
"After a while, Xiao Feng led the way. The brothers all changed into the costumes of the puppet soldiers. The fourth master, I and the tiger boy, the three of us changed into the costumes of the Japanese... Remember, once you rush into the gun building, the sixteen of you will immediately
All the puppet troops inside are under control, and any resistance will be dealt with immediately, but try not to use guns. The others followed the Fourth Leader and me and went upstairs to catch the two Japs. In short, we must be fast so that they cannot react. I
I don’t want to hear gunfire, and I don’t want to see any casualties among my brothers.”
Wang Lichun made the arrangements in an orderly manner. He had already thought out the entire plan on the way back and was confident that he would take down the Laowo Village artillery tower without firing a single shot.
After listening to Wang Lichun's deployment, Zhang Dayong pulled his neck and asked: "Political Commissar, you have assigned tasks to everyone, why am I not there?"
"And I, the political commissar, you have forgotten me too!" Gouzi now began to follow the crowd in calling Wang Lichun "political commissar."
"Comrade Zhang Dayong, I have not forgotten you. I will give you the most difficult task of taking good care of the dog outside. In addition, you also have another task, which is to find a hidden place and keep an eye on the door of the turret. If anyone escapes,
Kill them immediately and never let one go!"
Just after hearing the first half of Wang Lichun's words, Zhang Dayong almost jumped up, but when he heard the next words, his face showed excitement and nodded vigorously: "Okay, political commissar, don't worry!" At the same time, he patted him sitting on his back.
The head of the dog next to him said: "After Xiaojia, follow me and learn my marksmanship."
"Stone, come here." Wang Lichun waved to Zhang Dayong, took out a tightly wrapped small cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, took out the four-fold optical sight and handed it to Zhang Dayong, "
Put this on your gun and you can shoot more accurately.”….
Li Yunbiao and others did not know the quadruple optical sight, but Zhang Dayong had been thinking about this thing for a long time. He had determined that the amazing marksmanship that Wang Lichun had shown several times before was definitely related to this weird thing.
Taught Zhang Dayong how to install and use the four-power optical sight. Zhang Dayong was gesticulating happily on the side. Wang Lichun quickly started to put on the Japanese military uniform. At this time, Feng Laizi suddenly came to him again and begged: "Hero, please
You let me join the gang! This time I take you to attack the artillery towers, and the Japanese will definitely know about it in the future. If you don’t take me in, I will be dead.”
Wang Lichun never agreed to Feng Laizi's joining. Not only Feng Laizi, but also several other eleven puppet soldiers wanted to join the group, but he rejected them all on the grounds that now was not the time.
At the same time, he was puzzled by one thing: Feng Laizi didn't want to believe that he was a member of the Eighth Route Army, and insisted that they were bandits. Even when Feng Laizi heard other people calling him "political commissar," he didn't change.
Patting Feng Laizi's shoulder, Wang Lichun said solemnly: "I told you, now is not the time. But don't worry, I won't push you into the fire pit. I guarantee that the Japanese will not know about this.
You can still continue to be your puppet army."
"You're a good man and you want me to be a puppet soldier?"
"Do you want to do it first? If you go up the mountain now, brothers, some people will definitely have opinions about you. When you make great achievements in the future, and then go up the mountain, I guarantee that no one will care about you being a puppet soldier."
To make a great contribution? Feng Laizi was a little confused and looked at Wang Lichun in confusion. The latter nodded and continued: "When we take down the Japanese artillery tower, you escape back with the others and say that you met the Jin Dynasty."
All the Japs in the 276th Regiment of the Sui Army have been killed, and then wait for my news, and I will find a suitable time in the future for you to go up the mountain and join the army with your merits."
After saying this, seeing Feng Laizi nodding mechanically, Wang Lichun didn't care whether the other party understood it or not, changed into the Japanese military uniform, and patted Feng Laizi on the shoulder: "Let's go!"
Since the past year has basically been peaceful, the puppet troops and Japanese soldiers in the Laowo Village blockhouse are on low alert. Feng Laizi led Wang Lichun and his party in disguise directly to a place thirty meters away from the blockhouse.
There was a shout: "Who is it, stop immediately, or we will shoot!"
"It's me, I'm Feng Laizi. Open the door quickly. We encountered the Jinsui Army. Suzuki Taijun and the captain were killed by the Jinsui Army. There were more than a hundred of them. They are catching up. Open the door quickly.
Let Taijun and I go in!"
Before Feng Laizi could finish his voice, Wang Lichun shouted loudly: "Baga!"
Soon the door of the fort was opened, and the people inside recognized Feng Laizi. He had a distinctive limp when he walked. Moreover, the puppet soldiers inside were frightened when they heard that more than a hundred Jinsui troops were coming.
Not lightly. They have heard the name of the 276th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. They usually bully and bully the common people. If they fight with the Jinsui Army, they will have to wait to be destroyed. What's more, it sounds like Jinsui Army now.
The army also had an advantage in numbers.
Therefore, the puppet troops in the gun tower had no doubts and just wanted to get Feng Laizi and others into the gun tower quickly. Thirty or forty people guarded the gun tower. Even if the Jinsui Army wanted to defeat it, it would take time, long enough to wait for support to arrive.
Wang Lichun and others entered the artillery building so easily. As soon as the last Hujuling soldier entered the artillery building, he immediately locked the door. At the same time, Feng Laizi glanced around and found that there were only seven puppet troops, so he quickly asked: "Where is the deputy?
?”
"The deputy went upstairs to report to Taijun." A puppet soldier wearing a hat crookedly added casually. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a Japanese soldier say in fluent Chinese: "Do it!"
The seven puppet soldiers were stunned. Sixteen soldiers from Huju Ridge had already pounced on them, two or three against one, and quickly subdued the opponents. Those who resisted fiercely were killed with a single blow...
Wang Lichun did not dare to hesitate. Carrying the box of artillery seized from the puppet army, he rushed up the stairs first. Li Yunbiao was worried that Wang Lichun had made a mistake and followed closely behind him. Several other soldiers from Hujuling followed him and rushed up in the blink of an eye.
Go up.
When Wang Lichun ran to the roof of the tower, he saw a scene that made his eyebrows split.
On the roof of the building, a Japanese man with loose trousers that were barely tied stepped on a naked woman. He held a knife high in his hand and chopped off the woman's head with great force, splattering blood everywhere.
There was a Japanese soldier standing next to him, holding up his trousers, cursing, saying "ruining a good thing" and so on. Next to the two Japanese soldiers, there was also a puppet soldier standing with his waist covered with quilt, watching indifferently as the woman was being stabbed.
Cut off the head.
"Who are you?" The Japanese soldier carrying a knife was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Lichun.
"I am your uncle!" Wang Lichun roared, taking advantage of the moment when the other person was distracted, he rushed up and kicked the other person in the crotch. There was a faint click, like the sound of an egg breaking.
"Ouch!" The devil let out a miserable howl, dropped the knife in his hand, covered his crotch and fell down in pain.
When another Japanese prisoner saw his companion being beaten, he wanted to pick up the San Ba Da Gai from the ground. However, Li Yunbiao had already arrived. He jumped up to the Japanese prisoner, grabbed his hand, pushed and pulled it, and twisted his arm.
He reached the back and twisted hard, only to hear a bang sound and the Japanese arm was broken.
The deputy deputy of the puppet army looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded. Wang Lichun and Li Yunbiao were both wearing Japanese military uniforms, and their backs were turned to him. He did not understand why the Japanese would fight with the Japanese and beat them so hard.
When he saw the faces of Wang Lichun and Li Yunbiao clearly and realized that he had never seen them before, he finally understood and wanted to take out the cannon from the gun case on his waist. The soldiers from Hujuling had already rushed up. Immediately,
Someone stepped forward and put a foot in his leg, kicked him to the ground, and at the same time removed the gun from his hand.
"Push these two guys down!" Wang Lichun pointed at the two Japs, then picked up the knife that the Japs dropped on the ground, and walked towards the puppet army deputy, "Do you know why I want to kill you?"
The puppet army deputy looked panicked, and just about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, he heard Wang Lichun continue: "You don't care about your fellow villagers being harmed by the devils, and you don't care about being killed by the devils. You, a person whose conscience has been eaten by dogs, will only be able to survive.
It’s a shame for the Chinese people!”
This was the last sentence he heard. The next moment, he felt a chill on his neck, and a hot liquid spurted out of his body. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but nothing came out...
