Chapter 1194 The villagers who would rather die than yield!
If Sanqiao County and its surrounding three counties, including Baoyuan County, occupied by the Japanese, were all counted together, and to select which village is the most supportive of the army, I am afraid that no village will submit to others.
However, if one of the four counties is selected, it will definitely be Kaiping Village in Baoyuan County, and no one dares to dissatisfie.
This village originally had ninety-eight households and nearly four hundred people.
Since the Japanese occupied this place, many young people in this village spontaneously organized militia to resist. Later, when the guerrillas came, many people joined the guerrillas.
The reason why it is famous is that the first time the Japanese came to this village to investigate the wounded guerrillas. After Wangfeng's militia discovered it, they reported it to the villagers in time, and the villagers quickly moved. However, eight families did not believe that the Japanese were so cruel, and there were many elderly people in their families, so they could not be transferred in a short time. Therefore, 39 of these eight families were captured by the Japanese and were forced to explain where the wounded guerrillas were hidden?
However, none of the eight families spoke out from beginning to end, and in the end, they were all killed by the Japanese... including four children under the age of six.
This aroused the anger of the villagers of Kaiping Village.
More than half a month later, the Japanese sent a small team and came again.
However, this time, because the guerrillas were stationed in the village, everyone blocked the Japanese on the mountain. In addition, the Japanese were careless, the guerrillas not only successfully blocked the Japanese outside the village, but also killed seven or eight Japanese.
Although we won temporarily, everyone knows that the Japanese will definitely come to take revenge.
However, no one expected that this time, the Japanese not only sent a brigade, but also an artillery squadron to come... Looking at the Japanese's attitude, they obviously wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. They took Kaiping Village into a pot to scare other villages.
It is precisely because of the addition of this artillery squadron that the geographical advantage occupied by the guerrillas was gone, but the guerrillas and villagers still fought to the death while quickly organizing everyone to hide in the deep mountains and forests.
However, I didn't expect that the Japanese would use tactics to fight a village.
On one side, he fought with the guerrillas in front, but on the other side, he sent troops around from behind and raided the village.
As they attacked the east and west, everyone could not resist and could only retreat.
Afterwards, the Japanese also searched the mountains and shouted... Anyway, they captured hundreds of villagers in a row.
The Japanese also asked the villagers to tell the news about the wounded guerrillas and the hiding locations. As a result, no one of the more than a hundred villagers said a word from beginning to end. Even if an old man was stabbed to death by the Japanese in public with a bayonet, no one spoke.
In the end, more than a hundred villagers were all massacred by the Japanese.
A few days later, the villagers came back one after another.
After buying the bodies of the dead villagers, they burst into tears, and everyone wiped their tears and made up their minds to fight to the end with the Japanese.
Then, the villagers asked for guns from the assault regiment through the guerrillas and went to the black market to buy guns. The children were all equipped with red tassel guns and resolutely beat the Japanese.
Soon, the Japanese were probably hearing the wind and knew that the villagers of Kaiping Village were not convinced, so they immediately became furious again.
The villagers who suffered two losses learned their lessons this time. Not only did they hide their food in the forest early, but they also started running up the mountain as soon as they heard the gunshots, leaving young and middle-aged people to fight the Japanese with the guerrillas. The most awe-inspiring thing and the most reflecting that everyone fought with the Japanese was that, without waiting for the Japanese to reuse their skills and sending troops to attack from behind, the villagers themselves ordered their own houses. It showed that everyone would rather destroy their homes than leave a grain of food for the Japanese.
When the Japanese saw that there was nothing to rob, they couldn't fight guerrillas all over the mountains and fields. Helplessly, the Japanese had to retreat.
After the Japanese left, the villagers went down the mountain one after another to rebuild the house.
Three more times later, the Japanese attacked the Japanese. The villagers took the initiative to order the newly repaired houses of their own. When the Japanese retreated, they repaired the houses again. When the Japanese arrived, they took the initiative to ignite the newly repaired houses of their own... Until the assault regiment launched an attack on Baoyuan County, the Japanese in Baoyuan County focused their energy on dealing with the assault regiment, and relaxed the burning, killing, looting and looting of Kaiping Village, so that there was no incident in Kaiping Village that actively igniting their own houses.
Not to mention anything else, I just burned my own house four times. How many people can do such a thing? What's more, whenever I was caught by the Japanese, from the age of seventy or eighty to the age of three or four, I would not say a word even if I died, there was no traitor in the village... This spirit of rather than surrendering than destroying my family and fighting with the invaders to the end, makes anyone who has heard of these things admire them from the bottom of their hearts.
It is precisely because of the toughness of the villagers in Kaiping Village that Luo Yingjie, the captain and instructor of the enemy's armed forces team, once he received the appointment, he led the team straight to Kaiping Village, Baoyuan County, and set up the headquarters of the enemy's armed forces team in Kaiping Village. It is precisely because of the strong support of the villagers in Kaiping Village that the work of the Baoyuan County armed forces team in Baoyuan County is in full swing in this area.
Now, this is not only the headquarters of the armed forces behind enemy lines, but also the headquarters and temporary concealment point of the special assault battalion composed of the Third Battalion, Assault Company, Artillery Company, and the armed forces behind enemy lines.
This special assault battalion was commanded by the third battalion commander Qi Zixuan, and Zhang Qingshan was commander-in-chief. Originally, there was only one team, but after the main regiment completed the mission, they headed straight to Qinglong Mountain. They wanted to support the battle of the fourth battalion of the assault regiment in Qinglong Mountain, but they were one step too late. When the main regiment arrived, the Japanese army had all arrived at Sanqiao County.
Afterwards, the main force regiment and the Fourth Battalion wanted to go to Sanqiao County to help. As a result, Zhang Qingshan, the street commander-in-chief of the enemy before this battle, the Fourth Battalion went to ambush outside Sanqiao County and repaired it. The main force regiment went straight to Baoyuan County.
However, because he had not received Zhang Qingshan's order, the main group did not dare to attack the county town first, so he had to follow the previous order and lie down in a village called Xiaomazhuang more than 20 miles northwest of the county town.
Kaiping Village is located in a mountain more than 50 miles southeast of Baoshen County. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is only one mountain road entering and leaving the village, and it is relatively rugged and difficult to walk. This is one of the important reasons why everyone sets ambush on the mountain roads on the mountain roads. Although the Japanese have a large number of troops, they are still difficult to capture.
It has been seven or eight days since everyone arrived in Kaiping Village, which is equivalent to resting for seven or eight days.
Not to mention, for those who have been marching and fighting for a long time, they suddenly stopped and rested for seven or eight days. Everyone really couldn't adapt. It was just like they were at work for a long time and stopped suddenly. They were really not used to it: in the first one or two days, everyone was very happy that they didn't have to have sex or training, and they did have a good rest these or two days. However, in the next few days, everyone was not very comfortable, just because they were not used to such a rest.
Want to train?
No place!
Kaiping Village is not big, and it is located in the mountains. Where can such a large flat land be used for everyone to train? Besides, more than a thousand people have been poured in, and food, ammunition, etc. need special rooms to store. Where can such a large place be enough for more than a thousand people to eat and chew? Now, the lawn is full of simple straw huts, and in this way, each straw hut has to be squeezed into three or four people to barely enough.
If you want to walk around, that won’t work!
Although everyone admires the hard-boned folk customs of Kaiping Village and knows that there will be no traitors here, the question is, who can guarantee that when you are wandering around the mountains, you will not encounter a few collecting herbs or chopping wood? At that time, as long as one person misses his mouth, there are a large number of soldiers stationed in Kaiping Village, or even if you only say that people wearing military uniforms or carrying rifles are found in Kaiping Village, then, if someone is interested, they will find something strange inside, will it be exposed?
Want to gamble?
Hey! Hey! The party, government and military regulations clearly stipulate that gambling is not allowed, so who dares to violate it?
So, over the past few days, everyone has nothing to do, at most they listen to veterans tell stories. However, more and more people attend night school at night. The reason is that they are too bored.
In the words of the soldiers, in these few days, they are like pigs, growing half a pound of meat every day. In another month, everyone will no longer have to fight the Japanese because they are too fat and can't run anymore. It's better to sell them all as pigs.
It is indeed exaggerating to say that growing half a pound of meat every day, but it is true that growing fat every day is true.
Because the people of Kaiping Village are really good to the Eighth Route Army, so good that they would rather sleep in the shack than give the house to the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army would not do this. In the stalemate, the village chief discussed with Qi Zixuan and reluctantly accepted the temporary residence of four houses: one for night school classes, one for storing food, weapons and ammunition, one for office, one for resting with medical staff and the soldiers and villagers. One of them was also reserved for Peng Tiejun, a blasting expert who came with the army. To be honest, in this era, intellectuals and professionals, both soldiers and ordinary people, are very respected. They will give the greatest help within their abilities in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. In this regard, this is also the embodiment of everyone's desire for knowledge.
Seeing that the soldiers would rather sleep under the eaves than sleep at home, the people were very moved. The next day, under the leadership of the village chief, the people in the village calculated ones, and all went up the mountain to help the soldiers log wood. Even the dolls were led by their mother and sister to cut the thatch.
I heard that the soldiers only brought food and had no food to serve, and the people took out everything they had to do... Qi Zixuan politely refused at first, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the people, so he had to buy it with money. But the people threw the bacon, live chickens and ducks away and left. Where would you go to give them money? So Qi Zixuan decided to give them some money when he left, not much, but the gift was light and affection was heavy.
The soldiers stood guard and many children helped herd cattle and sheep while helping to keep guard. Whenever they found any movement, even if they found a snake swimming in the grass, they would immediately report it to the soldiers... They were more active than the soldiers and were more vigilant. They were as terrified that the soldiers were not serious enough, which made people both touched and funny.
