Chapter Thirty-Three: Pleasure produces sorrow, and sorrow produces joy

Zhao Wu was very proud now, especially when he saw that he was less than the other party, he drove the other party into the village in a fierce manner, which made his face shine with excitement, which was even more comfortable than smoking big cigarettes. He kept waving the box cannon and roaring to let his subordinates rush into the village and kill all the other party.

If there is a rampant and proud side, there will inevitably be a loss, grief and anger.

At this time, Wu Shuibao felt so hatred that Taotao and the Yangtze River could not be extinguished: he summoned all the village self-defense teams that could be summoned in the whole township, and secretly contacted the village chief of Xiatianyun Village as the township chief, just to cooperate inside and outside, catch Zhao Wu off guard, and then, if Zhao Wu can be annihilated, he will not bother others. If he cannot, he will surround him first and then ask the Red Army to come forward. For this reason, he did not even report the operation in advance.

The plan is perfect, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes: I never expected that there were traitors in these two villages, which not only failed, but Zhao Wu used a trick to get into the other party's ambush circle, which turned into such an unfavorable situation now.

Those who can stand out must have their own extraordinary appearance!

The reason why the villagers of Shangxiatianyun Village are watching with guns is inseparable from Zhao Wu's character or his cunning: Tiger Cave is a way to survive for villagers in two villages to avoid bandits. Although Zhao Wu occupied Tiger Cave as a retreat, he also regarded these two villages as his territory. Not only did he charge a small amount of taxes, but he also strongly ensured his safety. He also did not allow bandits to disturb the tiger and form a bond with him because of this territory.

In this era of bandits rampant, he could have such protection. In this way, the villagers naturally had a good impression of him. But on the other hand, the Red Army's propaganda was still very good, which made the villagers unwilling to offend the Red Army, so they simply chose not to help each other, creating a wait-and-see situation. What's more interesting is that when the village chiefs of the two villages told this idea that the two sides had just started fighting, they actually received the consent of both sides.

In street fighting, although muskets are not inferior to rifles, Zhao Wu has two light machine guns mounted on the commanding heights more than 200 meters away, controlling the situation in Xiatianyun Village: no matter where the bandits attack the village is blocked, these two light machine guns will go wherever they are, so that the self-defense force cannot even be swept out. It can be said that although Wu Shuibao retreated into Xiatianyun Village unwillingly, the situation is still in danger. If there is no external help, the defeat is a foregone conclusion:

"Uncle, their firepower is too strong, we can't stop it at all. If we continue to fight, we may all be over. We should retreat first and then ask the Red Army to send troops to deal with Zhao's surname."

Wu Shuibao is a little older and has been fighting for so long, but he is the township chief and must set an example. Therefore, he did not retreat, and just sat behind the wall to help others put ammunition on the musket while resting. The members of the Self-Defense Forces around him were trying to shoot at the attacking enemies.

Seeing two nephews running and saying this, looking at the two of them, their left arm was bloody and their other one was covered in dust, he understood that the situation could not be delayed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dahu, you take your people and escort the wounded first; Erhu, you and I will break the back and let the comrades."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a member of the Self-Defense Force leading two people to come and say: "Governor, these two people want to see you, they say they are the Red Army."

Wu Shuibao looked up and saw the man in front of him holding a box cannon in his hand. He was a little confused: Although he couldn't recognize him, he knew that no one of them had a box cannon. So, this person was definitely not from the Self-Defense Force he led. He deliberately concealed this action, but the Red Army appeared at a critical moment like a god-successful descendant. Who would believe it?

"Hello, Township Mayor Wu, I am Qian Jiang, the deputy squad leader of the Red Third Line Class, the third row, and this is my certificate."

"Ah! It's the big brother of the Red Army." Wu Shuibao opened the ID and looked carefully in disbelief. After raising his hands with excitement, he stretched out his hands and held the other party's hand. He was about to burst into tears: "It's great, great that you can come."

As he said that, he began to cry.

"Guardian Wu, don't cry for the first time." Qian Jiang's attitude was a little stiff. Thinking about it, you, Wu Shuibao, both public and private, want to take revenge with the east wind. This is right, but you shouldn't have concealed it and acted privately without reporting it. This has caused the current situation. So many people died and tied you up without coming up. It is already very embarrassing.

"Although your action this time is not considered as fake public-private and private, you can only say that it is used both public-privately, but you actually conceal and act without reporting it. This is a serious violation of discipline. But you must wait until you take Zhao Wu down before you talk about it."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! You are right. I am eager to take revenge. I was blinded by hatred and killed many comrades. It is not an exaggeration to cut me into pieces. But please give me a chance to redeem my sins and let me kill Zhao Wu, who is a goddamn person. Afterwards, even if you light the sky lantern, I will be grateful to the great kindness and virtues in the organization in the next life."

"Okay, Township Mayor Wu, the situation is urgent, so we won't talk about these problems afterwards. The current situation is that the team has arrived and is deploying. You must take your people to withstand me for a while. After we have completed the large siege of Zhao Wu, we will cooperate with the Red Army to take Zhao Wu down." Speaking of this, Qian Jiang raised his lips slightly and smiled: "Secretary Wu, my personal suggestion: Since the bandits do not know that our Red Army is coming, let them be proud for a while. Conceal the news first and give them a big surprise at that time."

"Okay! This method is good." As he said that, Wu Shuibao asked tentatively: "Squad Leader Qian, I don't actually know how to fight. You are indeed a good expert in this field. Do you think you are here to command it yourself?"

"No, you are in good command now, but your weapons are not as good as people. No wonder you, let your comrades stick to it."

With the news that the Red Army had arrived at the bottom, Wu Shuibao was immediately full of confidence. He was full of energy and shouted excitedly to boost morale. Even if some people were about to be unable to resist, they came to ask him to order a retreat soon. Wu Shuibao actually muttered in the other party's ear with a smile. The other party immediately looked up at Qian Jiang who was shooting at the bandits in surprise, and then rushed back excitedly. The opponent sent the team members to give the order that they could not retreat even if they died. Although they faced the situation, they had retreated before, but now they were dragging the enemy. This mentality was different, and their morale was naturally different. Time, not only resisted the bandits' attack, but also vaguely gained the upper hand.

What Qian Jiang wanted was that he could persevere until the Red Army entered, because he believed that the Red Army would never be able to leave behind his comrades. The reason why the platoon leader had not launched an attack was that he was deploying.

As long as you visit the front line in person, you can usually keenly capture the slight changes in local wars.

The Self-Defense Force, which had a faint defeat before, suddenly became extremely tough, and several places were even taken back by the Self-Defense Force. Zhao Wu did not understand the truth, so he could only wishfully attribute this to the death struggle of the Self-Defense Force. So, in anger, he actually took the lead in charge. Not to mention, with his leadership, the morale of the bandits had really improved, and he screamed and rushed into the village with him.

In time, the two sides were hard to solve, and the battle between the two rooms and the paths had to be repeatedly rushed, and many places had already begun to fight hand-to-hand combat.

About twelve minutes later, just in the fierce stage of fighting between the two sides, the Red Army was deployed and immediately launched an attack. This was a real rush.

"Dou!Dou!Dou"

The charge sounded, Huang Debao jumped up, waved his right hand forward, and took the lead in charge and shouted: "Comrades, rush!"

"Kill!"

"Snatch the gun and don't kill it!"

"Catch the big bandit Zhao Wu alive!"

As the sound of shouting and killing sounds, Red Army soldiers jumped out of the forest beside the village, and rushed into the village like tigers going down the mountain.

"Ba!Ba!Ba"

"Bang!Bang!Bang"

"Ka! Da! Da"

Almost at the same time, shouting and gunfire came from all directions, which scared the bandits fighting. They were fighting with the members of the Self-Defense Force just now, but now they only have an idea in their hearts: if they don’t run away, they will die!

But when the members of the Self-Defense Force who had just fought hard with them saw the Red Army coming, their morale was great, and they would not allow these bandits to escape. They immediately used their might to hold their opponents.

Zhao Wu was not giving up. Although he hurriedly ran to the tiger cave under the protection of his confidant, he ran halfway through the road and was fanciful and wanted to turn the situation around with the two light machine guns. As a result, the Red Army also had two light machine guns on the side of the Red Army and were assigned to the town self-defense team so that they could block the enemy's retreat. Before he could finish the magazine, he decisively ran away with the two light machine guns.

But it has to be said that it was he who decisively retreated. Afterwards, although he encountered the blockade of the Self-Defense Force, it was precisely because of the cover of these two light machine guns that he could still bring some people back to the Tiger Cave.

Seizing the opportunity, at the most critical moment, the Red Army defeated the bandits with just one charge. Then, after the bandits who wanted to follow Zhao Wu to escape back to the Tiger Cave were blocked by the Self-Defense Force, they fled in all directions, but they were in the minds of the Self-Defense Force and the independent platoon of prisoners, and there were figures of arresting bandits everywhere. A total of 124 bandits were captured, dozens of them were killed, and there were only 40 or 50 bandits who followed Zhao Wu back to the Tiger Cave. In addition to the dozens of bandits who had guarded the Tiger Cave, he probably had at most 80 subordinates. You should know that Zhao Wu had more than 200 subordinates before, although he claimed to have 500 subordinates.

Since they were surrounded, the other party had no other way out. The tired and hungry Red Army commanders and soldiers were naturally not in a hurry to attack the Tiger Cave immediately, but to rescue the wounded, find out the situation in the cave, and comfort the villagers.

Although he captured more than a hundred bandits in the battle, Zhang Qingshan was in a bad mood. In his eyes, not to mention these more than a hundred prisoners, even if he captured all the bandits in the world, it would not be more important than Xiang Zedong's life. What's more, he didn't have time to bid farewell to his comrades for the last time. Looking at his remains, Zhang Qingshan felt very guilty.

"Squad leader, before sacrificing to brother, please give me this to you." Zhou Baoyu handed Zhang Qingshan a five-cornered red star that was obviously pulled off from the brim of the hat to wipe his tears: "He said that when the revolution is victorious, I hope you burn this five-cornered red star, so that he will know that we will be happy for us. He also said that comrades don't have to be sad for him, because he died in battle to save the great goal of saving the working people of the world. There is nothing more meaningful than this."

As he was talking, Zhou Baoyu couldn't continue to speak, so he squatted on the ground, hugging his head and cried. The comrades around him were already sad, and when they heard this, many people also cried.

Zhang Qingshan's eyes were red and his expression was sad, but he grabbed the five-cornered red star tightly, and sweared in his heart: When the revolution is victorious, he will definitely erect a monument to these martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the revolution, so that future generations can remember the efforts of the martyrs and the hard-won revolution.
