Section 38 Battle in Dongguan (4)
Zhangmutou is a small town surrounded by mountains. After the Guangjiu Railway tore open the mountain in front, it passes through Zhangmutou Town and heads towards Jiulong. Zhangmutou has no Chen Jun, only dozens of policemen. When they see the police officers of the 7th Company, they run away. The people from the 7th Company did not have the strength to chase them. They were so tired that they were breathing like a dog. What they wanted to do most was to find a place to rest.
After Zhuang Jihua led his people to the railway station in the town, the people at the railway station immediately scattered in panic. The soldiers of the 7th Company ignored them and looked for a chair and lay down. The soldiers behind them sat on the ground casually. After the rest, Zhuang Jihua felt a little more strength and stood up and shouted: "Every row to count the number of people. Hurry up."
After a while, platoon leaders from various groups came to report. Before the third platoon leader Du Yuming arrived, the person who came to report was Deputy platoon leader Tang Qijun. Zhuang Jihua calculated silently in his mind that there were only 89 people in the entire company, and about 30 people were still on the way.
I don’t know what happened to Changping? It’s best if the enemy is wiped out in Changping, so I won’t have to fight to the death. Although I was so looking forward to it, I didn’t dare to put my hope on it.
Then Zhuang Jihua took out the map and discussed the defense with several platoon leaders. Zhuang Jihua decided to put the main force in the town, and Hu Zongnan led a platoon to defend on the mountain outside the town. Then Hu Zongnan led his men up the mountain, and Zhuang Jihua arranged fortifications in the town.
The workers at the train station saw the group of soldiers wearing red ribbons busy building sandbags. One of the workers came to ask if they were the Eastern Expedition Army. After receiving a positive answer, the workers ran away with a smile. The deputy platoon leader Tang Qijun, who answered, was puzzled. After a while, the worker brought a young man with a slightly dark face. The young man introduced himself that he was the chairman of the Zhangmutou Trade Union and wanted to meet the highest commander of this army.
The young man was soon brought to Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua and Cao Yuan were laying fortifications at the entrance of the town. After the young man came over, he introduced himself: "My name is Huang Mincheng, and he is the chairman of the railway union in Zhangmutou. The organization has already sent a notice and said that he would fight against Chen in the east. We have been looking forward to you."
Zhuang Jihua and Cao Yuan immediately became happy when they heard about it. Zhuang Jihua asked him: "How many people do you mobilize now?"
"How many people do you need?" Huang Mingcheng didn't think at all.
"Of course, the more, the better." Zhuang Jihua was not polite either.
"Comrade, our people have not arrived yet, and the soldiers are also very tired and are not familiar with the situation in the town." Comrade said, Huang Mingcheng knew that this was a comrade in the party, and his eyes looked at Cao Yuan a little more intimate. "You can find more people to help us repair fortifications. You can also introduce us to the situation in the town."
"No problem." Huang Mingcheng looked at the busy soldiers around him: "Ashui, go find someone and find all the people from the trade union and peasant association, hurry up."
Asshan agreed to run away, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly called him: "Also, send a few people to the south and southeastern sides to see if there are any enemies." A Shui agreed and ran away. Zhuang Jihua shouted at his back with concern: "You must send someone, remember, it is the south and southeastern sides."
After Huang Mingcheng waited for Zhuang Jihua to finish calling, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. It won't be a mistake." Only then did he remember that he had not introduced him to others.
"Comrade Mingcheng, this is our company commander Zhuang Jihua, a member of the Kuomintang. I am the party representative Cao Yuan and the member of the **."
Huang Mingcheng immediately stretched out his hands with a smile on his face and held Cao Yuan's hand, then shook hands with Zhuang Jihua, saying that you kept saying, "It's great." Huang Mingcheng's appearance made Zhuang Jihua feel bitter.
Before the union workers arrived, a soldier ran to the front to report that something was wrong. Zhuang Jihua and Cao Yuan immediately ran to the entrance of the town. When they arrived at the entrance of the town, Zhuang Jihua squatted in a corner and looked out. More than a hundred people came over the opposite side. The person walking in the front was holding a flag. The flag was very strange, rectangular, with the word "Meng" embroidered on it. The team behind was very long. Seeing the other party rushing to the road, it was probably not known that the camphor wood had been stuck.
Zhuang Jihua signaled to hide, and then whispered: "No order is allowed to shoot." All the soldiers lowered their bodies, and the machine gunner Daniu gently pulled the load. The enemy got closer and closer, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. Wu Ziniu relaxed his hand holding the gun, and then grabbed it again. He now admired the young company commander, but he didn't expect the company commander to be so calm and he didn't order to shoot even when he was almost fifty meters.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Zhuang Jihua's low voice came from beside him. When the enemy was thirty meters away, even the eyebrows of the person opposite could be seen clearly. Wu Ziniu was a little anxious.
"Bang", the flag-holding soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, and the gunshot was a signal. The big bull's machine gun crackled and exploded. All the soldiers of the seventh company appeared. The enemy fell down immediately. Zhuang Jihua yelled: "Blow the charge horn. Catch!" Amid the strong charge horn, Cao Yuan yelled on the left and jumped out of the fortifications on the right, rushing towards the enemy.
"Catch!" "Kill!" The soldiers of the Seventh Company followed the two and killed each other. The enemy was stunned by the scattered guns. They only heard a sound of killing. I don't know how many people came to kill, so they turned around and ran away. The Seventh Company chased them reluctantly. Zhuang Jihua learned from the lesson last time, and did not charge, but climbed onto the roof and looked into the distance. Seeing that he was chasing, another group of people emerged from the flanks and launched a fierce attack on the enemy in the waist. After being hit by this group of people, the enemy became even more insane. Many people dropped their guns, raised their hands and knelt on the side of the road. The people cut off the enemy's guard troops, and the surrounded enemies surrendered almost without any battle. The enemy in front took the opportunity to run away. Seeing this, Zhuang Jihua knew that this first battle was considered a winner, and he would not be able to take advantage of it. So he said to the sentry: "Blow the trumpet and ask them to come back."
The first battle was won, more than 20 enemies were killed, thirty-four prisoners were captured, and more than 70 guns were seized, including a machine gun. Seeing the soldiers' cheerful look, Zhuang Jihua had no smile at all.
As soon as the prisoner was taken back, he went to interrogate him, which shocked him. The enemies in front of him not only included Yuan Xia's nine tribes who retreated from Shi Long, but also Meng Xianxiang's tribe who went to reinforce, with a total force of more than 1,200 people.
The one who came out of the flank was Du Yuming, who was then placed in the fallen soldiers behind him. He discovered the enemy when he approached Zhangmutou. He immediately hid. When the gunfire sounded here, he launched an attack from the flank.
Zhuang Jihua called Cao Yuan, Song Xilian and Du Yuming aside and told them what they had just obtained. Zhuang Jihua found that the three of them were not worried at all, but were very excited. Song Xilian said: "Okay, I didn't go there in vain. I finally blocked them after working so hard."
Zhuang Jihua said: "The blockage is blocked, but we only have more than 120 people, but the enemy has more than 1,100 people, ten times that of ours. We caught the enemy off guard just now, and it will not be so cheap next time. If the main force of the regiment cannot arrive on time, how long can we stop it?" It was a bit tricky to hear Zhuang Jihua say this.
"Pu Quan, let's go find Chairman Huang. I want to discuss some things with him." Zhuang Jihua brought Cao Yuan to find Huang Mingcheng.
Huang Mingcheng had just watched a wonderful ambush station and was still excited. When he saw the two commanders coming, he came forward and said, "Have fun, it's so good." Zhuang Jihua asked him with a smile: "Do you want to have some fun?" Huang Mingcheng was stunned, his smile a little stiff: "There is something in the words of Company Commander Zhuang."
Zhuang Jihua was not polite, and told him the situation in detail. Huang Mingcheng asked in confusion: "Company Commander Zhuang, just say whatever you want us to do, and we will never refuse."
Zhuang Jihua is very sure that Cao Yuan is here, and you can't refuse.
"We have seized more than 70 guns. I want to use these guns to arm the workers. Of course, we will not let you participate in the battle before we die, but after we die, I hope you can continue to block the enemy here and persevere until the main force arrives."
Cao Yuan now understood what Zhuang Jihua was trying to do, but he couldn't help but secretly applaud. If Chairman Huang agreed, then the 7th Company would increase the strength of two platoons out of thin air and would at least last longer.
Huang Mingcheng thought about it and asked, "The war is over, are these guns left to us?"
"Of course it's okay. After the fight, I can give you another hundred pieces. If one hundred pieces are not enough, then two hundred pieces, three hundred pieces." Zhuang Jihua said without caring; Cao Yuan couldn't help but interrupt, "Cultural Revolution, don't make wishes randomly, there are so many guns."
"Yes, we don't have one, the enemy has one, they have 1,200." Zhuang Jihua blinked at Cao Yuan cunningly. Cao Yuan smiled suddenly with enlightenment: "Cultural Revolution, you are so smart."
Huang Mingcheng didn't care whose gun it was, as long as it was a gun. As soon as Zhuang Jihua agreed, he immediately went to summon people. Zhuang Jihua asked Du Yuming to lead two people to conduct emergency training for the workers. The key was to teach them how to shoot guns and throw grenades.
