On February 17, the Japanese army attacked Dongyang Pass. The 178th Division of the Sichuan Army fought with the 108th Division of the Japanese Army for three days and nights, killing and wounding more than a thousand Japanese troops. In the end, the Sichuan Army suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from the battle. In this battle, the Sichuan Army

There were more than 2,000 casualties, but no one escaped or surrendered, which completely demonstrated the majesty and morale of the Chinese soldiers!

The Mixiong-level puppet army Wang Ying of Xiayuan Dynasty subsequently occupied Licheng, Lucheng, Changzhi and other counties, and launched attacks on major cities in the surrounding areas.

The main force was still in harmony, and some were on the way. Just before the battle was about to break out, Zhao Hu and the others were dispatched.

On the second day of February, when the dragon raises its head, it is appropriate to open the market for trading and secretly seek wealth; during the Zi period, it is appropriate to break ground for construction and commit murder and arson!

Carrying three flashlights, he set out at dark and arrived before dawn on the 70-80 mile journey. Zhao Hu asked Director Lin to lead the troops and carriages to hide first, while he took five elite soldiers selected from the company to go out for reconnaissance.

The five are the two brothers Shen Yuguo and Shen Yumin, sharpshooters, who were born in Orion; veteran Xu Hongyuan, who is good at machine guns and has fought mortars. The other two are Zhang Youfa and Chen Dashan, who were also born in Orion.

A while ago, these five people were given extra training by Zhao Hu. Since their shooting level was already at the highest level, regardless of fixed or moving targets, Zhao Hu gave them five more twenty-ring rifles.

The shell gun, plus a few people who have done a good job in reconnaissance, camouflage, traps, tracking and combat, are already the best candidates they can find.

Among the five people, the two Shen brothers still had two 38-type sniper rifles, and the others all had twenty-shot rifles, but each one was equipped with a fine steel dagger, which Xiaoshang used in the warehouse when he was free.

Made of some leftover materials, it is sharp and sharp. Once you get started, several people will never let go of it.

The sky was quiet, and the first quarter moon would not appear until dawn. At this time, only the occasional starlight flashing behind the clouds could be seen, adding to the silence of the night.

A few people took advantage of the reflection of the snow on the roadside to walk on the dark but frozen road. It was so cold at this time that even dogs didn't want to come out, and not a single person was seen along the way.

Xu Hongyuan saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he quietly asked: "Company commander, are you sure that the Japanese will definitely set up the arsenal in the Wang family's granary at the gate of the city? Don't draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing. It will be a loss if you fail to do so in this cold weather."

Already."

Zhao Hu smiled: "You don't have to look at any other house in the whole Licheng that has the style of the Wang family's courtyard. The courtyard is deep and the walls are thick. In addition, his granary is only separated from the city wall by a road, and it is the entire county.

The strongest fortress, moisture-proof and moth-proof, it would be unreasonable for the Japanese not to place their armory there."

Zhang Youfa suddenly realized: "I asked why the company commander led us to dig and dig out. It turned out that he was interested in the Japanese arsenal. I didn't tell the company commander that as long as he can get in today, I will definitely give him all the bezoars and dog treasures inside."

come out."

The small town was built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Over the years, the city gradually became overcrowded. Later, some people started to build some illegal buildings along the moat. In addition, the government thought that the age of weapons was now hot, so they just closed down these illegal buildings.

Money doesn't matter.

In a shantytown in the northwest corner, there is a man-made drainage ditch that discharges domestic sewage into the moat. The Japanese have just occupied this place, and both the shantytown and the city are deserted. They see that the city is high and the walls are thick, so they don’t have to travel often.

When they went out on patrol, they were even less interested in the buildings that were about to collapse in the wind, because there was so much rubbish here that if it hadn't been for winter, it would have made people sick.

Since Licheng was right in the middle of the Han-Chang Highway, the Japanese army saw that there was no one in the city, so it happened to be used as an arms reserve base. In Lucheng in the south, they had heavy troops stationed, and they were not afraid that anyone would dare to attack.

Leaving two sharpshooters standing guard outside, Zhao Hu and four others slid into the moat along the drainage ditch. It was winter now, the water level was shallow, and the river had already frozen. A few people in white cloaks were crawling on the river and could not see anything.

Not coming out.

Zhang Youfa took everyone on a familiar road to the foot of the city wall. He peeled away the covering of snow and thatch, and a small hole that could only allow one person to pass through was clearly visible. This was the place he had discovered after chasing a rabbit while hunting. It turned out that

It actually leads to this wealthy family!

It can be seen that at any time, every big family living in the city has an escape tunnel. Since the Wang family evacuated earlier, this escape tunnel was not used, which was an advantage to Zhao Hu and others.

Seeing that the mechanism in the secret passage was intact, several people filed in and quietly entered the city. The exit was a firewood shed of the Wang family. Zhang Youfa gently pushed away a dry firewood and listened to the noise outside. When he found no one, he stepped away.

I went out and moved some thorny firewood away. A few people came out and found that it was still quiet outside the firewood shed, so they felt relieved.

Diagonally next to the woodshed is the Wang family's kitchen, and opposite the kitchen, there is a garbage pool full of garbage. In the past, when there were people in this house, long-term workers would clean it regularly. After the Japanese occupation, it was even less likely that they would take care of this smelly area.

A place to coax.

Several people picked up their forks and gently pushed aside a small pile of garbage. A wooden board was revealed. When they opened the board, there was a deep, dark hole inside. This is where Zhao Hu led everyone for two consecutive nights during the evacuation of the city a few days ago.

work results.

The small hole is not deep, and it is filled with clay, lime, etc., which is the cushioning layer of the Wang family's warehouse. As long as you dig deeper and dig up the masonry, you can enter the granary!

Time was tight, so Zhao Hu asked Chen Dashan to stand guard at the alley. Xu Hongyuan went out of the city to report the news, and he and Zhang Youfa began to dig holes.

The cushion was very dry, and it didn't take long before it hit a hard object. Just as Zhang Youfa was about to expand the opening, he heard a squeaking mouse coming from outside, and he quickly stopped.

On the city wall, a group of Japanese soldiers lined up neatly. When they patrolled nearby, they suddenly shouted loudly. They heard two puppet soldiers begging for mercy. Then they heard several slaps in the mouth and saw two beaten soldiers.

The sleepy puppet soldiers woke up a lot, and then the Japanese army left with satisfaction.

Hearing that there were puppet troops above, Zhao Hu and Zhang Youfa became more careful with their movements. After tearing off a large brick, the air suddenly became fresh and clear.

The two gray-faced people climbed onto the ground. Zhao Hu took out the cloth-covered flashlight and shone it quietly. Sure enough, the various boxes around him were neatly stacked. This trip was not in vain.

When I walked to the door, through the crack in the door, I saw two Japs walking around boredly on the snow outside. Fortunately, they had a strong sense of safety and were seven or eight meters away from the warehouse.

After a while, Xu Hongyuan brought people over. He did not enter the warehouse, but lined up in the cave. Zhao Hu and Zhang Youfa began to carefully move the supplies. The first target was the grenade, and then grenades and Japanese grenades. Anyway,

The Japanese ammunition boxes were all marked, and each small box was quickly relayed to the ruins outside the moat.

Everyone was careful, for fear of making any noise. The Japanese blankets were spread on the ground. Even if the boxes were dropped, they would not make a sound. In this way, boxes were passed one after another, and Chen Dashan was surprised to find that on the high wall, two

The puppet soldiers only took a few steps before their voices disappeared again, and they hid in an unknown corner for shelter from the wind.

The little north wind was blowing loudly, and it also blew away the slightest sound. The people in the cave couldn't stand upright in the cave. They were so tired after only passing a few boxes that they had to change to another group of people to continue.

Zhao Hu and Zhang Youfa had towels wrapped around their feet. They thought it was too slow to lift them, so they finally moved one and stuffed them into the hole. Soon, sweat soaked their underwear and penetrated their cotton-padded jackets, but this was not the time to rest.

, as the materials in the warehouse gradually decreased, Zhao Hu decisively stopped moving.

"Okay, if we move any further, our company won't be able to take it away, so we have to evacuate as soon as possible. You go down first, and I'll set up a booby trap inside!"

Hearing Zhao Hu's whisper, Zhang Youfa nodded, picked up another bullet box before leaving, and left without looking back.

After Zhang Youfa left, Zhao Hu inspected it again. There were no large items in the warehouse, such as mortars and 92 artillery pieces. These were all distributed to the Japanese troops, but the 70mm shells of the 92 artillery pieces were.

There are some, including 75 artillery shells, and four 92-weight guns that cannot be taken away.

Even though the 92 heavy machine gun was too heavy, Zhao Hu still didn't let it go. At least this thing was a heavy machine gun. In addition, he also brought some 70mm artillery shells and 75mm artillery shells, but that was enough. There were too many things and he couldn't do anything about it in the future.

It is also very distressing to take out the treasure and find it. I can only wait for the opportunity.

Seeing that all the bullets and grenades in the warehouse had been swept away, Zhao Hu placed a time bomb under the shell box and set up a trip mine with hand grenades at the door. As soon as the door was opened, a few Jin-made grenades would be fired.
Chapter completed!
