The country is broken

When the sun first rose, it was quiet in the small mountain, and the wooden fence had been completely covered with snow. More than 100 soldiers of the Japanese puppet army were cold and hungry, but they still could not hold up the hundreds of militiamen who sent a large number of soldiers. The snow fell for a whole night, without the warmth of the bonfire, and the snow and ice on the body took away the precious body temperature of the human body, and the half-starved physical strength almost became the god of death.

The wooden fence of the Yamazaki Squadron has become a real snow grave, and the militiamen did not encounter any resistance, and easily swarmed up.

Many soldiers of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were covered under the snow, their faces were ashen, exhausted, covered by the snow, the low temperature and suffocation, before death, the faces were hideous, the muscles were almost twisted, obviously the death was very painful, like the innocent souls who died in vain He tightly grabbed their throats, strangled them to death, and died in a miserable state.

Although it took such a time-consuming and laborious night, the militiamen still made a profit in killing the enemy.

The heinous executioner, Squadron Leader Yamazaki was frozen like a popsicle, and he no longer had the ferocity of the past, just like a fish taken out of the refrigerator, with its eyes bulging, its head tilted and frozen in a snowdrift, and the snow falling from the sky A piece of ice knocked him unconscious, and the result of passing out in the snow can be imagined. [

On January 24, [-], New Year’s Eve, every household slaughtered pigs and sheep to make enough New Year’s goods. Since the War of Resistance Against Japan, the people who have been plundered by the Japanese army have lived a precarious life in the wilderness. With the gradual strengthening of the team and the ability to protect the people in the base areas to develop production and construction with peace of mind, it is extremely rare for each base area to have a New Year's Eve when life improves.

When the masses started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner from the morning, the [-]th District Team came out in full force. In order to protect the soldiers and civilians in the base area to have a safe New Year's Eve, Wang Bao decided to take the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops once. The base area presented a New Year's "big gift".

Wang Baoneng changed his previous conservative policy of stalemate, and rarely made this battle plan, which was immediately supported by Li Wei and other militants with both hands and feet, and has been waiting for the enemy to fight.It was indeed very breathless. The Japanese army brigade in Renqiu County, the biggest threat near the base area, was seriously injured, and the morale of other strongholds was hit accordingly. Under the timing of ebb and flow, the [-]th district team's initiative to attack is very appropriate.

On the day of Lunar New Year's Eve, the four companies divided into four directions to attack, and used strong forces to remove the enemy's strongholds along the way. Many dark lines in the strongholds controlled by the 28th District Team were destroyed before the [-]th District Team's team arrived. Start the uprising early.There was a one-time outbreak, killing a few stubborn pro-Japanese elements and Japanese soldiers in the stronghold, and even leading people in the stronghold directly voted for the team of the [-]th district team and merged into the soldiers of the [-]th district team. There were even a few Japanese.

Passing through a stronghold, pulling out a stronghold, the seeds that were originally buried inside the enemy and absorbed the nutrition of the enemy finally bore fruitful fruits. People and guns continued to merge into the teams of the [-]th district team and company along the way, and the troops of each company were like snowballs. continue to grow.The target of the attack.The Japanese and puppet troops fled without looking forward to the wind. When the Japanese and puppet troops attacked Shijing Town in Renqiu County, the traitors who jumped up and down and shouted that the [-]th district team was about to die were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs.They will face the [-]th district team's old score after autumn.

On New Year's Eve, on the hot kang, every household is full of sumptuous New Year's Eve dinners. It is rare to have the opportunity to see some meat and teeth during the busy year. The children have also received extra rewards from the adults. A piece of malt candy and a few small whips caused the children to fight happily.

Every family is looking forward to the New Year's Eve. There are still some voluntary militiamen with guns on their backs, patrolling and guarding the main roads at the intersections of the villages, silently guarding the New Year's Eve of thousands of families.

This Spring Festival is destined to be a peaceful and comfortable place for the soldiers and civilians in the base area.But for the enemy-occupied areas outside the base area, it is destined to be uneasy.

At four o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a train spewing out long white steam slowly entered Baoding Railway Station from the Pinghan Railway Line in the direction of Shijiazhuang. A Japanese officer hurried away from the train station.

The horse's hooves stepped on the frozen soil, like beating a small drum, and the team of cavalry coming out of Baoding City Railway Station galloped on the road leading to Gaoyang without stopping.

Although the road from Baoding to Gaoyang is called a highway, it is still full of potholes, and the horse team still has to slow down frequently.Go around pits of different sizes so as not to twist the horseshoe.

The breath exhaled by the people and horses was quickly condensed by the low temperature into large groups of white mist.

"Master Yamamoto!" The Japanese cavalry captain in front of the cavalry turned his head on his bumpy horseback and said to an officer in the middle of the team with the Major's logo on his shoulder: "An hour ahead is Gaoyang County, and we will stop there for a while at noon." Let's take a break."

"No, it's better to hurry up and rush to Renqiu County as soon as possible, so as not to change things!" Major Yamamoto shook his head and said, Gaoyang's Yamazaki Squadron was destroyed, and the area around Gaoyang County was not as safe as before.

Coming out of Baoding Railway Station, Shao Zuo Yamamoto was almost in fear all the way. There was a lot of trouble on the Eighth Route Army some time ago. This time, the Shijiazhuang headquarters sent him to Renqiu County to serve as the captain. journey.

"That!~" The captain of the cavalry in front of the cavalry still understood the eagerness of Master Shao Zuo to rush to the post, nodded and said: "Your Excellency will have to work hard!" The road conditions are bad, and only the cavalry can display reliable mobility ability.

If it weren't for the first day of the new year during the Spring Festival, the activities of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas would be less, and this team of cavalry really didn't dare to gallop on the road in such a big way.

"Be careful! There have been frequent activities on the Eight Routes recently!" Major Yamamoto said solemnly. There were many people on the road. It seemed that most of the people were sleeping after the New Year's Eve vigil, and the chances of being exposed on the road were much less.

"Hi!" The cavalry shouted at the same time, after all, no one wanted to be targeted by the Eighth Route Army. [

Gaoyang County only had a small team of Japanese troops defending the city. As a weak county, Yamamoto Sanosuke and the escorting cavalry did not dare to stay longer. They only changed horses in Gaoyang County and started on the road again.

Still twenty miles away from Renqiu County, Sanosuke Yamamoto, who was in a hurry, suddenly slowed down his horse.

"What's wrong? Master Yamamoto!" The Japanese cavalry captain saw that the horse that Major Yamamoto was riding slowed down, and immediately pulled the reins to control the horse's pace.

"I've been driving for a day, and I'm a little hungry!" Sanosuke Yamamoto showed an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't have much experience in long-distance riding on horseback, and he refused to rest for a meal in Gaoyang County. , I finally couldn't stand the hunger, and my physical strength was severely exhausted, and I couldn't support it anymore.

The Japanese cavalry captain took out a piece of dry, hard and thick bread and a water bottle from his satchel and said: "Please use dry food, Sir, Renqiu County is twenty miles ahead, we will arrive soon, please persevere, Sir."

Looking at the dry pancakes in the hands of the cavalry captain and the dangling water jug ​​that seemed to have ice cubes in it, Major Yamamoto, who was used to eating hot meals in Shijiazhuang, swallowed his Adam's apple. How could this be eaten by humans? It was as hard as a stone. The same, it can almost be used as a weapon to smash a person's head, how can it be chewed.

But looking at the expressions of those cavalrymen who were used to it, they were also used to eating this kind of dry food as hard as a rock. Of course, Major Yamamoto would not regard himself as an ordinary soldier.

Yamamoto shook his head with an ugly expression, and said, "See if there is a restaurant nearby, and eat something warmer."

"It's not safe! The nearby eight roads..." The cavalry captain was interrupted by Yamamoto just after he said a few words.

"This is a public security area, and Renqiu County is in front of it. Eight roads wouldn't be so bold to come here, would they? Could it be that Shao Zuo Ono's ability to manage the public security area can reach this level?! What Tuba road is worried about in the public security area Running around?!" Major Yamamoto, who was a little dizzy from the fire of hunger, said impatiently, and now he only thought about having a hot meal to fill his stomach.

"This, this! Okay!" In the end, the cavalry captain did not dare to disobey his future boss, tilted his head and thought for a while: "There is a tea shop on the way here. I remember it is not far ahead. Is it open! We can go there and see!"

It was the first day of the new year, and it was within [-] miles outside Renqiu County. The fight was so fierce, after the big battle, the [-]th district team probably wouldn't have the strength to attack here. After all, the public security area is still controlled by the Japanese.

"Then go! It's an honor for them to open it for the Imperial Army if they haven't opened it yet!" Major Yamamoto waved his horsewhip, feeling really uncomfortable when he was hungry.

"Hi!" The Japanese cavalry captain nodded, and led the team to continue marching slowly in the direction of Renqiu County.

If it wasn't for Major Yamamoto clamoring for hot food, but because of the Japanese army's blockade policy, there are no residential houses around the road. I would be willing to bring the honorable Yamamoto-sama to such a lowly tea shop.

"It's there!" A sharp-eyed cavalry shouted, pointing to the front.

After walking for a few miles, I saw the tea shop mentioned by the cavalry captain. Just beside the road leading to Renqiu County, an unremarkable and simple wooden shed was built on half a mud wall. Picking up a rag curtain, you can barely see the word "tea" written in thick ink on it. It is a place where cart drivers and coolies who usually come and go come and go, drink tea and have some snacks. , generally known as chariot and horse shops, and some have extremely cheap kangs for passers-by to stay overnight. Obviously, this ordinary-looking chariot and horse shop is only half of the tea shed in the front, and the back is the place where the fire is cooked for some meals.
