Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Many years later, a reporter interviewed a member of the militia at that time and asked him to recall the battle against the Japanese invaders.

Ge Erdan, the militia captain who is already in his seventies and has many children and grandchildren, said with emotion: "Then let me tell you about the attack on Ping'an County back then..."

Remember to show anticipation on your face.

"That night, we suddenly received a notice from our superiors to gather our village militia, carrying weapons, dry food and water, to attack Pingnan County. We organized the militia in our village and walked for most of the night. Finally, at dawn, we arrived at Ping'an County and received the task from our superiors - carrying red tasseled spears, carrying sandbags, and marching back and forth in a queue..."

The reporter took notes with a pen, waiting for the next exciting story.

"We walked for a while and rested for a while, and then we saw our modified trucks and tanks, which were the ones parked outside the museum. They drove over from the east and fired a cannon at the gate of Ping'an County, blowing it up. Then we received an order from our superiors to light the small fire whips we brought and put them in a tin barrel, so we did it!"

"After setting off a string of firecrackers, we had nothing to do, so we just waited there. We waited for less than an hour when the signal flares were fired..."

Reporter: "What happened next? There must have been a battle with guns and bullets flying everywhere. That must have been very exciting, right?"

"Then nothing happened. Less than a minute after the signal flare was fired, a white flag was hung on the city gate, and Ping'an County was liberated! Oh, it was said that it was the special forces who did it, but we don't know the details..."

Reporter: So you are the only one who has made up the number?

Well, although the battle in Ping'an County was not as simple as Ge Erdan said, it was actually not much more difficult! The devils at the four city gates were killed by the special forces in less than a minute. Then these special forces, who were at least squad leaders in the puppet army, easily controlled the puppet army team, made them lay down their weapons and surrender, and hung a white flag to indicate safety.

Inside the city, the Japanese city defense headquarters was hit by eight mortar shells within one minute after the signal flare was launched. The entire courtyard was filled with holes and the roof of the main house was destroyed. Two mortar shells even penetrated the roof and exploded inside the house.

Just as the Japanese soldiers in the command center and the gendarmerie were screaming and screaming in panic and were busy rescuing the wounded, the special forces members mixed in with the puppet police and the detective team appeared outside the courtyard of the command center and easily entered the command center.

The Japanese soldiers and military police had no doubts about the identities of these comrades, because many of them were familiar faces and had even drunk together. Therefore, the Japanese called on these special forces to get to work quickly and rescue Commander Ogura.

Then, these Japanese soldiers saw the last scene of their lives - the pistols held in the hands of the special forces soldiers, and the muzzle flames spurting out of the black muzzles of the pistols.

This is actually the case. There is no complicated process. It is just firing - re-firing - confirming safety. Of course, such a simple task also depends on who is responsible for it! Special forces members are familiar with such tasks and do it effortlessly because they have a record of killing the enemy, as well as strict training. Everyone has strong military qualities. If it were an ordinary team, it might not be so smooth!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the special forces spent more than half a year infiltrating and finally took control of the entire city’s puppet army, most of the puppet police, and half of the detective team.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure you a hundred battles without danger. This is the truth. The ancients were not deceiving us!

Ping'an County was liberated. Although it was only temporary, this news was extremely exciting! Of course, there was no time to be happy now, because there were more important highlights to be staged, and there was more than one highlight!
Outside the city, Bai Dashan hurried over and saw Guo Zhongmin. He did not salute and both sides went straight to the point.

"Captain, Ping'an County has been taken, and all the material warehouses in the city have been controlled by our special forces. In addition, the Japanese-owned companies and shops have also been taken over. Some rebellious overseas Chinese have been suppressed on the spot, and the rest have been detained. Now, we need manpower, at least one company of main forces to be responsible for military deterrence, and more militia and transport teams to transport the seized materials out of the city!" Bai Dashan spoke his request at a very fast speed.

"The situation is clear. The 5th Company will stay and temporarily garrison Ping'an County. The Japanese from Yangquan in the north have already moved south. The main st Regiment and the Independent Regiment are planning to eat them up. I will take the rest of the team there. You will stay and be temporarily responsible for the security and material transportation of Ping'an County. By the way, the comrades from the Pingdong District Committee will be here later, and you will act with them!" Guo Zhongmin was unwilling to just be a part of the group, so he decided to go north to fight the Yangquan reinforcements.

"Oh, okay then. Where's the phone number? I'll go apply to the detachment and see if we can transfer some manpower. At least we need to prepare a warehouse to receive the supplies." Bai Dashan said.

"The phone is over there, go!" Guo Zhongmin pointed to the location of the phone and walked down the mountain. He had to organize manpower and dispatch troops, and it would be best if he could get there before the battle in the north started. Well, his wish was very good, but the chance of it coming true was not very high.

Bai Dashan quickly called the detachment and informed Zhao Danian about the situation in Ping'an County.

"Captain, we have seized 36 enemy trucks, 25 war horses, more than guns and ammunition, and more than a dozen material warehouses... By the way, the puppet soldiers of the puppet imperial army brigade have captured two prisoners, and the detachment headquarters is also needed to take over..."

"Haha, just go and do it with confidence. Stabilize the situation in Ping'an County first and don't let the people get into trouble. The detachment's transport team has already set off, and the convoy will arrive in about 10 minutes. With the horse-drawn carriages, it will take at most an hour to reach Ping'an County! Now is not the time to discuss how much supplies have been seized, but there is one thing you have to remember, everything that belongs to the Japs must be brought back! Don't leave even a single nail behind!" Zhao Danian said.

"Don't worry, Captain. I won't leave even a single brick for the Japanese! Hehe..." Bai Dashan put down the phone and instructed the special forces members who came with him, "You guys, ride your horses and go to the four city gates to call for help immediately! Aren't there many comrades from the county brigade here? Let them stay and help. In the end, we will give them a portion of the weapons seized!"

"Yes, Captain!" (End of this chapter)
