Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Taipinggou is located three miles west of Shili Village, Shili Township. Although it is called Taipinggou, Taipinggou is not peaceful at all these days!
On October 10, the Japanese invaders launched a sweep, and the cadres in the Taiyue District notified all the people in the base area to prepare for the enemy! The so-called "fortifying the walls and clearing the fields" is actually an idiom that originated from "The Biography of Xun Yu" in "The Records of the Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Chen Shou of the Western Jin Dynasty".

Jianbei Qingye: It means to hold the fortifications firmly to prevent the enemy from entering the position; to clear the food houses in the suburbs so that the enemy cannot fight for a long time due to lack of food and shelter; it is a combat strategy that makes the enemy have no supplies and facilities to use even after capturing the stronghold. As the defending party, the Eighth Route Army is best at mobilizing the masses, and Jianbei Qingye is a good way to deal with the enemy!

Therefore, under the leadership of the Taiyue District, the roads were dug from the outside to the inside to prevent the enemy from marching quickly, and then the people in each village were transferred. Those who could hide in the tunnels hid in the tunnels, and those who did not have tunnels but had mountains and forests around the village also moved to the mountains and forests. At the same time, the militias in each village were actively active, and the children's group also took on the responsibility of sentry.

In short, this is a people's war, because the victory or defeat of this war is related to the life and property safety of all the people in the base area.

After the battle of clearing the countryside, the Japanese invaders also came. The Eighth Route Army began to block the enemy in sections. The battle of clearing the countryside also played its due role! Although the Japanese engineers could repair the dug mountain roads and highways with the puppet troops, it would take time and physical strength, and even material costs; if the Japanese invaders could not grab food, the Japanese baggage soldiers could transport the puppet troops to the front line, but this would also increase the time cost and material investment.

Therefore, it was not until five days later that the Japanese troops gradually penetrated into the Taiyue base and reached Shili Township.

The Japanese invaders came, and the Eighth Route Army blocked them. However, the Japanese invaders were fierce, so the Eighth Route Army did not fight them to death. Instead, they fought and retreated, engaging in a seesaw battle with the Japanese invaders. And Taipinggou Village was a point in the seesaw battle with the Japanese invaders!

Because it is close to Shili Village, where the 20th Company of the 9th Regiment is stationed, the militia in Taipinggou has developed very well. There are more than 300 militias in a village of more than 30 people. In addition, the village has a complete tunnel, which can even lead directly to the tunnel of Shili Village. These days, the people of Taiping Village are in a panic. They dare not leave the village day or night, and hide in the tunnel when there is something wrong.

Finally, on October 10, a part of the Japanese army was sent to Shili Village. The 7th Company came into contact with the Japanese and exchanged fire. The battle line finally spread to Taiping Village.

The Japanese liked to use small units to make detours when fighting, so the 9th Company also separated a squad and took the militia from Shili Village to defend the village. As a result, on the 7th, more than 50 Japanese soldiers, armed with extra grenade launchers and light machine guns, quietly arrived outside Taipinggou Village, and then stepped on a landmine...

The Japanese invaders were coming, and the 9th Company in the east was notified quickly by using a homemade telephone and word-of-mouth. In the village, the comrades of the 9th squad of the 5th company led the village militia, using the bunker on the village wall, two shotguns, a dozen double-barreled hunting rifles and homemade rifles of the militia, and a large number of grenades... Of course, there was also the 5th squad's own equipment, and they fought the Japanese invaders for a whole day.

It's not to mention that although the shotgun and double-barreled shotguns can fire very close, the scattered pellets can always cause damage to the Japanese, so in one day, more than 30 Japanese were killed at the entrance of the village. Of course, the village was also blown up by the Japanese grenade launchers, and many houses were blown out with big holes.

After holding out for a day, the Eighth Route Army retreated, and they retreated quietly at night, so on the 8th, the Japanese entered the village. Of course, the Eighth Route Army in the village had already left, and the militia had already hidden in the tunnel, so the Japanese naturally didn't see anyone. Then, the Japanese were so vigilant that they didn't search through boxes and cabinets for things, but carefully patrolled the village. Even when entering the door of the people's house, they first looked up, then looked down, and finally carefully pushed the door to enter the yard. In this way, they had to first check whether there was an ambush at the windows of the main room and the wing rooms.

The Japanese's caution made the militiamen feel that their efforts were in vain, because the militiamen had learned how to set up those booby traps for a long time, but when the Japanese came to their doorstep, they didn't even use them!
What booby traps are there? Door-opening mines, right? The kind with grenades hanging on the front door and fuses hanging on the door? Even children know this! There are also canister mines, jar mines, basket mines, chicken coop mines... In short, wherever the Japanese like to rummage around, they hang grenades and then put trip wires on the place...

As a result... the Japanese didn't fall for it. Do you think the militiamen were in a good mood? Well, it's not that the Japanese have become civilized. It's that the Japanese have suffered enough in the past few days and have become smarter! Because the Japanese also saw with their own eyes that some comrades kicked open the door and were blown up, and saw some people enter the people's house first, but the door was a trap and they lost their lives...

In short, the Japanese did not fall for the militia's expectations. Instead, they set fire to the village and burned many houses.

The Japanese set fire, and the militiamen felt suffocated and uncomfortable with the smoke. They decisively hid in the tunnel, closed the small door to prevent gas gas, and waited for the Japanese to leave in a suffocating manner.

The Japanese didn't stay in the village for long, because the 9th Company, which had been transferred, launched another attack on the Japanese in the north, attracting the Japanese troops to gradually move north, and then left Taiping Village and Shili Village. However, after the Japanese army left, some Japanese puppet troops came from the south, and some people shouted in the village, trying to trick the people out.

However, the people, who had long been afraid of being cheated, knew what kind of morals the Japanese puppet army was, so they did not fall for it. In this way, the people hid in the tunnel for several days, and even the militia who sneaked out to check the situation did not find their own team, so everyone had to stay in the tunnel and wait.

Fortunately, the autumn harvest had just begun, and the people had made pancakes, boiled sweet potatoes, and brought pickles into the tunnels, so they didn't starve. As for drinking water? The tunnels were connected to the village's well, and a spring was even accidentally dug up when the tunnels were dug. Although the spring was not big, it was a pool of water with a diameter of two meters and a depth of more than three meters, enough for drinking!

There is even a canal in the tunnel that leads the spring water out of the tunnel... Of course, no one wants to be without the sun every day! Even those who stay up late in the future can see the sun when they sleep during the day!

One day, two days, three days... If they didn't get out, they might lose their lives. The people really didn't want to stay in the tunnel. It could be said that they were waiting to the limit.

Finally, when the army was about to collapse, the people heard the news from the militia - our main force has returned, and the villagers can go back to their homes! (End of this chapter)
