Chapter 373 Autumn Harvest(1/2)
Zhaojiayu.
Under the night, several black shadows tiptoed to the top of the front mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain in front, looking down, you can clearly see the deep trench surrounding Zhaojiayu Village and the five bunkers distributed on the deep trench in Huancun.
Because outside the bunker, dozens of bonfires were lit along the trench.
This is a bonfire specially lit night lighting with a bonfire in order to prevent the infiltration of militia in Zhaojiayu Village.
Because of the light of fire, the militia dared to climb over the trenches and infiltrate, and the Japanese puppet army had the advantage of secretly attacking the light. The militia in Zhaojiayu did not know where the Japanese puppet army was hiding, so they had to suffer a great loss.
But the Japanese didn't know that the villagers in Zhaojiayu dug several deeper tunnels a few days ago, and bypassed the deep trenches around the village from below, reconnecting the tunnels inside and outside the village.
There is still a big error in this regard from Wang Ye’s previous estimate.
Wang Ye originally thought it would be easy to bypass the trench that was six meters deep.
However, it is not easy to operate in practice, because if you want to bypass a trench that is ten meters wide and six meters deep from the bottom, you have to choose a point from the village, dig at least ten meters down, then dig forward at least twenty meters, and then dig upwards. If the direction does not go off, you can open up the original tunnel outside the village in two or three days.
But if the direction goes off, there is no guarantee of this time.
Zhaojiayu was extremely lucky and it took nearly a month to dig it out.
But then again, Zhaojiayu is not the one with the worst luck.
The villages with the worst luck have not yet opened up the internal and external tunnels.
In fact, the main thing is that I don’t dare to dig up the ground directly, for fear of being discovered by the Japanese.
Otherwise, a tunnel leading to the outside of the village would have been dug directly for such a long time.
Fortunately, the internal and external tunnels of Zhaojiayu have been dug through, and Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yan and Mr. Li came out of one of the tunnels.
While Mr. Li was watching the crops, Li Yunlong raised his telescope to observe the bunkers outside the village.
After more than a month of confrontation, Li Yunlong has basically figured out the details of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the village.
There are five bunkers in total, one main fort. There are about seven Japanese, more than twenty puppet troops in the main fort, and a Czech light machine gun. The remaining four bunkers are sub-forts. Each sub-fort has only three Japanese, plus five puppet troops, and no machine guns. If there is no ten meters wide and six meters deep trench around the village, this is the amount of Japanese puppet troops that will deliver vegetables.
However, the tunnels inside and outside the village have been reopened, and the deep trench around the village is equivalent to not exist.
So now, Li Yunlong looked at these five bunkers again, and no matter how he looked like a piece of fat on his lips, it depends on when Li Yunlong had his mouth.
"Xiaozhuang, come here."
Li Yunlong waved, and Zhuang Yan quickly climbed over.
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I'll test you. If I take action now, how should I fight this battle?"
Zhuang Yan scratched his head and said, "First, the main fortress has the largest number of Japanese puppet troops, and there is also a light machine gun, which poses the greatest threat to our militia!"
"Not bad, there's progress."
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "So how should I fight the main castle?"
Zhuang Yan continued to scratch his head and said, "First use part of his troops to make the illusion of crossing the trench and attacking from the front, attracting the attention of the Japanese puppet army, and then the main force quietly leaves the village from the tunnel."
"When the Japanese were not paying attention, they raided from the back."
"That's it? No more?" Li Yunlong asked.
"It's gone." Zhuang Yan said embarrassedly.
"It's a blessing that I'm here." Li Yunlong said, "Otherwise, the Zhaojiayu militia must be ruined by you. Don't think about it. The Zhaojiayu militia team has less than 30 people in total, and the squad I brought only 40 people, which is not enough for the Japanese machine gun."
"You said you would raid from the back?"
"Our nearest tunnel entrance is five hundred meters away from the main fort."
"Just just trap the entire militia, I can't even rush over."
Zhuang Yan scratched his head and said, "Captain, how should we fight this battle?"
Li Yunlong said: "You have to find a way to shorten this assault distance."
"Dig the tunnel?" Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up, "Dig the tunnel directly under the bunker?"
"Yes." Li Yunlong said with a chuckling smile, "From tomorrow, you will lead people to dig a fork to the bottom of the main fort at the east end of the village. Remember, don't make too much noise."
"I know." Zhuang Yan nodded repeatedly, "I won't let the Japanese discover it."
While the two were talking, Uncle Li hurried over: "Captain, you're familiar."
"Raised?" Li Yunlong said, "Sweet potatoes, corn and other things are all ripe?"
"It's mature, everything is mature." Mr. Li said, "It's ready to harvest."
"Okay." Li Yunlong said immediately, "Xiaozhuang, immediately send a correspondent to notify several nearby villages, and then ask each village to notify villages further outside, and promise to unify the autumn harvest on the night of September 20th!"
"Yes!" Zhuang Yan agreed and turned around and hurried away.
Li Yunlong also took Uncle Li back to the village.
...
It was already the third night when the news was passed to Gujiayu Village.
Because Gujiayu is at the outermost periphery, there are four blockade ditches separated from Zhaojiayu, and it takes time to transmit information. It is mainly to open up several authentic tunnels on both sides of the inside and outside of the blockade ditch, which took some extra time.
"The autumn harvest will be unified on the 20th night? That's tonight." Guzidi muttered and shouted immediately, "Xiaobei, call Gu's sister-in-law and Laogu village chief over for a meeting."
Soon, Lao Gu and Gu Sao both came to the underground shelter.
Guzidi said: "I just received a notice from the regiment headquarters and started rushing tonight to collect autumn grain."
Laogu Village whipped a mouthful of dry tobacco and said, "I was just talking to Lao Geda about this, and it should be the autumn harvest."
Gu Zidi said again: "Uncle Gu, Sister Gu, you will go back and organize the villagers immediately, bring all the tools to leave the village from the authentic channel to grab the food. Remember, you can only act in the dark."
"First collect the food that is far away, and finally collect the nearby ones."
"Don't make too much noise, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese puppet army."
Speaking of this, he said: "Xiaobei, you will take ten militias to stay in the village to shoot cold guns, and fire a shot every ten or twenty minutes to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army."
Gu Xiaobei asked, "Brother Guzi, where are you?"
Guzidi said, "I took the rest of my brothers out of the village to protect the villagers from robbing the food."
The villagers of Gujiayu were quickly organized. At this time, the mobilization ability and execution ability of our party's grassroots organizations showed unparalleled advantages. There were more than 200 children in the entire Gujiayu Village, and even the children were mobilized. If nothing unexpected happens, most of the autumn grain can be harvested in just two nights.
After all, there is not much food.
Although the planting area is quite large, it cannot stand the low yield per mu.
In northwest Shanxi without fertilizers and water conservancy, the yield per mu of 100 kilograms is already high, and the yield per mu of 1,000 kilograms is not there at all. This kind of story is only found in the mythical world.
...
There are nearly 200 villages in the Fuliangshan base area. Except for a few villages that did not inform and there was no movement, the other villages began to rush to harvest autumn grains.
And Fuliangshan Fortress is not idle either.
But it is impossible to go out and conduct a night attack again.
Because after suffering a big loss the night before yesterday, the Japanese's vigilance increased a lot.
Moreover, the sixth blockade ditch surrounding the entire Fuliangshan Fortress has basically been closed. The specifications of this blockade ditch are based on the standards of the village-wide trench: ten meters wide, and six meters deep.
Several tunnels leading to the outside world of the fortress were dug up.
And there is no way to detour from deeper here in Fuliang Mountain.
Because from six meters down there is a rock formation, if you want to dig a tunnel from the rock formation, the time of spiraling will probably be measured in years.
So if the Wolf Warrior Squadron still wants to launch a night attack, he will only cross the blockade ditch.
Although the fort surrounding the blockade ditch has not been repaired yet, the barbed wire has been pulled in advance, and the secret whistle hidden in unknown places is enough to prevent penetration.
Even the Wolf Warrior Squadron needs to take great risks when implementing infiltration. If you are not careful, you will easily be attacked by machine gun fire and cause major casualties.
But this cannot help the soldier king of the Wolf Warriors.
Even if they don't leave the fortress, they can still use sniper rifles to deal severe damage to the Japanese army.
Wang Ye walked to the shelter and grabbed the microphone and asked, "Are you ready for the cannon company?"
A moment later, Wang Chengzhu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Old Wang, the cannon company is in place."
"Okay." Wang Ye hung up the phone, turned his head to Wei Xilai, Wang Xikui, Zhao Erwa, Huang Shun, Wei Dayong and more than a dozen snipers, "All of them are there, enter the sniper position."
More than a dozen snipers immediately picked up their respective sniper rifles and sequentially left the shelter.
Wang Ye was the last one to walk out of the shelter. Outside the shelter was the hillside of Fuliang Mountain. The hillsides on all sides were dug into beehives. The "beehouses" were thousands of sniper positions built in advance.
Each sniper position has a reserved traffic trench.
Snipers can quickly transfer from traffic trenches to the fortress.
These thousands of sniper positions are specially designed for Wolf Warrior snipers.
More than a dozen snipers, including Wang Ye, quickly entered the position.
Because the Eighth Route Army was expected to not dare to kill the people, the Japanese were very arrogant. The sixth and last blockade ditch was almost next to the foot of Fuliang Mountain.
