Not far from the village is Huainan Railway, and the way out of the university village must pass through this railway line. In order to "strengthen public order", the Japanese built a turret at the intersection to intercept passers-by.
During the day, there are ghost soldiers at the crossing to check the good citizen's card. Only one family has a good citizen card. Xue and others will not come back when they go out, so it will be in trouble to take away the family members of a good citizen card.
No night traffic. There are machine guns on the turret, and a searchlight sweeps around. If you see anyone, you will shoot. There is a mute in the village who came back late from fishing for shrimp outside. When he passed the intersection, he was covered by the searchlight. The dumb man ran away in fear. As a result, his back was honeycombed by Japanese machine guns.
Every day at dawn, the devil on duty is probably sleepy. Although the searchlight was still on, it stopped scanning back and forth and stopped at one place. When crossing the crossing at this time, you can cross the railway smoothly as long as you avoid that light beam.
When Xue and other five people arrived at the crossing, the beam of the searchlight just stayed at the intersection of the dirt road and the railway, and it was impossible to cross it directly. The dirt road is a newly harvested rape field. Xue led everyone down to the field, quietly bypassed the opposite turret and climbed onto the railway subgrade.
When crossing the railway, the double-headed craftsman tripped over the railing and fell headlong on the stone beside the road. He was so heavy that the stone was smashed to pieces where he fell.
In panic, everyone fell down together.
Fortunately, there was a close call. The devils were probably asleep, but the crash didn't wake them up. The searchlight was still fixed at that intersection, motionless. Xue was the first to get up. He patted everyone one by one and motioned for them to get up and go.
After crossing the blockade of Huainan Railway Devils, the group went straight to Yuanshan and finally met Mr. Fang when the sun came out. At this time, in order to prevent the Japanese from retaliating, the guerrillas have retreated to Xiaohuangshan, north of the old nest, leaving only Mr. Fang here to meet the enemy.
Xiao Huangshan is dozens of miles long from east to west, with overlapping mountains. It is a good place to establish base areas and carry out guerrilla warfare. After the guerrillas entered the mountains, they stationed troops in Lu 'an area and expanded their ranks to more than 80 people, including more than 20 Sichuan troops who retreated from Nanjing.
Subsequently, the guerrillas were reorganized and the Huangshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade in Chao County was established, with Feng Wenhua as the battalion chief and Zhang as the political commissar. The guerrilla brigade has two detachments, one is dominated by the Sichuan army, Chang Dungui is the captain, and Jinhua Hall is the instructor; The second detachment is composed of the former guerrilla backbone, with the team leader and the instructor Fang Chunyi, that is, Mr. Fang. Xue and other Xue brothers are all in the second team.
In late June, the Huangshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade in Chao County rebelled. Chang Dungui and Jin Huatang, the heads of the first team, led a night raid on Lu 'an, the headquarters of the second brigade, at the behest of several Sichuan veterans, killing Wang Zilong, the captain of the second brigade, and Fang Chunyi, the instructor. Captain Feng Wenhua is the nephew of General Feng Yuxiang. They dare not expect anything. Zhang, the political commissar of the brigade, also survived under the strong protection of Feng Wenhua, but the leadership of the guerrillas was seized by the rebels.
After leaving the guerrilla brigade, Feng Wenhua and Zhang actively searched for the anti-Japanese team, and finally gathered in the county to find the exiled anti-Japanese advance team and asked them to send armed forces to put down the rebellion.
The anti-Japanese advance team in exile in Northeast China consists of more than 200 young students in exile in Northeast China. After the fall of the three northeastern provinces, some junior officers and men of the former Northeast Army also participated. Team leader Liu Chong is party member.
After the team arrived in central Anhui, it was controlled by the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army. After accepting the assignment of the "Northeast Exile Anti-Japanese Advance Team" provided by the fourth detachment, Liu Chong was appointed as the captain of the advance team to lead the troops to act independently in this area.
After listening to Feng Wenhua and Zhang's report, Liu Chong's battalion chief immediately sent someone to conduct reconnaissance. In the end, in Feidong County adjacent to Chao County, the rebels of Huangshan Guerrilla Brigade in Chao County were eliminated in one fell swoop, and the anti-Japanese team of more than 80 people was recovered and incorporated into the anti-Japanese advance team in exile in Northeast China.
In this compilation, Xue, Xue Shizhong and other Xue brothers were incorporated into the heavy machine gun company. Xue Shizhong was elected as the platoon leader because he joined the army a few days earlier and participated in the ambush battle in Xiaofuling. Xue is the monitor of Class One and Class Two, and several other sons and brothers of Xue are in his class.
The heavy machine gun company is the core fighting force of the anti-Japanese advance team in exile in Northeast China. The company has six heavy machine guns, two platoons and six shifts, each shift 1 heavy machine guns.
The company commander and instructor are both from the northeast. The company commander is an officer of the Northeast Army, and the instructor is an exiled student in Northeast China. At school, he was an underground party member.
Company commanders and instructors are very strict with their troops. They get up at 4 am every day, run and train the basic movements of the queue. The morning after breakfast is a political lesson, and the instructor will tell you the truth of resisting Japan and saving the country, as well as the suffering of our compatriots in Northeast China. In the afternoon, the company commander led everyone to learn to use heavy machine guns, requiring every soldier to memorize the performance of machine guns and master the shooting essentials.
Xue, who studied martial arts, can quickly adapt to the tense, orderly and hard life in the military camp. At the same time, as the monitor, he has to unite a group of people and unite the whole class.
The heavy machine gun of Class Two is made in Ma Kexin. The monitor Xue and eight soldiers under his leadership figured it out in a month. Xue took the lead in setting an example and reassembled the parts of this heavy machine gun blindfolded in one minute.
After getting familiar with the performance of heavy machine guns, the next step is tactical training. There are two main items, one is how to defend the position with heavy machine guns, and the other is how to cover the infantry attack. To sum up, it is attack and defense. For heavy machine guns, sometimes defense is more important than attack.
After more than two months of training, Xue practiced very seriously as if he had just started to learn martial arts, and achieved the most remarkable results.
The squad leader is the youngest commander in the army, but the responsibility is not small at all. It must be grasped by the army and the government. A responsible monitor should not only organize the training of the whole class of soldiers in peacetime, but also be good at discovering the ideological signs among soldiers and doing ideological and political education in time.
Life in the military camp is very hard. Some people can't stand it, they will desert. Absenteeism is the most difficult thing for commanders to deal with. Of course, Xue didn't want any deserters in the class, so he came up with a slogan of "three noes" and often took it to class meetings to talk about it. He asked everyone to be an anti-Japanese soldier and be "not afraid of home, suffering and death."
To Xue's surprise, he managed his class in a monolithic way. There was no deserter, but something went wrong.
1September, 938, the advance team moved to Damachang, Quanjiao County, which is adjacent to Chaoxian County. One morning, the instructor told the company not to gather outside the camp with weapons. As soon as the troops were assembled, two companies of the eighth regiment of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army immediately entered the heavy machine gun company camp and handed over all the heavy machine guns and weapons.
They are all anti-Japanese teams. How can our people hand over their weapons? Xue was shocked and puzzled.
