Chapter 129 The Moon of Yesteryear
Erniu, who had just returned from the arsenal to pick up some things and call for help, saw the villagers spinning yarn and sewing shoe soles on the flat ground. She ran over to one of the older women, smiling sweetly, "Aunt Meng, Aunt Meng, are the shoes you made for me last time finished?"
"Erniuzi, it's done. Look how sturdy it is."
"Yes, your cooking is the best."
When Erniu ran back to the courtyard, she saw that Dani was still there and breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly handed over the cloth shoes in her hand, "Sister Dani, put these on. Sister Changning said that your shoes were all worn out, so she asked me to ask Aunt Meng to make you a pair of cloth shoes. Put them on quickly. These shoes are very sturdy. Aunt Meng's craftsmanship is the best in the surrounding area."
Da Ni glanced at the worn-out straw sandals on her feet, then happily put on the cloth shoes. "They fit perfectly. Please thank Sister Changning for me."
She had been staying with Xie Ning for a while, and not only had her injuries healed, but her sunken cheeks had also become much rounder. She had nothing to repay him with, so she could only kill a few more Japanese devils!
Patting Erniu on the shoulder, Dani encouraged her, "Erniu, when I get back I'll tell you how we pried open the rails. You should also continue practicing the martial arts I taught you. When you have the chance, kill a few more Japanese devils!"
"good!"
Watching them go to the battlefield one by one, Erniu couldn't help but feel envious. She also wanted to kill Japanese devils, but she knew that her current job was also very important. They all said that Sister Changning was worth an entire division! So her job of protecting Sister Changning was also very important!
When Da Ni arrived at the advance team with her gear on her back, she heard the regimental commander and political commissar talking in hushed tones. The political commissar was very worried, saying, "Our entire regiment is full of greenhorns."
The regimental commander stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes burning with rage. "If they don't fight and see blood, they'll always be new recruits."
Then she heard a soldier complaining that they only had broadswords and not even guns. Da Ni glanced at him and said bluntly, "If you don't have weapons, just ask the Japanese. The gun I'm carrying was taken from the Japanese!"
After saying that, she ignored the new recruits and went straight to her platoon. She was still the platoon leader, but this platoon was not the same as the previous women's platoon. After all, she had come to deliver the message alone, and she didn't know how the others were doing.
Time ticked by, and the night was filled with wind and rain.
A group of Eighth Route Army soldiers braved the rain to cross the valley and river, avoiding the outer strongholds of the Japanese army, and circled around to both sides of the Zhengtai Road. They pried open the rails and cut the power lines. At the same time, artillery fire sounded from the bridge that the Japanese army had to cross. The bridge collapsed, and bombs exploded in many places, catching the Japanese army off guard.
As dawn broke, Yun and Xing led their men to dig traps along the route the Japanese reinforcements were sure to take. Gunshots rang out in the distance. Once the traps were laid, the soldiers who had been keeping watch ran over and shouted, "Hurry up! The Japanese are at the crossroads and they're about to come up!"
"Class One, assemble! Let's go!"
"Spread out and ambush!"
The armored vehicle got stuck in the trap as soon as it reached it and couldn't move forward. Yun and Xing, wearing grass rings, aimed their guns at the top of the armored vehicle from a distance. When the people inside opened the door and crawled out to check the situation, they were shot in the head. Then a pepper spray was thrown in.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been hiding inside the armored vehicles and dared not show their faces, were provoked and jumped out. Yun Hexing, who was being closely watched, fired another shot to the head. "Charge!"
With the armored vehicle disabled, the other soldiers rushed forward, and the soldiers lying prone on the other side also pulled the pins on their grenades and threw them at the convoy on the road below.
Thump thump thump—
The Japanese support troops were caught off guard by the ambush.
