Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Seeing that the counterattack on the hilltop had stopped, Feng Dachuan commanded the team to advance quickly and soon arrived at the village. Due to the hasty retreat, the beasts did not have time to take care of the women and children in the cellar. Xu Damao took the lead and rushed into a house to rescue people from the cellar.

Seeing this, Feng Dachuan arranged the relatively weaker security department and militia to rescue the women and children, and he led the team to rush to the back mountain, where the resistance was very fierce.

While the two sides were constantly exchanging fire, many public security comrades also climbed up from the back mountain with the help of ropes. Now the group of devils were facing a pincer attack from both sides, and many screams were heard instantly, and the losses were heavy.

The Japanese had no choice but to retreat back into the cave and try to continue resisting by relying on the geographical advantage. There were many forks in the cave and the light was not good, so Feng Dachuan did not rush in.

Chen Yuanzheng also followed the public security team over the mountain. Seeing this situation, he said, "Captain Feng, there is no escape route from this cave, and the mountain structure is relatively soft. We can mobilize mortars to directly collapse the cave and bury the Japanese alive."

Feng Dachuan's eyes lit up, "As expected of an old comrade who came back from the battlefield, he is very experienced. Let's do this."

"Boom, boom, boom." A series of explosions were heard, and rubble kept flying everywhere, and a lot of caves were collapsed due to the explosion.

At this time, there were only more than fifty Japanese soldiers left in the cave, and their morale was very low.

Ono Junzaburo said, "We are in trouble now. They want to blow up the cave and bury us alive. Yamashita-kun, what should we do?"

Yamashita Masao said: "As soldiers of the empire, are you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid."

"Not afraid."

"No...not afraid."

The older veterans shouted decisively, while some of the later-born children had some fear on their faces.

Yamashita Masao glanced at everyone and said, "The situation is irreversible. If we continue to stay here, we will be buried alive, die of thirst and starvation. This way of dying is too depressing and unworthy of the glory of the imperial soldiers. I have decided to launch a boarding charge."

"Hi."

"Please give the order, Yamashita-kun."

"It's dark and the card is on board!"

"Onboard! Onboard! Onboard!"

The Japanese soldiers, with grenades tied to their bodies and guns in their hands, swarmed out of the narrow cave entrance like crazy, completely ignoring the shells exploding around them from time to time.

More than 30 people fell in this round of charge, and the remaining dozen or so people were shot to pieces by a round of volleys as soon as they rushed out of the cave and had no time to see what was happening outside.

Seeing that no one was pouring out of the cave, Feng Dachuan ordered to stop the shelling and began to send people to search the cave and treat the wounded. At this time, Li Huaide, Zheng Gang, Xu Damao and others also led the security department to rescue everyone in the cellar.

Xu Damao led his men to conduct a large-scale search throughout the village. His good apprentice was still locked in another small cave in the back mountain. Xu Damao led his men to approach the back mountain and conduct a search. Fortunately, the enemies had been wiped out and there was no danger, so the troops did not stop them.

Under Xu Damao's intentional or unintentional guidance, two security personnel finally found the small cave and successfully carried out the wounded Li Dazhuang. Xu Damao arranged for someone to send Li Dazhuang back for treatment. Fortunately, Li Dazhuang only suffered some skin injuries and should be fine after a few days of rest.

The soldiers were still busy, and Xu Damao also led people to help carry the supplies in the cave. While he was busy, Xu Damao heard someone calling him.

"Brother Damao, brother Damao!"

Xu Damao stopped and put the box on his shoulder on the ground and looked in the direction of the voice. The person who spoke was Chen Yuanzheng, the chief of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau.

"Brother Damao, thank you so much for making our Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau perform a great deed again. If you hadn't informed me of the news, I might not have been able to participate in this operation." Chen Yuanzheng was somewhat glad that he finally believed what Xu Damao said, and asked the public security comrades in the bureau to make preparations in advance. He also used the connections of his old leader, so that he could participate in this operation. Otherwise, they would only be able to watch others eat meat, while they couldn't even have a sip of soup.

"Hey, it's nothing. If you have any problems, just go to the police. I don't have many acquaintances in the public security system. I only know Director Chen. Who else can I go to if not you?" Xu Damao said politely.

"Okay, brother Damao, we are all busy now, so I won't say any more. In the future, as long as you come to me for something that does not violate the principles, I will definitely do it for you beautifully. Let's keep in touch in the future." Chen Yuanzheng patted his chest and promised.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. Let's have a drink together when we have time." Xu Damao also said, and then he continued to carry the supplies while carrying the box.

Li Huaide, who was nearby, happened to see this scene. "Is Xu Damao so familiar with the new police chief? He used to be in the military, and now he has to join the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau. It seems that Xu Damao has a lot of connections. He is no longer the Xu Damao who gave me gifts. Fortunately, he is one of my own. No, I have to win him over."

Everyone worked until the evening before they managed to transport all the personnel and captured supplies out. The wounded were rushed to the military hospital for treatment, and women and children with relatives were also sent back home. The few who had no living relatives were also arranged to live in Lantai Commune.

The threshing ground of Lantai Commune.

Feng Dachuan held Xu Damao's hand tightly and said, "I am so grateful to you, brother Damao, for risking your life to pass on the message so that we can wipe out the remaining enemy forces in one fell swoop. I will rush back to the military region to report this to the leadership and will also apply for a reward for you. Let's say goodbye now."

Xu Damao also liked this straightforward leader. "This is what I should do. It doesn't matter what the reward is. We have been out for a day and we need to return to the steel mill. Brother Feng, we will see each other again if we are lucky!"

The two parties said goodbye, got into the car and staggered back to their respective units. This time, Li Huaide didn't mind the crowd and insisted on riding in the same car with Xu Damao. The two of them flattered each other along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but the driver next to them almost vomited.

After more than an hour, everyone returned to the steel mill. Because the security department performed well this time, Li Huaide could be considered to have made a great contribution, so he waved his hand happily and all the personnel involved in the operation would have a day off tomorrow, the injured personnel would be treated as work-related injuries, and the reward for this operation would be doubled.

This immediately caused cheers from all the security personnel who participated in the operation, while those who stayed behind and did not participate in the operation looked at them with envy.

After a whole day of hard work, even Xu Damao, whose body had been strengthened, was exhausted. After saying goodbye to Li Huaide, he rode his bike home to rest.

Li Huaide grabbed his arm and said, "Da Mao, you are our great hero this time, and I know you have worked hard. How about this, as a reward, you don't have to come to the factory to work before the New Year, just have a good rest at home, and your salary will be paid as usual. I will handle the formalities for you."

Xu Damao agreed immediately. This was really a godsend. After thanking him, Xu Damao rode his bike and headed straight to the courtyard. The holiday before the New Year plus the three-day holiday during the Spring Festival made a total of seven days. This time he could have a good rest and spend some time with his wife.
