Chapter 410: Beijing Strategy (6)
In contrast, the first battalion suffered fewer losses than the other two battalions after entering the battlefield, mainly because the first battalion entered the battlefield later and avoided a head-on blow from the Japanese army. On www.biquge.info the other hand, after all, the number of Japanese troops is too small, and it is very difficult to resist the flanking attack of the second and third battalions, and the first battalion joins the battlefield, which actually plays a catalytic role.
In addition, there is another factor, that is, Luo Yue, as the battalion commander, personally led the charge, and held two guns, opened bows left and right on the battlefield, and assisted by the guards and soldiers around him, so he killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in a row, many of which were killed by Luo Yue when they were engaged in white-knuckle combat with other People's Army soldiers, and several Japanese soldiers rushed towards Luo Yue with bayonets, but before they could rush closer, they were shot by Luo Yue.
In this way, the morale of the soldiers of the first battalion was naturally greatly boosted, and in the white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army, they did not fall into a disadvantage. Although the commanders of the 2nd and 3rd battalions also went into battle in person, they did not break through to the front line, but followed behind to supervise the battle, so the morale of the soldiers was limited.
However, after a battalion joined, it did change the situation on the battlefield, after all, the number of Japanese soldiers is too small, although the personal bayonet skills of the Japanese soldiers are very powerful, but they can not make up for the gap in numbers, on average, each Japanese soldier has to fight against at least 3 soldiers of the People's Army, and some Japanese soldiers even have to fight against 4-5 soldiers of the People's Army, so that even if the personal ability of the Japanese soldiers is strong, it is impossible to resist, after all, the soldiers of the People's Army are not comparable to the Qing soldiers, although the personal quality is indeed poor, but the morale and fighting spirit are far from being comparable to the soldiers, fighting fiercely on the battlefield, without fear of death, even compared with the Japanese soldiers, it is not inferior, so after more than 30 minutes of fierce fighting, the Japanese army finally could not resist and retreated from the battlefield.
However, under the three-sided attack of the People's Army, and in the absolute disadvantage of the number of people, if they resist desperately, they can still withstand for a while, and once they retreat, it will be a thousand miles away and become a big rout, not to mention that the People's Army still leaves a way for the Japanese soldiers to survive, so the Japanese soldiers have turned around and fled along the railway line.
Naturally, the KPA would not let go of this opportunity, not only holding bayonets and chasing them for a while, but also chasing and shooting, so when the Japanese troops retreated, the casualties suddenly increased greatly. Although the Japanese army shouted to the Japanese soldiers and asked the Japanese soldiers to throw their guns and surrender, the Japanese army refused to surrender and insisted on stubborn resistance, and the result was naturally all annihilated by the People's Army. Of course, under the dying counterattack of the Japanese soldiers, some KPA soldiers were also killed, but this did not affect the overall situation.
The whole battle lasted for about one hour, and the light of day began to shine, and the People's Army finally completely defeated the Japanese army and completely occupied the Tongzhou Railway Station. As a result, Luo Yue's first battalion was assigned to manage the north platform, Ran Runfeng's second battalion was assigned to the south platform, and Liu Qinglin was assigned to manage the railway line.
The north platform is the main platform of Tongzhou Railway Station, and the station building is located on the north platform, with the ticket room, waiting room, office and other functional areas on this side, while the south platform is only a warehouse area. When the Japanese army was stationed in the Tongzhou train, they set up their headquarters in the waiting room. The Japanese army also dug a trench about 30 meters outside the station building, which was in a semi-arc shape, arched the station building, and built several sandbag enclosures on the side of the outer wall of the building to form the northern defense of the Tongzhou railway station.
In fact, the army's fortifications are still very good, but the number of troops stationed at the railway station is too small, so it cannot be prevented, and if the Japanese army's strength is doubled to about 1,000 people, it will add a lot of difficulties to the KPA's attack. Of course, if the Japanese army had reached 1,000 troops, the KPA would have sent artillery bombardment.
Luo Yue first arranged a company of troops outside the station building to guard, and then assigned other troops, with platoons as units, to search room by room in the station building, and all the documents and items left by the Japanese army were concentrated in the open space of the waiting room, and sent his own guard soldiers to guard them.
Because this is the headquarters of the Japanese army, the Japanese army left a lot of things, a large box of various documents, in addition to a large amount of food, wine, medicines, bedding, even cotton clothes and quilts, etc., as well as preserved fish, bacon, pickles and other special foods and more than 20 Chinese cabbage, to be quite rich, but did not find spare gun parts, ammunition, etc., Luo Yue estimated that the weapons and ammunition may be placed in the warehouse of the south platform. In addition, more than 20 soldiers in charge of logistics in the Japanese army were also arrested.
Luo Yue set up his temporary battalion headquarters in the ticket room, looking at the list of items cleared out, when a soldier came to report that many Chinese had been found in the two rooms of the station building, numbering about 2 or 300 people, including men and women, who were probably captured by the Japanese army to work as coolies. The platoon commander who led the team did not know what to do with this group of people.
After hearing this, Luo Yue thought for a while and said, "Take everyone to the waiting room, and I'll take a look at them." ”
It didn't take long for the soldiers to report, and all the people were taken to the waiting room, so Luo Yue also stood up, took a few guards, and came to the waiting room, only to see that there was a large black pressure standing in the waiting room, and the platoon commander who led the team led the soldiers to guard around, but fortunately, it was all bright at this time, and the soldiers also lit a few torches in the waiting room, so they could also see very clearly.
The crowd was divided into two groups, men and women, the male group was larger, it was estimated that there were not 200, but there were 15 or 60 people, all of whom were unkempt, ragged, and had yellow muscles and thin faces, which at first glance were symptoms of malnutrition and overwork. The women's complexion is slightly better, their clothes are neater, and their faces are cleaner, but whether they are men or women, they all have a numb look and no look in their eyes. Luo Yue led people to the waiting room, only a few people glanced this way, and most of them didn't even raise their heads, as if they were walking corpses.
Luo Yue frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw that in the group of men, a person jumped out and walked towards Luo Yue, and the two guards immediately stepped forward and stopped him with a gun, saying, "What are you doing, don't go forward." ”
The man hurriedly laughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't get me wrong, the villain is a good citizen, a great good citizen." ”
Luo Yue was quite unhappy when he heard this, and saw that this person's complexion was obviously much better than that of others, and he was wearing a brocade robe and a melon skin hat, which was obviously different from others, so he said, "Who are you?"
At this time, the platoon commander said: "Battalion commander, he himself said that his name is Wu Xuan, and he is the leader of these people. ”
Wu Xuan heard this, and hurriedly laughed again: "Yes, yes, the villain Wu Xuan, is the leader of this group, don't misunderstand." And nodded again and again, to a groveling look.
Luo Yue nodded, although he hated this person's style from the bottom of his heart, but since he was the leader of this group, he had to know a little more about the situation of this group, so he could ask, and looking at him like this, there would be no danger, so he said, "Let him come over." ”
When the guards heard this, they let go of the gun rack and let Wu Xuan come to Luo Yue, but they still stayed by Wu Xuan's side tightly, and as soon as he made any changes, they immediately took him down. Wu Xuan hurriedly shook his hands left and right, and said continuously: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
A guard said: "What is the master, the master, this is our battalion commander, and we want to call the chief." ”
When Wu Xuan heard this, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Yes, yes, yes, chief, villain Wu Xuan, please say hello to the chief." As he spoke, he bent his left knee forward, bent his thigh back, leaned his upper body forward slightly, and lowered his right hand, giving Luo Yue a thousand salutes. Then he turned back and said sharply to the group, "You are all dead, why don't you kowtow to the chief." ”
Luo Yue waved his hand and said, "No need, were you all captured by the Japanese army?"
Wu Xuan hesitated for a moment before he said: "Chief, the villain dares to ask the chief if he is the army there, can he reward the names of the chiefs?"
The guard said: "Dori, there is so much nonsense, we are the People's Army, have you heard of it?"
Wu Xuanzhi had really heard of the name of the People's Army, so he was also taken aback, and hurriedly sneered again: "It turns out that the leaders are the People's Army that beat the foreigners to the ground, and the villain has admired the name for a long time." ”
Luo Yue nodded and said, "Are you all captured by the Japanese army?"
Wu Xuan hurriedly said: "Looking back at the chief's words, these people are all Diao people in this area, they were captured by the Japanese army to work, now listen to the chief's orders, what work do they want to do, digging trenches, filling mud bags, moving goods, royal cars, as long as the chief orders to come down, the villain will be kept for the chiefs to arrange, no need for the chiefs to work a little, if the chiefs are tired, you can also let them serve the chiefs to rest, and keep them to the satisfaction of the chiefs......"
Seeing that the more he talked, Luo Yue interrupted: "Enough, are you from there? Were you also captured by the Japanese army?"
Wu Xuan said: "Looking back at the chief's words, the villain is from Beijing, but the villain was not captured by the Japanese army, he helped the Japanese army maintain affairs, and now of course he also helps the chiefs to manage things." As he spoke, his face couldn't help but show a smug smile.
After Luo Yue listened, he basically understood, it seems that this Wu Xuan is also a so-called "dog-legged" or "traitor" and other characters, but I don't know if he just helped the Japanese army do some normal maintenance and management, and whether he has done anything to help the abuse.
