Chapter 546: Come when you want and leave when you want
After Li Ziyuan completed the deployment adjustment, Zhang Zijian pondered for a while and said, "Regiment commander, the battle over there in Qiaokou is over. They are very close to us, did they transfer the fourth company? Before those rescued people cross the Qiaokou, our side has to hold on. ”
Regarding Zhang Zijian's suggestion, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said: "The Fourth Company is going to move, but it can't be transferred to Pingchuan." Let them immediately go north to reinforce the Japanese puppet army, which is delaying its march from the north to the south. The town now has enough troops, and it is impossible to transfer them. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at the time on his watch and said, "There is no need to wait until they cross Qiaokou to retreat, the Japanese puppet army will not leave us so much time." Tell the troops to hold out for half an hour, and then withdraw all from Pingchuan after two consecutive breaks. As for here, as long as the puppet army here doesn't rush out, it's fine. ”
"Our original plan didn't necessarily mean that we had to take the entire town of Pingchuan. It was only a frontal attack to attract all the puppet troops in the town to the front, so that Liu Lianming could rescue the captured young man. Now the attack on Pyeongchon can be said to have overfulfilled the plan. Now that so many supplies have been seized, it is enough. ”
"Lao Zhang, sometimes you don't have to kill a snake to kill. Let the snakes fight with each other in order to compete for food, which is more conducive to the operation of us snake catchers. Let's defeat Wang Tieshi now, and the Japanese army will definitely have to carry out other lackeys. Now they are fighting among themselves, which is very beneficial to our actions. ”
"But Lao Zhang, if the Japanese army changes horses, and hands over the entire Hubei County to a puppet army for unified control, it may not be beneficial to us. For this Wang Tieshi is to be destroyed, but now is not the best time. The longer this Romance of the Three Kingdoms is staged, the more beneficial it will be for us. ”
Regarding Li Ziyuan's entire deployment, Zhang Zijian pondered slightly and nodded. So far, although there have been some changes in the course of the battle, it has basically gone according to the original plan. At this point in the battle, there is basically no suspense left. He also knew that he couldn't be too greedy, always thinking about killing all the hungry wolves with a stick.
But the head of the regiment is right, this Romance of the Three Kingdoms can only continue to be sung, and the activity will be the most beneficial to the eight roads of the weakest party. Pingchuan is the richest area in Hubei, and other puppet armies are staring at it with their eyes open. There are two puppet armies of different formations in Hubei, which is the most beneficial to the activities of the troops.
The reason why the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, he Zhang Zijian does not understand. But now that the decision has been made, the only question now is how to close this opening. If the puppet army bites back at this time, this fun will be too great.
It's just that Zhang Zijian wanted to discuss the retreat plan with Li Ziyuan, but he saw Li Ziyuan leaning against a wall and napping, and he didn't mean to interfere at all. Although he knew that Li Ziyuan seemed to be napping, his ears must be standing. Li Ziyuan's current attitude only shows his promise that the battle was completely commanded by him.
Seeing Li Ziyuan put on such a posture, Zhang Zijian could only smile bitterly and shake his head. According to the speed of the surrounding enemy forces, a set of action plans should be come up with in the shortest possible time. Regarding Zhang Zijian's action plan, although Li Ziyuan was a little dissatisfied.
It is believed that he did not give full play to the plan of the artillery company's fire cover, and that the units had a somewhat independent taste. However, Li Ziyuan only made certain adjustments to the artillery fire support plan. As for Zhang Zijian's rest of the plan, he didn't say anything.
Once Li Ziyuan made up his mind, he was still uncompromising in implementation. He said that half an hour is half an hour, that is, there is no delay for a minute. When the time came, after sending someone to inform the blocking troops on both flanks to take over the cover retreat. The troops in the town of Pyongchon immediately began to shrink, alternately covering the retreat with each other.
Liu Lianming, who was a little greedy over there, became the last group of troops to withdraw from Pingchuan Town, although he was carrying two trucks. When there is no combat mission, Liu Lianming, who has a somewhat arrogant personality. It wasn't even noticed that a man had carefully avoided his gaze before his truck had started.
After getting into the bed of the truck, he hid under the tarpaulin covered with supplies. And Liu Lianming, who was busy destroying the materials that he couldn't take away, didn't find that there was one more person on his truck. However, before leaving, looking at the more than 30 laborers who were captured by the Japanese puppet army to serve as coolies, Liu Lianming hesitated for a moment and took them all away.
These laborers were all Henan victims who flowed into Shanxi from the Yellow River last year due to the severe drought in Henan, and they were all strong young people. After the disaster victims returned, they were kept secret by the Japanese puppet army because they worked as coolies here. All of them were detained, and none of them were let go.
The most important thing is that Wang Tieshi is very greedy. Since last year, they have only been given more than 10 catties a month to maintain rations, and as for the salary of five yuan a month that was promised at the beginning, I have never seen it at all. He was beaten at every turn, and he had to work at high intensity for more than 10 hours a day before he could rest.
It's summer, and these people are still dressed in tatters, and they have all become old padded jackets for fishing nets. After helping Liu Lianming load the supplies, all these people knelt down for Liu Lianming, wanting to leave Pingchuan with them, and then find a way to return to Henan. Seeing the miserable appearance of these people, Liu Lianming finally agreed to take them all.
And when he was leaving, according to Li Ziyuan's order. Liu Lianming poured all the seized materials that could not be taken away on the captured gasoline and burned them on fire. At the same time, when he was about to retreat, he easily burned down the two suspension bridges used to pass through the blockade ditch in Pingchuan, and all the fortifications on the front were also demolished.
Before leaving, Li Ziyuan also told those prisoners of the puppet army who were captured in the battle of Pingchuan and dismissed on the spot, and here in Pingchuan Town, he can come and leave if he wants, and if Wang Tieshi dares to take revenge on the people who sold his own things, Lao Tzu will beat you once when he sees you, plus raid your home to compensate the people.
After doing all this, Li Ziyuan and Zhang Zijian were not in a hurry, and commanded the troops to be brought in the artillery company, and the remaining 20 or so rounds* were all smashed into the puppet joint defense headquarters. In addition to covering the retreat of the troops, there was also a certain degree of demonstration, and the troops retreated to the eastern mountains in an unhurried alternate cover.
By the time the puppet army reinforced from Hubei County arrived, there was no trace of the Eighth Road in and around Pingchuan Town. All they were left with was the raging fire, and the corpses of the puppet soldiers killed inside and outside the town. After the suspension bridge was burned, the Japanese puppet army that had come over was blocked on the side of Pingchuan, and it was impossible to pass through the blockade ditch at all.
When Wang Tieshi, who was beaten and disgraced, commanded his men to use the door panels dismantled from the people's homes, it took a while to build a bridge through the blockade ditch, and these Japanese puppet troops who came from these reinforcements entered Pingchuan. Li Ziyuan had already commanded the troops and disappeared without a trace.
Unless they dare to go deep into the eastern mountains of Hubei alone, there is basically no hope. Although the house was copied completely, Wang Tieshi, who was furious, had no time to pay attention to it now, and the six wives who cried because their home was copied were all gone, let alone looking for another aunt who didn't know the whereabouts of the other aunt.
Reinforcements arrived, no matter how he felt about these reinforcements now. But there are some things he still has to do. Because there were still Japanese troops in the reinforcements, he dared to offend those intriguing friendly troops. But for the Japanese, he would never dare to offend.
And a regiment commander of the pseudo-independent division who led the reinforcements ignored Wang Tieshi, who knew that he was pretending, but he was still very enthusiastic. He didn't want to come this time for reinforcements, but not only did he not want to come, but he even hoped that Wang Tieshi would be completely wiped out by the Eighth Road. So that his troops could take over the rather rich area of Pyongchuan.
He didn't want reinforcements, but the attitude of the Japanese was different. The Japanese adviser who was in charge of his unit and the captain of the Japanese squad stationed in Pingchuan had a rather tough attitude and demanded that he must send reinforcements. His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and in the face of the tough attitude of the Japanese, he could only lead the troops out very reluctantly.
However, when it came time to assemble troops, he had been grinding for a long time. It wasn't until the Japanese advisor threatened him to disarm his troops that his reinforcements were quicker. But the endless * and cold guns along the way caused him to lose more than fifty brothers, which annoyed him.
These more than 50 brothers were veterans of his army who had followed him for many years. This time, there were more than fifty casualties at once, which made his flesh hurt quite badly. The Japanese gave a very large number, but when they replenished the troops, they picked and searched. Even if they are supplemented, they may not be loyal to themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese were also under the cold guns and * killing, the casualties of more than a dozen people made him feel a little more comfortable. I don't know if after seeing Wang Tieshi, the culprit who caused him to lose more than 50 people, he will first give this old man a fat beating to vent his anger.
However, he did not make a move, but the Japanese may not make a move. Seeing the corpses of more than a dozen of his subordinates who stayed in Pingchuan, as well as more than a dozen subordinates who were killed and wounded by * and cold guns along the way, plus the materials that were robbed, the captain of the Japanese squad stationed in Pingchuan who lost almost all of his subordinates was furious.
I didn't care about Wang Tieshi's filial piety every month, and after seeing that his subordinates had suffered heavy losses but Wang Tieshi was intact, he not only didn't have any praise. On the contrary, it was not polite at all, and when he came up, he was beaten with a series of kicks and beatings, and Wang Tieshi was dizzy, bleeding from the corners of his nose and mouth.
A Japanese second lieutenant squad leader, in front of Wang Tieshi and his subordinates, punched and kicked Wang Tieshi, the puppet Ludong regional joint defense commander with the rank of colonel. What's more, since this guy was transferred to Pingchuan, he has also received a lot of benefits from himself, but now he is so faceless, which has caused Wang Tieshi's extreme anger.
Although he is not worth as a colonel, he is not as good as a military officer in the eyes of the Japanese. But after all, he is now a colonel, and he was personally appointed by the command of the First Army. How many things have I done to the Japanese over the years, and if they didn't have them, they would still be able to gain a foothold in the Ludong area?
How much benefit has their First Army Command taken from top to bottom over the years? Not only did he occupy the dry shares that didn't make money in his own business, but he also fucking collected a lot of antiques, tobacco, and gold bars. Now a team leader dares to punch and kick himself, what do they think of themselves?
