Chapter 69: Attacking Jining (3)
The inability of Juye's Japanese squadron and the puppet army to contact aroused the alarm of Fujiwara Kiyuyui Nakasa, the captain of the Fujiwara Brigade of the Seya Detachment of the Japanese 10th Division stationed in Jining, and he sent three waves of light and dark reconnaissance to explore in the direction of Heze.
At this moment, the 115th Regiment, which was marching towards Jiaxiang County, less than 100 kilometers away, finally stopped and began to bury the pot and make rice.
Seeing the soldiers sleeping on the ground, Lai Wenli was very distressed, he really wanted these soldiers to rest a little longer, but time no longer allowed this, the news of the destruction of Juye City did not know when it would spread, he had to be iron-hearted, let the soldiers' legs or car tires, keep racing against time, even if it was a minute late, it would make the 115th regiment that attacked here suffer very big losses.
Sun Yumin looked at the telegram sent by the 58th Brigade, with a pleasant smile on his face, his happy appearance was seen by Li Tiedan, which made him very uncomfortable, and he chattered sourly beside him: "Conquering a small town is like winning a big battle, and I will take it faster." ”
Sun Yumin glared at Li Tiedan, restrained his smile, and thought: Juye has fallen, and the devil will definitely know soon, and if he wants to fight Jiaxiang now, he may encounter two situations: either he is strongly blocked and stubbornly waits for help; Either the enemy abandons Jiaxiang and concentrates his forces to defend Jining. However, no matter which outcome the Japanese army chooses, the 58th Brigade will definitely go all out to advance into Jiaxiang and clear the obstacles to the advance of the whole division.
Jining must have been a hard battle, and the casualties should not be small, how can we reduce the casualties of our 20th Division to the lightest now, and then take this strong city?
If the 58th Brigade successfully captured Jiaxiang, it would definitely soon reach the city of Jining, which was dozens of kilometers away, and no matter what the situation was, the 20th Division would have to gnaw this hard bone anyway. Not to mention how many Japanese troops there are in Jining City, there are thousands of people in the Seventh Brigade of the Puppet Army alone, although a third regiment was eaten in Juye, but there are still thousands of troops equipped with all-day equipment, in the case of the Japanese army supervising the battle, what kind of combat effectiveness can be played, Sun Yumin's heart is completely uncertain.
Once the attack did not go well, the Japanese troops in Wenshang, Zouxian and other places rushed to help, plus a Segu Brigade that did not know the specific location for the time being, and the 58th Brigade attacking Jining was in danger of being encircled at any time.
Thinking of this, Sun Yumin felt a little headache, should he use the strength of the whole division to enter Jining? In fact, this question has already been answered, in order to ensure Xuzhou, no matter how big the loss is, Jining has to take it.
Li Tie Dan looked at the daze in front of him, and whispered softly on the side: "Alas, I'm in a state of sanity again." He didn't dare to leave, and honestly stood beside Sun Yumin with Xiaoshanzi, waiting patiently.
Sun Yumin's mind quickly turned around many real battle examples, and he wanted to draw a scoop from the gourd and copy them to this battle, but his head hurt and he didn't find a suitable battle example.
Suddenly, a name flashed in Sun Yumin's mind, and then his most classic and famous battle appeared in Sun Yumin's mind.
Siege point reinforcement!
With a clear tactic, the rest is very easy, Sun Yumin returned to reality from his hard thoughts, and he said to Xiao Shanzi: "Take out the map." ”
Li Tietan helped Xiao Shanzi spread out the military map on the ground, and watched Sun Yumin keep marking on the map with a pencil, and neither of them dared to make a sound, for fear of being so worried that they would concentrate on the division.
After about a quarter of an hour, Sun Yumin finally came out of the study of the map, and said with a happy face: "Xiaoshanzi, notify the telecommunications director to come over." ”
Xiao Shanzi has been the most inconspicuous among everyone since he beat Sun Yumin from the small village, but he himself was not discouraged, and he paid a lot of sweat and effort with Xiao Yuying during the special training.
The telecommunications director of the army is a female lieutenant, and she is also the telecommunications director of Sun Tongxuan, the commander of the former 20th Division, she has been in this position for a long time, and she is very good at telecommunications, he specially asked Xiao Yuying to observe this woman for a period of time, and confirmed that she was a harmless person, so he continued to leave her in the telecommunications room.
Xiao Shanzi took this female telecommunications director, who was called Sister Hong by Xiao Yuying, to Sun Yumin and said, "Master, Director Tang is here." ”
"Your name?" Sun Yumin did not give a direct order, he began to ask the female officer.
"Report to the division, Tang Chunhong, who is lowly and lowly, is the director of the telecommunications office of the division." The female officer was professional and spoke cleanly.
"If I'm going to give an order now, will the other allies receive it?" Seeing that Tang Chunhong didn't understand what he meant, he said again: "I mean, other friendly radio stations except for the 20th Division. ”
After his explanation, Tang Chunhong suddenly realized and said: "Master, I have two sets of telecommunications codes, one is the password common to all units of the National Army, and the other is designed by Commander Sun at a high price, and only the troops of the 12th Army can figure out the meaning. If you don't want other allies to know your orders, it is recommended that you use the one left behind by Commander Sun. ”
Sun Yumin was very satisfied with her answer and said, "Just use the second set." He continued, "You can record it." ”
Without waiting for Tang Chunhong to open the manuscript paper, Sun Yumin began to say: "Order: The 115th Regiment of the 58th Brigade plus the 1st Battalion of Qiu Zehua of the Artillery Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the Guard Battalion Lin Yuanping will feint to attack Jining City and firmly surround it; The 116th Regiment of the 58th Brigade turned from Jiaxiang to Wenshang County, blocked the enemy and took the city, and then surrounded the enemy army who went out of the city to aid Ning; The newly formed regiment of the 58th Brigade bypassed Jining from the direction of Jiaxiang and fortified it north of Jining, so as to block the enemy troops in the direction of Gunzhou near Gangtou Village. In addition, Zhang Xiaohu was informed that without an order, he was not allowed to take Jining, and if there was a mistake, military law would be involved. ”
Sun Yumin spoke very fast, and before Li Tietang could hear the previous sentence clearly, his next order had already come out of his mouth. He was in a daze, but he heard Tang Chunhong ask, "Master, is there anything else?" ”
Sun Yumin thought for a moment and said, "No, you just send it out as I say." ”
Tang Chunhong saluted and said, "Yes!" Division, I repeat your order: the 58th Regiment of the 115th Brigade plus the 1st Battalion of the Artillery Regiment Qiu Zehua and the 1st Battalion of the Guard Battalion Lin Yuanping will feint to attack Jining City and firmly surround it; The 116th Regiment of the 58th Brigade turned from Jiaxiang to Wenshang County, blocked the enemy and took the city, and then surrounded the enemy army who went out of the city to aid Ning; The newly formed 1st Regiment of the 58th Brigade bypassed Jining from the direction of Jiaxiang and fortified it to the north of Jining, so it was necessary to block the enemy troops in the direction of Gunzhou near Gangtou Village. In addition, Brigade Commander Zhang was informed that Jining must not be taken without an order, otherwise military law will be involved. ”
Sun Yumin nodded, and gave Tang Chunhong a thumbs up approvingly, while Li Tietang still looked incredible, in his mind, only Xiao Yuying could do this, but he didn't expect that this little-known little telecommunications director would have this kind of ability.
After Tang Chunhong went to send the report with the order, Sun Yumin resumed his serious expression and said to Li Tiedan: "The 117th Regiment and the 118th Regiment of the 59th Brigade bypassed Jining from Jiaxiang, bypassed the new regiment of Gangtou to block the location, and launched an attack on Gunzhou after the battle began, and it should be okay to take this empty city in a short time, right?" ”
Of course, Li Tiedan would not be so stupid as to say that he couldn't take it, so he hurriedly said: "Master, you let me take two regiments to occupy an empty city, this is too much fuss." ”
Sun Yumin stretched out his hand and patted his head and said, "Every word I say, you listen carefully to me!" He ignored Li Tiegu, who was rubbing his head, and said: "After occupying Gunzhou, immediately divide the troops, each regiment will leave a battalion to stay in Gunzhou, the 118th Regiment will quickly set off to capture Qufu, and the 117th Regiment will quickly send troops to Zoucheng, strive to take back these two cities, and then defend it for me." ”
When Li Tietan heard the latter paragraph, he jumped up with joy and said: "Master, these two cities can't be taken, and I am willing to engage in military law." ”
Sun Yumin was very uneasy when he saw his treasure look, and said: "Qufu, you personally take the 118th Regiment to fight, don't be rash, how can you defend the city if the casualties of the troops are too large?" Zou Cheng, you let Deng Dongping's 117th Regiment fight, you must pay attention to the main force of the Segu Brigade, if you encounter, you must stick to the city and wait for my reinforcements. ”
……
……
When Zhang Xiaohu received the order, he was confused at first and couldn't understand what the division was going to do, but the habit he had developed over the years made him not hesitate for a moment, and immediately called the battalion-level officers together for a meeting.
At this time, the vanguard of the 58th Brigade had already entered the territory of Jiaxiang, and Dai Cunxiang, the commander of the first battalion of the 115th Regiment, led his troops to take Juye, and marched to this side non-stop, and now he could not go back to the meeting.
There was no radio, so Zhang Xiaohu had to send a fast horse to inform them to stop and wait for him to come and command.
At the meeting, Zhang Xiaohu read out Sun Yumin's order in public and dispatched troops according to the order.
Junior High School Colonel Liu Guang, commander of the 116th Regiment, said: "Brigade commander, the division seat wants to eat half of Shandong in one bite." ”
Zhang Xiaohu kept frowning, thinking about Sun Yumin's thoughts after this order.
Colonel Liu Panshui, chief of staff of the brigade, saw that the brigade commander did not speak, so he spoke: "Commander Liu, don't understand the meaning of the division seat indiscriminately, in my opinion, the division seat is not a big appetite, he wants to use Jining as bait to catch the surrounding devils and puppet troops to take the bait, if my understanding is not wrong, the division seat should be a good show to encircle the point and send reinforcements." ”
As soon as these words came out, he immediately woke up Zhang Xiaohu, who was still meditating, his eyes lit up, and he said: "The chief of staff is right, with my understanding of the division, he must be going to sing a big drama for the people to see." ”
The officers of the 58th Brigade who gathered together all let out hearty laughter.
After dividing the troops according to the requirements of the telegram, Zhang Xiaohu personally led the 116th Regiment to take Shangwen, and asked the chief of staff Liu Panshui to take the newly formed Second Regiment around Gangtou, which is the farthest place in the road of the various departments after the division of troops, although the straight-line distance is closer than the direction of Shangwen, but they must detour, the distance will be the farthest, and the blocking task will also be the most arduous, because once the battle starts, the devil reinforcements in the direction of Gunzhou, which is closest to Jining, will be the first to reinforce, and they will inevitably have a bloody battle at that time.
When Lai Wenli led the 115th regiment to attack Jiaxiang County, he found that it was indeed an empty city, and he couldn't help but admire the gods of the division commander.
He was busy reporting the situation to the brigade headquarters and the division headquarters.
Sun Yumin took the telegram in Tang Chunhong's hand, his face was cold and expressionless. Tang Chunhong and Xiao Shanzi couldn't guess what was going on in his mind, and they didn't dare to ask him about the palindrome, and the two of them poked in front of him stupidly like wood.
Li Tiedan has already set off with the 116th and 117th regiments, and now there are still two battalions of the guard regiment and the troops of the new third regiment of the 59th brigade left by Sun Yumin's side.
After reading the telegram, Sun Yumin asked, "Director Tang, you may have to work hard in the past two days, not only to march with the troops, but also to maintain the normal operation of the radio station." ”
"Don't worry, Master. I'm fine. "Being in the masculine barracks all the year round has made Tang Chunhong lose the softness of many women, and she is as hard as a man when she speaks.
After Sun Yumin entered Jiaxiang County with his troops, Tang Chunhong quickly received a call from the 115th Regiment, the 116th Regiment and the newly formed First Regiment, the troops had already arrived at the predetermined location, and they were all ready, and now only Li Tiedan's 59th Brigade 117th and 118th regiments were left without news, which made Sun Yumin very anxious, for fear that Li Tiedan, the second goods, would forget his instructions and directly attack Gunzhou City.
At this moment, Li Tiedan's troops were blocked on the bank of a Zhufu River, unable to advance a single bit. After a day's rapid march, it was hard to find a bridge to cross the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, but I didn't expect to be blocked by the river that was only ten or twenty meters wide of the Zhufu River, Deng Dongping found a nearby villager to ask, only to know that there was a bridge nearby, the national army retreated and blew up the stone bridge, and now there is only a wooden bridge temporarily erected by the Japanese army near Yandian Town, which is guarded by the Japanese army and the puppet army, and also set up bunkers and checkpoints.
As soon as he heard that there was a bunker, Li Tiedan's heart was half cold, and he threw the steel helmet on his head to the ground, and exploded: "TMD, isn't this to force Lao Tzu to use a gun?" ”
Deng Dongping picked up his hat and said, "Don't get angry yet, isn't the newly formed regiment also going to a location called Gangshang Village to bypass Jining to stop the enemy?" We sent a telegram asking where they had come from. ”
Li Tie was even more angry when he heard this, he opened his mouth and scolded: "As soon as I send a telegram, the division will know, so should I mix up in the twentieth division?" ”
Deng Dongping also came to the fire, and scolded: "Is your face important or is this battle important now?" If you are afraid of losing face, send it in the name of my 117th regiment. ”
"No, you are not allowed to send a telegram to ask." Li Tiedan's attitude was very resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Deng Dongping was very angry, pointed at him, and said angrily: "How can you do this! ”
Chief of Staff Shi Dafu hurriedly came over to stop the two and said, "If you want to find a way, you can find a way, why did you quarrel instead?" ”
Both of them snorted twice and turned away.
Just when he was worried, a company commander of the 117th Regiment brought an old man in a long robe and came over, shouting excitedly: "Regiment commander, this old gentleman said that he knows that there is a hidden bridge that allows us to cross the river. ”
Li Tie was so happy by this shout that he got up, and quickly ran in front of the two, regardless of the old man's breathlessness, he took his hand and asked, "Is there really a dark bridge?" ”
