Chapter 8: Zhumadian
After I discussed with Commander Wang, I came to the camp of the three major teams of the southbound detachment, and I said a few words to the guards before coming to Lao Lang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I said to him, "We are going to stay and confuse the enemy, and I want your brigade to continue to follow Commander Wang south." The old man nodded.
In this way, Lao Lang followed Commander Wang to the vicinity of Zhumadian, where a *** mixed brigade was stationed.
The brigade commander of the mixed brigade surnamed Zhang, was playing in the room with several aunts and wives that day, when his adjutant suddenly rushed in and said to Brigade Commander Zhang: "Sir, a branch of the Eighth Route Army is coming to us. ā
Brigade Commander Zhang drove all the aunts and wives out and said to the adjutant: "I received a telegram from Chongqing yesterday asking us to wipe out this Eighth Route Army. ā
The adjutant nodded and said, "Sir, what are we going to do next?" Brigade Commander Zhang said: "We have set up an ambush outside the city and give them an ambush." ā
Commander Wang asked Captain Lang to take the vanguard to the front to reconnoiter the situation.
Captain Lang led the vanguard to a few kilometers from Zhumadian, and when the vanguard was about to arrive, Lao Lang suddenly felt that there was danger, and he immediately asked the soldiers to inform the large army to stop advancing.
Captain Lang quietly came to the vicinity of Zhumadian with the vanguard, and after thinking about it, Captain Lang asked the scouts to investigate the situation.
After a while, the scout returned to Captain Lang and said, "Captain, there are a large number of national troops lying in ambush outside the city. ā
Captain Lang sighed and said to the scout, "You go and explain the situation to Commander Wang." The scout nodded and went to Commander Wang.
After a while, the scout came back and said to Captain Lang: "Commander Wang said that he just received information that the national army wants to destroy us, and it may be that this national army wants to ambush our detachment. ā
Captain Lang said to the scout, "See if there is any other route." The scout shook his head and said that it was difficult, and it was difficult to walk here, surrounded by mountains, and the army was not easy to walk.
Captain Lang said: "It seems that this national army can only be scared. After saying that, Captain Lang told the soldiers about the plan.
A battalion of the vanguard came to the city dressed in the clothes of ordinary people.
There was only one guard company of the national army in the city, and the first battalion came to the headquarters of the national army, and the commander of the first battalion looked around and led the soldiers to the dispatch room of the headquarters.
The soldiers in the news room were listening to the situation of the Japanese army, and suddenly the door was kicked open, and a group of Eighth Route Army troops rushed in from outside.
The squad leader of the dispatcher came to the front of the first battalion commander and looked up and down, saying, "Who are you?" The commander of the first battalion said, "I'm sorry, we want to borrow your radio." ā
The squad leader said, "Do you have any of our chief's white stripes?" The first battalion commander shook his head. The squad leader said, "I'm sorry, we can't give you a white slip without the chief." ā
The first battalion commander smiled and said to the squad leader, "Then there is no way." The commander of the first battalion turned to make a look at the soldiers.
When the soldiers saw the battalion commander's eyes, they all rushed to the newspaper room and arrested the soldiers, and a battalion commander came to the squad leader and said, "We can only borrow it like this." After saying that, he knocked out the squad leader.
After the commander of the first battalion came to the city after the transmitter was smashed, he asked the soldiers to distribute leaflets everywhere, and the common people read the leaflets issued by the commander of the battalion and criticized the national army one after another.
The commander of the first battalion told the soldiers to smash all the transmitters and then led the soldiers to the camp of the guard company, and the commander of the first battalion asked the soldiers to bury mines at the camp gate.
When the battalion commander saw that the mines had been planted, he fired a shot into the sky. When the guard company heard the sound of gunshots, they immediately picked up their guns and rushed out of the camp, and the sound of bombardment rang out.
Brigade Commander Zhang, who was waiting for the Eighth Route Army outside the city, suddenly heard the gunshots in the city and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to return to the city.
Just as the soldiers were about to return to the city, the scouts came to Brigade Commander Zhang and said, "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is rushing towards us. ā
Brigade Commander Zhang ordered the soldiers to deliver a heavy blow to the Eighth Route Army.
The two sides were fighting fiercely, when suddenly the city gates opened, and a battalion of soldiers rushed out of the city to shoot at the positions of the national army.
After a while, the commander of the first battalion grabbed several national soldiers and came to Captain Lang and said, "Captain, the mission is complete. ā
Captain Lang nodded and handed over the prisoners of war to the local guerrillas, and Captain Lang reported the situation to the commander and continued to move forward.
Due to the deaths, wounds, and wounds of the Nationalist troops in Zhumadian, and the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army had no combat effectiveness, the Japanese army easily occupied Zhumadian.
