Chapter 171: There are still things that are most needed
The railroad was destroyed, and the military train could not move for a while, and it was necessary to wait for the railway to be completed before it could continue to advance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After returning to the platform, Lieutenant Devil ordered the squadron of escort troops led by him to get off the train, and sent a team to guard around the column, while the other personnel rested at the station and stood by.
What Lieutenant Devil didn't expect was that his squadron had just gathered down the column and was listening to his order, when the detachment of the Japanese squad in Lianzhen who stayed at the station suddenly opened fire on them.
Clucking, clucking, the crisp 96-type light machine gun sang and spat tongues of fire, and rolled towards the Japanese troops who were standing in line on the platform.
Not only was the detachment firing, but machine guns were all sticking out of the box office of the station's improvised brick building, the stationmaster's room, and the windows and doorways of the freight station, clucking, clucking, all firing fiercely.
Immediately afterwards, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Eastward Advance Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, wearing Japanese uniforms, rushed into the station from outside the station and opened heavy fire on the devils.
The Japanese were very vigilant, and there were machine guns on the columns, and two machine gun crews did not come down on the columns. Originally, there were two machine guns that fired condescendingly from the top of the ranks, at least for a while. Unfortunately, when the devils gathered and lined up, the devil shooters of the two machine gun groups looked at the platform together, and as a result, they were the first to die, and they were all shot to the head by bullets, killing them with one shot!
Needless to say, it was Xiao Siming's masterpiece!
After the devil squadron escorting the military column was wiped out, the loaded military column completely became the trophy of the Eighth Route Army!
There were nine carriages, except for one guard carriage, the other eight carriages were all loaded with supplies transported to the front line in Taierzhuang, and only the 75 field artillery and 75 mountain artillery shells pulled the whole two wagons.
Others, such as 92 infantry artillery shells, grenadier grenades, mortar shells, various types of poison gas shells, tank artillery shells, armor-piercing shells, etc., are also wagons.
Just the shells, it pulled slowly three wagons!
As for light and heavy machine-gun bullets, vehicle-mounted machine-gun bullets for tanks, armored vehicles and light and heavy machine-gun bullets for infantry, a wagon was pulled.
The remaining infantry light weapons and ammunition, including grenades and Arisaka bullets, were also wagoned.
Of the three wagons that were born, one was medicine and first aid supplies, and the remaining two wagons were canned beef, canned fish, compressed biscuits, and rice and flour oil.
Things look like a lot, but in fact they are not much, and this is just a supply to the Seya detachment of the 10th Division attacking Taierzhuang, that is, an infantry brigade, plus one or two artillery brigades, one or two cavalry squadrons, one or two engineer brigades and tank squadrons. This little thing was really delivered to the Seya detachment, and with the fierce battle on the Taierzhuang front, the high-intensity battle damage may be just one day, or two or three days of supply.
This day was March 28th, that is, the second day when the Segu detachment bombarded the city wall of Taierzhuang with artillery, and the little devil couldn't imagine that the fifth theater was using Taierzhuang as bait to catch them on the bait, and he thought that he could quickly capture Taierzhuang, break the enemy in front of him, and quickly capture Xuzhou.
With such trophies, Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng were already smiling, but Xiao Siming said that it was far from enough, and he had to block the news, so that the Japanese army did not know that the Jinpu Road and the town section were destroyed, and then continued to send military columns, maybe they could catch big fish!
What Xiao Siming said was that the Fifth Theater of the Taierzhuang Front Line must have fought very well, and the Japanese casualties must have been very large, and the weapons and equipment were also greatly damaged. Tianjin, on the other hand, was the base and base camp of the Japanese invasion of China, and it was not known how many weapons, equipment, and ammunition were stored, supporting the combat operations of the entire North China Front. Don't be in a hurry, wait slowly, as long as the Japanese army does not know that the Eighth Route Army has captured Liancheng Town, and does not know that the railway has been destroyed, there will be military columns going south to support the Taierzhuang operation.
Xiao Siming's opinion was that he did not carry the weapons and ammunition on the military column during the day, and wanted to deceive the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could continue to reinforce the Taierzhuang front line through the Jinpu Road, and make one or two more military trains to expand the results of the battle.
Neither the Japanese troops in Dongguang nor the Japanese troops in Wuqiao received reports of the destruction of the railroad in Liancheng, and it was naturally impossible for the Japanese troops in Cangxian and Tianjin in the north and the Japanese troops in Dexian and Jinan in the south to know about the interruption of the Jinpu Road.
Since the end of the operation in the Pingjin area, the operation in the northern section of the Jinpu Road, and the end of the operation in the northern section of the Pinghan Road, the Japanese army has firmly controlled the northern section of the Jinpu Road, the 29th Army has withdrawn, the Third Army of Han Fuqu has withdrawn, and the regular army has all withdrawn from the North China Plain.
The northern section of the Jinpu Road was attacked, and it was after Zeng Guohua's fifth detachment advanced to the Jilu border.
Historically, in May, Zeng Guohua led five detachments and Sun Jixian led the Jinpu detachment to advance to the Hebei-Shandong border, and in order to respond to the battle of Xuzhou, they attacked the section from Cangxian to Wuqiao on Jinpu Road and destroyed the railway. Before this, the miscellaneous armed forces in Hebei and Shandong and the miscellaneous armed forces in Hebei were busy pulling people and guns, collecting grain and distributing money, and grabbing territory, and no one attacked the railway. Jinpu Road under Japanese occupation was safe.
Now, due to Xiao Siming's birth, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army advanced eastward to the Hebei and Shandong borders, and the strength of the troops is not as good as the five detachments, the proportion of the old Red Army is also not as good as the five detachments, and the cohesion of the troops is also not as good as the old second battalion of the 685th regiment, that is, the fifth detachment. But there is one thing, and that is absolutely far beyond the five detachments: tactical thinking!
This point is especially important for your life-and-death war to destroy the country!
Xiao Siming's judgment was right, the Japanese troops at Wuqiao Station did not call or send telegrams to ask why the military train did not arrive on time, and the Japanese troops in Cangxian and Tianjin did not call or send telegrams to ask where the military train had arrived.
During the war years, intelligence was especially important. However, from Tianjin to Dexian, Jinan, Tai'an, and Tengxian, they are now all occupied by the Japanese army, and they are very safe. There was another squadron of Japanese troops escorting the military train, and under normal circumstances, it was absolutely safe. In addition, at this time, whether it was a telegram or a telephone, it was far from that of later generations. Under normal circumstances, it is only after the military column encounters danger or difficulty that the Japanese army will know what is going on in the military column. In a situation like the present, the military train was quietly parked at the Liancheng railway station, and the Japanese troops along the line did not receive a telegram or phone call for help, and generally thought that it was late, or that the locomotive had broken down, and no one would think that it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
According to the operational area of the Eighth Route Army demarcated by the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission, at this time, the Eighth Route Army could not, should not be, and would not appear on the Jinpu Road.
Historically, the reason why Peng Mingzhi and Wu Faxian were able to lead the 685th Regiment to the front and advance into the breathing area was because Mr. Peng was going to Xuzhou to attend the combat meeting, and the 685th Regiment was going to the Huxi area as Mr. Peng's guard unit. As a result, as soon as they arrived in the breathing area, they fought a good battle, and when they received the ******'s commendation, the Military Commission acquiesced in the fact that the 685th Regiment had advanced to Huxi.
Otherwise, how could the ****** and the Military Commission allow the 685th Regiment, the most elite regiment of the Eighth Route Army, to leave Shanxi and advance into the Huxi region?
At this time, even the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission couldn't imagine that the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade arrived on Jinpu Road, and the little devil couldn't even think of it!
By half past four in the afternoon, Liancheng Railway Station finally ushered in the second military column!
The first type of military column stopped on the track to occupy the road, and the second military column must have only stopped and waited.
It's a pity that this trip to the army was pulled by more than 1,000 little devils who supplemented the battle losses of the 10th Division, and there was no oil and water. Xiao Siming had no choice but to reluctantly send the more than 1,000 little devils who reinforced the Seya detachment to the Japanese shrine one by one.
So far, Xiao Siming has absolutely nothing, but in the eyes of Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, Huo Cheng and the cadres and soldiers, this result is already very amazing!
Wang Lushui has already reminded Xiao Siming several times to accept it when he sees it, lest the little devil find out and send planes to bomb Lianzhen Station, all the results will be in vain!
Xiao Siming's part moved,. A person sat in the stationmaster's room of Lianzhen Railway Station, smoking while drinking water, without saying a word.
Logically speaking, Wang Lushui is the political commissar of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade and the secretary of the army commanders' committee, and he is a well-deserved leader. Although Xiao Siming is the captain, he is the deputy secretary of the Military and Political Commission and the second-in-command. He has to listen to Wang Lushui! In fact, it is just the opposite, it may be that Wang Lushui is Xiao Siming's old leader and knows him very well, or it may be that Xiao Siming has many ideas and high methods, and it is more likely that Xiao Siming commanded this army to create so many brilliant achievements, anyway, since the independent battalion was upgraded to an advance brigade, including Wang Lushui, cadres and soldiers have consciously or unintentionally regarded Xiao Siming as the core of this army. In the end, Xiao Siming made the final decision on major matters. Although he was modest and always consulted the commissars.
Xiao Siming didn't speak, whether it was Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, Huo Cheng, what he said was just talking, it could only be an opinion and suggestion, but it couldn't become the determination of the head of the eastward advance brigade and the actions of the troops!
Seeing that Xiao Siming didn't say a word, Wang Lushui was anxious, slapped his hand on the table, and said loudly: "Captain, it's time to let the troops withdraw!" ”
Xiao Siming seemed to have just woken up, looked at Wang Lushui, then at Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng, and said honestly: "Don't worry, wait a minute, the Japanese army still has a military train!" If the judgment is correct, there should be something that is most needed outside on this military train! ”
There are shells, bullets, medicines, rice and white flour, and more than 1,000 Japanese reinforcements have been wiped out, what else is needed most?
Wang Lushui, Huang Hua and the others were silent, not knowing what else the little devil could send to the front line of Taierzhuang! (To be continued.) )
