Chapter 38 Special Battle Heroes of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region
The excitement is not over!
After the flag was awarded, Xiao Siming just stood back in the queue, and heard Shu Tong say loudly again: "In the Jinchaji anti-Japanese eight-way siege struggle, the independent battalion of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army fought bravely and won successive battles, and a number of combat heroes represented by Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui, and Chen Yisheng with outstanding combat achievements and outstanding achievements emerged. The Provisional Administrative Committee of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region decided to commend Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui, Chen Yisheng and other combat heroes, and awarded the title of Combat Heroes of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region! ”
After speaking, Shu Tong turned around and ordered the cadres who followed him: "Take the medal!" ”
The two cadres took off a blanket made of homespun cloth from the horse, brought it to Shu Tong, took out a small wooden box from the blanket, opened the lid, and handed it to Shu Tong.
I heard Shu Tong say: "From the beginning of the Tibetan Mountain Temple to the capture of the county seat of Yuxian County and the ambush of Ao Zipo, Xiao Siming killed 62 enemies with a single soldier, setting a record for the Chinese army to kill the enemy by a single soldier!" And based on the wounded squad of the 685th Regiment and the anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade of Mengpingyang Shouyu County, one company and one platoon, the troops were organized and fought successively, and the troops were developed into the current independent battalion of the 115th Division, with outstanding meritorious achievements! Xiao Siming was awarded the title of Special Combat Hero of the Jin-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, and a Gold Medal of Special Combat Hero was awarded for encouragement! Xiao Siming, out of the ranks, come forward to receive the award! ”
The special combat hero of the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region, or a gold medal, oh my God!
For a while, Xiao Siming's brain was a little insufficient!
Shu Tong, a photojournalist with the "Anti-Enemy Daily", took his camera and lined up the precious pictures when the flag was presented just now. Mei Ying didn't bring a camera because Xiao Siming didn't expect the leaders to come to present the flag and present the award, and such a precious lens couldn't be taken.
Just when Xiao Siming's brain was a little insufficient, Zheng Xiuchuan, who was standing beside him, stretched out his hand and gently pushed him.
Xiao Siming was shocked, replied loudly, "to", and came out of the queue again, clicking, taking a straight step, and walked in front of Shu Tong.
The military posture is as standard as the honor guard in the military parade in later generations!
With this military posture, the cadres and soldiers who came with Shu Tong, Zhou Jianping, and Liu Daosheng were staring round!
The cadres and soldiers of the independent battalion have undergone strict queue training, but when they saw Xiao Siming's majestic military posture, they all beat the drum in their hearts, and they couldn't help but compare the gap between their military posture and Xiao Siming's military posture, and their chests were taller and they stood straighter!
Mei Ying didn't bring a camera and couldn't take pictures, so she stood in the camp queue when she was in line. At this time, seeing that Xiao Siming was not tall and his figure was still a little thin, but when he was walking, he raised his head and chest, and his arms shook as if measured with a ruler, and he had a steely momentum, and he thought in his heart, although this Xiao Siming was a small ghost, although he said that he was his object in front of several people that night and did not respect himself, he was indeed a man!
Xiao Siming is not just a man, but a well-known, hard-hearted, and iron-blooded man who kills devils without mercy!
Shu Tong took out the golden medal from the box, didn't say a word, his movements were very meticulous, his expression was very solemn, and he wore it on Xiao Siming's chest!
After putting on the medal, Shu Tongcai took a step back, raised his hand to salute, and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, protect the family and defend the country!" ”
After Xiao Siming returned the salute, he also shouted, "Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, protect the family and defend the country!" ”
Shu Tong is a well-known "calligrapher of the Red Army, a pen in the party", since joining the army in 1930, has been engaged in political work, very good at propaganda and agitation. It is said that when he took Wang Zonghuai and a few people to raise a regiment in Fanzhi County in October, many intellectuals who joined the army came to the calligraphy of the propaganda slogans written by Shu Tong!
The reporter of the "Anti-Enemy Daily" of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region pressed the shutter and took this precious shot!
After presenting the award to Xiao Siming, Shu Tong said: "From the beginning of the Tibetan Mountain Temple to meet the enemy, Wang Lushui, deputy director of the Political Training Office of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, who was recuperating from his wounds, played the role of the Red Army commander in being calm, bold and careful, and commanding firmly, leading and assisting Xiao Siming to organize and command the troops, and achieved successive victories. Chen Yisheng, secretary of the central county committee of the five counties of Shouyu in Mengpingyang, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, led the anti-Japanese guerrilla brigade of the five counties of Mengpingyang and Shouyu to join the wounded squad of the 685 Regiment led by Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming. The Provisional Administrative Committee of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region decided to award Wang Lushui, deputy director of the Political Training Office of the 685th Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and Chen Yisheng, secretary of the Central County Committee of Mengpingyang Shouyu County, Jin-Chahar-Hebei Border Region, to be awarded the title of 'First-Class Combat Hero of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region', and each awarded a silver medal of the first-class combat hero of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region! Wang Lushui, Chen Yisheng, out of the ranks! ”
Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng are both leading cadres, and after meeting Shu Tongtong and his party, they both stood beside Shu Tong, Zhou Jianping, and Liu Daosheng. It's just that their military posture doesn't seem to have Xiao Siming's military posture norms!
Shu Tong and Zhou Jianping respectively gave Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng medals!
Wang Lushui is okay, he has received many awards for meritorious service, and he is very calm.
Chen Yisheng has always been engaged in political work, although he was born in the old Red Army, but he was awarded a combat hero and wore a medal, this is the first time. Therefore, Chen Yisheng, the old Red Army, was excited, his face was red and his neck was thick, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
In history, Chen Yisheng died in late December last year, and now due to the appearance of Xiao Siming, Chen Yisheng is alive and vigorous!
In addition to Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng, 11 people, including the first company commander Qiu Wei, instructor Yuan Gang, deputy company commander Chu Zhenan, second company instructor Zhang Huaide, deputy company commander Zhang Pengfei, third company commander Wang Meng, deputy company commander Sang Gancheng, guard platoon commander Chen Desheng, deputy captain of the artillery team Liu Li, deputy captain of the heavy machine gun team Wang Shengli, and captain of the recruit team Deng Wenli were awarded the title of "Second-class Combat Hero of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region"!
These eleven people are the first batch of wounded members of the 685th Regiment to enter the battle in the battle of the Tibetan Mountain Temple, and they are also the backbone of Xiao Siming's formation of troops and Lian Zhan Lianjie!
Zheng Xiuchuan, deputy commander of the independent battalion, Shi Poshan, deputy instructor, and Cao Mingan, commander of the second company, were awarded the title of "Third-level Combat Heroes of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region"!
Among these 22 people, 11 were wounded in the second batch of the 685th Regiment who participated in the battle to take Yuxian, and among the remaining 11 people, 6 were in a company and a platoon of the guerrilla brigade, and 5 were newly joined the independent battalion fighters who were rescued in Yuxian County, all of whom were particularly outstanding fighters in the next battle of Aozipo!
Needless to say, this list of winners comes from the report written by Wang Lushui to his superiors!
As for Wang Lushui himself, it was objectively evaluated by the leaders based on their contributions!
Next, Shu Tong, director of the Political Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, made a mobilization speech entitled "Drive the Japanese Invaders Out of the Border Areas" to the troops! Zhou Jianping, commander of the Fourth Division, and Liu Daosheng, political commissar, also made mobilization speeches, encouraging the soldiers to learn from the heroes and make meritorious contributions to the enemy!
After the flag presentation and awarding the awards, Shu Tong returned to the county government, and Shu Tong told Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming that Commander Nie was originally going to make all the medals gold, but unfortunately it was too difficult now, and only one gold medal was made in the whole military region, which was the special combat hero medal awarded to Xiao Siming. The rest can only be made into silver. In order to make these medals, the comrades of the underground party in Beiping paid their hearts and minds, and also paid for the lives of two comrades!
Xiao Siming said that his heart was heavy!
Shu Tong then reported on the enemy situation in Yangquan Town, Pingding County, and Shouyang County, south of Yuxian County, saying that the military region's radio station had used the Japanese army's secret code book handed over by the independent battalion to monitor the Japanese army's radio station. From the telegram exchange of the Japanese army, it was learned that the Japanese 109th Division was mobilizing troops and preparing to attack Yuxian again. He came this time to deploy the four divisions to fight against the Japanese attack on the orders of Commander Nie!
What Xiao Siming is looking forward to is that the Japanese army will take the initiative to attack!
Xiao Siming immediately reported that the independent battalion had completed its initial training and was ready to go to the battlefield at any time!
Shu Tong admired Xiao Siming's sense of seeking war, and said with a smile: "Commander Nie said that although the independent battalion is fighting with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Wang Lushui is a backbone cadre, and Xiao Siming is a red ghost, so he must obey orders and listen to commands!" However, the Japanese army's attack this time is likely to be very large, maybe it is a brigade and regiment-level troops, and it is not a way for us to hit it hard. Therefore, the military region demanded that the four sub-districts extensively mobilize the masses and use guerrilla warfare to deal with the devils! ”
If the Japanese army dispatched brigade and regimental troops to attack Yuxian, guerrilla warfare would indeed be the only feasible way!
Zhou Jianping, the commander of the Fourth Division, and Liu Daosheng, the political commissar, were all present, and Xiao Siming immediately asked the chiefs to fight!
Zhou Jianping said that some time ago, the three detachments mobilized the masses, expanded the troops, and conducted training at the same time, but what they need to do now is to gather their troops, assemble their troops, and prepare for war. The independent battalion has two tasks: the first task is to escort Wang Lushui back to the team, and the commander of the 115th Division has already sent a telegram to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, saying that Wang Lushui has been appointed as the political commissar of the 115th Division's supplementary regiment, and requesting that the independent battalion be notified to escort Wang Lushui back to the team. The second task is to attack Zhengtai Road, with the idea of disrupting the rhythm of the Japanese army's attack and covering the third division to complete the assembly of troops!
When explaining the combat mission, Zhou Jianping said: "Battalion Commander Xiao, when you attack Zhengtai Road, you are going to face the edge of the devil, and you have to adopt the method of multi-way attack by a small army, so that the little devil is confused!" In this battle, the most important thing is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and we must find out the enemy's situation, and then we can avoid the main force of the Japanese army, find gaps and crack the cracks, and specifically check the weak links of the devils! Do you understand? ”
Xiao Siming probably knew better than Zhou Jianping, who had experienced a hundred battles, how to fight this battle, but he still answered honestly, "Understood!" ”
Zhou Jianping seemed a little uneasy, and confessed: "Battalion Commander Xiao, although the independent battalion has achieved successive victories in the battle to capture the county seat, you can't be hot-headed, you have to know that the people who participated in the battle at that time were all old Red Army, and later joined the veterans of the rescued National * Army, and fought an ambush war, which is the basis for you to win the battle." Although the current independent battalion has expanded its strength and is well equipped, there are too many recruits. When you win a battle, it is easy to say that once you fall into the Japanese defense circle, the troops may collapse at any time! You must have a number in your heart, and you must not let the troops fall into a desperate situation! ”
Xiao Siming replied that please rest assured, the commander will never let the devil make dumplings!
