Attacking the little devils who were slaughtering the village were the first battalion and one company of the Wudi Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The pen is www.biquge.info company commander Han Baohu and instructor Sun Zhiyuan.

The Wudi Independent Regiment was adapted from Zhang Ziliang's People's League, but the reorganization was very thorough, and through the grievance movement, the complex elements in the team were eliminated and became a brand-new and pure Eighth Route Army team.

Although the Wudi Independent Regiment is a newly reorganized unit, the cadres of the battalion, company, and platoon are all backbones transferred from the main force, which makes up for the lack of combat effectiveness to a certain extent.

Zhou Kaidong, head of the Wudi Independent Regiment, and Chen Qicai, political commissar of the Wudi Independent Regiment, received orders under the unified command of Hu Qingyun, chief of staff of the detachment, to lead the troops to the railway and highway south of Dexian County to the Yellow River to attack the guerrilla attack, disrupt the Japanese army's communications, and fight the Japanese army's small transport team.

The original intention of this order, Xiao Siming made it very clear to Hu Qingyun, that is, to mobilize the Japanese puppet army stationed in Dexian County to reinforce the south and turn Dexian County into an empty city!

The Fourth Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment commanded by Huo Cheng, which were reorganized from the 31st Detachment, received orders that were basically the same as those received by Hu Qingyun's group, except that the attack locations were different.

The order Huo Cheng received was to command the Fourth Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment to conduct guerrilla attacks between Wuqiao, Dongguang, Nanpi, and Cangxian, and to attack the Japanese army's transport troops by guerrilla warfare.

Xiao Siming's original intention was to seize Dezhou City, and use our army's capture of Dezhou City to shake the Japanese army and mobilize the Japanese army, forcing the main Japanese army that was pursuing the main force of the Fifth Theater retreating from Xuzhou along the Longhai Road and Jinpu Road to stop and return to the division to fight for Dezhou City, so as to avoid the tragedy that the First Theater had to blow up the Huayuankou.

This campaign concept is in line with the reality of the current battlefield situation!

The Japanese army mobilized 10 elite divisions, three independent mixed brigades, two mixed brigades, and a large number of aviation and heavy artillery units in an attempt to gather and annihilate the main force of the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area. At this time, the Japanese army, like a mad dog that has eaten human flesh, is chasing the ass of the Chinese army and attacking, where would they have thought that the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army hidden on the border of Hebei and Shandong would stab them in the ass?

At this time, Dezhou City was the garrison of the Japanese army in North China!

Rice, white flour, weapons and ammunition brought from the Japanese mainland and from the northeast were transported from Tianjin and Guanwai to Dezhou City through canals and highways, and then from Dezhou City to various units of the Japanese army on the front line. If the Eighth Route Army captured Dezhou City at this time and captured a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition stored by the Japanese army in Dezhou City, the elite divisions of the Japanese army on the front line would suddenly become hungry soldiers, and they would not be able to stop the pace of crazy attacks!

If the main force of the Japanese army dares not to stop the pace of attack, and still pursues along the Longhai Road and Jinpu Road regardless of the hesitation, and occupies our army in Dexian, it is possible to cooperate with our army in central and southern Hebei to turn the entire North China Plain upside down, destroy the Japanese puppet occupation system on the entire North China Plain, and let the achievements made by the little devils since the Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident come to naught!

This point, the North China Front Command and the Japanese base camp will definitely see it very clearly!

The reason why Xiao Siming dared to formulate such a bold plan was because the small city of Dezhou was connected to Hengshui, Shijiazhuang, and Taiyuan in the west, Jinan and Qingdao in the east, Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Luxi and southwest Luxi in the south to Longhai Road, which was a very important strategic fulcrum for the Japanese army invading China in the North China Plain. It is the place where the enemy must be saved!

Xiao Siming's troops are insufficient, and the eastward advance detachment is a newly formed unit with limited combat effectiveness, otherwise, I am afraid that Xiao Siming will dare to wave his troops to take Beijing or Tianjin!

The key to the success of the battle plan to capture Dezhou lies in whether the Hu Qingyun clique can successfully mobilize the Japanese puppet army and the Huocheng clique in Dezhou City, and whether or not the Japanese puppet army stationed in the section from Wuqiao to Cangxian will have the illusion that they will not dare to quickly reinforce Dezhou. Otherwise, the Japanese puppet army relied on Dezhou City to hold on, and with the 6,000 troops of the eastward advance detachment led by Xiao Siming, it would directly attack Dezhou City, and the cost would definitely be very large! Once the siege of the city is not smooth, the troops are under the fortified city, and the enemy from Wuqiao to Cangxian can quickly reinforce, and it will form a flanking attack on our army!

If the main force of the Japanese puppet army in Texas City is transferred out, our army will take Texas City lightly, and then we can meet the Japanese puppet army that has returned to Texas City in the field, and the offensive and defensive positions will change, and the initiative on the battlefield will be in the hands of our army!

It is said that Xiao Siming is a soul traverser, and he also studied the history of warfare before the soul traversal, and he knew very well that the strategic policy of the Eighth Route Army at this time was guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army would not allow the main force to concentrate on fighting a war of movement and annihilation. However, Xiao Siming was afraid that the First War Zone, unable to resist the enemy, would blow up the mouth of the garden and use the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy, causing the tragedy of 893,000 innocent deaths and the displacement of 12 million people.

Xiao Siming knew that blowing up the embankment of the Yellow River and diverting the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy was not a crazy conjecture of any one person, but had been proposed by the German military adviser Falkenhausen as early as 1935.

There is no way, the enemy is strong and I am weak, as long as we can stop the pace of the Japanese attack, what can we do?

Moreover, although diverting the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy was a method of self-harm and self-destruction, and the Chinese nation paid heavy losses, it did play a role in disrupting the Japanese army's strategic deployment and blocking the pace of the Japanese army's offensive strategically.

It was precisely because the water of the Yellow River after the breach of the embankment rolled down from the southeastern Henan Plain like a wild horse, and flowed into the Huai River in two ways, creating a yellow flood area on the Great Plains, so that the Chinese and Japanese armies could confront each other across the river and stabilize the war situation in the Central Plains, and the attempt of the Japanese North China Front to capture Zhengzhou and quickly move south along the Pinghan Road to capture Wuhan was temporarily bankrupt. From then on, the North China Front and the Central China Front of the Japanese invasion of China had to fight in two different areas.

This situation continued unanimous until 19944, when Shunroku Hahata commanded the Japanese army to launch the Henan-Xianggui Campaign, opening up the mainland communication line, and the Kuomintang army collapsed. However, at that time, the defeat of the Japanese army was decided, and the battle of Yuxianggui was only a flash in the pan and could not save the fate of the Japanese army.

Xiao Siming, who has crossed the soul, will never allow the tragedy of opening the mouth of the garden and leading the Yellow River to repel the enemy in history!

As for whether it would lead to the rapid capture of Zhengzhou by the Japanese army, and then the rapid capture of Wuhan by the Japanese army along the Pinghan Road, Xiao Siming also thought about it. But the lesser of two evils is also a helpless thing. Moreover, even if the Japanese army could capture Zhengzhou along the Longhai Road and then move south along the Pinghan Road to capture Wuhan, the losses would be much lighter than the 893,000 dead and 12 million people displaced!

Besides, in history, Chiang Kai-shek's strategic goal of ordering the opening of the Huayuankou to divert the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy was only partially achieved, and it failed to stop the Japanese army from capturing Wuhan three months later!

As long as he can save the people, Xiao Siming will not have a white soul to cross once!

This is the original intention of Xiao Siming's decision to launch the campaign to capture Texas!

Zhou Kaidong, commander of the Wudi Independent Regiment, and Chen Qicai, political commissar, led the troops to advance in concealment, and when they arrived at the side of the road, the first battalion and one company, which were the vanguard companies of the whole regiment, happened to encounter the little devil slaughtering the village.

Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan were both the backbone of the Red Army that Wang Lushui and Huang Hua brought from the headquarters of the 115th Division of the Western Shanxi Province to the anti-Japanese Qingyang Infantry School of the Eastward Advance Brigade.

Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan rushed to the front of the whole company with shell guns, and as soon as they came up, they ordered grenades to be thrown at the two cars parked by the Japanese army at the entrance of the village, and the two machine guns of the devils were blown up first!

There was a machine gun crew on each of the two cars at the entrance of the village, and the devil warrant officer commanding the machine gun team held a command knife in his hand, his face was facing the village, and he kept indicating the direction of machine gun fire, not letting go of any villager he could see trying to escape from the village.

The little devil was so arrogant that he didn't even set up a cordon outside the village, and only then did he successfully conceal the enemy!

This kind of fighter, in the eyes of the old Red Army Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan, is simply a little devil who sent them war exploits, how can they let it go!

With the word "type" from Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan, the first battalion and one company of the Wudi Independent Regiment, which was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, opened fire on the two cars of the devil, and everyone only fired one shot, and Han Baohu shouted: "Drop the bomb!" ”

The rumbling grenade explosion sounded, and the two machine gun crews with their butts back and their guns pointed at the devils in the village were immediately drowned in the smoke of the grenade explosion.

Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan, who led the whole company to rush up, jumped into a car by themselves, grabbed the devil's machine gun, and when they checked it, they found that it was not the crutch used by the main force, but the crooked handle, and they didn't care so much, so they were directly put on top of the car.

I heard Han Baohu order loudly: "Take the squad as a unit, go to the roof, press the devils to beat, and blow them up with a grenade!" ”

There were two Japanese crooked machine guns to cover, and the platoon commanders of the three platoons immediately commanded the troops to rush into the village and began to fight with the little devils who were doing evil in the village.

As soon as Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai heard that the Japanese army was doing it in Tucun, the vanguard company and the little devils, they immediately led the main force to catch up and plunged into the battle.

The little devils who slaughtered the village did not have many troops, that is, a team of about 50 people, who only cared about wreaking havoc in the village, not beware of the Eighth Route Army killing them, and it was a regiment that came!

Although the little devil was well-trained and had strong combat effectiveness, his troops were insufficient, and he was caught off guard, and the outcome of this battle naturally ended with a complete victory for the Wudi Independent Regiment.

The last little devil hid in a family's pigsty, and was blown out of the pigsty by a grenade from the Eighth Route Army, and became a stump.

As soon as the battle ended, the village was filled with cries, and the villagers were looking for the remains of their loved ones.

Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai commanded the troops to help the villagers extinguish the fire and save people, and then asked the villagers about the activities of the Japanese puppet army in this area, and immediately decided to besiege the Tuqiao stronghold and mobilize the Japanese puppet army in Dezhou City to help!
