According to Chen Zaidao, at the Taiyuan meeting in October last year, the Northern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee handed over the work of Jinpu Ludong to the leaders of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoShandong Province appointed Yu Wenbin, secretary of the Lubei Special Committee, and Ma Zhenhua, the head of the Jinnan Special Committee, who was originally subordinate to the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, got in touch and established the Hebei-Shandong Border Working Committee, with Yu Wenbin as secretary, Ma Zhenhua as the organization member, and Di Yudong and others as members. Ma Zhenhua launched an uprising in Yanshan, organized a team called the North China People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and established county party committees in six counties, including Leling, Shanghe, Ningjin, Wudi, Yanshan, and Cangxian. Later, in order to expand the united front, the Hebei-Shandong Border Work Committee decided to accept the appointment of the Kuomintang and renamed the North China Anti-Japanese People's National Salvation Army the 31st Guerrilla Detachment of the Special Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army.

Chen Zaidao said that there are only 31 detachments in the hands of our party, and there are about 1,000 people in the hands of our party. In February, they sent people to ask for help, and the eastward column sent Wang Yumin, the political commissar of the Jinpu detachment, to bring a platoon and a radio station to reinforce, but they didn't expect to be stopped by the Liuli Society, killed Wang Yumin, and detained other personnel.

These situations, there is no need for Chen Zaidao to introduce, Xiao Siming is clear in his heart. But Wang Lushui and Huang Hua don't know!

The Hebei-Lubian Special Committee did not have a radio station, and the Shandong Provincial Party Committee withdrew south to Lunan and could not be contacted. The situation in the Hebei and Lubian provinces is not clear to the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, and the Northern Bureau. Except for Xiao Siming, Chen Zaidao is the person who knows best.

Of course, Chen Zaidao only knew a little about the situation, and he didn't know the details.

After the cavalry regiment of the 129th Division arrived at Nangong, the East Column began to reorganize the troops, relying on the original four companies, plus the local armed forces and the integrated miscellaneous armed forces, the first regiment of the East Column, plus the cavalry regiment, is equivalent to two main regiments.

With the strength of the two main regiments, Song Renqiang and Chen Zaidao showed their strength, set off an anti-Japanese storm in the land of southern Hebei, and won three more county towns in just a few days.

Chen Zaidao said with great interest that the situation in southern Hebei is very good, and if this development continues, it may be necessary to consider the establishment of the southern Hebei Military Region. It is also necessary to establish a unified anti-Japanese democratic regime, organize the people to rise up against Japan, and support our army in the war.

Xiao Siming knew that the Southern Hebei Military Region was formally established in late April. At the beginning of May, the main force of the 129th Division, which had ended the anti-Japanese nine-way siege, began to advance into southern Hebei in a big way. The first to arrive were the two regiments and five detachments led by Xu Xiangqian, and Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng then led the main force as the third echelon to Taihang. The situation of the War of Resistance in southern Hebei will soon be completely opened!

Seeing that Song and Chen were in full swing on the South Hebei Plain, where could Wang Lushui still sit still? Pulling Xiao Siming to say goodbye to Song Renqiang and Chen Zaidao, he was even exempted from a short rest in Nangong, and led the troops to continue to hurry, passing Zaoqiang and Jingxian County, all the way, to the vicinity of Lianzhen at the junction of Wuqiao County and Dongguang County on Jinpu Road.

At this time, it was already the end of March, and the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army was storming Taierzhuang, and the train whistle on Jinpu Road was sounding for a long time, and ammunition and grain and grass supplies were being delivered to Dezhou, Jinan, Tai'an, and to the Taierzhuang front.

When you get here, if you don't surprise the little devil, Xiao Siming won't be Xiao Siming!

Since the beginning of the Tibetan Mountain Ancestral Hall, Xiao Siming's troops have fought successively, captured a lot of money, and ate canned beef, rice and white noodles from the Japanese army, and even the war horses are 2.5 kilograms of concentrate per day, as well as salt and forage.

Now I finally walked to the side of Jinpu Road, there were trains carrying ammunition, grain and grass for the Japanese army on the railway, and there were also sails in the canal, and the boats were all unloaded from the Dagu Port in Tianjin to transport grain and socks and baggage by water.

Lianzhen was an important stronghold of the Japanese army on the Jinpu Road, guarding the Jinpu Road and the canal. Take Lianzhen and control Lianzhen Railway Station, you can cut off Jinpu Road, shock the Japanese army that is frantically attacking the front line of Taierzhuang, and urge it to collapse as soon as possible!

In Wang Lushui's words, it is to capture Lianzhen to kick off the prelude to our army's passage through the border of Hebei and Lu!

To put it bluntly, the ambitious Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui want to capture Lianzhen to establish their authority, so that the miscellaneous armed forces on the Jilu border can see clearly, the main force of the Eighth Route Army coming down from Pingxingguan will honestly accept the reorganization of our army!

Xiao Siming's plan was to surprise attack Lianzhen, control the railway station, intercept the Japanese army's columns, and then attract the Japanese army from Wuqiao and Dongguang to fight for Lianzhen and fight the Japanese ambush.

Although Lianzhen has an important strategic position, the Japanese army is fighting on the two fronts of Shanxi and Lunan at this time, and there are only mixed brigades of the North China garrison army and the newly formed independent mixed fifth brigade in the Pingjin area, and the third and fourth independent mixed brigades and regiments that were originally in Beiping and Baoding are still in Shouyang, Shanxi.

During the operation on the northern section of the Jinpu Road, the main force of the Japanese army's attack along the Jinpu Road was the 10th Division, and the 10th Division assisted the 10th Division in the attack, which was continuously ambushed and blocked by the independent battalion at Nianzigou, and the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, which was continuously ambushed and blocked by the independent battalion at Nianzigou, followed by the 16th Division of the Japanese Army. Later, the Japanese high command was worried about whether the Soviet Union would interfere, so it ordered the Second Army to attack troops along the Jinpu Road and stop at the line of Shijiazhuang, Hengshui, and Dexian, and the 16th Division turned to the Pinghan Line to fight, and then transferred to the Songhu battlefield together with the 6th Division.

When the Japanese army attacked Shandong, it also took the 10th Division as the main force, assisted by the 109th Brigade of the 118th Division, and the 5th Division, which ended the Battle of Taiyuan, was transferred to Baoding for rest and recuperation, and also joined the Shandong battlefield to capture Qingdao and along the Jiaoji Railway. Later, the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division was transferred to Shanxi for reconstruction, the 5th Division was responsible for the defense along the Qingdao and Jiaoji Railway, and the 10th Division was responsible for the defense between Jinpu Road, Jinpu Road, Cangxian County, and Jinan.

Now, after capturing Tai'an, Qufu, and Tengxian, the main force of the 10th Division is attacking Taierzhuang in an attempt to capture Xuzhou; The Fifth Division sent the Sakamoto detachment to attack Linyi and assist the Seya detachment of the 10th Division in the fight for Taierzhuang. Unexpectedly, Pang Bingxun's troops who defended Linyi fought bloodily and fought to the death, and Zhang Zizhong's two reinforcements were timely, and later at the critical juncture, the Fifth War Zone sent Miao Zhengliu 57th Army and Tang Enbo's cavalry regiment to reinforce, and the Sakamoto detachment of the Fifth Division could not attack Linyi City and was about to retreat!

The Segu Detachment of the 10th Division could not capture Taierzhuang, and was about to fall into the pocket of the Fifth War Zone, and the troops in the northern section of the Jinpu Road between Cangxian and Jinan that they were responsible for must be extremely empty!

If he hadn't destroyed Taiyuan Airport and captured Shouyang, the Japanese army would not have transferred the independent mixed 3rd Brigade stationed in Beiping and the independent mixed 4th Brigade stationed in Baoding to Shanxi, nor would it have drawn troops from the 16th Division to Shanxi, the 20th Cavalry Wing would not have been destroyed, and the little devil's troops on the North China Plain would not have been so empty!

A small company town, with a small Japanese army squad and a company of puppet troops!

This amount of troops, relying on strongholds and railways, is enough to deal with those miscellaneous forces, but in front of the advance brigade with Gaoping dual-purpose guns, rapid-fire guns, and 92 infantry guns, it is not enough to even plug the gaps!

On March 28, when the 10th Division of the Japanese Army blasted the city wall of Taierzhuang with artillery, entered a corner of Taierzhuang, and fought for the city headquarters of Chifeng, and when the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment was fighting with the defenders in Linyi City, early in the morning, Wang Quanyou, commander of the reconnaissance company of the Eighth Route Army's advance brigade, took a few soldiers, wearing the clothes of the local people, carrying a blanket on their backs, and followed a group of villagers in the area of Liu Ji in Jingxian County to Lianzhen.

These fellows are doing odd jobs in Lianzhen!

Even the town's canal wharf and railway station need odd jobs, and it is normal for the surrounding villagers to do odd jobs here, and the Japanese puppet army usually has to arrest people to come to the railway station and dock as porters!

At noon, on the road leading from Liu Ji to Lianzhen, a group of Japanese cavalry suddenly appeared, waving the sun flag, galloping towards Lianzhen.

Behind the cavalry was a large group of Japanese troops, also waving the sun flag, lined up in a neat line, carrying four Type 92 infantry guns, and the soldiers carried a dozen Type 92 heavy machine guns, and drove towards Lianzhen.

This group of devil cavalry seems to be a cavalry squadron, with more than 100 people, Oriental war horses of one color, and the cavalry are all carrying riding rifles and sabers. At the head of the officer, with the rank of Nakasa, rode a snow-white horse.

The Japanese troops stationed in Lianzhen did not receive a notice that a large army was coming to Lianzhen, and the two devil sentries were very surprised, and hurriedly shouted that the puppet soldiers who were standing guard together raised their guns.

The speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the devil sentry saw a cavalry coming, and when the cavalry galloped to him, it was only a moment's work, and the devil sentry didn't even have a chance to make a phone call to His Excellency the squad leader.

The cavalry had all arrived, and it was obvious that the cavalry of this group had their rifles on their backs and their sabers in their scabbards, and they had not made the slightest preparation for battle, nor had the slightest malice, and it was purely an elite unit of the Great Japanese Army that drove to Lianzhen.

In this case, the tense strings of the Japanese sentries and puppet army sentries who were still highly nervous just now loosened, and the rifles they were holding in their hands were also put down.

When the cavalry arrived at the front and rear of the sentry, without waiting for the Japanese sentry to ask for the password, the cavalry squad walking in front of them separated, and was divided into two rows in front of the devil sentry, which looked like a formation of geese passing in the sky, which was particularly neat and beautiful!

This posture is clearly to welcome the officials!

Sure enough, in the eyes of the devil sentry, a particularly tall and handsome white horse came out of the ranks of the Japanese cavalry, and the rider on the horse carried the epaulettes of the cavalry Zhongzuo on his shoulders and wore white gloves on his hands.

When the devil got to the front and back of the sentry, he didn't get off his horse, but circled the horse around the place twice, looked around with his eyes, and then said "Yo Xi", Kwarian Town is a good place, flat and fertile, and there are canals.

After muttering to himself for a while, the devil Nakasa beckoned a devil sentry to come to the war horse and said very gently: "Private of the second class, I was ordered to reinforce the Seya Brigade of the 10th Division, and the troops are going south by car in Lianzhen. Take me to your troop commander! (To be continued.) )
