Chapter 14: The Night of Yuxian County

When the battle in the first high courtyard was over, the battle of the three gates of the outer city and the other two gates of the inner city was also over, and each combat group carried out a sneak attack in the name of changing the guard.

I thought that the battle might be a little fierce after entering the inner city, but I didn't expect the fight to be so smooth, so smooth that the soldiers couldn't figure it out!

Xiao Siming left Zhang Huaide, the leader of the grenadier squad, to be responsible for searching the Japanese transport team in the first high courtyard and counting the seized materials; ordered the second squad leader Zhang Huaide to take people back to the courtyard of the county government, do a good job of rescuing the captives, and send people to inform the combat groups, including the wounded on the Dadongmen city wall, to withdraw to the inner city, and leave two mobile posts on the outer city wall and the inner city wall to carry out vigilance; After ordering Mei Ying to settle the wounded, she took the villagers in front of the branch to the county government compound, and transferred all the captured people who were imprisoned by the Japanese army in the county government compound to the No. 1 High School Courtyard, and arranged for them to eat and bandage their wounds; He ordered Qiu Wei, the leader of the first squad, and Yuan Gang, the leader of the machine gun squad, to go to Yuxian Prison with him.

Mei Ying wore a devil's cotton military uniform, a belt around her waist, a Wang Ba box holster hanging from the belt, and a first-aid kit on her back, and followed the team all the way to the first elementary school.

Beautiful girls all love to be clean. When Xiao Siming finished giving the order to leave, Mei Ying stopped him and reported that he had to drag the corpse of the devil in the yard to a corner and clean up the horse manure in the yard. Otherwise, the smell of blood and horse manure will be intertwined, and the smell will be too great!

Xiao Siming was in a hurry to occupy Yuxian Prison, he didn't have time to be verbose, so he waved his hand and let Mei Ying deal with it herself!

As a result, the villagers in front of the branch began to act according to Mei Ying's request.

After the Japanese army invaded Shanxi, the original local power in Shanxi collapsed, and only Song Shaowen, the magistrate of Wutai County, and Hu Renkui, the magistrate of Yuxian County, remained on the ground in the northeast of Shanxi Province to persist in the war of resistance behind enemy lines. These two men later became the director and deputy director of the administrative committee of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region. Among them, Hu Renkui was only recommended by the Sacrifice League to serve as the county magistrate of Yu County in October.

Before the Japanese army captured the county seat of Yuxian, the central county party committee and the organs of the Yuxian anti-Japanese democratic government to organize the county seat were withdrawn, and the Yuxian prison was also empty. It's just that Xiao Siming is careful, for fear that the Japanese army will use Yuxian Prison to detain the captured masses, cadres and prisoners, and rush to eliminate the devils in charge of guarding the prison and rescue the detainees. As a result, when Xiao Siming led the team to Yuxian Prison, he found that the lights were blind, the gate was closed, and it was empty.

After all, this Japanese army is a field army, not a long-term garrison force, and it has not had time to establish a puppet regime, so it directly put the arrested people in the backyard of the county government to take care of them, and did not use the Yuxian Prison, Xiao Siming had to return from the Yuxian Prison in vain!

When Xiao Siming led the team back to the No. 1 High School Courtyard from Yuxian Prison, Wang Lushui, Chen Yisheng, and Chen Desheng also withdrew from several city gates, led Mei Ying and them to transfer the detainees here, and brought the rifles and ammunition of the devil detachment that Xiao Siming and the spy traitors had too late to collect.

There are a lot of people in the yard, and there is a lot of noise!

The Japanese transport squadron was annihilated at the time of the meal, and there was still rice and soup in the room that the Japanese army had not had time to eat, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, local cadres, and soldiers of the National * Army who were rescued. Some people may be so hungry that they can't wait to line up to go to the room to eat, so they directly eat the leftovers in the Japanese army's lunch box.

The meals were also divided into camps, and the rescued wounded of the Eighth Route Army, local cadres, and soldiers of the National Army, and a pile in the east and west of the courtyard were indeed a bit chaotic.

As soon as he saw Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui said regretfully that he asked Zhang Huaide and did not seize the devil radio, which is a great loss!

Xiao Siming knew in his heart that a wing of the Japanese army's permanent divisions and special divisions only had 5 to 8 radio stations, and it would be good if a brigade could have one radio station, where to go to seize the radio station!

This is the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese troops on the battlefield in North China and Central China are all elite permanent divisions and special divisions, compared with the second-rate, third-rate, and fourth-rate troops of the Japanese army in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, the equipment is much better! At this time, the means of communication of the Japanese army were divided into unit levels, and the communication between the front army, corps, divisions, brigades, wings, and brigades mainly relied on radio and telephone; The communication between the brigade and the squadron and the squad mainly depends on the cavalry communicator, the flag language, and the military horn; During a major battle, the Japanese army will strengthen communication and equip the squadron with small radios, but this small radio can only be used within a range of 10 kilometers, and there will be no signal beyond 10 kilometers.

The Japanese army also has special radio stations, such as squadrons and squads of the Japanese army that carry out independent combat missions, or small units stationed at remote and important strongholds, and the Japanese army will equip them with radio stations and operators to facilitate communication.

Like the Japanese army that captured Yuxian, there are a lot of troops, 1,700 people, it is mainly the first brigade of the 107th Wing, with three combat squadrons belonging to the second brigade and the third brigade, it stands to reason that the second brigade and the third brigade of the little devils should be equipped with radio stations for the squadrons they sent, but Xiao Siming and they have eliminated the Japanese army so far are all squad-sized Japanese troops, and the transport squadron of the first brigade of the Japanese army that was eliminated tonight is only 110 people, and it is still a direct unit of the first brigade, so it is impossible to equip it with a radio station.

Wang Lushui smacked his lips and added: "The little devil is too picky!" ”

Xiao Siming said that it was not that the devil was reluctant to make a radio station, but that there were not so many operators!

Wang Lushui was anxious to contact the division headquarters and brigade headquarters to listen to the instructions, but when he saw that the Japanese radio station had not been captured, he had no choice but to give up. Besides, even if the radio station is seized, it will not be usable for the time being. There is no codebook, there is no operator, and I am in a hurry to hold the radio!

If the Japanese radio station was not captured, no one would use it even if it was captured, but the only way to contact the superiors was to let Chen Yisheng send a strong soldier who was familiar with the road to Shangshe at night to report the situation to the three detachments or the 687th Regiment of the 344th Brigade!

Wang Lushui asked Chen Yisheng to send personnel to the Shangshe overnight to find the troops to report!

Xiao Siming knew that it was useless to send someone to Shangshe to find the three detachments to report the situation at this time, because the Japanese army occupied Changchi, the main road was impassable, and if you went over the mountain and walked the path, when the messenger rushed to Shangshe, maybe the Japanese army had been ambushed by the three detachments, and they all began to withdraw their troops. But he can't say it, he can't stop sending someone to report it, and he has to report it!

As a result, Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng wrote a letter separately and sent a guerrilla squad leader to deliver the letter.

Raid and occupy Yuxian County, eliminate the transport squadron left behind by the Japanese army, and capture a very large amount!

An infantry member of the Japanese army carried a base number of ammunition when fighting, that is, 120 rounds of ammunition and four grenades. The transport squadron is to carry at least two or three base ammunition. Not to mention the three squadrons under the command of the 1st Brigade, just the ammunition supply of the 1st Brigade of the 107th Wing of the Japanese Army can allow Xiao Siming to pull up a regiment and fight a few battles. There just aren't that many guns!

In terms of the ammunition captured, the ammunition captured in the great victory of Pingxingguan is much less than the ammunition transported by the Japanese transport brigade captured in the county seat of Yuxian County. Because during the victory of Pingxingguan, the carts pulled by pack horses from Lingqiu were basically cotton coats urgently needed by the front-line troops of Pingxingguan, and there was very little ammunition supply. One hundred and ten cars returned to Lingqiu from Pingxingguan, and in addition to the devil soldiers and members of the condolence group, the wounded and corpses of the devils were on board, and there was no ammunition at all!

Therefore, after writing the letter and letting the comrades who sent the letter set off, Wang Lushui ignored Xiao Siming and personally commanded Zhang Huaide to count the seized materials and ammunition.

Xiao Siming was in a hurry to discuss something with Wang Lushui and Chen Yisheng, but he didn't expect Wang Lushui to plunge into the affairs of counting the loot!

Not only Wang Lushui, but Chen Yisheng is also busy over there!

It may be that the work of bandaging the wounds of the captured personnel is progressing smoothly, and after a while, Chen Yisheng will hold a meeting in the courtyard, mainly for those captured by the national army.

Let the soldiers take out two desks from the classroom, Chen Yisheng stood on the desk, waved his arms, and said loudly: "Brothers of the National * Army, now is the period of unity and resistance against Japan, and all units of our 18th Group Army and the National * Army are all national * army sequences and friendly troops. You have been rescued and you are safe! ”

Chen Yisheng shouted at the top of his voice, the voice was very loud, and the courtyard was quiet, and even Xiao Siming pricked up his ears to listen to it.

I heard Chen Yisheng say: "Chairman Jiang said in his speech on Lushan that as soon as the war begins, there is no distinction between north and south, and there is no distinction between old and young, and no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, and they should all have the determination to sacrifice everything. Now the Japanese army has invaded our North China and Songhu regions, and even Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, has fallen. The little devils killed my people, humiliated my women, burned my houses, burned my towns, and were full of blood and debts. Brethren, we have to pick up our guns and fight with the little devils! Destroy them and avenge the death of your fellow citizens! ”

When he said this, Chen Yisheng shouted with his real arms: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Wipe out the devils!" "Expelling the devil from the border area!"

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the rescued local cadres in the courtyard all chanted slogans, but the rescued soldiers of the National * Army looked blank one by one, and none of them shouted slogans!

Xiao Siming wanted to see the power of our army's ideological and political work at this time, and stood aside and watched silently, without squeaking.

After shouting the slogan, Chen Yisheng began to talk about the policy, saying that he welcomed the soldiers of the National * Army to join our army to participate in the war and fight devils together. Those who are unwilling to stay will be given two silver dollars per person and two days of dry rations, and they can leave on their own and find the original troops to return to the building.

The soldiers of the national * army finally reacted to this!

A bloodstained soldier of the Nationalist Army on his cotton uniform raised his face and shouted: "Sir, when will the passage fee be paid?" ”

Chen Yisheng replied that it would be sent early tomorrow morning!

Then the soldiers of the national * army said why not send it now? If you send it now, you can set off to find the troops now, and if you leave it until tomorrow, as soon as it dawns, the little devil's plane may come, and you will definitely get bombed when you walk on the road!

Chen Yisheng thought about it for a while, and replied that it was okay, send it now!

Without waiting for Chen Yisheng to arrange for someone to pay the travel expenses, Xiao Siming, who was standing on the side, shouted: "Wait! Secretary Chen, come down, I'll talk to the brothers! ”
