Chapter 217: Eliminate Liu Yanchen
After discovering that Mei Ying and the others were suppressed by the Japanese firepower, the retreating Song Company Commander rushed back with a platoon and fired fiercely at the devils to cover Mei Ying's retreat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this fight, Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong had a chance to pull Su Zhelian to crawl and retreat, and Mei Ying bent down behind them, and finally met up with a row again.
By this time, there were only sixteen people left in the platoon.
Company Commander Song was completely angry this time, and ordered Mei Ying, Zhang Quanshun, and Chen Zhong to retreat quickly with Su Zhe with a black face!
Mei Ying had already realized at this time that she and Su Zhe had become a burden to the blocking troops, so she didn't talk too much, and ordered Zhang Quanshun to carry Su Zhe on his back, carry a pistol in front and Chen Zhong in the back, and retreat north quickly.
When Company Commander Song caught up with a platoon, Mei Ying found that there was only one squad left in the platoon, and the machine gun was also on the shoulders of Company Commander Song, so she knew that the machine gunner had died without asking!
Since the Tibetan Mountain Temple met the little devil and was saved by Xiao Siming, Mei Ying can be regarded as a female eighth road who has experienced the test of war. It's just that he fought with Xiao Siming, and he fought active battles and won battles, and the casualties were negligible. That's it, the sneak attack on the stone measuring station sacrificed more than a dozen soldiers, and when it was buried, Mei Ying cried bitterly. A battle like today's was the first time Mei Ying had encountered it, which made her understand the cruelty of the battle at once!
Mei Ying's tears flowed down unconsciously!
Before he could cry, there was a scolding voice from Company Commander Song: "Don't cry!" If you're afraid of death, don't be the Eighth Route Army, go home and find a mother-in-law to marry! ”
At this time, Company Commander Song may have been stimulated by the heavy casualties of the troops, or he may have been unhappy, felt aggrieved, and looked hideous!
Mei Ying really didn't dare to cry, and ran honestly with the team!
At this time, Mei Ying suddenly remembered Xiao Siming in her mind, remembered Xiao Siming's care for her, and truly understood how much Xiao Siming loved her!
Fortunately, in this area is the Fenhe River valley between the two mountains of Taiyue Mountain and Luliang Mountain, the terrain is complex, there are many ravines, Song Company Commander took Mei Ying and them to fight and retreat, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the Japanese puppet army at dawn, waded across the Fen River, and caught up with the cadres and the second and third platoons.
That night, when the troops were camping, Mei Ying took out paper and pen from her purse and wrote a letter to Xiao Siming.
As soon as Mei Ying came up, she wrote: "My dear, at this moment, I don't know where you are or what you are doing!" But I have to tell you, last night, I was in danger for the second time in my life! ”
Mei Ying described the battle in detail and told Xiao Siming that the little devil has learned well, has become more cunning, and knows how to set traps to ambush the Eighth Route Army, so that Xiao Siming must pay attention in the future and not be careless against the enemy!
Although Mei Ying has experienced the test of war, she is not a military professional after all, and she still does not know enough about the Japanese army. Where are the little devils who have only learned and become cunning now, they have always been very cunning, and they are the best at engaging in intrigues!
What Mei Ying didn't know was that the Japanese army did not deliberately set up an ambush circle outside Liangdu Village this time, the Japanese army on the west bank of the Fen River and the Japanese army in the railway stronghold east of Liangdu Village were two parts, and they were carrying out different tasks.
The Japanese troops on the west bank of the Fen River were tasked with escorting an important person, that is, a high-ranking spy, to the west of Jinxi to find and contact Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater of Operations. This battle, they happened to meet. Otherwise, Mei Ying would not have been able to escape!
This letter will definitely not be mailed out now, and it can only be mailed out after it arrives in Yan'an, or after meeting with the troops of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division.
Where would Xiao Siming know what happened to Mei Ying and them by the Fen River? At this time, he led the cavalry company, the first battalion, the fifth battalion, and the attached artillery battalion and heavy machine gun battalion troops to leave Wudi County, return the same way, and go directly north after arriving at Leling, to the old county town south of Yanshan County.
What Xiao Siming didn't expect was that before he arrived at the old county town, he was stopped by Liu Yanchen, the leader of the Yanshan People's League stationed in the south of the old county town.
When the 31st Detachment captured Yanshan County for the first time, Liu Yanchen took advantage of the fire to loot, and took advantage of the opportunity of the 31st Detachment and Liu Fangting's unit of the Puppet Manchurian Advance Army Independent Brigade to fight fiercely for days and consume too much ammunition, and even disarmed the 31st Detachment's special service group, forcing the 31st Detachment to exchange the city for people, and handed over the Yanshan County Town to him. Later, when the Japanese puppet army captured Yanshan County again, Liu Yanchen's troops withdrew from Yanshan County without firing a shot, and retreated to the border area of Yanshan, Ningjin and Leling.
Xiao Siming naturally knew that Liu Yanchen's troops were wiped out by our five detachments in history, but he couldn't imagine that our army had already recovered the four county towns of Ningjin, Leling, Qingyun, and Wudi, and Liu Yanchen was so blind that he dared to stop our army from marching into Yanshan!
Liu Yanchen's reason for blocking our army from going north is very simple, that is, Yanshan belongs to his territory, and other armed forces are not allowed to enter! Whoever dares to enter the salt mountain, he will beat him!
Historically, the elimination of Liu Yanchen's ministry caused controversy in the then Hebei-Shandong Border Military and Political Committee, and some comrades believed that it would affect the united front and did not agree to eliminate Liu Yanchen's department. However, Liu Yanchen has become an obstacle to our army's northward advance, and he also brutalized our personnel, and it will not work if he is not eliminated! Therefore, at that time, Zeng Guohua, the commander of the fifth detachment, overrode public opinion and commanded the troops to resolutely eliminate Liu Yanchen's troops, and Liu Yanchen escaped alone and ran to Tianjin.
It is likely that it was because of the disagreement of the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee when Liu Yanchen's troops were eliminated, which made Zeng Guohua feel that independence was difficult to support, so he reported to the division headquarters and the headquarters, requesting that more senior leaders be sent to the Jilu border, and the 115th Division immediately sent Xiao Hua to lead the 343 Brigade Headquarters to advance to the Jilu border.
Now and unlike in history, Wang Lushui, secretary of the Jilu Border Military and Political Committee, and Xiao Siming, deputy secretary, have the same thoughts, and there is no problem of differences of opinion.
Liu Yanchen, who bumped into Xiao Siming's muzzle, will definitely end worse than in history!
Although he knew the outcome of Liu Yanchen's history, for the sake of prudence, Xiao Siming still wrote a letter and found a local villager to send to Liu Yanchen, hoping that he would understand the righteousness and unite with the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan.
Xiao Siming even told Liu Yanchen in his letter that if he agreed to accept the reorganization of our army, our army would reorganize Liu Yanchen's unit into the Yanshan Independent Regiment, send Liu Yanchen and his subordinate backbone cadres to study at the Jilu Border Military and Political Cadres School, improve the quality of military and political affairs, and return to serve in the Yanshan Independent Regiment after the study is over. Liu Yanchen himself can serve as the head of the Yanshan Independent Regiment or the county magistrate of the Yanshan County Anti-Japanese Democratic Government.
For Xiao Siming, a soul traverser, such conditions are already the limit. When reorganizing Zhang Ziliang's department, if Xiao Siming offered such conditions, it was likely that Zhang Ziliang would agree. Of course, with Zhang Ziliang's temperament, it is useless to agree, he will regret it and will find an opportunity to pull the troops away! Therefore, Xiao Siming completely drove Zhang Ziliang, Feng Ligang, and Bo Yizhi out of Wudi, and completely reorganized Zhang Ziliang's department!
In Xiao Siming's mind, Liu Yanchen's department was wiped out early by five detachments in history, and did not cause particularly heavy losses to our army. Now that Liu Yanchen has hit the muzzle of his gun, if he understands the situation and is willing to resist Japan, he will try not to use force if he can, and it is best to reorganize peacefully. After all, many of those ordinary soldiers sincerely wanted to resist Japan! Even Liu Yanchen himself must also be educated, and he also has a reputation in Yanshan, if he can win it, it will be good for opening up the anti-Japanese situation in Yanshan County!
It's a pity that Liu Yanchen doesn't appreciate it!
Liu Yanchen surprised Xiao Siming again, he actually cut off one of the ears of the fellow who sent the letter, put it in Xiao Siming's envelope with stationery, and let the fellow send it back.
The fellow who delivered the letter was neither a member of the Communist Party nor a *** member, just an ordinary fellow, Liu Yanchen actually cut off his ear!
Xiao Siming was immediately enraged!
The villager who delivered the letter cried and told Xiao Siming that he hadn't even seen Liu Yanchen's face. After the letter was delivered, he was arrested, and after a short time, Liu Yanchen sent someone to cut off his ear, and he fainted in pain. When I woke up, I saw that I was soaking wet, and I realized that I had been woken up by cold water. A leader of the Liu Department who asked him to come back to report the news told him that Commander Liu said that when he saw Xiao Siming, he would say six words: "Don't dream about Qingqiu!" ”
Seeing the frightened face of the villager who delivered the letter, Xiao Siming had no choice but to ask the first battalion commander Qiu Wei to give him 20 yuan, which was a little compensation.
Liu Yanchen's department has a total of five brigades and thousands of people, who live in several large villages. If you want to encircle and annihilate Liu Yanchen's troops like the five detachments in history, Xiao Siming does not have enough troops at hand.
Xiao Siming immediately telegraphed Huang Hua to lead the second and fourth battalions to come quickly, and the first battalion and the fifth battalion, one east and one west, formed a pincer offensive, and rushed towards Liu Yanchen's troops.
The firepower of the advance brigade was much stronger than that of the five detachments, and the little devils did not even have a chance to resist by using the methods of attack and ambush warfare against the Japanese squadron-sized troops. Although the elite Japanese infantry brigade was not completely annihilated, it was because of the limited number of troops. Now facing the militia and the landlords' armed Liu Yanchen troops, the outcome of this battle has been decided.
Needless to say, as soon as the cannon of the Eighth Route Army sounded, Liu Yanchen knew that he was wrong, and there was no chance to turn the tables if he was wrong!
In history, when the five detachments eliminated Liu Yanchen's troops, due to the lack of heavy firepower, Liu Yanchen's troops still resisted stubbornly, and now they are even exempted from stubborn resistance. As soon as they saw the artillery of the Eighth Route Army firing, the militia soldiers were stunned and didn't know how to fight. When the Eighth Route Army began to shout and propagate the anti-Japanese proposition, many soldiers in Liu Yanchen's department put down their guns and stopped fighting!
Liu Yanchen saw that the momentum was not right, and it was really like in history, he sneaked away alone.
It's a pity that Liu Yanchen was unlucky, and he met Xiao Siming, knowing that he would leave the troops and run away alone, so that the cavalry company would wait for him!
Liu Yanchen failed to escape to Tianjin, and he didn't even run out of the guerrilla circle of the cavalry company, and was killed by the soldiers! (To be continued.) )
