Chapter 428: The Show Begins
As soon as they came up, they killed the two squads of the little devils, and the Wudi Independent Regiment won the first battle!
The Wudi Independent Regiment needed Japanese-style weapons and ammunition too much, and it happened that the Japanese army was afraid of the attack, and all the twelve cars on the other side of the river had their lights turned off, and it was so dark before dawn that the cadres and soldiers ignored the shelling of the Japanese infantry guns, and touched the weapons and ammunition on the corpses of the Japanese squad at the entrance of the town and the Japanese squad at the bridgehead.

The frightened devil squadron leader raised his binoculars on the west bank of the Mache River and looked at it, only to see the corpses of Japanese soldiers whose uniforms had been stripped on the ground at the head of the bridge and on the road at the entrance of the town.
The Japanese squadron leader immediately scolded, "Baga! ”
Follow the good people to learn the good people, and follow the gods to learn to dance the gods. Although the reorganization of the Wudi Independent Regiment was not long, the cadres above the platoon level were all transferred from various units of the eastward advance detachment, and naturally brought the rules of the old troops to clean up the battlefield. There is no way, the Eighth Route Army is poor, and no one in the eastward advance brigade has given military expenses, and the Japanese army's clothing, belts, and leather shoes are all useful, not to mention any foreign gadgets such as small sapper shovels digging fortifications, which definitely can't leave a little left for the little devils.
After the Japanese squadron leader scolded "Baga", he ordered the launch of poison gas bombs, so that all the ambushed Eighth Route Army were killed!
Before the gas bombs were fired, the east bank of the river was silent. After the poison gas bomb was fired, the east bank of the river was still quiet, only the plaster flag on the turret of the original Tuqiao Japanese stronghold was still fluttering in the morning breeze.
There are only three squadrons in one squadron of the Japanese army, and two squadrons are reimbursed, and the leader of the devil squadron no longer dares to take risks, so he can only use the 50-watt radio he carries to constantly report to the garrison headquarters in Texas City and ask for emergency tactical guidance.
The Tuqiao stronghold is very important because it guards the Maji River Highway Bridge, and whether the Japanese army wants to or not, they must recapture the Tuqiao!
This is the enemy who has to be saved!
The Japanese puppet army in Dezhou City was dispatched, Zhou Kaidong and they did not know, but the puppet army Mu Jincheng in Lingxian City was dispatched early in the morning, and happened to meet the Deping Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that was ambushed halfway.
The strength of these two troops is about the same, both of which are about 2,000 people, but Mu Jincheng became a puppet brigade commander after surrendering to the Japanese army, and the Deping Independent Regiment was reorganized into a regiment by the Eighth Route Army, and the formation specifications were one level shorter.
Although Mu Jincheng is a pseudo brigade commander, his command ability is really not flattering. When he met Hu Qingyun, chief of staff of the eastward advance detachment, who had experienced a hundred battles, it was a disaster. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Mu Jincheng's troops couldn't stand it, and they were beaten in an uproar, and fled back to Lingxian City, closing the city gate, and couldn't get out.
The combat effectiveness of the Deping Independent Regiment is not good at the moment, and if it were replaced by a regiment of the advance detachment of the Eastern Front here, it would definitely be a complete annihilation of Mu Jincheng's troops today. Just as Mu Jincheng's troops were completely annihilated by the five detachments of our Eighth Route Army in history, it was impossible for them to flee back to Lingxian City. There is no way, after all, the Deping Independent Regiment is a newly reorganized army, and the military cadres of each battalion, company and platoon are all the original members of Cao Zhendong, and they cannot be compared with the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment, and it is already very good to ambush and defeat Mu Jincheng's troops!
Fortunately, Hu Qingyun did not have the idea of completely annihilating Mu Jincheng's troops, and his task was to attack the railway and highway between Dezhou and Jinan, mobilize the Japanese puppet army in Dezhou City to help, and create conditions for the main force of the detachment to successfully capture Dezhou City.
After defeating Mu Jincheng's troops, before the battlefield was cleaned up, Hu Qingyun reported to Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai.
Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai were supposed to lead the troops to evacuate Tuqiao Town, but the Tuqiao stronghold is so important, the Japanese army in Dezhou City will definitely be reinforced, Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai have to wait for the little devils to surprise them when they are reinforced, how can they withdraw? It's just that they all know the virtues of the little devils, and in case of the devil's poison gas bombs and aircraft bombing, they mobilized the residents of Tuqiao Town to move last night, and after the first blockade, the main force also withdrew from Tuqiao Town, leaving only one company to monitor the Japanese army and prepare for anti-poison gas.
In the morning, none of the Japanese troops on the west bank of the Maji River dared to attack the earth bridge again.
If the Japanese army does not move, the Eighth Route Army will naturally not move. It was impossible for Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai to pull out their troops and expose them to the guns of the Japanese army. The little devil's marksmanship is so good, one hit and one accurate, Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qi, who have been in battle for a long time, will not be so stupid!
The two armies confronted each other across the river, and it was not until the afternoon that the main force of the Japanese army reinforced by Dezhou City arrived.
As soon as the large army of devils arrived, Japanese planes also appeared in the sky, hovering and dropping bombs over Tuqiao Town, and the walls of the explosion collapsed, and the dust flew up.
As soon as the plane flew away, the Japanese concentrated four infantry guns and prepared for 10 minutes of artillery fire on the position of the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of Tuqiao Town.
Tossing and turning, it was true that there was no trace of the Eighth Route Army on the other side of the river, and the Japanese army began to attack.
It's another squad of devils who crossed the bridge first, searched and advanced, and touched Tuqiao Town!
As a result, it's very sad!
In the telescopic lens of the Japanese commander on the west bank of the Mache River, the Japanese squad that had entered the town was once again overwhelmed by the sudden burst of fierce gunfire. Only the little devils who walked at the end were more surprised, and they rolled down and returned to the bridge.
The little devil fired again, and the heavy machine gun also fired like crazy.
By the time the little devils swarmed into Tuqiao Town, the Eighth Route Army had already disappeared without a trace.
The Japanese commander who walked into Tuqiao saw that the Japanese soldiers who had been killed were only left with a piece of crotch cloth on their bodies, and that the ammunition and food stored in the Tuqiao stronghold were also empty, and they were like thunder, so they immediately ordered their troops to search around Tuqiao to find the hateful Eighth Route Army.
If the little devils stick to the earth bridge and don't come out, Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai will have no way to deal with them. Now that the little devil wants to search everywhere, it will be in the arms of the Eighth Route Army. You must know that at this time, it is the time when the green yarn tent on the Jilu Border Plain is raised, which can cover the ambush of the Eighth Route Army.
This time it was lively, around Tucheng, a group of Japanese puppet troops scurried around, entered the village and entered the house, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, but it didn't take long, and from time to time there was a burst of gunshots like bursting beans, which was the Eighth Route Army attacking and ambushing a small group of Japanese puppet troops.
This battle, for Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai, who were born in the old Red Army, are all good tricks, and they are like fish in water and can play with ease.
At night, the little devil who went out to search withdrew to Tuqiao Town, and the Eighth Route Army was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, sticking up, firing a few shots in the east and throwing a few grenades in the west, so that the little devil couldn't sleep and was frightened.
Just when Hu Qingyun commanded the Wudi Independent Regiment and the Deping Independent Regiment to fight with the Japanese puppet army on the southern front, gunshots also rang out in the section from Dongguang to Cangzhou on the northern line. Huang Hua, deputy commander of the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, commanded the 4th Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment, which was reorganized from the 31st Detachment, also took action, ambushing the Japanese transport convoy on the road between Cangzhou and Dongguang, attacking small Japanese units and scattered strongholds.
The commander of the 3rd Wing of the Japanese Railway stationed in the section from Dongguang to Cangzhou, and the commander of the newly established Japanese Dezhou Garrison Command, were all stunned, and they could not figure out what the Eighth Route Army was going to do, and why the northern and southern fronts suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese army at the same time!
There is no impermeable wall in the world, the eastward advance brigade has advanced to the Jilu border for so long, and has continuously captured Ningjin, Qingyun, Wudi, Yangxin, and Yanshan, even if the Japanese army's intelligence is replenished, and the Eighth Route Army's secrecy work is done well, at this time, the Japanese army must also know that the Eighth Route Army has advanced to the Jilu border, but they may not have figured out the number, strength, and commander name of the Eighth Route Army advancing to the Jilu border.
Kita Seiichi, the head of the North China Front Army's secret service who was in charge of investigating the assassination of Yoshiko Kawashima, must have also known about the Eighth Route Army's advance to the Jilu border. It's just that he won't connect Yoshiko Kawashima's assassination with the Eighth Route Army. Because Yoshiko Kawashima died in the love of a man * Huan * a woman * , whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the intelligence officers of the CCP, they will not do that. That's illogical!
There are Eighth Route Army active in the southern Hebei region, the Eighth Route Army in the central Hebei region, and the Eighth Route Army formed by the Chinese Communist Party in various parts of Shandong. The Japanese army must have mastered all these situations now. It's just that the Japanese army is concentrating its main force to pursue the main force of the Fifth Theater retreating from Xuzhou, and it has no strength and time to consolidate the occupied area, so it can only watch the development of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, at this time, the top brass of the Japanese army did not have a sufficient understanding of the Eighth Route Army, and they did not realize that their opponents in North China had been replaced, from the regular army of the National * Army to the Eighth Route Army led by the Chinese Communist Party, and the regular war had become a guerrilla war behind enemy lines.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army on the Jilu Border was nothing more than a guerrilla force in the eyes of the Japanese high-brass, which could not form a climate and could not withstand the blows of the Japanese army. As long as the main force of the Japanese army eliminated the main force of the Fifth Theater, captured Kaifeng and Zheng County, and went south along the Han Road to seize Wuhan, these Eighth Route Army armies were not worth mentioning, and they could not withstand the blows of the Japanese army at all!
For these reasons, the commander of the 3rd Railway Wing of the Japanese Army and the commander of the Texas Garrison Command, although he was confused at first, he invariably mobilized troops and ordered the elimination of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who dared to attack the communication line to ensure the safety of the communication line.
As a result, the Japanese puppet army stationed in Dongguang, Wuqiao, Nanpi, Cangxian and other county towns dispatched and began to chase the ass of the Fourth Regiment and the Yanshan Independent Regiment led by Huang Hua. Most of the Japanese puppet troops stationed in Dezhou were also dispatched to reinforce Tuqiao, preparing to reunite and annihilate the Wudi Independent Regiment and Deping Independent Regiment commanded by Hu Qingyun in Lingxian County.
Huang Hua and Hu Qingyun commanded both newly formed units of the eastward advance detachment, and their combat effectiveness was limited. The Japanese puppet army pursued this retaliatory exhaustion, and our army could only use the green gauze tent to deal with the enemy on the Great Plains.
At this moment, the good show directed by Xiao Siming finally opened with a gong! (To be continued.) )
