Chapter 209 The Soldiers Are on the Move
Soldiers, you are fast!
After condolences to the 31st Detachment in Qingyun City, that night, Xiao Siming left the 31st Detachment to mobilize the masses and establish political power in Qingyun, and he and Chief of Staff Hu Qingyun led the cavalry company, the first battalion, the third battalion, the fifth battalion, the sixth battalion, and the attached artillery battalion and heavy machine gun battalion troops.

From Qingyun County to Wudi County, it is only about 50 miles, and the infantry forcibly marches and arrives in 5 hours.
The spring nights of the Great Plains are quiet, with the occasional startled bird screaming and fluttering.
Xiao Siming rode on the jade lion horse of the night, and there were only two words in his head: "Time!" ”
Xiao Siming knew that when the 31st Detachment captured Wudi for the first time, Zhang Ziliang only had a few dozen people, and as soon as he saw that the 31st Detachment had captured Wudi County, he took dozens of his own people to Dongguan in the county seat and stationed there. As soon as the thirty-first detachment evacuated rashly, Wudi City became Zhang Ziliang's. This guy has the ability, and immediately in the name of the Wudi County Party Department of the Kuomintang * Kuomintang, and through the new Wudi County Mayor Bo Yisan, he got into a relationship with Liu Jingliang, and based on the Yang Hu Subjects in Xinji Town, Wudi County, he began to form a militia in six districts of Wudi, which was named the "Wudi Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Regiment".
In February this year, Zhang Ziliang held a meeting of responsible persons of the Leling, Yanshan, Xinhai, and Qingyun militia groups in Xiaobotou Town, northwest of Wudi County, and announced the establishment of the "Five County People's League Joint Command." He was very modest and only served as the head of the general affairs unit of the joint headquarters.
At this time, the leader of the Wudi County People's League was still Yang Huchen, and Zhang Ziliang was only the commander behind the scenes. Historically, after the 31st Detachment captured Qingyun in April, it sent people to contact Zhang Ziliang, who accepted our party's "Ten Programs for Resisting Japan and Saving the Country", and the troops were organized into the 6th Route of the 31st Detachment.
After Yang Huchen died of illness in June, Zhang Ziliang really became the commander-in-chief of the Wudi People's League, and immediately led the Wudi People's League to split out from the 31st Detachment. In September, Shen Honglie, the head of the security department of the Shandong Provincial Government, sent Ning Chunlin to northern Shandong to inspect the armament, and Zhang Ziliang's department was organized as the "Sixth Independent Brigade of Shandong Provincial Security", with two regiments and 2,030 people.
Zhang Ziliang is a member of the Kuomintang * Nationalist * Party and a member of the Standing Committee of the Wudi County Party Department of the Kuomintang * Kuomintang, and he formed a militia group, and he did not collude with the Japanese army at this time. But Xiao Siming knew that this Zhang Ziliang was very bad and had never had a good impression of the Communist Party. In June last year, the Kuomintang Wudi County Government established the "Wudi County Anti-Enemy Support Association", and Feng Jingen, a member of the Wudi County Communist Party, and others set up a "Wudi County Anti-Japanese Salvation Association" to publicize anti-Japanese resistance.
If it's just a political difference, forget it. The problem is that in history, Zhang Ziliang's hands were later stained with the blood of the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese masses!
After the Japanese army recaptured Wudi in January 1939, this guy fought with the little devil for a while, and the size of the army expanded from the original two regiments, six battalions and eighteen companies to eight battalions and twenty-eight companies.
What is surprising is that in 1940, three months after Shen Honglie stepped down as provincial chairman, Zhang Ziliang resigned from the post of director of the Fifth Commissioner's Office, quit, and let the troops be reduced to pieces. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the **** climax, Zhang Ziliang, who returned to Wudi, stopped fighting the Japanese puppet army, and drove away Fu Zhuting, who was sent by our army to Zhang Ziliang's department to do united front work, secretly killed the communists in the army, and began to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
Later, Zhang Ziliang seized the opportunity to attack the Eighth Route Army and killed the families of the Eighth Route Army. He even surrendered to the Japanese and signed an agreement with the Japanese army on "mutual non-aggression and joint defense against communism"!
When the Japanese puppet army frantically swept the Jilu border area, Zhang Ziliang's troops blocked the Maji River and blocked our army, so that our army could not break through to the southeast. Our army on the Jilu border went south several times to open up contact with Qinghe District, but was blocked by Zhang Ziliang.
Zhang Ziliang in history is worse than the average puppet army!
Xiao Siming knew very well that because the advance brigade and the 31st detachment joined forces and flourished in the hinterland of the Jilu border, the Japanese puppet army would definitely soon sweep the Jilu border, and it would not wait until January 1939 to sweep the Jilu border as in history. At that time, Zhang Ziliang, who has not yet been compiled by Shen Honglie as the "Sixth Independent Security Brigade of Shandong Province" for the time being, will definitely run away as soon as he makes contact with the Japanese army, and turn to be our enemy!
You can't be polite to this kind of person, and you can't be soft-hearted because he is a member of the Nationalist Party, that is to sow trouble for the people of Jilu Border!
Xiao Siming wanted to seize the opportunity that Zhang Ziliang's ministry was still a miscellaneous armed force without a father and mother at this time, and reorganize it to put an end to future troubles.
As for Liu Jingliang's troops, who occupy Huimin and other counties, because he has a signboard given by Qin Qirong as the commander of the first guerrilla route, Xiao Siming will definitely not be able to attack him, because he will give people a handle and will be said to be sabotaging the united front.
Unless Liu Jingliang himself does not open his eyes, and as in history, gathers Liu Yanchen's troops and Liu Peichen, deputy commander of the puppet North China Autonomous Coalition Army, to attack Qingyun, then you are welcome, Xiao Siming does not mind incorporating Liu Jingliang's troops.
Of course, there is a difference between Liu Jingliang and Zhang Ziliang. Although Liu Jingliang also had high friction and also attacked our army, he always insisted on resisting Japan, and although he surrendered to the Japanese army after being caught for a while, he finally escaped and replaced the army to resist the Japanese, until he was caught and killed by the Japanese army again.
And Zhang Ziliang was still doing evil until 1945, and was finally wiped out by our army!
Xiao Siming, who was riding on the jade lion horse of the night, had thoughts flying in his mind.
When the troops arrived at the foot of Wudi City, it was already 1 o'clock in the night.
Zhang Ziliang's troops were all militia groups that had not been trained, and they had not fought any decent battles, and their military quality was extremely low.
Zhang Ziliang himself did not understand military affairs, and after Zhang Bu was reorganized into the "Sixth Independent Brigade of Shandong Provincial Security", Zhang Ziliang specially asked Ma Zhenru, the major chief of staff who graduated from the Luoyang Infantry School of the Kuomintang, from Shen Honglie to serve as a military instructor in the army, and then began military training.
At this time, Zhang Ziliang's ministry has not yet accepted Shen Honglie's adaptation, so naturally there will be no Ma Zhenru to help him train the troops.
After Xiao Siming led his troops to Wudi City, he saw a row of torches stuck in the city, and two militia members in black clothes were walking around the city wall with guns, making it look like a bandit village in a movie, and a wicked smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Hu Qingyun was busy with a battle plan, Xiao Siming stopped him, and said lightly: "What kind of battle plan do you need to deal with this kind of character?" The cavalry company went around to the south gate to blockade, the five battalions set up an ambush at the west gate, and the sixth battalion set up an ambush at the east gate to capture the prisoners! The first and second battalions attacked from the north gate and broke the city in one fell swoop! ”
Originally, when the cavalry company first arrived at Wudi City, it was afraid of alarming the city and hiding, but now that Xiao Siming is fighting like this, the troops will be exposed immediately!
The problem is that Xiao Siming is not afraid of the exposure of the troops!
After the order was issued, Wu Peng, who led the cavalry company, took the lead in action, turned over his horse, pulled out his saber, pointed to the south, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and led the cavalry company to set off.
In the silent night, a cavalry suddenly appeared, the horse's hooves were flying, the sound of horses' hooves made the two militia soldiers standing guard on the city wall immediately alert. One of them pulled out a torch and held it, peering into the depths of the night to see what was going on.
Not only the cavalry company was in action, but also the fifth and sixth battalions were also moving, moving towards the west gate and the east gate respectively.
In the astonished gaze of the two militia sentinels, the first battalion was in the first and the second battalion was behind, rushing towards the north gate of Wudi City.
The two vigilante sentinels finally saw clearly, someone had come to attack Wudi City!
A sentry screamed "Mommy", put down the rifle in his hand, turned around and ran to get the gong, ready to ring the gong to call the police.
The other sentry pulled the bolt of his gun, raised the old sleeve in his hand, and fired a "bang" into the sky, and then shouted: "Stop! Who? ”
Qiu Wei, the commander of the first battalion, laughed, rolled his hands into the shape of a trumpet, and shouted at the city: "Sentinel brothers, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we are here to recruit you!" Hurry up and open the gates and welcome us into the city! ”
Qiu Wei shouted, and the first battalion had already formed a formation and rushed towards the city gate.
In this case, firing a cannon is a waste. A battalion rushed to the city gate, and it was easy to open the city gate, it was just a matter of explosives packs!
When the militia sentry heard that it was the Eighth Route Army coming, he actually shouted: "What Eighth Route Army? I haven't heard of it! Stop, go any further and I'll shoot! ”
Qiu Wei still shouted loudly: "Sentinel brothers, Chinese do not fight Chinese!" Don't shoot! Hurry up and open the city gates, and we'll give you credit!" If you dare to shoot, the boys will beat your head into a hornet's nest! ”
What Xiao Siming wants is to reorganize Zhang Ziliang's department, not to eliminate him. Therefore, Qiu Wei was unwilling to shoot casually. After all, after these militia groups are trained, they are likely to become real soldiers of the Eighth Route Army!
When the two men shouted, a battalion of warriors had already rushed to the city gate, a warrior
Seeing that the troops under the city just rushed towards the city gate with their heads down, the sentry panicked, and really didn't dare to shoot anymore, so he made a move that surprised everyone, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "The Eighth Route Army is coming!" The Eighth Route Army is coming! ”
As soon as this sentry ran, the other sentry who went to get the gong no longer thought about striking the gong, and also ran, shouting as he ran: "The Eighth Route Army is coming, the Eighth Route Army is coming!" ”
With a "boom" sound, the explosive package exploded, the north gate of Wudi City was blown open, and the first and second battalions poured in like a tide! (To be continued.) )
