Shi Jianfei, commander of the reconnaissance company of the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, has now become a veritable reconnaissance hero ().

Since the 38th Division of the Japanese Army retreated to the Caoxian area, Shi Jianfei and his reconnaissance company withdrew to the entire Henan-Anhui Soviet border area to reconnoiter the enemy situation and collect intelligence ().

On the evening of October 5, on the night when the Japanese army was besieging the Lunan area, Shi Jianfei led a cavalry reconnaissance to platoon Zhangji at the junction of Shanxian, Yucheng and Dangshan counties, and galloped towards the vicinity of the Longhai Line.

At this time, it was early winter. The leaves are all over the ground, and the grass is scattered. The scouts were deprived of the cover of tall crops and green gauze tents, and armed reconnaissance could only be carried out at night.

Zhangji is located in the northeast of Yucheng County, facing Yanglou Town of Shanxian County in Shandong Province across the Yellow River in the north, and Guanzhuang Town in Dangshan County, Anhui Province in the east. Due to the diversion of the Yellow River in 1855, the area around Zhangji became a saline-alkali flat with yellow sand and no grass. Coupled with the unique location of the junction of the three provinces, the most suitable for the soldiers, the iron horse vertical and horizontal, the bitter people call Zhang Ji "three provinces Zhuang", which means that this is a forgotten three regardless of the area, when the green yarn tent is raised, the bandits can set up camp on the Yellow River old road, the rout can do anything here, only the Zhuang family of the duty is shaved in the sand, facing the yellow sand with their backs to the sky, working the saline-alkali land, turning the land deeply, planting a little crops, planting some trees, With sweat and tears, he lit a little green on this originally barren field.

At this time, in the scattered wheat fields on the saline-alkali ground, the winter wheat has sprouted, and the first sprouts are tenaciously stretched in the wind and sand, making people look like an indescribable pathos.

This area is now a guerrilla zone, and at any time you may encounter the plainclothes team of the Japanese puppet army and the Han jiān of the detectives everywhere, or you may encounter bandits, and you may also encounter the ** miscellaneous armed forces, the enemy situation is complicated, and battles may occur at any time. Shi Jianfei, who was riding on a horse, had round eyes and ears, not daring to be careless.

When he ran out of twenty miles, and when he reached the vicinity of Dayangji, it was already dark. It is different from Zhangji on the side of the old road of the Yellow River, the flat and fertile fields, the stars in the sky reflect the splendid eastern Henan Plain, and the eyes are endless wheat fields.

Shi Jianfei sniffed the fragrance of wheat seedlings that broke out of the ground, and suddenly came up with an idea, that is, after the victory, he would settle down on the eastern Henan Plain, buy a tractor with a harvester as the commander said, and plant wheat, beans, and fruit trees on this great plain.

The war is imminent, and the reconnaissance hero Shi Jianfei actually came up with the idea of leading a beautiful daughter-in-law to live a peaceful and prosperous life in the farm.

Dayangji is only fifteen or sixteen miles away from the Longhai Railway, which already belongs to the enemy-occupied area, and the Japanese puppet army has a stronghold here and builds strong fortifications.

Shi Jianfei often comes to this place, and he knows the original enemy situation well. What he has to figure out now is that the Dayangji stronghold has not increased its troops.

Shi Jianfei packed up his inner reverie, and was about to order the soldiers to dismount, when he found a car light in the distance, which seemed to be a devil patrol.

Shi Jianfei felt a spirit in his heart, when did the little devil in Dayangji have the courage to patrol at night?

Shi Jianfei put his right hand on the horse's back and pressed it gently. This is a war horse that has been rigorously trained and battle-hardened, and immediately understood what its owner meant, only to see it quickly curl up in front of it, and its body gently lay in place.

When the soldiers behind Shi Jianfei saw the company commander's movements, they immediately did the same, and all the cavalry scouts in a platoon fell down in place.

Shi Jianfei did not dismount, only to see him lying on the horse's back, the shell gun turned on the nose, calmly looking ahead, and the soldiers behind did not dismount, but sat on the war horse, took off the carbine, pulled out the grenade from his waist, and put it at his feet.

Shi Jianfei: Their location was in a dry ditch, about a hundred and ten meters away from the main road. After a short time, Shi Jianfei saw a team of devil patrol convoys speeding on the road, with three motorcycles at the head, two armored vehicles in the middle, and two motorcycles in the back.

When Shi Jianfei originally reconnoitred Dayang's gathering of enemy information, he knew that there was a squadron of devils stationed here, and there had never been any armored vehicles or motorcycles. The sudden availability of vehicles, and the fact that they are patrolling at night, indicates that the hostile situation in the area has changed significantly.

After the devil patrol passed, Shi Jianfei didn't rush to act, he wanted to observe for a while and figure out the time interval between the little devil patrols ().

About five minutes later, another patrol of devils passed.

Shi Jianfei observed for half an hour, and there were six devil patrol convoys passing through, that is to say, every 5 minutes, a devil patrol team passed along the east-west road and the north-south country road. This shows that the little devils not only patrol the north along the east-west direction, but also maintain a north-south defense patrol from Longhai Road to Dayangji, which also shows that there are a large number of devils in this area.

Shi Jianfei immediately ordered the radio station that followed him to report to the brigade headquarters: The front line of Dayangji found a patrol of Japanese armored vehicles and motorcycles, patrolling on the east, west, and north and south lines, and suspected that the Japanese army had gathered a large force here.

After sending the telegram, the brigade headquarters sent a telegram back instructing that it was necessary to find out the number of the Japanese army and resolutely attack and harass it.

Shi Jianfei didn't know that Commander Liu and Political Commissar Luo led the main force to hide in southwest Lu, let alone that the main force had a plan to launch the battle of southwest Lu, and thought that there were still only two main forces in southwest Lu, the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade and the Second Luxi Garrison Brigade.

You have to scratch your tongue and figure out from the identity cards of the captives which army the little devils gathered here are, and only then can you judge the size of the little devils' troops.

Shi Jianfei did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Li Mingli, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon who followed him, to stay and command the troops to hide, and he and the three squad leaders each led a reconnaissance team to carry out covert reconnaissance forward.

In the vast night, the reconnaissance heroes of the Eighth Route Army seized the gap between the Japanese patrols, crossed the main road like a civet, and branched off towards Dayangjimō.

When he was about to arrive at Dayangji, Shi Jianfei found that he couldn't go any further, and encountered the devil's infantry blockade.

Shi Jianfei knew that what appeared here should be the elite troops of the little devils, and they must have an infantry lurking post. If you can't find and clear the devil lurker, it's easy for the little devil to find yourself ().

Crawling on the frosty ground, Shi Jianfei's eyes kept looking around, and finally locked on a mound in front of the right. That's where the little devils lurk.

Before Shi Jianfei was transferred to the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, he was taught by Luo Yan, deputy director of the instructor's staff office, chief of the investigation section, and commander of the reconnaissance battalion. Who is Luo Yan? He was a reconnaissance hero who had repeatedly made great contributions and was well-known throughout the army. The scouts he brought out naturally had no weak hands.

Shi Jianfei observed the angle, made a gesture, and slowly crawled with the two scouts, moving to the back of the small mound. Then he held his breath and slowly crawled forward in a low posture, moving towards the small mound.

When there were still five or six meters away from the small grave, the devil lurking post sensed the movement, and the two little devils looked back. At this moment, Luo Yan and the two scouts took off the dagger in their mouths and threw it at the little devil fiercely. The dagger pierced the little devil's wide mouth like a throwing knife.

This move was actually evolved from the flying knife stunt of Zhao Zhiyu, the leader of the third squadron of the special warfare squadron, and the cadres and soldiers of the instructor reconnaissance battalion were taught by Zhao Zhiyu.

Shi Jianfei didn't dare to make the movement bigger, he still crawled over gently, untied the clothes of the little devil who fell to the ground, pulled out the identity card from the left shoulder socket of the two little devils, didn't even bother to look at it, and then began to quietly evacuate.

The process of tongue grabbing is complex and lengthy.

After Shi Jianfei and a platoon leader Li Mingli converged, they took out the identity cards of the two little devils and observed them in the moonlight, only liking that the identity cards of the little devils were made of brass, about 1 meter long, about 1 meter wide, 1 mm thick, the shape was oval, and the top and bottom were punched, and the full name was "The Armed Forces Identity Tag" was marked with the troops, ranks, names, and blood types on the front, and the home address on the back.

After reading it, Li Mingli whispered to Shi Jianfei: "Company commander, the independent mixed first brigade is the elite of the Japanese army. This unit belonged to the Kwantung Army, which was originally eliminated when our army captured Taiyuan. After the reconstruction, the Japanese army was stationed in Handan, and later in southern Hebei. When our army first swept south of the Henan-Anhui Soviet region with its anti-Japanese heavy troops, this unit participated in the pursuit of our army, and has been stationed in northern Jiangsu since then. Why did they get here all of a sudden? Although Li Mingli was only a platoon commander, he was a veteran of the Red Army who joined the army during the Central Guard Division, but the cadres and fighters of the reconnaissance battalion and reconnaissance company were all selected among the best, and the establishment standards were not high, and their posts were never able to go up.

Shi Jianfei frowned and said nothing until the three squad leaders came back with the three reconnaissance teams.

After looking at the identity cards they brought back, Shi Jianfei muttered to himself: "The first brigade and the fifth brigade are all elite of the Japanese army, and they are different from the independent mixed brigades that were formed later to serve as garrisons. 1, the little devil really looks up to Lu Nannan! ”

Shi Jianfei did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the radio to send a report: "It has been confirmed that the enemy in front of him is the First Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigades and the First Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigades. ，…

After sending the telegram, Shi Jianfei ordered to start an attack on the devils.

Gunfire rang out in the silent night, and the curtain of the battle of southwest Lu slowly opened.

That night, the reconnaissance battalion of the instructor of the Eighth Route Army and the reconnaissance companies of each brigade received orders to launch an attack on the Japanese army in different directions.

The reconnaissance unit's raiding operations alarmed Yochi Fujii, commander of the Japanese Army's Southwest Lu Group and commander of the 38th Division, who was eagerly awaiting dawn in the county seat of Caoxian.

Yochi Fujii, a bitter haha in the Japanese army, since he was awarded the commendation of Emperor Hirohito, he thought that he had been looked down upon by His Majesty the Emperor, and he changed his past habit of obscurity and became a crazy pioneer.

Last time, Fujii Yochi tried to capture southwest Lu with the strength of a division, but he was taught a vivid lesson by Chen Shiqu, a famous general in a hundred battles, and was beaten passively everywhere, and when the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army was annihilated in Fei County, Fujii Yochi no longer dared to be arrogant, and honestly retracted Cao County, and began to stick to the spot.

In fact, according to Fujii Yochi's idea, he wanted to retract Dangshan County directly, but unfortunately Tada Jun did not let him return to Dangshan County.

Fujii Yotomo thought about the safety of the 38th Division, and Tada Jun thought that the occupation of Cao County was tantamount to inserting a nail into the southwest of Lu (). The two people have different ideas, and they have different eyes on Cao County. It's just that Fujii Yochi is a little small, and he has to obey Tada Jun's orders, so he has to stay in Cao County honestly.

In Cao County, Fujii Yochi suffered from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army swam around the 38th Division like a fish in the sea, and pounced on it to bite when it seized the opportunity. There were reports of attacks on small Japanese units every day. Later, even the common people of Cao County learned from the bad boy and followed the Eighth Route Army to calculate the 38th Division. As long as the Japanese soldiers dared to go out and act alone, they could be killed by the common people with weapons such as hoes, side knives, and homemade rifles. These ordinary people don't have so many constraints, and they are more ruthless than the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils who are killed are often smashed on their heads.

Fujii Yochi later figured out that ordinary people could still go to the Eighth Route Army to receive money for killing devils, and the price was still very high, which was higher than the income from growing crops.

Fujii Yochi was angry, and kept cursing Liu Yimin's soldiers, who were not hooligans.

If there was an analysis of the Eighth Route Army in the analysis report of those intelligence officers before the war, it could be judged that the Eighth Route Army would adopt this method to deal with the Imperial Army, maybe the Great Japanese Empire would not have started a war in North China. China is so big, there are 400 million people, if they all rise up to kill the imperial army to receive the award, not to mention that the army will be killed, I am afraid that even the pigs raised by the farmers of the country will be killed.

Annoyed and angry, Fujii Yochi launched a sweep in Cao County. It's a pity that the effect is not good, the Eighth Route Army is always the same, never confronting head-on, either attacking from the side, or poking from behind, and specifically selecting Fujii Yochi's logistics baggage troops and search troops to attack. Later, Fujii Yochi couldn't afford to toss anymore, and he had already replenished all the three supplementary brigades of the division to the combat units, and in such a loss, he could only apply for the transfer of additional troops from his own country.

Fujii Yochi was honest and had to use heavy troops to protect the logistics and heavy transport lines.
