Chapter 868: The Battle of Lunan (1)
The 1st Special Warfare Squadron and the 1st Regiment controlled Baiyan Town, and the other cadres opened the gate for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to move south to the Feiteng Highway (). Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong led the First Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, the New First Brigade, the New Fourth Brigade, the New Eighth Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade, the Engineer Brigade, the Artillery Brigade, and the Radiant Heavy Brigade immediately out of the Tianbao Mountains and rushed to Baiyan Town.
Seeing the division commander and political commissar leading the main force to arrive, Wang Dahu, the head of the first regiment, happily ran up and reported: "Division commander and political commissar, I can understand why Sun Heling wants to be a hardcore man."
This guy is ruthless! His family's granaries are one after another, and they are about to catch up with the big landlords in northeast Anhui. I said why are there so many poor people in this Yiméng Mountain, it turns out that this land belongs to a big landlord like Sun Heling, and the grain has also entered their granary! ”
Looking at Wang Dahu with an excited face, Cai Zhong said with a smile: "When did Wang Dahu become so small?" Taiyuan, Tianjin, Qingdao, Jinan, and Lianyungang have all been there, and Sun Heling, the rich man's things, is rare? ”
Wang Dahu also smiled, saying that he was used to capturing things, and the troops were resting in southeast Lu, but they were not captured, and they were embarrassed to eat their old books.
Cai Zhong asked Wang Dahu what happened to Sun Heling's family, how did the puppet army prisoners deal with it, and did the troops violate discipline?
Wang Dahu reported that Sun Heling's family members were under control and were being held with the captives. After the report, Wang Dahu said with a smile: "Director Cai, teach a group of ears to be the vanguard of the whole army. Not only should we rush to the front in war, but we must also be ahead in the enforcement of discipline. I have figured it out that these puppet army prisoners can supplement our army after education, "at least they can also be sent to the logistics headquarters for labor reform, and returning home to farm after education is also a contribution to the war of resistance." ”
Cai Zhong saw that Wang Dahu was very serious, and knew that he had learned a lesson from the last incident of killing prisoners in Jinan, and Ding instructed: "Not only prisoners of the puppet army, but also prisoners of the Japanese army." We have now set up the "Japan" to save the **, they need to have Japanese prisoners to supplement, as long as the education transformation is in place. Even if it can't be converted into a "day" to save the first soldiers, it's not bad to let them do some things to open mines and build roads, can they be reused! ”
Wang Dahu hurriedly nodded yes.
When you arrive at Baiyan Town, it is equivalent to going around to the back of the Japanese army on the front line of Feixian River, which means that the plan of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Lunan Campaign to outflank the Japanese army in a roundabout way started smoothly.
Luo Ronghuan didn't know that Liu Yimin was a traverser, and he didn't know that history was instigated by Liu Yimin's butterfly wings, and such a big change had taken place. You must know that the first attack on Baiyan Town by our army in history was made by Luo Ronghuan and Zhang Renchu commanded by the Sixth Regiment. At that time, our army fought for two days and two nights. The main reason is the lack of means to attack fortifications, Sun Heling's puppet army relied on strong fortifications to stubbornly resist, and "the Eighth Route Army won by strong attack" is naturally time-consuming and laborious. That is still the heroic and tenacious old sixth regiment is responsible for the attack, and if other troops are replaced, I am afraid that the battle will continue longer.
Liu Yimin knew the story of our army's three beats against Baiyan Town in history, and stood on the streets of Baiyan Town with emotion, Baiyan Town, which was so well fortified, was actually occupied by our army's special operations heroes without a single shot, which is almost like a fantasy. Thinking about it again, Liu Yimin couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Since he crossed over to join the Red Army, how many miracles have been created, Taiyuan, Tianjin,
Qingdao and Jinan are all occupied, not to mention this small Baiyan Town?
Luo Ronghuan saw Liu Yimin smirking silently, knowing that he was distracted again, he hurriedly pushed him, reminded him that time was precious, and hurriedly started to act.
Liu Yimin was no longer emotional, ordered the antenna to be erected, and the radio station was turned on to contact Yu Xuezhong.
Yu Xuezhong was about to go crazy at this time.
On the front line of the Huhe River, Yu Xuezhong's troops were confronted by the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army, and the 63rd Brigade
Wing and part of the puppet army. On the evening of October 7, under the cover of the two artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army, Yu Xuezhong commanded the 51st Army, the 57th Army, and the New Fourth Division to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army, breaking through the Japanese puppet army's Kù River defense line.
Yu Xuezhong's troops surrounded the county seat of Feixian in one go, but unfortunately it was too late, "It was dawn after only one strong attack, and the Japanese planes rushed to the battlefield. Yu Xuezhong sighed at the city wall in Feixian County that was blown up by the two artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and had to order the troops to evacuate and hide from the bombing of Japanese aircraft. The fighter was thus lost.
On October 8, under the cover of the air force, the main force of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army came to the aid from Yixian, Cangshan, and Tengxian. The Japanese army had many cars, mules and horses, and moved quickly, and the Yubu blocking troops suffered heavy losses under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese planes, and could not stop the Japanese army from reinforcing Feixian. The most unexpected thing is that the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army broke through the blocking position of Yubu under the cover of aircraft and tanks in armored vehicles and automobiles and entered the county seat of Feixian. In this way, the Japanese army in the county seat of Feixian was strengthened, and the plan to capture Feixian was impossible to achieve.
Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the reconstituted 10th Division of the Japanese Army, had just been transferred to the post of commander of the First Army, replacing Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro, who had been promoted to commander of the Kwantung Army, to command the Shanxi operation. When the Japanese army established the Central China Dispatch Army, the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army under the jurisdiction of the Central China Front Army were revoked, and the headquarters were all withdrawn to the "Japan". This large-scale personnel adjustment of the Japanese army, Ichirumori, who had been promoted to lieutenant general, once again went into battle and replaced Yoshio Shinozuka as the commander of the rebuilt 10th Division.
After sitting on the cold bench for so long, he finally got through and served as the commander of the rebuilt 10th Division, full of contributions to the emperor. After receiving a report from the 63rd Wing that Yu Xuezhong's troops were counterattacking on all fronts and attempting to capture the county seat of Feixian, Fan Zhaoshou pondered it. This time, he not only had to repel the counterattack of Yu Xuezhong's troops, but also completely annihilate Xuezhong's Sulu Theater troops and create a miracle in Lunan.
The chief of staff of the rebuilt 10th Division is still the former chief of staff of the 10th Division, Atsuro Umemura. Last time, when this guy taught his instructor to encircle and annihilate the main force of the 10th Division in Binxian County, he took the division headquarters to follow the division commander Ryosuke Isoya to stay in Dexian County to command, and escaped. When the Japanese army rebuilt the 10th Division, according to the instructions of Emperor Hirohito, it was still based on the original headquarters of the 10th Division, and it was only natural that Atsuro Umemura would continue to be his chief of staff of the 10th Division.
Iihimaru Mamoru wants to create a miracle in Lunan, and Atsuro Umemura is more urgent than his wish. The reason is very simple, that is, because the instructor of the Eighth Route Army eliminated the main force of the elite 10th Division, so that Atsuro Umemura is still only a big Zuo, and he can only watch those guys who are the chief of staff of the permanent division with him become major generals, envy, jealousy and hate! As for whether there is an idea of avenging the fallen soldiers of the 10th Division, to be precise, Atsuro Umemura has such an idea in his heart, but he is not eager to become a major general.
One wants to create miracles, the other wants to be promoted to general by virtue of military exploits, and the ideology of Lieutenant General Iichiru Mamoru Iichi, commander of the 10th Division, and Chief of Staff Atsuro Umemura Osaku are highly unified. Therefore, after receiving the report of the 63rd Wing, the two men quickly drew up an operational plan to destroy the troops in the Sulu Theater of Yu Xuezhong in World War I, and when the commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, asked the 10th Division to resolutely repel the counterattack of the Xuezhong Division, the 10th Division had already completed its mobilization, and the main force was exhausted and headed for the front line in Fei County.
The plan of Iichisho Shou and Umemura Atsuro was very dangerous, that is, relying on the cover of aircraft, blowing up a passage with aerial bombs, sending troops to quickly reinforce Fei County by car, forcibly entering the county seat, and strengthening the garrison of Fei County. Taking the county seat of Fei County as the bait, leading the Xuezhong Department to attack Fei County, the main force of the 10th Division divided the road to reinforce Fei County, and formed a flanking attack on the east and west flanks of the Xuezhong Division, completely encircling and annihilating the Xuezhong Division.
In this case, Yu Xuezhong could not help but be anxious, if he did not do well, the 51st Army, the 57th Army and the New Fourth Division might fall into the encirclement of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army (). Although Yu's troops were larger than the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, Yu Xuezhong knew that if he fought head-on, the two-to-one advantage in strength could not offset the Japanese army's combat superiority, and his troops were not the opponents of the 10th Division. If the Eighth Route Army still does not act, Yu Xuezhong will have to consider retreating and transferring, avoiding the Japanese attack first.
As soon as Liu Yimin's radio station was turned on, he received an urgent telegram from Yu Xuezhong.
Yu Xuezhong reported the situation of the battle of Feixian in the telegram, asked where the main force of the Eighth Route Army had arrived, and urged the Eighth Route Army to act as soon as possible. If the Eighth Route Army does not act again, Yu may fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army.
After reading Yu Xuezhong's telegram, Liu Yimin felt strange, this 10th Division is a rebuilt division, and it should be panicked when it encounters a large-scale counterattack by Yu Xuezhong's department, why is it so bold that he wants to encircle and annihilate Yu Xuezhong's department? This little devil is really a natural person, and he can even think of this kind of counter-attack tactic. However, this is also good, it is impossible for the main force of the 10th Division to escape, and Feixian, Yixian, Cangshan, and Tengxian can be decided in one go.
Liu Yimin immediately sent a telegram back to Yu Xuezhong, informing him that our army had captured Baiyan Town, and that it was about to divide troops along the Feiteng Highway to outflank the county seat of Feixian County, and asked Yu to fight flexibly and maintain a high-pressure posture against the county seat of Feixian County, and if necessary, he could withdraw to the north bank of the Kù River and rely on the original position to hold on, so as to gain time for our main force to encircle and annihilate the main force of the 10th Division, and absolutely not withdraw to defend the defense line of the Kù River.
At the end of the telegram, Liu Yimin cheered up Yu Xuezhong, saying that the elimination of the 10th Division would be tomorrow night, and the first merit of this battle belonged to the troops of the Sulu Theater.
After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin ordered the troops to act according to the battle plan. Li Lingfeng led the special operations brigade and the "Japanese" to save the first with the Hu Tiger cavalry, the troops of the army divided into two routes, all the way along the Feiteng Highway westward, attacking and occupying Teng County: all the way out of the Baoqinggu Mountains, attacking and occupying Yi County and Zaozhuang, and ending the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Yi County, controlling the Zaozhuang mining area. The artillery regiment of the cavalry brigade acted with the main forces. Liu Yimin himself led the main force to march eastward along the Feiteng Highway at night and secretly marched towards the county seat of Feixian County.
