Chapter 363: Sweeping Southeast Lu (6)
After receiving Hong Chaoyuan's telegram, Liu Yimin thought twice and felt that although the main force of the Fifth War Zone had gradually shrunk at this time, he had not given up Xuzhou. It is not easy to evacuate such a large-scale army, not to mention that there are still many schools, institutions, factories and mines, and materials that need to be evacuated in Xuzhou, and no matter how capable Li Zongren is, he also needs to have more time to do so. As for the army, they are wholeheartedly carrying out their plan to encircle Xuzhou, and how to announce the results of the Fifth Brigade to the outside world needs to be seriously considered.
According to Liu Yimin's plan, it is to wait for the Fifth War Zone to abandon Xuzhou and then launch a thunderous blow when the Yue army pursues the main force on a large scale, so that the Yue army will lose one thing and lose the other, and mess up its position. However, the Fifth Brigade seized the fighter plane, eliminated Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun's puppet army, and also eliminated part of the Sixth Brigade of Reading Mixed Brigade, and killed Major General Tsuchiya Bingma, the commander of the Sixth Brigade of Reading Mixed Brigade, and the results were a bit too great. At this time, if it is announced that the main force of the instructor has arrived in Shandong, it will not only affect the strategy of the Yue army, but I am afraid that it will also affect Chiang Kai-shek's mood. The timing of announcing the news of our army's entry into Shandong should be set after the Fifth Theater of Operations abandoned Xuzhou.
Can you think of creating a false impression for the Yue Army, so that they think that it was Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun's anti-water infighting that led to the death of Major General Tsuchiya Bingma? You must know that this Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi are not good birds, they are both capricious villains, whether they are themselves or [***] generals, none of them trust them. If the military can be allowed to create such an illusion, wouldn't it not only be able to temporarily cover up our army's strategic actions, but also allow the military to take it lightly and continue to be deceived step by step? In this way, the Fifth Brigade will be able to fish in southeastern Shandong, eat up the army one by one, and continuously expand the results of the battle.
Liu Yimin carefully looked at Hong Chaoyuan's report again, the combat time was very short, the enemy was annihilated without defense, and no one escaped the net. After the formation of the sixth brigade, it was directly driven to Juxian County to garrison, and there was no combat experience with our army, so it was difficult to immediately distinguish the number of our army with the same military uniform as [***], even if the order was to ask for help, I am afraid that I could not distinguish which way our army was, and I am afraid that it would only be said that it was the main force of [***].
Feeling that there was time to drill, Liu Yimin drafted a newsletter of "Pseudo Infighting, Lu Dongnan [***] Great Victory". The article said: On 28 April, all guerrilla units in the southeastern part of Shandong Province worked together to completely annihilate more than 2,000 people in the Sixth Brigade and Regiment.
As for the reason for the victory, the article said that after receiving the information that the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment of the [***] anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in Xiazhuang Town, Juxian County, Mo Zhengmin's troops asked for help from the anti-Japanese guerrilla units in southeastern and southern Luzhou.
On the night of April 27, Major General Tsuchiya Bingma, commander of the Sixth Brigade of the Yue Army, mobilized more than 2,000 people from the Seven Divisions of the Yue Army and Liu Hei, the commander of the Puppet Emperor's Cooperative Army, and more than 5,000 people from Zhang Buyun's Department of the Shandong Autonomous Alliance Army, to arrive at the front line of Xiazhuang Town in concealment, preparing to launch an attack on the 28th. Zhang Buyun's department, Liu Hei's seventh division and the Yue army fought fiercely, and when the enemy was defeated and wounded and dying, the anti-guerrilla troops on the front line of Xiazhuang Town attacked on all fronts, fought desperately and bloodily with the puppet, wiped out all the enemies, and killed Major General Tsuchiya Bingma, commander of the Sixth Brigade and Regiment of the Sixth Brigade of Kou Yuli, and Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi of the Han Dynasty. Our army suffered huge casualties, and there was not one in ten.
After the war, according to Adjutant Zhang Buyun's confession, on the night of April 27, after the puppet troops arrived at the designated position, Major General Tsuchiya Soldiers and Horses of the Chief Tsuchiya summoned Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi for operational deployment. When the demon Liu Heiqi saw Zhang Buyun's new aunt, he openly flirted with him, causing Zhang Buyun to be dissatisfied, and the two immediately fought and had a good time. Major General Tsuchiya Bingma, who was in charge of mediation, reprimanded the two, and asked Zhang Buyun to hand over his aunt's wife to the imperial army for temporary protection on the grounds of disturbing the morale of the army, and then return to Zhao after the war, temporarily calming the dispute between Zhang and Liu.
On the morning of the 28th, Major General Tsuchiya Soldiers and Horses issued an order to attack, and the army attacked Xiazhuang Town on all fronts. At this time, Zhang Buyun got the news that her aunt's wife was killed by the soldiers of the Yue Army. As a result, Zhang Buyun's troops began to attack the rear of the army, and the two sides were inextricably killed in the north of Xiazhuang Town. Due to the strong combat effectiveness of the army, Zhang Buyun's troops were defeated, so he sent someone to contact Liu Heiqi, saying that as long as Liu Heiqi helped him avenge the murder of his wife, he was willing to support Liu Heiqi as the commander of the joint defense of Zhucheng County, Yuezhao County, and Ju County.
According to the confession of the prisoners of Liu Hei's Seventh Division, after Liu Heiqi saw Zhang Buyun's liaison personnel, he thought about it again and again, and because he had obtained the newly obtained equipment from his department, the soldiers were all habitual bandits, and his combat effectiveness was strong, he was thrilled and asked Zhang Buyun to provide 200,000 yuan in military salary for Liu's department, and proposed to eliminate the devils, Zhang Buyun's department was organized into one division, and Liu Hei's seventh division was organized into two divisions, and the three counties of Zhucheng County, Yuezhao County, and Ju County were jointly defended and autonomous, and they jointly defeated the anti-Japanese guerrilla forces in Xiazhuang Town and dominated the southeast of Shandong. The liaison officer of the Zhang Department agreed. Liu Heiqi immediately led his troops to join the battle, attacking the Yue army from the south to the north.
On the one hand, the army was pinned down by me head-on, and on the other hand, it was attacked by Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi, and fell into a bitter struggle. After three hours of fierce fighting, the two sides suffered heavy casualties, and even ceased fighting and began to join forces to attack our army.
According to the interrogation of the prisoners after the war, it turned out that the puppet two sides could not hold each other, and if they continued to fight, they could only benefit our army, so Major General Tsuchiya sent people to Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi to negotiate, saying that the army reinforcements were about to arrive, and they would not stop the precipice, and as soon as the army reinforcements arrived, they would immediately completely eliminate the two soldiers and horses. If Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi are willing to truce and jointly deal with our army in Xiazhuang, then the army can ignore the attacks of Zhang and Liu on the army, and Major General Tsuchiya is willing to give Zhang Buyun four beauties and Liu Heiqi three beauties, and is willing to report to the commander of the Second Army, appointing Zhang Buyun as the commander of Gaomi and Zhucheng security, and appointing Liu Heiqi as the commander of the security of Yuezhao and Juxian. Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi were once again moved by the conditions of the army, and turned their guns to attack our anti-Japanese guerrilla troops.
However, at this time, the enemy and our strength were weak, and after the vicious war, we lost more than 10,000 guerrillas from all walks of life, and the damage was not great. Our army then surrounded the enemy on all sides, the trumpets sounded, the battle flags fluttered, everyone fought bravely, one by one desperately charged, broadswords, spears, earth cannons, bird guns, rifles, machine guns all went into battle, and nearby villagers also came to help with guillotines, heads, and clubs. The soldiers rushed into the enemy formation to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, and used their flesh and blood to offset the advantages of the pseudo-cannons and machine guns. After two hours of fierce fighting, all the puppets were annihilated, and our army had more than 12,000 people, only 1,600 wounded remained, and the rest all sacrificed, composing a heroic song of the sons and daughters of southeast Lu who were brave and unyielding, and went forward one after another!
After the war, after the joint discussion between the guerrillas and the local gentry, it was decided to set up the Anti-Ming Boiled Political Axe Administration and the Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Administration in Southeast Lu and the Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Detachment in Southeast Lu, and elected Guo Zihua as the commissioner of the Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Administration in Southeast Lu, and Wang Nanhu as the commander of the Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Administration in Southeast Lu, to organize and lead the people of Southeast Lu to persist in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines and swear to the death.
Then, Liu Yimin drafted the inaugural telegram of Guo Zihua and Wang Nanhu.
After writing, Liu Yimin found Luo Ronghuan and asked him to read the manuscript.
After Luo Ronghuan saw it, he felt that although this could confuse the enemy for the time being, paper could not contain the fire, and the devils would understand sooner or later, and everyone understood that it was impossible to eliminate more than 2,000 devils with local guerrillas. Besides, even if Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi are infighting, it is impossible for them to fight for a while like a little doll, and it is impossible for them to rashly attack the Yue army so quickly and make peace with the Yue army so quickly. What's more, such a great battle feat, it is obviously achieved by our army in a hard fight, and to say this, to a certain extent, is unfair to our soldiers.
Liu Yimin smiled: "Political commissar, you are too calm, so you can immediately see the flaws in the lies I made up." Terauchi Shouichi is different from Chairman Jiang, Chairman Jiang is currently overwhelmed by the army, as long as it is the news of the elimination of devils and Han annihilation, he likes to listen to it, and he can't take care of it for the time being. Terauchi Shouichi lost so many troops, he was already dizzy, where would he go to investigate. When they understand, it will take a while. This is enough time for us to continue to expand our gains. As for the issue of our army's military exploits, we can report it as we want, and we can commend it as we should commend it, it doesn't matter. ”
Luo Ronghuan thinks about it, as long as he can make Yue Jun unable to figure it out. As soon as the Luzhong Battle began, all the issues were clear, and there was no need to hide it anymore.
The two of them discussed carefully for a while, and then sent a telegram to the chairman and the headquarters, suggesting that the enemy be further paralyzed, and that the results of the battle should be announced to the public in the name of Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi having internal strife with the army and our army taking advantage of the situation to completely annihilate the enemy, so that the army could despise our Lunan troops and reduce the scale of the attack, so that our army could continue to expand the results of the battle. The newspaper also sent an article written by Liu Yimin to confuse the enemy.
The chairman quickly called back, and there were only eight words: "The more chaotic the better, and win in chaos." ”
After receiving the callback, Liu Yimin immediately called Hong Chaoyuan and Guo Zihua back, asking them to use the radio station of the Juxian Post Office to send a telegram to the whole country, and to send out the full text of the telegram and newsletter he had written. Then, in accordance with the battle plan, he quickly eliminated the enemy in Mengyin County, Yishui County, and Linyi County.
After this telegram was issued, it aroused great repercussions, and the Central News Agency broadcast the full text of the article "Pseudo Internal Strife, Lu Dongnan [***] Great Victory", and Mr. Chen Bui also personally wrote an article, saying that Lu Dongdong's great victory was the result of the heroic and unyielding of my [***] people, and that the warriors who generously died were outstanding representatives of the 40,000 Chinese; facts have proved that whether it is a devil or a Han annihilation, they are not monolithic; they are all a group of war demons without morality and soul, as long as they seize the fighter plane, Poorly equipped guerrillas can also wipe out elite armies.
The Xinhua News Agency published a special edition entitled "Warm Congratulations on the Great Victory in Southeast Shandong," which reprinted Liu Yimin's newsletter in full, pointing out that mobilizing the people, organizing the people, and implementing the unity of the whole people in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is the fundamental way to finally achieve victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The victory of our army in southeastern Shandong is the victory of the whole nation. However, the War of Resistance is a protracted war, and while destroying the enemy, one should pay attention to preserving oneself. Although 2,000 devils and several thousand puppet troops were eliminated, the anti-Japanese armed forces in southeast Shandong were also greatly weakened, and I hope that Commissioner Guo Zihua and Commander Wang Nanhu can seize the opportunity to reorganize the guerrillas, restore their combat effectiveness, and make new contributions to the nation's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
After reading the Xinhua News Agency's press release, Chiang Kai-shek called and ordered Dai Li to find out who Guo Zihua and Wang Nanhu were. As a result, Dai Li reported that neither of them had any information and could not find out their identities.
When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he initially felt that Guo Zihua and Wang Nanhu were probably one of the many guerrilla commanders in Lunan and southeast Lunan, and they might be slightly stronger after the war, and they were elected to take the lead. After pondering further, I felt that most of these guerrillas were guerrillas but did not attack, taking advantage of the war to harm the people and seize resources, and it was impossible for them to unite together and fight with the Yukou to such an extent. Not to mention the guerrillas, but those miscellaneous armies, in the face of military orders and military law, don't they blindly preserve their strength and run when they should? Maybe this Guo Zihua and Wang Nanhu are [***] people, and they took advantage of the emptiness in southeast Lu to pull the team. But this is also good, not only to eliminate the Yuekou, but also to weaken the strength of the [***] guerrillas, this battle is still okay. However, we have to think of arranging troops to go to southeast Shandong to fight guerrillas, and at least we can't let [***] occupy the territory. Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek scolded Niang Xipi and told Dai Li that he wanted to send someone to southeast Lu to find out the details of Guo Zihua and Wang Nanhu, so he didn't mention the matter anymore.
At this time, the transfer order of Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, commander of the Second Army, had been issued, and the new commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Higashigur Miyakihiko Wang, had not yet arrived, and Nishio Shouzo had not yet left Jinan.
After receiving the distress telegram from Major General Tsuchiya Terracotta, Nishio Shouzao was so angry that his eyebrows were tangled together, this Tsuchiya Terrakawa is really a fucking fool, he wants to replenish and supplement, what he wants, and not only did he lose the battle, but he also sent a farewell telegram, it seems that if the reinforcements are not in time, the lives of the Tsuchiya soldiers and horses may not be saved. Why are there more and more such fools in the imperial army?
Complaining to complaining, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo immediately ordered the aviation to urgently dispatch to reinforce the front line of Xiazhuang Town, Juxian County, and then ordered all the troops stationed in Linyi, Mengyin, and Yishui to send out reinforcements to the Tuwu soldiers and horses.
The military plane went around the town of Xiazhuang, and did not find the middle [***] team, but saw the corpses of the imperial army and the imperial allegorical army all over the ground, so they reported to the second army that the battle in Xiazhuang town had ended, the middle [***] team had withdrawn, the troops led by Major General Tsuchiya soldiers and horses were all shattered, and the corpses of the imperial army and the imperial allegorie army were all around Xiazhuang Town.
When Nishio Shouzo heard this, he was stunned, and he couldn't figure out how this situation could happen. But he knew that at this time, if he let the reading power of Linyi, Mengyin, Yishui, and Yuezhao mix into the remnants of the Sixth Brigade to reinforce Xiazhuang, it would be easy to fall into the trap of the [***] team and be wiped out by each one. As a result, while reporting to the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, hurriedly ordered the troops from all walks of life to stop their actions and return to the defensive ground to hold on.
When General Terauchi received a report from Major General Tsuchiya Terama, and the troops he led were collectively shattered jade, the first question on his mind was who did this. Thinking of the two battles near Taean, the army suffered heavy casualties, and until now, it has not really been figured out who did it. The suspicions in the heart of General Shouichi Terauchi are getting thicker and thicker, and he can't wait to go to the battlefield to see it in person.
At this time, the Central News Agency and Xinhua News Agency broadcast a newsletter written by Liu Yimin, "Pseudo-Infighting, Shandong's [***] Great Victory". General Shouichi Terauchi forced the translator to translate immediately, and he stood aside and waited, reading while translating. After the full text was translated, General Terauchi Shouichi also read it, and he understood the matter, knowing that it was because Tsuchiya soldiers and his soldiers killed Zhang Buyun's aunt and wife that Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi rebelled, and finally caused Tsuchiya soldiers and horses and the 2,000 imperial troops led by him to shatter. Moreover, it was very clear on the radio that China's anti-Japanese guerrillas did not please them, and only more than 1,600 wounded soldiers were left with more than 12,000 deaths, which can be regarded as basically wiped out.
After the matter was clarified, General Terauchi Shouichi scolded Major General Tsuchiya Bingma for being stupid, and he didn't want to go to Zhang Buyun's aunt and wife, wouldn't he subdue Zhang Buyun first and then reorganize his troops, and then occupy his women?
General Terauchi Shouichi didn't quite believe the newspaper statement, but he called Kita Cheng to ask one by one, knowing that Liu Heiqi had surrendered to the imperial army in 1933, and after getting the equipment, he turned back. This Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun themselves are bandits, and they have no credibility at all, and it is normal for them to disagree with each other. What's more, Zhang Buyun is a demon in the middle of lust, and he has eight aunts, all of whom are said to be women from large families, and each one is better than the other. Otherwise, with the surname of the demon in Liu Heiqi's color, he would not casually fall in love with Zhang Buyun Xinna's aunt's wife. On second thought, in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that there is no grand plan for the common prosperity of East Asia, and their imperial army came to China just for land, wealth, and beauty. Zhang Buyun's aunt fell into the hands of the imperial army, so naturally it was to be enjoyed by the imperial soldiers.
With such reasoning, Terauchi Shouichi felt that what the Chinese newspaper said was probably the truth, and there were too many wars caused for women in history. Major General Tsuchiya is also a human being, a normal man, and it is normal to make some mistakes made by men.
General Terauchi Shouichi ordered Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzao to restore the Jinan Reading Force garrison stationed in Jinan to the 13th Brigade and immediately go to Ju County to regain control of Ju County, Zhucheng County and Yuezhao County, and completely eliminate all guerrillas in southeastern Shandong.
Since the 13th Brigade was heavily damaged near Tai'an, it was withdrawn to Jinan by the Yue Army and mixed with the remnants of the 83rd Wing of the original 21st Division to form the Jinan Reading Garrison. After this period of rest, the Jinan Reading Force Garrison has completed the replenishment and troop running-in, and General Terauchi Shouichi has not forgotten them, so that they still go to the southeast of Lu under the number of the 13th Brigade of Reading Power Mixed Formation, and send them to the battlefield again.
Of course, Liu Yimin's suspicious tactics did not have much impact on the Fifth Brigade and the Ludongnan Detachment. Now that the county seat of Juxian County has been liberated, Zhucheng County was originally mainly garrisoned by Zhang Buyun's department, and there were very few troops in the county, and there were not many devils in Zhao County, there was no regular puppet army, only the temporary patchwork of the Han Annihilation Security Corps and bandits. In view of this situation, Hong Chaoyuan, Guo Zihua, and Wang Nanhu divided their troops, and the main force of the southeastern Lu detachment immediately occupied and captured Yuezhao County, cleared out the remnants of the Yuzhao puppet forces, and sent a regiment north to occupy Zhucheng County. Guo Zihua led Zhang Guangzhong's 4th Regiment and the 5th Brigade to change Mo Zhengmin's 2nd Regiment of Qifengnian Lunan Reading Force, stayed in Juxian County for training, mobilized the masses, and established local armed forces and political power. The main force of the Fifth Brigade quickly moved westward to solve the defenders of the Yue Army in Mengyin County and Yishui County, and then went south to solve the devil defenders in Linyi County.
After Hong Chaoyuan and Wang Nanhu led the main force to set off, Guo Zihua found Qi Fengnian, the head of the Second Lunan Reading Regiment, and Fang Zheng, the political commissar, to learn more about the ideological rectification work of the instructors. With this understanding, Guo Zihua realized that he did not know enough about the main force of the instructor, not to mention anything else, this grievance movement alone was extremely clever.
Guo Zihua directly put Qi Fengnian and Fang Zheng in charge of organizing the two regiments to carry out ideological and political education, and it was imperative to unify the thinking of the soldiers of the two regiments in a short period of time and turn them into real Eighth Route Army troops ideologically.
After arranging the training of the troops, Guo Zihua and Fang Zheng met with Mo Zhengmin.
At this time, Mo Zhengmin's thoughts were very complicated, and after being rescued by the Eighth Route Army, he was very grateful, but then the troops were reorganized by the Eighth Route Army, which made Mo Zhengmin's heart very painful. He is an old soldier, and he is a soldier of Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Buyun, not to mention that he does not have the concept of a high degree of unity of the whole army like the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, nor does he have the consciousness of obeying the Military Committee and Chiang Kai-shek like the Whampoa soldiers. Therefore, although he has anti-Japanese enthusiasm and anti-Japanese actions, he regards the troops as his own force in his bones. Although he was now forced to join the Eighth Route Army, he felt in his heart that it was the Eighth Route Army that had annexed his troops, so he had been sullen.
When Guo Zihua and Fang Zheng met Mo Zhengmin, Mo Zhengmin was lying on the bed smoking a big cigarette.
Guo Zihua said that he has been engaged in underground work for a long time and has dealt with all kinds of people, although he does not have a good impression of these old soldiers who smoke big cigarettes, he is not surprised. Fang Zheng is different, since he joined the Red Army, he has been in the blood, and he has always been fighting for ideals and beliefs, where is there a big cigarette in the ranks of the Red Army! Therefore, when he saw Mo Zhengmin swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, the green tendons on Fang Zheng's forehead jumped straight, and his hand unconsciously touched the pistol on his waist.
Seeing this, Guo Zihua coughed lightly, Fang Zheng immediately became alert, knowing that he had lost his temper, this Mo Zhengmin is a new comrade, and he can't directly demand it with the discipline of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, he is here to do ideological work, why is he so unbreathable?
