Chapter 259: Evacuation of Texas

The battle to capture Texas, from the launch of the attack at 10 o'clock in the evening to the end of the battle, took a total of one and a half hours, half an hour earlier than the two hours required by Xiao Siming to end the battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

What Xiao Siming didn't expect was that 126 Japanese prisoners were captured in the Battle of Texas!

Xiao Siming is not uncommon for Japanese prisoners, from the Tibetan Mountain Temple all the way to the Jilu border, from the wounded squad to the independent battalion, the eastward advance brigade, and then to today's eastward advance detachment, Xiao Siming's department has eliminated so many devils, and there has never been a single prisoner. However, tonight's battle to capture Texas was different, the Japanese army had too few combat troops in the city, and the vast majority of the Japanese troops were all units with heavy troops, and without the support and demonstration of field troops, the sense of war of these heavy soldiers was far worse, and the desire to cross the mountains, cross the sea, and die for His Majesty the Emperor was weakened, and there were many more who raised their hands to surrender.

The Eighth Route Army is a civilized division, even if the soldiers are no longer willing to capture prisoners, and the little devils raise their hands to surrender, then there is no way, they can't kill prisoners!

This is the iron law of the division of civilization!

The Jilu border is the place of the four wars, not the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, nor the Jin-Cha-Ji and Taihang base areas, there is no mountain cover, and it is indeed very inconvenient to take these Japanese prisoners with them when the Japanese army is heavily encircled and suppressed. Not to mention the consumption of food and medicine, it is necessary to prevent them from rebelling at any time, unless they are thoroughly educated and converted. But that takes time!

Therefore, when Xiao Siming learned that 126 Japanese prisoners had been captured, his first thought was to send these prisoners to Luoyang and hand them over to the headquarters of the commander of the first theater. Chairman Chiang is in a hurry to cheer up the Kuomintang army, and these prisoners can parade in Luoyang City and Wuhan City to boost the anti-Japanese morale of our army and people!

During the Pingxingguan ambush, it was the baggage troops of the Fifth Division that were hit. None of the little devils surrendered, and the 115th Division failed to capture a single prisoner. The main reason is that the Japanese army first invaded the battlefield of China, and the momentum was fierce, and the baggage troops were escorted by combat troops, and the little devil must be desperate.

In this battle of Texas, the Japanese army's military station and baggage troops stationed in Dezhou belonged to various divisions and brigades, and they did not belong to each other, and fought separately.

In the middle of the battle, the logistics office and the baggage battalion had already entered Dezhou City and began to take over the Japanese warehouses and count the delivery materials.

Dezhou City is now an important storage and transit base for supplies for the Japanese army, and every warehouse is full of weapons and ammunition, gasoline and diesel, rice, white flour, medicine and daily necessities.

The main strategic purpose of the capture of Dezhou was to stumble the footsteps of the Japanese army in capturing Wuhan and avoid the great tragedy of opening the mouth of the garden and using the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy, causing the displacement of tens of millions of people and the death of nearly one million people. Another purpose was to seize the supplies stored by the Japanese army in Texas!

Shi Poshan, the director of the logistics department, only had time to take a general check, just like in Shouyang County, and called Xiao Siming to report urgently: "Report to the commander, we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune!" ”

There is no need for Shi Poshan to report this, Xiao Siming naturally knows that he has made a fortune and made a fortune. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many supplies in Texas City, Xiao Siming wouldn't have chosen to do it in Texas!

Xiao Siming immediately ordered Shi Poshan to immediately organize a rush to evacuate Texas!

The Texas airport was the first to be captured by our army, and the front team responsible for carrying the airport's materials had already begun to move. The front support team responsible for carrying the delivery materials in Texas City is on standby outside the city.

Xiao Siming gave an order, and Shi Poshan immediately notified the front support team that was on standby outside the city to enter the city, and according to the rush transportation plan of the front teams of each county assigned in advance, they went to each point to carry the materials.

Well, the gunfire in Dezhou City has not completely stopped, and the mighty front troops mobilized from the seven counties controlled by the Eighth Route Army of Leling, Ningjin, Qingyun, Wudi, Yanshan, Yangxin, and Deping poured into Dezhou City.

When organizing the front team, all counties made careful arrangements and organized it very closely. The responsibilities and tasks of the stretcher team transporting the wounded and the transport team transporting the captured materials are very clear. Each team is led by county, district, and village cadres.

Needless to say, the stretcher team, following the action of the field ambulance team, has long been in the city with the troops.

Fearing possible accidental injuries, the convoy has been on standby outside the city.

The villagers who poured into the city of Texas, driving horse-drawn carts, ox-carts, donkey carts, pushing carts, and carrying pickers, had no eyes enough, and looked around and looked at the brilliant light left by the cannonballs and bullets in the distance from the night sky, and exclaimed from time to time. Fortunately, there are cadres with them, otherwise, so many former fellows would have to be messy!

A team of front-line teams is moving towards their predetermined goals.

By the time the gunfire stopped, the front teams had already started loading!

Yan Rou entered Texas with the front team of Leling County, and their task was to carry supplies to the Texas Railway Station.

Shi Poshan, the director of logistics, was organizing the transportation at the train station, and when he saw Yan Rou, he immediately said hello to the leader of the team in Leling County, and pulled Yan Rou out to assist him in his work, responsible for calculating the seized materials!

followed Shi Poshan around the station platform and the freight yard, and Yan Rou was stunned when she saw it. There's no way, the little devil has too many materials stored on the platform and in the freight yard, can you see people's hearts beat faster!

Yan Rou whispered: "With so much ammunition, oil, rice, and white flour, this battle is worth it!" ”

Before Yan Rou joined the army, she was the eldest lady of the Yan family, she knew how to operate, and she looked at the results of the attack on Texas more from the perspective of management!

Shi Poshan was like a fool, he smiled and said, "Commander Xiao fights, which battle is not a lot of captures and great results?" Look at it, these canned rice, white flour, and canned beef are piled up, enough for the whole detachment to eat for a year! Bullets, shells, grenades, hehe, it's enough for the whole detachment for a year! ”

This is all the truth, the munitions, oil, and grain stored by the little devils in Texas are used to ensure that the 780,000 horses and horses of the six armies, namely the 16th Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd and 13th Brigades, and the 3rd and 5th Independent Mixed Brigades, will participate in the war. The four regiments are only about 8,000 people, and there is no problem at all if they eat and use for a year.

However, Shi Poshan's calculation was wrong; after these materials were transported back to the base areas, it was necessary to ensure not only the supply of the main force, but also the supply of the Wudi Independent Regiment, the Yanshan Independent Regiment, and the Deping Independent Regiment. It is also necessary to take out a part of the relief of the poor and stabilize the market, can't it just ensure the supply of the main force?

Only the captured weapons and ammunition, gasoline, and diesel fuel of the Japanese army were truly supplied to the main forces!

For such a large-scale move, the logistics service adopts a very simple approach, that is, to keep an account according to the number of items carried by each front team. For example, the front team of a village in a certain district of Leling County took away a total of how many boxes of ammunition, how many bags of white flour, and how many bags of rice were removed, and the total number was recorded. Then there is how many boxes are removed by the district-wide front team, and how many boxes are transported by the whole county.

Some of the cadets of the military and political schools in the Jilu border area were selected and sent from the army, as well as local cadres selected and sent by various counties, and there were also intellectuals from the Jilu border region who had signed up to study. These people are literate and able to keep accounts, and can cooperate with the logistics department and the baggage battalion to be responsible for commanding the front teams and keeping accounts.

The rubber-tyred carts and pack horses of the baggage battalion were all loaded with artillery shells, grenades, explosive packs, bullets, gasoline drums, and diesel drums. Then there is the loading of the front team of each county, and the same is to leave a team after loading a team.

The same thing is repeated on the platform of the station, the freight yard, the warehouse on the canal wharf, the grain depot in the city, etc.

After dawn, the Japanese army, which learned that Texas was lost, would definitely send planes to reconnoiter and bomb Texas. There was not much time left for the Eighth Route Army, and it was necessary to move the weapons, ammunition, oil, and food in Dezhou City before dawn, otherwise, once the Japanese army launched a large-scale air raid and caused the explosion of ammunition and oil, the losses would be great.

After the Great War, the air in Texas City was filled with the smell of blood. A team of fronts, led by the cadres, loaded with captured materials, left Dezhou City in an orderly manner, drowning in the night.

The people in the city of Texas, when the gunshots rang out, couldn't figure out what was going on, thinking that the little devils were plundering again, and every household was busy closing the door and turning off the lights, for fear of suffering from the disaster of pond fish.

When the gunfire stopped, some brave people looked out through the windows and doors, only to find that it was the Chinese army that captured the city of Dezhou, and many ordinary people wearing coarse cloth clothes were driving and carrying burdens to help the army carry things!

Now it's okay, the people of Texas City finally have someone open the door and come out to watch. Immediately afterwards, someone shouted, beckoning the villagers to come out and watch the liberation of Texas by the Eighth Route Army!

After the little devils occupied Texas, how many tragedies were created, and the common people hated the Japanese puppet army to the core! After the mobilization of cadres and soldiers, the people in the city began to make fires, boil water and cook, help the Eighth Route Army transfer materials, and at the same time pack up things and prepare to transfer to prevent Japanese retaliation.

In the capture of Texas, only 4 tanks and 4 armored vehicles of the Japanese Army Texas Garrison Command were captured, but 100 cars and 300 rubber-tyred carts were captured.

Needless to say, the rubber-tyred cart, the ready-made pack horse of the Japanese army, can be used directly on the car, and some of the villagers in front of the branch are handlebar type!

Although the Eighth Route Army had made full preparations before the capture of Texas and mobilized all the people who could drive in the base areas, there was still not enough manpower. In desperation, I had to mobilize in Texas City, it turned out that the drivers and repairmen of Texas private automobile transportation companies were mobilized, and those who could drive in Texas City were also mobilized, regardless of age, as long as they could drive, they finally loaded all 100 cars with seized materials and drove out of Texas City!
