After Liu Yimin launched the fishing operation, he immediately adjusted his deployment and ordered the supplementary regiment of the 1st Brigade to quickly enter Weicheng, take over the defense of the 1st Regiment, and defend Weicheng with the cooperation of the special forces led by Wang Laohu. The 1st Regiment immediately went out of the city, preparing to destroy the 104th Brigade Regiment that might soon reach Twenty Libao with the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the 1st New Regiment, and the troops directly under the division.

What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that the first to arrive was not the 104th Brigade, but the two supplementary brigades of the 108th Division stationed in Changyi and Pingdu.

It is said that all divisions and regiments of the army have supplementary brigades, which are not included in the official establishment, and their main task is to replenish combat losses. This mechanism can easily ensure the combat effectiveness of field divisions and regiments, and plays the role of making up for losses as soon as they are lost. First-class field divisions such as the Fifth and Sixth Divisions generally have four supplementary brigades. And such an ad hoc division as the 1st 08th Division has only two supplementary brigades.

Under normal circumstances, the supplementary brigade moves with the division and regimental headquarters, does not undertake separate combat missions, and is not equipped with heavy weapons.

After the 10th 8th Division pursued the main force of the Ludong Group of the Eighth Route Army from Jiaodong all the way to the Jiaolai area and the Changwei area, due to the long battle line, the two supplementary brigades of the 10th 8th Division were also used separately to protect the communication lines between Weixian and Pingdu and Weixian and Changyi.

The devils of the two supplementary brigades can be regarded as free. They are all recruited by reserve soldiers in their 30s, they are married, they have wives and children, they know that they need money to support their families, and they know that the forcible annihilation of Chinese women will not be prosecuted by any law, and they will harm the common people at the first opportunity, and forcible annihilation, robbery, extortion, and extortion are their forte, and they are much higher than those 20-year-old soldiers of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions, which have the strongest combat effectiveness. Even the devils of the other units of the 108th Division called them bandits in the army. As long as it falls into the hands of these devils with the worst discipline in the army, it will be regarded as entering the ghost gate, and it will basically end up ruining the family.

Because these two supplementary brigades lacked heavy weapons, let alone armored vehicles, tanks and other sharp weapons, and they were extremely evil, they became the first choice for small units of the Eighth Route Army, guerrillas, and militia to take revenge on the devils in the Eighth Route Army's cold gun and artillery campaign, and they rushed to take care of them, causing heavy casualties to the two supplementary brigades, which were originally infantry supplementary brigades of about 1,000 people, but in the end they were all reduced by half, which was barely enough for 500 people.

Such a large casualty made the 30-year-old devils of the two supplementary brigades tremble, and they kept asking for reinforcements and heavy weapons from the division and regimental headquarters. As a result, the soldiers were replenished from the mainland, but there were still no heavy weapons. Because they are a supplementary team after all, and they may be replenished with other troops at any time, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi still did not replenish them with heavy weapons. As a result, in the non-stop cold guns and cold artillery of the Eighth Route Army, the casualties of these two brigades quickly regained the top spot in the battle loss list of the 10th Eighth Division, and they cowered in the stronghold every day and did not dare to show their heads.

After the 12th Army of the Chinese Army decided to carry out the Jiaoji Road sweeping operation, the commander of the 10th and 8th Division, Xia Yuan Xiongmi, considered that the casualties of the two supplementary brigades were too heavy and they did not have heavy weapons, so he decided to transfer them back to Weixian to operate with the division headquarters and restore their supplementary functions. Therefore, when they learned that the 33rd Division was advancing eastward to Pingdu, Xia Yuan Xiongmi ordered them to hand over the defense of the stronghold to the puppet army and withdraw to Weixian to standby.

After receiving the order of Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan, the devils of the supplementary brigade stationed in Changyi said that they were close to Weixian, which was more than 50 miles, and they could walk for five hours, and they were not in such a hurry, so they planned to prepare at night, set off at dawn, and arrived in Weicheng before 10 o'clock in the morning. The little devils stationed in Pingdu can't wait, they are far away from Weixian, one hundred and fifty or sixty miles away, they must set off immediately, if they are late, they may not be able to catch up with the time for the division to attack. Therefore, the commander of the devil brigade of this supplementary brigade hurriedly handed over the defense to the 33rd Division, and after dinner, he took his troops, used the only ten cars, loaded them with ammunition boxes, and used dozens of looted carts to load the plundered grain, and the soldiers rode bicycles, looted mules, donkeys, and carried baggage on their bayonets, followed behind the cars and carts, and hurried on the road.

It is also the luck of this little devil, at this time, the Ludong Group troops commanded by Zeng Zhongsheng launched an attack on the ground east of Changle and north of Jiaoji Road, and the main force of the instructor led by Liu Yimin has not yet crossed the Jiaoji Road, and there is no large army of the Eighth Route Army near Pingdu and Changyi, only some local armed forces. When the armed forces in these places saw that the little devils dared to march at night with torches, they naturally wanted to shoot the water dogs and pick up the ocean. No one could have imagined that as soon as the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army pursued, they accelerated the speed of the devils' march, and they ran faster.

This group of little devils fled all the way, and they didn't even turn on the radio, and they didn't know about the attack on Twenty Mile Fort, the commander of the Twelfth Army, Lieutenant General Ogaka Kamizo, and they didn't receive a telegram order from Liu Yimin under the disguise of Yuan Xiongmi, so they hurried to Weicheng in a daze.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two devils actually arrived outside Weixian together, preparing to enter the city from Weicheng Beiguan.

After Wang Congyun, commander of the supplementary regiment of the 1st Brigade, and Wei Zhengcheng, political commissar of the 1st Brigade, led the troops and the 1st Regiment to change their defenses, they had just completed the deployment of Weicheng when they received a report from the brigade's reconnaissance company that a group of devils was heading towards Weicheng, and it seemed that they had returned from the change of defense, and the cars, carts, animals, and soldiers' bayonets were all looted.

This Wang Congyun is a native of Haicheng, Liaoning, and was born in a family of bandits.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, people in the Northeast knew that they couldn't be a general if they didn't have a beard, and they couldn't be a wife if they didn't remember a woman. Wang Congyun's grandfather and father are big bandits, and they are big bandits who have a friendship with Zhang Zuolin.

Not to mention, Zhang Xueliang really missed the old love and sent Wang Congyun to the United States to study military affairs. After graduating from the West Point Military Academy and returning to the Northeast, just in time for the 918 Incident, Zhang Xueliang withdrew from the Northeast without firing a shot, which annoyed Wang Congyun, he returned to his hometown in Haicheng and led his father's gang of old brothers and little devils to do it. After holding out for more than a year, the team was exterminated by the little devils, and the whole family died under the bayonets of the little devils.

Wang Congyun, who escaped death, entered the customs alone, went to Beiping and Tianjin to plot a comeback, prepared to raise funds, grain and grass, and pulled up a team to return to Liaoning to resist. Unfortunately, at that time, the political climate in the Pingjin area was not right, and from top to bottom, there were negotiations against each other, and those who resisted were guilty. Wang Congyun stayed in Pingjin for more than a year and achieved nothing, but he saw the Kuomintang thoroughly and simply went south to join the Red Army.

Wang Congyun was unlucky, when he arrived in the Soviet area, it was the time for the suppression and expansion. He graduated from the West Point Military Academy, and he learned a belly of American military theory, and also learned the outspoken style of a US officer. I told the story of growing up in a beard nest since I was a child, and I was soon sent to the Ministry of Security for review. It's not bad, he has a degree from the West Point Military Academy, and he has experience in the Northeast Resistance League, and he became famous as soon as he joined the Red Army.

After the news of the victory of the 18th Red Regiment at Xikou reached the headquarters of the Red Army, Wang Congyun heard the news by chance, and since then, Liu Yimin's name has been deeply imprinted in his mind. It wasn't until the headquarters and the Red Seventh Army met in Zunyi that he found a piece of paper, wrote down his resume, and begged the cadres of the Security Department to report his situation to his superiors.

When Liu Yimin returned to the army after attending the Zunyi Conference, Mr. Zhu mentioned Wang Congyun to him, saying that it was not easy for graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point to join the Red Army, and they were still waiting for distribution in the Ministry of Security. Liu Yimin came to his senses as soon as he heard it, and when he returned to the army, he directly took Wang Congyun away.

After arriving at the Central Guard Division, Wang Congyun first served as a staff officer at the division headquarters and traveled thousands of miles with the troops to Chengdu. When the Red Seventh Army was established, Wang Congyun asked to leave the troops, and asked to start from the platoon commander and start from scratch. Liu Yimin admired his heroism, so he asked him to be a platoon commander in the old first battalion of the Red 11th Division. All the way to Tongguan, Wang Congyun not only learned the style of the old Red Army in the old first battalion, but also made many military exploits and was selected to study at Kang Da. After going north to resist the war, he served as the commander of the supplementary regiment of the 1st Brigade.

Wei Tradition, the political commissar of the supplementary regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Teaching Brigade who partnered with Wang Congyun, is even more legendary, with the experience of passing the customs eight times without breaking his head, and is the founding major general and the first political commissar of the People's Liberation Army Art Academy in history.

Wei is a native of Daxian County, Sichuan, with a wealthy family, and has received a good education since childhood, and his calligraphy is very famous in his hometown. At the age of 17, he went to middle school and was a classmate of Zhang Aiping. After the Red Fourth Front Army arrived in the county, Wei Zhengzhi, who was already a party member, joined the Red Army and became the head of the propaganda section. As a result, Zhang Guotao continued to carry out the purging and expansion of the rebellion in the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, thinking that he was a petty intellectual, swaying from the left, and wanted to be strictly censored, and almost shot him several times.

When Shaanxi was carrying out land reform, the central government transferred a group of local cadres from the Red Fourth Front Army, and Zeng Zhongsheng recommended him to Liu Yimin, but after the land reform was completed, the Wei tradition remained in the Red Seventh Army. After going north to resist the war, Wei served as the political commissar of the supplementary regiment of the 1st Brigade.

Wang Congyun is tall and big, and after drinking foreign ink for a few years, he still hasn't changed the boldness of the Northeast people and the gangsterism that grew up in the beard nest, and he speaks rudely. Wei is traditional and delicate, short in stature, and the two of them are in a team, but they also have a tacit understanding. As soon as Wang Congyun said dirty words, Wei Zhengzhi asked him whether he was taught by West Point or Hu Zi, and Wang Congyun was immediately speechless.

After receiving the report of the brigade reconnaissance company, Wang Congyun and Wei Zheng discussed it and decided to put this group of devils into the city to eliminate it. However, considering that the division commander is now in Weicheng, and his own supplementary regiment is equivalent to the division commander's temporary guard force, and there is no room for error, Wang Congyun called the deputy director of the staff office who acted with the division commander [***] Feng for instructions. As soon as Feng checked the combat order of the headquarters of the 10th Eighth Division, he knew that this group of devils was the devil supplement brigade who returned to Weicheng on the order of Yuan Xiong Mi, and hurriedly reported to Liu Yimin.

At this time, Liu Yimin was busy with Major General Kobayashi Asaburo, chief of staff of the 12th Army, and Lieutenant General Gan Jutaro, commander of the 33rd Division. Tell Wang Congyun and Wei Tradition, put it into the city and use a bayonet to give Lao Tzu a breakthrough, and the action must be fast, and the gunshots can't be heard! ”

After receiving the order, Wang Congyun couldn't help but dance and laugh.

Wei Zhengcheng reminded him to deploy quickly, and the little devil will soon arrive at the gate of the city, what is the smirk of?

Wang Congyun couldn't help laughing and said to Wei Zhengji: "Political commissar, the division commander has always emphasized the use of bullets, cannonballs and devils to speak, so that the soldiers' stabbing skills have nowhere to use. Now it's okay, our replenishment regiment is the first to see the red bayonet. The division commander once said that the troops that dare to see the red with bayonets are the troops with a strong work style. Haha, as soon as this battle is fought, Lao Tzu's supplementary regiment may be upgraded to the main regiment. The two of us will become the head and political commissar of the main regiment. Whoever wants to be the commander of the supplementary regiment let him go, anyway, Lao Tzu has done enough, every day in addition to training is to carry ammunition boxes, follow the main butt to smell the fart, and work for a while, I'm afraid no one will know that Lao Tzu is a military cadre who was born with a beard, graduated from West Point, and was trained by Kang Da! ”

Soldiers are like this, they are all willing to be the main force, and no one wants to be the shadow behind the main force. In particular, the First Brigade of Jiao, which is the first-class main force of the whole army, is not with the army, and Liu Yimin can even shout the name of every soldier in the First Brigade. The supplementary regiment is different, since its establishment to the present, not to mention Chiefs Liu and Luo, even Chief of Staff Zeng and Director Cai rarely come. This one is that they are busy, and the more important thing is the status of the supplementary regiment in their eyes.

Wang Congyun's remark also aroused the pride of Wei tradition, and he opened his mouth to say: "Ge Laozi, get on the bayonet, fuck his turtle son!" ”

As soon as he heard the elegant Wei tradition say Sichuan foul language, Wang Congyun paused for a moment, and then laughed again. After laughing, he asked for a 38 big cover from the guard's hand, put on the bayonet, and roared, "Go, fight the bayonet with the little devil!" Together with Wei Zhengxi, he took the guards and lined up on his horse and galloped towards the north gate.

When Hirata Shaozuo, the captain of the devil supplement brigade stationed in Pingdu, rushed to the north gate of Weicheng, his already sleepy eyes were almost unable to open. Also, the overnight march, which had been 150 or 60 miles since the end of the night after dinner, although they had vehicles and cattle to walk on their behalf, did not have to march on foot, but they could not sleep all night, and could not be sleepy if they wanted to.

Seeing that the sentry guarding the north gate was holding a rifle and repeatedly interrogating and questioning, the flame in Hirata Shaozuo's heart went straight up, and he wanted to get out of the car several times to teach the sentry a lesson, thinking that this was the headquarters of the division and regiment, and the big war was imminent, and the strict investigation should also be done, so he ignored the sentries guarding the city gate. Until a sentry snatched the burden on the bayonet of one of his soldiers and threw him down in the watchtower, Hirata Shaozo couldn't bear it anymore, got up and stepped off the motorcycle, crossed the soldier in front, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull the sentry, crackled and slapped him, and only after the fight did he roar: "You, the son of a farmer, an inferior person, don't open your eyes to see, we were ordered by the division commander to return to Weicheng to serve as a guard at the division headquarters, you dare to rob my soldiers' trophies, I want to tell your unit commander, lock up your confinement!" ”

Hirata Shaosa is also a braggart. They were obviously a supplementary brigade, but Xia Yuan Xiongmi was worried that their combat effectiveness would not be good, so they withdrew to prepare to replenish the troops, and because they thought that the word "supplement" was not good, they said that they were returning to serve as a guard at the division and regiment headquarters.

The sentry who was beaten didn't expect Hirata Shaoza to suddenly go crazy, and after being beaten, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he put the gun on one end and loaded it with a hula. Or the soldier Cao who led the team next to him was quick, and quickly snatched the sentry's gun, saluted and bowed to Hirata Shaozo, and kept saying "The team is up, I'm causing you trouble", Hirata Shaozo was not angry, waved his hand, ordered the convoy and soldiers to enter the city, and he also sat back on the motorcycle, and led the troops into the north gate of Weicheng.

After entering the north gate, Hirata Shaozuo sighed with emotion, after all, it was the headquarters of the division and regiment, and the defense was extremely tight, and the streets and two rows were full of soldiers, with bayonets on their rifles, shining.

As if welcoming the hard-working Hirata and his entourage and thanking him for the food he had brought back, orders sounded in the ranks of soldiers on both sides of the street, and the soldiers all put their rifles on the ground, put their hands on their chests, and gave a military salute.

Hirata Shaoza looked back at the ranks of his supplementary brigade, and the soldiers seemed to be dozing off one by one, looking like a group of loose pigs, and he couldn't help but curse, "Pigs!" ”

A second lieutenant on duty ran up and saluted and reported to Hirata Shaozo, saying that he was from the baggage wing, and that he had arranged a camp for His Excellency Shaozo's troops on the orders of the division and regimental headquarters, and asked Hirata Shaozo to lead the troops with him.

After entering the north gate, Hirata Shaoza regained his demeanor as a major lieutenant of the Imperial Army, listened to the report of the second lieutenant, held back his tiredness, his face was full of smiles, and politely said, "I'm sorry for your trouble," and waved his hand to let the second lieutenant lead the way.

The second lieutenant saluted, ran to his motorcycle, got into the car and drove forward, behind him to Hirata and his marching procession. After walking for about a few minutes, the team stopped, and the second lieutenant came running over and reported that the chief of staff of the 10th and 8th Division, Toshiyuki Suzuki, and the commander of the baggage wing, Ruyoshi Nakasa, on behalf of the commander of the division, had come to greet the troops, and they would arrive immediately, and asked His Excellency to order the soldiers to line up and wait for the arrival of the chief of staff Suzuki.

When Hirata Shaoza heard this, all his sleepiness ran away, and he immediately got off the motorcycle and ordered the troops to assemble and wait for His Excellency the Chief of Staff to inspect it.

Hirata's order was still in effect, and the little devils immediately rolled down from the carts, cars, bicycles, mules and donkeys and began to line up. Even the supplementary brigade stationed in Changyi, which was following them, began to line up.

At this time, the strange change was abrupt, and the soldiers who were lining up to welcome them on both sides of the road seemed to have received an order suddenly, and rushed forward with their rifles loaded with bayonets. The distance was too close, and those soldiers arrived in three or five steps, and the bright bayonets stabbed directly at the chests of Hirata Shaozo and his soldiers.

Hirata Shaozo saw the great changes taking place, and knew that he had fallen into a trap, and Weicheng was afraid that it had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and if Weicheng was still in the hands of the 10th Eighth Division, these soldiers would definitely not attack their troops with bayonets.

This Hirata Shaozo is also very unusual, he has received very strict military training, at the moment of crisis, he took a sharp step back with his right foot, flashed the bayonet that came from the stab, shouted "enemy attack, bayonet", then reached out and pulled out the command knife, and began to resist.

Hirata Shaoza's quick reaction does not mean that those dizzy soldiers who are drowsy and dazed react quickly. They were lining up, making a fuss, who would have thought that the imperial soldiers who were still lining up to welcome them just now suddenly turned their faces and rushed up with bayonets. As a result, many soldiers were stabbed down in a dazed state, blood splattered all over the bluestone-paved streets.

By the time some of the devils reacted and began to resist, the little devils had already suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of bayonet attacks of the Eighth Route Army.

Hirata Shaozuo's eyes were red, and he cursed the division commander Xia Yuan Xiong Mi ten thousand times in his heart, and the old nest was served without even letting out a fart, and he insisted on letting his supplementary brigade jump into the death trap step by step. But no matter how cursed this is, it is useless, only by breaking through the siege by killing a bloody road, can the truth about the fall of Weicheng be reported to other troops and avoid greater losses.

Hirata Shaozo was indeed good, and soon retreated to the side of a truck, relying on the truck, and commanding those devils who were lucky to be alive to move closer to him and set up a battle to stab.

At this time, if the little devil shoots directly, it will cause losses to the Eighth Route Army, at least the slaughter of the Eighth Route Army can be stopped for a while, giving the little devil a respite. It's a pity that the infantry of the Yue army said very clearly that not only can you not shoot when stabbing, but you must also withdraw the bullet. On the one hand, this is to cultivate the soldier's martial spirit and murderous spirit, and on the other hand, it is also because the bullet penetration of the 38 big cover is strong and it is easy to accidentally injure comrades. As a result, these soldiers who were deeply poisoned by militarism not only did not shoot, but on the contrary, the soldiers who survived were busy pulling out their bayonets from their belts and stabbing them with bayonets. This came and went and delayed time, allowing the bayonets of the Eighth Route Army to stab some more devils.

The slaughter continued, and the streets were filled with the sound of thudging, thumping bayonets into flesh, and the blood of the little devils flowed on the bluestone floor, and the corpses filled the road.

Hirata Shaoza's voice was almost hoarse, and the little devil didn't have a chance to form a formation in front of him. However, these devils are all old devils, well-trained, and when it comes to desperate efforts, their combat effectiveness is still very strong. The devils who were lucky to be alive formed a triangular formation in twos and threes, and began to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

Because it was a white-knuckle battle and an unexpected ambush battle, Wang Congyun participated in the battle from the beginning. He was tall and strong, and stood there like a black iron tower, stabbing and teasing with a rifle, making it swift and powerful, and there were already five little devils who died under his bayonet.

Seeing that Hirata Shaozuo was wielding a command knife and resisting stubbornly, Wang Congyun rushed to his side.

Hirata Shaozo was already desperate at this time, because he found that it was his soldiers who were three people fighting back to back, and they were not the opponents of the Eighth Route Army.

For the stabbing technique, Hirata Shaoza has a lot of experience. He knew that the bayonet technique of the Chinese [***] team was referred to as Hua Thorn, and the movements evolved from the traditional Chinese martial art "marksmanship", which was fancy but not practical. The number of bayonets in the Yue army is called Oriental thorn by Chinese, which is mainly just a thrust action, concise and practical, paying attention to explosive power and speed, as long as you train every day, you can see it in one or two seconds when you fight the stab. Therefore, all the officers of the Yue Army, including Hirata Shaoza, believed that white-knuckle combat was the magic weapon of the Yue Army, and the world was invincible.

Hirata Shaozo shouted for command, while wielding a knife to fight, and did not forget to observe the situation on the battlefield in a hurry. He is a veteran, and at a glance he can see the doorway, the soldiers of the army shouted yah, yay, yay, stab, and the Eighth Route Army shouted kill, kill, kill stab. Not only will the soldiers of the army deceive the left and right, the right and the right, and the Eighth Route Army, but also the eyes, hands, and feet will cooperate more well. He witnessed a soldier of the Imperial Army stabbing at the Eighth Route Army with a stab, the Eighth Route Army was not in a hurry, his left hand slightly pressed the rifle of the Imperial Army soldier in front of the right, and the right hand pushed the gun forward and violently, and at the same time, the left foot strode forward to the left and stabbed the opponent. The whole action was fast and powerful, and it was done in one go, and it almost applauded Hirata Shaozo.

How could Hirata Shaozo think that the number of bayonets practiced by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army was the number of bayonets of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, and that was the tactics tempered after eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the three-year War of Liberation, and was refined on the basis of summarizing the stabbing tactics of the Japanese army and the Soviet army.

When Wang Congyun came to Pingtian, this guy was already a little crazy, brandishing a command knife and screaming.

Wang Congyun saw that when Hirata's command knife was cut down, he quickly pushed the gun forward with his left hand, and the four fingers and wrist of his right hand slammed the butt forward with force, and slammed Hirata's command knife with the right side of the bayonet seat, swinging Hirata's command knife to the side, and then a stab sent the bayonet into Hirata's abdomen. At the same time, he kicked the ground with his left foot, rotated the gun to the left with both hands, and pulled out the bayonet in one fell swoop.

This white-knuckle battle that took place near the north gate of Weicheng was actually a massacre. In addition to cleanly eliminating the two broken and incomplete devil supplementary brigades that recklessly entered the city, a total of more than 1,200 people, it also verified the power of the bayonet technique trained from the Red Eighteenth Regiment to the instructor. This is very important, because under Liu Yimin's deliberate request, the instructor's troops rarely fight bayonets with little devils. Although the little devil later reacted and used his skillful bayonet skills to bring harm to those soldiers who had not practiced tactical movements at home, the veterans all understood that their assassination skills were definitely higher than those of the Yue Army, and their confidence became stronger.

When Wang Congyun and Wei Zhengyi reported to Liu Yimin that the battle was over, the 10th Brigade of the 10th Brigade of the Yue Army had rushed to the Twenty Lipu Airport east of Fangzi, and began to exchange fire with the troops of the 1st Brigade of Jiao who remained at the airport.

Another hearty dish was served.
