After listening to Pan Xiaoan's report, the commanders at the meeting conducted a thorough study and determined the battle plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Jianmin ordered the 22nd Regiment to be the main attacking force, and after entering the city from the West City Gate, Fan Yongtang and Zhao Jinshen led the way, bypassing the 6th Squadron of the puppet army and the puppet police station in Xijie, and went straight to the security headquarters, doing everything possible to capture Liu Xianzhou alive, so as to facilitate our army to solve the puppet army in other places. After that, they will divide up to deal with the enemies of West Street and South Gate, Kui Xing Lou and South Street.

The basic regiment was responsible for attacking the North City Gate and the enemy to the east, and at the same time sent a company to guard the key points at the Liaoxin Highway, which was 10 kilometers away from the county seat, and dug up several roads to prevent the enemy from coming to the aid by car. After the basic regiment captured the north gate, it was responsible for attacking and destroying the enemy held by the former Japanese headquarters.

The Liaotang detachment was responsible for attacking the east gate, and sent a squad to guard in the direction of Yanggu to defend against the enemy in Yanggu. The Shen County Brigade was under the unified command of the 22nd Regiment and was responsible for attacking the South Gate. The command post of the military sub-division was set up in Anzhuang, outside Xiguan. After arriving at the designated place, all units were not allowed to alarm the masses and not shoot guns, and they were not allowed to attack after the 22 nd Regiment had fired in the direction of the main attack.

After accepting the combat mission, the units carried out full combat mobilization and various combat preparations. In the city of Shen County, arrangements were also in full swing, and Fan Yongtang conveyed the combat mission to the party members and the personnel he contacted in an extremely secret way, and made a clear division of labor for various specific affairs such as responding, liaison, and leading the way.

On July 31, 1944, the units set off separately. Zhao Jianmin led the 22nd Regiment and the Liaotang Detachment to set off from the base area of Dawangzhai. The 22nd Regiment is the main team of the new Eighth Brigade, which has been tested by war for a long time, and in order to support the 7th Division in southern Hebei, it was transferred to Zhao Jianmin's command, that is, his hometown, to open up an anti-Japanese base area in northwest Shandong.

The team first walked more than ten miles to the south, turned east after reaching Dongduzhuang, and went north after reaching Yanying Village. While he was on the move, suddenly the correspondent rode a fast horse and sent Zhao Jianmin a telegram. Zhao Jianmin opened it and saw that it was an urgent telegram jointly sent by the three leaders of Song Renqiang, Yang Yong, and Su Zhenhua.

The telegram read: "The military region is not sure that one of your military sub-districts will attack Shen County, so it should stop carrying out the original plan and wait for the unified organization of the military region to liberate Shen County in the future." ”

After receiving the telegram, Zhao Jianmin felt a lot of pressure and immediately called the staff officer: "Please invite Han Xing from the Liaotang detachment." He knew that although Han Xing was not from the Liaotang detachment, he had been following the Liaotang detachment.

After a while, Han Xing came, and Zhao Jianmin showed the telegram to Han Xing to see. Han Xing read the telegram three times in a row, frowned, and after a while, he said, "The problem is serious, Commander Zhao, you invited me here to ask me to express my opinion." I'll just get the shot!

If I were the three leaders of Song Renqiang, Yang Yong, and Su Zhenhua, I would also give such an order, according to the city defense situation of Shen County, the troops of a military region would not be able to conquer Shen County, which is fortified. This is for the sake of us......

But on the other hand, they didn't know that our attack was in the city, and the attack outside the city was only very secondary. Now that the order has been given, our 22nd Regiment and Liaotang Detachment can stop, but all the troops are on the march, and the underground personnel in the city are also ready and cannot stop.

If this operation is canceled, all the personnel working underground will be exposed, and who can afford the loss of several years of hard work and hundreds of people? ”

Zhao Jianmin nodded and said, "How can I not know this!?" But the military region has already issued an order, and I deliberately disobey it, and I will be punished with the highest punishment! If you want to explain, the telegram arrived at the military district, and I am afraid that the military district will not necessarily approve it. ”

"In this way," Han Xing thought for a moment and said, "in my own name, send a telegram to the head of the military region to express my opinion." ”

Zhao Jianmin said movingly: "Thank you for supporting me, I believe that your words are particularly weighty." Our actions are still according to the original plan, and if something goes wrong, I will bear all the consequences alone. ”

He immediately ordered the 22nd Regiment and the Liaotang Detachment to continue to advance towards Shen County.

In addition to stating the reasons why the plan could not be changed, Han Xing finally added the following sentence: If this opportunity is missed, I am afraid that the hundreds of underground personnel in the city will be miserable, and they will have to pay the lives of thousands of young soldiers to attack Shen County again.

The weather at night was unusually hot, and the footsteps of the soldiers were heard, the limited light in the sky had long been covered by dark clouds, the treetops tore the cloud curtains, and the air with a few earthy smells diffused into the distance, shaking all kinds of materials on the horses, clanging and clanging.

The night was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and lightning flickered on the horizon not far away. "It's going to rain heavily! Grab it and put it on if you have rain gear. One of the fighters shouted.

The whistle of a gust of rain came, from small to large, to weak to strong. "Whew-whew-"

A bright light accompanied by a loud sound tearing the eardrum, "quack-" On a tree not far away, a ball of fire suddenly flashed, and a big tree exploded with a pop, and the fire dust fell one after another. In an instant, the heavens and the earth were dark again, so dark that you couldn't see me, I couldn't see you.

From time to time, someone in the ranks fell. "Get up, get up—" Someone pulled him up and moved on.

The sound of thunder and rain raged, shattering the black curtain of night, and the pouring rain poured down the heads of the warriors......

Han Xing picked up a raincoat and wanted to put it on Zhao Jianmin's body. Zhao Jianmin suddenly broke free, and roared loudly: "Get out of the way!" Let me sober up! Wake up! ”

The heavy rain flowed down Zhao Jianmin's head suddenly.

Han Xing knew that he was uncomfortable and was masochistic to himself......

In the rainstorm, suddenly a telegraph operator was drenched in rainwater and ran towards Zhao Jianmin quickly, saying as he ran: "Urgent telegram! Emergency! ”

Zhao Jianmin shouted with a nervous heart: "Raincoat, flashlight-"

The guards immediately put on their raincoats and counted them as umbrellas, and took flashlights to illuminate them. Zhao Jianmin and Han Xing squeezed their heads under their raincoats, observing the contents of the telegram, and Han Xing trembled in his heart:

Commander Zhao Jianmin of the 7th Division of Southern Hebei:

The call is received and the situation is known. You can be flexible according to the situation. But there is one point, if the situation is not available, you must not blindly attack.

Song Renqiang, Yang Yong, Su Zhenhua

July 31, 1944 at 10 o'clock

Zhao Jianmin read the telegram twice, and suddenly lifted his raincoat, hugged Han Xing, and shouted in ecstasy: "Whoa—whoa—"

The heavy rain immediately poured it on his body again.

Han Xing also hugged him and shouted happily: "Whoa-whoa-whoa-hee-"

The staff officer next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly came over to stop him and said, "Commander Zhao, please pay attention to the marching discipline." ”

The soldiers next to him couldn't help but turn their heads, inexplicably observing a commander of the Seventh Division, a commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, what was going on, what made them happy, and where was the appearance of a chief.

Due to heavy rain and muddy roads, the troops had a very difficult march, and when they arrived at Xiguan in Shen County, they were half an hour behind the scheduled time, and Zhao Jianmin set up his command post in a small temple in the east of Anzhuang Village.

At 30 a.m. on August 1, outside the West Gate, Wu Xiaoming, who was in charge of the assault company, shook his flashlight three times towards the West Gate. Wu Xiaoming's company was originally a unit of the new Eighth Brigade, and this time, the 22nd Regiment borrowed them to serve as an assault force to attack Ximen.

The west gate went up to the city wall, and he also shook the flashlight three times outside the city. The code was connected, and everything was fine.

Zhao Jinshen saw that he had the right code, grabbed the rope that had been prepared and fell outside the city, and opened the fence gate.

Wu Xiaoming's assault team was also fully prepared, first erected a ladder into the moat, stretched into it for more than a meter, and then stretched the ladder from this ladder, and then stretched out to the side of the ditch, stacked ladders on the ladder, and the five-meter-wide moat was all set up with ladders.

In front is a barbed wire, cut.

In front of him was a moat, and the nephew was playing a lantern - as usual (uncle).

In front of it was a wooden fence, which Zhao Jinshen had opened. Sun Datu and Wang Laosan's assault team arrived, and they didn't even have time to shake their hands, Zhao Jinshen stretched out his hand forward, meaning: "Please enter the West Gate-"

At this time, Fan Yongtang had already opened the lock of the city gate with a gun, and several soldiers helped to open the two huge city gates, and the troops at the city gate swarmed in.

According to the battle plan, Fan Yongtang and Zhao Jinshen led the assault team directly into the enemy's security headquarters. Although the heavy rain was lighter, it was still falling, and God helped people, Wu Xiaoming's assault company wore raincoats, followed behind Fan Yongtang and Zhao Jinshen, and continued to intersperse forward.

The raincoat has such an advantage, once you wear it, you can't see the military uniform inside. Besides, I took off my raincoat, and in the dark night, the clothes of the Eighth Route Army were not much different from the clothes of the puppet army. When I bypassed the gate of the Sixth Squadron, under the dim lantern, there were two soldiers standing guard, looking at these teams coming, they didn't even ask, they thought it was their own people!

When I arrived at the police station, there happened to be two policemen changing the guard, and one policeman saw so many people coming, and said, "Which part?" ”

Fan Yongtang replied: "It's Lao Zhao, just stand up for your post." What do you do with all this nosy? ”

The policeman laughed: "It turned out to be Adjutant Fan, hello!" ”

Fan Yongtangli ignored him and continued to lead the team forward.

The compound of the security headquarters is in front of you, and the side gate has long been closed at this time, if you want to enter, you can only enter through the south gate, Fan Yongtang continued to lead the troops to the gate. At this time, the gate was closed, only the small gate next to it was still open, and a few sentry posts were standing.

"Stop, what part, password!" The sentry standing guard shouted loudly.

"Peanuts—" Fan Yongtang replied loudly.

The sentry standing guard also knew Fan Yongtang, smiled a little, and said, "It turned out to be Adjutant Fan, who came in the middle of the night, what happened with the team." ”
