"It's Commander Liu's order, I can't figure out what the specifics are! Open the door and let us in. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The person on duty saw that it was Liu Xianzhou's order, and besides, Fan Yongtang often came and went, and he was Commander Liu's celebrity, so he didn't ask again, and hurriedly opened the door.

Fan Yongtang led the team to continue to break in, and as for these sentries, they had their own people behind them to deal with.

Wu Xiaoming even knew the enemy's deployment in the security headquarters, and Fan Yongtang pointed to the enemy's commando team, the suppression of the communist squad, and the propaganda squad as he walked. According to the original battle plan, Wu Xiaoming waved his hand, and each squad went to control the enemy according to the prior arrangement.

There were also enemy sentries at the entrance of the headquarters, and when the sentries saw that there were so many people, they shouted: "Which part?" ”

Fan Yongtang shouted: "Fan Yongtang, a squadron." As he spoke, he came to the sentry, and before the sentry could speak, Sun Da suddenly grabbed his neck with a pair of big hands like a fan, and the sentry couldn't breathe.

Fan Yongtang led a platoon of the assault company to continue to push forward, through the hall, directly into the second hall, and rushed to Liu Xianzhou's bedroom.

Liu Xianzhou was awakened by the chaotic footsteps in his sleep, and felt that there was something wrong with the voice, so he hurriedly shouted: "Orderlies, orderlies-" At this time, there were already four or five bright bayonets that had opened Liu Xianzhou's mosquito net, and Liu Xianzhou was only wearing a pair of pants at this time.

Liu Xianzhou was furious and roared, "What are you doing here, who is the leader?" If you want to rebel, isn't it, I usually treat you well, why do you want to do this? ”

Fan Yongtang said calmly: "Commander Liu, can you please be quiet?" You've been captured. ”

When Liu Xianzhou heard that it was Fan Yongtang, he was even more angry: "Adjutant Fan, what are you going to do?" Isn't the problem of your squadron solved, what else do you want me to do? If you have something to say, just say it, what conditions can you mention!? ”

Fan Yongtang said: "I am now the Eighth Route Army, and I am no longer a puppet army. ”

When Liu Xianzhou heard this, he was dumbfounded for a while, staring at him with wide eyes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Gunfire erupted, and sporadic gunfire rang out in the compound of the security headquarters, which was the squads of the assault company, dealing with the enemy everywhere in the compound. The troops outside the city also rang out the sound of siege gunfire, and the large army began to move, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, and grenades rang out.

Most of the 22nd Regiment entered the city and attacked the enemy from inside the city. The basic regiments and local troops outside the city fiercely attacked the city outside the city, and the enemy was attacked from both sides and panicked, except for the original Japanese headquarters and the enemy at the south gate, who resisted stubbornly, the rest of the enemy could only surrender with their guns.

The troops continued to attack, and the puppet army was completely routed, and most of them surrendered, except for some who fled from the east gate.

In just a few hours of fighting, the troops of the 7th Division regained this important town in northwestern Shandong, which the Japanese army called "impregnable".

Liu Xianzhou was escorted to Zhao Jianmin, his face full of despair, and he was no longer the arrogant and domineering security commander of Shen County.

Zhao Jianmin said to him: "Liu Xianzhou, please think clearly, you should see the current situation clearly." If you cooperate with us to liberate the entire Shen County, we will ensure the safety of your life and property and that of your family. If you don't cooperate, you should know the consequences. ”

At this time, Liu Xianzhou has nothing to say, the phoenix that has lost his hair is not as good as a chicken, he has become a water dog, and others can fight as they want, and there is no bargaining capital at all. I had no choice but to say: "I am willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route to liberate Shen County, and ask the Eighth Road Network to open up to ensure the safety of my life and that of my family." ”

Zhao Jianmin asked Liu Xianzhou to write letters of persuasion to the puppet army in Wanghua, Zhangtun, Machang, Shibalipu, Zhaozhuang and other strongholds in Shen County. Liu Xianzhou had no choice but to write a letter of persuasion to surrender and ask them to surrender. After seeing Liu Xianzhou's letter of persuasion, the puppet army of Wanghua, Zhangtun, Shibalipu and other strongholds saw that the general trend had gone, and it was useless to resist any longer, so they surrendered to the 22nd Regiment and the Shenxian County Brigade respectively, and only Zhaozhuang defended the enemy and fled in the direction of Liaocheng.

So far, the whole territory of Shen County has been liberated.

In the liberation of Shen County, our army captured 1 enemy mortar, 12 light machine guns, more than 1,000 rifles, more than 100 short guns, more than 10 grenadiers, more than 300 mortar shells, more than 600 grenadier shells, and 500,000 rifle bullets. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers below were captured as the puppet county magistrate and security commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, district chief, treasury director and below.

Liu Xianzhou himself was educated, said that he would not do anything negative to the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army and the Chinese people in the future, and was released with the approval of the military region, and then went to Jinan and Jining to do business, and died in Baoji in the early 50s.

The sky in Shen County has already dawned, and the morning light has painted the entire Shen County in red, and the entire county is bathed in light. Zhao Jianmin followed the troops into the city, and together with Han Xing and other commanders, they climbed the ancient tower.

Standing on the ancient tower and overlooking the whole city, I saw that the smoke of gunpowder was not dissipated, the mist was misty, the streets and alleys were strange, criss-crossed, the official houses and private houses were lined up one after another, the city walls were thick, and the fortifications and bunkers were one after another.

Zhao Jianmin said with a sigh: "Shen County is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Han Xing let out a long sigh, and then said, "If it weren't for Commander Zhao's dictatorship, he attacked Shen County tonight and missed this opportunity, how many more people would have died!" ”

Zhao Jianmin smiled: "That's not thanks to your strong expression of your own opinions, and the head of the military region gave us the power to flexibly control the attack." Listening to your words, how can it seem like I am the credit of one person, this is the wisdom of the collective! ”

Han Xing argued: "No matter what you say, we have a thousand people in the Seventh Division, and there is only one person in charge, and you still have the final say." ”

At this time, the correspondent came to report that he had found a large amount of wheat hoarded in the granary, which amounted to several million catties.

Zhao Jianmin scolded: "This Liu Xianzhou is really cunning, in the year of the catastrophe, he actually robbed so much grain, and he couldn't complain and boasted that it would not be a problem to be able to independently hold Shen County for a year." ”

Han Xing said: "This is a good thing, but it is also a difficult thing, so much food, it is a lot of work to transport it!" Otherwise, as soon as the devils from Liaocheng, Yanggu, and Guanxian came, they would become theirs again. ”

Zhao Jianmin frowned slightly: "It would be good if the special office was notified in advance to come to the big car, but it was too late to notify, and it was too late to ship." ”

"There is only one way," Han said, "to open the warehouse gate and mobilize the masses to let the people in and around the city raid this batch of wheat." ”

"That's right! That's it. Zhao Jianmin immediately notified the local comrades and quickly rushed out the batch of wheat.

"There is another big matter," Han Xing said to Zhao Jianmin, "such a strong city, do we defend it?" If you keep it, it's another matter, if you don't defend it, the enemy will come, and it will become a golden city soup pool. ”

Zhao Jianmin smiled and said humorously: "Fighting positional warfare with devils, we won't fight with them, or fight our guerrilla warfare." The walls must be ripped off! ”

Han Xing said: "If you pick up the city wall, I suggest that whoever picks up the bricks will be everyone's." These bricks originally belonged to the common people, which also called them from the people and back to the people. ”

Zhao Jianmin nodded and said, "It's up to you." ”

As a result, the local governments urgently notified the cadres of all districts to lead the militia to transport grain and break the city. For a time, the county town of Shen was very lively, and the peasants of the four collars and eight townships carried cloth bags full of grain, coming and going in a hurry. On the city wall, more than 4,000 militiamen sweated like rain and carried out emergency reportation of the city.

The enemy is not willing to fail, Liaocheng Japanese puppet army after just a few days of preparation, appointed Li Haiquan as the puppet county magistrate, on August 8, Li Haiquan led a regiment of Liaocheng security team and the puppet army that escaped when liberating Shen County, a total of more than 1,000 people, with the support of a large number of Japanese troops, made a comeback, reoccupied Shen County.

At this time, in Shen County, the Eighth Route Army had already withdrawn, and according to the orders of the military division, it did not fight a positional war with them at all.

This Li Haiquan, who was originally the construction section chief of the puppet county government, a native of Tai'an, and a close confidant of Liu Xianzhou, escaped when Shen County was liberated. The fox who really slipped through the net is more ruthless than the wolf, this Li Haiquan is fierce and cruel, compared to Liu Xianzhou, it is even better.

After occupying Shen County, Li Haiquan set up strongholds in Baima Temple and Gaomiao in the north of the city, Yangzhuang in the southwest of the city, Shilijing in the south of the city, and Zhaozhuang in the east of the city, and constantly sent puppet troops out of the city to loot and sweep, arrest the families of anti-Japanese personnel, and brutalize the anti-Japanese masses. In the city, we frantically searched for and tortured residents who had been in contact with my internal staff.

They tied up more than 10 people, including Hao Daochang and Wang Qixian, who had some relationship with our insiders, and Guo Laoer, who had carried grain across the city wall in Hedian, to a ladder outside the city as targets, and ordered the puppet army to shoot with machine guns on the city wall.

Li Haiquan also forcibly conscripted people's husbands, brought their own rations, repaired and strengthened the city wall, and armed soldiers drove the common people away, working from morning to night, and the slightest slack was a severe beating. The entire city of Shen County was shrouded in terror, and the nearby countryside was once again devastated.

The enemy's ** does not indicate their strength, but rather a sign of weakness. The enemy's scope of activity could only be confined to the county seat and its vicinity, and the wider area was firmly controlled by the anti-Japanese army and people. The full mobilization of the masses, the strengthening of anti-Japanese organizations from all walks of life in the workers, peasants, youths, and women's circles, the consolidation of the armed forces and militia in the counties and districts, and the enhancement of combat effectiveness have exerted strong military and political pressure on the enemies in Shen County.

The Shenxian County Party Committee dispatched a large number of cadres and activists from the base areas to go deep into the new area to lead the masses in waging the struggle against rent and interest reductions and against traitors and hegemony, to establish and consolidate party organizations, to establish anti-Japanese mass organizations, to defend themselves with arms, and to suppress and crack down on the looting of Li Haiquan's bandits.

Under the circumstance that the main force of the sub-division rushed to Guanxian County to open up Guanbei, the Xinchao County Brigade and the Nanfeng County Brigade independently undertook the task of attacking the defending enemy in Shen County. Fan Yongtang, Zhao Jinshen, and other Communist Party members, who made important contributions to the liberation of Shen County, led the insiders and some of the rebels and puppet troops they contacted to form the Nanfeng County No. 2 Squadron, which further enhanced the combat effectiveness of the local armed forces.
