Chapter 360: Sweeping Southeast Lu (3)

Not long after Mo Zhengmin's order was issued, the people sent by the various teams to report the news arrived, and as soon as he touched the situation, Mo Zhengmin knew that the devils surrounded him.

This Mo Zhengmin went to Zhang Zongchang's department to serve as a soldier at the age of 16, and he still has combat experience. He knew that his troops had just been pulled up, and they couldn't withstand the attack of the devils and the puppet army at all, and the top priority was to break through the encirclement as soon as possible, if it was too late, the troops might be scattered. To the east of this Xiazhuang town is the Shu River, and at this time, the spring water flows crosswise, which has become an obstacle to the eastward movement of the troops. To the north is the devil and the puppet army Zhang Buyun from Ju County, and to the south is the puppet army Liu Guitang, and there is only one way to break through to Yishui County to the west.

Determined to make up his mind, Mo Zhengmin called Wang Dongnian and Wang Naizheng to explain the plan to break through to Yishui, and then ordered Wang Dongnian to go to a large team living in the area of Maojiayan west of Xiazhuang, command a large team to control the road to Yishui, and lead the main force to withdraw from the position immediately, and then follow up.

Although Mo Zhengmin has combat experience, it does not mean that his command level is also high. To put it bluntly, he is just a company commander in China's most rubbish army, and he fights with his own experience, and if he encounters hard stubble, his experience will not be enough. And Wang Dongnian and Wang Naizheng are both enthusiastic political and propaganda cadres, and their experience in leading troops to fight is equal to 0, if they are military cadres, they will not cooperate with Mo Zhengmin, so they will pull the team and do it with the army.

If the commander of the Eighth Route Army or the [***] regular army were here, I am afraid that this arrangement would not have been made. Because this is a force of 5,000 people, not a small guerrilla force of dozens of people, you can run away with a drill into the ravine. Only by concentrating the main forces to repel the enemy's attack and stabilizing the defensive line can we alternately cover the retreat. And it is extremely dangerous to rashly choose to retreat to the west, saying that the army is not Guawa, how can you not know that Mo Zhengmin's department may retreat westward? You must know that Major General Tsuchiya Bingma graduated from the Army University, and this kind of tactical problem is something that is stinky in class. In addition, Liu Guitang and Zhang Buyun are both bandits, and they have the most experience in, how can they not guard against Mo Zhengmin's hand?

Seeing that Wang Dongnian and Wang Naizheng went out to carry out the order, Mo Zhengmin thought about this retreat, maybe he was going to run away, and hurriedly taught the guards to bring cigarette lamps, lay down on the bed and took two puffs, and then got up and got out of bed, carried a pistol and led the guards out of the courtyard.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, Mo Zhengmin was stupid, there were already guns and cannons around Xiazhuang, his troops had all collapsed, the fields were full of chaotic stragglers, there were constantly shells exploding in the rout, and dust had been raised behind the stragglers, needless to say, it was the devil's car and the puppet army's horse team in pursuit.

Mo Zhengmin fired a few shots into the sky, trying to curb the pace of the rout of the troops, but unfortunately there were too many people, and a few pistol shots were completely covered by the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer around, not to mention blocking the rout, even Mo Zhengmin and his guards were coerced and ran away to the west.

Major General Tsuchiya soldiers and horses, who was riding on a war horse to watch the battle, saw that Mo Zhengmin's troops had collapsed, his eyes were full of smiles, he controlled the horse with one hand, touched the mustache with the other, and shouted Yo Xi, Yo Xi!

The chief of staff reminded: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the guerrillas have collapsed, and it is time to order the net to be closed!" ”

Major General Tsuchiya Bingma was smug in his heart at this time, where is this army, it is purely a group of peasants who have just put down their hoes, and they don't even know that they know to leave the troops to cover, and they are fleeing for their lives, exposing all their backs to the guns of the imperial army. If China had such troops, the destruction of China would have been achieved in three months. It's a pity that the regular army of China and the legendary Eighth Route Army are not like this!

Hearing the reminder of the chief of staff, Major General Tsuchiya nodded, drew his sword, pointed to the west of Xiazhuang, and ordered the troops to attack in an all-round way.

The devils launched on this whole front, and Mo Zhengmin, who was running away, found that sure enough, there were devils in the north and puppet troops in the south, and they were squeezing their troops in the north and south. Now it seems that only by constantly running westward can we get rid of the devil.

It's a pity that Mo Zhengmin underestimated the devil too much. At this time, more than 5,000 people in Zhang Buyun's department, under the command of the advisers of the army, had arranged an ambush circle at the junction of Yishui and Juxian, with their guns loaded and knives unsheathed, and they were waiting for Mo Zhengmin's breakthrough troops with murderous spirits!

This Zhang Buyun is a native of Gaomi Dashuangmiao Village, literate and hyphenated, became a bandit in the village at the age of 17, and later ran to Zhang Zongchang's department as a soldier. After Zhang Zongchang failed, he went to Qingdao and became a squad leader in Shen Honglie's Marine Corps. Later, he disliked the official and small, and ran back to his hometown to run a joint village meeting, and did some things to crack down on small bandits, inviting people to buy people's hearts, and it was best to get Han Fuqu's trust because of the booby trap Song Huanjin, who was a bandit with him, and found a backer, step by step. After the 77 Incident, he was named a major general guerrilla commander by Han Fuqu, and after a few shots in Lubei, he ran back to his hometown with his subordinates. Then, in the name of resisting the Japanese government, they made money, guns, and captured soldiers to expand the ranks. After Han Fuqu was killed, Zhang Buyun even shouted crazy words to avenge Han Fuqu. This guy is particularly politically ambitious, and he wants to be the chairman of Shandong Province, and his name was changed by himself, which means to rise to the top.

After the devils captured Zhucheng County, Zhang Buyun surrendered to Yue Kou under the mediation of Zhao Qingshan of the Han Dynasty and incorporated into Zhang Zongyuan's Shandong Autonomous Coalition Army, weapons and ammunition were replenished, and the team expanded faster, with 5,000 people organized into two regiments, a special battalion and four mortars.

In the era of warlord hegemony, there was no justice to speak of. Zhang Buyun is ruthless and scheming with his heart, and he has gradually become a climate. Not only has the team expanded, the territory has expanded, and even the aunt's wife has engaged in eight, and there is also an anonymous aunt wife who has not been married. It's a pity that these aunts and wives are all daughters of big families in Gaomi and Zhucheng, and they are all top people who go to school and read and write, and they are all occupied by this bandit.

Zhang Buyun, who has a good gun, a good horse, and a good woman, is also a person with a strong sense of revenge, and the people who cleaned him up when he was a little bandit were all retaliated against by him, and they were often cut down and eradicated. Originally, after bandits like him surrendered to devils, they were all in order to exchange military salaries and weapons and equipment, and seize territory, and it was generally difficult for devils to mobilize. However, as soon as he heard that he was going to fight Mo Zhengmin's department, Zhang Buyun was energetic, because Mo Zhengmin was his spy company commander, and he was unwilling to surrender with him, so he ran back to pull the team by himself. In Zhang Buyun's view, this is not to give him face. He had to get back this face.

At this moment, Zhang Buyun was standing in the temporary headquarters, holding a telescope in his hand, with a sinister smile on his face, and kept shouting, "Mo Zhengmin, you bastard, come quickly, Lao Tzu's hands are itchy!" ”

After Wang Dongnian and Wang Nai conquered Xiazhuang, they had already found that the other brigades had begun to retreat. The two did not dare to stay, so they hurried all the way to the station of a large group. When I went to the first brigade, the troops had already been alarmed, but this brigade commander knew a little about military affairs, and there was no chaos, and he ordered the whole brigade to control several villages in the garrison and prepare for battle.

Wang Dongnian conveyed Mo Zhengmin's order to ask a large group to take the lead in breaking through the encirclement, but unfortunately, before a large group could move, the rout troops swarmed in, spread over a large group of garrisons, and headed west. I remember Wang Dongnian jumping to his feet and scolding, but what's the use of scolding?

finally found Mo Zhengmin who was trapped in the chaos, and several people were helpless. Seeing that the puppet army was coming from three sides, Mo Zhengmin finally got the hang of it at this time, and hurriedly ordered a large team to hold on to the spot, block the enemy, and cover the retreat of the troops.

Wang Dongnian, Wang Naizheng and a large team of captains went to deploy for battle, and Mo Zhengmin led a few guards to chase the troops, when fierce gunfire came from the west. After a short time, the rebels turned around and retreated. Mo Zhengmin climbed to the roof and saw that behind his rout, a line of black pressure pressed over. Only then did Mo Zhengmin know that the west was a trap. Looking at the east, south, and north directions, the Yue army and the puppet army have all pressed up, and they will soon have to make dumplings for their troops.

If you look closely, you can see that all the soldiers who ran fast just now have fallen under the enemy's guns, and those who turned back kept falling to the ground. He knew that the general trend had gone, and because of his paralysis, the devil's sneak attack was successful, and these poor untrained Ludongnan disciples were about to be buried in their own mistakes.

At this time, the Mo Zhengmin Department was still a real anti-Japanese army, and the soldiers were basically the children of peasant families in Yuezhao County and Ju County, and most of them joined the army under the call of the underground party organizations in Yuezhao and Ju County. Historically, Mo Zhengmin took this unit to be incorporated into the Gao Shuxun Department and went to northwest Shandong to fight guerrillas. After Mo Zhengmin expelled the [***] people in the army, this army was completely under his orders. Later, Mo Zhengmin was trapped in the battle with the Eighth Route Army and wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, but the condition offered by the Eighth Route Army was that he must be disarmed and reorganized. Mo Zhengmin then led the troops to break away from Gao Shuxun's department and return to Lunan, at that time, Gao Shuxun's troops wanted to pursue him, and the Eighth Route Army asked him to disarm, Mo Zhengmin was in a dilemma and surrendered on the way back to Lunan. The army then sent him to Yanzhou under house arrest, and sent all the soldiers in his department to work as laborers. Later, Mo Zhengmin agreed to his own conditions, returned to his hometown to organize the [***] self-defense group, and after pulling up 1,000 people, he took refuge in Yu Xuezhong's department. Xu Shusheng, the magistrate of Juxian County of the Kuomintang, was preparing to surrender to the Yue army, and wanted to take Mo Zhengmin's ministry as a greeting gift, and wanted to unite with the Yue army to eliminate him. Mo Zhengmin was angry, so he surrendered to Yukou first and became a real puppet army until our army launched the Juxian Campaign.

Seeing that the enemy had closed the net on all sides, Mo Zhengmin, who knew that the catastrophe was coming, calmed down, and ordered a large team to defend to the death, and he took the guard troops who were still by his side to contain the troops, wanting to gather the troops and resist on the spot.

Seeing that Yu'er was completely in the net, Major General Tuwu knew that the great achievement was about to be completed, so he asked the flag soldiers to send a signal, organized artillery fire to bombard the positions of the defenders on the front line of Maojiayan, and ordered Zhang Buyun and Liu Guitang to close the net, and he took the main force of the devil to press directly on Maojiayan.

Liu Guitang is the famous bandit Liu Heiqi in Shandong. If Zhang Buyun is a bandit and a bastard, then Liu Heiqi is a bandit and a miscellaneous, he has done countless evils in his life, and he slaughters the village at every turn. As for those ordinary things like killing people and overstepping goods, kidnapping tickets, and forcibly annihilating people, Liu Hei's Seven Bandits Gang can't count them. Not to mention anything else, in terms of attitude towards women, Zhang Buyun is greedy and lustful at best, although he has eight aunts, and most of them are coerced and lured to marry. But no matter what, there is still a word "marry". Liu Heiqi is the devil in the sex, the woman fell into his hands, not even the comfort women of the army, even the woman he favored, and at the moment of crisis, he would be shot a few times and his brain burst. Therefore, Liu Yimin, who was familiar with Liu Heiqi's history in later generations, gave Hong Chaoyuan an order to completely eliminate Liu Heiqi's gang and kill Liu Heiqi himself. Moreover, it is stated that our army is not allowed to recruit a single bandit from Liu Heiqi's gang to join the army, and all those who commit the most heinous crimes will be shot, and those who commit less serious crimes will be escorted to the logistics base to serve hard labor. It is equivalent to sentencing Liu Hei's seven bandits to death as a whole.

Of course, Liu Heiqi didn't know Liu Yimin's order, at this time he was riding on a horse, wearing a military uniform of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and commanding his bandits to besiege Mo Zhengmin's troops.

The reason why Liu Heiqi was so excited made sense, back then, Han Fuqu concentrated his forces to eliminate him, and basically wiped out his bandits, and he had to run to the concession in Tianjin alone to mingle. Han Fuqu didn't let him go, and sent people to the concession to assassinate him, but although he was shot several times and four of his front teeth were knocked out, he strangely saved a dog's life.

During the North China Incident, Liu Heiqi's vicious dog smelled the stinking feces heap, and immediately found that the opportunity to make a comeback in Dongshan had arrived, and he changed his body from a habitual bandit to a Han annihilation, organized bandits to respond to the army, and went to Luandong for trouble, and then went south to Baoding and Shijiazhuang, and was attacked by Song Zheyuan and Shang Zhen, and Liu Heiqi took refuge in Tianjin again. In the spring of 1937, Liu Hei's Seven Bandits Department was organized as the "Han Righteous Army" by the Yue Ben spies, and cooperated with the Yue Army to attack Suiyuan. Finally waited for the Lugou Bridge Incident, Liu Heiqi finally returned to Shandong with the army, pulled up 3,000 bandits, and was appointed by the army as the commander of the advance of the imperial army. Yue Jun was also worried about his capriciousness and did not trust him very much. Liu Heiqi came up with a plan, paid for an old lady, dressed up as a fuck, and gave it to Yue Jun as a hostage. Yue Jun only knew that Liu Heiqi was extremely filial to his mother, how could he know that this was a fake, so he replenished his weapons and ammunition. Of course, the weapons and ammunition of the Yue army were not given for free, and Liu Hei's Seventh Bandit Gang was soon escorted to the Linyi battlefield by the 10th Division and fought down. More than 2,000 of the 3,000 people died. Fortunately, Liu Heiqi has been in trouble in the Linyi area for a long time, and people who want to be bandits know that "if you want to make money, you will go to Liu Tuan", "follow the division commander everywhere, and you will not change the county magistrate". This also makes sense, no matter how bad the county magistrate is, can he casually kill people and set fire to sleep with women? Therefore, Liu Heiqi's troops were soon replenished to more than 2,000 people.

At this time, Liu Heiqi was riding on a horse, his small eyes were shining, and he kept shouting and grabbed one for two yuan, killed one for one yuan, and caught Mo Zhengmin, for 5 women plus 500 yuan. While shouting, he thought that this time Mo Zhengmin was dead and had no place to be buried, even if Guanyin Bodhisattva came, he couldn't save him. However, I have to think about what will happen after the elimination of Mo Zhengmin's department, but I can't always mix with myself like this, this person is not easy to mess with, I have to give them the money and food, and I have to salute them every day, when did Lao Tzu suffer this kind of grievance? It's better to do it alone, eat and drink spicy, and the money you can't spend endlessly, that's what I say is my Liu Heiqi!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a sudden change, and fierce gunfire suddenly sounded behind Zhang Buyun's troops in the west, Liu Heiqi was stunned in his heart, could it be that Mo Zhengmin still has a helper?

Liu Heiqi is worthy of Liu Heiqi, that is, he has experience, and he is right when he says it. It is indeed the reinforcements that have arrived, and it is the reinforcements that Zhang Buyun and Liu Heiqi who bandits cannot afford to provoke.

After Hong Chaoyuan issued the order for the offensive in southeastern Shandong, the troops moved quickly, and all the way was like a bamboo, pulling out the small strongholds of the puppet army, and by the way, they packed up all kinds of motley armed forces that were carrying the banner of resistance, practicing extortion, and harming the common people.

Since the fall of Linyi, the ground in the southeast of Shandong has become a pseudo-world, and those Han annihilators have come out one after another, inviting the imperial army to station, set up a maintenance association, and are very busy, where can I think that there is such a powerful main force hidden here. The Fifth Brigade not only stunned the puppet army that divided its troops for defense, but also stunned those guys who sometimes resisted, sometimes harmed the people, and sometimes surrendered. Only the guerrilla forces of all kinds organized by our party rejoiced and guided the main force to advance in a hurry, just as they did during the Chinese New Year, and swept the pseudo-forces of Mengyin and Yishui upside down. In addition to the fact that the county towns of Mengyin and Yishui have not yet been attacked, the vast rural areas of Mengyin and Yishui have all become occupied areas by our army.

At the junction of Yishui and Mengyin, Hong Chaoyuan, who was leading the main force to advance towards Ju County, received a report from the reconnaissance company that Liu Guitang's division of the Imperial Association Army in the direction of Linyi was advancing towards Ju County, and then received a report from the southeastern Lu detachment that Zhang Buyun's division of the Shandong Autonomous Alliance Army in Zhucheng County was advancing towards Ju County.

As soon as Hong Chaoyuan, Hu Xuerong, and Zhang Yicheng analyzed, they felt that the puppet army had made a big move, could it be that they discovered the actions of our army?

Later, Zhang Guangzhong, chief of the First Brigade of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps, reminded that Mo Zhengmin's unit was stationed in the vicinity of Xiazhuang Town in Ju County, and that this unit had the color of our party, and that the puppet army was not going to them.

Hong Chaoyuan immediately realized that the fighter plane had appeared, and if it was done well, it could solve the two largest Han annihilation forces in southeast Shandong and the Yue army in Juxian County in one battle.

Hong Chaoyuan immediately ordered Zhang Guangzhong to send people to guide the reconnaissance company to reconnoiter in the area around Xiazhuang, and ordered the 15th Regiment in Mengyin and the 14th Regiment in Yishui to leave a company each to monitor the troops in the two county towns, and the main force immediately marched to Ju County, targeting Xiazhuang Town, Ju County. He also sent a report to Wang Nanhu, asking him to immediately lead the southeastern Lu detachment to change its route and advance to the county seat of Juxian, prepare to seize the county seat of Juxian, cut off the retreat of the puppet army in the direction of Xiazhuang, and cooperate with the Fifth Brigade to eliminate the main force of the puppet army in Xiazhuang Town.
