Chapter 875: The Battle of Lunan (8)

In the thirties, the county seat of Feixian County, just like Liu Yimin set up the city wall when he set up the battle,

Four city gates, 12 streets and Shuangjingkou Lane, Liujiahou Lane, Yulu Lane, Weijia Lane, Wenchang Gong Lane, Pickling Water Lane, Kuixingge Lane and many other lovely alleys with many names are still the pattern of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but there are two more two-story buildings of the temple library and the Catholic Church

Liu Yimin's is only the outer city, and this Philadelphia county is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The outline of the outer city is the earthen city wall, and there are stone bridges over the Wenliang River outside the north gate, west gate and south gate to communicate traffic. Out of the east gate, far away can be light Linyi, near can reach the Ku River, there is Lu Gong Temple on the other side of the Ku River. Between the east gate and the south gate, there is a southeast gate. Among them, there is the Eight Wax Temple by the Wenliang River outside the West Gate, and there is the Sheji Altar by the Wenliang River between the West Gate and the North Gate. Between the west gate and the south gate, there is a fire temple. The fire temple has a connection with the outside of the city. Unfortunately, these buildings were blown up when the Japanese army occupied Fei County.

There is a moat outside the outer city wall, and there is a horse race track inside, which goes around the city wall.

The main buildings of the outer city are concentrated between the south gate and the south gate of the inner city, and there is a north-south Muzeng Street connecting the south gate of the outer city and the south gate of the inner city. Muzeng Street means to admire Zengzi. The west side of Muzeng Street is mainly residential buildings, and the east side is the cultural and educational holy place of Fei County.

Shrines and other buildings.

After the founding of the Republic of China, due to the influence of the May Fourth Movement and the smashing of Confucius's shop, all parts of the country stopped worshipping Confucius, and the Confucian Temple became an arrangement, and gradually declined. This Shandong ground is the hometown of the Confucian saints, and the wind of respecting Confucius and sacrificing Confucius is still prevalent. The Confucian Temple in Fei County only stopped sacrificing holes for a short time in the early years of the Republic of China, and established a Christmas party in the third year of the Republic of China and resumed the activities of sacrificing holes. Every year on the birthday of Confucius in August of the lunar calendar, there are cultural and educational institutions to sponsor and the administrative seat to preside. Gentry, scholars, government employees, teachers, and students all joined. At the beginning of the ceremony, the visitors stood solemnly in two houses, and each of the two corridors placed a firewood lamp, about five feet high, as big as a bucket containing dry firewood, poured grease, and then lit. There are whole pigs and whole sheep on the sacrificial table, and everyone sings the ode to Confucius in unison: "Ink wind and European rain, the world civilization is the main Yadong." Civilized China, Chinese civilization, eternal respect for my Kong.

Tonight and night to Christmas, my generation is known for manpower. Wherever the boat goes, it is all slack.

The first teacher has a holy life, and the blessings are endless. "After the ceremony, the sacrificial animals are distributed by the cultural and educational institutions.

Today is the day of the sacrifice to Confucius, but unfortunately since the devils invaded and occupied Lunan, the sacrificial activities have not stopped. The Huanghuang Confucian Temple turned out to be the location of the Han Jiān educational institution that carried out slave education in the Japanese puppet.

The inner city of Fei County also has four gates: east, south, west, and north. In the city, the north and south Zhanmen G Street, Xiange Street as the axis, the west side is Wenchang Temple, Academy, Chenglu Temple, Tianqi Temple a group of buildings, the east side is Zhaozhong Temple. The south of Zhaozhong Temple is Hongren Lane, Hongren Lane, Zhanmen G Street East is the administrative center of Laofei County, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was the county government, the arrest office, the military camp, the Yixue, the Guandi Temple, after the Republic of China, it was changed to the county government, the police station, the barracks, the school, only the Emperor Temple is still solid, but at this time it also became the barracks of the Japanese army.

The inner city connects the east gate with Dongzhou Street and connects the west gate with Zonglu Street, and the two streets are asymmetrical, Zonglu Street is north and Dongzhou Street is south. To the south of Zonglu Street and Dongzhou Street are commercial streets and households.

That night, the ancient county town of Philadelphia was transmuted under artillery fire.

In siege battles, the biggest casualties of the attacking side come from the siege and defense of the city wall before the city is breached. Because the defending side can kill and injure the enemy in large numbers according to the fortifications of the city wall. Therefore, Liu Yimin ordered to concentrate artillery fire to destroy the city wall of Fei County, the purpose of which was to reduce the casualties of the army and quickly break the city.

After arriving at Feixian County, the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored regiment and the armored vehicles of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the armored regiment spread out around the city wall, and all the tank guns and machine guns on the drought-loading vehicles opened fire on the city wall that had been blown up by the artillery group, suppressing the fire of the devils and covering the army to seize the city.

The Devil's garrison army had only two infantry squadrons and two heavy battalions, and they hurriedly rushed to the city wall to catch up with the shells of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army.

The city walls around the east gate and the south gate are still intact, and they can also be used as positions. Around the West Gate,

The outer and inner city walls around the north gate have been destroyed by the Second Field Artillery Regiment and the Mountain Artillery Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The artillery group of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, and the artillery fire was so powerful that I had never seen the rebuilt 10th Division, and many people were torn to pieces by shrapnel before they could lie down. Those who were not torn to shreds either fused with the earth of the collapsed walls or were blown unconscious. The devil who is lucky not to die and has not fainted is also brave, and he will fight with spearmen and soldiers, but what can that help? The second round of assault of the armored army of the Eighth Route Army has arrived again, this time it is a close-range shot, and the hit is accurate! If any devil dares to shoot and resist, send him to the western sky!

When Zhang Guangming, the commander of the first company, and Chen Hu, the instructor, led the soldiers to attack the west gate, the troops of the New Fourth Brigade who came down from Zhongluo Mountain crossed the stone bridge at the north gate of the Wenliang River, crossed the dry moat, and attacked from the north gate. The warriors shouted and pounced on the city fortifications of the devils. Then the troops divided into several roads, all the way along the racetrack to the east to pursue, all the way along the racetrack to the west, all the way into the inner city of Zhanmen G Street, to the Japanese army guarded Zhaozhong Temple, Wenchang Temple, Academy, Tianqi Temple, the old county office, police station, military camp, Guandi Temple, Yixue attack. The New Eighth Brigade commanded by Zhao Jie attacked from the South Gate and the Fire Temple, and the troops were also divided into several routes, all the way along Muzeng Street to the south gate of the inner city, along Xiange Street to the north, and the New Fourth Brigade army to attack the Japanese headquarters and other key points. All the way along the Rulin Lane to capture the Confucian Temple, Chongsheng Temple, and Festival Ancestral Hall.

The New Fourth Brigade and the New Eighth Brigade moved quickly, and the First Brigade moved faster. In particular, the battalion equipped with all the Bayi automatic rifles, Bayi machine guns, rocket launchers, and infantry guns, after entering the city, the hungry tigers preyed on the general, and the powerful firepower advantage made those devils who survived the shelling eager to hold the explosives bag and fight hard. The main force of the 1st Sect, the 2nd Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment that followed behind the 1st Battalion all entered the city.

The three main brigades of the Eighth Route Army suddenly poured into the county town of Fei, and even if they stepped on it, they trampled the devils into pulp.

The headquarters of Fan Zhaoshou was set up in the county government, that is, the old county yali.

When the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army opened fire, the glasses of the rice edict were shocked and fell to the ground. At this time, Fan Zhaoshou knew why the instructor of the Eighth Route Army had such a great reputation, and the cannons produced by the Japanese Empire were all given to the Eighth Route Army to bomb the positions of the Imperial Army.

That's it, Fan Zhaoshou still didn't give up, because he knew that the artillery was not too late to occupy the city, and only the infantry could occupy the city if it broke the city.

Fan Zhaoshou was too superstitious about the Japanese soldiers' stabbing skills and shooting skills, thinking that when the Eighth Route Army attacked the city, "with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, how could it be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army several times." As long as the defending army can withstand the two attacks of the Eighth Route Army, the main force of his 10th Division can rush back from the front line of Wansong Mountain. The Eighth Route Army had artillery, and he also had it. The Eighth Route Army had tanks and armored vehicles, and he even had. As long as the main force of the division and regiment rushes back, it is possible to attack the "Fan Zhao Shou Believe" behind the siege army of the Eighth Route Army and defeat the Eighth Route Army. At the very least, you can tear a hole and take care of yourself and withdraw to Yixian. The worst and worst result is to retract the county town of Fei and defend it on the spot. Fan Zhaoshou believed that the Eighth Route Army would not be able to fire at the county seat of Feixian County, but there was an old man stationed in the city, which was his talisman. As long as the main force and the Eighth Route Army started a street battle in the city, Fan Zhaoshou knew that the Eighth Route Army would take him as an example. As soon as the air fleet arrived at dawn, the Eighth Route Army had to retreat obediently.

It is precisely because of this idea that "the fighting outside was hot, and the artillery fire turned the sky red, but Fan Zhaoshou still stayed in the headquarters and sent a report to the commander of the 12th Army, Iida Zhenggu, unhurriedly, saying that the county seat of Feixian County had been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and he had ordered the main force of the division to retreat from the line of Wansong Mountain and return to the county seat."

Iida Sadagu has been busy directing various armies to fight in the past two days, so he simply set up a marching bed in the war room of the headquarters, and ate and drank in the war room.

After receiving the account of Ieda Mamoru, Iida Sadagu and the chief adviser Hayashi Asaburo were both surprised. Iida Sadagu also ran to the map to look at it, and 1 Brinshin Asaburo even looked at the map and abandoned the province, and directly said: "Your Excellency Commander, the 10th Division is finished, and Lieutenant General Izuru is finished." Hurry up and tell the Commander of the Front Army, His Excellency Jun Tada, and the Commander of the Shina Dispatch Army, His Excellency General Nishio Toshizo! ”

Lin Qianzaburo experienced the Eighth Route Army's breakthrough of Jinan City last time, "In the end, he finally escaped with makeup, and he felt palpitations when he mentioned the artillery fire of the main force of the instructor." Iedumhiro's telegram was just a few words: "1. Hiroshi Asaburo saw the crisis in it. This guy deserves to be the chief adviser of the Japanese army that invaded China later, and his vision is also quite poisonous.

Iida Sadagu was not as discouraged as Hayashi Saburo, and asked rhetorically, "What if the Eighth Route Army feints to attack Fei County, and responds to Yu Xuezhong's department to break through at night?" Lin Jun, come and see, Yu Xuezhong's department is now white in the area of Wansong Mountain, and there is water on three sides. This is the place of death and the Jedi in the eyes of the soldiers. If there is no army to meet them, I can judge that they will only need to cover their breakout tonight. Tomorrow morning, the 10th Division will be completely annihilated by Xuezhong's troops and win another major victory in the North China Battlefield since the end of the Battle of Xuzhou. ”

The military situation is like fire, and great changes can occur in a moment. 1 Brin's voice also became louder: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have been fooled! The thing is already very clear. Liu Yimin just wanted to use the Xuezhong Department as bait to catch the big fish of the main force of the 10th Division. Look, Liu Yimin is firing everywhere, what is the purpose of the operation? Originally, we judged that he was going to capture Jinan, but now it seems that his purpose is the 10th Division, which is Lunan. ”

Iida Sadagu also worked all the way up from a trainee second lieutenant, and also served as the commander of the Guards Division, which was envied by everyone in the Japanese army, and he had a lot of actual combat experience. Hearing Lin Qianzaburo's exactness, Iida Zhengu frowned, and immediately said: "Chief Advisor, send a report to Lieutenant General Ichiosho and ask if the Eighth Route Army used artillery to attack the county seat of Fei County?" Also, did you use armored forces? If it is used, it will be a trap set by the Eighth Route Army to destroy the 10th Division. If not, it is an attempt by the Eighth Route Army to break through with Yu Xuezhong's department. ”

Lin Qianzaburo thought about it, it is indeed this matter, Your Excellency the Commander is worthy of His Excellency the Commander, and this style is worth trying.

Lin Qianzaburo immediately ordered the operational adviser to send a report to Fan Zhaoshou to inquire about the battle situation and the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

What Iida Sadagu and Hayashi Asaburo didn't expect was that while the two of them were discussing, Zhang Guangming, the commander of the 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment, 1st Battalion, and 1st Company of the Eighth Route Army, had already led the soldiers to rush to the headquarters of the Rice Zhaoshou to fight.

The first battalion and the special combat team have cooperated in operations more often and for a longer time. Now that the special combat team has been sent to cooperate with the cavalry brigade in attacking the county seat of Zhanyi County, Zaozhuang County, and Tengxian County, Liu Yimin has used the Jiaoyi Battalion as a special combat team. Before the army took action, Liu Yimin deliberately called Wang Dahu, commander of the 1st Regiment, Li Shanzhu, commander of the 1st Battalion, and Zhang Guangming, commander of the 1st Battalion, and told them that after the city was broken, the 1st Battalion would not be entangled with the Japanese troops defending the city, but would go straight to the Japanese headquarters, control the radio of the Japanese headquarters at the first time, and use the Japanese radio to direct and mobilize the Japanese troops. Liu Yimin also deliberately asked He Xinghua to move with the first battalion, hoping that after controlling the Japanese army's radio station, the battle would be bigger and the results would be more fruitful.

Therefore, after Zhang Guangming and Xu Hu led a company to enter the city from the West Gate, they rushed towards the county government through Zonglu Street. Li Shanzhu commanded the 2nd Company, 3rd Company, and Fire Support Company to follow behind them, clearing out the remnants of the enemy all the way and providing them with fire cover.

Originally, according to the normal arrangement of troops, Fan Zhaoshou should have left enough military strength on the inner city wall to prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through the inner city after breaking through the outer city. However, the attack of the Eighth Route Army came too suddenly, and the inner and outer city walls around the West Gate were ravaged by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. These devils arrived at the outer city wall and were completely destroyed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army. In this way, there are not many devils left in the inner city of Fei County.

When Zhang Guangming rushed to the old county office, the guards of the Fan Zhao Command Headquarters opened fire. The devils piled up a machine gun bunker with sandbags at the entrance of the county office, and machine guns were also set up on the roof, covering the army's way with a rain of bullets. Zhang Guangming shouted anxiously: "Bazooka, give Lao Tzu the machine gun of the lost devil!" ”

As soon as Zhang Guangming's words fell, a bazooka group of the first company opened fire. The rocket, dragging its bright tail, swooped down on the roof where the devil's machine gun was, and with a bang, the entire roof was lifted into the air. Immediately afterwards, another bazooka group opened fire on the machine-gun bunker at the gate of the county government, and a rocket fired, not only losing the devil's machine-gun position, but also blowing up the wall behind the bunker. Immediately afterwards, the machine guns and grenadiers of the fire support platoon of the first company were taught to establish a position and beat up the devils who climbed the wall and shot at the outside. At this point, Zhang Guangming was still not satisfied, and pointed to the wall of the old county government and ordered the bazooka group to continue firing and completely destroy the wall.

The regimental headquarters of the 10th Division has a strength of 330 people, including a guard squadron. When Fan Zhao was guarding the reinforcement of Fei County, he left the division headquarters in the county seat of Yi County, and only brought the radio station, two advisers, and two guards with him. He never thought that the Eighth Route Army would be able to break through the city so quickly, and it would be too late to increase the number of troops to defend his headquarters. Besides, he has no troops to adjust now.

When the sound of gunshots and shouts was remembered in the inner city, the meal was already panicked. This old devil, while giving a hoarse order to speed up the main force and quickly return to help, panicked and ordered the accompanying advisers to command the guards to defend.

Where else can it be in time!

As soon as the bazooka of the Eighth Route Army was launched, the tallest house in the old county government, that is, the main hall where the headquarters of Fan Zhaoshou was located, collapsed, and Fan Zhaoshou and his advisers and confidential personnel were buried in the rubble. By the time Fan Zhaoshou crawled out of the ruins with his face covered in blood, he was already in front of him with the muzzle of Zhang Guangming's black hole.

Zhang Guangming opened his Japanese level and used Japanese: "Raise your hands, you're captured!" ”

Fan Zhaoshou was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to be eight checks, and then pounced on Zhang Guangming to grab the gun in Zhang Guangming's hand.

Although the epaulettes on Fan Zhaoshou's shoulders were fascinated by dust, Zhang Guangming could still tell from his age that this guy was a big official. However, there are more devil officials who died at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and there are not many of these guys.

Zhang Guangming didn't think about it, he directly pulled the trigger, and the bullet went into Fan Zhaoshou's chest, knocking Fan Zhaoshou on his back.

He Xinghua was busy pulling the devil radio station and code book from the ruins, Zhang Guangming and they didn't have time to help him, so they left him a squad of soldiers to help him find it, and then turned around and went out of the city to meet the main force of the 10th Division.

The Devil's Command was lost, marking that the county seat of Feixian County had returned to the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In the city, only the 1st Brigade, the New 4th Brigade, and the New 8th Brigade left the army to search for the remnants of the enemy in the city, and set off firecrackers everywhere around the city wall.

took the county seat of Fei County so quickly, and Ming Liu Yimin counted the devil to death. It's not Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong, it's the consultants who are busy around them.

The confidential officers and signal soldiers all had smiles on their faces.

Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong stood at Li Chang's command position.

At this time, the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Chang had already turned, and the muzzle of the black hole was raised high, pointing obliquely at the target of the main force of the devils.

Liu Yimin ordered in a deep voice: "Zhu Zhexiao, notify the Second Field Artillery Regiment and the Mountain Artillery Regiment to open artillery bombardment, and run away from the devils!" ”

Zhu Zhexiao shouted "yes" loudly and went to send a report.

The Eighth Route Army's attack on the county seat of Feixian was too fast, so fast that Yu Xuezhong and others, who were observing the battlefield on Wansong Mountain, could not react. When Liu Yimin's order came, and the Second Field Artillery Regiment and Mountain Artillery Regiment, which were forced by the devils to constantly move in concealment, roared at the same time, Yu Xuezhong had not reacted from his surprise, and was still muttering to himself: "You entered Feixian County so soon?" ”@
