Chapter 912: The Fortified City

On a night when the moon is sparse, a cannibalistic tragedy is being staged under the city of Linyi, an important town in southern Lunan

After Wu Huawen stopped arranging, he asked Zhang Liyuan to cheer up the various armies, which was the pre-war drive often used by the Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Liyuan can be regarded as a brave and knowledgeable and patriotic anti-Japanese man in this era. It's a pity that as soon as something is mixed with the disputes between the KMT and the CCP, it becomes complicated. Zhang Liyuan, who insisted on the anti-Japanese war in southern Lunan and fought with the Japanese invaders, felt full of strength when he thought of the Eighth Route Army's occupation of Linyi to establish political power and the secret order of Chairman Chiang relayed by Zhou Fu. Thinking about it again, this Linyi was originally his third district, since it was occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he could only stay in Xin'an Mountain, and he couldn't even drink the beef grits in Linyi City, let alone listen to Peking Opera and raise money and distribute food, so he didn't fight in one place, he was originally clear-headed on the issue of anti-Japanese resistance, but his mind was full of anger.

Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light.

But so that the master can be drunk, and he does not know where it is!

Zhang Liyuan first shook his head and recited a poem of Li Bai's Guest Zhongxing, and then spoke to his brigade commanders, regiment commanders, detachment commanders and regiment commanders of the New Fourth Division: "Brothers: The Lanling wine mentioned in this poem is produced in our Lanling Town, and these wines should originally belong to us. However, since the Eighth Route Army has always come, Lanling wine does not belong to us. It can't be Lanling wine, let me tell you, in this Linyi City, there are Yuan's Beijing Opera long character class, spring character class, rich character class, and expensive character class, and there are Huangjia chicken grits that we like to drink, Chen Yu raw beef grits, and ingots pot collapsed fish, and good tools have gone to the sea. There is a lot of grain, cloth, cotton, weapons and ammunition in the warehouse of the Eighth Route Army, and even the daughter of Linyi, who grew up drinking the water of the Yi River, is very watery. As long as we occupy Linyi, we can control the entire mountainous area of Lunan and eat fragrant and spicy food, and have what we want. Even if the brothers wanted to sing and dance at Paramount in Shanghai, it was not a difficult task. Just take a boat and go south along the Yi River. Brothers, do you say that you can't take this Linyi city? ”

Zhang Liyuan graduated from the Department of Political Science of Peking University, and has been rolling in officialdom for so many years, and he has a very thorough understanding of people's hearts. What he said was what the brothers wanted, and just by looking at the corners of the brothers' mouths and the loud voices of the majestic ones, you could see that Commander Zhang's agitation was effective.

Wu Huawen has a military background, and the style of the old Northwest Army is also relatively simple, not as many intestines as Zhang Liyuan's stomach, what he said is very practical, that is, the Eighth Route Army has only one battalion of the city defense army, at best only 500 people, plus the cadres and logistics personnel of the Eighth Route Army, there are more than 1,000 people when they are full. Linyi is the rear of the Eighth Route Army, and there are only sentry posts on duty in peacetime, and they never thought that we would suddenly attack Linyi. Moreover, the attack on Linyi was ordered by Chairman Chiang, and the soldiers took obedience as their duty, and we would fight wherever the leader pointed us. The brothers gave up and went to fight, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army was far away from here, and it would take seven or eight hours for the nearest one to return. When they arrive, Linyi City will be ours. When the time comes, Chairman Chiang will order Commander-in-Chief Yu and the Eighth Route Army to rub their tongues and let them watch us hurry.

The battle plan was very clever, the military strength was abundant, the city of Linyi was so tempting, and there was also the order of Chairman Chiang, Zhang Liyuan and the officers of the Wuhua Ministry of Culture could not be excited, and they screamed and led the army to start acting in accordance with the battle.

The first to initiate the attack were naturally the brothers of Simon and Northgate.

The walls were silent, and there was no sign of the defending army. For the sake of peace, the besieging army still carried out fire cover, and the heavy machine guns were erected, and they slammed into the city wall to cover the charge of the brothers.

may really think that the Eighth Route Army did not have much strength to defend the city, and the Wuhua Ministry and Zhang Liyuan, who were responsible for the feint attack at the West Gate and the North Gate, implemented the tactics of crowds as soon as they came up. The brethren carried ladders, shouted, and threw themselves into the moat. As long as you pass the bridge over the moat, you can reach the city gate and city wall, and you can attack the city.

Wang Jiwen climbed on a battlement on the wall of the West Gate, looking at the dense crowd of people under the city, and felt a burst of disdain in his heart, what age is this, and he still uses this method of attacking the city without a tactical level, purely joking with the lives of the soldiers.

Disdain is disdain, Wang Jiwen was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the military strength of Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department to be so huge. Fortunately, he adopted an emergency measure, otherwise, with the military strength of the five battalions and one battalion of the new 14 th Regiment, the weapons are good, and no matter how high the level of technical warfare is, it will not be able to defend it. The circumference of Linyi City is nine miles, and if it is defended by a battalion, there are loopholes everywhere.

Wang Jiwen focused his defense on the West Gate and the North Gate, because the purpose of these two targets was the most direct and convenient attack channel for Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen to attack Linyi. At this moment, he casually watched the enemies swarming from below, waiting for the best time to attack.

Wang Jiwen is not panicking, which does not mean that others are not panicking. Wang Jiwen heard a childish voice next to him shouting with a crying voice: "Teacher, I'm going to!" I heard the teacher shout in a low voice: "Don't be wordy, pull your pants!" ”

Wang Jiwen felt sad for a while, it was all this damn war, fifteen or sixteen-year-old students had to go to the battlefield, they should have studied hard under the lamp at this time!

The soldiers of Zhang Liyuan's department rushed up across the moat with a shout, and Wang Jiwen gave the order to prepare for battle.

Seeing that Zhang Liyuan's soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the West Gate, Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen, who were watching the battle in the rear, were shaking with excitement, because the Eighth Route Army did not shoot. The military strength of a security brigade can blow up the west gate with explosives bags and grenades, or you can use a ladder to climb the city wall and climb it. As long as you rush in, such a huge military force will trample the Eighth Route Army in the city into mud with your feet!

Wu Huawen was a little skeptical and asked Zhang Liyuan if the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn and why the Eighth Route Army defending the city did not shoot.

Zhang Liyuan smiled and said, "Master Wu, I know people very well, they are all a group of elm pimples. I estimate that Wang Hongjiu and the others met the second pole of the Eighth Route Army in the city, and then ordered to shoot. At this moment, perhaps the political commissar of the Eighth Route Army is already investigating who ordered the shooting, which is to sabotage the unity of the War of Resistance, and perhaps the person who ordered the shooting has been arrested. ”

Wu Huawen will be skeptical.

Wu Huawen's doubts soon became a mystery, because Zhang Liyuan's brothers and brothers stepped on the minefield of the Eighth Route Army outside the West Gate.

The Eighth Route Army was too ruthless, explosives bags, iron watermelons, and even porcelain jars and clay pots became murderous weapons. In particular, those ground mines made of porcelain jars and clay pots exploded, and the iron nails, wires, and bamboo sticks inside flew sideways and pierced people's bodies, just like bullets. The electric explosives were even more powerful, and they rumbled like thunder on dog days, and they were so numerous and powerful that they were a large explode as if they were on an airplane, and the brothers were thrown high and fell down like they were on an airplane, and the blood and dirt were mixed together, and it was miserable!

This is easy to bomb, and it only blew up Zhang Liyuan, who attacked Ximen, crying for his father and mother.

At this time, Wang Jiwen gave the order to open fire. Suddenly, the Eighth Route Army on the wall of the West Gate opened fire, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers, and slammed into Zhang Liyuan's troops, which were already in chaos. Under the command of the cadres, the temporarily organized army guarding the city wall first threw three rounds of guns in succession. The guns were uniform, and they were originally all defenders of the city who had just gone to the battlefield, and under the unified order, they fought with a clear eye. Zhang Liyuan's besieging army was stunned at once, leaving corpses and wounded all over the ground, and retreated like a tide. That's it, the Eighth Route Army did not let them go, and the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, mortars, grenadiers, and flying thunder cannons on the city wall chased their retreating backs, fighting fiercely!

Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall.

Zhang Liyuan's troops were frustrated at the West Gate, and Wuhua's Ministry of Culture attacked a regiment at the North Gate. The scene was the same, they all stepped on the mine first, and then they were hit by the fire of the Eighth Route Army, and the retreat was the same as the trend, very fast.

Wu Huawen was only working for a while, and things had already reached this level, and he was unwilling to stop there, and this was only the first attack. Besides, the Eighth Route Army is likely to concentrate its military forces at the West Gate and the North Gate, and Wu Huawen's strong attack on the East Gate and the South Pass has not yet been planned!

Wu Huawen strictly ordered the troops responsible for attacking the West Gate and the North Gate to continue the attack and cover the movements of the troops at the East Gate and the South Gate.

After the East Gate and Nanguan were instigated, Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan's hearts were lost in the ice cave. Wang Hongjiu is a damn lie about the military situation, where is the military strength of a battalion, there is more than one battalion that uses mortars, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns. The walls were littered with bullet-spewed muzzles, and the defenders numbered four or five thousand men, to say the least.

Wu Huawen has been in battle for a long time, and he has seen from the situation of the Eighth Route Army firing that the heavy firepower, artillery, and machine guns that caused heavy casualties to the besieging army were mainly the heavy firepower, artillery, and machine guns, which was the style of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army. The rifles are not compatible, they are all platoon guns, and the types of guns are very varied, which means that it is not the main force of the Eighth Route Army, could it be that the Eighth Route Army has transferred the county brigade, the district squads and the militia from all over Linyi to the city? It is said that it can't be done, the Eighth Route Army just wants to transfer the weapons in those places, and it's too late in time?

Wu Huawen didn't give up, pulled over a regiment commander and roared: "You take the lead in the charge." Rush to the head of the city and fight with the Eighth Route Army! ”

The regiment commander recounted: "Division commander, you can't rush forward. You didn't look at the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the brothers became targets. We don't have artillery, and we don't have as many machine guns as the Eighth Route Army, so you can't rush even if you shoot me. Division commander, withdraw! ”

Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan's eyes were red!

As soon as the north gate and the west gate opened, Wang Jiwen knew that Linyi City was in danger. But before he could get excited, the east gate and the south gate opened. Wang Jiwen was taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen still had this level, and they actually came up with a plan to feint to attack the West Gate and the North Gate, and mainly attack the East Gate and the South Gate. It seems that Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen are not in vain, they still have two brushes.

After seeing through the furnishings of Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan, Wang Jiwen immediately adjusted the furnishings, let Zhao Ling sit at the west gate, let Zhang Shi, the commander of the fifth battalion, sit at the north gate, and rushed to the east gate with some people to reinforce. Because from the sound of gunfire, Wang Jiwen had already heard that it was a color of state-made weapons that attacked the east gate, needless to say that it was the main force of Wu Huawen's new fourth division. As for Nanguan, from the sound of gunfire, the Chinese Academy of Sciences heard that the weapons were very miscellaneous, and they should be the main force of Zhang Liyuan's department. Wang Jiwen was not worried about Nanguan, because the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army was enough to make up for the shortcomings of long ground defense and weak military strength. It is important to know that the main battalion structure of the fifth battalion of the new 14 th Regiment consists of three infantry companies plus one fire support company, all four companies have been reequipped with heavy fire companies, and one company is assigned to a target target to support operations, and the firepower density is much higher than that of Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division and Zhang Liyuan's department. With the equipment of Zhang Liyuan's department, it is impossible to withstand the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army. Unless Zhang Liyuan wants to pay for his old work and fight to the end, Wang Jiwen estimates that Zhang Liyuan does not have that kind of courage.

Wang Jiwen was panicked and steady, but Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan couldn't sit still.

The mines of the Eighth Route Army were blown up, the charge remembered again, and the brothers also proposed to charge again, and Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department once again spread to the city wall like a trend, and proposed an attack on the whole front. However, under the fierce and dense firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the brothers were not only targets but also targets, let alone blowing up the city gates and building ladders on the city walls, they could not rush to the root of the city walls at all, and had to retreat from the tide again.

At this time, taking advantage of the frustration of Zhang Liyuan's troops and Wu Huawen's attack on the city, the Eighth Route Army on the city wall held an iron trumpet and shouted: "Brothers under the city, listen: Chinese do not fight Chinese, do not work for Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen, fighting the Eighth Route Army is to be Han Jian, and if you die, you cannot enter the ancestral grave, and the eight generations of ancestors will be disgraced." The policy of the Eighth Route Army is that if people do not offend me, I will not be imprisoned, if people offend me, I will be imprisoned, and those who engage in friction will die! Brothers, the time has come to fight back, capture Zhang Liyuan and Wu Huawen alive, join the Eighth Route Army and fight devils with us! The Eighth Route Army guarantees that you will stay free and pay you the travel expenses! ”

Over and over again, and over and over again.

This is the Eighth Route Army's political work propaganda specialty, not only Zhao Rong and Wang Jiwen understand, but also the cadres and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but the object does not match, and the content of the shouting does not match.

Wu Huawen and Zhang Liyuan were still confident to take Linyi City at the beginning, but at this time, neither of them had this idea, and they only felt upset when they listened to the shouts of the Eighth Route Army at the head of the city.

Wu Huawen asked Zhang Liyuan tentatively: "Commander Zhang, why don't we tell Director Zhou about the battle situation in Linyi?" Excuse me? ”

Zhang Liyuan hurriedly said: "Yes, you should ask for instructions." It is best to let Director Zhou mobilize the 51st Army and the 57th Army to rush to reinforcements. They were well equipped, each division had a mortar battalion, an anti-aircraft machine-gun battalion, which could suppress the heavy fire of the Eighth Route Army. ”
