At this time, Lu Xi's shape was that Wang Jinxiang co-opted the remnants of the 2nd, 21st, 22nd, and 33rd detachments of Fan Zhuxian's old department, and organized them into the 6th, 8th, and 9th security brigades of the Kuomintang Shandong Province, entrenched at the junction of Chaocheng, Shouzhang, Fanxian, Yanggu, and Guancheng counties.

Qi Zixiu gathered the remnants of the 4th, 19th, and 29th detachments, and organized them into the 7th and 11th Brigades of the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Security Guard, occupying the Shouzhang area.

Between the two major political forces of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, there is a Shen County, and I have to talk about the situation in Shen County.

After the Kuomintang diehards created the Shen County Incident and killed Lu Shilong, they appointed Wei Lukun as the county magistrate and head of the security brigade. They create white terror in the city, searching, arresting *** and progressives.

However, the real *** people were not intimidated by the arrogance of the enemy, they regrouped and began a new battle.

On the day of the incident, Wang Huiqing took two spears from the peasant association, went out of the city with the social training team, and organized the armed forces. Zhang Bingyuan and Zi Xiulin were detained by the enemy, and after being rescued by the party and intimidated by Zhang Bingyuan's extremely high prestige among the masses, the enemy had to release them.

After Zhang Bingyuan came out, he immediately drafted the "Letter to the Compatriots in Northwest Lu," which was mimeographed and widely posted and distributed, exposing the crimes of the Kuomintang diehards in sabotaging the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and calling on the people of Northwest Lu and Shen County to take action to avenge Commander Fan Zhuxian and Lu Shilong, and to repel the attacks of the Japanese army and the Kuomintang diehards.

With the support of the main force and the leadership of the higher-level party committee, in December 1938, the Xinxian County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China was re-established, with Wang Huiqing as secretary, Bai Pu as deputy secretary, and Zhang Ying, Du Cheng, and Zhao Renshan as members of the county party committee. The newly established county party committee was active at the junction of Xinguan and Xinguan, and grasped the restoration of the party's organization and the building of the armed forces on the other.

The county party committee organized forces and first executed Ma Xingtang and other traitors. In the Shen County Incident, Wang Mengzhou assassinated the anti-Japanese county magistrate Lu Shilong and was shot by Han Xing. This Ma Xingtang is also hateful enough, he participated in the rebellion, and also confiscated Zi Xiulin's box gun at the east gate of the city.

The county party committee has learned a truth from the bloody lesson of the Shen County incident, that is, the importance of building up the armed forces. In a short time, a team of more than 80 people was organized.

At this time, the anti-Japanese advance detachment of the 129th Division with Li Jukui as commander and political commissar was established, and the contingent established by the Shenxian County Party Committee was called the First Guerrilla Brigade of the Advance Column, with Wang Huiqing, secretary of the county party committee, as the captain.

One day in February 1939, it was the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and people were busy celebrating the New Year, and the Japanese puppet army launched a large-scale attack from Liaocheng to Shen County. More than 1,000 Japanese troops, divided into more than 50 vehicles and more than 30 light tanks, broke into Shen County from Maqiao, followed by a traitor contingent commanded by Liu Xianzhou.

At that time, the 1st Guerrilla Brigade, the newly formed advance team, was stationed in the area around Maqiao, and suddenly saw so many yellow devils rushing all over the sky, and there were so many cars and tanks, that some people were simply frightened, threw down their guns and ran away.

Before they could engage the enemy, the soldiers ran away for the most part. The disparity between the enemy and us was too great to fight this battle, so Wang Huiqing had no choice but to take the rest of his troops to move closer to the advance column.

Wang Huiqing saw Director Wang Youping and said: "Director Wang, this battle was not fought well, not a single devil was killed, and more than half of our team ran away. Request for organizational disciplinary ......"

Wang Youping did not criticize him, but comforted him and said: "The recruits who have never fought are like this, and if they don't fight a few battles, their combat effectiveness will not improve." Besides, in a few months, the green gauze tent will be up, and it will be a good time for us to fight guerrillas. Go back and organize the team well and keep working. ”

With the support of the head of the first column, Wang Huiqing reorganized the troops. The first column also sent some political workers and military cadres with combat experience to strengthen the combat strength of the brigade.

After the loss of Maqiao, the Kuomintang county security brigade defending the county seat neither protected the territory nor the people, and learned that the Japanese army was attacking Shen County, but there was no trace of the Japanese army, so they abandoned the county seat and fled to the Zaoshu area in the south of the city, giving up the county seat to the Japanese puppet army.

The occupation of Shen County by this Japanese army was not finished, and continued to attack south and west.

Coincidentally, at this time, the Japanese army attacked the area of Zhaoguanmu in the west of the city and encountered the teaching corps of the Tenth Army of the Kuomintang that retreated south. This teaching corps has a cadre brigade, a cadet brigade, and a political work brigade, and there are very few guns, and some female soldiers have no combat effectiveness at all.

And the Japanese troops were mainly automobiles, bean battle tank cars, with machine guns on the cars, and heavy machine guns on the tanks, which were just slaughtered unscrupulously against the troops who wore military uniforms and had no weapons.

"Sudden ......", "Da ......", "Tu Tu Tu ......", "Da ......"

Countless Chinese soldiers and cadets of the teaching brigade fell in pools of blood, and of course, there were also many female soldiers mixed in.

The Japanese soldiers on the cars and tanks laughed, how could these Chinese soldiers running around have no weapons? Without weapons, what are they doing in military uniforms?

Chen Geng rushed to the 771st Regiment and asked the 771st Regiment to quickly occupy a small high ground and cover the retreat of the 10th Army Corps' teaching brigade.

The situation improved slightly, and some of the members of the teaching brigade were withdrawn, but a considerable number of them did not. While continuing to attack the teaching brigade, the devil soldiers rushed towards the 771st regiment in a tank car.

These Japanese light tanks lined up in a wedge formation and quickly pressed towards the position of the 771st Regiment.

The wedge offensive formation, which is said to be an invention of the German tank specialist Guderian. If the tank is lined up in a column, it is not easy to exert firepower, but if the line is too dense, it is easy to be hit by air or ground fire, so it is generally 50 meters between tanks and tanks. If the enemy has air supremacy, it will have to be expanded to 100 meters.

Generally, if a company or squadron is 17 tanks, the first row of 5 tanks is lined up in a wedge formation for the company's main attack, the second row of 5 tanks is lined up in a column on the left, the third row is lined up in a column on the right, and the command vehicle of the company is in the middle, directing the attack of one platoon and the flank defense of the second and third platoons.

This wedge offensive formation is still the best tactic for offensive infantry defense.

Some soldiers of the 771st Regiment saw that the little devil's tank car was rushing over, and machine guns and rifles were shooting together, trying to stop the attack of the tank car.

Numerous bullets hit the front steel plate on the tank. Although there were only 12 mm on the front steel plate, it was enough, and the falling bullet emitted a "pop!" Syllable! Syllable! The sound was reflected on the steel plate and flew in all directions.

When the officers and soldiers of the 771 Regiment saw it, they were a little panicked, this iron guy is really invulnerable! At this time, it would be nice to have artillery, but the weapons of the 771st regiment are not good, not to mention infantry artillery, even mortars.

As soon as the fighters were in a hurry, they lost their minds a little, and more bullets flew towards the tank, which only caused more bullets and panic.

"Don't fight! Save me some son bullets. Chen Geng's eyes were red. He knew that the situation was extremely critical, and although he had a whole regiment of troops, there was nothing he could do to deal with the dozens of tanks of the little devils.

It is stupid to attack the enemy, but it is also not okay to retreat. If there was a retreat on the Great Plains, dozens of tanks chasing the more than 1,000 infantry would be a terrible massacre.

"Prepare a cluster grenade for me, as long as it comes over, blow it up!" Chen Geng had no choice but to give such an order.

The fighters are no longer shooting blindly, they are all strapped with cluster grenades, some with two grenades tied together, some with three grenades tied together. Some of the strips of cloth were made with leggings, and some were directly slipped off the trousers with bayonets.

Chen Geng knew in his heart that there was no way to blow up the devil's tank with a grenade. With the enemy's tanks lined up in such a formation, it is really difficult to say how many lives a soldier will be subjected to machine gun fire no matter which way he approaches the enemy from any direction.

The enemy's tanks were getting closer and closer, and when the tanks were walking, they were constantly strafing, constantly firing 37-mm howitzer shells, and the dense bullets kicked up layers of dust on the positions of the 771st regiment, and Chinese soldiers were constantly blown up and flew up.

Commanding these two tank squadrons was none other than the Japanese Commander Daisa, whose command vehicle was in the center circle of the two Japanese squadrons, and he was howling hysterically and giving an order to all the Japanese tanks: "My loyal Imperial officers and soldiers, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions to the Great Japanese Empire." It is said that the Eighth Route Army is so powerful, and today we finally have the honor to fight with them. Let them mourn in the midst of our fire! Let them groan under our fire! The invincible Imperial Japanese Army is going to show its great force today on the Great Plains of Shen County. Work hard, officers and soldiers, and charge at the enemy......"

As a result, the engines of these tanks roared even more, increased their horsepower, and launched an attack on the positions of the 771 regiment.

A massacre is inevitable.

At this moment, only a thunderclap could be heard on a sunny day, and it was like a thunderclap sounding in the air. "Boom, boom, boom-" FH18105-millimeter howitzer shells flew over. Although these shells did not fall many at a time, that is, four rounds, they also disrupted the formation of these bean chariots.

These bean chariots are arranged at a distance of 50 meters, but the killing radius of these howitzer shells is 70 meters, that is, every time a shell falls, there is always shrapnel flying on these bean chariots. Some shrapnel was attached to the tank, and some shrapnel directly blew up the 12-mm steel plate, and the shrapnel drilled into it.

If the shrapnel of steel burrows into the flesh of a person, what will it be like, you go and ask the little devil!
