Chapter 911 Fortified City

The battle in Linyi City lasted only about a little more than a while, and ended with Zhang Liyuan's troops being driven out of Linyi City

In the city of Linyi after the war, even the air was filled with a bloody smell.

Wang Jiwen did not let the army out of the city to pursue the rout soldiers who fled in a hurry, because he did not have time to capture the prisoners, and he needed to quickly reorganize the infantry in Linyi City to fully defend the force. Zhang Liyuan can think of sending thousands of people to disguise refugees and sneak into the city, he will definitely not give up, he saw the emptiness of the military in Linyi City, so he sacrificed a killing move, maybe his main force is running towards Linyi City!

After the battle in the city ended, Wang Jiwen and Zhao Gong did four things: The first thing was to order the sappers of the fifth battalion to lead the militia out of the city, and lay mines, land mines, and explosive packs outside the west gate, north gate, east gate, and south gate gates, and bury as many as they could. Wang Jiwen knew in his heart that Zhang Liyuan's department and Wuhua's cultural department did not have artillery, at most, there were some mortars, and the number would not be large. If they attack the city, they must use their brains on the four city gates and rely on the advantage of a large number of people to force the attack. These mines, ground mines, and explosives packs can play a role in intensively killing and injuring the enemy and delaying the enemy's attack. The second thing was to order the opening of the arsenal, distribute weapons and ammunition to the teachers and students of Linyi Middle School, Vocational School, and Linyi Normal School, and organize an army to participate in the battle and assist in defending the city in accordance with the formation of military training in peacetime. The third thing is to order the cadres of the administrative department and the county government to lead the residents of Linyi, and all those who have been on the battlefield and received military training in Linyi City will report to the various organs to receive weapons and ammunition, and the cadres of the military region, the administrative office, and the county government will lead them to participate in the battle and defend the city. The fourth thing is to order the residents to form battlefield ambulance teams, stretcher teams, and transport teams, which are responsible for transporting ammunition and rescuing the wounded.

As early as the second time when the Japanese army swept Shandong with heavy troops, Liu Yimin ordered the entire territory of Shandong to be driven, and all demobilized soldiers must report to the Eighth Route Army and anti-Japanese governments at all levels, receive training from the training headquarters, and join the anti-sweeping battle. The Eighth Route Army has successively formulated a series of policies to reward the people to join the anti-Japanese resistance, and in the consolidated base areas such as the southeastern Ludong, Luxi, and Taiyi central base areas, the people-led training mechanism has been very perfect, and it would be strange if there were still people over the age of 14 in the Luxi, southeastern Lu, and Taiyi central base areas who could not shoot guns and throw bombs.

Since the end of the Taixi Campaign, the headquarters of the Fifth Brigade has been stationed in Linyi, and in accordance with the method of organizing and training the militia and leading the people, the Fifth Brigade has conducted extensive military training in the Linyi area. Zhang Liyuan and the others didn't know that the base area of the Eighth Route Army had become an impregnable wall, so they dared to disguise and sneak attack, and they were destined to hit their heads and bleed.

Wang Jiwen did this to drive all the forces in Linyi City to intervene in the defense of the city, make up for the lack of military strength, and ensure that Linyi City was firmly defended.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the old people in Linyi City have only lived a stable life since the Eighth Route Army was stationed, and they are no longer willing to let Linyi City be lost. Just now, the people of the city have already joined the battle to expel Zhang Liyuan, if Zhang Liyuanbu is allowed to capture Linyi City, the consequences are clear to everyone. Therefore, the cadres were very relaxed, and in a short time, more than 5,000 demobilized soldiers who had been on the battlefield and reserve soldiers who had been trained by the Eighth Route Army were organized. In this way, together with the teachers and students of Linyi Middle School, Technical School, and Linyi Normal School, in a short period of time, Wang Jiwen led a garrison force of more than 6,000 people in Linyi City.

Originally, Wang Jiwen could break up the five battalions of the New 14th Regiment, the main force left in Linyi, and mix these personnel to improve the overall combat capability. But Wang Jiwen didn't do this, he was old, and he knew how important it was to have a backbone composed of elites at hand. He asked the Fifth Battalion to take out all the grenadiers, mortars, flying thunder guns, and light and heavy machine guns in stockpile, and the whole battalion was formed into a fire support battalion, which established positions on the city walls to support the four target operations. This method can only be done by the main army of the Eighth Route Army, which advocates one specialization and multiple abilities, and cannot be done by any other army, including the 115th Division. Because the infantry changed to artillery and machine gunners, it was necessary to train for a certain amount of time.

On the city wall of Linyi, it was very noisy at this time.

Those demobilized soldiers who had been on the battlefield were very calm, and according to the orders of the cadres, they quietly crawled beside the battlements, and their eyes did not have a trace of emotion, looking at the torch infantry team that came from afar outside the city. The guys in their hands also took advantage of it, and the cadres gave them a one-color 38 big cover, which had a long range and hit accurately.

Although the teachers and students who pulled up the city wall and the trained young men recruited from among the residents were all trained, the final result was the first battle, and it was certain that they would be moved and panicked. In addition, there are all kinds of guys in hand, including Hanyang-made, Shenyang-made, Czech-style, German old sleeves, French Jiuliandeng, Russian water lianzhu, old sleeves, as well as old foreign cannons, Zhangqiu made, earth pressure five, singles one, and shotguns and earth cannons, all of which were collected by the Fifth Brigade in the Lunan area, the models are not uniform, and the ammunition cannot be supplied in batches, all of which are placed in warehouses and not equipped with troops, so they are just taken out and used at this time. Only the grenades were produced by the military factory of the Lunan Military Region with a unified model.

There are many craftsmen who make guns in Shandong, and they generally use vegetable cellars or dig a cellar to find a rifle as a sample, cut off the steel rail, and when it is red, it will be smashed up, and it would be better if there was a hand-cranked milling machine. The most difficult process of making a gun is the back and forth in the chamber of the gun, and the most difficult thing for a bullet is the primer. At the beginning, the guns made by the craftsmen were relatively rough and had explosive bore, but later they became more and more refined, and when put together with the imitated guns, they could be faked and real. In addition, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, countless grass-headed commanders appeared on the ground in Shandong, and the first thing these people had to solve was the problem of weapons, and most of them had factories and workshops for making and repairing guns. For example, Gaosongpo in Zhangqiu, Luzhong, has a military factory of more than 500 people, which can produce 30 rifles, 2 machine guns, 3 pistols, 200 grenades per day, and 6 mortars per month. Zhai Minwei, the owner of Daejeon in Puji Town, established a gun factory in Qianjingzhuang, and developed and manufactured turntable machine guns, Czech machine guns, grenadiers, and various rifles, pistols, and bullets for his own use and sale. Of course, most of these more famous military factories have been reorganized by the Logistics Command of the Eighth Route Army. Historically, when the 115th Division entered Shandong, it raised 70,000 or 80,000 infantry units in a year, mainly because there were many civilian guns and gunmakers in Shandong, and there was no shortage of weapons.

These teachers, students, and young adults, first competed with whom's gun was better, and then they practiced shoulder guns, guns, and aiming according to the routines they learned during military training. Then under the command of the cadres, the bullet bags and grenades were arranged, and then the practice of pressing bullets, drawing muzzle caps, and putting on bayonets.

The cadres of the Eighth Route Army were conducting intense pre-war intensive training, and the training targets were the backbone of the school's teachers and conscripted residents, all of whom were temporarily organized squad leaders and platoon leaders. The cadres of the Eighth Route Army made it clear that the soldiers relied on the squad leader, and the squad leader must be diligent in five ways: First, the eyes are diligent, and the whole class must be seen, whether the posture is high or not, and whether the position is correct or not, must be adjusted in time. The second is to be diligent in listening, not only what to hear, but also to hear what to think, emotional changes, sighs, to ask why, and to try to stabilize the mood of comrades. Only when the mood is stable can we aim and hit accurately, and we can not be afraid of injury and timidity. The third is to be diligent, to be a mother-in-law's mouth, and to correct it immediately if it is wrong. Fourth, the hands and feet are diligent, and it is not enough to listen to the light, but to teach them by hand. Fifth, the brain is diligent, the hands and feet are not idle, the eyes and ears are not idle, and the brain is not idle. You have to think about the problems, what has been presented is gone, and you have to think about the problems that have not been presented and may be presented, and you have to think about it. Otherwise, it is a lesson in blood.

After the cadres of the Eighth Route Army trained the teachers and backbones, the teachers and backbones went back to train their students and brothers according to the cadres of the Eighth Route Army:

"There are many rifle parts, which are simply divided into three, the body, the gun and the butt."

"A grenade, powerful, 2, 30 meters up, killing people and horses."

"The mark of a soldier is not a military uniform or rank, but a combination of man and gun, and man and gun are one. A soldier without a gun is like a toothless tiger. ”

"Stabilize your mind, form a line at three points, aim, listen to the password and release the gun!"

This is a typical on-the-spot grinding gun. However, these people have a foundation in military training, and what is missing is only battlefield training.

In the end, the teachers and students of Linyi Normal took the lead in singing the good boy created by the teacher Wen Zhiyuan:

Ji Ang generosity,

Full of anger,

Look at the mountains and rivers that invade me again and again.

The change of Shenyang occupies the northeast,

The soldiers of Songhu were robbed.

Good boy, die on the front line,

Big husband, serving the country,

Look at the big knives in your hands are all freshly sharpened.

The fertile fields shall be made of the flesh of the enemy,

Water the earth with the blood of your enemies,

The four islands of the flat district do the wilderness,

For farming!

The loud singing thought of the night sky, and at once the hearts of the people on the city wall were attracted, and the noise caused silence, and most of these teachers, students, and old people, who had never been on the battlefield, began to calm down in their hearts.

Linyi City, where the defense was empty, suddenly became a strong city with unity!

Standing on the wall of the West Gate, looking at the several torch infantry teams coming in the night in the distance, Wang Jiwen knew that the real test was coming, and it would not disappear, the main force of Zhang Liyuan in the west and the main force of Wu Huawen in the north.

Zhao Ying told Wang Jiwen that Commander Hong's reply had arrived, and the main force of the Fifth Brigade and the New Fifth Brigade was marching rapidly to Linyi, and Commander Hong ordered Wang Jiwen to serve as the commander-in-chief of Linyi's city defense, and commanded the Linyi army and people to stick to the city defense fortifications, and be sure to defend until the main force rushed back. Brigade Commander Hu of the Cavalry Brigade sent a telegram that our Cavalry Brigade had completed its assembly and began to rush to Linyi from the three target targets of Zaozhuang, Yixian County, and Tengxian County. Only the division commander and political commissar cannot be contacted now.

As soon as Wang Jiwen heard it, he said: "The division commander can't be contacted, and it is clear that he is on the march, and the radio cannot be turned on." It seems that the division commander and political commissar must have personally led the mechanized army of the 1st Brigade to return to Linyi! Haha, this battle is a big deal! Okay, teach Zhang Liyuan, these guys who don't know the sky, dare to mess with the instructor! Good! ”

Wang Jiwen made a few good things in a row, and he was so happy that he seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

Zhao Ying was not as happy as Wang Jiwen, and regretted: "What is good? Isn't it a devil fighter? Is this Li Yuan's brain hot and confused, he didn't fight devils, but opened the Eighth Route Army. It seems that all the work we have done to Zhang Liyuan's department has failed. in the same room, why is it too anxious to fry each other! ”

Wang Jiwen rolled his eyes: "Isn't it a good tool, forgetting the reactionary policies of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to prevent the Communist Party, limit the Communist Party, and dissolve the Communist Party?" Sooner or later, Chiang Kai-shek will fight us and unite with them to resist the war, so we have to guard against it. No, you can't guard against one hand, you have to guard against several hands. I'll give, it was Chiang Kai-shek's main force that was driven to the rear by the devils, if there were no devils, Chiang Kai-shek would have fought a decisive battle with us a long time ago. Maybe they killed me! In the end, Chiang Kai-shek is a rich man, and Lao Tzu is a cattle herder. The rich man and the cowherd can figure out who will do what and who should do what without effort. ”

This kind of reasoning does not eliminate Wang Jiwen's words, Zhao Ling's qualifications are older than him, his consciousness is earlier than him, and his cultural level is higher than him, Wang Jiwen is a general, and Zhao Rong is a warrior who cultivates generals. It's just that Zhao Zhen thinks deeper, that is, he is unwilling to let China's armed forces be consumed in civil war and friction, which can only make the devil happy. It's just that there is a contradiction between ideals and reality, and once the situation of the Anti-Japanese War eases, we will definitely not sit idly by and watch it grow and grow. This contradiction cannot be avoided.

The conversation between Wang Jiwen and Zhao Rong could not continue, the torches were getting closer and closer, and the war was about to begin.

Zhang Liyuan led the main force to advance in the starry night, and encountered Wang Hongjiu's rout on the way, and everything was clear as soon as he asked about the situation. Zhang Liyuan was angry and beat Xu Dabeard, who fled back in embarrassment, with a horsewhip. If it weren't for Wang Hongjiu's face, Zhang Liyuan would have killed him directly.

Linyi City did not grab it, but let Wang Hongjiu's detachment lose most of the people, and Zhang Li angrily scolded the bandits for being bandits and not being able to make the climate.

Zhang Liyuan was in a dilemma: he withdrew his troops, unable to explain to Zhou Fu and them, let alone Chairman Chiang. The cowhide has been blown out, how to end it? Attacking the city, the Eighth Route Army has already been on guard, and there are bound to be casualties. Everything is fake in this troubled world, only strength is real. Zhang Liyuan was unwilling to let the army suffer losses from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Liyuan thought about it, and felt that Wang Hongjiu's only gain from their trip to Linyi was to clear the secret of the Eighth Route Army in Linyi City, the Eighth Route Army was indeed limited in military strength, about only a battalion of regular army, plus miscellaneous left-behind personnel, no matter how it was calculated, it would not be able to cross the military strength of a regiment. This military strength wants to hold Linyi City, which is also a bit too unrealistic.

Zhang Liyuan carefully reviewed the entire plan of action to attack and occupy Linyi, and felt that on the whole, it was seamless, and the bad thing was that Xu Dabeard was a gang of perverts, who wanted to provoke the female soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Hospital, forcing the Eighth Route Army to shoot for self-defense. As soon as the gun rang out, the Eighth Route Army had no scruples, and the result was that the Eighth Route Army fought back in the whole city. If it weren't for Xu Dabeard's mistake, the Eighth Route Army in Linyi City would have been ready to withdraw from Linyi. Another point is that the brothers who infiltrated Linyi City had no guys, they were unarmed, and as soon as the Eighth Route Army fired, they all turned from hungry wolves to sheep, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to, but in fact, they were not the brothers.

Zhang Liyuan was a little envious of the Eighth Route Army, when he assisted Pang Bingxun to defend Linyi, what kind of goods were the troops in Shandong! It's all some teachers in robes and old people who put down their hoes, don't fight devils, it's good to have something to eat. Even after the fall of Linyi, the Shandong Eighth Route Army fought guerrilla warfare, which was also "wearing a coat, don't pout your waist, hook all of a sudden, and turn back to drill stubble". Who would have thought that the world would change too quickly, since Liu Yimin's instructor entered Shandong, attacked Qingdao and occupied Jinan, and the power was great, and Tuba Road became a Great Wall of Steel. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid this Shandong will be all done! How can we not stop their growth momentum?

Zhang Liyuan chose to attack Linyi. Although he is not a military talent, he graduated from the Department of Political Science of Peking University, and he knows that although the brothers who infiltrated Linyi City have been driven out, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still far away from the front line, and the Linyi defenders are limited, and the strong attack is still a sneak attack at this time. Zhang Liyuan believed that with his main force and the main force of Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division, plus part of Rongziheng's brigade, the army strength was ten times that of the Linyi defenders, and it should not be a problem to take Linyi City.

Zhang Liyuan, who had made up his mind, ordered the army to march to Linyi in a hurry, and at the same time informed Zhou Fu and Wu Huawen of the change in the situation in Linyi and his own determination.

When Zhang Liyuan's troops rushed to the city of Linyi and prepared for the siege, Wu Huawencai led the main force of the New Fourth Division to arrive.

As soon as they met, Wu Huawen was fortunate that the Eighth Route Army did not ambush on the road, nor did it blow up the bridges on the Yi River and the Shu River, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble.

In terms of actual combat experience, Wu Huawen is much richer than Zhang Liyuan. At this time, in order to recapture Linyi, Zhang Liyuan did not fight for fame, and directly suggested that the two armies should be jointly commanded, and a joint command center should be established, with Wu Huawen commanding the siege of the city.

Time waits for no one, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is likely to be rushing to the purpose of Linyi at this time, if you don't take Linyi as soon as possible, stick to the city, and wait for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to return, then the result can be thought of with your toes broken. Therefore, Wu Huawen was not polite, and directly began to arrange troops.

Wu Huawen's new Fourth Division was expanded on the basis of the Aihan Fuqu Pistol Brigade, and was the root of the old Northwest Army. There was only one battalion of regular troops in Linyi City, and Wu Huawen felt that this battle would be won, and it would be won cleanly.

Wu Huawen carefully observed the terrain of Linyi and immediately issued a combat order, first asking Zhang Liyuan, who was familiar with the terrain of Linyi, to send two detachments, one along the highway from Fei County to Yi County to block the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army that might come from Yi County, and the other to fortify the Shunyi River to block the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army that might return north to reinforce Linyi with the purpose of Tancheng Mark. Then he ordered one of his regiments to feint to attack the north gate, Zhang Liyuan's one of his security brigades to feint to attack the west gate, and his two security regiments to bypass the Yihe stone bridge and concentrate their forces to suddenly attack the north gate. A security brigade of Zhang Liyuan was left as the general reserve.

This battle plan was generally to feint the north and west gates to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force broke through at the north and south gates.

Zhang Liyuan looked at it and admired it, even Master Wu is Master Wu, this plan is good!
