Chapter 768: Iron Fist
Just when Liu Yimin was dealing with the Tanggou incident, the Eighth Route Army's First Brigade and the New First Brigade were in full swing in northeastern Anhui under the command of Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin, and the troops directly under six infantry regiments, one armored regiment, and two brigades moved south from Suxian County, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, blowing a whirlwind in the northeastern part of Anhui.
The goal of the operation sweeping northeast Anhui was to eradicate the Japanese puppet forces in the area east of Jinpu Road in northeast Anhui.
When the Eighth Route Army first implemented the strategy of taking the bull south, it mainly moved south in concealment in northern Jiangsu. Later, the Second Jiao Brigade, the Luxi Garrison Brigade, and the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, which were tasked with luring the enemy southward, launched an attack on Bengbu after moving to the northeastern Anhui region and cut off the Tianjin-Pudong Railway for a time, but the combat mission of the troops was mainly to mobilize the Japanese army. In addition, when encountering such a large-scale main force of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese puppet troops in those small strongholds were afraid to move, so the first morning glory tactics did not deal a big blow to the Japanese puppet forces in these areas. When Liu Yimin led the army south again, it was still mainly to mobilize the Japanese army. In addition to the cavalry brigade in a big way to lure the enemy in the west of Jinpu Road, the main force of the southbound troops has been waiting in concealment, and many people only know that there is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Suxian area, and only some local armed forces leading in the east of Suxian are active. These local armed forces belong to the grass creation period, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, so in addition to guarding strongholds and highways, those Japanese puppet troops are constantly coming out to sweep up and do evil. Later, the Eighth Route Army implemented piecemeal tactics to strike at the Japanese puppet strongholds on the communication lines in the Suring area, and these Japanese puppet troops became honest and knew that there was still the word fear in the world.
The iron fist of the Eighth Route Army swung towards Lingbi County first.
"Yu Ji, strange stones, Zhong Kui paintings, Lingbi three unique in the world".
There is also a saying called Lingbi three treasures: "one beautiful, one strange, one ugly", the beautiful is Yu Ji, the strange is the Lingbi stone, and the ugly is naturally the ghost hunter Zhong Kui.
Yu Ji is the love of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and it is said that Lingbi is the ancient battlefield where Chu and Han fought each other. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought two major battles here, the first time, the Chu army wiped out 100,000 Han troops, and the Sui River was cut off. The second time was the famous siege of Xiaxia, the commander of the Han army, Han Xin, set an ambush plan on all sides, and the battle was decided, forcing Xiang Yu to sigh "Yu Xi Yu Xi Naohe", and broke through to He County to kill himself by the river. Up to now, there is the place where Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu in the north of Lingbi City - Overlord City, there is Hanxin Lookout - Gold and Silver Mountain in the south of the city, there are ancient ruins in the southeast of the city, and there are Ba Lipu and Yu Ji Tomb in the east of the city.
Lingbi stone, also known as chime stone, is produced in Lingbi County in the northern foot of Chishi Mountain, ranking first among the four strange stones in China. The Song Dynasty poet Fang Yan praised the poem: "The spiritual wall is a stone in the world, and the sound is like bronze and jade." Lingbi Stone has attracted the attention of the world, "Shangshu? In Yu Gong", there is a record of Xuzhou Shanggong "Sibin Floating Chime". "Yunlin Stone Spectrum" contains 116 kinds of stone products, and Lingbi stone is introduced in the first place. Since ancient times, the famous Tibetan stone family also has hidden the treasures of the Lingbi, among which the famous ones are Su Shi's "Little Penglai", Fan Chengda's "Little Emei", Zhao Mengfu's "Five Old Peaks", and so on.
Zhong Kui painting, refers to the authentic traditional Lingbi Gongbi heavy color Zhong Kui painting, legend can suppress evil and eliminate disasters, but to stamp the seal "Lingbi County Seal" to be effective. Lingbi is Zhong Kui's hometown, and the Zhong Kui paintings here have a long history, and from an artistic point of view, they should be in the same vein as Wu Daozi's paintings of Zhong Kui in the Tang Dynasty.
After talking about the three treasures of Lingbi, let's talk about the geographical location of Lingbi, it is adjacent to Si County in the east, Suxian County in the west, bordering Tongshan and Suining in the north, Guzhen and Wuhe in the south, it is the only way to the Hongze Lake area, and has an extremely important strategic location in the northeast of Anhui and even the entire Jiangsu and Anhui region.
Since the Japanese army captured Lingbi County in November 1938, Lingbi County has established a maintenance association. After the Japanese army captured the important market towns in the county, the maintenance association was changed to the pseudo-Lingbi county government, and the traitor Zhang Zibo was appointed governor.
Before the fall of Lingbi, the county national government had 1 county magistrate and 1 secretary. There are 3 sections, one in charge of administration, civil affairs and public security; The second section is in charge of finance, field grain, and society; The three departments are in charge of education and construction. Each section has 1 section chief and 1-3 staff members. After the Japanese captured Lingbi, the county national government withdrew to Fengmiao Zhangji in Lingbei. At this time, Xu Zhiyuan, who had a Gui background, was appointed as the county magistrate, and the county government moved in the areas of Linggu and Xiaogaojia, and was equipped according to the C-level guerrilla zone, with 1 county magistrate, 1 secretary, 1 section chief of each section of the first, second, and third sections, 5 section members, and 1 instructor.
Gao Yuan, Cheng Cuilin commanded the 1st Brigade and the New 1st Brigade to kill Lingbi first, in addition to Lingbi's important strategic position, the most important thing is that Lingbi's Japanese puppet forces are extremely rampant.
After the Japanese army captured Lingbi, the county government withdrew from the county seat, and the Japanese puppet army occupied the county seat and important market towns, and soon began to distribute grain and donations, and implemented aggressive rule. People began to form guerrilla forces, the county government was also organizing guerrilla forces, and some bandit and diehard forces were also pulling troops to build up their forces. The most powerful and rampant are the pseudo-forces of Lei Jiesan and Liu Futing.
This Lei Jiesan, formerly known as Lei Hongsheng, is the family of Yin Ji Xiaolei in Lingbi County, born in a landlord family, and began to debut in 1913, he has served as a squad leader, company commander, director of the Yin Group Defense Bureau, captain of the cavalry team of the Lingbi County National Government and Zhang Ji, director of the Yin Ji Joint Defense and Self-Defense Bureau, and commander of the Lingbi Garrison Battalion. In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the Ma-Ri Incident, Lei Jiesan's uncle was killed by Zhang Zongchang, and Lei Jiesan was also wanted by Zhang Zongchang and fled to the area of Da Li Ji in Suining County, where he could not hide.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lei Jiesan felt that his opportunity had come, so he went to Si County to find Sun Bowen, the guerrilla commander of Si County, and asked for the committee of the captain of the fourth security brigade, so he ran back to his hometown Yinji and began to recruit troops. Not to mention, this Lei Jiesan is really good at picking the time, and he really let him pull up a team of more than 1,000 people, even the guns are ready-made, and the weapons that are left are selected.
If Lei Jie San really resisted Japan, this army would be enough to make him famous. It's a pity that this old boy has never shot a devil, and he is bent on oppressing the people in the northern region of Lingbi. He didn't like this anymore, and just asked Sheng Zijin, director of the Anhui Ninth Prefecture Administration, to appoint him an official with the head of an independent regiment, and even surrendered to the little devil with a gun, openly became a traitor, and committed evil on both sides of the Sui River.
Liu Futing and Lei Jiesan are slightly different, this guy himself is a bandit, and his subordinates are basically bandits. Originally, if Liu Futing was to resist the Japanese, maybe he would also write a legend of bandits killing devils. It's a pity that this Liu Futing and Lei Jie San are even worse than Lei Jie San, not only do he not fight devils, on the contrary, he fights whoever resists Japan. No, Sheng Zijin came to the northeast of Anhui, not only as the director of the Ninth Prefecture, but also as the magistrate of Si County, which annoyed Xu Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Lingbi County. Xu Zhiyuan asked Liu Futing to fight Sheng Zijin, how did Xu Zhiyuan, who was bent on local forces, know that Liu Futing had secretly surrendered to the Japanese army, and even had a number, and instigated Liu Futing to beat his top boss, didn't this make lard blind?
Liu Futing happily accepted the task, chasing Sheng Zijin's troops every day, if it weren't for the Eighth Route Army, maybe Sheng Zijin would have become a ghost.
Lei Jiesan and Liu Futing, one occupies Yin Ji and the other occupies You Ji, echoing the Japanese army from afar, and making Lingbei a miasma.
It's ridiculous to say that the four infantry brigades of the southbound troops of the Eighth Route Army are waiting in the Suxian and Lingbi areas, this Lei Jiesan and Liu Futing are so arrogant that they don't know what their surnames are, and they still don't repent, and they still don't know what their surnames are, and they still think that this Lingbi is still the world of the Japanese army, and they can still be at ease as traitors! It is time to grab grain and grab food, and continue to do evil when it should be evil. As a result, the last time the Eighth Route Army implemented piecemeal tactics, these two guys were taught a hard lesson. It's just that the Eighth Route Army was in the consideration of hidden strategic intentions and did not end their lair.
This time, it was hard to wait for the order to sweep through the northeast of Anhui, and Gao Yuan shouted to the cadres at the combat mobilization meeting: "Under the nose of the Eighth Route Army, Lei Jiesan and Liu Futing still dared to surrender to the Japanese and were willing to be traitors. What does this mean? It shows that there are many people in China who desperately want to be traitors, it shows that these two guys are incorrigibly bad, it shows that the prestige of our First Brigade has not yet been established in the northeast of Anhui, it shows that our knife is not sharp enough, and the little bugs dare to crawl on the knife edge of the First Brigade! If this goes on for a long time, will the division commander's remark that any enemy who hears the prestige of our army must retreat 200 miles will become an empty phrase? ”
The commander of the 1st Brigade, the most elite of the Eighth Route Army, released such cruel words, and the life path of the Lingbi Japanese puppet army, including Lei Jiesan and Liu Futing, has come to an end.
With the strength of the 1st Brigade and the New 1st Brigade, to clean up the Japanese puppet army in Lingbi, to be honest, it was a knife used to kill chickens. However, all the troops who taught the instructor knew that Liu Yimin said that he used the power of the lion and tiger to fight the rabbit, and what he wanted was to be thunderous and quick to fight, so as to completely destroy the psychology of those who wanted to be traitors, so that they would know the strength of the main force of the Eighth Route Army and dare not be traitors.
According to the battle plan, the 1st Brigade and the New 1st Brigade were divided into regiments and battalions, starting from the Shicun and Dadian strongholds in Suxian County, and swept wildly through the Suling area.
The Japanese puppet army in Lingbi, in addition to the Japanese army in the county seat, is the most difficult to fight, and the Liu Futing Department stationed in Youji. After being attacked piecemeal by the Eighth Route Army, this guy retracted to the stronghold of Youji, which was Liu Futing's old nest when he was a bandit, and it was very strong, with a polder wall and a polder, the polder wall was about five feet high, and there was a horse barrier wall on it. The polder ditch is two zhang deep and three zhang wide, there is a wooden city outside the polder, the outside of the wooden city is barbed wire, and the outside of the wooden city is the deer village fixed with wooden piles. There are two parts of the polder wall, the large polder and the small polder, and there are more than 20 brick and wood turrets and pillboxes in the stronghold. Moreover, the weapons and equipment of Liu Futing's department are particularly good, this guy originally had more than 1,500 troops, more than 1,300 long and short guns, one anti-aircraft machine gun, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, and two mortars. After the attack of the Eighth Route Army, the troops were lost, but now there should still be half of the force.
Historically, the New Fourth Army eliminated Liu Futing's department, adopted the method of combining the inside and the outside, disintegrated Liu Futing's department, and took advantage of the night to touch the Youji stronghold, and came to catch turtles in an urn.
After Liu Futing reindented into Youji's stronghold, he was not really honest. This guy is a big smoker, and he is a habitual bandit, and he has a lot of bad ideas, and he even set up a black killing team to attack and attack, guerrilla to guerrilla, and the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army.
Liu Futing's black killing squads were all composed of backbone bandits, who were ruthless, and often took advantage of the cover of night to enter the village to hunt down and kill anti-Japanese activists, often using the method of cutting with axes and strangling ropes, and after killing people, they threw them away at the Yunliu River or the Yanghe River, and could not even find a single body. If the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law of whose family are more handsome, let these bandits and traitors see it, and the result will not need to be said more.
On this morning, after Liu Futing got up, he first had enough of his addiction to smoking, so he had a gloomy face and called Shen Dingkun, the deputy commander, saying that he had been aggrieved in Youji for so long that he couldn't even see a troupe, and the brothers had become seedlings at noon. You have to think of a way to boost your morale.
How many good things are there when bandits? What's more, they are still bandits who are willing to be traitors? Shen Dingkun could see at a glance that Liu Futing wanted to spoil women again. However, this Liu Futing has been a bandit for a long time, and there are many women who are ruined, and he can't look down on ordinary women, and he likes to spoil the beautiful girls who can be counted in ten miles and eight towns. This would not be a difficult thing in the past, as long as Commander Liu gave an order, it would naturally be captured. Now it's different, the guerrillas everywhere, as long as they find out that the brethren go out, there is a good chance that they will walk out and lie down and come in. Liu Futing should know this situation, otherwise, what did he organize the black killing team for? With his temper, it was to rob and kill.
Shen Dingkun calmed down, and said to Liu Futing with a smiling face: "Commander, who still has the heart to sing in this chaotic army?" The troupe didn't know where to go. Why don't you send a telegram to the Taijun in the city to see if there is a troupe in the county town and ask them to give a show to the brothers? ”
Liu Futing's peculiar black mold and black mold showed a strange smile on his face, he knew that Deputy Commander Shen Dingkun knew his thoughts, this was playing tricks with him!
Liu Futing had a smile on his face, but his tone became extremely cold: "Brother, where is there any drama troupe in the county." It's not that you don't know the virtues of the Japanese, if there is a troupe in the county, then the female characters won't let them toss to death? I'll tell you, look at the bright spots and look farther. I heard that Sheng Zijin has a propaganda team under him, and the actors are all foreign students from Anqing and Hefei, so they look so delicate! You send someone to inquire and show the way to the black killing team, and the old men rob his mother. Sheng Zijin is a person, he doesn't have a few guns, so he dares to shout in northeast Anhui, and if he doesn't clean him up, he won't know how many eyes Ma Wangye has! These girls are just looking at Sheng Zijin, at most shouting slogans, which is pure waste. In the hands of Lao Tzu, discipline her to turn the anti-Japanese slogan into a bed begging for mercy! That voice, like a yellow bird, do you say it's beautiful? ”
Shen Dingkun suddenly realized that what the commander never forgot was the female students in Sheng Zijin's art troupe!
With a goal, this is easy to do, Shen Dingkun patted his chest and took care of it, saying that he would arrange it immediately, and promised to let Sheng Zijin's Ninth Prefecture Art Troupe come to Youji to perform for the brothers, so that the commander would be happy!
Shen Dingkun had just gone out for a while before he turned back again, and reported in a panic that the big thing was not good, and the Eighth Route Army surrounded Youji.
When Liu Futing heard this, he smiled: "Brother, you're not talking in a dream, are you?" In this big day, Tubalu dares to come to fight Lao Tzu's stronghold? ”
Shen Dingkun's voice was already crying: "Commander, go and see, it's really the Eighth Route Army that is surrounding." That's a lot of tanks and artillery! ”
Liu Futing panicked at this time, and hurriedly followed Shen Dingkun out of the house and went upstairs to check.
It didn't matter if I looked at it, I almost scared Liu Futing off the turret: I saw that all around You Ji had been taken by the Eighth Route Army. In front of the Youji stronghold, more than a dozen tanks were neatly lined up, and the muzzles of the guns were all facing the main gate of the Youji stronghold. In the distance, there is the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, which seems to have not only infantry guns, small steel cannons, but also field artillery.
Liu Futing complained in his heart, Lao Tzu only has a thousand numbers at best, which tendon of the Eighth Route Army turned wrong, and he put on such a big formation!
It was the First Regiment and the First Armored Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the First Brigade Artillery Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The intention of the plateau is to deter traitors!
A stocky and heroic officer of the Eighth Route Army shouted: "Listen to the puppet army brothers of Youji, we are the Eighth Route Army Instructor Teaching the First Brigade, and we are here to destroy you on the orders of General Liu Yimin. Division Commander Liu said that Liu Futing defected to the Japanese army as a traitor, and it was heinous and killed. For the sake of the brothers being deceived by Liu Futing, the Eighth Route Army allowed you to surrender. Anyone who captures Liu Futing alive will be rewarded with 500 yuan. Those who capture the members of the black killing team alive will be rewarded with 50 yuan. If other officers of Liu Futing's department are captured alive, the platoon commander will be rewarded with 10 yuan, the company commander will be rewarded with 20 yuan, and the team leader will be rewarded with 50 yuan. The Eighth Route Army gave the brothers ten minutes to consider. Ten minutes later, our army began to attack, and we will kill them! Now I'm going to start the timer. ”
Liu Futing knew that the instructor of the Eighth Route Army was very good at teaching the First Brigade, and when he looked at the reality outside, his legs were weak, and he knew that the Eighth Route Army who shouted did not lie to him, and it was indeed the First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army who came. Obediently, that is the main force of the Eighth Route Army to destroy the imperial army, when did you touch your own door!
After all, Liu Futing is a habitual bandit, not only black-hearted, but also cunning and abnormal. After calming down a little, Liu Futing made a decision, he asked Shen Dingkun to go up and shout, and fight a lawsuit with the Eighth Route Army, and he went down the turret in a panic to ask for help from the Japanese army in Lingbi City.
Shen Dingkun hated Liu Futing to death in his heart at this time, this old thing, always let himself block the gun hole at a critical time, and the bullet doesn't recognize people. What if the sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold are aiming at themselves? Isn't that the shouting possible to turn into a corpse before it ends?
