Chapter 46: Northwest Shanxi Strategic Counteroffensive (1)
According to the plan drawn up by the two divisions in coordination with the operation, Han Yunhua's headquarters must launch an all-out attack on the enemy in front of them on March 16, defeat or destroy the enemy in Sanchabao, Tianjiayao, Yijing Town, Shankou, and Fenghuang Mountain within 10 days, and uproot the strongholds built by the Japanese army in these places. The two brigades of the 358th and 359th Divisions of the 120th Division attacked the two county towns of Wuzhai and Ningwu, and the Yanbei detachment harassed Pinglu County, which had fewer devil garrisons. At the same time, the troops directly under the division and the 358 Brigade Brigade Headquarters launched an attack on the enemy in Lanxian and Jingle.
Since the launch of the attack on the northwest of Shanxi in mid-February, the morale of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army has been like a rainbow, and Fu Zuoyi's department, which was originally regarded as the biggest opponent by Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, only retreated after a little resistance, and the First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army of the National Army were even more imminently defeated, and the headquarters of Major General Kuroda Shigetoku was under the cooperation of more than 3,000 cavalry of the great traitor Li Shouxin. Within half a month, it occupied all the strategically valuable cities and counties in the northwest of Shanxi, which can be described as invincible as the soldiers pointed out.
However, just when Major General Kuroda Shigetoku was a little flustered, bad news came one after another. First of all, the 11th Wing of the Independent Infantry stationed in Jining was attacked by the headquarters of the 77th Independent Brigade, the most mysterious of the Eighth Route Army, and suffered heavy losses. The Pingsui Railway was also severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army, and the north-south communication line was forced to be interrupted. This was followed by the troops attacking the northwest of Jinxi under fierce attack by the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, losing nearly half of their territory in just one month. Yesterday, Wuzhai City, a strategic point in the northwest of Shanxi Province, was besieged, and at the same time, the garrison of Hequ County was attacked by unknown forces, and all the soldiers of a squadron stationed in Hequ were shattered. What worries Major General Kuroda Shigetoku even more is that when the county town of Hequ was attacked, the defenders of the county town of Biguan who were close at hand did not send a single reinforcement, and when Major General Kuroda Shigetoku sent a report asking the reason, the defenders of the Biguan called back that a large number of troops had been found on the periphery of the Biguan yesterday, and a transport team in the Biguan had been attacked and the whole army was annihilated.
Although this reason is reasonable, but Major General Kuroda Shigetoku was suspicious of the defenders of the partial pass, the supreme commander of the garrison of the partial pass, Akidao Shaozo and Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, the person of Akida Shigetoku, the person of Akidao Shaosa, Kuroda Shigetoku knows best, in the eyes of Akitoku, the army is all chickens and dogs, how much he will not put in his eyes, just like when attacking Suiyuan, Akidao Shaozo led a brigade of infantry without the cooperation of field heavy artillery, and took the Suiyuan important town of Baotou from the hands of the two divisions. Therefore, Qiudao Shaozo will not ignore the life and death of his compatriots and comrades-in-arms at all, even if there is a division and an army in the Zhina army in front of him, he will fight for Qiudao.
Later, Major General Kuroda Shigetoku made several very secret tests on the defenders of the partial pass, and finally determined that it was not the Akidao Department stationed at the partial pass, and the partial pass must have fallen into the hands of the Chinese army, and the code book of the Imperial Army also fell into the hands of the Chinese people, and Major General Kuroda Shigetoku immediately reported the situation to the headquarters of the Mongolian army. At this point, the infantry of the two squadrons in Baode County, northwest of Shanxi Province, had become lone troops, and Major General Kuroda Shigetoku immediately ordered the defenders of Baode County to immediately retreat in the direction of Wuzhai and join the defenders of Wuzhai.
Fortunately, Major General Kuroda Shigetoku discovered it relatively early, and not long after the Japanese troops in Baode County retreated, Yang Wanlou's headquarters rushed to Baode County. Yang Wanlou, who was in the air, left a cavalry platoon to maintain order, and the rest of the people immediately turned their horses and rushed to Sancha Fort.
At about 4 p.m. on March 16, Yang Wanlou's department completed the westward expansion mission and Han Yunhua successfully joined forces at Sanchabao. Han Yunhua, who had merged into one place, immediately issued a new combat mission, and Yang Wanlou's Third Cavalry Regiment and Tong Jiayong's Fourth Cavalry Regiment formed an eastward advance detachment, with Yang Wanlou as the commander-in-chief and Tong Jiayong as the deputy commander-in-chief. The task of the eastward advance detachment was to encircle and annihilate the cavalry group of Li Shouxin's troops stationed in the vicinity of Shenchi, and was responsible for cutting off the back roads of the devils in Wuzhai and Ningwu. The guard regiment was divided into two, and Yang Hao and Gao Yuan each led one to attack the devil strongholds in Sanchabao, Tianjiayao, Yijing Town, Shankou, and Phoenix Mountain. Before leaving, Yang Hao asked Han Yunqian, who had been promoted to company commander, to lead a company of troops to protect Han Yunhua's safety, Han Yunhua knew that Yang Hao did not dare to let Han Yunqian, the commander's sister-in-law, go to the battlefield, and Han Yunhua didn't want Yang Hao to be embarrassed, so he agreed to his request.
Yang Hao's order can make Han Yunqian angry, although she has a part in every battle, but every time she is at the back of the battlefield, even the company she brought when she charged was in the last batch, and the soldiers who made her have a lot of opinions about her as a company commander. No, as soon as the battle order was issued, Yun Qian, a little girl, ran to the temporary headquarters to find trouble with her brother.
Since the task of Han Yunhua's department was related to whether the 120th Division could capture Wuzhai City, Master He sent Chief of Staff Zhou Shidi back to command the troops to fight, while he himself stayed in the temporary headquarters of Sanchabao.
When Yun Qian came in, Han Yunhua was discussing with Master He the possibility of the troops attacking the devil's strongholds in Sanchabao, Tianjiayao, Yijing Town, Shankou, and Phoenix Mountain.
The leader of the Cheetah Special Operations Squadron came in and reported to Han Yunhua that Yun Qian was looking for him.
Han Yunhua is very fond of this girl, although he is Yun Qian's boss as the commander, but Han Yunhua finds it difficult to achieve the kind of six relatives who do not recognize the distinction between public and private, and his attitude has also had a significant impact on Yang Hao, Gao Yuan and other Yun Qian's top bosses, so until now, Yun Qian, who has been in the army for more than two months, has not really gone to the battlefield to fight with devils.
Han Yunhua took Yun Qian to the temporary headquarters, Han Yunhua poured Yun Qian a glass of water, looked at Yun Qian's angry face and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Who bullied our little princess? ”
Yun Qian said angrily: "Commander, I am now a soldier in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, not your sister-in-law." How can you put our company last before every battle, and we can only watch others eat meat and we can only drink soup with our eyes, so that the soldiers of our company have a lot of opinions about me. ”
At this time, Master He came over and asked, "Xiao Huazi, this little girl is your sister-in-law?" ”
Han Yunhua pointed at Master He and said, "Yun Qian, this is Master He of the 120th Division, you can call him Uncle He." ”
Yun Qian gave Master He a military salute and said, "Report to the chief, Han Yunqian, the commander of the third company of the fourth battalion of the 77th Independent Brigade Guard Regiment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, reports to you." ”
Master He smiled and said, "Just listen to your brother and call me Uncle He." If there is anything you can tell your Uncle He, Uncle He promises to call the shots for you. ”
Yun Qian whispered: "It's nothing, it's just that my brother doesn't let me go to the battlefield, every time I have a combat mission, our company either stays behind in the rear or protects the chief, anyway, there is no chance to go to the battlefield to fight the devil head-on." ”
Master He suddenly understood, it seemed that Han Yunhua didn't want the only sister to go to the front line, Master He secretly said in his heart: "Xiao Huazi is a tiger general on the battlefield, but he doesn't know how to deal with emotional matters, and he is still a young man after all." ”
Master He smiled at Yun Qian and said, "It's that your brother didn't handle it properly, but why didn't your brother let you go to the battlefield?" ”
Yun Qian said: "Afraid of me... Afraid of me..."
Master He said: "In the final analysis, your brother is not at ease with you, if I have a sister-in-law, I will not let him go to the battlefield." If you want to go to the battlefield and face to face with the devil, then you have to have the strength to reassure your brother, right? ”
Han Yunqian turned her head to look at Han Yunhua, lowered her head and thought about it again, and then asked, "Brother, is what Uncle He said true?" Is it that as long as I have enough strength, you will put me and my company into battle. ”
Han Yunhua said seriously: "Since Uncle He intercedes with you, then I will promise you that as long as the combat ability of you and your company is recognized by me, I will allow you and your company to accept the most arduous combat mission." ”
Yun Qian asked again: "Then what kind of strength can get your recognition?" ”
"When you return to the base area, I will arrange for you and your company to participate in the daily training of the special combat team, as long as you can complete half of the daily training tasks of the special combat team, I will recognize your strength." Han Yunhua said.
After sending Yun Qian away, Han Yunhua said a little embarrassedly: "Let you laugh, I'm really afraid that she is a girl who has three longs and two shorts on the battlefield, how can I explain to my dead parents and Aunt Lifang who is far away in Yan'an." ”
Master He smiled understandingly and said, "I understand this, if Yun Qian is a boy, if you dare to protect him like this, I will definitely scold you." Okay, don't be so polite, just call me Uncle He like Yun Qian. ”
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the battle to uproot the outlying strongholds of Wuzhai officially began, and it was the first battalion of the guard regiment led by Gao Yuan who attacked the stronghold of Sanchabao. The strongholds on the periphery of Wuzhai are a little different from the devil strongholds in other places, the devil strongholds that Han Yunhua previously uprooted are all a turret and a simple defense line made of sandbags, generally a stronghold is less than a squad of devil defenders at most, and most of the devil strongholds only have one infantry squad of devils.
However, the strongholds on the outskirts of Wuzhai are different, the defenders in these strongholds are no less than a devil of an infantry squadron, and they are also equipped with a heavy machine gun squad and an artillery squad, and the number of automatic firepower is also very large. At the same time, two solid permanent defensive lines were built on the periphery of the Devil's Artillery Tower, and the 120th Division tried to uproot these strongholds many times, but many attacks were repelled by the Devils, and the casualties of the troops were very large.
