Chapter 51: Taierzhuang's Great Victory
Now that you have a plan, it's all easy. Gao Quan carefully read this plan, and it was quite decent, and he gave a very detailed explanation of the resettlement sites and evacuation steps of the people in Linyi City, and it can be seen that the city government officials who made this plan still have a good understanding of the situation in Linyi and its surroundings.
Since they have done it very carefully, then just do it. From the morning of the third day, the citizens of Linyi City began to evacuate to the surrounding towns. Naturally, there are gangs and underground forces in every city, and although these people are not very satisfied with the relocation of the city, they will not openly engage in any resistance. Is there a villain who can be more vicious than the soldiers of the Independent Brigade?
More than 100,000 people in the city left the city where their ancestors had lived for generations. The loss of property in the relocation is inevitable, as long as the life can be saved, everything else is within the scope of high all-round tolerance. Nail household? In front of the soldiers of the Independent Brigade who were loaded with guns and full of gangsterism, there were no nail households at all. Of course, there are a few cases where they were maimed and killed by barbaric law enforcers because they really couldn't leave their homeland. As Gao Quan said, all these disasters are brought to us by devils, in addition to killing a few more little devils on the battlefield and saving the lives of a few more Chinese people, we can try our best to make our suffering nation suffer a little less, even if it is worthy of heaven and earth.
When the people of the city moved, Gao Quan began to calculate how to fight the little devils. The number of soldiers is not as good as that of devils, the firepower is not as good as that of devils, and the quality of soldiers is also inferior to that of devils, how can this battle be fought? Is it really necessary to win the battle with a strong will, as some books say? He didn't think he had what it took at all. In the end, except for the destruction of the city and the casualties of the whole brigade, there is no second way out.
There are many strategies that can win more with less. The terrain is the most fundamental one, and Linyi City does not have it at all, except for a Yishui, which is a horse and a flat river, which is just right for the mechanized corps of the devil. In addition, the most powerful is the water attack and fire attack strategy, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has had many actual battles of fire attack strategy, fire Bowang, fire Xinye, fire Chibi, and finally fire Liu Bei's joint venture, it can be said that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a book specializing in fire attack strategy. What's in Linyi? Do you want Gao Quan to set Linyi City on fire? Until the last moment, he categorically would not do it. The thousand-year-old city was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the crime was not small.
In order to fight the Japanese invaders, Gao Quan made many preparations. First of all, he put a lot of poison near the water source in the city, and his first poison plan was to pollute the water source! Secondly, a large number of barricades were dug up on the main streets of the city, turning the good city streets into battlefields completely. In addition to the soldiers can venture through, the devil's tanks and heavy artillery are not to think about spending time in the city. As for the fire attack, of course, Gao Quan also made some preparations, such as the gunpowder and oil in the brigade were supervised by a special person, which means that he has the last moment to prepare for the devil to burn the city together.
Linyi City is adjacent to Yishui, and this is how the name Linyi came from. Yishui was a famous river in ancient times, and now after seeing the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, of course, you won't feel how wide this river is. It is now the beginning of April, the rain is pitiful, and the shallow section of the Yishui River can be waded through, and it is too difficult to use water attack.
On April 3, news came from the headquarters of the commander of the theater that Chief Li ordered that our army in the fifth theater launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army! On the 7th, after the commander of the Tang Corps repelled the Sakamoto detachment at a heavy price, the whole army returned to Taierzhuang, and the Second Army and other units took advantage of the situation to counterattack the Devil Segu detachment. Under the brave and tenacious attack of our soldiers, the Segu detachment, which had been fighting continuously for many days, was mostly annihilated, and the remnants retreated in the direction of Yicheng and Zaozhuang. In this battle, our army annihilated most of the Segu detachment and one part of the Sakamoto detachment, totaling more than 10,000 people, and achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang!
After the news of our army's victory reached Linyi, the Third Army held a grand celebration banquet. Since the officials and gentry in the city had moved away with the people, the celebration banquet was dominated by the officers and soldiers of the Third Legion, and the representatives of Linyi City were only the police chief and a group of policemen under him. Because he was not familiar with the terrain in Linyi City, especially the location of the water source, Gao Quan asked Director Yang to stay with some of his policemen. In any case, these people can be regarded as people who have touched guns, and there are still dozens of guns in the gun arsenal of the police station, and even if the Japanese kill them, the police can directly participate in the battle.
Director Yang knew that Gao Quan would not let him go, he must be uneasy and kind, and he must be beating the idea of these policemen under him, but even if he knew, what could he do? At this juncture of the all-people war of resistance, since the police are also one of the national armed forces, what right does they have to refuse to go to the front? Director Yang met Gao Quan is completely lost temper, and Gao Quan forcibly let the people of Linyi City move the city to relocate such a big evil thing, and reported it to the provincial capital, even the war zone, and finally it was over, I heard that the Chief Li just reprimanded Gao Quan in the telegram, neither removed nor dealt with, and the thousands of soldiers were still stationed in Linyi.
How did he know that Chief Li had been having a headache for Gao Quan for a long time. Just because this ringing horse force could not be arranged, the commander-in-chief Wei was told to the front of the commission! This time, Chief Li found the defendant. Gao Quan was originally the commander of the Ninth Army, which was subordinate to the Fourteenth Group Army. Wei Lihuang, who is the commander of the group army, is called reinforcements, and he is really making trouble! As soon as the nearby bandit Xiangma was collected, he changed into a military uniform, and sent him directly! That is, Pang Bingxun, an old fool, took in such a group of thieves and gave him to the Ministry of Military Affairs to ask for merit and reward.
In this regard, the opinion of the committee is to let Chief Li decide to do it himself. What can Chief Li do? Even if he shot Gao Quan, what would happen to the thousands of bandits? Who will guard Linyi City? And what army would be willing to take the blame for this wrong? Fifty-ninth Army? The 59th Army is his general reserve, how can it be pressed all the way to Linyi? Besides, after two battles of Linyi, the 59th Army also suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the troops were lost. There is no way, in order to stabilize Gao Quan and the gang of thieves under him and ensure the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang, there is only a call to reprimand.
In the large conference room of Linyi City Hall, Pang Bingxun raised his glass and delivered an enthusiastic toast, and all the officers and police officers present applauded unanimously. In order to show that the police and the army are close to each other, all the officers and policemen sat together with flowers. In addition to Director Yang by Gao Quan's side, there was also a thin policeman who attracted Gao Quan's attention. It's not that this person is handsome, but that he accidentally saw a buttercloth umbrella leaning on the side of the chair where the thin policeman was sitting, which aroused Gao Quan's interest. Today is a good time when the sun is shining and the sky is clear, what is this person doing with an umbrella when he comes to a celebration party? Is there any mystery in this umbrella?
