Chapter 279: Long Distance Attack (1)

"Tianshu, what is your opinion on the troop reorganization plan?" At the headquarters of the new 1st Brigade in Sanlidi, north of Pingyuan Town, Jiang Jinyong motioned for Liu Tianshu to sit down and asked calmly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Hong Feihu, the commander of the new 1st Brigade, has not returned from the division headquarters, and Political Commissar Jiang is temporarily in charge of all work at the brigade headquarters.

The brigade headquarters of the new 1st Brigade was not located in Pingyuan Town, but in Xishui Village, which was three miles away from the town.

"Political commissar, I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders, and I am happy that a new brigade has been established in the division." Liu Tianshu said with a smile.

Although after his independent regiment was reorganized into the new Second Regiment, the brigade headquarters not only transferred its three battalions to the third regiment, but also placed the machine gun battalion under the direct jurisdiction of the brigade headquarters, he was still glad that in this way, the strength of the Fuyashan and Rongshan base areas would be greatly increased, and it would be more beneficial to the development of the entire base area.

As for the decline in the strength of the second regiment led by himself, he didn't take it to heart, as long as he was given a chance, it was only a matter of time before the troops grew stronger.

"I'm relieved that you can think like that. Tianshu, I know that you have spent too much effort in the Fuyashan Independent Regiment, and you have deep feelings for this unit. Our troops are party troops and must be absolutely subordinate to the party's leadership. The decision to set up the new 1st Brigade this time was made by the division headquarters after careful study by the commander, and the Rongsan Independent Regiment suffered very serious losses in the last anti-sweeping operation, and the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops needed to be improved. Your independent regiment is the strongest among the three regiments, and even one regiment may not be able to compare, and transferring your three battalions to the third regiment can strengthen the strength of the Rongshan side......" Jiang Jinyong said earnestly, as if the division commander was earnestly teaching his beloved students.

After knowing Liu Tianshu's thoughts, Jiang Jinyong was very happy, and he told Liu Tianshu to do a good job in troop training when he went back, and train the Second Regiment into a division of steel, a division of tigers and wolves, and a heroic unit that made the enemy terrified when he heard the wind.

Subsequently, the political commissars of each regiment immediately convened a meeting of cadres at all levels to convey the spirit of the instructions given by their superiors and strengthen political study. The first regiment was the old Eighth Route Regiment, and it had always done a good job in ideological and political work, and in addition, it stayed in Pingyuan Town, so it was naturally responsible for the task of monitoring the enemy, so that the second regiment could have ample time for rectification and training.

Political Commissar Liao Zhifeng is a veteran cadre, and although he was originally a military cadre, he is also very good at political work. With Liu Tianshu's support, the officers and men of the Second Regiment had that little problem in their hearts, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Hong Feihu arrived at the Xishui Village Brigade Headquarters ten days later, and as soon as he came back, he immediately called Liu Tianshu over.

"Brigadier Commander, are you looking for me?" As soon as Liu Tianshu entered the brigade headquarters, he saluted Hong Feihu and said loudly.

"Liu Tianshu is here, sit down." Hong Feihu motioned for him to sit down on the side, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed one to Liu Tianshu, after the two of them lit it and took a deep breath, he swept Liu Tianshu with his eyes and said, "Tianshu, I have heard what the political commissar said about the reorganization of the army, you have done a good job." I came to you this time because I have a mission for your second regiment. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a task, Liu Tianshu suddenly became happy: "What task?" Brigade commander, you don't know, there is no war for a month, and the fighters are itching all over. ”

As the New Year approaches, the Second Regiment has been staying in the base area since its training. The fighters were suffocated.

"I know that you are a warmonger, and when you hear that there is a mission, your eyes will shine." Hong Feihu couldn't help but smile, how did he see and love Liu Tianshu's subordinates.

You must know that when he took the eastward advance team to Shandong, Liu Tianshu was just a company commander, but his small company commander, after more than half a year's effort, he forcibly brought out a regiment of tiger and wolf divisions, and his achievements not only made the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters amazed, but also the head of Yan'an, and also knew that there was a Liu Tianshu in Fuya Mountain who was very capable of fighting.

This time to set up a new brigade, some people also proposed to make him the deputy brigade commander, but in the end, he was vetoed by Political Commissar Luo. Political Commissar Luo said that Liu Tianshu's participation in the revolution was too short, and if he rashly mentioned an important post, it would not be conducive to his growth, and he should be beaten and beaten again.

It was to draw a battalion from Liu Tianshu's independent regiment to support the Rongshan Independent Regiment and make the machine gun battalion directly subordinate to the brigade, which was also the meaning of Political Commissar Luo.

Fortunately, Liu Tianshu agreed to this plan without saying a word, which made Hong Feihu's original heart relax all of a sudden.

"Hehe, brigade commander, you know who I am, but I can't be idle." Liu Tianshu raised his hand embarrassedly and scratched his head.

"Tianshu, that's the case, after the main force arrived in Shandong, there were difficulties in the supply of the troops, and now it is the middle of winter, but the winter clothing of many troops has not been solved, even the food, there is also a big shortage. Your second regiment is familiar with the situation here, and also has experience in ambushing devil trains, the division headquarters decided to let us draw troops to ambush devils to transport supplies, I will give this task to your second regiment, do you have the confidence to complete the task? ”

"No problem, Brigadier Commander, is it just that we are in charge of the intelligence aspect ourselves?" Liu Tianshu asked cautiously.

Although the brigade headquarters of his reconnaissance brigade did not move, its main task was only to conduct tactical reconnaissance, and it did not involve intelligence work for the time being.

"You can rest assured about this, the time of the train, the quantity and type of materials, and the number of troops escorted, etc., I will hand it over to you at that time, and your main task at present is to make a battle plan." Hong Feihu looked at him and said.

"Okay, I'll go back and make a plan, and I'll hand it over to you tomorrow." Liu Tianshu agreed.

"Remember, this is highly confidential." Hong Feihu admonished and asked Liu Tianshu to go back.

Ambushing the devil's train, Liu Tianshu had done this before, but he knew that after a group arrived in Pingyuan Town, the devils in Fuchang County strengthened the protection of the railway. Not long ago, all the trees in the 50-meter area on both sides of the railway line were cut down, even those small hills, and they were cut off as much as possible, and even forcibly recruited people to build roads on both sides of the railway.

Suffice it to say, it is now very difficult to quietly approach the railway.

What made Liu Tianshu frown even more was that when the devil was transporting important materials, he would mobilize the Imperial Association Army and the pseudo-police to intensively protect them along the railway, basically achieving three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

Unless the Eighth Route Army forcibly attacked, it would not be able to get close at all. And if it is forcibly attacked, in less than half an hour, not only the devil's ironclad patrol car will arrive, but even the chariot equipped not long ago will also arrive.

Liu Tianshu studied the map for a long time, and finally gave up his plan to ambush the train in Fuchang County.

If you can't ambush it in Fuchang County, what about it in Jinyang County?

After Liu Tianshu took a closer look, he dispelled the idea of ambushing in Jinyang County, the devils in Jinyang County are similar to the defense of the devils in Fuchang County, and if they are not careful, they will be entangled by the devils.

Thinking about it, Liu Tianshu set his eyes on the territory of Changle, which is less than 50 kilometers away from Qingdao.

According to the intelligence of the brigade headquarters, most of the military goods of the devils are transported from the northeast or the mainland, except for food, and of course, cloth and cotton clothes are also produced in Qingdao, after all, Qingdao's textile industry is very developed.

Changle is very close to Qingdao, it can be said that it is under the nose of the devils, except for a small group of guerrillas in that area, there is no activity of the Eighth Route Army at all, and the devils' precautions are not strict.

It's just that once he succeeds, he still has to use his brains on the question of how to retreat.

After a night of careful study, Liu Tianshu finally worked out a battle plan and personally sent it to the brigade headquarters the next day for approval by the brigade commander.

Hong Feihu couldn't help but look at Liu Tianshu in surprise when he saw that Liu Tianshu had set the ambush site in Changle.

"Brigade commander, I think about it this way, Fuchang and Jinyang are both areas where the devils focus on prevention, the vigilance of the devils is very high, we are not easy to succeed at all, and even if the ambush is successful, we will face the siege of the devil's heavy troops, and Changle is less than fifty kilometers away from Qingdao, and the devils never dreamed that we would do it there. I studied it carefully, this section of the railway is only fifteen miles away from the mountains of Changle, as long as we quickly retreat into the mountains after we succeed, if the devils want to catch us, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky. The biggest difficulty with this plan is how to get the supplies back. Liu Tianshu looked at Hong Feihu and said seriously.

"The matter of sending supplies can be handed over to local comrades and asked them to organize the people to help. In this way, you put the plan here and immediately send people to conduct field reconnaissance in that area. I report to the division and then decide when to act. Hong Feihu thought for a while and said.

According to the information obtained from the inside, the devil's materials would not be transported to Jinan until half a month later at the earliest, so he asked Liu Tianshu to conduct field reconnaissance first.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, Liu Tianshu told Political Commissar Liao that he would take Shi Qiang and Chen Jian out on a special mission, and Political Commissar Liao would be in charge of the regiment.

When Liao Zhifeng heard that it was a task personally explained by the brigade commander, he nodded and agreed without asking too much, but when he parted, he asked them to be more careful.

Liu Tianshu took Shi Qiang and Chen Jian, disguised himself as a wealthy businessman, quietly entered the Jinyang County Railway Station, and then bought a ticket to get on the ticket train from Jinan to Qingdao.

After the devils occupied Shandong, there were not only freight trains running on the Jiaoji Railway, but also ticket cars running. It's just that if you want to get on the ticket bus, you have to show your ID when you buy a ticket.

Liu Tianshu is a master of making fake documents, this time the identity of the three is a businessman who went to Qingdao from Jinan to negotiate a business, Shi Qiang and Chen Jian are naturally Liu Tianshu's entourage.

As soon as the three of them got on the train, they followed the passengers into the carriages and saw that there was a Japanese in charge of order in each carriage, but although the Japanese were wearing uniforms, they were not soldiers.

After finding a place to sit down, Jian Chen put aside the leather bag he was carrying, and stared at the surroundings vigilantly with a pair of eyes. (To be continued.) )
