Chapter 504: Military Council
After sending Shi Qiang and others to Shanghai, Liu Tianshu and Jiang Jinyong began to think about how to recover Changxing and Si'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the devil occupied Changxing, he left a brigade and a regiment of puppet troops to be responsible for guarding, however, probably worried that the New Fourth Army would attack Changxing, the devils strengthened the defense of Xia Yuji in the north of Changxing, and after the Fujimoto Wing withdrew to Wuxi, a brigade was left in Xia Yucun, and a battalion of puppet troops was also left.
As for the wharf in Xia Yucun, it was also repaired by the Japanese army, and a small wharf that could dock steamboats was built.
Of course, the people of Xia Yu Village, after the battle, after the persuasion of some traitors, still returned to Xia Yu Village, after all, it was their own native place.
Of course, those local cadres who were exposed naturally did not go back.
After the people returned to Xia Yu Village, the whole village began to come to life.
In order to strengthen the control of Changxing, the devil forcibly conscripted the people, built the road from Xia Yucun to Changxing, in addition, the road from Changxing to Huzhou City was also repaired, and at the same time, the devil also built a small artillery tower every five miles along the highway.
The tricks played by the devils in these areas occupied by them were all sent to the headquarters of the independent division, and Liu Tianshu couldn't help but fall into contemplation when he saw that the devils were constantly strengthening the roads between Changxing, Huzhou, Xiayucun, Yixing, Si'an, Guangde and Xuanzhou, and also equipped with mobile troops.
"Political commissar, it seems that the devil is determined to trap us in Tianmu Mountain this time." Liu Tianshu looked at the Japanese stronghold on the sand table, and a trace of depression flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, Tianshu, don't say it, the devil's trick is very vicious, you see Changxing, Xia Yucun, Huzhou, Si'an, Guangde and Xuanzhou, the devils have built strong fortifications, no matter which place we attack, the devils can rely on the fortifications to wait for help, and with the completion of the highway, the devils use cars to transport troops, and the reinforcements can be reached in four hours. In addition, the devils have also set up a joint defense system in various villages, and once the New Fourth Army is discovered, they will immediately hear the gong and warn them, and it will become more and more difficult for our troops to carry out their activities in this area. Jiang Jinyong was also worried.
This time, after the devils occupied the northwest part of Zhejiang, they changed their previous ferocity and vigorously bought the hearts of the people, and at the same time established a joint defense and armor protection system.
And the various strongholds arranged along the highway seem to be the touch of the devil's nerves, and only when the New Fourth Army touches it, it will cause the entire neural network to react quickly.
Huzhou and Guangde devils each deployed a mobile unit with two brigades, and it is said that they also cooperated with tanks. It can be said that once it encounters an attack by the New Fourth Army, the devils can immediately send reinforcements.
"Call Sun Xuexuan." Liu Tianshu stared at the map and thought for a long time, then turned his head and shouted to Lei Yong outside the door.
The confidential room is not far from the command room, and Sun Xuexuan spends most of the time in the confidential room.
"Commander, you called me?" After a while, Sun Xuexuan came in from outside the door.
"Xue Xuan, I have heard you say that the devils sent a lot of plainclothes to try to enter my Tianmu Mountain to spy on intelligence, and in addition, outside Tianmu Mountain, the devils have also established an intelligence network, what are the details of this matter, you tell me and the political commissar." A few days ago, Sun Xuexuan told Liu Tianshu that he had discovered that the enemy had stepped up intelligence gathering work, which had seriously affected the activities of our intelligence personnel in going out of the mountains.
After Sun Xuexuan heard this, he immediately explained the situation.
"In this way, Deputy Chief of Staff Sun, immediately dispatch troops to try to destroy the intelligence network of the devils, and at the same time increase the anti-special work in the base areas, send elite troops, form an armed task force to go deep behind enemy lines, carry out an anti-traitor campaign, and send special squads to attack the enemy's strongholds, especially the devil officers, and even mercilessly kill them." Liu Tianshu thought about it, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
Although the Changxing area was originally the base area of the independent division and had a certain mass base, now the devils are vigorously engaged in the policy of buying people's hearts, and if the independent division does not take action again, I am afraid that the consequences will be worrying.
"Yes, I'll go and set it up." When Sun Xuexuan heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
As the Independent Division sent more than 10 small units deep behind enemy lines and began to pull out strongholds and fight to eliminate traitors and attack devils' transportation lines, the entire northwest of Zhejiang was once again in flames of war.
However, the dispatch of elite soldiers and strong generals from various units to go deep behind enemy lines and wage war behind enemy lines is only a necessary means, and in order to completely open up the anti-Japanese situation in western Zhejiang, it is necessary to give the devils a few ruthless blows.
Anyway, at this time, the Japanese army was concentrating its forces for the Battle of Changsha, that is, the 142nd Division stationed in the Xuancheng area, and its main force also left Xuancheng three days ago and went to the front line of Changsha via Wuhu.
Receiving the strength of the Japanese army leaving only one wing in Guangde, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that the devil saw that the New Fourth Army had not moved in the past two months, and thought that the independent division had changed to a vegetarian diet.
In the afternoon of that day, the military commanders of the 21st Brigade, the 22nd Brigade, and the New 7th Brigade gathered at the division headquarters, which is located 30 miles north of Shitian County.
"To the Chief of Staff, I would like to introduce to you the current situation between us and the enemy." Liu Tianshu was concise and to the point as usual, straight to the point.
"Comrades, according to the information we have received, the two wings of the 142nd Division of the Japanese Army left Xuanzhou four days ago and arrived at the front line of Wuhu. After these two wings left Xuanzhou, the Japanese army in Guangde lost its support. At present, there is only one wing of the Japanese army in the Guangde area, two of which are mobile units, and there is also a brigade of puppet troops. At present, there are two squadrons of the Japanese army in Si'an, one brigade of the Japanese army in Changxing, two squadrons of the Japanese army in Xiayucun, and one wing of the Japanese army on the front line in Huzhou. Two of the brigades were mobile units of the Japanese army and were well equipped. There was no change in the Japanese army in the direction of Wukang for the time being. "Xiang Luo Quan introduced the enemy's situation on the map.
Knowing that the two wings of the 142nd Division and the troops directly under the division had withdrawn from Xuanzhou and headed north, Tong Guijie, Xie Pingcai, and Hao Mengxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
You must know that some time ago, the Japanese army was equipped with mobile troops with two brigades in Guangde and Huzhou, and the main force of the 142nd Division in Xuanzhou, and at the same time, the Japanese troops in various towns were in full position to firmly block the independent division in Tianmu Mountain, and the Japanese army in Linchuan, southeast of Ishida, also gathered heavy troops.
Fortunately, the New Seventh Brigade captured Wukang, which increased the room for the independent division to maneuver a lot.
Seeing that everyone was excited, Liu Tianshu smiled, looked at everyone and said: "Comrades, everyone has been suffocated during this time, especially Xie Pingcai, your brigade has not been able to catch a battle, I'm afraid my hands are itchy." Comrade Pingcai, tell me what you think. ”
Unlike the New Seventh Brigade, which not only ambushed the Japanese transport convoy at Akita Dam, but also attacked the Japanese military airfield and blew up more than 10 planes.
Subsequently, the New Seventh Brigade and the Twenty-first Brigade cooperated to recover Wukang County and eliminate the enemy in Xiaqiaoji.
It can be said that since the devils launched a large-scale attack, the New 7th Brigade and the 21st Brigade have won many battles. The cadres of these two brigades saw the people of the 22nd Brigade with a sense of pride on their faces.
"Division commander, since the main force of the 142nd Division has been withdrawn, I think the time is ripe to recover Guangde, you give the task to our 22nd Brigade, and we promise to complete the task." Xie Pingcai's eyes shone brightly.
The three regiments of his 22nd Brigade are now all located on the north side of Tianmu Mountain, the closest to Guangde, and the whole brigade is holding back a fire in his belly, so he naturally has to take the initiative to ask for help.
"Hehe, Comrade Xie Pingcai is brave and commendable, and the others will tell us what you think." Liu Tianshu smiled and was noncommittal.
Tong Guijie knew that if the division commander was determined to fight Guangde, the 22nd Brigade would naturally be the most suitable, and his 21st Brigade and 65th Regiment had been rebuilt, and now they were all east of Tianmu Mountain.
According to his understanding of the division commander, he knew that the division commander would not have only one Guangde, and the loss of Changxing City was definitely a pain that the division commander could not describe.
"Division commander, since the main force of the devil has been withdrawn, I think Changxing and Si'an should also be recovered, and the villagers there are looking forward to our independent division fighting back, otherwise, give us the task of attacking Changxing to our 21st Brigade, and I promise to take Changxing back for you." Tong Guijie looked at Liu Tianshu and Political Commissar Jiang and said.
Hao Mengxuan knew that his 74th and 71st regiments were currently defending Wukang, and the battle in the north would not be his turn at all, so he kept his head and did not speak.
After the 72nd Regiment of the New Seventh Brigade left for Siming Mountain, with the cooperation of the local organization, it had gained a firm foothold, but listening to the meaning of the division, the 72nd Regiment was very likely to be changed to an independent regiment, and the New 7th Brigade was reorganized into the 72nd Regiment.
Seeing that everyone had said what they thought, Liu Tianshu glanced at each other with Political Commissar Jiang, Chief of Staff Xiang, and Deputy Division Commander Zhang, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone is right, our independent division has rested for such a long time, and it is time to come out to practice and practice. Tong Guijie, your 21st Brigade is responsible for destroying the enemies in Changxing and Xia Yucun. However, you must be prepared to prevent enemy reinforcements in Huzhou, and all the county brigades and armed work teams behind enemy lines operating in that area will be under your command for the time being. The battle plan will be submitted to the division headquarters for examination and approval within tomorrow. ”
"The division commander, the political commissar, the twenty-first brigade guarantees the completion of the task." Tong Guijie heard that the division commander had given the task of eliminating the enemies of Changxing and Xia Yucun to the 21st Brigade, and immediately said excitedly.
"Xie Pingcai, your 22nd Brigade is responsible for destroying the enemy in Guangde and Si'an, and the battle plan will be reported to the division headquarters tomorrow. The New 7th Brigade was responsible for monitoring the enemy in the direction of Hangzhou and Linchuan. The divisional artillery battalion coordinated with the 21st Brigade and the 22nd Brigade. Liu Tianshu gave an order directly.
After the meeting, the cadres of the 21st and 22nd Brigades left the division headquarters in high spirits and returned to the unit to make a battle plan.
Hao Mengxuan was left behind by Liu Tianshu.
"Meng Xuan, the division has decided to eliminate the enemy in the north this time and recover Changxing and Si'an, and your brigade is responsible for staying in the south to monitor the enemy, what do you think?" Liu Tianshu motioned for Hao Mengxuan to sit down, and after taking a sip of water, he looked at him and smiled.
"Commander, I listen to you, and I will do what you say. Besides, our new Seventh Brigade is all in the south, so you won't be willing to go far. Hao Mengxuan smiled honestly.
At this moment, Sun Xuexuan walked in with a telegram and a nervous expression. (To be continued.) )
