Chapter 426: Recovering the Resurrection Family Hall (I)
Ishitani Saburo learned that his troops guarding Santani had repelled the attack of a small force of the New Fourth Army, and he couldn't help but feel reassured. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It seems that without the threat of the main force of the 16th Regiment, his troops are still able to hold the stronghold, but he is extremely disappointed when he thinks that he is a dignified wing commander, but he was ordered by the brigade commander to take an infantry brigade and a wing directly under the wing, and stay in Wangjiadian to encircle and suppress the remnants of the New Fourth Army.
In any case, he is also a dignified imperial soldier, and he also has a record of commanding a brigade to defeat a division of the Chinese army on the battlefield, and he was promoted to the rank of wing commander because of his repeated military exploits on the Chinese battlefield.
Fortunately, I heard from my classmates at the division headquarters that the current operation to encircle and suppress the 16 th Regiment of the New Fourth Army would not last long, and it was said that a public security garrison had been formed and would soon arrive here to take over the defense of this area.
In addition, there is a very secret message. Ishitani Saburo heard from his classmates that Guo Zhenlong's department, which had recently occupied Liu Tianshu's Banqiaoji, was determined to respond to Chairman Wang's call and obey the orders of the Nanjing Nationalist Government.
In other words, Guo Zhenlongbu will become the main force to maintain security in this area.
At present, Guo Zhenlong's department is waiting for supplies, weapons and ammunition to be sent from the direction of Nanjing, and as soon as the troops and equipment are complete, they will quickly go north and take over the defense in the hands of Shigu Saburo.
So at this time, he was unwilling to let his troops disperse and attack, anyway, these scattered New Fourth Army had their own Guo Zhenlong to kill.
That night, Liu Tianshu took the second battalion, the third battalion and the artillery battalion to hurry south in the dark night, and by dawn, they had reached Songwan, which was less than 20 miles away from Liu Ji.
Seeing that the troops were very tired, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered the troops to rest in Songwan Village, and at the same time contacted the political commissar Guo Sizhong by radio.
During the period when the devils swept the base area, Guo Sizhong's political commissar could be said to be exhausted, on the one hand, he wanted to organize local cadres to hide and transfer, and on the other hand, he had to work with Deputy Regiment Commander Liu to command the militia to harass the enemy.
On several occasions during this period, the Devil Sweep Force discovered the transferred villagers, and in order to protect the safe evacuation of the villagers, he had to order the militia squadron to desperately block the attack, and even the guard platoon responsible for defending him entered the battle.
Fortunately, the third company of the fourth battalion arrived in time at this time, and after the third company entered the battle, it repelled the enemy's sweeping force, but the militia squadron suffered more than half of the casualties, and even his guard platoon also suffered a squad of casualties.
To tell the truth, hiding in Tibet during this period was indeed quite troublesome, and what was more serious was that he had to do a good job in the ideological work of local cadres and guerrilla troops; so to speak, he got up early and was greedy for darkness during this period, sleeping for up to three hours a day, and he had no time to take care of the beard on his face.
You must know that the political commissar Guo Sizhong is a very particular person.
When he received a telegram from Liu Tianshu and learned that Liu Tianshu had returned to the base area with the second battalion, the third battalion and the artillery battalion, and was currently north of Liu Ji, Guo Sizhong suddenly felt his eyes wet.
County Magistrate Li, District Magistrate Zhu, and others who were surrounding him saw that Guo Sizhong was in tears after reading the telegram, and District Chief Zhu couldn't help asking: "Political Commissar Guo, what happened." ”
Guo Sizhong took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said excitedly: "Comrades, let me tell you a good news, our main force is back, Commander Guo and they are back, they are in Songwan, five miles to the north, he asked me to tell everyone, that the days of the little devils entrenched in our base area are not long. ”
"Our main force is back? Captain Liu is back? It's great that we don't have to worry about the devils anymore. "The people around me were all excited when they heard the big news.
There are more than 1,000 devils entrenched in the base area, and they are scattered in several places, just this little devil, with Captain Liu, it will be a matter of time before they are eliminated.
Naturally, these cadres who were hiding in the base areas suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
Before Liu Tianshu decided to lead the 2nd and 3rd Battalions north to attack Ningyuan County, he asked Guo Sizhong's political commissar to follow the team escorting the wounded to Zhangbaling to join the 1st Battalion.
Now that the main force has returned, everyone naturally feels that they have a backbone, and according to the instructions of Regiment Commander Liu, these cadres at all levels in the base areas who have withdrawn here immediately move to the northwest and prepare to join the main force of the regiment that has returned.
Liu Tianshu learned that Guo Sizhong was in a small village five miles southwest, and after looking at the map for a while, he asked Guo Sizhong to rush to Tan Village in the northwest with local cadres and the logistics department of the regiment.
It was a small mountain village, and in the following days, Liu Tianshu decided to set up the regiment headquarters in Tan Village.
At noon, Liu Tianshu took the regimental headquarters personnel, under the protection of two platoons of the guard company, to Tancun and met Guo Sizhong, but at this time, Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and Kang Shuidong were still commanding the troops to carry out guerrilla warfare in the south of Sujiatang.
Seeing the dusty political commissar Guo, Liu Tianshu turned over and dismounted, strode over, grabbed the hand of the political commissar Guo Sizhong, and said guiltily: "Old Guo, you have worked hard during this time. ”
"Commander Liu, if you want to say that it is hard, you are fighting outside, then it is hard, you don't know, how happy you are to receive the news that you have successfully recovered Ningyuan County."
When Guo Sizhong said this, County Magistrate Li, District Magistrate Zhu and others also looked at Liu Tianshu and them excitedly.
After talking outside the door for a while, everyone went into the house and began to tell each other about their respective situations during this time.
After Sanguba, Wangjiadian, Sujiatang and Majiaji were occupied by the enemy one after another, the enemy tried to persuade people to go back while building fortifications around these towns, and said that the imperial army came to China to establish a Greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere, and as long as everyone listened to the imperial army, the imperial army would ensure the safety of the common people, and so on.
Despite the efforts of the local cadres to persuade them, some of the people returned to the town.
Liu Tianshu listened to the speeches of these cadres, but his mind was thinking about a problem that Guo Sizhong's political commissar had inadvertently mentioned just now, that is, after the Japanese army occupied the base area, it did not take action against Guo Zhenlong's department, which took the opportunity to occupy Banqiaoji.
When Liu Tianshu heard the news, he couldn't help but think of the report that the detachment had transferred down, saying that Wang Jingwei had established a puppet Nationalist government in Nanjing, and it seemed that many Kuomintang generals responded. Quite a number of troops operating behind enemy lines changed their banners and decided to obey the orders of the puppet Nationalist Government in Nanjing.
Could it be that this Guo Zhenlong also decided to take refuge in the Nanjing puppet Nationalist Government?
After talking with County Magistrate Li, District Magistrate Zhu and others for a while, Liu Tianshu politely sent a few people out of the house, and then sat at the table with Guo Sizhong.
"Political Commissar Guo, the main force of the Miura Tadaji Brigade has already gone north, and I estimate that even if he knows that we have returned to the base area, he should not move south again. After all, our 16th Regiment is only a small force, and we can't afford to put the huge imperial army here for us, just now you mentioned Guo Zhenlong, I have an ominous premonition in my heart, and we still have to be vigilant about this matter. Liu Tianshu handed a cigarette to Guo Sizhong and said in a low voice.
"Are you saying that Guo Zhenlong may defect to the enemy?" Guo Si was taken aback in the center.
"Yes, if my expectations are right, Guo Zhenlong should already be hugging the thigh of Chairman Wang in Nanjing, I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome, Guo Zhenlong is very familiar with the situation in this area, if there is Japanese support behind it, it will be a big trouble." Liu Tianshu said contemplatively.
"Well, you have a point, but now that he has not played the banner of the surname Wang, we can't do anything to him for the time being." Worry also rose on Guo Sizhong's face.
"Regardless of him, while Miura Tadaji still doesn't know that we have returned to the base area, we must take action and give the devil a few beats, Ishiya Saburo, the executioner of the Maowan Bloody Case, can't let him go if anything." Liu Tianshu gritted his teeth and said.
After the two discussed, they decided to concentrate their forces first to eliminate the enemy occupying Sujiatang, as for Liu Ji's Imperial Army, Liu Tianshu finally decided to let it go for the time being, anyway, this Imperial Army, if Liu Ji is not withdrawn, he can eat it at any time.
And the elimination of Sujiatang's enemies will cut off the connection between Wangjiadian and Majiaji.
Of course, in order to prevent the devils of Majiaji from sending troops to reinforce, Liu Tianshu decided to let the first battalion dispatch two companies to make the appearance of attacking Majiaji, and at the same time, ordered Kang Shuidong's four battalions to concentrate two companies between Wangjiadian and Sujiatang to prevent the enemy of Wangjiadian from coming to reinforce.
This time, in order to eliminate the enemy in Sujiatang, Liu Tianshu decided to let the third battalion attack Sujiatang, and at the same time, the artillery battalion fully cooperated. As for the second battalion, because the company that carried out the feint mission was still trapped in Qingyangling, Liu Tianshu ordered Xie Pingcai, with all the troops of the second battalion, to quietly bypass Maowan Town and lurk near Wangjiadian.
If the devil sends troops to reinforce Sujiatang, he will ambush the devil's reinforcements together with the four battalions.
Saburo Ishiya had a squadron of Japanese troops in Sujiatang and a battalion of the Imperial Army. Among them, a small squad of the Japanese army defended in the north mountain of Sujiatang, and the Imperial Association Army was guarded on the southeast and west sides of Sujiatang. There were also two squads of Japanese troops in the town.
After receiving the order, Ou Biaofei immediately convened a meeting of the cadres of the whole battalion, company and platoon to study the attack on Sujiatang.
Ou Biaofei's third battalion was originally stationed in Sujiatang, and they were naturally very familiar with the terrain there, and when they heard that the regiment commander had given them the task of recovering Fujiatang and asked the artillery battalion to cooperate, these cadres shouted excitedly.
After you said your thoughts word by word, Eurofly finally determined the battle plan.
The 1st Company was responsible for attacking the North Hill position, the 2nd Company was responsible for attacking the town from the south, the two platoons of the Machine Gun Company were responsible for the coordinated operation, and the 3rd Company was responsible for feints to the east and west.
The two militia squadrons that cooperated with the operation were left in the reserve by Ou Biaofei and pinched in the hands, and the reconnaissance platoon closely monitored the movements of the enemy in Majiaji. (To be continued.) )
