Chapter 26, On the Road
The southern front operation was in full swing in the Huaibei area of Bengbu, and the counterattack was also carried out in the southern Lunan area of the northern front......
In early February, the 22nd Army received an order to attack the enemy in Zou County, and Sun Zhen immediately began to prepare. (Note: The 22nd Group Army is the Sichuan Army, and the commander-in-chief is Deng Xihou.) In January 1938, Liu Xiang, director of the Sichuan Kang appeasement, died, and Deng was ordered to return to Sichuan to succeed him. Sun Zhen, deputy commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army, acted commander-in-chief. There are 2 subordinate armies, both of which are type B armies. There are 16 infantry regiments in the whole group army, with no special arms and troops, totaling about 40,000 people. The equipment is outdated, and the main weapons are Sichuan-made 7.9mm rifles and grenades, and only a small number of Sichuan-made light machine guns and mortars. Originally, there was a shortage of soldiers, and from October to December 1937, they suffered heavy losses in the battle of Jinnan, losing more than half of their troops, and the formation of the two armies was incomplete. Before the transfer to the Fifth Theater, in December, a reorganization was carried out in the Lishi and Zhaocheng areas of Shanxi, and two regiments of each brigade were combined into one combat regiment. When the Fifth Theater was transferred, each army still had 2 divisions, 4 brigades, and 8 regiments on the number, but in fact only 4 regiments had the strength of the troops, and the total strength of the entire group army did not exceed 20,000. Because the division was too attritional and poorly equipped, it was unable to organize a large-scale offensive, so the 737th Brigade of the 125th Division was ordered to attack Liangxiadian from the Jiehe River, and the 575th Regiment of the 127th Brigade was ordered to advance to Zouxian and Qufu to carry out guerrilla attacks and harass in the enemy's rear.
On February 14, the 737th Brigade took the 746th Regiment and hundreds of people from the local Anti-Japanese Red Gun Society as the main attack, and the 745th Regiment occupied the railway and Guoshan as cover. The 746th Regiment ordered the 3rd Battalion to carry out a night attack on Liangxiadian. Both attacks were repulsed. On the afternoon of the 16th, the 1st and 2nd battalions carried out a strong attack, with the 3rd battalion as the reserve. After fierce fighting, they stormed into the village in the evening and occupied two buildings. However, under the heavy fire of the Japanese army, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and they were forced to break through before dawn and retreat to Guoshan. At 14 o'clock on the 17th, the Japanese troops began to counterattack. After repeated battles, the 737th Brigade retreated to the line of Xiangcheng and Puyang Mountain on the 18th and confronted the Japanese army.
The 575th Regiment, which was ordered to infiltrate the enemy's rear, advanced to the Jiulong Mountain area south of Qufu on February 11 with the active cooperation and support of the local anti-Japanese armed forces and the people. On the 14th, near Xiaoxue Village and Jicun on both sides of the highway from Zou County to Qufu, two groups of Japanese troops were eliminated in ambush battles, 4 cars were destroyed, and 1 major general officer and more than 30 soldiers of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army were killed. On the 15th, the Japanese army attacked from Qufu and Zouxian. The 575th Regiment withdrew eastward to Tianhuang Town, about 16 kilometers away from Zou County, and then returned to the Tengxian defense area and returned to the formation.
Pang Bingxun's 3rd Army Corps was transferred from Haizhou to Linyi in early February 1938, and was assembled and deployed in the middle of the year. The Japanese 5th Division captured Mengyin and Yishui on January 4 and Weixian on the 10th. On the same day, the Japanese navy landed and occupied Qingdao. At this time, Zhucheng was also occupied by the Japanese army, and the 3rd Army Corps was unable to carry out offensive operations and built fortifications to guard in the direction of Mengyin, Yishui, and Zhucheng.
On February 21, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, in accordance with the instructions of the chief of staff of the army on the 17th to cooperate with the operation of the 10th Division with one detachment and advance to the Yizhou side, sent the 21st Wing of the 21st Brigade from Weixian to attack Juxian by car. At that time, there were only Liu Zhendong's first guerrillas and Shen Honglie's marines in the Juxian area, and their strength was insufficient. The Fifth Theater then telegraphed and ordered the 40th Army to send troops to support. Pang Bingxun ordered the 115th Brigade to be equipped with 2 mountain artillery pieces to help. The brigade arrived near Ju County on February 26, but Ju County had been lost on the 23rd, Liu Zhendong was killed, and the Marines had moved to the vicinity of Gaoli. At this time, the Sakamoto detachment of the Japanese army, which was based on the 21st Infantry Brigade of Major General Sakamoto Shun, was advancing westward, preparing to attack Linyi. The Sakamoto detachment was organized into: the 11th Infantry Wing (1 brigade owed), the 21st Infantry Wing, the 42nd Infantry Wing, the 1st Infantry Wing, the 5th Field Artillery Wing, and the 1st Mountain Artillery Squadron.
On the 27th, the Japanese Sakamoto detachment launched an attack on the 115th Brigade. After two days of fighting, although the 115th Brigade resisted stubbornly, it was inferior in manpower and firepower, and suffered heavy casualties, so it had to take the initiative to blow up two mountain guns and then retreat on the afternoon of the 29th, and returned to Xianggongzhuang for rectification on March 2. The Japanese followed the 115th Brigade in pursuit and captured Tongtou on 5 March. When it continued to attack the main position of the White Tower, it was resolutely resisted by the defenders of the 39th Division. Pang Bingxun organized a counterattack, detouring from the left and right flanks to the enemy's flank. The Japanese were forced to retreat to Tangtou, and a temporary standoff formed. (The above is a few drops)
There was a stalemate on the southern front, and Lu Qiang and his team didn't have any big battles every day, fighting the autumn wind, but they provoked the devils to anger and made a name for themselves in the anti-Japanese area.
Lu Qiang is really distressed now, the reason is that he always fights with the devil, and he can't touch the devil's tank, which means that he can't complete the task, he can't be upgraded, he can't open the big hang, he can only open the small hang. Not long after, the famous Battle of Taierzhuang was about to break out, so Lu Qiang decided that it was necessary to go to the Taierzhuang area to gangster and encounter tanks.
In addition to the big battles, small battles are everywhere, for example, Lu Qiang is now encountering a team of devils who are going to the countryside to grab food. The devils fight, except for bringing a week's food, the rest depends on robbing the local people.
And now, a dozen devils in a squad are shooting at a group of militiamen, let's call them militia. There were more than 100 people on the militia side, but the equipment was extremely poor, and they still used some old barrel sleeves (that is, the early Hanyang manufacturing), big guns, and trolls. Not only is the equipment poor, but the quality of the personnel is low, running around, the guns are not accurate at all, listening to the bang bang, but not a single devil is killed, and one of the devil soldiers is unlucky, being grazed by a stray bullet, and the rest are nothing, but the militia side has suffered heavy casualties.
Soon, this group of militia was beaten by the devil and scattered, running around, there were more than 100 people, and only seventy or eighty people were left to run around, as for the militia captain, he was hung up early in the morning, because he was wearing too conspicuously. The captain of the funny militia actually wore a golden armor, in a group of tattered militiamen, it was even more outstanding than the chickens, and it was purely the rhythm of looking for death, so as soon as he came up, he was hit by the devil with a golden headshot, and he was shot at least ten times on his body, and his head was directly broken. It is said that the penetration of the 38 big cover is high, but the lethality is not high, but now this baby's head has been blown up, it is really an unlucky baby......
Looking at the militiamen running around the hills, Lu Qiang couldn't stand it anymore, and decided to help them, they are all Chinese nationalities, and they all talk about a family.
As soon as Lu Qiang and the others came on the field, they solved the matter of more than a dozen devils in minutes, four automatic firepower, two snipers, and one of them was almost a sniper god.
"Bang! Bang! The sound of two snipers firing guns, "Da Da Da!" The sound of three eight-one bars shooting, "Zziz!" "The sound of MG34 machine gun fire. After three or two clicks, the devil didn't react yet, and it was solved.
And when the group heard the sound, they ran faster, thinking that the devils were hitting them with machine guns, until one of them noticed the situation and did not stop.
"Thank you for saving your life." The rout soldiers all stopped, and slowly concentrated on Lu Qiang's side, and one of them said in a crepe manner.
"No thanks, they are all Chinese, the national disaster is the head, help is a handful." Lu Qiang said. "By the way, where is this?"
"This is Yizhuang, and everyone in the village is surnamed Yi." A man replied.
"Oh, thank you." Lu Qiang said.
"No, no, it should be us who thank you, it was you who saved us all and the village." One said.
"How far is it from here to Taierzhuang." Lu Qiang asked.
"It's hundreds of miles away." One said uncertainly.
"Okay, thanks." Lu Qiang thanked them and greeted them, "Let's go." By the way, these guns are not needed. ”
It has been more than an hour since Yizhuang, Lu Qiang and the others have already left Yizhuang, and when they left, they bought two carriages, and just sat in the carriage all the way, with potholes along the way, and the carriage has no shock absorption system. Lu Qiang had never made a carriage, and after the novelty at the beginning passed, he felt that the carriage was bumpy. And now, Lu Qiang felt that his bones were almost scattered.
"This carriage really doesn't sit on people, my kidneys, no, it's my waist!!" Stopping the car, Lu Qiang got out of the carriage and felt that his body was lying on his stomach. "You're all right." Lu Qiang looked at the monkey tiger who was fine at all, and was greatly surprised.
"I don't know, I guess I'm used to it." The leopard replied.
And the explanation given by Hu Zhuang is: "Boss, you never ride in a carriage, you think the carriage is upside down, this is the second time you have taken a carriage." ”
"......" feelings are this delicate body, Lu Qiang was speechless, he knew that he wouldn't take the carriage, uh, no, if he didn't take the carriage, there would be no other means of transportation, the cars of this era have no shock absorbers, and when the technology is turned on, the shock absorbers must be brought out, as for now, that's it, the old man just endured it. So Lu Qiang's painful journey began...... It's strange, because of all kinds of evil, the little devil who came to send experience came again, just when Lu Qiang and they were driving the carriage on the main road, they heard a gunshot of 38 Dagai, and then the voice of the devil.
"Flower girl drop, yo Xi yo xi." Hearing this lewd voice, needless to say, who else could there be besides the little ghost, Lu Qiang and the others immediately turned down from the carriage and picked up their weapons, and slowly moved forward in the direction of the sound source. The closer he gets, the clearer the ghost's lewd voice becomes, mixed with the screams of women.
