September 17 was a day of hard encounters, a day of hammers and anvils, and a day of blood and fire for all units of the Eighth Route Army that fought and blocked the attack.

Just before the 1st Column and 3rd Brigade fought with the 212th Wing of the Japanese Army and the 1st and 4th Regiments of the Puppet Ludong Peace Construction Regiment, Peng Hu, the commander of the 12th Brigade of the 4th Column, and Shi Tugen, the political commissar, also commanded the troops to fight with the 211th Wing of the Japanese Army and the Hu Dingsan Special Service Regiment and the Hu Dianying Independent Regiment stationed in Anqiu, the 3rd Independent Regiment of Shan Xunchen, the 10th Independent Regiment of Han Shouchen, the 1st Pistol Brigade of Xu Zichang, and the 2nd Pistol Brigade of Su Jingyu.

Hu Dingsan and Han Shouchen are the chief and deputy commanders of the Anqiu Command designated by Li Wenli.

The battle began to heat up.

The commander of the 211th Wing, Nobuo Tanaka, himself had three infantry brigades, plus an infantry brigade originally drawn from the 37th Division under his command, a total of four infantry brigades, plus the field artillery brigade, engineer brigade, search cavalry squadron and baggage squadrons of various brigades under the command of the division, the strength was strong, and the number of puppet troops used was much more than that of the 212th Wing in the direction of Chaigou. Moreover, in the offensive operation of the Eighth Route Army last night, the front line of Guanzhuang and Jingzhi were all the Wei Jingyuan Pistol Fourth Brigade and Sun Gengchuan Pistol Fifth Brigade of the Li Wenli Department of the puppet army, and the main force of the Japanese puppet army basically suffered no losses.

Nobuo Tanaka was much more insidious than Shiro Shiro Eto of the 212th Wing, and as soon as he came up, he called for planes to bomb indiscriminately, followed by artillery bombing, and then set off poison gas bombs, and then ordered his troops to attack.

In this way, the 4th Column and 12th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army fought more hard, and the casualties were also heavy ().

Peng Hu and Shi Tugen were both company-level cadres of the former Red Eighteenth Regiment, and now they have grown into brigade commanders and political commissars of the main brigade.

Before the battle was launched, the Logistics Command of the Shandong Military Region specially issued gas masks to the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Column and the 12th Brigade of the 4th Column, which were tasked with blocking the attack, to deal with the Japanese army's poison gas bombs. The warriors' kettles were also filled with water, and towels were tied to the harness of the kettles, ready to cover their noses and mouths with wet towels.

There is a way to deal with poison gas, but the problem is that the Japanese planes and artillery are annoying, and if you rely on the village to hold on, the planes and artillery of the little devils will blow the village into ruins. If the war continues like this, the war will end, and many fellow villagers will have to rebuild their homes. In particular, in Guanzhuang and Jingzhi Ancient Town, the commander's battle plan made it clear that he could not hold on to the town to avoid the Japanese army from destroying the town, so he could only hold it in the field. In this way, it was all about trenches and anti-artillery holes to resist the frenzied attack of the Japanese army.

At this time, Peng Hu and Shi Tugen finally understood why when the Japanese army captured Tengxian, Wang Mingzhang's troops were basically wiped out, and the Japanese casualties were very small. There was no way, the Japanese planes and artillery alone crippled the defenders.

Since meeting Liu Yimin, Peng Hu and Shi Tugen felt that today's battle was the most sloppy, purely passive, guarding the defense line and being bombed. If you continue to play like this, it will become a ** style of play.

Fortunately, the battle plan was formulated very carefully, and the commander seemed to have calculated this move of the Japanese army, and the battle plan was interlocking, and all units could resist and cover the retreat alternately.

Peng Hu and Shi Tugen kept looking at their watches, and they always felt that today was a very long day, as if the hands on the watch had not moved.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese puppet army had already captured Guanzhuang, and the 35th Regiment of the 12th Brigade of the 4th Column and the 12th Brigade of Guanzhuang had suffered nearly a quarter of the casualties, and many soldiers were injured by Japanese bombs and shells. The troops could only withdraw from Guanzhuang with hatred, and retreat along the south bank of the Honggou River to the east, planning to cross the Wei River and fight a blockade on the east bank of the Wei River.

After the Japanese puppet army occupied Guanzhuang, after a little rectification, they chased after the tail of the Eighth Route Army along the Honggou River ().

Shijiabu is located on the south bank of the Honggou River, is a famous village in Anqiu, there is an ancient acacia tree in the middle of the village, planted in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The ancient acacia has long been hollow, but it is still luxuriant.

It is said that this ancient locust was carried by immigrants from Shanxi back then. "Ask me where my ancestors came from, the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi. What is the name of the ancestral hometown? The old stork's nest under the big locust tree. It is said that in the early Ming Dynasty, because of the war, many places were uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the Ming government immigrated from the populous southern Jin to various places.

In that year, the immigrants went on the road after receiving the "Sichuan License" under the big locust tree in Hongdong County, Jinnan. At the time of leaving, the immigrants who are difficult to give up their homeland have folded the locust as a memory, and frequently look back, and the last thing they see is only the big locust tree and the old eagle's nest, and the big locust tree and the old eagle's nest on the tree have become a symbol of the immigrants' farewell to their homeland.

According to records, in order to prevent the migrants from escaping back to their hometowns halfway, the officers and soldiers tied the migrants with ropes and tied them with their hands behind their backs, and strung them together with long ropes to escort them on the road. During the long journey, when people needed convenience, they had to report to the officers and soldiers: "Master, please relieve yourself, I want to urinate." The number of times is too much, the language is abbreviated, as long as you say, "Master, I'll relieve you", both sides will understand what it means. Since then, "unties" has become synonymous with going to the toilet.

Since the Eighth Route Army came, Shijiabu has also become a base area, and there are dozens of soldiers from Shijiabu Village who joined the army in the fourth column. Coupled with the county brigade, district squad, and militia team, it means that basically every family in Shijiabu Village has guns to fight devils.

Sticking to Shijiabu was the cavalry battalion of Wang Shuyou, the cavalry hero of the Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army, and the cavalry battalion of Qianli, the commander of the Fourth Column, Lei Ming, and the political commissar Yuan Guoping, who deliberately strengthened the command of the 12th Brigade in order to ensure the safe transfer of the main force of the 12th Brigade. The purpose was to use the characteristics of cavalry to fight quickly and retreat quickly, leading the Japanese puppet army to pursue eastward.

Wang Shuyou and Shi Qianli are well-known heroes of the whole army, and they became famous in a battle at the gate of Cangzhou City, and they are famous.

At this moment, Wang Shuyou and his division were climbing on the big locust tree in the middle of the village, holding binoculars to observe the enemy's situation.

The rearguard of the 35th Regiment, carrying the wounded and martyrs, retreated quickly under the cover of sorghum fields, passing through Shijiabu to the east.

The Japanese puppet army caught up, starting with a few devils' motorcycles and dozens of traitors on bicycles, followed by six tanks, several armored vehicles and dozens of cars about four or five miles behind, and then the main force of the Japanese puppet army chasing after them in several ways (). Needless to say, from the early morning to the present, the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils have been knocked out by half of our army.

Maybe the Japanese puppet army was scared, saying that it was a quick pursuit, but in fact the speed was not fast, and the infantry followed behind the tanks and armored vehicles, hurrying with their heads down.

After observing, Wang Shuyou smiled and said to Shi Qianli: "Old man, are you interested in comparing marksmanship?" ”

Shi Qianli immediately said: "Put the Japanese puppet army on motorcycles and bicycles into the village to fight?" ”

The two of them have been on hold for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding and a good heart, and they can make sense as soon as they say it.

Wang Shuyou and his division slipped out of the locust tree and immediately notified the front-line troops to let the motorcycles and bicycles of the Japanese puppet army enter the village, and concentrate their forces on killing the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Cavalry combat is different from infantry, and the horses must be concealed first. Wang Shuyou and Shi Qianli hid their horses in Shijiabu Village, leaving a platoon to guard them, and the other troops were concealed outside Shijiabu Village. This platoon is the weapon that Wang Shuyou and his division used to deal with Japanese motorcycles and puppet army cyclists.

The little devil's motorcycle and the puppet army's bicycle entered Shijiabu. The little devil, who didn't look at the people in the village, turned on the machine gun mounted on the motorcycle with a clatter.

Look at the almost, Wang Shuyou removed the two bricks on the brick wall, and the Bayi automatic rifle stretched out from the hole, and fired at the devil machine gunner on the first motorcycle, and the little devil climbed onto the motorcycle with his head crooked and did not move. The devil motorcyclist panicked, and the motorcycle turned to the side of the road and crashed into the wall. Did Wang Shu let them go, and then there were two more shots, knocking the devil's motorcycle driver and the little devil sitting behind the driver to the ground.

Just after Wang Shuyou shot, Shi Qianli also shot, he hit the last motorcycle, and also sent the three little devils back to the East.

The battalion commander and instructor fired, and the soldiers did not hesitate, and the gunfire in Shijiabu Village became a whole, and the Bayi automatic rifle, semi-automatic rifle, and 44-type cavalry gun all fired, first hitting the devils on the motorcycle, and then the traitors on the bicycle ().

After killing the little devils, Wang Shuyou and Shi Qianli led the soldiers to rush out, and fired fiercely at the traitors who hurriedly turned their bicycles around and tried to escape, and they didn't even give those guys a chance to kneel and beg for mercy.

As soon as the battle was settled here, the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles drove over, the motors whined, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns strafed, rushing towards Shijiabu.

Seeing that it was almost at the entrance of the village, there was a boom, and the devil tank that hit the head pressed on the anti-tank mine and lay on its stomach and did not move. The second tank hurriedly reversed, apparently aware of the danger and wanted to retreat, waiting for the sappers to come up and clear the mines. At this time, a rocket flew out of the wall of the dilapidated land temple at the entrance of the village, and hit the little devil's second tank accurately, and there was another loud bang, and the devil's second tank turned into a ball of fire.

Outside Shijiabu Village, it has become a Shura field for little devil tanks and armored vehicles.

The positions of the cavalry battalion of the four columns were laid out very hidden, and the little devils did not notice it at all, and the rocket launchers of the fire support company and the rocket launcher groups of each company and platoon all went into battle to slaughter the tanks and armored vehicles of the devils at close range. After a while, the remnants of the six tanks and seven armored vehicles of the little devil were all turned into wreckage.

The bazooka group of the Eighth Route Army was still not satisfied, and aimed at the Japanese cars galloping, and only knocked out three of them, and the road became a mess, and the Japanese soldiers in the cars jumped down one after another, and the Japanese puppet troops following behind the tanks and armored vehicles lay down and prepared to shoot. At this time, the Eighth Route Army pressed the electric explosive, and a series of earth-shattering thunders rang out, and the road more than two miles long was wrapped in smoke and dust in an instant.
