Chapter 124: Resistance Battle (1)
Just laid down the Hegang Coal Mine and Heli Town, Meng Qingshan used the Fengxiang Fortress as a transit station to transport the seized materials to the fortress, and then slowly transported them to the base area for the development of the Luobei Fourth Regiment, because the materials obtained were relatively large and the roads here were not easy to walk, sometimes rugged and sometimes high, the Anti-Japanese Federation could only use the carriages and ox carts bought in the county town to transport materials, in order to prevent the Japanese troops sent from the direction of Jiamusi from pursuing them in their direction when transporting materials, Meng Qingshan specially ordered the Sixth Regiment to be responsible for the task behind the palace, Under the leadership of the regiment commander Guo Bingxun, a position was built in the mountains two miles away from Heli to block the pursuit of the Japanese brigade from the direction of Jiamusi, so as to buy time for the transfer of supplies and troops.
After several battles in a row, nearly a quarter of the troops suffered casualties, and in order to transport the captured grain, Meng Qingshan's second detachment was very tired and needed to rest, and the large army transporting supplies stopped from exhaustion due to the rugged mountain roads. The soldiers lit fires to cook, tidy up their luggage, and rest in peace, while Meng Qingshan, Wang Wennian, Li Yanping, and Wang Guangyu sat around and discussed the enemy situation while eating.
"The commander headquarters sent another telegram, urging us to attack the county town or fight a few more battles with the Japanese army, so as to contain the Japanese army, so as to reduce the pressure on the headquarters to implement the recovery plan." Li Yanping raised the telegram in his hand and said.
"The dream of recovering the three eastern provinces, if we can recover the three eastern provinces by relying on more than 10,000 people, then we have millions of troops in China who have already driven out the Japanese and still use it now, the stupid robe from the Soviet Union is just a small major or a typical Zhao Kuo who has just come out of the military academy, and he actually wants to capture the important city of Qiqihar, an important city of the Japanese army, with more than 10,000 troops, as an anti-Japanese base, he thinks this is their Soviet Union, do you know that this is China, where is it different from them, The October Revolution of the Soviet Union attacked the cities and established political power, that is, the Russian troops were all on the front line, whether they were good or not, and the emptiness of the city's troops allowed them to pick up a bargain and succeed. ”
"Even if it is captured, it will soon face the heavy firepower of the Japanese army's aircraft, artillery, etc., and it will not be able to defend it by relying on the group of people who have just picked up their guns, except to send them to death or to die, and call them back to resolutely oppose this dangerous operation." Meng Qingshan said excitedly.
"The Commander's Headquarters had already started the operation a day ago, and it is possible that they were already engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese at this time." Li Yanping lowered his head and said.
"Forget it, first let the telegraph operator send a telegram to a detachment of Wang Yachen, telling them to hurry up and move the camp and refuse to carry out the tasks of the headquarters, now we should also think carefully about our future path, once the headquarters personnel are unfortunately captured, then we will be 100% exposed, and then we will face the Japanese army's crazy encirclement and suppression, we must be prepared for this." Meng Qingshan sighed and said.
"Commander, now that our arsenal battle plan has been successfully completed, we have obtained the machines and talents needed to build the arsenal, and at the same time we have obtained a large amount of food, and now our army needs a safe place to digest the results of this battle." Wang Guangyu said.
"Guangyu is right, our army is fighting at the beginning with all its strength, with nearly 15,000 combatants, destroying about 2,400 Japanese troops and 1,200 puppet soldiers, and capturing countless materials enough for the troops to live for half a year." Li Yanping said.
"Although we have obtained weapons and food, but our team has also expanded a lot, now the regular army is nearly 10,000, there are four battalions of recruits in the new corps are training, there are nearly 20,000 people in the logistics department, plus we have rescued nearly 10,000 laborers and miners, the captured food will definitely not last the spring of next year, and the soldiers who are about to face winter are wearing single clothes and need a lot of cotton clothes to spend the winter, and the loss of a large number of veterans in this operation has caused the combat effectiveness of the troops to decline, so now we are facing the problem, First, we must store grain for the winter when winter is coming, second, we need a large amount of cotton clothing, third, we must train the troops to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers so that we can face the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and fourth, we must develop the base area and build Luobei into our stable rear. ”
"I agree with what the commander said."
"I'm okay with that."
"Then let's have a good night's rest, and continue our journey tomorrow morning, and we should be able to reach the fortress tomorrow night."
The next morning, the position blocked by the 6th Regiment was bombarded by bursts of heavy artillery fire from the Japanese artillery, and the sleeping earth was suddenly awakened by a strong shaking. Guo Bingxun first felt an inexplicable oppression, then a violent explosion, and then a strong shaking of the earth, and the earth on the top of the bunker quickly fell and hit his head. Under the stern urging of the commander of the base camp, Sasaki led his troops to the anti-union position two miles away from Heli Town, and after observing the position of the anti-alliance, Sasaki went to the first order to the artillery of the troops to carry out artillery bombardment against the anti-union. I saw that dozens of Japanese artillery pieces made a deafening sound, and a dense rain of bullets fell on the position of the Sixth Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Union, and then mud flowers rose, opening in the smoke of gunpowder, which was really beautiful in the eyes of the Japanese infantry. Shells fell one after another, the positions were full of gunsmoke, some even exploded a crater about one meter deep, and from time to time there were broken gun stumps flying in the sky, that is, some unfortunate anti-United Nations fighters were hit by shells.
The regiment commander Guo Bingxun and the political commissar Zhang Lingfeng hid in bunkers and silently endured the bombardment of shells. This kind of bunker is a measure to defend against Japanese artillery bombardment that Meng Qingshan talked about in the Morgen fortress, and this is still the bloody dog that Meng Qingshan was scolded in the scolding war with netizens again in later generations, and finally spent nearly a week looking for information to report the little deflated three who scolded him for being a military idiot, and there is an article on this position, even if a bomb happens to hit it, it is guaranteed not to collapse. Guo Bingxun and Zhang Lingfeng were glad that they did not skip class at that time, unlike Zhang Facai, who always skipped class when he had a headache as soon as he was in class, and on the other hand, they were full of admiration for Meng Qingshan.
The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and as far as the eye could see, the hill where the Anti-Japanese Union was located seemed to have been plowed over. Sasaki came prepared this time, first encircled and suppressed the remnants of the Second Route Army in Xiajiang, and later replenished enough ammunition at Jiamusi, in order to demoralize the opposing Chinese army, the Japanese continued to shell for nearly half an hour. Major General Sasaki of the Japanese Kwantung Army put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Li Huatang, the captain of the advance team beside him: "Li Jun, it depends on your performance, remember, if you encounter a strong counterattack by the opposing army, you will retreat immediately, and it is not time to fight hard, our artillery has ammunition." ”
Li Huatangyu surrendered in February and was appointed by the Japanese army as the captain of the Tangyuan Advance Team, and at the same time, with the former anti-Japanese fighters of the Ninth Army as the backbone, he recruited some ruffians and hooligans, expanding by nearly 500 people.
Li Huatang responded, "Yes, Your Excellency General!" "Because the task of taking the lead is something that I have fought for with great difficulty, you must know that since the day of the descending, there has been no great merit except for reporting the original secret camp, and now I finally have a chance to make a meritorious service, so I naturally can't mess it up, so I decided to go into battle in person and left in a hurry.
