At the commendation meeting of the Binhai Naval Region of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Chen Shiyu said: "You have fought so well and played to a high level, and I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the Party Committee of the Military Region!" ”
Political Commissar Tang Liang was applauding, pressed down with his hands, and said: "From 2 August to 8 September this year, the Binhai Naval District, under the command of Luo Huasheng, commander of the Southern Front Division, and Liu Xingyuan, political commissar, first captured Ganyu and cut off the Longhai Railway, and advanced to Xinpu. and launched a fierce offensive against the puppet army of Ganyucheng, Qingkou, Shahe, and Zhewang. ”
"It's really exciting!" Song Ji said.
"Yes yes! More than 2,000 militiamen from Ganyu bravely participated in the battle, and the Zhennan District Armed Forces and militia surrounded Shahe and held their positions in the hot sun. When the enemy came out to counterattack, he would shoot the enemy back with heavy artillery fire and monitor the enemy day and night. More than 300 members of the Menhe District Armed Forces and Militia surrounded the Yinzhuang stronghold. Besiege the enemy during the day, shout at night, conduct a political offensive. Xiao Hua, who came to the celebration, said.
In addition, on the 15th and 16th, a company of the Ganyu County Brigade cooperated with more than 300 militiamen from Xushan District to connect the puppet army strongholds of Kesiwuzi, Shaojialin, and Wujiazhuang, killing and wounding and capturing more than 80 guns. On the northwest, west, and southwest sides of Ganyu City, all obstacles to our army's advance have been cleared. Commander Chen said.
"We don't play as well as Hamaki, and we still have to learn from them!" Gu Mu said.
"No, it's all good!" Chen Shiyu went on to say, "On 19 August, the 1st Division of the 2nd South Column of the 2nd Road, with the close cooperation of the local armed forces and militia, actively launched a fierce offensive against the enemy strongholds in Qingkou and Ganyucheng. Chi Chuanfu, the puppet county magistrate, led all the personnel of the puppet government to flee to Xinpu. Ganyucheng, Qingkou, Xingzhuang, and Yinzhuang were liberated by me. ”
Seeing that the two leaders had finished speaking, Luo Huasheng took a sip of water and said: "In addition, our ** Third Brigade cooperated with two companies of the coastal defense brigade and more than 300 militiamen from Lushan County to surround the Zhewang stronghold on August 15, carry out a political offensive at night, and persuade the puppet subordinates to send a letter to the puppet army. On the 16th, the Lushan County Government issued a circular order to the heads of all pseudo-village offices to withdraw on the same day. ”
"Hehe, good fight!" Commander Chen Shiyu said, "On the 17th, under the propaganda offensive, the puppet army began to waver, and individual puppet troops surrendered to our army. On the night of the 18th, a powerful offensive was organized and attacked the east and west Zhewang. Some of the Japanese soldiers told the puppet army: 'Some of the imperial army surrendered, you can find your own way!' Seeing that the general trend had gone, the puppet army fled from the sea at dawn on the 19th, and some of the puppet soldiers drowned in the sea when they ran to the Japanese motorboat with their burdens, and were liberated on the evening of the same day. ”
Gu Mu continued: "The enemy of the Dasha River in Ganyu also fled on the 22nd under the threat of our army. At this point, except for Qingdao, Zangma County, Zhucheng and Linyi, the whole coastal area has been liberated! ”
"Boom, la......" applause resounded in the sky again!
"Then let's fight Zangma County first!" Gu Mu proposed.
"Good!" The Way.
On the same day, the Binhai Special Administration and the Binhai Naval Region jointly issued a proclamation in the campaign against Li, indicating the determination of our army and the government to crusade against Li Cheng and save the people of Zhujiao and Japan, and after exposing Li Hui's heinous crimes, they specially sent a letter to the fathers, elders, brothers and sisters and pseudo-garrison officers and soldiers in the enemy-occupied areas, and the four chapters of the law:
1. The purpose of this expedition is to save the people, create an anti-Japanese base area on the Zhujiao and Japanese borders, and lay the foundation for the counteroffensive, so this army not only has the strength to crusade against Li's puppet department, but also has the determination to fight to the end and win together with the people of the three counties.
2. The purpose of the campaign is to punish Li Shun and sweep away the enemy's puppet forces, so it is not only hoped that all the fathers and brothers will work hard to eliminate the national thieves, but also that all the officers and men of Li Shun will deeply fall into the righteousness of the Ming Dynasty, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return quickly.
3. All pseudo-organizations, groups, and individuals in the past, whether voluntarily or used by Li Wei, shall be banned and dissolved, and those who have repented and reformed themselves will not be blamed for the past, and those who have fought the war of resistance will be allowed to be appropriately assigned work, and those who are rebellious or infiltrating sabotage will be dealt with strictly;
4. In consideration of the hardships of the people, the army of this department is hereby granted to all the people who used to be in the areas ruled by Li Wei from the land tax and public grain in the first half of this year, so as to reduce the burden and consolidate the national capital. To the people in the disaster area, there are other ways to deal with the aftermath.
At the end of July of this year, in order to occupy the periphery of the Boli area, the Shandong Military Region, under the command of Chen Shiyu, commander of the Binhai Naval Region, launched the "Campaign to Fight Li (Yongping)" against Li Yongping's unit of the puppet coastal garrison.
Li Yongping was the commander of the puppet coastal garrison under the direct command of the Fifth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Qingdao, and his troops numbered about 3,600 and were entrenched in the border areas of Rizhao, Jiaoxian, and Zhucheng with Boli as the center. Chen Shiyu, commander of the Binhai Naval District, served as the commander-in-chief, and the battle against Li was carried out.
The troops participating in the battle formed a right column with the Sixth Coastal Regiment, the Military Region Teaching Regiment, the Artillery Regiment, and the Special Service Company, and the commander of the Sixth Regiment, He Dongsheng, and the political commissar Wu Dai, commanded the troops to attack northeast from the area north of the two cities.
The left column was formed by the 13 th Binhai Regiment and the cavalry company of the Military Region, commanded by Liang Xingchu, commander of the First Binhai Army Division and head of the 13 th Regiment, and Liu Xiyuan, political commissar.
In addition, at that time, the new 111th Division, under the command of Wan Yi, with the 662nd Regiment in the Barrier Mountain, and the 666th Regiment in the vicinity of the two cities, the ** Regiment in the Maershan area, cooperated with the local armed forces to block Zhucheng and Rizhao to aid the enemy, ensure the safety of the flank and rear of the main attacking force, and cover the masses who destroyed the Zhucheng Rizhao Highway; The 3rd Battalion of the 13th Regiment, the ** Regiment of Juzhong, the Ribei County Brigade, the Zhucheng County Brigade, the District Squadron and the militia contained the enemy in the strongholds of Juxian, Zhucheng and Rizhao.
The sun peeked out of the horizon and scattered a thousand golden rays of light onto the earth. Like a giant in gold armor, Dingjia Dacun stands majestically in the vast coastal mountains, showing off its majestic and lofty heroic posture. Before it was time for morning cooking, smoke had already risen from the house. The wisps of smoke, the brilliant glow, and the rainbow of the morning sun are woven into a speckled canopy, covering the sky over the ancient mountain village. Everything seems to have love, helping people to decorate this festive day in the ancient mountain village.
The sun rose over the rows of tall treetops in the east of the village, and the light and shadow floated like golden snakes dancing wildly. The breeze is light, and the green trees make a joyful rustling sound.
After breakfast, it's usually time for people to go down to the mountains.
Today, however, the fields around Dingjia Village are empty, and it is rare to see people working in the fields. Standing on the high place of the ancient city and looking at it, people poured into Dingjia Village from all directions along the avenues and paths leading to the ancient city.
In this long procession, there are white-haired uncles and aunts, Shandong men in their prime, sturdy and neat young men, young and beautiful girls and daughters-in-law, innocent and lively children...... The long river of people flowed into the mountain village of Dingjia Village, and merged with the residents of the village, and Dingjia Village suddenly became a vast sea of people.
On the walls of the street, on the old pine and ancient acacia, there are slogans written on colored paper:
"General mobilization of the people of the whole country to defeat Japanese imperialism";
"Welcome the Eighth Route Army Binhai Naval Region to resist Japan and save the country";
"All anti-Japanese armed forces unite, eliminate prejudices, and open their guns to the outside world";
"Hooray";
"Long live ***";
"Long live the Eighth Route Army";
…………
More and more people gathered in and outside the village, and there was laughter and discussion everywhere, which was really "arguing about the Eighth Route Army everywhere". Song Jiliu's mother and third brother also rushed from Ganyu with Gu Mu and others to participate in this grand scene, and the mother and son squeezed hard in the crowd. (..)
