Chapter 74 Before the Battle of Ganyu
In the office of Chief Chen Shiyu, the north wall is covered with a 1/10,000 military map. August 1 ≧ ≤<<.<8≦
The commander of the 6th Regiment and the 23rd Regiment and others reported on the course of several raids and the experience of counter-sweeping.
The commander of the Sixth Regiment emphatically suggested: "To deal with the Japanese puppets here, we must have accurate information, act quickly, and eliminate them by surprise." Therefore, the inside line work should be the first. ”
The twenty-third regiment commander added the opinion of the regiment commander Wang: "To destroy these enemies, we must use a lot of troops, but we must not be intimidated by the enemy. So the key question is how to fight skillfully and how to beat the enemy hard. ”
The cadres attending the meeting were all thinking.
The political commissar stood up with a notebook in his hand, took a calm and steady puff of his cigarette, and said: "Our previous battles have not hurt the enemy, so that some villages and villages have been sacked with blood, which has affected the smooth progress of the "double reduction" work and the consolidation of the base areas. In this sweep, dozens of villages were massacred, hundreds of cadres and masses died tragically, and almost all the houses and grain were burned and looted. The enemy is unusually ferocious.
The cadres all looked at Political Commissar Fu with ashamed self-reproach. Song Jiliu, who was invited to attend the meeting, remembered the scene of some villages being ransacked and felt particularly angry.
"This is not strange!" Political Commissar Fu continued, "All the enemies are ferocious and bad people, and a few of them have committed the most heinous crimes, and they have accumulated a lot of blood debts in the sweep, and they are and will inevitably be fascists who are resolutely enemies of the people. ”
"Not bad!" A trunk of the road.
"In addition, before the recent bloody lessons in these villages, we always thought that the enemy's tens of thousands of men were not terrible, that there would be no great losses wherever we went, and that we would be beaten back in a few days. Judging from the current state of affairs, these massacres were mostly carried out by traitors. Now we have to make the greatest determination to eliminate Li Yafan quickly and completely! Fight for the initiative and consolidate the rear! ”
Chen Siming, a burly and decisive soldier, said bluntly: "Tactically speaking, if you don't have a large force to deal with the enemy in Ganyu City, it is simply equivalent to using a small steel cannon to fight flies, which is useless." We should be strong until we destroy the enemy! ”
"Good!" The Way.
Chen Siming tapped it with his fist: "Now our Eighth Route Army Binhai Naval District has decided," he glanced around at everyone, "Led by me and Political Commissar Fu, the old Sixth Regiment, the Twenty-third Regiment and other armies and local armed forces will form a strong and powerful corps to complete this task." ”
When Political Commissar Fu made his report, the cadres present were already thinking about how they would carry out this battle, and they all wanted to ask for this task. Chen Siming's announcement was immediately applauded by everyone.
The head of the sixth regiment stood up early. The young red face was filled with excitement, but it was suppressed, and he looked at Chen Siming with excited eyes.
"Your regiment wants to ask for the main attack again, right? Okay agreed! But pick the three sappers who are the most daring. Good spare! Commander Chen said to him cordially.
A confident look suddenly appeared on the face of the sixth regiment leader: "Yes!" I believe in our fighters, they are full of guts. ”
Political Commissar Fu loved this brave and fearless comrade very much and knew his strengths, but he also enlightened him: "There are two kinds of courage mentioned here: one is the courage of the group to fight collectively; The second is the lonely courage of each fight. The demands placed on these sappers prominently require solitary courage. There are three factors of courage: first, high consciousness; the second is high in martial arts, high wisdom and resourcefulness; The third is the physical strength. Only such fighters can deal with today's opponents. ”
The sixth regiment commander nodded with a smile: "Comrade Political Commissar, I completely understand your advice......
Everyone laughed.
The commander of the sixth regiment clasped the hand of political commissar Fu and said: "I feel infinitely honored by the party's trust in me, and this is an honor for me in advance, and I will use all the wisdom and strength of my regiment and my regiment to fight to a higher level with my brother troops." ”
"Good! As long as you have confidence in the six regiments, the other regiments will not lag behind! Chen Shiyu hurriedly said. After he finished speaking, he swept everyone again and introduced, "Ganyu County is a small county in the southeast of our coastal area, but its strategic position is very important, it is a satellite city of the Japanese army to hold on to Xinpu and Haizhou and an outpost position to attack the coastal area.
"Not bad!" Political Commissar Fu said.
In addition, the county is square in shape, surrounded by a circle of bricks and stones more than ten meters high, and the base of the wall is a moat five or six meters deep. The city is dotted with large and small bunkers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city is heavily defended, and more than 2,000 people from the 71st Brigade of the 630th Division of the Puppet Peace Construction ** Li Ya and the county security forces are stationed in the city, and some are distributed in various strongholds outside the city. ”
"What Commander Chen said is extremely true!" Political Commissar Fu put away a smile and said, "These four or three years are a special year, and the Xinpu Japanese puppet army has continued to increase its troops, driving the puppet army to step up its 'encroachment'. In November, the Japanese puppets gathered heavy troops to carry out a brutal 'sweep' in the Yimeng Mountains in central Luzhong. On the 18th, the Japanese army's 'sweep' turned to the Bohai Sea area, with more and more troops, about 20,000 people. ”
On the orders of the commander of the Japanese Uemura Brigade, the puppet Li Ya Domain prepared to "sweep" the coastal area, attempting to open the Haihai (Zhou) and Qing (Island) highways in response to the Japanese army's "sweep" of the Bohai Sea region. Our military region must actively cooperate with the anti-'sweeping' struggle in central Shandong and the Bohai region, and smash the enemy's attempt to "sweep" and "encroach" on the coastal areas by diverting troops. Commander Luo ordered us to teach the Second Brigade and the Binhai Naval Region to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of Captain Tengben of the Devil Tengben Brigade to lead the Devil soldiers out to "sweep" and preemptively conquer Ganyu City, eliminate Li Yafan, and disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment.
"Li Yafan was originally the deputy commander of the Lusu Theater of the Kuomintang Army and the adjutant of Miao Chengliu, commander of the 57th Army, and defected to the enemy in the autumn of 1939." Commander Chen said.
"Not bad! There are many factions within the 71st Brigade of the puppet army, especially the sharp contradictions between the two regiment commanders and their different political tendencies. We had long grasped the internal situation and decided to take advantage of its contradictions to win over Huang Shengchun, the commander of the 141st Regiment of the brigade in favor of us, to take a neutral attitude and not move his troops during the siege of the city, which brought certain benefits to our attack. So, don't worry too much about anything. Next, I would like to ask Commander Chen to give the order. Political Commissar Fu said.
Commander Chen said: "I and the political commissar and chief of staff have studied and determined two siege plans: the first plan is to bring a few sappers and two scouts from the inner line to try to open the city gate; The second plan, if the city fails, will be blasted with explosives by three engineers. The combat mission was carried out by the 6th Regiment and the 23rd Regiment of our Military Region, as well as the Haijiang Independent Battalion. ”
"Yes!" The Way.
Political Commissar Fu said: "In addition, the battle plan stipulates: the sixth regiment is responsible for breaking through the northeast gate of the county town and annihilating the enemy north of the northeast gate to West Street; The 23rd Regiment was responsible for destroying the enemy south of Dongxidajie, including Nanguan and Xiguan, and the 3rd Battalion of the regiment was deployed in the area of Wuli Wangshu between Qingkou and Ganyucheng to be responsible for reinforcements; The Haijiang Independent Battalion was responsible for destroying the road from Qingkou to Ganyucheng, and cooperated with the 3rd Battalion of the 23rd Regiment to send reinforcements and cooperate with the District Squadron to capture Zhudu, Yinzhuang, Xiaozhuangzi and other pseudo-strongholds; In addition, the Hailing Independent Regiment sent troops to attack the enemy stronghold in Shahe, taking attack as defense to prevent the enemy from coming out and making trouble. ”
"Comrades, because this operation is a tough battle, for this reason, we have "borrowed" Sangang shells from Commander Luo, so that if necessary, we can strengthen the siege firepower. It is impossible to attack such a fortified city without artillery, the power of artillery is too great!? Commander Chen paused at this point, stared at the commander of the Sixth Regiment, and said firmly, "Your old Sixth Regiment has participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan and the Battle of Qingkou, and at the beginning of the year, it won the victory of attacking Tancheng. Therefore, the main attack task of attacking Ganyu City this time was handed over to the Sixth Regiment! ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The commander of the sixth regiment said, "The first battalion is an assault battalion, the second company is an assault company, and the company commander He Wanxiang is the commando leader, who is responsible for the glorious task of raiding the city gate." ”
"Are you happy?" Political Commissar Fu said.
"Yes!" Unison.
Huang Shengchun, the head of the 141st Regiment of the puppet Li Department, was brightly lit, and Huang Shengchun was walking around the hall with a cigarette in his mouth.
Adjutant Liu Liancheng (underground party), pointed to the map and said: "The group sits, Li and Zhang have been squeezing my group, they always want to eat us, last time at the banquet, they deliberately asked you not to get off the stage." In addition, he also specially asked our regiment to fight the old sixth regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and this ace regiment of the Eighth Route Army is so easy to fight? Isn't that telling us to shoot ourselves in the foot! They really want to take advantage of the fisherman! ……”
"His mother's surname is Li, not only is it not less than the military salary of our regiment, but also intends to let us fight with the Eighth Route Army, isn't it obvious. Lao Tzu didn't want to do this errand of being a traitor for a long time. By the way, how did you talk to Lao Gu? Huang Shengchun said and raised the word "eight" with his right hand, and asked again, "How are you talking?" ”
Liu Liancheng pretended to be scared: "Tuanzuo really wants to vote for this?" Speaking of the word "eight", I also gave an "eight".
"Hey! I think there's only one way to go, and this fucking bastard surnamed Li isn't really a good thing. Sooner or later, we will suffer his great loss. It's better to leave early. Huang sighed.
"This, this is not good......"
"Nothing bad!"
"This, this ......"
"What, this, that? Say it! Huang said angrily.
"There are two people outside who want to come and see them, I wonder if I can let them in?"
"What do they do?"
"Solve problems for the group!"
"Well, then let them in. You guy, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Liu Liancheng waved outward, and the guards brought in the smiling Song Jiliu and the section chief of the Old Sixth Regiment. Huang smiled and greeted him.
Song Jiliu patted Huang's right arm and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry that Lao Song didn't come to see you, the Grand Master, early! ”
As soon as Huang heard that it was Song Jiliu, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. nodded again and again and said, "Song, Captain Song is too polite, too polite!" Huang said and waved his hand to Liu Liancheng on the side. Tell people to keep watch, and no one is allowed to come in without my orders, not including the people from the brigade headquarters! ”
"Yes!" Liu Liancheng smiled and went out to press the row.
Song Jiliu said with a smile: "This is the section chief of the Sixth Regiment. We are here on the orders of Chen, Fu and Gu, so please talk about your plans! ”
Huang nodded: "With the instructions of the three commanders and the arrival of the two heroes, it should be fully supported and ......."
