Chapter 3 The Three Battles

One afternoon, after the collusion and collusion of the traitors Zhu Xinzhai and Sun Huancai, the captain of the traitor brigade of several little devils and the traitor team members broke into the waterlogged slope area with murderous spirit.

The traitor squadron leader broke the gong with his face, and roared and met with a bang! Let's meet! Let's go to the crossroads for a meeting! ”

The traitors forced them out of the door of the village party secretary with bayonets and walked towards the street. In front of the village party secretary, there was a person walking. Judging by the way he walked, the captain of the traitor brigade recognized him as a cadre of a village. The organization considered that the stay of this village cadre would bring disadvantages to our work, so it was decided to let him go up the mountain with the transferred cadres. However, after the village cadre arrived in the mountains, he thought that life there was hard, so he secretly ran back.

The village party secretary thought to himself that the traitor team suddenly broke into the village and didn't know what to do, so he had to advise the village cadres a few words and not lay soft eggs in front of the enemy. So, he hurried a few steps forward and whispered, "No matter what tricks the traitors of the dog day play, we can get-" Before he finished speaking, several traitor team members came over. Seeing that he could no longer speak, the village party secretary had to walk into the crowd at the intersection with the village cadres one after the other.

The captain of the traitor brigade stood on the steps with an old Japanese saber on his shoulder, scanning the crowd with a cold gaze. When he saw that everyone was coming, he pretended to be kind, nodded at everyone with a smile, and said, "Well, fathers and fellow villagers, if you are Japanese today." The Japanese army is all around here, and I, the traitor captain, also have a few hundred and ten men. ”

"Fart!" An old man scolded in a low voice.

The captain of the traitor brigade said: "People often say that a good dog protects three neighbors, and a good man protects three villages." The Imperial Japanese Army knew that the Eighth Route Army was very active in this area, and specially sent me to protect you. ”

The village party secretary in the crowd listened to the traitor captain of this dog day say this, and scolded in his heart: "If you don't reveal your dog's tail, you know what stinky farts you have!" ”

The captain of the traitor brigade continued to let go of the donkey's voice and said: "In order to implement the 'popular regime', according to the recommendation of the township and the approval of the upper peak, it is now announced that Zhu Xinzhai, no, no, Chief Zhu, is the county magistrate. Well, 'those who know the times are Junjie', everyone should look at the general trend, assist County Magistrate Zhu, clean up**, and establish a 'popular regime', have you seen it? ”

In the crowd, no one spoke, and everyone shot the light of hatred and hatred. He showed his fierce face, patted the old Japanese saber in his waist, and shouted: "Listen to Lao Tzu!" All ** cadres must surrender themselves, and those who do not resist surrender shall be sentenced to capital punishment; All the family members of the Eight Roads must be called back, and those who hide the bad people and do not report them will be punished with capital punishment together with the bad elements. ”

"What a bullshit!" An old woman scolded quietly.

I only heard the captain of the traitor brigade shouting again: "Whatever you have divided the rich man's house, you must return it!" Well, this is an order from the imperial army, who the fuck dares to disobey, shoot and kill, and be ruthless under the knife! Someone! ”

"Yes!" A couple of shrimp and crabs will come running.

Zhu Xinzhai pointed with both hands to the village party secretary and the two scolding men and women, and said loudly: "Pull out the two old immortals who scolded just now, and this ** cadre, and shoot them immediately!" ”

Enemy gunfire rang out......

Therefore, under the command of Luo Ronghuan, Chen Shiyu, and others, our Shandong Military Region adjusted its deployment and prepared for a key offensive.

At this time, the main attacking troops launched a fierce attack on Jifang, Liujiadongshan, and Shichang, broke through two deer barricades in a row, destroyed two pillboxes, and then rushed to kill several times with the recalcitrant army, and the sappers repeatedly blasted, all of which were killed and wounded by the strong firepower of the recalcitrant army, and failed to overcome the main position, and withdrew from the battle at dawn.

Sun Huancai was dizzy at first, but soon came to his senses, shrunk his team to the area of Liujiashan, relied on the strong fortifications built by granite strips, condescended, and put up stubborn resistance, teaching the 5th Brigade and 13th Regiment to pay a lot of casualties, and the attack still did not progress.

Chen Guang led the command post of the 115th Division to follow behind the regiment, personally went to the forefront to supervise the battle, and reported the battle situation to Luo Ronghuan, who was presiding over the logistics work meeting, by telephone. Luo Ronghuan and Zhu Rui immediately rushed to the front line.

Zhu Rui and Chen Guang, one advocated withdrawing and the other advocated fighting, and they fought fiercely. Subsequently, Luo Ronghuan presided over the on-site meeting, came to a compromise method, decided to suspend the offensive, carry out siege, carry out earthworks, step by step, and at the same time transfer all the heavy artillery, and prepare explosives packs, and then launch a general attack on standby.

Luo Ronghuan personally visited the Fifth Brigade, visited the commanders and fighters who had just been returned to the establishment, and mobilized them for combat. He patted Brigade Commander Liang on the shoulder and said: "Comrade Lao Liang, recapturing Jiazishan is of great significance to supporting the 111th Division in consolidating and expanding the coastal base area. He pointed in the direction of Jiazi Mountain with his hand, "You have to pull out the nail of Sun Huancai and settle down there!" ”

Then, our army carried out tunnel operations to Zhifang and Liujiadongshan. From 23 to 25 July, the recalcitrant army counterattacked three times with a force of 100 to 300 men, sabotaging our army's tunnel operations, but was routed and more than 300 of them were captured.

As a result, more than 800 people from the recalcitrant army Zhang Liyuan's department came to the aid from the north and south of the Riju Highway, and instructed the main force of the Fifth Brigade to quickly occupy Huangdun and its southwest highlands to block the attack. When Zhang Liyuan heard the news, he immediately retracted to the north of the Riju Highway. The recalcitrant army that was holding on to the site and Liujiadongshan was exhausted, the casualties were increasing day by day, and there was no hope of waiting for help, so the morale was decadent, and they couldn't live in panic, trying to break through and escape.

Soon after, Sun Huancai broke through from Zhangjiashiwang to the north with more than 1,200 troops of his 333rd Brigade, and was intercepted by our troops along the way, and most of them were annihilated except for a few who fled back to the north of the highway.

Within a few days, Sun Huancai led the troops directly under his division and the 331st Brigade to break through the encirclement in the direction of Dejing Mountain from Jifang, Shichang, and Liujiadong Mountain, and was immediately intercepted by our army, and chased to the vicinity of the Riju Highway. During the pursuit, our troops captured more than 450 enemy soldiers.

So far, after 14 days of fierce fighting, the enemy under the siege and active attack of our army, the internal food and ammunition are exhausted, reinforcements are desperate, Sun Huancai had to lead the remnants to flee in a hurry, and our army successfully recovered the Jiazishan area.

In this battle, our army killed, wounded and captured 2,137 people under Ren Jialin, chief of staff of his brigade; More than 3,100 rifles, 18 short guns, 22 light and heavy machine guns, 3 mortars, 31 war horses, and a large amount of military supplies were seized. One hundred and forty-eight of our soldiers were killed and more than 581 were wounded.

The victory in the Battle of Jiazishan opened up a channel for the development of the north of the Xiangri (Zhao) and Ju (County) highways, and the base areas were rapidly consolidated and developed, so that Rizhao, Zhucheng, Juxian, and Junan were connected and connected with the Luzhong base areas, opening up a new situation in the revolutionary struggle in the coastal areas. The people in the base areas regained their sight of the light of day, and they were all overjoyed.

The majestic Jiazi Mountain has once again become a glorious anti-Japanese base area.
