Chapter 90: The Great Battle of Tibetan Horses

The Ninth Company of the Right Column immediately assembled and ran to occupy the small hill behind, who knew that at this time more than 100 enemies had already occupied the first place.

When the enemy saw our Eighth Route Army rushing up, they attacked them with two light machine guns and one hand cannon.

So, the company commander ordered: "One platoon immediately assaults the front, and three platoons detour from the enemy's right side." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of our Eighth Route Army acted one after another.

This platoon immediately struck frontally, and the third platoon detoured from the enemy's right side. In less than twenty minutes, the team jumped close to the top of the hill. Charging with grenades and bayonets, the second squad immediately rushed with the enemy, and the first and third squads also went up and rushed back and forth with the enemy a few times. At the same time, the third row also detoured from the right side. The enemy could not support it and wanted to hold on to the East Ridge and cover the retreat of the brigade.

After the platoon commander of my Eighth Route Army found out about this situation, he ordered: "The third squad covers the first and second shifts, fast forward!" ”

Squad leader Wang was as happy as if he had drunk secret. He concentrated the fire of the whole squad and fired at the enemy, shouting: 'Aim and shoot!' As he was screaming, an enemy came running from that side, and with the sound of his gun, the enemy fell...... Another enemy ran out of the sorghum field and tried to run, and he was killed with one shot, and the two enemies fell, and the rest of the enemy ran away even more in disarray.

Comrade Li Jifa was an exemplary party member, and he followed the platoon commander as a correspondent during the Tashan battle. When he approached the enemy less than 100 meters, the enemy's machine guns and small cannons rang out, and he did everything to complete the task given to him, and finally unfortunately was wounded.

After Li Jifa was injured, not only did he not show any fear, but also constantly encouraged everyone: "Comrades, leave me alone, go and complete your task, I am a ** member, I still have a grenade, the enemy is coming and fighting him!" When he was at the height of his injury, he said: "Comrades write me a letter home, asking my brother to take revenge, and comrades will also avenge me and destroy these evil enemies!" ”

The words of the hero Li Jifa encouraged everyone a lot, and the comrades said: "We want to avenge Comrade Li!" ”

In the battle of Shengshui, there were two very good stretchers: they were veteran Comrade Chen Deming from Ganyu and Comrade Zhang Jitian, a new soldier who had just joined the army. Usually, they work hard. And in wartime, they became glorious rescuers.

During the two nights of fighting, during the heroic attack, a few comrades were wounded, and some individual comrades died. However, the majority of the comrades were able to happily and safely get out of the line of fire without suffering major losses.

There were only a dozen casualties, and they were carried down by their comrades on stretchers, and where the stretchers were difficult to move, they carried him off.

In every battle, Chen Deming, Zhang Ji, Tianhe carried a stretcher like this, and in the close fire of the enemy, the casualties of the whole company were safely brought down one by one.

In the battle of Shengshui, Comrade Liu Jiaren of the first company of the right column was wounded, and the hygienist Tang Guangsheng gave him medicine and told him to go down, but he didn't go down, he said: "No, I can't go down, I can still shoot, I can move!" Then he went up again.

On the morning of August 13 of the same year, two scouts from the 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment, Xu Qingjun and Wu Wenyu, a soldier nicknamed Hammer, passed through Ma'anzhuang when they returned from reconnaissance from the north.

Lao Xu was the first to break in, and the first one asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"Five brigades and two battalions." Lao Xu unhurriedly pretended to be the enemy's number. While shutting the door with his hand. The enemy saw that the situation was not good, and aimed at Lao Xu with a "bang", Lao Xu flashed, and the bullet grazed a layer of skin from the left rib. The man turned around and ran into the south house, and Lao Xu also took advantage of the situation to enter the opposite house.

There were still a few plainclothes people in the south room, who kept shooting and throwing grenades outside, but they couldn't hurt Lao Xu a single hair. Lao Xu also hit a grenade and threw it on the teapot on the table in the south house, and with a "boom", shrapnel and tiles exploded all over the south house.

Lao Xu's bullets ran out, but he still held the empty gun, and as soon as the enemy on the opposite side showed his head slightly, he pointed the gun at him, and frightened them into it again.

"What the hell are you?" The enemy in the South Room asked anxiously.

"Tell you, I'm the Eighth Route Army, hurry up and surrender the gun!"

However, the enemy still resisted stubbornly, and threw a bomb and exploded in the courtyard.

"His grandmother's!" Lao Xu grabbed his scalp to make an idea, and suddenly shouted quietly outside the door, "Hammer!" Arrange your team and set it on fire! …… Don't let them run! ……”

"It's all set! The machine gun mount is in the doorway!" Lao Wu was waiting outside in a hurry, and when he heard Lao Xu greeting him, he hurriedly replied, running around the temple, throwing two bombs inside, firing a few shots, and then lighting a few fires to attack it.

"We're not playing! I surrender my gun! The south room screamed in panic.

"Pay it quickly! Throw the gun in the yard! Don't move! Whoever moves will be killed! Lao Xu still pointed at Nanwu viciously with an empty gun.

So four short guns and a grenade were thrown into the courtyard together, and they cried, "There are only five of me, only four guns, and there is no more." ”

Under Lao Xu's order, five plainclothes people raised their hands and walked out one by one with scorched faces.

The campaign began on the morning of 24 July of the same year and ended victoriously on 25 August, with more than 40 large and small strongholds conquered, more than 300 pillboxes destroyed, more than 388 enemy puppet soldiers killed and wounded, more than 360 prisoners, 6 enemy cars destroyed, 6 machine guns, more than 340 rifles, 36 short guns, and many other supplies.

In this campaign, our army recovered a large area of land in Zhujiaobian, liberated more than 300,000 people, controlled most of the Rizhao Zhu (Cheng) Highway and a section of the Hai (Zhou) Qing (Island) and Zhu (Cheng) Jiao (County) Highway, further changed the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the coastal area, consolidated and developed the connection between the coastal and Jiaodong districts, recovered a large area of land in Zhujiaobian, liberated most of the area of Zangma County, and connected the Wulian Mountain and the Tibetan Ma Mountain.

After the end of the "Campaign to Discuss Li", in August 1944, according to the instructions of the superiors, the Binbei Prefectural Committee decided to form two counties in the Zhujiaobian area, with the former southern Zhucheng and five districts as the main establishment of Zangma County, and at the same time established the Zangma County Working Committee, Zhang Yu was the first secretary of the county working committee, and Yu Yunguang was the first county magistrate.

In October of the same year, after smashing the Japanese puppet army's retaliatory "sweep" in the summer, the main force was transferred from the Zhujiaobian area to the outer front, and a new change appeared in the situation of the struggle in the region. In order to meet the needs of this situation, the Binbei Prefectural Committee, with the consent of the superiors, decided to merge Zhujiaobian County and Zangma County into Zhujiao County.

After Japan announced its unconditional surrender, the puppet troops entrenched in Boli, Wangtai, Wanggezhuang and other places defected to the Kuomintang one after another. The Shandong Military Region ordered the main forces of the 1st Division and the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Brigade of the Shandong Military Region to liberate Wangtai and Wanggezhuang from 20 to 22 August, with the cooperation of the local armed forces. At this time, in order to strengthen the leadership and construction of the newly liberated area, the Binbei Prefectural Committee decided to abolish Zhujiao County and restore the establishment of Zangma County in the southern region.
