Chapter 39 Before the War in Juxian

79 Readings. After waiting for two and a half hours for the ambush team, they refused to let go of a chance, and when Captain Song raised his arms, a dense volley of guns shot at Xiang Bao and his team,

However, the traitor sent him all the way back, satisfied, and concentrated on calculating how much the things he robbed this time could be worth, when he suddenly heard the sound of gunshots, and didn't realize what was going on, and only when he saw that the people on the left and right were injured and fell off their horses, he knew that he had encountered the Eighth Route Army, and he saw that the number of people rushing from the oblique spurs was small, and he wanted to organize resistance, but in the hurry, he couldn't find any platoon leader, so he had to take the communication squad next to him to fight back.

At this time, the Xiangbao sent did not have much will to fight, the greatest wish was to cover the looted things into the inner city ditch, the soldiers were tired all day long, hungry stomachs screaming, who was willing to fight, eager to step into the city ditch, crowded and crowded Xiang Bao was untenable, had to follow the flow of people into the city ditch......

Captain Song saw that although there were many enemies and lost the will to fight, he raised his gun and shouted, led dozens of tigers to charge quickly, and rushed to a platoon on the flank of the pseudo-third company in one go.

When the battle was in full swing, the local militia captain led hundreds of self-defense forces to arrive, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the transport vehicle pulled outside the ditch.

When Yang Buren was drinking tea, he heard the news of the defeat of the third company of the fourth battalion that came to support, he was angry and screamed, and immediately ordered an attack, he wanted to personally confront the Eighth Route Army outside the ditch, and led people to rush out.

Yang Buyen glared at one eye: "A company that came to support the army, it didn't take ten minutes to finish, can't it be done?"

"This time, there should be one less company, and I will transfer it tomorrow, the two-legged toad can't be found, but the two standing animals are some, or catch one hundred and eighty more strong men, and everything will be fine,"

"You, the chief of staff who eats soft rice, have persuaded me again and again, what kind of heart do you have?"

"Commander Yang personally arranged it, have you forgotten, the whole regiment will guard the city tonight,"

The battle is nearing its end,

There are dead corpses, guns, dead horses, and scattered bullet casings of the puppet army everywhere, broken cars parked on the road, gunpowder smoke and charcoal smoke wafting in the air, gunpowder everywhere, and patches of red blood on the trampled snow, the gunshots are getting thinner and thinner, and groups of martial arts and militiamen rush over with guns.

Soon, the big traitor Yang Buren was seriously injured at home by Captain Song and others, so that this big traitor was separated for a while.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan threw all its national defense forces into the battlefield, and a large number of army forces were deeply embedded in China's more than 2 million square kilometers of land at that time, and it could not pull out its feet. The main forces of the Navy and Air Force are also scattered in the vast Pacific Ocean, and the future is bleak.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army's offensive was successful everywhere, the scope of the occupied area was getting larger and larger, the battle line was constantly extended, and the troops in China were already insufficient, and the Pacific War needed to draw some troops from the Chinese occupation area, which undoubtedly increased the burden on the Japanese army in China, and by the beginning of the fourth year, the Japanese army was forced to switch to strategic defense.

By the spring of 1944, the Japanese army in Shandong had only the 59th Division, the 5th Mixed Brigade and most of the 1st Brigade, a total of only more than 20,000 people, which was the period when the Japanese army had the smallest number of troops in Shandong since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although the puppet army increased to more than 200,000 people, but on the whole, the strength of the Japanese puppet army was greatly reduced.

The Japanese army used to have nothing to fear in Southeast Asia, but now it has fallen into decline.

In the spring of that year, the Eighth Route Army launched counteroffensives on the battlefields in the liberated areas under its control, and the counteroffensive was divided into two stages: first, local counteroffensives, which lasted about one year; Within one year of the partial counteroffensive, the Eighth Route Army seized nearly 400 counties from the Japanese army and nearly 15 county towns in the counteroffensive on the whole front, which fully demonstrated the strong combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army of the Shandong Military Region, in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee, also quickly carried out a local counteroffensive in the liberated areas under its control, and won a major victory.

At the same time that the Japanese army continued to decline, the strength of the Shandong Eighth Route Army was growing, and the total strength of the Shandong Eighth Route Army had reached nearly 100,000 at that time, while the Kuomintang army was less than 70,000.

For this reason, the status of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong has been significantly improved, and Luo Ronghuan and other leaders are very happy in their hearts.

After Li Xianzhou's failure to enter Shandong, the armed forces of the Kuomintang in Shandong were only more than 60,000 people, with a total of more than 20 units (including more than a dozen shares of more than 1,000 people).

Some of these Kuomintang troops maintained secret contact with the Japanese army and cooperated with the Japanese puppet army to "sweep" the Eighth Route Army; Some of them not only accept the name of the puppet army, but also hang the brand of the Kuomintang army, and sell dog meat with sheep's heads, they have lost a unified command center, like a tree falling and scattered, there are many internal contradictions, and even fire each other, which is in sharp contrast to the unity of the Shandong Eighth Route Army.

After the Shandong Eighth Route Army launched a spring and summer offensive to deal a heavy blow to the enemy, the Japanese puppet army began in August, frequently mobilized troops, ready to retaliate, Luo Ronghuan continued to receive reports from intelligence stations in various places, saying that the enemy was concentrating, including a brigade of the Japanese army, the remnants of the puppet army Wu Huawen and Rongziheng, a total of more than 50,000 people, gathered in Juxian, Linyi, Qingkou, Haizhou and other places, Rizhao has more than 6,800 enemy people have already advanced north, the enemy threatened, to the north of Rizhao "sweep",

As early as July of last year, the political offensive of the Eighth Route Army was successful, when the Bohai Naval Region launched a brigade and some local armed attacks in order to shorten its ties with the Luzhong District.

At this time, the puppet army built ** provisional first division Wang Daobu was stationed in Fengcheng, northwest of Shouguang County, before that, Wang Daobu was greatly affected by the evil spirit of the Japanese, under the strong political offensive of the Bohai Eighth Route Army, ready to abandon the dark and turn to the light,

After Luo Ronghuan learned of this situation, he sent Mu Yizhi, director of the Senate Office of the Shandong Military Region, to do the work of the royal road.

Mu Yizhi, a native of Rizhao, was Wang Dao's fellow villager and classmate when he studied in Japan, he was originally the magistrate of Leling County appointed by Shen Honglie, when Xiao Hua arrived in Jilu in 1938, he handed over all the power and armed forces, and accepted the leadership of the Eighth Route Army.

Mu Yizhi once went to Chongqing, did united front work under the leadership of Zhou Enlai, and also went to Yan'an to meet **, and then returned to Shandong.

After Mu Yizhi arrived at the station of Wang Dao, he had a long talk with Wang, telling Wang about the situation, the policy of **, and the battle to eliminate Liu Guitang and crusade against Wu Huawen......

After half a year of work, Wang Dao was determined to break away from the enemy and hypocrisy, when the troops of the Bohai Naval Region attacked, he led more than 1,600 people to declare an uprising, and later the department was organized as the first brigade of the Shandong Military Region, and Wang Dao served as the brigade commander.

Luo Ronghuan's decision to take a strong political offensive against the puppet army was also inspired by the incident of the Wangdao Uprising.

The Binhai Naval District of the Eighth Route Army, under the command of Chen Shiyu and others, hit the edge of Juxian County like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

Juxian City is high and deep, surrounded by dense fortresses, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Chen Shiyu asked Fang Xiao to lead people to reconnoiter for a few days, and did not come up with a good way to attack the city, so he and the soldiers threw off the city and marched north,

Gu Mu just listened, and didn't speak,

After walking for half the night, he said to Chen Shiyu: "We only want to fight more enemies, but we have put the army in danger."

Gu Mu's words surprised Chen Shiqu, and he stopped his horse and asked, "What, did we do something wrong?"

"Lao Chen, you think, now Mo Zhengmin is still strong, if we don't defeat Jucheng first, once Jucheng attacks behind us, and there is an enemy in front of us, we won't fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on our backs,"

Chen Shiyu immediately stopped, and he asked Gu Mu how to deal with the matter that had come to this.

Gu Mu said: "I think we have to plan it,,, we have already created the impression that Jucheng is going north, and if we suddenly return to the south, it will catch them off guard......

"Then we'll take Jucheng,"

"It may not be ......," Gu Mu said, "but there will be unexpected effects, I heard that Mo Zhengmin is a cautious person, and our sudden return to the teacher may be able to force him to make a decision in our favor,"

"Okay, okay, just do as you say," (..)
