Chapter 102: The Waterway Annihilation
79 After the Eighth Route Army released a gas of poisonous gas, and threw twelve bundles of grenades, the enemy did not move, Jiang Xueshan personally led Gao Lifang and other three soldiers to rush in to take a look, more than a dozen devils almost all died, only one guy stood there stupidly and did not speak,
Suddenly, from the pile of dead people of the devil, a person with a face full of blood crawled out, he was the captain of the devil's son, Kobayashi Xianxiong, I saw this guy throw out a grenade, and was kicked out of the puppet army group outside the window by Gao Lifang, who was sharp-eyed and quick-handed, and killed four puppet soldiers at once, Jiang Xueshan and the other two soldiers took the opportunity to step forward and strangled Kobayashi Xianxiong to the ground,
Another squadron of the puppet army saw that the situation was not good, handed over their guns and surrendered, and the battle ended at eight o'clock in the morning of the 25th.
The battle for the waterway stronghold turned out unexpectedly, as the Japanese commander Kobayashi was strangled to death after resisting arrest after being wounded by a mortar shell of the Eighth Route Army, seven of the nine surviving devils on the last turret chose to surrender under the persuasion of the Japanese Anti-War League, plus the Yasumi senior soldier who surrendered in the No. 2 artillery tower, and the eight Japanese soldiers in the first battle of the waterway set became prisoners,
Of course, there are also those who resolutely refuse to surrender, Kuwashima Setsuro's friend health soldier Kosugi Eizo is one, the devil health soldier Kosugi, he was trained in the Qingdao Army Hospital, just returned to the army, and was assigned to the waterway base, just arrived in the August 21 attack, at the end of the battle, in order not to be captured, he and another Japanese soldier each took a bayonet, stabbed each other in the heart and died,
Eight Japanese soldiers were captured alive in this battle, which is a great result, you know, in the Battle of Pingxingguan, there was no live devil, the world-famous Tarawa landing battle, the US army paid more than 3,000 casualties to take this small island, but only captured twelve Japanese prisoners, Jia Ruoyu and his subordinates, special name is the eighth company of steel and Song Jiliu and others have made great contributions,
When Jiang Xueshan took the whole company to clean up the battlefield and was ready to withdraw, Jia Ruoyu and the secretary of the Mulai County Party Committee took the people to send large watermelons and other condolences, Jia Ruoyu said with a smile: "Your steel Balian is really a good piece of steel, and the current comrade of the county party committee has brought a big watermelon to you for quenching, everyone is welcome,"
"You're welcome, it's all right to fight the enemy, thank you," Jiang Xueshan said with tears in his eyes,
"My family, don't say thank you, eat quickly, and you have to start work after eating," the secretary of the county party committee said seriously.
"Start work," Jiang Xueshan said in his own words,
Jia Ruoyu said with a smile: "It's going to start, the devil Yoshiyama Dazuo, if you don't call someone to support, his squadron leader will be able to see his subordinate squad leader being beaten and be indifferent, you even put firecrackers into the bucket after eating watermelon, up fiercely, let the little devils in the county come to support, let the comrades who sent reinforcements open their mouths first, invite reinforcements to come in, let's close the door and beat the dogs, isn't it?"
"Okay, haha......"
It turned out that Captain Yoshiyama, who had decided to defend the Suidoji garrison and not send reinforcements, was violently attacked by the second squadron leader, Lieutenant Nehashi Jun, who was supposed to be stationed in Wendeng, heard that his men were surrounded, and came to the Yantai Brigade Headquarters, and when he heard about the matter of Suidoji, he rushed to the captain to reason with him.
It is said that the four squadron leaders of the 19th Brigade of the little devils have their own evaluations among the Japanese soldiers, and it is generally believed that the most bastard is the first squadron leader, and the Kashiwazaki who is called "Kashiwazaki Devil" by the common people is the worst, the oldest is the fourth squadron leader Shibayama Shigeru, the third squadron leader is the third squadron leader Lieutenant Umehara Keiyun, and the most righteous is the second squadron leader Nehashi Jun,
This kind of evaluation seems to be quite well-founded, I heard that the brigade decided not to save the water channel, the lieutenant was in a hurry, found the captain, and scolded Yoshiyama Osa in accordance with the tradition of the Japanese Army, of course, there is also an important factor here, that is, the water channel set was surrounded, all of them were his subordinates of the second squadron, and how to lead the troops in the future if they did not go to the rescue,
However, although Shimokashang can get a good reputation, it is to suffer immediate losses, and the upper and lower classes of the Japanese Army are still very distinct, but this time, Yoshiyama's performance is very personable, and he patiently listened to Nehashi Jun's complaints, thought hard for a long time, and finally decided: "No matter what, we still have to send rescuers,"
Actually, this Osa is also in a dilemma, and he can't make up his mind, so a support force was hastily summoned, and Lieutenant Nehashi Jun led the team to rescue the Japanese troops in the Suido set, Yoshiyama smiled and said: "Hashi-kun, you are responsible for the end, please,"
The establishment of this unit can be said to be varied, and its main force is the engineer and infantry artillery detachments under the brigade headquarters, a total of 67 people, Nehashi Jun felt that the troops were not enough, Yoshiyama Osa had to find a way, and transferred out the adjutant office and the manager's office, the orderlies of the officers, etc., and even the heralds sent to the brigade headquarters by each unit did not let go, and finally reluctantly scraped together a hundred officers and soldiers and handed them over to Lieutenant Nehashi.
Of course, his troops also have a pseudo-security team of more than 500 people accompanying him, but no one expects them to help much, it is now the seventh year of the Anti-Japanese War, which traitor does not leave a way back for himself, it is a complete stupid melon, Yoshiyama has no more soldiers in his hands, otherwise even Yantai will become unsafe, Lieutenant Nehashi Jun had to take this real "hodgepodge" team on the road,
Fighting, and it's not about buying cattle and horses on the market and bargaining, either save or don't save, so turn over and turn over, how can there be no delay, this Yoshiyama Osa should change his career to become an economist, and if he goes back to Japan to sell dogs and cats, he won't be able to buy a "Baoma" in less than two years.
And when the commander of the army, he is not this piece of material, in fact, when Nehashi Jun led the team to set off, the news of the "total annihilation" of the waterway detachment had reached the brigade headquarters, but the captain Yoshiyama Jiro did not cancel the rescue order, which is because he did not believe the accuracy of the news, and thought: "In case the Eighth Route Army wins the battle and relaxes its vigilance, it can make a big profit, so as to turn over the book,
Someone said that the waterway set has been beaten, why is the Eighth Route still nesting here, this is because the timing of our Eighth Route Army's attack on the waterway set stronghold was carefully designed based on intelligence, and it also specially chose the moment when the Japanese army had received the order to retreat to attack, firstly, to avoid the confluence of this Japanese army and its headquarters, to form a joint force, to destroy this Japanese army before its return; Second, I am afraid that because this is the moment when the Japanese army's will to fight is the weakest,
The troops led by Lieutenant Nehashi Jun walked to the vicinity of Qikan in Muping County, and did not notice anything unusual around them, but in fact, at this time, more than 600 people from the 3rd Battalion of the ** Regiment of the Donghai ** Regiment and the ** Battalion of the Muhai ** Battalion had already laid an ambush in Beihe and Beitai Dongshan in the Qikan Village of the Mushui Highway.
Suddenly, the large army of the Eighth Route Army, which was ambushed there, seemed to emerge from the ground, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from a very close range, and the strafing of the Eighth Route Army rifle bullets, grenades, and Czech machine guns hit the Japanese army who was caught off guard, and then, taking advantage of the moment of consternation of the Japanese soldiers, they raised their bayonet rifles and launched a charge, and the ferocious charge of our Eighth Route Army was aimed at seizing the Japanese soldiers' 38 guns, light machine guns and grenadiers, and a fierce white-edged battle began.
When the enemy just entered the ambush circle, I don't know what happened, that is, twelve were captured, at this time more than 100 devils rushed forward, our soldiers immediately used grenades, rifles, machine guns to launch fierce fire, the frenzied Japanese army continued to rush forward frantically to our front line, the enemy and us launched a white-knuckle battle, our officers and soldiers bravely killed more than 40 enemies, one of the soldiers stabbed to death nine devils, repelled the rampant attack of the Japanese invaders, the Japanese army was forced to retreat,
The battle has reached this point, and the unwilling little devil organized all the puppet troops to carry out a second counterattack, and the battle was fierce for two hours, and then deliberately put a hole to let the enemy enter the encirclement, so that the enemy can enter the pocket of our army,
If you had not fought with the Eighth Route Army at the forefront of Shandong, many enemies would not have known that our Eighth Route Army often engaged in white-knuckle warfare, and during the eight years of the Sino-Japanese War, there were many Japanese soldiers in China who took prisoners, because of many close combat.
This time, the white-knuckle battle was no exception, the puppet army fled in a hurry, only a hundred Japanese soldiers with bayonets, but they were not the opponents of the Eighth Route Army at all, in the fierce battle, Lieutenant Nehashi Jun's deputy Lieutenant Asano was stabbed to death by the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army died forty people.
In this battle, more than 40 Japanese troops were annihilated, 8 people were captured, more than 200 puppet soldiers, more than 80 Japanese troops in Yantai and Muping on the 25th, and more than 260 puppet troops reinforced.
In this battle, more than 100 Japanese soldiers were killed, more than 10 people were taken prisoner, more than 18 puppet soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 255 people surrendered to the puppet army were captured, and one heavy machine gun, 12 light machine guns, eight Type 88 grenadiers, one mortar, more than 270 rifles, one radio station and some ammunition and military supplies were captured.
The first battle of the waterway greatly shook the Japanese puppet army in the Jiaodong area, dozens of small strongholds, fled when they heard the wind, the puppet army in Muping County surrendered without a fight, and the puppet army in Rongcheng and Wendeng counties had some anyway, some accepted the adaptation, and some abandoned the city and fled, my main force and the local corps approached Yantai, Weihai, and Shidao, and the situation in Jiaodong was greatly improved, and the various sea areas were connected together, laying the foundation for the future all-round attack and liberation of the Jiaodong region.
Commander Luo said at the meeting: "For the Eighth Company, the battle of the waterways in Muping County was fiercer and more brutal than any other battle, and at the same time, it fought neatly and neatly, and won a brilliant victory, and the price paid by the company was also unprecedented, with 55 casualties in the whole company, 16 comrades-in-arms, including instructor Lu Jun, platoon commander Guo Yunxiu, and squad leader Yu Wenpeng, were killed, and many of the backbone fighters were seriously wounded.
"Yes, that's the case," Xu Shiyou said with a smile.
At the commendation meeting of the Shandong Military Region, Luo Ronghuan said with a smile: "Your Eighth Company of the Jiaodong Military Region is really worthy of the honorary title of the Eighth Company of Steel,"
"Commander Luo, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other," Xu Shiyou said with a smile on his bald head.
"What, there is another second, you Monk Xu, don't sell pipes to our comrades on the stage, say it quickly," Luo Ronghuan said with a smile and urgency,
"This, this...... I...... I can't say it as a monk, it's still my chief of staff, Elder Jia, who said," Xu Shiyou glanced at Jia Ruoyu and Wang Qian, Jiang Xueshan and Gao Lifang in the commended team and said,
Jia Ruoyu glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, then I'll say on behalf of Commander Xu: Our Eighth Steel Company was actually eaten down by the first iron hygienist, Comrade Jiang Xueshan, are you right?"
"Ha, haha......"
Chen Shiyu, chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region and commander of the Binhai Military Region, who came to congratulate him, laughed with everyone for a while, and saw that everyone was looking at Jiang Xueshan and Gao Lifang, who were full of red, and said with a tense face: "Okay, let's stop laughing, otherwise people will be too embarrassed."
Chen Shiyu said to Xu Shiyou as he spoke, "Old Comrade Xu, when will you pay back the person you 'borrowed' from me?"
"Ao, what you said about Song Jiliu, don't ask for your brother, I was about to ask Chief Luo for instructions, and asked him to be the deputy brigade commander and regiment commander, it's overkill to put it in your place, just put it here with me, okay, Chief of Staff Lao Chen,"
"No, Jiliu is already treated as a regular group in my place, I don't use him at all, I still want to promote him, I was kind enough to 'lend' him, and I didn't want to pay it back, it's too much,"
"You are the chief of staff of the large military region, can't you take care of my subordinate and carry forward your style?"
"No......" Chen Shiyu wanted to continue, but was stopped by Luo Ronghuan with a wave of his hand,
"Don't fight, let Xiao Song decide for himself, Xiao Song, where you say you want to go, just say, don't be afraid, everything is up to me Lao Luo to call you the shots, you can go anywhere,"
Song Jiliu looked at the expectant eyes of the two chiefs Chen and Xu and said, "I'm not the one who is an official, I just want to go back to Ganyu and be a squadron leader of a martial arts,"
"Ah," the crowd opened their mouths wide, (.mkxs.)
